Chapter 70: The Auction Begins
There were still nine days before the auction was held in Qionghuatai, and during these nine days, Ling Zheng walked out of the small courtyard he rented from time to time, and while buying food for Ning Ling'er, he was also very careful to use the Demon Thousand Transformation Technique to transform into other people's appearances, purchasing waste pills every three days, and then transforming them into spirit pills.
Ning Ling'er's yin attribute is a mutation attribute, and most of its ** is not a bargain. Although there are a lot of second-grade spirit jade in Ling Zheng's storage ring, it is really hard to say whether it can reach enough to buy the Yin attribute **. In this case, it is better to use more black ancient mirrors to transform some high-quality elixirs.
Pills are always in demand, and they can easily be exchanged for spirit jade.
The waste pill was a good thing for Ling Zheng, but for other cultivators, it was a worthless waste. In this place, there are many alchemists gathered, and it is not difficult to receive the waste pill every once in a while.
According to Ning Qianhe's advice, Ling Zheng couldn't be more careful when he purchased the waste pill, and because he was cautious by nature, his kung fu was first-class, and he was not found to be abnormal.
In addition, Ling Zheng did not forget Ning Qianhe's advice, and took a Pure Yuan Pill every other day to purify the true yuan in his body. Although after he entered the Foundation Building Realm, the True Yuan was far purer than other True Cultivators, but since the purity of the True Yuan was related to the strength of the combat power, Ling Zheng also let go of his hand to squander it. After a few days of hard work, only half of the twelve Pure Yuan Pills on his body were left, and Ling Zheng's True Yuan was also refined to the point that any True Cultivator was terrified.
Hua Susu, who brought Ling Zheng and Ning Ling'er to this courtyard before, often came to visit the door, because the three law enforcement teams of Qionghuatai belonged to three masters, and every other month, the law enforcement teams would rotate. Hua Susu had already rested the day after Ling Zheng took Ning Ling'er into this Qionghuatai, so she was very leisurely.
Except for sleeping, Ning Ling'er, who is known as a little girl, does not have any good impression of Hua Susu, and can even be said to have a kind of hostility, which makes Ling Zheng, who has gradually changed her impression of Hua Susu, very headache. Hua Susu didn't care, she knew the little girl's thoughts, and the eyes of the two uncles and nephews were full of ambiguity that Ling Zheng couldn't understand.
But because of Ling Zheng's caution, Hua Susu inquired about his origin many times, but Ling Zheng led him elsewhere, and later, Hua Susu didn't bother to ask.
Seeing that there were still three days to go before the auction, Hua Susu visited again, just in time for Ling Zheng and Ning Ling'er to have dinner. Ling Zheng just symbolically politely said, but he didn't expect Hua Susu to nod and sit down, Ning Ling'er, the little girl who had just broken through to the sixth order of the Spirit Condensing Realm two days ago, still looked unhappy, Ling Zheng couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it in her eyes.
"In recent days, Qionghuatai has become more and more chaotic. Hua Susu took a glass of wine and said, "This auction has attracted a lot of powerhouses from the Lei Ze Domain, and several big forces that can be called are basically people who have appeared. ”
Ling Zheng was a little curious: "Because of what?"
Hua Susu pondered for a while, and then said, "Actually, it's not a big deal to sue you." A year ago, the three masters of my Qionghuatai got a treasure in an ancient ruin, which is said to be very promising, and it is likely to involve a piece of history that has been erased from ancient times. Fellow Daoists should know that in today's cultivation realm, even a piece of shit left over from ancient times will most likely make many cultivators crazy. It is precisely for this reason that a large number of cultivators flocked to Qionghuatai. ”
The analogy of anthoriflora is also very apt. However, after Ling Zheng heard the words "ancient ruins", his heart jumped suddenly, and he asked quietly: "Ancient ruins......?"
When Hua Susu heard this, she asked with some surprise: "Why, the ruins rebellion that broke out a year ago, Daoist friends don't know?"
Ling Zheng remained silent, and lied very naturally: "At that time, I was still practicing with my teacher in the mountains, and I had not entered the world. ”
Hua Susu nodded and said, "Then I'll tell you about it." A year ago, at the junction of the southern and central regions of the mainland, a piece of ancient temple ruins had been dug up by mortals by chance, and just by looking at the architectural style, we knew that it was left over from the ancient period. The news that the ruins of the ancient temple had been dug up soon spread throughout the continent, and the entire cultivation world couldn't sit still. ”
"But what's particularly strange is that a group of masters who have cultivated to the top in the cultivation realm, after searching the ancient hall, they found nothing. And the people who got things in that ancient hall were basically some monks with relatively low cultivation. ”
Speaking of this, Hua Susu's voice paused, and said: "In this Southern Region, I only heard that there is a small sect leader in the Flying Spirit Domain who has obtained a treasure, and then the three masters of my Qionghuatai have obtained a treasure together, as for the rest, I don't know." ”
"The small sect of the Flying Spirit Domain?"
Ling Zheng's brows jumped, remembering that Wang Xu, the acting head of the Burning Fire Gate, was plotted by his eldest disciple Lu Chen, and then the two of them died together and obtained the black ancient mirror by themselves.
Ling Zheng had heard the conversation between the two at the beginning, as if he had faintly mentioned that the black ancient mirror was a relic treasure.
Now that it was confirmed in Hua Susu's mouth, Ling Zheng finally knew the origin of the black ancient mirror.
