"Elixirs, top-grade elixirs, all kinds available..."
"Excellent ink talisman, personally refined by Master Huanyun Zongqi, with extraordinary power..."
"The transfer of high-grade magic weapons is on a first-come, first-served basis..."
"A set of armor..."
"..."
Although it was early in the morning, the market was still bustling with people, and there were stalls set up everywhere. On the street, there were almost countless monks stopping in front of every stall, and the sounds of bargaining could be heard one after another.
There was still some time, and the three of them were not walking very fast. Moreover, in such a crowded street, they couldn't go fast even if they wanted to. I could only walk while listening to the lively cries around me.
However, when he heard that the fine ink talismans were made by Master Huanyun Zongqi, he couldn't help but be startled, and he instantly thought of a person, the person from the Huanyun Zongqi family who was obsessed with talismans. Girl Qi Ru.
Unexpectedly, the other party in the past was not just a whim, but always insisted on his own preferences. Until now, he has become a master of Fu Dao, and he is also from his Mo Fu lineage. He was surprised and at the same time a little speechless. of pleasure.
He scanned them with his spiritual consciousness and found that almost every piece was of extremely high quality, causing an endless stream of monks to come forward to inquire about the price. What's more important is that it is not a simple copy, but some subtle innovations based on his original talismans, which is really rare.
After passing through the crowded crowd, it took the three of them nearly half an hour to finally reach a huge stone building with a height of thirteen floors.
This is the Jiutian Pavilion, which belongs to the Jiutian Merchant Alliance. It is also the largest and most powerful comprehensive store in Tiantian City.
"As expected of the Jiutian Merchant Alliance's head office, its scale is much larger than the branches of other merchant alliances." Lian Feihua said with emotion as she looked at the towering building in front of her.
"After all, it is a property of the Nine Nations Alliance, and it is still in the main store. Naturally, it cannot be compared with other stores." Han Yunzhi answered with a smile while holding the other party's arm.
"That's true." Lian Feihua nodded, and then said,
"Speaking of which, I once came to Tiantian City with my father when I was young. Unfortunately, I only stayed for a short time due to some reasons. I have never seen this city."
"I can't compare to Sister Lian. This is my first time in Tiantian City." Han Yunzhi sighed lightly. Although he came from a family, he and his brother were not taken seriously when he was young until he showed enough talent. Only then did things change. Even so, with the strength of the Han family at the time, it was impossible to take her all the way south to the Nine Nations Alliance.
This aspect is far different from Lian Feihua. Not only does she have a father who is in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, but she is also the other's only daughter. She has been loved by him since she was a child. I am afraid that even if she wants to pick the stars or the moon, Lian Feihua will not do it. Will try my best to satisfy.
When we first got to know each other, even calling them sisters, we were still somewhat weak.
However, I have the best husband in the world, so I don't feel inferior. In addition, my ancestor later became a Nascent Soul monk, so the original unconfidence in my heart quickly dissipated.
After getting along, the two truly became close friends who talked about everything.
While chatting, the three of them also entered through the door one after another.
Because of the big auction, the Jiutian Pavilion has already closed normal transactions today. The entire first-floor hall is empty, and there is not a single idle customer.
A long white jade platform was temporarily built near the door. Behind it were several deacons in uniform uniforms. They checked the admission letters of visitors, collected participation fees, and prepared disguise masks for those who needed them.
When Mo Juren took out a rather delicate invitation card from his hand, several deacons were immediately surprised. The reason is also very simple. This is a VIP invitation that only strong people in the Nascent Soul stage possess.
The man in front of me didn't hide his cultivation. If I read correctly, he should be a late-stage pill-forming monk, right? I didn't expect to be able to hold such a top-notch invitation letter. As expected, it must have a prominent status.
The deacons did not dare to neglect such a presence. One of the young monks in white shirt took the initiative to step forward,
"It turns out that distinguished guests are here. Please forgive me for my indifference. Let me personally bring a few of them up."
"Thank you." Mo Juren naturally did not refuse. He paid the three people's participation fees in advance, received three disguise masks, and then walked upstairs under the guidance of the other party.
As for the invitation letter, it was naturally sent by Ye Xiyue, but it was impossible for him to explain anything.
While slowly going upstairs, the young man in white shirt also carefully introduced several people.
It turns out that there are two auctions today, one is on the third floor, and the participants are mainly monks in the foundation building stage, and the other is on the sixth floor, which is dedicated to monks in the alchemy stage and Nascent Soul stage. However, if monks in the alchemy stage want to participate, they must meet certain conditions.
