[Be careful! A giant chapter of nine thousand words!]
A few days later, it was time to gather with Mei Jingshu again.
After having fun with her, Ni Kun held the beauty in his arms, caressed the beauty's delicate and cool snow jade skin like silk, and asked:
"Is my sister interested in participating in the big auction in ten days?"
Mei Jingshu hadn't recovered yet, she was lying dizzy in Ni Kun's arms, her pretty face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, as if she was drunk, and she murmured in a voice as thin as a gnat:
"The big auction... of course I want to participate. I am about to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining, so I have to go and try to see if I can get the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"The foundation-building pill is not cheap. According to the records of Jiulianxianfang's previous auctions, the most fierce competition was when an ordinary foundation-building pill sold for 13,000 spirit stones. Even when the competition was not so fierce, it was never
There is no one with less than eight thousand spirit stones. Has Sister Mei accumulated enough spirit stones?"
The Foundation Establishment Pill is a very precious thing.
Countless casual cultivators who have perfected the ninth level of Qi refining have worked hard all their lives without being able to smell a trace of the fragrance of the Foundation-Building Pill. They either die of old age or do not use the Foundation-Building Pill to attack the Foundation on their own. They try to fight to the death, but fail and die.
It can be said that it is not precious, and it is true that it is not very precious.
Everyone who is an inner disciple of a famous sect such as the Xianyin Sect can get a top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill distributed free of charge by the sect when they attack the Foundation Establishment for the first time.
The common Foundation-Building Pills that ordinary casual cultivators could only dream of were looked down upon by most disciples and regarded as "bad pills".
The huge gap in resources in the world of immortality is truly staggering.
The huge resource gap also creates an insurmountable strength gap.
The four major families of Jiulian Xianfang, who control the power of Xianfang and evade the masters, seem majestic and arrogant, but this is only because the Xianyin Sect is too lazy to pay attention to "places of exile" such as Jiulian Mountain Xianfang.
Once the Xianyin Sect is determined to take control, they can just send a true Jin elixir like Jun Yujiao and make a move, and the four major families can be wiped out.
Speaking of which...
The Xianyin Sect's inspection team was about to arrive, under the banner of investigating the death of the previous boss ten years ago. Ni Kun felt that during this period, the four major families would probably put their tail between their legs and be honest for a while.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Mei Jingshu answer his question without any concealment:
"Sister has also inherited some ancestral property. She is not willing to spend randomly on weekdays. After years of accumulation, she has accumulated enough eight thousand spirit stones... If the competition is too fierce, forget it this time and wait for the big auction next year.
yes."
Ni Kun thought for a while and did not directly give her a Xianyin Sect export version of the Foundation Establishment Pill. He only smiled and said:
"If sister is determined to get it, just ask for the price when the time comes. I will replenish the remaining spiritual stones for you..."
"Humph, who do you think your sister is?"
Mei Jingshu snorted softly and twisted in his arms:
"I have the skills to make money. I don't have enough money for the time being. I can just save it for a few more years. Why do I need to spend your spiritual stones?"
Although she has a steady style and never takes risks, she is still quite strong at heart. She believes that she is dating Ni Kun because she likes his talent and is not coveting his wealth.
If she was really greedy for wealth and honor, then when a few monks from the four major families coveted her, she would have chosen the best one and attached herself to him, living comfortably on soft rice.
Besides, Ni Kun has been with her for half a year in Xianfang, but she has never seen him doing anything for a living. He is only in the late stage of Qi refining, and his wealth has a limit. He has never had a profitable business.
a little less.
Mei Jingshu believed that she had a skill and a long-lasting money-making skill, but she was unwilling to let Ni Kun spend money.
"Sister, I misunderstood. I don't want to give away the Spiritual Stone for nothing. If I have to pay it back in the future, I have to calculate the interest."
"This... borrowing is feasible. But how to calculate the interest?"
"How about nine out and thirteen out? Well, we still have to calculate compound interest..."
