As time slowly passed, treasures gradually surfaced.
Every treasure was auctioned at a price higher than the market price, and not even a single treasure failed to be auctioned.
Of course, there are also some treasures that Cheng Buqing is excited about.
Since he was short of money, he could only watch helplessly as others took him down.
During the auction.
From time to time, a monk would burst out with majestic spiritual pressure.
It's just a fleeting moment, and they don't dare to violate the rules of the dark market. It's okay once, but if it keeps happening, I'm afraid the monks in the dark market will take action.
for.
The Dark Market ignored the Foundation-Building monk who only unleashed coercion once, but the second time, the monk behind the stone door would intimidate the Foundation-Building monk.
And many monks in the foundation building stage seemed to silently agree with this unspoken rule.
Saw this scene.
Cheng Buzheng sighed inwardly:
"Sure enough, no matter where they are, high-level monks have privileges!" In his observation, only one Foundation Establishment Stage monk broke out two consecutive pressures, while the remaining Foundation Establishment Stage monks only broke out once.
"That foundation-building monk may be coming to this auction for the first time!"
Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
Not long after.
This auction is almost coming to an end, and the finale treasure is about to be on stage.
On the high platform, the seductive female cultivator smiled and said:
"The next is the first final treasure, please take a look!"
On the high platform, the stone door on the side suddenly opened, and two strong men wearing kid masks were carrying a red cloth to cover a huge square object.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng was also quite curious as to what kind of treasure this was.
But he knew that it was definitely not a magic weapon, treasure weapon, elixir or other treasure.
"Maybe it's a cub of a monster."
Cheng Buzheng guessed in his mind.
In this regard, many monks present were also curious and looked at the square object.
On the high platform, the graceful female cultivator saw that the atmosphere at the scene had become intense again, and then she slowly said:
"Next, the little girl will reveal the true identity of this treasure to everyone!"
The red cloth was torn apart, and what came into view was an iron cage made of spiritual iron, inside which sat a very beautiful female cultivator.
At this time, the female cultivator's eyes were slightly closed, her face was pale, and a spiritual talisman with extremely strong aura was sealed on her delicate body.
Cheng Buzheng also sensed that the female cultivator was emitting spiritual pressure.
But in his heart, he was horrified.
This woman is a foundation-building monk.
The talisman that can seal off the foundation-building monks must be at least the second-level talisman, and the general second-level talisman does not have much effect.
At this time, Cheng Buzheng noticed that each iron pillar in the iron cage made of unknown spiritual iron had faintly flickering textures. He vaguely felt that this iron cage was also a treasure.
This shows how powerful the dark market’s methods are.
You know, it is normal to defeat enemy cultivators or even kill them.
But it is definitely not a simple matter to capture the enemy cultivator alive. Either someone close to you must use secret means, or there is an insurmountable gap in the opponent's strength to capture the opponent.
Even ordinary methods, such as using medicine and sneak attacks... will not have any effect on the monks in the foundation building stage.
As soon as the slightest hint of hostility is revealed, the powerful spiritual sense of the foundation-building monks will cause alarm.
Therefore, it is absolutely difficult to capture the foundation building stage alive.
Even late-stage Foundation Establishment monks cannot capture early-stage Foundation Establishment monks. Perhaps only monks at the Golden Core stage and above can easily capture Foundation Establishment stage monks.
Cheng Buzheng looked at the foundation-building female cultivator sitting cross-legged in the iron cage, but he felt that she looked a little familiar.
immediately.
Cheng Buzheng went through all the memories he had of meeting female cultivators.
Lean less.
A picture of dancing gracefully appeared in Cheng Buzheng's mind. It was the Qingwu Fairy who once lived in the prayer garden.
Therefore, Fairy Shi Qingwu's expression changed slightly compared to before, so Cheng Buzheng did not recognize her at first sight.
Otherwise, with the monk's extremely perverted memory, he would not need to recall it specifically.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng frowned, but didn't make any move.
Seeing some familiar monks being auctioned off, he just felt a little unhappy, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"This is the tragedy of casual cultivators!"
Cheng Buzheng thought to himself.
Even the dark market in Demon Fire City only dares to auction off casual cultivators without any sect.
Even the Qi-training period disciples of major sects would not dare to openly auction off the monks of major sects, even if they gave the masters of the secret market the courage to do so.
It can be seen that the status of casual cultivators in the world of immortality is low. Even if they take a risk and successfully advance to the foundation building stage, it may be a tragedy.
This is the real world of cultivating immortals.
In the blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind.
Immediately.
