Chapter 93 Return to the Clouds
Although Fang Yang and his team had not counted Li Chunqiu's belongings, Fang Yang first took out several Qi-retaining talismans from Li Chunqiu's storage bracelet.
This item can restrain the breath, and they disguised themselves as four cultivators in the middle stage of Qi training.
Fang Yang himself practiced the Formless Art, and his spiritual consciousness was extremely high, so he was more adept at disguising himself.
You know, Yanyun Mountain is just the most basic immortal place for cultivation, with only a small sect of the Yanyun Sect and a few cultivation families.
The largest force, Yanyun Mountain, has only one Jindan cultivator.
Fang Yang and his team's Qi-retaining talismans were also made by Jindan cultivators. As long as they are not too unlucky and encounter Jindan cultivators who rarely come out of retreat, there will probably be no problem.
"This Yanyun Mountain is where I first practiced. Most of the cultivators here are low-level Qi training cultivators. If the four of us enter as foundation-building cultivators, it will probably cause a small commotion!" Fang Yang said.
"Although this place is remote, there is no guarantee that there are no spies from the big sects!" He Dong nodded.
After Fang Yang and his four friends changed their appearance, they did not leave together, but entered the Xiaoyun Market in Yanyun Mountain one by one.
They claimed to be casual cultivators from Xianling City and Liuli Xiancheng, and paid spirit stones to buy identity jade slips.
Then, they "met by chance" in Changsheng Pavilion, which provided temporary caves in Xiaoyun Market.
Then, after bargaining with the boss, they found that they did not have many spirit stones.
Then they reluctantly rented a cave with good spiritual energy and four caves.
Casual cultivators generally do not have too many spirit stones, but they hope to enjoy a better cultivation environment, so it is quite common to share a cave, so they did not receive any suspicion.
Although the four of them escaped from Linglan Mountain, no one was idle.
He Dong began to heal Nuo Po.
Fang Yang began to refine some healing pills.
And Zhang Lin rented a secret room for refining instruments with earth fire to further refine Fang Yang's Xuanyin Banner.
This place is only 10,000 miles away from Fang Yang's hometown Fengcheng in Western Shu.
Fang Yang wanted to go home several times, but finally decided not to go back.
Because he knew that he had caused a huge disaster.
If he really went back rashly, he might be found out one day and his family would be killed.
Thinking of this, Fang Yang's determination to become stronger became more determined.
"If I were a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, I would be able to go home openly, and other forces would give face to my family, so there would be no need to hide like this!"
Whenever Fang Yang thought of this, he felt sad and angry.
As a paradise for low-level cultivators, there were almost no big things in the Xiaoyun Market in Yanyun Mountain.
Fang Yang and his friends rested here for half a year to take care of Nuo Po's injuries.
At this time, the annual Xiaoyun Market Auction was held again, and Fang Yang and his friends planned to go and see it together.
Although they didn't think they could buy any treasures in such a remote place, they knew that such an auction would naturally attract cultivators from other places.
They also wanted to inquire about the recent changes in Linglan Mountain.
Fang Yang and his four companions showed off their strength as peak Qi training cultivators at the largest auction house in Xiaoyun Market, and soon they got a luxury box on the second floor of the auction house.
They didn't even pay the entrance spirit stone.
You know, there are only a few foundation-building cultivators in the entire Xiaoyun Market, and the four of them, who are at the peak of Qi training, are naturally comparable to one foundation-building cultivator.
Fang Yang found that there were ten luxury boxes on the second floor, all arranged with formations.
Fang Yang and his companions asked a servant in advance, and the largest box was reserved for Yanyun Sect, and the other three were reserved for the three major cultivation families.
However, in recent years, the Liu family, the largest cultivation family in Yanyun Mountain, seems to have announced that all foundation-building cultivators have been practicing secret methods in seclusion, and such a trade fair has not been participated in for several years.
The remaining boxes are prepared for some powerful casual cultivators.
Therefore, there are only four foundation-building casual cultivators participating in the auction this time. Therefore, although Fang Yang and his companions are only at the peak of Qi training, they have a large number of people, so they still entered the box.
Soon, many cultivators came to the auction hall, most of them were casual cultivators from nearby.
However, there were also some disciples who were traveling outside the sect, but their number was very small.
A cultivator in the early stage of foundation building, wearing a gray robe, walked onto the auction platform, "I am Lu Feng, the elder of Yanyun Sect. As usual, this auction will be hosted by our Yanyun Sect. I hope that all Taoists can buy the treasures they like today! Without further ado, please look at the first treasure."
As they spoke, two disciples of the fifth and sixth levels of Qi training brought up a jade box.
Lu Feng opened the jade box, and a burst of fragrance wafted out.
"This is a three-hundred-year-old jade juice grass, which can be used to refine third-grade or even fourth-grade elixirs! The starting price is 100 low-grade spirit stones."
"120 low-grade spirit stones!"
A cultivator of the tenth level of Qi training with white beard and hair said. Judging from the medicinal aura emanating from him, he should be an alchemist.
"150 spirit stones..."
"I'll offer 170 spirit stones..."
The spirit grass was finally bought by the alchemist for 200 spirit stones.
"Ten bottles of third-level elixirs, including detoxification, healing, and spiritual gathering, with a starting price of 520 spirit stones."
"Top-grade magic weapon - Fire Sword, starting price 3600 spirit stones..."
After a round of bidding, although there were many things that made Qi training cultivators envious, Fang Yang's current wealth was not worth looking at.
At this time, Lu Feng took out an old album, which seemed to be made of bark.
"The purpose of the barbarian atlas is unknown!" Lu Feng said somewhat unconfidently.
