Volume 1: Abandoned Land Chapter 127: Elder Zheng
As time goes by, the entire Jinling Market becomes more and more lively. Not only are many disciples dressed in sect costumes coming here, but many casual cultivators gather here. Many unusual things in the world of immortal cultivation also appear from time to time, which is eye-opening.
These days I have nothing to do, so Kong Laosan has also walked around.
Five days later, Kong Laosan followed the crowd to the northwest of Jinlingfang City. Jinling Auction House, an industry of Miaodan Sect, is also the largest auction house in the entire Jinlingfang City. This auction will be held here.
When Kong Laosan came here and looked at the countless people around him, he showed a hint of helplessness. It was probably not easy to squeeze into the auction house from the crowd.
The entire Jinling Auction House has seven floors, with some powerful bans around it, and its back is against the mountains, which looks extremely grand. Kong Laosan glanced and found that apart from the main gate, many cultivators walked in from the other side. After observation, Kong Laosan found that if these who could enter from the side gate were not as strong as foundation building, they would be some disciples of the sect with a tough backstage.
Looking at the crowd like a tide, and then looking at the cultivators in groups of three or three who were entering and exiting the side door not far away, Kong Laosan weighed the matter and decided to enter through the side door.
Entering the auction house, Kong Laosan went up the second floor along the escalator. Compared with the noisy environment on the first floor, the second floor is undoubtedly much quieter. The wooden railings and handrails around have good sound insulation. Many seats are prepared properly, and there are many young women wearing long robes waiting by the side.
As soon as he climbed to the second floor, Kong Laosan glanced around and nodded secretly. Just as he was about to find a seat to sit down, his pupils suddenly shrank and his brows frowned unconsciously. Seeing the two people coming from the opposite side, they seemed to be discussing something.
"Elder Zheng, all five major sects will be present at this auction, and you may need to preside over it at that time."
"Haha, it's just a trivial matter. I'm going to meet some old friends too."
The woman is plump and wearing yellow flowers on her head. She looks like a madam in a secular brothel, with a happier look, while the old man next to her has three wisps of whiskers, with a rosy face, but her expression is quite serious.
Seeing this scene, Kong Laosan instantly returned to normal, passing by the two men without any trace, pretending to be unaware of them.
But Kong Laosan didn't know that just as he walked past the two of them, the cold-looking Elder Zheng suddenly sniffed his nose, looked at Kong Laosan's back with a look of surprise, with a hint of surprise on the corner of his mouth, and whispered something in the ear of the woman next to him. The latter nodded secretly, looked at Kong Laosan's back without a trace, and quickly left.
Of course, Kong Laosan didn't know all this.
At this moment, Kong Laosan was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing. Five major sects gathered together. There would naturally be someone coming to the Guiming Sect where he was now. I just didn't know who it was. Thinking of this, Kong Laosan looked unconsciously at the third floor, but through a layer of light curtain, all his eyes were blocked from falling.
About half an hour later, when the hall was crowded and there was no more space, the sound of an ancient bell rang throughout the auction house, and the elder Zheng came late on the wooden red platform.
"Haha, my surname is Zheng, and I am the honorary elder of the Miaodan Sect Dan Pavilion. This auction was also hosted by me. Whether the fellow Taoists here know me or not, the visitor is a guest. I will talk about the ugly words first. This auction invites seven major sects to come together, so naturally some rare spiritual objects are indispensable.
The principle pursued by this auction is that those who are at high prices will get it. If someone has bad intentions and makes some unwise moves during the auction process, this sect will not be ruthless!"
Speaking of this, Elder Zheng's eyes were like lightning, he glanced around and nodded. At the same time, the powerful pressure of the four golden elixir realms around the entire auction house spread without warning, and his eyes looked around without trace. Kong Laosan thought about it, but finally gave up his plan to explore the divine mind.
Although he was extremely confident in his divine power, he naturally could not make a big splash in the entire auction house at this time. At the same time, Kong Laosan was also a little concerned about the elder surnamed Zheng. When he was still in Qingling Sect, in Muyafang Market not far from Qingling Sect, in order to obtain some spiritual weapons and talismans, Kong Laosan sold a bottle of the true demonic energy obtained from the underground space of Qingling Sect. The sixth elder was the elder Zheng who was currently in charge of the auction.
