As night fell, almost all the monks in the town gathered in front of the auction house, and gathered around the city. The shouts and protests came one after another, if it weren't for the more than thirty or so masters of the Yudan period in the industry, maybe these people would have attacked in groups.

Under the leadership of Lingxi, Qian Mei'er and Phantom Ji had already entered the private room of the auction house in advance. At this time, the hall below was full, and even the aisles were full of monks without seats, and even so, many people were still rushing forward, which shows how much attention was paid to this auction.

Qian Mei'er said: "So when you arrived, the people in this city had disappeared? ”

Lingxi said: "Yes, there were not many monks when we arrived here, but the people in the city seem to have all evaporated out of thin air, which is really incomprehensible. ”

Phantom Ji said: "The Heaven Devouring Demon Skill has reappeared in the world, why would you find such a small auction house?" Your Spirit Treasure Pavilion's reputation on the Mortal Dust Continent is much higher than theirs, is there any problem here? ”

Lingxi groaned slightly: "It's not a secret, in fact, a mysterious person approached Grandpa a few months ago, saying that he wanted to auction off a treasure, but he refused to reveal what it was. Our Lingbao Pavilion never accepts things from unknown sources, so Grandpa politely refused. This time, I came here, firstly, because this auction house was understaffed, and specially funded to borrow someone from our Lingbao Pavilion to escort it, and secondly, I also heard the news that the Sky Devouring Demon Gong would be auctioned here, and my grandfather specially sent me over to see it for myself. ”

Phantom Ji nodded and said: "The ambitious monks from the Mortal Dust Continent and the Immortal Dust Continent are here, I think it will be difficult for me to end safely today, so we must always be vigilant." ”

Before the three women could say a few words, a master of ceremonies slowly walked out of the center of the stage in the hall, and when all the monks saw that someone had come out, they all stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

The master of ceremonies was a handsome man, and he only heard him say loudly: "Everyone, all Taoist friends are polite, and I despise the auction house for your patronage......

Before the conversation was finished, someone interrupted loudly: "Hurry up and take out the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill!" Grandpas can't wait! ”

"Yes! Why are you talking so much nonsense on a dog day, hurry up and auction it! ”

"Take it out! How can a small auction house have a Heaven Devouring Demon Skill? Are you lying? ”

……

The master of ceremonies smiled awkwardly, and tried to raise his voice to suppress the shouts and curses of the monks: "Everyone, the auction will start right now!" The Heaven Devouring Demon Skill is the lot we press the bottom of the box, but we can't take it out first, let's auction the other ...... first."

"Fuck it! Lao Tzu came to devour the heavens and demons, you play this with Lao Tzu? ”

"I don't think they have it at all, they're just deceiving people in the name of magic skills!"

"That's it! I heard that this magic skill is the unique secret book of the Nine Shadows, and it has been destroyed a long time ago, how can it still be in the world? ”

"Fuck, grandpa paid a lot of money to come in, if you dare to entertain grandpa, grandpa will tear this place down!"

"Get out of your magic skills! Take it out! ”

"Yes, take it out!"

Seeing that the excitement of the crowd was uncontrollable, the master of ceremonies had no choice but to turn his head to look backstage helplessly.

After a while, a fat man in a brocade robe hurriedly came to the stage and said loudly: "Everyone, please be restless, don't be impatient!" Let's ask for the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill! Wait a minute, everybody! ”

As soon as he said this, the crowd made a fuss, and the shouting almost toppled the roof. Fortunately, there are powerful enchantments around the stage and many high-level monks are arranged, otherwise I am afraid that these people would have already robbed them.

A beautiful maid carried out a small wooden box, which looked to be some years old, and had a paper seal attached to it.

Under the urging of everyone, the fat man tore open the seal and took out the contents inside, which was a thin booklet with the four big characters "Heaven Devouring Demon Gong" written on it in ancient seals.

The fat man put the book on the wooden plate, carefully flipped through the first page, he held up the wooden plate and said loudly: "Everyone, please see clearly, this exercise is the world's famous Heaven Devouring Demon Skill!" ”

Everyone held their breath and stared at the pages of the book, and the noisy hall was silent for a moment.

Qian Mei'er saw that there were crooked black words written on the book, and although she tried hard to decipher the meaning, she couldn't understand it at all, and she couldn't help but whisper: "Is this the way this Heaven Devouring Demon Skill looks?" Can you understand what is written on it? ”

Phantom Ji shook her head and said: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of text, maybe this boss has made a fake book to deceive people." ”

Qian Mei'er said: "He dares to deceive people? Then he must not be able to get out alive today. ”

Phantom Ji said: "Maybe he just wanted to tell a small lie to improve the reputation of the auction house, but he didn't expect the lie to spread all over the continent......"

