It was also the first time for Shi Jiu to see the Zerg underworld beast, and he didn't know how to start.
"Actually, they are almost the same, but most insect-like beasts have their Hades cores in their bodies, not in their heads." At this time, the voice of the Great Red Sword Emperor sounded.
In this case, Shi Jiu took out a big knife, then turned the black-footed devil's body over, exposing its weak belly, and then cut open the black-footed devil's belly with a knife without ceremony.
After a lot of tinkering, Shi Jiu finally caught a dark thing.
"Is this the core of the black-footed worm?" Shi Jiu released his palm, revealing a black "walnut".
This thing was a bit disgusting, and coupled with the mucus on his hands, Shi Jiu was a little disgusted, and then he immediately took out some water and washed it.
"Senior Sword Emperor, is this insect nether core useful?" Shi Jiu asked. He really didn't like this netherworld core.
"It's useful. It can be absorbed or refined, but it's more used in setting up formations." Da Chi Sword Emperor replied.
"In that case, let's keep it." With that said, Shi Jiu put away the hell core.
"That's it for now, let's move on."
Two days later, Shi Jiu arrived at Tahe City.
The scale of Tahe City is much larger than Chunyi City, and the city is relatively prosperous, somewhat similar to Liushan City.
Since he had been traveling for many days, Shi Jiu had no time to go shopping. After a night's rest, he got on the Chitian carriage to Lanming City the next morning.
Lanming City and Tahe City are far apart, about 30,000 miles away. After five days of flight, Shi Jiu arrived at Lanming City.
This time, Shi Jiu did not plan to leave for Shuilin City immediately, but wanted to rest in Lanming City for two or three days. Firstly, since leaving Yangu City, Shi Jiu has hardly had much rest. Secondly, Lanming City is the county seat of Lanhai County. It is an extremely prosperous large city. Shi Jiu plans to take a stroll and purchase some supplies. , most of it has been consumed in the previous rush.
After entering the city, Shi Jiu chose a luxurious restaurant. After entering the box, after a brief arrangement, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.
In the evening, Shi Jiu opened his eyes when the waiter knocked on the door.
"Sir, as per your request, I brought the dinner." The waiter left the room after putting down the dinner.
Shi Jiu didn't hesitate. After finishing his meal quickly, he left the inn and started shopping.
As the county seat of Lanhai County, Lanming City is indeed very prosperous, comparable to Tianyou City.
On the streets, people were coming and going, and the sounds of various sales were endless. Shi Jiu shook off his rush mentality and started shopping leisurely. At the same time, he did not forget to purchase the necessary supplies.
When passing by a shop selling Hades core, Shi Jiu walked into the shop driven by curiosity.
"Sir, what do you want?" Seeing someone coming in, the shop assistant immediately asked with a smile.
"What types of Hades Cores are there?" Shi Jiu asked.
"The Hades Cores in our store range from Level 1 to Level 4. I wonder which one you need?" the store clerk replied with a smile.
"How do you sell the third-level Hades core in your store? Do you have insect-type Hades cores?"
"Customer, there are cheap and expensive third-level Hades cores. The cheap ones are three thousand gold, and the expensive ones need to be paid with crystal yuan. As for the insect Hades cores you mentioned, our store doesn't have them. If you really need it, you can Make an appointment and we’ll send someone to help you find it.”
"Okay, let me think about it." After saying that, Shi Jiu started to walk out.
Shi Jiu originally wanted to sell the black-legged Hades core, but gave up the plan after hearing the price. In comparison, it was more valuable to absorb it himself.
After leaving the store, Shi Jiu continued shopping.
After a night, although I didn't gain much, I felt very good.
At noon the next day, Shi Jiu was drinking on the second floor, when the conversation of the person leading the table reached Shi Jiu's ears.
"Tomorrow, there will be a large-scale auction in Fengbaozhai. I heard that many famous sects and powerful people will be present."
"I've also heard that Fengbaozhai has already spread the word that there are two extraordinary items to be auctioned this time."
"Oh? What is it?"
"I don't know. I guess only the big sects who were invited know about it."
"That's right. How can we ordinary people know that? Forget it, let's continue drinking."
…
"Fengbaozhai? This name seems familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere." After hearing the word Fengbaozhai mentioned by the receptionist, Shi Jiu felt a sense of familiarity.
