In the upper room of an inn in Kangyuan City, Lin Zhao slowly opened his eyes, and two lightning flashes flashed, instantly illuminating the dark room.

Today is the day when Jin Yuanshan opens an auction, these days, Lin Zhao sits quietly in the room every day, polishing the true yuan, and refining the flesh.

After absorbing the flesh and blood essence of that frog, his own qi and blood essence became more and more huge, if it weren't for Lin Zhao's own martial arts cultivation, his qi and blood would have been like wolf smoke, like a bright sky, and it could be seen for ten miles.

But Lin Zhao relied on the martial arts spiritual will and strong control ability of the Bao Dan Realm to lock it tightly in his body without leaking a single bit.

Exiting the guest room and leaving Kangyuan City, Lin Zhao's face and figure began to change rapidly.

The figure of 1.9 meters shrank slightly, turning into a strong body of about 1.8 meters, and the handsome face gradually became ordinary as the facial muscles twisted, and the bun was spread out, slightly arranging and partially covering the eyes.

Suddenly, the image of a monk who looked to be forty or fifty years old and had some vicissitudes of life appeared in the air and flew towards the Jinyuan Mountain Cultivation Market.

Through the Jinyuan Mountain Illusion, Lin Zhao came directly to the entrance of the auction hall on the highest floor. After paying the entrance fee for the five lower grade spirit stones, Lin Zhao came to the auction hall of the Jinyuan Mountain Cultivation Market.

The auction hall is huge and can accommodate two or three hundred people. There is a high platform in the innermost part, which is a place to host auctions and display treasures.

There are stone chairs below, separated from each other and distributed in a fan-shaped pattern.

Huge stone pillars support the top stone wall, and the stone pillars and the top wall are inlaid with illuminated orbs, and the huge auction house grotto is full of light and light.

On the three stone walls of the auction hall, small stone rooms have been opened up, which are the private rooms of the auction room, and you can see the auction table below in the stone room. Specially receive some distinguished guests, of course, if the spirit stone is sufficient, it can naturally be seated.

At this time, someone had already arrived in the auction hall, sitting on the stone chair with their eyes closed, and two-thirds of the stone chairs were empty.

Lin Zhao just came to see, and he wasn't going to buy anything, so of course he wouldn't waste the spirit stone in vain and go to the private stone room on the side. I found a stone chair at the front and sat down, closed my eyes and comprehended the spell, and waited for the auction to begin.

After about half an hour, the voices of monks arriving were often heard in their ears, and some of them knew each other and talked to each other. Lin Zhao ignored it, his heart was as calm as water, and he still comprehended the magic.

Suddenly there was a clear bell in my ears, which cleansed my mind and made people think.

Lin Zhao opened his eyes and saw that on the high platform in front of him, there was an old monk with a short figure and a rich physique, who put down a dexterous small hammer with a smile, and there was a stand on the table in front of him, on which a small bronze bell was hung.

It was the sound of the bell that was struck just now.

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Jinyuanshan Cultivation Bazaar Auction House, this auction will start soon. It is still presided over by the old way, and the old friends are familiar with it, and the new friends can call me Hong Zhenzi, or they can call me a fat Taoist, and the old people don't mind. Without further ado, now the auction has officially begun. ”

This monk named Hong Zhenzi is witty and easy-going, and a few simple words can relax the new monk's spirits and be very infectious.

"The first lot is two bottles of the elixir "Earth Spirit Pill" used in the Jade Liquid Stage Condensation Realm, each bottle contains five "Earth Spirit Pill", which was refined by Master Tian of Huangya Valley. The starting price is 300 lower grade spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than ten lower grade spirit stones. Now I invite you to bid!"

"Three hundred spirit stones!" As soon as the fat Daoist's words fell, someone made a bid for it. "Three hundred and twenty spirit stones!"

"Three hundred and thirty lower grade spirit stones", "three hundred and fifty lower grade spirit stones".

The sound of bidding was endless, and there were four or five monks present who wanted to win it, and they kept raising their prices. Lin Zhao secretly sighed, this elixir is really in demand.

He didn't understand that the people in the cultivation world who had medium root bones were only three or four out of ten, and most of them were inferior root bones, and their cultivation was no longer as easy as in ancient times.

In the ancient times, the ancient Kun realm was full of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and the treasures of heaven and earth emerged in endlessly, all kinds of fairy roots and spiritual fruits, countless strange flowers and plants, and the cultivation system was also simple and simple, and the cultivation entered the realm very quickly.

Now, however, the spirit has withered, and the system of practice has become more and more elaborate and complex.

When the major sects in the cultivation world accept disciples, the requirements for the root bones are getting higher and higher, and it is not easy to achieve success because of the cultivation of immortal paths in the middle and low root bones.

Therefore, the practice attaches more importance to the elixir to improve the speed of practice.

Needless to say, the inferior root bones all rely on pills to improve their cultivation. More than 90 percent of the high-grade root bone cultivators also had to take some pills, otherwise their cultivation progress would still be slow.

Only a very small number of high-grade root bones, as well as some top-level root bones, rely on their own talents to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

Lin Zhao is one of these very few, he doesn't take any pills, he relies on his own cultivation, and he has to control the progress of his cultivation.

