Chapter Seventy-Two: A New World
On the auction table.
Zi Xuan held the scepter representing the auction right in her hand, and said seriously: "Ladies and gentlemen, this atlas has been identified by the appraiser of our auction house, and it is determined that it is a treasure map, but we have no way to identify the specific location marked on the treasure map.
I need to explain that this treasure map was not entrusted to us by a guest, but was obtained by the powerhouses of our Baishun Trading House when they ventured in a desolate ruins. ”
"Therefore, we have no way of judging its value, so we finally decided to set a reserve price of one tael of blue gold for it, and no less than one tael of blue gold each time, and now the bidding begins. ”
Ye Tong tried his best to restrain his emotions, and he was not in a hurry to bid, he had already made up his mind, even if the Blood Demon Worm couldn't buy it, he had to buy this Kunlun map.
"Do you want to buy it?" Mu Xiaochen often observed Ye Tong's expression, and after discovering his strange appearance at this moment, he suddenly asked in surprise.
Ye Tong nodded and said, "I want to buy it." ”
Mu Xiaochen said: "Whether this scroll is a treasure map or not, even its Baishun Commercial Bank can't tell the difference, so it doesn't make much sense to buy it, right?"
Ye Tong did not answer.
Kunlun Tu does not have much meaning to the people in this world, but it has a different meaning to him, his soul inexplicably crossed into this world, as if it was cut off from the past, which made him always confused in his heart.
Treasure map.
For the adventurers in this world, it is definitely a very tempting thing, if you can find the treasure through the treasure map, you can ascend to the sky in one step and enrich your life.
A tael of blue gold starts at a price.
With the bidding of a large number of bidders, the price soared all the way, and in just a few quarters of an hour, it directly skyrocketed to the point of 80,000 taels of blue gold.
"One hundred thousand taels of blue gold. ”
On the fourth floor, a distinguished guest opened his mouth, and directly raised the price of 20,000 taels of blue gold.
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Two hundred thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Three hundred thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Grandma, this thing is so valuable?"
Mu Xiaochen sat beside Ye Tong in a daze, his face was full of incredulity, as the prince of the county prince's mansion, he naturally didn't understand the thoughts of those adventurers, and muttered: "Are they all crazy? Let's not talk about whether there is a treasure or not, if there is, it is not clear how much the treasure is worth......! Why do you buy a picture scroll so recklessly?"
Ye Tong said calmly: "Ma Wuye grass is not fat, people are not rich, there are many adventurers in this world, for the sake of wealth, countless cultivators often hover on the edge of life and death, and now that a treasure map has appeared, naturally there are many who want to fight." If you win, you will make a lot of money, and if you lose, you will lose hundreds of thousands of taels of blue gold. ”
"Gambler mentality. Mu Xiaochen said with a complicated expression.
Ye Tong agreed with his words very much, and said: "People live for a lifetime, not only to choose, but also to gamble, just like me, in addition to cultivation, it is really boring to live, so I need to be a little excited, so I also have to bid for that treasure map, if I can get it, I can find something to do in the future." ”
"Okay!" Mu Xiaochen nodded with a wry smile.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaochen seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "In a few days, it will be the assessment of the three sects and two halls, if you can pass the assessment, you can join the Falan Sect, there will be a lot of things to do at that time, where is there time to explore the treasure?"
Ye Tong asked rhetorically, "Do you think I can pass?"
"This ......" Mu Xiaochen's face froze, thinking of Ye Tong's cultivation, he said stupidly: "What if you are lucky and pass in a daze?"
Ye Tong asked again, "Do you think it's possible?"
Mu Xiaochen laughed dryly, waved his hand and said, "That's it, if you are willing to bid, then buy it!"
Ye Tong smiled slightly, and when he heard the new bidding, the price of Kunlun Tu had been raised to 460,000 taels of blue gold, and he immediately shouted: "500,000 taels of blue gold." ”
"Five hundred and fifty thousand taels of blue gold!"
A moment later, another voice rang out.
Ye Tong said: "Five hundred and sixty thousand taels of blue gold." ”
"Six hundred thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Six hundred and one thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Seven hundred thousand taels of blue gold. ”
"Seven hundred and one thousand taels of blue gold. ”
Every time Ye Tong increased the price, he didn't increase the price too much, and only increased the price by 10,000 taels of blue gold.
In the upstairs box, there was no quotation for a long time, and finally Zixuan's eyes were full of brilliance, and when she was about to ask again and again, the other party smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, it is a hero who is a young man, and the little brother is generous, admire, since you want this treasure map, let it be given to you!"
"Thank you!" Ye Tong said loudly.
Seats on the first floor.
Alotta frowned, this is the third time Ye Tong has participated in the bidding, and each time he will smash out at least 500,000 taels of blue gold, and in the third auction, he has smashed nearly two million taels of blue gold, how can he have so much wealth as a hillbilly from a remote area?
Or is that guy playing pig and eating tiger all the time?
Alota's hatred for Ye Tong has decreased a lot, and she thinks in her heart, if she has the opportunity in the future, she must find out the details of Ye Tong and see who that kid is?
