"Grandma's birthday will be in a few months. I would like to buy some gifts as a token of filial piety, but there is really nothing good in this remote place." The girl looked disappointed.
"There will be an auction tomorrow. Maybe some treasures will appear then. If the lady likes them, we will take them." The old man behind the girl said with a smile.
"Maybe, but don't get your hopes up."
Obviously, the girl is not very interested in tomorrow's auction and doesn't think there will be any great treasures tomorrow.
Shi Jiu frowned. Tomorrow's auction will be the grandest in recent years. Not only will many local big forces in Longnan County participate, but many big forces and sects from nearby counties will also participate. I drank tea in the tea house before. At that time, he met many sects from other counties.
The protagonist of this auction is the rare treasure of heaven and earth - the Essence of Lingshu, and almost all the forces are here for it. Although most people may not know what treasures will be auctioned tomorrow, everyone who is invited to participate in this auction must know that the treasure at the bottom of the box tomorrow is the essence of Lingshu. And listening to the conversation between the girl and the old man, it is obvious that they will also know it tomorrow. If he participated, he must also know about the essence of Lingshu, but the girl still thought that no treasure would appear, which made Shi Jiu feel puzzled and surprised.
"Let's go, Uncle Jiu, there's nothing good here, let's go somewhere else." After saying that, the girl was the first to walk out of the shop and left without looking back, followed closely by the old man behind her.
Shi Jiu turned around and looked in the direction where the two people disappeared. His alert body relaxed, but he was very surprised and curious in his heart.
A strange grandfather and granddaughter, but their background seems very unusual. The girl's cultivation level is average, she should be about the same as Shi Jiu, in the spirit realm, but the old man behind her is very special. Although her words are very amiable, Shi Jiu has a cautious look on his face, because the old man gives him a very special feeling. It was unusual, it was a special sense of danger, and this sense of danger even exceeded the feeling given to him by Dong Tianling, the chief rudder of the Shuntian Escort Agency, and this sense of danger was deeply hidden. If Shi Jiu hadn't practiced Beiming In the breathing method, one's own quality in all aspects has been greatly improved. His spiritual consciousness and consciousness can be compared with those at the peak of the Soul Realm. Only then can he notice a trace, while other cultivators would not be able to sense it at all.
When the girl and the old man were watching casually in the shop, Shi Jiu never turned around to look at each other, because he had noticed the old man's vague sense of danger. He didn't turn around until the other party left completely. Look in the direction the other person is leaving.
"It seems that she is a disciple of some big force, and she is probably going for tomorrow's auction. It seems that the girl has a very high status, and the strength of the person she protects is at the peak of the soul... Alas, tomorrow's auction must be a... It's a battle between dragons and tigers... The essence of spirit saliva is probably hanging." Shi Jiu sighed silently in his heart.
Although he had expected it, he was really surprised to meet an old man at the peak of his power while walking around the street. You must know that it is difficult for even a strong person in the central realm to see it, let alone the peak soul realm. It can only be said that the attraction of the essence of spiritual saliva is too great.
At this moment, Shi Jiu felt that the probability of him being able to bid for a piece of Lingshu Essence was much lower, and he felt very helpless.
At this time, the old man who was following the girl before was a little curious.
"A little guy in the spirit realm seems to have noticed a trace of my aura... That tense body, solemn expression... interesting." The old man laughed unconsciously.
"Uncle Jiu, why are you laughing?" The girl in front asked in confusion when she heard the laughter of the old man behind her.
"It's nothing, I just thought the little guy I just saw in the store was interesting." The old man whispered.
"Oh? There must be something special about the little guy that Uncle Jiu can say is interesting." The girl also became interested: "Uncle Jiu, what is it about that guy that makes you find it interesting?"
"Miss, the young man in the shop seemed to have noticed a trace of my aura. His whole body was tense, as if facing a powerful enemy, and he stood there like a statue, which made me feel interesting." The old man did not hide anything and said directly. come out.
"Huh? Just now in the shop, there was a young man standing there with his back to us. I feel that he is about the same level of cultivation as me, but he can actually detect a trace of your aura, Uncle Jiu? You are a strong person in the soul realm. That guy is How did he do it? Does he have a treasure that can be used to detect and search?" the girl asked doubtfully.
"I don't know, so I think it's interesting." The old man still smiled.
"Forget it, it's impossible for a genius to amaze Youlong Continent to appear in this remote place. Let's go to other places." The girl immediately lost interest, changed direction and continued walking forward, while the old man behind her refused to leave.
Shi Jiu couldn't hear the conversation between the girl and the old man. If he could hear it, Shi Jiu would definitely be shocked by the old man's identity.
Soul realm powerhouses are not something you can just see if you can see them. Even the Da Chi Dao Emperor that Shi Jiu met was also a soul realm powerhouse, but after all, the opponent was not alive, just a wisp of light. Obsession, but in a living soul-level strongman, how can it not shock people? It is definitely the top existence in Longnan County. If the old man is willing, it is no problem to rule the entire Longnan County.
