Chapter 139 Eighth Floor (please subscribe)
After listening to Lin Xinquan’s explanation, Wu Tao thought to himself: “It seems that there are also people with fantastic ideas in the world of immortality.
But what surprised him was that in the auction house outside, you had to have certain assets to enter, and you couldn't just enter if you wanted to.
Wu Tao asked Lin Xinquan for advice on this question.
Lin Xinquan smiled and said: "Being able to enter the black market is the best proof."
Wu Tao was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
Anyone who can enter the black market is not a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. Even if he is not in the late stage of Qi training, he still has a background or is wealthy.
Afterwards, he and Lin Xinquan entered with the auction cards and randomly found a seat in the hall to sit down. Opposite them was the auction table, which was half a person's height higher than theirs.
All the immortal cultivators present were well-dressed.
When it was time for the auction, an immortal cultivator in black clothes and a ghostly face walked up to the auction stage and said in a low voice: "Welcome fellow Taoists to attend this auction. Without further ado, the auction begins."
"The first lot..."
With the display of the first item, the auction officially entered the bidding stage. Wu Tao came here just to bid for the flying magic weapon refining secret book, so other things were not his goals.
Of course, if he meets someone he's interested in, he won't mind taking pictures.
When he was halfway through, Wu Tao heard the ghost-faced immortal cultivator in Xuanyi say: "The auction begins now with the twelfth item, the first-level and eighth-level flying magic weapon Qingye Zhou refining secret book, the lowest bidding price, five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones , now please fellow Taoists start making quotations.”
When Wu Tao heard the lowest bidding price, he didn't think it was expensive, because after all, it was a secret book, and it was also a secret book for refining flying magic weapons. Once the weapon refiner learned it, he would soon get his money back.
He was not in a hurry to bid, he wanted to see how many people came to bid.
After a few seconds, someone started bidding.
Wu Tao heard the ghost-faced immortal cultivator in Xuanyi shout: "Five hundred and twenty mid-grade spiritual stones once, five hundred and twenty mid-grade spiritual stones twice..."
After hearing this, Wu Tao did not dare to hesitate any longer, because if he hesitated any longer, who would he find to reason with if the decision was made?
He quickly pressed three numbers.
Added ten pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones.
As he increased the price, the ghost-faced immortal cultivator Xuanyi made another offer: "Five hundred and thirty mid-grade spiritual stones once, five hundred and thirty mid-grade spiritual stones twice..."
"Are there any fellow Taoists who still need a quote?"
"If not...it will be a hammer blow..."
The ghost-faced immortal cultivator in Xuanyi looked around at the immortal cultivators below and said.
After twenty breaths.
Seeing that no one made any more bids, the ghost-faced immortal cultivator in Xuanyi banged the wooden hammer in his hand: "Congratulations to this Taoist friend for obtaining the first-level and eighth-level flying magic weapon and the Qingye Zhou refining secret book. Please go to the backstage to hand over after the show. "
Seeing this, Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief and wondered why no one competed with him, but he soon found out.
In this west inner city, there are only two first-level and eighth-level casual cultivation weapon masters. It is useless for others to compete for the secret book of the Qingye Zhou magic weapon. If they cannot refine it, it is equal to a waste. Moreover, the weapon refiners can bid for it and wait for it to be refined. After making a green leaf boat, they can also buy it.
"The one who just quoted the price should be Wu Daoruan."
"Wu Daoruan is old and his life is about to end. He thought that I was the one bidding, so he stopped participating in the auction. I took note of this favor.
Wu Tao realized it in his heart and secretly thanked Wu Daoruan.
Sure enough, just as Wu Tao guessed, the man in black robes in the corner was none other than Wu Daoruan, the only first-level and eighth-level weapon refiner among the inner city's loose weapon masters.
He also came to participate in this black market auction, also thinking to see if he could bid for the Qingye Zhou, but when he heard someone bidding, he immediately understood that the other person was San, who had just been promoted to the first-level and eighth-level weapon refiner. The weapon master Li Mo.
Wu Daoruan gave up instantly.
It's not that he can't compete with Wu Tao, but he doesn't have the will. At his age, he doesn't have the energy to spend on refining first- and eighth-level magic weapons.
His greatest desire is to become a first-level and ninth-level weapon refiner, and then join the Wuquan Mountain Artifact Refining Hall, where he may be able to obtain the life-extending elixir.
So it’s better to give Wu Tao a favor.
With Wu Tao's wisdom, he would definitely understand that this favor was from him.
Wu Daoruan is not afraid that Wu Tao doesn't know. If Wu Tao doesn't even have this bit of wisdom, how can he be promoted to the first-level and eighth-level weapon refiner.
Since Wu Tao has obtained Qingye Zhou, he will no longer participate in any bidding. Of course, in the second half, there is nothing to interest him. His trump cards are enough to protect him until he reaches the foundation building stage. No matter how many trump cards of the same level, It was of no use to him anymore.
After the auction ended, Wu Tao went to the backstage to trade the Qingye Zhou refining secret book.
It's not the original, it's a copy.
Then, instead of staying in the black market, he left the black market with Lin Xinquan.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for getting the Green Leaf Boat." After coming out of the black market, Lin Xinquan congratulated Wu Tao.
"Thank you for the news, Fellow Daoist Lin. When I refine the Qingye Boat, I will give one to Fellow Daoist Lin." Wu Tao said with a smile.
Lin Xinquan smiled and said, "Then I will just wait."
Wu Tao saw that it was getting late and there were still people at home thinking about him, so he said goodbye to Lin Xinquan.
…
The next day.
Wu Tao took out Qingye Zhou's refining secret book in the training room of Xuanyuan Magical Artifact Shop.
A first-level and eighth-level flying magic weapon.
In the entire west inner city, there are no first-level and eighth-level flying magic weapons. There are only first-level and seventh-level flying magic weapons, and most of them are common flying swords. He looked at the Qingye Zhou magic weapon refining secret book and thought in his mind. Said: "Isn't this Qingye Boat also flowing from the Wuquan Mountain Artifact Refining Hall?"
The first-level and eighth-level magic weapon refining secret book is indeed precious and rare among casual cultivators, but in Wuquan Mountain Weapon Refining Hall, it is a popular commodity and is used for disciples to practice their skills.
"It's possible. After all, the black market is also run by Wuquan Mountain."
Wu Tao thought of this and began to understand Qingye Zhou.
Ever since Wu Tao went to the black market to obtain Qingye Zhou, his life has become as stable as ever. In the blink of an eye, another seven and a half months have passed, and Wu Tao has already reached the age of twenty-nine and a half.
In these seven and a half months, Wu Tao finally broke through to the eighth level of Qi refining.
From the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it only took him half a year because of Zhu Guo.
It took him more than a year to go from the seventh level of Qi refining to the eighth level. If Manager Wang hadn't sent him a few bottles of Qing Ling Dan, he might have needed more time to break through to Qi refining as he wished. Eight floors.

Wu Tao sat cross-legged on the futon in the training room, looking at the rows of data representing strength improvement, and thought to himself:
"It will probably take two years from the eighth level of Qi refining to the ninth level of Qi refining."
"The goal I set before, to break through the foundation building at the age of thirty-one, seems to be impossible."
"But there's no rush."
"Based on my status as a weapon refiner, my life is very stable. I don't need to fight to obtain cultivation resources. I only need time to pass slowly and I can complete my Qi refining period."
