Evil Dao Xiuxian: I can giantize elixirs and exotic beasts

Chapter 148 Ant Colony Condition 3

"The following is an extraordinary treasure. I believe many fellow Taoists and seniors came to this auction because they heard about this item."

"Okay, enough nonsense. Here's the Black Marrow Crystal! Three ounces! Starting price: 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. Bid as you wish!"

The old auctioneer excitedly took out a black crystal the size of a fingernail, and instantly a stream of spiritual consciousness rushed towards it.

"It really is Black Marrow Crystal!"

"Three ounces of black marrow crystal are enough to upgrade the magic weapon to a mid-grade level!"

"I thought it was just a few coins, but I didn't expect it to be three taels. If that's the case, I'm afraid the spirit stones I have on me now won't be enough!"

"..."

Many people at the scene had flushed faces like the old auctioneer, especially the cultivators in the Pihai Realm, who were scrutinizing each other one by one, because apart from themselves, other cultivators in the Pihai Realm were their competitors.

"Well, we finally got to the Black Marrow Crystal!"

Xu Yang's wandering thoughts were brought back by the lively scene. The three or two black crystals on the stage naturally came from him.

In the past six months, he had spent spirit stones like water, and even though Xu Yang was rich, he could not afford it.

The power of the evil way is used ten times a day, all of which is used to enlarge treasures such as golden scale fruits and soul-absorbing bamboo to feed the soul-eating ants. However, the power of the evil way is limited every day, so most soul-eating ants can only eat ordinary spiritual objects.

As a result, the consumption was terrifying, almost emptying Xu Yang's spirit stone reserves.

But the gains are equally great.

After such a long time, the army of soul-eating ants has already changed again.

Soul-bound Soul-Eating Ant Swarm status:

The fifth level of the Sea-Opening Realm, one.

There are thirty-three of them in the first level of the Sea-Opening Realm.

There are sixty-six Daotai realms in the seventh level.

Common Soul-Eating Ant status:

There are two hundred soul-eating ants at the fifth level of Daotai Realm.

There are eight hundred soul-eating ants on the second level of Daotai Realm.

There are nine thousand soul-eating ants in the ninth level of the Soul-Yuan Realm.

"There are over thirty Soul-Eating Ants in the Sea-Breaking Realm, but this is the result of reducing the rations of ordinary Soul-Eating Ants. If we want to quickly increase the Soul-Eating Ant army, it is unrealistic to rely solely on the power of the evil way to giantize spiritual materials and precious medicines ten times a day."

"The Paradise Palace's Blissful Elixir... Unfortunately, according to Senior Sister, the production of the Blissful Elixir isn't very high. It only comes out once every two hundred years, and only a few dozen pills at a time."

During the past six months, apart from enjoying the pleasure of love with the peerless beauty Gu Leying every day, Xu Yang spent the rest of his time practicing and improving his cultivation, trying to reach the Sea-Splitting Realm as soon as possible.

However, even though he had improved his spiritual roots with the Five-Colored Clear Pill, and his cultivation speed was no slower than that of a person with three top-grade spiritual roots, and he had the support of a high-level cave and high-level spiritual medicines, it still took him five years to advance to the third level of the Daotai realm.

"Cultivating immortals is a heaven-defying endeavor. The road ahead is truly arduous and difficult. However, when I think about those ordinary cultivators who are still struggling for resources, while I possess the natural talent of the evil path, an army of soul-devouring ants, and the Ghost King's World Map, I feel a bit overconfident..."

Xu Yang quietly calmed his mind and got rid of the restlessness and anxiety in his heart.

It only takes five years to advance from the second level of Daotai Realm to the third level of Daotai Realm. If it were other ordinary cultivators, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.

"Seven hundred and ninety thousand spirit stones!"

"Seven hundred and ninety-five thousand spirit stones!"

"Increase the price by 5,000?! Fellow Daoist Jin Rong, that's not possible. 830,000!"

When Xu Yang's thoughts were distracted again, the competition for the black marrow crystal had reached a fever pitch, and now there were only four people still bidding.

One of them was the tall and thin young man who had just helped Xu Yang to lower the price. His name was Jin Rong and he was also the strongest alchemist in Honghefang, with the cultivation level of the third level of Pihai Realm.

One of them was a handsome white-faced man wearing an indigo robe. The word "Wanfa" was embroidered on his shoulder. It was obvious that he came from the Wanfa Pavilion, a super power that spanned multiple continents of immortal cultivation.

One was a female cultivator from the Baihua Sect wearing a pink veil. She was at the fourth level of the Pihai Realm and had the highest cultivation level among all the cultivators bidding.

The last one was a burly man wearing a concealing cloak, with a faint black mist lingering all over his body. He exuded the aura of the third level of the Sea-Splitting Realm, and it was impossible to tell from his attire which force he came from.

"Eight hundred and thirty thousand...Mr. Zhang is extremely wealthy, I cannot compare to him."

The tall and thin young man, Jin Rong, showed a bitter smile. He had tried his best to raise spirit stones for this auction, but he had just collected 800,000 spirit stones.

Master Zhang from Wanfa Pavilion asked for 830,000, and Jin Rong was no longer able to fight for it.

"Eight hundred and forty thousand!"

There was a hint of hesitation in the beautiful eyes of the Baihua Sect female cultivator, but after thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and spoke.

As the Divine Rat Cult is causing chaos, if one can upgrade one's own life-defining magic weapon, the benefits will be far greater than usual, and the ability to protect one's life will be greatly increased.

Others may not know, but as the powerful elder of Baihua Sect, Zhao Hongshuang has received very accurate information. Since the Divine Rat Sect started to devour the spiritual realms in all directions from Zhengyang Sect, there have been as many as twenty-seven Pihai Realm cultivators who have fallen!

Most of the territory of the neighboring Xu State has been conquered by the Divine Rat Cult. Currently, Qi State is adjacent to Xu State. Although Honghefang is not the border defense line of Qi State, considering the fierce offensive of the Divine Rat Cult, it will take at most three to five years for them to reach here.

If any unusual changes occur, this time will be greatly advanced, so we must prepare early.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand." Master Zhang from Wanfa Pavilion bowed to Zhao Hongshuang from Baihua Sect, with a smile in his eyes but no words, while he kept bidding.

"Eight hundred and ninety thousand spirit stones, and I will pay all with medium-grade spirit stones!" The burly man in the black cloak stood up and made the offer in a muffled voice.

As soon as the words fell, you could hear a pin drop, and then the whole hall was filled with whispers. The other party specifically asked to use medium-grade spirit stones for settlement, which was obviously to show that he was not short of money.

Many cultivators gave inexplicable looks to the big man in the black cloak who stood up. This hidden guy probably did not come from any big force, but his cultivation level of the third level of the Sea Breaking Realm could not be underestimated. Some of his powerful men and gangs of cultivators were secretly planning to rob him.

The result was indeed as expected. The big man in the black cloak was indeed rich and powerful. He suppressed Master Zhang of Wanfa Pavilion and Elder Zhao Hongshuang of Baihua Sect, and finally successfully bought the black marrow crystal for 1.03 million spirit stones.

Even if we use medium-grade spirit stones to settle the bill, there are a total of 10,100 pieces.

When the burly man in the black cloak took out enough mid-grade spirit stones to settle the bill and took away the black marrow crystal, he turned around and left the auction house.

Soon, many monks disappeared from the hall, following closely behind him, as money could tempt people.
