Yun Ling stopped shopping and walked towards the Xingyun Tea House in the center of the island.
On the way, they met Luo Ninghuan and Baili Xiaoran who were returning home with a full load, and the three of them walked together.
Luo Ning said happily that the water beast materials here were very cheap. She bought a lot of them and asked Senior Brother Yue Wuchen to refine the magic weapon when she got back.
When the three of them arrived at Xingyun Tea House, Zhao Liang was already waiting in front of the building.
After he came up to us, he lowered his voice and said: "It's your first time here, follow me. Don't speak for a while, so as not to be recognized during the auction."
After saying this, he led Yun Ling and others to the teahouse.
At this time, there were many monks in front of the teahouse waiting to enter.
Zhao Liang explained to them softly: "When you enter, you will be introduced to a separate private room. If you are one person, you will have a room to yourself. If you are coming with several friends, you can also choose to use only one room."
When it was the turn of the four of them, a reception boy in the Qi Refining Period came forward and asked: "How many of you are here to attend the Half Moon Party? But there is only one private room?"
When Zhao Liang nodded, he took out an iron talisman and four black iron masks from his storage bag.
He handed them to Zhao Liang and said: "Five hundred spiritual stones. Just come in and there will be a guide to take you there."
Zhao Liang paid the spirit stone and led Yun Ling and the others through the gate. Instead of going up the stairs, he turned right into a remote passage.
There were several monks standing at the entrance of the passage. One of them stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards Zhao Liang: "Please show me the Yajian Iron Talisman, fellow Taoist."
Zhao Liang held the iron talisman in the palm of his hand, blocked the sight of other monks with his body, and gave him a quick look.
The man nodded clearly and led them through the passage and into the private room numbered Hua Thirteen.
"This is the rule for participating in the half-month meeting. We don't go up the main door and stairs and enter the private room quietly. When the auction starts, we put on masks. This way, others don't know who is bidding in the private room.
When we are about to go out, we will change our clothes and go back to the boat directly, so that everything will be safe," Zhao Liang explained.
This is also to guard against those who fail to take pictures of what they want and want to kill people and steal goods.
This elegant room called Hua Shisan is quite elegant.
The tables, chairs, closets and screens are all decorated with wisteria patterns. Even the teacups and utensils on the table are decorated with wisteria flowers. Especially at the window case, there is a huge wisteria flower embossed in relief, and the leaves are connected to the window sill.
The window stays are very delicate.
A few people drank the spiritual tea provided by Xingyun Teahouse, while waiting for the arrival of the Youshi hour.
When the Youshi hour arrived and everyone put on their iron masks, Zhao Liang opened the window lightly.
In the center of the teahouse hall, a round platform has been built, and a long table is placed on the round platform.
There was a female cultivator in the late stage of foundation building wearing a crimson dress, and she flew gracefully to the round platform.
She said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, you have been waiting for a long time. I will host the half-month meeting today. I hope you will support me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, many windows that were originally closed opened.
"I didn't expect that today's host would be Fairy Hongni. It seems she has a rare treasure."
There was a lot of discussion around.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you know why they say that when Fairy Hongni comes, there will be treasure?" Luo Ninghuan asked.
"I don't know much about this. I have participated in the auction several times before, and other monks presided over the auction. This is also the first time I have met Fairy Hongni, and I have only heard some rumors about her." Zhao Liang replied.
"Everyone must also know that Tianhai Pavilion unites the outer sea and is divided into twelve islands to govern. This Fairy Hongni is the eldest disciple of the current Nebula Island Master. She is deeply loved by the island master Xu Qinghai and manages many of the island's general affairs.
She is the one who co-manages this Xingyun Tea House. It is said that whenever there are special treasures being auctioned, she will personally host them. I don’t know the rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fairy Hongni took out an aqua-blue sword from her storage bag and began to explain.
"Everyone, this first auction item is a sword-shaped magic weapon. The consignor is the weapon refiner of our Tianhai Pavilion. He calls this sword the Zhanshui Sword, and it is made of the fourth-level monster, Sea Spirit Leopard.
It was based on the backbone, supplemented by half a tael of sea blue essence, and was smelted diligently for three months. The starting price is 30,000 spirit stones."
After saying that, she held up the long sword with her hand and waved it in the air.
The sword has a sharp light and is really a good sword.
The backbone of this fourth-level monster is not difficult to find, but this sea blue spirit is rare.
It only appears in places where the water spirit energy is the strongest. A small piece is worth a lot of money. Adding half a tael to refine this sword is considered a big deal.
Unexpectedly, the appetizers at this auction were so extraordinary, and Yun Ling became curious about the items to be auctioned next.
"Thirty-five thousand spirit stones."
"Thirty-six thousand spiritual stones."
From time to time, monks shouted out the price, and the shouting stopped until one monk shouted out the price of 50,000 spiritual stones.
Fifty thousand spiritual stones is actually far more than the price in the market. Generally, swords like this only cost more than 40,000 and three to five thousand spiritual stones are about the same.
It is also the Hongni Fairy who can set the rhythm and lift the atmosphere of the entire auction with just a few words.
Even Luo Ninghuan casually called out a price of 40,000 spirit stones during the auction.
However, she also has a Flowing Water Sword given by Uncle Ming Shuang, which is a bit better than this Zhan Shui Sword, but it is just for fun.
"Fellow Taoist Hua Sanya has given me 50,000 spiritual stones. Is there anything higher?"
Fairy Hongni asked three times in a row, but she still offered a higher price.
"Okay! This Zhan Shui Sword belongs to fellow Taoist Hua Sanyajian!"
After she finished speaking, a monk took away the Zhan Shui Sword and sent it to the Hua Sanya Room.
Once the person inside pays the spirit stone, the transaction will be completed.
The second auction item that followed was a spiritual plant, with green leaves, dots of white flowers, and a strong fragrance.
This is a 300-year-old fragrant grass. If we find other spiritual plants of the same age, we can make a beauty elixir with nearly 200-year-old efficacy.
Yun Ling originally wanted to compete, but unfortunately the competition was too fierce.
Several female cultivators refused to raise the price like spiritual stones, until a fairy offered a price of 80,000 spiritual stones and finally won it.
This fragrant grass is actually not uncommon, but this one is very old, it is three hundred years old.
If it could be found in Xuanlingfang, it would usually only cost more than 50,000 spirit stones.
As expected, women are reckless when fighting over things.
However, it was time for me and my senior sister to prepare the beauty elixir.
Nowadays, they are still young and have the blessing of cultivation, so naturally they will not age like ordinary people. But it will not necessarily happen in a hundred years. Although they will not have gray hair or the like, their skin will always change.
But who doesn’t want to stay young forever, and so does she.
Yun Ling thought secretly.
The four of them did not pay attention to the subsequent auctions.
