There was no one around.
The black-faced Xuanjun who had just left Taohua Temple appeared here for some unknown reason.
"Hmph, there are actually late-stage god-transformation monks participating in the competition." He seemed to be talking to himself.
"Don't worry, with me here, even in the late stage of divine transformation, it will be difficult to beat you in the bidding." A man's voice suddenly sounded from the ears of the black-faced Xuanjun, and his words were full of confidence.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Then there was a flash of light, and an illusory old man in Ge Yi appeared.
"Mr. Ge, is the location you mentioned really as good as the Emerald Tang Valley? It's not that I doubt it, but the curative effects of various places in Xiao Tang Valley have always been determined, with the Emerald Tang Valley being the best, and the Yellow Jade Valley being the best. Secondly, Qingyu Tanggu is the worst. With so many resources invested this time, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid..." When the black-faced Xuanjun saw the old man Ge Yi, he seemed to have changed. His expression Zhang Yang disappeared, and he immediately bowed and became respectful.
"Don't worry about this. I am the only one who knows the secret of that position. On the surface, the effect of position 55 is mediocre, but in fact, as long as you dig out the spring hole and drain the water for a while, you will immediately have a water that is no less than the jade soup." The curative effect of Gu is best for healing the wounds you suffered from the Night Demon, and I won’t make fun of my own hope of rebirth." The old man in Ge Yi said confidently, stroking his beard.
"I see, I understand, Mr. Ge." Upon hearing the explanation, Black-faced Xuanjun immediately beamed.
If he can really heal the pain that Night Demon left on him, then he will have no worries after advancing to the realm of refining the void.
"However, your competitor does not seem to be a simple person. His aura is stable and his aura is so strong in the spiritual realm. At this level of cultivation in the divine transformation stage, it is the best I have ever seen in my life. After that. During the bidding process, you'd better be willing to spend more money. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be an accident this time." The old man Ge Yi pondered for a while, and then reminded him again.
This time, he didn't just speak, but opened his mouth and spit out a small golden talisman.
With a click of his finger, the small talisman floated into the hands of the black-faced Xuanjun.
"This is the Small Void Sky Talisman, which is of extraordinary value. Hold it for an extra layer of protection."
Upon hearing what Mr. Ge said, Black-faced Xuanjun looked overjoyed.
Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and then a bell sounded from the direction of Taohua Temple.
Bidding starts soon!
The black-faced Xuanjun turned around and turned into a ball of black light and escaped into the small nunnery.
Lu Zhong naturally didn't know all this, and he didn't expect that the location he was looking for actually contained a big secret. He was enjoying the refreshments provided by Xiaotanggu to himself.
Being able to eat is a blessing.
At the stage of transformation, although you have already been able to live without grains and no longer need to supplement nutrients from the outside world, eating regularly is not without benefits. Tasting various delicacies can also have a pleasant effect on the body and mind, which is of great benefit to your cultivation. Help.
But quiet time always flies by.
After everyone arrived, the bidding for each position began immediately.
According to everyone's previously registered position, the interior of Taohua Temple will be divided into small venues during the bidding stage. For example, Lu Zhong is now in a private room, and other monks participating in the competition are also there.
However, out of the eighteen registrants, only nine were present.
In other words, half of the people chose to give up.
"The time has come. It seems that this time, only the nine of you will participate in the competition. It will save me a lot of time." Deep in the room, an old woman with curly hair was sitting. At this moment, she stood up from her position and rushed forward. Everyone bowed as usual, and then continued: "You can just call me Grandma Du. I am the person responsible for presiding over the bidding for No. 55 of Qingyu Tanggu. The specific bidding rules are all clear to all fellow Taoists. Then I won’t say much nonsense. As for the punishment for random quotations, all Taoist friends present should already know it.
Quick decision, who will be the first to make an offer? "
"I'll come." In the corner of the room, a very weak female cultivator stood up with a golden face.
She walked up to Granny Du and handed out a piece of paper.
The latter saw it and announced to the rest of the room:
"No. 1, the bid is one thousand, is there anything higher?"
When Lu Zhong heard the price, he was not only slightly surprised.
This thousand, if converted into spiritual stones, is equivalent to ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Even for a god-transforming monk, it is a large amount. Usually, you have to go without eating or drinking for a long time to earn this amount.
It can be seen that this woman has exhausted all her wealth in order to heal her wounds.
"I'll pay one thousand and one." Another person stood up and reported his price.
