Chapter 50 Successfully Taken
[After entering the second level of Foundation Establishment, twenty-six drops of liquid mana slowly rotated within your dantian.]
The combined spiritual pressure they exuded was no weaker than that of an ordinary peak third level Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This is the benefit of cultivating top-tier techniques: the quality of magical power surpasses that of other techniques of the same level, and there are many other advantages as well.
When breaking through major bottlenecks, cultivators who practice top-tier techniques have a more solid foundation and a higher chance of success.
[Since you've broken through your cultivation level, you're in a good mood, so you had the two female cultivators, Chunhua and Qiuyue, serve you a bath.]
[The two maids were ultimately too frail; you were never truly satisfied.]
[A few days later, in the Immortal City, you purchased several high-grade magic artifacts: two defensive, two offensive, and one supportive.]
After nearly ten years of accumulation, as a guest elder of the Pill Hall, you have naturally amassed a large number of spirit stones.
Purchasing five high-quality ritual implements is not a difficult task for you.
If top-grade magical artifacts didn't require extensive repairs in the late Foundation Establishment stage to unleash their full power, you would have already planned to buy them.
In addition to the magical artifacts, you also purchased dozens of second-tier talismans.
Then they left the Immortal City and headed to Wushan Market.
[Besides intercepting the Dark Demon Eagle Egg, you have other plans for this trip to Wushan Market.]
[More than ten years later, the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm will open. Unlike the previous two simulations, this time you plan to prepare in advance and cultivate a force in Wushan Market for exploration after the secret realm opens.]
You won't personally enter the secret realm to explore, but you can train subordinates and send them in to explore.
In this simulation, you've not only set your sights on Ye Feng, but also on the numerous resources, treasures, and rare gems within the secret realm.
The Mountain and Sea Secret Realm was created and operated by the Mountain and Sea Sect, a Core Formation level power, hundreds of years ago. Even though it was extensively destroyed by True Person Blood Sea, it remains intact.
However, for Foundation Establishment cultivators, it remains an immense temptation.
After leaving Biyue Immortal City for a distance, you concealed your aura and secretly headed towards Wushan Market.
Upon arriving at Wushan Market, you disguised yourself as an old man in a straw raincoat and entered the market.
Disguising one's identity can largely avoid a lot of trouble.
[If we really encounter any danger, it's not too late to reveal my identity as a guest elder of the Pill Hall.]
Of course, you're only disguising your identity, not hiding your true strength; your Foundation Establishment stage aura is not concealed.
Upon entering Wushan Market, looking at the familiar shops and streets, you feel a surge of emotions.
With more than half a month to go before the auction, you've rented a cave dwelling and are settling in temporarily.
That evening, a beautiful female cultivator arrived at the door.
This beautiful female cultivator is named Ouyang Yun, a female cultivator from the Ouyang family.
Unlike Biyue Immortal City, every Foundation Establishment cultivator entering Wushan Market will be received by a special representative from the Ouyang family as a sign of their importance.
[Ouyang Yun is the female cultivator who greeted you.]
[Ouyang Yun first asked you if you had any needs, and then introduced the features of the market, as well as the auction that would be held in the market more than half a month later.]
He then respectfully withdrew.
[More than two weeks later, the auction was successfully held.]
[At Ouyang Yun's insistence, you reluctantly agreed to participate.]
[At the top floor of the auction house, you sit in a private box, looking down at the numerous cultivators below.]
Ouyang Yun will sit next to you and personally introduce each item to you during the auction.
[Your disguise is that of a quiet, elderly man in a straw raincoat, which relieved Ouyang Yun.]
As a member of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Yun knew very well that if you showed even the slightest interest in her, you would be sent to the family's bed that very night.
What does it matter if a few Qi Refining female cultivators in the clan are sacrificed, as long as one can befriend a Foundation Establishment cultivator?
Your gaze casually lingers on the numerous Qi Refining stage cultivators below.
During the auction, cultivators are prohibited from using their divine sense to avoid being secretly intimidated.
Soon, your gaze fell upon a Qi Refining stage cultivator.
"Ruan Hu!"
Information about this disciple of 'Beast Taming Mountain' appears in your mind.
Ten years from now, Ruan Hu will enter the Foundation Establishment stage and become a direct descendant of the "Beast Taming Mountain" Foundation Establishment cultivator.
As for now? Ruan Hu is only a Qi Refining Level 8 cultivator.
Seeing Ruanhu, you breathed a sigh of relief.
[Although in the second simulation, you will encounter the auction for the Dark Demon Eagle Egg, I have inquired about the specific details before and after several times.]
But ultimately it was just inquiries, not firsthand experience.
[Only now, upon seeing "Ruanhu," do you realize the information is true.]
[Next, you don't need to do anything, just keep an eye on 'Ruanhu'.]
The auction is in progress.
"As everyone knows, commanding a spirit pet can greatly enhance a cultivator's strength. This auction item is the Black Wind Eagle's egg."
"Black Wind Eagle, mid-grade bloodline, has the potential to grow to the late stage of Qi Refining. If it's lucky, it might even become a second-tier demonic beast..."
[“Black Wind Carved Egg, price 150 spirit stones, auction begins…”]
The monk presiding over the auction began to lavish praise on the many benefits of the Black Wind Carved Egg.
However, the cultivators present showed little interest. Wouldn't it be better to use the resources meant for cultivating spirit pets on themselves to directly increase their strength?
Among the many Qi Refining stage cultivators, Ruan Hu suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He stared intently at the black wind-carved egg on the high platform, vaguely sensing a deeper level of aura emanating from within the egg.
"We must get our hands on this Black Wind Carved Egg..."
As a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, Ruan Hu possesses an inexplicable intuition about spirit pets, and this Black Wind Eagle Egg gives him an intuition stronger than that of most of the demonic beasts on the Beast Taming Mountain.
"One hundred and sixty spirit stones."
Ruan Hu composed himself and stated the price.
[He observed his surroundings and, finding few cultivators interested in the Black Wind Carved Egg, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.]
Just as Ruan Hu was excitedly waiting for the bidding to end...
A hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the highest point of the auction stage.
"One hundred and seventy spirit stones."
You glanced at 'Ruanhu's' reaction below and joined the bidding.
Your participation has elicited a response from many cultivators present.
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, every move he makes is under scrutiny, let alone participating in the bidding for a Black Wind Carved Egg.
"How is this possible..." Ruan Hu was struck dumb.
He was confident he could defeat any other Qi Refining stage cultivator competing against him.
However, Foundation Establishment stage cultivators...
Even if Ruan Hu was very confident, he didn't think he could defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"One hundred and eighty spirit stones..." Ruan Hu reluctantly agreed.
"One hundred and ninety spirit stones," you said again.
This time, Ruan Hu did not continue.
If this continues, Ruan Hu feels he might not be able to return safely to 'Beast Taming Mountain'.
Even though Ruan Hu has the background of "Beast Taming Mountain", he dares not offend a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
[Inside a high-end box at the auction, you had been observing Ruan Hu's reaction until you saw him give up the bidding, looking completely dejected. You felt a little relieved.]
[Shortly afterward, the Black Wind Eagle's egg was brought into the private room and presented to you.]
This black wind-carved egg is generally blackish-gray and about the size of a washbasin.
"Congratulations, senior, on obtaining this Black Wind Carved Egg..."
Ouyang Yun offered her congratulations from the side.
