Because of the unique nature of his perfectly refined golden core, Lu Qing could only create his own cultivation techniques.
Over the years, he has relied on the many cultivation techniques he has mastered, as well as the Golden Core Dao chapter bestowed upon him by the Heavenly Dao when he underwent his tribulation.
With the help of his supernatural abilities, he deduced the cultivation method most suitable for him 【Perfect Golden Core Method】.
However, creating one's own deduction technique is not a simple matter.
It requires a large number of techniques as references, which can be combined and inspire creativity.
Although his supernatural abilities were incredibly powerful, Lu Qing's mastery of cultivation techniques was ultimately limited, and the vast majority of them were acquired from his home world.
Therefore, in the end, he could only push the 【Perfect Golden Elixir Method】 to the sixth level before he could go no further.
Now that he has seen these Golden Core Realm cultivation techniques, if he were to acquire them all, he might be able to deduce the seventh stage of the 【Perfect Golden Core Technique】.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing immediately told the shopkeeper that he wanted to buy all the Golden Core level cultivation techniques in the shop.
"Sir, would you like to purchase all these Golden Core level cultivation techniques?"
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise.
Even the Five Treasures Taoist was taken aback.
“That’s right, for such a large transaction, you’ll have to give me a discount,” Lu Qing said with a smile.
"Of course, of course!"
Once the shopkeeper was certain that Lu Qing was indeed going to buy all the Golden Core level cultivation techniques in the shop, he immediately beamed with joy.
Just as Lu Qing said, this is a big deal, and if it goes well, he can also get a generous reward.
Immediately, the shopkeeper took out a jade abacus and began to calculate rapidly.
He quickly calculated a number and showed it to Lu Qing.
"Sir, do you think this price is reasonable? I've already given you a 10% discount."
Lu Qing glanced at it and, seeing that the price was within his expectations, didn't bother to argue further.
She nodded slightly: "Okay."
The shopkeeper immediately beamed with joy: "Would you like to pay now, sir?"
"Hmm, take a look and see if there's enough here."
Lu Qing took out a bag and poured out the spirit stones inside.
A small pile of mid-grade spirit stones was placed together, their shimmering light dazzling even to the shopkeeper.
"Enough! Enough!"
After taking inventory, the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, feeling even happier.
Lu Qing paid with mid-grade spirit stones, which were worth more than their actual value.
"I will fetch the cultivation technique for you right now, sir."
The shopkeeper immediately went to the shelf where the Golden Core level cultivation techniques were placed, took out a jade talisman, and then performed more than ten hand seals.
After some effort, the array on the shelf was finally deactivated, and the jade slip inside was retrieved.
"Sir, please check if all of these are Golden Core level cultivation techniques. Otherwise, we will not be responsible for any problems that arise after you leave our shop."
Lu Qing took the jade slip and began to examine it.
Actually, before he decided to buy it, he had already used his special ability to check it, and the floating notes all showed that there were basically no problems.
However, the information revealed by supernatural abilities is still limited, so it's safer to check it in person.
This classic text is the highest level of cultivation technique, although it is only at the Golden Core level.
What's rare is that most of them are able to cultivate to the peak of the Golden Core realm.
The few remaining techniques are all methods that can be cultivated to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
It is evident that all the techniques displayed here are of the highest quality.
After checking, Lu Qing found nothing amiss.
Even if there really is a problem, he always uses his special abilities to cultivate when he comprehends it, so there's no need to worry about any hidden tricks involved.
Moreover, he believed that since Daodianju dared to open its doors to sell cultivation techniques and had been able to coexist peacefully, it shouldn't be so despicable.
Otherwise, the shop would probably have been smashed up long ago.
Tian Shu City is indeed powerful, but among the cultivators who travel to and from Tian Shu Divine Mountain, there are also many hidden talents.
Who knows what kind of incredible background someone might have?
Therefore, Lu Qing nodded: "It's fine, there's no problem."
"Then these cultivation techniques are yours, sir," the shopkeeper said respectfully. "Furthermore, please rest assured, sir, all the cultivation techniques sold in our shop are of legitimate origin and will not cause you any trouble. You can cultivate with peace of mind."
After Lu Qing put away all the cultivation techniques and left the Daoist Scripture Residence, the Five-Star Daoist finally couldn't help but ask, "What does Fellow Daoist Chen need so many Golden Core cultivation techniques for?"