"..." Mei Jingshu punched him angrily and said angrily: "I've broken your heart!"
"Haha, sister, why are you worried? The interest can be negotiated slowly...or else, without compound interest, we will only be out of the house nine times out of ten?"
"..."
After joking for a while, Ni Kun said again:
"During the auction, sister, please go with me. Sit together and I will support you."
Mei Jingshu hesitated for a while, shook her head and said:
"No. We have to enter separately."
Ni Kun asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Mei Jingshu bit her lip and whispered:
"I once offended a young member of the Han family... Because I have an ancestral trump card, he didn't dare to use force on me, but if he saw you and I walking together... I'm afraid it would be detrimental to you."
While speaking, I raised my eyes to take a peek at his face, and saw that he was frowning, with a hint of displeasure. I thought he was unhappy that I had underestimated him, so I quickly explained:
"Sister, I'm not looking down on Ni Lang. It's just that as casual cultivators, it's not easy for us to practice with peace of mind. Why bother arguing with others for a moment? We cultivators will not argue for a moment. In a hundred years, you can see him.
.”
Hearing this, Ni Kun couldn't help but laugh.
He said to himself, "I thought I was stable enough, but I didn't expect that Sister Mei, you are actually more stable than me." He immediately frowned and smiled:
"Okay, just follow my sister..."
After chatting for a while, seeing that Mei Jingshu had calmed down, Ni Kun also became interested again. He immediately used his arms and kneaded her tightly into his arms amidst her sweet cries.
…
Ten days later.
The day of the annual grand auction.
Ni Kun and Mei Jingshu went out at the same time. They stood in front of their respective courtyards and looked at each other without saying a word. Mei Jingshu turned around and went first. Ni Kun waited for her to walk dozens of steps before he put his hands behind his back and Shi Shiran.
Walk forward.
The two of them walked through most of the city and arrived at the Xianfang auction house.
There was already a crowd of people in front of the auction house gate.
Loose cultivators dressed in various colors, either in groups or alone, walked into the auction house door.
Mei Jingshu, who was walking dozens of steps in front of Ni Kun, was about to follow the crowd into the venue when a frivolous male voice suddenly sounded:
"Ha, isn't this Fairy Mei? It's been a long time since I've been masked. The fairy's aura is even better than before, and her cultivation seems to have improved as well?"
The owner of the voice was a young man dressed in purple clothes. He looked to be in his twenties, tall and lean, with pale skin. Although his temperament was a bit frivolous, his aura was not weak, and he felt like he was at the ninth level of Qi refining.
The young man in purple was accompanied by two companions.
One is wearing white clothes, and the other is wearing green clothes. They both look carefree, but they also have advanced levels of Qi refining.
The three of them swaggered over and blocked Mei Jingshu's path, blocking less than half of the entrance to the auction house.
When an irritable casual cultivator saw this, he was about to get angry and shout when he was pulled away by his companions and shouted in a low voice:
"Do you want to die? That's the young master of the Han, Zeng, and Chen families! The one in white is called Zeng Zirui, and the one in green is called Chen Sidao. They are both nephews of the heads of the two families. The one in purple is the direct grandson of the ancestor of the Han family, Han Wei! What a shame!
If you kill them, you don’t even know how you died!”
After learning the identities of the three young masters, especially the young man in purple, no matter how irritable the casual cultivator was, he had no choice but to stop his activities, bypass the three men, and enter the auction house from the side.
Mei Jingshu had a pretty face and did not answer. She also wanted to go around, but the young man in purple, Han Wei, moved sideways and blocked her again. He took out a folding fan from somewhere and unfolded it with a swish.
Huahua fanned twice and said with a smile:
"Fairy Mei, when you were at the ninth level of Qi refining, I was still at the seventh level. Now I have been at the ninth level, but you are still at the ninth level... Tsk, tsk, why are you doing this?
?If you had followed my master's wishes and joined my Han family as a concubine, and had the resources of my Han family to support you, you wouldn't be able to reach the ninth level and even successfully build the foundation now, right?"
