Chapter 38: Water to Repel Evil Spirits (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Investment)

Sun Xunmu did not respond to Sun Mingwang's curiosity. His big hands gently stroked the storage bag, and veins on it kept popping out.

The second finale treasure was a second-level medium-grade broken gold talisman, which was equivalent to a full-strength attack from a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator. It was sold for 1,100 spirit stones.

The third finale treasure came from the unhatched young eggs of the second-level medium-grade demon beast, the human-faced spider. It has great potential and can be successfully promoted to the second level if resources are invested.

The lifespan of a second-level spirit beast can reach about 500 years, far exceeding the lifespan of a normal foundation-building cultivator. It can be used as a family guardian spirit beast.

In the future, when the family encounters changes and is on the decline, it can provide sufficient protection for the family inheritance, which is a foundation that many small and medium-sized families value very much.

Unfortunately, the difficulty of cultivating spirit beasts is not small. The resources required are at least twice that of cultivators of the same level. At present, the Sun family has no family guardian spirit beasts.

The competition for this young human-faced spider egg was quite fierce. It was sold at a high price of 2,150 spiritual stones. Sun Xunmu also tried to compete for it, but he had to give up in the end because the price was too high.

The annual income of the entire Sun family is only about 10,000 spiritual stones. After deducting all the consumption, the annual surplus is about 2,000 spiritual stones. This part of the spiritual stones is used for family accumulation.

"The fourth finale treasure is a first-grade top-grade autumn pear fruit seedling. It only takes 50 years of careful cultivation to mature and bear fruit. This is also the first time that the family sells autumn pear fruit seedlings to the outside world. The starting price is 1,100 spiritual stones." Geng Ningzhu took out a vibrant seedling about an inch long.

Autumn pear fruit is a spiritual fruit tree unique to the Geng family within the scope of Zhongshan and Pingyang counties. It can earn a lot of spiritual stones every year. With the help of the autumn pear fruit, the family's influence is also increasing.

It can be said that the autumn pear fruit has almost become the representative of the Geng family and an endless cornucopia. It is usually not sold to the outside world.

"Fairy Geng, is there any defect in this seedling?" an old monk asked.

"Fellow Taoists, please feel free to bid. This autumn pear fruit seedling has no defect at all. As long as it is taken care of by a qualified spiritual planter, it will definitely survive," Geng Ningzhu assured confidently.

"One thousand two hundred spiritual stones" Sun Xunmu couldn't wait to make the first offer. From the moment the autumn pear fruit seedling appeared, a ray of light appeared in his eyes.

Although the autumn pear fruit tree is just a seedling and needs fifty years of careful care before it can bloom and bear fruit, it is a treasure that can truly enhance the family's heritage.

The predecessors planted the trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. If it weren't for the ancestors of the family fighting in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the Sun family would not have a second-level middle-grade spiritual vein, and the same is true for the autumn pear fruit tree.

"One thousand two hundred and fifty spiritual stones" It is obvious that Sun Xunmu is not the only one who realizes the value of the seedling, and the competition is also quite fierce.

For most small and medium-sized families, the foundation is accumulated bit by bit. Only with the joint efforts of successive generations of cultivators can qualitative changes and leaps be achieved.

"One thousand four hundred spirit stones" Sun Xunmu's offer was not made many times, but it was very firm.

At this auction, the Sun family only made one bid, and it was to buy a set of first-grade superior magic tools, the Purple Moon Knife, for Sun Xunmu.

Throughout the entire auction, this autumn pear fruit tree seedling was one of the few spiritual objects that could directly improve the family's foundation.

And for most families that already have a stable first-grade superior spiritual fruit tree, this seedling is more or less useless, and the competition will not be too fierce.

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones" A cultivator sitting in the front row with three layers of fat all over his body was also unwilling to give up easily.

"One thousand eight hundred spirit stones" Sun Xunmu directly raised the offer by a full three hundred spirit stones.

The Qiuli Fruit Spiritual Tree is good, but what is auctioned is only a seedling after all, which is a real sky-high price.

Finally, with the efforts of Sun Xunmu, the Qiuli Fruit seedling was bought by the Sun family for 2,120 spiritual stones.

At this time, whether it was Sun Mingzeng or Sun Mingsheng and Sun Mingwang, they were already stunned and unbelievable.

The patriarch, who has always been frugal in the family, was completely a different and bold stranger at the auction.

"All the items at the auction are genuine, but each item is more expensive than the one in the market. Why are these strange monks fighting so fiercely?" Sun Mingwang whispered, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Tenth brother, the treasures that appeared at the auction were prepared in advance according to the preferences of the monks who came to participate. Each one is a fine product, so the price is naturally more expensive," Sun Mingsheng whispered on the side.

With the relatively abundant cultivation resources provided by his parents, Sun Mingwang was promoted to the seventh level of Qi training, but his essence was still a flower in a greenhouse without any experience.

"That makes sense, that makes sense, I will definitely hold an auction of this scale for the family in the future." Sun Mingwang's eyes were full of anticipation.

"The last treasure is three bottles of second-level inferior evil-removing water, which assists in foundation building and can increase the success rate of foundation building by 10%. They are auctioned separately, with a starting price of 1,800 spiritual stones." Geng Ningzhu carefully took out three jade bottles and explained solemnly.

Evil-removing water, another spiritual object that assists in foundation building, contains surging spiritual power and a trace of evil spirit, which can assist in the liquefaction of mana in the dantian at critical moments.

However, compared with the foundation-building pill, the success rate is lower, and once it is refined, the spiritual power contained in it will explode in the first time, which is a shock to the cultivator. Once it cannot bear it, the dantian is likely to be broken on the spot.

Using evil-removing water to build a foundation can be said to be a true failure or death, and there is no way out. However, for most cultivators, this is still an option. After all, the foundation-building pill is too rare and most of them are controlled by the five major sects.

For the big and small families under the major sects, in addition to expensive spiritual stones, they also need to complete an extremely dangerous task for the sect in exchange for the foundation-building pill, which can only be completed with the full support of the family elders.

Relatively speaking, the number of evil-removing waters in the cultivation world is not large. If you have good luck, you will see them at some large auctions, and they are naturally more popular.

"Two thousand three hundred spiritual stones, a bottle of evil-removing water" just fell, and the first cultivator who bid could not wait to directly increase the price by a full five hundred, as if he was ready to win with this strategy.

"Three thousand spiritual stones"

"Four thousand five hundred spiritual stones"

The cultivators present seemed to be in a frenzy. From the moment the evil-removing water appeared, the price was crazy.

For all the cultivators present, any spiritual object that is beneficial to foundation building is worth fighting for at all costs. Even if they don't use it, it is also a kind of accumulation for the family.
