This seems to involve grudges in the foundation building stage. Most of the people participating in the auction are disciples in the Qi refining stage, so they are all unconcerned with the eyes and the nose, and the nose and the heart.
"This atmosphere is so scary. You said...hey, where are the people?" Guo Ying'er turned her head to complain to Zhao Ning, but she didn't want to turn her head. Zhao Ning, who was by her side just now, disappeared. A large black robe covered her head. Guo Ying'er searched on tiptoes for a long time, but couldn't find anyone. She mumbled a few times and went back to watch the fun.
The auctioneer shouted for the third time. The voice was very slow, with the meaning of deliberate waiting. You could even see his eyes looking at the foundation-building monk fiercely. The foundation-building monk had a confident expression on his face and was about to raise the question. Step up.
But I heard someone in the crowd say, "Three hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
Everyone was stunned. Who was it that was clearly going against Uncle Foundation Architect?
Everyone's eyes focused on him, but they saw nothing more than an ordinary mysterious man in black robes, and his voice sounded like a hoarse voice that was both male and female.
"Okay, okay! Three hundred low-grade spiritual stones!" The auctioneer immediately smiled and glanced at the Foundation Establishment disciple named Chai with a bad expression, "What, Senior Brother Chai continues to bid."
The disciple named Chai stared at the mysterious man in black robe, "Who are you? You are covered in black robe and you don't dare to show your face?!"
The hood was slightly raised, but even with this hood, the face was completely covered.
"You are joking. Isn't this black robe a rule of the secret auction? No one can bid with you anymore." After his words fell, the strong pressure rushed away, and everyone else standing around affected.
Someone trembled and shouted in surprise, "The foundation building is complete!"
The overwhelming chill made Chai Zhuji take half a step back. He mentally searched through the few people in the inner sect who had perfected the Foundation Establishment, but couldn't find anything that matched them.
Could it be a true disciple or an elder who just came out of seclusion? This thought shocked him, and his expression immediately changed. He burst into laughter, "Since it's an auction, bidding is fair. Haha, I'm just helping Junior Brother Mu bear the reserve price. Since Senior Brother has made the bid, if you all If you are curious, feel free to bid, please——"
The cold pressure left as quickly as it came. Chai Zhuji let out a breath without leaving a trace, lowered his eyes, wanted to glance at the man but did not dare to, and swallowed a sigh of relief in his heart.
With such an episode, no one dared to bid.
The auctioneer was in a much happier mood. Even if he didn't sell many spiritual stones, Chai Zhuji was devastated. He was happy and held the wooden box in both hands before handing it to the bidder. However, this senior brother with perfect foundation building was particularly cold and direct. He threw a storage bag to him and put away the wooden box with a wave of his sleeves without saying a word the whole time.
The auctioneer still wanted to find out the other party's identity, so he simply lifted his hood, revealing a clear face, "Chixiao Peak Mu Shuyi, I wonder which lineage my senior brother is from? This time my senior brother rescued the siege, my junior brother will come to thank you!"
But the other party was silent, and the auction on the stone platform didn't wait for anyone. A gray-robed disciple appeared on the stage without covering anything, and everyone was excited when he showed his face. Isn't this the one who sells the best spiritual talismans during the day? Disciple?
Mu Shu also heard the sound and turned to look at the stone platform. When he looked back, Senior Brother Zhuji Yuanman who was standing in front of him was nowhere to be seen.
Chapter 074
"Fifty spiritual stones!"
Mingluo excitedly shouted down two top-quality talismans.
Guo Yinger stopped waiting and grabbed two talismans, happily preparing to go back.
As soon as she turned around, she bumped into the person next to her. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with confusion and then said happily, "Zhao Ning, you are here. I couldn't find you just now, and I thought you were gone."
"Shall we go back now?" Zhao Ning did not answer her words, but changed the topic. Guo Ying'er nodded, "Yes, yes, hurry up. I got two more magic talismans. Look, they are snatching them so hard, but there is no one else." Come and grab it.”
"This is the Qingxiao Sect, not outside." Zhao Ning smiled, but did not stop her. She followed Guo Ying'er back to the Zizhu Forest. By the time they returned to the Zizhu Forest, it was almost late at night. The two of them went back to the bamboo house separately. Zhao Ning Wearing a cloak and walking very lightly, Yunsi Qianhuan's cloak hides her breath deeply, hiding in the bamboo forest and blending into the bamboo forest.
But just after walking halfway through the purple bamboo forest trail, Zhao Ning turned her head and glanced deep into the purple bamboo forest. The wind carried Yun Jinfan's subtle voice and reached Zhao Ning's ears.
"Who is Meiqiangpai? It's Yun Jinfan, the number one little fairy in the world of Kyushu! She's so cute, so pitiful, so pitiful, sooooooo...so poor that she can't even afford spiritual food!"
"Who dares to say that I'm not strong! I'm a genius picked from a million people!"
"Bah, don't listen, don't listen, you bastard chanting sutras."