On the high platform, the female cultivator standing in front of the long table spoke again:
"I believe some fellow Taoists have already seen this woman's cultivation!"
"Yes, this woman is a foundation-building monk."
"For the monk who successfully bids in the end, we will give him a copy of the Secret Technique of Dual Cultivation."
Then, the charming auctioneer took out a token and said:
"This token is the soul token that controls this woman."
"Once the money and goods are cleared, we will not be responsible!"
"The base price is five thousand spirit stones."
Among the foundation-building monks who had been waiting for a long time and looked eagerly, one of the monks wearing a hood quickly said:
"Five thousand five hundred and thirty spiritual stones."
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect the monk's price to be accurate. It looked like he had quoted his entire net worth.
Immediately, the price continued to rise.
"Fifty-six hundred spiritual stones."
"Five thousand eight..."
"Six thousand..."
·····
Not long after, the price broke through the 6,000 mark.
See this.
Only then did Cheng Buzheng realize how rich a foundation-building monk was, not counting treasures, spiritual materials and other treasures, but just spiritual stones.
Almost all the foundation-building monks present offered a price.
After some competition.
At this time, there were only three foundation-building monks still quoting.
"I'll give you fifteen thousand spiritual stones, plus three high-grade magic weapons!"
A thin man wearing a metal mask stood up and said hoarsely:
"If the price offered by the two of you is higher than the one below, I will give up!"
After saying that, the monk wearing a metal mask turned his attention to the two monks who had been bidding with him.
Immediately, the monk wearing a metal mask sat down directly, then closed his eyes and said nothing.
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng also followed everyone's gaze and looked at the two monks. One of them was not far to his right front.
And another monk is in the front row.
When Cheng Buzheng saw the two of them, he looked at the monk in the metal mask thoughtfully and did not continue to bid.
Three seconds later.
The metal-masked monk walked to the high platform and completed the handover with the charming female nun.
The female cultivator in the cage was directly put into the spirit beast bag by the man in the metal mask.
This is also another function of the spirit beast bag. Unfortunately, monks cannot stay in the spirit beast bag all year round. They can only stay in the spirit beast bag for ten days and a half at most.
Moreover, any life form that is taken in must not have any sense of resistance, otherwise it cannot be taken into the spirit beast bag.
immediately.
The man in the metal mask swaggered back to his seat and calmly continued to participate in the auction.
After the fierce competition just now, the atmosphere at this time has been completely aroused.
Next are several low-grade and medium-grade treasures.
On the high platform, the female cultivator with a curvy figure spoke again after seeing the man in the metal mask sitting down:
"Next, is the last auction item in this auction, the ultimate treasure, the Divine Moon Ring."
"The Divine Moon Ring is made from moon crystal as the main spiritual mineral, supplemented by many spiritual materials."
"The main spiritual mine moon crystal is not only a spiritual material for refining magic weapons, but it is also a rare treasure among third-level spiritual mines."
"The treasure weapon refined from this spiritual material not only has extremely powerful power, but its defensive capabilities are among the best treasure weapons, and there are only a handful of treasure weapons that can compete with them."
"Owning this multi-purpose, top-quality treasure is equivalent to owning two top-quality treasures at the same time."
"Among the best treasures, the Divine Moon Ring is also a rare treasure."
"After the Nu family's explanation, I believe that all the monks should also know how precious this treasure is."
Immediately.
On the high platform, a female cultivator wearing a Rakshasa mask placed the sacred moon ring on the long table and showed it to the monks present.
After the explanation given by the female cultivator wearing a Rakshasa mask, many of the foundation-building monks present became even more excited.
Especially, when they saw the Divine Moon Ring placed on the table, several foundation-building monks couldn't help but stand up from their seats and looked at the Divine Moon Ring with enthusiasm.
See this.
Cheng Buzheng was also very passionate. Although he also wanted to have it, he knew that he was poor and did not have the spiritual stone to compete for the ownership of the Deer God Moon Ring.
He could only watch helplessly as those wealthy Foundation Stage monks chased the Divine Moon Ring in front of him.
On the high platform, the female cultivator wearing a Rakshasa mask spoke directly without any further delay:
"This top-notch treasure, the Divine Moon Ring, has a minimum auction price of nine thousand five hundred spiritual stones."
Many Foundation Establishment monks immediately made impatient bids after hearing the auction's lowest price.
"I'll give you nine thousand six hundred spiritual stones..."
"I will give you nine thousand eight spiritual stones..."
"I will pay ten thousand..."
·····
In the blink of an eye, the price exceeded 10,000 spiritual stones.
This scene.
It also allowed Cheng Buzheng to see what it means to be rich and what it means to be poor!
