Jin Ruoshui, Madam Jin Yang's most beloved descendant, has already cultivated to the late stage of foundation building. If she advances to the Jindan stage, she will definitely enter the core layer of the Jin family.
Madam Jinyang hopes that she can gain more experience and knowledge instead of just practicing hard.
Jin Ruoshui agreed immediately, walked behind Madam Jin Yang and massaged her shoulders.
"Ruoshui, the auction is still short of two hosts. Grandmother wants you to be the host. What do you think?"
The young woman in the golden dress asked with a smile and a loving look on her face.
"I will listen to my great-grandmother in everything. If she asks me to do something, I will do it well."
Jin Ruoshui said obediently that there was competition within the Jin family. Jin Ruoshui's parents died early. If it were not for Madam Jinyang's care, her treatment would be much worse. Even if she could build a foundation, it would be difficult to form a pill. With Madam Jinyang's support, it would be easier for her to advance to the Jindan stage. Therefore, she obeyed Madam Jinyang's arrangements in everything.
"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey, but you are right. If you do it, do it to the best of your ability."
Jin Ruoshui smiled sweetly and nodded in agreement, "Yes, my granddaughter will follow my great-grandmother's teachings. I will do my best to do this and will never bring shame to my great-grandmother."
Madam Jin Yang nodded with satisfaction and instructed, "By the way, you should spend more time with Fellow Daoist Long's descendants. Young people should communicate more. Fellow Daoist Long has a lot of say in the Golden Dragon Sea. If our Jin family can become in-laws with Fellow Daoist Long, it will be of great benefit to the development of our family."
Her meaning was very clear. She hoped that Jin Ruoshui and Long Yaowen would have a happy ending.
The young woman in the golden skirt chuckled and said, "Grandmother, I heard that Fellow Daoist Long is very close to a casual cultivator. I don't think this will work."
"Humph, he is just a casual cultivator, how can he compare to Ruoshui? Young friend Long is not sensible, and fellow Daoist Long will understand. But I think if Ruoshui comes forward, young friend Long will definitely fall at her feet."
Jin Ruoshui forced a smile and said, "Yes, my granddaughter knows what to do."
"Okay? Yuanzhi? You go down first! I want to talk to Ruo."
The young woman in the golden skirt responded with a "?" and turned away.
"Ruoshui, being born in the Jin family, there are many things that you cannot control. You must understand this truth. There are many people in the family who are more talented than you. For some things, you must strive to do your best, otherwise your great-grandmother will not be able to help you even if she wants to."
Madam Jin Yang grabbed Jin Ruoshui's hand with a loving look on her face.
Jin Ruoshui sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "Granddaughter, do you understand? I know what to do."
Three days passed quickly.
At chenshi, the sky was just getting light.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the Golden Crow Palace. A short and fat young man in a yellow shirt stood at the end. A young woman in a blue skirt with ordinary features stood in front of him.
They are Han Changming and Ye Xin who have changed their appearance. The popularity of the auction exceeded Han Changming and Ye Xin's expectations.
Han Daogui, Han Daoxiu and Han Delei also changed their appearances and spread out to facilitate cooperation.
Half a quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the gate of Golden Crow Palace.
Two guards in the Foundation Establishment stage were guarding the door. High-level cultivators did not have to pay any fees, but low-level cultivators had to pay twenty spirit stones each to participate in the auction.
After paying forty spirit stones, Han Changming and Ye Xin walked into the Golden Crow Palace together.
Walking into the Golden Crow Palace, one is greeted by a fan-shaped screen that is shining with spiritual light. On the screen is embroidered a group of lifelike golden crows. There is a bluestone passage on each side. Han Changming carefully noticed that the high-level cultivators walked through the passage on the left, and the low-level cultivators walked through the passage on the right.
Led by a young and beautiful maid in gold, Han Changming and Ye Xin came to a spacious and bright hall. In the center of the hall there was a round stone platform about ten feet high. On the platform were a golden round table and two golden jade chairs.
Hundreds of green wooden chairs are placed around the circular stone platform. On the left side of the circular stone platform, there is an open stone chamber. It can be clearly seen that there is a silver magic circle about ten feet in size in the stone chamber, and a large number of mysterious array patterns are engraved on the surface of the magic circle.
Runes on the wall flickered, emitting a subtle wave of restriction.
There are dozens of luxuriously decorated private rooms upstairs, with closed doors and flickering sunlight.
"Hey, it's Master Chi Jiao. He's here too. It looks like this auction is going to be quite large!"
Someone exclaimed.
Han Changming looked upstairs and saw Master Chijiao walk into a private room.
Most of the seats were occupied by cultivators. Sitting in the front row were several Jindan cultivators. Han Changming and Ye Xin found two seats near the front and sat down.
