Chapter 39 And Spring, Summer, and Winter

After waiting for a while, the old Taoist priest finally brought back the beast bones and returned them to Mu Chen's hands.

"Okay, now that the quality and value of the animal bones have been upgraded, let's hurry to the auction house, otherwise we won't be able to catch up for a while. ”

"But you're really going to give me the extra money?"

"You must know that your beast bones can only be sold for twenty taels of silver, but now after we have repaired them, they are worth at least sixty taels or more!"

The old Taoist priest confirmed it again, and when he received an answer without any hesitation, his face suddenly bloomed.

He knew the bamboo leaf embroidery on Mu Chen's robe, and he was more assured of the credibility of the disciples of the Bamboo Sword Hall, in fact, the people of the seventy-two sects attached great importance to reputation, if they accidentally did something that disgraced the face of the sect outside, they might be expelled from the sect and become a casual cultivator.

This is probably something that all sect monks don't want to happen to themselves.

In order to get this 'reward' as soon as possible, the old Taoist priest led Mu Chen back into the alley here neatly, and he didn't even bother to take back the stall, only grabbed the cloth flag.

Mu Chen followed behind him, although his face was still gentle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, feeling that he had not embarrassed Zhujiantang, and remembered that the two had chatted for a long time, but they still didn't know their names, so he felt rude and hurriedly asked him.

"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. “

"The younger generation Mu Chen, Mu is the Mu of the wood, Chen is the Chen of the stars, the thirty-ninth generation disciple of the Bamboo Sword Hall, and the family teacher is the former Bamboo Sword Hall Sect Master Qin Xiuzi. ”

"I still don't know the name of my predecessor?"

When the old Taoist priest heard Mu Chen ask him about his identity, he suddenly limped under his feet, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

There is an old saying that a hero does not ask where he comes from, and a liar does not leave a name, but he has not yet been deceived by the silver, so he can only answer stumblingly.

"My surname is Zhang, I open my mouth and I have been practicing for more than 30 years. ”

"My friends all call me Zhang Banxian, so it's good if you call me that. ”

Zhang Banxian turned left and right in the alley, and his speed gradually increased.

Mu Chen followed behind, originally feeling strange, but after these few turns, a light blue barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, and he suddenly realized.

It turned out that Zhang Banxian was not walking around just now, but according to the gossip of Qimen, he deduced from the eight directions of the Qiankun to the eight directions of the Kangen and Xun, and only then did he pass through the barrier of the enchantment and come to the correct entrance of the monk's market.

Seeing Mu Chen's surprised face, Zhang Banxian stroked his beard and began to explain to him proudly.

"This is an enchantment set up to prevent ordinary people from straying into it. ”

"Because the monks are too mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people, and even the objects that the monks usually use are like immortal treasures in their eyes, so the trading places provided for monks often attract people from the world. ”

"With this layer of enchantment, even if the world's people hear that they can meet cultivators in Autumn City and buy treasures for cultivators, they will be led into the previous streets and alleys, and they will be sent away by us casual cultivators, and it will not affect the real monk trade. ”

Mu Chen realized this, and did not forget to dismiss in his heart.

This half-immortal said beautifully, sending away the worldly people, in fact, it is to use some sideways methods to defraud the worldly people of property, and it is clear at a glance what the intention is.

When they passed through the blue barrier and entered the enchantment, Mu Chen really saw the appearance of the Xiuzhen Realm Exchange.

The street is wide and bright, and the stalls full of goods are placed from the street to the end of the street, and the colorful stone and animal materials on the stalls dazzle people, and even the air is filled with the strong smell of elixir.

The monks who sell the goods strongly recommend the goods, and the monks who buy the goods look around and pick the materials they need.

The bazaar was bustling with activity, and there was a commotion not far away, and Mu Chen listened carefully, only to know that there were monks who were bargaining, arguing over the price of a few pieces of red gold and fine iron.

Mu Chen looked left and right and saw a lot of good things introduced in the book, but the price was expensive, so he could only look away.

He also saw wooden mechanisms similar to the bamboo mechanisms made by Xuan Qingzi, each of which cost about ten taels of silver, and there were more than twenty bamboo mechanisms handed over to him by Xuan Qingzi, large and small.

This shows that if he wants to make up for the shortfall, Mu Chen guesses that he has to bring back at least three hundred taels of silver from the sect, or maybe four hundred taels is enough.

Fortunately, according to Zhang Banxian's judgment, if the lowest-quality beast bones in his hands could be sold for sixty taels of silver, then as long as all the demon beast materials on his body were sold and thrown back to Xuan Qingzi, there would be a lot left.

I don't know what Mu Chen was thinking in his heart, Zhang Banxian didn't stop at all.

He had seen too much of this kind of scene, but he didn't think there was anything new, but he saw that Mu Chen didn't know it, and continued to explain.

"Don't look at the bustling and lively market, it's just a few days. ”

"There are four county towns on the Divine Continent that have trading places, and our cultivation realm calls them spring, summer, autumn and winter respectively, but there is no other meaning to name these four county towns after this, it is just a simple distinction. ”

"Although the four trading venues are open all year round, the auctions held once a quarter in the Xiuzhen Realm are held in rotation among the four counties according to the seasons. ”

"It's a coincidence that the auction is held in the middle of each quarter, and today is only the first day, so I guess your beast bone will definitely sell for a good price. ”

"And ......"

Listening to what Zhang Banxian said, Mu Chen had a deeper understanding of the excitement of Qiucheng at the moment.

In order to participate in the auction, monks from all over the country gathered here, which formed such a prosperous scene in front of us, and when the auction was over, everyone dispersed, and there were only a few merchants left in the autumn city that regularly sold basic materials.

Of course, the tradition of auctions can be passed down hundreds of years ago to the present day, and it is also because of the support of those four super sects.

Therefore, these four cities represent four different sects, among which Spring City corresponds to the Donglai Dao Sect, Xia City corresponds to the Phantom Sword Alliance, Autumn City corresponds to the Purple Cloud Ding Heavenly Palace, and Winter City corresponds to the Cold Ice Pavilion.

The organizer of this Autumn City auction is the Purple Cloud Peak Heavenly Palace.

When Zhang Banxian mentioned this, Mu Chen's mind involuntarily appeared with that fluttering shadow, and his mind was turbulent, and he wondered if Jingnu would come to participate in the auction here.

When he accidentally bumped into Zhang Banxian and was looked at by the old Taoist priest in surprise, he hurriedly shook his head and shook off the distracting thoughts in his heart.

But in half a moment, Mu Chen's eyes suddenly reflected a glazed pavilion guarded by monks, and the plaque said Eight Treasures of Glaze, Zhang Banxian continued to explain:

The top of this pavilion is like a cone, and eight positive ridges are crossed at the upper end, so it is called eight treasures. ”

"The Glazed Eight Treasures Pavilion is where the Autumn City Auction is located. ”

He rubbed the soles of his shoes, straightened his sideburns again, and then straightened his chest and led Mu Chen into the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

After walking into the glazed Eight Treasures Pavilion, Mu Chen saw that the decoration in the pavilion was prosperous, but it was mainly purple and gold tones, and it was dignified and solemn, and the pavilion was very quiet.

Turning the purple cloud wind and water screen, walking dozens of steps inward, and passing through the lotus pond, the two finally came to the auction venue.
