20: Wanbaolou

Five years later, Li Haotian walked out of the Immortal Cave.

He had concealed his cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and no one discovered that it was he who had achieved a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage.

At this moment, inside Li Haotian's Dantian, in addition to the Golden Core and sword essence, two Flying Swords were floating above the Golden Core.

These two Flying Swords were the Azure-Purple Twin Swords.

After achieving a Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage, Li Haotian had refined the two Flying Swords, directly turning them into his own Lifebound Treasure.

Anyway, as long as he had enough Spirit Stones, Li Haotian could rapidly increase the Rank of his Magic Treasure.

Plus, these two Flying Swords happened to be compatible with him, making them perfect to be his Lifebound Treasure.

Walking out of the Immortal Cave and arriving at the shop where he rented it, the old man glanced at Li Haotian and discovered that Li Haotian's cultivation had increased by a small Realm, feeling envious.

But others had Spirit Stones and resources, so naturally they could increase their cultivation.

He was just a small manager, and even with the backing of the Sword Sect, it was impossible for him to possess too many resources.

Unless he rented out the Immortal Cave, he could get a three percent commission from it.

Li Haotian had previously spent 25,000 Spirit Stones to rent the Immortal Cave, and he could earn 750 Spirit Stones.

But such a small amount of Spirit Stones was simply not enough for him to increase his cultivation; Medicinal Pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage were very expensive.

One pill cost about 50 Spirit Stones, so 750 Spirit Stones could only buy fifteen pills, which was pitifully few.

"Oh my, congratulations to Fellow Daoist on your cultivation increase. I wonder if Fellow Daoist wants to continue renting the Immortal Cave?"

Li Haotian waved his hand and said, "Sigh, the Spirit Stones are gone. I must go out to earn some Spirit Stones, otherwise I won't be able to afford the rent."

The old man nodded slightly.

A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator bringing out 25,000 Spirit Stones was already a lot, plus the cost of buying Medicinal Pills, Li Haotian was already very wealthy.

He didn't believe Li Haotian could continue to afford the Immortal Cave, he just asked casually.

It wasn't that Li Haotian couldn't afford the Immortal Cave, but he didn't want to continue Cultivating here.

Now that he had plenty of resources and his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Core Stage, Li Haotian was happy in his heart and needed to return to develop his Family as soon as possible.

If there were a few more Golden Core Stage Cultivators in the Family, he wouldn't need to run around everywhere.

In the entire Heaven's Gate Archipelago, perhaps only Tianmen Island would be their rival.

By that time, resources would be re-divided, and the Li Family's Spirit Stones would flow in continuously.

Thinking of this, Li Haotian couldn't wait to go back.

Handing over the Immortal Cave jade token, Li Haotian bade farewell to the old man impatiently and walked outside.

At this moment, Li Haotian looked like an ordinary young man.

Coupled with the Supreme Breath Concealment Technique masking his aura, even a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator would be unable to discover his cultivation.

Just as he was about to leave Wuya City, he was suddenly intrigued by a conversation between two people.

"Have you heard? Wanbao Pavilion is going to hold an auction."

"Ah? Is it the Wanbao Pavilion run by the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, the number one commercial chamber in the cultivation world?"

"Yes, do you know what they will be selling?"

"How would I know that? If you want to say it, just say it."

"Hey, don't be impatient. It is said that this time they are selling Core Formation Pills, as well as Foundation Establishment Pills and other treasures."

"Oh? Are there Foundation Establishment Pills? Then I also want to go to the auction to take a look."

"Listen to me finish. That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this auction will have ten-thousand-year Dragon Soaring Fruit for auction."

"What? Dragon Soaring Fruit? The Dragon Soaring Fruit that only exists in places where legendary flood dragons fell?"

"Yes, the ten-thousand-year Dragon Soaring Fruit can increase the probability of a Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage. I'm afraid many Golden Core Old Ancestors will attend the auction this time."

"Then let's go and watch the excitement. Do you have a way to enter the Wanbao Pavilion auction?"

"As for that, it's not impossible. As long as you have items to auction, you should be able to get in. Otherwise, you need to take out 10,000 Spirit Stones to purchase an entry qualification."

"Sigh, forget it. That's not a place we can go."

