Chapter 256 Malicious speculation
The auction came abruptly, and everyone could not help but secretly suspicious, but they were excited to gather at the auction center in the city.
Canglong City was recaptured, but the market was abandoned. The auction was also closed. A group of monks obtained cultivation supplies in the Purple Smoke Mountains and could only exchange them privately. This auction just satisfies everyone's needs. Moreover, the beast disaster is approaching, magic weapons and spiritual weapons are all things that are not easy to obtain, the more the better.
The monks outside the auction house gathered more and more. At noon, half of the monks in Canglong City gathered here.
"Liaojin vine, molian, dragon zhu grass, monkey face flower... These spiritual medicines are all treasures for refining medium-grade elixirs. Tianshifu has a big appetite?"
"So what? They are asking for it, and they are not snatching it from you. By the way, I remember you don't have a lotus in your hand?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I am willing to take out the magic weapon for auction. Tianshi Mansion is really generous!"
"Is it possible that the monster is about to attack the city, and there will be a fierce battle?"
Outside the auction hall, six thick snow-white jade pillars stood, with spiritual light lingering on the jade pillars, and lines of handwriting were constantly floating. The handwriting on the four jade pillars was the types of treasures to be auctioned, and the handwriting on the other two jade pillars was spiritual materials that needed to be purchased. A group of monks stared at the handwriting and talked about it...
On the west side of the city lord's mansion, in a tightly restricted attic, the fragrance of tea scented. Shangguan Liuyun held a jasper tea cup in his hand, and sipped the cup of spiritual tea leisurely. However, Jin Hao's face was gloomy and he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
"This doesn't look like your personality. Let's talk about it, what kind of holiday does it have between you?"
Jin Hao suddenly stopped and looked at Shangguan Liuyun with a bright look.
"Okay, you must know, I'll tell you!"
Shangguan Liuyun put down the teacup in his hand, looked dark, sighed, and said, "The four genius disciples of the genius in the Yunxi Mountains that year... Unlike me, Liu Changsheng chose to die rather than be humiliated, and chose to fight against the two damn demons of Xiaoyao Sect. But we don't have the courage of him. In order to save our lives, we can only succumb to the tyranny for the time being. Because of this, I admire him. Even if he beats me and scolds me and looks down on me, I will not care about him!"
When Jin Hao was shocked and surprised when he heard Shangguan Liuyun talk about the thrillingness of the past and Liu Changsheng's unwillingness to be humiliated, his face changed several times. Finally, a sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "He was not courage, but stupid. He did not die in Shen Menghai's hands. He was lucky. By the way, how did he escape?"
"Don't know!"
Shangguan Liuyun shook his head, pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "This matter is very strange. I thought about it all night and couldn't understand why his realm and magical powers have rapidly advanced to such a terrifying level. I always feel that Shen Menghai was not as strong as him back then!"
"Can he behaved as Shen Menghai or was taken over by Shen Menghai?"
Jin Hao's eyes lit up, and his face felt excited, as if he had seen a secret.
"I thought so before, but a few years ago, Xiaofeng City was captured by a large army of monsters. I heard that he had killed Yangsha Guyun Mountain in the city. If he was captured by Shen Menghai, how could he attack his senior brother?"
"Any disciple of Xiaoyao Sect is not an inhumane devil. It is not uncommon to do anything evil. No, I must tell Uncle Yan about this matter. Let Uncle Yan find out the truth. You must never let the spies of Xiaoyao Sect sneak into my Zizhu Mountain Range again. The culprit of the disaster suffered by the genius disciples of the Yunxi Mountain Range was Jiang Tao, the damn spy of Xiaoyao Sect!"
Jin Hao said as if gritting his teeth, but his face was filled with excitement.
"Uncle Yan won't believe your guess. Have you forgotten Mr. Yan's admonition yesterday? Liu Chang just saved the disciples led by Uncle Lin Dong a few days ago and made great contributions!"
Shangguan Liuyun shook his head and said, frowning.
"Don't you think the great achievement he made was too exaggerated? He was just in the early stage of the Golden Pill, and he was able to escape from the noses of the four transformed demon kings. There was something strange everywhere. Xiaoyao Sect has always been in sync with the demon clan. This matter might be a bitter plan to allow him to gain a foothold in the Zizhu Mountains and steal more information!"
Jin Hao still sticks to his guess.
"I still think there is something wrong with this. Think about it, if he was pretending to be Chen Menghai, why is he so arrogant? The spy has always been unrestrained?"
"How do you defend him everywhere? The reason why he is so arrogant may be even more sinister. Maybe he wants to sneak into the Heavenly Master Hall and become a secret disciple!"
"You mean, he came for that big thing?"
"That's right, your words remind you that the Qinglian Secret Realm had a change back then. It was not until the space had just stabilized a while ago. The senior management of our Tianshi Mansion was selecting the genius disciples from the Jindan Realm to enter the secret realm. He suddenly appeared. Is this just a coincidence? Why didn't he return to the mountain gate a few years ago? No, this matter is related to the plan of our Tianshi Mansion and must not be destroyed!"
After Jin Hao said that, he hurriedly turned around and left without waiting for Shangguan Liuyun to say something.
Watching him walk away, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Liuyun's mouth, he picked up the teapot and filled the teacup calmly...
