"Shopkeeper, I heard you have new tea here."
Shen Long walked over, knocked on the table, and said.
"Who is the senior?"
The old man in green robe asked politely.
"Fellow Taoist Xu introduced me here."
Shen Long said.
"It turns out you are a friend of Senior Xu, please come with me."
The old man in green robe said politely and walked towards the backyard. Shen Long quickly followed.
There is a simple blue wooden house in the backyard. There is a thin young man in green shirt guarding the door. Judging from his aura, he has a cultivation level in the middle stage of foundation building.
"This is a spirit-hiding mask. It can hide the breath and prevent the detection of spiritual consciousness. Fellow Taoists can avoid unnecessary trouble by wearing it to participate in the auction."
The young man in green shirt took out a mask with flashing green light and handed it to Shen Long.
Shen Long was not polite, took the mask, put it on his face, and strode in. He had participated in many underground auctions and was familiar with the process.
He pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a hole in the lower left corner, and a bluestone staircase running down. His consciousness was wide open, and after careful inspection, he found nothing unusual, and then he walked towards the bluestone staircase.
Not long after, he reached the end of the bluestone stairs and appeared in a bluestone passage. After walking more than a hundred steps, he appeared in a cave several acres in size. The stone walls were covered with mysterious runes. In the center of the cave was a A hundred-foot-large circular stone platform with a cyan wooden table placed on it.
Thousands of monks gathered in the cave. They all wore masks on their faces, and their true faces could not be seen.
Shen Long walked to a front position and waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and people walked in one after another.
After a cup of tea, a loud bell rang, and a pale golden light curtain appeared at the entrance, blocking the way out. A fat old man in green robes walked to the circular stone platform.
The old man in green robe had a fair face and his eyes were narrowed into a thin slit.
"Chen Qing, I'm in charge of hosting this auction. The one with the highest price will get it. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can use things as collateral. Let's start the auction now."
The old man in green robe gave a brief introduction, took out ten blue porcelain bottles, and said: "Ten foundation-building pills, auctioned separately, with a base price of 30,000 spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000."
"Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand to one!"
"Thirty-two thousand!"
······
Prices are rising steadily. This time in Xuanyang, many monks from cultivating immortal families came. Most of them were unable to refine the foundation-building pills and had to purchase them from outside.
When Shen Long was undercover in Zhao State, he got a Foundation Building Pill and kept it in his storage bag.
The ten foundation-building pills were all auctioned at high prices. Chen Qing took out five cyan porcelain bottles and said, "Five bottles of bone-forging pills, body-forging pills that can increase the strength of the physical body, are auctioned separately. The minimum price is three hundred spiritual stones. Each bottle The price increase shall not be less than fifty.”
"three hundred!"
"Three hundred and five!"
"Four hundred!"
·······
Chen Qing took out various resources for cultivating immortals, such as elixirs, talismans, formations, high-grade magic weapons, etc., and all of them were sold at a high price.
Shen Long took a bottle of Bone Forging Pill and two demon pills from the late second-level double-tailed scorpion. The iron-tailed scorpion took two demon pills, and it was not a problem to advance to the mid-level second level.
After taking away a set of high-grade magical artifacts, Chen Qing took out three blood-colored porcelain bottles and said: "Three bottles of blood essence from the mid-level second-order red fire dragon will be auctioned separately. The base price is one thousand spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than two hundred. "
The essence and blood of the second-level dragon is a great tonic. It can be used to make elixirs or cultivate spiritual beasts. Some second-level spiritual beasts with the blood of the dragon can swallow the essence and blood of the second-level dragon, which will help them advance.
"one thousand!"
"One thousand and two!"
"One thousand and four!"
······
The competition was fierce, and Shen Long also participated in the bidding.
After many biddings, Shen Long bought away two bottles of second-level dragon essence and blood at a high price of 10,000 spiritual stones, and exchanged them for the essence and blood of ordinary second-level spiritual beasts.
It is simply impossible to get such a high price.
The third bottle of dragon essence and blood was swatted away by a woman. Shen Long felt that the voice was very familiar, like the female cultivator from the witch clan.
Chen Qing took out a string of shimmering beads. There were five beads in different colors.
"A complete set of five spiritual beads for defensive magic weapons. Each one is a top-grade magic weapon with extremely strong defensive power. The base price is two thousand spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than five hundred."
Chen Qing said.
"two thousand!"
"Two thousand and five!"
"Three thousand!"
······
The competition was fierce. Shen Long spent 10,000 spiritual stones to acquire this complete set of magical tools.
He carries hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on his body, so naturally he won't keep all of them alive, and his own safety is still very important.
