268: Foundation Building Pill

Wang Lang's words indeed made Zhou Luo quite surprised.

He looked at the other party's serious appearance and asked doubtfully, "Doesn't the Immortal City have a Golden Core True Person overseeing it?"

Experts like this, one Divine Sense can almost cover the entire Immortal City, not to mention the guard teams often seen wearing Azure Origin Sect attire.

In this situation, would anyone still dare to be so bold?

Wang Lang smiled and shook his head, "Do you think they don't need to cultivate? Those big shots don't have time to bother with things outside the Core Area."

Covering with Divine Sense also requires consumption; no one will stare at the city's situation all the Time, not to mention they also need to go into seclusion for cultivation and so on.

If it were the Core Area, it would be fine; basically, even a slight spiritual energy fluctuation from you would be noticed by that Golden Core True Person.

But the Inner City and Outer City are different.

Especially the Outer City, they probably don't think much of that place at all, at most sending some Cultivators to patrol and guard.

So actually, quite a few people die in the Outer City every "Nian"; some are killed due to grudges, and some are killed by Rogue Cultivator or Evil Cultivators who have infiltrated the Immortal City, and so on.

Wang Lang specifically ran errands for the black market, so naturally, he knew some secrets.

Moreover, not only in the Outer City, but even in the Inner City, Cultivators die mysteriously every "Nian".

So basically, Cultivators with the means will set up a formation for their residence.

Although this may not necessarily prevent others from invading, it can at least serve as a warning.

As long as a large-scale fight occurs, the city's law enforcement team will still personally arrive.

Of course, openly kill people like this will not happen, but those who launch sneak attacks in the dark are indeed difficult to investigate.

After hearing Wang Lang's introduction, Zhou Luo fell into thought.

In the past few "Nian" since coming to the Immortal City, he had kept a low profile and hadn't encountered this kind of problem.

He had thought the Immortal City was very safe.

Now it seems that wherever there is interest, conflict is unavoidable.

Even cities under the jurisdiction of Golden Core True Persons still cannot prevent those Evil Cultivators and Rogue Cultivator from acting.

It seems he still needs to be careful in the future.

He decided that in the future, when going out to buy Foundation Establishment Materials, he would wear a mask and disguise himself as someone else.

As for his home, there was no need to worry.

On one hand, he had already set up a High Grade formation, which could basically withstand the attacks of most Qi Training cultivators.

On the other hand, there was also Bai, a Second Order mid-stage Spirit Beast guarding; even if a Foundation Establishment Expert invaded, they would have to weigh their own strength.

"I understand. Here's a communication Talismans for you. If you encounter danger, I'll consider whether to save you or not." Zhou Luo handed over a Talismans.

Although he was making the other party a shield, he wasn't giving nothing in return.

If the other party was truly targeted, if he could help, he would definitely help; if not, then so be it.

Anyway, this wasn't something he forced Wang Lang to do.

Wang Lang took the Talismans, "Still need to consider?"

"Definitely. But don't worry, after you die, I will take care of your wife myself." Zhou Luo said seriously.

"I thank you," Wang Lang pouted.

Complaints are complaints, but for the Clear Heart Bell, he didn't mind taking a risk.

Anyway, he also had a formation at home, plus the Talismans he refined himself. As long as it wasn't a Foundation Establishment Expert taking action, he could still hold out until the Immortal City guard team came.

As long as he didn't leave the Immortal City, he would be fine.

Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of the large auction house.

People here were bustling, everyone vying to enter, all wanting to occupy a favorable position.

Wang Lang, on the other hand, led Zhou Luo to the side and took out his Wang Family token.

Because of Wang Yuwei's matter, the Wang Family was now too preoccupied to send anyone to attend this large auction.

Although Wang Lang had left the Wang Family, he was still a direct descendant, so it was natural for him to represent the Wang Family and come to the VIP area on the second-floor terrace.