Compared with the female cultivator before, this male cultivator with his head covered is undoubtedly much worse.
With every step he takes, more black tentacles will shoot out from the shadow behind him. They will pierce into the back of the person's head and pull his penis out of the body bit by bit until it is pulled into the shadow.
"Grandma Du, this is my bid list." The male cultivator held out the note in his hand with great hope.
But before he finished speaking, other monks mercilessly offered a higher price.
Who among those present is not miserable?
Many people would rather serve the Tu Palace for a thousand years in exchange for a chance to heal. After all, every time a monk of the Transformation God survives a thunder tribulation, he can live another three thousand years. Now, it is worth one-third of his time in exchange for a chance to survive.
Time passed little by little, and Lu Zhong remained motionless.
The craziness of the bids greatly exceeded the expectations before the start, but it was still within his tolerance.
Soon, the price reached two thousand.
Compared with the beginning, it has doubled.
Even so, the price increase momentum has not slowed down.
"Hmph! Raising the price little by little is a waste of time. I bid three thousand, but there is no one who can compete with me!" Black-faced Xuanjun sneered at this time and raised the price to three thousand.
After hearing this, many people shook their heads and exited.
Originally, the black-faced Xuanjun didn't speak, but they still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, thinking they had a chance to succeed in the competition.
But now, it has been increased to three thousand.
It was like completely extinguishing hope.
After a while, only three people were left in the field.
They are Granny Du, black-faced Xuanjun, and Lu Zhong who has never made a bid.
"Very good! I didn't expect that you still have some courage and even have the idea of participating in the competition. But I advise you to give up, because my black-faced Xuanjun has accumulated more than ten thousand years, which is far beyond what a person with no foundation can compare with you. ." Black-faced Xuanjun glanced at Lu Zhong, his face twisted for a while before a sinister smile appeared, and he said with great confidence.
But he didn't expect that Lu Zhong just smiled faintly after hearing this.
Not even the slightest bit of understanding.
When the black-faced Xuanjun saw this, he couldn't help but became furious. If Xiaotanggu hadn't banned the fight, he would have made this man's blood splatter on the spot.
Granny Du didn't care about such a tense scene. She moved her turbid eyes to Lu Zhong and reminded her kindly: "Fellow Taoist, since you don't give up the competition, just tell me the price. I'll see if your spiritual realm is pure." Chengcheng must be someone who has not survived many tribulations, so he might as well make a bold offer, even if he spends more years working for the Tu Palace, it is better than dying, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhong had no reaction, but the black-faced Xuanjun suddenly became nervous.
Black-faced Xuanjun was already cursing secretly in his heart.
Granny Du's move made the person opposite her completely aware of her own advantages.
As a result, he would have to pay more if he wanted to win.
Little did he know that Lu Zhong was thinking the same way at the moment.
"Sure enough, Jiang must be very old. After Granny Du's words, no matter how high the price I raise, the black-faced Xuanjun opposite will think that I am increasing the number of years to work for the Tuwang Palace. If I come and go again, even if I If I succeed in the competition in the end, I'm afraid I'll have to bleed a lot just because of the other party's seemingly well-intentioned reminder."
Is there a way to break the situation? Of course there is.
Xiao Yutani's rule is that you only quote prices, but don't need to show financial resources.
Essentially, it is to avoid murder and treasure grabbing.
Because no one knows how many years the competitors will have to work for the Tu Palace in order to win.
Kill people and steal treasures under unknown circumstances.
It is very likely that after a huge price-paying battle, not only did he get no benefits, but he provoked the Tu Palace and gave himself a difficult enemy for nothing.
Keeping your wealth private is a way to protect yourself, but sometimes it can be the other way around.
Now is the best time.
Lu Zhong thought for a moment, walked to the middle of the elegant room, and swept his sleeves away.
Suddenly, the room was illuminated by spiritual light.
It was a pile of medium and high-grade spiritual stones, the quantity of which was worth three thousand.
Seeing this scene, the black-faced Xuanjun fell into silence.
You know, his highest ability is only four thousand.
Now, the opponent takes out three thousand worth of spiritual stones at once, plus its huge lifespan advantage.
It can be said that he really doesn't have much chance of winning.
At this time, it stands to reason that Black-faced Xuanjun should give up on his own initiative. After all, although his injuries are difficult to cure, as long as he is willing to spend time, he can still heal them with his own strength. If you continue to raise the price now, you will unintentionally provoke your enemies. I don't know whether the strength is higher than the opponent's. It is not a wise move after all.