In the eyes of the Five Treasures Taoist, Lu Qing was quite mysterious, and even the disciples of the Qiankun Sect respected him greatly.
His background must be quite extraordinary.
Such a person must have an extraordinary cultivation method, so why would they be so interested in cultivation methods that only have the Golden Core realm as their upper limit?
"It's just a small hobby," Lu Qing said with a smile. "I've always had a penchant for collecting cultivation techniques. If you have any extra Golden Core level techniques, Daoist, you can sell them to me."
"A small hobby..."
The Five Treasures Taoist priest couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
The amount of spirit stones that Lu Qing spent on purchasing the cultivation technique was no small sum.
It seems that this fellow Daoist Chen has quite the impressive wealth.
First came treasures of unknown purpose, then a Golden Core level cultivation technique.
None of these items seemed to be of much use to experts of their caliber, yet he bought them all with lavish spending.
No wonder this person looked so excited when they heard about the auction.
It seems that this person's mentality is different from mine, who just wants to watch the excitement; he actually has the ability to participate in the auction.
"Clang! Clang clang..."
Just as the Five Treasures Taoist was surprised, a long, resonant bell rang out from the mountaintop.
Its sound was so far-reaching that it could be heard hundreds of miles away.
"The auction is about to begin! Fellow Daoist Chen, let's hurry up and go up."
Upon hearing the bell, the Five Treasures Taoist immediately spoke.
"Are we about to begin?"
Lu Qing looked up at the mountaintop.
Many cultivators were seen {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} hurrying up the mountain.
When he and the Five Treasures Taoist reached the mountaintop, they saw that many cultivators had already gathered in front of the huge building, waiting to go inside.
The two of them were already considered to be relatively late.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, I have found out that in order to enter the auction, you must first pay a deposit of one thousand low-grade spirit stones."
This thousand spirit stones was just a preventative measure to prevent anyone from going in and bidding wildly.
They will return it to us when we come out.
There are also two types of seats once you go inside.
One type is in the hall, where there are many people and everyone can see each other.
Another option is a private VIP room.
Not only are there many magic arrays set up inside, but they can also prevent others from spying on it.
After winning the bid, you can have Tian Shu City deliver the item directly to you, without having to wait until the auction ends to collect it.
However, VIP rooms are not so easy to obtain.
Generally, only those with a powerful Nascent Soul stage, or those with extraordinary backgrounds and astonishing wealth, are qualified to enter.
The Five Treasures Taoist priest gradually informed Lu Qing of the information he had gathered.
"Then what exactly constitutes astonishing wealth?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow.
"According to the information provided by Tian Shu City, one needs at least 100,000 low-grade spirit stones to barely qualify for entry into the VIP room."
"Is that so..." Lu Qing understood.
The two were in line, and when it was their turn, a young woman at the peak of the Foundation Establishment realm respectfully ushered them into a room.
Inside the room stood an elderly man, looking at them with a warm and gentle expression.
However, when Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist saw the old man, they were both startled.
The faint aura emanating from the old man told them that he was a powerful being at the Nascent Soul Realm!
"Fellow Daoists, would you like to enter the lobby on the first floor or the VIP rooms on the second floor?"
The Five Treasures Taoist immediately looked at Lu Qing.
If he were alone, he would definitely choose to go to the lobby on the first floor.
But remembering Lu Qing's earlier expression, he didn't speak first.
Lu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Let's choose a VIP room."
"oh?"
The old man looked at Lu Qing with some surprise.
He hadn't expected that this young man, whose cultivation was average and whose clothes were simple, would make such a choice.
However, having weathered countless storms, this incident only surprised him slightly, and he quickly regained his composure.
"Then you should know the rules, right?"
"You need 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, is that right?" Lu Qing casually took out a brocade box, opened it, and said, "Here is 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Please take a look, senior."
Looking at the neatly arranged mid-grade spirit stones in the brocade box, not only did the Five Treasures Taoist's mouth slightly open, but even the old man's gaze shifted slightly.
He then took out two jade tablets and presented them to Lu Qing and the other person.
He smiled and said, "The number is not a problem. This is the jade token for room number nineteen. As long as you have the jade token, you can enter through that teleportation array."
If you see any treasures you fancy, you can use the jade token to state your desired price.
Following the old man's gaze, Lu Qing and the other man noticed a small teleportation array in the corner that was faintly glowing, and they were both slightly startled.
Lu Qing thought to himself, "As expected of Tian Shu City, even entering the auction requires the use of a teleportation array."
