CHAPTER XXXVIII

"Two distinguished guests, please go here."

After Qin Jianglan showed the invitation, Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly stepped forward, spoke respectfully, nodded and motioned for them to go with him.

Xiao Er is just an ordinary person, and he is extremely afraid of these cultivators who can call the wind and rain and control the clouds and fog, and he only dares to look at the shoes they are wearing, and does not dare to move up, for fear of offending them and losing his life.

The invitation card Qin Jianglan showed was the invitation to the wing room in the Tianzi area on the second floor, and the Tianzi area was the most luxuriously decorated wing room on the first floor of the sky, which was not only spacious and comfortable, with a wide field of vision, but also free refreshments.

After someone entered, the wing room immediately activated the defensive formation to prevent the guests from being attacked by unknown attacks due to temporary distraction while concentrating on the auction items.

Qin Jianglan has always disliked staying with strangers for a long time, and after Xiao Er led them to the door of the wing, he let him leave, only sitting in it with Lin Huaizhu and looking towards the auction table.

At this moment, the auction has not yet started, and the lobby downstairs is not yet full, Qin Jianglan took a sip of the tea that Lin Huaizhu poured for him, and casually glanced at the album she was looking at at the auction for the distinguished guests in the Tianzi District, and did not make a sound.

Suddenly, Xiao Er, who was in charge of delivering refreshments, touched the prohibition outside the door, and the token in Qin Jianglan's hand flashed, and the prohibition at the entrance of the wing room was opened, and Xiao Er came in with refreshments.

Although this little second is also a mortal, he has a lively personality and is also a person who can read people, he saw that Qin Jianglan's temperament was a little colder, and the expression on his face was soft, not like a violent temper, so he chatted with him familiarly.

"Where did Xianjun come from?"

Qin Jianglan glanced at him in surprise, then lowered his eyes slightly, and said lightly, "Yun Yao." ”

Yun Yao is located in the north of the Four Seas Continent near the central region of a city, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the materials are rich, the Taichu Gate is on the Qinghe Mountain Range, and the Qinghe Mountain belongs to Yun Yao City.

"Yun Yao is good!" Xiao Er immediately slapped his thigh and said enviously, "It is said that Yun Yao is a beauty, and the women there are all flowers and moons, and their faces are hibiscus, just like ...... It's like ......"

He looked at Lin Huaizhu, who raised his head and looked at him curiously, and immediately pointed out: "Just like this fairy!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lin Huaizhu was not happy for a while, and blurted out: "Someone with a look like me is also one of the best in Yunyao City, how can everyone be like me!" ”

"Yes! That's what the fairy said! Xiao Ermian immediately changed his words: "It's the villain's clumsiness, the fairy's appearance can only exist in the sky, how can those ordinary women on the earth be compared with the fairy!" ”

Lin Huaizhu was satisfied, and he was in a good mood and rewarded him with a medium-grade spirit stone as a reward.

"Thank you, fairy! The fairy is not only beautiful and kind, but also very compatible with this immortal, the two of them stand together, it is simply a talented and beautiful woman......"

The more Qin Jianglan listened, the more wrong he became, and he hurriedly gave him the tip to stop him from going on: "Ahem, we don't need you to take care of it here for the time being, so let's go to someone else's side to take a look." ”

"Yes, yes......" Xiao Er left contentedly with the spirit stone in his hand, with a smile on his face.

A medium-grade spirit stone is enough for a family of three for more than two months' rations, and he got two more from Qin Jianglan, which means that he doesn't need to worry about his livelihood for half a year, how can he be in a bad mood.

Qin Jianglan glanced at Lin Huaizhu, who was looking down at the atlas again, and shook his head helplessly and amusedly.

He knew that Lin Huaizhu liked to listen to others praise her, no matter what it was, as long as someone praised her, she could be happy for a while, look at her appearance of happily looking at the atlas, this little two, it can be regarded as choosing the right person to praise.

There are a lot of things in the album, most of them are materials for elixirs and refining weapons, Lin Huaizhu looked through the pages carefully, and when he saw that in the end, he closed the book without any fluctuation in his heart, and reached out to pour himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

She had long known that she would not be able to meet the elixir needed to reshape Yin Li's body so easily, but she still couldn't help but hold on to a glimmer of hope to take a look.

Now, judging from the results, it is also expected.

After all, this method of reshaping the body was seen by Yin Li from an old demon cave mansion, not to mention the effect, it is not easy to search for dozens of flavored medicines, many of them are only heard of, and they have never seen the elixir, which shows that the difficulty is quite deep.

Qin Jianglan watched her put down the album with no interest, but he was not surprised.

Taichumen is one of the three major sects of the Immortal Sect, with abundant resources, and Lin Huaizhu is a true disciple, and the preparations required for cultivation are prepared by him, the master, who neither learns alchemy, nor refining, so naturally she can't look down on these.

