Of course, this is not the reason why Shi Jiu is so moved. What really makes Shi Jiu eager to participate in the bidding is that the essence of Lingshu can completely shape the semi-finished treasure.
Previously, Shi Jiu obtained the treasure Cloud-covering Shadow Heart Gate in the Five Underworld Halls of Fuyun Mountain. However, the Great Red Sword Emperor identified it as a semi-finished treasure that was still in the final step to be completed. Moreover, at that time, the Great Red Sword Emperor was still It was mentioned that the Lingshu Heart Essence was needed to neutralize the mutual repulsion between the various precious materials in this treasure in order to complete the final step of forming the treasure. From then on, Shi Jiu also had an additional task of finding the Lingshu Heart Essence.
Now that Shi Jiu knows the whereabouts of the essence of Lingshu, he can get it as long as he is willing to pay a huge price. How can this not make Shi Jiu excited and eager? Moreover, the effect of this Lingshu Essence is better than that of the Lingshu Heart Essence. It can definitely solve the problem of forming your own treasure, Cloud Covering Shadow Heart Gate, allowing it to bloom with the true power and brilliance of the treasure.
But then when he thought that there would be so many powerful sects participating in the bidding, Shi Jiu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom again.
Except for the Beiming Breathing Technique and the Poshan Code, which must not be passed on to others, he really didn't have much that he could offer to bid for the Essence of Spirit Saliva. Shi Jiu thought about it carefully, and the only ones available for bidding were the few crystal yuan and the Yu Xinzhu that had snatched the Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion in the Gulan Sea a few days ago. Although the number was still large, after all, this Yu Xinzhu couldn't see the light of day, especially since he also learned that Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion would also participate in the bidding, which made it even more impossible to bid. Coupled with the rules at the auction, the bidding for this Lingshu Essence It must be an exchange of things, and only the person who brings out the most valuable treasure in the audience can finally win the Essence of Spiritual Saliva.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart. He probably had no chance with the essence of spirit saliva. He really didn't have enough financial resources, so he could only be a spectator.
"How is it? Do you have some thoughts in your mind? This is normal, but few cultivators can resist the temptation of Lingshu Essence." After seeing Shi Jiu's shocked expression, Jin Yuner also smiled proudly, At the same time, don’t forget a little temptation.
Looking at Jin Yan'er's cunning and charming expression, Shi Jiu nodded slightly and said: "Miss Yan'er, you are right. As long as a cultivator is a practitioner, no one can resist the temptation of the essence of spiritual saliva, but I also have self-knowledge. It's impossible for me to participate in the bidding of so many powerful people. Even if the God's Appearance is really won by me, I will definitely not be able to hold on, and it will definitely lead to death, so I can only be a spectator and enjoy my life. , I don’t think much about anything else.”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to say these words. I thought you would beat Huo Meng of the Fire Fist Sect with your bold bidding like last time, and win the Nocturnal Dream Box without any suspense. Where is the essence of Lingshu?" Jin Yan'er said with a smile.
"Miss Yan'er is joking. I was just lucky last time, but if the other party continues to increase the price, I will definitely not follow up. My financial resources are really limited." Shi Jiu pretended to sigh and shook his head, but then he also threw out Question, "For such a precious treasure, Lingshu Essence, I wonder if Fengbaozhai will secretly participate in the bidding. At least I think it will be of great use to Mr. Ming Jing."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to actually care about our Fengbaozhai. How about I invite you to join our Fengbaozhai? As long as you are willing to join, we can provide you with the martial arts you wanted for free." Jin Yuner didn't. She thought that Shi Jiu would question her in return, but having been engaged in auctions for a long time, she had a strong ability to adapt to the situation, so she immediately responded to Shi Jiu's question and countered the other party.
"Thank you, Miss Yan'er, for your kindness. It's just that I'm used to being free and don't like to be restrained. I appreciate your kindness. I'm really not up to the task. I hope you can forgive me." Jin Yan'er's counterargument surprised Shi Jiu a little. But then he politely declined.
Maybe Fengbaozhai can provide good treatment, but Shi Jiu is really unwilling. He would rather rely on his own ability to break out of the world and climb to a higher realm. He has his own pursuit.
"In this case, I won't force anyone to make things difficult for you. If you have difficulties, I, Fengbaozhai, will try my best to help. Of course, if you do more than a certain amount of work, I, Fengbaozhai, will also charge a certain fee." Jin Yuner smiled slyly again.
"Thank you very much, Miss Yan'er, for your kindness. I'll remember it."
In the non-stop driving, the day passed quickly. In the evening, the convoy set up camp in a clearing in the forest.
Soon several bonfires were lit up. Except for the people responsible for guarding, everyone else gathered around the bonfires, either making fires to cook or talking to each other.
Shi Jiu, Jin Yuner and her maids were sitting around a bonfire. At this time, Dong Tianling, who was in charge of escorting, came over and asked, "Mr. Ming Jing, won't you come down? Now you can take a rest and relax."
"Sorry, it's impossible for me, Uncle Ming, to leave the essence of Lingshu before arriving at Fengbaozhai in Longnan County. I hope Uncle Dong can forgive me." Jin Yan'er apologized.
