Chapter 48 Meeting a newcomer at the half-moon meeting
Banyue Pavilion's Banyue Hui is the most high-end auction in the entire Hexia City, and only accepts monks with strong financial resources or powerful influence.
The annual Half-Moon Fair collects the best treasures from the entire north as exhibits, including two- to three-color treasures, advanced cultivation techniques, and various rare herbs and materials.
Most of these treasures are valuable but not marketable, so whenever the half-month meeting begins, monks from all over the world will gather.
"If the ghost has not escaped from Hexia City and Xu Chang from the city lord's palace is at the auction, he can go and lure the snake out of the hole to find out the truth."
Ye Qianming's heart moved slightly. He happened to have a few treasures that could cause a stir, especially those that aroused the ghost's interest. He should be able to find one or two clues through this.
So Ye Qianming came to Banyue Pavilion wearing Qianmian. At this time, Banyue Pavilion was bustling with people. In addition to batches of luxuriously dressed and distinguished guests coming to participate in the auction, there were also many monks setting up stalls to sell, and there was a lot of exchanges.
none.
Ye Qianming glanced around without interest, but did not see the Xuanbinghua and Tianling Fruit that he needed, so he had to go to Banyue Pavilion.
Fortunately, there were many herbal medicines for sale inside Banyue Pavilion. Ye Qianming successfully found two herbs. After buying a few more, he wanted to go to the auction venue, but suddenly he saw a figure.
This is a middle-aged man with a big belly, dressed in fine clothes, with early-stage foundation building strength, but with a depressed look on his face.
Beside him, there was a middle-aged talent, swinging his folding fan, and comforted the former: "You don't have to worry about it, fellow Taoist Xu, that ghost is cunning and insidious. It didn't take long for you to break through, and your energy and blood floated. And I saw it with my own eyes when I came here."
Fellow Taoist seriously injured him, and now that his strength has been greatly reduced, he will not be able to hide for long."
Ye Qianming's heart moved slightly: "That fat man in gorgeous clothes is Xu Chang from the City Lord's Mansion?"
After hearing what his friend said, Xu Chang's expression became slightly relieved, and he nodded and smiled: "That's what fellow Taoist said. It's just that although the superiors didn't blame me, I still wanted to make plans early and refine a few pills as an apology."
."
The middle-aged talent smiled in surprise: "I didn't know you had the ability to make alchemy!"
Xu Chang smiled sincerely: "It's just a prescription I got by chance and I was lucky enough to understand it."
Ye Qianming listened to the two talking and joking, and took the opportunity to collect Xuanbinghua and Tianling Fruit to hear some of the herbs Xu Chang pointed out.
"Bitter Coptidis, Chao Yuan Jing, Jade Dragon Ginseng... Are you trying to refine the Hui Yuan Pill?"
The effect of the Recovery Pill is the same as that of the Spirit Release Pill, which is to replenish the spiritual power and foundation of the user. However, the Recovery Pill can only be used to restore the injuries and foundation of monks whose foundation building has fallen to the level of Qi refining.
Moreover, the herbal medicine Xu Chang mentioned was a very remote Hui Yuan Dan prescription. If Ye Qianming hadn't read Old Man Leng Shi's Baicao Collection, he wouldn't have noticed it.
Not only that, Xu Chang also included many useless herbs in the list, which should be used to confuse the public and prevent others from finding out what he was trying to practice. However, the useless herbs were incompatible with each other and could not form elixirs, so Ye Qianming could
You can see something fishy.
It can be seen that Xu Chang did not get one side by chance at all. He should be proficient in this method, otherwise he would not be so sophisticated and cautious!
"The normal recipe for the Hui Yuan Pill is simple and easy to obtain. There is no need to use such an obscure formula. Moreover, if the people in the City Lord's Mansion he wants to donate it to are unlikely to have no means to obtain the Hui Yuan Pill, there is no need to wait for Xu Chang to offer it."
"So Xu Chang is lying. The person he wants to refine the Huiyuan Pill is probably the ghost!"
Ye Qianming became wary. According to the conversation between Xu Chang and Xu Chang, it was Xu Chang who wanted to let Guiying go on the pretext that he had just broken through recently and lacked experience. However, he was discovered by a middle-aged talent and seriously injured Guiying in order not to expose his identity.
, just let it run away.
Xu Chang should be very clear about where the ghost is now. As long as we start from his line, we can gain something.
So Ye Qianming pretended to be a monk attending the auction and followed Xu Chang into the venue.
Seeing Xu Chang and others going up to the private room on the top floor, Ye Qianming was stopped just as he was about to follow.
"Mu Miao'an?"
Ye Qianming was surprised when he saw that the slim and beautiful woman in front of him was none other than Mu Miaoan, who was dealing with Ye Qianming.
At this time, Ye Qianming was wearing Qianmian, so Mu Miaoan naturally couldn't recognize him and just said politely.
"Fellow Taoist, this is a VIP seat. I wonder if you have a certificate?"
Ye Qianming shook his head: "Although I don't have any, I still have some materials. I want to go up there and make friends with some heroes. I wonder if I can buy this VIP seat?"
After hearing this, Mu Miao'an smiled like a flower: "Of course you can, but sitting with people from all parties, the price is not cheap, it requires three hundred spirit stones."
Ye Qianming felt a slight pain in his heart. The three hundred spirit stones were as much as Fairy Yelan's annual salary. Although he was not short of this, the money did not come from the strong wind.
