Chapter 41: Prologue

Jiyang City was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere all night, and the medicine meeting during the day was greatly compared, which aroused the enthusiasm and interest of the spirit masters. Even in the middle of the night, the hotels, restaurants, and inns in the city are still brightly lit. Laughter and joy all night long.

In the early morning of the next day, almost all the spirit masters who had come to Jiyang City to participate in the "Thousand Elixir Meeting" flocked to the outside of the Lingbao Pavilion, waiting for the opening of the village. Among these spirit masters, there are thousands of elixirs who will buy elixirs, and there are also those who bring treasured herbs or elixirs in the hope of selling them at a good price.

In this Thousand Elixir Society, whether it is a clan sect, a small family or an individual, as long as there are elixirs and medicines, they can be freely sold, and they can also be freely priced, and the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, as the organizer, will not take a cut of it, nor will it interfere in their transactions.

Time passed, and everyone was looking forward to it, and the clear bell finally rang, and the gates of the courtyard on both sides creaked open. The spirit masters who couldn't wait for a long time rushed into the two courtyards, and the stalls of the Lingbao Pavilion and the clan sect had already been set up in the courtyard on the right, and there were a wide variety of elixirs and medicines placed on them, which could be watched and purchased by the spirit masters to their heart's content. As for the courtyard on the left, hundreds of low tables were neatly arranged, and those who wanted to ship found a satisfactory place as quickly as possible to put out the herbs and elixirs.

It didn't take long for the courtyards on both sides to become noisy and lively......

......

At this time, in a small hall behind the Lingbao Pavilion, hundreds of people gathered. They were all from various clans, sects, and small and medium-sized families in the Dacheng Empire, and as the envoys of the family, they came to Jiyang City to participate in the "Thousand Elixir Meeting", especially to participate in this most important internal auction.

Every time there is a Thousand Elixir Meeting, the truly rare and precious and priceless things will not appear in the village outside, but in this auction. The ones sold in the courtyard outside were some of the more popular elixirs and herbs, and the lowest ones that could be auctioned were more than 200,000 gold coins.

This small hall was built for the auction of the Lingbao Pavilion, and it is circular in shape, with a small round platform in the center, and the seats are circled around the high platform, the farther and higher. No matter what items are auctioned on the stage, you can see them all around.

When the bell rang and the courtyard opened, Nie Kong followed Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin into this hall, and today with the three of them, there was also Nie Xinghai, the seventh elder of the Nie family, who was in charge of finances, and several retinues. Other family clans also sent important people to appear.

After just looking around, Nie Kong saw a lot of familiar figures. For example, the referees in the big competition of the medicine club, Mu Xiaoling, Qu Xinyi, Yu Qingguan, and even the four princes Cheng Zixuan also sat in the front row closest to the auction table, but the little Lori Gu Qi disappeared.

As Nie Xingyun and the others sat in the front row, Nie Kong inadvertently glanced at it and saw a familiar white shadow, that is, Bai Yuqing, who had been through hardships with him in the Illusory Realm of Life and Death. She followed a middle-aged man, and her slightly immature face had a cold look as always.

Although the Bai family is a vassal of the Nie family, the strength of the family is not very weak, and it is expected that they can enter this auction. Speaking of which, since committing suicide in the illusion world, Nie Kong has never seen this fierce girl who often calls herself "old lady", I don't know how far her cultivation has improved?

When Nie Kong found her, Bai Yuqing also saw him, two cold gazes shot straight at him, and he nodded slightly expressionlessly.

"Brother Xingyun, what did your Nie family take out for auction this time?" Que Yu next to him looked at Nie Xingyun and asked with a smile. According to the customary rules in the past, in the auction of the Thousand Elixir Society, the five great clans had to come up with at least one distinctive elixir or herb for auction.

"Haha, Brother Que, confidentiality, confidentiality, you'll know later. Nie Xingyun twisted his beard with a smile, his face slightly pale.

"......" Que Yu was directly speechless.

At this time, Mu Zisi walked over with Mu Xiaoling. When he saw Nie Xingyun and the others, Mu Zisi's face, which was longer than a donkey's face, suddenly darkened, and Mu Xiaoling, who was beside him, also tightened his face very seriously, and there was not the slightest smile on it.

Nie Xingyun smiled, patted the empty seat next to him, and deliberately shouted loudly: "Old man Mu, come, come, come, come and sit here, haha." ”

Seeing that the eyes of many people around him were attracted, Mu Zisi's face became even more ugly, as if he had been smeared with black charcoal, walked up to Nie Kong, blew his beard and waved his hand at Nie Kong, and scolded: "Get up, children go over there to play, don't run here to get in the way." ”

Nie Kong stood up a little inexplicably, and Mu Zisi occupied his seat. Nie Kong was helpless, glanced at Mu Xiaoling, walked to the empty seat more than ten meters away, and after she followed, he whispered: "Sister Xiaoling, did your grandfather go crazy last night by refining medicine?"

"You're just going crazy!"

Mu Xiaoling glanced at Nie Kong, and said angrily, "It's not that you made trouble." Yesterday you won the first place in the big competition, and your master was so proud that he went to the 'Lingbao Pavilion' to taunt my grandfather for a long time. Before leaving, not only did they take away your reward, but your two masters also teamed up to extort all the 'golden jade gourd seeds' that my grandfather had collected with great difficulty. It's so bad that I don't even dare to laugh since yesterday, and my face is hard. As she spoke, the little girl rubbed her tender white face vigorously.

"What are you talking about?"

Nie Kong put his hand into his arms, summoned a small cloth bag from the pet backpack, and opened it to see that it was full of small gourds the size of thumbs, golden and almost transparent.

After coming back last night, Nie Xingyun sent him a reward for the competition, a "Xuanxing Blue Moon Hook". That herb can be used to refine the five-grade elixir "Xuanxing Pill" to improve the cultivation level, because it is very rare, the price can reach millions of gold coins. At the same time, he was given this cloth bag, and Nie Kong didn't open it to look at it, but he didn't expect that the bag contained "Golden Jade Gourd Seeds", which was the main medicine for refining the five-grade elixir "Golden Jade Gourd".

Nie Kong counted it, and there were actually five grains in it, each of which could be worth a million gold coins, and five grains were five million, all of which were worthy of the "Xuanxing Blue Moon Hook". Nie Kong was secretly speechless, the master who met him, Lingbao Pavilion really had a lot of blood this time.

No wonder Mu Zisi's face was so dark! As soon as he spoke, he was angry and angry, it turned out that he was deflated by his master and poured his anger on his apprentice. However, Nie Kong was a little curious, how did Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin extort such a precious five "Golden Jade Gourd Seeds"?

"Of course, otherwise how could Grandpa be so depressed. ”

“......”

As they spoke, the two sat down. Nie Kong was still waiting to listen, but all the noisy sounds in the hall suddenly disappeared, and when he looked up, he saw Mo Xingtu smiling and ascending to the round platform in the center of the hall, and behind him, followed by dozens of young men, each holding a box of different sizes in his hand......