"Understood, just like my Shuntian escort, I will also relax before the escort is over." Dong Tianling nodded, and then sat next to Shi Jiu, which also surprised Shi Jiu slightly.
"Do you mind if I sit here?" Dong Tianling asked Shi Jiu with a smile.
"Of course not. It is my good fortune, Ge Xing, to have Master Dong sitting next to me. This way I will be safer." Seeing this, Shi Jiu also replied generously.
"Little brother, I always feel like I've seen you before. Could it be that you and the guard named Shi Jiu that Miss Yan'er hired before are the same person?" Dong Tianling glanced at Shi Jiu, then asked in a normal way, and at the same time Add fuel to the fire from time to time.
"Master Dong is joking. I know the Shi Jiu you mentioned. In fact, I also met Miss Yan'er through him. Speaking of which, I have to thank him, but it's a pity that he has already..." At this point, Shi Jiu shook his head in cooperation.
"So that's how it is. It's really a pity. I saw him in Moluo Cave before that he could stop Huo Meng from Fire Fist Sect and Liu Ruyi from Shuitian Pavilion. His strength should be ranked among the top of the younger generation in Lanhai County. If you can survive, you will definitely shine in the future. It's a pity." After Dong Tianlin sighed, he glanced at Shi Jiu again, with doubt in his eyes, but he concealed it well, and recovered after one glance. In their normal state, neither Shi Jiu nor Jin Yuner noticed.
"Okay, I won't disturb you young people's chat. I'm going to walk around." After saying that, Dong Tianling stood up and left, heading towards the dense forest ahead.
After Dong Tianling disappeared completely, Jin Yan'er whispered: "It seems that Uncle Dong is beginning to doubt you, you have to be careful."
"Yes, I know. But even if he knows, will he tell Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion about my situation?" Shi Jiu nodded.
In fact, he is not very worried that Dong Tianling will know his true identity. After all, he has nothing to do with Shuntian Escort Bureau. In addition, Dong Hu from Shuntian Escort Bureau is a very happy person. Shi Jiu feels good about him, and as Dong Hu's father Dong Tianling must be similar. He is probably a happy person and would not do such a villainous thing as informing someone.
"Probably not. Uncle Dong is a generous and upright man, and he is meticulous in his work. Even if he does find out your true identity, he will not reveal it. After all, you and the Shuntian Escort Agency have no relationship, so you don't have to worry too much." As expected, Jin Yuner's The words he said were similar to his own thoughts, which made Shi Jiu feel more at ease.
"By the way, I received a message this morning. Someone snatched the Yu Xinzhu from Fire Fist Gate and Shuitian Pavilion on a small island in the Gulan Sea a few days ago. Do you know?" Jin Yan'er half-bent her head and smiled. She looked at Shi Jiu with a playful expression on her beautiful face.
Shi Jiu did not answer immediately, but looked at Jin Yuner first. After seeing the other party's playful expression, he already knew in his heart that the other party must have guessed the truth and knew that he had done it.
However, Shi Jiu did not respond directly. He just said: "Since you dare to rob the Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion, you must have a grudge against those two families. In addition, I also heard that that person only robbed most of it, but those two families There are still some Yu Xinzhu that I couldn’t get, which is a pity, otherwise it would be even more perfect, don’t you think so, Miss Yan’er?”
While saying this, there was no regret on Shi Jiu's face, but a relaxed expression, as if he knew the other party would ask this.
"Well, I agree with you." Jin Yuner nodded very cooperatively.
"Since we are talking about Yu Xinzhu, I also want to ask, what is so good about that thing that it can make people rob Fire Fist Sect and Shuitian Pavilion for it?" At this time, Shi Jiu asked naturally.
"Oh? Don't you know?" Jin Yan'er winked at Shi Jiu playfully, and then explained: "Yu Xinzhu is somewhat similar to crystal yuan. It contains pure Ming Yuan. It is also suitable for practitioners to use, and it does not have any The side effect is that ordinary-sized Yuxin Pearls contain less Ming Yuan and not as much as Crystal Yuan. Of course, if it is a large one, there will be a lot of energy in it, and its value is no lower than the best Crystal Yuan, and may even be higher. Some. By the way, if you have Yu Xinzhu, you can come to my Fengbaozhai to sell it, or exchange it for other items, such as the powerful martial arts you really want."
Speaking of this, Jin Yuner unleashed more charm techniques on Shi Jiu, hoping to induce Shi Jiu to tell the truth.
At the same time, Shi Jiu also noticed Jin Yuner's intention, and then pretended to be confused, "If I had known this, I would have gone there to grab it. It's a pity that I missed such a good opportunity!"
As he said this, Shi Jiu shook his head with regret.
At this moment, seeing Shi Jiu's series of actions, Jin Yuner felt a little unhappy.
"I've already said this, and you still confused me, which is a bit too much!" Although she thought so in her heart, it was impossible for Jin Yuner to say this, "I have already said it, if you have any, You can get the deal from Feng Baozhai, and we will definitely keep it secret."
"Okay, if I have time next time, I will definitely come to Fengbaozhai. Thank you, Miss Yan'er, for informing me." Shi Jiu responded with a smile, completely filtering out the trace of unhappiness on the other person's face.
