As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the interest of several people, especially Zhao Wan'er, who loved to join in the fun, and hurriedly said:

"Okay, okay, there's such a bustle, I must go and see it. ”

Saying that, he looked at Chen Pingdao on the side:

"Brother Ping, what do you say?"

Regarding Zhao Wan'er's habit of joining in the fun, Chen Ping had no choice but to ask:

"I don't know what Brother Jianhe said, what is this thing that is enough to arouse the interest of the five great families?"

As soon as these words came out, even Luo Fatzi, who had been eating refreshments with his head bored, pricked up his ears, Li Jianhe seemed to enjoy the feeling of being noticed, cleared his throat, and pretended to be mysterious:

"I don't know if you've heard of Xinghai Lake?"

As soon as Zhao Wan'er heard the words Xinghai Lake, she immediately came to her senses, and hurriedly asked:

"You mean the legendary Xinghai Lake, which only opens once every twenty years?"

"That's right, it's this Xinghai Lake, legend has it that this is an extremely magical place, it's a huge lake on weekdays, but for some reason, every twenty years, the water level of the lake drops, revealing a large wetland, the scenery at this time is not only beautiful, but also produces some heaven and earth spiritual objects that can only appear here. ”

"What heaven and earth spirits?"

Luo Fatzi was obviously also interested, and couldn't help but interrupt.

At this time, Li Jianhe took out a round bead from the storage bag on his waist, pinched it in his hand and shook it towards everyone, but he pretended to be mysterious and did not speak.

As soon as this thing came out, everyone present felt a strong water aura instantly fill the entire room, and Ye Xiu, who had the heart of the Five Elements Dao, felt it the most.

Seeing that everyone showed surprised expressions, Li Jianhe continued to speak with satisfaction:

"This thing is called the Water Yuan Pearl, it is a kind of demon pill called the Water Yuan Demon, so it is also called the Water Yuan Demon Pill, presumably several people have already felt it, this Water Yuan Pearl, but it is an excellent thing to assist in the cultivation of the water system Dao. To put it bluntly, as long as a monk in the realm of a first-grade Taoist priest has a second-grade water yuan bead, he can steadily enter the second grade, and if there is a third-grade water yuan bead, he may be able to enter the third grade. ”

"Is this Shui Yuan Zhu still graded?"

At this time, it was Ye Xiu who spoke up, and this Shui Yuan Zhu sounded like it had a great effect on him, so he asked out loud.

Li Jianhe saw that it was Ye Xiu who asked, but he changed his previous grip and hurriedly explained:

"Brother Ye doesn't know, although this Water Yuan Demon is peculiar, but in terms of level, it should belong to the demon clan of the high-level demon beast realm. That's why they have a demon pill, and the strength of high-level demon beasts is equivalent to the Taoist realm powerhouse among human cultivators, and the corresponding strength is also divided into three grades, and the demon pills on their bodies are naturally of different grades, and this water yuan bead in my hand is only a water yuan bead!"

After listening to Lijianhe's explanation, Ye Xiu also understood, he had also deliberately checked the level of the demon clan in the Chen family's collection before, and he also had a more systematic understanding of this than before, the demons were divided into low-level demon beasts, high-level demon beasts, able to speak, shape-shifting, and crossing.

Low-level demon beasts are beasts that have entered the Dao, and the unicorn rock snake that Ye Xiu killed before is like this, this kind of demon beast has just opened its spiritual wisdom, most of them are bloodline inheritance, and very few of them are accumulated through their own cultivation.

And the low-level demon beast condenses into a demon pill after further cultivation, which is to cultivate into a demon beast in the true sense of the word-high-level demon beast, and the demon beasts in the mouth of cultivators actually refer to high-level demon beasts.

The Noh Speech Realm is the further evolution of the strength and spiritual intelligence of the demon beast, and this level of demon spiritual intelligence is no different from a human and can communicate in human language, so it is called the Noh Speech Realm.

After further cultivation, the demon can transform into a human form, which is completely no different from a human in some ways, and the demon of this level has been separated from the essence of the beast and is called the transformation realm.

In the subsequent Tribulation Realm, because the level was too high, even in the books of the Chen family, there were few relevant records.

At this time, Li Jianhe continued:

"In addition to this Water Yuan Bead, there are many other treasures in Xinghai Lake, so every time it is opened, it will attract a large number of cultivators to come. ”

At this time, Zhao Wan'er interrupted loudly:

"But I wonder what the opening of Xinghai Lake has to do with tonight's auction?"

Li Jianhe was not angry, pecked a sip of tea, and pretended to say in a deep voice:

"It has a lot to do with it, do you know that this Xinghai Lake is not something that can be entered casually, there is a strange prohibition there, only if you hold a special Dao weapon called Xinghai Ling, you can enter it, and the cultivation of the holder must also be below the Daoist realm. ”

"That means that at tonight's auction, there will be Xinghai Ling for sale?"

"That's right! The production requirements of this Star Sea Order are extremely demanding, and I heard that only eighty pieces can be made at a time. Because of its rare goods, it is sold at auction every twenty years. Presumably, tonight's auction must be very lively, not only the five great families, but also many cultivators from all over the world. I just wonder if you're interested in going along?"

"Of course you have to take a look at such a good liveliness!" Before everyone could reply, Zhao Wan'er hurriedly said, looking at Chen Ping while talking, Chen Ping had no choice but to shake his head helplessly:

"Okay, it's okay tonight anyway, so let's go and take a look." And I'm also looking forward to this Xinghai Lake, and I'm going to experience it. ”

The rest of the people had no objection, so everyone stayed in the Agarwood Building until dark, and then took Chen Ping's carriage together to the Wanbao Pavilion in Wuling City.

