"I wonder what this pearl is?" Princess Linglong looked through the Seven Orifices Painting Jade and stared at the last item that had not been introduced yet.
"Princess Linglong, don't worry. I was just about to say it …" Mister Dodger looked at the introduction and was curious. He flicked his finger, and a strand of pure aura came out from his finger and entered the bead.
Like a drop of water falling into a pond, Spiritual Qi rippled. Suddenly, a shout of "Kill!" was heard. A bone-chilling killing intent seeped into him.
"Someone is attacking?" Ying Feiyang's heart skipped a beat. His vision blurred, and the pavilions, the water, and the moon disappeared without a trace. In front of him was a desolate city. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and there were no clouds. The fields were cracked like scales, and it was a scene of scorched earth.
Suddenly, yellow dust rose from the city, and roared in the dust storm. One could vaguely see the figures of horses galloping, and it was a terrifying scene.
"Is this an illusion?" Ying Feiyang came to his senses and saw that the cavalry had already passed through the hole in the wall without a gate. Although the soldiers on the horses were covered in dust, they looked serious and did not look tired at all. They went straight out of the city.
Outside the city, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard. A troop of cavalry in black armor was rushing over like a torrential turbid river.
The two armies were like two enormous primeval beasts that collided fiercely with each other, and they tore and devoured each other. The sounds of weapons colliding, battle cries, horse neighs, bones breaking, and flesh exploding mixed together, and they played a soul-stirring tune of slaughter.
Suddenly, black clouds rose from the horizon like boiling water. They quickly covered the sky like a carpet being lifted up, and the sunlight dimmed.
Someone shouted, "The Sand Dragon is coming!" His voice overshadowed the battle cries.
Then, the sand waves rolled like the tide of the Qiantang Lake! A huge whirlpool brought up thousands of sand and stones, forming a black pillar that reached the sky. It was like a spinning hell. Accompanied by ear-piercing roars, it rolled over!
The sand dragon was so powerful that it could destroy a city. The hundreds of corpses, weapons, flags, and warhorses were all sucked into the air!
The might of heaven and earth was so great that even though Ying Feiyang knew it was an illusion, he still felt tiny and weak. In the blink of an eye, his line of sight was already covered by the boundless yellow sand, and he was unable to see anything else clearly.
After a while, the yellow sand gradually dissipated, and the field of vision became clear once again. The previous scene had completely disappeared, and the scenery inside the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion had once again returned. In the blink of an eye, the world had changed.
"Let go! It hurts! " Ying Feiyang suddenly shouted. It turned out that Mu Xiaomei was too scared just now. She gripped Ying Feiyang's arm so tightly that her nails dug into his flesh. On the other hand, Ying Feiyang only felt the pain after heaving a sigh of relief.
Mu Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and let go of his hand. "Brother Tianming, your stuff has lost out …"
Ying Feiyang smiled helplessly, but he had nothing to say. Similar to his Seven-Orifice Painting Jade, the bead could also create illusions, but the difference between the two was obvious.
The Seven-Orifice Painting Jade could only play music and project the scene of dancers, but the bead could not only project a larger and more detailed image, but also the smell, the sound, and even the breath, which made him think that he really appeared on a battlefield.
Ying Feiyang could not help but be curious about the bead. At this moment, Mr. Dodge said, "Guest from the Golden Lion Hall, a Shen's Bead. It can create illusions and confuse the five senses. When used with illusions, it can be twice the result with half the effort. Princess Linglong, this Shen's Bead is closely related to your Crystal Palace. I wonder if it is convenient for me to explain it here?" After saying this, he looked at Princess Linglong with an inquiring look.
Princess Linglong said carelessly, "It was a hundred years ago. At that time, I had not yet cultivated into a human form. Why is it inconvenient for me to say it?"
"Then I'll be impolite." Mr. Dodge bowed slightly to Princess Linglong, and then said slowly, "More than a hundred years ago, the East Sea Crystal Palace was ruled by the Whale King, your sister, and her husband and wife. The Mirage City of the Crystal Palace was second only to them. The Mirage City was a Mirage Demon. Not only did he have a high cultivation, but he could also create illusions with his breath. His illusions could be said to be unique. And the bead he condensed was the Shen's Bead. "
"The Mirage City was deeply trusted by the Whale King, and he had always regarded it as his right-hand man. But later, the Whale King was careless in his cultivation and died of Qi Deviation. When your sister lost her husband and the Crystal Palace lost its master, the Mirage City took the opportunity to rebel and wanted to seize the power of the Crystal Palace. After a full ten days of civil war, the ten miles of sea around the Crystal Palace were dyed red with blood. But in the end, the Mirage City was seriously injured by your sister and fled in panic. Since then, he has never appeared in the world again."
