Chapter 23: The Auction (2)
Soon, the day of the auction approached, and the rumors intensified.
What kind of divine beast can trigger the vision of heaven and earth, the appearance is extremely ugly, and a howl can take people's hearts. What's more, even "those who win the divine beasts win the world" have been blown out.
Because it was so outrageous, all of a sudden, all the forces began to waver. But it is impossible to verify the authenticity of the news, if it is really a divine beast, the auction house must protect it impermeable.
However, countless spies have investigated in the dark, eager to turn the auction house over, but they have not found where the so-called "divine beast" is.
After some tossing, it can only be boiled down to the fact that there is indeed some special spirit beast to be auctioned. As for some mythical beast, maybe it's just a gimmick. However, this did not prevent the surrounding forces and sects from gradually moving into Shifang City.
Of course, the initiator of everything is not idle, and is racking his brains to remove the spirit ring around his neck.
The captured spirit beasts generally have to be brought with a spirit ring, and unless they sign a contract with a person, they can automatically fall off, otherwise there is no way to crack it.
Mengxian carefully studied the structure of the spirit binding circle, and found that this thing was tightly fitted, the shell was not gold or wood, and there was a faint flow of light inside, which was so delicate that it did not look like a man-made thing.
Could it be......
She had a bold idea.
"Little brother, come here!" Seeing the blue-eyed little boy passing by the courtyard, Mengxian screamed, trying to get his attention.
"What's wrong?" the young man walked over inexplicably, and his words unconsciously revealed a hint of softness, "The little one is hungry?"
"Can you help me get some...... Well...... A corrosive elixir?"
"Yes, you can, but why do you want this?"
"I'm guessing, too...... I feel like there's some kind of living thing sealed inside the Soul Binding......"
"So?" the young man's eyes flashed with interest.
"So I wonder if this thing can be corroded with something and let out the contents of it. Mengxian scratched his head, "I think it's the things inside that suppress the spiritual power...... If I can put it out......"
After listening to her incoherent narration, the boy nodded, "Okay." ”
"So it's ...... Eh, you promised! I'm sorry for you!" Mengxian was still having a headache to explain, but when he saw that he agreed happily, he immediately jumped up happily.
"I'll come back to you in the evening. The boy heard someone shouting, and hurriedly left a sentence and left.
Is this little guy really just a spirit beast...... The young man felt that his desire to explore was even stronger.
That night, the little boy didn't know where to get a small white porcelain vase, and told him not to touch the fur.
As soon as Mengxian tried it, he really easily corroded a piece of the shell, and the air was filled with the smell of burning hair. The contents were like jelly, and I don't know what they were, so they all fell carefully on the ground outside the cage.
After a while, those "jellies" disappeared without a trace.
Well...... Sure enough, it's some kind of creature...... She just thought that the Spirit Binding Circle itself was not a high-level thing, and she didn't think much about it. But I don't know that ordinary poisons can't destroy it at all.
After a while, she felt the presence of spiritual power again, and she was so cool that she almost wanted to destroy something to vent.
Forcibly holding back this impulse, the Dream Fairy carefully turned the spirit binding circle in a different direction, hiding the destroyed place in the fur, and pretending that everything was normal.
Another day or two passed without danger, and finally the day of the auction arrived.
The entrance of the auction house was bustling, and people walked in twos and threes. Because I heard the rumors of the "Divine Beast", the number of people present today was many times better than usual.
"Hey, have you heard? Even the people from the Ten Directions Sect and the Tianhai Alliance are here today!"
"Even the people from the five major sects are here, isn't that rumor true?"
"Who knows, maybe they're coming for other auctions?"
One after another, the sound of discussion rang out, buzzing into one another. The shopkeeper listened with his ears pricked up and couldn't help but smile proudly. Although he didn't know who was helping him, he had temporarily added a lot of high-level spirit beasts and magic weapons today, and he made a lot of money regardless of whether there were so-called divine beasts or not.
Suddenly, the crowd quieted down, and several guards wearing dark purple robes with cold expressions opened the way, and a tall man with a black-gold mask with only the upper half of his face, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly walked towards the auction hall.
"Lord Chu!" many women in the crowd shouted in surprise.
"Lord Chu is in good health!"
"Hello Lord Chu!"
The crowd rang out one after another greetings, and their faces were filled with sincere smiles and admiration.
The prince of Chu is a descendant of the Chu family in Dongye Kingdom, ranking seventh. I almost got lost because of some accidents. When the family couldn't find it and was about to give up, he miraculously came back and got a great opportunity.
It is said that when he got lost, he walked into an immortal's cave and took the immortal medicine. The physique became extremely suitable for cultivation, and he suddenly became an innate genius. Since then, the cultivation of the prince of Chu has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has begun to attract attention.
Just a few years ago, the prince of Chu, who was still studying in the Shanhai Academy, resolutely joined the army for trials and shined on the battlefield against foreign races.
It was when his reputation was rising, but the prince of Chu was plotted and unfortunately captured. However, he survived the torture of the enemy, and not only successfully escaped, but also brought back an important topographical map of the alien country!
His sacrifice is also huge, it is said that when the enemy was tortured, the cruel destruction not only made him completely blind, but also collapsed his dantian, and there was no possibility of progress in his cultivation from then on!
Now he can only "see" through the only remaining spiritual power. The best doctor in the Red Dust Realm also asserted that there was no possibility of his dantian being repaired again, and his cultivation would not progress again.
Such a huge contribution made him a prince with a different surname at a young age, and he had no arrogance, always with an extremely gentle and polite smile, so he was very loved and admired by the people.
Because he was blind and could no longer go to the battlefield, after graduation, he was invited to teach at the Shanhai Academy, serving as an idle dean and occasionally lecturing.
"Lord Wang, you're here!" the shopkeeper was so excited that his old face turned red, "The VIP seat is ready, please come in!"
"Don't bother. With a gentle and detached smile, Lord Chu said slowly: "Let's sit at the ordinary table today." ”
"Okay, okay!" the shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Then the villain will prepare the front row of the ordinary seat for you!
"I'm tired. Lord Chu nodded lightly, and immediately had a spiritual subordinate come over to guide the way.
After the prince of Chu entered, the crowd exploded in an instant.
"Oh my God! I'm going to go in and grab a seat!"
"If I can sit near the prince of Chu, I will die without regrets!"
"You want to be beautiful!
People began to rush to the auction floor.
In the backstage of the auction hall, Mengxian's cage was covered with a beautiful brocade cloth, and the little boy who was huddled aside was instructed to make final preparations.
"You're like that for a while...... Put the lights ...... Then ......"
After a man and a beast touched each other, they began to go their separate ways.
The first half of the auction was carried out in an orderly manner under the attention of everyone, and Mengxian felt that his cage was shaken and was moved to the stage.
"The next thing we're auctioning is ......!"
"Smack!"
As soon as the host shouted the first half of the sentence, the entire hall suddenly darkened.
"What's going on?"
At this time, a beam of light in Taichung suddenly turned on and hit the cage of Mengxian directly.
The dream fairy settled his mind, scattered his thoughts, and said word by word: "I am the one who has been appointed by the heavens, and I am here to find the person of atmospheric luck!"
The entire auction hall was in an uproar.
