Chapter 81 Grand Auction
The clouds and mist rolled, palaces appeared in clusters, and the Heavenly Demon Palace was extremely bustling.

On the day of the special auction, Li Zhi followed the people from Daoyi Holy Land to Tianyao Treasure Palace.

Standing side by side with the Taoist girl, people would mistakenly think that he was also a disciple of Daoyi Holy Land.

Moreover, Li Zhi looked ordinary, as if he was a young disciple who followed his elders out to see the world. No one doubted his identity or paid attention to his existence.

There are many similar disciples, and almost every powerful person is followed by a few young people.

In addition to the powerful people from all sides, there are also a large number of ordinary cultivators, and it seems that everyone comes to watch the fun.

Even if you can't afford it, you still have to enjoy it.

Under the guidance of a large number of female fairies sent by Tianyao Baoque, everyone entered the central Tianque used to hold the grand auction in an orderly manner.

Unlike the side hall used for receiving guests that Li Zhi had visited before, the central palace of Tianyao Baoque was very large in scale. The palace was built extremely luxuriously, shining with purple light all over and flowing with dreamy colors, as if a huge treasure mountain stood there.

Yao Yuekong and two strange big demons stood in front of the sky, welcoming guests from all directions.

The two monsters were so powerful that they looked like ferocious beasts ready to strike, which was very intimidating.

The powerful people from all sides who passed by would stop and greet them. It was obvious that they were all powerful people from the Heavenly Demon Palace, and they were extremely powerful.

When the group from Daoyi Holy Land was about to enter, Yao Yuekong seemed not to recognize Li Zhi. After merely greeting them, he asked the female fairy to lead them to the VIP box specially prepared for Daoyi Holy Land.

The old Taoist priest who brought the Taoist girl and Li Zhi here to broaden their horizons did not have a high level of cultivation. He had not reached the level of the second-level immortal, but was only half a step away from the first-level immortal.

At this moment, Li Zhi was not wearing the jade pendant to ward off disaster, and was walking among the crowd with his true face.

It’s just that he is too “ordinary”, so ordinary that people will subconsciously ignore his existence.

This is a temperament of returning to nature, and it is the result of Li Zhi's cultivation for several months in the San Sheng Temple in Daoyi Shifang.

After discussing Taoism with the Taoists from Daoyi Holy Land, the Art of Changsheng Locking Body reached a higher level and reached the level of returning to the truth.

Li Zhi's wheel sea looks the same as that of an ordinary person, without any characteristics of the special bitter sea of ​​an immortal body.

This level of locking effect is actually one step further than completely isolating the internal and external auras. It locks the original aura within an ordinary door, which is almost a milestone.

It also indicates that Li Zhi's "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique" has finally been mastered.

The risk of leakage of the original aura of the immortal body of longevity has been greatly reduced. Even if the second immortal can use his divine sense to observe his sea of ​​suffering, he will not discover that he possesses a special body.

Yao Yuekong, who met Li Zhang, did not associate him with the ruthless Taoist priest.

At the same time, the ruthless Taoist who was transformed from the deity of Li Zhi's Taoist palace was actually also mingling among ordinary cultivators.

He wanted to see whether Tian Yao Palace would abide by the transaction rules and hang the auction proceeds on the bell under the eaves.

After entering the Central Sky Palace, Li Zhi saw many people he knew, and even saw the figures of Yao Chi disciples.

Powerful people from the Ji family and the Jiang family also appeared at the scene.

On the contrary, people from the Five Elements Palace, the Illusion Palace and the Wanjie Sect did not appear at the auction.

Li Zhi couldn't help but wonder, "Did they give in?"

However, he didn't know that the stone tablet he left behind directly attracted the attention of the Holy Land of Yao Chi, and the Queen Mother of Yao Chi even left the Holy Land of Yao Chi because of it.

The entire Yao Chi Holy Land was in a state of emergency.

In a word, Li Zhi's joke was a bit too much.

When Li Zhi saw the figure of the Holy Maiden of Yao Chi, he immediately felt that the trip was worthwhile.

He now urgently needs the holy spring water to dilute the "Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood" for transformation.

Moreover, Li Zhi believed that the Holy Land of Yao Chi also had the means to transform people completely.

He wanted to use the "Seven-Colored Phoenix Blood" to exchange with the Holy Land of Yao Chi for a chance to be reborn.

