"Lost in the Northern Desert? Di Yue, can you elaborate? Yuan Ming asked.

"About a year ago, the life cards of three foundation building disciples in my sect were shattered at the same time, and the sect immediately sent people to investigate, but the clues found were complicated, and finally only a relatively clear conclusion was obtained, that is, they had all appeared in Xiaohu City, and at this time, the Tianxiang auction was about to be held, so the sect sent an old man to come here with my disciples to continue the investigation." Di Yue said.

"The disappearance of the disciple in the foundation building period, I don't think this matter should have much to do with Pu Zhengqing. Since you've only known that they've appeared in Little Lake City, why do you want to go to the Northern Desert to investigate? Yuan Buming subconsciously thought of Sha Haoshi, but immediately vetoed it.

"After our in-depth investigation, those three disciples only stayed in Xiaohu City for a few days before going to Zhao Kingdom, and judging from some other clues we found, they should all have gone to the Northern Desert in the end. I think Hagong Daoist is very suitable, can you help us investigate this matter together, and I will not treat Daoist friends after the matter is completed. Di Yue said.

"Since your sect has already sent Elder Jiedan to lead a team to deal with this matter, why do you want to solicit the participation of the next foundation building period?" Yuan Ming tilted his head and thought about it, then asked noncommittally

"I'm afraid there will be a lot of variables in the trip to the Northern Desert, how good it is for the people to travel with you whether they are expensive or not, Hagong Daoyou can defeat Pu Wangqing, and there are few opponents among his peers, if they can get the help of Taoist friends, they will naturally be like a tiger with wings." Di Yue said.

"To tell you the truth, if you can't spare your hand for the time being, I'm afraid you won't be able to help Di Yue Daoyou." Yuan Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head.

Di Yue's face was disappointed, but her attitude towards Yuan Ming still did not change: "It's okay, I will change this armor in the next few days, and ask Daoyou to leave a contact information, and I will send someone to send it to you when the time comes."

"Then ask Daoyou to send it to Aoki Building and say that it is Hagon for temporary storage." Yuan Ming nodded and said a location, Hagon's identity is now in the limelight, and in order to avoid trouble, it is better not to have anything to do with the Xuanhua Lingxiang Shop.

Di Yue didn't care when she heard this, she only said that after seven days at most, Yuan Ming could go and retrieve the armor.

Then Yuan Ming said a few more polite words, and then turned to leave.

Originally, he heard that the Fire Bird Sect was good at refining weapons, so he took the initiative to ask them to help refine the best magic weapons, but first, when he came to Song Huitong's side, he had already said that he would help him introduce it, and secondly, he refused Di Yue's invitation, and the other party had promised to optimize the heavy armor for himself, and he didn't want to owe favors anymore.

After Yuan Ming left the Firebird Gate booth, Ru continued to wander around the building casually.

Soon, time passed in a hurry, and a clear bell rang suddenly in the building, followed by a majestic voice, echoing in the tall building.

"The hour has come, the Tianxiang auction is about to start, and please take the spirit ladder and go to the main auction field." When Yuan Ming heard this, he walked quickly towards the spirit ladder with the flow of people, and it didn't take long for him to be sent to an empty hall.

In the hall, several city lords guarded the exit of the spirit ladder, and every time they saw a cultivator coming, they would politely ask for an invitation.

Yuan Ming handed the invitation to a personal guard, only to see him briefly glance for a moment, and then took a token and sent it to Yuan Ming, "This central token is something that will be quoted later, please take it, and please remember to return it when you leave." ”

"Next, please go to the north side of your house, and then take the spirit ladder there to the venue."

Yuan Ming put away the token, and according to the guidance of the guards, he once again climbed a spirit ladder and rose with the spirit ladder, I don't know how long it took, a little starlight suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Ming's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a huge domed hall suddenly appeared in front of him, the floor of the hall was uneven, and the whole looked like a large bowl, with high sides and a depression in the middle.

At this time, Yuan Ming was standing at the very edge of the main hall, and it was also the highest position, in front of him, there was a long staircase walkway, leading to the lowest point in the center of the main hall.

And over there, there was a high platform, and now it was empty, and there was nothing.

On both sides of the walkway, carved wooden seats with bustling patterns are arranged from top to bottom, not close to each other and separated by some distance.

Yuan Ming glanced around and randomly selected a seat with a good view to sit down.

As soon as he sat down, Yuan Ming inadvertently raised his head, and suddenly found that above the many seats, there were many other independent flats?

There is not only a seat on it, but there is even a small table with melons and fruits, and there are also maids wearing elegant long skirts and holding tea on the side, and the treatment is several times better than the seats below.

"Tut-tut, it would be nice if one day I could sit over there." In the main hall, Yuan Ming heard the voice and turned around to see that it was a man with a fat figure who was obese and seemed to have no neck.

Sitting on the seat beside him, Fat Xiutu saw Yuan Ming looking at him, and immediately arched his hand happily towards Yuan Ming: "In the lower Shuangwang Chongshan Scattered Alliance Leader, I don't know what to call a fellow Daoist?"

