There was a knock on the door outside the private room, and the maid opened the door. It was Yu Lingyun, the shopkeeper of the Huaiyang City branch of Tianbao Pavilion, who came in.
"Mr. Huangtian, are you satisfied with the results of today's auction?" Yu Lingyun looked at Zhou Chen with a smile.
"Basically, I have bought everything I can buy, and the rest I can't afford," Zhou Chen replied.
"Sir, you are joking. How can an alchemy master who can refine the dazzling pattern foundation-building pill be short of spiritual stones?"
Zhou Chen smiled and said nothing.
"I also want you to buy some elixirs and other materials." Zhou Chen said.
"Mr. Huangtian only needs to write down the items and give them to the maid, and a cup of tea will be delivered on time. I also hope that Mr. Huangtian can continue to cooperate with Tianbao Pavilion in the elixir business in the future." Yu Lingyun heard Zhou Chen's words,
With joy in his heart, he bowed slightly and said.
Zhou Chen nodded, picked up the pen on the table and wrote down a list of elixirs, which included some talisman seal materials, talisman paper, talisman pens, cinnabar, etc., and said: "I don't like to show up in public, I will do it by myself in the future.
My apprentice is here to meet you."
"Is Mr. Huangtian's apprentice also an alchemist?" Yu Lingyun asked.
"My apprentice is an all-around genius. Not only is he excellent in alchemy, but he is also good at formations and talismans. He is also a genius in the art of swordsmanship." Zhou Chen replied without blushing or heartbeat.
Lie Tianzun's head was covered with black lines, and he was speechless. This guy knew a lot of things, and he couldn't even fill half a bucket of water with them all.
Yu Lingyun smiled awkwardly, not expecting that Mr. Huangtian's words were so unreliable.
…
After a while, the maid delivered a Na Ring, which contained a large amount of elixirs, a Xuan-level rune pen, and a large stack of medium-sized talisman papers. Zhou Chenhua took out thirty thousand spiritual stones from the Na Ring and handed it to the maid.
After chatting for a while, Yu Lingyun got up and left the box. Because the finale auction was about to be put on the shelves, as the shopkeeper of the Tianbao Pavilion branch, she needed to make some arrangements.
"Are you ready?" Yu Lingyun asked an old man.
"Don't worry, miss, I have already made arrangements." The old man bowed and replied.
"Hope it goes well." Yu Lingyun frowned slightly, as if she had something on her mind.
…
in the auction house,
The maid placed the tray in her hand on the table, which was covered with a delicate silk red cloth.
"Everyone, let's start the auction of today's penultimate lot." Lu Yulin said to the audience.
Everyone in the venue was looking forward to it. The items that could be auctioned in the penultimate auction must have their own special value.
I saw Lu Yulin lift the silk red cloth, and a simple black token appeared on the jade plate, with one word engraved on it: slaughter.
Lu Yulin picked up the token, showed it to the audience, and said, "I don't know if you all know this thing. This thing is called the "Devil Slaying Order". Thousands of years ago, Qingxuan Continent was invaded by demons from other worlds. Qingxuan Continent was invaded by demons from other worlds.
Countless geniuses have gathered the power of all living beings to open up many ancient battlefields, and there are also ancient battlefields in the northern region where we are located. The fighting was fierce in the ancient battlefields, and countless powerful monks and demons fell in them. In the end, the demons were repelled, and this
The ancient battlefield has now become a secret realm of exploration. There is a huge amount of energy left in the secret realm, forming a powerful restriction. This energy has an instinctive sense of protection and repels monks above the cave. It is also filled with countless murderous consciousnesses, which will affect
The soul of a person, and this demon-slaying order was the only certificate for entering the battlefield when the battlefield was opened, and it was also a treasure to prevent the intrusion of the consciousness of killing. There are not many demon-slaying orders that have survived in the world, and they are basically in the hands of some powerful forces.