By chance, Li Zhi had prepared five opportunities for a complete transformation, and he had completed four of them in the Lunhai Secret Realm.

There is only one more time left to bathe in the colorful phoenix blood for transformation.

However, after using the Phoenix's Nirvana Blood to transform himself, he didn't know how to transform himself for the sixth time.

The Holy Land of Yao Chi is undoubtedly a good trading partner.

The Yao Chi Holy Maidens of all generations were goddesses with ethereal aura. It should not only be due to their skills, but must be related to the unique foundation-building method of the Yao Chi Holy Land.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi thought of Daoyi Holy Land again.

As a Taoist holy land, they should also have similar means to help geniuses transform themselves, right?

Then, Li Zhi shifted his attention to the Taoist girl who was observing the flow of people outside the box.

The little Taoist nun Yuchen had a very sharp sense of perception. She seemed to sense Li Zhi's greedy gaze and immediately turned back to look at him and asked, "Changshou, do you want to participate in the auction too?"

The Taoist girl seemed to have misunderstood Li Zhi, thinking that Li Zhi wanted to borrow the source from her, and then said: "I only have two sources on me, which I don't think is enough to participate in the auction of treasures today. A powerful magical instrument that interweaves Taoism and Principle requires at least 100,000 kilograms of source. I guess the sources I have can only buy some low-level materials."

Li Zhi quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Yuchen, you misunderstood. I have no intention of participating in the auction. I followed you two here mainly to broaden my horizons. Actually, I have something I want to verify with you."

The Taoist girl blinked her lively eyes and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Li Zhi asked: "Do you think that a holy land has any special means to transform people completely?"

The Taoist girl said, "Yes, there are, but they won't be used easily. Among the disciples of the Holy Land, only those with extraordinary talents will be arranged to transform."

The old Taoist priest who had been silent all this time spoke up at this moment: "Young friend Changshou, if you are willing to join our Daoyi Holy Land, I can make the decision and ask the Holy Lord to open the Transcendental Pool for you so that you can be reborn and your bones can be greatly strengthened. With your comprehension and the help of the Transcendental Pool, your bones will definitely become extraordinary and you can join the ranks of the world's geniuses. After completing the Transcendental, your future achievements may even surpass Yu Chen."

Li Zhi asked, "I appreciate the good intention of the Taoist priest, but I already have a master and cannot switch to another sect. But can I pay to borrow the Transformation Pool of your holy land to transform?"

The old Taoist smiled and said, "My longevity friend, do you know how much energy it costs to allow a cultivator to undergo a complete transformation?"

Li Zhi had not studied this question before, so he asked, "A lot?"

The old Taoist said, "Take Junior-Martial-Sister Yuchen as an example. The things she consumed in her transformation that year were worth hundreds of thousands of kilograms of source. Moreover, she has undergone this transformation twice, and in total, she has spent materials worth millions of kilograms of source."

Only then did Li Zhi realize that it would cost such a huge price for the holy land to train a qualified successor.

But thinking back on it, it makes sense.

Before this, except for the Nirvana transformation in the other shore realm, the raw materials for his other three transformations were all priceless treasures.

Whether it is the ginseng fruit, the blood of the Green Emperor, or the divine water of starlight, they are all things that cannot be measured by source.

Moreover, in order to make the nirvana of the other shore realm more thorough, Li Zhi used the divine source as the material for the essence of different life forms. It took him almost a hundred kilograms of divine source to complete the transformation to the other shore level.

Not to mention that he was also nourished by the Coffin of Life during his transformation.

The means that can transform a cultivator completely are indeed expensive.

Li Zhi showed a shocked expression, then shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, it's really too expensive."

The Taoist girl said, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, your current cultivation level is in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm. Although you have passed the best period for foundation building, it is still not too late for you to undergo transformation, which will be very helpful for your future cultivation."

The young Taoist priest underwent two transformations, one before she opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and one after she cultivated the Fountain of Life.

Two rebirths, plus nirvana at the other side level, can be considered three transformations.

This qualified her to be one of the top masters, and her qualifications were no less than those of the saints or saintesses from other holy places.

In fact, the training of core successors in most holy places and ancient families is similar.

They will undergo a transformation when they begin to practice but have not yet opened up the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and a second transformation at the level of the Fountain of Life.

Holy places or ancient families with the conditions will undergo the third transformation after their disciples enter the secret realm of the Taoist Palace.

