Chapter 149: The Ten Thousand Year Assembly
As more and more monks gathered in Xuanwu City, the atmosphere of the auction was gradually brewing and fermenting. However, on the eve of the start of the auction, there was not good news, that is, because there were too many monks who came to hear the wind, in order to limit the number of people who entered, the admission price of this auction had reached a terrifying point, and a superb spirit stone was needed to obtain a jade medal for entry!
Because the auction of Xuanwu City is one of the top auctions in the Chengtian Continent, although the monks of Chengtian Prefecture and the monks of Xuanwu Prefecture, which are dominated by Chengtian Gate, have always been not harmonious, but they also have to participate in this kind of grand event, just like the auction of Xuantian City, the monks of Xuanwu Prefecture, especially high-level monks, must also come in person. After all, this kind of friction is just an undercurrent, and it will not be revealed on the surface, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more cherished the things you need, many things are available but not sought, and on the occasion of auctions, you can often meet the treasures that you have been looking for for many years and cannot get, and if you miss this time, you may not have a chance with it for life. The Chengtian Continent is too vast, and the treasures produced are also varied, and many desirable treasures are not even clear about their origins, so in this case, they can only rely on the monks to meet the opportunity in their travels, and then on the occasion of the auction, they will take out the things they don't need and bid for the treasures they urgently need.
Compared with the small exchange meeting between monks, the auction is much more secure on occasions like the auction, and the major auction houses are only responsible for identifying the grade of the treasures sent by the seller, and never ask about the origin, which is also the criterion for the survival and development of the auction. Since everyone has a demand in the auction, it is tacitly not to disrupt the auction, but will do their best to maintain the better development of the auction, so that they can have more opportunities to get the treasures they urgently need or even need.
At such a price, not to mention that you can't get it out at all for casual cultivation, it is just some smaller sect families, and there are only a few top-grade spirit stones that have been accumulated over the years, and just one side of the jade card for entry, you need a top-grade spirit stone, what treasure can you bid for with the few spirit stones you have left? In this way, after the auction, the auction house will make the treasure of this auction into phantom stones, and spend hundreds of ten low-grade spirit stones, you can buy a piece, which not only has images, but also detailed information introduction, you can feast your eyes, and the auction house can not only make another profit, but also spread the momentum of the auction.
Su Aotian can naturally take out the best spirit stone, but he also understands that his wealth is not exposed, he is such a loose cultivator with no door and no faction, and his cultivation is only knotted, and he is willing to spend a piece of the best spirit stone into the auction hall, will there be less of the best spirit stone on his body? The real treasures were all fought for by these monks at the highest level, the most powerful, and at the top of the Chengtian Continent, and they had nothing to do with him completely.
Su Aotian knew that he had no chance to participate in this auction, not only him, but also eight or nine out of ten monks in Xuanwu City knew that he had no chance to see the grand occasion of the auction this time, but they still did not leave in Xuanwu City, because this kind of auction on a scale once in 10,000 years, not to mention that the auction time would last for a year or two, and its impact would not be eliminated in the next hundred and ten years. Many monks come from far and wide and are destined to return empty-handed at the auction, but since so many monks have finally gathered together, and they have nothing to gain at the auction, in order to avoid returning empty-handed, after the auction, there will be some small exchange meetings of monks of the same level, generally there will be a few monks who are still familiar with each other, and everyone will greet some acquaintances and friends and the like, and the scale is also large and small, and everyone will benefit each other.
Towards the end of this kind of fair, there are still unwilling monks, and some places such as trading markets will be organized, and everyone will simply set up stalls, take out the things they don't need, or sell or exchange, in short, to avoid running in vain. If the auction is a place for high-end monks to compete, then these exchange meetings, trading markets and the like are places for low-end monks to hunt for treasures.
Su Aotian is not very interested in these things, the things on his body are all things that he thinks are useful, and the things brought by others are all eager to exchange for some favorite things, and basically refuse to buy them with spirit stones, so he knows that the probability of exchanging good things is also very low. Since this is the case, it is better to leave as soon as possible, find Murong Qiubai first, and then discuss how to find Tianfeng Valley. But the once-in-a-million event was missed like this, and he was a little hesitant, thinking about whether he should stay, after all, there are too many monks in the city now, maybe he can get one or two missing treasures?
