Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 141: Chapter 102: Spirit Pill Acquired! Bloody Battle!

Lu Li followed the bright light and after taking a step, he arrived in a large hall.

The hall was very spacious, easily spanning several dozen zhang in diameter, with green fire basins placed all around. The flames rose in the stone basins, illuminating the surrounding space, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

A pathway in the center led directly to a platform at the front, where a pigeon-faced old man sat cross-legged, his cultivation at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, his aura as deep as the ocean.

On both sides of the pathway, a large number of cushions were placed, and at this time, some cultivators were already seated on them, all of them Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Some people were also wearing cloaks and various beast head masks, making it hard to see their true faces.

Lu Li didn’t use his Divine Sense to scan either, as it was a taboo act that he wouldn’t commit.

He walked slowly to a corner in the west side and sat down cross-legged, waiting quietly.

It was clear that the auction had not yet started.

Time slowly passed by.

Cultivators came in one after another, and soon the entire hall was filled with Foundation Establishment Cultivators, their powerful auras rippling throughout the venue.

Beside Lu Li, a woman in a black robe took a seat, her figure quite slender, wearing a fox head mask.

The woman’s cultivation was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, her Spiritual Pressure extremely powerful.

Faint fragrances also diffused through the air.

At this moment, seeing that the time was about right, the pigeon-faced old man on the platform stood up, his whole body’s aura bursting forth, intimidating the entire hall.

A number of early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the audience tightened their faces.

“Now that everyone has arrived, let’s officially start the auction,” The pigeon-faced old man slowly said.

“I hope all fellow Daoists will respect the order of the venue, and anyone who causes a disturbance will be severely punished,” After finishing his speech, his eyes were sharp like lightning, sweeping over the audience with a hint of warning.

A moment later, the old man spoke again in a loud voice, “The first item for this auction is a Top Grade Fire Attribute Magic Artifact, with the starting bid at eight thousand Spirit Stones, each bid must be no less than one hundred.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a voluptuous female cultivator walked leisurely towards the stage, holding a Jade Plate in her hand with a fiery red Flying Sword on it.

The old man picked up the Flying Sword. Once stimulated with mana, the three-foot Flying Sword exhaled strands of sword light, flickering red, and a wave of heat swept across the hall.

Seeing that the audience was quite moved, he was very pleased.

“The bidding begins!”

As the word came out, a red-robed man hurriedly started the bid.

“Eight thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Nine thousand Spirit Stones,” another person couldn’t help but call out a bid.

“Nine thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.”

…

…

Prices went up rapidly, and soon a man with a wolf head mask made a bid, his voice very low.

“Twelve thousand Spirit Stones.”

As soon as these words came out, a group of cultivators in the hall frowned; the price was already very high, and people were not fools.

Seeing the price rise, the old man on the platform was delighted, the first item fetching a good price made him look forward to the final lot even more.

Lu Li watched the group bidding quietly, without making a single offer.

The black-robed woman beside him was also silent, obviously not targeting this item.

After a moment, seeing that there were no further bids from the audience, the old man announced the man’s successful bid.

He put the Flying Sword back into the Jade Plate, and a beautiful Qi Refinement female cultivator carried the Jade Plate over to the wolf head-masked man.

The man took out a bag of Spirit Stones and handed them over, then collected the Flying Sword.

The old man quickly counted the Spirit Stones and smiled slightly.

“The second auction item, a third-grade Earth Attribute spiritual material, a portion of Flowing Cloud Sand, with the starting bid at two thousand Spirit Stones.”

He brought out a chunk of earthy-yellow spiritual ore and placed it on the table.

The surface of the spiritual ore was very smooth, emitting a faint glow.

“Two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.”

As soon as the old man’s words fell, a blue-robed man made a bid.

“Two thousand six hundred Spirit Stones.”

…

“Three thousand Spirit Stones.”

Only a few people in the venue were bidding, creating a somewhat cold atmosphere, indicating there were not many Artifact Refiners interested in spiritual materials.

Seeing this, Lu Li suddenly became interested; third-grade spiritual ores were quite rare and could be used to refine Divine Weapons.

He now needed a large amount of Five Elements Spirit Ore.

“Three thousand one hundred Spirit Stones.”

He bid softly.

Following his bid, the hall suddenly went quiet, with no other cultivators bidding.

The old man waited a bit, and seeing no interest, he directly announced Lu Li’s successful bid.

Afterward, a woman came slowly, delivering the spiritual ore to him.

Lu Li handed over the Spirit Stones to her and put the spiritual ore into his Storage Bag, quite satisfied.

The auction continued.

One after another, magic artifacts, spiritual materials, and medicine pills were bought by numerous cultivators, and the atmosphere of the venue gradually heated up.

Lu Li also bid a few times, satisfied with acquiring several second-grade Five Elements Spiritual Items.

More than half an hour later, the auction quickly reached the last item.

Seeing the fervent atmosphere in the hall, the pigeon-faced old man was beaming with joy.

“The final lot of this auction is the Heavenly King’s Essence Pill.”

Suddenly, a large Medicine Pill appeared in the old man’s hand.

The pill was as big as a fist, surrounded by a misty aura, and as soon as it was taken out, the air was filled with a strong fragrance.

Everyone in the audience couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths, their interest piqued.

Even Lu Li felt a surge of excitement.

The old man, very satisfied with everyone’s reaction, spoke again.

“This pill is a mid-grade third-tier Spirit Pill, refined from a trace of the blood of a true phoenix’s descendant, with very powerful healing effects. As long as the physical body is not destroyed, it can rely on this pill to recover and also slowly enhance one’s physical vitality and foundation, which is also highly effective for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
