Chapter 5 Tianju Pavilion
Lin Hui turned his head vigilantly and found that a smaller figure was walking towards the entrance of the cave, and as the figure walked in, his face gradually became clearer. It was a delicate melon seed face, a pair of clean, clear eyes, and small and delicate lips. He had two braids in his jet-black hair, and a package containing several herbs on his right side. Lin Hui saw that it was a little girl and let down his guard.
"Bring it!" Dai Ling puffed out his cheeks and angrily stretched out his hand to Lin Hui to ask for a flying squirrel
This little girl is sick, right? This was Lin Hui's first reaction. In this barren mountain and wilderness, they dare to come out and wander casually. Are you not afraid to meet strangers, and you still have the courage to ask for something? Dare you to love your back garden!
"Why give it to you, this is what I caught, and this is my dinner, give it to you what I eat" Lin Hui turned his head away and continued to prepare to perform anatomy on the flying squirrel.
"You... Don't, if you're hungry, I've got bread here," Dai Ling anxiously took out two palm-sized breads from his arms
Lin Hui looked at the flying squirrel in his hand, and compared it with the cake in Dai Ling's hand. The bread is made of flour, which is easier to resist hunger, and this flying squirrel is not very big, and it is estimated that it is not enough to eat this cake when it is baked. Weighing the value of the flying squirrel and the cake, he chose to exchange.
"No, here you go" Lin Hui threw it into the air, then took the cake, smelled it, with a fragrance and a little body temperature, he took a big bite of it, it tasted good, but it was a little hard!
Dai Ling carefully took the flying squirrel, gently stroked his back, and exhaled with relief.
Dai Ling originally came to the barren forest to look for medicinal herbs, but he didn't pay attention to the time, and he didn't find out until it was dark. When he was walking in the barren forest looking for a place to spend the night, he saw a fire, and when he walked in, he saw Lin Hui preparing to dissect the flying squirrel.
"Can I rest here for the night?" Dai Ling asked on tiptoe
"I said, 'Do you know me?' Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person? Are you so daring? Lin Hui ate the cake and said angrily. This Nizi's heart is really big.
"You don't look like a bad guy," Dai Ling caressed the flying squirrel and looked at him
"So what do you think a bad guy should look like? The big black face and then the face of the flesh, and then the word bad guy written on the face?" Lin Hui saw that the temperature of the fire had decreased, and added some firewood to it
Dai Ling walked to the opposite side of Lin Hui, carefully put the flying squirrel in the bag on the right, and then sat down and said, "Anyway, I just feel like you're a bad person, my intuition is still very accurate."
"My name is Dai Ling, what's your name?" Dai Ling showed two tiger teeth and smiled, the firelight shining on the white face, very cute.
Lin Hui ignored her, after eating the cake and patting off the crumbs on his hand, he sat up cross-legged and began to practice, every minute and second is the key, Lin Hui will not slack off.
"Stingy!"
Dai Ling saw that he was bored with himself, and he didn't bother Lin Hui, but he felt that the young man opposite looked like he was not a year or two older than him, and he pretended to be deep. Dai Ling leaned against the wall beside him and fell asleep warmly.
Lin Hui opened his eyes the moment Dai Ling fell asleep, saw that the girl opposite him was defenseless at all, shook his head, and continued to enter cultivation.
Vertical day
Lin Hui walked alone in the barren forest, as for the girl last night, it was already dawn, and she would go home when she woke up, so she didn't care.
He wasn't a bodyguard, and he wasn't obligated to protect him. Take out the map, and according to the route on the map, you should be almost in Nanyang City. Sure enough, after walking for a while, a huge city wall appeared in front of him, and three red eye-catching characters were carved on the head of the city gate.
Nanyang City!
There are guards guarding the gates under the city gates, but they are not checked, so they should only serve as a vigilance. Lin Hui walked into Nanyang City smoothly, and ancient buildings stood in front of him.
"Steamed buns, fragrant and big buns, five copper coins each"
"Titanium silver breastplate, quality assurance, one piece of hardware"
"Don't miss it when you pass by, a silver coin and a bundle of herbs, you can't be fooled, you can't buy it and suffer a loss"
Lin Hui walked on the avenue, listening to the lively sound of sales, all kinds of commodity styles, dazzling, is this the street of the ancient city? It's really lively. He found a random vendor and inquired where the restaurant was.
"Restaurant? If you walk straight along here, the most majestic building you will see is the largest restaurant in Nanyang City, Tianju Pavilion."
Lin Hui walked a distance of 100 meters towards the route pointed by the vendor, and saw a huge and majestic pavilion with golden brilliance. He sighed, sure enough, no matter where he was, there was the power of capital. I walked straight over, then turned right into the inn not far away. The name of this inn is quite chic, called the Peer Inn.
Lin Hui is not a fool, Tianju Pavilion is not something he can consume at a glance. At present, the main thing is to collect information, and the money should be saved!
