After returning to Fengbaozhai, Shi Jiu stayed in the small courtyard and read Chang Lin's experience.
Although he had roughly finished reading the main book yesterday, from now on he planned to read it in detail to figure out and gain insights.
There is still a difference between the first step of formation and cultivation, and it requires great understanding and practical operation. Shi Jiu feels that his self-understanding is not bad, but he lacks practical training. Unfortunately, it requires a lot of materials and financial resources, which Shi Jiu's current savings cannot satisfy, so his current plan is to thoroughly read this book first and digest it by himself. and absorption, and then conduct on-the-spot deployment and research when we have certain strength and financial resources in the future.
Half an hour later, Shi Jiu closed Chang Lin's notes, closed his eyes, and kept simulating and demonstrating the formation of the formation in his mind.
After another half an hour, Shi Jiu opened his eyes, "Well, this double yin gathering array is really powerful. No wonder Hong Changlin admired it so much when he was young. He can actually use the yin power of the stars and the yin of the moon to gather around him. The Ming Yuan is really powerful for people to use! It's a pity that there are no materials to experiment with. "
Shi Jiu tilted his head helplessly.
This is also the biggest difficulty for many people who want to study formations. Unlike cultivators, as long as they have the skills, they can basically practice them slowly. They do not need external materials. However, formations are different. That is necessary, otherwise how can we form a formation?
"Let's wait until we have the opportunity to experiment in the future." Shi Jiu made up his mind, then took back Chang Lin's experience, and then began to practice other techniques.
On the morning of the third day, Shi Jiu walked out of Fengbaozhai again and came to the street.
This time, he went out through a small door at the back of Fengbaozhai. If he walked out of the door, he would definitely attract attention. Although there was a mask covering his true appearance, he still didn't want to attract attention.
Sure enough, Shi Jiu deliberately passed by the gate of Fengbaozhai. At this time, many people from various factions gathered in front of the gate of Fengbaozhai. Everyone's faces were full of excitement and excitement, and they were talking to each other. The discussion is all about this auction.
Shi Jiu lowered his head and passed by without stopping. He quickly left the area of Fengbaozhai and came to a restaurant. He chose a seat by the window and sat down. Then he ordered the waiter to serve some side dishes.
At this time, the restaurant was full of people, and most of them were members of the sect, and everyone looked excited.
Not long after, the waiter brought the dishes and wine. Shi Jiu poured himself a glass and drank slowly.
"Tonight is the auction. I heard that Miss Yan'er is hosting it. I really want to go in and have a look. She must be even more beautiful, right?" A man at the next table said with a look of obsession.
"Look at your squinting look, how can you covet Miss Yan'er? But I heard that Miss Yan'er is more charming than before. Is there any special treasure in Lanhai County next door that can make women more beautiful? "The man beside him said, while a doubt arose in his heart.
"Nonsense! Miss Yan'er is naturally beautiful. She grows more and more beautiful even without using treasures. With Fengbaozhai's strength, what kind of treasures can't be obtained? Do we need to go all the way to the next county?" someone said dissatisfied.
"What this dear friend said is true. Miss Yan'er's beauty is innate and does not require the help of external objects at all. The reason why she went to Lanhai County is because Fengbaozhai opened a new store there and she needs to create a scene." Another one person explained.
"Oh, that's it. Ever since Miss Yan'er left Tonglin City, I cried several times, and now I'm finally looking forward to her coming back." The obsessed man said happily.
"Okay, you licking dog, stop being disgusting here. Who among us doesn't admire Miss Yan'er? But you have to be self-aware."
"Let's not talk about it for now. Do you know what happened outside the South City Gate yesterday afternoon?" one person said, with an excited expression on his face.
"Of course, how can you not know about such a big thing, but everyone in Tonglin City probably knows about it." Someone replied.
"Well, we both went to show up, but the result was dissatisfying. The Ghost Fire Sect was too arrogant, and robbing them in front of them simply undermined the sect's style." At this time, a person next to the obsessed man was a little resentful.
"It's not only you who are dissatisfied, but we Longnan County people are also dissatisfied. After all, the Ax Gang is also our gang in Longnan County. Although the Ghost Fire Sect is powerful, after all, it is from another county. When it comes to our territory, it is not honest. It is unbearable to stand alone and act arrogantly, which is unbearable!"
"Please keep your voice down. If anyone hears it, we will be in trouble. I heard that the people of the Ghost Fire Sect must retaliate and should not offend anyone." Someone advised.
"This brother is right, the Ghost Fire Sect cannot be offended. You must know that their strength is on par with the five major forces in Longnan County. I even heard that the Ghost Fire Sect has good relations with Jianxiao Pavilion in Longnan County, so that is We can't afford to offend. I didn't see the Ax Gang retreating in anger yesterday, so we don't dare to cause trouble to the Ghost Fire Sect." Someone else said.
"Yes, we small sects can only watch from a distance!"
"Stop talking about these depressing words, let's talk about tonight's auction. This will be the grandest one in history." The infatuated man said excitedly.
"Of course. Not to mention other things, how many people did the last treasure in this auction attract? And now, all the big forces coming to Tonglin City are almost all coming for it. When the time comes, It must be a battle between dragons and tigers!”