As he spoke, he looked up and down at Mei Jingshu unscrupulously, his eyes lingering on her slender neck, plump breasts, slender waist and plump buttocks, his eyes filled with undisguised lust and lust.
Next to them, Zeng Zirui in white clothes and Chen Sidao in green clothes also looked at Mei Jingshu wantonly. Zeng Zirui even shouted:
"Wei Ge is so unloyal! We brothers share the joys and sorrows, how can you think of eating alone?"
Chen Sidao chuckled and agreed:
"That's right. Not long ago, that Fairy Shu, we brothers were advancing and retreating together, and it was very pleasant. Fairy Mei's beauty and charm are three points better than Fairy Shu's. How can Viagra have such a beauty to herself? No, it has to be like Shu.
You can't do that to a fairy!"
Fairy Shu?
When the casual cultivators passing by heard this, their expressions changed.
Rumor has it that several young men from the four major families met a beautiful female nun when they were traveling together. In order to prevent the brothers from quarreling and ruining their friendship, they simply killed the female nun and made a corpse doll...
Could it be that the "Fairy Shu" mentioned by Chen Sidao is the female cultivator who was harmed?
Thinking of this, the casual cultivators around looked at Mei Jingshu with a hint of pity unconsciously.
After Mei Jingshu made a small fortune on her own initiative, she has been staying at her residence for the past three months to practice meditation. Today is the first time she went out, but she didn't know about the rumors.
But she could still hear the malice in the young man's words.
At that moment, her pretty face turned cold and she didn't say anything. She just reached out and touched the storage bag at her waist. Between her long and slender index and middle fingers, she instantly clamped a jade talisman that was three inches long and one inch wide.
Seeing the jade talisman with its blazing light and chill, the expressions of Han Wei and the others changed slightly.
Mei Jingshu still didn't speak, as if saying a word to them would taint herself. She just held the magic talisman between her two fingers and stared at Han Wei and the others expressionlessly.
Han Wei looked at her for a while, sneered and said:
"Fairy Mei is still so strong-willed. Very good. I want to see how long Fairy Mei can last with this ice soul talisman!"
After that, he folded up the folding fan and entered the auction house with his two companions.
After the three people left, Mei Jingshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that her back was wet, and her clothes were wet with cold sweat - as a lonely and helpless casual cultivator, how could she be the leader of the Han family?
Being surrounded by the malicious descendants of the three clans headed by her grandson, she calmly confronted them and forced them away. This was already considered an extraordinarily tough character of hers.
But after the confrontation, she was mentally exhausted. Not only was she dripping with sweat, but her legs were a little weak. She stood there for a while and then recovered.
At this moment, she really wanted someone to rely on.
However, although she wanted to look back at Ni Kun behind her, and even threw herself into his arms for comfort, she saw several monk guards wearing the costumes of the four major families at the door of the auction house, staring at them unkindly.
Mei Jingshu herself stopped thinking about looking back.
Once she shows the slightest sign of being close to Ni Kun, and someone notices her, she will definitely run to Han Wei to gossip about her.
Han Wei had just been forced back by her, and he was suffocating in his heart.
With his narrow-mindedness and viciousness, he would take a bad breath at Ni Kun even if he couldn't help it.
Mei Jingshu didn't want to cause trouble for Ni Kun, so she endured the grievance without looking back.
He just raised his hand and pressed his chest lightly, took a deep breath, and walked silently towards the auction house.
She had no intention of just retreating.
Before the ancestral "Ice Soul Talisman" is consumed, even a casual foundation-building monk will have to be somewhat afraid of her.
Therefore, she still had to go to the auction to see if she could get the Foundation Establishment Pill.
If you can take a picture of the Foundation Building Pill and successfully build the Foundation...
When the time comes, take Ni Kun away from Jiulianxianfang and go to other Sanxianfang cities, where he can still live well.
