On such a lively day in Xiaohu City, Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop naturally opened its store early and hung a sign outside the door to reward guests. Not only was the price greatly reduced, but the original limited quantity of spiritual incense was also doubled, but Even so, before noon arrived, all the limited-purchase incense products were sold out. However, there was still an endless stream of customers coming here. Hu Tu and Mu Yang were busy for a long time. It was not until early noon that the number of customers in the store gradually became rare, and they had some opportunities to take stock and rest.
Hu Tu sent a customer out of the store, turned around and saw that there were not many other customers, and he didn't need to greet him for the time being, so he simply leaned against the door of the store and took a rest. He looked at the lively scene on the street and the guests coming and going, and couldn't help but feel a little more envious in his eyes. What, you want to go out for a walk too? Suddenly, Yuan Ming's voice reached Hu Tu's ears, startling him. I dare not ignore it when the store is busy. Hu Tu waved his hands quickly.
Haha, you have been busy and worked very hard on weekdays. Now that there is a big event in the city, it is time for you to have a holiday. In this way, in the past two days, every afternoon, you and Mu Yang will take turns on duty, leaving only one person in the store. This I will also send you the monthly payment in advance, so you can buy whatever you want. Yuan Ming said. Hu Tu was overjoyed and quickly thanked him, but then he put on a worried look and whispered: Boss, I heard from recent customers who came to the store that Changchun Temple seems to have sent Elder Jie Dan to hunt down Pu Zhengqing.
In the past few years, he had to receive monks in the shop, and he heard about the enmity between Yuan Ming and Changchun Temple. Now that the Changchun Guanjie Dan monk came to Xiaohu City, he couldn't help but feel worried about Yuan Ming. You don't have to worry about this. No one in the city knows that I am the boss behind Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop, and Changchun Watch will not be able to find out about you. Yuan Ming said. Boss, you misunderstood, I am worried about your safety. Hu Tu quickly expressed his loyalty. He is where he is today, and even on the path to immortality, all thanks to Yuan Ming's help. Only if Yuan Ming is good can he be good. I know well that if you can manage the store well, it will be a great help. Yuan Ming nodded. He gave Hu Tu a few more words, then turned and left the store.
The Tianxiang Auction is a grand event held every three years, attracting a large number of monks to attend whenever it is held. But not everyone can buy what they want at auction. After going back and forth, other shops in the city saw the business opportunities and started to advertise discounts at this time. Those participants who could not find what they wanted could not help but buy one or two when they saw this situation. Nowadays, even some monks who do not have invitations to the Tianxiang Auction will come to the city during the auction just to catch up with this rare discount ceremony.
Yuan Ming shuttled among the crowds and soon stepped onto the trestle of the lake in the city and arrived at the White Jade Square in the center of the lake. The pool in the center of the square was as bright as before. Yuan Ming looked up for a moment and then walked over. In front of the high-rise building, two monks wearing bodyguard uniforms guarded the door, one on the left and one on the right. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy on their bodies, they were in the early stages of foundation building. Yuan Ming went to them, took out the invitation from his arms and handed it over, but the guards did not check it, but simply moved out of the way. Fellow Taoist, please come in. Before the auction officially begins, in addition to the main auction venue, you can browse at will in the building. If you need help or have any questions, you can consult other guards patrolling the building.
Hearing the reminder from the foundation guard, Yuan Ming put away the invitation, nodded, walked through the gate and walked into the tall building. His field of vision instantly broadened, and he saw an extremely huge hall. A giant pillar stood in the center of the hall and was connected to the roof. Dozens of suspended walkways extend from the pillars of the building, connecting it to different floors. Standing at the door and looking up, it is like a huge ancient tree without leaves, supporting the entire building with its own branches. Then, Yuan Ming glanced around and saw that in addition to the giant pillars on the first floor, there were some neatly arranged wooden stalls. Some of them already had owners and were selling things, while some were still empty.
He stopped a passing guard and after some questioning, he learned that the first floor was a place specially opened for monks in need to set up their own stalls. However, there was no need for monks to sell at the stalls themselves. Tianxiang Auction arranged for someone to do the sales on their behalf. , if it is lost or otherwise, the monk will be compensated for the full price. Yuan Ming walked around among the stalls and found that the goods sold here were of mixed quality, and most of the stalls were mainly for purchase. He quickly lost interest and walked towards the giant pillar. It wasn't until he got closer that he discovered that there were many small doors at the bottom of the building pillars, and inside were installed the spiritual ladders he had seen in the teahouse. The spiritual stones were installed in the formations painted on the walls, and the walls were also decorated with spiritual stones. There are numbers indicating the floors.