"Who says it isn't!"

Hearing what the two said, Li Haotian couldn't help but become interested in this auction.

He arrived at a place where no one was around, his figure flickered, and he turned into an elderly man, his aura reaching the Foundation Establishment Peak.

At this time, even if the old man who rented the Immortal Cave stood in front of him, he would be unable to discover that he was Li Haotian, who had previously rented Immortal Cave Number Six.

Li Haotian walked tremblingly towards Wanbao Pavilion.

At this time, he was a Foundation Establishment Peak old man whose lifespan was coming to an end, so naturally, he had to act like one.

When he walked into Wanbao Pavilion, a female Cultivator came up to greet him.

The female Cultivator looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, her appearance and figure were both top-notch, and she even had the cultivation of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Li Haotian couldn't help but praise inwardly; as expected of a major power, even the receptionist was a beautiful young girl at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The female Cultivator respectfully said, "Cuizhu pays respects to Senior. I wonder what Senior needs?"

Li Haotian smiled and said, "I have come to auction some Spirit Medicine. I wonder if Wanbao Pavilion can help?"

Cuizhu quickly said, "Senior, Wanbao Pavilion is just about to hold an auction, but if your treasure is not precious enough, it cannot be sent to the auction."

Li Haotian waved his hand and said, "The treasure this time is definitely precious."

After speaking, two jade boxes appeared in his hand, one large and one small.

As soon as the jade boxes appeared, a rich fragrance emanated from them.

"Spirit Medicine?"

Cuizhu looked at Li Haotian with some surprise and asked.

Li Haotian nodded and said, "A ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine Divine Dragon Grass, and a thousand-year Spirit Medicine, Fire Dragon Grass. Do they have the qualification to be auctioned at your Wanbao Pavilion?"

Cuizhu couldn't help but widen her eyes.

A ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine was a rare good thing.

Although most of the sea Cultivators were water-attribute Cultivators, that did not mean they couldn't use ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines like Divine Dragon Grass.

Ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicines were coveted even by Nascent Soul old monsters, and even Soul Transformation Old Ancestors would fight for them.

Cuizhu quickly asked, "Can Senior wait a moment? I will let our Treasure Appraiser confirm it."

Li Haotian nodded and said, "Good!"

Cuizhu led Li Haotian to the VIP room and quickly went out.

Before long, Cuizhu brought a middle-aged man in.

Seeing the two jade boxes on the table, his eyes lit up.

Without even paying attention to Li Haotian, he directly reached out towards the jade boxes on the table.

Li Haotian instantly put away the jade boxes, his eyes staring fixedly at the middle-aged man.

Cuizhu quickly said, "Senior, this is our Wanbao Pavilion's best Treasure Appraiser. He was a bit hasty upon seeing good things. My apologies."

The Middle-aged Appraiser quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, I apologize. Because I sensed the aura of ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine, I was a bit hasty."

Li Haotian nodded slightly, and only then did he take out the ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine.

The Middle-aged Appraiser looked at Li Haotian, then took the jade box into his hands.

The ten-thousand-year Spirit Medicine in the jade box had been enhanced by Li Haotian using Spirit Stones, so naturally, there would be no problems.

The Middle-aged Appraiser said in surprise, "These two medicinal herbs are actually freshly harvested. No problem, absolutely no problem. One is 13,000 years old, and one is 3,000 years old."

The Middle-aged Appraiser said, "Fellow Daoist, are you planning to auction these two Spirit Medicines? My Wanbao Pavilion wants to acquire them. Fellow Daoist, how about you name a price?"

Li Haotian waved his hand and said, "It's not that I can't sell them to Wanbao Pavilion, but this old man's lifespan is coming to an end. I am prepared to use these two medicinal herbs to exchange for a few Core Formation Pills. If Wanbao Pavilion can provide them, this old man will trade. How about that?"

The Middle-aged Appraiser hesitated for a moment and said, "I see. Core Formation Pills are also rare items. How many do you intend to exchange for, Fellow Daoist?"

Li Haotian asked with a smile, "I ask Fellow Daoist to give a price. If the price is suitable, this old man will sell them to Wanbao Pavilion and won't bother with the auction."