When Mei Jingshu slowly walked into the auction house gate with an expressionless face and a straight face under the strange eyes of several gatekeeper monks.
Han Wei had a gloomy face, and, surrounded by Zeng Zirui and Chen Sidao, walked towards a private room on the second floor of the auction house.
While walking quickly, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Mei Jingshu, that little bitch, is so ungrateful! She has repeatedly rejected my good intentions! Isn't she just relying on the ice soul talisman? Once she consumes the ice soul talisman, I will capture her.
, made into a corpse puppet!"
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."
Zeng Zirui shook his head and said:
"The little bitch surnamed Mei has the skills to make talismans. She usually makes a living by selling talismans, and there is no need to go out to take risks. With her temperament, God knows when she will use up the ice soul talisman."
Chen Sidao smiled happily:
"She doesn't like going out to the market, can't we just force her out?"
Han Wei raised his eyebrows:
"Oh? How to force her out?"
Chen Sidao smiled and said:
"It's very simple. The bitch surnamed Mei can stay in the market and practice all the time because she is good at refining magic talismans. But refining magic talismans also requires materials. As long as we cut off her source of materials, she can still
What can be used to refine spells?
"Without this livelihood, she will be left destitute. She may not even be able to pay the rent for the house. Then won't she have no choice but to leave the city and go on her own adventure to obtain materials?"
Han Wei's eyes lit up and he praised:
"This is a great plan! As long as she ventures out of the market, our brothers will pool their money and hire a scapegoat to deal with her and consume her ice soul talisman. After that..."
Zeng Zirui raised his hand as if to grasp:
"She won't be able to escape from our brother's hands after that!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
As for cutting off Mei Jingshu's source of materials, it's really not difficult for them.
Based on the family backgrounds of the three of them, once they unite, at least in this Jiulianxianfang, there is an absolute guarantee that no more talisman-making materials will flow into Mei Jingshu's hands.
When the three of them were laughing proudly, a curious male voice suddenly came from behind:
"Three little friends, what makes you so happy? Why don't you tell me so that I can be happy too?"
The laughter of the three people stopped suddenly, and they suddenly turned around and saw an almost monstrous handsome young man in a blood-colored robe appearing behind them. He was looking at them with his hands behind his back and a gentle expression on his face.
What shocked the three of them was that the blood-robed young man was already within five steps of them, but they didn't notice his presence at all before he spoke!
What does this mean?
It shows that the cultivation level of this blood-clothed young man can crush the three of them. He is at least a major foundation-building cultivator!
Of course, even if it was foundation building, the family backgrounds of the three of them would not be too worrying.
But the problem is, although the smile of the young man in blood is gentle and elegant, his red eyes clearly reveal a trace of undisguised madness and cruelty that wants to choose and devour anyone.
Staring at his red-blooded eyes, Han Wei and the others felt as if they were being stared at by some kind of natural enemy. They felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave. From head to toe, from skin to bones, they all seemed to be frozen by a terrifying cold air.
My heart seemed to be grabbed by a big invisible hand, and my heartbeat couldn't help but skip a beat!
Under the great fear, Han Wei and the others had long forgotten their family backgrounds. They were sweating like rain on their foreheads, their whole bodies were shaking like chaff, their teeth were chattering, they could not speak, and they no longer looked proud and arrogant.
The young man in blood-clothed clothes had a smile on his lips, looked at the three of them up and down, and said softly:
"Are you so scared that you can't even say a word? You killed people and turned them into corpse puppets to play with. I thought you were ruthless characters, but I didn't expect you to be so weak-minded...
"It seems that the four major families who have grown up from a young age and have cultivated trash like you are not much better. Fortunately, I have always attached great importance to it before. Now that I think about it, I am too steady..."
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and waved it gently. When the blood sleeve was waving, the entire right arm turned into a river of scarlet blood, sucking Han Wei and the others into it. Within a few breaths, they were turned into blood.
Three empty human skins were left, floating on the ground along with their clothes.