At the same time, I gained a clear understanding of my own poverty.
Moreover, Cheng Buzheng discovered that most of the monks who bid were late-stage foundation-building monks, and a few were mid-stage foundation-building monks.
He also knew that after the auction ended, there would definitely be a fight between dragons and tigers. At this time, this top-notch treasure would not finally belong to it.
Lean less.
"I'll give you 12,000 spiritual stones!"
A monk wearing a jade mask shouted out a jaw-droppingly high price.
Cheng Buzheng looked over there and sensed it carefully. He was sure that this person was also a master of late-stage foundation building.
Upon hearing such a high price, many monks present fell silent. Then they glanced at the monk and stopped bidding.
Immediately, the monk wearing jade came directly to the high platform to complete the transaction.
After the transaction is completed.
On the high platform, the female cultivator wearing a Rakshasa mask said crisply:
"Thank you fellow Taoists and seniors for your love for this auction. This auction has officially ended."
"Next, there will be a song and dance. Daoists who are interested can continue to watch."
"There is still an hour before the dark market closes today. You can continue to set up stalls and trade, or you can leave freely!"
"Little lady, I won't disturb everyone's enjoyment. I look forward to seeing you next time."
After saying that, the female cultivator wearing a Rakshasa mask bowed deeply, walked directly to the stone door on one side, and then disappeared on the high platform.
Just when the auctioneer announced that the auction was over, several monks almost moved and walked out, including the monk wearing a metal mask and the monk wearing a jade mask.
But behind them, there are a few more little tails.
Among them, the monk wearing a jade mask had the most tails following him. Almost most of the late-stage foundation-building monks present followed that monk.
At the same time, Cheng Buzheng also stood up and walked out.
Following his movements, two monks who were in the early stages of foundation building also stood up.
See this.
And those late-stage Qi-training monks who had just stood up sat down again.
Cheng Buzheng showed no expression at all, as if he didn't notice it.
After leaving the dark market, Cheng Buzheng kept walking through the alleys, changing his appearance from time to time. After many twists and turns, he finally came out of the Demon Fire City.
Ten miles away from Demon Fire City.
A middle-aged man with an ugly face turned into a ray of light and appeared in front of Cheng Buzheng.
"Junior, your methods are good!"
"I actually got rid of a foundation-building monk. Fortunately, I have some tricks, but now it's more convenient for me."
"Hurry up and hand over the storage bag, and I'll give you a good time."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to survive or die!"
Hear the words.
Cheng Buzheng looked at this middle-aged man with an ugly face. This man was one of the two foundation-building monks who had followed him before.
He also didn't expect that this foundation-building monk would actually have such a method.
But he was not worried. Instead, he said with a smile:
"Senior, how did you discover my traces, please tell me?"
"Otherwise, I won't be willing to die."
"Without further ado."
The middle-aged man with an ugly face said impatiently:
"Hurry and hand over the storage bag."
See this.
After Cheng Buzheng didn't trick him out, he stopped delaying.
A hundred feet away, a nine-foot-sized three-legged golden crow suddenly appeared, flapped its wings, turned into a golden stream of light, and rushed towards Puppet No. 1.
Countless flowers, plants, trees, gravel and soil along the road turned into a black object.
At the same time, Cheng BuZheng's true body was revealed a hundred feet away.
The distance of a hundred feet is exactly the distance Cheng Buzheng chose to attack in a sneak attack. Most of the monks in the early stages of foundation building almost all practice techniques that specialize in mana, and the range of their spiritual awareness is around sixty feet.
As for the techniques that cultivate mana and the body in parallel, the warning range of the spiritual consciousness is almost eighty feet, and the techniques that cultivate the mana and the soul in parallel, the warning range of the spiritual consciousness is about ninety feet.
But Cheng Buzheng is a fellow practitioner of the three, and his spiritual consciousness is extremely powerful. The warning range is a full one hundred feet in radius. The consumption of the warning range of his spiritual consciousness is just within his tolerance range, which is enough to ensure that he is in peak condition at any time.
If his consciousness were to search in one direction with all his strength, it would be a hundred times the warning range, a full ten thousand feet.
This is also the reason why the more sophisticated the technique is, the more powerful it is. It not only has the upper hand in one aspect, but also crushes it in all aspects.
In an instant.
The middle-aged monk with an ugly face sensed the huge spiritual energy fluctuation not far away. Without thinking, he directly raised a shield in front of him.
Next, just as he was about to make another move, the golden stream of light appeared in front of him.
"boom!"
A huge shield turned into a lump, and the ugly man had been burned into nothingness, leaving not even a trace of ashes.
