Chapter 494 The connection with the Huang family of Ningqian City has been established.
"Senior, I have three Breakthrough Pills here. How many spirit stones would you like to know?"
Wenwen took out a pill bottle and handed it to Huang Pinxian.
"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to sell all three Breakthrough Pills to the Huang family, or do you have other requirements?"
Huang Pinxian acted in a professional manner. Although he could roughly guess the outcome, he still asked the question out of professional ethics. He couldn't disrespect the other party just because their cultivation level was low. As the old saying goes, "Don't underestimate a young man's potential."
“I hope this fellow Daoist can obtain one,” Wenwen said, pointing to the boy standing to the side.
Thanks to the boy's sudden intrusion, his prompt response to the need for help and his eagerness to sell the product had a completely different effect.
If it weren't for this young man's appearance, she wouldn't know when she would have gotten in touch with the Huang family elders.
As the saying goes, opportunity knocks but once, and there's no time like the present. The opportunity just happened to come knocking on your door.
Noticing the grateful look the boy gave them, Wen Chengbin grinned at him.
Wenwen then said, "I'd like to exchange the remaining two for some useful magical artifacts and treasures. Senior, what do you think? Is that alright?"
Huang Pinxian felt a chill run down his spine. Sure enough, he couldn't underestimate these young fellow cultivators in front of him.
Having set the tone, he began, "Perfectly acceptable. Fellow Daoists, do you have any requirements or ideas regarding magical artifacts and treasures? Please share them with us."
The three siblings looked at each other, unable to articulate their reasons. They only knew they wanted something good, but what exactly constituted "good"? Where would it manifest itself? What could people say about that?
Seeing their predicament, Huang Pinxian carefully considered his words and said, "How about I arrange a private room upstairs for you all? You can continue to look at the auction, and if you find something suitable, you can bid on it. If not, we can come here to find me after the auction, and we can discuss it further. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Wenwen thought to herself that this was indeed a good idea. When she came across an auction, she might as well listen and observe more. Whether she bought or not was secondary; it was better to understand the situation before making a move.
To put it bluntly, it's not just them; every cultivator who is growing up gradually improves their understanding of the Immortal Realm. At first, their cultivation level is low, so they stay in one room to cultivate. But when their cultivation level breaks through to a certain realm, or when they are stuck in a bottleneck and stagnate, they have to go out to travel and seek opportunities.
Although Wenwen and her group's trip was initiated by Aying, it is undeniable that this was also the best opportunity for them to travel.
Look, we've come to Ningqian City, witnessed the World Expo, obtained blue blood vine seedlings, participated in the auction, and bought some nice things. It would be great to continue exploring.
The three siblings nodded in unison, and Wen Chengjian said, "Then we'll have to trouble you, senior."
"No trouble at all. If you don't mind, young friend, you can call me Uncle Huang San."
After saying that, Huang Pinxian pointed to the silent and excited young man beside him and said, "Huan'er, quickly thank these fellow Daoists."
"Huang Yanhuan thanks you all. After the auction, I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, hehehe!" Huang Yanhuan said with a simple and honest smile.
Unexpectedly, he went to great lengths to make a scene in front of his third uncle today and actually met a kind-hearted fellow Daoist. It's truly a blessing from heaven. No matter what, he's determined to treat everyone to this meal.
As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options. These fellow Daoists all seem to be kind-hearted people. Although Huang Yanhuan may seem foolish, he considers himself to be very good at judging people. Maybe their family has an alchemist among them.
Actually, he wasn't the only one with this idea.
Huang Pinxian thought the same thing. The fact that these people could casually take out a Breakthrough Pill and act as if it were a very ordinary pill suggested that their families might have alchemists behind them.
You must understand that in the Immortal Realm, any family with an alchemist is not to be underestimated. If they can already refine Breakthrough Pills, how far are they from refining Foundation Establishment Pills? Thinking further ahead, refining Qi Condensation Pills and Dust Reduction Pills is still a possibility!
Making friends with fellow cultivators from all walks of life is Huang Pinxian's guiding principle, which is why he is very popular at the auction house.
“Alright, I’ll have someone take you to the private room on the second floor,” Huang Pinxian said.
As expected, the second half of the auction saw fierce bidding due to the availability of Breakthrough Pills and Foundation Establishment Pills.
Wenwen and her two siblings were enjoying tea and broadening their horizons in a private room on the second floor.
"Brother, is that thing down there really as scary as she says? Or is it just an exaggeration?" Wen Chengbin asked.
The booth is displaying a magical artifact, an ice spike. According to the host, this ice spike can destroy a mountain about 100 feet high, comparable to a strike from an early Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.
Wen Chengjian glanced at him. "It's exaggerated, but the power is real, right? But who would flatten a mountain for no reason? Especially with this disposable ice spike."
Wenwen swallowed the snack in her mouth and said, "Big brother is right. If you're full and have nothing better to do, why would you go up the mountain to play? Unless there's some amazing treasure in the mountains."
"Oh, that's no fun!"
The next second, Wen Chengbin suddenly had a brilliant idea, "Hey, do you guys think there are any spirit-testing discs that can detect treasures buried very deep underground? If there are, could this thing be used in conjunction with something else to make it work?"
A word to wake up the dreamer!
Second Brother's words make sense, Wenwen subconsciously glanced at the bidding below.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."
"Eighteen thousand spirit stones."
Two other people were bidding; should she join in?
As soon as he opened his mouth, his mind raced: "Twenty-eight thousand spirit stones."
Damn, the price has increased by 10,000 spirit stones in one go.
This action seemed familiar to everyone present, and they couldn't help but wonder if it was one of those spendthrift kids from earlier.
Regardless of what others thought, in the end, Wenwen and her team managed to acquire the seemingly useless ice pick.
Then, until the very end of the auction, they didn't make any more bids.
After most of the people in the venue had left, Huang Pinxian asked his staff to invite the three siblings.
Upon arriving at the house for the delivery of goods once again, Huang Pin, now understanding their needs, took out some magical artifacts and treasures that met their requirements.
Among them was the spirit-testing disc that Wen Chengbin had been longing for. However, this spirit-testing disc for detecting treasures was not of high quality and its detection range was not large. But it was better than nothing, and having it was good enough.
We now have a spirit-testing disc that can detect treasures, and of course, we also have a spirit-testing disc that can test a cultivator's spiritual root.
It must be said that the items brought out by the Huang family were of a higher level and grade than those brought out by the Chu family of Xingyu City.
It seems that the principle of people striving for higher positions and water flowing downhill applies universally!
If you have the chance, you should let your family go out and explore more. As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
However, all of this is predicated on everyone's cultivation level being higher and their self-defense capabilities being stronger. Another crucial point is that everyone needs to have a sufficient supply of spirit stones to be able to speak freely.
Therefore, the task of leading the Wen family is arduous and the road ahead is long!
In fact, when Wenwen and her siblings set off on their travels, the elders in the family had already realized this and had begun to take action!