The auction is brightly lit, and it is not a candle flame used in the secular world to illuminate it, but a hexagonal magic vessel for Minghui, as long as a spiritual stone is placed in the middle groove to bring light, it is a lampstand used by cultivators, all of which are inlaid with Minghui on the base, and then covered with a lampshade, so that the light that comes out is both soft and bright.

Qin Jianglan glanced at the lobby, quickly retracted his gaze, and sat silently.

In the past three hundred years, he has rarely left the Taichu Gate, and he has not known many monks, and there is not even a single person he knows at this moment.

Qin Jianglan picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes, and took a sip with a faint expression.

"Huh?" Lin Huaizhu was curious to look at the monks downstairs, but he didn't expect to see a few familiar children of the family, so he couldn't help but speak out at the moment.

"How?" When Qin Jianglan heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, but he looked at it and didn't find anything abnormal.

"Master, do you know the Jimo family?" Lin Huaizhu retracted her gaze, remembering that the reason why she had never doubted the identity of Jimo Weisheng was precisely because Qin Jianglan had never mentioned a single star, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Qin Jianglan bowed his head.

Lin Huaizhu asked again: "That junior brother is also from the Jimo family, does the master know?" ”

Qin Jianglan paused before he said, "I can roughly guess it." ”

Lin Huaizhu nodded, looked downstairs thoughtfully, and stopped talking.

Since the master said so, most of them have been confirmed, but he didn't mention it, thinking that it was the meaning of Senior Brother Jimo, then she would treat it as if she didn't know.

As soon as the time for the auction began, the monks were almost seated, and the steward in charge of the auction immediately began without hesitation.

There was a long wooden table on the auction table, and the items waiting to be auctioned were placed on the table, and the auctioneer went up to the table and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and the noisy lobby fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on the items on the table, weighing the price in their hearts.

The first auction item is a Silver Moon Snake, a third-order demon beast, both Inner Pill and Blood can be refined, but this is not the true value of the Silver Moon Snake, its real rarity lies in its tendons, which are very tough, and are a good material for refining whips.

The Silver Moon Snake was packed in a transparent box, curled up in a ball and lying on its stomach weakly, it looked like it was drugged, as soon as it appeared, the lobby immediately sounded the sound of chattering, either the monk who asked for other people's opinions, or gave others opinions, in short, the auctioneer saw that everyone was almost discussed, so that the spirit qi spread his voice throughout the entire first floor of the sky and said: "The third-order Silver Moon Snake, the starting price is eight hundred spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than one hundred spirit stones." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately made a bid.

A young man shouted loudly, and the sign in his hand instantly lit up, "Nine hundred spirit stones." ”

Another male cultivator also shouted, "A medium-grade spirit stone." ”

The exchange ratio of the spirit stones in the cultivation realm is one thousand, one thousand lower-grade spirit stones for one medium-grade spirit stone, and one thousand middle-grade spirit stones for one high-grade spirit stone.

Although the Silver Moon Snake is useful all over its body, the grade is too low, so it is suitable for monks in the foundation building period, so the price is sold when it comes to a medium-grade spirit stone plus five hundred grade spirit stones.

Lin Huaizhu looked down at the album and turned to the second page, the second page of the album was auctioned as an elixir.

The second item was lifted up, covered with a black cloth, and the auctioneer was not in a hurry to lift it, he slowly glanced at the monks sitting in the hall, and shouted loudly: "A sixth-order purple leaf cloud fruit, the starting price is five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and the price increase shall not be less than fifty medium-grade spirit stones at a time!" ”

"Huh?" Lin Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head again and took a closer look at the booklet, and found that the second page on it did say that it was a low-grade knot pill.

"The brochure is prepared in advance, but if there is any temporary change, we will also adjust the items and order of the auction slightly." Qin Jianglan saw her look of confusion and puzzled, and picked up the teacup and explained.

Lin Huaizhu nodded and said, "Oh, so that's the case." ”

In the wing, Lin Huaizhu and Qin Jianglan finished exchanging, and when the auctioneer's voice fell, the lobby downstairs was as noisy as the sea stirred up a thousand waves.

"Sixth-order herbs are very rare, but it's not nothing, a sixth-order purple leaf cloud fruit actually costs five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, you guys are too dark!"

"That's it!"

"In my opinion, everyone should stop shooting, and see who he sells to in the end!"

The protests below came one after another, and they were all stunned by the price.

Although it is not easy to cultivate a sixth-order elixir, the sect that is dominated by pills can produce sixth-order elixir every year, and the number is scarce, but it has never been broken, and a sixth-order purple-leaf cloud fruit will start with five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, which is too dark!

"Everyone, please be calm." The auctioneer was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "Expensive, there is a reason for it, I believe you will understand why it is so expensive after seeing this purple leaf cloud fruit." ”

After speaking, he opened the black covering above, and everyone's eyes moved to this purple leaf cloud fruit, and he was speechless, and the lobby was quiet in an instant, as if he could even hear the sound of a needle falling.

