Before the auction started, it seemed like a grand networking reception.
The jade table, the glass lamp, the walking wine flask held by the maid, the steaming clouds and mist under your feet, the beauties dancing in the air, the melodious bursts of vocal music...
Many male and female monks wandered around, chatting, making new friends, and exchanging inquiring information.
A gathering of immortals in the fairy world is nothing more than that!
Zhong Yan sighed: This is the image of the top power, extremely luxurious!
He also noticed that even in the ordinary audience seats, there were spiritual fruits, pastries, and wine bottles. Only then did he realize that the Jiang family's auction was probably a loss.
The invitations were three hundred spirit stones, and two thousand were sold. The rest were obviously given away free of charge by the Jiang family to the major forces.
Even if there were private sales, it would definitely be far less than the number that now exceeds 40,000.
As a result, it would be difficult to make back the money just by drinking and eating, let alone the consumption of various formations operating in this place.
No wonder so many casual cultivators come here to join in the fun, regardless of the outrageous prices of scalper tickets. Whether or not to take pictures is secondary. The key is to be able to see big figures from all over the world, make friends and gain more knowledge.
Zhong Yan picked up the jug from the table, poured another glass of wine, and asked, "Xiao Qian, how much does this spirit wine cost?"
Miss Xiaoqian said: "This is brewed in our own winery. There are more than five hundred prayer beads sold outside."
Zhong Yan nodded, that was almost eight spirit stones.
Jiang Zhiyu rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "Did you originally think that the Jiang family would make a lot of money from invitations? Counting the auction items, they can even break even, and they have to be auctioned at normal prices!"
"Brother Aotian, go over there." Jiang Linglong greeted, leading him towards a group of joking young men and women.
Zhong Yan has already learned that the children of the Jiang clan only start to choose to practice skills during the foundation building period. Jindan, a member of the Tianlinggen clan, will do tasks or go out for training in the future, and those with less qualifications will advance according to the situation.
An outstanding talent like Jiang Haochen is something that the family has never seen before. If not for the death of 'Jiang Xingyu', it is estimated that Jiang Haochen would not have been born to serve as the face of the younger generation of the family.
Jiang Linglong successfully formed elixirs at the age of twenty-five. In the past ten years, she has gained a lot of experience. In addition to the Western Regions, she has been to the Central Region, the Northern Region, and the Southern Region. With her family background and stunning appearance, she has made acquaintance with monks from all over the world.
With her introduction, Zhong Yan got to know many people, including some older Nascent Soul Avatars.
Two signaling bells are used. Although today's signaling bells are easy to use, they are also very limited. They can only store fifty spiritual imprints, otherwise it will cause chaos.
At You hour, night falls.
The spotlights controlled by the formation were projected high into the sky, illuminating the entire venue as bright as day.
Beside a lotus pond, Zhong Yan met a 'familiar stranger' - Sister Jiang Huan!
The eyebrows are somewhat similar to Jiang Huan. He is wearing a tight purple dress with the logo of Guanghan Palace printed on it. His face is beautiful and his eyebrows are picturesque.
The person's body seemed to be shrouded in mist, but Zhong Yan could not discern his realm of cultivation.
Jiang Huan often mentioned her when sending letters back to Qingyang, but she was always addressed as 'sister' and did not mention her name.
After being introduced by Jiang Zhiyu, I learned the other party's name, Lin Tan'er.
Listening to the conversation, Jiang Zhiyu and Lin Tan'er were quite familiar with each other, so they casually asked about Jiang Huan.
Lin Tan'er was dignified and gentle, her red lips slightly parted and she smiled and said: "My junior sister is in seclusion to prepare for the condensation of the baby. When she comes out of seclusion, I will tell her and reply to sister Zhiyu."
Zhong Yan took out the summons bell and asked for contact information: "Sorry for Aotian's abruptness, I wonder if the fairy can leave a spiritual mark so that we can have the opportunity to exchange Taoism together someday?"
Lin Tan'er was slightly startled, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Linglong and Jiang Zhiyu. However, she heard about the newly famous rogue cultivator in front of her and the two young ladies of the Jiang family. She hesitated for a moment and took the summons bell. Zhanyan smiled and said: "Of course, it is an honor for me to be able to exchange experiences with fellow Taoist Aotian."
After chatting for a while, the two parties separated, and Lin Tan'er and her 'uncle' left.
Jiang Zhiyu sneered and ridiculed: "Pervert! You know how to choose people! When you see someone who is beautiful, you take the initiative to ask for their contact information!"
Zhong Yan said coldly: "You won't ask for me, and you won't allow me to think of a solution on my own?"
Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Zhong Yan said: "No one can guide me. I have many questions about the Dark Phoenix Spirit Body. Can't I ask Jiang Huan?"
Jiang Zhiyu blinked and said suspiciously, "I don't remember telling you that sister Huan'er is a dark phoenix spirit, right?"
Zhong Yan looked like a fool: "Is it difficult to guess? I can't ask myself?"
Jiang Zhiyu choked: "..."
Jiang Linglong on the side felt happy and said with a smile: "Brother Aotian, I will take you to the Scripture Library Pavilion another day. There is information about the Dark Phoenix Spirit Body there."
Zhong Yan cupped his hands and smiled: "Thank you so much, Fairy Linglong."
Jiang Zhiyu glared: "From now on, you must follow me every step of the way!"
Zhong Yan left her with the back of his head and walked forward.
Jiang Linglong sent a message: "Lin Tan'er also has a special physique, Fire Phoenix Spirit Body. The senior next to her just now is even more powerful, Ice Soul King Physique, and has entered the list of supreme gods, ranking twenty-fifth."
