The annual Imperial City Auction is about to kick off, the Royal Auction House belongs to the Imperial Family, and it is also the most powerful of the four major guilds, every year on August 1st, a three-day grand auction will be held in Kyoto, which is the prosperity of the entire Stone Country, and the whole Kyoto is noisy.

Fenglin was still cultivating in the Grasshopper Palace, and when he left the United Front Pavilion, the four brothers agreed that they would meet at the auction in the Imperial City.

In the past few days, he has cultivated well, his depleted soul power is gradually recovering, the meridians in his body are also reconnecting, and everything is developing in a good direction. On the second day of waking up, Shi Huang and Prince Cheng came to visit in person, and after retiring everyone, Shi Huang and Feng Lin began a long sigh.

"Your name is Fenglin, a disciple of the Feng family in Mocheng?" asked Shi Huang in a low voice, his expression very strange.

Feng Lin's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Exactly." ”

"How did you and Feiyun meet?"

"Falling in love and having a good relationship, so they made friends. Fenglin replied in a low voice.

"Very good, you have contributed a lot to refining the pill this time, let's say, what reward do you want?"

"There is no need for a reward, as long as Your Majesty does not embarrass me and my family, I will be satisfied, where can I dare to ask for any reward?" Feng Lin said in a low voice, his face a little ugly.

"Why should I embarrass you?" Shi Huang smiled lightly, his smile incomprehensible.

Sighing, Feng Lin said in a low voice: "The villain disobeyed His Majesty, it was an unforgivable sin, and with His Majesty's holy grace, he was able to refine the Phoenix Blood Nirvana Pill and serve the royal family, but he just wanted to atone for his sins." ”

Shi Huang scolded: "Hehe...... Do you think you can deceive me with your rhetoric? You kid has three sins: first, you disrespect the royal family, and you dare to move even the phantom of the emperor, and disobey the emperor's authority; second, you are false and wrongful, and in front of the emperor, you still have one thing on the surface and one thing secretly; third, you have an invincible heart, you don't talk about power and wealth in your eyes, and you have no sense of reverence. Any one of them is enough to make you die ten times, how can you atone for your sins?"

Feng Lin smiled softly, with no joy or sadness on his face: "Your Majesty, is this trying to kill me?"

Shi Huang smiled coldly: "You are very smart, but you are annoying. Don't worry, not only will I not kill you, but I will reward you. ”

"Although you disdain, I will always reassure people. I want you to promise me one thing, and if you don't, I will take your life no matter what. ”

"Oh? Looks like I'm going to have to say yes. Feng Lin said softly, his face slightly cold.

"You have to say yes, because you have family and friends, that's what you value the most, isn't it?" Shi Huang smiled, his face full of pride.

Feng Lin's expression was slightly cold, and he frowned: "Say, what do you want me to promise you?"

"Eternal life shall not be an enemy of my royal family. ”

"Heart-to-heart, as long as the royal family does not embarrass my friends and family, I can promise you. Feng Lin whispered, staring at Shi Huang with his eyes fixed.

"I don't like the conditions you put on it, but I really want to agree to it. Shi Huang chuckled and shouted outside the door, "Come in." ”

I saw Prince Cheng leading a group of people from the Alchemist Guild to walk in.

"Fenglin listens to the order: I will make you the Southwest Uncle, reward you with one million red gold, fief Mocheng, give the palace, eat and caiyi, and guard the southwest for me, are you satisfied?"

"Very good, thank you, Your Majesty. Feng Lin bowed and thanked him.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Congratulations to Uncle Southwest." ”

Fenglin Fengbo didn't make him too happy, but the fiefdom Mocheng still surprised him, and he understood that this was just a show of grace by the Stone Emperor. Feng Bo was originally a great favor, but this fief has a profound meaning. Coupled with the previous warning from the Stone Emperor, it was obvious that all of Fenglin's team would be imprisoned in Mocheng, and he and his family would be wiped out once there was a change.

After the decree was announced, Emperor Shi and Prince Cheng and others left. Before leaving, Zhan Feiyun was also taken away.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhan Feiyun is indifferent by nature, has no quarrel with the world, and gets by, so in his opinion, his son is undoubtedly a little weak. However, this is the first time that he has taken the initiative to stand up so forcefully and intercede.

"Now it seems that this son is not so unsuccessful. Shi Huang muttered lightly and smiled slightly.

After everyone left, Dowling looked at Feng Lin and saw that he was not happy, so he couldn't help asking, "Master Feng, Your Majesty has given you the title of Earl of Southwest, why don't you look happy?"

"Huh" breathed a long sigh ......of relief, and Fenglin said in a low voice: "The president has misunderstood, Shihuang Houen, the kid is grateful, where is there anything unhappy." ”

Dao Lin was originally a human spirit, and when he heard Feng Lin say this, he had to smile awkwardly.

"The civil ministers are in the case, the generals are dying, the powerful are like dreams, and the king is at the snap of his fingers. ”

"Brother Dowling, be cautious. ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Today is a big day for Brother Feng, and I also have a big gift for my brother. Dowling said with a smile.

"Oh, what kind of gift?" Feng Lin asked with a smile.

