Guan Shanqing said he was inviting everyone, but his main focus was always on Meng Xiyu. Obviously, Meng Xiyu's weight was greater than that of everyone else.
Meng Xiyu smiled slightly and said: "Since Senior Guan invites me so kindly, it would be better to obey my orders than to be respectful."
Zhuo Kun and others also agreed, and they still had to give this little face to Guan Shanqing, not to mention that they had an advantage.
Zhou Xing, however, looked embarrassed. Although he had a small amount of assets, how could he compare with these people? Moreover, he was eager to go to Jingshan Danlin to seek elixirs from Jinglong Dansheng.
Seeing this, Guan Shanqing guessed some of his thoughts, so he said: "If something happens to Xiaoyou Zhou, you shouldn't be in a hurry. I would also like to remind you that the Lingbi Proverbs Fish cannot be put into the spirit beast bag, otherwise it will not die.
, will also become the same as ordinary Proteus fish. I still hope that my little friend can participate in tonight's auction. Maybe you will find the treasure you like. I will send someone to take you out of the city early tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Zhou Xing was awe-inspiring. Without Guan Shanqing's reminder, he might have destroyed Lingbi Zhenyu by accident. Moreover, after leaving the city, it was still unknown whether he could reach Jingshan alive.
"What reason does this junior have for refusing?"
When they went to the auction house, Guan Shanqing arranged a luxurious box for everyone. Zhou Xing's eyes were opened as soon as he entered. Not to mention the two pretty maids at the door, the carpets inside were made of the furs of fourth-level spiritual beasts.
It was made of high-grade magic core embedded in the wall, exuding a wonderful brilliance that made him want to pick it off. On the coffee table, there were rich-smelling spiritual tea and various spiritual fruits, which whetted his appetite.
As soon as Zhou Xing was lying on the soft chair, moaning happily, a pleasant voice came from outside the door: "Mr. Zhou, may I meet you?"
Meng Xiyu, what is she here for? I just met her and only exchanged a polite word with her.
"Please come in."
The door opened, the lotus steps moved lightly, and the beautiful and charming Meng Xiyu stood in front of him. Zhou Xing spontaneously stood up from the chair, straightened his back, and asked, "I wonder what the saint wants from me?"
Meng Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, her red lips parted slightly: "Young master, don't be nervous. You should know that I have no intention of competing with others on the Diaoyutai."
Zhou Xing nodded, it was true, Meng Xiyu, Ning Gang and others were not at the same level at all.
Meng Xiyu continued: "Xiyu came to Shimo City this time just for the Lingbi Zhenyu itself. It is of great use to me. I wonder if you can part with me. I will definitely give you adequate compensation."
"I'm so sorry," Zhou Xing said apologetically, "I also have a reason why I need the Lingbi Fish. I'm afraid I can't give it to the Saint."
"Young Master should be using the Lingbi Zhenyu to make a deal with Jinglong Alchemy Saint, right? Young Master, can you tell Xi Yu what you want? Maybe I can satisfy it."
Zhou Xing was silent. After a while, he decided to tell the truth: "To be honest, I have been severely injured, my spiritual roots have been damaged, my cultivation has regressed and I can't go any further. I came to Jinglong Dansheng in the hope that he could help me."
I repair my spiritual roots."
"So that's it," Meng Xiyu suddenly realized, "We in Menglan Holy Sect also have holy alchemists. Although they are not as good as Jinglong Alchemist, there are also pills that can repair spiritual roots. In addition, you can also
Make other requests."
Meng Xiyu was sincere enough, and Zhou Xing was almost moved by her, but it was about his own life, and he could not make any mistakes. Mr. Tang asked him to go to Jingshan Danlin, and Meng Xiyu also talked about Jinglong Dan Shengdan Dao.
Those with higher attainments will naturally be given priority.
"Thank you for the saint's kindness, but I still can't agree to you," Zhou Xing thought for a while and said, "Maybe Jinglong Dansheng doesn't need the complete Lingbi Proverb fish, and the saint can still trade with him.
"
"That's all."
At night, many monks from Shimo City and surrounding areas gathered together. Those who could reach the VIP area were either geniuses from major forces or powerful men with great reputations. Ordinary celestial phenomena were not enough to see. Zhou Xing could clearly feel the presence of the people in the VIP area.
In the two rooms to his left and right were powerful men above the sky. They did not hide their aura at all, and their tyranny in the Dharma Body Realm was fully revealed.
"Mr. Zhou, if Xi Yu guessed correctly, you do not have a sect, or at least a strong sect." Meng Xiyu did not leave, but continued to stay in Zhou Xing's box.
A short period of contact and observation revealed a lot of information, "Maybe you are not from Yanzhou."
"Saintess Huizhilanxin." Zhou Xing did not answer directly, but he acquiesced.
Meng Xiyu did not continue to ask, and the auction officially began soon under the auspices of Guan Shanqing.
The first auction item is a sixth-grade elixir called Qing'e Dan. The starting price is 5,000 small medium-grade spiritual crystals, and each increase in price is not less than 100 medium-grade spiritual crystals.
Under Guan Shanqing's flattery, Qing'er Dan was soon sold for 10,000 mid-grade spiritual crystals, and was finally sold for 13,000 mid-grade spiritual crystals.
"How arrogant!" Zhou Xing sighed in his heart. He had just carefully checked his space ring. The middle-grade spiritual crystal was only about two thousand, and the low-grade spiritual crystal was five thousand, which was not even a fraction of the transaction price.