"
"Deputy Shopkeeper Lu, you have said so. We have all heard this, but as far as I know, this ancient battlefield secret realm only appeared eight hundred years ago, and the time of its appearance is not fixed. Who knows when it will appear again?
."
"You're right. I'm taking pictures now. I don't know when I can go in, and I don't know what treasures are left inside."
"What you all said makes sense, but what I want to tell you is, what if the secret realm of the ancient battlefield in the Northern Territory is about to appear?"
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in the whole place, and noisy discussions arose. This news was really shocking. The secret realm of the ancient battlefield that had disappeared for eight hundred years was about to appear.
"This news is known by my powerful investigation at Tianbao Pavilion. The news is accurate. The ancient secret realm in the Northern Territory will appear in about three months." Lu Yulin said with a solemn expression.
"This is just a one-sided statement from your Tianbao Pavilion. Who knows if it is a gimmick for the auction."
"The reputation of our Tianbao Pavilion is known to the world, so I won't say anything more here. The Demon Slaying Order has started to be auctioned, with a starting price of one million low-grade spiritual stones." Lu Yulin announced with a big move.
No one bid in the audience. Everyone was considering the value and accuracy of this information. Lu Yulin was not in a hurry and looked at the audience calmly.
"One million." A woman's voice came out, and the first bidder was Tianya Pavilion.
"One million three hundred thousand."
"1500000"
"1.8 million."
…
Someone took the initiative, and all the forces no longer hesitated and made bids one after another.
"Five million." Fei Wu from the Tianlang Gang stood up and said lazily.
Wow!
Unexpectedly, the auction price increased directly from three million to five million. All forces are considering buying such a token with five million spirit stones. It is not sure whether the secret book will be opened. Even if the secret book is opened, what will happen if you enter it?
We don’t know the rewards and risks. Everyone is weighing whether it is valuable to buy such a token at such a high price with no known outcome.
"Five million spiritual stones, are there any bidders?" Lu Yulin said, looking around.
There was no sound and no one bid again.
"Demon Slayer Order, five million low-grade spiritual stones, deal done! Congratulations to Young Master Fei of the Tianlang Gang." Lu Yulin said with a satisfied smile. The price was a bit higher than expected.
Fei Wu sat down with a proud look on his face.
"It's just a second-rate force. If he takes such a high-profile photo of this thing, I'm afraid he may not be able to hold it."
"This Feiwu is a brainless thing. He does things based on his mood. Even if he is allowed to enter the secret realm, he will never get out."
"The secret realm of the ancient battlefield has been opened. Not only the forces of our Shenyun Empire will enter, but some forces from the Northern Territory may also enter. It is not certain whether it will be a blessing or a disaster."
Everyone in the venue was talking softly...
…
After the demon-slaying order was successfully handed over to Fei Wu, the final auction item was about to appear.
suddenly,
There were many tyrannical auras around the auction house, the lowest ones were those of Cave Heaven Realm Dacheng, and there were even a few auras of Yuandan Realm strong men. These auras burst out without concealment. These should be the strong men of Tianbao Pavilion.
He was flexing his muscles to intimidate the forces present.
There was a commotion in the venue, and there was a lot of discussion. Everyone knew that these were powerful people from Tianbao Pavilion, so they didn't pay much attention to it. They were all waiting for the last item to be auctioned.
Everyone in every box stood up, and everyone was paying attention to the central auction stage.
The graceful maid from Tianbao Pavilion appeared on the stage again, still holding the exquisite tray with a flawless white jade bottle on it. She walked slowly over and placed the tray on the stage.
Buzz!
A bright magic circle rose up from the auction stage, covering the entire auction stage.
"Everyone, the final item in today's auction must have been waiting for a long time. This item does not belong to my Tianbao Pavilion. According to its owner, this item will not participate in the bidding, but will be conducted by bidding. In addition to spiritual stones, other items can be added.
