Meeting on a narrow path, Wang Nianzhi pointed his finger like a sword, intending to take off the lion-faced man's mask.
The lion-faced man, however, was unfazed. He did not dodge when the sword was about to hit him. Just as the sword was about to hit him, a voice suddenly said, "Hold on!" A shadow flew up, and before the voice died away, the shadow had already grabbed Wang Nianzhi's wrist.
The person who came was a thin old man with a slightly hunched back and an aged face. His attire was both Daoist and vulgar, but his attack was not careless at all. He placed his hand on Wang Nianzhi's wrist and circulated his strength perfectly. With a pull and pull, Wang Nianzhi's strength had already been diverted and shot towards the pond below.
"What a pure Hua Jin technique." Ying Feiyang and Goddess Ling Xin looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
Then they heard the old man say, "Brother Wang, you should know the rules of the treasure auction. 'No identity, no origin, no destination.' As long as you wear a mask, you are a guest of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion. Since I am hosting the treasure auction on behalf of President Jiang, I hope Brother Wang will not make things difficult for me. If you have any grudges, let's settle them later. "
Wang Nianzhi's face was still angry, but he waved his hand and said, "I will save face for Mr. Dodge!" Then he glared at the lion-faced man.
The lion-faced man glanced at Wang Nianzhi, then looked at Mr. Dodge and said, "Mr. Dodge has such a high level of training. If you use a sword, he will lose his title as the Honorable Swordsman of the Eastern Sea."
Wang Nianzhi raised her eyebrows and was about to get angry again, but Mr. Dodger tried to smooth things over. "I'm not a swordsman, and I've lost my competitive spirit a long time ago. Please don't say too much …"
"Ha!" The lion-faced man chuckled and did not say anything else. He strode forward and entered the room next to Ying Feiyang's.
Mr. Dodge Tiger looked up and said, "And this customer, can you come down from above?"
Ying Feiyang was alerted and followed Mr. Dodge's gaze, "Pfft! What a waste of a good show! " A frivolous voice suddenly rang out, and a man was hanging upside down from the skylight. The man was dressed in black, and his figure was thin and small. His hanging figure was like an oversized bat, and he was wearing a bat mask.
Old Man Dodge gestured and said, "Sir, the Black Bat Hall is here. There is nothing up there, so please don't go the wrong way."
"I know, I know! It's just that I'm naturally timid. I saw that they were about to fight, so I hid far away to avoid being affected. " The bat man said with a smile. Then, he descended from the sky and landed on the corridor like a ghost. His cultivation was also deliberately concealed, making it difficult for others to see through him. However, the moment he moved, the aura that flowed out was cold and sinister, announcing that this person was not a good person.
Wang Nianzhi and Mr. Dodge frowned at the same time, but the bat man said to Wang Nianzhi as if he didn't know, "Yo, the Blue Shark Hall and the Black Bat Hall are adjacent. Sword Supreme Wang, why don't I go to your place and chat for a while?"
As he said that, he put his hand on Wang Nianzhi's shoulder. Wang Nianzhi didn't say anything, and turned away with a face full of disgust. The bat man didn't mind, and waved at Mr. Dodge before entering his own room.
"Sigh, another trouble …" Mr. Dodge shook his head and sighed.
…. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. …. ….
With this as the beginning, all kinds of people arrived one after another. There were monks, Confucians, Daoists, and demons. There were masked ones and masked ones as well. Every single one of them had an extraordinary cultivation level. After all, those who were qualified to participate in the auction were not ordinary people.
Those with great abilities had strange tempers. But with so many troublesome people gathered together, Mr. Dodge managed everything well. Even if there was any friction, it was nipped in the bud by him just like before.
"I've never heard of this Mr. Dodge before. The Eastern Sea actually has such a person?" Ying Feiyang saw this and couldn't help but mutter.
Goddess Ling Xin also frowned, "Yeah, with this cultivation and this ability, he really shouldn't be unknown."
While the two were confused, they suddenly heard a familiar crisp female voice coming from outside the curtain, "Knock knock knock. Do you need a maid here?"
Ying Feiyang smiled, "I don't need one who is clumsy and causes trouble. I want one who is obedient, cute, smart, and diligent."
"That's me. Let me in!"
"How dare you …" Ying Feiyang chuckled and unlocked the door. A girl jumped in cheerfully. It was Mu Xiaomei.