After putting away the three-person storage bag, the young man in blood-clothed body vertically turned into a thin and dim three-foot blood line, sticking to the corner of the aisle and quickly flying away.
After a while.
In the corridor, a cry of surprise suddenly sounded, but someone discovered the human skins of Han Wei and the others.
…
Inside the auction house, in a meeting hall.
Han Chen, the ancestor of the Han family, sat at the head of the table, smoking a dry cigarette.
Two middle-aged men dressed in purple robes, with square faces and 70% to 80% similar looks, were standing by his side, one on the left and the other on the right.
In addition to the three foundation builders of the Han family, there are also the three heads of the Zeng, Chen and Cao families, the foundation builder elders, and several Qi Refining Realm juniors in the hall.
There were no less than twenty people in the hall.
But so many people were silent at this time.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the three empty human skins on the ground in the hall.
After being silent for a while, the ancestor of the Han family gently knocked on his pipe and said slowly:
"Tell me, who could have done this kind of murder?"
Everyone looked at each other for a while and shook their heads.
There are endless cruel killing methods in the world of immortality, and there are also many methods of skinning.
But with their knowledge, they really couldn't tell how those three human skins were peeled off, and they were so clean that they didn't contain any trace of blood, resentment, or death.
It's as if they were born with just three human skins, and there was no trace of flesh and bone under the human skin.
After another long silence, Cao Zhen, the head of the Cao family, suddenly spoke:
"There were no traces of fighting at the scene, and the defensive array at the auction house was not even touched, which means that the three juniors, Han Wei, Zeng Zirui, and Chen Sidao, were all killed at the same time in an instant, leaving only their human skins.
"The person who took action was at least a foundation-building practitioner. He was an old demon with extremely sharp methods, extremely precise attacks, and an extremely good control of magic. But forgive my shallow knowledge, I haven't heard of anyone in Chihuang Kingdom.
The old devil has such sharp and precise methods."
There were no children of the Cao family among the deceased, so Cao Zhen could speculate without any burden.
"There has never been such a foundation-building old demon in Jiulian Immortal Square before." Chen Zhenyue, the head of the Chen family whose nephew died, frowned and said, "Could it be a new demon cultivator who came from the Xuangang Main Continent?"
Compared with Nanhai, where the Xianyin Sect is the only one, there are six major demonic sects, four major righteous sects, countless small and medium sects, immortal cultivating families, and the Xuangang Main Continent with countless ordinary casual cultivators.
, full of talents.
Many guys who can't make it in the mainland like to go to the South China Sea, and those people are basically desperadoes, all of them are ruthless and unscrupulous.
Not to mention the children of the four major families, even the inner disciples of the Xianyin Sect, such as the previous head of the workshop, they dared to set up an ambush and kill them.
"No matter where the murderer comes from, killing people at the auction house is a provocation to our four major families!"
Zeng Yangxing, the head of the Zeng family who also lost his nephew, said coldly.
"Seal the auction venue immediately and find the murderer!"
The middle-aged man in purple on the left side of the ancestor of the Han family gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"The murderer could obviously take away the human skin and clothes, create the illusion that Han Wei and the others were missing, and delay our discovery of the murder, but he chose to leave them at the scene...
"This is clearly a deliberate demonstration against us! This is a slap in the face of our four major families! The murderer must be found out as soon as possible and his skin and bones must be removed to rectify the majesty of our four major families of Jiulian Xianfang!"
This man is none other than Han Chengfa, the eldest son of the ancestor of the Han family and the father of Han Wei.
Although he usually didn't like Han Wei's incompetent son very much, but when he killed his son at the auction venue in Xianfang, the murderer clearly didn't take their four major families seriously.
If the murderer is not found out and skinned and bones removed, the dignity of the four families will surely be lost.
"Which murderer will stay where he is after killing someone?" Cao Zhen said calmly with an expressionless face: "It has been so long, and the murderer may have escaped from the auction venue or even Jiulianxianfang."
