Chapter 390: Borrowed
The waves above the river are rolling, and the surging river is rushing downstream, and the sound is like thunder. Such a large river is a miracle of nature.
This is the largest river in the cultivation realm, and its name is called the Great River!
Xue Nu looked at the rushing and roaring river in front of him, remembered the events of the year again, his little face turned slightly pale, and he held Luo Chen's hand more tightly.
"Xue Nu, where you used to be a dead soldier, was it around here?" Luo Chen looked at Da Jiang and said in a low voice.
"It shouldn't be around here. Xue Nu shook his head, "If I were here, I would have been impressed." Besides, it's relatively remote, and there are no big cities around. ”
"Oh!" Luo Chen nodded, "Then let's go to Taiyi City first, I hope to get a little news." ”
Without a trace, he let go of Xue Nu's little hand, and Luo Chen walked towards Taiyi City.
Xue Nu pouted in dissatisfaction and quickly followed.
......
Luo Chen came to Xiaozhou to look for the Soul Control Pavilion and Zhao Yue'er, and the only clue was the memory of Xue Nu. His plan was to take the snow slave along the river to find the place where the snow slave was transformed into a dead soldier first. It is not the old lair of the Soul Control Pavilion, but also an important stronghold of the Soul Control Pavilion.
However, it is definitely not easy to find a mysterious force like the Soul Control Pavilion, and Luo Chen is also mentally prepared for this. Taiyi City is a big city in Xiaozhou, and cultivators gather, and when they enter the city, they may get some other clues about the Soul Control Pavilion.
Taiyi City is also square, with a length and width of 5,000 miles. Such a city is much larger than the territory of Qixia Sect at the beginning. For such a large city, its prosperity goes without saying.
The third-level sect that occupies Taiyi City, whose name is Taiyi Sect, is said to be an ancient sect that has been passed down from ancient times, and its strength is extremely powerful. Of course, the mountain gate of Taiyi Sect is not the entire city, but a very large area in the center of the city.
Xiaozhou is already extremely rich in the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and in such an ancient city, the concentration of spiritual power of heaven and earth is several times higher than that outside the city. Therefore, in this city, it can really be said that there are strong people like clouds, and there are many martial artists like carp crossing the river.
Luo Chen felt the aura of the martial artists in the city, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly. It is worthy of Xiaozhou, and it is completely different from Sichuan Zhou.
Like Chuanzhou City, Taiyi Sect is extremely strict about the battles in Taiyi City. Martial artists are not allowed to act at high speed in the city, and it is forbidden to fight, if there is a grudge that cannot be resolved, then there are special martial artists in the city to fight to the death. In general, it is relatively safe to live in Taiyi City. Of course, everything is relative, no matter how powerful the martial artists of the Taiyi Sect are, it is impossible to control the entire Taiyi City, if a strong person kills someone and leaves, the Taiyi Sect may not be able to find out who it is. So even if you don't have enough strength in the city, it's better not to be too arrogant.
After Luo Chen entered Taiyi City with Xue Nu, he went directly to the west city of Taiyi City.
This is an area that belongs to the martial artist, with a radius of hundreds of miles, separated by a separate one. Within this range, the spiritual power of heaven and earth is a little stronger than elsewhere, and it is obvious that Taiyi City has also spent a lot of effort in this area. Within the area, there are the residences of martial artists. Compared to the rest of the city, it is much quieter and the streets are much less crowded.
In the center of this area, there is a special trading area, which is quite lively. From Dao pattern suits to pill exercises, there is also an endless stream of martial artists who come and go shopping.
After Luo Chen arrived here, he first went to spend five million yuan to buy a manor within a radius of miles. Such a manor is considered medium in this area. The price of five million yuan stone is completely affordable for Luo Chen. After all, Qixia Sect had just occupied the Heavenly Sword Gate and robbed the Heavenly Sword Gate's treasury, and Luo Chen was not short of Yuan Shi now.
After settling into his accommodation, Luo Chen took Xue Nu out of the manor and went to the trading area where the martial artists gathered, hoping to get some clues about the Soul Control Pavilion.
When he arrived here, Luo Chen walked around for a while, and couldn't help but have the urge to spend money. After all, many of the things here were things he had never seen before.
