Speaking of which, Ji Yi even cupped his hands towards the valley to show his respect. "This is the most effective for demonic beasts. It can make your transformation more perfect and even allow you to be reborn into a human form. This is not a simplified transformation, but it can allow you to completely get rid of your demonic identity. However, the price is also very serious. You will have to start cultivating from the beginning."
"At that time, you can cultivate demonic energy or human immortal energy. Of course, you can choose not to completely transform into a human form. It can allow your cultivation to advance to the next level. However, it is only limited to those below the middle stage of Jin Xian. If you have any questions, you can ask the person in charge. The starting price is 20 milliliters."
"Does this thing really have such a strong effect?" Gu Zheng asked Wu Xiu who was beside him.
"Of course. I was also present when it was appraised. It is said that this is a pill left behind by the divine bird. Unfortunately, it can no longer be stored. In the past, its effect was to retain one's current cultivation and transform into a human form. However, the medicinal effect has been severely depleted. If this goes on, it probably won't even have the ability to increase one's cultivation. Therefore, the elder is preparing to take it out." Wu Xiu said solemnly.
Because it was said that it was only effective for non-humans and its greatest effect was only on the early stage of Jin Xian, there were nearly 200 demonic beasts present. However, most of them were discussing it. Those who could afford it did not need it. Those who needed it did not have that much green liquid. For a moment, no one went out to bid.
After hearing Wu Xiu's confidence, Gu Zheng directly stepped forward. Under Wu Xiu's puzzled gaze, he squeezed through the crowd and walked to the open space. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation had no choice but to follow suit.
Because if no one wanted it, it would be treated as a failed auction. After the auction, it would be auctioned again. However, the price would be reduced by half. If no one wanted it, it would be taken back and sold to the official team at a discounted price. Of course, there were also some good things that were sold at a cheaper price.
In this way, a few demonic beasts came to Gu Zheng's side. All of them had transformed into their human forms. They could not maintain their original forms here. Only after leaving the valley would they not ask about this.
Hua Long's eyes flickered as he looked at Gu Zheng. After thinking for a while, he walked out from the front and came to Gu Zheng's side.
Many people were boiling with excitement. The Magnificent Dragon Squad was also one of the top squads. All of them were at the late Jindan Stage, and they were unique. Normally, the things in their hands would not be worse than what was being auctioned. However, for something that their squad did not need, it was really not worth it.
One had to know that before the auction began, Hua Long could have taken it out at a more favorable price to prevent it from leaking out. Furthermore, the valley would have replenished it. This was the privilege of an official expert.
Looking at Liu Hualong's provocative look at Gu Zheng, all of this was made clear. The few demonic beasts who came up later looked at each other and directly went down, giving up on this auction. Even if they lost face, they didn't care.
Only Gu Zheng and Hua Long were left on the stage. Gu Zheng looked at Ji Yi indifferently, as if he didn't know what was happening next to him. He was waiting for the person in charge to open his mouth.
Gu Zheng also understood that Hua Long had deliberately come to cause trouble. However, Gu Zheng was not afraid at all. He said to the person in charge who was somewhat surprised.
"Can we start now?"
"Yes." The person in charge came back to his senses and announced the start of the auction.
"Twenty-one." Hua Long was the first to open his mouth and directly looked at Gu Zheng.
How could Gu Zheng not feel the burning gaze that wanted to tear him apart? However, he pretended that it didn't exist and simply didn't look at him.
"Twenty-two." Gu Zheng shouted.
This time, everyone was shocked. If he dared to not give face to Hua Long, he would inevitably suffer in the future. One had to know that Hua Long was a person who cared about face the most. As long as he was given face, everything would be fine. Otherwise, he would suffer a lot.
Elder Qin and Elder Qin were watching from somewhere in the valley. For such an important event, the two of them would definitely be observing from the side. Elder Qin frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Isn't this Hua Long a bit too much? It seems like we have to warn him next time."
