Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 144: Chapter 105 Old Coachman, How Dare You Deceive Me Like This_1

Inside Box number eight, Dan Chenzi, the number one Pill Refiner of the Broken Mountain Gang, was engrossed with the small tripod in his hand.

Yes, a small tripod.

This Four Symbols Tripod, aside from inscribing the Earth Rock Array, Strong Defense Array, and Fire Gathering Array, surprisingly also contained a Ruyi Array.

Therefore, it could change size according to will, shrinking from a height of ten feet to fit in the palm of one’s hand.

Dan Chenzi — Luo Chen, was utterly thrilled.

With this tripod, he had an extra choice for either attack or defense.

Moreover, even though its pill refinement function wasn’t as superior as a proper Ascendant Grade Pill Tripod, it was still ample for processing three to four furnaces worth of raw materials at once.

If a Pill Refiner was skilled enough, he could even process five portions of raw materials simultaneously.

Seeing Luo Chen naturally and effortlessly put the small tripod into his storage bag, Mi Junping at his side sourly reminded him:

”Luo Chen, this wasn’t bought for you. It’s the property of the Pill Hall.”

”Ah, I know, I know, I’m simply holding onto it temporarily, temporarily!”

Luo Chen laughed out loud, making it seem like he understood completely.

However, no matter who looked, it was clear that Luo Chen intended to take it for himself.

Mi Shuhua didn’t seem to care. As long as Luo Chen was under his control, this Four Symbols Tripod still belonged to him.

In other words, it was just like buying a superior plow for his own ox. That’s it!

Now, even the ox seemed very happy. Wouldn’t it work harder on the fields in the future!

He laughed and said, ”I took a look just now. This tripod is not as useless as we thought. The average Ascendant Grade Magic Tool only carries three First Order Arrays. However, a tool carrying four arrays is basically a Top Grade Magic Tool.”

”Perhaps the four arrays on the Four Symbols Tripod aren’t a great match. But the quality of the material is good. If used properly, it could be considered a small Top Grade Magic Tool.”

”We actually made a small profit from this auction.”

Upon hearing his words, Luo Chen became even more enamored with the Four Symbols Tripod.

Even though it was the property of the Pill Hall, wasn’t he the one using it?

He also received a share of the Pill Hall’s profits.

From different perspectives, the same thing could have different interpretations.

In any case, everyone who bought the Four Symbols Tripod felt they got a good deal.

There were myriad of transactions during the auction!

However, under the control of the experienced Foundation Establishment Cultivator Luo Tianhong, everything went smoothly without making anyone feel overwhelmed.

The auction’s fourth stage had ended.

Now at last, it was the turn of the host, the Yu Ding Sword Sect.

The first item they put up for auction instantly pushed the auction’s fervor to a climax.

”Five Foundation Establishment Pills, auctioned separately.”

”The first one, starting price: one thousand Spirit Stones. Friends who intend to go through Foundation Establishment, the bidding starts now!”

The starting price was only one thousand Spirit Stones?

So low?

With that, everyone’s breathing quickened for a moment.

Even Luo Chen was tempted, as he also had one thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones on him.

Hehe, it was time for Dan Chenzi to make his move.

”One thousand and one!”

”One thousand and two!”

”One thousand and four!”

”Two thousand!”

”Three thousand!”

”I bid five thousand Spirit Stones!”

Hearing the ever-increasing prices, Luo Chen quickly shut his mouth.

Next to him, Mi Shuhua gave a slight smile, ”A low starting price is quite normal because the Foundation Establishment Pill is always in high demand. It is just the auctioneer’s tactic to raise the atmosphere even higher.”

Sikong Shoujia, who had also joined the bidding, heard this and stopped his futile effort, feeling defeated.

Actually, he really wanted to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for his son, Sikong Yuanhong.

In this way, maybe he wouldn’t have to have his son marry into the Mi Family.

However, the price was truly discouraging.

Luo Chen murmured a few words, then out of curiosity asked Mi Shuhua.

”Gang Leader, in the end, the Foundation Establishment Pill is just a Second Order pill. One or two thousand per pill is already unreasonable. Given its specialty, I can understand three or four thousand.”

”But now, the price has almost reached six thousand Spirit Stones per pill. Isn’t this over-inflation?”

Mi Shuhua laughed helplessly, ”You’re asking me? Why don’t you go ask those rogue cultivators who are bidding? Ask them if they want to give up the potentially one and only chance to reach Foundation Establishment in their life?”

Luo Chen sighed.

Indeed, if he had enough wealth, he probably wouldn’t miss this opportunity either.

But after thinking about it carefully, given his aptitude, would one Foundation Establishment Pill really allow him to establish his foundation?

It was said that many cultivators with exceptional talent still had a high chance of failing even after taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.

So, he would have even less of a chance.

Given this thought, Luo Chen felt that his previously clear path to cultivation had become vague once more.

When that Foundation Establishment Pill was finally bought by a famous rogue cultivator from The Great River District for six thousand and eight hundred Spirit Stones,

The cultivators’ bidding enthusiasm decreased slightly.

But as the second pill was brought up for auction, their passion was ignited again.

However, this time, after trying to bid twice, they quickly stopped, scared out of their wits.

Because this time, their competitors weren’t lone rogue cultivators, but the prestigious Foundation Establishment cultivators sitting in the boxes!

”Two thousand and five hundred Lower Grade Spirit Stones!”

”Will anyone else bid?”

”Two thousand and five hundred for the first time, second time, third time, sold!”

”Congratulations to the friend in box number twelve for winning this Foundation Establishment Pill.”

Box number twelve was where the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Immortal Cultivation Clan Nangong resided.

The three following Foundation Establishment Pills also fell into the hands of the Duan Family, Li Family, and Great Lake Gang’s Wang Haichao, one after the other.

Moreover, each Foundation Establishment Pill was sold around two thousand and five hundred Spirit Stones, basically the price of one Ascendant Grade Magic Tool.
