Natural fairy species

"It turns out that the aura of Master Du's Danjie's cave is on the same level as my White Jade Tower... From this point of view, although Heishan County is barren and dangerous, it has exclusive rights to the Heishan Mountains. As long as it can develop the spiritual land, it will be far better than other sects."

Bai Zichen's expression changed. From this point of view, Montenegro was not bad.

Just like Ancestor Yang said, as long as the sect adds another Dan-Jie Daoist, it can immediately take over Tianlei Cliff and gain a third-level spiritual vein.

The Montenegro Mountains are actually a huge treasure, but they require a higher level of strength from the pioneers.

"Let me just say that the ancestor who started the sect had cultivated the five-crystal glazed body to the fourth level. He was said to be invincible in forming elixirs. He could stand up to True Monarch Nascent Soul...how could such a person decide to start a sect? I chose a mountain gate with no development prospects."

There is a no-fly formation over Zengguang Fairy City. In addition to walking, the best means of transportation is a huge ray beast.

The body is flat, with a whip-like slender tail. The wings on both sides are spread as large as a palace, and can easily stand hundreds of people.

The ray beast is huge in size, but it is only at the top level of the first level. In addition, it has a docile temperament and is easily controlled by others. It can be regarded as one of the most useful large-scale flying spirit beasts.

In nearby countries, only Zengguang Immortal City has raised thousands of them, and even the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect does not have such spiritual beasts.

After paying the transportation fee of ten spirit stones, Bai Zichen stood on the ray beast and wandered for almost an hour before arriving in Dingchou District and found the auction house.

Jin Lu went to the auction house to register for next month's auction in the name of Qingfeng Sect, and paid a deposit of ten medium-grade spiritual stones.

"Junior Brother Bai, would you like me to take you to the auction house? When the auction is not held, this place is similar to a large tourist mall... You can consign your treasures through the auction house, and they will have someone to evaluate whether they are qualified. At auction.”

Jin Lu pointed at the empty hall, which contained only a few rows of booths and a few monks stopping to evaluate them.

"If you are interested in a treasure, if it is not an auction item or belongs to the genre of the previous auction, you can directly negotiate with the seller. If it is an auction item, no matter how high the price is, you can only wait for other people to bid at the auction."

Bai Zichen glanced at it and shook his head in rejection.

Thinking about it, you all know that the treasure you need is at least at the level of a high-grade spiritual weapon. Unless the attributes are extremely poor, how can it be rejected?

"Okay, let's find a nearby cave to stay in first."

Jin Lu waved over a helper at the door of the auction, threw a low-grade spiritual stone over, and said: "Take us to the nearest rental cave, which is cost-effective... If we are satisfied, I will continue to hire you tomorrow."

The helper took the spirit stone, bowed hurriedly, and then carefully led the way.

There are many such helpers in the early stage of Qi refining in Zengguang Fairy City, and they have permanent residence rights because of their parents.

But even late-stage Qi Refining monks will have a very hard life in Zengguang Immortal City without any skills.

This kind of helper takes advantage of his familiarity in this area to provide introductions and earn some spiritual stones from monks from other places.

A second-level middle-grade cave house has three quiet rooms, a living room, and a guest room. It costs five medium-grade spiritual stones to rent for a month.

"No wonder it's so difficult to live in the Immortal City... I can't afford to live there if I don't have any wealth."

Bai Zichen looked at Jin Lu's expression and saw that the price seemed cheap enough, so he immediately took out the spirit stone from the storage bag.

But anyway, all the expenses incurred during the escort of Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum will be borne by the sect.

After living in the cave, Jin Lu hurried away on the pretext of visiting an old friend who lived in the fairy city, leaving Bai Zichen alone in the cave.

"Could it be that there is an old friend of Senior Brother Jin in the fairy city?"

Bai Zichen looked at Jin Lu's back, thinking that he had an inexplicable yearning for Zengguang Fairy City along the way, and speculated in his heart.

Without going far, one person walked around along the streets on both sides of the rented cave, but soon lost interest.

“These shops are of the same standard as Wanbao Pavilion’s Black Mountain Branch, and there are not many good products... I heard from those who helped me that the real treasures are only found in the shops in the inner city, or can only be seen at auctions, so I am so happy. "

Bai Zichen had the idea of ​​​​looking for high-grade spiritual weapons, or even top-grade spiritual weapons. Of course, he could not find anything in the shops in the outer city.

In the inner city, behind every shop represents a force that cannot be ignored.

For example, the Spiritual Beast Pavilion of Wanshoumen and the Zengguang Branch Pavilion of Wanbao Pavilion all occupy a place in the inner city.

Not only the forces of the Liang Kingdom, but also the other three countries bordering Zengguang Fairy City, the domestic Danjie forces also tried their best to obtain a small shop.

As for Nascent Soul-level forces, if they are willing to establish a presence in Zengguang Immortal City, Du will take the initiative to choose a complete Pearl Palace in the inner city as a gift as a facade for the establishment.

"The auction is approaching, and high-quality treasures have long been selected as auction items, so the quality of goods in various shops has dropped... Instead of visiting each house, it is better to wait for the auction to arrive. Each auction will be held separately. , main show, finale, three rounds, even the Golden Crown Lingzhi was only included in the main show auction.”

