Seeing this, Lu Xiu continued: "What we want is different. I, Zhibei, and Daoyou Zhao are all here for the energy of the earth. When the energy of the earth comes out, we can only rely on our own abilities." .
"As for Fellow Daoist Dong and Fellow Daoist Lu, I have dealt with you two once. I know that you came to the Dark River in search of an elixir called Linglin Stalagmite, is that correct?"
"Exactly," Lu Xiaoran responded softly, looking with sadness in his eyes, "The children in my family are still waiting for this thing to save their lives. It's a pity that I didn't find this kind of elixir last time. If I can be lucky enough to find one or two this time, , I and my husband are willing to buy it from my Taoist friends at a high price, and I hope that these Taoist friends can help me."
When monks form a team to hunt for treasures, if the harvest is not agreed upon in advance, it must be determined according to their respective contributions. Dong Qingshan and Lu Xiaoran are inferior to Zhao Chun and others in cultivation. They are both in the late stage of Fenxuan, and they believe that their contributions in Anhenei must not be as good as others. Only then did the three of them come up with the idea of exchanging money for the Linlin Stalagmite.
"It doesn't matter," Lu Xiu said cheerfully, "Zhibei and I just want to compete for the energy of the earth's veins, and the Linlin Stalagmite can be sold to both of us."
Zhao Chun also nodded and agreed that if he really encountered Linglin stalagmites, he could sell them all to Dong and Lu.
This medicine is recorded in Boyenlou's "Encyclopedia of Spiritual Medicines in the World". It treats the congenital blockage of meridians and fine orifices in children under ten years old. Children with this disease, even if they do not enter spiritual practice, will eventually become He died because of weak Qi and weak body. His parents would take care of him, and he might live to be twenty years old, but no matter how long he died, it was no wonder that Dong and Lu were so anxious.
After this agreement, everyone made an appointment to gather here on the 22nd and go to the Yaojin Building to participate in the auction meeting. Now they dispersed and prepared themselves.
After another three or two days passed, the store owner sent someone to tell Zhao Shun that the 22nd day had arrived. She closed the door and went downstairs, where she happened to meet Lu Xiu and others. After the five people gathered together, she went out to the Golden Tower in the center of the city. OK.
It is self-evident how useful the five major families in Yingluo City regard this underground river.
When Zhao Chun came here for the first time, he saw layers of splendid pavilions with carved railings and jade, just like an ordinary royal palace. Even the waiters and maids who greeted him were dressed in noble clothes, wearing jingle bells all over their bodies, and they kept making noises as they walked.
Gradually, I heard the sound of the jade man, and a beautiful woman came forward. Seeing that Zhao Chun and others were all Fenxuan monks, and they were either in the late stage or in the Great Perfection realm, and their strength was quite extraordinary, so she welcomed them with a smile. In the Yaojin Tower, he said again: "I would also like to invite a few Fenxuan monks to sit in the elegant room."
The interior of the Yaojin Building is extremely open. It is shaped like an enclosed house, with crowds coming from all directions toward the center. It faces the golden jade platform in the center across a circular lotus pond. There are many seats inside, separated by screens. Zhao Xun and others It was not too early to arrive, and there were already many monks sitting at the table, talking quietly to each other.
The elegant room where the beautiful woman wanted to lead her should be the quieter seat upstairs. Moreover, Zhao Chun also discovered that most of the people in the seats below were people who were building the foundation and condensing the essence. There was no trace of the Fenxuan monks. This meant that the Yaojin Tower had its own arrangements for the monks with higher realms.
Everyone followed her upstairs and sat down in an elegant room filled with the faint fragrance of orchids. Since there were outsiders here, it would be inconvenient to talk. Lu Xiu then called the beautiful woman to leave, and everyone felt relieved.
"Although today's grand meeting is mainly for the two hundred places to enter the underground river, the five major families will still throw out a lot of other treasures. If you need it, you can also bid." Lu Xiu is already familiar with this. , introducing it to everyone like a host.
Zhao Chun nodded secretly, thinking that there were so many foundation-building and Yuan-condensing monks downstairs here. He would not want to enter the dark river area to win the treasure with the Fenxuan monks. He came here for the auction. The rest of the treasures at the meeting.
"Fellow Daoist Lu," Dong Qingshan said with a stunned look on his face, "if there happens to be a Linlin stalagmite auction at the meeting, I'm afraid the two of us will have to spend all our money to buy it, and it will be even more difficult to get the quota for the underground river..." The cultivators who have accumulated a fortune are not as good as the disciples of the sect, not to mention that the two of them have children who are still in bed, and they also need precious elixirs to survive. As a result, he is even more strapped for money. He currently has a spiritual jade in his pocket, but he can just buy two places in the underground river. If he wants to buy other treasures, he will not be able to enter the underground river.
Lu Xiu also understood the difficulties of the two of them, and looked at each other with his junior brother Lin Zhibei. He didn't mind the matter in his heart. However, there was Zhao Chun among the five of them, so he couldn't ignore what she thought, so he asked: "What if Only the three of me can enter, is it possible for Fellow Daoist Zhao to accept it?"
Zhao Xun smiled slightly, she naturally didn't mind at all. To be honest, if Lu Xiu was the only one to guide the way this time, she could also get back the energy of the earth veins. It was not a matter of consideration for Dong and Lu to go together. Inside, he responded: "I think it's okay even if I'm poor."
Hearing this, Dong Qingshan and Lu Xiaoran burst into tears of gratitude, but it was difficult to express them in words, so they smiled and said a few words of thanks.
It was almost dusk when she arrived, and after sitting in the private room for half an hour, the night fell in all directions. Looking up from the center of the Golden Tower, there was a bright moon hanging high, and the sky was filled with stars, and the clear light was falling. Entering the golden jade table, the lotus pond is filled with sparkling waves, and the pure white petals add to the ethereal temperament. It is an unexpected scene that is appreciated by both refined and popular people.
Everyone in the seat suddenly saw the candlelight flickering, and the light suddenly spread out in the huge golden tower. A woman in brocade clothes and a skirt came gracefully and slowly landed on the golden jade platform. They saw her figure appear, and the monks became excited. It also means that the triennial Yingluo City Gold Building Auction has really begun!
The woman in brocade robes and skirts first announced her family name. She turned out to be a Ning Yuan monk from the Zhou family among the five major families, named Yihan. She has always been the one to introduce treasures to many monks at the Yaojinlou auction. According to Lu Xiu, when she first came here nine years ago, Zhou Yihan had already appeared in Taichung.
Indeed, he was experienced and eloquent. A few words from the man on the stage would lift the minds of everyone present. By the time the first treasure appeared, many monks in the seats downstairs were already breathing heavily and looking up with wide eyes. .
"This is a two-hundred-year-old solitary lamp spirit fruit..." Zhou Yihan moved his jade hand, and everyone saw that in the lotus pond around them, there was a lotus flower waiting to bloom. At this moment, a lotus suddenly bloomed, and a ball of white light emerged from the center of the flower, slowly. It fell into the hands of the people on the stage. It was not until the light faded that the spiritual fruit that looked like a lantern took on its shape.
Zhao Xun smiled when he saw it. The secret method was quite new. However, the auction had always been from simple to deep, and the value of the treasures was from low to high. Most of the items auctioned first were needed by the monks such as Ji Ji and Yuan Ning downstairs. The types ranged from elixirs and magical materials to magic weapons and elixirs, but she was not very interested in them.
