Early the next morning, Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun came to Jinxi Hall, and after showing their identity tokens, the gatekeepers at the door also tested what treasure they used, and after there was no problem, they let them go in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jinxitang is very spacious, the first few days are the auction of monks in the spirit period, you can imagine the level of excitement, after all, the vast majority of people who come to participate in this trading auction are monks in the spirit period, it is said that even the qualifications to enter the auction of Jinxi Hall are sought-after goods, and the law enforcement will only be auctioned for several days in a row to meet the requirements of most people.

And the auction of the foundation building period is not so nervous, basically as long as it is detected that it is a foundation building cultivation, you can come in, because the Jinxi Hall of Nuoda is not satisfied with these foundation building period monks. But everyone knows in their hearts that although the scale of the auction on this last day is not large, the items sold are not comparable to those of the previous days, so the personnel of the original Jincheng Law Enforcement Association are extra careful today, it is said that the ban in the hall is fully open, and the three major law enforcement elders will also be present to maintain it in case of accidents.

Due to the special status of the Qiyun Sect in the original Jincheng, Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun, who was wearing a veil, were taken to a nice box and presented with a jade plaque with the word "Sixteen" written on it, indicating that they were the sixteenth participant. There are still a few boxes that the Qiyun Sect can occupy here, and the senior brother surnamed Tang will also have one on the side, and there are two or three other places for the Qiyun Sect's foundation building period monks who also came to participate in the auction, including Tan Ming.

However, not long after entering the Jinxi Hall, on the way to the box, Yu Ting felt a powerful divine sense probing them, and he felt that this person was at least a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. Although this kind of behavior among the monks was very ordinary, especially the detection of the low-level monks by the high-level monks, Yu Ting still felt unhappy, under normal circumstances, it didn't matter if he just swept it in a hurry, but it was obvious that this divine sense had stopped on the two of them for a long time, and it seemed that it mainly stopped on Qin Xueyun. Yu Ting felt a burst of anger in his heart, so he followed this divine sense to probe back, and the result was also from a private room, because of the prohibition, he couldn't see who the other party was.

Forget it, let's urge Qin Xuewan to enter the box early. Although she was wearing a silver ink veil, it was still possible for some monks with strong spiritual power to be seen in the foundation building period, at least if she increased her divine sense, she could also see her beautiful face.

Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun had already agreed that both of them would return to normal today, and yesterday's incident had already happened, so let it pass. After sitting in this box, the two of them were somewhat worried that the people in the sect would hear what they were talking about, so they kept communicating with each other through transmission.

Of course, the few fellow disciples present knew Yu Ting's current status in the sect, as for why Qin Xueqian was also sitting in a box with Yu Ting, they would be a little curious, but they wouldn't care. Moreover, although Qin Xueyun is cold to all men, it does not mean that he is also cold to Yu Ting, the most dazzling disciple of the sect. Besides, they also heard that it was Qin Xueqi who brought Yuting into the Qiyun Mountain Gate back then, and it was normal for them to have a good relationship.

After another half hour, there were already almost hundreds of foundation building monks sitting in the Jinxi Hall.

"Bell", "bell", "bell", a few crisp gongs sounded, and Jinxitang quickly quieted down, and everyone knew that the auction was about to start.

Yu Ting looked up and saw that a thin old man had already walked to the auction table in front of him, and it was he who was striking a gong on the stage.

Seeing that the lobby was quiet, the old man cleared his throat and opened his mouth with a smile: "Although many of you know the old man, there are still many new friends who come to participate in our auction in Jinxi City. So the old man will introduce himself first, my surname is Han Dongsheng, and he is the second shopkeeper of Fu Xinzhai, the largest local store, and is mainly responsible for identifying various materials and treasures. Although Han only has the cultivation in the early stage of foundation building, he has been engaged in this kind of thing for nearly a hundred years, so he is familiar with all kinds of materials and various treasures, especially spiritual weapons and magic weapons, I dare to say that it is difficult to find the second place in this Jinxi City. “

For the monks sitting in the box, Yu Ting couldn't see their expressions, but many of the dozens of people sitting in the audience were nodding, it seemed that this old man named Han Dongsheng was indeed a very famous figure in this city.

