He walked along the street and looked around, but didn't buy anything.

After a while, he walked to a teahouse, stood outside and looked for a while, and then he went in.

A young waiter in the teahouse saw a customer coming in and immediately walked towards Su Ziyan.

"Sir, I wonder if you want to go to the second floor or the first floor," the waiter said to Su Ziyan with a nod and a bow. After all, Su Ziyan's cultivation was higher than his.

Su Ziyan saw that the waiter was only a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, so he didn't care. He then said calmly, "Let's go to the second floor. I wonder if you have any good tea here? Bring it up to me."

Upon hearing this, the waiter began to introduce, "The best tea in our store is Rain and Mist Tea. This tea tree is three hundred years old, and the tea leaves are picked by virgin women after the rain. The brewed tea has a light fragrance. I wonder if you would like it?"

Su Ziyan nodded and said, "Well, let's present it to the second floor."

The waiter was a little uncertain when he heard this, "Sir, this Rain Mist Tea is a bit expensive, I wonder if you still need it?"

It's not the waiter's fault, because he also saw Su Ziyan's cultivation level. Generally, cultivators of this level are not so extravagant.

Because low-level cultivators are generally very poor and do not have many spirit stones, low-level cultivators like them cannot afford to drink such good tea.

I usually drink cheaper tea and don't dare to be so extravagant.

Su Ziyan knew what the waiter was thinking after a moment's thought. He looked at the waiter and said calmly, "Just present it to me. You don't have to worry about me not being able to pay for the spiritual stones."

After saying that, Su Ziyan turned and walked towards the stairs and went up to the second floor.

After he went up to the second floor, he looked around and found that there were still quite a few people there, and almost all the seats were occupied. He searched for a while and chose a table and chair in the middle and sat down.

He was sitting there feeling bored when suddenly three monks appeared next to him and started discussing the auction.

After Su Ziyan heard this, he suddenly had an idea and started to listen carefully. He also wanted to see what these monks would be like after the auction.

"There are still many treasures in this auction. If I had enough spirit stones, I would have bought a few items back from the auction," said one of the middle-aged men in a rough voice, although his cultivation had already reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"Oh, then I wonder if Brother Ge could tell us two about what happened at the auction, so that we can understand what an auction is like." The speaker was a thin and shifty cultivator, whose cultivation level was actually the seventh level of Qi training. At this moment, he looked at the big man with burning eyes.

The last one was an old man in green. He was not excited by what the big man said. He just drank his tea calmly and listened to the two of them talking quietly.

But the one with the strongest aura of cultivation among the three is the old man in green, because the old man's cultivation is also the highest among the three, having reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

But Su Ziyan didn't care who of them had a higher cultivation level. He just wanted to hear about what happened after the auction to see if it had anything to do with him.

After all, he had finally taken out a top-grade magic weapon to exchange. If no one had any thoughts about him, even he himself would not believe it.

The big man picked up the teacup on the table with a little pride, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "There is nothing much to say about the previous ones. The most valuable ones are the last three items, the exchange of three beast eggs, magic weapon fragments and auspicious cloud wood." He paused here.

"These three treasures at the auction raised the most spiritual stones. One of them could even be exchanged for something you wouldn't expect."

The thin and shifty-looking monk was shocked and curious when he heard what the big man said.

The old man also looked at the big man with burning eyes. They didn't expect that there would be fragments of magic weapon. This was also a great shock to them.

The other two items did not surprise them. They were almost attracted by the fragments of the magic weapon. After all, they had never seen a magic weapon before.

When the shifty monk urged the big man, the big man continued, "Those three beast eggs are from a level three demon beast. As you know, a level three demon beast is equivalent to a cultivator in the Condensation Vortex Stage."

"If we had these three monsters, apart from encountering seniors in the Foundation Establishment Stage, we would have almost no rivals at our Qi Condensation Stage. And with these three powerful helpers, we could do a lot more. So the one who took away those three beast eggs would be envied for a long time."

"Then I wonder who finally took the photos of these three animal eggs?" the thin monk asked again.

The big man didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "It was bought by a senior in the Condensation Stage. But it's normal. After all, the temptation of this beast egg is not low."

The thin monk felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

The big man didn't notice the thin monk's disappointment, and continued, "The second item is a fragment of a magic weapon. Speaking of a fragment of a magic weapon, it attracted many monks to snatch it. The price rose to more than 6,000 spirit stones, and it was auctioned off by a senior in the Condensation Vortex Stage."

"The scene of the competition even scared me. Almost all the cultivators in the venue joined in the competition. The cultivators in the Qi training stage seemed not to be afraid of the seniors in the Condensation Vortex stage and also raised the price fiercely."

"However, it is a pity that there are no seniors in the Foundation Establishment Stage here, otherwise the seniors in the Condensation Stage would not have been able to get the fragments of the magic weapon."

"The last one is a bit special. It is a piece of auspicious cloud wood. I don't recognize it, but it is a bit withered. Even if it is used to make pills, it will have flaws. It is not worth much. But the owner of the auspicious cloud wood wants to use this wood to exchange for a top-grade magic weapon."

