Chapter Eighty-Nine: On the Eve of the Auction

For the next few days, Xia Ping stayed in the room and did not come out. It's like going back to the way I used to do research.

It's not that Xia Ping wants to continue his research again, but it's that it's really inconvenient for him to show up these days.

Little Meow is very powerful and very practical. But every time I use it, it's like going to the club to do a whole set of big health care, and the whole person is so prostrated that I can't even walk. If you go out with this appearance, your image will be completely ruined.

Fortunately, the organizer was more caring and prepared enough food in the room. So Xia Ping didn't worry about being hungry.

The only thing that made Xia Ping feel a little puzzled was that Xue Lin originally told him that after waiting for two or three days, the auction would start. But I didn't want to, so I waited for a week. What's even more surprising is that in the past week, Xue Lin has not come to him once.

It stands to reason that Xue Lin lives near him, and even if he makes a show with him, he should come to the door from time to time. What's more, with Xue Lin's previous attitude towards herself, even if it was delivered to Xia Ping, she didn't feel unusual.

Doubts are doubts, Xia Ping didn't go to check, after all, everyone has their own privacy. Maybe Xue Lin has secretly met a mysterious boyfriend or a girlfriend during this time.

Everyone has their own little secrets, and since Xue Lin doesn't say it, he doesn't plan to find out. After all, when it comes to it, you are the one with the most secrets.

Anyway, in this hotel with a Jindan powerhouse, you don't have to worry about your safety.

In this way, after a whole week, Xia Ping's door was finally knocked.

The person who came was none other than Xue Lin, who hadn't seen each other for a whole week.

When he saw Xia Ping's appearance in the house, Xue Lin was almost surprised that he didn't recognize it.

It's really a bit unbearable for Xia Ping to look like at this moment. His face was pale and bloodless, and his body was visibly thinner than a week ago, and he looked weak. This made Xue Lin couldn't help but persuade.

"Godfather, you...... Take care of yourself. Although a cultivator is physically powerful, he is not something that can be squandered at will. ”

After hearing Xue Lin's words, Xia Ping paused for a moment, and then realized that Xue Lin must have misunderstood himself.

Shaking his head helplessly and smiling, after letting Xue Lin walk in, he picked up Xiao Meow. While stroking, he whispered: "You misunderstood, it's all this little guy's ghost." ”

However, Xia Ping's action was another matter in Xue Lin's eyes.

Since she came into contact with Xia Ping, she had never seen Xia Ping show such a gentle and doting look.

Looking at the obviously unusually cute little meow, Xue Lin couldn't help but have a bold guess in her heart.

"Godfather, if you're in a hurry, I can introduce you to a clubhouse. You don't have to be a beast. ”

Xue Lin looked at Xia Ping with some trepidation, and persuaded softly. She understands that people with special interests like Xia Ping usually don't like what others say. But for the sake of her godfather's normal sexual orientation, Xue Lin felt that she had to take a risk.

Who knows, as soon as Xue Lin's words fell, Xia Ping and Xiao Meow shuddered together. Xiao Meow immediately jumped out of Xia Ping's arms, and gave Xue Lin a blank look by the way.

Xue Lin felt that she must have seen a ghost, she was despised by a cat just now. No, no, I must have seen it wrong.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem. ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward, Xia Ping had to cough dryly, gently knocked Xue Lin's head and said, "What are you thinking about all day long." Do you godfather and I have such a beast?"

Xue Lin shrank her head quietly, and didn't argue with Xia Ping, but her black and white eyes were clearly full of disbelief.

Xia Ping naturally also discovered Xue Lin's inconsistencies. I want to continue to explain, but it's better to think about it. The little meow that the purple jade evil crystal turned into was really a bit special, and Xia Ping didn't plan to tell anyone else about it for the time being. Even if he wanted to explain to Xue Lin, he couldn't come up with a valid reason.

"Where have you been these days?"

Xia Ping didn't want to dwell on this matter for too long, so he immediately changed the topic.

"Oh, I was about to talk about it. ”

It seems that Xue Lin was successfully diverted by Xia Ping. When Xia Ping mentioned this matter, Xue Lin immediately picked up the suitcase in his hand and put it on the table. Let Xia Ping have a flurry. I didn't even notice that Xue Lin had been dragging her suitcase in.

It can be seen that this box is quite weighty, and the tempered glass on the table has a trace of cracks.

"Hey, hey. Look, godfather!"

I saw Xue Lin looking at this suitcase, and he actually showed a foolish smirk. If it weren't for the confirmation that Xue Lin was just a girl, Xia Ping would probably have called the police to arrest someone.

Fortunately, Xue Lin didn't let Xia Ping guess for long, and immediately opened the suitcase. Suddenly, a dazzling brilliance accompanied by a strong aura almost blinded Xia Ping's eyes.