Time passed little by little, and monks came in one after another.
Because there were so many monks participating in the auction, more than a hundred wooden chairs were added, and soon the seats were filled with monks.
The monks gathered in groups of three or four, whispering or communicating through voice.
After a cup of tea, accompanied by three loud bells, the gate of the Golden Crow Palace closed.
The monks stopped talking and looked towards the circular platform.
There was a muffled sound coming from the circular platform, and it began to shake, lighting up countless golden runes. After a dazzling golden light passed by, a well-mannered middle-aged Confucian scholar and a sexy girl in a golden skirt appeared. They were both foundation-building monks.
"Welcome all seniors to the auction held by our Jin family. My name is Jin Ruoyun, and this is my sister Jin Ruoshui. This auction is the same as other auctions. The highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can mortgage the treasures, or bid on the spot. The bidding will start now."
The middle-aged scholar gave a brief introduction, flipped his palm, and with a flash of green light, a small and exquisite alchemy furnace appeared in his hand.
The alchemy furnace is green all over, and there is a full moon pattern on the body of the cauldron.
"The Qingyang Furnace, a second-grade, top-grade magical instrument, is an alchemy furnace made by our Jin family's alchemist. It is made of Qingyang sand and a variety of materials, and refined using innate true fire for 49 days. The base price is one thousand spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than one hundred."
If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. A high-quality alchemy furnace can improve the alchemist's success rate in making pills. However, the difficulty of making an alchemy furnace is relatively high, and an ordinary second-level refiner cannot make one.
The Jin family is wealthy and powerful, so the alchemy furnace made by the Jin family's refiners will naturally not be of poor quality.
Han Changming already has the Suzaku Furnace, but Han Changlu does not have a good alchemy furnace, so he plans to help Han Changlu buy the Qingyang Furnace.
"one thousand!"
"One thousand and one!"
"I'll give you twelve thousand!"
······
This Qingyang furnace attracted many monks to bid for it, and the price kept rising.
After a fierce competition, the Qingyang furnace was bought by Zheng Guangyao at a high price of 3,500 yuan.
Zheng Guangyao is a formation master, but he asked Han Changming for help twice. He should have bought the Qingyang Furnace for his family. The Zheng family is expected to increase its efforts in training alchemists.
Jin Ruoyun flipped his palm, and a green light flashed. Three palm-sized green jade bottles appeared in his hand. He said loudly: "Three bottles of medium-grade Heyuan Dan, auctioned separately, the reserve price is 2,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 100."
"Mid-grade Heyuan Pill! Did I hear it right? A mid-grade pill appears so soon?"
"Haha, I came to the right auction this time."
The appearance of the mid-grade elixir caused a commotion among the cultivators. Some foundation-building cultivators had remained in the early stages of foundation-building for many years. If they had a bottle of mid-grade Heyuan Pill, they might be able to advance to the middle stage of foundation-building. The middle stage of foundation-building cultivators would also have good effects after taking the mid-grade Heyuan Pill.
Most of the elixirs sold on the market were low-grade elixirs. Three bottles of mid-grade Heyuan Pills suddenly appeared at the auction, and the eyes of many foundation-building cultivators became excited.
Han Changming looked calm. He could refine a mid-grade Heyuan Pill without using spiritual water, so there was naturally no need for him to bid.
"two thousand!"
"I'll give you two thousand two!"
"Two thousand three!"
······
Jin Ruoyun took out one item after another for auction, including elixirs, talismans, sets of magical instruments, puppet beasts, formations, and spirit beasts. Each item was auctioned at a high price. Jin Ruoyun took out quite a few elixirs for auction, and the variety of elixirs was beyond the imagination of the cultivators.
Many cultivators have never heard of some elixirs, such as the onomatopoeia pill, which can change the voice, and the shape-changing pill, which can change the appearance, but these elixirs have time limits.
"It is rumored that the Jin family is good at alchemy, and it seems to be true."
Han Changming thought secretly, and spent two thousand spirit stones to buy a bottle of Shape-changing Pills.
"Five bottles of Soul-Enhancing Jade Liquid. This item can increase spiritual consciousness. It is made from 400-year-old Soul-Enhancing Fruit. The higher the cultivation level, the less spiritual consciousness is increased. They are auctioned separately. The starting price is 3,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 300."
Jin Ruoyun held five palm-sized golden jade bottles in her hands and spoke loudly.
There were not many elixirs that could increase spiritual awareness. The appearance of this bottle of jade liquid that could nourish the spirit attracted bidding from many foundation-building cultivators, and Han Changming also joined the bidding.
Who doesn’t want to have a stronger spiritual consciousness than others? Naturally, the stronger the better.
After a fierce competition, Han Changming spent five thousand spirit stones and bought a bottle of Soul-Nourishing Jade Liquid. When he walked onto the circular platform to pay the spirit stones, a woman in a red skirt also walked onto the circular platform.