"Then it's time for the final auction items. The first final auction item is the spirit of the mid-level second-order red fire dragon. The base price is five thousand spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than one thousand."
Chen Qing's voice was not loud and spread throughout the auction venue.
Monster spirits can be refined into magic weapons and magic weapons. If the refining fails, the spirits will be scrapped. In addition, the spirit of monsters can also be refined into formations to transform into attacks.
Shen Long didn't have any use for the red fire dragon's soul, so he naturally didn't bid for it.
"Five thousand!"
"Six thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
······
The competition was fierce. After many biddings, this spirit was sold at a high price of fifteen thousand yuan. This price is enough to buy a top-quality magic weapon. However, if it is refined into a magic weapon, it can transform into an attack. .
Chen Qing flipped his right hand, a green light flashed, and a green flying boat flew out with amazing aura.
"The ultimate flying magic weapon! The base price is 20,000 spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 2,000."
Chen Qing said.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-two thousand!"
"Twenty-four thousand!".
After many biddings, it was sold at a high price of 42,000 yuan.
Chen Qing shook his sleeves, and dozens of silver formation flags flew out and landed in front of him.
"The second-level formation, the Thunder Control Formation, has extremely strong attack power. It can be placed in caves and family quarters. The base price is 30,000 spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 3,000."
As soon as Chen Qing finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid: "Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty-three thousand!"
"Thirty-six thousand!"
The price kept rising, but Shen Long didn't open his mouth to bid. He already had a set of small five-element formations. This set of thunder-controlling formations was suitable for those small clans who cultivated immortals, and could be used as a clan-protecting formation.
After many price increases, this thunder array was sold at a high price of 76,000 spiritual stones.
After patting away the thunder formation, Chen Qing took out a golden talisman seal and said: "The talisman Jinlang Dao is a brand new talisman that has not been used yet. The base price is 30,000 spiritual stones. Each increase must not be less than 3,000." .”
"talisman!"
The monks present were in an uproar, and their eyes became fiery.
Only by using the natal magic weapon can the Danjie monks refine the talisman. The talisman can have at most one-tenth of the power of the natal magic weapon. Every time a talisman is refined, part of the power of the natal magic weapon will be lost, and it will take many years to be re-tempered. Refining the lost power will benefit others and harm oneself, so there are very few alchemy monks refining talismans.
Monks below the level of Dan Jie cannot drive magic weapons, but there is no problem in using talismans. Some Dan Jie monks will refine talismans and leave them to their descendants before they die to improve their strength.
Because of these restrictions, talisman treasures are more precious.
With a talisman, a foundation-building monk can take advantage of it in a battle of spells.
"Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty-three thousand!"
"Thirty-six thousand!"
······
The competition for this talisman was fierce, and the price quickly rose to 70,000.
"Seventy-three thousand!"
Shen Long said.
"Seventy-six thousand!"
a loud man
The voice sounded.
Shen Long frowned and said, "Eighty thousand!"
"Eighty-three thousand!"
The man continued to shout the price.
"Eighty-six thousand!"
Shen Long continued to increase prices.
The man stopped raising the price, the price was too high.
Shen Long spent a huge sum of 86,000 yuan to take this brand-new talisman.
He paid off the spirit stones and got this talisman from Chen Qing.
In this auction, he spent more than 100,000 spiritual stones, which made him rich. In addition, he gave Qian Dafu 30,000 spiritual stones to buy goods. The spiritual stones in Shen Long's storage bag shrank greatly.
Returning to his original position, Shen Long felt keenly that many pairs of eyes were falling on him.
He didn't care, he was returning to Yuling Sect with the Danjie monk anyway.
After swatting the talisman away, Chen Qing took out a talisman with flashing green light. There was a wing pattern on the surface of the talisman.
"The talisman Green Wind Wings is a flying talisman. It has only been used once. If you have this treasure with you, you can use it to escape when you encounter strong enemies in the foundation building stage. The base price is 30,000 spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than five .”
Chen Qing said.
"Thirty thousand!"
"Thirty-five thousand!"
"forty thousand!"
······
Before long, the price exceeded 70,000 spiritual stones.
"Seventy-five thousand!"
A loud male voice sounded.
Shen Long recognized this voice. This person had just competed with him for the Golden Langdao Talisman.
"Eighty thousand!"
A female voice sounded.
"Ninety thousand!"
The man's voice was heavy.
The high price of 90,000 yuan discouraged other bidders, and no one spoke.
"Ninety thousand spiritual stones, is there a higher price? This is a flying talisman."
Chen Qing said.
No one spoke. Ninety thousand spiritual stones was not a small amount for a foundation-building monk.
A tall man in a golden shirt walked up to the circular stone platform, and Chen Qing's ears twitched.
