The two waitresses were startled and returned the favor in fear.
Shang Tao clasped his fists and said with a smile: "The four of you are high-level VIPs of our store. It is Shang's honor to come to the exhibition. If the four of you have any needs in the upcoming auction, Shang will do his best to satisfy them."
The major chambers of commerce on the island are basically sponsors of the exhibition.
Some are even directly one of the organizers.
"You're welcome, fellow merchants. We are lucky enough to use the platform of your Chamber of Commerce to sit here so comfortably."
A middle-aged monk with a green thumb ring responded politely.
Xie Huan and others also nodded.
"Haha, thank you all for the compliment."
Shang Tao smiled and sat aside, instructing the two waitresses to serve various spiritual fruits and spirits and provide attentive service.
The other three were observing each other carefully to guess each other's identity and strength.
The three of them soon discovered that Shang Tao's enthusiasm and compliments to Xie Huan were obviously far greater than their own, so they all frowned and began to guess Xie Huan's identity.
Xie Huan, on the other hand, was completely immersed in his own breathing exercises and was too lazy to pay attention to them. He also ignored Shang Tao.
This cold attitude only elevated his status in the hearts of the three people, making them suspicious.
The front end of the auction was filled with rare items, mainly those displayed in the tasting area. Xie Huan was not interested, so he half listened and half practiced.
"The Long Family asked Long Jianxin to host this auction, which directly established his status in the Long Family. Among the major forces on Bobo Island, he should be the leader among the younger generation."
The middle-aged man wearing a finger spanner looked down and said.
Long Jianxin was in the middle of the auction house, high-spirited, bright-eyed, talking and laughing generously, and indeed looked like the leader of a faction.
Xie Huan took a quick look and saw that he did have a good temperament. He was too far away to detect with his spiritual sense, and if he used his spiritual sense indiscriminately in this place, it was very likely that he would be caught by the alchemy monks.
He blindly guessed that Long Jianxin's strength was in the late stage of foundation building.
"The only Yanyulou Deng Zixuan who can rival him is also his fiancée. Bobo Island will probably be under the influence of this person for hundreds of years in the future."
Another monk with a face full of vicissitudes of life and a slightly old look said calmly.
"Deng Zixuan's achievements will be higher than Long Jianxin. The "Yuhua Sutra" she practiced is a special soul-quenching method. It is the treasure of Yanyu Tower. It is said that it was discovered in the strata of Bobo Island a long time ago. Yes, when combined with the island domain, it is almost invincible at the same level, and leapfrogging is not a problem."
The third monk said slowly.
"I have also heard of the "Yuhua Sutra", which can shine especially in the phantom soul tide and greatly improve the cultivation level, but it seems that not everything is suitable for this sutra, otherwise the Yanyu Tower would have unified Bobo Island long ago. , and what’s going on with the other two families.”
The first monk with a ring said.
"How long until the next wave of phantom souls?"
Xie Huan suddenly asked.
Several people were stunned, because Xie Huan had been closing his eyes and concentrating. This was the first time he interrupted.
"One year and seven months to go."
Shang Tao's eyes also shone slightly and he immediately replied.
Shang Tao just listened quietly to the other three chatting, smiling from time to time, but did not participate.
As soon as Xie Huan opened his mouth, he immediately replied.
This made the other three people even more aware of the difference in VIP levels.
"Well, that was quick."
After Xie Huan finished speaking, he closed his eyes again.
He knew from his notes that every ten years there would be a surge of energy in the island area of Bobo Island, called the Phantom Soul Tide, which would impact the souls of all monks.
In the phantom soul tide, various visions will be born, which is an excellent baptism for the soul.
Of course, if it is carried over, it is called baptism, but if it is not carried over, it is called cause of death.
This is also an experience that Xie Huan is looking forward to.
I want to use this to impact the "Three Vehicles Realm of Consciousness" and condense the unstained spiritual consciousness.
Otherwise, it would still be difficult to condense the Wushou consciousness just by relying on the soul heart dimension of Bobo Island.
As for the "Yuhua Jing", he was naturally not interested.
Because of the level of Yanyu Tower, if this technique is unparalleled, Yanyu Tower will not be stranded in the outer sea, it will only be one of the three major forces on the fifth-level spiritual island.
This is the simplest logical reasoning.
"What the distinguished guests just said is true, but there is one thing they may not know."
Shang Tao didn't know whether he was aroused or wanted to show off in front of Xie Huan, so he smiled and said: "Deng Zixuan's current strength may be higher than Long Jianxin, but the situation will be reversed after the two get married.
"Because of the characteristics of the "Yuhua Jing", once you are in harmony with the opposite sex, your souls will blend and your soul power will be equally divided, so Deng Zixuan is now somewhat of a wedding dress for her."
"There is such a thing."
The expression of the third monk changed slightly.
"There are many people who know about this matter, but they are limited to the core circle of Bobo Island."
Shang Tao said with a smile, glancing at Xie Huan intentionally or unintentionally.
"How can Yanyulou and Deng Zixuan be willing to marry?"
The first middle-aged monk asked suspiciously.
"The combination of aristocratic families depends on the matching of interests. Long Jianxin itself is not bad, plus some other conditions, it is still possible."
After Shang Tao finished speaking, the other three people couldn't help but nod.
