Xiangjiang is a strange city.

Or rather, a more traditional city.

This tradition is not only manifested in the fact that they are still using traditional Chinese characters that have long been unused in the land of China, but also in their inheritance of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture.

As the quintessence of traditional Chinese culture, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture is still very prosperous in Xiangjiang.

Here, Taoist masters, Buddhist masters, and feng shui metaphysical masters have very high social status, and in such an environment, the rich and powerful people in Xiangjiang have a fanaticism that borders on paranoia for all kinds of ritual weapons and antique treasures.

The time was half past six in the afternoon, and although there was still half an hour before the start of the auction, the entire Fangsheng International gate was already full of all kinds of cars.

These cars are all luxury cars without exception, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and other common luxury car brands can only be at the bottom here, and people who are not wealthy enough are not qualified to enter the market even if they are embarrassed to drive a Jetta over.

After Liu Bi handed over the invitation, he walked into the venue alone.

Since Hong Xing had just changed hands, there were still many affairs to be dealt with inside and out, so Liu Bi did not let Jiang Rulong and others act casually, but acted alone.

As soon as I entered the venue, a warm but not at all noisy atmosphere suddenly came to my face, and everywhere I could see people from the upper class of the Xiangjiang River wearing suits and ties talking to each other, and there were even many Taoist monks wearing Taoist robes and robes in the middle.

These people smile and talk to each other, behave elegantly, and have a harmonious atmosphere.

Suddenly, the entry of one person caught everyone's attention.

"Huang Lao, look, it's Huang Lao who is here."

Someone exclaimed, and before his words fell, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses and a very well-cut suit walked up quickly and greeted him with a smile.

"Old Huang, you are honored to be here today, the humble house is shining, haha."

"Mr. Liao is polite, the old man rushed over today, isn't it because Mr. Liao has a baby here that makes the old man's heart move? Hehe. ”

Huang Lao is an old man with a thin face and white beard, who looks old (70 years old), but his spirit is still vibrant, and his body invisibly exudes a majestic momentum, which makes people dare not underestimate it. He was accompanied by a young man in his twenties, with a somewhat similar face, who was supposed to be his grandson.

"Haha, Huang Lao will see something later, just say, I will personally send it to your house as soon as possible."

Mr. Liao said very politely.

"Eh, Mr. Liao, this is too polite."

The two laughed and talked, and Liu Bi heard the people around him whisper questions.

"Who is this old gentleman? Even Mr. Liao, the boss of Fangsheng International, is so polite, as far as I know, Mr. Liao's vision has always been very high. ”

"You don't even know him?"

Someone else was surprised: "This old Mr. Huang is the former head of Xiangjiang, and his eldest son is named Huang Mingxin!" ”

"Huang Mingxin!? My God, it's actually the current mayor of Xiangjiang District? Tsk, that's a big deal. It's such a big man, but I'm dumbfounded. ”

District?

Liu Bi raised his eyebrows, the district magistrate of Xiangjiang is equivalent to the provincial and ministerial level in the mainland, and he is a real feudal official, and his status can be described as not light.

"Huh? This old Mr. Huang seems to have something strange in his body. ”

Suddenly, Liu Bi, who had glanced at Mr. Huang a few times, frowned, because he found that there was something abnormal in Mr. Huang's body.

"This ...... This old Mr. Huang seems to have a stubborn disease in his body, and now it has spread to the depths of the liver, if he is not treated, he is afraid that he will die soon. ”

After looking at it for a while, Liu Bi shook his head again.

"That's it, how is he doing, and what does it have to do with me?"

As time passed, the crowd came to the auction hall to take their seats, and at 6:50, all the more than 300 guests were seated, and there was no empty seat in the whole room.

"The auction has officially begun."

The host came to the stage and lifted the red cloth placed on the auction table, and immediately two staff members walked up holding a quaint wooden box.

"The first piece to be auctioned was a porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties. This piece of blue and white porcelain is a rare treasure, and it is ......"

For things that he was not interested in, Liu Bi directly chose to ignore them, and took out his mobile phone to chat with the immortals in the Three Realms group.

"The second auction is ......"

"Third ......"

……

In the blink of an eye, three hours have passed, and the auction is nearing the end, but what can make Liu Bi's heart flutter has not yet appeared.

"It seems that the auction in Xiangjiang is nothing more than that......"

Liu Bi shook his head with some disappointment, he thought that there would be something that could improve his strength or help his future cultivation at this auction, but now it seems that it is completely a bamboo basket to draw water, and he will be happy in vain.