"Then this is the end of the matter?" the head of the Zeng family said sadly: "Among those who dare to die in love, if you are not a descendant of the Cao family, you will be indifferent, right? Don't forget, the four major families are connected by the same spirit.
, if we lose face, your Cao family will also lose face."
The head of the Chen family nodded:
"Yes, fellow Taoist Cao, your Cao family cannot stay out of this matter."
Cao Zhen said coldly:
"I will not stay out of it. However, Master Zhao will also come to participate in the auction today. It may not be appropriate if the venue is blocked and the annual auction is affected."
The head of the Chen family sneered:
"Zhao Fangzhu? Who is she..."
"At the latest three months, the inspection envoy of Shang Zong will arrive." Cao Zhen looked at the head of the Chen family coldly: "Are you sure you want to make Master Zhao unhappy before the inspection envoy arrives? Don't forget, the inspection envoy of Shang Zong will come this time.
The name is to investigate the death of the previous boss!"
The head of the Chen family suddenly dropped his face and stopped talking.
Cao Zhen said that he would stay with the head of the Chen family, and then looked at Han Chen:
"Mr. Han, what do you say?"
Han Chen bit his pipe, took two puffs, and said slowly:
"It is very possible that the murderer has escaped. It is really not appropriate to affect the annual auction for three incompetent juniors. The auction will continue as usual.
"Of course, even if the murderer has escaped, we still have to investigate. That unknown Taoist friend deliberately left human skin and clothes behind, and openly slapped us in the face. It would be too much for us not to give him any reaction.
It’s unreasonable.”
He looked down at a young man in black who was in the late stage of Qi refining and said calmly:
"Han Zhong, please take someone to make a secret investigation to see what strange foundation builders have been in Jiulian Immortal Square recently. Then secretly check who Han Wei and the other three have killed and bullied recently. Remember.
Now, we have to investigate secretly and don't make a big announcement. After you find out, don't act rashly. Just report the list."
"I obey my ancestor's instructions!" The young man in black bowed his hands and went down to do his work.
The ancestor of the Han family said calmly:
"A gag order is issued. Until the murderer is found and captured, the killings of Han Wei and the others are not allowed to be spread or discussed. Violators will be severely punished. That fellow Taoist wants to slap us in the face and break the reputation of our four major families.
Majesty, we can't really follow his wishes."
The two heads of the family, Zeng and Chen, nodded repeatedly, and the head of the Cao family also nodded slightly in agreement——
Even if the murderer cannot be found or arrested in the end, as long as the news is tightly sealed and the murder of Han Wei and the others is not spread, won't the slap in the face disappear?
The majesty of the four major families will not be compromised in the slightest.
After making arrangements, the ancestor of the Han family waved his hand again:
"Let's all disperse and get down to business. Master Zhao is about to arrive. The Shangzong's inspection envoy is about to arrive. At this juncture, we cannot neglect Mr. Master Zhao."
…
Mei Jingshu came to the auction hall, found a seat in the corner and sat down, then pretended to look around casually, looking for Ni Kun.
But after looking for a while, I didn't see him. Just when I was wondering, a familiar male voice suddenly sounded from behind me:
"Is sister looking for me?"
Mei Jingshu was slightly frightened, raised her hand and patted her trembling chest, and said angrily:
"Leng Buding said something to scare people to death? Also, didn't I tell you not to get too close to me?"
Ni Kun chuckled:
"It doesn't matter. There are so many monks in the lobby, and there are people sitting in front, back, left, and right of my sister. There are only one more than me."
Mei Jingshu thought about it. She was indeed too cautious. There were people around her, so as long as she was not too close to Ni Kun, who could know his relationship with her?
Now he felt relieved and asked a little strangely:
"When did you come in? Why didn't I see you just now?"
"I'm particularly good at sneaking. When I'm sneaking, not to mention you, Sister Mei, you may not be able to find me even if I'm doing foundation building and overhauling."
"Bullshit..."
