"Don't be nervous."
Yuwentai smiled, with a hint of gentleness in his voice:
"I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want to see you with my own eyes."
"You may also know that I came from a humble background. I was just a small casual cultivator who built the foundation by chance. My achievements today are mostly due to luck."
He said, paused, and then said warmly:
"When I was poor, your ancestors helped me. I have always been grateful for your kindness."
"But after I became successful, I looked for your ancestor, but couldn't find it. I was never able to repay my kindness, which became a regret in my heart."
"It wasn't until this big auction that I accidentally discovered you and confirmed your bloodline that I confirmed that you are his descendant..."
Li Shuixian was stunned and looked confused.
She never thought in her wildest dreams that her ancestors would actually show kindness to a big shot like Yu Wentai.
But Yu Wentai is almost two hundred years old. If we really want to trace back, the ancestors who were able to show kindness to him were at least five or six generations away.
Her family has declined to this day, and she is the only member left. All the genealogy books have been burned, and they can no longer be traced back.
"Am I... struck by a chance from heaven?"
In Li Shuixian's mind, thoughts were spinning stiffly, and he felt like he was dizzy and drunk. He could hardly believe that all of this was true.
"Meeting each other means we are destined, not to mention being old friends."
Yuwentai smiled slightly and said:
"I have never been married, and I have never had a disciple."
"If you don't mind it, I would like to accept you as my first direct disciple. What do you think?"
Li Shuixian was completely confused when he heard this.
Seeing her stunned, Yu Wentai raised his eyebrows and pretended to be joking:
"Why, could it be that you don't want to?"
"No...no! Of course I do!"
Li Shuixian woke up with a start, and quickly knelt down on the ground, bowed and kowtowed three times, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a trembling voice:
"Disciple Li Shuixian, pay your respects to Master!"
"Okay, okay! Hahaha..."
Yuwentai gave a long laugh, helped her up, and said warmly:
"These two days are the period of the big auction. The building is short of manpower and the timing is unlucky."
"After the big auction is over, I will hold a glorious apprenticeship ceremony for you!"
"this……"
Li Shuixian hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously declined:
"Teacher, Master, why don't we forget it."
Until now, she felt as if she was dreaming.
When she heard Yu Wentai's words, the inferiority complex engraved in her bones made her instinctively reject such things as being in the limelight and becoming famous all over the world.
"...Okay, since you don't want to, I won't force it."
Yuwentai waved his hand and said:
"You don't have to worry about the wanted order from the GCC. I will personally send someone to discuss it with their leader, Qingxu Zhenren."
"As long as he is a person who understands promotion, he will know what to do."
As he spoke, he paused, an imperceptible haze flashed in his eyes, and asked:
"And the blood spell on you... seems to have been broken?"
"right."
Li Shuixian whispered:
"It was Master Qingxu who helped me untie it, otherwise I might have died at the end of my life."
For this, she is still very grateful.
After hearing that Yu Wentai's tone was not very good, she was a little worried that he would take out the wanted order on Master Qingxu, so she quickly clarified this point.
"Is it……"
When Yuwentai heard her words, his expression softened a little and he said slowly:
"However, common solutions to such vicious spells only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause."
"It's not easy to eradicate it from the bloodline."
His eyes darkened and he sighed:
"You should practice well first."
"The remaining blood spell in your body... I will try to solve it for you."
…………
at the same time:
On the 300th floor of Tianbao Tower, in the venue of the grand auction.
"...It's over!"
In the private room on the second floor, Fuyaozi slumped down on a chair, looking dejected.
The competition for the Foundation Establishment Pills in this big auction was particularly fierce. The first one set a record-breaking public auction price, and the prices of the remaining pills also increased collectively.
The cheapest one fetched a high price of 63,000 spirit stones, which was obviously higher than the usual batch.
And Fuyaozi only had a pitiful 55,000 spirit stones. Even though he was willing to pay losses to fill his savings, he couldn't buy any foundation-building pills.
"Now I return to Weiguo, what should I do to explain?"
Fuyaozi's face looked ugly, and the battle between thoughts in his heart became more intense.
Among the several foundation builders of the Xige Sect, he was originally the most junior person and was responsible for doing the dirty work.
This time the mission of auctioning the Foundation Establishment Pill failed, and he would not be in a good mood if he went back. He would definitely be reprimanded and criticized, and he would probably be assigned tedious tasks such as guarding the elixir and teaching disciples.
He had had enough of this life, which was as bland as a pool of stagnant water, with the end visible at a glance, almost cutting off his path to immortality!
