Chapter Twenty-Six: The Auction Extravaganza
Zhang Fan never thought that Shangguan Wanqiu would come to him again so soon. The previous indecent behavior had already embarrassed him, and now that he saw Shangguan return in late autumn, the surprise and embarrassment in his heart could be imagined.
"Senior sister......" After the two looked at each other for a long time, Zhang Fan had the courage to speak out and break the embarrassing atmosphere.
Shangguan Wanqiu's face blushed and disappeared. She covered her mouth and chuckled, and said in a coquettish voice: "Senior brother, I saw that you had a large amount of aura gathered here just now, and I thought that my senior brother had advanced, and I was worried that my senior brother had no one to protect the Fa, so I came over to help." ”
Zhang Fan said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I forgot to arrange the formation before alchemy just now, so that the aura of heaven and earth was restless when Dancheng was completed, but I didn't expect to alarm my junior sister, I'm really sorry." ”
Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Congratulations to Senior Brother! Senior Brother has become a Dan Master, so there is no need to worry about cultivation in the future." ”
Zhang Fan was stunned when he heard this, his heart moved, he took out a jade bottle from the storage ring, handed it to Shangguan Wanqiu, and said: "Senior sister, this is a spirit pill refined for my brother, although the quality is not too good, but it can still be used for cultivation. ”
Shangguan Wanqiu waved his hand and said with a somewhat blushing face: "Senior brother has worked hard to refine the elixir. Senior sister doesn't have much credit, why are you embarrassed to ask for senior brother's things?"
Zhang Fan shook his head, directly put the jade bottle in her hand, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Senior Sister taking care of her brother these days, Brother Wei might have died a long time ago, how can you still refine the elixir, this is Senior Brother's intention, you can't refuse." ”
Shangguan Wanqiu shook his head and said, "Senior brother misunderstood. The junior sister didn't do the senior brother any favors, and she couldn't afford the generous gifts of the senior brother. Again. The junior sister is not short of spirit stones, where do you need the elixir of the senior brother. ”
Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Why should my junior sister be so angry? As a brother, since he is a Dan teacher, he can't refine more elixirs in the future?"
Shangguan Wanqiu nodded when he heard this. No longer shirked, and said coquettishly: "That's it, senior brother is an alchemist." Senior sister, there are plenty of elixirs here, so I'll exchange the elixir for you for the elixir, right?"
Zhang Fan smiled helplessly: "Senior sister doesn't need to excuse herself, the elixir will be talked about next time." Did you come to me for something?"
Shangguan Wanqiu was helpless, as long as he accepted Zhang Fan's gift, and then said: "What the senior brother said is good. Seven days later. Duobao Pavilion will hold a once-a-decade auction meeting, where precious elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, elixirs, spiritual materials and even cultivation exercises will appear. The junior sister came to ask the senior brother this time to see if the senior brother was going to participate in the auction conference. ”
"Of course. Zhang Fan said. After a slight pause, he continued, "But I have to prepare first. ”
Shangguan Wanqiu said with a smile: "Okay, junior sister will come back in seven days." With that, he turned to leave.
Zhang Fan hesitated slightly. The mouth opens and closes. I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it.
Seeing this, Shangguan Qianqiu was slightly disappointed in his heart, and he didn't hesitate, so he arched his hand and said, "Senior brother is practicing Dan slowly, if there is anything, you can go to the front yard to find me." With that, he turned and walked away quickly.
Zhang Fan was stunned for a long time, shook his head, and went back to the bamboo bed to meditate and cultivate.
Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the 10-year auction conference held by Duobao Pavilion has come.
In the past seven days, Zhang Fan had refined hundreds of medicinal materials one by one into a Gathering Spirit Pill. Although he occasionally failed a few times, he also refined nearly a thousand Gathering Spirit Pills. Of course, there are not many Dan kings. There are only thirty-six pieces.
Early in the morning, Zhang Fan was still meditating and cultivating, when he received a summons from Shangguan Wanqiu. He didn't hesitate, quickly collected his strength and exhaled a breath of turbidity, got out of bed to clean up, took the golden-scaled snake, and walked to the front yard.
As soon as Zhang Fan came to the front yard, he saw Shangguan Wanqiu and a girl already waiting for him.
"Senior brother is here, we can go. Before Zhang Fan could speak, Shangguan Wanqiu stepped forward to greet him.
Zhang Fan nodded. Shangguan Wanqiu pointed to the gray-shirted girl beside her and said with a smile: "This is the junior sister's little sister, Phantom." Zhang Fan nodded again and said, "Let's go." ”
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanqiu said with a slight embarrassment: "Oh...... It's a good ......" Shangguan Huan'er didn't say anything when she saw this. Immediately, the three of them went to Fang Market against the wind.
After a while, the three of them arrived at the workshop. Today, the Fang market is particularly lively, many Beiming sect disciples have come to participate in the auction meeting, although the disciples who are cultivating qi below three percent do not have enough spirit stones to buy precious spirit pills and magic weapons, they also set up a stall next to the Fang Market Road, exchanging cultivation needs with other disciples.
Zhang Fan and the three of them walked in the crowd, seeing the disciples coming and going, it was lively and extraordinary, and their interest was also a little higher. The three of them walked along the street, the shouts of the stall owners and the bargaining of the crowd came and went.
"Brothers and sisters who have passed by, come and take a look at the latest superb spirit runes drawn by the younger brother. The Fireball Talisman, the Ice Pick Talisman, the Sharp Gold Talisman and the Earth Wall Talisman are all available, and they are essential weapons for monks to travel to the monks. A fireball talisman is thrown, and both the spirit beast and the monk will turn to ashes. An ice pick talisman goes down ......," the disciple who sold talismans on the side of the road chattered endlessly.