Lingxi had been silent in thought, and she thought for a moment and suddenly said, "This text seems to be an ancient script...... The auction house once took some rare ancient artifacts, and the text on them seemed to be similar to the ones in this book......"

The three girls looked at it for a while, and all the monks began to talk about it. Some say that this is the auction house playing tricks and making a fake book to deceive people; Some people say that this text is from the ancient period, and it is normal to not understand it; Some people also say that this is not some sky-devouring demon skill, but a technique left over from ancient powers......

There are different opinions, and there is no conclusion for a while. At this time, a man said loudly: "What is the origin of this magic skill?" Has your auction house verified the authenticity? Why don't you talk about it carefully? When he said this, everyone echoed him, shouting loudly for the boss to make it clear.

Faced with this scene, the fat man in brocade wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, to be honest, he couldn't check the authenticity when he accepted this commission, but the price offered by the client was too tempting! Eighty percent of the auction price could go to him, and since this was a great opportunity to promote the reputation of the auction house, he really had no reason to refuse.

He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I don't know the identity of the holder, and the origin is not very clear, and it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false......

Seeing that everyone was full of anger again, he hurriedly said, "But! However, our auction house has invited a special person to conduct a detailed appraisal of this exercise, and the material, ink, and text of this page are indeed from ancient times! In other words, even if he is not a Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, there is a high probability that you will not suffer a loss if you shoot it back......"

When he said this, everyone immediately became excited, and then someone said: "We don't know the words on this exercise, do we have to ask someone to translate it for us?" ”

"yes, did your auction house copy another volume?"

"If you buy it back, you can't practice, when we are wronged? Hahaha! ”

The fat man hurriedly said, "No, no, no, please rest assured!" After our appraisal, there is a strong spiritual imprint attached to this exercise, which means that the cultivation method of this magic skill is passed on with spiritual power, not by practicing it by itself. Moreover, the spiritual imprint on this exercise can only be practiced once, and there is absolutely no possibility of replication, please rest assured! ”

Seeing that all the monks were eager to try, he hurriedly hit the railroad while it was hot: "Fellow Daoists, please see this thing clearly, please judge for yourself whether it is true or not!" Once the lot is sold, the Bank will not return it! The starting price of this item is one million spirit stones, you can bid! ”

As soon as his voice fell, there was no one to bid, but they all bowed their heads and discussed. If it is really a Heaven Devouring Demon Skill, let alone a million, it is 10 million, and there will be people competing for 100 million, the problem is that no one can determine its authenticity.

Moreover, it is difficult to guarantee that this thing will be targeted by the vast number of people with magical powers in front of everyone, and the so-called puppet is innocent and guilty, and in the end he may end up with a dead end, which will outweigh the losses.

But since ancient times, wealth and danger have been sought, if you don't have such courage, why set foot in the fairy realm?

Everyone had their own thoughts for a while, and after a short period of coldness, someone finally couldn't help but shout: "One million and one million!" ”

Seeing that someone was bidding, everyone came back to their senses and made up their minds to bid boldly.

"One million and two million!"

"One and a half million!"

"One million seven million!"

"Two million!"

……

The fat boss was in a stirring mood, sweating nervously, he presided over the auction while wiping his sweat, and the price soon reached five million!

At this level, it is no longer something that ordinary monks can afford, but all of them who can enter the arena today are worth a lot, and the voices of shouting prices are endless.

When the price was raised to 20 million, there were many fewer bidders, but there were still many bidders. Most of the monks were waiting for the final results to see who could spend this peerless magic skill.

When 30 million was called twice, an eerie voice suddenly said: "Forty million! ”

This direct increase in the price of 10 million was undoubtedly a big blow to the monks present, and everyone applauded and cheered, turning their heads around to look at the bidders, quite a bit of a mentality that it was not a big deal to see the excitement. But the bidder has already hidden his breath, how can he find it?

Everyone couldn't help but wonder: "Someone dares to spend 40 million to buy a book of exercises that I don't know if it's true or not, could it be that this exercise is real?" Otherwise, who would be willing to spend such a large amount of money to be wronged? ”

"Forty-five million!" A resolute-sounding voice rang out.

"Hehe, it seems that the old guys have come out to join in the fun, okay, the old man is also coming to make a fuss, fifty million!"