"...Fuck you!"
In Fuyaozi's heart, a long-pressed anger suddenly arose, and he gritted his teeth:
"Why should I continue to be a cow or a horse for you to exploit?"
He tightly grasped the special storage bag in his hand, with fire burning in his eyes:
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"These 55,000 spirit stones should be regarded as the interest earned from my hard work for so many years!"
After Fuyaozi made up his mind, he seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden, and his expression became much more relaxed.
He leaned back in his chair and no longer cared about the auction items at the venue. He just waited quietly for the auction to end, silently thinking about the future.
Time continues to pass.
"... Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Box Yi Qi, who used 7,800 spirit stones to capture this bottle of blood essence of the 'Thousand Years Black Ao' during the Foundation Establishment Period!"
Duan Bingxu shouted loudly and rang the bell nearby.
In Box Y7 on the second floor, Zhang Yao sat up straight and relaxed again, with a smile on his face.
Although the blood essence of the demon race in the foundation-building stage is rare, the competition is not too fierce. He just paid a little higher than the market price and easily got it.
"The fourth blood essence is also available!"
In Zhang Yao's mind, thoughts kept flashing:
"When the big auction is over, it's time to go to Li Country and get the legacy of Master Wan He."
"Coupled with the progress of the bloodline test, if everything goes well, the remaining blood essence should be collected soon."
Thinking of this, he calmed down, sat down in the box, and waited patiently for the auction to continue.
One after another, precious items were served and taken away like dishes on a flowing banquet. Zhang Yao also bid several times and took several pieces of precious treasures such as the 'Tianguang Silver' and 'Shui Yun Mo'. material.
Until more than ten hours later:
This once-in-a-decade auction is finally coming to an end and has reached its final stage.
"Fellow Taoists."
In the center of the venue, Duan Bingxu’s enthusiasm remained undiminished, he smiled brightly and shouted vigorously:
“Next, comes the highly anticipated final step—the grand finale!”
"In this grand auction, there are a total of six final treasures, including top-grade spiritual elixirs, top-level spiritual weapons, treasures of heaven and earth... and so on."
He said, paused, and raised his voice:
"The first thing to appear is the first finale treasure - the top-level spiritual weapon 'Thousand-Change Glass Qi'!"
After the words fell, a square beside him rose, and a silver tray was suspended in the air.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of monks, Duan Bingxu pulled away the red cloth on the tray, revealing a group of colorful translucent objects.
This translucent object is constantly changing and swimming inside. Looking from a distance, it really looks like glass that has come alive, giving people a light and floating feeling, which is obviously gas.
"This is the Qian-Changing Glazed Qi, which has the power to be ever-changing."
Duan Bingxu said, entering into the preliminary ritual of mana, and began to practice the power:
"After the combination of mana and energy, with a movement of spiritual thought, the Qian-Changing Glazed Qi can evolve into any form, simulating thousands of different spiritual weapons."
As he spoke:
The Thousand-Change Glazed Qi shook out of thin air, shining with iridescent luster, and instantly evolved into an extremely sharp flying sword.
The next moment, the flying sword swayed in the air again, and after a flash of colorful light, it turned into a big drum, and then turned into stone inkstones, jade ruyi, bronze mirrors, ancient lamps, tripods... and other shapes of different shapes. Spiritual weapon.
"What a rare treasure!"
"That's right, one of these ever-changing spiritual weapons can be as powerful as ten of them!"
"Good guy, if anyone wants to buy this back, it must be a killer weapon..."
Many of the foundation-building masters were excited and excited, and they were talking a lot.
Different spiritual weapons have different levels of power, but they also have different effects. Some spiritual weapons for escape, communication, life-preservation, and assistance are no less valuable than those for killing and protecting oneself.
If one possesses the Thousand-Change Glazed Qi, one can simulate the effects of these different spiritual weapons. Not only will the combat effectiveness be greatly increased, but also all aspects of one's own self will be improved.
"Good baby! It's indeed a good baby!"
Zhang Yao was also very excited and somewhat amazed.
Even though I have read the relevant introductions a long time ago, the images in the Jade Book File are still different from what I actually saw with my own eyes.
"Buzz!"
The five-color scroll collapsed and turned into colorful glazed gas again, falling into Duan Bingxu's hands.
Duan Bingxu held it in one hand, looked around and said loudly:
"The top level spiritual weapon - Thousand Transformations Glazed Qi, the base price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones. Bidding starts now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the voices of bidding came out from the many boxes on the second floor, one after another:
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and thirty thousand! I will pay one hundred and thirty thousand!"
