Half a year later, the largest auction in Yunmeng City was in full swing.
Qian Yunsheng was also hiding in a box, watching the noisy scene outside. At this moment, a woman with bright eyes and white teeth was seen stepping onto the stage, and while talking and laughing, she won another big deal.
Gong Xiaoyue also stared at the woman and quietly introduced her to Qian Yunsheng: "This is a new force that has appeared in Yunmeng City in the past six months."
"It is said that the roots are from a hidden family in Zhongzhou, but now it has become a force in Yunmeng City."
"They are especially friendly with the City Lord's Mansion, so much so that they have won many deals with the City Lord's Mansion."
Qian Yunsheng nodded slightly, looked back and asked, "What happened to the things I asked you to track?"
Gong Xiaoyue shook her head and said: "It's not going well. Whenever these things appear in Yunmeng City, they often turn around several times in the city. As a result, not many clues can be seen."
"Although these things will all disappear in Yunmeng City in the end without exception, Xiaoyue judged that they must have been transported into the Soul Clan, but the Soul Clan did it too covertly, making it extremely difficult to trace."
As they were talking, they saw a batch of jade clear stones starting to be auctioned. At the end of the auction, only an old man and the bright-eyed woman with white teeth that Gong Xiaoyue introduced to Qian Yunsheng were left. The two shopkeepers are fighting over each other.
After a few more rounds of shooting, just when the old man shook his head and was about to give up, the female shopkeeper unexpectedly took the initiative not to increase the price, but instead gave the old man the victory he was about to win.
As soon as Gong Xiaoyue saw the auction of this jade clear stone, she immediately walked out and arranged for the people below to trace the source of this batch of goods.
Qian Yunsheng waited for Gong Xiaoyue to come back, then tapped the handrail thoughtfully and said:
"It's enough that you can do this. As long as we find that the Soul Clan's demand for these things continues to increase, it means that our judgment is still accurate."
"I think you can continue to make big purchases of the few things you and Ta Ling have researched."
Gong Xiaoyue wrote down Qian Yunsheng's instructions and reported again: "Since our deal with the Soul Clan and the Bai Sect began, the Soul Clan's attention has indeed been attracted to us."
"Now that Bai Jiao has become our scapegoat without realizing it, should we deliberately expose the two ghosts of the soul clan to Bai Jiao so that they can be more alert?"
Qian Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "Let's not rush into action. Anyway, if the Soul Clan wants to truly understand the relationship between Bai Jiao and us, I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"In case the soul clan in the middle is exposed, it will save us more troubles and increase the risk. If it is really not discovered, it will not be too late for us to remind them when the time comes."
"It's time for Agu to pass the tribulation recently. We don't have to rush to upset the soul clan's nerves."
When it came to Agu's Tribulation, Gong Xiaoyue took out a few things again and handed them to Qian Yunsheng, whispering:
"This is the ghost spirit liquid and the soul-creating guide among the things that Uncle Master asked me to find. It's a pity that there is still no news about the hundred-eyed soul beast. Otherwise, Master Agu's certainty of overcoming the tribulation can be improved by one point. .”
Qian Yunsheng took the thing from Gong Xiaoyue's hand and said with a smile: "It's pretty good. I've refined several things for him recently, so I thought I might be able to help him."
"Besides, Agu himself is a spirit ghost born from heaven and earth. Although he is in a special environment like the yellow sand and sky wall, God has the virtue of good life. A natural spirit ghost like him will be able to overcome tribulations better than us ghosts. It’s easier.”
"In addition, we are fully prepared and have the help of the great formation spirit. Come to think of it, no matter how many methods we use now, it will only provide more comfort."
"The most difficult thing at the moment is how to open the Xuanben. With him here, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Agu to survive the disaster safely."
As the two of them were talking, they saw the auction below starting to announce loudly: "Hundred bottles of the blood of the ghost bird, the starting price is ten thousand spiritual stones, and the price will be increased by one thousand spiritual stones each time."
Gong Xiaoyue's eyebrows flashed and she immediately said: "Twenty thousand spirit stones!"
"Huh...?" Gong Xiaoyue's inevitable statement immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Some ordinary merchants sitting in the venue who were interested in the blood of the ghost bird simply shook their heads and gave up all thoughts of competing when they saw the price quoted by the big guest in the box.
