My Cultivation Was Wasted at the Beginning, and My Side Effects Were Transferred

40: Qianyue City, AuctionLu Family Head, most of the items on your list, our Four Symbols Business Association can prepare for you within 5 days.

However, there are three types of elixirs that will likely need to be transferred from other places, so they cannot be delivered for a while.

Left Zimu said directly to Lu Fengming after glancing at the list.

Hearing Left Zimu’s words, Lu Fengming couldn’t help but frown.

These three elixirs were the three types with the fewest side effects and the strongest energy.

Lu Fengming didn’t need many, just a thousand pills of each type.

With this batch of elixirs, Lu Fengming was confident.

His realm would see a significant improvement.

But now…

Out of stock!

The other party actually told him they were out of stock.

Lu Fengming naturally didn’t know that these elixirs not only greatly helped him but also greatly helped other cultivators.

Because of their minimal side effects, they were deeply loved by cultivators, and naturally, they were in short supply.

”But…” Before Lu Fengming could say more, Left Zimu continued, ”Lu Family Head, to be frank, in ten days, our Four Symbols Business Association will hold a grand auction in Qianyue City. You can go there first; I’m sure you’ll find something satisfactory.”

These words naturally stirred Lu Fengming’s heart.

Qianyue City is located at the border between Yun Tian Sect and Qiancheng Sect, surrounded by countless gang forces and sects.

Because of its extremely strategic location, abundant spiritual energy, rich resources, and the prevalence of many natural treasures and numerous monstrous beasts, it has been a place of military importance since ancient times.

These sect forces had put in countless efforts to contend for Qianyue City.

They were also unwilling to see Qianyue City fall into the hands of other forces.

Many forces, despite paying a heavy price, ultimately only ended up with mutual destruction.

A thousand years ago, several major forces signed a truce agreement, designating Tianyue City as an independent force outside all other forces, allowing various forces to develop within it.

This also led to countless forces flocking into Tianyue City, creating its current prosperity.

The Four Symbols Business Association held an auction in Tianyue City to attract more powerful individuals to participate.

Presumably, at the auction, there would be many rare treasures, as well as uncommon elixirs and cultivation techniques.

After some thought, Lu Fengming accepted Left Zimu’s invitation.

Seeing this, Left Zimu was naturally overjoyed and hastily ordered his subordinates to make arrangements.

It must be said that Left Zimu’s efficiency was extremely high.

Early the next morning, he personally delivered the auction invitation to Lu Fengming.

And also delivered the elixirs Lu Fengming had previously requested.

Although Left Zimu said it would take 5 days to prepare those elixirs.

However, relying on the Four Symbols Business Association’s highly efficient operating methods.

In just one day, the elixirs were gathered.

Except for the three most important elixirs that Left Zimu mentioned were not yet gathered.

The rest of the elixirs had already fallen into Lu Fengming’s hands.

Aside from the cost of purchasing elixirs, Lu Fengming selling a ring of items to Left Zimu also earned him three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Coupled with the wealth Lu Fengming had plundered from the Lu Family and the Tianyan Dynasty imperial treasury, it was an astonishing sum.

The auction would be held nine days later, and Lu Fengming was not in a hurry.

During this time, he had been cultivating in seclusion in a secret chamber.

Unfortunately, after consuming a large handful of elixirs, to the point where Lu Fengming felt like vomiting, he still couldn’t break through his realm further.

”System, show me the side effect transfer panel.”

”Side Effect Transfer Target Yunxiao HP: 35%.”

There was still 35% HP.

It must be said that this Spirit Division Stage cultivator was much stronger than those Nascent Soul cultivators.

Furthermore, the side effects of the elixirs Lu Fengming consumed were not as significant as before.

It didn’t cause Yunxiao much suffering.

…

Nine days later.

Qianyue City.

Qianyue City was extremely vast, covering millions of square miles, far surpassing the imperial capital of the Tianyan Dynasty.

