The temptation of the Soul Essence is too great, especially since it can increase the probability that people at the peak of the Soul Realm will survive the Heavenly Tribulation and enter the Soul Realm that the world dreams of. Under normal circumstances, people can safely survive the Heavenly Tribulation. , one or two people out of a hundred is considered very good, and sometimes even the entire army is wiped out. This shows that the heavenly tribulation is too terrible, and people who are not fully prepared do not dare to try to overcome the heavenly tribulation, because the heavenly tribulation represents It is suppression, destruction and irresistibility.
At this time, the convoy was getting closer and closer to the Tonglin City Gate, and everyone was excited. After four days and four nights of driving at high speed, it was finally reaching its destination. Even Dong Tianling and others breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous battle made him feel the pressure. If he only faced two opponents of the same level, he would still have no fear, but then the opponent called for help, and there were five masters who were at the same level as him. If the other party doesn't listen to the advice and really wants to think about it to the end, it's hard to say the outcome. After all, five versus three, the other party has a clear numerical advantage. Even if our side can win the final victory in the end, it will definitely be a tragic victory. , a lot of people will definitely die.
Therefore, when Mr. Ming Jing came forward to inform the other party that the essence of Lingshu was not in the car, persuaded them to retreat, and avoided a fierce battle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Dong Tianling and others.
Not long after, the convoy arrived in front of Tonglin City. At this time, the sun had just risen, and the sunlight was shining on the city gate tower directly in front. The tall and majestic Tonglin City Gate was even more majestic at this moment, and the convoy Everyone inside was overjoyed after seeing it.
"We're finally here, it's completely safe now!" At this time, someone didn't know who said this, and everyone else smiled. This was also their inner voice.
Anyone who has gone through the previous battle in the dark night and still arrived at the destination safely will sigh in his heart.
"Okay, everyone, go into the city!" Dong Tianling shouted to the motorcade and everyone behind him. At this moment, even he, the chief rudder of the Shuntian Escort Bureau who was responsible for the whole escort mission, was in a happy mood and no longer had any tension or depression.
"This mission has finally been completed. Next is the highlight of the day after tomorrow. I must obtain a piece of the soul essence and enter the soul realm that I have longed for!" In a happy mood, Dong Tianling secretly swore in his heart.
In order to obtain the Essence of Lingsali, Dong Tianling specifically asked Jin Yuner about the Essence of Lingsali and its original holder during the previous journey, and got a lot of useful information. He even ordered the escort agency to prepare some special information. To use this item in this auction, I want to increase the chance of getting the Essence of Lingshu through bidding. Obviously, for Dong Tianling, the essence of Lingshu is inevitable and cannot be lost.
There are many people who have this idea. Almost all the powerful people in the Tianchong realm who want to overcome the heavenly tribulation will do this. The attraction of Lingshu Essence is too great.
The sun had just risen, and the sunlight was slanting into Tonglin City. At this time, many shops in the city were not open for business, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, so the convoy stood out.
Five luxurious carriages were lined up in a row, and in front of each carriage were three beautiful Red Pegasus horses. You must know that the Red Pegasus horses are not only beasts of the underworld, but also the best things to pull carriages. They are only found among those big forces. Ordinary people usually can't see it at all, but now there are more than ten horses appearing at once. How can we not let the pedestrians passing by stop to look and whisper.
"Huh? There's Fengbaozhai's logo on that carriage... No wonder there are those red pegasus."
"Yes, I saw it too...but there are also a few carriages with other markings on them."
"It seems to be other big forces, probably not the sects in Tonglin City. I have never seen this sign."
"yes."
On both sides of the road, some pedestrians who stopped were talking about it. They rarely see such a formation.
Shi Jiu looked at the pointing pedestrians on both sides of the road without paying much attention. Now that the escort mission was about to end, he felt relaxed and at ease inside. He also fantasized about the auction meeting the day after tomorrow. He also wanted to gain something, although it was not very big. But I'll try my best.
Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived in front of a majestic building, which was where Fengbaozhai was located in Tonglin City.
But the appearance is more majestic and more imposing than Fengbaozhai in Lanming City. Fengbaozhai has been operating here much longer than in Lanming City. Fengbaozhai in Lanming City was only built in recent years. , so it is normal that Fengbaozhai here is more majestic.
In addition, what Shi Jiu didn't know was that Fengbaozhai in Tonglin City is also the oldest and largest one among the nearby counties. Fengbaozhai in other counties are all branched out from here. The main reason is that the overall Longnan County The strength is the strongest among the nearby counties. There are no fewer than five sects in Longnan County such as Shuntian Escort Agency. There are even rumors that there are soul-level experts in Longnan County. Of course, whether it is true or not is impossible for ordinary people. I know that only the top figures in the big powerful sects know about it.
