The night market was bustling until midnight, when it gradually returned to calm. [c] Xiong Lin also directly chose a place in the valley, arranged a small protective formation casually, and retreated on the spot for the night.

On the second day, the sky was faintly bright. One after another, monks came to the market and went straight to the central stone house. Apparently all of them participated in the auction.

Xiong Lin also withdrew the circle and walked towards the stone house. Walking into the lobby on the first floor, the old man was still standing behind the stone platform, and every monk who participated in the auction also went to the stone platform to hand over the jade pendant, and then took a black cloak from the old man's hand, draped it on his body, and went up the second floor from the stone steps on both sides.

Xiong Lin stepped forward and took out the jade pendant and put it on the stone platform. The old man smiled at Xiong Lin, turned over his hand and took out a black cloak and handed it over, and said at the same time: "You may not understand that these black cloaks are not against gentlemen and villains, if you have any means to cover yourself, it is best to use them." ”

"Thanks for the reminder!" Xiong Lin took the cloak and nodded in thanks, while asking, "Where do I go upstairs and sit?"

"White jade pendant, you can sit in the box on the third floor,......" the old man said, "You can go directly to the third floor and choose an empty room." The guest position is chosen by themselves, and we won't know which location is who!"

"Thank you!" Xiong Lin thanked again, put on his cloak, and went up the stone steps on the left.

Up to the second floor, this is also a hall, a circle of seats arranged in a circle in the hall on the second floor, only in the middle of a ten-zhang square open space, there is a high platform, is the place to preside over the auction.

At this time, there were already some people sitting scattered in the circle of seats on the second floor. However, because it was still early, not many people arrived.

On the third floor, there is a circle of boxes, with a hollow in the middle, so that people can sit in the treasure chest and see the auction below.

Xiong Lin came to the stairs on the third floor, and found two men standing on both sides of the stairs, and when they saw Xiong Lin coming, they just glanced at the cloak on Xiong Lin's body. Just let it go.

It seems that after handing over the jade pendant here, the guests on the second and third floors are distinguished by different cloaks. It's just that only they should know how to distinguish it.

went up to the third floor, also because it was still early, there were sixteen private rooms in a circle, but three of them were occupied.

Because the box is surrounded by a circle, you can see the auction in the middle of the second floor from the hollow position in the middle. There's no such thing as a dead end. The effect of the line of sight is almost the same, and Xiong Lin chose one at random.

The whole building is made of huge stones, and the private room on the third floor is a rough stone house, with a beaded curtain hanging at the door, and there is only a stone table and a few stone piers inside. It's really shabby.

Only that beaded curtain. It is a kind of magic weapon, and when activated, it can make outsiders unable to see the situation in the stone house, while everyone in the stone house can see the outside clearly.

There is even a watermark spell on the bead curtain, which can directly show the auction situation on the second floor on the bead curtain. The people in the stone house can be viewed directly through the bead curtain.

These are all introduced by a jade slip placed on a stone table in a stone house. There is also a trick to manipulating the bead curtain.

Xiong Lin was a little surprised when he saw it, pinched the trick according to the law, hit the bead curtain, and sure enough, a jade light flashed on the bead curtain, and then the scene of the auction table on the second floor below began to emerge.

At this time, the auction had not yet begun, and there was no one on the auction table, it was empty. Xiong Lin manipulated the trick again and found that the development on the bead curtain could be from many different angles. Observe the auction table from afar or close.

In this way, it is obviously convenient for people in the private room to carefully look at the treasures of the auction.

"It's a little interesting...... "After trying a few times and getting familiar with the method, Xiong Lin gave up and sat down at the stone table, preparing to retreat and wait for the auction to begin.

"Seniors. But you need spiritual tea, spiritual fruit ......" A crisp female voice came from outside the bead curtain, Xiong Lin waved his hand, the bead curtain automatically separated, and he saw a green-clothed maid standing outside. Holding a fruit bowl with tea and spiritual fruits on it.

Xiong Lin saw that the woman was also an immortal cultivator, but she only had a second-level Qi cultivation.

"Senior, this spirit tea and spirit fruit are provided for free...... "The woman bowed her head and said when she saw the bead curtain part.

Xiong Lin glanced at the spirit fruits on the fruit plate, but they were just low-level spirit fruits, and it could be seen that they were not too fresh, and the spiritual energy on them was also lacking.