Everyone was in an uproar, you must know that the price of 50 million is already considered a "sky-high price", and it is obvious that the people who are still bidding are all the powerhouses from the Immortal Dust Continent. Even these people have begun to scramble, which undoubtedly means that this exercise is real!

The heartbeats of all the monks present accelerated silently. It is already an honor to witness this exercise, which has reaped the lives of countless monks, being auctioned off at public here. It is not difficult to imagine that in the near future, its inheritors will set off a bloody storm on the mainland!

In the final price chase, there were still seven buyers who made frequent bids, and the final price was fixed at a "sky-high price" of 130 million! The fat boss's whole body trembled with excitement, and the sweat had soaked his inner and outer clothes, and he could barely hold the drumstick in his hand. After asking three times that no one raised the price, the trembling hand finally fell, and the final word was made!

"Deal!"

Everyone cheered and applauded, and they were all looking around waiting for the winner to come to the stage to trade, only to see a man in black sitting in the corner slowly getting up and walking towards the stage, looking at her walking posture like a woman.

At the signal of the fat boss, the monks in charge of security opened a gap in the barrier, and the woman stepped onto the stage, just as she was about to deliver the spirit stone, she suddenly heard a harsh voice say: "The Heaven Devouring Demon Skill belongs to Lao Tzu, no one wants to take it!" ”

Then there was a "boom", a big hole was blasted open in the ceiling of the hall, and a huge golden hand fell from the sky, smashing the entire stage with one palm! The fat boss, the woman, the emcee, and the maid were all photographed into meatloaf in an instant!

In the smoke and dust, a gray shadow quickly fell, bent down and took the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill on the ground, and then escaped through the hole in the ceiling!

Everyone was stunned, and when they heard the noise coming from outside the auction house, they all reacted and rushed to chase after the man! Qianmei'er and her three daughters were no exception, and they also hurriedly ran out to check the situation.

Outside the auction house, there were countless "balls of light" floating in the sky, illuminating the sky as if it were day. All the monks rushed to the roof one after another, shouting loudly, chasing and intercepting the gray-robed man who fled with the book!

All kinds of spells were thrown at the man like fireworks that didn't want money, but the man just waved his hand to defuse the attack in the sky, and it was obvious that this person's cultivation was too much higher than the others!

Qian Mei'er saw these in her eyes, and she thought in her heart: "Just now, more than thirty early stage monks of the auction house laid out the barrier, this person actually forcibly broke it with one move, obviously this person has used the power beyond the early stage of the elixir, that is to say, ......"

She looked up at the sky and saw countless golden swords begin to appear out of thin air, and even from a distance, she could feel the murderous aura emanating from them! There is no doubt that this is the Xuanyuan Sword Formation that guards the entire Mortal Dust Continent!

This was not only the first time Qian Mei'er had seen it with her own eyes, but also the first time that many monks had seen it with their own eyes, and everyone couldn't help but stop and look up, pointing at these small swords that looked very "fragile". I'm used to hearing about its prestige on weekdays, but today I can finally see its power!

The gray-robed man was surrounded by many monks, and when he saw the Xuanyuan Sword Formation flying towards him rapidly from the sky, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, and at the same time, his whole body erupted with a powerful True Yuan! This True Yuan was like a thick pillar of light that the two of them hugged together and soared straight into the sky, spurting towards the sword array!

"Boom!"

The loud sound was accompanied by an intense, blinding light, and when the light dissipated, the illuminated light ball in the sky began to dim. On the roof, the gray-robed man had seven or eight small golden swords stuck in his chest, and puffs of green smoke rose from the wound as if they were burning his flesh.

The gray-robed man's whole body trembled violently, and he took out the thin booklet, which was the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill!

"Hey...... Hey...... Old...... Father...... What you can't get, you won't ...... Never cheap you guys! ”

Seeing all the monks rushing towards him like hungry wolves, they all wanted to grab the number one magic skill in the world!

The gray-robed man smirked and held up the pamphlet, and a final roar erupted from deep in his throat!

"Ahh

Under the crushing of his true yuan, countless golden pages poured out like a fountain, and these pages were like golden butterflies flying freely in the gradually dimming night sky, and they were like fireworks in the sky!

But the monks were not in the mood to admire it, and they swooped down like starving ghosts on a delicacy to "catch" the pages of the book, and soon the air was filled with the smell of blood!

The three daughters of Qianmei'er were watching all this from a distance, and just as they were hesitating whether to join them, they suddenly noticed a familiar figure!

"Xin'er! It's Xin'er! There she is! Qian Mei'er couldn't help but exclaim.

The already deranged Xin'er suddenly appeared, and at this moment she was also like a hungry wolf frantically snatching the pages of the book.

