From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal

Spiritual patterns blossomed and transformed into vivid projections, even the individual strands of the auctioneer's hair could be seen clearly.

The Cultivation World has developed various fascinating spells and arrays to better serve cultivators, achieving a high degree of perfection.

Li Quanqing glanced at it a few times and then shifted his attention back to the Jade Box in his hands.

He took out the four stalks of Dragon Scale Grass one by one, examining them carefully, and finally relaxed after confirming there were no issues.

Although the items for auction had been inspected by an appraiser beforehand, he just couldn't feel at ease without seeing them for himself.

"Quanqing, are you thinking of feeding the Dragon Scale Grass to the Green Jade Carp?"

Li Yujiao held a water pipe, blowing clouds of smoke: "The effects of this Spirit Grass are indeed excellent, highly likely to cultivate several Golden Pattern Variants."

Li Quanqing's heart stirred: "I have already raised a Golden Pattern Green Jade Carp, and I want to feed the Dragon Scale Grass to it. Auntie, do you have any suggestions?"

"You're quite skilled in fish raising."

Li Yujiao's eyes flashed with surprise: "That said, eating it directly would be too wasteful. It's better to refine it into an elixir, which can also accelerate the cultivation of spiritual beasts."

Beside him, Li Quanlin coughed softly, secretly nudging his fellow disciple: "Our Auntie is one of the top-ranked Alchemists in our family!"

"Smooth talker!"

Li Yujiao laughed pretending to be annoyed, and the beauty mark by her eye seemed to come alive, bringing forth a youthful naïveté.

Li Quanqing got the hint: "Please assist me, Auntie."

He took out a gourd of Nourishing Spirit Mud, the last one left from his initial rewards, and its effects were indeed remarkable, particularly lethal to female cultivators.

"You're also raising Stone Spirit Loaches?"

Li Yujiao showed only mild interest in the Spirit Mud, instead focusing on another trivial detail.

Li Quanqing was startled then honestly nodded: "I've raised seven or eight of them."

"I have a disciple who is still some distance away from becoming a proper Alchemist."

"The Nourishing Spirit Mud, resembling an elixir but not quite one, is most suitable for trainees to practice with. What do you think?"

Li Quanqing was naturally very willing: "I'll follow Auntie's lead."

"Alright, I'll introduce you two later."

Li Yujiao took the Dragon Scale Grass: "There are quite a few people requesting my alchemy services. It will take about a month. Can you come to pick it up then?"

"I'll come to pick up the elixirs for the master, and then send them back to Qingpan Island, Auntie."

Li Quanfu finally caught a chance to chime in after listening for a while, scurrying over with an earnest expression.

"This little guy is…" Li Yujiao glanced over.

"He's the guy in charge of my shop, the grandson of Mr. Kun Shui."

"So he's a descendant of Nineteenth Uncle. I'll leave it to you then."

Li Yujiao treated her kin exceedingly well. She handed a small chubby boy a Jade Pendant: "If you encounter anything in business, use this to seek help from the auction housekeeper. I'll notify them. We can't let outsiders bully our own folks!"

Seeing this, Li Quanqing suddenly felt a wave of emotion.

At this moment, the auctioneer finally finished the introductory remarks, and the auction officially began.

To liven up the atmosphere, the first item chosen was very precious.

A Top Grade Magical Artifact, Green Scale Shield.

A defensive treasure and a signature Magic Artifact of the Li Family, the bidding was extremely competitive and bustling.

The price surged towards the major milestone of four hundred Spirit Stones.

Li Quanqing was astounded. He had sold his Mystic Turtle Shield for those Azure Water Python Snake Eggs and now he was lacking a defensive Magic Artifact.

Unfortunately, it was too expensive.

"The Hall Master said, when you become a Middle-Grade Artifact Refiner, you'll be rewarded with a Green Scale Shield, considered a family benefit for our Artifact Refiners."

Li Quanlin teased from the side: "Don't go blabbering about this."

"I know, I know!"

Li Quanqing chuckled.

He was confident in his Artifact Refining skills now, capable of crafting Middle Grade Green Carp Swords.

He decided to claim this reward before the family competition to show up in the strongest form.

Ultimately, the Green Scale Shield was sold for 480 low-grade Spirit Stones to a Qi Refining Eighth Level Loose Cultivator, who left immediately after.

