Chapter Thirty-Eight: Obstacles

"Soul Condensing Hundred Leaf Flowers, the starting price is 100,000 soul coins, and each increase must not be less than 2,000 soul coins. Sister Xiang further added.

Xu Tian felt a little strange.

The auction is about competition, only competition can bring higher returns, which Xu Tian is very clear, but the current situation, only one person is a golden token, and he is the son of the city lord, although the city lord only controls such a small city, but in this city, it is the city lord who is the largest. In that case, who will rob him?

It is absolutely impossible for the people at the auction not to be aware of this problem, which is also what Xu Tian is most puzzled about.

"One hundred and six thousand. Someone sitting in the blue seat held up a sign.

"One hundred and ten thousand. The golden token was raised.

"One hundred and eighty-eight thousand. Although Xu Tian didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd at the auction, it didn't prevent him from getting the Soul Condensing Hundred Leaf Flower. After getting the Soul Condensing Hundred Leaf Flower, Xu Tian would leave here immediately, and he was not afraid of any city lord. So Xu Tian also came to join in the fun.

"One hundred and twenty-six thousand. The same voice rang out, but it was the blue token holder who had already made a bid before.

Xu Tian couldn't help but look over there. This person also dares to rob the son of the city lord, is he just passing by?

What Xu Tian didn't know was that among the people sitting here, there were dozens of people who did not settle in the city, but there were still no people who dared to go against the son of the city lord, because it was said that the city lord was tyrannical and unusually protective, and this city was completely subjugated under his strength, and the people living in the city were basically a little unhappy, so they dared not speak out, after all, like the city lord, there are not many people who have reached the level 50 soul emperor realm, let alone this remote town.

"One hundred and forty thousand. A confident voice sounded, and it was a golden token again.

"One hundred and fifty thousand. Of course Xu Tian will not give up so easily, now he has 222,000 in his hand, for the sake of insurance, he has to keep 20,000 or 30,000 on his body, and he can't be penniless like when he first came, so the highest price Xu Tian can accept is 192,000.

The only voices left in the auction room were the voices of these three people. Others, completely reduced to spectators.

"One hundred hundred thousand!" The voice of the city lord's son was already mixed with a trace of impatience, and he even looked over Xu Tian, his eyes were full of fierceness.

"One hundred and eighty-two thousand. Xu Tian glanced at him lightly, unimpressed. Could it be that this soul condensing shutter flower belongs to your family?

The other person didn't raise the price again, and it seems that he doesn't have so much money anymore.

"One hundred hundred thousand!" This time the man shouted directly to Xu Tian's side, his tone was full of provocation, and there seemed to be a sinister smile hidden in his eyes.

"Nineteen hundred and twenty-two thousand. Xu Tian quoted his highest price.

"Two hundred thousand. The man didn't seem to care about Xu Tian anymore, and his tone was relaxed, as if he was very confident.

Xu Tian sighed secretly, he couldn't get this soul condensing hundred leaf flower.

"Two hundred thousand, one time!"

"Two hundred thousand, twice!"

Sister Xiang saw the contest between Xu Tian and the son of the city lord early, but she didn't hinder it at all, what she did in this line of work was a smell of gunpowder, as long as there was no big fight, the stronger the smell of gunpowder, the better, if it wasn't strong, how to raise the price!

"No one wants to pay more?...... Two hundred thousand, three times, deal! The Soul Condensing Hundred Leaf Flower has fallen into the hands of this golden token holder!"

There is nothing he is interested in, this auction has ended, Xu Tian plans to tidy up a little, and he is about to leave the city.

Coming to the place where the storage horcrux was identified, Xu Tian met some blue token holders again, and these people, like Xu Tian, came to collect money. If you buy something, you will pick it up in another room. Everyone still wears a mask, and there will be no mask recycling until the end of this phase.

After getting the soul coin card, Xu Tian didn't see the strange woman who called herself Sister Xiang again, presumably she had already left this small city.

Return the mask and return to the hotel, the Horned Boar King is still sleeping, after all, the auction started early, and now it's over, it's still very early, the Horned Boar King doesn't like to get up early, of course, you have to stick to your heart at any time.

Xu Tian sat on the bed and spread out a map, which was drawn with the city as the center, and the enveloping area was not large, so the marked locations were relatively detailed, and this kind of map was not difficult to find in the small stalls on the side of the road.

After a moment of silence, Xu Tian made a few marks on the map.

"Let's go here next......" Xu Tian secretly decided.

The next destination is a much larger city, which is not very far from here, so it is still out of the unrest zone. There's no way around it, it's impossible to travel a long distance directly to the safety zone, without stopping all the way in between, right?

Small places are boring after all, so Xu Tian didn't choose those nearby locations that were smaller than this city, or similar in size.

With a decision in his heart, Xu Tian woke up the Horned Boar King. The Boar King snorted a few times, and finally came to his senses.

"Let's go, there's nothing fun here, let's go to the next destination!"

One man rode a pig out of the city.

After a while, seven or eight more people left the city, but they were traveling in the same direction as Xu Tian.

……

The sun's rays are not strong, and the morning sun is even colder. Xu Tian rode the Horned Boar King through the wilderness, wrapped his clothes slightly, and used his soul power. Not far away, there are patches of farmland where some crops are grown.

The war has begun, but people still have to live. It's not the busy farming season, so there's no one in the field. If it is a critical period, hundreds of people rush to the farmland, divide labor and cooperate, harvest and sow seeds, it is not lively, and there are children playing in the fields, and laughter spreads all over the fields. Xu Tian saw this picture when he was studying at Tianchen Academy, and he also thought it was interesting in his heart at the time, but now it seems that it is a different feeling.

But at this moment, Paschia's voice sounded in his head.

"Xu Tian, be careful......"

It's just that Xu Tian's spiritual power cultivation has dropped greatly, although he has honed his own reaction in the jungle, he has never faced an opponent like this kind of concealment, and when Paschia reminds him, it is too late, Xu Tian can only turn his head, a sharp flash flashes, Xu Tian only felt that his cheeks hurt as if they were burned by fire, and at the same time, a faint smell of blood began to spread.

Xu Tian's face seemed to have been cut off by the light, and twitched slightly, but his face gradually sank.

A green grid spreads through the pupils, covering the eyes, and deep in the pupils, gold on one side and black and white on the other, faintly exuding power.

"Who?" Xu Tian asked in a deep voice.

"The reaction is not bad, and it really deserves to be the one who has survived the soul tribulation. A slightly familiar voice sounded, and a total of eight people appeared in front of Xu Tian out of thin air.

"These eight people have been following me all the time, but I haven't noticed it?" Xu Tian was slightly startled, he didn't expect that his spiritual power cultivation would have such a great impact on him.

Just like a person who could have lifted a stone weighing a thousand pounds, and his strength is suddenly reduced to the level of lifting a stone weighing 100 kilograms, the strength exerted may not be as good as those who can lift a 100-pound stone, because they are not adaptable.

Although Xu Tian's mental strength had been reduced for nearly eight months, the difficulty of mental adaptation was far from being comparable to his strength.
