Magic treasure mirror

Chapter 36 [A favor must be repaid, a classic place] (please vote for recommendation)

Spirit wine is a drink made from spiritual fruits and medicinal materials. It is not as effective as elixirs and is worse than ordinary spiritual tea, but it is very expensive.

It's too wasteful to use as an auxiliary to practice, it's just for entertainment.

People who cultivate immortality have a special physique and drink ordinary alcohol without being drunk.

This spiritual wine cannot be relieved by spiritual energy, so even immortals can get drunk. People who cultivate immortals also have sorrows. One drunkenness can relieve thousands of sorrows, and they can live in confusion.

Of course, there are some special ways of cultivating Taoism that need to be practiced with alcohol, but after all, they are heresy and cannot be accessed by ordinary people.

Hou Zhao succeeded in building the foundation. He was really happy, not only because of his improvement in cultivation, but also because he had greater hope of avenging Qin'er and finding out the truth.

He drank a lot today and was very drunk.

Lu Chengtong is very restrained. He knows that he must not let down his guard. His secret is too big, big enough for the two factions of Nascent Soul Ancestors to hunt him down.

You can never really relax at any time.

After entering the middle stage of Qi Refining Realm, monks can stop sleeping and meditate instead of sleeping to restore their energy.

Since then, Lu Chengtong has not fallen asleep.

People in sleep are defenseless, especially those monks who use strange methods.

After paying the spirit stone, Lu Chengtong helped Hou Zhao stay at the inn nearby without returning to the sect.

The next day, at noon, Hou Zhao woke up and discovered his situation. He felt very ashamed when he learned that Lu Chengtong paid the bill yesterday.

I promised to treat him, but he got drunk and asked Brother Cheng to take care of me and asked him to pay. I really feel bad.

He wanted to make compensation, but Lu Chengtong repeatedly shied away, and finally said:
  "This time I took advantage of Brother Cheng. If I have the chance, I will repay Brother Cheng. You must not shirk it, otherwise, you will not want to recognize me as your friend!"

Seeing him like this, Lu Chengtong couldn't refuse anymore.

Not to mention that the revenge plan requires him to continue to keep in touch with Hou Zhao, just looking at Hou Zhao as a person, he is worthy of deep friendship.

People who cultivate immortality have seen too much life and death, and have a relatively indifferent view of worldly things. Therefore, they are indifferent and have few friends who truly know each other.

It is indeed rare to find a person as sincere and sincere as Hou Zhao.

Lu Chengtong was burdened with a blood feud and had important secrets. He did not dare to communicate with others, which caused many consequences.

Hou Zhao unknowingly became his only friend.

Seeing that Lu Chengtong agreed, Hou Zhao secretly decided to find an opportunity to give Brother Cheng a reward. He needed to investigate Qin'er's matter, and there was no telling when something unexpected would happen. He couldn't let Brother Cheng help him so much in vain.

A favor must be repaid, this is his rule!
  After helping Hou Zhao pass the level of foundation building, Lu Chengtong had no other important things to do and could continue to practice with peace of mind.

When you are weak, the most important thing is to keep getting stronger.

Hou Zhao's breakthrough also inspired Lu Chengtong to a certain extent.

He felt that he should be more radical in terms of cultivation, or in other words, foundation building.

He possesses the foundation-building soul and the magical power of [Embryonic Transformation], coupled with a superior foundation-building pill, the probability of direct foundation-building success is still very high.

Even if it fails, with the magical power of [Fetal Transformation], it can still make up for the damage, and there is no fear of damage to the foundation.

If you try a few more times, you can always succeed.

Lu Chengtong decided to start making breakthroughs immediately after his cultivation reached the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm.

In the blink of an eye, ten months had passed since Hou Zhao established the foundation. On this day, Hou Zhao suddenly came over.

"Brother Cheng, there will be an auction in Dingyu Pavilion tomorrow. You come with me and I will buy you a lot in return for helping me last time."

Lu Chengtong had no choice but to follow him to the market.

In a place like an auction, the things sold must not be cheap.

However, it won't be very high-end. This Dingyu Pavilion is affiliated to the Zi Yao Immortal Sect, and the items for auction are all leftovers selected by the Immortal Sect.

That's not to say that it doesn't have much value, it can only be said that selling it directly in the sect is not as profitable as auctioning it.

Some things are placed in the store, and you don’t know when you will meet a customer who wants to buy them. The value of some things becomes lower after being stored for a long time.

Even if the auction fails, it will be an extra exposure, and it will be more likely to be sold later.

Hou Zhao has been preparing for the auction for a long time.

After that day, he was looking for an opportunity to repay Lu Chengtong.

After accidentally hearing about the auction, he thought it was a good way to prepare a sufficient number of spiritual stones. When the time came, he could buy whatever Brother Cheng liked.

There are two types of auctions in Dingyu Pavilion, one is the ‘monthly auction’ and the other is the ‘annual auction’.

As the name suggests, the former happens once a month and the latter happens once a year.

The annual auction will target monks at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and occasionally there will be treasures that are also useful for Golden Core Realm monks; the monthly auction will target monks at the Qi Refining Realm, and occasionally there will be treasures that are useful for monks at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Naturally, they were attending the monthly auction.

At an auction of this level, no matter how high the price is, it will not be too outrageous. Hou Zhao is confident that he can afford it.

He has been accumulating spiritual stones for the past ten months just for today.

After repaying Lu Chengtong's friendship, he would devote himself to cultivation again and start investigating Lu Chengqin's disappearance. He would definitely be estranged from Lu Chengtong. He just wanted to leave no regrets.

Try your best and leave no regrets.

During the monthly auction, not many Foundation Establishment monks came, and they even got a private box.

The two sat down and Hou Zhao said proudly:

"Brother Cheng, if you like anything today, just ask and I will buy it for you!"

Seeing him like this, Lu Chengtong also laughed and was in a good mood.

"If Brother Hou says that, then I won't be polite."

Hou Zhao laughed and said:

"Don't be polite to me! The spiritual stones have been prepared for you."

Having said that, Lu Chengtong actually didn't have much expectations for this auction.

He has a 'treasure mirror' and supernatural powers on his body. What kind of things can get into his eyes?
  Ordinary gadgets are of little use to him. If it were a treasure, he wouldn't dare to ask for it.

After all, if someone covets you because of the so-called 'treasure', and you leak the news that you have a treasure mirror or magical power, it will be a small gain but a big gain.

But come on, in order to fulfill Hou Zhao's goodwill, he had to pick something.

The auction started, and the first item was a medium-grade magic weapon.

Magical weapons are very precious. The average price of a low-grade magic weapon is two hundred spirit stones, and the average price of a medium-grade magic weapon is one thousand five hundred spirit stones. One magic weapon is enough to wipe out all the savings of a perfect monk in the Qi Refining Realm.

The quality of this medium-grade magic weapon is considered poor, but the base price is five hundred spirit stones, which is not something ordinary monks can afford.

For the first lot, the auction will not let it go unsold and no one cares about it, but it will also be bought by the 'entrustee' arranged in advance, which is a good start.

The later auction items are normal, with a value of more than a hundred spirit stones or dozens of spirit stones. Some monks in the middle and late stages of the Qi Refining Realm can afford it with gritted teeth.

However, it was natural that Lu Chengtong could not catch his eye.

Until the finale comes along.