"Why are you here again?" Ying Feiyang looked at Mu Xiaomei. After a while, she had changed her clothes and tied her hair into a maid's bun, which made her look even more youthful and cute.
Mu Xiaomei sat down without hesitation, grabbed some fruits on the table and started eating. She said vaguely, "It's all for you. This Exquisite Treasure Pavilion is usually idle, but the treasure auction always needs manpower. So, in the past, some young disciples from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals were assigned to help. In the past, I always avoided this kind of thankless task. But since Brother Tianming is here, of course, I volunteered and asked for help!"
"You've eaten around the market, and now you can still eat. It's really hard on you …" Ying Feiyang lifted the fruit plate high and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat. Let me ask you, what is the origin of this Mr. Dao Qi?"
"Well …" Mu Xiaomei wiped her mouth and was about to say something when she suddenly reached for the fruit plate. Then, as if nothing happened, she continued, "I'm not too sure. Although the name of Mr. Dao Qi has been circulated, he is a person who is rarely seen among the Dragons. Most of the cultivators in the Eastern Sea have only heard of him but never seen him. But in the past two years, he has taken the initiative to join the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. He even showed his great cultivation and was elected as one of the Six Elements. My master said that he is the most unfathomable in the entire Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. Even the position of the next leader of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals may fall on his head! "
"Oh? There's such a thing? "Ying Feiyang was slightly shocked.
Mu Xiaomei continued, "Isn't that right? In the past, the auction was hosted by the old leader of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, Jiang He. But now, he only has three months left in his term. Moreover, he is about to reach his hundredth year and is preparing to go into death seclusion to prolong his life. Thus, he has no interest in the affairs of the Alliance. Thus, he has entrusted the task of hosting the auction to Mr. Dao Qi."
Ying Feiyang had long heard of the name of Jiang He Han, the current leader of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals. Though his cultivation was not the best in the Eastern Sea, his seniority was high enough and his network was wide enough to stand firm in the Eastern Sea, where fish and dragons mixed together. In his ten years in office, although he did not have any dazzling achievements, he was fair and prudent, which was quite popular. "So, Alliance Leader Jiang seems to have taken a liking to Mr. Dao Qi."
"Yes. My master said that this is to build momentum for Mr. Dao Qi. However, Mr. Dodge has only joined the alliance for a short period of time. I'm afraid it's hard for him to convince the masses. Hence, it's very important for him to make sure that the treasure sale goes smoothly. "
"I see …" Ying Feiyang looked at Mr. Dodger again. He had an indescribable feeling, but he did not know why, so he just shook his head and ignored it.

After a while, the moon was in the middle of the sky. Its bright light leaked through the skylight, reflecting the sparkling pond on the first floor.
Under the illumination of the moonlight and the water, Mr. Dao Qi landed on the lotus platform in the middle. He cupped his hands and said, "Welcome to the treasure sale, dear guests. Alliance Leader Jiang should be the host. However, as we all know, Alliance Leader Jiang's 100th birthday is just around the corner, and he has no time to be distracted. Therefore, he entrusted the hosting to me. I, Mr. Dao Qi, was entrusted with this task in the face of danger. Please forgive me if I am not a good host. Now, the time has come. If there are no objections, then we will not delay any further. The treasure sale will now begin. "
At this time, a voice came from the Black Bat Hall. "Why is it starting already? I heard that 'Cloud Sky' Lu Tianlan left a letter to the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, saying that he will steal the treasure in the auction. Why isn't he here yet? Why isn't he waiting for them?"
"Ahem!" Ying Feiyang, who was eating, felt guilty and almost choked.
However, Mr. Dao Qi said, "There is indeed a letter, but after that, we found someone to compare the handwriting. The handwriting left by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals is different from that of Lu Tianlan. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Of course, even if Lu Tianlan really came, with all of you here, how could he do whatever he wants?"
Mr. Dao Qi's compliment was very effective. The person in the Black Bat Hall only sighed with regret. "Boring. I thought I could see the ability of the world's top thief." After that, he didn't say anything else.
