Chapter 242: Fragment True Body
. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
This is just a small auction in a small town, Li Qingyu and Jia You didn't think they would come to participate if they hadn't accidentally seen a special spirit grass in this auction, after sorting out the list of lots, several things that they thought could be easily obtained were actually snatched away by others at an outrageous price, making them feel a little abnormal.
To be honest, the value of the three auction items that were snatched just now is not high, and there are many people who can afford the price, but since they are ready to auction them off and give them to Jiayou as gifts, Li Qingyu is naturally ready to pay a high price, but she didn't expect that the transaction price of these three things can be as high as three times the standard value, if she can bargain, it is more than enough to buy the same four things outside at the same price.
Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Li Qingyu pressed the call bell and found the waiter of the auction house to ask for a list of the transaction prices of the items in the auction house in the past few days.
Although this list is not confidential, it is not something that can be shown to guests at will, and when Li Qingyu made a request, the waiter hesitated slightly, and finally found one for her for the sake of the Heavenly Alchemist badge.
Any Heavenly Rank Alchemist is a big customer of the auction house, whether it is consignment of pills or buying materials, it can bring extremely high profits to the auction house, although their auction house has been established for a long time, but there is still a lot of high-end customers, and there is no related Heavenly Rank Alchemist, if he can keep this guest for the auction house, maybe it will bring great benefits to himself.
Think so. After handing the list to Li Qingyu, the waiter did not leave the private room, but stayed near the door. Wait for her next command.
After browsing the list of transaction prices, Li Qingyu felt that the world must be crazy, otherwise why would almost all the auction items have been sold at more than twice the price during this time? Even the auction price of the opening lot as entertainment can be 30% higher, if it was placed in the past, she would never believe it.
The narrator, Jiayou, also noticed this, staring at the list in surprise and winking, thinking that something was wrong with his eyes. I couldn't help but look at the waiter standing by the door in surprise and asked, "Does your owner have any backstage?" "Otherwise, why would these people who participated in the auction choose this way to send money to the auction house?
The waiter was stunned for a moment, shook his head and replied, "The owner of our auction house is just a local spiritual force. It is only slightly influential in this place, and it is reluctant to say that it is backstage. ”
Li Qingyu knocked on the list in his hand and said, "Then why are the auction prices so outrageous during this time?" ”
Now it was the waiter's turn to be surprised.
"You don't know?"
Li Qingyu said curiously: "What should I know? ”
Probably seeing that their expressions did not look fake, the waiter explained, "It all started a month ago......
About a month ago, a spiritual person dressed like a homeless man approached their auction house. Say they have a lot that will make their auction house famous. They asked their proprietor to come out to see him, but he couldn't see the depth of the man, so the steward hesitated and found the proprietor.
The proprietor and the homeless man were in the same room and did not know what to say, but when they came out, they saw the homeless man being treated as a guest by the proprietor and entered the VIP room.
The next day, the news of the auction house auctioning a jade piece spread to the major forces through many channels, and at first, even the auction house itself did not believe that such publicity could attract many customers, but what they did not expect was this. On the day of the auction of jade tablets, almost all the top forces sent people. And that auction was the craziest auction house ever held, not only did each lot sell for two to three times higher than the expected price, but the last jade piece was auctioned for an artifact and a half-step Saint Pill, which was finally obtained by Qinghe Valley.
However, when the auction ended, the owner of the auction house appeared in person, explaining that two jade pieces of the same material would be auctioned one after another, so that everyone could look forward to it, so that all the people who came to the auction were more interested.
After this auction, the news of the jade piece spread.
Someone connected this jade piece with what happened at the Zhaoyang Mansion Wanbao Conference before, plus the final winners were all Qinghe Valley, and the representatives of other big forces also made interested appearances, so these people's thoughts began to diverge infinitely, and they started to think about the remaining two jade pieces.
As a result, the auction house has seen the phenomenon that almost all the lots are sold at prices higher than the original price, because they want to gain the favor of the owner or the owner of the jade piece, and anyway, the people who think they are qualified to participate in it are people who are not short of money, and it is not a big deal to throw a small amount of money before bidding on the jade piece.
After listening to the waiter, Li Qingyu was already stunned. No wonder the person in charge seemed a little embarrassed when she wanted a private room, and finally assigned a room to her for the sake of being a heaven-level alchemist, it turned out that there were too many people who couldn't be offended?
