Chapter 1412: Chapter 1175: Black Goods

Li Zhirui naturally knew that the other party could profit from this, but he had to admit that, as a local who had been inhabiting this place for many years, the recommended rental cave mansion was very good in all aspects.

So much so that when the service ended, he gave another bottle of a less expensive precious pill.

"Thank you, senior! If there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to contact me."

The person was overjoyed and quickly handed out a communication talisman, saying: "In half a year, a grand auction will be held in Purple Stone State. If you wish to attend, I can find a way to get you a regular ticket."

Li Zhirui raised an eyebrow and gave him a meaningful look. He had heard of the Purple Stone Auction, knowing it was one of the most famous auctions in the East Continent, characterized by the appearance of a large number of spiritual objects unfit for public sale, commonly known as black goods.

Moreover, the level of secrecy and security was extremely high. Over so many years, there had hardly been any rumors of successful ambushes, murders, or treasure snatching.

It is said to be because the auction site is arranged with a special great array that conceals fortune and delays temporal perception, with many secret exits.

Due to these special characteristics, entering the Purple Stone Auction requires a ticket.

And an ordinary broker can actually get an entrance ticket, it seemed Li Zhirui had underestimated him.

"Just as I was thinking of witnessing the renowned Purple Stone Auction, tell me what you need, and I’ll provide it."

Li Zhirui originally had no such intention, as he was not sure of the auction’s timing, but since he stumbled upon it conveniently, without spending much effort, he naturally wanted to take a look.

"By the way, could you help collect some information about the Three Spirit State?"

Zhang San’s smile became even more radiant, even if he doesn’t profit much in the process, the invisible gains would be enormous, as he said: "I’ll inquire first and come back in a few days to bother the senior."

"Alright."

After seeing him off, Li Zhirui rearranged a formation in the cave mansion, then took a rest, planning to sort through his gains during the days Zhang San worked on the ticket.

On his journey, he encountered plenty of sceneries and things that provided him with some aid in his cultivation.

Although rare, once cultivation reaches a certain height, it becomes a slow accumulation process, akin to underground cicadas taking years to ’see the light of day’, high-level creatures have a similar process, only stretched over tens, even hundreds of times longer.

Moreover, during this period, Li Zhirui’s gains could be considered abundant. He recognized the shortcomings in his methods, improved his mentality, had breakthroughs in his mental state, and loosened bottlenecks.

What he was doing was integrating these gains to transform them into steps towards a higher and farther path.

...

A few days later, Zhang San visited again.

The moment he saw Li Zhirui, he couldn’t help but report the good news, saying: "Senior, I successfully got you a ticket. It only requires you to pay three bottles of seventh-rank low-grade precious pills."

In terms of Spirit Stones, this price wasn’t low!

However, for Li Zhirui, it was not much, so he didn’t bother with the details, directly taking out four bottles of precious pills and handing them to Zhang San, with the extra one being a reward for his hard work.

With such great earnings, Zhang San naturally left joyfully, promising to deliver the ticket in the afternoon.

In actuality, it didn’t even take until the afternoon, just over an hour later, he brought the ticket along.

"Thank you for your effort."

After confirming there was no issue, Li Zhirui nodded with satisfaction, saying: "If I have any other needs, I will contact you immediately."

"Thank you for this opportunity, senior. Whatever you need in the future, I will handle it first." Zhang San quickly promised, unwilling to lose this generous high-level alchemy master.

"Alright."

In reality, having obtained the ticket and detailed information on the Three Spirit State, Li Zhirui no longer needed him.

Additionally, Li Zhirui planned to explore for a while after learning about the Three Spirit State, then return before the auction began.

After seeing him off, he turned back to the quiet room, sat on the meditation mat, and examined the few jade slips brought by Zhang San, in which detailed records of power distribution in the Three Spirit State, potential dangers, types of rare spiritual objects, etc., were noted.

Li Zhirui memorized all these contents and rapidly chose a place for the next half-year, called the Luoxia Mountain Range, which lay at the boundary between the Devil Race and the Immortal Tao.

If someone isn’t daring enough, nearby there are places to find spiritual objects or fight devil beasts. Alternatively, one may choose to enter the territory of the Devil Race, where due to their ferocity, they attack cultivators of the same rank upon sight.

If unable to quickly escape, one might fall into the siege of many devil beasts, the fate that many cultivators met.

After a silent night, in the early morning, Li Zhirui left the Immortal City, heading straight for the Luoxia Mountain Range.

"Fellow Daoist, seeing you are of Mahayana cultivation, you must be here to seek the opportunity to break through into the Immortal Realm. Why not join forces for mutual assistance, not only for added safety but perhaps for greater gains?" The moment he landed, a Great Vehicle Cultivator greeted him warmly.

"That’s great, having a fellow Daoist as company, I believe we will surely return safely, shall we set off now?"
