"These two are distinguished guests of my Ice Castle."
"I will be responsible for hosting the auction later and entertaining them flawlessly. Liangyue, please help me entertain them. By the way, tell them about the main treasures that the Snow Lotus Palace will auction this time."
"Don't wait any longer!"
Shi Boying said lightly, his tone was not as enthusiastic as when he faced Luo Chen before.
With such a difference, it can be seen that the status of this foundation-building female cultivator named "Liang Yue" is not very high in her heart.
Faced with this differential treatment, Qiu Liangyue didn't take it seriously, as if it was natural.
She looked at Luo Chen and Wang Yuan and stretched out her hand as an invitation.
"Two fellow Taoists, please come this way!"
Luo Chen and Wang Yuan looked at each other and followed behind quietly.
…
Snow Lotus Palace is very big, but compared to Binglan Palace, it is several times smaller.
The three of them naturally communicated while walking on the way to the auction hall.
"I don't know how to call these two Taoist friends?"
"I, Luo Chen."
"Wang Yuan."
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Luo and Fellow Daoist Wang! The little girl Qiu Liangyue is a disciple of Ice Castle and currently serves as a deacon in Xuelianfang."
Qiu Liangyue introduced herself.
Then, she took out a thin list and prepared to introduce the resources that would appear in the auction to the two of them.
However, as soon as she opened the list, she raised her head in confusion.
"Wang Yuan?"
"Well, do you have any advice from fellow Taoist Qiu?" Wang Yuan asked calmly.
Qiu Liangyue frowned, feeling as if she had heard this name somewhere.
She thought for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Dahefang? Are you from Dahefang?"
Wang Yuan did not hide anything and nodded immediately.
Luo Chen, who was on the side, noticed that Wang Yuanda seemed to be talking about something, and quickly took over the words.
"We did come from Dahefang a few years ago. Speaking of which, we can be regarded as neighbors of Daoyou Qiu."
Xuelianfang is just upstream of Dahefang, very close to it.
For example, the Nangong family that Luo Chen was familiar with moved here from Xuelianfang.
With the origin of "neighbors", the atmosphere between the three of them has become warmer.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land!
Qiu Liangyue smiled and said, "I think Wang Daoyou's name is very familiar, and sure enough. There was a person in Dahefang who was known as the most powerful person in the Qi Refining Period, also named Wang Yuan. I did remember it correctly."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Taoist friend, as a casual cultivator, actually built the foundation."
Wang Yuan glanced at Luo Chen and remained silent.
Luo Chen cheered up, "Isn't this the case with Fellow Taoist Qiu? I remember that Fairy Liangyue was the most famous female casual cultivator in several cities."
"Now, not only has the foundation been built, but we have also become a member of the Ice Castle. It is truly admirable!"
Speaking of the achievements so far, Qiu Liangyue is quite proud of herself.
However, Luo Chen's realm in the middle stage of foundation building was there, and it was impossible for her to reach it.
After a few words of modesty, he couldn't help but express emotion.
"Building the foundation is really very difficult for casual cultivators like us."
The three of them walked and talked.
Luo Chen felt sad: "What fellow Taoist said is true."
Qiu Liangyue smoothed her hanging hair and sighed: "In order to build the foundation, I traveled here and there. I visited almost all the nearby towns and participated in numerous auctions, big and small, but I struggled to find a single stone. The Foundation Establishment Pill cannot be used.”
"Especially your Dahefang, with its ulterior motives, it is even more dangerous than Liuguangfang, which is said to be full of calamities."
Luo Chen laughed, "After all, it is close to the Million Mountains and deals with monsters all day long. The people there are a bit barbaric."
Probably after the foundation was built, no one boasted about the scenery and complained about the suffering.
Qiu Liangyue was very chatty at the moment.
"Back then I purchased some resources on the black market."
"Before I could get far, I was robbed on the spot by a barbaric robber cultivator, causing me to blow up the precious blood talisman I finally managed to capture."
