Jing Hao stared at Xu Wanzhen who was very close, as if hesitating whether to reveal more information to her.
Xu Wanzhen's black and white eyes suddenly showed some sadness and self-pity, as if she suddenly recognized her true identity, and said in a waning mood:
"Can't you tell me? Then I won't ask."
Seeing this, Jing Hao suddenly felt his heart soften, and an inexplicable feeling of relief spread in his heart.
With Xu Wanzhen's appearance and cultivation level, if she were within the sect, she would at least be a leader among the inner disciples, a veritable "fairy".
He would sincerely say "honored" to be able to make friends with her. As for wanting to go further and even listen to her singing softly underneath him, that was just nonsense.
This secret wish was realized to some extent through the chastity in front of her.
Even though he knows that this is probably a victory for his acting skills, if he can't always show his own value, why should people be so petty and tactful to him?
So, he thought about it in his mind and said softly:
"Don't worry about how many times there will be such auctions. You will be right to wait until the auction price of ordinary foundation-building pills drops below 120 medium-grade spiritual stones before you take action!"
When Xu Wanzhen heard this, her eyes trembled, and she lost her voice: "Does Qingxuan Sect have so many foundation-building pills?"
Jing Hao chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. If you want to believe me, just listen to me."
As he spoke, he reminded again:
"Sister Zhenzhen, it's not easy for you to earn some spiritual stones.
You have to believe me. If you don't have to, don't make unnecessary expenses during this period, and try to keep the spiritual stones in your hands.
If there are idle items you want to sell, it’s best to sell them as soon as possible.”
Xu Wanzhen's eyes were full of brilliance, and her thoughts went through her mind countless times, but she said with some hesitation on her face:
"I heard that because of today's auction, there has been a shortage of spiritual stones on the market, and the prices of many things are much lower than usual."
Jing Hao laughed and said:
"Don't worry, the spiritual stone shortage you see now is just a short-term fluctuation, and it will return to normal soon. You can just sell the idle items in your hands at that time."
Xu Wanzhen's eyes showed a thoughtful look and she said slowly:
"But in the future, there will definitely be a shortage of spiritual stones, right?"
Jing Hao shook his head and corrected:
"That's not called a shortage of spiritual stones. It's a return of spiritual stones to their original value. Today's spiritual stones are too cheap.
Don't think that Qingxuanzong is up to some conspiracy. Just say that today's auction, if you pick anything at random, could be regarded as the finale of an auction in the past.
In the past, people may have had more spiritual stones in their hands, but many of them were priceless and unmarketable. If you wanted to buy something, you didn't know where to buy it.
Now Qingxuan Sect has opened up its supply, and everyone has fewer spiritual stones in their pockets, but they really got what they wanted."
At this point, Jing Hao suddenly realized that he had said a little too much, and quickly went back to make up for it, half reminding, half warning:
"Sister Zhenzhen, what I said is already a bit taboo.
This is not something ordinary insiders can know. I only know these inside stories because of my father!
Just know it yourself, but don’t tell others you know it, and don’t try to use this news to make arbitrage by buying low and selling high.
Otherwise, if you are targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall, don’t blame me for not saving you!"
Just as he was talking, the soft and tender body in front of him was already close to her.
Xu Wanzhen exhaled like blue and whispered in his ear:
"Brother Hao, don't worry. What you said today will come out of your mouth and into my ears. No third person will know about it."
Hearing the beauty's assurance, Jing Hao breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relieved and even felt a little annoyed.
How about asking her to swear an oath in front of her face and add another layer of insurance?
Jing Hao was thinking in his mind, and he was not making a fuss. If he really let the disciples know that he had revealed such secrets because of the looseness of his lower body, it would be easy for him to fail to become an inner disciple. It is very likely that the entire family would be implicated by him.
!
However, cultivators, especially those like Zhenniang who have reached the ninth level of Qi training and are actively seeking to build foundations, are very taboo about making oaths to guide the mind, and will try to avoid it if possible.
He was thinking about how to speak in order to keep the atmosphere as calm as possible, but Xu Wanzhen whispered in his ear:
"Brother Hao, I am very happy that you can share this secret with me as your own person.
If you trust me so much, I will never let you down.
I also have a big secret to share with you!"
Jing Hao was distracted by his words and was a little curious, "What's the big secret?"
"A big secret that will definitely allow you to get a lot of credit within the sect, and if it works well, you can also get a lot of benefits!" Xu Wanzhen said mysteriously.