"I won't say much about the rules of the auction, it is still the highest bidder who wins the treasure, and I will strike the gong three times here for the final ownership of the treasure. Han Dongsheng continued: "In addition, let the old man say the ugly things in the front, because the treasures involved in this auction are extremely valuable, so the law enforcement of this city attaches great importance to it, needless to say, the prohibition of this Jinxi Hall is difficult to break even if it is a few powerhouses of the True Dan Period; Therefore, all of you here, please do not have bad intentions, so as not to make both people and money empty. “

Han Dongsheng stopped, looked around, and asked, "Do you still have any questions?" If not, I will start the auction of the first treasure." ”

"We can't wait for a long time, Old Han, you're too long-winded, let's start quickly. A middle-aged monk with a stubble on his face shouted below, obviously an anxious man, and he seemed to be familiar with Han Lao.

"It turned out to be a friend of the Daoists. Han Lao nodded to the stubble man surnamed Feng in the audience, and then said, "The old man is indeed a little nagging. Okay, let's start the auction of the first treasure. After speaking, he clapped his hands, and walked up from the side a disciple dressed in the costume of the former Jincheng Law Enforcement Association, holding a jade plate with a brocade cloth covering it with something.

"This is the first thing. Han Lao waved to this disciple, and the disciple holding the jade plate unveiled the brocade cloth, revealing several array flags and a pair of jade slips.

"It's a set of formations, including this set of formation instruments and a classic. Han Lao nodded and continued: "It is estimated that some of the Daoists present here may already know about this formation, it is the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array. This formation is very famous, because it has changed hands many times, and now the owner of the formation has decided to take it out and sell it again. “

There was a whispering below, and many people were nodding their heads. It seems that as Han Lao said, many people know the history of this formation.

Yu Ting's heart was shocked, the formation, of course he was very interested, but it seemed that this formation was still quite strange, just waiting for Han Lao to continue to introduce it.

"If this set of formations is well refined and arranged, it will be a set of treasures of astonishing value. Han Lao continued: "Because it can more effectively help the monk absorb spiritual power and transform it into his own true qi, and increase the growth rate of cultivation, this is a rare treasure. But as said, if it is really so simple that we can quickly increase our cultivation, then our cultivation realm will be full of true pills, and even old monsters in the soul condensation period. I don't know how long ago this set of formations was refined by a master, but it has not been effective, and then it has changed hands several times and improved many times, but it still can't achieve the expected effect, or it is still useless. This jade slip is also the experience of many owners of refining and arranging this set of formations for so long. “

Han Lao paused again, and then said loudly: "The reason why it was put in the first auction is because it is a bit special and its reputation is not small, so that you know that the strength of our Jinxi Hall is extraordinary in this vicinity. Okay, so I won't talk nonsense, let's start the auction of this special treasure, and we will only take a special auction method for this one. What the owner of this treasure is willing to tell you is that he obtained it at the price of 120,000 spirit stones, so he is willing to start bidding with 150,000 spirit stones. If no one offers this price, the price will be reduced by 10,000 at a time, until 100,000 spirit stones. That is to say, in the end, if no one is willing to buy it for 100,000 spirit stones, it will be a lost auction. “

"Hum!" was another buzz in the audience, but it was clear that most people were not interested. Because they all know their own weight, firstly, the price is not low, some people do not have so many spirit stones, and secondly, there are so many things that high-ranking people have not figured out, and it not only costs them spirit stones to take them themselves, but also may take a lot of time, and the possibility of ineffectiveness in the end is too great.

It is estimated that the only person who is excited is Yu Ting. Now that it is difficult to grow in cultivation, isn't this formation just a charcoal in the snow? Moreover, I am so interested in the formation method, I have a feeling, and I still have a lot of time to study. As for the price, it's a bit expensive, but I still have more than 400,000 spirit stones on my body, and the so-called rich is full of energy.

Yu Ting was suddenly excited, and his body looked like he was about to stand up. Qin Xueyun next to her was also stunned when she saw this, she didn't know very well the ability of the Yu Ting's formation method, so she was a little puzzled why Yu Ting was so excited.