For the replacement of treasures or elixirs, the spiritual stones must be of medium grade or above. The treasures or elixirs are first handed over to the pavilion for safekeeping through the maid. The owner of the auction will finally decide the winning bidder, and the remaining items will be returned to you. Since this auction is very precious, so
I hope you will not participate in bidding for ordinary items in your hands." Lu Yunlin said a long paragraph.
The auction was turned into a bidding session, with so many tricks being used before everyone even saw what the auction items were, which made many people dissatisfied.
"Deputy Shopkeeper Lu, the treasures to be auctioned have not been announced yet, so Tianbao Pavilion is too arrogant to impose so many rules." The speaker was an old man sitting in the crowd, his aura was very domineering.
"That's right, if a good auction is changed to a bidding session, then the rest of us will have no chance." Someone in the audience echoed.
"Stop talking nonsense. Even if you don't change, you have no chance."
"Everyone, please be patient. This senior is the famous Taoist Master Ling Xiao. I just explained the situation first to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings later. I have no other intention. Please forgive me." Lu Yunlin bowed his hands and saluted.
“Without further ado, let’s announce the final auction item.”
Lu Yunlin picked up the white jade bottle and gently unplugged the cork. A drop of fresh red blood slowly floated up from the bottle. This drop of blood bloomed with such dazzling brilliance that the person reflected in it could not open their eyes. The blood was constantly releasing
With the majestic vitality and powerful spiritual pressure, everyone felt a huge pressure coming on. Those with weak cultivation could not bear the pressure and began to tremble.
"Oh my god! This is... the blood of a saint!" Someone in the audience shouted in horror, and the scene immediately became noisy.
All the people in the box stood up, clenched their fists, and stared at the drop of blood in the center of the auction table. Some forces had already received the news released by Tianbao Pavilion, and they came here today just for this thing.
"Boy, if something happens, get out of here quickly." Lie Tianzun's urgent reminder sounded in Zhou Chen's ears.
"What's wrong, teacher, what is this saint's essence and blood?" Zhou Chen asked in surprise.
"Don't ask. If this thing appears in the world, it will definitely cause a bloody disaster. It was the same in my era. Something will definitely happen today. Leave quickly and don't hesitate." Lie Tianzun urged.
Feeling the tension in Lie Tianzun's words, Zhou Chen stopped thinking about it and immediately stood up and left the box, heading straight out of the venue.
…
After a period of commotion, the bidding for the finale lot in the venue had begun.
After a period of chaos, the venue began to restore order, and all major forces handed over their replacement items to the central auction stage.
"Everyone's bidding items have been collected. Now I will announce everyone's competing product information to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Lu Yunlin said.
"The bidding items of the Tianlang Gang are the seventh-grade elixir Po Rui Dan and one million middle-grade spiritual stones."
"The bidding items of Tianya Pavilion are a mid-level heavenly weapon and a calamity sword plus two hundred thousand mid-level spiritual stones."
"The Wuji Alliance's bidding items are a magic medicine and two hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones."
"The bidding items of the Blood Demon Sect are the six heavenly clocks, a low-grade spiritual weapon, plus one hundred thousand mid-grade spiritual stones."
…
Lu Yunlin announced all the competing treasures on the auction stage. Of course, these middle-grade spiritual stones are not real objects, but VIP cards specially used for Tianbao Pavilion, which record the number of spiritual stones from each force. It has to be said that although these forces are only second-rate,
Financial resources are scarce. These forces have been working in the local area for more than hundreds of years, and the wealth they have accumulated is quite huge.
"The owner of your competing treasures is already aware of it. We will ask the owner for his final wishes. Please wait a moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge vibration suddenly occurred in the entire auction venue. The powerful fluctuations were like an earthquake. Everyone stood up in horror.
"What happened?"
"Oh my god, it's an earthquake. Is the timing such a coincidence?"
"It's an earthquake, run away quickly, we are just spectators anyway."
…
boom!
With a loud noise, the ceiling of the venue collapsed directly, and various debris fell down. The huge roof beam broke and fell down, directly killing dozens of people in the venue.