Princess Linglong said, "The Shen's Bead was condensed from his Qi Essence. Now that the Shen's Bead is being traded, it seems that he is long dead." As she spoke, Princess Linglong looked in the direction of the Golden Lion Hall and said, "Friend, how did you get the Shen's Bead?"
A voice came from the Golden Lion Hall. "Princess Linglong seems to have forgotten the 'no questions asked' rule of the treasure auction."
Princess Linglong laughed and said, "I'm asking too much. No matter what, I want the Shen's Bead. I wonder if you're willing to trade with me?"
"That's exactly what I'm thinking!" The person in the Golden Lion Hall said.
"Alright, then you should know the rules of this palace. This Profound Ice Token will be used as proof. Bring this token with you and follow my ship back to the Crystal Palace. You can choose any treasure from the Crystal Palace's treasury in exchange for it. Take it well!" Princess Linglong flipped her hand and took out an Ice Crystal Token. With a wave of her slender hand, it floated lightly towards the Golden Lion Hall. Following which, the curtains of the Golden Lion Hall were lifted in an instant, and a gust of air flowed into the Profound Ice Token. Immediately after, the curtains were closed.
"Mr. Dodger, please help me to deliver the Shen's Bead." Princess Linglong nodded at him and flew to the corridor on the second floor. She entered her room. As for Ying Feiyang's Seven-Orifice Painting Jade, she seemed to have lost interest in it and did not look at it anymore.
After all, the goods were displayed, and the rest of the people started to trade, buy, and sell. For a while, there was a fierce battle of words. Only the Seven-Orifice Painting Jade was not interested in it. After all, it was something that Princess Linglong liked. It was more novel than practical. Since Princess Linglong did not want it, the others were naturally not interested. In the end, it was returned to Ying Feiyang.
Ying Feiyang kept it in his pocket helplessly. He sighed and said, "What a bad start. Princess Linglong was interested in it, but the Shen's Bead came out and stole the limelight …"
Fairy Ling Xin smiled and said, "It's okay. The treasure auction has just started. We still have a chance."
Ying Feiyang did not take it seriously. He said, "You're right. We are well-prepared this time. We can definitely get a Mysterious Ice Token!"
As he spoke, he patted his pocket confidently. In his opinion, it was not easy for ordinary people to get even one of the treasures left by Lu Tianlan. But he had more than a dozen of them in his pocket. This time, it was not only safe, but also as stable as Mount Tai!
= - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - =
After a while. Mount Tai collapsed.
Mu Xiaomei delivered the treasures this time. At this time, Ying Feiyang's eyes were bloodshot. Like a gambler who had bet his last copper coin, he stared down and gnashed his teeth. He said, "I don't believe it's so strange that someone will beat me every time!"
"Brother Ying, don't worry. There will be no problem this time … right?" Fairy Ling Xin comforted him, but her voice was getting lower and lower. Even she did not believe it.
This was because the same thing had happened eight times.
After 'pearls and jades', they offered at least one treasure for each of the 'talismans', 'elixirs', 'sabers and swords' in exchange for the Black Ice Token in Princess Linglong's hands. However, they failed every single time.
The treasures given by Lu Tianlan were all novel and rare. But the others seemed to have come specifically for Princess Linglong. There was a treasure in each category, which was better than his. This made Ying Feiyang very depressed.
Now, the treasure auction was about to end. There were only two categories left, 'Rare Fruits' and 'Martial Arts Manuals'.
"Brother Tianming, Sister Shi, why are you still pulling a long face?" Mu Xiaomei came back and saw the tense atmosphere. She cheered them on, "I'm tempted by the items this time. No woman can reject them. Princess Linglong is no exception!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mister Dodger shouted from below, "Guests of the Soaring Eagle Hall, one Everlasting Beauty Fruit, a strange plant that grows in the Southern Border and is formed by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It only appears once every ten years, and eating this fruit will make one's appearance not fade for ten years! It's the dream fruit of all women in the world! "
"Eternal Beauty Fruit?" Princess Linglong exclaimed. She did not hide her desire.
"There's a chance!" Ying Feiyang clenched his fists subconsciously. There was hope in his eyes.
At this moment, Mister Dodge revealed the last treasure and said in surprise, "What a coincidence. The guests from the Blue Shark Hall also brought an Eternal Beauty Fruit! Each of them is a rare Eternal Beauty Fruit. There are actually two of them in today's treasure auction! "
"Not again!" Ying Feiyang angrily punched the ground with his fist.