After chatting for a while, Mei Jingshu couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved and uncomfortable when she saw that Ni Kun never mentioned that she was surrounded by Han Wei and three others - Ni Kun was dozens of steps behind her at the time, and when Han Wei and three men surrounded her, he
I must have seen it.
But until now, he has neither mentioned it nor comforted himself...
Mei Jingshu felt sad for a while, then thought again, knowing that she was being targeted by Han Wei, he still dared to touch the seat in the back row of her. This performance was already very good and very responsible.
Ni Kun was just a casual cultivator, helpless, and unlike himself, he had such a powerful trump card as the "Ice Soul Talisman" passed down from his ancestors, so how could he be too harsh on him?
Thinking of this, Mei Jingshu gradually calmed down.
At this time, the lobby was almost full, and on the auction stage in front, a foundation-building monk also walked up, and the annual auction officially began.
The annual grand auction is indeed extraordinary. The first lot at the opening is a good item.
"Fellow Taoists, a few months ago, everyone must have heard about the Dulongling Golden Elixir Secret Realm. Regarding the production of the Golden Elixir Secret Realm, fellow Taoists who missed exploring the Golden Elixir Secret Realm must also be very curious. Today, everyone is here
Fortunately, the first auction item today is the treasure from the Golden Elixir Secret Realm, the Ice Mysterious Pearl!"
The foundation-building monk who presided over the auction waved his hand, and a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi refining walked onto the auction stage holding a tray.
The foundation-building monk made seals and cast spells. A projection suddenly appeared on the auction stage, magnifying the details of the chicken-sized, round pearl in the jade tray, with the faint sight of falling snowflakes visible inside.
Show it to everyone in the room.
"Fellow Taoists, please see, this Ice Mysterious Pearl is a top-quality magic weapon. It has the power to turn frozen iron into chips and frozen stone into powder. It can also bless the monks with a pair of 'Xuanbing Armor', which can resist the refining of Qi."
Several ninth-level spells, and one strike from the most lethal high-grade flying sword weapon!
"In addition, the most critical growth characteristics of the best magic weapons are also well known, so I won't go into details below. Okay, let's start bidding now, with a starting price of five thousand spirit stones! Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit stones.
, fellow Taoists can bid!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk immediately called out the price in the lobby:
"Five thousand one hundred spirit stones!"
"Five thousand two!"
"Five thousand three!"
"I will pay five thousand five thousand..."
The bids came one after another, and soon, this top-quality magic weapon was priced at six thousand spiritual stones.
Ni Kun had no interest in this magical weapon.
He practices wood-based exercises, and the Ice Xuanzhu is most suitable for ice-based exercises. The second is water-based exercises, and the third is wind-based exercises. Anyway, there is no tacit understanding with him, and he cannot build the foundation.
At that time, it was promoted to a spiritual weapon.
However, Mei Jingshu seems to be practicing ice-based techniques...
After pondering for a while, Ni Kun still didn't bid - he has a medium-grade spiritual weapon "Xuanbing Sword". Isn't this ready-made ice spiritual weapon much better than a top-grade magic weapon?
After all, although the best magical weapons can grow, there is no guarantee that they will grow into spiritual weapons 100%.
If when building the foundation, you fail to bring the best magic weapon and upgrade it to a spiritual weapon, then the investment will be in vain.
Ni Kun did not participate in the bidding. Although Mei Jingshu looked at the Ice Mysterious Pearl with longing and fondness, she never made a bid in order to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Finally, this Ice Mysterious Bead produced in the Golden Core Secret Realm was sold to a Qi Refining Realm monk sitting in the lobby, wrapped in a black robe, wearing an ice mask, and exuding a bit of cold air, for six thousand
Get three hundred spirit stones.
The secret treasure "Ice Mysterious Pearl" got off to a good start, and the atmosphere of the auction was immediately heated up. Then various treasures appeared in turn, including magic weapons, spiritual weapons, elixirs, materials, puppets, jade slips of martial arts, etc.
