A pill that can help a Foundation Establishment cultivator break through a level – this is a true breakthrough pill!
"Brother Gu, is your information accurate? Is there really a pill that can help us break through our current realm?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Gu Fei, who took a sip of spiritual tea and then retrieved a white jade slip with a wave of his hand.
"A friend of mine is a steward at this auction house. This jade slip contains information about some of the auction items. Although it's not comprehensive, it does mention this breakthrough pill."
The others passed it around, and when Zhang Ling received the jade slip, he probed it with his spiritual sense. In a few breaths, he had finished reading the information.
"Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill."
"I'm sure you've all heard of this pill. That's right, the Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill is the secret pill of the Five Spirits Sect."
The "Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill" is said to be able to allow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to break through a level out of thin air. Zhang Ling had naturally heard of this pill's great reputation.
Breakthrough pills that allow Qi Refining cultivators to break through a small realm are uncommon among cultivators, but they are not even comparable to the "Five Elements Spirit Pill."
The Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill does not refer to a single pill but is divided into five Spirit-Nourishing Pills with five elemental attributes. It is said that the Five Spirits Sect has also refined several Spirit-Nourishing Pills with different attributes.
This pill is very famous, but he had heard that the Five Spirits Sect does not pass it on to outsiders, so he did not expect it to be auctioned off.
The Five Spirits Sect is also a strong sect, with three Nascent Soul stage elders in the sect. Its heritage dates back tens of thousands of years.
This means that Zhang Ling, who is currently at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, can break through to the late stage in a short time by taking the "Earth Spirit Pill" that suits him.
This is not comparable to ordinary pills.
For cultivators, the progress of their cultivation is the most important thing. Among pills, the most precious are longevity pills that can extend lifespan.
Next are breakthrough pills, followed by pills that consolidate the foundation and cultivate the Yuan. These pills enhance the cultivator's mana. The Heavy Yuan Pill that Zhang Ling is currently using for cultivation assistance is this type of spiritual pill.
Finally, there are pills for healing and detoxification. Of course, there are also some pills with special attributes, and their effects vary.
News of this pill naturally attracted the attention of Zhang Ling and the others.
Soon after, Zhang Ling walked out of Gu Fei's house and headed towards his cave.
In his hand, he held a cyan jade token, which he had purchased from Gu Fei. It was a pass to the auction.
It cost him three hundred spiritual stones. Gu Fei told them this news with ulterior motives, which was to sell these jade tokens.
According to him, this auction will be held underground. It is very secretive, and you cannot enter without a pass.
Zhang Ling did not pay much attention to this. At this moment, his mind was focused on the auction news.
In order to quickly increase his cultivation, he had to compete for the Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill. Only by breaking through his cultivation could he better survive in the dangerous world of cultivation.
The auction was scheduled to be held in half a month.
In the following days, Zhang Ling entered several markets in the Immortal City, but he did not hear any news about the auction. It seems that either the auction house is indeed secretive, or Gu Fei is lying.
However, the probability of this person lying is extremely small, after all, he told several fellow Daoists at the time.
During these few days, Zhang Ling also prepared for this. First, he exchanged the eleven or twelve useless high-grade magical artifacts he had obtained earlier for spiritual stones.
In total, he had nearly thirty thousand spiritual stones, which made him feel like he had made a fortune overnight. Adding the spiritual stones in his storage bag, he had nearly forty thousand spiritual stones.
Even so, he was still not at ease. At the same time, he also prepared three or four rare spiritual herbs for emergencies.
……
Half a month later, one night, on a sparsely populated street, a three-story pavilion called Qingyun Tower lit up with some red lanterns, but its doors were tightly closed.
If someone could enter it, they would find it empty, without a single figure.
But at this time, more than ten feet below the Qingyun Tower, a grand auction was being held in a large stone cave.
The stone cave in front of them had been built into an underground stone hall. The hall was extremely wide, with carved beams and painted pillars, and was more than two hundred feet in size. On both sides, there were more than a dozen huge pillars that required several people to encircle, supporting the top of the hall.
It was also dotted with some moonstones and some lanterns, illuminating the entire stone hall. More than a hundred stone houses were built around it, and they were already full of cultivators.
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for winning the Azure Steel Shield for five thousand three hundred spiritual stones."
On the central jade platform, a black-skirted beauty illuminated by white light said, holding a small hammer and striking a golden gong next to her.
Then, a white-clothed girl quickly walked up beside the beauty, holding a palm-sized cyan shield, and walked down.
The black-skirted beauty flipped her jade hand, and a golden small sword appeared in her hand. "High-grade magical artifact, Golden Edge Sword, starting price three thousand spiritual stones."
The golden sword flashed in everyone's hands, turning into a golden giant sword more than ten feet long, with golden lights flickering on it.
"Three thousand three hundred spiritual stones!"
"Three thousand five hundred!"
Immediately, it attracted the bids of many cultivators. And the white-clothed girl who had previously walked down the steps, dragging a tray with the cyan shield on it, came to a stone house on the corner.
"Senior, this is the magical artifact you bid for," the girl said lightly.
The cyan shield on the tray in the girl's hand flew up and floated into the stone house.
Seeing this, the girl cupped her hands and left.
"Azure Steel Shield."
Zhang Ling took the cyan shield and inspected it before happily putting it away.
He did not have many defensive magical artifacts. Although he had obtained more than a dozen high-grade magical artifacts before, there were only two or three defensive magical artifacts. And only a white, misty bead was suitable for him.
Therefore, he came to participate in this auction with the intention of finding a defensive magical artifact.
Although magical artifacts are only divided into upper, middle, lower, and high-grade, high-grade magical artifacts are very different. Due to the different materials, the differences between high-grade magical artifacts are still very large.
This Azure Steel Shield was made by adding Azure Rock Iron. It is itself a hard spiritual ore, worth more than five thousand spiritual stones, and its defense is much stronger than ordinary high-grade magical artifacts.
With this magical artifact, he can also make up for the lack of his defensive magical artifacts.
The auction was proceeding in a tense and fiery atmosphere, and every item was a treasure.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.
"Next, are the finale items that all fellow Daoists have been waiting for, please take a look." The black-skirted beauty's hand flashed with spiritual light, and five jade bottles of different colors floated in mid-air.
"Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill!"
For a time, excited shouts came from many stone houses. The beauty's charming face also showed some excitement, and she brushed the hair in front of her forehead and continued.
"That's right, this is the famous Five Elements Spirit-Nourishing Pill. The secret spiritual pill of the Five Spirits Sect. Each pill can allow a Foundation Establishment cultivator to break through a small stage in a short time."
"Then let's first auction the Earth Spirit Pill, the starting price is thirty thousand spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than five hundred low-grade spiritual stones." The beauty waved her jade hand, leaving only the yellow jade bottle in her hand.
The bottle stopper was gently opened by her, and a rich earth attribute spiritual power floated out.