Hearing her words like this, Jing Hao's curiosity was completely aroused. He grabbed her hands and quickly asked: "What kind of big secret is this? Tell me carefully!"
"Oops, your scratching hurts me!" Xu Wanzhen exclaimed softly, rolled her eyes at Jing Hao, and said, "Looking at how anxious you are, since I told you, I will make it clear to you!"
"Have you met Mama Yun from Meixiang Building?" she asked.
Jing Hao nodded: "Well, I've met her a few times. In fact, she has quite a reputation among our fellow seniors. Some of our fellow seniors even admire her quite a bit."
"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen responded with an unclear meaning.
"Yes, everyone says her deeds are very inspiring.
An orphan girl whose family members were all wiped out and herself was sold into a caged land uses her own wisdom, talents and talents to escape from her miserable fate step by step.
Relying on the right and left, surviving in the cracks, building the foundation, controlling Meixiang Tower, and becoming a high-ranking figure in the square.
It is said that her path to rise is ten times more difficult than other foundation building ones!"
At this point, Jing Hao's heart moved. He looked at Xu Wanzhen and asked tentatively: "Could the big secret you mentioned have something to do with Yun's mother?"
Xu Wanzhen nodded lightly.
Jing Hao hurriedly asked: "What's the big secret?"
Xu Wanzhen looked around, folded her arms, as if on guard against something, and said softly: "Is there a more private place?"
Jing Hao stared at her for a while before asking, "Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
"Mama Yun, it's not as simple as you see!"
"This is not nonsense, you don't want to get rid of the control of Meixiang Tower and deliberately set it up.
If so, I can't protect you!" Jing Hao reminded.
"I have irrefutable proof!" Xu Wanzhen said.
Jing Hao's eyes flashed and he said, "Okay, my family has a self-built cave in a residential area. It happens to be unoccupied during this period. I will take you there right now!"
The two of them left the room without any delay and soon left the place.
Next door, Meng Zhou was sitting there as he had been at the beginning.
As the power of Qi and blood recedes from the head, it returns to wherever it came from and returns to all parts of the body.
The power of spiritual consciousness that broke free from the shackles of the body was locked back into the cage of the body.
As soon as his mind returned, a strong feeling of weakness came over him.
This is caused by using the power of spiritual consciousness for too long and excessive consumption of qi and blood.
The magic power of the perfect level of water nourishing and nourishing the body circulates, infiltrating the whole body and all limbs like sweet rain.
With the rapid consumption of Perfect Mana, the excessive consumption of energy and blood was quickly restored, and the feeling of weakness in the body quickly disappeared.
Directly using magic power to replenish the power of qi and blood is the wonder of this cultivation system that he has built with his own hands and has just begun to take shape.
After recovering, Meng Zhou did not stay any longer and went straight back to Ruyiju, where he continued to practice without stopping.
In order to avoid affecting his spiritual practice, he took the initiative to downplay the shocking news that could cause a ten-level earthquake in his heart, and did not delve into its deeper meaning for the time being.
Two days later, early morning.
Meng Zhou went to the canteen of Ruyiju and took some spiritual food to prepare.
Hearing a few words from the comments of others, he raised his eyes and glanced, and saw that shopkeeper Chen was also there. He walked over with a dinner plate, sat across from him, and asked curiously:
"What are you talking about? It's so lively?"
"You haven't heard of it yet?" Shopkeeper Chen didn't answer. Another monk next to him had already looked over curiously.
Meng Zhou shook his head: "I have been practicing in the house these days and haven't come out much. I haven't paid attention. From what you think, Qinglinfang seems to have changed again?"
Shopkeeper Chen, however, is a man whose sensitivity is not inferior to Shopkeeper Lu of Xiangminglou. He quickly filled in the omission:
"The sky has not changed, the sky has not changed, so don't talk nonsense.
Our Qinglinfang’s destiny has always been Qingxuan Sect, but it has never changed!”
"Ah? I said something wrong!" Meng Zhou opened his mouth and honestly admitted his mistake.
Shopkeeper Chen was afraid that others would say something "treasonous", so he quickly introduced to Meng Zhou:
"It's mainly two things.
One is related to spirit stones. Some time ago, many foundation-building fake elixir monks gathered all the spirit stones under their command, resulting in fewer and fewer spirit stones on the market, causing prices to fall.
Since the auction ended, Qingxuan Sect has released a lot of resources through bulk purchases, and prices have returned to normal."
Speaking of this, he specifically emphasized:
"When many people heard this, they thought Qingxuanzong was buying the bottom at a low price. This really underestimated Qingxuanzong.