But Ye Qianming also knew that he couldn't follow Xu Chang at this time. If he arranged for the ghost to leave the city after he returned, it would be more difficult for him to find the ghost. Not only that, once the ghost recovers from his injuries, it may not endanger himself and Yu.
Brothers and sisters.
So Ye Qianming had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the three hundred spirit stones, and then Mu Miao'an gave him a number plate with "forty-seven" on it.
Mu Miao'an smiled and said: "If you have something you want to auction, you can send it to me for auction. Banyue Pavilion will charge 10% of the fee, and the rest of the proceeds from the auction will belong to you."
Ye Qianming thought for a while and took out the improved Ghost Nine Steps and Chiyang Bronze Body, two quite impressive exercises. He thought that Ghost Shadow should also know about the destruction of Ghost Snake Cave. In order to investigate the reasons for the destruction of Ghost Snake Cave
The truth is, he will definitely find a way to contact himself who sent the shooting technique.
Even if he is not fooled, this improved and harmless evil cultivation method will attract crazy looting, and it is good to earn some spiritual stones for himself.
Mu Miao'an had outstanding eyes, so he could naturally see the excellence of these two techniques, so he accepted them with a smile and asked a maid to take Ye Qianming up to the top floor.
The private room on the top floor is a huge tea room. Elegant sandalwood tables and chairs are arranged on the white jade porcelain floor. A graceful and graceful maid walks in it, serving tea and water. Many respectable monks are scattered around on different tables and chairs.
They talked and laughed happily, forming small circles.
Ye Qianming quietly sat in a corner and carefully observed Xu Chang's circle in the distance. He only saw a few people drinking tea and chatting, and there was nothing unusual about them.
"Don't worry now, you will naturally have the opportunity when the auction starts."
Just as the auction was about to begin, the entire private room on the top floor was packed. At this time, in full view of everyone, a handsome young man suddenly walked in and looked around in confusion.
Everyone looked at the young man with some strangeness. They saw that although he was dressed in extraordinary clothes and had a noble appearance, he looked like he had never seen anything in the world. He looked around blatantly and looked at everyone with curious eyes.
It seemed that he was aware of others' distaste for his rudeness. The young man had no choice but to find his own seat, but the seats were all packed. Everywhere he went, he was glared at by the monks, who began to suspect that he was a member of a wealthy family.
He just nodded indifferently and started talking to his friends, paying no attention to the young man.
Seeing that there was no empty seat after walking around, the young man had to go to the corner, and then saw the space in front of Ye Qianming. Because Ye Qianming was alone, there was only a table and a chair arranged, but if you want to find a chair, you can also
Sit in the space across the table.
Ye Qianming was wary when he saw the young man approaching, but he still looked at him with a bright smile.
"Fellow Taoist, can you give me this empty space?"
Ye Qianming was not shy and just said "please".
The young man was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly pulled out a chair from the Najie and sat down safely. Then he smiled and saluted Ye Qianming: "My lord, Yang Wei, thank you so much for your kindness. Do you dare to ask me your name?"
Ye Qianming looked at his chair. Although it was simple in style, it was made of high-grade wood that he had never seen before. It was not ordinary. It must have been a young master from some family who had just entered the world.
But Ye Qianming doesn't have any prejudice against the children of the family. He has a good relationship with the Yu family brothers and sisters. As long as the other person is a decent person, he will naturally welcome them warmly.
"I don't dare, my name. I, Li Lang, am just a casual cultivator, but my Taoist friend is dressed in an extraordinary way. May I ask which family he is a descendant of?"
Speaking of this, Yang Wei showed a subtle expression on his face.
"Well, it's not that I can't say it, it's just that fellow Taoists probably don't know if I say it."
Ye Qianming didn't care: "Since that's the case, I won't say any more. Fellow Taoists are also here to attend the Half-Month Meeting. It's about to start now. Why don't you see what you like?"
Yang Wei was also excited, took out his "66" brand, and said: "Of course, I have never participated in such an auction, and I also want to pick out some rare things to play with."
"You are really a young man from a rich family, he actually said it was just for fun..."
Ye Qianming chuckled, but his purpose of coming had nothing to do with the auction, so he didn't care.
After the two chatted for a while, a beautiful figure walked out of the auction booth below. Naturally, it was Mu Miao'an, the shopkeeper of Banyue Pavilion in Hexia City.
I saw Mu Miao'an being generous and speaking clearly to customers from all directions.
"Thank you for your attention and coming to our annual grand event at Banyue Pavilion in Hexia City. This auction will still be hosted by me, so I won't go into too much nonsense. Please take a look at the first lot."
After Mu Miaoan finished speaking, a maid came up from the stage and placed a wooden box. In the wooden box was a green elixir padded with a brocade handkerchief.
"The first item to be auctioned is the second-grade top elixir Qingfeng Dan refined by monk Li Xuanye, the deputy master of the North Xuan Academy. It can permanently integrate the medicinal properties and increase the monk's escape speed. It is very effective during the journey and against the enemy. Starting price
Five hundred spirit stones!"
"Five hundred spirit stones!"
"Five hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"Six hundred!"
"Seven hundred!..."
"…………"
The auction went into a frenzy at the very beginning due to the appearance of this top-grade second-grade elixir, and the price quickly climbed to nine hundred and fifty spirit stones!
Beside the stone table at the front of the top floor, a man with a shiny face exclaimed: "This Li Xuanye is really capable. He can actually refine a second-grade elixir of this level. His reputation is not in vain."
However, when he glanced to the side, he saw a pale, feminine man sitting next to him who was not interested and spoke lazily while trimming his long nails.
