"The city that never sleeps?"

Jiang Yanlu looked at the three words on the jade plate and read it softly.

She'd heard of the City That Never Sleeps.

On the open day of the sect, there was a vendor selling fake and shoddy Lingshan spring water at the foot of the mountain of the Taixuan Sword Sect, and deceived everyone by saying that the "Lingshan Spring Water" in his hand flowed from the city that never sleeps.

Cheng Xingqian nodded on the side and said, "Exactly, this is the jade plate of the city that never sleeps." ”

After a pause, he added, "It's a jade plate that can be entered into the auction." ”

The jade plate is equivalent to a one-time admission ticket to the city that never sleeps.

An ordinary jade medal, worth five thousand spirit stones.

Those who have a jade pass can stay in the city that never sleeps for half a month without being expelled.

The jade plate that Cheng Xingqian gave to Jiang Yanlu was a higher-level cold jade pass jade plate, which was an admission ticket to the auction in the city that never sleeped, with a minimum value of 30,000 spirit stones.

The reason why it is said to be the lowest is because this kind of cold jade pass jade plate is very rare, and it is not available every day.

Only when the city that never sleeps plans to hold an auction will dozens of pieces be released.

These Jiang Yanlu have also heard of it.

The auction in the City That Never Sleeps is the largest auction in the Three Realms.

Each lot is either priceless or a treasure.

On the day these cold jade pass jade plates are released at one time, they will be quickly snatched up.

Those who did not grab the jade medal could only buy it from others at a high price.

Or spend a lot of money and arrange people to squat in advance.

In this way, the cost of spirit stones will be more than 30,000.

And that's just a ticket to the auction.

Jiang Yanlu asked Cheng Xingqi: "This jade plate cost you a lot of spirit stones, right?" ”

Cheng Xingqian smiled and said, "Little Senior Sister doesn't have to feel distressed, my father gave me a lot of spirit stones!" ”

If it weren't for the spirit gathering talisman given to him by the little senior sister and the two fourth-grade red blood transformation elixirs, plus her spur to herself every once in a while.

It was impossible for him to break through his cultivation to the late stage of the Jindan Realm before the Great Competition of the Cultivation Realm.

His father won't reward him with an additional hundred thousand spirit stones.

This cold jade pass jade plate is a thank you gift he used to thank the little senior sister.

Cheng Xingqian continued: "I heard that in this auction in the City That Never Sleeps, there are also fragments of rune arrays brought out by powerhouses of the Transformation God Realm who risked their lives to bring out from the secret realm, and the major rune cultivators are all ready to move on this. ”

"Little Senior Sister, aren't you studying the talisman and talisman array, should we go to the auction to have a look?"

"I've calculated the time, after the auction, we rushed back from the city that never sleeps, and it was almost the time to go to Kunlun Palace together to participate in the Great Competition of the Xiuzhen Realm."

The words "Fu Array Fragment" made Jiang Yanlu's heart move fiercely.

She nodded, "Good!" Let's prepare for today and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

＊

After more than ten days of driving, Jiang Yanlu followed Cheng Xingqian to a bustling and lively market.

The two of them collected their swords and walked in the bustling crowd.

After walking for another hour, turning seven or eight streets, finally turning into a dilapidated and deserted alley.

The alley was narrow and long, and the crumbling stone bricks on one side of the wall were covered with blue-black moss.

The air smells damp and moldy.

Jiang Yanlu subconsciously frowned.

It was quiet here.

It was so quiet that only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard.

Suddenly, I heard an abrupt cat meow.

A big orange and white fat cat leaped off the wall, moving nimbly, and in the blink of an eye it scurried into a shop at the end of the alley.

Jiang Yanlu and Cheng Xingqian glanced at each other.

Cheng Xingqian said: "Little Senior Sister, it should be there." ”

Jiang Yanlu stared at the past: "Go over and take a look." ”

It's an abandoned shop.

The shop is sunny, and the light inside is dim.

The two wooden doors were wide open inward, and the squeaks of disrepair were constantly emitting from the junction between the door panels and the door frame.

On the torn window paper, dust and cobwebs coexisted.

