'Fengle Auction House' comes from Fengle League, one of the four major business alliances in Luan Xinghai. It is a super large auction house established by the other party in Tianxing City.
In fact, the four major business alliances have opened similar auction venues in Tianxing City, but in terms of prosperity, Fengle Auction House ranks first.
Mo Juren has been to Fengle City and still remembers the prosperity of business there. However, this is the first time he has seen the auction house established here.
Walking to a certain street, not far away is a towering luxury building. In front of the auction hall on the first floor, there is a huge signboard, which clearly lists countless product catalogs.
Level 5 and 6 demon elixirs, various high-level materials, and a large number of unheard-of rare items are all listed. There are even several level six monster spirits he needs, one of which is water-attributed.
Seeing this, Mo Juren was immediately overjoyed. Fengle Auction House was indeed strong, but it had solved his big problem. He made a vague decision in his heart. If possible, he must capture all these demon souls.
Stepping into the door, you will see an extremely luxurious and vast hall, crowded with people, and countless deacons dressed in moon-white clothes are constantly coming and going, carefully communicating with the guests.
Upon noticing Mo Juren's arrival, a young man approached immediately and said with great enthusiasm: "What does this fellow Taoist need?"
"Can I ask about the auction? When will it be held?"
"That's it." The young man suddenly realized that this person must have just arrived in Tianxing City not long ago, otherwise, it is impossible that he does not know the rules of Fengle Auction House, and he immediately explained,
"Our auctions are divided into four levels, micro, small, medium and large, which will be held every day, every month, every quarter and every year. Of course, the auction items will also be different, and the larger the auction Yes, the richer the number of items, the higher the value... Fellow Taoist arrival is just in time, the next medium-sized auction will be held in three days, and there will be a large number of rare items up for auction. This opportunity is not to be missed..."
"What's on the sign in front?" After listening to the other party's introduction, Mo Juren had a general understanding of the auction house's regulations.
"Exactly." The young man nodded, patted the storage bag, and a silver invitation appeared, handed it to the front and said,
"The auction will be held simultaneously on the first floor and the third floor respectively. As a monk in the foundation building stage, you can only be qualified to participate in the first floor, and the price is one hundred spirit stones. Of course, if you want to enter the third floor, you can also, But you need to pay five hundred spirit stones."
"..." Hearing this, Mo Juren was speechless. You guys are really stupid. The items in the auction are much more expensive than those in ordinary stores, and you still have to charge? Moreover, are foundation-building monks so unpopular? Do you still have to spend so many spiritual stones to purchase the qualifications to go to the third floor?
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
You don't need to think about it to know that the first floor must be just an ordinary auction, and the truly valuable things must be sold on the third floor.
"Do all monks pay like this?"
"The third floor is originally held for monks at the core-building stage and above. However, because it is a medium-sized auction, many high-level monks will not come, so this gives the foundation-building stage monks the opportunity to participate. As for the fees, they are all treated equally. , you have to pay the same number of spirit stones even during the elixir formation period." The young man explained calmly.
"That's it." Mo Juren didn't say anything more, just took out the spirit stone and handed it to the other party and said,
"Give me an invitation to the auction on the third floor."
"Wait a moment." The young man put away the spirit stone with a smile, and the light flashed again in his hand, revealing two things. A golden invitation card and a white jade slip.
"The golden invitation is a voucher for participation in the auction on the third floor, but you can also participate in the auction on the first floor. The jade slip contains all the procedures of the auction and the detailed catalog of the two venues. Taoist friends can read it carefully. Fan."
Mo Juren nodded slightly, and after taking it, he let go of his consciousness to investigate. After reading the contents, a look of satisfaction suddenly appeared in his eyes.
He didn't stay any longer, he cupped his hands with the other party, and then walked out of the hall.
Mo Juren did not stop after leaving Fengle Auction House and continued to the other three auction houses.
It has to be said that the competition among the four major business alliances is extremely fierce. There will be medium-sized auctions held next month, and they are only staggered by three or four days.
After an afternoon of detailed understanding, Mo Juren's eyes were opened. The countless various auctions were dazzling.
The only pity is that although there are countless rare treasures, the two 400-year-old elixirs that I need are not available, which is really frustrating.
He had no choice but to put aside his thoughts of buying from the auction for the time being, and instead returned directly to the upper level of the Holy Mountain.
…
"Master wants to buy a high-grade elixir?" In Han Li's cave, when he heard Mo Juren's intention, he couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"I have visited all the markets and even the four major auction houses. Unfortunately, these two elixirs are not available. I was thinking that you might have news about the elixirs since you have been in Tianxing City for many years."
"Heavenly Dream Fruit, Blood Sun Grass." Han Li frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said,
"The disciple does know a friend. He is very experienced in cultivating elixirs and has a lot of stocks in his hands. If master is not in a hurry, you might as well wait for a few months and you should be able to find it."
Mo Juren understood in his heart, but didn't say much. He took off a storage bag and put it on the table. He said calmly, "There's no rush. You can handle it yourself. In addition, there are some spiritual stones here. , should be enough to cover the cost of two elixirs..."