"One hundred and thirty-five thousand..."
Almost instantly, the price soared to over 150,000 spirit stones, instantly making the entire venue boil!
"There are quite a lot of rich people."
Zhang Yao raised his eyebrows, but he was not in a hurry to bid.
"...180,000 spirit stones!"
After just two breaths, the price of Thousand Changes Glazed Qi rose all the way to 180,000 spirit stones.
At this point, the number of strong foundation builders participating in the competition suddenly decreased, with only two or three remaining.
There were naturally far more than a handful of Jindan Sect elders and leaders of the forces present, but more of them chose to give up the bidding amid hesitation and thought.
The foundation-building experts who have cultivated to this point are all well-informed people, and they can see the shortcomings of this 'Thousand-Change Glazed Qi' at a glance:
First, if you want to maintain the change, you need extremely powerful magic power; second, it is best to be proficient in the art of weapon refining and forbidden magic in order to maximize its power.
With these two shortcomings, the appeal of Qianbian Liuli Qi is much less.
"Two hundred thousand spirit stones!"
Zhang Yao finally made a bid, and it was 200,000 spirit stones, which once again caused a sensation.
"It's Box Y7! A real person from the GCC!"
"The one who can offer 200,000...it seems to be the new leader of the GCC!"
"I guess so. He has only been in charge of the GCC for a few years, and he probably doesn't have a top-level spiritual weapon with him yet..."
Many Foundation Establishment Masters were discussing and were happy to watch the excitement.
"Twenty-five thousand!"
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"Two hundred and thirteen thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifteen thousand..."
After competing all the way, only Zhang Yao and another leader of the Xuanmen Society - 'Old Man Xuanyi' were left.
The price of both parties was very fierce, reaching the astonishing price of 230,000 spirit stones. It was obvious that both parties were determined to win, and neither party was willing to give in.
"Master Qingxu."
Seeing the stalemate, an old voice rang out along with the spiritual thoughts:
"I like this Thousand-Change Glazed Qi very much, and I hope Master Qingxu can achieve the beauty of a man."
"As long as Qingxu Guild Master can sell me this face, I am willing to transfer a top-level spiritual weapon in my hand to Qingxu Guild Master at a fair price."
From the perspective of old man Xuan Yi, his conditions were already very sincere.
After all, Zhang Yaocai is a new member of the Foundation Establishment. Even though his magic power is much higher than that of the same level, he is definitely not as good as a strong person in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, let alone one who has to master the art of weapon refining at the same time.
The Thousand-Change Glazed Qi falling into his hands was just a waste of natural resources. He was willing to transfer another top-level spiritual weapon at a fair price in exchange for this opportunity. This was already a proactive gesture. After all, how rare is a top-level spiritual weapon?
However, what he didn't expect was:
"Old man Xuanyi, I'm sorry."
Zhang Yao responded with a firm attitude:
"I also like this Thousand-Changing Glazed Qi Qi very much. Please forgive me for not letting it go."
"……good!"
The old man Xuanyi was silent for a moment before he responded, his tone slightly colder.
"Then I will give it to Master Qingxu."
When it comes to financial resources, he may not lose to Qingxu Zhenren who is in charge of the GCC.
But the opponent doesn't have a top-level spiritual weapon, so of course he is willing to spend money. It is unwise to fight with the opponent head-on, so he can only give up.
"Ah……"
Zhang Yao smiled indifferently and didn't care.
At his current cultivation speed, he will be able to advance to the mid-stage foundation building stage in at most ten years, and his strength will skyrocket even further by then.
By that time, his strength will be comparable to that of Haihe Zhenren and Du Pushiren at their peak, and he will be in the first echelon under Dali Jindan, second only to Yu Wentai.
Those who are strong in the late stage of foundation building like Old Man Xuanmen will be offended if they are offended, it is no big deal.
"clang!"
Duan Bingxu rang the bell, with a smile on his face, and said loudly:
"Congratulations to Box Yi Qi, for winning this top-level spiritual weapon 'Thousand-Change Glazed Qi' for the price of 236,000 spiritual stones!"
He put the Thousand-Change Glazed Qi back into the tray. As the grid moved up and down, a new black tray was lifted out.
"Next, the second final treasure will be auctioned..."
Zhang Yao no longer paid attention to the auction site, withdrew his eyes and thoughts, and waited patiently.
A moment later, a waiter in black knocked on the door of the box. After receiving the answer, he bowed and entered, holding a talisman in both hands and presented it:
"Master, this is the token of Lot 1059."