The ground was also covered with a thick layer of dust.

There is also a row of crooked kitten paw prints printed on it.

Looking in along the paw prints, Jiang Yanlu saw the big fat cat that had just flashed by.

and the old woman who holds the big fat cat in her arms.

She looked very old, and her back was very stiff, like a turtle shell.

The hair is gray, the skin is dark, and there seems to be no excess flesh on the face, except for a crumpled skin covered with dark spots, covered in a skeleton.

With her head hanging and her eyelids drooping, she covered her eyes, breathing unusually slowly, and sat on a wooden chair with a backrest by the counter, slowly stroking the cat in her arms.

The figure is between light and darkness, like a withered old tree that is about to lose its life.

The big fat cat raised its head, and a pair of royal blue eyes stared intently at Jiang Yanlu and the others.

Meow softly again.

The old woman seemed to sense the two guests at the door.

She continued to droop her eyelids, not even looking at the two of them.

He said slowly: "The guest has gone to the wrong place, and the old woman's shop has long been abandoned and does not do business." ”

Cheng Xingqian took two steps forward and showed the two cold jade pass jade plates in his hand.

spoke a string of languages that Jiang Yanlu didn't understand.

Only then did the old woman cheer up and slowly raise her head.

Turning two eyes that were not very flexible, his gaze fell from the cold jade jade plate in Cheng Xingqi's hand to Cheng Xingqian and Jiang Yanlu's bodies.

I looked at it for a long time.

Then he opened his wrinkled lips that were tucked in because of his tooth recession, and said, "Twenty thousand spirit stones." ”

Cheng Xingqi almost jumped up from the ground: "How much?!" You rob it! ”

The old woman ignored his jumping feet and slowly closed her eyes again.

Jiang Yanlu didn't know why, so he secretly sent a voice to Cheng Xingqi: "What does she mean?" ”

Cheng Xingqian sent back with a huff:

"This old woman is the gatekeeper in charge of the teleportation array leading to the entrance to the city that never sleeps, so I told her our purpose in code, and asked her to open the teleportation array for us."

"She actually opened her mouth and asked me for 20,000 spirit stones!"

"I'm Lingshiduo, but I'm not a fool!"

"I inquired before I came, and it only costs eight hundred spirit stones per person to enter the teleportation array, and then a few hundred spirit stones are stuffed into the gatekeeper as a thank you fee, so I don't need so much at all!"

Jiang Yanlu understood.

Thinking about it, this old woman saw Cheng Xingqian dressed gorgeously and expensively, and her face was like a crown of jade.

At a young age, it is two high-level jade medals.

At first glance, he is a child of a family with a deep background.

I had the idea of making a lot of oil and water.

Jiang Yanlu asked him, "Is there only this teleportation array in the cultivation realm that leads to the entrance of the Sleepless City?" ”

Cheng Xingqian said: "There are other places, but this is the closest teleportation array to us, if we change places now, I'm afraid we will miss the auction." ”

Jiang Yanlu understood: "I know, then you don't have to speak, leave it to me." ”

She took two steps forward and gave a discount directly:

"One price, two thousand spirit stones, if you agree, you will make a deal, if you don't agree, we will go somewhere else."

"Our two thousand spirit stones are going to be spent, and it is the same for us to give them to you and to others, so you will earn four hundred spirit stones less."

"I'll give you three breaths to think about it."

"Three, two, one."

Jiang Yanlu's mouth was like a machine gun, one sentence after another suddenly popped out, and then all of them were stuffed into her head, not giving her any time to think at all.

The countdown was so fast that before she could blink her eyelids, Jiang Yanlu finished speaking.

Then he pulled Cheng Xing's head and walked outside without looking back.

Stepping out of the threshold with neat steps, without the slightest drag.

Where has the old woman seen such a way of bargaining.

She couldn't think too much anymore, and her mind was full of thoughts that she was about to earn four hundred spirit stones less.

Seeing Jiang Yanlu's figure, he was about to completely disappear from his sight.

She hurriedly spoke: "Deal, two thousand spirit stones." ”

Jiang Yanlu's departing footsteps stopped instantly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