'Hagon'" Yuan Ming nodded, which was considered a return gift.

Wang Chonghashan's eyes suddenly lit up: "It turned out to be a Taoist friend of Ha Dao, who has been admired for a long time, as a Taoist friend, he should be qualified to sit in the box, how can he sit here?"

"This is the first time I have participated in the Tianxiang auction, and I don't know how to enter the box," Yuan Ming said frankly.

"Oh, I see, Hagong Daoist hasn't joined the Scattered Alliance yet? In addition to the fixed positions reserved for a few major sects, the box seats of this Tianxiang auction are all allocated to the alliance leaders of the well-known scattered alliances and the sand cultivators, I originally thought that with the strength of the Daoist, I would have been recruited by the Scattered Alliance a long time ago, but I didn't expect that the Daoist friend was still free" Wang Chongshan said suddenly.

"I don't like to be restrained, so I don't want to join any of these forces." Yuan Ming replied.

"I'm going to say a few words about this, Daoist friends are afraid that they have a misunderstanding of the Scattered Alliance, and there is a big difference between the Scattered Alliance and the immortal cultivation forces like the Sect Family! Although he is a force, there is no constraint on the members inside, and only when the task needs to be convened, the task is completed, the remuneration is distributed, and the members can also leave on their own, and they can come and go very freely, and you can even join several scattered alliances at the same time. Wang Chongshan said.

"Since it is so loose, what is the significance of the establishment of the Scattered Alliance?" Yuan Ming asked.

"Hagong Daoyou, you think, a group of people who don't know each other gather to do tasks, and they have to be careful that someone is stabbing each other in secret, and the Scattered Alliance is different, the longer it is formed, the more familiar the members are with each other, not only with the young and handy, but also fair in the allocation of resources and rewards and punishments, and the most important thing is that the Scattered Alliance has a reputation and will not take a deposit and do nothing, so most of the monks and sects, when looking for someone to do the task, will go directly to the reliable Scattered Alliance, Only tasks that pay less, or don't require too many people, will be posted. Wang Chongshan explained.

"There is also a situation where the Scattered Alliance receives a task but there are not enough people who can be transferred for a while, so he will post the task and recruit other loose cultivators externally, but the remuneration for this part of the task is set by the Scattered Alliance itself, and it will generally be lower than that of a good start to receive the Scattered Alliance." Wang Chongshan added.

Although Yuan Ming had a general understanding of this when he was in southern Xinjiang, this time through the mouth of the Central Plains monks, he found that the understanding of the two regions was basically the same, so he arched his hand towards Wang Chongshan to show his gratitude.

Just as he was talking to Wang Chongshan, other cultivators also walked into the venue one after another, and the seats gradually filled even the several boxes above, and there were few people sitting without a fight, and soon a melodious string music suddenly sounded, and the noisy venue gradually quieted down.

Under the gaze of many cultivators, a beautiful young woman wearing a goose yellow robe rose from the high platform in the center of the venue.

Yuan Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the woman, not because of the identity of this person, but because there were extremely obvious splicing marks at the woman's joints.

Although she looked lifelike and looked like the real thing, it could be seen that she was just a puppet that relied on spirit stones to drive her.

"First of all, thank you seniors for attending this Tianxiang auction, my name is Puppet Nine, and I am the host of this auction, as you can see, I am a spirit stone puppet. I am presiding, there will be absolutely no mistakes in the entire auction process, and this is guaranteed by the city lord Lu himself, and there is no falsehood. Puppet Nine said.

Cultivating to the people in the court, the words were clear and reasonable, if you didn't look at her joints, no one would have thought of such a lively woman, just a puppet driven by spirit stones.

On the high platform, Puppet Jiu continued to introduce the rules of the auction.

"This auction will be a secret bidding method, if you fancy a certain lot, you can make an offer through the token issued to you at the time of entry, I will inform you of the highest bid after receiving the message, if someone bids the same, I will also explain otherwise. Then without further ado, take a look at the first lot! As soon as Puppet Jiu's words fell, another stone platform slowly rose behind her.

She took down a Nanmu square box from the stone platform of the goose down cloth with the golden turtle, and after opening it, she showed everyone the jade slip inside.

"In this piece of jade, what is recorded is the core exercise of the Fire Yuan Sect of the Zhao State "Red Fire Heart Method", you should know that the Fire Yuan Sect and the Five Thunder Sect were once called the first-class sects of the Zhao State."

"It's a pity that after the death of the patriarch, no one of him was promoted to Yuanying, so he withdrew from the list of first-class sects, however, the value of the "Red Fire Heart Method" as the main practice of the ancestor will not be weakened because of this, and this lot in our store is the whole text of the heart method "Chibo Heart Method", which is not missing a word to connect the cultivation methods of the Dan period."

"Having such a technique is enough to reinvent a small sect, save disciples with spiritual roots from taking at least fifty years of detours, and save a lot of time and resources for cultivation. The starting price is only 20,000 spirit stones, and you are invited to bid as much as you like! ”
