Chapter 9: Spiritual Practice (2)

It was getting late, the night sky was full of stars in the summer, and a bright moon shone on the earth.

On a big rock, Shi Xiao looked at such a starry sky. Shi Xiao is thinking about the problem in his head now, there are too many things that have happened in the past two days. I'm fine, but there is still a Lin'er, even if I stay at Brother Long's side, what if it's okay for a short time. I have to be strong enough, and I have to give a good explanation to the dead old man.

Thinking about it, Shi Xiao fell asleep. After all, so many things are pressed on one person at once, who can stand it. Shi Xiao hadn't slept well in the past two days, and now he temporarily taught Lin'er to Brother Long, which can be regarded as a relief for himself. The next step is to comprehensively improve your cultivation. For Lin'er, but also for herself.

......

In the early morning of summer, there was still a hint of coolness, and Shi Xiao was woken up by this coolness. Shi Xiao went to the river to wash up, after all, he still had to sell his scrolls next, so he still needed to tidy himself up. Shi Xiao put on the black robe and put on a black gauze hat and walked towards Sunset City.

"Check!" said the guard. Because there was a grand event in Falling Sun City this time, and the Jin family made such a big disturbance, the patrol strength of the entire Falling Sun City doubled. Shi Xiao had no choice but to be examined, took off the hood, revealing a delicate face, and looked closely at Shi Xiao's eyes that had turned amber.

"Next!" the guard urged, seeing that nothing was unusual.

Shi Xiao put on his hood and walked towards the city. Really the sooner the big event is held, the more lively it is. Shi Xiao came to the shop that sold scroll base paper.

"This lord, so early. What do you need?" the shopkeeper hadn't recognized the customer in front of him who had bought paper here yesterday.

"I want to ask, how to get to this Sunset Auction House?" Shi Xiao said.

"Well, oh, who was it yesterday! I'm sorry, I'm clumsy, every time I see, this Sunset Auction House is in the easternmost part of the city, and you can walk along this road all the way to it, and it will take about half an hour. The shopkeeper said. The store really didn't tell it was yesterday's one. In front of him, except that the voice is the same as yesterday's person, the breath of the whole person is fundamentally two people from yesterday. Now the person in front of him was like a beast, his breath restless, but obviously restrained.

"Thank you. Shi Xiao said.

"It's okay, you go slowly!" replied the shopkeeper.

Shi Xiao walked towards the path pointed out by the shopkeeper, and walked to a small alley where there was no one, and Shi Xiao jumped forward with his aura. After a few breaths, Xiao could see that the big sign had the words "auction house" written on it, and the people under the sign were very lively. Shi Xiao didn't say a word and walked straight away, this auction house is very magnificent, the whole is as high as the city wall, at least dozens of meters, very big.

The first impression of this auction house on Shi Xiao was magnificent, to be honest, it was the first time Shi Xiao had seen such a magnificent building when he was so big. When he arrived at the door, a little two came out to greet Shi Xiao, and this little two knew that they generally belonged to powerful people who were dressed like this, and he just wanted to receive these powerful people, and he could make some extra money if he didn't do it.

"This guest officer, do you need anything?" asked Xiao Er.

"I'm here to sell something. Shi Xiao said. After speaking, he took out the brown VIP sign, and when Xiao Er saw this sign, he immediately understood. turned around and took Shi Xiao to the auction house. Shi Xiao followed Xiao Er to the second floor of the auction house, and then entered a room.

"Guest officer, you hold the sign and wait first, I'll call someone over. I can't wait for your level brand, guest officer. Xiao Er quipped. After saying that, he turned around and left. Shi Xiao took advantage of this time to go out to observe and observe the auction house.

The second floor that Xiao Er took him up to was not the highest floor, and there were also the third and fourth floors. This second floor is in the shape of a ring, and the area where Shi Xiao stayed belongs to the meeting area. Further inside the meeting area is the auction area, which is blocked by a huge door, guarded by four guards, and it seems that there should be auction items inside.