"Remember, it was the one Hao Yun mentioned." Shi Jiu thought for a moment and then remembered a young man he had met in Tianyou City before. At that time, the two of them had explored the ruins of the Five Gates together. When they finally parted ways in Tianyou City, the other party had said that if they left Tianyou County, they could come to Fengbaozhai to find him.
Shi Jiu is not sure that he will be able to see Hao Yun in Fengbaozhai here, but he is very interested in tomorrow's auction.
On the afternoon of the third day, Shi Jiu came to Fengbaozhai Tower.
"This Fengbaozhai is really magnificent." Shi Jiu had walked through many cities and seen various luxurious and majestic buildings, but compared with the Fengbaozhai in front of him, it was obviously much inferior. Fengbaozhai, which stands in front of Shijiu, not only occupies a very large area, but also has many buildings, stretching into a piece. Its grandeur is comparable to that of an imperial palace.
"It seems that the power behind Fengbaozhai is very amazing."
Although Shi Jiu was wandering around Lanming City these days, he also secretly learned about the various forces in Lanming City, among which the Fire Fist Sect, Shuitian Pavilion and Shuntian Escort Bureau were the strongest. The branches of these three sects in Lanming City are far less spectacular than Fengbaozhai.
After Shi Jiu straightened his clothes, he walked straight in.
After entering the hall, Shi Jiu was immediately attracted by the magnificence in front of him. The entire hall is almost made of gold and crystal, and its roof presents a beautiful starry sky. If you look carefully, you will find that the stars on it are all polished from crystal elements.
Just as Shi Jiu sighed secretly, the sweet voice of the etiquette lady at the front desk sounded.
"Guest, do you need any help?"
Seeing this, Shi Jiu smiled and said, "I want to participate in today's auction."
"Do you have an invitation letter?"
"No."
"Then you need to pay an admission fee to participate in tonight's auction. One hundred taels of gold for ordinary seats, five hundred taels for premium seats, and one crystal yuan for VIP rooms."
"VIP room." After saying that, Shi Jiu took out an ordinary crystal element and handed it over.
After accepting the crystal, the etiquette lady immediately led the way and said at the same time: "Dear guest, we will provide you with the ultimate service."
After a while, the etiquette lady led Shi Jiu to a private room.
"Dear guests, you can watch the auction directly from the front. If you have any instructions, just press this bell and we will come over. I wish you a great harvest."
Under the "guidance" of the etiquette lady, Shi Jiu became familiar with the auction process.
After the etiquette lady exited the room, Shi Jiu scanned the entire room with his spiritual consciousness. After confirming that there was no problem, he relaxed.
"Senior Sword Emperor, have you ever participated in an auction before?" Although he did not see the Great Red Sword Emperor, Shi Jiu knew that he was beside him.
Sure enough, after hearing Shi Jiu's inquiry, the Great Red Sword Emperor appeared.
"Nonsense, of course I have participated in it, and it is much more advanced than here. The items in the auction are also of the highest quality, and cannot be bought with money at all." The Great Red Sword Emperor said with some pride.
"In this case, I'm relieved." Shi Jiu pretended to be relieved.
Seeing Shi Jiu's expression, the Da Chi Dao Emperor became uneasy and asked, "Boy, what do you mean? Please explain it to me clearly."
"Oh, it's nothing, it's like this..." Shi Jiu paused deliberately, and then continued: "This kid has never participated in a trading meeting, and he has no idea about the quality and value of auction items, but Senior Sword Emperor, you have attended I have been through auctions and have far more experience than I do, so I thought..."
"You want me to help you check and remind you which ones can be photographed and which ones are worthless, right?" Da Chi Sword Emperor interrupted Shi Jiu's words and said directly.
"As expected of a strong man in the soul realm, he knows things like a god, I admire him!" Shi Jiu immediately complimented him.
"Okay, stop flattering me. I will remind you when you encounter something good." Although the Great Red Sword Emperor said this, he still felt very satisfied in his heart.
"Well, that's it. I know you have very high standards. Some items may not be in your eyes, but they may be useful to me, so..." Shi Jiu wanted to explain further.
"I know, I am sensible." Da Chi Dao Emperor rolled his eyes at Shi Jiu, and then disappeared.
Shi Jiu was very satisfied. He still trusted the vision of a powerful person in the soul realm.
Next, Shi Jiu sat on a rocking chair made of rosewood, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
