From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 169: Yang Flame Fish

Wearing the Thousand Illusion Mask, Li Quanqing, clad in a Daoist robe of Red Dragon, gracefully walked out from his Cave Mansion, his large sleeves fluttering, creating gusts of wind with each step.

Today, was the day of the Great Auction.

The Great Auction House in Cold Chi Immortal City was uniquely constructed, entirely carved out of crystal-clear ice, radiating a chilly aura and exuding stunning beauty.

Li Quanqing stepped onto the icy steps, surrounded by massive pillars of ice, large enough that five to six people could embrace them together, supporting the grand and vast auction venue.

Although lacking some delicacy, there was an indescribable rough, wild aura emanating from it, brimming with boldness, unlike the usual style of local Cultivators from the East Sea.

These ice bricks were fortified by Spells and reinforced with Arrays, making them unmeltable and enduring for thousands of years, with no need to worry about collapsing or melting.

After showing his Identity Jade, Li Quanqing was immediately welcomed in and casually picked up a fan-shaped Magic Artifact used for bidding.

Looking around, the auction hall was densely packed, with thousands of seats arranged in a fan shape, undulating continuously.

Li Quanqing found a position near the front, where all the seats were still made of ice blocks, sleek and cool, everything sparkling with a crystal sheen.

"Too cold!"

He casually pulled out a cushion and placed it under himself before comfortably sitting down, fiddling with the small fan in his hand.

Upon opening the fan, the words "Number Eighty-Eight" were engraved on it. When Mana was infused, these words would illuminate and project overhead, very conspicuous.

Furthermore, it had a function similar to a loudspeaker, convenient for Cultivators to make their bids, amplifying their voices.

Simple and easy to use.

The environment here was too noisy, Li Quanqing didn’t bother to meditate but instead looked around, observing the Cultivators present.

Since it was just an ordinary auction, only about half of the seats were filled, lacking that lively atmosphere.

Among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, including him, there were about eight, providing not much competition, hence he could relax and enjoy the auction.

"Seems Cold Chi Immortal City always has plenty of Foundation Establishment Cultivators; just a routinely held auction can attract Great Cultivators comparable to the whole Situ Family."

Li Quanqing shook the small fan, took out a Treasure Light Toad from his arms, and gently stroked it, occasionally eliciting a croaking sound.

Finally, the auction began.

Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed, leaving only a thick beam of Spirit Light falling from above, dust flying about.

Under the illumination of the light, a beautiful young Female Cultivator descended from above, her dress fluttering, revealing pale and slender jade feet stepping on the void.

At her delicate ankles, several golden rings clashed incessantly, emitting crisp and pleasant sounds.

"I am Jin Lan, greetings to all fellow Daoists..."

The Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator landed on the auction stage, displaying a gentle smile, her voice ethereal and melodious, with shallow dimples appearing at the corners of her mouth.

Li Quanqing caressed the Treasure Light Toad, finally taking things seriously, his gaze filled with slight surprise.

Having a Foundation Establishment Cultivator serve as the auctioneer, a dignified gesture indeed fitting for the grandeur of Golden Core Immortal City.

"The first auction item, a low-grade Spiritual Artifact, Mother-Child Burning Wood Sword, one sword splits into three, incredibly powerful, especially suitable for Captivators with Wood Spirit Root and Fire Spirit Root~"

Jin Lan smiled as she introduced, her tone playful but none of the Qi Refinement Cultivators dared to joke about it.

She stretched out her jade hand, taking out a palm-sized dual-colored Flying Sword, exquisitely crafted.

Clang!

As the Foundation Establishment Cultivator channelled Liquid Magic Power, the Flying Sword suddenly enlarged, emitting a resonant sword cry, transforming into a handleless long sword of normal size.

The blade of the Burning Wood Sword was as red as fire, while the edges were a lush green, intricate Artifact Patterns intertwined within, the sword light misty, utterly appealing.

With a flick of her finger, the entire sword split apart, turning into one red and two green streaks of light, continuously flying around her.

"A standard Spiritual Artifact, but the design is quite ingenious..."

Li Quanqing scrutinized it carefully; being a Second Rank Artifact Refiner, he naturally noticed more details than ordinary Cultivators.

Many Qi Refinement Cultivators hastily started bidding, while the Great Cultivators of Foundation Establishment seemed less interested, with only a few speaking out, and the price did not rise high.

Eventually, this Mother-Child Burning Wood Sword was acquired by a Qi Refining Perfect Cultivator.

He was quite decisive, standing up and leaving immediately after, no longer participating in the rest of the auction.

Jin Lan smiled slightly, then took the second auction item, her red lips slightly parting: "A First Rank top-grade Meteorite Spirit Array, capable of gathering meteors for attack, highly suitable for Immortal Cultivation Families..."

Li Quanqing looked at each item, the quality of the auction items was quite good, ranking at the top among the First Rank treasures.

Even a few items slightly moved him.

Finally, an irregular metallic block appeared in his view, vibrant red mixed with some gold, like a ball of Heavenly Fire burning fiercely.

"Heavenly Fire Gold, a Second Rank Fire Element Spirit Ore, formed from celestial fires colliding with terrestrial mineral veins, extremely suitable as a main material for forging Spiritual Artifacts..."

"Starting bid, 500 low-grade Spirit Stones."

Although the treasure was valuable, there were few bidders, apparently lacking Second Rank Artifact Refiners onsite, undoubtedly good news.

Li Quanqing seized the opportunity, calling out a price: "800 low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Several Qi Refinement Cultivators continued to bid, unabashed in the grand auction setting.

Those Foundation Establishment cultivators glanced at him but still lacked interest.