There is also that jade piece, since it can be so valued by Qinghe Valley and can attract the attention of so many big forces, it must be the same thing as the jade fragment in his hand, and I don't know who the seller is and why there are as many as three pieces in his hand.
Knowing what happened, of course Li Qingyu would not continue to buy all the things he fancied according to the original plan, although he had money, but after all, he didn't pick it up for nothing, and he should leave the creature of the wronged head to someone else.
However, since there is such an opportunity to make money, why not take advantage of it?
So in the waiter's stunned, Li Qingyu took out one-third of his stock of pills and piled them in the private room, waved his hand at him and said, "Go find someone to deal with it, I plan to auction these up." ”
The waiter stared at the pile of half-man-high porcelain vases for a long time before he said "oh" and turned out to find a steward who could handle the matter.
Two days later, the owner of the auction house, who had set off another round of auctions because of the pile of extremely high-quality pills, came to the door to express his gratitude. and vaguely proposed the intention of long-term cooperation, but Li Qingyu refused.
She came to this remote town entirely because she was too aggrieved to stay on Jingnan Mountain and face Wei Li, such a place with no distinctive geographical location and not very good. It is estimated that there is no special thing in this life, and although this auction house looks infinitely beautiful now, once the three pieces of jade are auctioned off, if there is no new explosion point, it will return to the previous state, and it is not a favorable choice for her to enter into a long-term cooperation intention, unless the owner can come up with something enough to attract her, otherwise with her level of a heaven-level alchemist, which auction house in the world of all spirits will not value her?
I probably know that it is a bit whimsical for me to make such a request now. The proprietor didn't mention it again after she refused, but said that if they still wanted to sell the pill during this time, they would open it up and hand over the spirit stones and materials obtained from the pill that had been auctioned off before to her in person.
Li Qingyu and Jiayou stayed in this small city for a month. Li Qingyu made a lot of money by auctioning pills, and even Jia You made a fortune with the pills he refined, and he also witnessed the auction of the other two jade pieces, confirming that those two jade pieces were of the same material as the Yugui fragments. And those two pieces of jade were once again pocketed by Qinghe Valley. It's just that the cost is greater, and the things taken out are enough to make anyone who knows how to be jaw-dropping.
After the jade tablets were auctioned off, the business of the auction house really plummeted as Li Qingyu had expected, and the representatives of those big forces left one after another, leaving only some people who were interested in the remaining small things, and some people who were left for the huge number of high-grade pills some time ago, but unfortunately, after Li Qingyu left, those pills were naturally gone.
As for what happened to the auction house after that. Li Qingyu didn't know or be interested, and led Jia You to Qinghe Valley for a turn. I purchased all the things that I had said before, but didn't buy because of an accident, and ordered a heaven-level alchemy furnace to take advantage of, and then I went back to Jingnan Mountain.
This trip to Qinghe Valley Jiayou did not meet his former classmates again, which made him a little regretful, you must know that his current level is already a step higher, if possible, he also wants to show his hand to the people who laughed at him before, and even considered the possibility of going directly to the door, but then he thought about it was not necessary, and in the end, it was forgotten.
After returning to Jingnan Mountain, Jia You took the newly arrived Heavenly Rank Alchemy Furnace to retreat and practice, while Li Qingyu went step by step to meet Wei Li, who he didn't particularly want to see.
Although Wei Li is no longer as terrifying as it seemed some time ago, once the psychological shadow is planted deep in his heart, it is difficult to eliminate, even if he has a good attitude towards himself now and he has not made a mistake, it will still make her have the illusion that she will not know when she will be thrown into the small world, and this feeling is like a thorn in her heart.
Seeing Li Qingyu staggering up to the third floor, Wei Li put down the book in his hand and motioned for her to sit opposite him.
Li Qingyu sat down obediently, staring ahead, not daring to make any superfluous movements.
"It's been a bit long to go out this time, I thought you'd run away with Jiayou."
Wei Li's tone was light, but it successfully made Li Qingyu's back stand up a layer of hair, and he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only laugh dryly: "The master said that he laughed......"
"Is that because something happened?"
Glancing at a purple-black box on the bookshelf on the side, Li Qingyu told Qinghe Valley about taking three jade tablets, and then roughly talked about the reason why he stayed outside for so long, to show that he had always been very well-behaved and had no intention of escaping.
