Chapter 27 The Heretics Appeared
Star-picking pavilion.
On the fourth floor of the pavilion.
“Young Master Gu, sorry for the wait.”
The fat Sikong Xuan dragged his body and returned to the room with a smile on his face. At the same time, he handed over the catalogue in his hand.
Lu Ming put down the tea in his palm and took
it.
“Tonight, there are three types of talismans and four types of spiritual tools in our star-picking pavilion’s catalogue.” “At the same time, we have recorded the spiritual tools and talismans in the catalogue for you.”
“You can look through them.”
Sikong Xuan sat on the armchair next to Lu Ming and explained to him. “Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded and started to look through the catalogue.
He didn’t look at the spiritual tools and talismans in the catalogue directly. Instead, he started to look through the items in the catalogue of the star-picking pavilion. The reason was very simple.
The disguise powder on Lu Ming’s face had a total of ten hours. When the auction started, it would take another four hours, and the auction would last at least two hours.
With his cautious personality, he naturally felt that it was good to only sell medicinal pills. As soon as the auction ended and he received the spirit stones, he would quickly leave.
Otherwise, if something were to be delayed in the remaining four hours, it would be troublesome.
His true identity would also be exposed.
Since the items in the auction had been listed in the catalogue, even if he had taken a fancy to them, Sikong Xuan still had to go through the auction process for the sake of the rules.
As for the items on the star-picking pavilion’s inventory list, there was no need to go through the process. If Lu Ming had taken a fancy to any of them, Sikong Xuan would have sent them over directly.
This way, he could obtain better spiritual tools and talismans without appearing at the auction.
This was because if he were to trigger a conflict during the auction, it would be very disadvantageous to him, who was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
“There are more than 300 talismans for the later-stage of Foundation Establishment Stage, and more than 200 talismans for the completed Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“It looks like all the talismans above the Core Formation Stage should be on the auction catalogue.”
“There are more than 30 spiritual tools in total, of which there are more than 20 offensive spiritual tools, and only a dozen defensive type talismans? Moreover, they are all yellow-rank top-grade talismans.”
While flipping through the inventory list, Lu Ming’s thoughts kept surging. It was obvious that he wasn’t very satisfied with these talismans and yellow-rank top-grade talismans.
However, after deliberating for a while, Lu Ming still said, “Prepare two hundred talismans for those that have completed the Foundation Establishment Stage. One hundred for each of the two types.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Xuan subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
“Uh… Okay, okay.”
Two hundred talismans?
And to prepare two hundred talismans first?
Even though he had been the pavilion master of the star-picking pavilion of Green Mountain City for many years, he had never experienced so many surprises like today.
What did two hundred talismans mean?
A talisman for the completed Foundation Establishment Stage was worth about one hundred spirit stones, which was considered very expensive. The attack and defense talismans were equivalent to the full-strength attack and defense of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
It was already good enough for an ordinary cultivator to keep two talismans on him. The disciples of the aristocratic families in Green Mountain City usually had at most ten talismans with them.
He had managed the star-picking pavilion for so long, and there were only around 200 completed Foundation Establishment Stage talismans in total. Yet, this Young Master Gu had almost bought them all in one go.
Although he still had the Core Formation Stage and a small amount of Golden Core Stage talismans, the star-picking pavilion’s inventory of talismans could be said to have been cleared by quite a bit.
If the person who had spoken wasn’t Young Master Gu, who had come over with medicinal pills, then he had some doubts as to whether the other party would be able to pay this sum of money.
But before his thoughts were over, he heard another voice:
“The yellow-rank top-grade defensive spiritual tools on the inventory list, choose ten of the best ones to keep on hand.”
Hiss.
Ten… Ten?
A yellow-rank spiritual tool that cost at least five thousand spirit stones, and he was asking for ten?
And they were all defensive spiritual tools.

The inventory of his star-picking pavilion’s defensive spiritual tools was emptied at one go.
As expected.
The vision of the disciple of the Alchemy Master was indeed different from those rogue cultivators.
One yellow-rank spiritual tool from those itinerant cultivators was enough for them to fight for it with all their might.
“Alright, I’ll send someone to fetch it for you right away.”
Sikong Xuan nodded his head, indicating for the beautiful maid who had just been transferred to come in from outside the door and make the arrangements.
With these ultimate medicinal pills, he was completely not worried that he would suffer a loss in this transaction.
“Mm.”
Lu Ming nodded his head lightly.
However, after flipping through a few pages of the catalogue, he felt that there were quite a few spiritual treasures in it.
Therefore, he stood up and said, “Since there are still four hours before the auction, I’ll slowly flip through it later.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange a private room for you to rest on the fourth floor.”
Seeing this, Sikong Xuan also quickly stood up. He allocated a very elegant and quiet private room for Lu Ming and said to him at the same time, “Young Master Gu, you can rest here for a while.”
“When the auction begins, I’ll come to find you and bring you all the spiritual tools and talismans that you’ve taken a fancy to.” “Okay.”
Lu Ming nodded.
Then, after he coldly refused the beautiful maid to serve him, Sikong Xuan gently closed the door and left.
Lu Ming finally had some time to himself.
After confirming that there were no problems with the surrounding restrictions and that they could be controlled through the token in the room, he put away his cold expression.
He lazily sat on the armchair in the room.
At the same time, he began to think about what he was going to do next.
The first thing was to confirm what he had his eyes on during the auction.
He was not able to leave the sect frequently, so this time he had to buy more spiritual tools and talismans to increase his combat power and ensure his safety.
The items on the inventory list just now were not the ones he was interested in.
The most important items were still in the auction.
At the same time, before he left, he still needed to buy some Rank 1 and Rank 2 medicinal materials.
Ultimately, after he gave the order, his senior brother, Gu Zecang, would sooner or later promote his alchemy skills on the Pill Peak.
After successfully promoting it, he would combine it with his current alchemy value.
His alchemy skill level should be able to rise to the level of a Rank 2 alchemist after some time.
Meanwhile, he would also be able to carry out five system lottery draws. This was the most important thing.
Just the scientific alchemy techniques for newcomers had brought him huge benefits. Then, the value of other things would not be bad.
If he could extend the time he spent outside the sect to eight or ten years, by then he could improve his cultivation state.
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, outside the star-picking pavilion, two people came to the auction house under the guidance of a maid.
As they had suppressed their cultivation state to the Qi Condensation Stage and were not from the clans of Green Mountain City or famous free-travelling cultivators, they were only arranged to stay on the first floor.
After activating the only soundproof barrier in the room, one of them, an extremely tall man, said, “Batu, since the news is confirmed to be true, if there is a marrow cleansing pill with a 100% completion rate in tonight’s auction, then we might have to make a move.”
Batu, the other man with average height and appearance, nodded and said, “Yes, we must find an opportunity to make a move.” “The biggest reason why the barbarians have been procrastinating and not cooperating is because of the cultivation aptitude of their barbarians’ young master.” “If the two of us can snatch three marrow cleansing pills, our race will be able to cooperate with the barbarians and attack the Central Region in one fell swoop.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the thin and tall man, Yelulan, nodded.
“That’s right. In that case, our race won’t have to lure and drive these people with inferior bloodlines again and again.”
“I often come into contact with them. I feel that my bloodline is dirty.” After making the plan, the voices of the two slowly disappeared into the restriction in the room.
Four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The star-picking pavilion auction was about to begin!