Seeing this, Xiong Lin didn't have much appetite, and he knew that this was just a loose cultivation market, and the supreme controller was only three Jindan loose cultivators, it was already good to have such an arrangement now, and it was really impossible to provide better service.

"No need to ......" Since he didn't have much appetite, Xiong Lin directly refused, and with a wave of his hand, the bead curtain automatically covered it.

There was the sound of footsteps outside, and the maid left with a fruit bowl.

I closed my eyes and meditated until noon, when the people participating in the auction gradually arrived, and there were less than ten seats left on the second floor, and only one or two private rooms on the third floor were empty.

At this time, there was a flash of inspiration on the auction table, and the old man who had been standing behind the stone platform on the first floor appeared on the stone platform.

Xiong Lin also knew that the auction was about to start at this time, and he had already finished his retreat, and the scene of the auction table on the second floor was manifested on the bead curtain. Seeing this, I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Teleportation Array!" Xiong Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, the teleportation array was not easy to obtain, "Is it bought, or is it a formation master in the three Jindan Scattered Cultivators"

Xiong Lin couldn't help but ponder in his heart.

"Ahem...... Quiet!" The old man on the stone platform spoke, his voice was not loud, but it spread all over the second, third and second floors of the stone building, and it was clearly audible in each private room.

As the old man's words fell, the second floor, which was still very noisy, immediately gradually calmed down.

Seeing this, the old man on the auction table seemed to be very satisfied, nodded, and saluted to the four sides, saying, "There are old friends and friends who participate in the auction, please allow me to introduce myself." ”

"My surname is Qian, and I have to be favored by the three seniors, and I will preside over ......the treasure appraisal and auction here," the old man smiled and said: "As for the rules of the auction, we are all petty fights, there are not so many rules, each auction item only has a reserve price, there is no price limit, and each price increase shall not be less than one hundred spirit stones, and the hammer will be dropped on the spot, and the transaction will be made on the spot!"

"Of course, if there is a Taoist friend who has insufficient spirit stones, we also accept barter, and Taoist friends take out treasures, and they will be identified and valued on the spot, converted into spirit stones, and refunded more and made up for less!"

"Old man Qian, let's start...... Every time I come, it's these few sentences, I'm tired of hearing them......"

"Yes, old man Qian, everyone knows the rules, needless to say...... Start the auction directly......"

"Yes! Yes, the master began to bring enough spirit stones this time, and he must take a pill of Tsukidan to go back...... Let's get started......"

There was a commotion from the second floor below. It was the monks who came in with black jade pendants and sat down on the second floor.

The private room on the third floor has been very quiet, and no one has spoken.

"Ahem...... old man Qian coughed a few more times, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the void, and with the noise on the second floor, he said, "That's good." I don't have to bother anymore, old man, and let's start the auction directly!"

As he spoke, there was also a flash of inspiration on the auction table in front of Old Man Qian, and a row of five jade-colored pill bottles appeared.

"Tsukidan ......"

"It's five this time......"

"Old man Qian, you can't take out more every time......"

"It's five grains every time, how can we still have our share......"

Five pill jade bottles appeared. The second floor was another bustle. But they all seem to know that the pill bottle is Tsukidan.

"Tsukidan ......" Xiong Lin listened to the noise on the second floor and looked at the five pill bottles in Taishan for auction, but he didn't expect that this first auction item was Tsukidan.

However, it is normal to think about it, the first auction item in the auction will inevitably require a good start and mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, so that the auction will be better carried out later.

And most of them here are casual practices. Most of the monks sitting on the second floor below are probably Qi cultivators.

And for the scattered cultivation during the Qi cultivation period, the most needed thing is undoubtedly to build the foundation Dan. Often, they have spirit stones in time, and they don't have a place to buy Tsukidan.

"Ahem...... Qian Lao also coughed a few times, suppressed the noise on the second floor, and then said with a chuckle: "Everyone, we will auction." It's not held once every six months, and it's already my best to be able to provide five Tsukidan pills each time!"

"You also know that Tsukidan may not be able to buy it even if you have money, and it is firmly controlled by those sect families...... "Qian Lao stroked his beard and said: "Just these five grains, or the three seniors lost face and tried their best to get them from some family sects." ”

"Alas...... The abominable sect and family ......"

"Don't give the road to life......"

"It is difficult to build a foundation, and there is no foundation building. It's hopeless at this time......"