Compared with Gu Yufei who I met before, she is also a superior root, and she has been cultivated by Xianshu Zhenren since she was a child, and the Sanyang Divine Fire Sect is also a large sect, and it will still take nearly thirty years to cultivate to the Jade Liquid Realm.

Lin Zhao entered the Nanling Academy at the age of fifteen, and now he has been practicing for about thirteen years, he is already at the peak of the solid foundation realm, and his own foundation is extremely terrifying, so he will be favored by the real people in the Nanling Academy.

Now that he had witnessed the monks of the small sect and some of them who had no heels to scatter their cultivation, Lin Zhao knew how precious and valued the elixir was in the eyes of other monks.

For a while, I also secretly reminded myself that I must not be complacent, but should work harder, with more efforts and hardships than ordinary monks, in order to truly find the path of immortality.

The two bottles of the Earth Spirit Pill were finally auctioned by a monk for the price of four hundred and thirty lower-grade spirit stones. After that, some magic weapons, spirit grass, talismans, array plates and other treasures were discharged one after another, and some people were competing for auctions.

Lin Zhao watched quietly to increase his knowledge. At this time, the fat Taoist on the stage suddenly held up a jade plaque, the size of a baby's palm, with a Buddhist lotus flower and a Venerable relief pattern on it.

"The following lot is a jade plaque, although I don't know what it is used for, but the style is simple, and it should belong to Buddhism. The starting price is fifty lower-grade spirit stones, and the price increase is not less than five lower-grade spirit stones each time, please bid!"

The previous auction atmosphere was warm, many things were auctioned at good prices, and Fat Dao was the host of the auction, so he was naturally in a happy mood.

But after the fat Taoist finished speaking, no one shouted the price in the middle of the sound, but there was a cold scene.

The spirit stone in the monk's hand is not blown by the wind, don't look at the fierceness of the battle in front, but it is something useful to himself, everyone here is from a small sect, or a solitary cultivator, and his hands are not rich. It is also normal for such things of unknown use to appear in a cold field.

Lin Zhaozheng watched quietly, and suddenly his heart seemed to be touched, and after a while of counting the fingers in his big sleeve, he then said slowly: "Fifty lower-grade spirit stones." ”

The fat Taoist on the stage was about to put down the jade card, holding the idea of losing the auction, but when he heard someone bidding, his tone suddenly rose, and he shouted: "There are Taoist friends who offer fifty spirit stones, and there are still people who bid, otherwise this jade medal will belong to this Taoist friend!"

The tone of the fat Taoist was a little demagoguery, but the monks in the audience were silent. In the past about ten breaths, the fat Taoist did not mean to be discouraged, and began to count down happily.

In the end, the jade plaque belonged to Lin Zhao, and the guy from the auction house held the wooden plate and sent it to Lin Zhao. Lin Zhao took the jade plate and put fifty lower-grade spirit stones, even if the transaction was completed.

Since this jade plaque, seven or eight items have appeared immediately after, all of which are things of Buddhism, including demon pestles, robes, Zen sticks and other things.

Until the fat Taoist on the stage took out a jade box with a forbidden talisman on it, Lin Zhao recognized that this was a "forbidden spirit talisman", which was generally used to preserve the spiritual energy of the items inside from leaking.

The fat Taoist took off the forbidden spirit talisman, opened the jade box and took out the items inside, but it was a fruit, the fruit was crystal clear, and he knew that it was extraordinary just by looking at the appearance.

"An unknown spirit fruit, the starting price is five hundred lower-grade spirit stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than ten lower-grade spirit stones. Don't miss it if you have a smart eye, this is a good opportunity to pick up the leak!" As soon as the fat Taoist finished speaking, all the monks in the audience burst into laughter.

For a while, he was also amused by the words of the fat Taoist, and at the same time, he also successfully aroused the curiosity and covetousness of many monks.

But the result was that five or six breaths passed, and no one spoke.

Lin Zhao's heart was shocked, he recognized this spiritual fruit, but the classics in the Dao Law Hall of the Southern Spirit Academy also recorded that this spiritual fruit had been extinct after the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth 30,000 years ago!

This spiritual fruit is the "glazed fruit", which is produced by the "King Kong glazed tree". "King Kong Glass Tree" is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, the place of planting, must be the place where the spirit veins of heaven and earth and the spiritual water of the earth converge, the King Kong glass tree blooms once in three hundred years, bears fruit in three hundred years, and only matures in three hundred years.

Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a great sect of Buddhism called "King Kong Sect" in Lingzhou in the Southern Regions, which had a "King Kong Glass Tree".

It's a pity that in the catastrophe of heaven and earth 30,000 years ago, a meteorite fragment smashed near the "King Kong Sect", causing the sect to be destroyed in an instant, and since then the "King Kong Glass Tree" has lost its foundation in the ancient Kun realm.

Lin Zhao looked at the many books in the Taoist Law Palace, and had seen the introduction in a "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root Zhi Strange Record", so he recognized the origin of the spiritual fruit in the hands of the fat Taoist at a glance.