Yuan Ming walked into the spiritual ladder and pressed the spiritual stone with the number two written on it. Soon, the spiritual ladder slowly rose up among the giant pillars, bringing him to the suspended plank road connecting the second floor. It was only then that Yuan Ming discovered that except for the first floor, the other floors seemed to be in a circular structure. You could either use spiritual ladders to get to each other, or you could choose to take the suspended plank road. Different from the first floor, the second floor is lined with large exhibition booths one after another along the walls. The decoration styles are also different, and they seem to have a strong regional and sect flavor. Located on Yuan Ming's left hand side is a booth with the theme of flowers and green leaves. Green vines cover every corner of the platform, and on the wall, pink flowers the size of a human head are in full bloom, with their stamens covered with There is a round glass shield, and a variety of elixirs that emit a faint light are hung in the shield, which looks quite novel.
Yuan Ming walked over curiously, only to find that this place belonged to the Shengye Sect. There were many Shengye Sect disciples in the booth, and Luo Xing'er was among them. At this time, she was not wearing the clothes of a disciple of Shengye Sect, but a carefully tailored long green skirt. The hem of the skirt was fluffy like lotus leaves in the pond. A gauze ribbon was tied around her slender waist, and there was another piece. The end of the jade-white ribbon hangs down, half-covered and half-leaked between the hem of the skirt, like a boat in a lotus pond. When Luo Xing'er heard the sound of someone approaching, she immediately raised her head and saw that it was Yuan Ming. A look of joy appeared on her face, and she trotted over and got close to Yuan Ming.
Table... It turns out to be Senior Ha Gong, are you also here to participate in the Tianxiang auction? Yuan Ming nodded and looked around the booth: I happened to have an invitation in my hand, so I came over to take a look. What are you selling at the booth here? These are the elixirs that the masters and uncles in the sect have derived from ancient prescriptions. If Senior Ha Gong is interested, let me introduce them to you. Luo Xinger said this. Yuan Ming was just about to refuse, but suddenly he heard someone behind him ask. Are you Hagon? He turned around and saw a kind old man standing behind him, with white hair and white beard, smiling cheerfully, and even his eyes were narrowed into lines. Behind the old man, there were four other foundation-building monks, all wearing the same clothes. Yuan Ming even had the impression that some of them were the Changchun Temple monks he saw in the casual retreat when he met Lu Shen.
Luo Xing'er also recognized the identities of these people, and her whole body suddenly froze, and the hand holding Yuan Ming's arm began to squeeze nervously. Yuan Ming smiled, patted the back of Luo Xing'er's hand, pulled out his arm and gave her a reassuring look, then raised his hand and asked. This is Ha Gong. May I ask who the senior is? The old man's cultivation had reached the level of elixir formation. When he heard Yuan Ming's question, he responded with a smile. I, Zuo Qinghui, the elder of Changchun Temple, came this time to eradicate the evil soul cultivator Pu Zhengqing. Several disciples of our sect here have mentioned your name to me early on, and they wanted to contact you through Shengye Sect. I didn't expect to meet him here. Senior Zuo is too polite. I wonder why senior is looking for me? Yuan Ming asked. It's not a big deal, I just wanted to ask about the details of your fight with Pu Zhengqing. But now I have met my little friend. He is much younger than I thought. He can also defeat the strong with the weak in the early stage of foundation building. Such a talent, as a casual player. It's a pity to repair, I wonder if you are willing to join me in Changchun Temple to eradicate Pu Zhengqing together? Zuo Qinghui said.
I am honored by the great love of my seniors, but I am used to being undisciplined and do not want to join the sect for the time being. Please forgive me, seniors. Yuan Ming said. As soon as these words came out, before Zuo Qinghui said anything, someone behind him immediately showed an angry look. Ha Gong, please think clearly. How many people want to enter our Changchun Temple, but even if they ask, there is no way. If you refuse today, don’t regret it. Yuan Ming was unmoved at all. He didn't even look at that person, his eyes still stayed on Zuo Qinghui. However, unlike the disciple behind him, Zuo Qinghui was not angry at all and was still smiling.
You may think that as a casual cultivator, you will be ostracized if you join the sect. You don’t have to worry about this. I invite you to join the sect not only to recruit talents, but also to take a fancy to you. He has great talent and wants to find himself a close disciple. As long as you agree, you will be my disciple Zuo Qinghui from now on, and no one in the sect will dare to cause trouble for you.
Hearing Zuo Qinghui's words, the disciples behind him were surprised. The other Shengye Sect disciples who were watching nearby were also amazed and envious. However, Yuan Ming's attitude is still firm: I already have a master, so I can't change my family for the time being, and I ask my seniors to forgive me. At this time, even the smile on Zuo Qinghui's face faded a little, and the Changchun Temple disciples behind him were even more angry. The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thanks
Some people died, but not completely...