A huge hand fell from the sky and grabbed the auction table, with such powerful force that the space was torn apart.
boom!
A loud noise sounded again, and the palm hit the magic circle. After holding on for a breath, the magic circle shattered into countless light spots. The powerful aftermath of the true energy directly killed dozens of nearby monks, and countless others were injured and vomited blood.
"ah…"
Lu Yunlin let out a scream, which instantly turned into a burst of blood mist.
"Run quickly, we're killing people."
"Help, I don't want to die."
…
The auction venue instantly turned into a hell on earth. It was chaotic, with screams and cries mixed in. People trampled on each other and fought. There were corpses everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere. The entire auction venue collapsed in the giant palm and turned into a pile.
ruins.
The giant palm disappeared after arriving at the auction stage.
All this happened in just a moment, and the strong men of Tianyuan Pavilion did not even realize what happened.
At this time, a mysterious man in black robe appeared on the auction stage. He waved his sleeves, took away everything on the table, and was about to leave, when an angry shout suddenly sounded from the venue.
"Insolent! Who dares to offend my Tianbao Pavilion!"
Another huge palm fell from the sky, trying to crush the mysterious man in black robe. At this time, the man in black robe raised his right hand, slapped out a palm, and touched the giant palm.
boom!
There was a shocking loud noise, and the powerful power of true energy exploded from the venue. The auction house, which was already in ruins, was instantly crushed into powder. People who were close were directly blown into blood mist, and people in the distance were also angry.
He vomited blood after being hit by the wave, and the mysterious man in black robe was pushed several steps.
"A strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm! Who are you?" an old voice asked.
The man in black robe did not speak, but his figure moved and turned into a stream of light, piercing the air and leaving.
"The saint's essence and blood have been taken away by him. Hurry up and chase him, don't let him escape." An old man from Tianbao Pavilion yelled.
This is the essence and blood of a saint, as well as many treasures and elixirs. If it cannot be recovered, Tianbao Pavilion will pay an unimaginable price.
The giant palm that destroyed the venue came from a strong man in the Nascent Soul Realm. Not only did it destroy the entire auction house with one palm, it also took away the blood of the saint and all the bidding treasures.
Zhou Chen, who had been far away for a long time, looked at the scene of the auction house being smashed into ruins by giant palms in shock. His eyes were extremely solemn. If Lie Tianzun hadn't reminded him just now, he might have confessed inside.
"The man in black robe is in the early stage of Yuanying Realm. The Tianbao Pavilion strongman who just took action is also in the early stage of Yuanying Realm. Moreover, there are more than one auras of Yuanying Realm strongmen in the venue. The person who took action may not be able to take away the treasure smoothly.
So easy." Lie Tianzun said.
"Teacher, thank you for your reminder just now." Zhou Chen said with lingering fear.
"The essence and blood of saints can be said to be one of the most valuable treasures in this era. It is almost impossible to put it up for auction. This auction is obviously a trap. Let alone a strong person from the Nascent Soul Realm, even if it is from the Dongxu Realm,
It’s not unusual for a powerful person in the Supreme realm to shamelessly snatch it after knowing the news, especially for some old monsters who have run out of oil and gas, this thing is even more precious. Tianbao Pavilion still underestimated the allure of the saint’s essence and blood this time.
Or maybe I was tricked."
"In my time, when the blood essence of the saint was born, the same was true. Countless strong men fought desperately for this thing, and even triggered large-scale sect wars. In short, as soon as this thing appears, there will be blood disasters. You should pay attention to it in the future
Click." Lie Tianzun continued.
"What a tragedy caused by a drop of blood. What is the role of this saint's essence and blood?" Zhou Chen asked in confusion.
"There are not many things that can make those old monsters who have reached their peak cultivation level desire. This saint's essence and blood is one of them. It may contain secrets that we have not yet understood. Don't worry about it for now. If the saint's essence and blood are lost, this place will be in chaos.