Madam Qin nodded and said, "Indeed, even if he is from that side, he has indeed crossed the line. However, he is a smart person and knows what to do. Didn't you see that in these thousands of years, he didn't kill or cause anyone to die because of him?"
Elder Qin helplessly thought for a moment. It was indeed so. Even if he was dissatisfied with someone, he would only threaten them verbally. At most, he would find time to beat them half to death. If that person had a mission, he wouldn't touch them and would just wait for them to come back. He was indeed smart, not leaving any evidence for others to use against him.
Because he didn't cross the line, coupled with his own strength, most people didn't care even if they didn't like him. The last person had been arguing with him for thousands of years. Although he was often beaten, that guy actually treated it as a form of training. Unfortunately, although he was quite strong, he only managed to survive four big battles and accidentally died in the last one.
There were very few people from the ancient times who could live until now. Most of them were people who had lived for nearly a thousand years. Many of them either died in battle, were captured and turned into puppets, or went missing. In this place, going missing was equivalent to being dead.
"Next time, just give him half of the green liquid and he will know what's going on." Madam Qin looked at her old man's conflicted face and directly said.
Elder Qin nodded and agreed with this idea. He continued to watch.
"Forty-one."
"Forty-two."
The two people's voices were flat, but the anger between them had already risen. They both added milliliters by milliliters.
At this time, the discussion around them was getting louder and louder. Hua Long also knew that if he didn't stop now, he would arouse public anger.
When Gu Zheng added 50, Hua Long directly turned around and walked away, giving up.
Looking at that angry face, many people felt that Gu Zheng, who was only in the middle stage of Jin Xian, was going to be in big trouble. Some also felt that since it was already the Holy War, they might not necessarily survive. Even if they offended Hua Long, it didn't matter.
Seeing that Gu Zheng really took out a big bottle of green liquid and handed it over, many people were very envious. How could there be so many middle stage Golden Core cultivators? The most likely reason was that they handed over something valuable and rewarded it.
After getting the Lost Pill, everyone made way for Gu Zheng on the way back. They all felt that it was not worth it for Gu Zheng to become enemies with Hua Long for this thing. Maybe if he gave some face, there would be no conflict between the two. They all looked at him curiously.
Gu Zheng sneered at them. Face was not something that could be earned by oneself. It was not something that could be given out by others.
Hua Long looked at Gu Zheng's calm face as he went back. He was simply treating him as air. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at him. Facing the comfort of his team members, Hua Long's angry face calmed down.
The members of Hua Long's team looked at each other and didn't continue to persuade him. This time, he was really hated by his team leader. They could only pray that he would die in the upcoming battle, so that they wouldn't have to worry about him every day.
"You will completely provoke him like this. You have to be careful." Wu Xiu said with a worried face.
Gu Zheng shrugged. If he was really weak, he would definitely be worried. But he still had to thank Wu Xiu for her concern.
Rubbing Wu Xiu's small head, Gu Zheng casually replied, "It's okay, don't worry."
Wu Xiu removed Gu Zheng's hand from her head. She protested against Gu Zheng messing up her hair. However, she still continued to talk about the next auction item for Gu Zheng.
Soon, the last auction item was sold. The people on the stage quickly left, leaving behind a large group of people.
These people took advantage of the crowd to buy what they needed or sell what they didn't need.
Wu Xiu was afraid that her brother would discover that she had snuck out. She said goodbye to Gu Zheng and hurriedly went back.
"Wait, I'll give you this." He still had some green liquid left. Thinking that it wouldn't be of much use to him, and seeing that Wu Xiu was about to leave, he might as well give it to Wu Xiaofeng and the others.
"No, no, no, I can't take this. It's too precious." How could Wu Xiu not know how precious this thing was?
"Take it. Just say that I went to your place to give it to you. I really don't need it." Gu Zheng forcefully gave the thing to Wu Xiu, then turned and walked into the crowd, disappearing from Wu Xiu's sight.