Mr. Dao Qi continued, "As in previous years, this year's treasure sale is divided into ten categories. The first category is' Pearl and Jade '. If you have any' Pearl and Jade 'treasures that you want to trade, you can ask the maids to come forward and let everyone appraise them together."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaomei couldn't wait to say, "Brother Tianming. If you have any treasures, take them out. I will help you send them up! "
"What's the hurry? Good things are reserved for the finale!" Ying Feiyang said jokingly. He took out a piece of jade that he had prepared and put it on the tray, asking Mu Xiaomei to pass it to him.
At this time, ten brackets were set up on the lotus platform. All kinds of pearls and jades were placed on the brackets by the maids. For a moment, all kinds of treasures were shining brightly, even the moonlight and the water paled in comparison.
Just like that, the owner of each family and genus would indicate the type and use of each item, and then they would be displayed together. Mr. Dodge would take turns to introduce them, and those who were interested could inquire and trade on the spot, so there was no such thing as a finale.
Mr. Dao Qi walked to the closest brackets, weighed it, and verified its authenticity. Then, he said loudly, "White Tiger Hall, a piece of Innate Cold Embryo Stone, produced at the bottom of the Great Swamp, weighing five catties. Uncarved, it can be used for refining, forging, injecting spirit, and has a wide range of uses …"
"Innate Cold Embryo Stone, this is good stuff. Brother Tianming, the ones you sent up are inferior!" Mu Xiaomei stared at the stone, her eyes shining.
Ying Feiyang shook his head and smiled, "Who wants to compete with him? Don't forget our goal. We only want one buyer."
Angel Ling Xin also said confidently, "Sister Xiaomei, don't worry. Have some confidence in our treasures. "
Mr. Dao Qi introduced them one by one. Finally, it was Ying Feiyang's turn to hand over their treasures.
Ying Feiyang's treasure was a piece of dark yellow jade that looked like amber. There were many holes on it, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
Mr. Dao Qi had never seen this item before. It was only after he read the introduction left by Ying Feiyang that his eyes lit up. Suddenly, he waved his sleeves, and a light breeze was blown towards the jade.
The wind blew past the stone, passing through the holes of the jade, and turned into a melodious and misty music. The music lingered in the air, and then, the jade gradually glowed, and a group of ethereal figures appeared out of thin air around the lotus platform. The figures were all dressed in wide-sleeved long dresses, and their figures were graceful. Although their faces could not be seen clearly, they were even more mysterious, like fairies from the Ninth Heaven, with beautiful eyebrows like the moon. At this moment, they were stepping on the ripples of the water and dancing lightly. Their every move was elegant and calm. As their dresses and sleeves danced, they matched the music, making people feel relaxed and happy.
At this moment, Mr. Dao Qi said, "Eagle Hall, a piece of Seven Orifices Painting Jade. It is the work of Mo Fei Gong, one of the Five Mysteries. The jade contains seven orifices, and when the wind blows through the orifices, it becomes music. Because of the wind and the sequence of the wind passing through the orifices, it can play hundreds of different music. Different music will also cast different dancing images. There is only one such piece in the world. As for its function … Mr. Dao Qi paused awkwardly, then answered simply," It can be used for entertainment. "
The people in the various halls were originally quite interested, but when they heard the last three words, their interest was extinguished. Obviously, although the Seven-Orifice Painting Jade was exquisite and marvelous, and was made by the world's number one craftsman, it had no benefits for cultivation, so it was useless. Moreover, everyone could see that this thing was something that a demon would like to have.
"What an interesting item. I have never seen it before …"
"It's done!" Ying Feiyang was overjoyed. However, when he tried to identify the voice, he realized that it came from downstairs.
A beautiful lady walked down gracefully. The lady's eyebrows were like the color of spring, and her eyes were bright. She was dressed in a blue mermaid silk dress, which gave her an indescribable sense of laziness. It was Princess Linglong.
"Mr. Dao Qi, sorry for my rudeness. I was tired and took a nap, but I came late …"
Although she was apologizing, there was no trace of apology in her words. Ying Feiyang could not help but laugh, "I didn't see her among the passersby. I thought she came earlier than me, but it turns out that she was late. Without the right person to present the treasure, I almost became flirting with the blind."
However, it could not be helped. Being the sworn sister of Mermaid Tears of the East Sea gave her the right to do whatever she wanted. Princess Linglong not only came late, but also went straight to the lotus seat. She stared at the Seven Orifices Painting Stone and said, "Fortunately, I came in time. Come, let me see …"