The second floor was again a scene of lamentation and hustle, but there was an atmosphere of jealousy and hatred of the sect and family. Historically, the monks of the sect and the family have not looked down on each other. The contradictions are deep.

Xiong Lin frowned and looked at it in the private room, what does this old man mean, deliberately provoking the relationship between the scattered cultivators and the sect and the family cultivators

Also, Zhuji Dan is really so rare, there is no place to buy it if you have money, and you don't have to sell it in Vientiane Pavilion

Xiong Lin was skeptical. Or maybe there's something in it that he doesn't know is secret

Xiong Lin was still puzzled, the auction of Tsukidan below had begun.

The five Tsukidan pills were auctioned separately. The reserve price of each grain is 50,000 spirit stones, and there is no limit to the upper price, and the price increase shall not be less than 100 spirit stones each time.

And in fact, the second floor below has already fought for the first Tsukidan, and every time the price increases, let alone a hundred spirit stones, there is no less than a thousand spirit stones.

"55,000 ......", "58,000 ......", "60,000 ......", "70,000 ......", "75,000 ......"

The price doubled and went up, Xiong Lin watched the second floor fight for a hot spot, but no one in the box on the third floor made a sound, I don't know if it was not needed, or it was not time to bid.

However, it can be seen that on the auction table, Old Man Qian is smiling, obviously very happy, just caressing his beard, trying to calm the alarmed mood.

Xiong Lin naturally doesn't need Tsukidan, he doesn't need it himself, and he doesn't have any relatives and friends around him. The Xiong Luo family, if they can embark on the road of cultivating immortals and reach the juncture of building a foundation, they need to build a foundation Dan, I am afraid they will have to wait for twenty or thirty years.

Naturally, he was not in a hurry, but just watched with interest at the crazy bidding below.

The bidders were red-faced and arguing, and the auctioneers sat firmly on the fishing platform, stroking their beards, and forcibly suppressing the joy, and the private room on the third floor was silent.

Xiong Lin sat in the private room on the third floor, also silent, looking at all this, but faintly sighed. Rolling red dust, bustling, profiteering, immortal cultivators are just struggling in it.

At this time, the price increase below seems to have reached the last moment, and the spirit stones have increased little by little on eighty thousand, and one hundred spirit stones have begun to increase.

This bid is eighty-one thousand five, and the other is eighty-one thousand six...... Before the sound fell, another eighty-one thousand seven sounded from the corner.

It seems that the price of the first Tsukidan has increased.

"One hundred thousand spirit stones!" Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounded, the voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the audience, it was clearly audible, and the noisy bidding was suppressed at once.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a figure sitting in a dark corner. Wearing a black cloak, he can't see his body clearly, he can't see his appearance clearly, and he can't even see the gender of men and women.

Some people are tempted to use their spiritual sense to check it, and the regular customers of the auction know that the cloak provided here is anti-gentleman, if you really want to force it to check it with your spiritual sense. These black cloaks simply can't stop it.

However, I saw a black smoke flash from the black shadow. Then, there was a muffled grunt from all over the place, and even two more from the private room on the third floor. Obviously, they all searched with spiritual sense, but they suffered losses.

This time, everyone knows that the other party is not easy to mess with. and no one will ever tempt the mind again. The monk who was bored, whether it was the monk on the second floor or the third floor, no one said anything, and nothing seemed to have happened.

And the bidding because of the 100,000 spirit stones that were suddenly thrown out, but it suddenly came to a standstill, and no one bid again. I don't know if it's too high, or if I have other plans.

On the auction table, Old Man Qian stroked his beard, his face remained unchanged, with a friendly smile, only a pair of eyes with a hint of joy and a hint of anxiety.

Xise is the first Tsukidan to get off to a good start, but it is a low-grade Tsukidan. Selling 100,000 spirit stones was something he didn't dare to think about before he started, and now he has achieved even more.

And the anxiety is that the scene is calm, and no one continues to bid or increase the price, so how can he not be a little anxious. Since they had all been added to 100,000 spirit stones, of course he greedily wanted to sell them at a higher price.

The second and third floors were quiet. No one continued to bid, and no one spoke. Old man Qian's stroking beard has turned into a beard, and he doesn't speak, and he is not in a hurry to drop the hammer. Procrastinating, eager to see if anyone continues to increase the price.