Soon the Kunlun map was sent to Ye Tong, and when he paid for the golden ticket, he couldn't wait to look at the parchment roll in his hand.
"That's right. ”
"The topography is Kunlun Mountain. ”
"Could it be that in this world, there is also an existence similar to Kunlun Mountain?"
"If not, how could this Kunlun map appear in this world? Who drew it?"
"Is there any connection between this world and the earth?"
Ye Tong's mind was racing rapidly, and countless years were churning in his mind. His gaze was fixed on the two rows of traditional handwriting:
"Once out of Kunlun, there is no Kunlun. ”
"Cut off the past and go to the gate of heaven bravely. ”
Ye Tong pondered these two sentences in his heart for a moment, looked up at Mu Xiaochen and asked, "Do you know what the Heavenly Gate is?"
Mu Xiaochen was stunned for a moment, then became weird, and asked, "You don't know?"
Ye Tong shook his head, in this world, he didn't know much about anything other than poison, and he was even inferior to the medicine slaves around him.
Mu Xiaochen said with a smile and a smile: "Do you know what all the cultivators are trying their best to cultivate, wanting to become stronger? Do you know why there are only a handful of strong people in the Dongmu Continent, and even the Five Directions Continent in this heaven and earth? Do you know where the cultivators who are stronger than the Jiedan Realm or the Jiedan Realm have gone?"
Ye Tong's heart was shocked, as if he realized something, and hurriedly asked, "Why?
Mu Xiaochen thought about it and said with relief: "No wonder, you have been living in Hanshan City, and the level of contact is too low, I will popularize it for you today." ”
Gradually. Through Mu Xiaochen's explanation, Ye Tong finally learned more about the situation in this world.
Star World.
The real name of this world.
There are a total of five continents in the Star World, namely: Dongmu Continent, Nanyao Continent, Xichen Continent, Beili Continent and Zhongzhu Continent.
The four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest are four continents, while the Central Pillar Continent is in the very center of the four continents, and between the five continents, there is a vast sea area, which is vast and boundless.
And in the middle of the Middle Pillar Continent, there is a road to the sky, and at the top of the ladder to the sky, it is the Heavenly Gate called by the cultivators of this world, and it is also the entrance to the upper world, the only entrance.
The look on Ye Tong's face had completely changed.
His worldview was changed abruptly, and he listened dumbfounded as Mu Xiaochen finished speaking, and only after a long time did he mutter: "In other words, the world we are in now is only the lowest world, and the cultivators of this world can enter the higher level world through the ladder of ten thousand feet?"
"That's right!" Mu Xiaochen said solemnly.
Ye Tong swallowed his saliva, his eyes became hot, he thought that this world was already wonderful, but he didn't expect that what he learned was only the tip of the iceberg, there are more exciting places here, more exciting worlds.
And perhaps Kunlun on the earth also has some kind of inexplicable connection with the heavenly gate of this world.
Mu Xiaochen watched Ye Tong's face change, and said with a wry smile: "You should think about it now, you must enter the upper layer of the world to have a look, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Tong had no intention of concealing it.
Mu Xiaochen smiled bitterly: "Don't dream, let's not talk about the entire Star World, just our Dongmu Continent, the number of cultivators is hundreds of millions, but what is the result?"
How many people will be able to cross the entire continent and reach the edge of the sea? Even if they do it in their lives, how many people will be able to cross the vast sea and reach the Central Pillar Continent? Even if they can get lucky or reach the Central Pillar Continent, how many people will be able to reach the ladder alive? Even if they can come to the ladder of climbing, how many people will be able to climb the ladder?"
"What?" Ye Tong's heart was like falling into an ice cave, and he was stunned by Mu Xiaochen's series of questions.
Mu Xiaochen waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I am a cultivation genius in Zifu County, I can easily enter the three sects and two halls to cultivate, and I will have the opportunity to go to the Zhongzhu Continent in the future, but I don't have the slightest confidence to be able to climb the ladder to the sky and push open that heavenly gate!"
Ye Tong was silent.
He knew that what Mu Xiaochen said was true, just from his words, he could hear that there were many difficulties on the way here, nine deaths and one life, if the Ten Thousand Feet Ladder to Heaven had harsh conditions for cultivators, I was afraid that many people would be eliminated.
After a while, Ye Tong asked, "What conditions can ensure that you can pass through that heavenly gate?"
Mu Xiaochen said: "A strong man in the realm of Yudan. ”
"Jiedan realm!" Ye Tong groaned, his eyes showed a determined look, the road is long, I will go up and down and seek, as long as I can see hope, he will overcome thorns and thorns, and face the wind.
Mu Xiaochen didn't know what Ye Tong was thinking, and there was also a look of yearning in his eyes, hoping that one day, through his own hard work, he would be able to climb the ladder to the sky, push open the gate of heaven, and appreciate the magnificence of the upper world.
This is a dream! It's his dream! It's also the dream of all the cultivators in the entire Star World!
Mu Xiaochen suddenly raised his head and said, "The Blood Demon Worm has started to be auctioned, your blue gold ...... Is it enough?"
