Chapter 1059 Gift
"Rui Zu, when do you plan to hold the ceremony?" After Li Taichang learned that Li Zhirui had come out of retreat, he came to visit him as soon as possible and asked for the opinion of the protagonist.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Li Taichang had come into close contact with Li Zhirui. Although this ancestor had not been involved in family affairs for many years, if he came forward to veto a clan leader, the clan members would definitely support him.
So Li Taichang also wanted to take this opportunity to see Li Zhirui's attitude towards him.
"You can discuss a time and tell me in advance." Li Zhirui didn't know how the family was preparing, and he didn't want to ask more. Anyway, he just needed to show up and talk about some unimportant methods at that time.
"Okay."
Li Taichang paused, took out a jade slip, and said, "Rui Zu, this is the various strategies I plan to implement in the family next, please take a look."
Li Zhirui glanced at him and saw that he looked nervous. In the end, he took it, but did not use his spiritual sense to check it. He said, "Don't be so nervous. Since many clansmen have chosen you, it means that they believe that you can lead the family to continue to develop."
"You don't need to show me these strategies in the future. You are the ones who know the various situations of the family best, but you can't be anxious about everything. You have to take it slowly."
The Li family has developed to this day, and there are already many problems inside. It's just that the inheritance time is not long enough, and it has been maintaining a high-speed development. In addition to various measures of suppression, there are no major problems.
"Of course, if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you can come to me. As long as it is beneficial to the development of the family, I will help." Li Zhirui made a promise.
"Thank you, ancestor!" Li Taichang thanked gratefully.
"We'll tell you when we come up with a time."
Li Zhirui nodded, "Just use the sound transmission talisman, no need to come in person, you're busy too."
In fact, he didn't want to come out to receive them. After all, he had to respect the clan leader on the surface.
"Yes!" Li Taichang responded and turned away.
After discussing with the elders, it was decided to set the Mahayana Ceremony one year later.
Before this, the family had already prepared a lot of spiritual objects, but some of the more expensive spiritual objects were still in the process of transportation. In addition to inviting various forces and some trivial matters, one year was quite tight.
After receiving the news, Li Zhirui only replied with an "I know", and then continued to practice quietly, occasionally helping Jiang Fengwu and others answer questions.
The family began to get busy with this matter, busy arranging the venue, and sending a large number of clansmen out to invite surrounding forces to participate.
Of course, this invitation also has a threshold, at least it must be a refining force to get an invitation.
A year passed in a flash.
In the morning of this day, the Li family opened the mountain gate and waited for various forces to come.
The first to arrive were the forces of the Refining Void, who were scrambling to get there, fearing that they would be late and offend the Li family and the combined forces.
A special person was responsible for receiving them and leading them to the venue of the ceremony.
Along the way, everyone was amazed. The spiritual energy turned into mist, pure and rich, and it seemed that a few breaths would increase the mana in the body.
From time to time, various spiritual beasts could be seen, such as the sixth-level Qingfeng White Crane and the sixth-level dragon blood spiritual beasts. Against the backdrop of the spiritual mist, they added a bit of Taoism to the Wanxian Mountain.
In the spiritual fields opened up on both sides of the avenue, various spiritual objects were planted. The higher you go, the more precious the spiritual objects are, which opened everyone's eyes and saw many spiritual objects that they had never seen before.
Not long after, everyone came to the huge square where the ceremony was held. There were cloud beds suspended in the air, and several plates of fifth-level spiritual fruits were placed on the small table for these cultivators who arrived early to eat.
"The Li family probably spent hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones on these fifth-level spiritual objects alone."
A certain cultivator was deeply moved. They could also afford so many spiritual stones, but it was impossible for them to waste them on these spiritual objects that were not very useful for cultivation.
"It is really worthy of being a Mahayana family. Even if they have just been promoted, they can still see their extraordinary qualities."
"The spiritual beasts cultivated by the Li family are also very powerful, especially those dragon-blooded spiritual beasts. Maybe the Li family has dragon beasts of higher grades."
Others also praised them. As guests, they must flatter the host family. Besides, the Li family is still their clan leader, and no one would say something that should not be said.
Although it was flattery, there was still a lot of sincerity and envy in the words.