The price for bulk purchases is based on the market price before the decline, and it is precisely because of this that the market price returned to normal so quickly."
Meng Zhou nodded, his mind corroborating Jing Hao's words that day, but he understood the inside story better than the people present, but he exclaimed in surprise on his face:
"To achieve this level, how many resources must be purchased?"
Shopkeeper Chen said:
"Who says it's not? There are some rumors saying that Qingxuan Sect is reserving resources in order to transform Cuiyu Lake into a third-level spiritual land.
Other forces interested in joining the situation also reacted. To transform a second-order spiritual vein covering an area of nearly a thousand miles into a third-order spiritual land, the resources required are very terrifying!
If you don't prepare in advance, even if you are qualified to enter the game, you won't have many resources at your disposal.
For this reason, more and more forces are coming to Qinglinfang to purchase materials, and the prices of various resources on the market have been rising.
Many chambers of commerce have seen business opportunities and used the Dharma Ark spaceship to transport supplies from other spiritual places in the Qingxuan Territory."
Having said this, shopkeeper Chen shook his head with emotion.
"You haven't seen the excitement these two days, it's only been two days.
In a few days, the grand occasion will be a veritable return of all rivers to the sea!"
Meng Zhou nodded, expressing his understanding.
"Didn't you say two things? There is one more thing?"
"One more thing is related to the auction. The treasure auction held by Qingxuan Sect last time was really successful.
Many monks who came after hearing the news were filled with regret and regretted that they were late.
Some even complained that Qingxuanzong didn't do enough publicity and that the time was too short, so that they who were too far away didn't have time to arrive, and the auction was over.
In addition, after some powerful forces knew the prices of those treasures at that auction, many of them also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cash in the treasures in their hands."
"So?" Meng Zhou said softly.
"Everyone strongly hopes that Qingxuan Sect will hold another treasure auction and allow other forces to consign treasures."
"Qingxuanzong felt everyone's strong desire and promised to hold it again on February 15th.
Not only are other forces allowed to consign treasures, but they do not charge any fees.
Moreover, because the Qingxuan Territory is vast, it takes time for a message to spread throughout the territory, and it takes even more time for people to come to Qinglinfang.
Therefore, in order to prevent this situation from happening again, Qingxuanzong promises that as long as there is still strong demand and people continue to send treasures for auction, this semi-monthly treasure auction will continue."
While shopkeeper Chen was telling the story, many monks had gathered around him unknowingly.
At this moment, some monks could not help but praise: "Not to mention other things, in this matter, Qingxuan Sect has really done nothing to say!"
Everyone else nodded in approval.
In order not to appear unsociable, Meng Zhou also praised twice.
After breakfast, Meng Zhou did not go back to his house to practice. Instead, he left Ruyiju and went straight to the stall area in the business district.
Before he even got close, Meng Zhou felt the hustle and bustle from a distance.
There were many more monks there than the last time he came here.
If you just take a look around, you will see that what shopkeeper Chen said is true. The prices of various resources have increased.
Meng Zhou came here this time not just to verify this matter, he had serious business.
He already knows that the current prosperity is an illusion deliberately created by Qingxuan Sect.
Since eighty years ago, although there has always been an undercurrent, the entire Qingxuan Territory has indeed been recuperating and developing silently for eighty years.
In the past eighty years, a large number of spiritual stones and resources have been hidden in the storage bags of monks and in the warehouses of various forces.
Just like the seemingly calm and clear lake water, there are actually many fish hidden in it. Some of them are hiding in the aquatic plants, and some are hiding in the crevices of the rocks.
Now, Qing Xuanzong suddenly inserted a stick into it and stirred it vigorously, making the water extremely turbid.
When the water becomes clear again, how many fewer fish will be lost?
Probably no one except Qingxuanzong himself will know the exact answer. At most, it is just a vague feeling.
Meng Zhou had little arms and legs, and he never thought about getting involved. He just wanted to take the opportunity to clean out the last batch of valuable materials on his hands.
There are 800 master-level flying arrow talismans and 800 master-level ice talismans.
Previously, he went to Hongsongling Anle Chamber of Commerce to "fish", and the bait Meng Zhou released was only the master-level cleansing talisman and the light body talisman, which are lower value and safer talismans.
These two more powerful and valuable talismans were left in his hands.
Otherwise, if someone buys the talisman and resells it to use it against themselves, it will become a black humor.
The reason why I didn't deal with it the last time I came here but I don't have such scruples this time is also very simple, because the water is now muddy.
