Zhaoyu Tower, between the fourth and fifth floors, inside the stone room.
Among the three gray-robed old men, the square-faced old man on the far left showed a slight smile, nodded slightly to Gu Qing, and then said, "What treasures does this Taoist friend want to auction?"
Gu Qing said nothing.
He took out a black round stick spiritual weapon and handed it to the square-faced old man.
The square-faced old man's eyes narrowed, and he took the black round spiritual weapon. He examined it for a moment with his spiritual consciousness and spiritual power. Then he handed the round spiritual weapon to the other two old men, and the three of them briefly discussed it.
The square-faced old man looked at Gu Qing and said, "The spiritual weapon that this fellow Taoist took out is a low-grade spiritual weapon with medium quality. The starting price can be set at 120 medium-grade spiritual stones. I wonder what you think of it?" "
Gu Qing chuckled and responded: "Yes."
He also took out the jade plate for keeping swords, the golden animal skin, and the fish basket containing the high-grade magic weapon containing the minced meat of cold earthworms. He handed them all to the square-faced old man and said, "This golden animal skin cannot be detected with spiritual consciousness. It looks like It contains some great secret, and the strange flesh and blood in the fish basket seems to contain endless vitality. As for the sword-raising jade plate, it can nourish the damaged spiritual weapon Flying Sword by consuming spiritual stones. .”
The three gray-robed old men looked a little strange when they saw the few things Gu Qing had taken out. The square-faced old man looked fixedly at the golden animal skin, and his consciousness was directed towards the skin, and then his body shook. He took the golden animal skin and coughed lightly:
"Ahem! We have to study these three things that fellow Taoist took out. I also ask fellow Taoist to wait a moment."
As he said that, the square-faced old man picked up the fish basket and the sword-raising jade plate with his spiritual consciousness, and handed them to the other two gray-robed old men, and the three of them began to study them together.
A full half hour passed.
The objects in the hands of the three gray-robed old men have been exchanged twice, but no matter who is holding the golden animal skin, the eyes of the three people will be cast with inexplicable colors, vague and vague.
The square-faced old man chatted with the other two gray-robed old men for a few words, then he raised his eyes to look at Gu Qing and said: "This golden animal skin is really a special treasure, it is the only one I have ever seen in my life! In my opinion, The secret behind it is definitely not small, and it is impossible to say that it will be noticed by a senior who is in the foundation building or even the core formation realm! The starting price of this object is set at five hundred middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"As for this sword-raising jade plate, it is also very effective, so I set the starting price at eighty yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones. Finally, if this fish basket and the flesh and blood contained in it contain a lot of vitality, and this fish basket is auctioned together, the bidding will start. The price can be set at twenty mid-grade spiritual stones."
Gu Qing pondered for a moment after listening to the square-faced old man's words.
'Let's keep the golden spider silk for now. I don't know, I will use the golden spider silk in the future.
Think about this.
He smiled softly and said, "Good."
After Gu Qing walked out of the stone room, he had another wooden sign with "fifty-nine" engraved on it in his hand. When he was ready to leave, he could use this wooden sign to receive the spiritual stones obtained from the auction of golden animal skins and other items.
"It seems that Fellow Daoist Lin has quite a few things that need to be auctioned." Cui Lian'er, who was waiting outside the stone room, said in a neutral voice.
Gu Qing glanced at the woman, but she didn't respond. He turned around and walked to the fifth floor. Cui Lian'er saw this and hurried to follow. The monks lining up behind her brightened up and walked a few steps quickly into the stone room in front.
After walking more than 300 steps, Gu Qing's eyes lit up.
On the fifth floor of Zhaoyu Tower, the light is quite dazzling.
Above is a huge skylight with a crystal-like texture. Inside the skylight is a circle of spacious plank roads. There are clear water flowing in the plank roads. Groups of very beautiful fish swim in the water on the plank roads. The sky is full of large skylights. On the day, the radiance of crimson gold was reflected in the huge crystal skylight, turning into colorful brilliance and falling in the auction venue.