There are all kinds of natural materials and earthly treasures that slightly increase the probability of foundation building by 50% to 10%.
Ni Kun watched the whole process and never called the price once. The same was true for Mei Jingshu.
However, Ni Kun heard Zhao Xiulin's voice coming from the best private room on the second floor several times.
Zhao Yaonv also came to the auction venue and participated in the bidding. She bought three bottles of Jade Pill and a portion of fifty Bizhen Spirit Fruits, obviously all for Ni Kun.
What's annoying is that most of the Bizhen Spirit Fruit was produced in the master's house. It was probably produced last season. It was stolen by the servants of the master's house and is now being auctioned...
When the auction came to an end, the final treasure was, as expected, the Foundation Establishment Pill.
The host of the auction did not say how many Foundation Establishment Pills there will be this year.
Anyway, no matter how many there are, they will only be auctioned one by one to squeeze out as much money as possible from those who need them.
When the first Foundation Establishment Pill appeared, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became boiling.
Not only the casual cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm were greatly excited, but even some of the foundation-building casual cultivators were also moved.
Foundation-building casual cultivators do not need Foundation-building pills.
But if there are relatives or Taoist companions who have also entered the path of cultivating immortals, they will also have to compete with each other.
Almost the whole place was shocked. The first Foundation Establishment Pill was quickly called for eight thousand spirit stones.
In the end, there was only one foundation-building major cultivator left, competing with two Qi-refining casual cultivators, and finally the deal was settled for eleven thousand spirit stones, which fell into the hands of the foundation-building major cultivator.
Mei Jingshu also participated in the bidding.
However, when the price reached 8,000 spirit stones, even though Ni Kun sent a message behind her back and told her to bid, she decisively stopped bidding and comforted Ni Kun:
"There's no rush. The first round of competition is often the most intense, because no one knows how many Foundation Establishment Pills there will be. Maybe there will be just one Foundation Establishment Pill this year?
"But if a second Foundation Establishment Pill really appears, then the second round of bidding will be much more relaxed, and some people will wonder, since there is a second one, will there be a third one? In this way,
, I have a chance.”
Then when the host released the second Foundation Establishment Pill, the bidding atmosphere was indeed much more relaxed than the first one.
Despite this, the second Foundation Establishment Pill still fetched a high price of nine thousand eight hundred spirit stones. Mei Jingshu still rejected Ni Kun's support and did not bid until the end.
When the third Foundation Establishment Pill appeared, the bidding suddenly became extremely fierce. All Qi Refining Cultivators who were interested in Foundation Establishment felt that this was probably the last Foundation Establishment Pill this year. If you miss it today, you will have to wait until next year.
.
But what the competitive situation will be like next year, only God knows...
Year after year, year after year passes, and the older you get, the less likely you are to build a foundation.
Therefore, the competition for the third Foundation Establishment Pill was extremely fierce, and in the end, it reached 12,000 spiritual stones.
Obviously, Mei Jingshu gave up bidding again.
Facing Ni Kun's inquiry, she still had sufficient reasons to explain:
"I have not yet completed the ninth level of Qi refining, so there is no need to be so anxious...Besides, the Foundation Establishment Pill can only increase the success rate of two or three levels of Foundation Establishment. How many monks have spent all their money to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, but the result is still a failure...
Anyway, I am still young and still have time. I will wait for the ninth level to be completed and polish it for a few more years. When the foundation is solid, I will then consider building the foundation."
There is another important reason that she did not say out loud:
She offended Han Wei and the others, and the three of them should be in the auction hall at this time, sitting in the box on the second floor and watching from a high position.
If she used Ni Kun's spirit stone to take a picture of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Han Wei and the others would see it, and they might use some evil methods to target her, suppress her, and even implicate Ni Kun.
Therefore, she gave up on this year's Foundation Establishment Pill.
At worst, wait a few more years.
In that case, the foundation can be more solid, and the spiritual stones accumulated by oneself can be more.
