Since the auction was still going on for a long time, Jiang You and the two chose to continue strolling on the street as if they had learned a lot.
She was also quickly attracted by a bunch of small light balls in transparent bottles. She couldn't help but wonder: "What is this?"
The stall owner couldn't help but give Jiang You a rolling look, as if he didn't want to explain. This made Jiang You even more strange. Could it be that this is a very common thing?
Seeing Jiang You being so confused, Yun Manluo said angrily: "Didn't you kill someone before? Why don't you even recognize this person?"
"What does this have to do with me killing people?" Jiang You asked confused.
"This is the monk's soul!" Yun Manluo reminded, "Generally, when a monk dies, his body also loses vitality, and then the soul leaves the body. If there is no medium to capture or preserve the body during this period, the soul will spontaneously escape. And this The famous stall owner obviously sealed the soul of the deceased. After all, some monks can expand their spiritual consciousness by devouring these souls. However, this carries the risk of memory disorder, and may even be taken away by the owner of the soul; in addition, There are also some meditators who can turn these souls into little ghosts to fight for themselves, and the effect is no worse than that of puppets."
"That's it." Jiang You nodded, and it seemed that this was mentioned in Yanlan's notes, and he also reminded her not to forget to destroy her soul when she silenced her, but he had never seen this kind of light group. , sometimes he also tried to check the sea of consciousness of the deceased, but all came up empty.
"But I really didn't see it when I was killing people." Jiang You said through his spiritual consciousness.
"Really?" Yun Manluo said with a doubtful expression, "Could it be related to that space?"
"I don't know." Jiang You shook his head again and said, "There are too many unknown things in this space. Only by constantly upgrading can we unlock more secrets."
She couldn't help but let out a long breath. Since the person she killed didn't have a soul, there would be no regrets after the soul collapsed, and it would be even less likely to turn into a ghost. This was not a problem for her. A good thing, after all, there will be no resentful ghosts asking for life.
So she didn't want to stay any longer. After all, these souls were dangerous things. What if a bottle suddenly broke and a soul took over her body? After all, I have watched too many horror movies, and I am more or less afraid of such things from the underworld.
Continuing to walk forward, Jiang You found nothing of interest anymore. After all, except for the evil nature, the types of things here are not comparable to those of Tianyin Pavilion. There are more evil ways here that are not tolerated by Dahua.
When I walked to the last stall, I was attracted by another sheepskin treasure map. Although it looked shabby with time, the blood-colored lines were still very clear. Unfortunately, it seemed to be only half of it, especially the key treasure location. Not on this half.
"What is this?" Jiang You asked the big man guarding the stall.
The big man replied, "I found this in the ruins of the Kingdom of Heavenly Demon when I was searching for treasures in the Western Regions. Judging from the layout of the mountains and rivers in this picture, it looks like half a curled-up insect. This is the same as the ancient altar for summoning demons recorded in ancient books. The location is very similar, so this may be a map of the ancient demon altar."
"Didn't the demon clan be destroyed by the Chinese Emperor?" Jiang You asked curiously.
"You are right." The big man nodded, "But it turns out that the altar that summoned the demons was buried deep under the mountain. It is said that there is a complete inheritance of the demons in it. The previously prosperous Demon Kingdom only inherited her skin. .”
"The Kingdom of Heavenly Demon?" Jiang You asked doubtfully.
Yun Manluo explained: "Before the Xirong Kingdom, the overlord of the Western Region was the Heavenly Demon Kingdom. However, most of the people in the Heavenly Demon Kingdom were demon cultivators. Their methods of cultivation were extremely cruel, which made the world angry and resentful. Therefore, King Zhongwu united with the Western Region countries to conquer them. To destroy it is also the first great contribution King Zhongwu has made for Dahua."
Jiang You nodded, and he continued to study the map, but due to the different perspective, he might not be able to recognize it even if he was here, unless there was a satellite map in this cultivation world as a reference.
Of course, even if there is no satellite map, it can be located if there are other larger water systems as reference. Unfortunately, this half of the map only has mountains and rivers. It is difficult to determine the general area on this map with this little information.
"Are you going to buy it?" the big man finally asked, "I'll sell you eighty spiritual stones."
"Don't buy it!" Jiang You hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't plan to practice magic."
"Then why are you wasting my time?" The big man said angrily, "Get out! Get out!"
"I bought the eighty spirit stones." Yun Manluo dropped the eighty spirit stones directly.
"What's wrong? Do you plan to cultivate demons? Besides, it's just an altar that has been buried. I don't know what's inside. Do you think there's a bronze ancient tree, a golden mask or something like that?"
"It's not expensive anyway." Yun Manluo said disapprovingly, "If we can find the other half, we can also print this half into countless copies and circulate them, and then the other half can be auctioned for a high price."
"Is there such an operation?" Jiang You said speechlessly.
Yun Manluo smiled slightly and just put the map away. Then she took Jiang You's hand and said coquettishly: "It's almost time. Let's go to the auction house."
