The auction hall was silent and no one responded.
General Jin Kui, Resident Sleeping Moon, and Fairy Qinghua did not bid for the Golden Sun Mystical Flame as Ma Xiuxiu said. Shen Luo's heart slowly relaxed.
"410 immortal jades!" But at this moment, as if the heavens were against him, a clear voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Luo's face darkened. He looked in the direction of the voice and his pupils shrank.
"It's her! She's here to ruin my business again!" He was furious.
The person who spoke was none other than the girl with the surname Li behind Celestial Qinghua. This girl didn't recognize him, but coincidentally, she had a problem with him.
"430 immortal jades!" Shen Luo raised his paddle and bid.
"480 immortal jades!" The girl surnamed Li glanced at Shen Luo and seemed to be a little impatient. She casually added 50 immortal jades.
"500 immortal jades!" Shen Luo had an ominous feeling in his heart and bid the highest price he could.
"600 immortal jades." The girl surnamed Li sneered. She actually added 100 immortal jades at once. She simply regarded immortal jades as dirt.
Shen Luo's heart thumped and his face became a little pale.
"Young Master Shen, although spiritual fire is rare, it occasionally appears in Chang 'an City. This price is obviously high." Ma Xiuxiu saw Shen Luo's expression and hurriedly comforted him.
"Then I'll have to trouble Miss Ma to keep an eye out for it." Shen Luo took a deep breath, calmed down, and said.
On the high platform, the Red Hand Immortal was excited. He asked the price twice and soon announced the owner of the Golden Sun Mystical Flame.
At this point, the auction gradually entered the climax. In the following time, all kinds of natural treasures, precious elixirs, and magic tools appeared one after another. There were even several top-grade magic tools.
However, Shen Luo was in a low mood and was not in the mood to watch.
In the blink of an eye, four hours passed and the auction was finally coming to an end.
However, the atmosphere in the venue did not subside much. It was still in full swing.
The final item of the auction, the Hundred Sound Chimes, a top-grade magical artifact that contained sixteen layers of restrictions and was only half a step away from being a magical treasure, was bought by General Jin Kui for a high price of 2,600 immortal jades. Only then did the auction come to an end.
Shen Luo and the other two left the Xuanyuan Pavilion with the crowd.
At this moment, the sky outside was already bright, but Xi City was still bustling with people, as if it had been bustling all night.
Seeing the Golden Sun Spirit Fire slip away in front of his eyes, Shen Luo felt a sense of loss. He was not in the mood to stroll around, so he immediately bid farewell to Xie Yuxin and left.
"Young Master Shen, I will continue to inquire about the spiritual fire for you. I will inform you as soon as I have any news," Ma Xiuxiu said.
"Thank you, Miss Ma," Shen Luo cupped his hands and said.
"As for that alchemist, now that the Carnival is over, I'll contact him. I believe we'll have a result in a few days," Ma Xiuxiu continued.
Hearing this, Shen Luo's depressed mood finally recovered a little, and he thanked her again.
Ma Xiuxiu seemed to have something to do. She called the carriage that had been waiting outside and left.
Shen Luo and Xie Yuxin did not stay in Xi City, and soon returned to Changping Square.
"Fellow Daoist Shen, I have some matters to attend to and will need to leave Chang 'an City for a few days. The sale of talismans may have to be put on hold," Xie Yuxin said as he stopped outside Changping Square.
"That's fine. What is Fellow Xie going to do? Do you need my help? "Shen Luo was a little surprised and asked.
"It's just a small matter. I can handle it alone, Shen Daoyou," Xie Yuxin said.
Seeing this, Shen Luo did not insist.
"Zhou Tie has been my friend for many years. Although he is not a cultivator, he has been in Chang 'an for many years, so he is familiar with many places in the city. He is careful and trustworthy. If you have any chores, you can ask him to do it," Xie Yuxin continued.
"Okay." Shen Luo nodded.
Xie Yuxin always did things in a hurry. After he finished, he immediately got up and left.
A few days later, in the early morning, there was a burst of noise within the walls of Changping Square, and smoke rose in spirals from everywhere.
Although the small courtyard that Shen Luo temporarily lived in was far away from the bustling streets and alleys, he could still vaguely hear the sounds of the market from afar.
Shen Luo woke up from his meditation and got up to open the window of the courtyard on the second floor. He saw a flock of sparrows chirping on an old pagoda tree outside. On the contrary, the cicadas that had been chirping for most of the night had quieted down.
He looked up and could see that on the street far away, many merchants along the street had hung up their banners and opened their doors, ready to welcome customers.
At this moment, a door in the inner courtyard was opened, and a beautiful girl with a delicate appearance walked over.
Walking downstairs, the girl looked up and met Shen Luo's eyes, revealing a smile. It was Ma Xiuxiu.
Although Shen Luo was a little surprised, he still smiled politely.
After a while, there was a knock on the door of the second floor. Shen Luo immediately opened the door and welcomed her in.
"Miss Ma, why did you come here so early in the morning? Could it be that you have a solution to that matter? "After Ma Xiuxiu sat down, Shen Luo poured a cup of tea for her and asked.
"After you told me about this matter that day, I went back to the Chamber of Commerce to inquire. There is indeed an alchemist in our Chamber of Commerce, but there is only one who can refine the Milk Spirit Pill." Ma Xiuxiu took the teacup, put it down, and then said.
"Really? That's great." Shen Luo was happy to hear this.
"Young Master Shen, don't be too happy. That alchemist is one of the highest ranked alchemists in our Chamber of Commerce. If you want to ask him to refine the pill, the price is not cheap." Ma Xiuxiu said.
"Of course, I'm already mentally prepared. I just don't know how much this Senior will ask? "Shen Luo asked disapprovingly.
"Alchemy is more exhausting than artefact refining. Usually, this alchemist will not accept commissions outside of the Chamber of Commerce. Fortunately, I have some friendship with him, so he reluctantly agreed. In addition to the eight hundred immortal jades as a reward, no matter how many pills you refine in the end, he will take one-third of it. "Ma Xiuxiu said.
Hearing this, Shen Luo couldn't help but frown slightly.
Not to mention that the reward was far beyond Shen Luo's expectations, even the Milk Spirit Pill would cost one-third of it, which Shen Luo found difficult to accept.
"This price … is a bit unexpected. Is there any room for negotiation?" Shen Luo hesitated for a while and said.
"Young Master Shen, it's not that I want to embarrass you deliberately. It's just that this Senior is eccentric. Only I can speak in front of him. He doesn't pay attention to anyone else. Moreover, he always means what he says. I have never seen him bargain with anyone … "Ma Xiuxiu listened and gently turned the teacup with her fingers with an embarrassed expression.