However, the raw materials that can transform a person are extremely scarce, so the effects of their transformation are often worse each time.

After three times, ordinary transformation methods had almost no effect on them.

Of course, the holy medicine in the ancient forbidden area is the ideal raw material for transformation, but it is a pity that they have no chance to obtain it.

Therefore, before obtaining the amazing opportunity, three transformations were already the limit that the world's geniuses could achieve. Even the Ji family's God King Body was the same.

It is absolutely impossible for someone to undergo four complete transformations in the Lunhai Secret Realm like Li Zhi and Ye Fan did.

Afterwards, after listening to the young Taoist and the old Taoist's introduction of the items needed for transformation, Li Zhi gave up.

The Transcendental Pool in Daoyi Holy Land might not be effective for him.

The core is the combined use of elixirs and special divine sources to allow cultivators to be reborn.

But is there any elixir that can compare to the fruit of the elixir of immortality and the blood of the Green Emperor?
Li Zhi had some expectations for Yao Chi's transformation method. After all, a holy spirit that was about to reach perfection was cultivated within Yao Chi.

If the blood of the Holy Spirit could be used for transformation, the effect would be no worse than the fruit of the elixir of immortality and the blood of the Green Emperor.

I just don't know whether Yao Chi uses that method.

As guests from all walks of life were about to arrive, the auction gradually entered the warm-up stage.

Tian Yao Bao Que first sent out a dance troupe composed of thirty-six beautiful female fairies to present a wonderful dance performance for everyone.

Looking at those charming female fairies with graceful figures and gauze clothes, the Taoist girl did not feel the slightest bit disgusted. Instead, she watched them with great interest.

He even asked Li Zhi to comment on which female fairy danced the best from time to time.

Li Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Daoist Yuchen, you are a Taoist. Is it inappropriate to appreciate the dancing of the female fairies like this?"

The young Taoist nun Yuchen looked at Li Zhi with disdain and said, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, I didn't expect that you have such dirty thoughts at such a young age. When you see a beautiful woman, you think of something obscene. Taoists like me are struggling to survive in the mortal world. We should experience the various aspects of the mortal world so that we will not be disturbed by it. If you have never even seen it, how can you transcend it?"

Li Zhi was speechless for a moment. He was actually taught a lesson by the Taoist girl.

Afterwards, they returned to the VIP box and took their seats.

The young Taoist nun Yuchen asked again, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, how did you know that the nine-aperture stone man contained immortal gold?"

Li Zhi said: "Feeling. Pure feeling."

The young Taoist nun Yuchen said, "Then why didn't I feel it? Did you cultivate the divine pupil that can see through stone skin?"

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at her and said, "I don't know pupil skills. If I really had the ability to see through stone skin, I would have been rich by now. I wouldn't be so poor now."

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen said, "Since you already know that the Nine-Aperture Stone Man contains immortal gold, why don't you buy it? Previously, Tianyao Baoque auctioned a piece of immortal gold the size of a fingernail and it was sold at a sky-high price."

Li Zhi said: "The Nine-Aperture Stone Man is protected by heaven and earth. Killing it is unlucky and will reduce my good deeds. It is not worth it to reduce my good deeds for a piece of immortal gold of unknown size. Besides, the price you are asking is too high. I can't afford it."

Little Taoist nun Yuchen smiled and said, "I'm afraid that the real reason is that I can't afford it. I have to thank you very much. You have confirmed that there is fairy gold in the stone. Now the elder has raised its price by 50%."

Li Zhi asked: "Why don't you untie the nine-hole stone man yourself? Don't you like fairy gold?"

Little Taoist Nun Yuchen said, "Everyone likes immortal gold, but one thing is for sure. Our Daoyi Holy Land is a Taoist holy land, and all the disciples are monks. Monks have the virtue of loving life. The Nine-Aperture Stone Man has already suffered a disaster, and we cannot add fuel to the fire and cut off its last bit of life. It is not worth it to ruin one's own practice for a mere piece of immortal gold."

Li Zhi nodded and said, "You did the right thing. If you are not lucky enough, you will be envied by the gods if you kill a holy spirit."

The young Taoist nun Yuchen asked, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, you seem to know a lot about Holy Spirits. Can you tell me what is so special about Holy Spirits and why they breed Immortal Gold in their bodies?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

The Taoist girl widened her eyes and said, "You are like this again."