The auction house is a two-story building, with the lobby on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. After all, there are many people on the first floor, so Yun Manluo has already booked a private room.
But after all, this is Xiaoyao Valley, which is not as exquisite as Tianyin Pavilion. The private rooms are just more spacious, and there are no restrictions on the partition wall in the middle. If you want to keep your auction items, you have to rely on your strength.
However, Jiang You is not too worried. Not to mention that his current strength is comparable to that of a foundation-building monk. What is more important is that he has a bodyguard with strength comparable to that of the late Golden Core. If someone wants to kill someone and seize the treasure, they may be killed. Cut a wave of leeks, so Jiang You was still afraid of not being watched.
As more and more people took their seats, the auction became more and more lively, and many malicious consciousnesses swept towards Jiang You and others. Fortunately, most of these consciousnesses were for foundation building. level, they still pose no threat to Jiang You and the others. But in order to avoid any trouble, Yun Manluo still released his spiritual consciousness at the peak of foundation building, which caused most people to immediately withdraw their spiritual consciousness.
But it has to be said that under the scanning of the spiritual consciousness at the peak of Foundation Establishment, Yun Manluo was unable to judge the specific cultivation levels of several people. He could only say that they were all above the Golden Core cultivation level.
But Yun Manluo is not worried. After all, she has made corresponding psychological preparations. If she feels scared when meeting several monks with golden elixir cultivation, then there is no need for her to come to this auction.
Soon a graceful woman appeared in the center of the hall. She walked up to the auction table and said, "Fellow Taoists, please wait. I have to say that there are many more people than usual today. I also know why you are here. So without further ado, the first item being auctioned today is "Five Elements Gathering Skills", a Xuanjie Five Elements Skills book. It can only be read by one person. If a second person wants to pry into the skills, they will self-destruct. .”
Jiang couldn't help but stand up. Unexpectedly, the first item turned out to be Wang Zha. This is a five-element all-attribute technique that can cultivate any attribute of spiritual power, especially for people with five-element spiritual roots and Hunyuan spiritual roots. It is said to be a complete treasure. Even if it is not the Five Elements Spiritual Root, it can still be practiced by others. For example, Lin Xu, Lin Yan, Lin Yan, Yue Lian and Tong Xi can practice together, learn from each other's strengths, complement each other's weaknesses, and confirm each other. In this way, the speed of cultivation can reach the level of the Mysterious Five Elements Spiritual Root. Root level.
However, this kind of group practice is also very difficult. It requires the five people who practice it to reach the state of unity of mind and spirit. However, this difficulty is not difficult in the spiritual space, because anyone's mind can be guided by Jiang You.
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones!"
"three hundred!"
"five hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
The price suddenly rose. Jiang You was about to bid but was stopped by Yun Manluo.
"This kind of technique is usually rubbing. They are likely to have a master copy. If I have the chance, I will buy it from them." Yun Manluo explained, "We still keep the spirit stones to buy the later things."
The skill was finally sold for eight hundred spirit stones. The auctioneer continued: "The second item will be auctioned below. The body of a female cultivator whose spiritual intelligence has been wiped out. The black earth spiritual root can be used to refine a clone. You can directly seize the body without any side effects. More importantly, the woman’s identity is innocent and can help you regain Dahua’s legal identity.”
Jiang You couldn't help but open his mouth. This Xiaoyao Valley actually sold people alive, and their intelligence had been wiped out. You must know that this is not easy.
Seeing Jiang You's expression, Yun Manluo explained: "This talented man is already used to it. After all, one more clone is equivalent to one more life, which is very popular in front of those dignitaries. How about it?" Do we buy it? After all, this unconscious body is much more obedient than those people."
"No." Jiang You gritted his teeth and said, "Compared to this, I prefer to steal it."
The second item was finally sold by a monk on the second floor for 1,500. The auctioneer continued: "The third item is a medium-grade spiritual weapon."
…
The next items seemed more serious, but they were not cheap. However, Jiang You didn't pay too much attention to them. After all, these items were not what Jiang You needed urgently.
"The ninth item, three second-level spirit-nourishing grass plants! The starting price is six hundred spirit stones."
Jiang Youye finally focused his attention. The thing he wanted to take finally arrived. He hoped that not too many people would compete with him.
Yun Manluo also introduced: "These three medicinal herbs must obtain nine hundred spirit stones before I can explain it to Tianyin Pavilion. But once it exceeds one thousand and five, it will be a loss, so you better make the decision yourself."
Jiang You nodded and shouted out nine hundred.
"One thousand and five!" an unknown male or female voice shouted from another direction.
Jiang You was completely stunned. This completely blocked his way. Could it be that today's visit was in vain?
"One thousand five hundred and one!" Jiang You then shouted.
"I'm sorry, each increase in price cannot be less than one hundred spirit stones." the auctioneer replied.
"As for that?" Jiang You couldn't help but secretly cursed, "Although this god-nourishing grass is precious, it is only a medicinal herb and not a pill. No one can say whether it will fail during the refining process and turn into a pot of waste soup. .”
