Liu Ming naturally didn't have any objections to this. He immediately took out a leather bag from his chest and threw it over.
Owner Qian caught it and after opening the bag, he nodded his head and waved his hand.
The beautiful servant immediately came forward.
With a flick of his sleeve, Liu Ming collected all three items on the tray.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, when Liu Ming walked out from the side door of the hall, the Nan cultivator wearing the bamboo hat was led by another servant and walked over.
Once he saw Liu Ming, his body couldn't help but slightly pause.
"Thank you for your help just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bid for this Mechanical Battle Armor. However, I don't like to owe people favors. In the future, if you need to make mechanical equipment, you can come to Southern Bamboo Temple. I will naturally do my best to help. " The Nan cultivator suddenly opened his mouth and with a wave of his sleeve, a light yellow bamboo tablet shot towards Liu Ming.
"Since it's like this, it would be impolite to refuse." Although Liu Ming was a bit surprised when he heard this, he naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing. With a single hand, he firmly caught the bamboo tablet in his hand and passed by the other person.
When he returned to his seat, there were already four Spirit Apostles wearing black and green masks on the stone stage. Moreover, after they stood around the stone stage, a beautiful woman whose appearance far surpassed the servant girl in front of her carefully walked up the stage with a light gold bottle in her hand.
After Elder Mian received the small golden bottle, he solemnly said to the people in the hall:
"Next up is the last item to be auctioned in this auction. It is also the item with the highest reserve price. I believe many Fellow Daoists have already heard about it. That's right, it is the Heavenly Star Aura Qi that our Hundred Spirit House spent a lot of effort to finally purchase. This Aura Qi is extremely rare and the number of times it has appeared in the entire Yun Chuan Continent can be counted on one's fingers. Using this Pure Aura Qi to condense into Gang Qi, not only does it have an excellent effect in terms of attack and defense, it can also communicate with the power of the stars at night, thus having an incredible effect in assisting cultivation. "
As soon as the old man finished speaking, he took a deep breath and opened the lid of the small golden bottle. Then, he used his magic power to slightly push the bottom of the bottle.
"Pu!"
A burst of golden light flew out from the opening of the bottle and danced around the small bottle, causing specks of golden light to flash in the nearby air. It was as if the sky was filled with stars, and it was extremely beautiful and ethereal.
"This is the Heavenly Astral Aura. It's extraordinary indeed!"
Someone who knew that the last auction item was the Heavenly Star Aura Qi muttered as he stared at the strange phenomenon on the stone platform.
As for those people that knew nothing about this beforehand, they were dumbstruck and flabbergasted.
However, there were a few mysterious people in the hall who had been indifferent to the previous auction. Now, they were all excited as they stared at the golden bottle fervently.
"Alright, I won't say anything else. One portion of Heavenly Astral Aura Qi, the base price is two hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Each increment must be no less than five thousand Spirit Stones!" Elder Mian waited for the commotion below to calm down for a moment before using the small bottle to take back the golden light. He spoke unhurriedly.
"Two hundred and ten thousand."
A person covered from head to toe in a long gray robe immediately called out a price!
"Two hundred and thirty thousand."
The other man wearing a ghost mask added another 20,000 without hesitation.
"Two hundred and forty thousand."
An extremely gloomy voice drifted back and forth in the hall like a ghost.
"Hmph, increasing the price bit by bit, when will it end? I will bid three hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Let's see who dares to compete with me." An old voice said with a wild laugh.
Once this price was called out, not only did the countless people in the hall stare blankly, even the people who started bidding were shocked.
For a moment, the entire hall became silent!
… …
An hour later, Liu Ming appeared alone on a seemingly remote street. Aside from a few shabby looking shops on both sides, the entire street didn't seem to have many people.
However, he didn't care as he slowly walked on the street. After turning left and right, he suddenly walked into an empty alley.
Liu Ming's gaze swept across the alley and he suddenly spoke without turning his head.
"Since coming out of the auction, Fellow has been following me. Our cultivations are about the same, do you really think you can hide it from my eyes and ears? "
"Hmph! So you really are that Mister Qian from the Hundred Spirit House! If that's the case, I will demand an explanation from Mister Qian. Why did you ruin my plans at the auction? " At the entrance of the alley behind Liu Ming, a figure suddenly flashed. A slender figure silently blocked the entrance.
"So it's Fellow Hu. I had thought that the possibility of it being Fellow Shi would be higher." Liu Ming indifferently replied before finally turning around.
Not far behind him, there was a young woman with a white veil over her face and a head full of pearls. However, her eyes were filled with killing intent as she coldly stared at him.
Although most of the woman's face was covered, there was a hint of familiarity in her eyes. This caused Liu Ming to be slightly dazed and he couldn't help but stare at her face with suspicion.