"Haha, okay, I won't say much about the extra words. The auction will begin. The first item is three foundation-building pills!"
Elder Zheng's voice fell, and the whole hall suddenly stopped, and then it became completely boiling. Especially in the first floor hall, most Qi Refiners who had not advanced to build foundations instantly turned red with their eyes red and yelled loudly, as if they were crazy.
Seeing this scene, Kong Laosan was shocked by the great work of Miaodan Sect, and on the other hand, when he saw the excited expressions of these Qi Refining Cultivators below, he felt a little moved. The road to cultivating immortals is difficult, and I don’t know how big the storm these three foundation-building pills will cause.
"It is worthy of being a sect in the Northern Region that is famous for its alchemy technique. If the Miaodan Sect is robbed, I am afraid that I will not have to worry about the elixir when I reach the Nascent Soul realm in the future."
At this moment, a slightly gloomy voice sounded beside Kong Laosan, without any concealment, which made some people look back and watch. Even Kong Laosan couldn't help but look at him in surprise, but the man looked at him without caring at all.
"Brother He, if you really have this ability, do you still have to sit here?"
Another voice teased, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.
"A foundation-building pill has a minimum price of one thousand spirit stones. Now the auction starts, the higher the price will be awarded!"
Elder Zheng coughed twice and said slowly. The sound fell, and there was another sound of gasping in the entire first-floor lobby. Even Kong Laosan couldn't help but shake his head. This price, let alone the Qi Refining Stage, even some cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm could not take it out. Although he had already realized the preciousness of the Foundation Establishment Pill, after hearing this price, he still couldn't help but be amazed.
Sure enough, after hearing this price, some cultivators immediately started to yell, and even some irritable Qi-training cultivators couldn't help but surge in their spiritual power on the spot, as if they were planning to force their actions. However, with the pressure of the four Golden Elixir ancestors, these people suddenly reacted with a trembling reaction and did not dare to act rashly anymore. They just had to hold their faces red, and in the end they could only swallow their breath helplessly.
"Haha, the elixirs sold by our Miaodan Sect are definitely much more effective than ordinary elixirs. I can guarantee everyone that the minimum price is 1,000 spirit stones, or mortgage them with equivalents. Now you can start bidding!"
After the old man finished speaking, there was a little cold moment below, and the whole scene seemed a little deserted, but the old man didn't seem to care, and the old god stood aside.
"One Thousand Spirit Stones!"
In just a moment, a slightly trembling voice sounded in the crowd below. The person who spoke was a man in his thirties with a little flesh on his face and looked a little fierce. However, at this moment, the man kept wiping sweat on his forehead, as if he was very nervous.
"One thousand and ten spirit stones!"
As another voice sounded, the man's face turned pale. Finally, hesitated for a while, shook his head and stopped speaking. However, judging from the harshness that flashed through the latter's eyes, he was obviously a little unwilling to accept it.
“One Thousand Thirty…”
"One thousand one hundred spirit stones..."
······
The elder Zheng was still calm. No matter how much the price rose, he looked like an ancient well without waves. In the end, the first foundation-building pill was captured by an old man at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training with 1,320 spirit stones. After the handover, the old man left the auction house as fast as possible and did not dare to stay at all.
Kong Laosan noticed that just as the old man left, three or four cultivators immediately left. However, he ignored these Confucius Laosan. Even though he was extremely eager for these three foundation-building pills, he had already exhausted all the spirit stones on his body when he was promoted to the tenth level of Qi Refining. In addition, this place was definitely not something he could show off his wealth, which was a rookie in the Qi Refining Stage. Therefore, he suppressed the greed in his heart, and the old god was watching.
After the first auction was completed, the second one also caused many Qi Refiners to compete for it. The bidding for this competition was much more intense than the first time. In the end, it was taken away by a figure covered in a black robe for more than 1,800 spirit stones. However, after the handover of this person, he did not seem to have planned to leave, but was interested in mingling among the crowd, waiting for the other auction items.
