Unlike the man's resolute countenance, what he thought in his heart was not as bold and pure as his appearance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This person is Yan Ming, the city lord of Flame City, and the father of Yan Xiong, who appeared in Xuedan Pavilion before. The barrier-breaking pill he was holding in his hand at this time was the one that Yan Xiong had brought back from the Xuedan Pavilion.

City Lord Yan Ming's attainments in the Dan Dao are not high, but he has also personally taken a barrier-breaking pill refined by Shi Tuo.

For him, who was well-informed, the powerful medicinal power of the Haloless Extreme Pill naturally made him aware of the extraordinaryness of the pill in his hand.

At the same time, he, like the high-level of other family forces in the city, has a heart for Shi Tuo.

With the huge power of the City Lord's Mansion, it is much better than those family forces in the city, even if he recommends Shi Tuo and attracts the attention of other forces, he has a certain degree of confidence in controlling Shi Tuo under his own power.

It's just that Yan Ming, as the city lord, although he looks quite similar to his son Yan Xiong, at first glance he is a bold and straightforward person with extraordinary bearing. However, his style of action is far less bold than that of Yan Xiong.

In other words, Yan Ming's ambition is very big, and his courage lies in the plan for the huge goal, but in terms of details, he seems to be a little unable to let go.

Even if Yan Ming knows that he is competitive, he is sure that he can retain Shi Tuo. But in order to minimize trouble, he didn't want to be noticed.

Originally, the alchemist he was going to recommend had the hope of performing well in the Inner Realm Danbi, but it was impossible for the pill to be amazing.

This is also in line with their status in the Flame City and the entire Fire Yuan Country. Then, his goal of gradually expanding the power of Flame City would not be discovered by the other cities of the Fire Yuan Kingdom.

If the City Lord's Mansion recommended Shi Tuo, although he was sure to keep him under the striving, it might attract the attention of other cities, which would lead to the exposure of his target.

Although the major cities are located in the Fire Yuan Kingdom, for the expansion of a certain city, these various forces that are usually peaceful on the surface will try their best to hinder the expansion of the Fire City.

For this reason, what City Lord Yan Ming thought in his heart was not to recommend Shi Tuo to participate in the alchemy level assessment, but to directly recruit him as a Dan Master of the City Lord's Mansion in private.

In this way, the City Lord's Mansion would not only be able to obtain a highly skilled Dan Master, but also not affect his original plan.

Yan Ming's originally tightly knit brows stretched slightly, but his temperament was much calmer than his appearance.

Maybe it was because he had experienced too many things, or because he had been in a high position for a long time as the lord of a city, and his temperament had changed, and Yan Ming, who had made up his mind in his heart, did not act immediately.

And the attitude of the City Lord's Mansion towards Shi Tuo was also in Yan Ming's wait-and-see, temporarily falling into uncertainty.

And when the high-level leaders of the major forces in Flame City were hesitating for Shi Tuo and his Xuedan Pavilion, another thing in the city attracted the attention of various family forces, and that was the news of the auction that had spread from Huayun Dan Pavilion.

Although there is only one auction hall set up by the City Lord's Mansion in Flame City, there is never a shortage of auctions on weekdays, and there is basically one every three days.

It's just that the auction led by a big force in the city, Huayun Dange, is rare in several years.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knew that Huayun Dange initiated this auction in order to divert the attention of the monks and appease the previous business mistakes.

But for them, it doesn't matter, and they're happy to focus their attention on the auction that will take place in half a month.

Because they know that there will be many rare treasures at auction. The grade of this auction will be several grades higher than the usual ones.

There are often family children in and out of the Xuedan Pavilion, and the news is naturally well-informed about the major events in the city.

Although Shi Tuo didn't take the initiative to inquire about these things, the monks who came to talk about it let him know about the auction.

As soon as he heard that this auction was of a high grade, and it was initiated by Huayun Dange, Shi Tuo became interested.

Although he seemed to be disdainful of Huayun Dange, in his heart, he was well aware of the profound heritage of these huge Dange forces.

And the auction jointly organized by such a Great Dan Pavilion is naturally indispensable for the exchange of treasures of the Dan Dao.

Although Shi Tuo's Qi Condensation Alchemy is peculiar and his alchemy skills are good, he knows that his background is insufficient. For such a Dandao exchange conference in the essence of the word, he will naturally not let it go.

This can be regarded as Shi Tuo's preparation for dealing with the inner realm of Danbi half a year later, he wants to take advantage of this auction to buy some precious medicinal materials, or Dandao classics.

Of course, if he encountered other cultivation resources that were useful to him, he would naturally not let them go.

Half a month has passed in a flash, and Xuedan Xiaoge has been operating steadily and calmly. On the night of the auction, Shi Tuo took the hundreds of thousands of spirit stones accumulated by Xuedan Xiaoge since its operation, and came to the Yanhuo Auction Hall in the city with Blood Veil.

