"Originally, this book of Chang Lin's Experience was going to be one of the lots in this auction. Now that I have given it to you, the previously promised book of martial arts will replace it and become the penultimate item in the auction. Are you interested in bidding?" Jin Yuner asked with a smile.
"Of course I'm interested, but my financial resources are limited, so that martial arts skill probably won't be relevant to me." Shi Jiu shook his head pretending to be disappointed.
This is also true. Shi Jiu is naturally interested in powerful martial arts. Even swordsmanship that he is not good at can be used as a reference, even if it is used as a trading item in the future to exchange things that interest him with others. But the most important reason is that Shi Jiu plans to use most of the available resources on the essence of spiritual saliva, which is what he wants most in this auction.
"I think you saved most of the treasures until the end to bid for the essence of the spirit saliva, right?" Jin Yuner directly revealed Shi Jiu's little thoughts, making the other party look embarrassed.
"hehe."
Having seen through his thoughts, Shi Jiu could only hide himself with a silly smile, which made Jin Yuner laugh out loud instead.
"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Well, I still have to remind you that although there will be five pieces of spiritual saliva essence that will be auctioned, there are hundreds of companies participating in the auction this time, such as the Shuntian Escort Bureau and other big forces. There are dozens of them, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to win a piece of Lingshu Essence, so you have to be prepared to be disappointed." Kim Yuner once again kindly reminded you.
"Well, I know this. I don't have high hopes, but I still have to try my best. At least there is some hope." Shi Jiu answered truthfully.
"By the way, this auction has a very high standard. It should be the largest in recent years. Not only are there many items to be auctioned, but they are also very precious. You can also take some of them. You will definitely not be disappointed."
"Well, that's for sure. As long as I see something I like, I will definitely bid. No matter what, I have to get one, otherwise it will be a waste of time." Shi Jiu nodded and responded to Jin Yan'er.
"Okay, then I wish you success in bidding." Jin Yuner raised her glass and wished Shi Jiu success.
"Thank you, Miss Yan'er, for your kind words." Shi Jiu also raised his glass and greeted each other in the distance.
Just when Shijiu and Jin Yuner were chatting happily, various rare spiritual birds would fly to Tonglin City in luxurious cars from time to time, causing many pedestrians in the city to stop and watch, and talk about it.
"What's going on? It seems that we have a lot of big shots coming to Tonglin City?"
"Hey, haven't you heard? Many of these big shots are not from our local sect in Longnan County, but from several nearby counties. They are all here to participate in the auction held in Zai Feng Baozhai the day after tomorrow."
"It doesn't cost so much, right? Fengbaozhai holds several auctions every year, but I've never seen so many big shot cars come to the auction, right?"
"Your information is not sensitive at all, because there will be extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth in this auction, and these big shots are all here for the treasures of heaven and earth."
"Really? What kind of treasure is that that allows such a big shot to attend?"
"I don't know, but I heard that the treasure is most attractive to those at the peak of the soul realm."
"Oh, it's no wonder, then our five major gangs in Longnan County will definitely attend."
"Of course, and I hope that the treasure can be finally harvested by our sect in Longnan County, so that the wealth will not flow to outsiders."
"Haha, that's right! Let those outsiders come here in vain."
…
At this time, a Chitian carriage descended and stopped outside the gate of Fengbaozhai, and then a tall young man walked out of the carriage. His body was full of strength. If Shi Jiu came again, he would definitely recognize the other person as his former self. Dong Hu, the young master of Shuntian Escort Agency, whom he met in Moluo Cave.
Dong Hu ignored the stares from around him and quickly walked into Fengbaozhai.
In front of a luxurious palace in Tonglin City, Liu Ruyi, the descendant of Shuitian Pavilion who had a feud with Shi Jiu, walked out of his exclusive car wearing a veil and entered the palace.
Scenes like this appeared from time to time in Tonglin City at this time.
After the banquet, Shi Jiu returned to his residence and couldn't wait to take out Chang Lin's experience. Looked up.
This Chang Lin's Experience was written by Hong Changlin, a well-known formation master, a hundred years ago. Although it was not a work after he became famous, it was written when he was young, otherwise Feng Baozhai would not have given it to Shi Jiu.
After Shi Jiu read a few pages carefully, he found that it was to his liking.
What it talks about is not the layout of those famous formations, etc., but some personal insights and summaries of Hong Changlin's study of ordinary formations when he was young, as well as his own improvement and understanding of those formations.
This is exactly what Shi Jiu needs now. He doesn't have the experience or strength to set up formations yet, nor does he even have the various materials needed, so he needs to learn it from scratch.
Before the Da Chi Sword Emperor fell asleep, he passed his history and experience into Shi Jiu's mind, which also contained some knowledge about formations. However, the senior Sword Emperor was not a master of formations after all, and his knowledge of formations was limited. And now with this Chang Lin's experience, Shi Jiu felt that he should be able to understand and master it in a short time. The only thing missing was factual observation and arrangement.