The so-called meeting the conditions naturally requires proof of sufficient financial resources, otherwise you will not be allowed to go up. And as long as you have enough spiritual stones, Jiutian Pavilion will naturally not shut out wealth.
The Merchant Alliance holds such an auction in such a vigorous manner, naturally it is not to do good things, but to earn enough profits is the ultimate goal. Not to mention anything else, the participation fee for just two auctions is a large amount of money.
"So, you only need to pay an entrance fee of two hundred spirit stones to participate in the auction on the third floor?" Lian Feihua suddenly asked. The three people just paid five hundred spirit stones each, which was more than double.
"There is a huge gap between the two auctions. They are completely incomparable in terms of scale and items." Understanding what the other party meant, the young man in white shirt quickly gave an explanation. After a pause, he continued,
"Moreover, this senior has a VIP invitation, so he can check into the special VIP room directly without having to crowd in the hall with other monks."
"VIP room?" Lian Feihua was a little curious.
"The so-called VIP room is a separate room set up by this pavilion for the Nascent Soul stage powerhouses who come to participate in the auction. It not only has a good environment, but also has many benefits, etc., and the privacy is also very good." Here, the young man in white shirt subconsciously glanced at Mo Juren from the corner of his eye, and then said,
"The VIP room also has privileges. VIPs who enter it can bring their relatives and subordinates with them."
"That's it." Lian Feihua suddenly realized, but said again,
"Doesn't that mean that even if we don't have tickets, we can still participate in the auction and enter the VIP room?"
"What the senior said is true. This pavilion gives the greatest degree of preferential treatment to any distinguished guest. Apart from the fee reduction and exemption for the relatives and subordinates who come together, there will be no other restrictions..."
With the continuous introduction of the young man in white shirt, the three of them also learned more about the upcoming auction, especially some of the processes during the auction, as well as some matters that need attention.
At the same time, the four of them finally arrived on the sixth floor. The moment they pushed the door open, they saw an unusually large hall.
Similar to the style of many auction houses, this place also has a double-layer design.
The lower level is naturally the main body of the hall, with a central high platform and rows of seats built in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
The upper floor is surrounded by a suspended corridor, with an extended outdoor bleacher, and a corresponding closed room at the rear, which is the so-called VIP room mentioned by the young man in white shirt.
It was still early, and there were not many people in the lower hall at this time, only about 30%. They were all monks in the alchemy stage, but not a single person could be seen on the stands in the upper corridor.
The three of them had VIP invitations, so they naturally did not need to go to the lower level. Instead, following the guidance of the young man in white shirt, they climbed directly up a staircase and entered the suspended corridor one after another.
This scene inevitably fell into the eyes of some monks in the Danjie stage. They were surprised and even speculated about the origins of the new man and two women. Could it be that they were the accompanying relatives of a strong man in the Nascent Soul stage?
Because they were wearing disguise masks, naturally no one could recognize anyone else. However, facing such an existence that was obviously of extraordinary origin, everyone could not help but become curious.
Number A twenty-three!
When I walked to a room door, I happened to see the house number engraved on it, which was consistent with the number registered in the invitation letter.
What's even more strange is that on the seemingly ordinary red wooden door, there are actually complicated spiritual patterns carved on it, faintly forming a special restriction, which has a strong protective effect on the penetration of the monk's spiritual consciousness.
No wonder the young man in white shirt mentioned before that the privacy here is very good and it is covered by restrictions. Even the monks at the Nascent Soul stage can't even think of finding out what's going on inside.
As the red wooden door opened, a small but exquisitely decorated room came into view.
Several people entered one after another, and the young man in white shirt introduced again:
"This is the VIP room. The seniors can rest in the room first. When the auction starts, they can either bid directly in the room or choose to bid on the stands outside. It doesn't matter.
In addition, our pavilion has two maids in each VIP room. Firstly, they serve as escorts. Secondly, they can also answer the questions encountered by the distinguished guests in a timely manner. If the distinguished guests need it, they can even be taken away for free..."
"Forget it about the maids. The area here is not big, and two more will be too crowded." Mo Juren's heart twitched, and he refused with an unnatural expression.
"Uh... Of course that's fine, but this junior didn't think it through properly..." The young man in white shirt was naturally not stupid, and he guessed what was happening almost instantly. A trace of panic suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly,
"That being the case, I won't bother you anymore. If the seniors have anything else to do later, you can directly ask the deacons outside the corridor. The same thing..."
After giving instructions again, the young man in white shirt left in a hurry.
The moment the door closed, Mo Juren took off his mask, then turned to look at Han Yunzhi, whose expression changed, and asked in surprise:
"You girl, you are just two maids. Do you need to be so sensitive?"
