Capture and take over the foundation

  Thank you very much for the reward and update tickets from cat! Today, I'll deliver 6,000 words of updates. Must get these two update tickets!

  Also thanks for the hidden evaluation votes, and I'll say this weakly: the current evaluation index of this book is 6, which means it's considered trash among the many on the starting point. This is really frustrating, so I'm begging for evaluation votes - if anyone has them, please help vote a 10 to pull up the index! If that happens, there will be three updates tomorrow.

  "Yeh City Lord, isn't this young man a son of some noble family from your Jiuxiao City?"

  In the VIP room, there was a water mirror that could clearly see what was happening outside the room. Yehe City Master and Ding Zhongren also saw Jiang taking out a large lump of gold. At this time, Ding Zhongren smiled and asked a question.

  Yehe City Master furrowed his brow and said, "In my impression, there isn't such a person in Jiuxiao City. Someone who can casually take out so much gold, if they were from Jiuxiao City, I would know something about it. The person just now used a storage bag, could he be a loose cultivator from somewhere?"

  Ding Zhongren nodded and said: "It's possible for a loose cultivator to have it, but where did his gold come from? Did he dig up a mountain of gold or something?"

  Yehe Chengzhu shook his head and said: "I think this person looks like he robbed a wealthy merchant."

  "I thought so too at first. But I just scanned his cultivation with my divine sense, and it's only the third layer of the Qi Refining stage. With such strength, he's not even a match for an ordinary warrior." Ding Zhongren smiled and said, "Let him make another move later, and we'll suppress him."

  "Hmm, okay, it's good to get in touch with him too. If he doesn't have any backing, carrying so much gold is not very safe."

  The master of Yeh City said, and the two of them exchanged a glance, hehe, and burst out laughing.

  Jiang's bold move caused a stir, and then he closed his eyes to rest. He was waiting, in his original plan, for Ding Zhongren to make a move to grab something, at which point he would heavily suppress him and snatch it away. This way, whether Ding Zhongren wanted to win him over or harm him, both of them would have the opportunity to settle their grudge, and even if he were to make a move against Ding Zhongren later, no one would think too much of it, thereby avoiding exposing the risk of the little girl.

  It turns out that both parties' ideas are surprisingly consistent, thinking of suppressing each other, but neither has made a move to sell. This left those in the middle who wanted Jiang and his company to continue making moves slightly disappointed.

  The moment of truth had finally arrived. The auctioneer's voice rang out clear and loud, "Ladies and gentlemen, the second treasure to be auctioned off tonight is... a Bu Tian Dan."

  As soon as the news of the auction of the Supplementing Heaven Pill spread, the cultivators in the audience became excited and started discussing it eagerly. When a cultivator breaks through to the next realm, if they fail, their spiritual power will backlash against their dantian, often causing damage to it. The Supplementing Heaven Pill is a medicinal pill used to repair the dantian. Although the Supplementing Heaven Pill is not an extremely precious medicinal pill, its effect is something that even high-grade pills cannot replace. Therefore, as soon as they heard that there was going to be a sale of the Supplementing Heaven Pill, the cultivators all rubbed their fists and palms together, preparing to bid for it.

  "I didn't expect my luck to be so good, I actually managed to bump into someone selling a Bu Tian Dan this time." Ding Zhongren said with a smile.

  "Haha, does Master Ding also believe in luck? I think this Supplementing Heaven Pill was already acquired by them a long time ago, and they only brought it out for auction after seeing Master Ding appear. Wait, I'll take the lead and bid on it, then give it to Master Ding as a gift." Ye Hecheng said with a smile.

  He actually guessed it right. Ding Zhongren is not only a mid-level spirit symbol master, but also has a high status in the Spirit Symbol Master Alliance. The boss behind this auction house also wants to use this Bao Tian Dan to get close to him.

  If the Bu Tian Dan is delivered directly to the door, it will weaken its own position. Instead, take this opportunity to let Ding Zhongren take a shot. After all, as a foundation-building cultivator and a mid-level spiritual symbol master, no one here should be able to outbid him. At that time, just lower the price and sell it at half price.

  Yehe City Master saw this point, so he said to replace Ding Zhongren to take it down. Otherwise, the full price of a Bu Tian Dan, even if he came out, would be painful. And Ding Zhongren also saw all this clearly, and smiled: "Then thank you first, Yehe City Master."

  All three parties had made their calculations, but no one expected someone would definitely want to intervene.

  The auctioneer knocked on the table, and the scene quickly fell silent. The auctioneer smiled: "I think everyone knows the effect of this Bu Tian Dan, it is the best elixir for repairing damaged dantian, this time the auction is mainly aimed at cultivators, so the starting price of Bu Tian Dan is 15 pieces of Ling Shi, and the minimum increase in price is two pieces of Ling Shi."

  As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the price was immediately raised frantically below:

  "Seventeen pieces of Ling Stone!"

  "Twenty pieces of Spirit Stone!"

  "Twenty pieces of Ling Stone!"

  "Twenty-five pieces of Ling Stone!"

  "Thirty pieces of spirit stone!"

  "Thirty-two pieces of Ling Stone!"

  In the blink of an eye, the auction price had already exceeded that of the Qǐ Líng Dān and was still rapidly soaring upwards.

  When Jiang He heard the auctioneer introduce the Bu Tian Dan, which could repair damaged dantians, his eyes lit up immediately. It was truly a case of "a pillow being sent to someone who is sleepy". Originally, he had planned to wait until the end of the auction and then contact the organizers to offer a reward for purchasing the medicine that could repair his dantian. He hadn't expected that there would actually be a spiritual elixir that could repair dantians appearing at this time.