"Boys, are you still worried about the difficulty of cultivating and ascending? The hundred-year-old Gathering Spirit Grass is rich in spiritual energy, and it is a good medicine for refining the Gathering Spirit Pill. As long as you buy the Gathering Spirit Grass, the bottleneck will no longer be a problem. Boys, are you still worried about not being able to find a spirit beast? As long as you carry the Beast Attraction Treasure Thousand Miles with you, the spirit beast full of treasures will be obediently sent to the door. The teenagers ......" said the old man who sells spiritual grass at the entrance of the road.
"Senior brothers, junior brothers, senior sisters, and sisters, do you want to know why the cultivation speed of your disciples is so fast? As long as you buy my Hero Pill, you will definitely be full of energy and blood every day, and within three days, you will enter a small step, and within nine days, you will enter a large level, and from now on, cultivating immortals will no longer be a problem, and immortality is just around the corner......" A burly monk who sold inexplicable pills said.
There are countless monks like this, Zhang Fan and Shangguan Wanqiu walked on the road, admiring the ordinary market, with a faint smile on their faces.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanqiu smiled and said, "Senior brother, in fact, the immortal cultivation world is similar to the world. Cultivators at the bottom of the immortal cultivation realm lack spirit stones, and they also have to worry about cultivation every day like ordinary people. Although the junior sister is lucky enough to become a disciple of the outer sect and can enjoy certain sect benefits, she usually has to take care of the elixir in exchange for spiritual stone cultivation. ”
Zhang Fan nodded and said with a smile: "What Senior Sister said is good, the road to cultivating immortals will never be smooth. ”
"Here we are, sister. Shangguan Huan'er said suddenly. Zhang Fan looked up and saw that the three of them had already arrived in front of the Duobao Pavilion, so he said, "Let's go in, I think the auction will be held soon." The two women nodded.
Afterwards, Zhang Fan and the three of them walked towards the Duobao Pavilion, and after a while, they came to the door of the pavilion, and a monk who looked like a waiter greeted them. The waiter smiled and said, "Three Daoists, since there are too many Daoists who came to participate in the Duobao Pavilion Auction Conference today, in order to allow all Daoists to buy the magic weapons and elixirs they need, please also pay ten lower-grade spirit stones and receive a VIP jade medal." ”
Shangguan Wanqiu asked, "Daoist friends are joking, right? To participate in the auction, you still have to pay ten lower-grade spirit stones!" Hearing this, the waiter said lightly: "In this case, Daoyou and the others can only sit at ordinary seats." This is the seat number of the three Taoist friends. As he spoke, he handed Zhang Fan three rough jade cards.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanqiu looked at Zhang Fan and said, "Senior brother, what do you mean?" Zhang Fan said lightly: "Forget it, let's go to the VIP seat." As he spoke, his mind moved, and he took out thirty lower-grade spirit stones and handed them to the waiter.
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly took the spirit stone, then took out a cyan jade slip, and said respectfully: "Fellow Daoist, this is the room card of the sixth-grade Accord of the three." Zhang Fan took the jade card, nodded lightly, and then said to the two women beside him: "Let's go, let's go in." ”
"Yo! Isn't this Senior Brother Zhang Fan? You even came to see the auction meeting? Why did you only buy a mere sixth-grade Humble Pavilion? Isn't there a spirit stone? Do you want me to borrow you a few hundred pieces?" Just as Zhang Fan and the three of them were about to enter the pavilion, Murong Qianxun's arrogant voice somehow came out.
Zhang Fan was furious when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face, he just turned around and glanced at Murong Qianxun, and said lightly: "Whose dog is not on a leash and slipped out to bark in broad daylight?" Murong Qianxun said angrily: "Zhang Fan, you dare to humiliate me!"
Everyone around laughed, amused by the words of the two.
Zhang Fan said lightly: "You jumping clown, what else will you do besides making jokes for others?"
Murong Qianxun said angrily: "You...... Hmph, poor ghost, I can't take out a hundred spirit stones, I'm embarrassed to participate in the auction meeting!" Zhang Fan looked at Murong Qianxun and the people around him lightly, not wanting others to continue to watch the joke, so he said: "You mad dog! The master feels upset every time he sees you, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to you!" After speaking, he led Shangguan Wanqiu and the two girls into the Duobao Pavilion.
Murong Qianxun was stunned when he saw this, he thought that Zhang Fan was going to sneer at him again, but he didn't know that Zhang Fan scolded himself and entered the Duobao Pavilion. It took him a while to come back to his senses, and he snorted coldly: "Poor ghost!" After speaking, he took out a hundred blue and faint low-grade spirit stones, and smashed them into the waiter's hand at once, shouting: "Give this son the best VIP room." ”
"This ......," the waiter couldn't help but say a word in shock. Murong Qianxun stared at the waiter when he heard this, and said coldly: "You don't want to give!"
The waiter trembled when he heard this: "No, no, it's ......" Before he could finish speaking, Murong Qianxun snorted coldly: "Say!
The waiter said with a pale face: "The spirit stone is not enough, the first-class private room needs a thousand lower-grade spirit stones!" Murong Qianxun said: "What can you do with a hundred spirit stones?" Hearing this, the waiter took out a blue jade plate, handed it over, and said, "Master...... Senior brother, you can buy a fifth-class Accord. ”
Murong Qianxun's face was gloomy when he heard this, he snatched the jade medal, and snorted coldly: "If you dare to detain this son's spirit stone, you will wait for this son's punishment!
When the waiter saw the wicked man gone, he muttered, "If you dare to break the rules laid down by the elders, don't blame me if you die." It's a pity that Murong Qianxun has already left and didn't hear his words. (To be continued......)
