When the auctioneer took out the nameless black stone, the hammer inside the storage bag suddenly moved, just like the last time he saw the Nine-Star Xuanming Stone.

Shen Qinglan naturally understood what it meant.

This nameless black stone is one of the materials used to repair the hammer!

Master said that it takes many repairs before the hammer can return to its peak condition.

The Nine-Star Xuanming Stone last time was too far away for her, and it was impossible to obtain it regardless of financial resources or strength.

But this time the nameless black stone is different.

It was right in front of her, and she could find a way to get the exchange items she needed.

If she doesn't take action, she will be a fool.

As for the monk's favor, she will return it.

Soon, the auctioneer on the stage suddenly stopped talking, and then took down the nameless black stone.

When he appeared in the public eye again, he was holding another lot with a big smile.

"Everyone, the black stone just now has been replaced by other fellow Taoists. The one I have is..."

The professional auctioneer described it lightly, but everyone in the audience started talking again, "Has it really been replaced?"

"What kind of gem is that?"

Someone replied, "Don't you know the integrity of the island's auction? It is said to be passed down from the ancestors of the gods, and it seems to be true!"

Another person sighed, "Oh my, I missed it."

Someone laughed at him, "It sounds like you have an entrance ticket to the Demon Slaying Conference."

The man laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, this is a dream, and I will wake up in an instant!"

Others were also amused by him, and the atmosphere in the auction house became lively again. This time Shang Jinxing did not stop him.

His eyes fell on the monk. As soon as the monk came in and out, someone exchanged the wooden entry sign.

Will he be a monk?

Shang Jinxing sent a message to the surrounding Jindan monks, and the Jindan monks left silently.

Shen Qinglan had no intention of paying attention to this. The monk just came back and only said one sentence, "It's changed."

"Thank you!" Shen Qinglan thanked her sincerely.

The monk smiled and waved his hands, continuing to pay attention to the activities at the auction.

An idea flashed through Shen Qinglan's mind for a moment, and finally she sent a message to the monk, "I have decided to accept your invitation and go to the Western Regions with you."

At present, this is all she can do. She tried to evade it in every possible way before, but she changed her mind after a moment. It was indeed because of the nameless black stone.

It is good to say that she is indifferent, but it is okay to say that she is only interested in profit.

She is a person who puts her own interests first and will not do anything early if there is no gain.

The monk on the side was not surprised when he heard that Shen Qinglan said that he wanted to go to the Western Regions with him.

He knew that she didn't want to owe a favor.

But the monk refused.

"Are you and I friends?"

"Of course yes."

"Then don't say such words, it will make me sad."

Shen Qinglan was a little surprised, "Huh?"

She felt that the monk was not someone who was easily sad.

"As a true friend, you won't feel that you owe me something and have to pay it back through other things."

Shen Qinglan was stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change one's nature. This was also said by a friend in my previous life.

She is indeed a person who would rather others owe her a favor than owe others a favor.

It would be fine if they were just ordinary friends, and we would be able to stay together for a long time.

But some friends may drift further and further away from you.

Seeing that Shen Qinglan was silent, the monk's expression became a little gentler, "This thing was originally prepared for you to use. Now that you are using it, I think it's very good."

He paused and said, "As for the Western Region, you don't have to take this matter to heart. My master has recruited eighty or more talented monks, and there are many who are better than you."

Regardless of whether what the monk said was true or false, Shen Qinglan decided not to talk about it yet.

There is a long way to go, and even if you change your mind in the future, it is not impossible.

She took the cloth bag handed over by the monk, which contained the box containing the nameless black stone.

"If you say "thank you" too much, it won't be interesting. Then you can talk to me if you have anything to do in the future."

The monk nodded with satisfaction, "Yes."

The auction is still going on, but Shen Qinglan's heart has already flown back.

After finally waiting for the auction to end, the two of them immediately returned to the courtyard.

"I'll probably have to stay in seclusion for a while."

The monk grimaced, "How long will it take? What should I do with my meal? I'm already starting to get hungry!"

Shen Qinglan:......

What a fucking dog monk!

"Can't you eat those Bigu Pills you had before? Are there any restaurants on the island that can make you hungry?"

The monk looked disgusted and said, "Even dogs won't eat that stuff!"

He also pointed at the little wolf, "I won't eat even two hammers!"

Xiaolang: I suspect this guy is scolding me.

Shen Qinglan was speechless. This guy had just done her a big favor, that's all. It wouldn't take long.

"Take out all the edible food in your storage bag." Shen Qinglan said as she also packed up some ingredients.

The monk obediently took out all the ingredients from his storage bag.

The two of them gathered around to deal with it, and Shen Qinglan said, "I'll make you a pot of seafood stew."

She threw the three energy shields out and transformed into the largest form. This pot was enough for a monk to eat for several months.

The monk smiled and nodded, but said, "Didn't you say that eating too much seafood was bad last time?"

Shen Qinglan:......

The last time she said this was because she didn't want the monks to steal her food. They were monks and not ordinary mortals. She would not be able to eat the seafood she had refined with the Hundred Demons Flame Heart Art for a lifetime, let alone a few months.

Something might be wrong.

Shen Qinglan ignored him and continued to deal with the ingredients, and then took out a whole Yulingmun, a triangle sheep, and a green-horned ox from the storage bag.

After all these were taken care of, she threw out a few balls of strange fire and started to make food for Erchui.

Alas, I don’t even know if I have a spiritual pet or an ancestor.

I’ve never seen any spiritual beast that doesn’t eat raw meat!

The monk looked enviously at the few meats rolling on the flames.

He muttered, "Oh, both of them eat better than me."

The ordinary little wolf howled, "Ooooooo! Ooooooh!"

You dog monk, what are you dreaming about, and you are competing with me!

Dog monk!

Pfft, Shen Qinglan laughed out loud, "It's a pity that he is not Nan Qing, he doesn't understand very well."

"Oow, ow, ow!" Regardless of whether he understood it or not, Little Wolf had no intention of cursing less.

The monk asked her, "Er Hammer is scolding me?"

Shen Qinglan put the prepared seafood into the pot, "Is it possible that it can still praise you for trying to compete with it for food?"

The monk sighed and lazily sat on the reclining chair. He copied the one made by Shen Qinglan. It was indeed very comfortable.

"If you stay in seclusion for a few months, you will have to eat seafood for several months."

Shen Qinglan threw out a cow again, "This is the last one. All the ingredients I brought from the Eastern Region have been wiped out by you two!"

"Hey hey hey, thank you Taoist Qinglan."

"Ooooooo!" Little Wolf didn't feel like he was in trouble.

"For the Demon Slaying Conference, you have to stay in the accommodation prepared by the East China Sea Alliance in advance. They have someone specifically responsible for clarifying the rules. Don't wait too long."