Next to this huge crystal skylight are seven suspended stands. These seven are all extremely luxuriously built. They seem to be lines made of colorful brilliance carried in mid-air, motionless.
These seven stands are like white jade hollows. Each stand has more than a dozen compartments. Not far from each other, there are beautiful and well-dressed stands.
Properly dressed boys and girls stood by the side with respectfully lowered hands.
Under the seven suspended stands, there are circles of fixed seats, in the shape of descending steps, converging on the circular auction table in the center. A rough count of these fixed seats is more than 5,000. , at this time there were monks sitting on half of the seats.
'I paid ten low-grade spiritual stones before, and the seat number engraved on the nameplate is 3718. Gu Qing's mind wandered around half a circle in the auction venue, and he sat down near the wooden window on the fifth floor of Zhaoyu Building, far away from the circular auction table in the center.
Cui Lian'er sat on the left side of him.
Gu Qing glanced around and saw Cui Lian'er's second uncle and his party, as well as Murong Changtian and Zhou Long's party nearby.
'I guess these two groups of people should have seats on the seven suspended stands! Gu Qing looked up at the suspended stands above, and happened to see Murong Changtian in a purple robe on one of the stands, standing with his hands behind his back, lowering his head slightly, overlooking him and Cui Lian'er.
Gu Qing looked at each other, blinked, put his arms around Cui Lian'er, and whispered in Cui Lian'er's ear: "Lin said that Murong Changtian is good-looking, has high cultivation level, and is about the same age. It’s not big at all, does Cui Daoyou really not think about it?”
Cui Lian'er's body was stiff.
She noticed that Gu Qing was close at hand, and was about to break away when she heard Gu Qing's words, raised her eyes and glanced at the suspended stands above, and said in a steady voice: "Murong Changtian, one of the four major families in Longze Lake The legitimate son of the Murong family, when he was thirteen years old, he used the evil method he collected to poison four personal maids to death. Now he is forty-three years old. In the past thirty years, he has killed countless female nuns, including his first few. A Taoist monk."
Gu Qing was slightly shocked when he heard this message.
He loosened his hold on Cui Lian'er's arm, and said with some deep meaning: "It seems that the relationship between Cui Daoyou and the clan elders is not very good!"
Cui Lian'er curled her lips and did not respond.
Gu Qing looked at the beauty in black who was close to Chi Chi, with her cold face, lowered eyes, slightly curled eyelashes, beautiful black and white eyes, and fair and slender neck, smelling the faint body fragrance. , he sighed softly in his heart and retracted his arm around the beauty in black.
'It's better to have less karma and have no worries, so that you can have nothing to worry about. Beauty is just a body of color, beauty is a disaster, and bones are piles of bones. Gu Qing closed his eyes slightly and waited silently for the auction to begin.
The suspended stands above are in a compartment.
Cui Fang stood behind Murong Changtian and said with confidence: "Cui Lian'er must have found that casual cultivator to deal with the elders of the clan! Fellow Taoist Murong, the elder of my Cui family has informed me that as long as fellow Taoist Murong can If I marry Cui Lian'er, I would like to use the two shops in Kurongfang as dowry!"
"Cui Fang! Do you want my eldest brother to marry a bastard? How brave you are! The little Cui family is really ridiculous. My eldest brother can send a guest from the family to kill your entire Cui family!" The tall Zhou Long hugged his arms and said coldly, stepped forward and kicked Cui Fang's leg, "Kneel down and speak!"
Click!
"ah!"
Cui Fang screamed and knelt on one knee. The white bone stubble penetrated his knee, pierced his clothes, hit the iron-gray floor in the stand compartment, and exploded into dozens of burning pieces. Bone fragments and bright red blood turned into blood flames and spurted out from his knees.
Zhou Long withdrew his kicked foot. The red spiritual power on his feet spread on the iron-gray floor, leaving traces like running water. The red and fire-like spiritual power slowly converged. He screamed and knelt down without looking. Cui Fang took a look, came to the edge of the stand, and looked down at Gu Qing and Cui Lian'er.