One auction item after another made spectators dazzled.

The artifact refiners in the private booths were making big spends, showcasing what it means to be truly extravagant as they tossed out spirit stones by the handful.

Li Quanqing was incredibly envious.

He had less than five hundred spirit stones left, unable to afford the expensive and uninterested in the cheap, only managing to bid on a few bottles of Beast Food Pill.

"A Longevity Turtle Egg, a renowned demon beast, the best choice to protect one's clan. Starting bid, fifty spirit stones!"

A familiar auction item appeared, and Li Quanqing glanced over, completely uninterested in making a bid.

"One hundred spirit stones!"

Unexpectedly, the Third Elder seemed quite interested, directly doubling the price.

There weren't many cultivators interested in acquiring the Longevity Turtle Egg, and by making an early bid, shockingly, no one competed with him, allowing for a successful purchase.

"Thunder Horn Python juveniles, starting bid five hundred spirit stones!"

In contrast to the indifference towards the Longevity Turtle, the Thunder Horn Python ignited excitement among the crowd.

Li Quanqing also wanted it, but even emptying his Storage Bag wouldn't suffice.

Eventually, the trio of snake juveniles sold for an astonishing price of two thousand six hundred spirit stones.

An adult Thunder Horn Python is in the Qi Refining Late Stage, and with proper cultivation, it could attempt for Qi Refining Perfection in thirty to forty years.

For the same duration and resources, a Longevity Turtle would achieve merely Qi Refining First or Second Rank.

The difference was clear.

The appearance of the Thunder Horn Python seemed like a signal, finally bringing the auction to its climactic final stages.

"A Tonghua Pill, a top-tier Breaking Stage Elixir that can help cultivators at the Qi Refining Sixth Level break through their stage!"

A signature elixir of the Wang Family from Tonghua Island, although it's the least ranked among the five great families with only one Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, in terms of the number of cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, they were among the top.

This Tonghua Pill eventually sold for one thousand two hundred spirit stones, with fierce competition.

Li Quanqing glanced at the person who secured the elixir, shrouded entirely in robes, uncertain if it might be his uncle.

"A Second-Rank Thousand Lotus Sword Formation incomplete array plate, unearthed from ancient practitioner ruins, once activated, its power rivals a top-tier first-order array, perhaps an array master could glean ancient techniques from it."

Another exquisite item, but unfortunately, no one in attendance was interested.

The Li Family excels in artifact refining, strongest in array inheritances was the Situ Family from Taiyuan Island.

The Situ Family, armed with seven Foundation Establishment cultivators and a Third-Order Array protecting the Taiyuan Islands, undeniable prowess as number one.

It's said that a thousand years ago, when cultivators first started clearing these lands, the Situ Family was a Golden Core Clan, although now declined.

Yet, they still receive respect and preferential treatment from the Upper Sect, Shuihua Sword Sect.

Unexpectedly, the last one to acquire the Thousand Lotus Sword Formation was a woman, her voice cold.

She too was in a private booth, her face unseen.

Subsequently, five to six more precious items, including a Protecting Vein Pill.

This type of elixir can protect the veins, aiding cultivators in breaking through to Foundation Establishment.

Even if the breakthrough fails, it can still protect the veins and save one's life.

"Next, is the last item of this auction, a top-grade magical artifact — Green Jade Armor!"

The radiant armor was brought to the auction stage, translucent like jade, slowly blooming like a bluish-green lotus.

"Let's go, this is boring!"

Li Kunli stood up, and the other artifact refiners also prepared to leave.

Li Quanqing likewise wasn't concerned about the auction's outcome.

This Green Jade Armor was recently forged by the Third Elder as an assigned task by the clan.

They may be indifferent, but the entire auction hall was bustling with activity.

Those cultivators at the Qi Refining Late Stage and Great Perfection Level, their eyes were all red.

This full-body armor-style defensive magical artifact, it's not exaggeration to say, is like a second life!

Arrayed in battle armor, invincible among peers!

Even cultivators from smaller families were thrown into this frenzy.

People moved to the area for paying with spirit stones, and through numerous walls, the din of the auction could still be heard.

"Here are your five bottles of Beast Food Pill, please keep them safe."

As Li Quanqing was carefully counting them, the Third Elder suddenly approached and handed him a dark green turtle egg.

"Take this, consider it a gift for your eighteenth birthday."