"Guest, do you need help?" a voice came. Shi Xiao followed the voice and looked over and found a middle-aged man with glasses.

"I have a couple of things that I want to sell here. Shi Xiao went straight to the point. Then he returned to the room with a middle-aged man.

"Listen to you, it's your first time. The middle-aged man asked.

"Hmm, do you need to go through some formalities?" Shi Xiao asked.

"No, no, no, it depends on what you're selling. The middle-aged man replied.

"I have three scrolls to sell, two yang scrolls and one Xuan scroll. Shi Xiao said.

"Xuanjuan? Okay, I see. The middle-aged man said. The middle-aged man walked outside the door and explained a few words to Xiao Er outside the door, and then Xiao Er left. The middle-aged man returned to the room to look at Shi Xiao, the black-clothed man in front of him, who was only twenty years old at most, nodded, and was able to take out the Yin scroll, could it be that what kind of sect powerhouse was it?

"How long will we have to wait?" Shi Xiao asked. After all, I didn't come here to wait for others, and my time was very tight.

"I'm sorry, I asked Xiao Er to ask the appraisal master to go, you know, we have to be careful in this business. The middle-aged man with glasses explained. "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself, my name is Zhang Feng, and I am the manager of the second floor of the auction house. What is your name, this guest officer?" Zhang Feng continued.

"Xiao Yu. Shi Xiao replied. After all, if you don't know the place well, you can't use your real name.

"Xiao Yu, good name!" Zhang Feng quipped. "I heard that Brother Xiao brought two yang scrolls and one Xuan scroll this time?" Zhang Feng continued. After that, there was a knock at the door, and two people entered, an old man and a young woman.

"Where, where is the scroll?" said the old man hurriedly. The woman looked at Shi Xiao and the two of them with an embarrassed expression.

"Uncle Feng, I'm sorry, grandpa is like this. I'm really sorry. The woman was ashamed. The old man was the woman's grandfather, obsessed with scrolls, and when the old man heard that there was a scroll, he immediately rushed over.

"Xiao Yu, it's okay, the old man likes this, it's okay. Zhang Feng said with a smile.

Shi Xiao took out the scrolls and gave them to the old man, who looked at the three scrolls thoughtfully. Then he resolutely opened the scroll and began to study it. The woman on the side looked at Shi Xiao and the others apologetically, after all, she didn't say anything about it, and she was still a little reckless to get started. The woman could still see that Shi Xiao had a good temper, and if it was an ordinary person, she would have scolded a long time ago.

Shi Xiao looked at the old man, although the old man was sloppy, but when he saw which scroll, his eyes lit up. The old man looked at Shi Xiao as he read the scroll. After a while, the old man closed the scroll and then opened the two scrolls and began to study them, and the woman and Zhang Feng on the side were also incredible. Generally speaking, the old man in front of him can look at the scroll, but he won't look at the scroll at all, no matter how advanced the scroll is.

And today, the old man actually looked at the ground scroll. The woman and Zhang Feng looked at Shi Xiao at the same time, their eyes full of incredulity. At this time, Shi Xiao was really closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't pay attention to the gaze at all. Because Shi Xiao at this time is not the same as usual, as soon as he entered the city, Shi Xiao let Yuanyuan control his body until now.

Yuan Yuan is very tired to maintain such a state, plus he just came over and used the Instant Spirit Step, after all, he is not as strong as before, and the spiritual power around him is too thin, and he can't slow down for a while, so he needs to take a break every once in a while.

"You wrote all this?" the old man asked suddenly.

"Hmm. Shi Xiao replied.

"I don't believe it, there is still someone in this world who can link the earth scroll and the Xuan scroll together? The old man immediately denied it.

"There are many things you don't know in this world, what are these?" Shi Xiao opened his eyes and looked at the old man. Yuan Yuan didn't expect that the elemental engraving he wrote could be cracked in such a short time. You must know that this elemental engraving is to use a chapter of the earth scroll as an introduction, and then launch the scroll, and the content of this scroll is nothing else or an ordinary inscription.