At this time, a shining golden object appeared at the auction, which was covered with solid lines and patterns. Long Jianxin took it in his hand and showed it to everyone with a smile: "This is a piece of Tianzhan gold. Don't look at it, it is only about the size of a fist." , but it’s heavier than this exhibition, and it’s very difficult to hold it in my hand.”
Xie Huan stared at the past.
Tianzhuo Gold is a type of mutated gold element, but its level is not high and it is a very common type.
The only characteristic is that it is heavy.
Extremely heavy.
It is one of the heaviest substances in the sky.
Therefore, it is also the basic material for making magic weapons and is valuable.
Xie Huan has Jincheng, but Tianzhanjin's own level is too low to improve Jincheng's level, so he can use it elsewhere.
The price was quickly auctioned to 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Each price increase shall not be less than five thousand.
Xie Huan was not in a hurry, and glanced around the venue. The gloomy monk wearing a ghost mask was sitting in an inconspicuous corner. He entered the venue from the beginning, and like Xie Huan, he never said a word, even Not even moving.
It seems that this person is also here for a specific item.
He was also surprised to find that Han Wenshan and Lin Yaoyao had also arrived at the scene at some time. They were both sitting together. Looking at Lin Yaoyao's expression, they were very excited and immersed. The smile on their faces never stopped. Han Wenshan was Binbin. Be polite and smile back from time to time.
"Three hundred and sixty thousand once, three hundred and sixty thousand twice, are there any fellow Taoists who want to increase the price? This Tianbao Gold is the basic raw material for making various magical weapons and even magic weapons. Three hundred and sixty thousand is not expensive."
Long Jianxin looked around with a smile.
"Three hundred and seventy thousand."
Xie Huan finally quoted the price.
Shang Tao and the other three people all looked over.
Seeing that Xie Huan was paying attention to this item, they guessed that he would bid for it, and as expected.
Long Jianxin raised his eyes and looked at the box of the Yunshang Chamber of Commerce. The smile on his face became even bigger: "Three hundred and seventy thousand, are there any fellow Taoists who want to increase the price?"
In the venue on the first floor, a monk looked ugly, glared in the direction of Xie Huan, and shouted: "Three hundred and eighty thousand!"
Xie Huan glanced at the monk, thought for a moment and said, "Four hundred and ninety thousand."
"forty……"
Long Jianxin was stunned for a moment and almost didn't react, then he smiled even more happily: "Four hundred and ninety thousand! Is there a higher price for this fellow Taoist who is so heroic?"
The monk who was bidding instantly turned pale.
There was also a lot of discussion in the hall, and many eyes were cast on him.
The monk who was bidding wanted to raise his hand and bid again several times. After much hesitation, he finally sighed and gave up completely.
"Four hundred and ninety thousand, deal!"
Long Jianxin put down the items with a smile and started to move on to the next item.
"Fellow Taoist is really wise. He saw that the man wanted it badly. If he raised the price a little bit, he might not be able to hold it back even for 500,000 yuan, so he directly raised the price by 110,000 yuan, which would break the opponent's psychology. Wonderful, wonderful. "
Shang Tao lost no time in sending a flattery.
Xie Huan smiled faintly, naturally he would not take it seriously. There are three ways to increase the price in the auction. One is adding layer by layer and raising the price instantly. The third is adding layers one by one and raising the price in an instant.
Which one works depends on the actual situation and luck.
He just chose one at random.
"I also ask fellow Taoist merchants to help me make the delivery."
Xie Huan took out the spirit stone and handed it to a maid next to him.
The maid immediately left with the spirit stone in her hands, and came up shortly after with a storage bag. Without the storage bag, she couldn't carry it at all.
Xie Huan took out the Tianzhan Gold, and as expected, his arm sank.
Even with his huge physical strength, it was very difficult to hold it. Just now, Long Jianxin was able to hold it without changing his expression, which showed that he had some skills.
Xie Huan weighed the metal piece a few times and put it into the ring with great satisfaction.
During the next auction, Xie Huan continued to close his eyes and rest his mind, practicing the "Three Vehicles of Consciousness".
The main reason is that this method tempers the soul power and is not easily detected when someone is around. Other mental methods such as the "Secret of Immortality" have a body-protecting divine light constantly appearing, which is not good after all.
The other three people in the box also began to take pictures one after another, each of which was worth a few hundred thousand. The monk with the green ring finger took a set of talismans, a total of twelve pictures, and spent sixty. Fifty thousand is considered the highest consumption.
The auction gradually entered the second half.
Various items worth hundreds of thousands of dollars began to appear one after another.
Ordinary monks simply cannot afford such things, and they basically buy them on a family or sect basis.
Xie Huan noticed that the ghost-masked monk still had not quoted a price.
Is it for the finale item?
He has no interest in the three final items, the magic weapon and the Tianhuang cultivator, but the dragon-marked fruit can be photographed and tasted, if he can afford it.
This fruit is unique to Bobo Island. Under the influence of the soul heart dimension for many years, the surface of the fruit has a layer of dragon-like paths, hence its name.
After taking it, it can greatly enhance the soul power.
This is not its greatest value.
After men take this fruit, the offspring born have a high chance of possessing superior cultivation talents.
Therefore, it is the "holy fruit" of the seed body, something that all major families compete for.
At this time, Xia Bing, whom Xie Huan had longed for, finally appeared.