The woman in the red dress had gorgeous features, a hot body, snow-white skin, and red bells on her ankles and hands. The bells swayed with every step she took.
"Mu Linger! It's her!"
A flash of surprise crossed Han Changming's eyes. He didn't expect to meet Mu Linger here.
At the beginning, Mu Linger cooperated with them to pick thousand-year-old peaches and fulfilled the agreement faithfully, which left a deep impression on him and Ye Xin.
Under the circumstances at that time, Mu Linger could have just left, but she still fulfilled her promise and gave the thousand-year-old peach to Han Changming.
He was not using his real appearance now, so Mu Linger did not recognize Han Changming.
Returning to his seat, Han Changming uncorked the bottle and a faint strange fragrance wafted out.
A satisfied expression appeared on his face and he put away the jade bottle. He was sure that this was not the Nine Yuan Soul-Refining Liquid, but the Soul-Refining Jade Liquid refined with the four hundred year old Soul-Refining Fruit. The effect should not be bad. If he used the Taiyi Hualing Gourd to refine it, the effect should be even better.
"Three Rejuvenating Pills. I don't need to explain the efficacy of Rejuvenating Pills. I will auction them separately. The starting price is 5,000 Spirit Stones. Each bid must not be less than 300."
Jin Ruoyun shouted loudly, holding three green jade bottles in her hands.
The Rejuvenation Pill has the effect of keeping youth forever. Which female monk doesn't want to stay young forever? These three Rejuvenation Pills caused a crazy bidding among the female monks.
Ye Xin, who usually lives frugally, couldn't help but bid, and Han Changming could understand.
After a fierce competition, Ye Xin bought a Rejuvenating Pill at a high price of 25,000 spirit stones.
"Four Golden Thunder Demon-Slaying Talismans, a large-scale thunder spell with great power. Even a second-level upper-grade demon beast would not dare to take it head-on. The base price is five thousand spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than five hundred."
Jin Ruoyun took out several auction items and the transaction prices continued to rise.
Half a quarter of an hour later, twelve tall and strong men walked out of the circular platform carrying two huge golden iron cages. Each of the golden iron cages contained a light golden crow. They had four wings on their backs, bald heads, and thin necks. They looked a little ugly. These were two second-grade low-grade spiritual birds.
"We in the Jin family have raised quite a few four-winged golden crows. These two second-grade lower-grade four-winged golden crows have extremely fast flying speeds, which are not inferior to second-grade middle-grade flying instruments. Don't miss out on them. The base price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 500."
"Four-winged golden crow! This is the representative spiritual bird of the Jin family. It is said that all the children of the Jin family can adopt a four-winged golden crow. It is really enviable."
"If you take a picture of these two four-winged golden crows and take them back to breed, you will definitely make a fortune. Four-winged golden crows fly very fast."
"You're dreaming! The four-winged golden crow is the representative spiritual bird of the Jin family. It must be castrated before being sold."
The monks were talking about it, and many people's eyes became heated.
Han Changming did not have a spiritual bird yet. Most of the things he raised were spiritual insects. He started bidding, but the competition was too fierce and he failed to buy a four-winged golden crow.
Zheng Guangyao bought a four-winged golden crow at a high price of 40,000 spirit stones.
Han Changming was secretly surprised. He was indeed a formation master. He spent 40,000 spirit stones to buy a second-grade low-grade spirit bird.
Of course, this is also because the four-winged golden crow's flying speed is extremely fast, far exceeding that of ordinary spiritual birds, otherwise Zheng Guangyao would not have spent 40,000 spiritual stones to buy a four-winged golden crow.
After bidding for the two four-winged golden crows, Jin Ruoyun took two steps back and sat on the jade chair. Jin Ruoshui took a step forward, smiled sweetly, and said, "Next is the time for the finale auction item, and I will host it."
She shook her sleeves towards the round jade table, a golden light flashed, and ten green porcelain bottles appeared on the table.
"Ten foundation-building pills, auctioned separately, with a starting price of 20,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000."
After Jin Ruoshui finished speaking, there was a commotion among the cultivators present. Many of the cultivators came from immortal cultivation families, and they were unable to make foundation-building pills by themselves, so they had to rely on auctions.
The Golden Dragon Sea is rich in immortal cultivation resources, and the immortal cultivators are wealthier than those in other seas, so the starting price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is also higher.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"I'll give you 23,000!"
······
The sound of bidding continued one after another, and Han Changming also participated in the auction.
The competition was very fierce. Han Changming spent 65,000 spirit stones to buy a foundation-building pill, and Zheng Guangyao also bought a foundation-building pill.
Han Daogui and others also started bidding, but they failed to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill.