Bai Zichen thought for a while and decided to take action after meeting his favorite treasure at the auction.

"The final auction items in the last round are probably all third-level treasures."

In this temporarily rented cave, the spiritual energy level was only the second-level mid-level. Bai Zichen, who had usually adapted to the third-level mid-level spiritual land, tried to run his skills and immediately felt the difference.

This efficiency of slowly refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth truly reflects the speed that a three-spirit-root monk should have.

After barely running the Fire Dragon Guiyuan Sutra for one week, he gave up practicing in Zengguang Immortal City.

It is better to continue to practice the art of casting gods. At least practicing in the sea of ​​consciousness will not make any difference based on the level of spiritual energy.

…

Twenty-six days later.

In front of the auction house, monks crowded around each other, and powerful auras appeared one after another. It was inevitable that enemies from the past would meet and tense situations would arise.

But looking at the Du family monks on duty and the casual cultivators recruited by the fairy city, no one had the courage to take action in the fairy city. They could only snort and sarcastically say something to each other.

Jin Lu didn't return to the rental cave until this morning, and the two of them went to the auction house together.

Bai Zichen felt more and more that his guess might be true. It was impossible to visit an old friend for so long.

"We are in Box B, No. 37, on the second floor. Just go upstairs."

Jin Lu took out a white jade ring, which was inspected by the Du family foundation-building monk before he was allowed to go to the second floor.

Qingfengmen almost always attends the auctions in Zengguang Fairy City. In addition to the Millennium Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum, they also purchase some spiritual weapons to fill the inventory of the Refining Hall when they have enough spiritual stones.

Only then can we book a private room, otherwise we would have to squeeze in with others in the lobby on the first floor.

"This is today's auction brochure. Has it finally been released by this time..."

The two of them were led into a quiet box, and a soundproofing and consciousness-isolating formation was set up to ensure that the identity of the VIPs in the box would not be leaked.

Bai Zichen opened the manual and found that there were hundreds of items for the auction alone.

Moreover, there are many excellent ones among them.

"Our target is the second round. Junior Brother Bai can first see if there are items you like in the previous rounds, and the first round of auctions will start soon."

Jin Lu also held a manual introducing the auction items and read it with interest.

Bai Zichen knew that because of the development of the spirit stone veins and the attack on the Mo family, the sect had a lot more spirit stones in reserve.

So this time the elders gathered together and decided to temporarily reduce the reserve of spiritual stones.

The number of spiritual stones on the auction belt is several times that of the past, and we strive to bring back a few more Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum plants.

"Five hundred portions of second-grade red copper, each portion is one hundred kilograms. The starting price is one hundred spiritual stones. Fellow Taoists, please complete your bidding within a quarter of an hour."

Not long after, a loud voice came from the center of the hall and clearly reached the ears of every monk.

At the same time, a water mirror rose up in the box, and the image of the auctioned red copper was condensed on it. A pen was placed next to it, which was used to directly fill in one's own quotation.

Bai Zichen looked confused for a while. At auctions, there weren't always auctioneers who were so tongue-tied that they jumped into the mood of the audience and sold goods worth nine cents for twelve cents.

Why now, what I see is completely different from what I usually perceive.

"The Fairy City auction is different from the auctions in other places...most of the auctions are open auctions, and everyone competes for treasures. Only the first two rounds of the auction here are secret auctions, and the auctioneer is more considered. valuation level.”

Jin Lu picked up the brush and filled in the price of one hundred and ten spiritual stones.

Seemingly sensing Bai Zichen's doubts, he introduced the process of the Fairy City auction.

"For example, for this hundred catties of red copper, the starting price is one hundred spiritual stones. As long as it exceeds this price, you can bid at will. In the end, the highest bidder among all bidders will win the auction."

"Doesn't it mean that no one is interested in an auction item, and I'm the only one who bids... and just add a spiritual stone, and I can get it?"

Bai Zichen was keenly aware of this. In this case, he would not miss a single item, and would add ten spiritual stones to the low price in each round. He would always be lucky enough to hit it once.

"It's not that simple. How could the auction house leave such an obvious flaw... The seller can set a bid price, assuming that the red copper bid price is two hundred spiritual stones. As long as the lot that the seller bids for does not arrive, Even if my one hundred and ten spiritual stones are the highest price, they still have to be returned to others."

This behavior of not being able to see the opponent's bid during the auction greatly increases the mystery of the auction. It is no longer just a game of comparing who has the most spiritual stones.

The auction items at the beginning were all second-level spiritual materials, elixirs, and talismans, counted in hundreds, and they were obviously being auctioned for sects or cultivating families.

It is enough for a normal monk to buy one or two pieces. For example, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of talisman papers of the same type can be taken at one time. Only sects have that need.

"Ten bottles of second-level sword-tempering spiritual water, the starting price for each bottle is one thousand yuan!"

After a few more rounds, Bai Zichen's eyes lit up, and finally, for the first time, the auction he was interested in appeared.

Sword quenching spiritual water is used to soak the flying sword and repair the hidden damage of the flying sword, which can effectively extend the service life of the flying sword.