"This fellow Taoist doesn't have enough spirit stones and plans to auction some things. We only provide the venue and are not responsible for the authenticity."
After Chen Qing said this, he stepped aside.
The man in the golden shirt took out dozens of materials, including elixirs, weapon refining materials, spirit wood, and monster materials.
Shen Long took a look and showed no interest.
The man in the golden shirt sold a lot of things to get enough spiritual stones.
"This auction ends here. We will prepare more and better products next time."
Chen Qing announced that the auction was over, and the monks left one after another.
Shen Long was walking on the street. He noticed someone following him, but he didn't care and returned directly to Yulingyuan.
Back at his residence, Shen Long took out the red crow cauldron and the second-level dragon essence and blood, preparing to refine the blood dragon pill.
After sitting quietly for a cup of tea, Shen Long began to refine the elixir.
Not long after, a faint herbal fragrance floated out from the cauldron.
Shen Long focused his attention on the Red Crow Cauldron.
······
Xuanyang Garden is a secluded small courtyard with green tiles.
A medium-sized man in a green shirt and a fat young man in a yellow shirt were sitting in a blue stone pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.
"It's a pity that the golden talisman sword was photographed away. If Senior Brother Liu had captured the golden sword, he would be stronger."
The young man in yellow shirt had a flattering look on his face.
"It's not bad to get a Talisman Blue Wind Wing. Thanks to you for dragging me to the underground auction this time, otherwise I would have missed out on the Talisman."
The man in green shirt said.
Liu Sheng, one of the foundation-building monks trained by the Xuanyang Sect, has a cultivation level in the late stage of foundation-building.
"This time Xuanyang ***, the top three should be Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Qian and Senior Sister Li."
The young man in yellow shirt boasted.
"It's not that easy,
This time Xuanyang *** has a lot of foundation-building monks coming, so do your best! "
Liu Sheng said modestly, full of confidence.
······
Half a month passed. Early that morning, tens of thousands of monks gathered in a vast bluestone square.
There are thirty bluestone arenas hundreds of feet in size in the Bluestone Square. Master Qianyang stood on a bluestone arena and began to preach.
The alchemy monk said that this is also one of the links of Xuanyang.
More than an hour later, Master Qianyang said: "Let's move on to the next stage. Those foundation-building monks who want to participate in the competition can sign up! The top ten will be awarded by drawing lots, and the first place will be rewarded with a golden elixir and jade liquid."
"Golden elixir and jade liquid!"
The eyes of the foundation-building monks present became fiery. This was the third-level elixir that assisted the foundation-building monks in reaching the elixir-formation stage, and it was worth a lot of money.
The Xuanyang Festival has been held many times, and the first place is basically a Xuanyang Sect disciple. Even if a non-Xuanyang Sect disciple wins the first place, it doesn't matter. Xuanyang Sect is very wealthy.
The foundation-building monks began to sign up, and more than a thousand foundation-building monks participated in the competition.
Shen Long drew the ninth lottery and walked to the ninth bluestone arena.
Not long after, a young woman in her early thirties in a white dress walked up. She was only in the early stages of foundation building. Judging from the patterns on her clothes, she came from a certain immortal cultivating family.
A light cyan light curtain emerged, covering the bluestone arena.
At the beginning of the competition, the young woman in the white dress patted the white jade pendant on her chest. The white jade pendant lit up with a dazzling white light, and a thick white light curtain emerged, covering the young woman in the white dress.
A giant fireball with a diameter of five feet flew over and hit the white light curtain.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and the rolling flames drowned the white light curtain. Through the white light curtain, the young woman in the white dress could still feel an astonishing high temperature.
Just as she was about to take action, a second giant fireball hit her. The fire increased greatly and the white light curtain dimmed.
At the same time, a cyan flying knife and a blue flying knife shot out, both of which were high-grade magic weapons.
There were two muffled sounds, the white light curtain shattered, and two flying knives stopped in front of the young woman in the white dress, only an inch away from her.
The young woman in the white dress broke into a cold sweat. If it were a life and death fight, she would already be dead.
"Fellow Taoist Taoism is profound, but I have lost."
The young woman in the white dress admits defeat, the difference in strength is too great.
Shen Long won easily, and the winner in other arenas has not yet been decided.
On the rostrum, eight alchemy monks including Master Qianyang, Master Jinxia, Master Bingcan, Master Jindao, and Master Ziyang sat on chairs, sipping tea and chatting.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, if you are idle, you are idle. Why don't we make a bet? Take something out as a bet."
A tall, thin old man in gold robe suggested.
The old man in gold robe has a square face, big eyes, and a fair complexion.
Master Qian was born in Zixiao Sect.