Finally, Li Quanqing successfully acquired it for eleven hundred spirit stones!

"Xuan Fire Liquid, a Fire Attribute Second Rank Spiritual Liquid, developed by ancient practitioners, specially used to refine Fire Element spiritual materials and ores..."

"Red Flame Essence, only born in places where the essence qi of fire in the heaven and earth is extremely abundant, mostly found deep within spirit stone veins, with a violent nature..."

One by one, Fire Attribute Spiritual Objects were presented, appearing intermittently every few auction items without end.

Li Quanqing was overjoyed, that Fellow Daoist Yan Qianye was indeed a person of his word.

These were all materials intentionally brought to this auction for crafting the Flame Dragon Array.

In the East Sea, the essence qi of the Water Element is abundant, and Fire Spirit Root Practitioners are already scarce, making various Fire Element Spiritual Objects rare but also not highly priced.

Li Quanqing spent a total of over six thousand low-grade spirit stones, successfully purchasing all the spiritual materials needed to make the Array Flags.

Now, what’s missing are only the Second Rank spiritual wood for poles, and the flag surfaces weaved from Fire Attribute silk, these two most important spiritual materials.

"Second Tier Water Element Merfolk Silk, woven by the Merfolk clan from the sea using the essence of sea water, a precious Merfolk Silk, can be used to refine Vestment robes or Water Element Banner spiritual artifacts..."

Li Quanqing’s gaze flickered, immediately spotting Female Cultivator Jin Lan taking out several pieces of aqua blue silk, smooth and soft, shimmering like holding a vast ocean in one’s hand.

It was the famous Merfolk Silk.

As one of the hundreds of clans in the sea, the Merfolk clan is not strong, but each one is dexterous and cunning.

They can weave sea water into silk, most suitable for refining into garments for Human Clan Cultivators, with excellent magic power conductivity.

Also, this Merfolk Silk is one of the main materials for crafting the Gui Water Divine Thunder Array.

Li Quanqing was determined to obtain it.

He started bidding, as Merfolk Silk is a rare treasure, contending with three Foundation Establishment cultivators, all eyeing this treasure.

Many Qi Refining cultivators were also very interested, but unfortunately could not participate in the snatch with these Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, they could only watch the price rise astonishingly.

Li Quanqing kept a stoic face, continually raising bids, spending money like water, and finally successfully purchased the Merfolk Silk for over four thousand spirit stones.

"My heart bleeds!"

On the surface, he seemed calm, but inside he felt painfully heartbroken, as all these spirit stones were the hard-earned rent collected from Baoying Square.

Fortunately, the quantity of the few pieces of Water Merfolk Silk was large enough for him to refine dozens of Array Flags and set up the formation.

"For the flagpoles of the Gui Water Divine Thunder Array, let’s use branches of Thunder Peach Wood, the grade is sufficient, containing abundant thunder power, and most importantly, it’s free."

Li Quanqing sat in the chillingly cool seat, having already made his decision.

During the subsequent auction, he successively purchased Thunder Stone, Thunder Liquid, and other auxiliary spiritual materials, completely gathering all necessary materials for the Gui Water Divine Thunder Array.

"Good, two Second Rank arrays, we’ve guaranteed one, leaving only the Nine-Nine Flame Dragon Array..."

Li Quanqing was actually quite satisfied inside, one could say completely content, the fire attribute spiritual wood and silk all depended on fate.

At this moment, the Female Cultivator on the auction stage took out a batch of fiery red stones, transparent like crystal, radiating strands of red dawn light, illuminating the surroundings brilliantly.

Despite the distance, a heatwave surged along with a faint sulfur smell.

Li Quanqing looked over, immediately surprised to find that these were not any mineral spirit iron but lively entities.

He saw within the red crystals, each sealed a fiery red Spirit Fish, flake by flake, scales dazzling like molten lava, wafting slight golden glows.

Counting roughly, there were twelve Spirit Fish.

"Yang Flame Fish, a special demon beast living in magma, fond of inhaling and exhaling flames and lava, flesh and bones contain rich Fire Essence Qi, comparable to Spirit Pills."

"Long-term consumption can enhance flame affinity, and even has a small chance to upgrade the grade of Fire Element Spiritual Root..."

Despite the auctioneer’s flowery descriptions, the atmosphere in the venue remained low, with few cultivators interested.

Again, there are too few Fire Spirit Root Practitioners, not many are interested.

Moreover, these Yang Flame Fish need to be raised in lava, which is very troublesome, who would build a volcano just to raise fish?

Li Quanqing looked at the twelve Yang Flame Fish, but felt quite interested.

Fish-Dragon Island had an artificial active volcano, which was the nest of the Dragon Flame Eagle.

Now nourished by the aura of the Second Tier Demon Beast, it produces a large amount of magma-like Fire Spirit Liquid every day.

This hot magma cascades from the mountaintop cliffs forming a spectacular volcanic waterfall, creating a small Fire Spirit Pond.

These Yang Flame Fish could thrive in there, perfectly suitable.

Moreover, such rare and strange demon beasts had always been Li Quanqing’s favorite, potentially yielding some extremely special Light Group rewards.

Bought!

Seeing the chilly auction hall, Li Quanqing raised his fan to bid, just increasing by several hundred spirit stones from the base price, and successfully acquired it!

Finally, the auction gradually came to an end, with the climax being a Second-tier high-grade Heart-Clearing Barrier-Breaking Pill.

This elixir could assist Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators break through bottlenecks, extremely precious, naturally the price was high.

Li Quanqing glanced twice, then stood up and left, having no desire to bid.freewēbnoveℓ.com