Although Li Qingyu's glance just now was not obvious, it was still captured by Wei Li, and after glancing at the box, Wei Li's eyes narrowed, and there was a little playfulness in his voice: "It seems that I still have a lot of things here that are worth your coveting." ”
Li Qingyu froze, he didn't expect that the glance he had just now would be misinterpreted by Wei Li to mean something else, he couldn't even laugh dryly, and explained with a sad face: "I definitely didn't covet anything from my master, the previous time was a complete accident!" ”
Wei Li didn't say anything about her explanation, waved his hand to let the box over there fall steadily in his hand, opened it and placed it on the table between the two.
The box contained pieces of fragments that had been placed in the original state of Yukyu, because there were quite a few of them. I can vaguely see that they are two different Yugui.
Li Qingyu made up for the fragments in his hand If they were also placed in the box, the two pieces of Yugui would have basically been restored, and the remaining fragments didn't know if they were all in Qinghe Valley. If one or two pieces were scattered in a corner that no one knew, maybe she would never be able to see the two pieces of Yugui in their complete appearance in her life.
Staring at the fragments in the box was too distracted, Li Qingyu didn't notice that Wei Li's facial paralysis had a smile that scared her to death, and when she raised her head, she still saw a paralyzed face, but her eyes seemed to say: You also said that you didn't covet it, look at your appearance just now!
I know that what I just did was really too much like I had a "bad heart" for these fragments. Li Qingyu couldn't help but move back, so that he would no longer pay attention to the box, so as not to cause the master to be unhappy.
What surprised her. Wei Li not only did not pursue it, but pointed to these fragments and asked her, "Do you know what these fragments are?" ”
Li Qingyu shook his head.
She first knew about the fragments because she saw these fragments in Wei Li's hands in her previous life, and later because of the Qinghe Valley. The value of the fragments was indirectly understood. But what exactly these fragments are is unknown.
"Have you ever heard of the place 'Outside the World'?"
Li Qingyu carefully searched in his memory, and finally came to the conclusion: "...... No. ”
"These two pieces of jade are actually the key to unlocking the 'Outer Heaven', if you want to talk about their own value, in fact, they are just two pieces of jade with better quality spiritual jade, what is really worthy of people's madness is actually the 'Outer Heaven' they represent."
Wei Li once again emphasized the "Outside the World", but Li Qingyu didn't know what this place was. I can only wait for the following with my ears propped.
But...... Although I am sure that I have not heard of this place, I have a subtle familiarity with these three words. Why is that? Could it be that you have seen it somewhere but have not noticed?
"If you want to introduce the Outer Heavens, you have to start with the Origin Desolate Sect."
Li Qingyu froze.
Starting from the original desolate sect, wouldn't it be said that it should start from the time when the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm had not yet opened up from chaos? When is this going to be?
Wei Li didn't care what Li Qingyu's mood was, and talked about it to himself.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
How the original desolate sect opened up a world from chaos, and how it turned this world into what it is today, no third person knows except themselves, but this kind of thing, starting from the birth of the spirit in the world of all spirits, is the unattainable goal of all living beings.
As we all know, after the spirit introduction period is the foundation building period, and after the Yuan infant period is the infant period, and if you break through the infant period, you can become the top powerhouse of the mainland and enter the ancestor period.
But what about after the ancestral period?
Qianzu Kunzu is the existence of the pinnacle of the Asking Ancestors Period, which is the result of artificial regulations, but above the Asking Ancestors Period, there is no higher level? Is the height of the original sect and the desolate sect a level that can be achieved through hard work?
Ordinary beings would never think about such a possibility, after all, in their eyes, Qianzu Kunzu was already an insurmountable existence, let alone a character like the original desolate sect that only existed in legends. Higher than asking the ancestral period? Let's talk about it first when it comes to asking ancestors!
But there are two people in the Spirits who are qualified to consider such a thing, and they do.
The first to put forward this idea was Qianzu, because he was cultivated by Kun Zu, and his awe of the original desolate sect was not as strong as Kun Zu, since he was able to grow into an existence as high as the person who cultivated him, is it possible to go further?
When he told Kunzu about this idea, he was opposed by Kunzu.
Kunzu thinks that they, as the rulers of the Heavenly Destiny, have been destined to be high since their birth, and it is impossible to go further, not to mention that because of the long life, she has already tried the possibility of doing it in the chaos, but in the end she came up with an "impossible" result, so she can be her own Kunzu with peace of mind.