"Man, let's have a plate of roast chicken, add a point of peanuts" Lin Hui walked into the inn and sat down, ordering some at random.
The inn is quite clean, the shopkeeper is stacking the abacus to settle the accounts, and there is only one guy who is serving food to the guests at other tables.
"Guest officer, your roast chicken, peanuts, all ready" The guy put it on after a while.
Lin Hui tore off the chicken leg and chewed it, the taste was okay.
"Have you heard, the competition of the three major sects is about to begin, I don't know which Tianjiao has emerged this year"
"I can hear that Gu Cangheng of the Xiangang Sect is terrifying, and he is known as the most talented disciple of the Xiangang Sect in a hundred years."
"What is that, do you know the Holy Sword Sect, the Young Master of the Holy Sword Sect, Qu Xinghe, I heard that he is about to enter the crystallization realm, and he is not yet thirty years old."
"There is also the floating clouds of the Burning Sun Sect, the floating clouds have been floating for a long time, and they are known as the Burning Sun Shuangjiao"
Lin Hui ate roast chicken, listened to the passers-by next to him, and silently wrote down the names and sects.
"Guest, you spend a total of 5 silver coins"
Lin Hui handed out the silver card and asked by the way, "Is there a place to sell spirit stones here?" ”
The man took the silver card, took it to the shopkeeper, saw the shopkeeper take out a gold card, scratched it on the silver card, and then handed the silver card to the buddy. The guy respectfully returned the silver card and said to Lin Hui, "Guest officer, spirit stones can only be sold in the auction hall, if you have extra spirit stones, you can also go to Tianju Pavilion, where there are various ways to exchange high-quality exercises, spirit stones and earn spirit stones, and the auction house is also in it."
Lin Hui took the silver card and nodded, and walked towards the door. Tilting his head and glancing at the Tianju Pavilion not far away, he still had to go in here to have a look.
Tianju Pavilion, located in the center of Nanyang City, its pavilion owner is the largest wealthy merchant in Nanyang City, his whereabouts are mysterious, and no one has ever seen his face.
Lin Hui walked into the Tianju Pavilion, and just as he wanted to enter, he was stopped by two sturdy men.
"You have to pay a fee to enter the venue, 500 silver coins"
Lin Hui frowned, sure enough, most places have to collect door fees, he took out the silver card and handed it to one of the men, the man glanced at it, took the silver card and swiped it, and returned it to Lin Hui.
"White Label, No. 188, Total 5000 Silver, Spend 500 Silver"
Lin Hui took a white bamboo plaque given by the man, which said 188, and walked straight in.
"I'm here to try my luck again" The man watched Lin Hui enter and said to another partner, although Lin Hui heard it, he didn't care.
The Tianju Pavilion shines with a luxurious atmosphere, the floor is all made of white jade, and the palm-sized spirit stones are inlaid everywhere, exuding a trace of spiritual power, making the whole hall as if surrounded by a fairyland, and the surrounding buildings are cut out of century-old sycamore wood, made by top craftsmen, delicate edging, dazzling black lines. The pavilion has a total of five floors, each with a staircase on each side. There is an information desk in the center of the hall on the first floor, and a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam is sitting on the information desk.
"Hello, I want to ask how to get to the auction hall," Lin Hui walked into the information desk and asked
"Please show your number plate"
Lin Hui took out the number plate and handed it over.
"You are a white card, you can only enter the first and second floors, the first floor is mainly for the sellers of auction items, you can go down here, the second floor is the auction room, if you need to participate in the auction, you can go up the stairs on one side, as for the third and fourth floors are not for white label guests"
Lin Hui nodded, took back the number plate, and walked towards the second floor. The setting on the second floor looks a little more elegant, with a stepped shape and a partition. There is a circular platform in the center, surrounded by rows of seats, and above the compartment is a private room. Lin Hui took his number plate and found a seat.
"Brother, you're here to meet the chance?" A simple face suddenly stretched out on the side.
"My name is Wu Xing, or we will cooperate, how about getting five or five points" Wu Xing introduced himself.
Lin Hui glanced at him, didn't speak, shook his head and continued to look at the center, the auction should be about to start.
Wu Xing saw that Lin Hui didn't speak, and he didn't care, he shrugged his shoulders and looked at the center.
syllable
The lights of the whole audience dimmed suddenly, and a beam of white light shone in the center, and a figure walked out.
"Hello everyone, welcome to Tianju Pavilion, we are about to start today's auction" The person who spoke was the butler of Tianju Pavilion, wearing a white robe, a Chinese face, slightly fat, and eagle-eyed eyes scanned the surroundings.
"Let's start the auction of the first item..."
Wu Xing turned his head and said to Lin Hui, "Brother, you are the first time to come here, let me tell you, the things in front of the Tianju Pavilion auction are generally not something we can buy, but in the end, there will be blind stones, and the most exciting thing is also in this link, the blind stones are the ore dug out by Tianju Pavilion from a secret place, and the good ores have been taken away by Tianju Pavilion, as for those bad and some uncertain ores will be taken out for auction, the price is fixed at a starting price of 2000 silver coins, the ore is not valuable, mainly the things inside are valuable, I've seen someone get a weapon and sell it for 500 gold."