For this large auction, among the Five Great Evergreen Families, four did not come; the only one that came was the Li Family.

The Li Family, who had always watched from the sidelines and didn't take sides, had always maintained a neutral stance. Although they didn't gain much benefit, their advantage lay in stability and peace, without much trouble occurring.

Of course, this was also thanks to the Li Family's strong overall strength.

During their last conversation, Li Zehou revealed that the Li Family would produce another Foundation Establishment Expert, and judging by his confident appearance, it was likely true.

Now that several Longevity Families had accumulated for so long, everyone was stuck at Qi Training layer nine. If it weren't for the lack of Foundation Establishment Pills, several Foundation Establishment Experts would have probably emerged by now.

This is also why the conflicts among the Longevity Families have intensified in the past decade or so.

Because you must expand quickly and improve your own overall strength before the other party produces a second Foundation Establishment Expert.

And the consequence of this is that Foundation Establishment Materials are becoming increasingly scarce.

Zhou Luo was also very unlucky to encounter a period when Immortal Family Qi Training layer nine experts were emerging in large numbers.

Otherwise, he would have been able to gather at least thirty-one kinds of supplementary herbs.

Besides the Five Great Evergreen Families, some other forces also sent people, but overall, there were significantly fewer people than at the last auction.

These people were basically affected by the great war between the Lin and Lu families.

The auction is held once every five "Nian", but the great war directly determines the rise and fall of a Zhou Family. Anyone with a clear mind knows which is more important.

It seems this great war will likely continue for a long Time.

The one in charge of the auction this Time was still that Old Man.

With his appearance, this auction officially kicked off.

Zhou Luo was not interested in other things, so he spent most of the Time sitting there pretending to nap.

As for Wang Lang, he was truly willing but unable. To save money to buy the Clear Heart Bell, he had always been frugal.

Don't look at him being unrestrained, but when it came to the path of immortal cultivation, he was very serious.

If he didn't have the heart for immortal cultivation, there would be no need for him to come to the Immortal City; finding a secular place to be a rich man would probably be more comfortable.

Every auction was extremely popular, but with fewer Zhou Family forces participating this "Nian", the bidding prices were much lower than in previous "Nian".

Speaking of which, Zhou Luo's auction that Time set a new high for bidding prices.

After all, when it came to being extravagant, truly few people could compare to him.

The morning Time flew by. As soon as the afternoon session began, the Old Man took out a Foundation Establishment Pill, completely igniting the entire venue.

Moreover, this was a High Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, with a starting price of five thousand Spirit Stones.

Five thousand actually wasn't much, but it couldn't withstand everyone's scramble to buy.

In just a quarter of an hour Time, the starting price of five thousand Spirit Stones had already soared to eight thousand.

Even Zhou Luo's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

The Foundation Establishment Pill was simply too popular.

His entire net worth accumulated over these "Nian" was less than fifteen thousand Spirit Stones.

This single Foundation Establishment Pill directly cost him half of his savings, and the price was still soaring.

Especially the Li Family, they seemed determined to obtain this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Unlike other forces, Longevity Families like the Li Family have enough foundation to open up a cave dwelling in the Immortal City's Core Area to go into seclusion and break through.

Forces that were attacked earlier were precisely because they spent a large amount of money to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, resulting in no extra Spirit Stones to stay in the Immortal City, and had to leave, which is why they were ambushed and kill.

This Time, it wasn't just Li Zehou who attended; he was also accompanied by many Li Family disciples, and it is estimated that some of them are on the verge of breaking through.

Zhou Luo even noticed an Old Man in the crowd with an ordinary aura, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

His intuition told him that the other party was likely the Li Family Old Ancestor.

The Li Family made full preparations this Time, even inviting the Old Ancestor to protect the path. It seems they are determined to get this Foundation Establishment Pill.

After today, perhaps the Li Family will soon produce a new Foundation Establishment Expert.