"I didn't think that the rumored Mister Qian was actually a lecher!"
When the masked young woman saw this, she became furious and her tone became even colder.
"Oh, what did Fellow Hu just say! My apologies, I suddenly realized that Fellow looked like a person, so I was a bit distracted. " At this time, Liu Ming seemed to wake up from a dream and suddenly smiled as he cupped his hands at the woman.
"Looked like a person? Did Fellow Qian really think that I would believe those words? Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I asked you before, but you still haven't replied! "Hu Chunniang was a bit skeptical, but her expression finally eased up a bit.
"What is there to reply about? I took a fancy to those mechanical items and was naturally excited to bid for them. Does Fellow have any questions? "Liu Ming lightly laughed as he replied.
"Even if Fellow Qian didn't mean it, you still ruined my plans. What do you say about that?" Hu Chunniang snorted.
"Then there's nothing that can be done! Fellow Hu can only be considered to have bad luck. However, if Fellow still feels that it's unfair, then we can only first fight. After all, to us Loose Cultivators, the one with the bigger fist is the one in the right. "Liu Ming laughed as he spoke.
"Okay, I also want to see Mister Qian's true abilities. When do you have time so that we can properly spar? "When the young woman saw this, she felt a trace of suspicion in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
"Another day is better than another day. Let's do it now. Of course, this place isn't suitable for fighting. Why don't we do it at the top of the Iron Mountain a few miles away from the west gate of Xuanjing. I'll take my leave first and await your arrival there. " Liu Ming laughed as he spoke. His body moved and he flashed past the young woman like a light breeze.
Hu Chunniang was shocked, but in the end, she still watched as Liu Ming flashed past her and returned to the street, striding in the direction of the west gate of Xuanjing.
"Okay, I want to see what kind of monster you are to be so daring!" The young woman's face under the veil changed uncertainly for a while before she finally stomped her feet and followed.
A few hours later, at the top of a small mountain outside the west gate of Xuanjing.
Liu Ming and Hu Chunniang faced each other from a distance.
"Since it's a competition, there naturally needs to be a bet. If I win, Fellow Daoist Qian will hand over the newly acquired mechanical items. On the other hand, if Fellow wins, I'll hand over the Pure Fire Aura Qi with both hands! " Hu Chunniang looked coldly at Liu Ming for a while before suddenly flipping her hand and revealing a light red bottle as she spoke rudely.
"Pure Fire Aura Qi! So one of these items actually fell into the hands of Fellow. No wonder I was unable to fight for the Mechanical Battle Armor. This item is indeed about the same value as the items that I won, so it's settled. "Liu Ming's eyes flashed and his expression became serious for the first time.
"Very good, then let Fellow Qian see the power of my famous Butterfly Dance Technique?" As Hu Chunniang spoke, she put away the small bottle and suddenly waved her sleeves. Suddenly, a five colored glow appeared.
This glow quickly gathered into a ball and became more and more numerous. In the blink of an eye, it covered half of the sky.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes couldn't help but squint.
Hu Chunniang suddenly let out a delicate shout and all of the balls of light actually turned into five colored giant butterflies. With a shake of their wings, they turned into a sky full of beautiful butterfly shadows that rushed at Liu Ming.
At the same time, the young woman's body twisted and in a blur, she actually melted into the giant butterfly shadows. Not a trace of her figure could be seen anymore.
Liu Ming's heart trembled slightly, but he suddenly formed a hand sign with one hand. Immediately, dots of azure light flashed in front of him and seven or eight wind blades shot out with a sharp cry.
"Dang, dang!"
The azure wind blades flashed and disappeared into the butterfly shadows before being repelled by something.
Seeing this, Liu Ming shook his sleeve without saying anything and shot out several scarlet red fireballs.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Before the fireballs could really get close to the butterfly shadows, they were suddenly cut into pieces by the several cold lights that flew out.
Liu Ming's face darkened and the black gas on the surface of his body suddenly rolled out. Immediately, it turned into black tentacles that danced wildly.
At this time, after the Sky Spy Shadows suddenly rolled up, it repeatedly submerged Liu Ming in a beautiful dream.
Under the protection of the light screen formed by the dancing black tentacles, Liu Ming stood in the distance and coldly looked at the beautiful butterfly shadows that danced around him. His eyes flashed continuously and a light green short sword had already appeared in his hand.
Suddenly, the butterfly shadows around him froze and from two different directions, there was a cold light that flew over. "Dang, dang!"
"Dang!" Two sounds rang out.
Liu Ming shook his wrist and two green sword Qis flew out. They actually accurately repelled the two cold blades.
Following this, he gave a low shout and the short sword in his hand danced. Suddenly, countless green sword Qis burst out and turned into a green full moon that rushed into the sky.