"Senior Brother Yu," Qin Xuewan tugged at Yu Ting, and said, "Are you very interested in this Elemental Spirit Gathering Array, but it is very expensive, and it is basically useless. ”

"I know, I know. Yu Ting was nervous, he didn't turn his head to look at Qin Xueyun, he just stared at the thing on the plate, and said again and again: "I have to get it, I have to!"

"Oh, don't worry. Qin Xueyun didn't understand why Yu Ting was so urgent, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction with his words without looking at him, and still persuaded: "I don't think anyone will bid for this treasure, you wait first, don't bid first." She knew that Yu Ting had a lot of spirit stones on her body, but she couldn't be too defeated.

"Yes, thank you Senior Sister Qin for reminding me. Yu Ting immediately understood the peculiarity of this first treasure auction and sat down.

He really wanted to hold Qin Xueyun's hand to show his gratitude, of course, he mainly thought about the soft feeling of Senior Sister Qin's jade hand, but he still held back, and the agreement was still to be executed.

Seeing that he wanted to move and stopped, Qin Xuewan only sighed silently in his heart, and didn't say anything more.

"Okay, then let's start, the starting price is 150,000 spirit stones!" Han Dongsheng saw that everyone had no opinions, so he opened his mouth and shouted.

There was silence.

Everyone expressed their attitude with silence, this thing will deceive people nine times out of ten, and it will not cost such a huge amount of money to just buy it and put it aside.

"Fourteen thousand spirit stones!" Han Lao estimated this kind of scene, and shouted out the next price after nearly half a cup of tea.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"I want it, I want it!" Yu Ting couldn't hold it back, and immediately shouted, and tapped the auction jade plate in his hand a few times, for fear that it would not work.

"Oh!?" Han Lao was overjoyed when he heard this, looked at the other auction jade plate on the table, and immediately shouted: "The sixteenth bid is 110,000 yuan, the first time! ”

There was silence.

"The sixteenth bid 110,000, the second time!"

There was still silence.

"The sixteenth bid is 110,000 yuan, and the third time is sold!"

Yu Ting finally waited for the victory, and the sweat on his forehead overflowed a lot. When the spirit stone was delivered, he was still trembling a little when he held this set of formations and jade slips in his hands. This is at least hopeful, otherwise wouldn't I never be able to advance again?

Qin Xuewan was also puzzled when she saw Yu Ting so excited, but she didn't ask. Just took out a pair of brocade handkerchiefs, helped him wipe his sweat, and pulled him to continue to sit down.

The auction continued, but he didn't have much thought about some of the treasures in the back, and now he began to comprehend this jade slip about the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array.

"Senior Brother Yu, look at what is being auctioned now. Qin Xueyun reminded on the side.

When he was thinking about the contents of the jade slip with great interest, when he heard Qin Xueyun's voice, he immediately realized that he was still participating in the auction, and he still had to pay attention to it, especially the sword blank that Senior Sister Qin wanted to get.

"No. 4 bid 75,000 spirit stones, for the first time!" Han Lao shouted.

Yu Ting didn't pay attention to Han Lao's introduction to the treasure being auctioned, but just glanced at the thing in the jade plate in the hand of a disciple standing beside him, a thumb-sized stone, this is. ？

"A piece of medium-grade Sumeru stone, junior brother. Qin Xueqi saw that Yu Ting was stunned, so she explained to him on the side.

"No. 4 bid 75,000 spirit stones, the second time!" Han Lao shouted again.

"What!?" As soon as Yu Ting heard this, he knew what this meant, and hurriedly picked up the auction jade plate and ordered it.

"No. 4 bid seventy-five thousand spirit stones, the first. As soon as Han Lao shouted here, he saw the auction jade plate on the table light up, so he changed his words and said, "The sixteenth bid for 76,000 spirit stones, the first time!"

Since then, no bidders, including No. 4, have made any bids, and this medium-grade Sumeru stone has also become the bag of Yuting.

Holding this thumb-sized medium-grade Sumeru stone in his hand, Yu Ting suddenly had a familiar feeling, obviously transmitted from this stone, which was somewhat similar to the induction of the Nahuang Essence Stone and the Storage Ring, but it was more intense. It seems that he does have a special reaction to the materials of the spatial attributes, which is also a manifestation of his special ability in formation.