However, Shi Jiu is not worried that such field experience will come in the future.
Shi Jiu watched it for two hours, fascinated, and then he finally finished it. Of course, this does not mean that you will not need to read it in the future. This general look is just an overview to give you an understanding and facilitate your detailed reading and understanding in the future.
After reading Chang Lin's experience, Shi Jiu closed his eyes and silently digested and absorbed it.
After a long time, Shi Jiu opened his eyes, "What a good book, of infinite value!"
Shi Jiu lamented that it was a great deal to escort Jin Yuner to get such a highly valuable formation book.
…
On the afternoon of the second day, Shi Jiu walked on the street wearing the special mask presented by Jin Yuner.
Tonglin City is very large and lively, even more prosperous than Tianyou City and Lanming City. There are many shops on both sides of the road, people coming and going, and the sounds of various hawkings are endless.
Shi Jiu, like ordinary people, stopped in front of various vendors from time to time to inquire about prices. At the same time, he also noticed that there were many people from various sects holding various weapons, whether on the street or in restaurants.
After a while, Shi Jiu walked into a teahouse. At this time, the teahouse was full of people, many of whom were members of the sect. These people were talking a lot, and their faces were full of expectations and excitement.
"Dear fellow members of the Mingji Sect, I am following my sect leader and several elders here for the auction of Fengbaozhai." A man wearing a five-color striped shirt said proudly to him The three people nearby said proudly.
"What's there to be proud of? Which one of the various factions in Tonglin City is not here for tomorrow's auction?" someone on the side said disdainfully.
"What this dear friend said is, unless you can capture the last treasure, don't be complacent here. It will only make you a joke to others."
"I, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, have come here in person, and I will definitely be able to win the final treasure!" The man who spoke proudly at first immediately boosted his momentum.
"Hmph! What a joke! Do you know how many sect leaders and sect leaders from big forces have come, but no one is 100% sure that they can win the final treasure!" Someone else retorted next to him.
"Nonsense! If our sect leader personally takes action, he will surely succeed in one fell swoop. Just wait and see with envy." The man from the Five Elements Sect said proudly.
But what he attracted was not envy and jealousy, but a lot of ridicule and ridicule.
Shi Jiu sat at the table in the corner, quietly listening to the various remarks and ridicules made by others.
Although he did not see the real big names in each sect, but only some of his disciples, Shi Jiu could imagine how exciting and intense the auction tomorrow night would be.
"I heard that the auction tomorrow night will be hosted by Miss Yan'er from Fengbaozhai. She is a first-class beauty. I have had insomnia for a long time since she went to Lanhai County a few years ago. I can see her tomorrow. Just thinking about it makes me so excited." At this time, someone changed the topic.
At the same time, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, Miss Yan'er hasn't returned to Tonglin City for a long time. I must witness her style tomorrow."
"Really? Is Miss Yan'er really beautiful?" the disciple of the Five Elements Sect asked.
"Sure enough, it is a small sect. Even Miss Yan'er from Fengbaozhai has never heard of it. How dare you be proud of it here?"
"Hmph! How dare you disrespect me, the Five Elements Sect, and challenge me to a duel!" The members of the Five Elements Sect said angrily to the person who made the rude remarks, holding the long sword tightly in their hands.
"Let's fight one on one! Are we, the Netherworld Sect, still afraid of you?"
With that said, the Mingji Sect member was about to walk out with a big sword in his hand.
Seeing this, someone immediately came out to make peace and persuaded the two of them not to be angry: "The five major sects in Tonglin City have an order that prohibits fighting in the city. Violators will be killed without mercy. So you two should calm down and think peace is the most important thing. Don't You're going to waste your life."
After hearing the persuasion, the Five Elements Sect and the Mingji Sect, who wanted to have a fight, sat back down. They dare not disobey the ban of the five major sects in Tonglin City, otherwise they will really be killed.
There are five sects in Tonglin City, which Shi Jiu had known about before, namely Jianxiao Pavilion, Ludan Valley, Linyi Gang, Liuyun Sect and Tonglin Temple.
The strength of these five sects is almost the same, and each leader is a strong man at the peak of the soul realm. They are extremely powerful, no weaker than Shuntian Escort Agency. The joint ban of these five factions is an iron rule in Tonglin City, and almost no one dares to disobey it.
Afterwards, the restaurant resumed its previous bustle.
After Shi Jiu drank a pot of tea and left a bunch of money, he left the restaurant and continued wandering on the street.
After a while, Shi Jiu came to a shop selling underworld cores and underworld beasts.
Just as Shi Jiu was listening to the shopkeeper's introduction and making random selections, an old man and a girl walked in outside the shop.
"Miss, do you want to buy a Hades Core? We can just have this thing delivered to you. It's better to come here in person." At this time, the old man smiled at the girl in front of him.
"What good things can be found here? I'm just bored and wandering around, otherwise it would be too boring." The girl glanced around casually, picked up a Hades Core, put it down, and had no intention of buying it.
