"Hmph, didn't you claim to know everything in this Changyang Market? Can't you find out whether the man with a black face has left or not?" The young scholar snorted coldly with a very dissatisfied look.
Obviously, this disciple of the Haoran Academy was still obsessed with the mutated insect egg.
"Yes, mister, please give me a little more time. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of this person." The thin man's heart turned cold, and he said hurriedly.
"Very well, if you don't find out the whereabouts of this person, don't appear in front of me again." The young scholar couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He slapped the coffee table, stood up, and walked straight to the second floor of the forging shop.
…
At the same time, in another seemingly ordinary shop near the Bai Lian Pavilion, a woman in purple clothes with an ethereal temperament was playing with a palm-sized golden turtle in her hand. Behind her stood an old man in green clothes with a kind look on his face.
"Old Qiao, did you notice anything about the spiritual fluctuation just now?" The woman in purple clothes suddenly looked back at the old man beside her and asked faintly.
"Reporting to miss, according to my judgment, someone should have refined some kind of rare spiritual weapon or elixir. As an alchemist, when I was lucky enough to refine an earth grade elixir with five elixir patterns, there was a similar phenomenon. When refining a superb spiritual weapon with higher enchantments, a similar situation should happen. Although this person used enchantments to isolate most of the fluctuations, since he came from the forging shop of Taiqing Gate, it is most likely the latter. "The old man in green clothes bowed slightly and explained slowly.
"Old Qiao, please send someone to check if Taiqing Gate has sent any forging master to guard here recently." The woman in purple clothes ordered after thinking for a while.
"Yes, I will send someone to do it." After the old man in green clothes bowed again, he walked out of the secret room.
…
In the following period, Liu Ming went to the Bat Clan's shop to exchange 13 pellet grade and 4 earth grade cold condensing pills with four spirit patterns for more than 3 million spirit stones. He spent most of his time in the shop.
Although the Bat Clan shopkeeper was surprised that Liu Ming could refine earth grade medicinal pills so quickly, he also thought that these were all the medicinal pills refined from the thousand-year-old Green Condensing Fruit.
Although he was amazed in his heart, he wasn't too shocked.
At this time, there were more than 500 upper grade spirit stones in the spirit stone bag around his waist, and there were 5 earth grade cold condensing pills with four spirit patterns, 2 with five spirit patterns, and 1 with six spirit patterns.
Half a month later, the auction finally began.
Near the lake in the center of the market, a middle-aged man in a green robe walked out slowly from the side alley. After tidying up his sleeves, he walked straight to the auction building. It was Liu Ming who had changed his appearance.
Half a month ago, as the messenger of Taiqing Gate, he really received an invitation letter from the auctioneer, the Thousand Association Chamber of Commerce. However, he did not intend to use this item. Instead, he decided to disguise himself again and enter the auction as an ordinary casual cultivator.
At this moment, it was the eve of the auction. From time to time, groups of cultivators gathered from all directions and poured into the gate.
After Liu Ming observed for a while, he paid a sum of spirit stones and entered the auction hall under the watchful eyes of the guards.
After passing through a spacious corridor filled with bustling people, it was the inner hall of the auction. It was divided into two floors. The casual cultivators without an invitation letter could only enter the hall on the first floor, and the second floor was prepared for some special guests who had received invitations.
Liu Ming picked a rather hidden corner on the first floor and sat down quietly. At the same time, he began to look around at everything in the auction hall.
Surrounding the huge square platform in the middle, there were layers of stairs distributed in a fan-shaped shape around the venue on the first floor. Each step was filled with seats.
Liu Ming roughly calculated that the entire venue on the first floor could accommodate thousands of people. It was about an hour before the start of the auction, and there were few empty seats here.
With this scale alone, the auction in Changyang Market had far exceeded the auction that Liu Ming participated in in the Sea Region.
The seats below were all ordinary seats. There were VIP boxes on both sides of the second floor of the venue, which were obviously reserved for some powerhouses with status.
Since Liu Ming came in, he vaguely noticed that many people had walked into the box through his powerful mental power. Each of these people had a deep aura. Many of them were powerhouses above the Crystallization Period. It was not surprising that there were one or two Jin Dan Realm powerhouses among them.
Once these people entered the private room, they would no longer be able to detect anything.
After another half an hour, no one came in from the entrance of the venue.
"Bang", as the door at the entrance slowly closed, a golden beam of light suddenly lit up on the high platform in the middle. There was a platform-like thing slowly rising inside.
At the same time, the noise in the venue also stopped abruptly. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the golden beam of light in the middle.
The golden light slowly dissipated, and there were three more people in white robes on the jade platform.