"It's too dangerous here, let's go over and capture her quickly, and then retreat immediately!" Phantom said quickly.

"I'm here to help, too!" Lingxi had already heard Qian Mei'er tell them about the cause and effect of coming here, so naturally she had to help.

"So, let's go! Quick! Phantom Ji took the lead and rushed forward, followed by the two women.

……

In the deep stream, Ling Ning and Xia Shiqing opened their eyes at the same time, and the two looked at each other and smiled. With Ling Ning's help, the True Yuan in Xia Shiqing's body had been replenished, and although it had not fully recovered, it was already able to act as usual.

Xia Shiqing said: "I'm much better, how do you feel?" ”

Ling Ning said: "I just helped you with my luck, even my own injuries have recovered a lot, now my waist doesn't hurt so much, maybe I can sit up a little ......" Seeing that he was going to sit up, Xia Shiqing hurriedly made a "backrest" for him with Mu Dun.

"How? Does it hurt badly? I still recommend that it is better to lie flat. ”

"It's okay, I still want to lean on it so I can see my surroundings clearly."

Xia Shiqing saw that he was not so uncomfortable and no longer persuaded him, "Next, let's find an exit and leave here as soon as possible." ”

Ling Ning nodded, he thought for a moment, and said with some difficulty: "Shiqing, this time you helped me heal my injuries, I seem to be more proficient in the wood attribute, that ......"

"What? You just put it bluntly, is there any taboo between you and me? ”

"I ...... I want to ask you to teach me some wood attribute Taoism, I wonder if it's possible? ”

"Is it just this little thing? Naturally, yes. ”

She thought for a while, took out a scroll from the ring and handed it to him: "This is a record of the wood attribute Dao technique I am practicing, you can take it and take a look, there are some of my experiences and insights in it......

Ling Ning was a little embarrassed to see her so happy, just the Taoist technique, the experience was extremely rare, which allowed him to avoid a lot of detours, but she gave him such a valuable experience without any scruples.

"Is that good? You teach me these things privately, and the master will pursue them...... You might as well teach me some introductory techniques. ”

Xia Shiqing shook her head and said: "It's okay, these are not the secrets of this sect, although most of them are some junior and intermediate Dao techniques, but don't underestimate these, the key to the infinite changes in wood attributes are among them." ”

Ling Ning shirked a few more times, and only accepted it when she saw her resolute attitude. He couldn't wait to open the practice, and Xia Shiqing patiently pointed him out.

The sky was getting brighter, and the red glow reflected on the two of them like a wedding dress, looking at the glow on each other's bodies, both of them were stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

When the red glow gradually dissipated, Ling Ning broke the slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

"I have a general understanding of the key to the Wood Attribute Dao Technique...... I...... Let me show you how! ”

"Hmm...... Uh-huh...... Good...... You can try it......"

Xia Shiqing rarely lowered her head, as if she was a little shy, which reminded Ling Ning of that dream-like moment, and his heartbeat began to accelerate again.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Xia Shiqing raised her head and said, "What...... How not to start? Isn't it for a demo? ”

"Ah, yes...... I'll demonstrate ......" Ling Ning pressed the "beautiful" picture that kept popping up in his mind, and concentrated on making a series of handprints.

"Wood Escape, Wood Man Technique!"

"Bang!" A thick branch grew out of the mud, and the vines above their heads seemed to come to life and intertwined the branches into a bed-like cushion, and many poisonous snakes fell from the vines, but they crawled aside as if they didn't care and continued to stare into the depths of the cavern.

In a moment, a two-meter-tall cyan wooden figure appeared in front of him, and above his head was a soft chair made of vines, enough for the two of them to sit cross-legged.

"Yay! Ling Gongzi, you are really talented! ”

Facing Xia Shiqing's praise, Ling Ning smiled: "It's better for you to teach, by the way, don't call me Ling Gongzi, I'm not worthy of being a rough martial artist, just call me Xiao Ning." ”

Xia Shiqing hesitated slightly, but still nodded happily "um".

The two of them immediately boarded the wooden figure and sat cross-legged, driven by Ling Ning, the wooden man walked towards the depths of the cave, the more they walked inside, the wider the cave became, the two of them walked for a while and did not find any exit, and after walking for a while, the two suddenly found that there was a stone tablet more than two meters high in the quagmire, on which four big characters were written in bright red words, "Earth Dragon Blessed Land"!

Ling Ning drove the wooden people to step forward to take a closer look, and suddenly, a gust of fishy wind blew from behind them!
