"Spirit Stone, I can give you spirit stone." Li Tianqi said and took out a storage bag from his body.

"I don't lack spirit stones at all." Hua Taisui shook her head.

"Then...what do you want?" Li Tianqi asked.

Hua Taisui picked up the teacup and took a sip: "This way, you promise to do something for me, and I will take you to the auction."

"What's the matter?" Li Tianqi asked in surprise.

"I haven't thought about it yet, remember it first. After I think about it in the future, you can help me." Hua Taisui said casually.

"This..." Li Tianqi's expression was a little hesitant.

Hua Taisui glanced at Li Tianqi: "Don't worry, I won't mention excessive conditions, in any case, I will let you do it."

Li Tianqi pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I promise you."

"Okay, it's getting late, it's time for us to go back." Hua Taisui stood up and walked towards the door.

"Hey, fellow Hua Daoist, what happened to the auction?" Li Tianqi stood up and asked.

"Since I promised you, I won't go back on my word. Please wait for my news." Hua Taisui walked out of the private room without looking back.

Li Tianqi sighed, asking others for help means holding your breath.

After leaving the restaurant, Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi returned to the inn together. At this time, Li Tianqi learned that Hua Taisui actually lived in this inn, and was on the same floor as Li Tianqi, with several rooms separated by them.

"Go back and have a good rest. When it's time for the day, I will naturally take you there." Hua Taisui waved to Li Tianqi: "I'm a little tired now, so I'll go back to my room to rest first. Remember, it's nothing important, don't disturb me." After that, Hua Taisui returned to his house.

In the next few days, Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui stayed together almost every day. They went out to play during the day and went back to the inn to rest at night. Xiaoyong lived a very leisurely life.

After several days of getting along, Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui became familiar with each other, and the two really became good friends.

...

A closed and secret room.

Jinhua sat on the chair, frowned slightly, and thought about her thoughts.

"KaKaKa..."

The door of the secret room was opened, and Cheng Gang, dressed in white, walked in quickly.

Jinhua raised her head: "Cheng Gang, how are you doing? Have you found that Li Tianqi?"

Cheng Gang shook his head: "No, I asked my disciples to search inside and outside the small town for several days, but I couldn't find Li Tianqi's whereabouts... Since I could not expose the robbery of the caravan, I could only secretly search Li Tianqi's whereabouts. In this way, the search effect would be much worse... Is there any news from Chen Bao?"

"No, Chen Bao has not heard any news so far. It seems that there is no progress in his place." Jinhua said with a frown.

"Sister Jinhua, I have never been as depressed as I am now. I am so suffocating." Cheng Gang let out a breath.

"I feel so angry, but what can I do? If I fail to act, I will fail, and it will be useless to get angry. The most important thing now is to find the whereabouts of the puppet spider as soon as possible!" Jinhua said.

Cheng Gang nodded: "I understand, Senior Sister Jinhua, if nothing else, I will go out first." After that, Cheng Gang turned around and left the secret room.

...

Mingyue Sect is a sect of immortal cultivation that has been passed down for thousands of years. It has strong sects and is very famous in the human world. If you want to rank, Mingyue Sect will definitely be among the top ten of all the sects of immortal cultivation.

Recently, the disciples of Mingyue Sect have frequently gone down the mountain. In just a few days, hundreds of disciples left Mingyue Sect. After these disciples went down the mountain, they immediately dispersed and headed in all directions.

In a high altitude, several men were flying in the air, looking at their outfits and clothes, they should be disciples of Mingyue Sect.

"Senior Brother, who is the person Elder Zhang asked us to find?" A young man with big eyes asked the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man, known as the eldest brother, said, "I don't know who it is, but I have heard of this man killing Elder Zhang's three disciples."

"No wonder Elder Zhang is so angry. It turns out that that guy killed Elder Zhang's three disciples." A trace of surprise appeared on the young man with big eyes.

"This man is so brave. Even Elder Zhang's disciples dare to kill him, and he will only kill three of them. I think he is tired of living." Another fat young man with big ears snorted.

"I'm so depressed. I originally planned to attack the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage in Mingyue Sect when they were in seclusion. Who knew that they were sent out to find the murderer who killed Elder Zhang's disciples? I was so depressed." The black-faced man next to him said helplessly.

"Who told us that we have low cultivation level and can only do the hardest and most tiring work." The young man with big eyes curled his lips.

"When will we make it through?" The fat and big-eared young man also looked depressed.

"Okay, don't complain." The eldest brother waved his hand: "Let's find the murderer quickly. Only by catching the murderer can we return to Mingyue Sect. At that time, maybe we can get some rewards..."