He looked at Cui Lian'er who was dressed in black and had a cold face. A fiery look flashed through his eyes, and he said to Murong Changtian: "Since the Cui family is willing to sell two shops, let me marry this Cui Lian'er." Brother, how about you use some tricks to marry her as your concubine! Brother, if you are tired of playing with her, remember to give it to me to play with for a few days. I want to see if Cui Lian'er still looks like this when she is having fun with her crotch. Looks so cold!"
Murong Changtian glanced at Zhou Long with a calm expression and said
: "Don't let this loser Cui Fang die. It's not good to kill people here."
"I know, keep it in perspective, otherwise I can crush this trash Cui Fang with just one finger." Zhou Long turned his head and returned to Cui Fang, who had been engulfed in blood flames. The blood flames quickly extinguished, revealing the inside. Cui Fang, who was burned into a human shape and passed out, was thrown to the feet of the maid standing beside him and "sent to the Cui family's compartment."
The maidservant standing there responded tremblingly.
The half-dead Cui Fang was dragged out by the maid, while Chen Fan and Zhao Ming walked into the compartment from the outside.
Chen Fan was a young monk with a frail appearance like a white-faced scholar. After walking into the cubicle, he said to Murong Changtian: "Brother, we have investigated clearly. The casual cultivator named Lin Changqing came to Kurongfang two years ago. , lives in the first-class cave area of Zuiyunxuan, the twelfth cave. After coming here, he went into seclusion until a few days ago. He is suspected of practicing Qi Refining Dzogchen. I don’t know what the purpose of coming to Kurongfang is."
Zhao Ming, who walked into the cubicle with Chen Fan, was a short young man with slightly thin lips. He added: "Brother Chen and I guessed that Lin Changqing's purpose of coming to Kurongfang is probably to build the foundation. ! After all, the Qidan Pavilion of Wanbao Tonghui sells Foundation Establishment Pills. In addition, today's Kurongfang is considered to be one of the top cultivation centers within a million miles. The foundation building process is very safe. Assure."
"Foundation building?"
Murong Changtian raised his eyebrows.
His eyes focused on Gu Qing's figure below the suspended stand, and he whispered: "The Seven Pill Pavilion's Foundation Establishment Pill requires a lot of spiritual stones to purchase! And even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, big families and large sects There are not even one monk out of ten who can build a foundation, let alone just a casual cultivator!"
Gu Qing noticed the eyes staring at him. He looked up again at the suspended stands above, and looked at Murong Changtian. He squinted his eyes, and a red luster flashed in his eyes.
The world in his eyes quietly changed.
I saw that the suspended stand above was shrouded in a blue flame-like aura. Murong Changtian, who was looking down below, looked like a black sun, exuding an evil aura. Looking at his aura, The blazing power is comparable to the ordinary practice of Qi Refining and Great Perfection. Even if we only focus on this spiritual power cultivation, it is still above him!
'There is no threat to me. If I want to kill him, I can only use the Lotus Sword Technique and the Purple Xuan Sword. There is no need to use other means.
The red luster in Gu Qing's eyes quietly subsided.
He lowered his head, his heart unmoved.
There is even a sense of expectation.
'If I can attract a few waves of interceptions and kill them all, and send away all the cultivators who intercepted them, I can easily get a lot of cultivation resources again! The only thing that needs to be considered is that after revealing one's strength, it is likely to attract the attention of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and even take action, so one should keep a low profile.
Gu Qing looked at Cui Lian'er, who was adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed, leaning on the back of the chair, watching the beauty quietly, while secretly thinking about some unknown things about the five restrictions on the five elements.
A few hours passed quickly.
There were more and more monks in the field, and the seats were gradually filled. The seven suspended stands and compartments above were all occupied, and the scene gradually became noisy. Even though there were not many monks talking, sporadic voices gathered in the Together, it was still noisy.
Cui Lian'er, who had closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes at this moment.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she turned to look at Gu Qing beside her, but only saw Gu Qing's profile. She looked back doubtfully: "Why do I feel like Lin Changqing has been staring at me for a long time..."
At this moment, the noisy auction venue fell silent, because at some point, a tall, middle-aged man with a solemn face appeared on the circular auction table in front of him.