Hearing this, Luo Chen's mouth twitched.
He casually echoed: "This is really unethical."
Wang Yuan, who had always been expressionless, now looked a little stiff.
Qiu Liangyue looked at Luo Chen, she had already remembered who he was.
Today, the most popular foundation-building cultivator in Tianlan Immortal City!
Fire Spirit Lord——Luo Chen!
The opponent's name is as loud as thunder!
She said sincerely: "I believe that those calamity cultivators are only a minority among the tens of thousands of casual cultivators in Dahefang. If Lord Huo Ling had been here at the time, with your chivalrous heart, you would definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
Wang Yuan turned his face sideways in time and looked at the shadow reflected on the wall made of ice.
The bald head is shiny and the teeth are clenched!
Luo Chen showed a "heartbroken" look and said emphatically: "I was busy practicing at the time and didn't know much about these things."
"As you said, if I were here, I would severely punish those arrogant thieves and let them know that Dahefang is not a lawless place!"
Click!
There was a sound of cracking bones.
Qiu Liangyue glanced at Wang Yuan strangely.
Wang Yuan forced out a forced smile and said, "It's okay to move your hands and feet."
Qiu Liangyue nodded.
Then he continued:
"But it just goes along with the saying that misfortune depends on blessing!"
"After I finally got rid of that barbaric tribulation cultivator, I was chased by the other tribulation cultivators in Dahefang. I panicked and hid in a nearby mountain in a panic."
"I accidentally broke into the cave where an ice castle foundation was built!"
"Not only that, but by chance, I got a Foundation Establishment Pill from its storage bag."
"Later, after successfully building the foundation, I was extremely lucky to join the Ice Castle with the help of that senior's token."
Qiu Liangyue was filled with emotion, as if all the hardships had come to an end.
"Now, I am finally not alone."
Luo Chen held his hand in time and said, "That's really gratifying!"
Qiu Liangyue smiled freely, "I can't say whether I'm happy or congratulatory, but if I meet the arrogant Jiexiu cultivator who pushed me into a desperate situation again, I would like to say thank you to him."
"Fellow Daoist is so righteous and so open-minded!" Luo Chen gave a thumbs up.
"It's a different matter. The purpose of thanking you is to build a foundation. But after thanking you, you must kill him casually, otherwise your thoughts will not be clear."
Qiu Liangyue said casually.
In his tone, there was still a hint of the habit he had when he first started practicing as a casual cultivator.
Happy grudge!
Luo Chen glanced at Wang Yuan and coughed twice.
The topic was immediately changed.
"Since fellow Taoists have traveled thousands of miles to come to Tianlan, they must have passed by Dahefang on the way! I wonder, what is the situation in Dahefang now?"
Mention the current Dahefang.
Qiu Liangyue's expression became serious.
"That's not a good place!"
"Can you tell me a little more about it?"
"You can do anything!"
…
The auction hall of Snow Lotus Palace is in the shape of a fan.
There are no VIP boxes, so everything is kept simple.
After all, Snow Lotus Palace mainly sells various specialties from Ice Castle and does not usually host auctions.
Only occasionally, when precious resources accumulate too much, will an auction be used to dispose of a batch of items at a high price.
In terms of quantity, not much.
Luo Chen and Wang Yuan were arranged by Qiu Liangyue in the back row with the best view.
Sitting here, you can overlook the whole place.
At the same time, there is no problem in the monk auction that the distance is too far and the host cannot notice it.
After sitting down.
Luo Chen first watched Qiu Liangyue's back leave with Wang Yuan in tacit understanding, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he disappeared.
He casually cast a sound-proofing technique to cover the two of them.
"You're not wearing any clothes, are you?"
"I put on a disguise, there's no way I could have betrayed you!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Wang Yuan, couldn't help but laughed.
"Barbarian Jiexiu?"
Wang Yuan looked at him speechlessly, "Chivalrous?"
"Hahaha……"
As early as the first time Qiu Liangyue appeared, Luo Chen and Wang Yuan recognized each other's origins.