As time went on, more and more forces came to the Grand Ceremony Square, and the originally empty cloud bed was also filled with many people.
Although their voices were low, there were too many people, and the square became particularly noisy.
Ding——
Until a crisp bell sounded from Wanxian Mountain, everyone quieted down.
Then they saw several combined cultivators from several families walking to the front of the square.
"The Li family has Mahayana, even if those combined forces have a longer heritage, they have to bow their heads now."
"Hush! Are you going to die? How dare you say such a thing? Which of those combined forces can we provoke or offend?" The cultivator on the side said hurriedly, looking around, afraid of being seen by others.
When the cloud beds in front were full of people, the clan leader Li Taichang announced the official start of the ceremony.
One by one, the cultivators came out, holding white jade trays in their hands, and covered with red silk were precious spiritual objects.
According to their cultivation level, the jade trays were placed with spiritual objects of the same level as their cultivation.
Fortunately, the number of combined monks was not very large, which really made Li Taichang and others breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that they are stingy, but the number of seventh-level spiritual objects is limited, and the Chamber of Commerce cannot produce so many at once, so the Li family's preparations are naturally not enough.
After everyone had eaten and drank, it was Li Zhirui's turn to appear.
When no one was aware, Li Zhirui appeared on the futon at the top of the pulpit, sending out a faint Mahayana pressure to calm everyone down.
A force like the Qingzhu Sect, which has been passed down for many years, could not help but change its expression when it felt the pressure, and a turmoil arose in its heart.
‘Is this really the kind of pressure that a monk who only broke through to Mahayana a few years ago can have? ’
Li Zhirui ignored everyone's reactions and didn't remind anyone. He just talked about himself. He was talking about how to break through the Void Refining Realm faster.
Although his level was a little low, at least he didn't use some magical powers or skills to fool everyone.
Moreover, even those monks who had achieved Void Refining and even achieved a breakthrough in integration were immersed in it, looking mesmerized, and seemed to have gained a lot.
After more than half an hour, Li Zhirui stopped preaching. Before anyone could react, he disappeared just as suddenly as he appeared.
Li Taichang stood up at the right time and said: "Thank you, fellow Taoists, for traveling thousands of miles to attend Ruizu's Mahayana ceremony. It is rare for everyone to gather here, so I thought of taking the opportunity to hold an auction. If you are interested in participating, , you can wait a moment.”
"This auction may be different from the ones you have participated in in the past. In addition to the auction items prepared by the family, you can also provide them. If you are interested, you can find a waiter. They will take you to a hidden place to ensure that no one else will know about it. "
The Li family had noted this matter on the invitation in advance and asked Li Zhirui himself for his opinion.
If not, Li Taichang wouldn't have the courage to do such a thing.
Therefore, as soon as Li Taichang's words came to light, many monks left the cloud bed.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the cloud bed began to move, and thick fog was produced, covering everyone to avoid revealing their identities.
"The auction officially begins now!"
What is on the market now are all auction items prepared by the Li family. Other forces are still preparing, and the Li family also needs time to appraise them.
The first spiritual object that appeared was mainly for warming up the place, so the Li family took out three bottles of the seventh-level best treasure pill.
Once introduced, the scene became very heated, with enthusiasm in the eyes of the fused monks, and the bidding prices continued to rise.
You must know that high-end top-grade treasure pills are very difficult to see in the outside world, and it can even be said that they almost never appear on the market.
The Li family now took out three bottles, and of course they were going crazy.
After a fierce bidding, three bottles of treasure pills were won by three forces at very high prices.
With a good opening, the following spiritual objects were also highly sought after, and the atmosphere gradually reached a climax.
"What is about to appear next is an eighth-level spiritual seed, which contains extremely rare space power. Although I don't know what kind of spiritual object it will be when it grows up, such a high level and rare space attributes are all It’s enough to show how extraordinary this spiritual seed is.”
The auctioneer shouted excitedly, constantly arousing the emotions of the monks in the audience, hoping that they could compete fiercely.
However, the feedback from the scene was very dull, and few monks raised their voices to bid.
After all, this is just a spiritual seed. By the time it grows up, it will be who knows how many years later, and the price is still so expensive.