But now this soul-level old man is willing to accompany a young girl and protect her personally. Then this girl's background is really terrifying.
But Shi Jiu didn't know about all this, and he walked out of the shop at this time without buying any Hades core.
First, the level of the Nether Cores sold in this shop is not high, and the best one is only a fourth-level Nether Core. Secondly, Shi Jiu has no shortage of energy-containing treasures such as Nether Cores, including many Yu Xin Beads alone. , In addition, he also has some crystal elements, and the absorption of crystal elements and Yu Xinzhu has no side effects, which is much better than the Hades Core.
After walking around for a while, Shi Jiu felt that there was nothing interesting and planned to go back to Fengbaozhai.
At this time, many sect members with weapons in front were running towards the south.
Shi Jiu was curious and stopped a person who was about to go.
"Fellow Taoist, what's wrong with you? Are you all running towards the south? What happened?" Shi Jiu asked very politely.
"Outside the city gate, two gangs, the Ghost Fire Sect and the Ax Gang, were fighting. Everyone went to watch." After saying that, the people stopped by Shi Jiu immediately ran forward.
"Ghost Fire Sect? Ax Gang? Are the two parties fighting?" Shi Jiu suddenly felt curious, and then followed the others towards the south city gate.
A quarter of an hour later, Shi Jiu followed the crowd to the outside of the south city gate, where a large number of people were already gathered. Shi Jiu stood on the periphery of the crowd and could vaguely see two groups of people facing each other in the front. Among them, the group on the left was a tall young man in the front, wearing a black robe with gold silk, and holding both hands. Behind him, he was looking at the opposite side with a proud face, but his face was pale and there were two dots of blood red in his eyes. If he saw him at night, he would probably be frightened.
"People from the will-o'-the-wisp sect?" Shi Jiu subconsciously recognized it. He couldn't help but think of these blood-red eyes like will-o'-the-wisp.
A group of people on the opposite side each held an ax. They were obviously members of the Ax Gang, and the leader was a middle-aged man. At this time, a wound was clearly visible on his right arm, which was bleeding continuously.
Shi Jiu inquired a little and found out the general reason.
It turned out that early this morning, a fisherman salvaged a dagger inlaid with various gems from Tonglin Lake, thirty miles south of the city. Then a passing Ax Gang group saw it and bought it. Afterwards, it was identified. It was confirmed that the dagger was a slightly damaged secret treasure, but for some reason the news leaked out and was known to the people of the Ghost Fire Sect. Then the Young Master of the Ghost Fire Sect led people to block the path of the Ax Gang and a group of people, and a big battle ensued. Down, the Ax Gang was defeated, and the leading middle-aged man was also injured.
Just now, the secret treasure dagger was snatched away by the people from the Ghost Fire Sect.
Shi Jiu was behind the crowd and looked at the two groups of people in front.
The young man with a pale face and blood-red eyes must be Li Hen, the young master of the Ghost Fire Sect. He looked proud and held a dagger inlaid with gems in his right hand. Under the light, the dagger gave off a cold light.
"This dagger suits me very well. Everyone in the Ax Gang, don't be angry. The law of the jungle has always been strong in Youlong Continent, and those with the ability to acquire treasures will get them. If I want to blame, it's because your Ax Gang is not as good as others, haha!" Li Hen, the young master of the Ghost Fire Sect, said He said with a proud smile.
"Hmph! Today, I, the Ax Gang, admit defeat, but you, the Ghost Fire Sect, are not too proud. You may not be able to win the final treasure at tomorrow's auction!" the bleeding middle-aged man from the Ax Gang said angrily.
"I won't bother you, the Ax Gang, to worry about you. The Ghost Fire Sect is determined to get the soul essence! Why aren't you leaving? Do you want us to send you away?" Li Hen of the Ghost Fire Sect didn't care about the other party's words, but was full of confidence. .
"Let's go!" The middle-aged man from the Ax Gang had no choice but to flee with the group of people behind him.
At this time, Shi Jiu was a little surprised, but it was not because of the strength of the Ghost Fire Sect or the helpless retreat of the Ax Gang, but because he saw several groups surrounded by people in the crowd and on the south city gate, including people Shi Jiu knew. A few people, such as Dong Hu from Shuntian Escort Agency not far away, Liu Ruyi from Shuitian Pavilion, and other young people whose strength is not weaker than them.
There is no doubt that these people are the descendants of the powerful forces in Longnan County and its nearby counties, and represent the strongest group of today's young generation.
Apparently they all followed their elders to Tonglin City to participate in tomorrow's auction.
After being surprised, Shi Jiu felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, and this impulse gave Shi Jiu a hint of expectation in his eyes.
"I really want to fight with these people!" This thought came to Shi Jiu's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
As the Ax Gang and the others left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. Just as Shi Jiu was about to leave, he suddenly glanced out of the corner of his eye.
"That's the girl and the old man from before. They're also here to watch the fun." Shi Jiu thought in his mind.
The other two people also left quickly, and Shi Jiu also withdrew his gaze, and then walked towards Fengbaozhai.
