From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 207 - 202: Jiedan Spiritual Item

"Chi Longzi..."

Mu Daoist savored the name, certain that he had not heard it before, and said with a slight smile, "Guidance is a bit of a stretch. I’m not sure what Daoist friend Chi Longzi requires, the Five Elements Golden Core?"

"Such a precious thing, naturally, I dare not covet it. Just one Golden Core Spiritual Item will suffice."

Li Kunlun spoke in a deep voice, "Of course, a Thunder Attribute Golden Core Technique is also needed."

The Five Elements Golden Core, this famously prominent Great Pill, was even known to Li Quanqing.

Rumor has it that cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots have a strain of Heavenly Spirit Qi in their bodies, which can help with Core Formation, thus ensuring a guaranteed Golden Core and a Nascent Soul Seed.

The Five Elements Golden Core was a precious elixir developed by Ancient Cultivators to emulate Heavenly Spirit Qi, applicable to Foundation Establishment cultivators of all Spirit Root attributes.

It is said that a single Five Elements Golden Core could increase the success rate by nearly fifty percent, virtually guaranteeing the formation of a Golden Core.

Below that are the Water Element Golden Core, the Fire Element Golden Core, and the like, with about half the efficacy of a Five Elements Golden Core, but requiring a matching Spirit Root attribute.

"A Golden Core Technique... It seems to be a Loose Cultivator without any heritage."

Mu Daoist couldn’t help but laugh: "Naturally, our Demon Hunting Hall has such techniques, and even many for Core Formation. Would this Daoist friend like to join us and serve the entire Human Clan?"

Of course, that was impossible.

Li Kunlun shook his head and spoke in a deep voice: "I can offer other compensation; I only need the heritage of one technique."

Mu Daoist pondered for a moment, and only after some thought, did he speak: "In consideration of the young friend Chi Longzi, I am willing to do Daoist friend a favor. I happen to have a big mission to complete; how about you two join me when the time comes?"

Li Quanqing narrowed his eyes, always feeling that this old man was up to no good: "You don’t plan on using us as bait again, do you?"

"How could that be? It’s just an ordinary demon hunting mission, very simple. With Daoist friend’s cultivation, it should be a cinch."

Mu Daoist said with a smile, his face proudly displaying an "I am very sincere" expression.

"Is it to hunt a half-demon spy?"

Li Kunlun’s eyes dropped, and bursts of electric spark exploded, carrying an astonishing pressure.

"More or less, but I can’t reveal more information before the mission officially begins, lest we startle the snakes."

Mu Daoist said, his words quite cautious, seemingly involving quite a significant affair.

Keep in mind, among them were two cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, who still had to act so cautiously.

Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun exchanged glances, communicated secretly, and after a brief discussion, they finally made a decision.

"Are you sure you will provide us with a Thunder Attribute Golden Core Technique?"

Li Quanqing was still somewhat uneasy and continued to press.

"A promise is a promise. If the young friend is not at ease, how about we swear an oath to Heaven?"

Mu Daoist’s expression was serious, and his demeanor sincerely earnest, not seeming to be false.

"Let’s skip the grand oaths. We’ll take the mission. When exactly will it be?"

Li Kunlun shook his head and refused, being very wary of various oaths. He had learned many lessons in his youth and could not make them carelessly.

"The mission will take place after the grand auction—on the third of next month, when the crescent moon is newly born."

Mu Daoist’s eyes flickered with a hint of joy. He set a specific time, then exchanged secret phrases and a Communication Jade Token for easy contact.

"Did we just get played by this old man?"

Li Quanqing left the black market, riding the clouds under the moonlight with a cool breeze on his face, feeling that something was amiss.

"It doesn’t quite count as that, at least this old man is telling the truth. After all, he’s a cultivator from the Demon Hunting Hall, his credibility is guaranteed."

Li Kunlun slightly shook his head and didn’t take it too seriously: "Anyway, it’s just a mission, might as well consider it a contribution to the Human Clan."

Li Quanqing thought about it carefully and indeed it was the case.

They returned to the Immortal City and stayed in their Cave Mansion, quietly waiting for the big auction to begin.

Several days later, the Cold Chi Immortal City was bustling with noise and excitement as numerous cultivators arrived in groups, and the day of the auction had finally come.

This big auction would last for about five days, and it could be said to be the most fortunate event of the past few decades.

Therefore, a vast number of cultivators came to participate in the Immortal City auction, with Qi Refinement cultivators appearing in droves, rubbing shoulders with one another, and only Great Cultivators could swagger about.

On this morning, as soon as the sun rose and the wind and snow howled, the daylight shone down, and both Li Quanqing stepped out from their Cave Mansion.

It was still early, but the streets were already exceptionally lively, with many vendors setting up their stalls and selling goods, much like in mundane dynasties.

Outside the icy crystal-built auction house, cultivators were already waiting, seemingly having spent the entire night just to snatch a good spot early.

Li Kunlun handed in an invitation, for after all, they came with a mission from their family, generous in their spending, they directly rented a private box, sparing themselves the discomfort.

"Gentlemen, please follow me~"

After the auction house’s guard verified that there was nothing wrong with the invitation, a bright and beautiful maid came over, her steps graceful and sinuous, leading the way with full and exquisite curves.

Li Quanqing remained expressionless, having experienced such scenes many times before, it no longer moved him.

The maid ushered them into a private box and personally steeped a pot of fragrant and aromatic Spiritual Tea, then presented several scrolls bordered with gold thread.

"Please enjoy, gentlemen. These are some of the items for the upcoming auction. If you see something you like, be sure to set your heart on it early~"

They unrolled the bronze scroll and saw that on the smooth and silky brocade, the names of various treasures were embroidered with golden threads, exuding an extraordinary aura of Spiritual Energy.

Li Quanqing briefly scanned with his Divine Sense and suddenly, his eyes fixated in surprise, "Really, there are Golden Core Spiritual Items for sale?"

The maid heard this and smiled complacently: "Indeed, that is the star item of this auction. If the guest wishes to obtain it, you must be ready with enough Spirit Stones in advance!"

Li Kunlun’s gaze also turned to the scroll, and at the very end, a shining name caught his eye, particularly striking. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Heavenly Fire Crystal..."

This was one of the most common Jiedan Spiritual Items, capable of increasing the Core Formation probability of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator by roughly ten percent.

If it was refined by a Fire Spirit Root Practitioner, it could be increased by another five percent.

Legend has it that if the Heavenly Fire Crystal is combined with the Mystic Water Essence, one could use the Water and Fire Refining Golden Pill method and condense a Tao-infused pill.

Just in terms of success rate, it was no less generous than a Water Element Golden Core.

Used together, the two could be considered the highest grade method for Core Formation, just beneath the Five Elements Golden Core.

"It’s a pity, there is only one Heavenly Fire Crystal for sale, it seems there won’t be much..."

Despite saying this, Li Kunlun’s palms couldn’t help tightening around the scroll, clearly excited at the prospect.

He couldn’t resist touching the several Storage Bags at his waist, wondering if the Li Family’s accumulation would allow them a chance to compete?

Li Quanqing sipped on the fragrant tea, waiting for about an hour, until finally an Array wove before him, revealing the scene on the auction stage.

"A good day to all the distinguished guests, at this Immortal City’s grand auction..."

After a round of soporific pleasantries, the auctioneer presented the first item with a beaming smile:

"A Second Rank Foundation Establishment Pill, starting bid twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
