Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1555: Chapter 576: Failure? I’m Used to It_2

”Next, let’s talk about the auction that will take place in a few days!”

What’s there to talk about regarding the auction?

Luo Chen was curious in his heart.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Wu Qi quietly explained to him, perhaps to make up for his previous abruptness.

As it turns out, this auction involves many powers, both large and small.

The main participants are True Master Feileng, Tianyuan Business Alliance, Mo Luo Sect, Penglai Immortal Sect, and Canghai Alliance.

The resources to be auctioned are mostly provided by them as well.

One can imagine that the resources put forth by such great powers, even if not particularly needed by oneself, are definitely of high quality. Once on the auction block, the bidding competition can drive the prices up sharply.

What Dan Shubao is doing now is acting as a middleman, connecting a group of people in advance, roughly planning the ownership of certain auction items to prevent people from the same group from outbidding each other and harming their camaraderie.

The atmosphere of conversation in the venue has been initiated by Dan Shubao, so people speak up from time to time.

”The Ling Ting Stone that True Master Feileng has put up, Chu someone is determined to get it, and I hope my fellow Daoists will allow me face when the time comes.”

”I’m sorry, but I am currently in dire need of crafting a Sea-Calming Disk, and the Ling Ting Stone is of great use to me as well.”

The Sea-Calming Disk is a common magic artifact in the North Sea.

For cultivators who are not of the water attribute, it is common to be at a disadvantage when battling water attribute cultivators on the open sea.

However, the Sea-Calming Disk can stabilize the winds and waves, block the mist, negating the geographic advantage.

Not only that, if such a magic item is placed on an island and combined with corresponding arrays, it can create a small environment of calm seas and favorable weather.

If a clan or sect acquires it, they can use it to purchase living environments.

Whether for cultivation or the breeding of certain marine produce, it’s exceedingly beneficial.

Common Sea-Calming Disks are easy to find, but good ones are not.

The inferior ones are merely at the level of a magic tool, but the excellent ones can reach the tier of a magic item.

The one who said these words is clearly a Golden Core Cultivator with a fire attribute like Luo Chen. Battling at sea puts him at a significant disadvantage, so he urgently needs a Sea-Calming Disk at the level of a magic item.

Watching the dispute between the two, Luo Chen caught himself in thought.

At a lower realm, the restraining effect of the Five Elements attributes on a cultivator’s battle is not so obvious, because with a low realm, cultivators often rely on external items for combat.

But at a higher realm, reaching the status of Divine Transformation and Nascent Soul, one can already utilize the great momentum of heaven and earth, and even the Power of Laws.

Though these Golden Core Cultivators cannot reach that level, they can also take advantage of geographical benefits in battle.

Therefore, the doctrine of mutual generation and overcoming among elements increasingly affects the battle and cultivation of cultivators.

”Should I take the time to get a Sea-Calming Disk myself?”

After thinking about it, Luo Chen dismissed the idea.

His fire attribute spirit power was cultivated and transformed through the ”Tianhuang Nirvana Sutra,” which is supremely dominant in nature.

Ordinary geographical advantages, such as contradicting paths of water and fire, cannot affect him at all.

Rather than spending spirit stones on these areas, it would be better to study other methods.

The dispute between the two cultivators was gradually resolved under the mediation of Dan Shubao.

The cultivator surnamed Chu ultimately persuaded the other party.

The Ling Ting Stone was essential for his cultivation and he had to have it.

As for the Sea-Calming Disk, it didn’t necessarily require a Ling Ting Stone. After the cultivator surnamed Chu promised to replace it with another material, the two reached an agreement, and the latter decided not to compete with him in the auction.

Of course, if someone from other powers was determined to bid strongly at the auction, the cultivator surnamed Chu would have to rely on himself.

The dispute over the Ling Ting Stone thus ended.

Subsequently, people continuously announced the resources they wanted to avoid competing with fellow cultivators present.

”I must have the Vessel-Opening Grass, as I have a direct descendant whose meridians are naturally blocked and requires the Vessel-Opening Grass to refine related elixirs. Although this item is of the Third Order, it should be of little use to fellow Golden Core cultivators here, so I suppose no one will compete with me for it, right?”

”That piece of Nine Yang Geng Gold is already in my pocket, I hope no one will hinder me when the time comes.”

”Friend, your words are misguided. Nine Yang Geng Gold is the top grade among Geng Gold. Just adding a little to a magic item flying sword of both metal and fire attributes will make it incomparably sharp. I too am resolute in obtaining it!”

”Heh, you really want to compete with me?”

”Each relies on their own means!”

”I wonder if any of the Daoists present are interested in the Coral Colored Glaze Umbrella?”

”Friend Yueluo, do you want it?”

”Not for myself, but it happens to be a relic of a good friend of mine, which was acquired by someone who killed for treasure. Now that it has turned up at the auction, I intend to buy it and return it to my friend’s family.”

”If Friend Yueluo wants it, then Xu will not compete with you for it. After all, it is only a Lower Grade Magic Item.”

”Thanks!”

...

As Luo Chen observed this scene, he understood the purpose of this segment based on what Wu Qi had said.

It’s nothing more than personal connections to avoid reckless bidding at the auction, which would seriously harm the harmony.

From this perspective, the alliance between Mo Luo Sect and Penglai Immortal Sect seems to be a settled matter, as they have already started to avoid conflict in details.

He was also curious about another question, ”Some resources are provided by our three parties. Why not keep them internally? Why need to put them up for auction?”

Wu Qi replied through voice transmission: ”This grand event is single-handedly facilitated by True Master Feileng. If we consume it internally, no one can compensate for her share of profit.”

The auction in Leng City is organized by True Master Feileng?