"The entrance fee to this auction is really not low, one person will cost a thousand spirit stones. If it weren't for the fact that Xuedan Xiaoge had earned a lot of spirit stones during this time, I think this entrance fee would have made us feel pain for a while. Blood Sha watched Shi Tuo take out two thousand spirit stones and handed them to the caretaker of the auction hall, and said softly.

"This can be regarded as a screening method, after all, there is no monk who does not want to see this kind of auction that is rare in several years.

It's just that the space in this auction hall is limited after all, and it can't accommodate too many monks. As a result, those monks who couldn't afford to pay the spirit stones, or who were unwilling to pay the spirit stones, were automatically screened out.

What's more, this is also a big income for the Yanhuo Auction House, and to hold such a high-end auction, there must be a lot of investment in all aspects of the Yanhuo Auction House.

Just to maintain the order of the auction site, it is estimated that the Yanhuo auction hall will have to pay a lot of benefits and let many masters come. ”

Shi Tuo heard the exclamation of the blood yarn and said his speculation. Although he said so, he also knew how lucrative it would be for the Yanhuo Auction House to hold such an auction.

And Shi Tuo could also think that although the high entrance fee screened some people, there would still be many monks who would be turned away, so he and Blood Yarn came to the venue early.

At this time, the two entered the auction hall, and there were only dozens of people scattered in the huge venue. However, on the second floor, there was already a lot of movement.

Shi Tuo's divine sense scanned the past and found some family children that he had seen on weekdays. He knew that the box on the second floor was for people with powerful backgrounds in the city.

And ordinary monks like Shi Tuo and Blood Veil, even if they paid a large amount of spirit stones, they could only sit in the large hall on the first floor.

Shi Tuo's Divine Sense continued to vaguely sweep through those boxes, but it wasn't long before he discovered that his Divine Sense was blocked out of those boxes.

Shi Tuo, who discovered this change, cast his divine sense towards the boxes that he had swept before, only to find that these boxes, which could be easily seen through occasionally, were also covered with a layer of darkness at this time.

"It seems that these boxes also have a formation to shield the divine sense, and they have just been opened. Shi Tuo thought in his heart, and at the same time took out a gray robe from the storage ring, put it on his body, and became a mysterious person.

Seeing this, the blood yarn also thought about it and put on a gray robe. These two sets of gray robes were brought by Shi Tuo and Blood Yarn from the Border Wilderness, and they were the clothes worn by the two of them when they carried out the assassination mission of the Killing God Temple, and they had the effect of shielding their divine sense.

Although this kind of divine consciousness shielding effect is not necessarily absolutely effective for Jindan stage monks, it has no effect on Yuan Infant stage monks.

But if there is a divine sense sweeping towards the two, whether the other party is in the Jindan stage or the Yuan infant stage, they will be noticed by the two.

After a stick of incense, more and more people entered the auction hall, and the large venue, which was originally somewhat empty, was already crowded, and the box on the second floor seemed to be full.

Shi Tuo's divine sense glanced behind him, and found that there were many monks lingering outside the auction hall.

Some of them, holding the spirit stones that had been prepared in their hands, were about to pay the entrance fee to enter the venue, but they were suddenly intercepted.

Because the seats in the field were already full, these monks had empty spirit stones, but they didn't have the opportunity to go in and observe one or two.

Soon after, Shi Tuo's divine consciousness outside the auction hall was blocked from the same situation that had happened in the box before.

However, Shi Tuo knew that the main effect of this barrier was not to resist the divine consciousness of the monks in the field. On the contrary, this was the only privilege given to the monks on the first floor after paying the entrance fee.

At the very least, the divine consciousness of the monks outside was blocked out of the venue, which not only prevented them from having the opportunity to take advantage of the bargain, but also protected the privacy and security of the monks on the first floor, preventing them from becoming the objects of other monks as soon as they left the auction hall.

While thinking about it in his heart, there was a hint of induction coming from Shi Tuo's gray robe, which made Shi Tuo perceive the few divine senses that had just swept over him.

These divine senses are not targeted, they are simply swept away. Shi Tuo gathered his mind and waited for those few divine senses to sweep again. And those few divine senses did not disappoint him, and he swept back and forth several times after that.

Although Shi Tuo had no way to directly sense the specific cultivation of the other party from the strength of his divine sense, he could think that the masters of these divine senses should all be monks from the Flame Auction House. And its purpose must only be to ensure the normal operation and order of the next auction.

At first, those divine senses were relatively hidden, presumably to secretly investigate the situation of the venue first.

And after several back and forth investigations, the power of these divine senses was fully displayed, and they unabashedly moved back and forth several times over the monks on the entire first floor venue.

This made some monks who had not noticed the divine sense in advance couldn't help but be startled, and almost exploded.

And some monks who originally had evil intentions in their hearts, under the deterrence of these powerful divine senses, also put aside their careful thoughts, and only dared to think about participating in the auction in an instant.
