Chapter 562: Chapter 206: Probing, Treasure in Hand, Effects of the Small Teleportation Jade Disc

At this moment, his only hope was that the array within the auction house could function effectively, blocking the Divine Sense probing of Core Formation Realm cultivators.

Even if it couldn’t completely block it, he hoped that the God Avoiding Pill he had placed around would successfully evade the opponent’s Divine Sense inspection.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

For the first time, Zhou Changwang was this nervous.

He could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

And at this moment, the venue became silent.

Everyone was anticipating, waiting.

Waiting for the reaction of Ziyu Master.

Some couldn’t help but release their Divine Sense to probe the chamber where Zhou Changwang was located.

However, the Celestial Essence Auction was no ordinary place; the chambers inherently had Divine Sense isolation arrays, naturally blocking all their Power of Divine Sense from penetrating.

"Three hundred and forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, once!

Three hundred and forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, twice!

..."

At this time, Fupin Hermit Qin Manlian was not idle either; she couldn’t let the atmosphere continue like this.

So, she directly began pressuring with bids.

And this time, once again, everyone shifted their gaze to the box where Ziyu Master was, inexplicably expecting something.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths.

However, since the last bid, he hadn’t spoken, and no light flashed from the box.

Consequently, Fupin Hermit Qin Manlian decisively struck the hammer and directly said, "Three hundred and forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, three times, sold!"

Consequently, this Minor Divine Technique, Little Spirit-Banning Technique, fell into Zhou Changwang’s hands.

Next up was the Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant, Thunder Spirit Grass Seed.

Then it was a Middle-Grade Treasure Artifact Defense Shield, Fourth-Grade Spirit Plant, Thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng... Finally, it was the highlight of this auction, the Condensing Void Pill which could increase the Core Formation success rate by ten to twenty percent for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, and the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, Blue Spirit Ice Flame, coveted by countless Alchemy Masters.

One treasure after another was auctioned, with astonishingly high prices.

Especially the final Condensing Void Pill and Blue Spirit Ice Flame, both of which exceeded a million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in auction price.

But all this had nothing to do with Zhou Changwang.

After acquiring the Minor Divine Technique, Little Spirit-Banning Technique, he quietly left the chamber and found the staff to retrieve the auction proceeds of the Foundation Establishment Pill and Foundation Condensation Pill he provided.

Because at this moment, he actually didn’t have that many Spirit Stones on hand.

Fortunately, the auction didn’t require on-the-spot settlement of Spirit Stones.

He just needed to make up the corresponding Spirit Stones within three days, and he could retrieve the auctioned items.

Of course, as a condition, he needed to provide collateral worth thirty percent of the auctioned items.

Because he was aware of this rule beforehand, he dared to bid.

While his Spirit Stones were insufficient, he did have quite a few treasures.

There were several Low-Grade Treasure Artifacts, enough to serve as collateral.

However, there were indeed some hiccups in the process of retrieving Spirit Stones.

In the Cultivation Realm, a cultivator who could provide Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Condensation Pills was enough to garner attention anywhere.

So when he reappeared, despite the ongoing auction, the Celestial Essence Auction quickly dispatched a Foundation Establishment cultivator to meet him.

"Kunpeng Daoist.

I am Qin Yingxian, a steward of the Celestial Essence Auction.

I was startled when I heard someone sent up Foundation Establishment Pills for auction.

I never expected that you would look so young."

Qin Yingxian sized up Zhou Changwang and said with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist Qin is too kind.

I just appear young.

Moreover, how can Immortal Cultivators’ age be judged by appearance?"

Zhou Changwang cupped his hands and also glanced at the other party.

Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment, Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Although they addressed each other as fellow cultivators, the other party’s cultivation made him slightly wary.

"That’s true.

But there’s a question I am genuinely curious about and wish to ask."

Qin Yingxian said, seeing Zhou Changwang’s calm demeanor, he continued, "Were those Spirit Pills of yours refined by yourself?"

"Oh? Is there a concern about this?"

Zhou Changwang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Naturally not.

In the Cultivation Realm, although most Foundation Establishment Pills are produced by major Immortal Sects, the major Cultivation Clans wouldn’t place all their hopes in those sects.

They naturally also cultivate their own Alchemy Masters to study and refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

For example, my Qin Family also has an Alchemy Master capable of refining Foundation Establishment Pills.

But the reason I’m asking is simply to assess your Alchemy capabilities and perhaps recruit you."

Qin Yingxian shook his head, hurriedly explaining.

"I suppose I’ve overthought it.

However, unfortunately, although I’m an Alchemy Master, refining Spirit Pills like Foundation Establishment Pills isn’t easy for me.

The Foundation Establishment Pills put up for auction were not refined by me."

At least, not all of them.

Among the three Foundation Establishment Pills, one was obtained from Xue Xuanqing’s storage bag.

Saying he didn’t refine them wasn’t exactly lying.

"Oh, that’s a pity.

May I ask, do you have a mentor? To what level is your Alchemy skill?"

Qin Yingxian immediately followed up.

"Fellow Daoist, your questions are a bit probing.

Do I need to undergo interrogation to normally collect my auction Spirit Stones?"

Zhou Changwang frowned, his face cooling instantly.

"Not at all."

Qin Yingxian’s expression stiffened at these words, yet he still took out a storage bag and handed it over, saying, "Three Foundation Establishment Pills, five Foundation Condensation Pills, altogether auctioned for over one million seventy thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones. After deducting ten percent auction commission, there are ninety-six thousand left. We waived some of the small amounts here, leaving ninety-seven thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones for you, please accept them!"
