On the second day, Yan Tong was waiting outside the door early in the morning, thinking about how to get more benefits from Zhang Yan.
However, as soon as he arrived at the hallway of the eight-story building, he saw a beautiful woman. He hurriedly took a step back and said, "External Deacon Yan Tong greets Lady Jun."
Jun Ling 'er's expression was slightly reserved as she said, "So it's Steward Yan. You are supposed to be welcoming guests at the four doors, what are you doing here?" Yan Tong lowered his head a little and said, "I received an order from an immortal guest, saying that he has something to ask of me. I didn't dare to delay, so I came here to await orders."
Jun Ling 'er said indifferently, "This is the first time an immortal guest has arrived here and doesn't know the way. Naturally, the boat master will arrange for a detailed explanation. There is no need for you to say anything more. Just guard your position well. You may leave." Although Yan Tong was also a steward, he knew that this Lady Jun was deeply trusted by the boat master and was not someone he could compare to. Moreover, her words were very reasonable. He had no choice but to excuse himself and leave angrily.
Zhang Yan's instructions to Yan Tong yesterday was a spur of the moment idea, so he didn't take it to heart. It didn't matter if he came or not, so he wouldn't ask about it.
When it was seven in the morning, a servant boy came to Zhang Yanxiang's room to inform him that the Treasure Auction had begun. Zhang Yanxiang wasn't in a hurry and sat quietly for another half an hour. Then, he slowly walked through the winding corridor and walked towards the southern pavilion.
When he stepped into the building, he found that Jun Ling 'er was already waiting there. Seeing his arrival, she bowed and said, "Greetings, immortal guest."
Zhang Yan smiled and sat in front of the long table. He looked around and saw that there were five or six more flying pavilions in the sky opposite him. They must have come to participate in the Treasure Auction.
He didn't look too much and looked down. In the lotus pond in front of Qi Chang Building, a few talismans were brought out, but they were quickly bought.
These magic treasures were all low grade spirit weapons. Even a single one of the middle grade and above was extremely rare. Having a magic treasure could save one's life at any time. Therefore, the competition was intense. Golden beans were scattered with all their might. Golden toads rushed out from the lotus pond and pushed the millstones until they creaked.
But to Zhang Yan, these things were not worth mentioning.
For example, there was a Magic Treasure called the Tranquil Heart Illuminating Mirror. It only had to shine its light on someone, and the person within a 3m radius would feel their limbs go limp and their entire body weak.
If someone met him, even if he didn't use his sword pellet, he could still take someone's life from hundreds of feet away. If someone used this magic treasure while fighting him, they would be asking for death.
The people on the two sides of the buildings and the flying pavilions did not move at this moment. Clearly, they did not think much of these things either.
When Jun Ling 'er saw Zhang Yan's indifferent expression, she smiled and said, "Immortal guest, you came a little early. These are only second-grade treasures. Naturally, the Fang family wouldn't be interested."
She pointed with her slender finger and said, "Immortal guest, please take a look. These are the Boat Master's first-grade treasures." Zhang Yan looked down and saw that in front of the lotus pond, a beautiful and bright maiden was holding a jade plate as she leisurely walked over. She placed a wet white Zoysia fruit on a lotus leaf in the pond. Then, she lightly pushed it forward and it floated towards the center.
Not only was this Zoysia fruit plump and moist, it also had two delicate green leaves dripping with jade. It was a delightful sight to behold.
Zhang Yan's gaze slightly moved. He had read many ancient records and read many books of the Danding Courtyard. He immediately recognized that this was a Zoysia Horse Fruit.
This Zoysia Horse Fruit looked like a fruit on the surface, but in reality, there was a spirit beast called the "Earth Horse" hiding within it. The two lived together.
This spirit beast usually liked to eat yin cold plants. It was good at finding the extreme yin energy hidden deep within the veins of the earth. Therefore, it was often used by people of the Evil Dao to search for yin devils.
On a pavilion on the east side, the veiled white-clothed woman was sitting behind a table. When she saw this Zoysia Horse Fruit, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
This item was related to a big matter that she had been planning for a long time. Before coming here, she had already paid a great price. She had taken care of several people who had the ability to compete with her for the treasure in exchange for a promise that they would not compete with her.
Now that the item was presented to her, she took a deep breath and waved her hand. In one breath, she threw down five hundred golden beans.
When the golden beans were sprinkled down, the golden cicadas in the pond jumped out of the water and swallowed them one by one. Then, they jumped onto the millstone in front of her pavilion and pushed it with all their strength.
At first, Zhang Yan didn't have much interest in this item. However, after looking at it for a moment, he suddenly thought of something. Among the five essences of qi that he was looking for, there was a kind of essence called Kui Water Essence Qi. It was hidden deep in a secluded stream. If he had this Zoysia Horse Fruit in his hand, perhaps it would save him a lot of trouble.
It was a spur of the moment idea. He reached out and picked up a jade box. Then, he sprinkled all the golden beans inside.
Jun Ling 'er saw everything clearly from the side. She couldn't help but exclaim softly. A whole thousand golden beans were sprinkled by Zhang Yan so casually. It was as if he didn't care about it at all. Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but take another look at him.
On the side of the woman in white, she saw that the lotus leaf was carrying the treasure and slowly drifting towards her. The female prostitute standing by the lotus pond also prepared her hook and prepared to hook it up. She thought that victory was already in her grasp. Her pretty face behind the veil couldn't help but reveal a smile.