"Don't worry." The fairy held her Light Dust tightly. Her palms were sweaty, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Princess Linglong will never think that she's too young. To her, the more Eternal Beauty Fruits, the better!"
"I want both of these Eternal Beauty Fruits!" Princess Linglong's voice was heard. Her tone was firm and determined.
"That's great!" Ying Feiyang and the other two cheered and were about to high-five.
Suddenly, Princess Linglong exclaimed, "Aiya!" "Oh no, I'm going to use up all the Mystic Ice Badges my sister gave me. In the past, three Mystic Ice Badges were too much. What's wrong with me this year? I brought ten Mystic Ice Badges, but it's not enough!"
Princess Linglong hesitated for a moment and said regretfully, "I only have two Mysterious Ice Tokens now, and I want to keep one to exchange for some cultivation technique manuals. Therefore, I can only buy one of the two Eternal Beauty Fruits …"
"Are you kidding me?" Ying Feiyang's heart fell to the bottom again.
Mr. Dodge said, "Both Eternal Beauty Fruits are the same. I wonder which one Princess Linglong wants to buy?"
"Blue Shark Hall …" Princess Linglong muttered, "Wang Nianzhi, Old Wang, is that you in Blue Shark Hall?"
"So what if it is?" Wang Nianzhi's indifferent voice came from Blue Shark Hall.
Princess Linglong said, "We're friends after all. If there's business, it's natural to do it with an acquaintance. I'll use the Mystic Ice Badge to exchange for your Eternal Beauty Fruit. Do you want to trade?"
Wang Nianzhi said, "The Eternal Beauty Fruit is useless to me. Why not?"
"Then it's a deal!" As soon as Princess Linglong finished speaking, a Mystic Ice Badge flew into Blue Shark Hall. Then, in a good mood, she joked, "Useless? You have no taste. Old Wang, if it was a few decades ago, I would recommend you to keep the fruit for yourself. After all, you used to be a scholarly person. Look at you now, an old man. "
She was in a good mood, but Ying Feiyang was in a terrible mood. It was the last round of sales, the last Mystic Ice Badge, and he wanted to enter the Crystal Palace to exchange for the Yaksha Heavenly Book. There was only one chance left. If he missed this chance, all his previous efforts would be in vain. It would be even harder to get the Yaksha Heavenly Book.
There were a few people who were interested in the Eternal Beauty Fruit and asked for it. Ying Feiyang ignored them and took back the item. He said angrily, "It's just one fruit. I'm not going to trade. You two can share it!"
"I'm not at the age to eat the Eternal Beauty Fruit. Brother Tianming, do you like the younger ones?" Mu Xiaomei opened her eyes wide and said untimely.
"Sister Xiaomei, you can't speak without thinking." Fairy Ling Xin shook her head and said, "I don't need it either. Brother Ying, don't be angry. Keep the fruit first. The remaining martial arts manuals are the ones we are most confident in."
"I've always felt the same way before … Fine, I'll bet on it for the last time!" Ying Feiyang forced himself to cheer up and started the last round of sales.
This time, Ying Feiyang specially told Mu Xiaomei to be the last to present the treasure. "Usually, the last one to appear will win. This is metaphysics."
It was obvious that Ying Feiyang was desperate since he even believed in metaphysics. But perhaps there really was a "metaphysics" in the world. Mister Dodger introduced one secret manual after another, but there were no worthy competitors. Princess Linglong was also disinterested and did not speak again.
Finally —
"Eagle Hall, incomplete chapter of Divine Water Defense Spell. Divine Water Defense Spell is a defensive martial art passed down by the Shell Demon Clan of the East Sea. It can turn water into a shell and protect the body. Unfortunately, the last three pages were lost due to the passage of time. Therefore, there is a weak point in the martial art that cannot protect the whole body. And these are the last three pages of Divine Water Defense Spell. "Mister Dodger finished introducing Ying Feiyang's trump card.
Princess Linglong, Bei Xuanji's original body was a clam, so naturally, she had cultivated the Divine Water Manipulation Technique. If she could obtain the last three pages, she would be able to repair her weak point, and her defensive power would definitely increase to another level. Among the secret manuals that were displayed now, there was indeed nothing more attractive to Princess Linglong than the incomplete pages of the Divine Water Manipulation Technique.
Sure enough, Princess Linglong said, "Incomplete chapter of Divine Water Defense Spell? That's really what I like. This is the last item, right? If there's nothing else, then I … "