After that, Qianzu never mentioned this matter again, but I don't know if he tried it in private.
The time soon came for a conflict between humans and the Holy Spirit to spread to Kunzu.
Disappointed by what humans had done, Kunzu somehow thought of what Qianzu had mentioned before, and came up with the idea of "If you open up another world." wouldn't it be better to separate humanity from the Holy Spirit".
Qianzu happily agreed to Kunzu's request, and began to work with her to research a way to break through the Ancestor Questioning Period, trying to open up a new world in the chaos like the original Desolate Sect.
And they succeeded. also failed.
Qianzu and Kunzu finally opened up a small space next to the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, but this space did not have the possibility of becoming a world, it was only a subsidiary of the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, and it could not accommodate lowly creatures, and the powerful could not survive in it for a long time, except for the two founders, this space excluded everything that was alive.
And so in the end. The space named "Outer Heaven" by the Second Ancestor became the residence of the Second Ancestor of Qiankun, and the Ancestor of Kun occasionally appeared in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, and the Ancestor of Qianzu had been living in it for almost all since the birth of the Outer Heaven. Except for the six monarchs of Qiankun, it was difficult for others to see him.
Later, Kunzu, who was frequently "harassed" by humans, gradually became like Qianzu and stayed at home and did not show up, but even so. There's still no way to completely escape the pervasive humans. In the end, he made the decision to follow the original desolate sect - since he couldn't break through by staying in the Ten Thousand Spirits Realm, maybe he could get a chance by returning to Chaos?
Before leaving, Qianzu Kunzu locked the Outer Heaven and condensed two pieces of jade as the key to unlock, one yin and one yang, which were divided into three pieces and handed over to the six monarchs of Qiankun, and then disappeared.
However, the news of Yugui was somehow known to the humans, and they believed that there must be a lot of treasures left in the outer heavens. So he tried his best to plot Yugui, and there were many infights because of the outburst of selfish desires. Some people try to destroy Yugui with the heart of "I can't get it, you don't want to get it", and some people divide their share into more than one in order to increase their chips...... Gradually, Yukyu was divided into fragments of various sizes, and there were so many of them that even the humans themselves forgot what they were fighting for in the first place, and later they didn't pay attention to these seemingly useless "stones", and some of them didn't know where they were.
So the Outer Heaven has never been opened since the day the Second Ancestor of Qiankun was lost, and the six monarchs of Qiankun are all tight-lipped, and people have no way of knowing what is inside, and they slowly lose interest in it, not to mention the treasures inside, not many people have even heard of the three words "Outside the World".
Listening to Wei Li finish telling the whole story, Li Qingyu's understanding of the human race was refreshed again, she never thought that human beings were such creatures, always doing things that hurt others and themselves, but they didn't know it, thinking that everything they did was right, even if they realized that they were wrong, they had to do something wrong to prove that they were actually right before......
Fortunately, Yu Chen is not such a person.
Just sighed, Li Qingyu was stunned for a moment.
Why did you suddenly think of him? Is it because I haven't seen you in a while?
Shaking his head to shake the name out of his mind, Li Qingyu glanced at the box in front of him and asked Wei Li, "Where did these fragments come from in the master's hand?" Why did Qinghe Valley collect these fragments? ”
"These are the ones I got one after another because of chance, but in fact, I didn't deliberately collect them, and gradually there were so many. As for why the Qinghe Valley collects fragments...... After all, it is the only direct inheritance left under the throne of Kun Zu, maybe the high-level is still following the ancestral teachings, right? I don't know how much they've collected over the years, and if they're enough to piece together a complete Yugui with mine. ”
Because of what Wanbao had seen and heard in the inn before, Li Qingyu certainly knew that Wei Li was talking nonsense with his eyes open. Ming Ming Qing River Valley collected fragments in his hands but pretended not to know, and said expressionlessly, "I don't know if I can piece together a complete Yugui", if they can really put it together, it is estimated that they will not wait for news so leisurely now before making a move, but look all over the world for the whereabouts of another Yugui fragment, right?
However, Li Qingyu was not stupid enough to expose the master to her face, she didn't want to expose the fact that she knew about this in front of him, at least not until he unlocked the ban on herself, so as to avoid looking for death.
Thinking of this, she pretended to be stupid with a smile on her face: "I'm really looking forward to the day when the two Yugui are restored to completeness." ”
"yes, then these fragments are good for you."
“…… What?! ”-
(To be continued......)