"The Great Immortal, the greatest Immortal in the world and the invincible one in the universe, you brought me here. You must be responsible to me. You must stay awake tonight and come up with a good way to make money!"
"..."
Who has Yun Jinfan been talking to all this time?
This person seems to have been following her all the time. Who can hide without a trace under the nose of Qingxiao Sect? No, maybe he is not hiding. Many times, you can notice Yun Jinfan lowering his head and muttering to himself. , for a moment Zhao Ning thought of the remnant soul of Taike that broke into her sea of consciousness.
But Yun Jinfan obviously has a good relationship with the mysterious man, at least they coexist.
Zhao Ning tightened her cloak tightly. Yun Jinfan had an innocent personality and might be a friend worth making, but what about the mysterious man? A mysterious man peeping in the dark, a mysterious man entrusted by Yun Jinfan with full authority. Zhao Ning did not dare to use Yun Jinfan's character to bet on the danger posed by a profound and mysterious man who did not know the truth.
She covered her breath and left the purple bamboo forest quietly. She wanted to go to the library, which was the safest place she could think of for the time being.
Zhao Ning walked in a hurry, and there was an unknown chill in her heart, which made her subconsciously want to go back and confirm something, but she just wrapped her cloak tighter.
"Shen Zhaoning."
Suddenly, she heard a voice calling her from behind. It was Yun Jinfan's voice. Her voice froze for a moment, and the next moment she quickly moved forward against the wind, as if fleeing.
"Don't run, I have something to tell you."
The voice was originally Yun Jinfan's clear voice, but unknowingly it became thick and hoarse, becoming a man's voice.
But at this moment, Zhao Ning could no longer escape.
Her figure was held in place by an invisible force.
After a moment, Yun Jinfan's figure floated in front of her. Her posture was that of a man, and the aura around her became fierce and cold.
"You are not Yun Jinfan." Zhao Ning stared at her, trying to stay calm as much as possible.
"Yun Jinfan" smiled and raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of scrutiny, "This is the first time I have seen such a smart and smart girl. Jinfan just muttered a few words to himself and made you notice something unusual. What? I want to Escape, escape to where?”
"She" circled around Zhao Ning, "This small sect of Qingxiao Sect is pretty good. It's not easy to pick one from thousands of miles away. Why run away?"
Zhao Ning looked at "her". Of course, Zhao Ning had no intention of running away. She just wanted to stay away from such "Yun Jinfan".
"Or... do you want to report me to the Qingxiao Sect?" She crossed her arms and laughed twice, "I tell you, even if the old guy from the Qingxiao Sect comes out, he may not be able to kill me. "
Zhao Ning looked at "her" coldly, "Since senior is not afraid of anything, why do you want to stop me? You can just let me say whatever I want. No one can do anything to you anyway."
"Hahaha. Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!" "Yun Jinfan" stood in front of Zhao Ning, "I don't want to be exposed, and I don't bother to plan anything that will harm people and the sect. Jinfan is the girl I protect, and she has just started practicing cultivation. The world needs a sect to grow slowly, and I don’t want you to disturb my plan and interfere with this girl’s peaceful practice.”
"You're a smart little girl. I guess you don't need me to do anything more, you know how to do it!"
"Her" half-threat and warning words made Zhao Ning unable to resist. Zhao Ning felt so weak at this moment.
She swallowed her emotions and raised a smile that did not reach her eyes, "I will keep the secret for Miss Yun."
"Okay!" "Yun Jinfan" clapped his hands and praised. "She" walked past Zhao Ning and suddenly said, "Jinfan is asleep, and she won't know what happened tonight. If that Japanese respect The secret is exposed, little girl, and you will know how painful it is to die, hahaha!"
"She" laughed and walked away. A gust of wind blew behind Zhao Ning, which seemed to instantly relieve Zhao Ning's strange fixation. She did not look back. The hands hidden in the sleeves of her robe were tightly clenched. For a long time, the wind blew After dispelling the surging emotions, she closed her eyes and opened them again. It was normal. She even gave up going to the library and turned back to the Purple Bamboo Forest.
What else do you need to avoid? It is better to put the known dangers in front of you.
Zhao Ning opened all the restrictions in the bamboo house and sat on the couch in the main room. She stared at the closed door for a long time before closing her eyes and sinking into the House of Silent Spirits.
There was a yellow pear wooden box placed next to the high couch in the main hall of the House of Silent Spirits. The wooden box was opened and a strange ancient seed lay quietly inside. It was the ancient tea seed that almost caused disputes at the secret auction.
The Master of Foundation Establishment who suddenly appeared was Zhao Ning. Under Yunsi Qianhuan's cloak, her aura changed suddenly and she was forcibly raised to the peak of Foundation Establishment. However, this was just a paper tiger. Once someone lifted the cloak, Zhao Ning Instantly exposed.
Zhao Ning didn't know what kind of magical object this tea seed was, but Zhao Ning knew that it was not simple.