  "Five hundred taels of gold!" Jiang He suddenly shouted loudly.

  At the same time, in the VIP box, another majestic voice sounded: "Fifty pieces of spirit stone!", It was Yehe City Master who made the offer. He originally wanted to wait until the cultivators' bids reached a saturation point before making an offer, but he didn't expect that the prices offered by those cultivators had already exceeded his estimated price.

  As the lord of Jiuxiao City, he didn't lack gold, but spiritual stones were extremely limited. If there weren't enough spiritual stones, using gold to make up for it would be a bit embarrassing, after all, others had offered spiritual stones. So now he spoke first, hoping that those cultivators would see his determination and not raise the price on him.

  Just as he shouted out the price of fifty pieces of spiritual stone, Jiang He also reported the price of five hundred taels of gold. These two things may have different values elsewhere or cannot be exchanged at all, but their value is equal here and now.

  As soon as Jiang reported the price of five hundred taels of gold, those Taoist priests roared with anger: "This is a dan medicine for us Taoists, what does a mortal like you have to do with it?"

  It's no wonder they can't see Jiang He's cultivation, Jiang He's physical body is too strong, the aura of his physical body overshadows the aura of his law power, and since he hasn't formed a divine sense, he can't feel the fluctuations of the law power in his dantian.

  "I'm rich, so what? Later I'll just auction off the Bu Tian Dan and eat it as a snack." Jiang He said loudly.

  "You little brat, are you looking to die? You dare to oppose so many cultivators. Any one of us can crush you like an ant!" a cultivator in his thirties shouted angrily.

  Jiang leapt up, pointing at him and bellowing: "What did you say? Do you believe that I'll take out the Bu Tian Dan later and use it to buy your head!"

  As soon as Jiang He said this, the man immediately became stupid and looked around to find that there were not a few cultivators' eyes looking at him with naked killing intent. Then when they looked at Jiang He again, it was extremely hot, as if saying, "You take the shot and send it to me, I'll help you kill that guy."

  You're ruthless! The monk shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak again. Jiang He smiled triumphantly, stuck out his tongue at him, and continued to quote:

  "Six hundred taels of gold!"

  "Six hundred and fifty taels of gold!" Ye Hecheng received.

  "A thousand taels of gold!" Jiang He continued to report.

  "1,500 taels!" The face of Yehe City's lord turned unsightly. Even if he wanted to take out that much gold, it would be somewhat difficult for him. If more were added, someone in the imperial court might impeach him for squandering public finances.

  "Three thousand two!" Jiang He casually raised the price. In his storage bag, a large amount of gold was piled up into a small golden mountain, truly treating gold as dirt, he had plenty of it.

  Yehe Chengzhu's face turned purple with rage, and he was about to send someone to kill Jiang He immediately. Just now, he had boasted loudly, but it seemed that he couldn't make it happen after all, which was really too humiliating.

  "Yeh City Master, some things don't necessarily have to be bought with money, do they? If someone else buys it and sends it over, isn't that the same?" Ding Zhongren said with a smile, patting Yeh City Master's shoulder.

  "What do you mean, Master Ding?" A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Hecheng's eyes.

  Jiang He smiled with satisfaction as he put away the Bu Tian Dan, thinking that the two people in the VIP room must be hating him to death. Just then, a sturdy man walked over and said to Jiang He, "Young master, my master has invited you to have a chat in the VIP room."

  As expected, you've finally arrived. I was worried you wouldn't show up. Jiang He sneered to himself, but his face remained nonchalant as he followed the man to the VIP room.

  Jiang He Xin was thinking about what Ding Zhong Ren and the others would say when they met, and how he should react. Should he provoke a conflict and directly discard them, forcing them to practice the puppet technique, or should he entice them to practice it themselves? However, when he arrived at the VIP room, he suddenly discovered that this was not where Ding Zhong Ren was supposed to be on vacation. Jiang He's heart skipped a beat - could it be that someone else wanted to meet him instead?

  As soon as they entered the VIP room, they found a middle-aged man with a cold expression staring at them with an unfriendly gaze. When he saw Jiang and He enter, the man waved his hand, and the muscular man who led the way immediately closed the door of the VIP room, trapping the two inside.

  The middle-aged man looked arrogant, and with a reckless attitude, he swept his divine sense over Jiang He's dantian before proudly saying: "At the third layer of the Refining Qi stage, using the Supplementing Heaven Pill is really too wasteful. Hand over the Supplementing Heaven Pill!"

  In this VIP room, there is a soundproofing system in operation, so you don't have to worry about people outside hearing the voices inside.

  "Chu Kee period repair!" Jiang He pretended to shout in terror.

  Judging from the fluctuations of this person's spiritual power, their strength is still above mine. They should be a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Could it be that this person is one of Ding Zhongren's two great guards? Ding Zhongren himself doesn't take action, but instead sends his subordinates to do so. This kind of person values their own reputation and wants to thoroughly ruin it before speaking.

  Jiang He thought to himself, but pretended to be afraid and took out the jade box. The monk nodded in satisfaction and reached out to take it. Just as their palms were about to touch, a bolt of electricity suddenly shot from the monk's hand into his entire body. The monk's strength lay in his magical powers, not his physical body. He was completely unguarded against Jiang He and was instantly paralyzed.

  That monk was shocked, and after a moment of dizziness caused by numbness, he wanted to summon the power from his Dantian, but at this time Jiang He heavily punched his Dantian.

  Jiang He's one punch was enough to penetrate his body, but Jiang He had other plans in mind and only wanted to subdue him. So the cultivator only felt a severe pain in his dantian, and was shocked by the immense force that shattered it. As soon as he moved his magic, the pain in his dantian became like being cut by a knife!