The monks in the audience looked at each other, looking at each other's faces, but they were all dazed. Even the surrounding alchemists in Huangya Valley, who are known as "masters" in their cognition of herbal spirit fruits, are also puzzled and unable to recognize the name of the spirit fruit.

Seeing that no one was silent, Lin Zhao also waited patiently to watch the direction of the situation.

The fat Dao man was a little embarrassed, a spirit fruit with a starting price of five hundred spirit stones would be cold, which was also a little unexpected. However, the fat Taoist saw a lot of such scenes, and then his face became casual, just quietly waiting for the reaction of everyone in the audience.

After another five breaths, someone couldn't help it and tried to shout the starting price. This voice was like a lead, and it suddenly detonated the bidding gap of seven or eight monks.

Of course, no one can recognize the origin and purpose of this spirit fruit, but if it is sealed in a jade box and the forbidden thing is sealed by the forbidden spirit talisman, how can it be bad? Some monks may be thinking, what if someone digs a pit and falsifies it?

Then there will be monks who will tell you that if you think too much, you will become stupid.

This has been appraised by the appraiser of the auction house of the Jinyuanshan Cultivation Market, and the management of the Jinyuanshan Market will not damage its reputation for this small gain.

After a while, the price of the spirit fruit had already exceeded seven hundred and twenty lower-grade spirit stones, and gradually no one began to bid anymore.

The fat Daoist on the stage has begun to count down, and it is about to be owned by the Huang Ya Gu Dan Master. But a hesitant voice suddenly came from the audience: "Seven hundred and thirty lower-grade spirit stones!"

Of course, the owner of this voice is Lin Zhao, if you want to talk about acting in the shopping mall, this is also the old business. Although Lin Zhao has not been doing this work for many years, the instinct engraved in the depths of his soul allows him to perform in his true colors at any time when he needs to.

"Seven hundred and forty lower-grade spirit stones!"

"Seven hundred and fifty lower-grade spirit stones!"

Monk Huang Yagu bid quickly, and Lin Zhao always had to be half a beat slower before he hesitated and continued to follow up with an unwilling tone.

"Eight hundred lower-grade spirit stones!" Lin Zhao's voice was full of madness, like a gambler who had pressed all his family fortunes, obviously red-eyed!

"This Daoist friend is polite, in the Yellow Bud Valley Dan Master Liu Bufan, can the Daoist friend give this fruit to me Huangya Valley, I can promise to give the Daoist friend a free shot, refining no higher than the first order of the pill. "Four or five Dan masters from Huangya Valley were sitting together, and at this time, a black-bearded monk arched his hand at Lin Zhao, calling himself Liu Bufan, and the intention of wooing was obvious.

The fat Taoist on the stage frowned, but he didn't make a sound.

It stands to reason that Huang Yagu's move has violated the rules of the auction house.

However, Huangya Valley was the only sect around that could refine second-order pills, no matter how many other sects within thousands of miles around, or scattered cultivators, if they wanted second-order pills, they could only go to the door to ask for them.

And the pill auctions in the Jin Yuanshan auction house all rely on the support of Huang Ya Gu, how could they offend the pillar for a loose cultivator like Lin Zhao who doesn't know the origin?

Lin Zhao heard Liu Bufan's words, but did not make a sound, as if he was considering, and the hesitation and struggle on his face changed back and forth. In the end, the muscles of his face were twisted, and he said in a frantic voice:

"Thank you Liu Daoyou for your kindness, but I am just cultivating in the next introduction, and the roots are not good. This time it can be regarded as a gamble with all your wealth, and if you want to win, you will naturally have a path in the future; if you lose, you will be ready to return to the ordinary world, and you will never set foot in cultivation again. So, please forgive Brother Liu Dao!"

In the end, the tone became firm, sonorous and powerful, and many monks in the audience listened to it, all of them showed a look of concern, and they no longer had the idea of watching the play, and they faintly sympathized with Lin Zhao in their hearts, or sympathized with themselves. Among them, the sourness can only be known.

Liu Bufan glanced at several Dan Masters and shook his head, not wanting to bother any more for this unclear spirit fruit, so he stopped shouting and fighting.

When the guy in the auction hall brought the jade box, Lin Zhao looked pained, and reluctantly put the eight hundred lower-grade spirit stones into the plate, staring at the guy with his eyes and walking away.

The dozen or so monks in the auction hall who had been paying attention to Lin Zhao finally showed a sneering look on their faces and ignored them anymore.

Lin Zhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, put the jade box into the storage ring, crossed his hands into his sleeves, and then stopped talking. Quietly watched as one item after another appeared and was photographed away.

After an hour, the auction was finally over, and everyone walked to the exit with the monks they knew well, talking and laughing, and getting along with ordinary people, no different.

Lin Zhao leaned on his body and walked slowly with the flow of people. There were five monks in the back who looked at each other, and quietly followed behind Lin Zhao, their eyes locked on Lin Zhao's every move.

Lin Zhao didn't realize it, and still moved forward, just lowered his head and hid a smile on the corner of his mouth!

Exactly: leaks in the auction room, blessings and misfortunes are impermanent!