Gu Zheng casually looked around. Many of the items that everyone had put up for sale were not bad. After strolling around and exchanging for what he needed, Gu Zheng returned with a full load. Some things were really cheap here.
The Asura army was already waiting on the other side of the road. The day after tomorrow was the day of assembly. When the time came, everyone would go to the other side of the road to face the enemy. This place could not be the main battlefield. If the valley was destroyed, everyone would cry to death.
Before they reached home, Little Worm stretched lazily and came out of Gu Zheng's ear. It happily flew around Gu Zheng.
"What's going on? Why are you so happy? Did you break through? Or did something good happen that you don't know about?" Gu Zheng teased.
"Hmph, none of your business." Little Worm's face was full of joy. "Hurry up, I'm starving. I want to eat, I want to take a bath."
"Here, don't even think about taking a bath." Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. He took out a Fire Stone and threw it at Little Worm. Little Worm immediately swallowed it in one gulp. However, he still immediately shouted, "I want to take a bath. Give me water. I'll take a bath myself. I haven't taken a bath in so many days."
As he spoke, he even sniffed himself and made a look of disdain. "Hurry up, I want to take a bath. I feel so dirty." Little Worm used a coquettish tone to plead.
"Alright, alright, here you go." Gu Zheng was getting dizzy from all the talking. In any case, he usually used a spell to clean himself up. Fortunately, when he was preparing things for Xue Er, he had also packed some water.
Little Worm put away all the buckets. It had been too hard for him previously. It had taken him so much effort to send out the news. He wanted to take a bath to reward himself.
"Let's go to the forest over there. It's too empty here." Gu Zheng felt that this pet that had been spoiled really had a lot of demands. However, he still followed Little Worm. After all, this was what Big Sister Xiong had told him to do. Anyway, he had nothing else to do now.
At the same time, in the south, in a place that everyone yearned for, a figure appeared from the teleportation point with a whoosh.
A young man with a cold and ugly face appeared from the teleportation point. He first looked around, then walked out without a word. Looking at this familiar yet strange scene, a trace of nostalgia flashed across the young man's eyes.
Everything here was different from back home. It was a sea of blood, but this place made him miss it even more. He had long gotten used to the scenery outside, the weather outside, the flowers and trees outside, everything. However, without someone to accompany him, he realized that he did not miss it all.
All of this was when he returned home. Everything was different. The young man walked out under the watchful eyes of the two guards.
"Is this the youngest member of the Su family? Why is he here? "The guard on the left asked the guard on the right.
"Who knows? It's a pity. It seems that the elders of his family met with an accident while carrying out a mission. Rumor has it that they all died in a secret realm. Now, he's the only direct descendant of the family. However, he's always outside, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with him …" The guard on the right sighed.
"What's wrong, brother? Go on, I really don't know what happened. When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink." The guard on the left was itching to hear the story.
"You said you'd treat me to a drink. You can't go back on your word." The guard on the left saw that the other party nodded in agreement. This matter was considered a public matter in the Shura Tribe. It was just that this idiot who had been stationed here for a long time did not know about it. However, it was not bad to be able to save money on a drink.
"It's because he has a mutated ice cicada on him. The silk threads that it produces have amazing defensive power. It's just that the production is too small. When he was young, he was chosen by his family and was trained as the next generation. He's worthy of being called a genius. His talent is outstanding. So, he was rewarded with an ice cicada by his family. When he grew up a little, he lived with the ice cicada in a secret stronghold outside their family all year round."
"Originally, everything would go according to plan. Unfortunately, most of the elders in his family are trapped in a secret realm. They might have already died. So, some villains in the family wanted to find a good master and told Young Master Feng."
"You're talking about the little overlord of the Feng family?" The guard on the left took a deep breath. He knew how powerful the Feng family was.
