Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Great Forces Compete in Secret
On the second day, Qingzhou City was shrouded in dark clouds of low pressure, and it began to drizzle early.
On the dripping bluestone streets, there are occasional pedestrians, all of whom are speeding in the direction of Wangxian Tower.
At this time, the entrance of Wangxian Tower is completely different from the desertion on other streets, and there are already people lined up wearing clothes or holding oil umbrellas.
They are all relatively low in Qingzhou, and even more ordinary people. At this time, of course, he is not qualified to enter the Wangxian Tower, and he is on a par with those powerful sects.
But the appearance of a ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill still gathered them here.
Even if they can't even squeeze in the threshold of Wangxian Tower, even if it rains, even if they don't have a chance to bid, even if they don't even have a chance to look at it, just on the spot, they won't live in vain today.
Just queuing up like this is obviously not people's hobby, and when you meet acquaintances, you will inevitably have a few words.
"Why didn't you see the people of the three sects in the north of the city?"
"You don't know yet, yesterday the people of Tianji Pavilion found out that they were colluding with the traitorous party, and they have already been wiped out. ”
"What kind of collusion and rebellion against the party is just an excuse, they smashed Wangxian Tower. "Wangxian Lou diagonally opposite the tofu seller inserted into the chat.
Although he set up his stall yesterday far away, he couldn't hear what the people in Wangxian Tower said.
But he can make up for it!
"No wonder, daring to make trouble in Wangxian Tower is a dead end, let alone smashing the entire first floor of Wangxian Tower!"
The shopkeeper of the wine shop directly opposite Wangxian Tower also appeared at this time, but the others seemed very mysterious, and lowered their voices, only the four of them could hear them.
"It's true that they are making trouble in Wangxian Tower, but do you know why they are making trouble in Wangxian Tower?"
"That's right, Wangxian Tower has been established for nearly a hundred years, and no one dares to make trouble in it, just ask who in Qingzhou City doesn't know, why do their three sects dare?"
"Because someone from the Shen family has appeared!" the shopkeeper said one last word, and then said no more.
Yesterday, Xuan Tianyu used the power of Tianji Pavilion to seal the news, if he said more, it would be difficult to say whether he would be targeted by Tianji Pavilion.
Even if he didn't say much, the other three immediately understood, and in the place of their gossip in horror, they shut up and stopped discussing it.
The scene in Wangxian Tower is much more orderly than at the door.
Representatives of more than 20 sects in Qingzhou gathered on the third floor.
On the third floor of Wangxian Building, there is no guest room and eight immortal tables, only due north, there is a wooden platform that is half a zhang high, horizontal and vertical three zhang. This is the exclusive venue for the annual Treasure Appreciation Conference.
Unexpectedly, this year's treasure appreciation conference has not yet started, but it was used in advance.
Beyond the wooden platform, there are representatives of various sects.
"When I arrived soon, Xuanyue Sect was still as big as ever. The middle-aged man standing at the front was a little unhappy in his tone.
To be able to say such a thing in this kind of scene, you don't need to look at it to know that it is either the Yaoyun Sect or one of the two great families of Lingliang.
"Elder Yao can't wait to go first. Ling Yunzhi looked at the person who spoke on his side and said with a smile.
"Doesn't your Ling family have their own alchemist, is it necessary to come on this occasion?" Liang Tianlin said in a strange manner.
They were in the first row, and everyone else could hear what they were saying, but they didn't care.
The top forces in Qingzhou City sarcastically ridiculed each other, they were really not qualified to participate, and they were not even qualified to stand in line. If you accidentally don't stand on the right side, you will usher in a catastrophe.
This has happened before.
And they also knew that today's prefecture-level Gathering Spirit Pill, they would at most have seen it, and it was unlikely that they would have the opportunity to compete with the four top forces.
The four major forces, relying on the spiritual sand at the bottom of Wangxian Lake, have accumulated wealth far beyond their imagination.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been waiting a long time. Xuan Qing finally squeezed out of the crowd with a smile.
"Soon, it's only two hours!" Liang Tianlin still said in that yin and yang tone.
"Senior Liang really likes to laugh. Xuan Qing smiled, didn't care, and went straight to the wooden platform.
He stood on the stage, just about to say something more, but was interrupted.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is not a treasure appraisal conference, everyone knows the efficacy of the ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill!" Ling Yunzhi said impatiently.
"Okay, then I won't delay everyone's time. Xuan Qing smiled heartily. His heart was not disturbed in the slightest by the words of Liang Tianlin and Ling Yunzhi.
These two people are both people who have a lot of weight in the Liang family and the Ling family, and in terms of seniority, they are the same generation as his father Xuanyao, and it is reasonable not to give him a good face.
Best of all, his plans can start right away.
After today, everyone in Qingzhou City knows that he has surpassed Xuan Tianyu!
Xuan Qing smiled, took out a wooden box from his arms, opened it, and on the purple lining inside, there was a golden pill, which was exuding a trace of gold under the purple background.
Sure enough, it is a ground-level spirit pill, looking at the color, it definitely belongs to the top grade, and among the top grades, it is also an outstanding existence!
Ling Yunzhi himself is also an alchemist, he knows more than others, and he can tell the grade at a glance.
At this moment, he was deeply attracted by the Gathering Spirit Pill.
Ever since the Heartless Medicine King disappeared from the Medicine King Valley, the world's top pills have almost disappeared.
