I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 814: Chapter 463: Auctioning Foundation Building Pills_2 Chapter 814: Chapter 463: Auctioning Foundation Building Pills_2 Chen Mobai’s puppet incarnation did not require spiritual energy, so he did not plan to participate in the ongoing events.

He only needed to stay here for a full year to qualify for the auction for Foundation Building Pills.

However, since he registered with the cultivation level of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, he couldn’t act too out of the ordinary.

Therefore, when a new Qi Practitioner of the Ninth Layer brutally killed a Loose Cultivator of the Seventh Layer to seize the latter’s house, Chen Mobai stood up indignantly, expressing his disapproval of such behavior. After a tough fight, he used a disguised blade light to slay the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer practitioner.

Following that, he naturally moved into the house with a rather decent concentration of spiritual energy.

With the feat of slaying a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer practitioner, he also came to have a notorious reputation within these slums.

Chen Mobai’s Formless Puppet was simulating the “Tai Bai Gold Sword Technique” that he had acquired at the Starry Sky Commerce Guild auction, so the locals started calling him the Golden Blade Hero.

But this title was derogatory, implying that he was ruthless but hypocritical, always looking for a morally high justification before committing his actions.

However, that was also the rule of the Golden Blade Hero. If you plundered or killed in front of him, then expect his relentless pursuit.

Although many disliked him, in the slums, Chen Mobai became a guardian deity to many Qi Practitioners at the bottom, and many chose to move next to him.

Because at least by his side, no one dared to rob or plunder recklessly.

A year passed quickly.

Chen Mobai, disguised as the Golden Blade Hero, successfully entered the Treasure Color Market auction. He ignored the elixirs and magic artifacts precious to Qi Practitioners, waiting till the very end for the Foundation Building Pills.

“There are five pills in total, with each pill auctioned separately, starting at 10,000 Spirit Stones!”

A Foundation Establishment Practitioner of the Nanxuan sect in charge of the auction did not waste words and took out five White Jade Vials, arranging them on the stand.

“11,000 Spirit Stones!”

A Qi Practitioner promptly bid, causing a wave of snickering.

“12,000!”

From a private box on the second floor, someone added a whole thousand Spirit Stones at once.

“13,000!”

…

After several rounds of bidding, the financially powerful Chen Mobai directly bid 15,000, silencing everyone.

Loose Cultivators practicing Qi, even those with a Rank-2 profession, could not save up so many Spirit Stones; 13,000 Spirit Stones per Foundation Building Pill was basically the limit they could afford.

Chen Mobai’s bid of 15,000 instantly made everyone hold their banners down.

“Which family does this person belong to?”

Inside a second-floor private box, a Foundation Establishment Practitioner from the Nanxuan sect asked a Jiao family Cultivator next to him.

After Jiao Deyun was killed by Yu Lian and the other two, the remaining Jiao family swiftly merged into the Nanxuan sect. With their knowledge of the Rock Country and prior management of the Treasure Color Market, they quickly became central figures.

“Reporting to Xuan Qi, this person is a Loose Cultivator from the slums outside the market, named Chen Xinglan, referred to as the Golden Blade Guest…”

Although the Nanxuan sect did not care about what happened outside the market, the Jiao family still gathered many Loose Cultivators as underlings, and after some inquiries, they knew the origin of Chen Mobai’s puppet incarnation.

“He is quite talented, indeed, but for a mere Loose Cultivator to have so many Spirit Stones, he must have encountered a great opportunity…”

After hearing this, Xuan Qi looked at “Chen Xinglan” and couldn’t help showing a hesitant expression.

“If you are interested, my lord, after the auction is over, I can arrange for someone to follow him and then…”

The Jiao family Cultivator made a throat-slitting gesture with his right hand. Xuan Qi struggled with the decision but eventually sighed and shook his head.

“We came here to the Eastern Wilderness to create a safe rear base. If we were to do such a thing and word got out, our reputation would be completely ruined. Let’s drop the idea.”

Hearing Xuan Qi’s words, the Jiao family Cultivator secretly felt it was a pity, as without a Foundation Establishment Practitioner’s intervention, he didn’t have the ability to silently make a Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer Cultivator disappear.

Nevertheless, he still signaled to his family’s Cultivator to mark the pills’ vials so that they could be traced later.

As a local Cultivator of the Eastern Wilderness, he knew that the auction of Foundation Building Pills was only the beginning. The key was whether one could survive and leave with the pills.

Perhaps their Jiao family could benefit as the third party.

After all, without Jiao Deyun, they had no Foundation Establishment Practitioner, and although they presented a formidable front with the Nanxuan sect’s backing, internally they were desperate for another member of their family to reach Foundation Establishment.

For this Foundation Building Pill auction, the Jiao family had also taken out their savings, intending to secure one for themselves.

But as they were getting ready to bid on the second pill, the Golden Blade Guest surprisingly bid again. Although the Jiao family did not back down, they could only give up in frustration when the price reached 16,000 Spirit Stones.

They simply could not compete.

Could this Loose Cultivator really have so many Spirit Stones?

The Qi Practitioners present were annoyed with Chen Mobai’s hearty bids and began to discuss noisily.

“Fellow Daoist, how about we settle the transaction for these two Foundation Building Pills first?”

The Foundation Establishment Practitioner from the Nanxuan sect hosting the auction heard the discussions below and, after pondering for a moment, also felt that a Loose Cultivator might not have so many Spirit Stones, so he said with a forced smile.