"Yes, that's right. Who is Young Master Feng? He's been coveting that treasure for a long time. Besides, who doesn't covet their family's treasure?" The guard on the right also had a look of envy. "I heard that the kid went home to pack his things. Young Master Feng went to his door to ask for it. In the end, he couldn't find it after searching his entire house. The Su family's kid insisted that he lost it outside, but someone told Young Master Feng that he saw the ice cicada with his own eyes."
"You know the result. The deceived Young Master Feng insisted that the Su family's kid deceived him. He directly tore down their house. Even the Su family's kid was seriously injured. In the end, he found that he couldn't find it and gave up." The guard on the right looked emotional.
"Then, is he recuperating from his injuries and trying to break through to a higher level here?"
"Maybe. But that has nothing to do with us. It's better to obediently complete the task assigned by the higher-ups." After the guard on the right finished speaking, he closed his eyes to rest. But in his heart, he was thinking about how to kill the new guard.
The guard on the left looked at the opposite side with admiration. As expected of an old senior. Next time, he must ask for advice.
Although their voices were soft, the stern young man still heard every word. He clenched his hands tightly and controlled his temper. In this place where the weak preyed on the strong, if you didn't have enough strength, you had to be obedient. Otherwise, even if you died, no one would care.
The stern young man suddenly felt very disgusted with his own race. He had been wandering in the outside world for so many years. Although the outside world was also like this, it was not as realistic as his own race. As long as you didn't have strength, you were an animal waiting to be slaughtered.
Thinking of his own elders who might have died, the great changes in his family, and Young Master Feng's attitude of stepping on him, even if he could resist, what was the use? Those who had once tried to curry favor with him, now everyone wanted to step on him.
He had really fallen from heaven to a whisper. He truly understood what was called the hypocrisy of the world.
At that moment, he didn't know how much he hated that group of people. He hated everything that he had suffered, and he hated everything that they had done.
If it wasn't for the fact that he still had someone in his heart, he would have long lost control and fought them to the death. No matter what, Little Worm, hang in there and wait for me!
Su Nan strode forward. Her injuries hadn't completely healed yet. She had to rest here for a while. When the time came, she would find a chance to sneak away with Little Worm and fly far away, leaving this place that made her sad.
.....
"Hurry up, don't dawdle." Little Worm flew in the air, urging Gu Zheng behind him. Gu Zheng had no choice but to speed up. This Little Worm seemed to have taken stimulants, completely different from his listless appearance before.
Arriving at a fake forest, Little Worm nodded in satisfaction. Because there were many large trees here, full of leaves, it looked like a small forest. At the same time, this was also the border of the valley.
She said to Gu Zheng, "Wait for me here, and protect me while you're at it."
What else could Gu Zheng say? In any case, he was going to accompany her today. Seeing Gu Zheng agree, Little Worm flew in happily, burrowing into the leaves and disappearing. Gu Zheng only had time to cast a detection spell on her. If she encountered any danger, she would notify him immediately.
After staying here for a while, looking at the tall trees and the quiet surroundings, Gu Zheng also felt bored. He walked along the edge of the forest, wondering why Little Worm was so happy. He followed the edge of the forest to a corner.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw a few people talking. Not far from them, there was a small red, purplish river flowing slowly.
So they were members of the Magnificent Dragon Squad. Could this be their base? Thinking of their positions, it made sense that they would be here. Gu Zheng immediately retracted his foot. He was ready to go back. He had no interest in quarreling with them.
"Who goes there!" A loud warning rang out. With a swoosh, five people rushed over. Although Gu Zheng retracted his foot quickly, he was still discovered by them.
With a few leaps, the five of them had caught up and blocked Gu Zheng's path.
"I was wondering who it was that dared to sneak in here. So it was you. I've long felt that there was something wrong with you. Are you a spy from the other side? Tell us the truth." A member of the Magnificent Dragon Squad came up and pinned a big hat on Gu Zheng.