In the side hall on the left side of the city lord's mansion, Zhenren Dongxuan and Yan Xiao listened quietly to Jin Hao's story.
"I don't agree with Junior Brother Shangguan's guesses. However, after thinking about it, I still feel that it is necessary to tell the two uncles about this. If Liu Changsheng has a ghost, it will be a big trouble! The tragic incident in the Yunxi Mountains that year damaged the eight Golden Elders of my Tianshi Mansion and dozens of Tianshi disciples. If these tragic disciples can survive to this day, at least one-quarter of the advanced level of the Golden Elders. As a lesson, this kind of tragic incident cannot happen again!"
Jin Hao said with a respectful expression.
"Okay, I get it, you go down!"
Yan Xiao waved his hand expressionlessly and signaled Jin Hao to retreat.
"Yes, my disciple will leave!"
Jin Hao gave a gift to the two of them, turned around and left honestly...
"What do you think of senior brother?"
Yan Xiao turned his head and looked at Dongxuan Zhenren.
"What does junior sister mean?"
Zhenren Dongxuan asked with a faint smile.
"There is indeed suspicious about this Liu Changsheng. In just ten years, he can advance from the seventh level of Qi Condensation to the realm of the Golden Pill. His talent is so outstanding. His current supernatural powers are even more difficult to guess. The reason why my sister asked Jiang Youdao and others to compete with Liu Changsheng yesterday was to unravel these mystery groups!"
Yan Xiao frowned slightly.
"It is indeed a bit evil to condense the golden elixir after twenty years of cultivation. However, if you have good qualifications and have a large amount of elixirs and demon elixirs to help you, it is not uncommon to do this. I remember that my junior sister was also young when she advanced to the golden elixir, which is enviable?"
"Senior brother is joking. I have been practicing for a full thirty years before I entered the realm of Golden Elixir. And I have not lacked cultivation resources along the way. However, Liu Changsheng does not have such a cultivation environment. In this way, Liu Changsheng is more extraordinary!"
"This doesn't mean anything. There is no common sense to follow the growth of monsters. If the Qi Condensing Disciple enters the realm of Golden Pill, it does not require too many resources?"
"Maybe just as Shangguan Liuyun guessed, he was coming to the Qinglian Secret Realm!"
"Junior sister has thought too much. The Qinglian Secret Realm only has temptations for the Jindan cultivator. His current magical powers are already able to fight the Transformation Demon King alone, and he has robbed the three Wanbao Pavilions of the Divine Soldier Sect. At this auction today, 90% of the treasures auctioned were from him. With so many resources, he may not be moved by the Qinglian Secret Realm!"
"Maybe he has a bigger purpose?"
"What's the purpose? Is it a subverting the Heavenly Master Mansion with one's own strength? If this is the case, how could it be so arrogant?"
"Maybe what my senior brother said makes sense, but I always think that Liu Changsheng's magical powers are ridiculously powerful. Don't you want to know the reason for this!"
After a walk around, Yan Xiao turned the topic back again.
If you think carefully, you will find how unreliable the malicious speculations of Shangguan Liuyun and Jin Hao about Liu Changsheng's identity were, and Yan Xiao naturally understood this.
However, she, who has always been proud, can practice at the same level when she is in the Golden Elixir realm. After entering the Nascent Soul realm, she was knocked down from the altar. It took a long time to last for a hundred years. Now she is still in the early stage of Nascent Soul realm, and even the growth of her magic power is extremely slow.
Over the years, she has been eager to find a shortcut!
Liu Changsheng condensed the golden elixir in just twenty years, and his magical powers were far several times higher than the same level. This made her jealous and moved her. Maybe Liu Changsheng would have mastered a shortcut she needed!
"If the junior sister wants to explore the secrets of Liu Changsheng, why not change them carefully? It is not a good idea to let several junior sisters challenge Liu Changsheng!"
Zhenren Dongxuan said with a faint smile, looking directly at Yan Xiao.
"You mean...discuss the truth?"
"That's right, although Liu Changsheng is in the realm of the Golden Elixir, his understanding of Tao may not be as good as you and me. Why not invite Senior Brother Lin and a group of nephews in the realm of the Golden Elixir to talk about their own Tao, and this will benefit you!"
"Senior Brother has a good idea, I just don't know if Senior Brother Lin is happy. Also, what if Liu Changsheng was perfunctory?"
"Duh! Junior sister is in the face!"
Zhenren Dongxuan was shocked. At this moment, he didn’t look like a Taoist sect, but rather a Buddhist monk!
The voice of Zhenren Dongxuan was not very loud, but it was like a thunder blew up in Yan Xiao's ears, which made his mind shake.
"Okay, let's follow my senior brother!"
Yan Xiao slowly calmed down his distracting thoughts and nodded.
Three Nascent Soul Cultivators in the Tianshi Mansion were in charge of Canglong City. Lin Dong did not allow her to attack Liu Changsheng, and Dongxuan Zhenren also did not support her. She could not speak out, so she could only settle for the second best!
"Okay, I will arrange this!"
After saying that, Zhenren Dongxuan stood up and said goodbye.
Yan Xiao sent him out of the hall with a complicated expression.
At this moment, a noise came from afar. Looking at the direction of the sound, it seemed to be where a group of disciples of Daimeishan lived.
