After the successful auction of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill, Tong Xingbang seamlessly continued to introduce the next auction item—a third-rank Demon Beast's blood essence.
However, Xu Ping showed no interest in this so-called third-rank Demon Beast's blood essence, so he sat back on his mat, choosing to remain a quiet spectator.
Dong dong!
Just then, an elderly voice suddenly came from the tightly closed door outside: "Sir, the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill you just auctioned has been sent to you!"
"Enter!" Xu Ping said in a deep voice.
Eek!
The door opened, and an elderly woman with white hair at the Fake Pill Realm walked in.
"Sir, this jade slip records the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill you auctioned!" As she spoke, the elderly woman flipped her withered hand, revealing a verdant jade slip in her palm.
"Could I perhaps take a look first?" Xu Ping asked in a resonant voice.
Although the Luoyun Sect wouldn't deceive him, it was still wise to be cautious in matters involving precious cultivation techniques.
"Of course, this is not a problem!"
The elderly woman smiled slightly and then used Mana to hover the jade slip over to Xu Ping.
Backed by the Luoyun Sect, she naturally feared not a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator acting against her or attempting to snatch the item.
Xu Ping reached out to take the jade slip, instantly probing his Divine Sense into it.
In a flash, the content of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill recorded in the jade slip vividly appeared in his mind.
After some careful identification and confirmation, Xu Ping nodded secretly, feeling assured: "This cultivation technique is indeed genuine."
Then, Xu Ping waved his right hand, and four Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans slowly floated towards the elderly woman with the Fake Pill Realm.
He spoke calmly: "These are four third-rank lower-grade talismans, please verify them."
The elderly woman steadily caught the talismans, and upon contact, she could clearly sense the power contained within them.
The overwhelming Thunder Power, which even at her Fake Pill Realm cultivation, made her secretly startled.
"A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator possessing four third-rank talismans, such astounding wealth is truly rare," the elderly woman thought to herself.
If she were not the outer elder of the Luoyun Sect, tasked with maintaining the safety of this auction, she might have been tempted to act against him.
The elderly woman discreetly secured the four Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talismans, still wearing a gentle smile, and asked:
"The transaction is complete, I wonder if the guest wishes to purchase the Earthly Rock Milk that aids in the cultivation of the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill."
"Yes!" Xu Ping nodded without hesitation.
Earthly Rock Milk is a rare Spiritual Liquid born in the depths of molten magma.
It carries the profound power of the earth, having an excellent effect on strengthening the resilience of bones.
In cultivating the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill, it helps cultivators solidify their foundation and better endure the pressure brought about by the operation of the technique.
Without Earthly Rock Milk, it's not that one cannot train in the Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill.
But the efficiency and power would be significantly reduced!
In that case, it would be more appropriate to choose other body refining techniques.
The Luoyun Sect sells Earthly Rock Milk.
The price of each bottle is six hundred Spirit Stones.
However, this amount is only sufficient for the needs of two cultivation sessions.
Considering what it takes to cultivate, Xu Ping didn't hesitate and immediately spent twelve thousand Spirit Stones to purchase twenty bottles.
Though he usually had considerable wealth, spending so extravagantly at this moment still made his heart ache slightly.
After all, these twenty bottles of Earthly Rock Milk could barely sustain two months of cultivation.
If calculated for a year's supply, it would require more than seventy thousand Spirit Stones!
Such terrifying consumption of resources, even those in the Fake Pill Realm, would find it difficult to bear long-term.
Moreover, once successfully advancing to the third-rank Body Refining Realm, the needed auxiliary spiritual materials would change to a more advanced Lava Spiritual Marrow.
The price of Lava Spiritual Marrow is unbelievably high.
Not to mention those in the Fake Pill Realm, even more powerful Golden Core realms face enormous pressure with such exorbitant costs, unable to bear them.
"Wish the guest success in acquiring desired items in the upcoming auction," the elderly woman said politely after completing the transaction, then turned and exited the room.
Once again, Xu Ping was the only one left in the room.
He toyed with a grayish storage bag in his hands, and when his Divine Sense penetrated it, twenty jade bottles neatly containing a reddish-brown viscous liquid came into view.
"Hopefully, this Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill is as good as Tong Xingbang claimed!" Xu Ping sighed inwardly.
Having spent so much, if the effects fall short, the thought would be truly disappointing.
In the following time, piece by piece, precious auction items were successively auctioned, yet Xu Ping didn't bid again, choosing to watch peacefully.
"The next auction item might be... Millennia Spiritual Liquid!"
Tong Xingbang's voice suddenly reverberated throughout the auction venue, instantly invigorating the previously languid Xu Ping.
Amid everyone's expectant gazes, a graceful waitress holding a delicate jade bottle in both hands gracefully stepped onto the auction stage.
Through the crystal ball, Xu Ping could see the crystal-clear liquid inside the bottle, radiating a subtle spiritual light.
"Fellow cultivators, please note, this Millennia Spiritual Liquid is a third-rank life-extending treasure." Tong Xingbang's voice grew increasingly enthusiastic and intense.