Ye Xiu had a deep impression of the prosperity there when he first came to Wanbao Pavilion in Qixia Town before, but when he came to Wanbao Pavilion in Wuling City today, he realized that it was just a remote branch of Wanbao Pavilion.

The Wanbao Pavilion here can be called truly magnificent, and the entire Wanbao Pavilion is built in an eighteen-story giant tower, which is simply brightly lit from the outside.

When you enter it, you will find that each floor of the space is very spacious, and there are all kinds of shops belonging to the Wanbao Pavilion.

The rest of the people were obviously regular visitors here, and they went straight to the auction without stopping, but to Ye Xiu's surprise, the auction hall was not upstairs, but underground, and the guards at the entrance were also extremely tight, and at least three of them were cultivators of the Taoist realm.

After Chen Ping and the others showed the VIP card of Wanbao Pavilion, they entered it very smoothly, several people are core members of the five major families, naturally they all have purple VIP cards, and the purple VIP card has two accompanying places, so Ye Xiu is also too lazy to show his VIP card, but directly entered the VIP room with Chen Ping and others as an accompanying person.

This underground auction hall is very large, a total of three floors, Chen Ping and a few people went straight to the second floor, on the second floor to find a good private room, according to Li Jianhe said that the third floor is only open to guests with golden VIP cards, the people who hold this kind of VIP cards are some high-level or advanced cultivators, in this Wuling City, only the heads of the five major families have this qualification.

After several people took their seats, the situation in the auction hall was unobstructed, and what made Ye Xiu's heart beat faster, Yue Ling'er actually chose to sit next to him.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise downstairs, several people were curious to look downstairs, only to see a large group of people walking downstairs, the crowd surrounded by five middle-aged people of the same age, it was the arrival of these five people, which caused a sensation downstairs.

Ye Xiu found that several people were all condensed in their aura, faintly revealing a coercion, and he recognized Chen Bufan among the five at a glance, guessing that the other four people must be the heads of the other four great families in this Wuling City. 、

The five of them greeted each other and went to their respective private rooms on the third floor, but as soon as the five of them went upstairs, there was a commotion downstairs.

Everyone looked for prestige, it turned out to be a hot beauty, the beauty was extremely exposed, a snow-white long leg with his movement, from time to time from the slit of the long skirt exposed, causing a sound of swallowing saliva downstairs, what is more concerned is that the girl's waist is wrapped around an arm-thick poisonous snake, a pair of cold snake eyes with a trace of cold light, from time to time to patrol everyone.

At this time, Yue Ling'er, who was originally sitting quietly next to Ye Xiu, suddenly spoke, and said in a cold voice:

"The Green Snake!"

After her reminder, Lijian River on the side also recognized the snake at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim:

"It turned out to be a green snake, this is a second-grade demon beast, could it be that this woman is a monk of the Imperial Spirit Sect?"

The beauty didn't seem to care about everyone's gaze at her, her demeanor shook her slender posture calmly, and she walked towards the third floor.

Just when the whole person's eyes were looking at the stairs, Ye Xiu was keenly aware that there were a few more black-robed people at the entrance downstairs, several of them were wrapped in black robes from head to toe, and their bodies exuded a strange aura, and the long-legged beauty also glanced downstairs when the black-robed man appeared, and there was a faint look of disgust on her originally smiling face.

After the beauty went upstairs, several black-robed people went up to the private room on the third floor silently. It's just that at this time, everyone is still immersed in the beauty of the previous beauty, and few people have noticed them.

After that, there were a lot of powerhouses in the second-grade Taoist realm, but they all went up to the second floor, according to the introductions of Chen Ping and Li Jianhe, most of these people were the principals of some medium-sized forces in Wuling City.

With the sound of a melodious bell, the entire auction hall fell silent all of a sudden, and a white-bearded old man behind the auction table, holding a dragon-headed cane, walked slowly to the front of the stage, raised his hand and saluted everyone, and then slowly said:

"You've been waiting for a long time, old Jin Feng, as the host of this auction, since everyone is here, then today's auction will begin!"

As soon as the old man's words came out, there was a burst of exchange of words in the audience:

"It turned out to be Jin Lao!"

"Since Jin Lao Du has personally come out, then this time it must be as rumored, this time it is really the right one!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that Jin Lao hasn't appeared in person for several years!"

......

Listening to the whispers downstairs, Li Jianhe said disdainfully:

"It's no wonder that these people are surprised, Jin Lao, as the speaker of Wanbao Pavilion in Wuling City, although he is old, he is a real master of the Daoist Realm! Presumably, this time it is also because of the Xinghai Order auction that he personally presided over it. ”

Hearing Li Jianhe's words, even Ye Xiu was slightly shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this old man, who seemed to be inconvenient to walk, turned out to be a master of the Dao Master Realm, no wonder Ye Xiu had secretly released his divine sense to investigate before, but he couldn't detect the aura on his body at all, it was really as the book said, the strong man of the Dao Master Realm sent and received the aura of his upper body freely, and he could restrain his aura at will.

Just when everyone was still discussing, the first lot had been carried to the stage by two strong men, and the silk covered on it was uncovered, and two long swords with strange shapes, one green and one red, were revealed in front of everyone!