"How dare you put it up for auction if the purpose is unknown?" There was a commotion in the crowd.
"However, there are barbarian characters on it, which is probably related to ancient ruins. If there are monks who want to have a chance to become immortals, you must not miss it. The starting price is 300 spirit stones!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
Lu Feng didn't know the function of this thing, but after inspection by an appraiser, it was quite old.
"Haha, this piece of shit actually costs 300 spirit stones. It's really a steal!"
"That's right, that's right, how can the immortal relationship be so easy to conflict with? Do you have to spend more than ten years to go to the barbarians to learn their ancient writing?" Many monks sneered.
“What if I learn it and find out it’s a recipe?”
"Hahahaha..." This statement caused the monks to laugh.
"Album?" Nopo's eyes widened, obviously very interested.
"It seems to be a real barbarian relic!" Nopo roughly detected it with his spiritual sense.
"Okay! Let's buy it! Finally, this auction was not in vain!"
Fang Yang seemed very happy. In the end, Fang Yang and the others bought this ancient book for 400 spirit stones.
"Everyone, this grand finale treasure is coming. I hope everyone is excited!"
Lu Feng smiled, and at the same time, the entire auction house fell silent, waiting for the last treasure.
Lu Feng carefully took out a sandalwood box from the inner hall.
There are many talismans on the wooden box. Although they are all low-level talismans, they are arranged very neatly, forming a small formation to prevent the loss of spiritual energy.
Fang Yang and the others were all from the Wanxiang Sect, so they could naturally see the clues.
"This thing is a 500-year-old Ruiyin Ganoderma!" As soon as Lu Feng said this, there was a commotion in the crowd, and even exclamations came from several boxes.
"I'm afraid all fellow Taoists know the efficacy of Ruiyin Ganoderma!"
Lu Feng explained with a smile: "This is a wonderful thing among the fifth-level spiritual grass. It can increase life span, and its medicinal properties are very gentle. Qi training monks can use this thing to extend their life span!"
"Of course, monks in the foundation-building stage can use this object to refine elixirs that increase longevity. If you have relatives in this world, you can also use this object to increase the longevity of your relatives!"
"For mortals?"
"Tch, we are all monks, tell us what use it is for monks!"
"This thing can prolong the life of a mortal by at least a dozen years, it can extend the life of a Qi-training monk by thirty years, and it can extend the life of a foundation-building monk by ten years!"
"Can it really extend the life of a monk? These spiritual herbs are rare treasures!" There were waves of admiration from the crowd.
"If I can extend my life span by 30 years, I'm afraid it's really possible to build a foundation!" A very old, white-haired monk at the top of Qi training showed a longing light in his eyes.
However, he also thought that this thing was probably very expensive, and he, a poor casual cultivator, couldn't afford it, so he couldn't help but shook his head, and instantly became a little older.
Lu Feng listened to the discussions of many monks under the auction stage without interrupting.
After a cup of tea, he slowly said: "Since everyone knows the importance of this object, please bid more."
As he spoke, Lu Feng carefully opened the sandalwood box and exposed the Ruiyin Ganoderma lucidum.
Only a half-foot-long red Ganoderma lucidum appeared in front of everyone.
It’s just that there is a layer of turquoise moss on the umbrella surface of Ganoderma lucidum, which looks bright and beautiful, just like the green grass on the top of Ganoderma lucidum. It is really beautiful.
Moreover, after the sealed talisman was opened, the scent of Ganoderma lucidum from the sandalwood box came out, making the monks in the entire hall feel refreshed.
At this moment, there was a burst of noise in a luxurious box, "You can buy this thing to honor my old man. Hahaha, the elixir refined from this thing will definitely make the old man happy, and it may even make the old man live a long life." Yuan has reached the pinnacle of foundation building!”
This person is Luo Guan, the eldest son of the Luo family, the three major families in Yanyun Mountain.
Luo Guan is a monk in the early stage of foundation building.
The reason why he can make such a loud noise on such an occasion is naturally because of his family background.
"Brother Luo, this thing is also very important to my Zhang family. I think I can't give in today!"
Another person in the box spoke, and upon hearing the voice, Lu Feng knew that this person was Zhang Renfeng, the second son of the Zhang family in Yanyun Mountain. He was also a monk who had just established the foundation.
The three major cultivation families in Yanyun Mountain are the Liu family, the Luo family, and the Zhang family.
Among all the forces in Yanyun Mountain, the Liu family is the largest family after the Yanyun sect, so that both the Luo family and the Zhang family must join forces to compete with the Liu family.
Just a few years ago, all three of the Liu family's foundation-building monks announced that they were in retreat, and the Liu family's ancestor who was at the top of his foundation-building program was also in retreat. It was said that he was pursuing the golden elixir, which could take at least a few years, or at most ten or twenty years.
Since then, the Liu family's power has begun to fade away from Yanyun Mountain.
Without the suppression of the Liu family, the Zhang family and the Luo family would naturally no longer stick together.
Although they were afraid of the ancestors of the Liu family, they had secretly tested them over the years and after cannibalizing some of the Liu family's property, they found that the Liu family had no counterattack.
They even began to speculate that the ancestor of the Liu family had died, and the three foundation-building monks of the Liu family might have lost their desire to compete for supremacy, so the two families began to fight overtly and covertly.
In fact, the Yanyun Sect brought out this treasure at this time, and specially invited the Luo family and the Zhang family, perhaps because they wanted to use this object to provoke a conflict between the two families.
At this critical juncture, the two factions were unwilling to show weakness, so they would naturally fight each other, allowing the Yanyun faction to benefit from it.