"Master, please don't do this!" Before he finished speaking, Han Li immediately interrupted and said with a serious expression,
"You have given a lot to your disciples over the years, but you have never asked for anything in return. To be honest, I have always felt indebted and thought about when I would repay you. But you only have a few 400-year-old elixirs and spiritual fruits. Don’t be too open-minded, just accept it with peace of mind.”
Although he values his own interests, he is not a cold-blooded person. On the contrary, the word "friendship" is taken very seriously. It's just because of his reserved and cautious personality that he doesn't show off easily.
The relationship between the two is not just a master and a disciple, but also a son-in-law. They should not receive spiritual stones under any circumstances. What's more, his elixir really cost nothing, and he felt guilty for hiding the truth all this time. If he really accepted the master's spiritual stone, his conscience would not be able to bear it.
With this thought in mind, he already picked up the storage bag to hand it back to the other party. However, when Mo Juren glared directly at him, he felt inexplicably panicked and his arms stopped.
"You..." Looking at the other party's still serious expression, Mo Juren sighed in his heart, and he expected such a result. While feeling slightly warm in my heart, I couldn't help but shake my head secretly. The materials last time were shared by two people, so there was no harm in accepting them.
However, elixirs are different. They will inevitably trouble the other party again in the future. The years of need will become higher and higher, and the quantity will also increase. You can't just get it for free every time.
After all, he is an elder, so he still needs face. What's more, only normal transactions will last long. He understands this truth.
In fact, he was not willing to trouble Han Li easily unless he had to. After all, it involved the other party's taboos. It would be better if the frequency was less, but it would inevitably arouse the other party's suspicion. Therefore, it is best to treat it as a last resort and use it at the most critical time.
"What I give you is my teacher's wish, so you can keep it with peace of mind. However, one code equals one code. This is the fee for you to buy the elixir. It is considered a normal transaction, so you naturally need to pay for the spiritual stone."
"But……"
"It's nothing but, it's settled like this, I still won't listen to Master's words..."
"Then... okay." Seeing his master's increasingly unquestionable expression, Han Li knew he couldn't shirk it and had no choice but to agree. However, I was thinking in my heart that I owed Master too much, and I would have to make up for it in other ways in the future.
After thinking for a while, he immediately changed the topic and said,
"When does Master plan to retreat?"
"It's almost time to start when your elixir arrives." Mo Juren didn't hide anything and replied directly.
"So fast!" Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but look surprised. Attacking the core is no small matter and requires sufficient preparation. After all, just one pill-forming bottleneck can choke countless people.
However, the master has always been mysterious, and his qualifications are even more difficult to predict. Not only is his training speed astonishing, but his strength is also extremely powerful, which cannot be measured by common sense.
It is not difficult to understand why he chose to retreat so quickly.
After the business was done, Mo Juren didn't stay long and turned around to leave.
Han Li himself, on the other hand, stood there with his expression changing.
The master is about to attack the pill formation. In his usual style, he must make a decision before taking action. If he considers it properly, he has a great chance of success.
But what about yourself? We are still in the late stage of foundation building, and we are still far away from forming the core.
Then I thought of the 'Three Turns of Chongyuan Gong'. According to the records of the technique, as long as you practice the "Qingyuan Sword Art" to the sixth level, you can perform the first turn.
Because it had just broken through not long ago, I thought about consolidating for a while and waiting until it was completely stable before starting again. Now that I think about it, there is no need to be so harsh. One day earlier and one day later does not seem to have much impact. Anyway, it is just to compress and condense the true energy.
As for cultivating to the peak of foundation building and directly attacking the core formation, he would never dare to think about such an idea. With his qualifications, it is simply impossible.
The 'Three Transformations of Chongyuan Gong' and 'Dayan Jue' must be prepared step by step, so that the success rate can be greatly guaranteed.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but make a decision in his heart. When the elixir was ready, he and his master would retreat at the same time, trying to complete the first round of practice before transforming into the elixir.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
Early in the morning, in the cave.
Mo Juren, who was about to set off, flashed a light in his hand, and a transparent mask appeared. There are many such things in the market, with high and low quality. Thinking of participating in the auction, he bought a few by the way.
He raised his hand, and the face of a rough and arrogant man appeared. He checked in the mirror, then without hesitation, went straight down the holy mountain and flew towards the market on the first floor at high speed.
Although it was not yet time, Fengle Auction House was already open at this time, and countless monks who planned to participate in the auction were already arriving.
When Mo Juren arrived, he happened to see an endless stream of figures at the entrance of the hall, some in groups, some alone, but all of them gathered towards the hall with excitement on their faces.
He did not delay and also moved forward. When he reached the door, he was stopped by a deacon. Seeing the golden invitation in his hand, he immediately handed over a sign and ignored the mask.
"B, Twelve" Looking at the sign in his hand, Mo Juren had a vague guess in his mind. He put on his mask and walked straight to the lobby on the first floor.