Lin Hui listened to Wu Xing's words, it turned out that when he first came in, the strong man was referring to this when he said luck.
"I don't have that much money!" Although Lin Hui also wants to try his luck, listening to his statement is similar to the gambling stone in his hometown.
Wu Xing saw that he was not interested, and thought that he was looking down on himself. Don't go over it and continue lobbying for another person.
After the auction is over, it is immediately time to enter the blind stone auction.
"The first blind stone, the starting price is 2,000 silver coins, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 silver coins each time"
“3000”
“4000”
“6000”
It was only the first blind stone that began, and the competition was so fierce, Lin Hui looked at these people who made a lot of money, and there was only envy in his eyes. After auctioning the fifth blind stone, Lin Hui got up and left, this time after all, he was just here to increase his knowledge, and before bidding for the blind stone, he saw the auction of the spirit stone. It was a spirit stone with a diameter of three inches, exuding a rich spiritual power. Lin Hui wanted to try it, but when the housekeeper said the starting price, Lin Hui hurriedly pressed down his raised hand.
"Where are you going next" Lin Hui walked out of the Tianju Pavilion and looked around. I thought that I had paid the tuition this time, and I would definitely buy the spirit stone next time. Why don't you go and see how to make money first?
Lin Hui returned to the inn with him, and when the man saw him come back, he wiped the stool with the white cloth on his shoulder and asked Lin Hui to sit down.
"Guest officer, how is it, have you bought the spirit stone?" The guy asked.
"No, it's too expensive!" Lin Hui sighed and shook his head.
The guy also smiled when he heard this, "Guest officer, that place is indeed not something that we can consume, but I have a way to make money quickly, I don't know if you are interested."
"Oh? Let's hear it," Lin Hui was interested when he heard it.
The guy went out and looked left and right, then turned around and whispered in Lin Hui's ear, "I have news, a cave has appeared in Moon Wolf Mountain in the west of Nanyang City, and now several expedition teams are going over there, my eldest brother is just looking for teammates to go together in Nanyang City, if you want, my eldest brother and I will only speak"
"Your eldest brother? Expedition squad?" This is the second time Lin Hui has heard of the expedition team.
"Don't worry, my eldest brother is the captain of the Wind Squad, and his strength has already been built in half a step, but one of the team members has been injured recently, so he wants to find one temporarily" The guy explained
"Okay, when are you going" Lin Hui thought about it, this kind of task used to be often taken in his hometown, as long as he paid attention to it, it was nothing
Seeing Lin Hui agree, the guy smiled and said, "Three days later, it's still here."
At night, Lin Hui sat on the bed, put the spirit stone aside, and absorbed the spiritual power. Although the quality of this spirit stone was inferior, it was indeed much faster than the usual speed of absorbing spiritual power, which made him want to obtain high-quality spirit stones to improve his strength.
"Xiaobai, you come out," Lin Hui exhaled slowly, ending his cultivation
Rin Bai appeared in front of him from the jade tablet and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"Ahem, I said. This time I want to follow the expedition team to Moon Wolf Mountain, I'm not afraid that my strength is not enough, so I ask you, are there any treasures or anything like that for me to defend myself" Lin Hui rubbed his hands and looked at Rin Bai with an expectant expression
"Nope! The master's treasures are all placed in the treasure pavilion, and you need to reach the foundation building realm to open them," Rin Bai shook his head.
"Is there any exercise in that, the secret can be cultivated now" Lin Hui asked without giving up
"Exercises? Well.... Yes, I remembered, it seems that there is a "Rin Bai lowered his head and thought, suddenly his eyes lit up, and with a wave of his hand, a white light drilled into Lin Hui's brain.
"Yun Mai Gong"
"The master mentioned that this exercise is too time-consuming, although there is indeed merit in the later stage of practice, but a lot of spiritual power is required in the early stage, which undoubtedly hinders the progress of cultivation, so the master did not receive this exercise in the treasure pavilion."
Lin Hui closed his eyes and received, a quaint book appeared in Lin Hui's mind, and words were transmitted in his mind.
"Yun Mai Gong, absorbing spiritual power as the foundation, paying attention to accumulation-oriented, thick accumulation..."
After the transmission of the exercise, Lin Hui opened his eyes, he probably understood why the master of Rin Bai said that this exercise took time, Yunmai Gong is mainly about accumulating power, inhaling spiritual power and compressing spiritual power, and then storing it in the dantian, without absorbing spiritual power, you can't improve your strength. But there are also benefits, the stored spiritual power can be used to break through the reserve power when the bottleneck is broken, but it takes more time just to store the spiritual power, not to mention improving the strength.
"It's really a waste of time, it's a bit of a chicken rib," Lin Hui couldn't help frowning. I finally had a book of exercises that I could practice, but it didn't work.