The black ancient mirror sunk in the dantian trembled a few times, revealing a feeling that was very similar to excitement.
"That's right. However, the head of the small sect that got the treasure has not shown his true face, so after the matter is over, the strong people from all sides of the mainland have sent many powerful spies and dead soldiers into the Flying Spirit Domain to investigate secretly, but there is no result at all. ”
Ling Zheng was afraid for a while after hearing this, and secretly congratulated himself that he hadn't leaked the matter of the Black Ancient Mirror.
"Since it is a magic weapon obtained from the ancient ruins, why doesn't Qionghuatai keep it by himself?" Ling Zheng diverted the topic.
Hua Susu sighed: "The treasure brought out of the ruins can't be used at all. ”
"Can't use it?" Ling Zheng was a little surprised: "Why can't it be used?"
"In addition to being an errand boy in this Qionghuatai law enforcement team, I am also the internal servant of the three masters. Hua Susu said: "Therefore, I know more than others." ”
"The Three Masters once had a private conversation with me, saying that the treasure brought out of the ruins might be too mutilated to be used by cultivators. Hua Susu said, stretched out her hand and gestured: "That magic weapon is a relatively large mirror, like the kind of copper mirror placed on the women's dresser, there are nine grooves around it, there is nothing, I think it should be inlaid with something before." It may be that only by finding those things that were originally inlaid on it can the true power of that magic weapon be reflected. ”
Ling Zheng nodded, but he didn't take this matter to heart at all. Curious again, he asked, "Can I ask, why are you saying so much to me?"
"Maybe it's up to you to be more like. Hua Susu looked at Ling Zheng and smiled meaningfully: "You are very similar to the dead lover of the three masters. ”
Ling Zheng let out an "oh", thinking that this was not a good thing. The three masters of Qionghuatai, without exception, are all demon cultivators, and God knows if the three masters who are women will forcibly pull him to double cultivate like the Fengyue Witch.
"I forgot to ask, Daoyou came to this Qionghuatai this time, presumably to participate in this auction. Hua Susu was a little curious: "What do you want to buy here?"
Ling Zheng looked at the little girl who was drinking porridge, and felt that it was not a big deal, so he told the truth: "Oh, the main thing is to buy a Yin attribute ** for my niece, this girl has good qualifications, I don't want her to spend all her time on that smart trick." ”
"Oh?" Hua Susu's eyes lit up: "This little sister is a yin attribute spirit vein?"
The little girl said coldly: "Yes, auntie, what kind of spiritual vein are you?"
Hua Susu was choked by the little girl's "aunt".
After not chatting a word, Hua Susu left. Ling Zheng didn't know if she was hurt by the little girl's "aunt", but looking at the excitement in her eyes, it didn't seem like it.
Because the auction will be held tomorrow, there are more and more cultivators of the three sects and nine streams in Qionghua Taichung, and the atmosphere on the island is also subtle and weird. For the sake of safety and safety, Ling Zheng did not go out to buy waste pills.
After the little girl had eaten and drunk enough, she quietly cultivated for a while, and then went to bed early. After Ling Zheng finished cultivating, he didn't habitually study the "Gao Yuan Array Solution", but began to count the elixirs, spirit jade and other things in his ring that could be used at auction.
After sorting out his net worth to an approximate figure, Ling Zheng found that it was already the second half of the night. He walked into the house, covered the quilt with Ning Ling'er, the little girl who had become a big girl, wiped her saliva, and went back to the room and fell asleep deeply.
The night is over.
After having breakfast with Ning Ling'er, Ling Zheng casually told her a few words, and then ignored her big watery and resentful eyes, and left the courtyard alone after using the Phantom Thousand Transformation Technique to change her appearance.
There should be a lot of powerful characters in this auction, the little girl has the body of the Nine Yin, and its Yuan Yin is an excellent tonic for any cultivator. In case he was targeted by a cultivator who didn't pay attention to it, although Ling Zheng wouldn't hand over the little girl like a coward, it would definitely be difficult to solve it if something happened.
Therefore, Ling Zheng did not take Ning Ling'er to the auction and left it in the courtyard.
The venue of this auction is the Qionghuatai located on this Qionghua Island, which is an ancient bluestone platform that does not know how many years old, and it will be lively every ten years, but this time it is different from the past.
From a distance, around Qionghuatai, there are already many cultivators standing in the sky, densely packed, looking like a group of bees covering the sky and the sun from a distance.
Ling Zheng didn't know why he was so analogy in his heart, and after smiling self-deprecatingly, he also flew up in the sky and stood in mid-air. Because he saw that his appearance had changed to a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, Yukong stood in the crowd, inconspicuous.
Soon, three people walked on the empty Qionghua platform, two men and one woman. Two men, one looks like a scholar and is very elegant, and the other is very much like a demon cultivator, five big and three thick, one is dressed in red, and his eyes are sharp and direct.
As for the woman in black who is tall and enchanting, revealing a kind of mature and charming, and covering her face with a black gauze hat, she is the three masters of Qionghuatai.
As soon as the three owners arrived, the auction began.
Suddenly, Ling Zheng felt the sound of a pouting beside him, Ling Zheng turned his head to look, and saw a short and thin old man in ragged clothes without the demeanor of a monk sitting beside him, smiling at him, revealing a mouth of big yellow teeth.
Ling Zheng's nerves tensed instantly.