However, those things were quite novel, but they didn't help him improve his strength, so Luo Chen didn't buy what he wanted in the end, and Xue Nu bought a few ornaments, of course, it was Luo Chen who paid for it.
Turning the corner, Luo Chen's eyes fell on a magnificent and luxurious shop.
"Puppet ......"
Luo Chen walked in with Xue Nu and took a look at the goods here. Unlike the puppets seen in Commerce Town, the golems sold here are of a higher level, with the lowest being a first-tier martial artist and the highest being a fourth-level martial artist.
The fourth-level martial artist is equivalent to the ancestor-level figure of the sect in the second-level sect, but in the shop in Xiaozhou, it can be openly bought and sold.
However, although it is available, the price is also staggeringly high. The price of a second-level puppet is something that Luo Chen can't afford now, let alone a third-level puppet and a fourth-level puppet.
The waiter of the store saw that Luo Chen and the others were brightly dressed, thinking that they had come to the customer, and introduced the benefits of the puppet with a courteous face, and praised their puppet as rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth. However, seeing that the two of them were just looking, they didn't mean to buy, and their faces were also stupid.
"The two, in the entire Xiaozhou, only our family sells this kind of martial artist-level puppet, if you want to buy such a puppet anywhere else, you will definitely not be able to buy it. This kind of puppet is a remnant of ancient times, and if you damage one, you will lose one, and the price will only get more and more expensive. The waiter yawned and said lazily.
"I heard that there is a kind of ever-changing puppet, do you have it here?" Luo Chen's heart moved slightly, and he asked.
"Changeable puppet, that's a legendary existence, I'm afraid there is no more on the continent now!" the waiter shook his head and said, "Even if there is such a thing, which family would be willing to sell it?"
"So you don't have anything here?" Luo Chen said.
The waiter looked at Luo Chen and the others, and said, "Actually, this puppet is just a plaything, and in terms of strength, it is not as good as the martial artist puppet here here. If you really like to enjoy it, no one will buy this kind of dead thing, those rich old men are going to buy a dead man you like to put in the house, and the enjoyment is not as good as a puppet?"
Xue Nu listened, and bit her lip hard, her little face turned slightly pale. Luo Chen thought of Zhao Yue'er's possible tragic fate, and his heart trembled.
"Speaking of dead soldiers, it's a coincidence, there are several young dead soldiers auctioned in Wanbao Building in the city tomorrow, if you are interested, you might as well go and see it. The waiter seemed to remember something, and said in a loud voice.
"Dead Auction?" Luo Chen's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice, "What time?"
"It's tomorrow night, well, that's Wanbao Tower. The waiter pointed to a huge building not far from the door, "Auctions of dead soldiers are not common in Taiyi City, and if the two of you go tomorrow, you will definitely see many real powerhouses." Adults are comparing face, and it will be very interesting to watch those adults compete with each other for wealth. ”
"Tomorrow night?" Luo Chen nodded, "Thank you!"
Dropping a 10,000 yuan stone card for the continent's general yuan stone, Luo Chen walked out of the puppet store with Xue Nu.
Instead of continuing to wander around the trading place, Luo Chen directly took Xue Nu back to the small manor he bought, waiting for the auction of Wanbaolou on the second day.
The next night, Wanbao Tower.
Within the range of perception, there are extremely powerful aura, there are too many martial artists here, there are also many martial artists above the fourth level, and even some, Luo Chen can't feel the aura of these people at all, there is no doubt that they are at least sixth-level martial artists.
"It is worthy of Xiaozhou, the first place in the world!" Luo Chen said secretly in his heart.
Sitting in the Wanbao Building, he and Xue Nu were a second-story martial artist and a third-story martial artist, which was extremely inconspicuous, and no one looked at them at all.
Luo Chen now has a relatively good understanding of the forces on the mainland, and knows that this Wanbaolou is a first-class chamber of commerce on the mainland, specializing in selling all kinds of things needed by martial artists, all over the twenty-eight ancient cities in the world. Particularly rare items are auctioned at regular auctions. And tonight is going to be such an auction.
However, even in such auctions, the auction of dead men is not common. There was news from Wanbaolou that there would be several dead men auctioned tonight, and after the news spread, it attracted all forces to come for a while.