Their Ling family, although they have inherited the alchemy technique of the Heartless Medicine King, but the inheritance is incomplete, resulting in a low level of elixir refined, at most it is only a Xuan level.
Although their Ling family relied on a large number of pills and had a place in Qingzhou City, they all dreamed of refining a high-grade pill of their own.
This ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill may not be able to improve their Ling family's cultivation too much, but it will definitely allow them to make new progress in refining medicine.
Therefore, this Gathering Spirit Pill, their Ling family is bound to get it.
Ling Yunzhi looked at the Gathering Spirit Pill in a daze, not only Xuan Qing on the stage could see it, but also Ling Xiaofeng who came in with his three younger brothers and relied on his identity.
Looking at Ling Yunzhi's expression, Ling Xiaofeng secretly gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.
He could only stare at the three people around him fiercely.
Three days ago, he probably already understood the process, it was these three wastes, drinking and mishapting!
Although he knew why Shen Feixue didn't come to him again, in his heart, he was still extremely ashamed of Shen Feixue's dishonesty.
Even if someone comes and robs you, you shouldn't release pigeons, scum!
The more Ling Xiaofeng thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but want to slap the three of them again and vent it fiercely.
"Then let's start next, at the request of the employer, this time the bidding method of the yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pill and the Demon Beast Inner Dan will be adopted, and the Demon Beast Inner Dan will be determined by the number regardless of the level. ”
"The reserve price is one hundred yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, three Demon Beast Inner Pills, and each increase in price shall not be less than five Gathering Spirit Pills and one Demon Beast Inner Pill. ”
"Let's go!"
After Xuan Qing finished talking about the rules, he didn't say more, took the ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill, and stood quietly on the stage.
But the audience exploded.
One hundred yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, three Demon Beast Inner Pills, or no matter the class!
This condition is not very high for those above the perception realm who have the ability to kill demon beasts that have already produced inner pills.
You must know that in the sixteen states of the Zhaoyong Dynasty, except for Ying Tianzhou, which place is not full of demon beasts. To say that it is an exaggeration, out of the town, bad luck, three steps to meet a demon beast, it is very possible.
Therefore, the demon beast Neidan, for these forces, has some inventory.
At this time, even the sects that had no hope for the ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill at the beginning began to be eager to try.
Finally, someone started bidding.
"One hundred and five yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, five Demon Beast Inner Pills!"
"Yaoyun Sect bid one hundred and five yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills and five Demon Beast Inner Pills. Xuan Qing on the stage began to repeat.
"One hundred and ten, six demon beast inner pills!"
......
Each time the bid was made, Xuan Qing repeated it on stage.
The price is slowly rising, and everyone has expectations, but only one person.
Shen Feixue leaned against the pillar in the corner, clasping her hands, looking leisurely, but her face was a little unhappy.
Now one hundred and seventy yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, plus seventeen Demon Beast Inner Pills, were far from his expectations.
The auction has already begun to work on a stick of incense, and it will take a lot of time if it is to rise to his expectations.
He didn't know if this was the rule of Wangxian Tower, and he had to take his time from the bottom up, but he didn't want to waste time.
Moreover, it is very likely that this is intentional by Wangxian Tower!
Shen Feixue had thought about it this way, after all, yesterday, when he faced Xuan Yao, he was too strong.
But he couldn't figure it out, the higher the bidding, the higher their Wangxian Tower's score achievement.
Why is it so stupid to set the low price so low?
As the old saying goes, long dreams at night are not just casual talk, just add it like this, what if something happens halfway?
Changes!
Xuan Qing is waiting for this change!
It is better to say that he is creating this change.
Of course, he knew that Shen Feixue was also among them, and this low price was specially set by him.
He wasn't targeting Shen Feixue, but Shen Feixue just appeared, and he happened to have a ground-level Gathering Spirit Pill, and he happened to hand it over to their Wangxian Tower to bid for it, which undoubtedly gave him an excellent opportunity.
A chance to prove to Xuanyue Sect that it was the wrong opportunity to choose Xuan Tianyu to enter Tianji Pavilion in the first place!
It is also an opportunity to prove to everyone in Qingzhou that he is stronger than Xuan Tianyu!
"The Ling family bid five hundred and seventy yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, plus thirty Demon Beast Inner Pills. ”
"It is worthy of the Ling family, and it is a big deal as soon as it makes a move. The people around him were a little shocked, Ling Zhiyun, who had never asked for a price, would eliminate many sects with a single price increase.
"Five hundred and seventy-five yellow-level Gathering Spirit Pills, plus thirty-one Demon Beast Inner Pills. Liang Tianlin quoted.
"Brother Liang is a little unauthentic, so the price is increased. Yao Biancheng looked at Liang Tianlin with a smile and slowly raised his hand, "You have to add like me, five hundred and eighty ground-level Gathering Spirit Pills, plus thirty-three Demon Beast Inner Pills." ”
After speaking, he turned his head sideways, pretending to look at Liang Tianlin on the left, but in fact, his eyes were on Ling Zhiyun in the middle.
It just so happened that Liang Tianlin also turned his head sideways at this time, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
For them, the Earth-level Gathering Spirit Pill may only be a cultivation, but for Ling Zhiyun in the middle, and the Ling family behind it, it is a completely different concept.
It is difficult to say whether the Ling family will make leaps and bounds in refining medicine because of this, and thus surpass the two of them in terms of strength.
No matter what, they won't take that risk.