The other two were a little surprised. Who would be willing to exchange a piece of wood that was not worth much for a top-grade magic weapon? You have to know that even cultivators in the Condensation Vortex Stage regard top-grade magic weapons as treasures. Why would they exchange them?

The old man looked at the big man and said calmly, "I wonder if anyone made the swap in the end."

"How could anyone be willing to make an exchange? I definitely would not make an exchange unless I were an idiot." The skinny monk took over the conversation.

Su Ziyan was a little amused when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be called an idiot.

But come to think of it, if it were me, and I saw someone unknowingly exchanging a piece of useless wood for a top-grade magic weapon, I would also think that person was an idiot.

But in their eyes, the auspicious cloud wood is really not very useful. The pills made with it are all flawed. Who would be willing to exchange it for a top-grade magic weapon? So it would be strange if those who exchanged it were not called idiots.

But who would have known that the auspicious cloud wood, which was withered and useless in the eyes of others, could be brought back to life in his hands.

He can also use his mutated magic power to revive it. If it can grow auspicious cloud fruit at that time, then he would have made a profit.

The three people didn't know what Su Ziyan was thinking at the moment, so the big man smiled mysteriously and said, "Hey, you know what, someone really took a top-grade magic weapon to exchange. You may not believe it, but the person who took out a top-grade magic weapon to exchange was actually just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, and his cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high."

At this time, the other two were surprised again. When they heard the big man say that someone was offering a top-grade magic weapon for exchange, they thought it was a senior cultivator in the Condensation Vortex Stage. In the end, they did not expect that it was just a cultivator with Qi training level.

The old man asked doubtfully, "Fellow Daoist Ge, are you trying to deceive us? How could a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage produce a top-grade magical weapon? Even if that cultivator had a top-grade magical weapon, why would he offer it for exchange?"

The big man scratched his head a little guilty, but still replied, "It is indeed a cultivator who practices Qi. All the cultivators present at the time saw that cultivator take out a top-grade magic weapon and give it to the maid. Finally, the senior in the Condensation Stage who presided over the event said that they could exchange it. It is not difficult to see that it is a top-grade magic weapon."

The monk with shifty eyes asked in confusion, "How can a cultivator who practices Qi have a top-grade magic weapon?"

The big man could only spread his hands and said, "How can I know if you ask me this?

The other two people lowered their heads and began to think, with unknown flashes in their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking about.

The old man spoke again, "That cultivator used a top-grade magic weapon to exchange for that piece of auspicious cloud wood. Perhaps that cultivator has another top-grade magic weapon, or even a top-grade magic weapon."

"How can a cultivator who possesses such a magical weapon be in the Qi Refining Stage? Perhaps he is a high-level cultivator who has restrained his cultivation and does not want to attract other people's attention."

"Of course there may be other reasons, but I still believe that it may be that a high-level monk has gone somewhere."

Then he looked at the big man and said, "Will the other monks at the venue let him leave safely?"

The big man was a little surprised when he heard the old man say this, "No way, if he is a high-level cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, why doesn't he sit in the attic above, but sit down below?"

After hearing the old man's last question, he couldn't help but reply, "How could he leave like this? After the auction, many Taoist friends were lurking at the door of the auction."

"But I waited for a long time but didn't see the monk appear. Maybe the monk had left through another exit. I was waiting there too."

Originally, Su Ziyan wanted to laugh after hearing and watching what he said, but he couldn't laugh anymore after hearing what the big man said.

When Su Ziyan heard the big man say this, he was shocked. He was glad that he had left the auction through the back door before, otherwise he would have to stay at the entrance of the auction today.

While feeling fortunate, he also couldn't help but desire for strength.

If one's cultivation had already reached the Condensation Vortex Stage, then other cultivators would not dare to wait for him at the entrance of the auction.

From this moment on, Su Ziyan realized the importance of cultivation. He decided to intensify his practice and improve his cultivation after returning, otherwise he would not be able to control his own destiny.

After thinking about it, Su Ziyan left the teahouse and walked towards his cave. Not long after he returned to the cave, he immediately entered the training room and began to practice.

A month later, Su Ziyan came out of seclusion. It was not because he did not want to continue practicing, but because he no longer had enough elixirs for this stage.

There were only a few bottles of Yellow Dragon Pills left by Ming Daozi in the storage bag, but he planned to save these until he reached the sixth level of Qi training, so he needed to go out and continue buying some pills for use in his practice from the fifth level of Qi training onwards.

After he came out of the cave, he went down the mountain and walked towards the market.

Half an hour later, Su Ziyan stood outside the door of Danding Pavilion and then walked in.

The female cultivator who had received Su Ziyan before became panicked when she saw him, and Su Ziyan happened to be looking at her, because his spiritual sense had captured the maid's panic, but he was just a little surprised and didn't think much about it.

Then he called the maid and went to look at the pills.