It was the unlucky female cultivator who happened to get into the trap when Luo Chen set up a trap against the Fu family in Dahefang.
At that time, Luo Chen released a blood charm forged by Wang Yuan through the Zhenlong black market, which was photographed by him.
Later, Wang Yuan was asked to rob the woman and force her to explode the blood talisman.
In this way, an unfounded crime was laid on the Fu family.
Luo Chen is the mastermind behind the scenes and has never been shown before, but he is certainly not a chivalrous person.
Wang Yuan is naturally the Barbarian Tribulation Cultivator mentioned by Fairy Liangyue.
"It's fate."
After laughing, Luo Chen gradually calmed down.
Today's Dahefang, in Qiu Liangyue's words, is already a ghost that covers thousands of miles!
The ghost king Pang Renxiong escaped from the trap.
The thousands of casual cultivators who died in the inner city were all enslaved and controlled by him.
The scope of ghosts spread directly from the inner city, covering a thousand miles in radius.
Places such as Xiaohuan Mountain and Xieyue Valley were also deeply involved.
Not only that, some monsters that broke into it were also devoured and transformed by the Ghost King.
Now, in that huge ghost jungle, in addition to one ghost king, there are dozens of powerful ghost generals!
Moreover, the scope of ghosts and ghosts has a faint tendency to expand.
There was a golden elixir master in the ice castle who once went inside to investigate.
But he almost died at the hands of the ghost king Pang Renxiong.
Now, it has become a forbidden land!
Loose cultivators are not allowed to enter, and sect foundation builders dare not approach easily.
Bingbao didn't want to deal with this mess, so after investigating, he let him go.
Anyway, the ghosts continue to spread, and they also spread towards the downstream, so they pose little threat to Xuelianfang.
When passing by, it's best to take a detour.
After Wang Yuan knew the current situation of Dahefang, he couldn't help but feel very happy.
"Fortunately, we listened to your words and insisted on leaving Dahefang, otherwise we would be one of those thousands of evil ghosts now."
Luo Chen sighed softly, "I don't know when the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect will send people to deal with the ghosts. Dahefang is really a good place. If we can occupy it, it will be enough to become a land of dragon prosperity."
As a large-scale city facing the millions of mountains in the Eastern Wasteland.
The geographical conditions of Dahefang are really superior.
The amount of resources that can be collected every year is even greater.
This can be seen from the fact that the six major Yuanying sects all had to travel far away to arrange their residences there.
Limited to his original realm, Luo Chen didn't have much access to higher-level resources.
But even among low-level resources, there are many good things.
For example, the eight-hundred-year root of heaven and earth is an elixir that can be directly used to build the foundation.
There is also the six-leaf Emperor Lotus collected by Mi Shuhua in his early years. It is a top-notch resource that can increase the life span of any monk by a decade regardless of realm!
These good things cannot be collected from a "commercial center" like Tianlan Fairy City.
Wang Yuan said casually: "If we really recover, I'm afraid it won't be our turn to profit. Besides, is Luo Tianhui doing well now?"
Luo Chen was stunned for a moment, then smiled casually.
"Indeed, I am too greedy."
Putting this topic aside, Luo Chen took out a bamboo slip that Qiu Liangyue gave him before he left.
It records most of the resources that will appear in this auction.
For the first time, his attention fell on the names of the five second-level monsters!
If you want to make a profit, you don't necessarily have to own a large market like Dahefang.
As long as we have enough talents, we can naturally create more benefits.
And Luo Chen has the means to "create talents" himself.
Looking at those names, Luo Chen murmured in his heart.
"We have harvested so many resources, but they cannot be fully digested in a short period of time. After all, we still lack enough talents who can stand alone."
"It's also time for Luo Tianhui to recruit a few more foundation-building cultivators."
"If it had been anyone else, there might not have been anything that could have been done about it."
"But I have a unique advantage!"
"Emperor's liquid..."