Judging from the performance of the foundation-building monk surnamed Chai, all his actions were intentional. He deliberately opened up the mystery of the ancient seeds and made some interested people give up on their own. He also provoked Mu Shu to be auctioned and suppressed it with his cultivation in the foundation-building period. If there are other people who want to bid, such ancient seeds will fall into his hands unconsciously.
The seeds were rolled in Zhao Ning's palm. In addition to the strong smell of rotten bark and paper, the light fragrance invigorated people.
The ancient seeds were planted in the garden, and a green bud came out tremblingly, but it grew extremely slowly. It was still a palm-sized seedling after several hours, but this seemed to indicate that the tea seeds were unusual.
Chapter 075
Autumn passes and winter comes, and a hundred days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Zhao Ning was exercising in the square of the Mission Hall as usual.
The sun climbed up to the treetops, and just after midnight, I saw a cloud boat flying from the horizon.
The Yunzhou is a large flying spiritual weapon. It was only after recruiting Ning into the sect that he learned that only the Foundation Architect Uncle was qualified to handle such a spiritual weapon, and unless it was important, there were only two Yunzhou in the entire Qingxiao Sect.
When the Yunzhou boat was about to pass over everyone's heads, the leading disciples in the preaching hall stopped and bowed respectfully to Yunzhou. This was a salute to the uncle who built the foundation on the boat, and all the disciples in the square also bowed.
But there were also curious disciples who looked up, and someone immediately called out the name of Uncle Zhou Shangji Architect.
"It's Uncle Ji Xiu!"
Ji Xiu? Zhao Ning looked up and saw Ji Xiu standing at the bow of the boat with great momentum, and there was another person standing beside him. Zhao Ning's expression was slightly condensed.
"Who is that disciple next to me? How can he be on par with Master Uncle?" someone from the disciples in the square asked.
Someone immediately replied with envy, "Jia Rui, don't you know Senior Brother Jia? He has a single fire spiritual root and is a natural spiritual body. Last year, he made an exception and was admitted directly to the inner sect."
Jia Rui came out of the new secret realm. Zhao Ning was not surprised by this. What was surprising was that Jia Rui's cultivation was something she could no longer see clearly, and even felt faintly coerced.
"Seventh level of Qi training!" Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Ning. Other disciples exclaimed about his cultivation level, "This... Jia Rui has only been practicing for more than a year, how can he reach the seventh level of Qi training?!"
The speaker was a middle-aged disciple who was at an advanced level in qi training. He looked in disbelief. He thought that it took him thirty years to reach an advanced level in qi training. This speed was already above average. Who knew he could still meet him? Such a cultivating genius?
When we met in the small underground secret realm, Jia Rui was still at the third level of Qi training. Now, in just ten months, his cultivation level has directly increased to the seventh level of Qi training. He must have got a great opportunity in the new secret realm. Such speed of cultivation and luck It made Zhao Ning's back feel cold.
Zhao Ning did not hide himself. Even if his cultivation base, Jia Rui, advanced by leaps and bounds and was no longer comparable to his own, under the rules of Qingxiao Sect, he could not do anything to him.
But Jia Rui seemed extremely proud at the moment, with his chin held high and his eyes not sweeping across the square at all.
Yun Zhou came in a hurry and left in a hurry, heading straight for the inner gate area.
After hearing Jia Rui's episode, everyone in the square felt a little emotional, talking in small groups.
The leading disciple raised his brows, "Senior brother from the inner sect, is this something you can discuss behind your back? If you don't exercise regularly, let alone the seventh level of Qi training, you won't even be able to get past the small bottleneck!"
The disciples had to be guided and taught a lesson. The voices in the square were suppressed. However, cultivators could not obey so easily. Many disciples still spoke while exercising.
"Senior Brother Jia, with such rapid cultivation, there will definitely be a real person who will take him as a true disciple when he comes back this time!"
"I remember that when Senior Brother Jia broke into the inner sect, there was a real person who wanted to accept him as a disciple, but it seemed that he was stopped by the first senior uncle?"
"That's what happened. I heard that the First Senior Uncle thought that Senior Brother Jia was impatient and weak-minded and needed to temper himself a little before he could consider becoming a true successor. It seems that this incident caused Senior Brother Jia to criticize the First Senior Uncle. "
"..."
Zhao Ning remembered that when Jia Rui was testing his fate as an immortal, he asked Senior Qin to check his future apprenticeship. Could it be that because of this, he felt that Senior Qin deliberately blocked his apprenticeship?
Half an hour later, after the morning class, Zhao Ning went to Yunxia Peak alone, but she saw a silver light streaking in the direction of the inner gate. It was originally going to the direction of Shuwu Peak, but she didn't want to stop midway and landed directly in front of Zhao Ning. .
Zhao Ning walked slowly. As soon as he came down from the square, the people around him had almost dispersed. When he saw the person coming, he was slightly stunned and bowed respectfully with a smile.
"Uncle Ji, long time no see."
The person coming was none other than Ji Xiu.