"I give up!"
After a period of silence, Black-faced Xuanjun said this.
When Lu Zhong heard this, he looked surprised.
He originally thought that there would be fierce competition, or even a fight.
But I didn't expect...
"Thank you so much, fellow Taoist!" Lu Zhong said, cupping his hands.
On the other side, Black-faced Xuanjun left Peach Blossom Temple, declined the solicitation of the Tuwang Palace monks, and turned around to an uninhabited land.
"Mr. Ge, why did you suddenly ask me to give up just now?"
"Of course it's for the chance!" Elder Ge's figure appeared at this time, with a faint smile on his face, reminding: "Since that person can produce 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones, the treasures he carries will only be more. You Think about it, if we can get it, what a rich resource it will be by then. Aren't you still worried about how to raise the resources for advanced Void Refining? Now is a good opportunity! I was already there just now There are extremely obscure marks on people, and their perpetrators can be traced at any time."
"This..." Black-faced Xuanjun hesitated.
Although he does things as he pleases, he is by no means the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
Not to mention, directly killing people and grabbing treasures.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Ge smiled on the surface, but in fact he was smiling sinisterly in his heart, feeling secretly proud of his plan to kill two birds with one stone.
That’s right, killing two birds with one stone.
On the surface, the reason why Black-faced Xuanjun was proposed to kill people and seize treasures was to obtain resources.
But secretly, he is also paving the way for his future plans.
Ge Lao was originally known as the Old Man of Shishan. He was originally a monk who had reached the Mahayana stage with his cultivation level. However, in the battle 30,000 years ago, he unfortunately died at the hands of evil people. Yang Shen was also swallowed up by the enemy, leaving only a remnant soul wandering. I had to play the role of "grandpa" in the unexpected encounter.
The old man from Shishan never gave up the idea of resurrection.
The various methods of resurrection that I told Black-faced Xuanjun before sounded extremely real, but in fact they were nothing more than lies.
His real purpose was after Black-faced Xuanjun fell into evil.
Seize the house and replace it.
Seeing the black-faced Xuanjun's hesitation, the old man from Shishan was afraid that his plan would fail, so he began to persuade him.
...
at the same time.
Lu Zhong had just received the prohibition token and plunged into the mist-shrouded mountains, flying towards the Qingyu Tang Valley. High in the sky, he scanned it briefly and found that this "Little Tang Valley" was tens of thousands of miles wide.
In this vast area, there are spiritual veins with amazing spiritual energy.
Different from the spiritual veins elsewhere, the spiritual energy emitted by these spiritual veins in Xiaotang Valley is not so much spiritual energy as it is a special medicinal spiritual energy, hence the name "Tang spiritual energy", which has a strong healing effect on monks' injuries. . They were mixed in the groundwater and flowed out of the surface with the MiMi Hot Spring, creating today's Xiaotang Valley.
Not long after, Lu Zhong flew over the Qingyu Tang Valley.
Along the way, he has discovered four or five places with restricted areas, shrouded in clouds, which are obviously where other hot spring healing places are located.
Didn't visit or bother.
When Lu Zhong continued to fly forward, following the guidance of the prohibition token, he finally arrived at position 55.
This is a cave mansion built by the water, covering an area of several miles, with various pavilions and pavilions as far as the eye can see. And within the next hundred years, the right to use this place will belong to him alone.
Lu Zhong took a deep breath, the rich soup spirit filled his lungs, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
He was anxious to start healing immediately.
Instead, a circle of warning restrictions was set up around the hot spring cave, not only to prevent unauthorized entry, but also to prevent some low-level monsters from entering. Afterwards, a fifth-level formation was set up to provide sufficient protection for one's own safety.
After doing this, Lu Zhongcai flashed and entered the depths of the cave.
The water is steaming here.
After being sealed for hundreds of years, the soup spiritual energy inside was so rich that it almost turned into substance. This brought about an astonishing therapeutic effect. Just by sitting cross-legged, he could feel the injury and it was stabilizing rapidly.
"Those 30,000 high-grade spiritual stones seem to have been spent correctly!" Lu Zhong thought excitedly.
If this effect of Tang Lingqi can last, perhaps in addition to stabilizing the injury, he can also recover slightly.
To confirm what is in your heart.
He no longer hesitated and began to heal his injuries.