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

"Ahem!" suddenly a light cough came from a private room on the third floor, echoing throughout the audience.

Qian Lao on the auction table suddenly had a wit and woke up from greed. He could hear that this was a Jindan senior's cough, obviously aimed directly at him.

"Damn! Damn! I was almost ruined by greed, and the auction was delayed, and the three ancestors couldn't spare me!" On the auction table, Old Man Qian was slightly sweating on his forehead and his eyes were shrinking.

Without thinking about it, the small hammer in his hand was about to fall in one fell swoop. Fortunately, he stopped at the critical moment, seemed to think of something, tried to calm down, and then said: "One hundred thousand spirit stones, there is no price increase!"

"I'll count three times, if there is no price increase, after the hammer is dropped, this first Tsukidan will belong to that fellow Daoist!" said Old Man Qian, pointing to the corner, the bidding monk.

"One, two, three!" counted three times in a row, and no one continued to increase the price. Old man Qian also had to drop the hammer directly.

"Bang!" the hammer slammed on the stone platform with a muffled sound.

Immediately, Old Man Qian picked up a pill bottle and said with a smile: "The first Zhuji Dan, 100,000 spirit stones, have returned to Daoists!"

At the same time, a green-clothed maid walked out from the side, came to the auction table, and took the pill bottle from Old Man Qian's hand.

Then, holding it directly in her hand, the green-clothed maid walked in the middle of the circle of seats, and walked towards the monk in the shadow of the corner.

On the circle of seats, there were monks sitting one after another, and their eyes were fixed on the pill bottle in the hand of the green-clothed maid. There was a faint inexplicable aura.

"Hmm" Xiong Lin's keen spiritual sense immediately realized that the atmosphere below was not right.

"Hmph!" Just when Xiong Lin wondered if the people below would grab it on the spot, a cold snort suddenly came from a private room on the third floor.

With a cold snort, an extremely fierce awe-inspiring force filled the entire second and third floors of the auction.

"Brother Jindan!" Xiong Lin's eyes shrank, and this momentum was obviously the coercion of Brother Jindan. It seems that at this auction site, there is a Jindan monk in charge.

"In this way, there shouldn't be chaos!" Xiong Lin thought secretly, and at the same time, it was estimated that the reason why the people below were just watching the green-clothed maid walking by with the Zhuji Dan jade bottle walking by, although they were salivating one by one, but every one of them should be regular customers, knowing that the auction would have a Jindan monk.

The green-clothed maid held the Tsukidan jade bottle in this way, walked under the greedy gaze, and came to the dark corner.

At this time, the monk who had photographed Tsukidan had already stood up and did not directly take the Tsukidan jade bottle. Instead, he took out a storage bag and handed it to the maid in green.

The green-clothed maid took it and opened it, and her spiritual sense swept through it. Then he nodded and handed the Tsukidan jade bottle in his hand to the other party.

The monk took the Tsukidan jade bottle, didn't open it to look at it, directly held the jade bottle, turned around and walked towards the stone steps on the side, but he didn't participate in the auction below, and he was about to leave.

When the monk came down the stone steps, another moment passed. The fierce coercion that permeated the audience naturally dissipated. On the second and third floors, the monks couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Ahem...... Next, continue to the auction of the second Tsukidan......" On the auction table, Old Man Qian coughed lightly and immediately started the auction of the second Tsukidan, trying to make the somewhat depressing atmosphere active again and drive everyone's enthusiasm.

On the second floor, a few figures also got up directly, did not participate in the next auction, and walked to the stone steps on the side, about to leave.

In this regard, no one said anything, and no one stopped it. As for why these people left, they all have their own ideas.

Xiong Lin sat in the private room on the third floor, touching his chin, not paying attention to the auction of the second Tsukidan that was gradually becoming hot, but thinking about the person just now, looking at the few departing figures, and frowning secretly.

"It seems familiar...... Is it someone I know?"

He frowned and thought for a moment, but didn't come up with a reason. It's just that I inexplicably feel that the person just now seems to have seen it somewhere.

Neither the face nor the breath was recognized, not even the gender of the man or the woman was clear. But Xiong Lin inexplicably felt that the person seemed familiar.

This was a kind of spiritual sense, and since the phantom of the one-dimensional Dao Marker appeared in his mind, he found that his spiritual sense was becoming more and more aura.

He had to wonder if the monk really knew him!