However, this way, he could also deceive others, which suited his purposes perfectly.
"Thank you, senior."
The two respectfully accepted the jade token, then walked to the small teleportation array. The next moment, they vanished from the room in a flash.
"Interesting young people."
After watching Lu Qing and his companion disappear, the old man chuckled softly and prepared to greet the guests who followed.
"This is the VIP room?"
With a flash of light, Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist appeared in a spacious room.
The interior is simply and elegantly decorated, and there is a calming incense burning, creating a sense of comfort.
Moreover, through the array within the room, the two could also clearly see the situation outside.
Below them was a huge hall, almost entirely filled with cultivators.
Their location was surrounded by rooms, but because they were all concealed by arrays, it was impossible to see what was inside.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ye and the others have come to participate in this auction."
A thought suddenly came to Lu Qing's mind.
He did not see Ye Qingzhu and the others in the hall below.
However, remembering that Ye Qingzhu had once said that their senior brother was in Tian Shu City.
That person is a Nascent Soul Realm expert; it's likely that even disciples of the Qiankun Sect are present at this auction.
He probably entered the VIP room just like him.
"Senior sister, do you think Brother Chen and the others might also be at this auction?"
Just as Lu Qing was thinking about Ye Qingzhu and the others, in a room opposite him, engraved with the character "Tian" (天), someone else was also thinking about him.
"I don't know." Ye Qingzhu shook her head in response to Chu Xiaojing's question. "Fellow Daoist Chen's actions have always been unpredictable and hard to fathom. How could we possibly guess?"
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Chen's actions are quite unpredictable."
Zi Xiao, dressed in purple, nodded in agreement.
"Is the Fellow Daoist Chen you're talking about the one who rescued you from Li Motian's clutches?"
At that moment, a gentle voice, as warm and melodious as a pearl, suddenly came from the side.
"Yes, senior brother, if it weren't for Brother Chen, we would all have died at the hands of Li Motian!"
That evil spirit even falsely accused you, Senior Brother, of murdering his family back then. It's utterly despicable.
If Brother Chen hadn't shown up just in time, we might never have seen you again, Senior Brother!
Chu Xiaojing complained to a young man with a refined and elegant demeanor, dressed in a light blue-white robe.
It turned out that this person was none other than Qian Lingxiao, the senior disciple of the Qiankun Sect.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's expression changed slightly.
"I never expected that Mo Tian would go astray and fall into the demonic path." Qian Lingxiao sighed. "This is my fault as the senior brother. If we had discovered the clues earlier, we might have been able to pull him back before he fell into the demonic path."
“How can you blame yourself, Senior Brother!” Chu Xiaojing immediately said, “Master said that those who fall into the demonic path are incurable evil demons. Even if you, Senior Brother, noticed it, it would probably be difficult to pull Li Motian back to the right path.”
“This junior sister is right.”
At this moment, a young man in a black robe standing next to Qian Lingxiao spoke with a smile.
“Demons are all extremely evil people, and there is no possibility of redemption. Since they have already fallen into the demonic path, they should be completely eliminated. There is no need to waste time on them.”
“Senior Gongshu is right. Senior Brother doesn’t need to waste his energy on a mere demon,” Ye Qingzhu suddenly said.
"That's true, but he's still a fellow disciple we've known for a long time. We shouldn't give up on him as long as there's even the slightest chance," Qian Lingxiao sighed.
"Brother Lingxiao, you are too sentimental. You will probably suffer because of this in the future," Gongshu Zheng warned.
Qian Lingxiao shook his head and sighed again.
The other disciples of the Qiankun Sect were deeply moved by their senior brother's strong sense of loyalty and righteousness.
"In the end, it's because I, as the senior brother, didn't do a good enough job that you were put in danger. Fortunately, that Fellow Daoist Chen saved you."
"If there's a chance in the future, please introduce me to him so I can thank him in person on behalf of the sect."
"Yes, Senior Brother!" Chu Xiaojing replied happily.
Only Ye Qingzhu's expression changed slightly before returning to normal.
Lu Qing was unaware that he had already caught the eye of the senior disciple of the Qiankun Sect, who was still observing the people below.
Since they were among the last batch of monks to arrive.
So shortly after entering the room, it was announced that the auction had officially begun.
On the tall, prominent jade platform in the hall below, a figure suddenly appeared, and an aura emanated from him.
The once noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
The reason was that the figure that appeared was none other than a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