There is only one of the three foundation-building pills left. The remaining Qi Refiners are all red. Some cultivators with insufficient spiritual stones are now whispering, looking for some familiar people to piece together, preparing to compete for the last foundation-building pill. However, just as Elder Zheng finished speaking, a sinister voice suddenly sounded on the third floor.
"One thousand spirit stones, the third foundation-building pill, I, the Ghost Underworld Sect, want it!"
As the sound fell, the entire hall could be heard, especially those cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage on the first floor, one by one looked at the third floor in shock, and a moment later, their faces turned into pig liver. The five major sects were already top-notch existences. Not to mention these casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, even those famous old monsters dare not provoke them easily.
Kong Laosan also looked at the third floor in surprise. However, he had just entered the sect and could not tell the owner of this voice at all. However, since the person who spoke was pulling the tiger skin of the Guiming Sect, no one would fight with him without opening his eyes. The last foundation-building pill was bought by him at the price of a thousand spirit stones.
Elder Zheng frowned, but then smiled, "The three foundation-building pills are considered to be a lottery for you. The thing photographed below is an ice-attributed spiritual sword, a top-grade spiritual soldier!"
Elder Zheng said that a young girl holding a tray had already walked onto the stage, holding a white plate as white as jade, covering it with a layer of black gauze.
As soon as the girl walked onto the stage, countless spiritual consciousnesses below swept across the plate. Kong Lao San was the same. He mobilized the power of his spiritual consciousness to investigate, but just as he had just touched the black veil above, a layer of invisible black halo quietly lingered out, bounced away all the dense powers of spiritual consciousness around him.
"hehe!"
Seeing this scene, Elder Zheng smiled slightly, flicked his palm, lifted up the black veil, rolled up his sleeves, and the three-inch long spiritual sword automatically fell into his hand. As Elder Zheng poured his spiritual power into it, a layer of milky white cold air suddenly flashed on the surface of the spiritual sword. The cold air condensed but did not dissipate, and it condensed into dozens of small cold air small swords the size of a palm. As Elder Zheng kept dancing in his hands, these small swords kept changing between the cold air and the small sword, looking extremely illusory.
"This ice spirit sword was purchased from a late stage senior at a very high price. With the advanced level of the late stage of the Dan, this spiritual sword is still extremely important. It can be seen that the preciousness of this spiritual sword. If you want to exert the true power of this spiritual sword, you can only refine it. The minimum price is also one thousand spirit stones, and each price increase must not be less than one hundred spirit stones. Now you start bidding!"
As soon as Elder Zheng finished speaking, the whole hall boiled again. Even Kong Laosan looked at the spirit sword with a hint of heat. However, although his spiritual roots were mixed, they did not have ice-attributed spiritual roots. Even if he slapped the spirit sword into his hand, it would be difficult to exert its true power. Finally, after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and gave up.
This time, the items were not many, but the quality was much higher than before. The items auctioned were all high-quality. Even Kong Laosan couldn't help but shoot a spirit beast bag with some flying swords and monster materials.
Storage bags are extremely common in the world of immortal cultivation and are not expensive, but spiritual beast bags are rare. One of Kong Laosan's original ones was also the blessing of Senior Brother Yue in the snake courtyard. The production process of the spirit beast bag has long been lost, especially it is even more difficult to find a spirit beast bag that matches the habits of the spirit beasts they are raising. The storage bags captured this time complement the habits of the blood-crowned snake, which is also the reason why Kong Laosan is willing to buy them at such a price.
The sun had just set westward, and the entire auction had been held by one-third. After the egg of a tarsal crocodile was captured by a cultivator of the Liuhe Sect on the third floor, the elder Zheng cleared his throat and suddenly showed a strange look. "The next auction item is a bit special, which was left by a friend of a senior of our Miaodan Sect. It was just stored in this sect and agreed to take it later ten years. However, more than thirty years have passed. I believe that the senior is no longer alive, so the original agreement will naturally be abandoned."
As Elder Zheng finished speaking, a snow-white rabbit was raised from the middle of the backstage.
Chapter completed!