Who knew that at this moment, a thousand shining golden beans sprinkled down like rain. With a "boom", a pillar of water rushed to the ninth floor. A golden toad the size of a calf jumped out of the water. It opened its mouth and sucked, swallowing all the golden beans. Then, it leaped in front of a millstone. Its abdomen made a growling sound. It stepped forward and pushed against the horizontal bar. Then, its two sturdy legs kicked back and the millstone spun rapidly. The Zoysia Fruit that was placed on the lotus leaf quickly drifted towards Zhang Yan.
Seeing such a scene, the surrounding people cried out in surprise. This was spending a lot of money. On this fairy boat, there were not many people who could spend so much money in one go in front of the finale item.
The woman in white was immediately stunned. Then, she flew into a rage. She brushed the incense burner on the table to the ground and stood up. Pointing downwards, she turned around and shouted at the servant beside her, "Who is this person? How can he be so untrustworthy? "
The servant said in a panic, "Wife, this servant didn't take care of this guest."
The woman in white was even more furious. She picked up the jade box on the table and threw it over. She said sternly, "How did you do your job?"
The skin on the servant's forehead was immediately smashed. Fortunately, she was also a cultivator. This kind of injury was not life-threatening. She quickly knelt down and mumbled, "Wife, it's not that we didn't do our best. It's just that this guest has only stayed in Qi Chang Floor for the past two days. At that time, we even reported to you. I wonder if you remember …" At this point, her voice softened. She raised her head and stole a glance at the woman in white. Then, she quickly lowered her head again.
The woman in white was startled. She suddenly remembered what happened last night. It was indeed her own negligence. The fault was not on the servants. Although she had a fiery temper, she was not an unreasonable person. She walked two steps in irritation and had no choice but to sit down gloomily. After thinking for a while, she still held her breath and smashed the table in front of her into pieces. She roared, "I'm going to die of anger!"
At this moment, a maid had already brought the Ganoderma Fruit to Zhang Yan's balcony. Jun Ling 'er personally brought it in front of him. She smiled sweetly and said, "Congratulations to the immortal guest for obtaining this treasure."
Zhang Yan smiled and did not comment. His gaze continued to look down.
At this moment, another item was brought up. However, the maid did not place it into the pond. Instead, she held a jade plate and circled around the pond.
The disk circled around the pond, as if it wanted everyone to see it clearly.
This was actually a sword pellet that emitted a clear light. Its quality was excellent. Even Zhang Yan's gaze was unconsciously attracted by it.
The maid on the tray said loudly, "This is a sword pellet that a Yuanying senior refined after thirty years of hard work. He originally intended to give it to his own disciple, but this disciple passed away unexpectedly. Therefore, he had the intention to sell this item. He said that if anyone can pay five thousand spirit shells, please take it."
Everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air. Five thousand spirit shells was probably enough to buy half of an A-grade treasure. The quality of this sword pellet was good, but their own sect would not be able to use it. They could not help but shake their heads.
Cultivators who could use sword pellets were mostly from big sects. The sword pellets in their hands were also bestowed by their elders. They had been refined for a long time. Unless it was destroyed, they would not exchange it for something else. Therefore, for a moment, no one spoke.
On a flying pavilion to the north, a young girl with bright eyes and white teeth saw this sword pellet and could not help but cheer. She pointed at it and said, "Senior brother, look, look, it's a sword pellet, a sword pellet!"
The senior brother took a few glances and sighed. "The spirit shells we have are enough to buy this sword pellet. However, we cannot buy the Moon Leaf True Truth Grass that Master wanted us to buy." Hearing this, the young girl let out an "oh". Her face was filled with disappointment. She pouted and lowered her head, not saying anything.
Seeing her like this, the senior brother could not bear to see her like this. He said, "If junior sister really wants it, senior brother can try to find another one for you. The quality of this sword pellet is extremely high. Even if you buy it and refine it for ten years, you won't be able to use it."
Hearing this, the young girl's anger turned into joy. She pulled the senior brother's sleeve and said happily, "Qing Er knows that senior brother is the best."
This Shi Huang shook his head repeatedly and could only smile bitterly.
Zhang Yan saw that no one responded for a while and thought to himself, 'I have the Stars Sword Pellet and do not need this item. However, I do not know if my disciple Liu Yanyi has the aptitude to cultivate the sword. Sword pellets are hard to find. Even in my Qincang school, there are not many of them. Now that I have seen it, I might as well take it.'
He took a glance at Jun Ling 'er and said in a deep voice, "I want this sword pellet."
Hearing this, Jun Ling 'er's beautiful eyes lit up. She bowed to him and took a few steps forward to the short railing. She said loudly, "The immortal guest here is willing to accept this sword pellet."
Once these words came out, it attracted everyone's attention. Just now, he had spent a thousand spirit shells in one go and made everyone feel envious. Now, he actually took out five thousand spirit shells. They did not know which aristocratic family's disciple was so extravagant. They could not help but guess the identity and background of Zhang Yan.
On a flying pavilion in the west, there was a withered elder with a deep scar on his cheek. He was also moved and said, "Who is this person? How extravagant!"
The follower said respectfully, "I do not know. There is no such person on our list."
Old Ben thought for a while and sighed. "Maybe this person will be my opponent in the fight for that item later."
Originally, the fight for the A-tier treasures was the most heated time of the Treasure Auction. Now that they saw Zhang Yan take out five thousand spirit shells in one go, there was a lot of discussion. However, not long after, these voices calmed down again because another treasure was brought up. However, this time, it was placed in a wooden box with a red cover. It was not opened nor was it placed into the lotus pond. Moreover, there were two first level Mystic Light Realm cultivators guarding the two sides of the woman on the tray, making it seem even more important.