At this time, a welcoming crowd had already stood in front of the gate of Fengbaozhai, divided into two rows on the left and right, with a red carpet laid in the middle to welcome the distinguished guests.
After the motorcade stopped, several beautiful maids opened the door for the carriage, allowing Mr. Ming Jing, Jin Yuner and others in the back car to step out one after another, and Dong Tianling, Shi Jiu and others also followed.
"Where is the Second Master?" At this time, Mr. Ming Jing asked the maid beside him.
"Go back to the uncle, the second master is waiting in the hall inside."
"Yes." Mr. Mirror nodded.
Then he followed the maid in front and walked forward, and the others followed.
Soon, the group came to an extremely spacious hall.
The hall is resplendent, and the lanterns above the head are all made of fine crystals. The decorations in the hall are all precious items, such as the very rare red coral that Shi Jiu saw. Ten pots were placed here at once. And each red coral is two meters high. Another example is the jade boy's gift on the side. The whole body is carved from the best white jade, and it must be carefully polished by the best jade master. It emits light fluorescence and is very beautiful. .
Shi Jiu looked around and found that there were so many good things here. Almost every beautiful thing was a rare treasure and difficult to buy on the market.
"As expected of Fengbaozhai, with its wealth and wealth, such treasures can be placed casually." Shi Jiu was envious but speechless.
These things may not be a big deal to Feng Baozhai, but they are an eye-opener for Shi Jiu.
"This is the real way to show off your wealth. It is done without deliberate effort, but makes others envious and speechless."
At this time, there were several people standing in the hall. Among them, a middle-aged man in the middle seat looked somewhat similar to Mr. Ming Jing. He should be the second uncle Ming Jing mentioned by Jin Yuner.
At this time, Uncle Ming in the hall smiled and said, "You are finally here. If you don't come, I will send people out to find you."
"We could have arrived faster, but we couldn't be ambushed, so we were delayed." Mr. Ming Jing said a little helplessly.
"Well, after I received your message, I also sent someone there. Fortunately, the other party didn't make it too difficult for you."
"That's because the essence of Lingshu is not in the car, otherwise those guys wouldn't let it go. It will be a fierce battle." Mr. Mingjing snorted coldly.
In front of the ultimate treasure, no one is easy to talk to. Even if they know that the other party comes from a super power, they will not back down. The previous battle is the best illustration.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You can have a good rest. I have prepared the room." Uncle Ming changed the subject and then ordered his men to take the convoy to rest.
As everyone in the motorcade left one after another, Shi Jiu was also preparing to leave and rest.
"Second Uncle, is the little beast I raised still there? It didn't starve to death, right?" Jin Yan'er stepped forward and smiled at Second Uncle Ming.
"How can you? I sent people to serve you with food and drinks, and you are much fatter now than when you left." Uncle Ming replied with a smile, with a look of doting on his face.
"Thank you very much, uncle. I'm going to rest first." Jin Yan'er blinked, and then walked towards the depths of Fengbaozhai surrounded by the maids.
Shi Jiu followed the attendant leading the way and walked towards his resting place.
Five minutes later, Shi Jiu followed the attendant to a quiet courtyard.
"Dear distinguished guest, please feel free to give us instructions if necessary. There is a special bell in the courtyard. As long as you press it, the maids will come over. If there are no instructions, I will go down first." The attendant said respectfully.
"Well, you go down." Shi Jiu nodded.
After the attendants left, Shi Jiu began to look at the small courtyard in front of him.
The small courtyard with pavilion and exquisite attic on the second floor has a beautiful and quiet environment. It is almost the same as the small courtyard where Shi Jiu lived in Fengbaozhai in Lanming City, except that it is quieter here.
Shi Jiu walked into the room and came to the bathing and changing area. At this time, the hot water in the pool was ready. Obviously Fengbaozhai had thought of everyone's needs in advance and had already prepared it.
After a while, Shi Jiu soaked into the pool, then sat happily on the edge of the pool and closed his eyes.
"It's so comfortable!" Shi Jiu said involuntarily.
After these days of traveling and last night's battle, Shi Jiu was exhausted physically and mentally. This beautiful hot bath made him very comfortable. His fatigue disappeared instantly, leaving him feeling relaxed and relaxed.
"It would be better if I had a glass of red wine."
The next moment, Shi Jiu called the maid, and then ordered to prepare a pot of fine wine through the barrier.
Soon, the maid came in with a jade pot and amber cup and placed them by the pool.
"Dear distinguished guest, do you need to wipe your back?" The maid's soft voice sounded in Shi Jiu's ears.
Shi Jiu, who was enjoying the hot bath at the moment, subconsciously replied: "Okay."
Then she turned around naturally, and the maid on the side knelt with her legs to support him, and wiped Shi Jiu's back with a delicate silk cloth in her hand.
