I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 240 - 11: Newly Formed Core, Cultivation Technique Inference
At this moment, the cultivators in the auction venue were in an uproar.
They were shocked by this news and even more amazed by the strength of the Guangyuan Auction.
The most excited, no doubt, were the other Foundation Establishment powers in the private boxes.
"What? There’s a Golden Yuan Pill! I didn’t get it this time; next time I must gather more money!"
"Quick, quickly notify others, sell off the family assets..."
For a moment, more than a dozen Foundation Establishment clans were raring to act.
Soon, the auction ended.
The cultivators present gradually left the auction venue.
And Patriarch Xiao, along with Chairman Liu, received the Middle Grade Golden Yuan Pill.
"Congratulations to Patriarch Xiao for winning this pill! I wonder if Patriarch Xiao would like the protection of Elder Tan and Senior Yang?" Chairman Liu asked with a smile.
This auction alone earned their branch at least twenty to thirty thousand spirit stones.
For the Guangyuan Commerce Association’s branch, this was an unprecedented profit.
It was even close to the profit from an auction at the main headquarters.
Just purchasing the Golden Yuan Pill by Patriarch Xiao contributed seven thousand spirit stones in revenue.
Patriarch Xiao looked at the Golden Yuan Pill in his hand, holding it tightly.
"Then I must trouble Elder Tan and Senior Yang..." Patriarch Xiao replied respectfully.
"Haha, no problem, no problem! Once Patriarch Xiao advances to Core Formation, you’ll be one of us." Elder Tan said with a smile.
Patriarch Xiao followed the two Core Formation cultivators to a secluded, quiet cultivation room.
After Patriarch Xiao left, Lin Chen also stepped out of the private box.
Chairman Liu, seeing Lin Chen, hurriedly greeted him with respect:
"Senior, this is your profit from this auction..."
Lin Chen took the spirit stone bag, and with a sweep of his divine sense, the pile of spirit stones, nearly two hundred thousand in number, appeared like a small mountain.
In this auction, aside from the Golden Yuan Pill, half of the magical treasures and pills were consigned by Lin Chen.
"Hmm, thank you, Chairman Liu." Lin Chen nodded.
Chairman Liu quickly replied, "It’s nothing at all! Serving Senior Five Thunders is our honor!"
"Master, the Golden Yuan Pill for the next auction..."
Lin Chen flicked his fingers, and a jade box flew into Chairman Liu’s hand.
Chairman Liu received the jade box, feeling delighted.
With this Golden Yuan Pill, this Guangyuan Auction would have a trump card.
There’s no fear of lacking reputation nor worry about a lack of cultivators coming to their auction.
After all, in Qing State, there may be some auctioneers who can refine Golden Yuan Pills, but they mostly use it within their own forces and don’t have enough for themselves, so how can they sell them?
As for publicly auctioning Golden Yuan Pills like they do, perhaps they are the only ones!
Monopoly is absolute profit and advantage.
With many years of business experience, Chairman Liu understood this well.
But he understood even more that all of this was given by Lin Chen before him.
"Senior Five Thunders, would you like to stay in Guangyuan Town for a while, to wait for Patriarch Xiao to break through to Core Formation?"
"If he successfully breaks through, it would undoubtedly be the best advertisement for the Golden Yuan Pill!"
Lin Chen nodded upon hearing this, as he was interested in staying to see.
After leaving the auction venue, Lin Chen suddenly thought of something and said:
"Cough cough, ’Senior Five Thunders’ sounds too crude... just call me Master Five Thunders!"
Chairman Liu scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this.
...
In the following days, Lin Chen stayed in Guangyuan Town, cultivating steadily while quietly waiting for the result of Patriarch Xiao’s breakthrough.
Among the cultivators who attended this auction, many, like Lin Chen, stayed in the Guangyuan Town Marketplace.
They also wanted to know the outcome of Patriarch Xiao winning the Golden Yuan Pill.
After all, Patriarch Xiao served as the best precedent.
If he could successfully break through to Core Formation with the Golden Yuan Pill and soar to new heights.
That would mean others from their families could also...
For a moment, forces from all directions gathered in the Guangyuan Town Marketplace, as if undercurrents were surging below the deep pond.
While Lin Chen remained in the marketplace, he primarily focused his energy on cultivation.
On this day, after practicing the Eternal Spring Technique all night, Lin Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"Indeed, after reaching the Core Formation Stage, cultivation speed slows down considerably..."
"With my cultivation speed that rivals a Top Grade Earth Spirit Root, there’s still a gap to reach mid First-Turn Golden Core; no wonder so many cultivators are stuck at the Golden Core Stage..."
Lin Chen thought to himself.
It had been nearly a month since his breakthrough to the Golden Core.
To Lin Chen, that equated to two months of cultivation time.
If it were the mid Foundation Establishment stage, two months would be enough for him to break through one stage.
But now, to progress from the First-Turn Golden Core to the Second Turn, it would take at least half a year.
Yes, on the timeline, half a year means a year to Lin Chen...
"After the Core Formation, the cultivation speed slowed down because the True Essence’s container is larger, and filling this container requires gradual accumulation."
"Martial cultivation is also stuck at High-Level Martial Sect, still distant from the Martial Venerable level..."
Lin Chen contemplated and decided to dedicate more attention to practicing divine techniques besides improving his realm.
"Although the realm is foundational, it’s difficult to enhance it in the short term. Learning divine techniques is also very necessary..."
With this in mind, Lin Chen’s heart moved slightly, and he began practicing the Celestial Derivation Technique.
...
The divine soul continued to grow stronger in the void.
After several days of cultivation, Lin Chen felt his divine sense finally advancing another step.
Feeling a slight movement in his heart, his divine sense surged out like a tide in all directions...
In an instant, it nearly covered half of the Guangyuan Town Marketplace.
"The Celestial Derivation Technique has finally reached the fifth level..."
"With the fifth level of the Celestial Derivation Technique, the divine soul has improved by fifty percent. My current divine sense range now reaches fifteen hundred zhang!"
Lin Chen opened his eyes, showing a hint of joy.
After he finished his cultivation, he suddenly heard the voice of the Celestial Derivation Pearl’s Artifact Spirit beside his ear.