Other merchants who were interested in making bids were defeated by Gong Xiaoyue's firm bids of 30,000 spirit stones and 40,000 spirit stones.
However, Gong Xiaoyue's performance attracted the attention of the beautiful shopkeeper in the opposite compartment. She looked deeply at Gong Xiaoyue, then opened her mouth lightly and bid: "Forty-one thousand spiritual stones!"
This situation suddenly turned into a competition between Gong Xiaoyue and the other beautiful shopkeeper, and I don't know what the other party was thinking. No matter how much Gong Xiaoyue increased the price, the other party would steadily add a thousand spiritual stones.
Qian Yunsheng looked at this situation with a sinking face. When Gong Xiaoyue increased the price to 80,000 spirit stones, the other party quoted the price of 81,000 spirit stones without hesitation.
At this time, Qian Yunsheng suddenly said: "Okay, no need to fight!"
Gong Xiaoyue was still waiting to bid, but when she saw Qian Yunsheng actually stopped her with words, she couldn't help but asked a little strangely:
"This Youniao's blood is something that Mr. Ta and I have researched, and it is quite suitable for dealing with the Soul Clan."
"And it is not easy to have hundreds of bottles at one time. This is our goal in participating in the auction this time!"
Unexpectedly, Qian Yunsheng stared at the box opposite and said, "Didn't you realize that the other party has already targeted us?"
"It seems that we want to keep a low profile, but some people are not willing!"
"It's okay. Do you think that after we let go today, things like this won't come back to us in the end?"
After hearing what Qian Yunsheng said, Gong Xiaoyue also understood, her eyes brightened and she said:
"Fortunately, my uncle reminded me that the price is now more than half of the normal price of the blood of the ghost bird. Although it is due to the large quantity, if the other party does not really need it, it is not easy to get rid of it for a while."
"And now in Yunmeng City, I'm afraid we are the only ones willing to buy it at a price exceeding this auction price."
Qian Yunsheng nodded slightly and said, "That's the truth!"
On the other side, Kurishe, who was wearing the body of a human beauty, suddenly stopped when he saw the private room opposite that was increasing the price. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said to himself:
"Is it possible that I guessed wrong, that the other party is only interested in the blood of the ghost bird, and has no other intentions?"
But after thinking for a while, she shook her head and said: "Hei Ashi is right. Since he has attracted my attention, it cannot be an unknown person."
"Ghost cultivators have always been good at hiding things deeply. I'm afraid the more obvious this kind of thing is, the more it should be investigated."
While Kulishe was thinking silently, Qian Yunsheng in the box patiently persisted until the end of the auction, even randomly selling a few things in the middle.
Sure enough, in the few times they made random bids, the other party seemed to follow suit twice intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Qian Yunsheng and the others quickly raised the price and then gave up decisively, causing the other party to suffer a moderate loss.
It was not until the auction was about to end that Qian Yunsheng stood up and warned Gong Xiaoyue: "Yunmeng City is becoming more and more treacherous."
"Now it is estimated that those of us who are thoughtful will look like a spy at any house. Therefore, you should pay attention to protect yourself during this period and don't get involved in any unpredictable disputes."
Gong Xiaoyue smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, Xiaoyue has her own sense of proportion."
"Besides, I still have the life-saving things that my uncle gave me. Just like my uncle always said, 'Keep the green hills there, don't worry about running out of firewood.' When things really go wrong, I naturally know how to save myself first."
After hearing this, Qian Yunsheng nodded with relief and said, "Then I'll go back first. Agu's Tribulation is just around the corner. I hope nothing will go wrong." After saying that, he quietly flashed away and disappeared.
Gong Xiaoyue, on the other hand, waited until the auction was over before she walked out of the box gracefully. She saw a beautiful woman coming across from the opposite side and said:
"I've heard the name of the shopkeeper Gong for a long time, and we've always known each other. It's a pleasure to meet you this time, so I ask the shopkeeper Gong to take good care of our shop."
Just as Gong Xiaoyue was about to answer, she suddenly felt a puppet pendant close to her body tremble suddenly.
Her heart suddenly tightened, but on the surface she raised her eyebrows without revealing anything, and said with a smile like a flower:
"What did Sister Nangong say? Little sister, I have also been admiring my sister's name for a long time. I just regret that I am usually so busy that I don't get to see my sister."
"Since my elder sister happens to be free today, I will let my younger sister do the hosting. How about we find a place to chat for a while?"