In the middle was an old man with white hair and beard. Under the gaze of so many people, he still had a lazy look. The two middle-aged men on the left and right sides, one had a fair complexion, and the other had a dark complexion. At this moment, they were also calm under the attention of the crowd.
Liu Ming's eyes twitched. The aura of these two middle-aged men was dignified. They were obviously powerhouses of the Crystallization Period. The old man with white hair was sitting there, but under the scan of Divine Thought, his figure seemed to be invisible as if he would disappear at any time.
This old man was actually a powerhouse of the Jin Dan Realm.
After the middle-aged man with white skin on the left glanced at the audience, he said with a loud voice with a smile on his face,
"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to the auction held by our Merchant Union. This auction is hosted by me. The rules are the same as usual. After calling out a base price, everyone will bid with spirit stones. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you can also sell other treasures to our association in exchange for spirit stones. Of course, if you don't agree with the price set by us, we can also hold a live auction for you. In short, we will never let you feel that you are losing out. "
The middle-aged man with white skin's words were reasonable, and the cultivators below naturally had no objection.
The white-haired old man and the dark-skinned man on the right had already walked to the two chairs behind Empress Dowager Yu without saying anything and sat down respectively.
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, then this auction will start now." The middle-aged man with white skin looked around, then he announced loudly. His voice resounded through the audience.
As soon as the voice sounded, a maid in white clothes walked out from the backstage. She held a white jade tray in her hands, and the tray was covered with a big red cloth. Under the gaze of everyone, she walked up the jade platform calmly.
The middle-aged man with white skin reached out and uncovered the red cloth on the tray, revealing a half-foot long odd-shaped blade.
"The first auction item, superb spiritual weapon, Green Sound Blade! It contains twenty-eight enchantments, and it also has the magical effect of illusory sound when attacking. It can make the opponent fall into an illusion unknowingly, and their spiritual power will be greatly reduced. The base price is 800,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must be no less than 30,000! "The middle-aged man with white skin said loudly.
As soon as the voice sounded, there was a whisper in the venue.
Although a saber was not as sharp as a sword, it was more tyrannical. Among all the Spiritual Weapons, its offensive power was second only to a sword. If this Green Sound Saber was used by a saber user who was good at close combat, with the illusory sound combined with the afterimages, it would appear and disappear unpredictably, catching the opponent off guard.
Not to mention others, even Liu Ming was also a little tempted.
"800,000!" Someone shouted immediately.
"830,000!"
"870,000!"
"900,000!"
…
Liu Ming looked at the people who were bidding enthusiastically. After a while, the price was raised to more than one million, then he shook his head and closed his eyes to rest.
From the bottom of his heart, although he also wanted to add a superb spiritual weapon, he wouldn't consider the price of more than one million.
After all, his goal today was spirit essence powder. Although he had a lot of spirit stones on him, he wouldn't spend too many spirit stones before he got this item.
As a result, after a fierce bidding, this Green Sound Blade was bought by a man in black clothes for 1.2 million spirit stones.
Liu Ming looked at the private rooms on both sides. The people who just bid were all the cultivators below. The distinguished guests in the private rooms seemed to look down on the Green Sound Blade, and they all remained silent.
"The next auction item is also a superb spiritual weapon, 'Soul Destruction Fan'. This fan is made of yin demon blood jade, and it is mixed with demonic mandrill qi. It contains 30 enchantments. The base price is 800,000 spirit stones, and each bid increment must be no less than 30,000." The people below the stage sent a white jade tray. This time, there was a fan lying flat on the tray. The fan's bone was white, but the fan's surface was pitch black. There was a purple skull embroidered on it.
Liu Ming was silent for a while. Another superb spiritual weapon appeared, but this time it is a demonic treasure.
"800,000 spirit stones!" As soon as the middle-aged man with fair skin spoke, someone immediately bid.
"850,000!" The one who spoke was a cultivator in a blue robe with a sinister face. He was playing with a white bone scepter in his hand. He looked like an evil cultivator at first glance.
"880,000!" Someone raised the price again.
"900,000!" The man in a blue robe snorted as if he was determined to get this item.
"930,000!"
"1 million!" The man in a blue robe seemed to be a little impatient, and he directly broke through the one million mark.
A superb spiritual weapon was generally worth between 800,000 and one million, unless it was some treasures with special effects, such as the Green Sound Blade that was auctioned in the last auction. However, this Soul Destruction Fan obviously didn't have that special ability.
"1.1 million!" This time, the voice came from the VIP private rooms on both sides, and it directly increased by 100,000.
Many people in the venue were slightly surprised when they heard this, and they all looked over.
Unfortunately, there was an enchantment on the private room. Neither eyesight nor Divine Thought could penetrate it.