The fat and big-eared young man said disdainfully: "Reward? Senior brother, you don't need to comfort us. Elder Zhang is famously stingy and stingy, so he can't bear to give us a reward."

The eldest brother frowned and glared at the fat and big-eared young man: "Be careful when speaking. If Elder Zhang knows that you dare to say bad things about him behind his back, he will never spare you!"

"We are thousands of miles away from Mingyue Sect. How could Elder Zhang know that I was talking bad about him?" The fat young man with big ears said indifferently: "Besides, I'm telling the truth, not fabricated out of thin air. Elder Zhang is indeed stingy."

The eldest brother curled his lips: "It's enough to understand some things in his heart. There's no need to say them. Don't you understand the reason why disaster comes from the mouth?" At this point, the eldest brother paused: "As disciples, we must do things for the masters. Don't complain unnecessary. Put it away. We are much better than the disciples in the Qi Refining Stage. At least we can get some spirit stones and elixirs every month, and can go to the library to read classics at any time. Those disciples in the Qi Refining Stage are not as lucky as us... Okay, don't say these useless anymore, so think about how to capture the murderer."

"Elder Zhang only gave us a portrait, and did not give us any other clues. We are like looking for a needle in a haystack now." The young man with big eyes said depressedly.

"If there is a clue, Elder Zhang doesn't have to send so many disciples to find the murderer..." The senior brother sighed: "Anyway, Elder Zhang has not restricted us this time, so let's look for it slowly. If it can be found, it's best, but it's impossible to find it... there is nothing we can do."

Everyone nodded and stopped talking.

...

Ten days passed without realizing it.

In the evening that day, Hua Taisui came to Li Tianqi's room: "Clean up, we'll go to the auction."

"Is there news?" Li Tianqi's eyes lit up and he stood up from the chair.

Hua Taisui took out a token and shook it: "Well, I already know the location of the auction now, let's go there now."

"Okay." Li Tianqi nodded and followed Hua Taisui to leave the inn.

After leaving the inn, Hua Taisui walked straight towards the city gate. In order not to attract the attention of interested people, Hua Taisui did not walk very quickly, but was slightly faster than ordinary people.

Li Tianqi followed closely behind, looking at the city gate that was getting closer and closer, and asked in confusion: "Is the auction located outside the city?"

Hua Taisui nodded: "Yes, the message given to me on the messaging token is outside the city."

After a while, Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui walked out of the city gate. After leaving the city gate, Hua Taisui identified the direction, then turned around and ran towards the west. Li Tianqi hurriedly followed.

Shortly after Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui left, a man wearing a felt hat and short figure walked out at the city gate. Without saying a word, the man chased directly in the direction where Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui disappeared.

...

Half an hour later.

Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi came to a forest.

"Is the auction located in this wood?" Li Tianqi asked in surprise.

"The information given to me on the token is to go to this wood... Huh?" Before Hua Taisui finished speaking, a red light suddenly shot out from the token in her hand, directly hitting a big tree opposite.

"Click!"

The big tree hit by the red light actually slowly cracked, revealing a dark hole.

"Swish!"

A man in black and wearing a hat jumped out of the hole.

Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi were startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, looking at the man in the hat with vigilance: "Who are you?"

The man from the straw hat glanced at Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui, then looked at the token in Hua Taisui's hand: "Are you here to participate in the auction?" The man from the straw hat spoke very stiffly, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Hua Taisui nodded: "Yes, I'm here to attend the auction... Who are you?"

"I am the guide, give me the token in your hand, and then pay the door fee for ten intermediate spirit stones, and then you can go in." The man in the hat said lightly.

Hua Taisui stretched out her finger and pointed at Li Tianqi: "Can I take him in with me?"

The man in the hat nodded: "According to regulations, people with tokens can bring a friend to the auction, but they need to pay double the spirit stone."

"No problem." Hua Taisui nodded and handed the token and spirit stone directly to the man in the hat.

The man from the hat made way out of the hole behind him: "Okay, you can go in. After you go in, someone will naturally receive you."

Hua Taisui and Li Tianqi nodded and walked into the entrance of the cave together.

After entering the cave entrance, Li Tianqi and Hua Taisui discovered that there was an inclined downward stone stair inside. After walking down the stone stairs about ten feet away, a square stone platform appeared in front, and there was a stone door more than ten feet high on the opposite side of the stone platform.

Li Tianqi reached out and pulled Lahua Tai Sui and said softly: "Fellow Daoist Hua, why do I feel that the yin energy here is so strong..."