In this hesitant mood, the auction was held as scheduled. The tall auction hall in Xuanwu City was crowded, and the most energetic were those low-level monks who couldn't afford to buy the jade medal for admission, and watched the excitement around the side, and those monks who had obtained the admission qualifications from famous families and celebrity families were also pretending to be indifferent in the eyes of everyone's envy, but in fact, they walked into the auction hall happily, not to mention those VIPs, either beast cars or sedan chairs, and even those who sat on flying magic weapons, anyway, they couldn't walk in, so as not to lose their identity.
Su Aotian felt a little out of place in this lively atmosphere, and when he was bored, he thought that it would be better to cultivate for a while. As soon as he thought of cultivation, he naturally thought of the Lingshan Holy Land of these famous sects, and suddenly an idea popped up: "Such a grand event, the high-level monks in Xuanwu City are only afraid that they will all pour out, there will definitely not be many brilliant monks left in the sect, can I sneak in, borrow their Lingshan Holy Land, cultivate for a year and a half, and wait for the auction to end before leaving, wouldn't it be better than practicing for years or decades?"
As soon as this idea popped up, it couldn't be stopped, the more I thought about it, the more feasible it was, relying on my own divine sense to lay a ban, these left-behind monks should not be able to find it, this opportunity is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, not to be missed.
Su Aotian immediately took action, and in the lively atmosphere of the city, he walked in the direction of Xuanwu Mountain. The best place for aura in Xuanwu City is Xuanwu Mountain, which is also the base camp of the Gu family, one of the four major families, and some of the Lingshan holy lands are all occupied by first-class forces such as the Zhao family, the Liao family, Biling Valley, the Yang Sword Sect, and the Fengqing Gate.
Not far from Xuanwu Mountain, Su Aotian was afraid that this was the fundamental place of the Gu family, and there would be great power to protect him at any time, so he didn't dare to go deep and walked along the mountain range to the distance. The aura in these places is much worse than the main peak, but for Su Aotian, it is still a place of cultivation where the aura is so strong that it is outrageous, he is already satisfied with this place, for the sake of safety, he plans to go farther, and then find a more secret place to place a ban on cultivation.
During the continuous exploration of his divine sense, Su Aotian found that there was a small mountain peak in front of him, which was not easy to be noticed in the shadow of the mountains, but the intensity of the aura was stronger than the mountain peaks next to him, and he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, it was a suitable place for cultivation, so he quietly sneaked over.
During the divine sense investigation, he faintly felt that something was wrong, and when he got closer and took a closer look, he knew that although the mountain peak was not big, at the foot of the mountain, someone had arranged a prohibition.
If you fly up from the air rashly, there is a chance that people will be detected, and besides, since there is a ban at the foot of the mountain, it is difficult to say whether there are other means in mid-air. The best way is to break the ban, so that you can sneak in without knowing and cultivate with confidence.
Su Aotian is still very sure about breaking the ban, if he doesn't know the other party's methods, at most, he will only use his divine sense to slowly dissolve, which should not cause the caster's detection. Su Aotian calmly condensed, and his divine sense slowly leaned towards the prohibition, carefully probing the structure of the prohibition.
After a while, I understood that the level of this prohibition was not high, and the caster's divine soul cultivation was too far worse than his own, and it was not difficult to break it. Su Aotian found the right starting point and began to analyze the structure of the prohibition, he thought that it was best to crack it smoothly, so that there would be no traces and it would be safer. The divine consciousness circled all the way along the other party's forbidden structure, and after a while, he felt that this prohibition was familiar, as if he had been exposed to it somewhere, and he couldn't help but feel strange. After a closer look, the familiar feeling became more obvious, and Su Aotian's mind flashed with inspiration, this forbidden structure actually followed the "Twelve Laws of the Yellow Palace!"
This "Twelve Laws of the Yellow Palace" is the knowledge of music theory recorded by the Nine Evil Qin Demons in the book "Heavenly Demon Qin Score", and it was actually used to form a ban, which shows that the person who arranged the ban must have a deep understanding of music theory, otherwise it can't be banned!
Although Su Aotian boasted that he had excellent divine knowledge and extraordinary prohibitions, he still followed some conventional methods of arranging prohibitions, and he couldn't do it if he applied music rhythm to prohibitions like this! This is not to say that the caster's attainments in prohibitions surpassed him, but he was ingenious, with his own unique views on music and rhythm, he was able to integrate into the prohibition, this hand made Su Aotian greatly admired, and deeply felt that there are no wonders in the world, and there are so many capable people!