"Yeah, just thinking about that scene makes people excited!" someone said excitedly.
"How many people are gathered in front of the gate of Fengbaozhai now. The people on the inside and outside are all here for the auction. Even in the restaurant where we are, who is not talking about the auction?"
"You're right, but the biggest regret is that we can only talk in this restaurant, but we can't go inside to watch." After saying that, the four people at the table all turned away.
"Okay, although we can't get in, it would be good if we could find out what's going on inside."
"I just don't know who will end up with the last treasure?"
"Haha, haven't you heard yet? There are five copies of this final treasure, and five families will eventually get it. This is why so many forces will participate in tonight's bidding. It can be said that all the big forces have it. You can get the ultimate treasure if you have the chance."
"So that's it. What exactly is that treasure? Why does it attract so many powerful forces?" someone asked.
"I don't know exactly what it is. Only the big forces know about it, but I heard that the treasure is of great use to the strong men at the peak of the soul realm. It can increase their probability of surviving the catastrophe and entering the soul realm where everyone faces outwards. "
"What? Can it help people increase their chances of surviving the catastrophe? No wonder those big shots want to participate in this auction. Indeed, no one can resist the temptation of that treasure."
"Yes, that is the Soul Realm. The goal of all us cultivators has not appeared in Longnan County for many years."
"It hasn't been seen for many years, but I heard that there are soul-level experts in the five sects who are setting an ambush, but they seem to have serious health problems and won't show up at all on weekdays."
"Really? But no matter what, after this auction, there will definitely be new soul-level powerhouses, and there will definitely be more than one... It makes me excited to think about it. Finally, we will be able to meet them in the near future. A living soul-realm person!" One person said excitedly.
"I hope there will be strong men from our Longnan County here."
"Well, let's continue drinking."
…
Shi Jiu listened to the discussions at the next table while eating.
Now the entire Tonglin City is in this inexplicable excitement, and even ordinary people feel a different atmosphere.
At this moment, Shi Jiu was thinking about what kind of scene would happen after the auction ended? Naturally, those sect forces that have successfully auctioned the treasures are all ecstatic, but what will those forces that have not bid for the treasures do? It will definitely be a big war, even one in which many people will die.
There is no way, the temptation of the essence of Lingshu is too great, and few people with the realm of soul cultivation can resist. Shi Jiu could imagine the scenes of ambushes and robberies, with blood staining the fields, and how many people would die in those cruel robberies. You must know that the night before arriving in Tonglin City, they experienced a brutal ambush. Even if not many people died in the end, it was based on the fact that there was no Lingshu Essence in the convoy. If there really was one in the convoy at that time, Then the ending would be different.
After drinking, Shi Jiu left the restaurant and continued to wander around Tonglin City. It was still early and the auction would not be held until evening. Shi Jiu had time to wander around the city.
Tonglin City is indeed prosperous, even more prosperous than Tianyou City and Lanming City. There are various restaurants and shops everywhere. Shi Jiu even saw a man riding on the third-level underworld beast Shadow Leopard, surrounded by a group of people. A large group of people defended him, and he knew without guessing that he must be the son of a certain big family or force.
Afterwards, Shi Jiu walked into a book store, found a few books and started reading.
Finally, Shi Jiu bought a map, which was about Yongyan Mansion. Tianyou County, Lanhai County, and Longnan County were all under the jurisdiction of Yongyan Mansion, which was useful to him.
After walking out of the bookstore, Shi Jiu continued to walk forward.
Not long after, Shi Jiu walked into a shop selling elixirs and hell cores. This is a time-honored store, and its storefront and reputation are much better than the one of yesterday.
As soon as Shi Jiu entered the store, the service maid on the side came up and asked, "Master, what do you need to buy? We have a full range of products in the store."
"I want to see the fourth-level Hades Core. Are there any here?" Shi Jiu said casually.
"Yes, it's on the second floor. Master, please come with me." The maid came and led Shi Jiu to the second floor.
Just as Shi Jiu went up to the second floor, a group of women came towards him. The leader had a beautiful face, but had a cold look as he hurried downstairs.
Shi Jiu was a little surprised to meet an acquaintance, but he didn't show it.
"Liu Ruyi, what is she here for? To buy Hades Cores?"
The woman who just came downstairs was the descendant of Shuitian Pavilion who had a relationship with Shi Jiu. Although he had seen her yesterday, Shi Jiu was still surprised to see her again.
"What did that woman come to buy just now?" Shi Jiu asked casually.
"The lady just wanted to buy a level 5 water attribute nether core, but unfortunately there is no stock in the store." The maid replied.
"Oh, that's right. By the way, do you have a thunder-attributed Nether Core here? I want to buy one." Shi Jiu said.
"Thunder attribute? That's a rare item. We don't have it in the store for the time being. If you really want it, you can reserve it."
"How long will it take to wait? I will only stay in Tonglin City for three days."
"I'm sorry, sir, that kind of rare thing will take at least a month, and it may not be available yet."
"That's it, forget it." Shi Jiu said with a hint of regret, and then left here.
