Starting as a Son-in-law to Establish an immortal Family

Chapter 1212: Chapter 421: Auction, Robber Cultivator Causes Trouble! (Two in One)_3

Although Lu Caizhen’s Foundation Establishment was not publicized,

his wife, lacking scheming, often spoke to him about various matters, so he faintly speculated about it but never dared to confirm.

“Mm, you and your spouse should get along well on normal days.”

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi slightly nodded and then inquired about the situation of the Lu Family.

After hearing that there had been no news about Lu Quanzhen, Hong Yi sighed.

He had high hopes for Lu Quanzhen in his earlier years.

He believed that even with a Lower Grade Spiritual Root, Lu Quanzhen could achieve no small success.

Later, upon hearing that Lu Quanzhen exhibited the strength of the Energy Refinement Late Stage during the assault on White Tiger Mountain, he even believed that the other party could breakthrough to Foundation Establishment!

Unfortunately, Lu Quanzhen had been out for so many years without any news.

Otherwise, if Lu Quanzhen had broken through to Foundation Establishment, he might have been able to support his own son.

“Alas.”

Hong Xuanji also sighed slightly when talking about Lu Quanzhen, not knowing where his elder brother-in-law had gone.

The other party had bid him and Lu Caizhen farewell when he set out years ago, leaving behind some parting words.

But unexpectedly, after so many years, there was not a trace of news.

….

Time passed by little by little.

After the venue became crowded, a man and a woman came onto the auction stage.

“Welcome all seniors and Daoist friends to grace Red Leaf Valley Market with your presence.”

“I am Lu Qingze from Blue Lake Mountain, fortunate to preside over this auction… I hope everyone can purchase items to your liking…”

“During the auction process, it is forbidden to threaten or maliciously inflate prices, and such disruptive behaviors will result in the forfeiture of cultivation level and expulsion from the market…”

After a few opening remarks and introducing the auction rules, the man went straight to the point and began to introduce the auction items.

“The first item of this auction is the ‘Breakthrough Elixir’…”

In addition to the finale Foundation Establishment Elixir, Lu Changsheng also had his family prepare some fine elixir medicines, talismans, and heavenly and earthly treasures for this auction.

The many treasures he had acquired from White Peak Immortal could slowly be processed through such auctions.

However, it was difficult to liquidate advanced-level heavenly and earthly treasures at the modest Red Leaf Valley Market.

“One hundred Spirit Stones!”

“One hundred fifty Spirit Stones!”

“Two hundred Spirit Stones!”

…

With each item presented, the auction proceeded vigorously.

Even though many came for the Foundation Establishment Elixir at the end, they also gained considerable rewards from this auction.

The auction was grand, lasting three days.

There was also an intermission midway each day.

On the third day, the auction entered its final phase.

The quality of items today was increasingly high, with casual bidding amounts reaching hundreds, thousands, and even nearly ten thousand.

“Ladies and gentlemen, next up is the last item of our Red Leaf Valley Market auction— the Foundation Establishment Elixir!”

Lu Qingze spoke with a somewhat excited voice on the stage.

As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere in the entire venue seemed to solidify.

Countless people held their breath, staring intently at the auction stage.

Suddenly, a stunning woman in a pink and white dress, with a beautiful, radiant, and pristine appearance, exuding a peaceful and elegant charm, stepped onto the stage and handed out a porcelain vial.

“Who is this woman? She’s so beautiful!”

“Lu Wangshu, the Lu Family Ancestor Lu Changsheng’s much beloved daughter, a Second Grade Talisman Master.”

“A Second Grade Talisman Master? Lu Changsheng, truly starting from the Talisman Path, now has a Second Rank Talisman Master in his children.”

“Hiss, if I could marry this woman, wouldn’t Foundation Establishment be hopeful?”

“The descendants of the Blue Lake Mountain Lu Family seem to have quite a few good-looking ones.”

“You can always trust the taste of the Lu Ancestor.”

“Hm? What magic artifact did this woman use to conceal her cultivation level, is she not an Energy Refining Cultivator but a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?”

As Lu Wangshu stepped onto the stage, many people immediately started discussing, with looks of admiration and astonishment.

Some Foundation Establishment Ancestors seeing Lu Wangshu suspected that she might be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

After all, a precious elixir like the Foundation Establishment Elixir, in order to avoid risks, would not generally be placed in the hands of Energy Refining Cultivators.

“Sister Wangshu has worked hard.”

Lu Qingze received the Foundation Establishment Elixir, then opened it and announced: “The function of the Foundation Establishment Elixir, I believe, needs no further explanation.”

“It can harmonize the three barriers of Foundation Establishment, protect and strengthen the meridians and Dantian of the breakthrough practitioner, significantly improving the chances and safety of Foundation Establishment.”

“However, this particular Foundation Establishment Elixir has a flaw, it is but an inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir, and can only increase the likelihood of Foundation Establishment by ten percent.”

Lu Qingze spoke with a clear voice, introducing the item.

“An inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir, increasing the chances by ten percent?”

Upon hearing this, various forces in the venue reacted with both surprise and disappointment.

After all, many had come in hopes of a genuine Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Meanwhile, some of the Loose Cultivators and small family forces realized the competition for the inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir would be much less, giving them a chance.

“This Foundation Establishment Elixir will have a starting bid of five thousand Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than two hundred.”

Lu Qingze announced loudly, unperturbed by the commotion below.

Lu Wangshu remained gracefully upright on the stage, observing the surroundings to prevent disturbances.

“Six thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Seven thousand Spirit Stones!”

“Seven thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!”

…..

Despite being an inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir, the competition was fierce.

The price soon soared to eight thousand Spirit Stones.

Many Loose Cultivators sighed at the sight; they had hoped for a slight chance with the inferior Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Yet, the competition remained intense.

Many factions, after hesitating for a moment, also chose to give up.

After all, besides being flawed, the Elixir carried risks on the journey back.

“Ten thousand and two hundred Spirit Stones!”