"I..." Han Yunzhi was about to cry. It was clear that Lian Feihua had deliberately pushed her arm, and as a result, she subconsciously touched her husband's waist.
Just as she was about to explain, she was held by the latter's arm again, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes, which made her a little bit unbearable.
"That...I bumped into him accidentally. I didn't mean to doubt Brother Mo."
"It's okay, I'm just overthinking it." Mo Juren's eyes flashed slightly, and he vaguely saw something. He was speechless and didn't bother to argue with some inconspicuous family member, so he immediately changed the subject and said,
"There's still some time before the auction starts, so please sit down."
Although the room is small, it is well-equipped with all kinds of furniture. There is a pure white square jade table in the center, on which many high-quality spiritual fruits have been placed in advance, exuding wisps of fragrance from time to time.
This aroused the interest of the two women, and they started to taste it without being polite. As the saying goes, the soil and water nourish the people, and spiritual things are no exception. These unique spiritual fruits produced from the Nine Nations Alliance are indeed good in taste.
In addition to spiritual fruits, there are also spiritual teas that have been prepared. Knowing her husband's preferences and having tasted a few spiritual fruits, Han Yunzhi did not continue, but started making tea with a serious expression.
"You are so lucky to have a confidante like Yunzhi. Even I am a little jealous." Lian Feihua, who saw everything in her eyes, said with emotion.
"It's not easy to find a confidante. With your status, you can just find one." Mo Juren replied with a half-smile.
"I don't like other people. Only gentle, kind and considerate women like sister Yunzhi are my favorite." Lian Feihua smiled, not embarrassed at all, but Han Yun heard this Zhi couldn't bear it, her cheeks turned red instantly, but she knew that the other party was joking, so she didn't say anything and continued to work on the tea set in her hand.
"I said that after so many years, you can't even find a man you like. It turns out that you have advanced ideas. You don't like men but love pink. I admire you."
"You have advanced ideas. This girl is very normal." Lian Feihua glared at the other party and continued,
"I just haven't met the right one, and I don't want to wrong myself. There are countless young talents in the entire demon world who want to pursue this girl. If I had relaxed my requirements a little, I would have found my right husband long ago."
Lian Feihua is not exaggerating in the slightest. Although her appearance is mediocre and not comparable to beautiful women, she is still pretty. Coupled with her prominent family background and background, there are many people who want to climb high.
It's a pity that she is a perfectionist at heart and is not someone she really likes. It is absolutely impossible for her to have the slightest intention of compromising. Moreover, because of her extraordinary background, she has seen countless geniuses. If they are not truly outstanding, I don't like men at all.
"Obviously you pity your sister, but you are too high-minded. Sister Zhou Ying's brother Zhou Lin has been admiring you for hundreds of years and has never given up on your idea. It's just that you don't want to." Han Yunzhi Chang Zaitian Nan, naturally knew better, and immediately chuckled and teased.
"He!" Upon hearing Zhou Lin's name, Lian Feihua snorted coldly and continued,
"That loser is over a hundred years old, and he's still wandering around in the late stages of foundation building. I don't like him."
"I heard that Sister Zhou Ying mentioned that Zhou Lin has been in seclusion and is very likely to succeed in breaking through. By then, Sister Lian is not going to consider it? A man who has been chasing you for hundreds of years but still perseveres is said to be hard to find in the world. It’s too much.”
"It's useless if you break through. If you don't like it, you don't like it." Lian Feihua remained unmoved, but she quickly reacted.
"You girl, for shouting so hard for Zhou Lin, are you taking some advantage from him? Or is it because Zhou Ying wants to use you to say good things about her good-for-nothing brother?"
"I'm just making a suggestion. It has nothing to do with sister Zhou Ying. If you don't want to, forget it." Han Yunzhi just teased her casually, but had no other meaning.
While talking and laughing, he held a pot in his hand and made tea for Mo Juren. Seeing this, Lian Feihua couldn't help but snort, and then picked up a list next to the table.
This is the catalog of all the lots in today's auction. It is just a simple list of names, but it can be understood at a glance. That is to say, in the VIP area, the monks in the alchemy stage below obviously do not receive such treatment.
After all, it was the headquarters of the Jiutian Merchant Alliance, and it had been carefully prepared for so long. Everything inside was of the highest quality, and Lian Feihua’s eyes lit up when she looked at it.
Obviously, there was a treasure that she loved inside, but unfortunately she suddenly thought of her own situation, and quickly turned to look at Mo Juren and asked:
"Um, can I ask you something?"