After a while, someone from the box not far from him came to him and sent him a message that made him embarrassed and depressed: the fourth participant was Senior Brother Tang. It turned out that Senior Brother Tang was also in order to take into account the needs of Yu Ting, and seeing that he had not made a bid to buy this medium-grade Sumeru stone, he thought that his spirit stone was not enough, so he wanted to help him take it first. As a result, Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun, who participated in the auction for the first time, didn't notice Senior Brother Tang's auction number after they came, and Yu Ting had been participating in the Jade Jian, so it caused this oolong. But fortunately, he only added a thousand spirit stones, otherwise he would definitely become a joke when he returned to the sect.

Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.

"Senior Brother Yu, are you blaming me, I shouldn't have reminded you. Qin Xueyun asked a little embarrassed.

"No, no. Yu Ting hurriedly said: "You reminded me right, so that I don't have to owe the sect a favor, and besides, it's just a thousand more spirit stones." ”

"Well, that's good. Qin Xuewan was relieved.

Next, Yu Ting no longer went to the Elemental Spirit Gathering Array, and paid attention to the auction wholeheartedly.

One by one, the treasures were taken away, and Yu Ting also had a harvest again, that is, he spent thousands of spirit stones to shoot a pair of small earrings, saying that it could play a little calming role. After getting this pair of small earrings, Yu Ting didn't dare to look at them and immediately put them away, and Qin Xueyun on the side also pretended not to see it, but the taste in his heart was a little uncomfortable.

Some other things, Yu Ting and Qin Xueqian were not interested, especially those pills, some monks fought for their heads, and Yu Ting knew his own situation and ignored them all, while Qin Xueqian only cared about the sword blank, and other things were also indifferent.

However, it gave Yu Ting a direct understanding of the value of some pills.

For example, Tsukidan, three of which were sold at auction. At first, Yu Ting was still a little puzzled, this Zhuji Dan was used by the disciples of the Spirit Movement Period, and it stands to reason that it should be auctioned at the auction dedicated to the Spirit Stage monks a few days ago, how could it be placed at the auction of the Foundation Building Period monks? But after a while, he understood that ordinary Spirit Stage monks could not afford it at all, and the cheapest one was also sold for 35,000 spirit stones. When he was still in the spirit stage of Qiyun Sect, he knew that even a disciple in the late stage of spirit could only receive no more than five or six hundred spirit stones a year, and it was basically a dream to buy Zhuji Dan. In the Zhuji Dan auction, even Senior Brother Tang in the No. 4 box may have seen that the price was lower at first, and he offered it, obviously for the sake of the sect's reserves, so those who bought Zhuji Dan here were all for his disciples or descendants. The price of Zhuji Dan is not low, it can be seen that he was still very helpful to Senior Sister Qin back then. I still have a Tsukidan on my body, should I sell it too? Yu Ting thought about it, and decided to put it first, in case Lan Mei wants to use it, of course I hope she had better not need it.

It wasn't until the end of the afternoon auction that they finally got the treasures they needed.

"A pair of Xishuang sword blanks, the price is 30,000. Han Dongsheng pointed to a small sword with ice in the jade plate and shouted: "This sword blank is of excellent quality, and it is very promising to be refined into a medium-grade spirit weapon flying sword, which is an excellent weapon for water attribute sword cultivation, especially ice attribute sword cultivation." Because the refining power is not high, the owner does not dare to continue refining, so he simply puts it up for auction. In addition, the owner also promised that if the transaction price was more than 100,000 yuan, he would provide two sets of materials and refining experience for the finished product. ”

"You know, if it's a finished product, especially if it's a mid-grade Frost Flying Sword, the price is just. . . Han Lao hinted, apparently to get everyone to participate.

There was another round of discussion in the audience. At this moment, Yu Ting and Qin Xueyun in the box also became nervous, and Qin Xuewan stood up even more, staring at the little sword with motionless eyes.

"Okay, let's start the auction now, the reserve price is 30,000 spirit stones, and the price increase must not be less than 1,000 each time. Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Han Lao shouted to start.

"Thirty thousand spirit stones. Someone in the audience immediately shouted.