Zhong Yan nodded slightly. The woman only nodded in response to the greeting from beginning to end. Even her appearance was obscured by the mist. She asked, "What state is Lin Tan'er in? Didn't she make the list?"
Jiang Linglong looked at Jiang Zhiyu and said uncertainly: "I heard that it was the first level of Yuanying two years ago. All the Yuanying combat power lists are in the late Yuanying stage or above. There are many older people on it. Lin Tan'er is not old, so she can't She can be on the list, but she is ranked in the fairy list, more than thirty..."
Another hour passed, at 3:30, the auction officially started.
The current head of the Jiang family flew into the divine realm and delivered a speech in front of everyone's attention.
Zhong Yan and the others were in a small floating cubicle at the front, with a stone table and benches, which was elegant and unique. It could accommodate eight people and was fully stocked with wine and food.
Jiang Linglong said: "That is the current head of the Jiang family, Grandpa Changnian. You must know Jiang Xinghai, he is his biological grandfather."
That is the ancestor of the Jiang family... Zhong Yan nodded, pointed to the left and right and asked: "Who built the formation of this floating city?"
He found that the soundproofing effect of this small cubicle was very good, and it could also block the detection of divine consciousness. A projection mirror like a 'display screen' was installed on the wall, which showed the dynamic pictures in the divine realm. It was so clear that, based on his knowledge, he could not understand it at all. With what kind of formation.
Jiang Linglong smiled and said: "It is a combined formation, with more than thirty types. It cannot be constructed with the ability of the monks in Xianwu Continent today, and I have not studied it clearly. This floating city has existed since ancient times. Its laws are stable and will never fall. , and this auction venue was moved down from the Immortal Realm by our clan’s Emperor Haotian, and it has been preserved to this day.”
Zhong Yan couldn't help but ask: "After ascending to the spiritual world or the fairy world, can you come down again?"
Jiang Linglong glanced at Jiang Zhiyu and said, "It used to be possible. According to family records, in ancient times there was no distinction between the lower world, the spiritual world and the fairy world.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually weakened, only three levels of worlds separated, but until 300,000 years ago, the spiritual energy of Xianwu Continent was still very strong and rich in resources.
The 'Great Emperor Yanyang' of the Ji family in Zhongzhou was cultivating the Emperor Fruit in the Xianwu Continent at that time, but he was the last Immortal Emperor in the continent.
Since then, no one has become an emperor, and powerful men such as Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings have gone to the spiritual and fairy worlds...
As time goes by, it is difficult for true immortals and heavenly immortals to cultivate, and they all lead to ascending to the upper realm.
Later, even in the spirit realm, one had to go to the spiritual world to obtain a better cultivation environment.
However, the Spirit Ascension Platform in Zhongzhou broke down for some unknown reason thirteen hundred years ago, and now it is impossible to go to the spirit world.
Before that, there were monks from the spiritual world coming down, and there was resource and information circulation..."
At this time.
After the beautiful cultivator in the divine realm introduced the first lot, monks in the audience below started pressing the buttons on the table to bid.
Zhong Yan flipped through the brochure, turned to look at Jiang Zhiyu, who had not spoken a word since entering the cubicle, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Linglong also looked suspicious.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyu's pretty face turned pale, and there was obviously something abnormal in her body, but she said angrily: "I want you to take care of it?!"
Xiao Qian, who was standing at the back, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, looked at his master's face, and asked carefully: "Miss, are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." Jiang Zhiyu said casually, but in his heart he scolded his sister Jiang Zhishui a hundred times.
time flies.
When it came to the third lot, Zhong Yan paid attention to the expressions of the two ladies, and said with an interested look: "This jade is not bad, and it looks exquisite. If it really has the calming effect as mentioned, it is suitable for wearing for practice." .”
Jiang Linglong blinked and said immediately: "Brother Dao, do you like it? I'll buy it for you!"
Jiang Zhiyu's eyes flashed, and he curled his lips and mocked: "Tsk tsk, you are really in a hurry. Is Linglong's niece worried that she won't be able to get married?"
"I do! What does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Linglong retorted, and Bai Nenyu reached for the button on the table to enter the bid.
Zhong Yan said: "Why don't you forget it? I don't dare to let the fairy spend money."
Jiang Zhiyu sneered and said, "Have you forgotten that you are my follower! You keep flirting with her and pretend I don't exist?"
Zhong Yan helplessly replied: "In the end, I'm just a small casual cultivator. How dare I confront her openly? If she gives me eye drops and causes mischief secretly, I won't be able to guard against her."
Jiang Linglong bid again and again, and soon the 'Key Jade' was raised from the starting price of five hundred spirit stones to more than four thousand.
However, compared to the first two auctions, there were not many bidders, and most people stopped bidding once or twice. Only Jiang Linglong bid for the seventy-two floating platforms.
Zhong Yan glanced at the audience below, his eyes suddenly stopped, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He saw a fat monk whose buttons on the desk kept flashing red and took action one after another, but it was 'Taoist Duobao'. He couldn't help but murmur: This guy is from the Jiang family. Are you looking for someone?
At this time, Jiang Linglong directly quoted 50,000 yuan, and the noise outside immediately stopped. Not to mention the outrageous price of 500,000 yuan, which was increased to 50,000 yuan. It was inconvenient for ordinary people to take action like this from the VIP table.
at the same time.
In another attic, the three core top executives of the Jiang family gathered together.
Someone came in and bowed to report: "Three ancestors, the number six floating platform is Miss Zhiyu, Miss Linglong, and Zhong Aotian."
The old man in black robe waved his hand and looked at each other.
"It was probably that guy Zhong Aotian who took the picture and gave it to the two girls."
"He got mixed up."
"It's better to be wrong than to let go. Check all the bidders."