Now Xia Ping finally understood, the suitcase of feelings was full of spirit stones. And they are all pure quality high-grade spirit stones. If you guess correctly, these should be the spirit stones produced in Lingquan in Jiangning City within this week.

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, even if all the spiritual energy of a cave blessed land was used to produce spirit stones, it would not produce so much.

But Xia Ping is hanging. These outputs are not surprising when dark energy is forcibly extracted externally, regardless of the cost.

If it weren't for the fact that there was an auction this time, which required a large number of spirit stones, Xia Ping would not have used this method. After all, the energy consumed in this method is very large, and it is simply exchanging money for spirit stones.

For Xia Ping, who had already enjoyed the ability to obtain spirit stones at almost no cost, this method was simply not worth the loss.

Of course, even with this stupid method, as long as Xia Ping leaked a little rumor, the flood beasts from all directions could devour Xia Ping in an instant. After all, the money consumed here is not at the same level as the money spent on the black market to buy spirit stones.

It seems that Xue Lin has been gone for so long, and she has gone to personally escort the spirit stone. Xia Ping nodded in understanding, after all, the spirit stone is no better than others, and anyone will be tempted by its value. Except for their own people, it is unreliable in anyone's hands.

However, what surprised Xia Ping was not these spirit stones, but the suitcase used to hold the spirit stones.

Generally speaking, with so many spirit stones, they will definitely not be able to escape their own perception. But the actual situation was that before Xue Lin opened the box, he couldn't feel anything. There must be something wrong with this box, isolating itself from perception.

Xue Lin seemed to guess Xia Ping's thoughts, and after reclosing the box, he explained: "I delayed for so long just to ask the ancestor to carve a magic circle on the box that can isolate the aura. You know, if you don't have such a magic circle, it is easy to be remembered when you take a plane. ”

"I see. ”

Xia Ping nodded, but didn't ask in detail.

It's just a magic circle that isolates the aura. There are many similar circles in the Open Heaven Sutra. It's just that I haven't had time to study yet, so I haven't remembered it for a while.

"By the way, do you know anything specific about the postponement of the auction?"

Xia Ping didn't go out for the past few days, and only received news about the postponement of the auction. I didn't have time to find out what the specific reason was. It's just that such government-organized auctions are generally not postponed. Unless there is something particularly important.

"I know that. ”

Xia Ping should have asked Xue Lin's idea, but Xue Lin immediately replied excitedly: "If you ask others, you may not be able to ask them." However, I happen to know this reason. ”

"In fact, as for the real reason for the postponement of this auction, some of the larger forces have received advance notice. I was also looking for my ancestor to carve the magic circle, and I heard my ancestor mention it. ”

Xue Lin said as she took the juice handed over by Xia Ping and poured a whole glass directly.

It seems that Xue Lin came here non-stop after getting the spirit stone. I'm afraid I didn't even have time to go back to my room.

"The news received from Shizu is that several Arcana have been temporarily added to this auction. ”

"Arcana?"

Xia Ping raised his eyebrows slightly. Something that can be called a treasure on such a large occasion is definitely not an ordinary thing.

"Yes, it's the treasure. What exactly it is, the organizers did not mention. Just to remind the major powers that the auction will be postponed for a few days, so that they have enough time to raise resources to bid on these treasures. ”

"No wonder we don't have any news. It seems that the auctioneer does not think that small forces or individuals have enough resources to bid on these treasures. ”

Although Xia Ping is very wealthy, this is a well-known thing, and the auctioneer must have known about it for a long time. But in their eyes, he can only be regarded as a secular tyrant, and no matter how rich he is, he can't reach the level of a big power.

But anyway, he also participated on behalf of the Cangming faction. This kind of important notice actually passed directly over to himself and reached the master. This is too much to look down on yourself.

Of course, complaining is complaining. Xia Ping didn't show it directly. It's okay to know some things yourself, and there's no need to just be happy. That would make you look a little incompetent and angry.

"If I'm not mistaken, the auction should have started tonight. ”

"Tonight is just a normal auction. The auction in which the monks participated would not begin until tomorrow. ”

Xue Lin looked at Xia Pingdao with some confusion.

It stands to reason that with their status as cultivators, there is no need to care about those worldly things at all. After all, no antique calligraphy or painting can compare to a low-grade spirit stone that is attractive to them. Therefore, in ordinary auctions, monks rarely participate.

"To be honest, it's my first time at an auction, and it's such a big auction. Why don't we go over and have a look tonight, just to familiarize ourselves with the environment in advance. ”

Xia Ping deliberately found a reason to prevaricate.

I can't tell Xue Lin that Xiao Meow sensed the direction of the auction and there was something that attracted her.