The prosperity of Qianyue City was due to its unique geographical location, possessing extremely abundant spiritual energy and a large number of natural treasures.

Many cultivators used Qianyue City as a transit point.

Its thriving commerce naturally attracted a large number of cultivators.

Such a virtuous cycle would only lead to Qianyue City becoming even more prosperous.

Lu Fengming did not linger but went straight to the auction site.

After presenting his invitation, an elderly, white-haired elder with restrained aura immediately came to greet him personally.

This person was a well-known figure in the Four Symbols Business Association, the Fifth Elder Fang Yuan, a strong practitioner at the Spirit Division Third Stage.

”Presumably, this is Lu Family Head. I am Fang Yuan, the Fifth Elder of the Four Symbols Business Association.”

Fang Yuan’s face was full of smiles as he looked at Lu Fengming with a chuckle.

Lu Fengming also nodded, smiling faintly, ”So it’s Elder Fang. I am Lu Fengming.”

”Please follow me, Lu Family Head.”

Under Fang Yuan’s guidance, Lu Fengming quickly arrived at a secret room.

Fang Yuan was very enthusiastic, conversing with Lu Fengming for a long time.

The more he looked at Lu Fengming, the more obvious the doubt and shock on his face became.

Left Zimu was merely a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, so he naturally couldn’t discern Lu Fengming’s cultivation.

But as a strong practitioner at the Spirit Division Third Stage, Fang Yuan had a certain grasp of Lu Fengming’s realm.

It was not a simple breakthrough to Spirit Division.

Lu Fengming was already a strong practitioner at the Spirit Division Second Stage.

What did it mean for a cultivator in his twenties to already be at the Spirit Division Second Stage?

He, Fang Yuan, had spent eighteen hundred years to break through to the Spirit Division Stage.

This young man was either a prodigy or possessed an immense fortuitous encounter.

Of course, for Fang Yuan, no matter what Lu Fengming possessed.

If he could befriend him, it would be all good for Fang Yuan and no harm.

…………

As Fang Yuan left, Lu Fengming calmly sat in the VIP room, waiting patiently.

After an unknown period, the auction finally officially began.

A woman in a red palace dress, with exquisite beauty, skin like congealed fat, and delicate features, stepped onto the stage with small steps.

”My name is Xiaoyue, and I am the host of this auction.”

”Thank you all for coming from various places to our auction…”

Xiaoyue chattered on, saying a lot of polite words.

Her voice was melodious and pleasant, like an oriole, making people listen without any aversion.

Many cultivators were even drawn in by her voice, immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

”Thank you all for your support of this auction. Xiaoyue thanks all guests again here.”

After saying these words, Xiaoyue bowed to the stage below.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the auction finally entered its main theme.

Xiaoyue was seen holding a round tray, carefully placing it on the display cabinet in the center of the stage.

”Everyone, this auction item is the first item of our Four Symbols Business Association, named the Eight Treasures Glazed Necklace.”

Xiaoyue pointed at the exquisitely crafted glazed necklace in front of her, introducing it in detail, ”This glazed necklace was cast by our Four Symbols Business Association at great expense. Its craftsmanship is exquisite and breathtaking.”

”Of course, that’s not the main point. The main point is that during the production process, we added 8 defensive magical artifacts to this glazed necklace, hence it is called the Eight Treasures Glazed Necklace.”

”In addition, we invited two Spirit Division Stage mighty figures to arrange many defensive formations on the necklace.”

”It can withstand a full-power strike from a Nascent Soul Ninth Stage strong practitioner.”

Xiaoyue gave a detailed introduction.

This had already moved many cultivators.

Not to mention that women have an irresistible pull towards beautiful things.

Even cultivators are no exception.

Many female cultivators present naturally felt their hearts stir upon seeing this glazed necklace.

Aside from its beauty, the selling point of the glazed necklace was the so-called defensive grand formation.

To be able to withstand a full-power strike from a Yuanying Ninth Level cultivator, what did that represent?
