declined Cheng Xuan's invitation to share dinner, and Fu Qingyu took Fu Yu to the most lively street in the city.

There are a variety of restaurants on both sides of the road, and night is approaching, when the street is at its busiest.

Walking into a restaurant specializing in yokan on the street, I heard that some diners were discussing the Bodhi fruit auctioned today.

"The price of Bodhi fruit is really more expensive every time, three years ago, the Bodhi fruit of Fayan Temple seems to be still thirty or forty thousand spirit stones, right?"

"Before that, the Bodhi fruit of the Buddha Light Sect seemed to be less than 30,000 spirit stones......

"Why don't you say it was earlier? More than ten years ago, we didn't have more than these three Bodhi trees in Dongzhou. ”

Fu Qingyu sat down quietly at the empty table by the window, "Two bowls of yokan and four flax cakes." ”

"Gotcha." The shopkeeper took the spirit stone and walked away.

Diners are still talking about the linden fruit, but no one mentions the fourth linden tree more than a decade ago.

The vanishing Bodhi tree, as well as the disappeared family, seem to have long become a "forbidden word" in the land of Dongzhou.

Fu Qingyu's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She had already learned from Jiang Jinzheng that not long after the Fu family's accident, a rumor emerged in Dongzhou, saying that the fire on the Fu family's ground that could not be extinguished was caused by God's curse. It was precisely because the Fu family was angry with Heaven that they would end up in this extermination.

For a time, the Fu family was known as unknown.

After burning, not a single grass grows, and the Fu family land, which turns into a place of absolute spirits, is also known as an ominous place.

The once thriving area of Dawn City has become a deserted place in just one year.

In just fifteen years, the Fu family, which was once famous throughout Dongzhou, has gradually been forgotten.

Fu Qingyu didn't think the rumors were accidental......

I am afraid that the so-called remarks of "angering the way of heaven" and "sending down heaven's curse" are also artificially fabricated and deliberately disseminated.

There were a lot of customers in the restaurant, and almost every table was seated.

A few tables away from Fu Qingyu, next to the slightly smaller square table in the corner, the white-bearded old man who was drinking yokan heard the discussion of the diners just now, and the action of drinking soup was slightly paused, and he glanced back at the few people who spoke, and then withdrew his gaze and continued to take a small sip of the yokan on the table.

The moment he turned around, Fu Qingyu recognized it.

Isn't this the old man who sat on his left hand when bidding for Bodhi not long ago?

"What a coincidence." Fu Qingyu muttered quietly.

Fu Yu followed her line of sight and also noticed the old man.

The old man's senses seemed to be extremely keen, and the moment Fu Yu looked at the past, he realized it, and raised his head to look at their table.

His gaze paused on Fu Yu for a moment, and then he looked at Fu Qingyu next to him, and nodded slightly after his gaze.

"The two of you have yokan and flax cakes, which taste best when they are hot!" The shopkeeper came over with a tray, just blocking their view.

The second little one in the store turned to leave, and the old man at the corner table had already turned around, and he could only see half of his side face.

Fu Yu said, "Do you know that senior?" ”

Fu Qingyu shook her head.

There was no resemblance in her memory, and she was sure that today was the first time she had seen the old man.

However, the old man gave her a very unusual feeling......

The cultivation that was obviously exposed was only in the early stage of Jindan, and it was slightly inferior to the previous Cheng Xuan, but Fu Qingyu felt that this old man seemed to be able to see through them, and even heard their transmission at that time.

It is very likely that the old man's cultivation is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface, that is, he doesn't know what realm he is and what identity he is hiding.

But none of this has anything to do with her.

Decades of experience tell Fu Qingyu not to be too curious about other people's affairs.

Leaving the restaurant, the mother and son found a larger inn in the city, Fu Yu took the pill to concentrate on cultivation, and Fu Qingyu began to concoct the medicinal materials prepared for refining the Heart Nourishing Pill in the next room.

…

"Yu Daoyou, this way!"

In front of the door of Bailing Pavilion, Cheng Xuan beckoned to Fu Qingyu and the others who came over.

"Cheng Daoyou."

The two didn't say much to each other, Cheng Xuan led the way inside, "It's about to start inside, let's go in quickly." ”

Compared with yesterday's scene of Xuantianmen bidding for Bodhi Fruit, there were many fewer people in this auction in Bailing Pavilion, and there were less than 100 people in total.

All the lots have been displayed on the stage, and a wooden box has been placed in front of each lot.

The box was smeared with a layer of golden powder, and Fu Qingyu recognized that it was a medicinal powder ground from the roots of the Broken Cloud Vine used to isolate the divine sense.

Cheng Xuan introduced to her: "The auction form of Bailing Pavilion is different from the past, if you like it, you only need to engrave the price in your heart into the jade plate, put it into the box, and the one with the highest price will get it in the end." ”

Fu Qingyu was stunned when she heard this.

No wonder he had to smear the outside of the wooden box with a medicinal powder that blocked the divine sense.

There are a total of thirty-five lots in Bailing Pavilion, the highest grade is a three-grade fire cloud ginseng, and the rest are mostly fifth-grade and sixth-grade spirit plants.

Fu Qingyu and the Hanshan grass they fancy were placed in an inconspicuous position next to them, and it was conceivable that if it weren't for the fact that this was an elixir that could be used with Bodhi fruit, but with its seven-grade grade, it should not be eligible to be carried to the auction of Bailing Pavilion.

Seeing Fu Qingyu and Cheng Xuan walking to the Hanshan grass, the steward of Bailing Pavilion introduced the two of them: "We have prepared a total of thirty Hanshan grasses, with ten as a group, and those who bid in the box will take the first three auctions." ”

Cheng Xuan discussed with Fu Qingyu Chuanyin, "Among the people who came today, a few of them also won the Bodhi fruit yesterday. Although the grade of Hanshan grass is low, the competition is not small, according to the Taoist friends, what price should we offer? ”

Fu Qingyu groaned slightly, "To be safe, it's a little higher than usual, how about 40,000 spirit stones?" ”

Cheng Xuan has no objection.

After all, hundreds of thousands of Bodhi fruits have been bought, and these tens of thousands of spirit stones are not bad.

He carved the negotiated price into the jade plaque with the power of his divine sense, and threw it into the wooden box in front of the cold mountain grass.

"Yu Daoyou, do you have anything else you like?" Cheng Xuan asked.

Fu Qingyu nodded.

In addition to Lingzhi, there are also two Dan furnaces in this auction in Bailing Pavilion, the quality is not inferior to Jin Yi's golden silk furnace, she is going to buy one and give it to Yu Zhu after returning.

However, there is no need to talk to Cheng Xuanming about this, Cheng Xuan is also very measured, and he didn't inquire about the items and prices that Fu Qingyu liked.

After saying hello, they split into two groups, each looking at other interested lots.

After carving the appropriate price into the jade plaque and putting it into the wooden box in front of the Dan furnace, Fu Qingyu caught a glimpse of Fu Yu's somewhat envious look, and understood that this child was eating his little cousin's vinegar.

smiled and said, "Yu'er, if you like something, just say it, my mother will buy it for you." ”

With his mind pierced, Fu Yu pulled the corners of his mouth in shame, in fact, what he wanted was not anything, it was just his mother's words.

Although Fu Yu had already said that he didn't have anything he wanted, Fu Qingyu still stopped in front of a uniquely shaped defensive magic weapon and put in a suitable price.

Turning around, I was about to look at other items when I saw the old man I had seen yesterday walking in from outside.