But this is a great thing for the Li family!
Because if you want to carry the "Earth Spirit Taoist Record" revised by Daqing with you, the contracted spirit seed must have the power of space.
The Li family has been secretly collecting space spiritual seeds over the years, but the harvest has not been great. Seventh-level seeds are quite rare, let alone eighth-level ones.
The emergence of this eighth-level spiritual seed allowed the Li family to see a bright future in which a large number of clansmen would be born with contracted eighth-level spiritual seeds!
So Li Taichang in the audience spoke without hesitation: "Five million spiritual stones!"
One spiritual seed, five million spiritual stones, even an eighth-level spiritual seed, is already a very expensive price.
After hearing this, many monks couldn't help but show a hint of surprise and curiosity.
"Six million spiritual stones!" But the next bidding sound couldn't wait to be heard.
Li Taichang raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He understood what was going on.
It's just that a certain force discovered that the Li family was looking for a space spirit seed, and they happened to have an eighth-level spirit seed in their hands. Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money from the Li family.
And that force took advantage of this and deliberately raised the price, hoping that the Li family would buy it at a higher price and earn more spiritual stones.
But this was the purpose of Li Taichang's original plan to hold this auction!
So he didn't feel anything. Spending millions of spirit stones to buy an unknown eighth-level space spirit seed was a waste in the eyes of other forces, but for the Li family, it was a major event related to the family's future.
"Eight million spiritual stones! If fellow Taoist continues to raise the price, then I will have no choice but to give it up."
The spiritual seed is indeed important, but Li Chengsheng is not taken advantage of. This is already far more than the original price. If you are not satisfied yet, then at worst, you will send people to destroy the group of monks, and then you can get it without spending a single spiritual stone.
"Do you think the Li family is scaring us, or are they really not going to continue bidding?"
From a certain sect that had taken out the spiritual seeds, several Void Refining monks sent messages to discuss.
"It must be fake! The Li family has spent countless spiritual stones over the years, and has been looking for high-level space spiritual seeds everywhere. Now that they have finally encountered one, how can they give up easily?"
Another person shook his head and said, "I think it is very likely to be true, and don't forget that this is the Li family's territory, and the auction is held by the Li family. We can't hide our identities at all!"
"If the Li family really doesn't plan to continue bidding, then it is very likely that they are thinking of robbing directly! So I think it's better to stop while we are ahead. Anyway, this spiritual seed was obtained accidentally, and eight million spiritual stones are already a lot."
In these words, the words "robbery" immediately frightened the others, and they shut up and dared not continue to drive up the price.
During the process, no other forces intervened, and the Li family successfully won it!
The spiritual objects that came on the stage later were either carefully selected by the Li family or treasures collected by various families. Each one was sought after by many cultivators.
During this process, the Li family also bid for several precious spiritual objects that the family did not have.
Time passed quickly in the bidding, and in a blink of an eye, it was the last auction item.
When the auctioneer received the introduction, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is a well-deserved treasure! It is far more precious than all the spiritual objects before!"
These words instantly attracted the attention of all the monks.
The auctioneer lifted the red silk, and a three-inch gem appeared in everyone's sight. He said in a high and excited voice: "This is a magic weapon that controls the seventh-level secret realm!"
"What?!"
"How is this possible!"
"How can anyone be willing to auction such a precious spiritual object!"
When the original owner of the gem took it out and said he wanted to auction it, the Li family wanted to take it directly, no matter what conditions the other party offered.
However, the other party disagreed and insisted on auctioning it, and set some conditions.
It was not easy for the Li family to kill people on the spot to seize the treasure, so they had to agree to the other party.
"There is no bidding price for the seventh-level secret realm control magic weapon. As long as you are willing to enter the secret realm, clear the monsters in the secret realm, and gather at a certain place after a year, you can enter the secret realm."
"The condition is that when you leave the secret realm, you must hand over 50% of the spiritual objects. You can choose which spiritual objects to hand over, but high-level spiritual objects must account for half!"
The auctioneer continued to read: "The spiritual objects are handed over to the Li family, who will accept them on your behalf and hand them over later. After this matter, the control magic weapon will be given to the Li family for free." (End of this chapter)