Not everyone can enter the auction hall of this Wanbao Building, and the small box that Luo Chen and Xue Nu bought actually cost 50,000 yuan. There are hundreds of large and small boxes in the hall, and the cost of this box alone, Wanbaolou's income is probably hundreds of millions of stones.
After Luo Chen and Xue Nu entered the auction hall, they stayed quietly in their own boxes, waiting for the auction to begin, while the other martial artists were not, the familiar martial artists gathered together and talked to each other, such an occasion was also a rare place for them to make friends and get closer.
"It's Feng Guang! Feng Guang of Taiyi Sect!"
"He's here tonight, too!"
"It seems that there must be something extremely valuable in tonight's auction!"
In the hall, there was a slight commotion. Luo Chen glanced at it, and saw several young men and women wearing Taiyimen costumes walking over with arrogant faces.
Surrounded by the crowd was a tall young man. The young man was extremely handsome, his expression was cold, and his whole body exuded an extremely cold aura, as if it was a piece of ancient ice that was difficult to dissolve for thousands of years.
"Feng Guang, ranked second among the disciples of the Taiyi Sect, his strength is a sixth-level martial artist, second only to Du Yue, who is ranked first. Luo Chen also remembered the information about Feng Guang in his heart.
Somewhat similar to the Flying Emperor Sect in Chuanzhou City, the personal disciples of the Taiyi Sect are also very likely to become the next sect master. Feng Guang ranked second among the personal disciples of the Taiyi Sect, and if he could surpass Du Yue, who was ranked first, in strength, he could be called the next Taiyi Sect Master. Such an existence, with strong strength and noble status, will naturally be held high by everyone.
According to the information obtained by Luo Chen, Feng Guang once entered an ancient ruin, and occasionally had an adventure, and obtained a kind of ice attribute exercise, and the spiritual power in the attack contained the power of ice, which was extremely powerful. In addition, he has an indifferent temperament, does not smile or smile, and looks cold when he sees anyone, so he has also earned the name of "Iceman".
When I saw it today, the Iceman was indeed as human as his name.
"Iceman" Feng Guang didn't have any expression on his face, and went directly to the box with the largest area and the best position in the hall and sat down, silent. And the disciples of the Taiyi Sect around him also looked serious and silent.
The martial artists who participated in the auction arrived one after another, and after a while, another group of people appeared, which once again caused a commotion among the martial artists.
It was a young woman dressed in white, with a fluttering skirt and a faint pride on her cold face.
Around the woman, there were also seven or eight men and women in the same costume who were like stars holding the moon, and after a few people came in, they didn't look at the others, but went straight to another large box and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.
"Tianyue Sect, Yan Xiaoxiao. Luo Chen also recognized the woman.
Wushuang City is another ancient city in Xiaozhou, and the three-story sect Tianyue Sect, which occupies Wushuang City, is also a sect that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Yan Xiaoxiao ranked third among the disciples of the Tianyue Sect, and the top two were her two senior brothers, Yan Tiangang and Yan Disha. The three brothers and sisters have all become the personal disciples of the Tianyue Sect, so she naturally has a reason to be proud.
Of course, with her age, the strength of a sixth-level martial artist was enough to make her proud.
There was no doubt that Feng Guang and Yan Xiaoxiao were the focus of attention in the auction hall, and compared to them, those mysterious powerhouses also seemed to be overshadowed. Almost everyone's eyes fell on the box where the two of them were.
With the status of the two of them, I am afraid that the ordinary auction items can no longer arouse the interest of the two, and there is no doubt that the goal of the two is to auction the last dead man.
After a while, a fat man with a big belly walked in, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and seemed to be walking very hard. Seeing this fat man, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Borrowed, borrowed!" said the fat man grinned, and walked to a small box and sat down. He was wearing a shabby Taoist robe, and he sat there, almost filling the entire box.
The aura emanating from the fat man's body is not huge, that is, the appearance of a fourth-level martial artist, and it is not very prominent in the entire auction hall. But when he appeared here, he instantly covered up Feng Guang and Yan's small demeanor, and became the only focus in the hall.
Feng Guang's gaze looked over, and his cold face couldn't help but have a trace of emotional fluctuations. And Yan Xiaoxiao also glanced at the fat man, and then turned his head away, looking as usual.