The engraving is a mark, the most valuable thing is not the mark, but the power that the mark can release, the usual engraving is to let the domain force urge, and then release a huge power, which is a very lethal thing, so the most worthless of the Xuan scroll is the mark. Because the engraving is too simple, it is destroyed directly after use, and cannot be used again.

And this mark used by Yuanyuan, although it is no different from ordinary marking, but the key essence is that it can be used all the time, as long as there is an ordinary elemental ground roll. The engraved seal activated by this has the elemental power of the earth scroll, and also has the powerful power of the black scroll engraving.

"It's... Forgive me for knowing too little, I can't estimate this scroll. The old man said. Seeing the black-clothed man in front of him, he knew that he was like a frog at the bottom of a well, because he was so old that he had never seen a scroll urged by a ground scroll.

"Looks like you haven't discovered the deep-seated secrets yet. Shi Xiao said with a smile. Yuan Yuan looked at the ashamed appearance of the old man in front of him, and began to be proud.

"And the secret?" asked the old man in surprise.

"If I make a move, anything is possible!" Shi Xiao said.

"This scroll is the engraving in the Xuan scroll, you should know the shortcomings of the engraving ground, right?" Shi Xiao continued.

"Hmm... You know, you can only use it once...", the old man stammered.

"Is it ????"

"You guessed it right, my mark can be reused, as long as there is a ground scroll. Shi Xiao said calmly. Everyone present was amazed, and for the first time they had heard of the reusable Genscroll engraving. Three pairs of eyes stared directly at the man in black in front of him. Of course, Shi Xiao didn't care about these people's gazes.

"It's... May I ask who your Excellency is?" said the old man excitedly. I may never see this scroll in my life, but this time I saw it, and I must ask about the origin.

"Xiao Yu!" Shi Xiao said.

"I'll pay 10,000 gold for this scroll. The old man said. After all, it is a rare item in the world, and with his love for scrolls so much, it is worth putting all his life savings on it. And this is a scroll, the most ordinary scroll even if it is engraved has to cost a thousand gold, such a scroll of 10,000 metals is not much.

"Oh no, Xiaoyu, little friend, how much do you think is appropriate," the old man continued. Even if you go bankrupt, you have to buy it.

"Grandpa?" said the young woman. After all, it was the first time she had seen her grandfather Ken hemorrhage and buy a scroll.

"Yu'er, don't say it. The old man said solemnly.

"This scroll, let's let the fourth-floor steward handle it!" Zhang Feng found that the form was wrong, and the old man was bent on taking the scroll down. If you go through the auction house, let alone 10,000 gold, someone will buy 100,000 gold, because Luoyang City is about to hold a domain power selection, and the major families will definitely pay this money. When the time comes, you can still make a lot of money by deducting a little handling fee.

"Then listen to Master Zhang, old man, this scroll should be handed over to the auction house!" Shi Xiao was not so stupid. Such a large piece of fat meat cannot be easily traded.

"50,000 gold !!" The lord has already handed over all his family resources. He didn't expect the man in black in front of him to be so calm, so he could only give it a go.

"Old man, I don't know what your last name is?" Shi Xiao quipped.

"My surname is Rong. From the Melting Mountain Fire Sect!" the old man said proudly. After all, he is the elder of Rongzhu Mountain, and he is quite tough to speak on this continent.

"Okay Rong Lao, the rest of my land scroll will be given to you, and the rest will be handed over to the auction house. Shi Xiao continued.

"It's... Okay..."The old man found that the kid in front of him didn't eat the sect's power at all, so he still gave up, after all, he couldn't cut off people's money. I picked up the unopened scroll and opened it for a while...

"Thank you Xiao Yu, for letting me, an old man, see it today. The old man quickly put the roll away.

"Xiaoyou, if you have anything to do with the auction house to find me, just go directly to Zhang Feng. I'll be cheeky enough to accept this scroll, old man!!" the old man said to Shi Xiao.

"It's okay, please!" Shi Xiao said politely. I didn't expect to be able to get a huge power with a scroll.
