Chapter 2205: Chapter 1572: Beginning (Part 2)

Because for him, it’s no more than a matter of waving his hand to complete.

He just needs to place the successfully concocted pill in front of him, applying the Power of Purification, controlling its strength not to be too strong, to avoid purifying too much of the Pill Poison within, making the grade of the pill too good.

With Li Zhirui’s current realm, he can completely purify tens of thousands of pills in one go, and the time consumed might be less than half a quarter of an hour.

But he won’t divulge his abilities to anyone at all, after all, there are still quite a few existences in the Tao Spirit Realm more powerful than him, and if the word gets out, the trouble it brings would be immense.

He might even have to live a life of anonymity and homelessness once again.

But now, Li Zhirui already has bonds and attachments, and it’s no longer a time when he could be indifferent about everything on his own.

So he must be extremely cautious, not to leak any bit of information.

"Is the Sect Leader’s statement true?" Wansheng looked at him somewhat skeptically.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe, it’s just that the Sect Leader’s claims are unprecedented and unheard of!

And it’s concerning the reputation of the entire sect, so he cannot help but question it.

"Indeed! I wouldn’t joke about such an important matter."

Li Zhirui said with certainty, "Therefore, you should quickly arrange for the disciples to concoct the pills, and finally hand them over to me."

The Sixth and Eighth Rank Spirit Enhancing Pills will be handed over to the alchemists cultivated by the Tongtian Sect over the years, while the Loose Immortal Grade ones can only be made by him personally.

And to avoid concocting pills of too good a grade, during the refining process, he must deliberately make errors, or else the result would be nothing but top-grade elixirs!

No way around it, with Li Zhirui mastering the Purification Principle, even without using the Power of Purification, his mana naturally contains a trace of purification.

Combined with his superb alchemy technique, this kind of Loose Immortal Grade pill can easily be top-grade.

If they were all top-grade pills, it might still be explainable, but for them all to be top-grade elixirs would indeed arouse suspicion.

In the following days, all the alchemists of the Tongtian Sect were continuously concocting pills, even if they couldn’t concoct Spirit Enhancing Pills, they weren’t free either, as they needed to assist in purifying the Spiritual Objects on the side.

Other disciples had their respective tasks too, such as preparing for the auction a few days later.

...

As the sun rose and set, time quickly arrived at the day the auction was held.

For this, the Tongtian Sect dispatched all its disciples, some maintaining order, some were responsible for reception, while others needed to act as shop assistants, shopkeepers.

Even so, manpower was somewhat insufficient.

"Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City looks quite impressive."

Although it was built in just half a month, there wasn’t the slightest sign of cutting corners, so to outsiders, it didn’t seem at all like it was built in a short time.

"Just don’t know if it’s gilded on the outside and worthless on the inside."

As Immortal City had just allowed cultivators to enter, and major merchants and businesses were not optimistic about its future development, they hadn’t rented the shops in advance.

Therefore, most shops inside were in a closed state, and those with open doors were operated by the Tongtian Sect.

"Pill Shop, Magic Artifact Store, Talisman Shop..."

The shop names were very straightforward, instantly revealing what they sold.

Among all the shops, the most popular and bustling one was Mo Elixir Shop indeed!

It was already crowded, with the queue extending to the street outside.

Most of them were intending to check out the improved Spirit Enhancing Pills, to confirm the price, effect, and quantity.

"Everyone, do not worry about the effect, if it’s not ten percent better than the original pills, as long as it’s not damaged by human hands, they can be returned for Spirit Stones at any time."

Acting as the temporary shopkeeper, a disciple said, "Also, rest assured, the sect has prepared nearly five thousand bottles of Sixth and Eighth Rank Spirit Enhancing Pills, as well as a thousand bottles of Loose Immortal Grade pills."

"However, to purchase the Spirit Enhancing Pills, you must rent a Cave Mansion in Ten Thousand Treasures Immortal City or Hundred Treasures Market for at least six months."

"Other pills are not subject to this condition, if you need any pills, feel free to come to me for payment."

The rest of the pills were more ordinary ones available outside, and they were not improved versions either.

But in light of the joyous occasion of the public opening of Tongtian Sect’s first Immortal City, these pills were offered at a ten percent discount, with a slight reduction in Spirit Stone prices.

Compared to the Pill Shop, the other shops appeared much quieter.

"How did the Tongtian Sect produce so many improved pills?"

Passing by a certain sect’s elder outside, upon hearing the voices within, couldn’t help but be taken aback.

This situation was completely different from what they had imagined!

Nearly five thousand bottles of improved pills might not last long, but it already proved the Tongtian Sect had sufficient capability to produce a large number of pills.

Thinking of this, that elder’s expression suddenly became serious.

They are about to face a challenge from the Tongtian Sect, and it doesn’t appear to be a weak force.

Dang, dang, dang——

As people were wandering around, a bell suddenly rang.

Then, a voice reached the ears of all cultivators, "The auction is about to begin, those interested, please come to the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion."

Indeed! This auction would be held in the square!

The auction hall built couldn’t accommodate so many people.

Upon hearing the sound, all cultivators headed toward the square.

In just a moment, the originally empty scene was now filled with cultivators.

"The auction is about to begin, please be prepared, and do not move around!"

Along with this reminder, dense white fog suddenly rose on the square, and soon it reached a state where one couldn’t see their extended hand.

Yet, they could clearly see the content on the auction stage just by looking up.

This was to protect the identity of those who bid and won Spiritual Objects, preventing them from being ambushed on the road.

Only a force like the Tongtian Sect, eager to build fame, would consider so much for others.

If the legacy lasted a bit longer, this might not be the case.

"The auction officially begins!"

On the stage, the Independent Immortal Disciple announced solemnly, "Once the auction commences, no one is allowed to use mana to probe the surrounding cultivators, anyone who violates will be immediately expelled."

Boom——

Li Zhirui, who hadn’t shown himself all along, at this moment, declared his village through his own pressure.

"This is..."

That terrifyingly strong pressure, although it only existed for three breaths, still left an incredibly profound impression.

"The pressure just now is at least of a Mysterious Immortal’s Great Ability!"

"You mean the Tongtian Sect actually has a Mysterious Immortal?" How is that possible! Isn’t it a newly established, unknown sect?"

The cultivators of various forces changed their expressions dramatically, as no one expected that Tongtian Sect would have a Mysterious Immortal.

If he launched an attack himself, no one in Mingzhou could stop him!

While the Loose Cultivators were surprised, they didn’t show much reaction since it wasn’t much related to them.

Dang——

The auctioneer struck the small Jade Bell beside him, drawing everyone’s attention.

"The auction officially begins!"

"The first item up for auction, a Profound Immortal Rank Spiritual Object, Nine-colored Rainbow Light, can be integrated into a Flying Artifact, greatly increasing the artifact’s speed, and it’s rumored to be linked to the enigmatic path of luck."

"Starting bid, thirty million Spirit Stones!"

This price right from the start indicated it was beyond the reach of most cultivators.

However, cultivators of Loose Cultivator origin, even with a high realm, likely couldn’t spare too many Spirit Stones, as they used their Spirit Stones on themselves.

"Thirty-five million Spirit Stones!"

"Forty million..."

Bidding for this Spiritual Object wasn’t very heated, and the price only climbed slowly, halting at forty-eight million three hundred thousand.

"Congratulations, sir, for winning the Nine-colored Rainbow Light!"
