Chapter 1218: Chapter 1218

The Witch ignored the reminder from Tian Wu.

Chen Sansi did not say much either, simply leading the group to the auction.

Following the address provided by the Wang Family’s shopkeeper, they arrived at the entrance of a temple outside the workshop.

This temple is named "Pu Jue Temple," a branch of Vajra Temple, occupying a small area, yet frequently visited by pilgrims.

Inside the temple’s main hall, what is worshiped is not a real deity but an Elder of Vajra Temple, with the Dharma name Pu Jue.

Chen Sansi and his companions used the excuse of following a vegetarian diet for spiritual cultivation to temporarily stay in the temple’s guest rooms located in the back courtyard.

As honored guests, they were arranged to stay in a top-notch third-grade Cave Mansion.

Not missing any opportunity to improve himself, Chen Sansi lifted his long spear and began practicing the Dragon Scripture.

The Glazed Gold Body Realm originates from the Buddha.

At that moment, practicing within the temple, feeling the incense permeating the world, greatly benefitted his cultivation.

It was a pity that many battles awaited him; otherwise, staying a few years could have been a splendid choice.

After cultivating until midnight, a monk gently knocked on the door, and he reluctantly put down the long spear.

The monk clasped his hands, speaking in a calm tone: "Have you come to partake in the night-time meditation?"

Chen Sansi presented a bronze token.

After a careful inspection, the monk returned the token, gesturing: "Benefactors, please follow the humble monk."

The group reached a side hall.

The monk gently rotated the incense burner on the altar.

Soon after, the Buddha statue behind shifted aside, revealing a mini Transmission Array hidden beneath.

"With your token, you can activate the Transmission Array."

The monk explained: "Upon arrival, someone will naturally come to greet you."

"Thank you, young master."

Expressing his gratitude, Chen Sansi activated the Transmission Array with the Witch.

The familiar dizziness of teleportation ensued.

Once they were on solid ground, they found themselves in a different realm.

was the interior of a pavilion.

The blue bricks beneath Chen Sansi’s feet rippled like water; instinctively stepping back, he looked up to find the world inverted!

The elaborately carved nine-story pavilion hung down from the dome, countless compartments like inverted beehives, layering deep into the earth’s heart.

Chen Sansi deduced that the entire construction was likely built using Spell, further embedded with some sort of Illusion Technique Formation within.

"Two Daoist friends."

A sweet-faced maid appeared, bowing slightly: "Please present your tokens."

Chen Sansi handed over the token, and the maid offered each a mask before leading them to the Transmission Array at the center of the pavilion’s ground floor, transporting them straight into a compartment.

The compartment was not large, approximately three zhang square, but beautifully arranged, with exquisite Spirit Wood Table and Chairs, a Flowing Tea Plate, and a window view overlooking the suspended auction platform.

"Once the auction begins, both Daoist friends can bid directly. Upon conclusion, go to the main building to complete transactions and leave through the back door."

The maid said, "All Daoist friends’ identities are kept confidential, and no violent acts like robbing or fighting are permitted within a fifty li radius, so you may participate with peace of mind. I’ll be waiting outside, so feel free to call me if needed."

With those words, she elegantly exited the room.

Chen Sansi poured himself some tea, savoring the calming Buddha tea while quietly observing the situation outside.

After about half an incense stick of time, the auction formally commenced.

A middle-aged cultivator took the stage, speaking loudly: "Welcome, Daoist friends, to the Baihua Pavilion auction. Since you are all regular patrons, I’ll keep it brief.

"Let’s bring up today’s first item.

"A millennium-old Blood Soul Demon Ginseng!

"Priced at one thousand two hundred Spirit Stones!

This auction indeed featured many treasures.

Numerous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures exceeded the typical market age.

For Chen Sansi, it was unnecessary.

He only needed a seed or sapling to take back to the Floral Medicine Palace for his adopted daughter to nurture, saving unnecessary expenditure.

Chen Sansi rarely bought anything, mostly just watching the show.

It was the person in the opposite pavilion’s "Ninety-Eight" compartment who was quite lavish, quickly purchasing several items.

This provoked much discussion among the cultivators in the various compartments, speculating about which lineage or family of the Xie Yue Dao the person hailed from.

Chen Sansi continued to wait, finally nearing the auction’s end, anticipating what he desired.

"Next is our second-to-last item, a two-thousand-eight-hundred-year-old Brahma Heaven Twin Vine!"

The middle-aged cultivator revealed a Wooden Box, and upon gently opening it, inside lay a purple vine, squirming like a small snake, Buddhist scripts like carvings adorned its surface.

"The Brahma Heaven Twin Vine only grows in rich incense and Spiritual Energy environments, requiring constant chanting for its spiritual wisdom to develop, breaking the two-thousand-year barrier, recognized as a rarity. Thıs text ıs hosted at NoveI~Fire.net

"Refining it into a ’Wisdom Spirit Pill’ greatly enhances the body’s incense absorption efficiency, akin to improving one’s qualification!

"Turning it into a ’Brahma Pattern Body Pill’ assists Martial Artists in the Glazed Gold Body Realm to break through swiftly.