This is a Purple Leaf Cloud Fruit that is about to ascend to the seventh order!

Purple Leaf Cloud Fruit below the sixth order is not rare, but the Purple Leaf Cloud Fruit of the seventh order has never heard of it, and now there is one in front of them, and everyone's eyes are wide open, for fear that they will miss a little.

One of the tall monks who had reacted the most strongly muttered discontentedly, "...... Although it is a purple leaf cloud fruit that is about to rise to the seventh order, it is not that it has not yet been successfully advanced! Who knows if there will be any unexpected failure to advance after the shooting, and these five hundred medium-grade spirit stones will be lost! ”

Because it was very quiet at this time, even if he whispered it, it was clearly heard by others, the auctioneer looked at the audience and smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, it is precisely because it has not yet fully advanced successfully, so it only starts with five hundred medium-grade spirit stones, if it really rises to the seventh order, the price is not as simple as doubling." ”

Cultivating a seventh-order elixir is no longer just about difficulty and skill, not only about heart, but also about luck.

The more experienced the cultivation experience, the better the pharmacist can grasp the best opportunity for the elixir to grow and advance, which is also a necessary condition for cultivating the fifth-order and sixth-order elixir.

But the seventh order is different, even if a high-level pharmacist has a perfect sense of mind and can cultivate the best sixth order, he doesn't dare to say that he will definitely be able to cultivate the seventh order, even if the sixth-order elixir cultivated by this pharmacist is close to perfection, he may not be able to rise to the seventh order.

The Purple Leaf Cloud Fruit in front of him was already beginning to advance, and once it advanced, it would either succeed or fail and return to the sixth order, and it would never stop halfway, so the auction would open such a high price to bet on that possibility.

As soon as the auctioneer's words came out, everyone fell silent.

The sixth-order elixir basically started with the auction of one hundred medium-grade spirit stones, and the transaction price was about three hundred, and if the final purchase was still a sixth-order elixir, it would be a big loss.

But if you can rise to the seventh order, then it is not a matter of price, it is a price and no market, so you have to have a price above the price of a high-grade spirit stone.

It is said that fifty years ago, there was a seventh-order elixir that sold for the price of a hundred high-grade spirit stones, which was 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones!

How many monks on the scene were excited, their eyes were full of greed, this bet is very cost-effective, five hundred medium-grade spirit stones and one hundred thousand medium-grade spirit stones, each is half of the probability, I want to know which one to choose!

"However, since it is possible to upgrade to a seventh-order elixir, why is the starting price so low?" A faint voice suddenly sounded.

Lin Huaizhu took a look and found that it was one of the teenagers of the Jimo family, and his bone age should be less than twenty years, so it was the first time he went out to practice.

The auctioneer looked at him with a smile and deliberately said to the audience: "What this little friend said is that if everyone needs it, we can't increase the starting price." ”

As soon as these words came out, some people were immediately unhappy, everyone was eager to talk about the price, he was good, but the price was too high, I don't know which one of the sons and brothers who didn't eat fireworks in the world ran to make trouble, and some people shouted directly at the moment.

"Where did the yellow-haired boy come from, he didn't even grow his hair and talked nonsense! You know what, the price is just right! ”

"I think it's the son of a rich and noble family, I really don't understand the rules, what price is set at the auction, what price is set, how can you point fingers here!"

"The young man's cultivation is rampant, everything you have now is just relying on your family background, if we also have the same wealth and wealth as you, I am afraid that we will be more generous than you!"

The young man's face was flushed and helpless, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

The rest of the Jimo family were furious, stood up angrily, and just wanted to find a few people who had just spoken, but were stopped by Jimo Zizhen.

He looked at everyone and said coldly: "My brother is still young, and he is about to offend you for a while, so please Haihan." ”

When Ji Mo Ziyuan heard this, he was so anxious behind him that he was about to speak, but he was stopped by the person next to him in time, and hurriedly handed him a color, signaling him to listen to what Ji Mo Zizhen said first.

Ji Mozizhen's eyes swept around everyone coldly, and said in a calm voice: "But please forgive me for saying one more word below, I think that what my brother said is not unreasonable, but looking at your annoyed looks, I think that our brothers and this auction are really not in tune, then we can only leave the venue first and not disturb you...... What a dream! ”

The sixth-order elixir began to evolve, saying that it was half of the probability, but in fact, it was mostly a sure thing, that is, Mo Zizhen knew that there was fraud in it after thinking about it carefully, but he was just made a fuss by everyone, so he didn't want to remind them, so he led those people to leave together.

In front of everyone's eyes, a group of people from the Jimo family turned around and left the venue without hesitation, and there was silence in the auction.

After a while, someone scolded in a low voice: "Bah, isn't it just a group of rich kids, what's there to be proud of?!" ”