"Guaranteed to keep you satisfied. Dowling said proudly, taking out a brocade box from the ring.

The brocade box was opened, and inside was a yellowed hide. Fenglin unfolded it and saw some strange symbols recorded on the animal skin, which looked very weird.

"Is this ......" Feng Lin asked strangely.

"This is a set of secret books for cultivating soul power, which not only records the method of soul power cultivation, but also is related to the use of soul power, simply put, controlling Horcruxes. These strange words represent different meanings, and the mystery of them needs to be understood by yourself. ”

Feng Lin looked at it for a while, and then felt a little dizzy again, now his soul power has not fully recovered, and his physical condition is also very poor, which is not suitable for cultivating now.

"I have been enlightened for three years, and these symbols are only fully understood, you are amazingly talented, and you will definitely comprehend them all, so this thing is in your hands, and you can really make the best use of it. Dowling said with a smile, his face full of antiquity.

"Brother Dowling, thank you!" Nodding, Feng Lin put away the hide.

Dowling didn't linger any longer, and after telling Fenglin to recuperate in peace, he left.

Feng Lin meditated cross-legged, his palms sealed, and the chaos exercises were running rapidly. The spiritual sense merged into the sea of knowledge, and began to study the symbols on the animal skin carefully.

"Ancient characters, how can you have such a thing in your kid's hand?" Feng Xiaoqi leaned over and asked curiously.

"A friend gave it, what ancient characters? Could it be that you know these symbols?" glanced at the jade fat unicorn, and Fenglin asked in a low voice.

"Of course, who am I, these ancient texts are prehistoric texts. Since Pangu the Great opened the world, this planet has gone through two epochs, the first is the order of the Five Realms founded by Pangu the Great, also known as the Genesis; It was the human emperor Jun Hao who took action to quell this catastrophe and reshape all things in heaven and earth, and then it was called the Creation of War Records. And the symbol on this animal skin is the text of the Genesis period, which is not known how many trillions of years ago. This animal skin is not simple, it has not rotted for so many years, if my guess is right, this animal skin must be a long-extinct Chaos Thunder Beast. Feng Xiaoqi explained carefully, looking at Feng Lin with disdain.

"Chaos Thunderbeast, what was it at that time, why had I never heard of it? Feng Lin was curious and puzzled.

"The Chaos Thunder Beast is the oldest group of beasts, this kind of demonic beast is hidden in the Chaos Thundercloud, although the cultivation is not very high, but the defense is extremely strong, and its skin is immortal. Unless it is a supreme dao soldier, it can't be cut at all. This kind of demonic beast is very rare, and it has the attribute of thunder and lightning, so it is called the Chaos Thunder Beast. You look at these symbols, they are clearly carved with Chaos Divine Thunder, and you can vaguely feel the breath of thunder and lightning, which is really rare. It's just that this word is a little ugly, vain and weak, like a girl writing it. The jade fat unicorn pointed to the words on the animal skin, and leaned forward to sniff it.

"Could it be that you really know these words?" Feng Lin said in surprise, his heart was excited, if Feng Xiaoqi recognized these words, then he would be able to fully grasp the soul power cultivation method recorded on this animal skin. The cultivation of soul power is different from aura, soul power is something that cannot be seen or touched, and it is extremely difficult to cultivate, so there are few cultivation methods that specifically target soul power.

"For the sake of your boy's anticipation, I'll tell you about it. What is recorded on this animal skin is a technique called Soul Extension Technique, which is specially used to cultivate soul power. This includes two articles, soul nourishment and soul refining, which are still very suitable for you......" Feng Xiaoqi explained carefully, and gradually translated the entire exercise to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin sank in the sea of knowledge, and began to cultivate according to Feng Xiaoqi's instructions, the cultivation of soul power is much slower than the cultivation of spiritual energy, and it is more difficult, even if it is the soul extension technique, it is just to point out the correct direction of soul power cultivation, so that the cultivator can avoid detours, and let the soul power improve faster. However, the soul power refining chapter recorded in it mainly tells how to use soul power, and there are also ways to control horcruxes, which makes Fenglin very interested.

Three days later, Feng Lin woke up early, this day was the day of the imperial city auction, many princes and nobles came to the auction hall very early, the auction was scheduled to start at noon, and the Alchemist Guild also had a special box, and the reason why Feng Lin came so early was to find the three senior brothers.

The huge palace is crowded with people, surrounded by more than 1,000 people, and the palace is hung with a vermilion sign, which reads: Imperial City Auction House. There were black cavalry who personally guarded the gate, and no one dared to trespass. There is a small door on the side of the gate, which is reserved for insiders and VIPs. There's no queue and no checks.

Before leaving, Dowling gave a token to Fenglin, this is the order of the guest secretary, the president of the dignified alchemist guild, and only hangs the identity of a guest in the imperial city auction hall, and gradually the power of the auction hall is huge, but with this token, it is much more convenient for Fenglin to enter and exit here.

After showing the token, Feng Lin quickly entered the auction hall, although Feng Lin came early, but at this time nearly half of the guests were already seated in the venue. There are 10 private rooms on the second floor of the auction house, which are occupied by major forces all year round. Holding the token, Fenglin was taken directly to the tenth box by the waiter.