Li Zhi said, "It is true that the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. Knowing too much will not benefit your practice. You should practice hard. When you become a saint, you will be qualified to know these things."

Just when the Taoist girl was about to say something,
"Dang" a melodious bell rang, and the auction hall became quiet in an instant.

The special auction officially begins.

Li Zhi looked at Old Lu who walked onto the auction stage with great anticipation.

The amount of this transaction is related to his income.

Old Lu, accompanied by two rows of maids carrying the items for auction, walked to the dragon-shaped auction table carved from yellow diamonds and announced the start of the auction.

First of all, there are some refining materials that are not of high value.

Each material was only worth a few hundred to a thousand kilograms, and almost all of them were bought by the monks sitting in the ordinary audience seats.

Finally, after the appetizers were over, Old Lu began to auction off scriptures that could be used to cultivate to the realm of great power.

The disciples of small sects or independent cultivators of considerable status in the audience were completely excited.

The price of scriptures therefore continued to rise, and the final transaction price of almost every volume of scriptures was over 50,000 jin.

At this time, none of the powerful people in the VIP boxes made any bids, as if they did not appreciate the value of those scriptures.

When the auction of those scriptures was completed, Old Lu began to auction those powerful magic weapons that intertwined the Tao and the principle, and the powerful people in the box began to bid one after another.

Moreover, they were very generous, raising the price by tens of thousands.

After the auction of the King's Divine Weapon, the competition became fierce.

It often takes hundreds of thousands of kilograms of sources to complete a transaction.

Finally, when the incomplete holy weapons and saints' scriptures were put on the auction table, the auction house was completely detonated.

Li Zhi kept bidding.

The Taoist girl was a little surprised and asked, "Fellow Taoist Changshou, you don't have any source, so why are you bidding? Do you lack the cultivation method?"

Li Zhi said confidently, "It doesn't matter whether we get the photo or not, the important thing is to participate. When I mention this to others in the future, I will have something to talk about. Da Neng and I have bid the price."

His words seemed to be heard by the young monk in the next box.

As soon as the voice fell, a very young voice was heard from the next box, shouting: "I will offer 600,000 kilograms of source."

At this time, a broken bell-shaped holy vessel was being auctioned on the auction table. Although the bell wall was covered with cracks, the entire shape of the vessel was intact.

It seems that after being repaired, the power of the holy weapon can still be exerted.

But Li Zhi knew that repairing it was not an easy task. It was useless to just mend the cracks. He also had to connect the broken holy laws.

Sure enough, after the young man in the next box shouted the price, a powerful man immediately scolded him, "Little guy, do you have the source? How dare you bid so casually? Since you want this Five Thunder Bell so much, I'll give it to you."

The young man who was bidding the price was stunned. He began to stutter and said, "Senior, I...I..."

He didn't say what he wanted to do for a long time.

Elder Lu glanced at everyone in the auction hall and asked, "Six hundred thousand catties of source, is there anyone else bidding? Six hundred thousand catties for the first time, six hundred thousand catties for the second time, six hundred thousand catties for the third time, deal. Congratulations to Dayan Holy Land for obtaining this Five Thunder Bell."

It turned out that the person next door was a disciple of Dayan Holy Land. After receiving his grandfather's invitation, he came here to broaden his horizons.

There was a burst of laughter.

"Senior Brother Xiang, save me." The young man from Dayan Holy Land immediately asked for help from another young man in the box.

Senior Brother Xiang, on the other hand, gloated and said, "Junior Brother, as the beloved grandson of Grandmaster Li, 600,000 jin of energy should not be a problem for you."

After saying that, the young man surnamed Xiang left.

In the box of Daoyi Holy Land, the young Taoist priest said to Li Zhi: "How come Dayan Holy Land only produces fools? Didn't you see when you bid just now?"

However, Li Zhi didn't care at all whether the disciple could produce 600,000 jin of source or not, because Tianyao Baoque would let him produce it.

He was calculating how many kilograms of resources he would get after selling all these things.

Today, the total price has exceeded two million kilograms of pure source.

However, there are still three incomplete volumes of saints' scriptures and a incomplete holy vessel that have not been auctioned. I think they can be sold for a lot of money.

This time, Li Zhi can at least earn 3 million jin of pure source and a large number of rare elixirs.

After all, Li Zhi and Tianyao Baoque had discussed that they could pay with spiritual medicine.