Just as Liu Bi was about to leave the table, the host suddenly said loudly.

"Today's auction is over, but next, we have to show you a fine product."

Before he finished speaking, a scorching breath suddenly hit his face, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire auction hall.

It felt as if the sun had suddenly appeared in the auction hall.

"Huh? This is? ”

Liu Bi was moved, turned around to look, and saw four big men walking up with a huge special safe.

The host explained while wiping his sweat.

"Such a thing, called a flaming stone, comes from outside the heavens, and is a true treasure. This item is provided by Mr. Huang, not auctioned, only exchanged. ”

"From out of nowhere? What is this? Why is it so hot? ”

"I don't know, it must be a treasure, otherwise, people like Mr. Huang will not treasure it, and they will not sell it, but only exchange it, this is clearly a priceless treasure! This feeling of heat must also be emanating from that thing. "Someone admired.

"What's the use of just heating up? Do you want to take it back as a microwave? "There is also some disdain.

But in Liu Bi's eyes, the look of disappointment had receded, replaced by undisguised ecstasy.

"Flame Essence! It's actually a flame essence that is pure to the extreme! This powerful feeling is many times stronger than the flame essence I obtained before, if I can refine this flame essence, maybe I can successfully upgrade the three calamities of karma from the earth disaster level to the legendary natural disaster level! ”

The three calamities of karma and fire are the magical spells in the red envelope of the king of Yama, if you practice to the fullest, even the immortals in the heavens, the ghosts and gods of the underworld will tremble, but Liu Bi's three calamities of karma and fire have stayed for a long time in the second calamity: the level of the earth calamity, and he has been suffering from the lack of flame essence to evolve the pupil of karma.

Before the congenital transformation realm, the second calamity of the three karmic fire disasters: earth calamity can still play an unexpected effect in the battle, but after Liu Bi was promoted to the congenital transformation realm, the role that the three karmic fire calamities and earth calamities can play in the battle is very limited, but if the three karmic fire calamities can be upgraded to the level of the third calamity: natural calamity, then there is no doubt that the three karmic fire calamities will once again become Liu Bi's most powerful killer weapon.

This is equivalent to another stunt to press the bottom of the box, how can Liu Bi not be excited?

However, this thing is not sold, only exchanged, so what should I exchange it for?

Just as Liu Bi lowered his head and thought, the host opened the safe with a "snap", and suddenly, an unbearable heat wave immediately rushed towards the crowd.

"It's too hot, close the safe!"

"yes, it's so hot, who can stand it. Hurry up and turn on the air conditioner! ”

……

The crowd said dissatisfied, but the host was sweating profusely and holding the microphone and said.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry to say it's hot, you guys should feel it carefully, are there any changes in your body?"

"Change? What's changed...... Wait a minute! It's ......"

A fat man looked at his arm in surprise, only to see that the pores of his arm were frantically squeezing out some black filth, and the fat man reached out to wipe the filth away, and suddenly saw that his arm was gradually becoming as clean and smooth as a baby.

"This ...... This ......"

Suddenly, he was speechless in astonishment.

"Oh, my hair!"

Another person exclaimed, this time it was a bald boss who exclaimed, and the top of his bare head was slowly growing some hair at this moment because of the effect of the flame stone.

"This ...... What kind of magic is this? ”

……

Then, the sound of shock continued, although it was only a short time, but everyone had already appreciated the extraordinary power of this flame stone.

Even Liu Bi was a little surprised.

What's going on? As far as I know, the Flame Essence definitely doesn't have such a powerful vitality, could it be that there are other strange things in this Flame Stone?

In the shock of the audience, the host spoke again.

"Surely everyone has seen the extraordinaryness of this flame stone, right? That's right, this flame stone can't help but contain a huge amount of flame energy, and it also has a strong vitality. Under the radiation of this flame stone, the human body will become healthier and longer, and, according to Mr. Huang, this flame stone ......"

"I want it!"

Before the host could finish speaking, someone stood up and shouted loudly.

"I'm willing to exchange Wang Xizhi's true handiwork!"

"I want it! I am willing to exchange 300 million Hong Kong dollars worth of magic weapons, dzi beads! ”

……

The shouts were endless, and everyone was excited, and it was obvious that after seeing the extraordinary power of this flame stone, these powerful and wealthy merchants were determined to obtain this divine object.

In the warm atmosphere, the host's words could no longer be spoken, so he had to look at the crowd shouting with a wry smile.

Seeing this, Liu Bi frowned slightly, this is a little troublesome.