Although the next few auction items were not as good as Qing'er Dan, they still cost thousands of medium-grade spiritual crystals, which were not something Zhou Xing could obtain. As for Meng Xiyu, they were always as plain as water, and nothing could impress her.
"As you can see, this auction item is a golden key, two inches long. It was obtained by our auction house from an ancient ruins. Everyone must understand what the ancient ruins mean. It has been passed down from that time.
Almost all of them are priceless..."
"Deputy City Master Guan, please stop bragging. You must have tried your best to find no use for this key, so you put it up for auction. Just quote the lowest price and we will consider it later."
A rough voice came from a box. The owner of the voice was a peak Dharma Body Realm expert, whose strength was at the same level as Guan Shanqing.
Guan Shanqing was not angry when someone interrupted his introduction, but simply said: "The starting price is one thousand medium-grade spiritual crystals, and there is no limit to the price increase each time."
"One thousand medium-grade spiritual crystals." As soon as Guan Shanqing finished speaking, the man before him immediately spoke, "I will bid first to prevent this treasure from being sold. If you are interested, please increase the price."
"One-armed man, does the failed auction have anything to do with you, why would you be so kind?" asked a slightly older voice.
"Old man with yellow eyebrows, you can bid as much as you want, and no one will stop you?" The one-armed man directly shouted back. The relationship between the two was not good.
"One thousand one hundred medium-grade spiritual crystals." The yellow-browed old man bid.
The one-armed man actually stopped bidding, and the huge auction house suddenly became quiet. Guan Shanqing became excited when he saw this: "Everyone, this has been handed down from ancient times. It has been passed down for at least hundreds of thousands of years. Just its materials alone
It’s so precious!”
"One thousand, two hundred mid-grade spiritual crystals." Someone else increased the price, but only by a mere hundred.
The old man with yellow eyebrows continued to bid: "Fifteen hundred medium-grade spiritual crystals."
This is already a matter of face for him, and his face is much more than that.
The auction house fell silent again. Just as Guan Shanqing was about to announce that the old man with yellow eyebrows had successfully bid, a somewhat familiar voice came from a box that had never participated in the bidding before: "Two thousand medium-grade spiritual crystals."
It was Wenle's friend... In Guan Shanqing's heart, Zhou Xing was quite mysterious. Once Zhou Xing participated, Guan Shanqing really thought for a moment that he knew how to use the golden key, but he was immediately rejected.
At this moment, Zhou Xing was staring nervously at the golden key. He really didn't know what the golden key was for, but he had a key on his body that was exactly the same as the golden key except that it was silver in color. It originally belonged to Master Qing Xian. Maybe
Was he lucky enough to finally unlock the secret?
"Three thousand middle-grade spiritual crystals." The old man with yellow eyebrows said, with a hint of anger in his voice. Forget about the one-armed man, now this young boy who just appeared out of nowhere has come to intervene, right?
Do you take him seriously?
well.
Zhou Xing smiled bitterly, there was a huge gap between himself and these people.
"One thousand high-grade spiritual crystals." A faint voice sounded beside him. Zhou Xing stared at Meng Xiyu who was bidding with wide eyes. He knew that the other party was bidding for him. She did not show any interest from the beginning to the end, and
This price... the comparison between people is so irritating!
Not only the old man with yellow eyebrows, but also the one-armed guest and others were surprised. One thousand high-grade spiritual crystals can be exchanged for ten thousand mid-grade spiritual crystals, but basically no one will exchange them. One thousand high-grade spiritual crystals are worth much more.
Guan Shanqing immediately recognized Meng Xiyu's voice, and immediately announced without waiting for anyone else's reaction: "Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Box 17 for taking this treasure, let's take a look at the next lot..."
"Thank you, Saint." Zhou Xing said sincerely. Now he has no idea of receiving no reward for nothing.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I took the golden key. If you want it, you can exchange it with a treasure that makes my heart beat."
Zhou Xing was at a loss for words. Apart from the Lingbi Zhenyu, there was nothing in him that could impress Meng Xiyu. Maybe the two major techniques could, but they were both impossible to use.
Suddenly, Zhou Xing caught a glimpse of a playful look in Meng Xiyu's eyes, and suddenly realized how a dignified saint from a religious sect could play such a trick. It was just a joke, but he didn't expect that Meng Xiyu had such a side...
The next day, Meng Xiyu, Zhou Xing, and Chen Wenle left Shimai City together. With Meng Xiyu there, no one with a bad eye showed up, which saved Guan Shanqing a lot of trouble.
It's just that Chen Wenle originally thought he could ride Qingluan with the Saint, but was kicked away by Qingluan in disgust, which made him depressed for a long time.
Zhou Xing and Chen Wenle rode the tiger leopard sent by Guan Shan Qing on the ground, and Meng Xiyu sat on the Qingluan. The three of them arrived at Jingshan, thousands of miles away, that day.
Jingshan Mountain stands tall, straight into the sky. There are cliffs and rugged rocks everywhere. Very few plants are growing tenaciously among them. However, the mountainside above a thousand meters above sea level and below a thousand feet below is lush and green, with smoke and gurgling streams.
, like a fairyland on earth, this is Danlin.
Danlin is the residence of Jinglong Dansheng, who is famous throughout Yanzhou. No one dares to act arrogantly here. Even people from the major dynasties and holy religions have to respectfully follow the only mountain road at the foot of the mountain to Danlin.
, dare not fly over.
Leaving their mounts at the bottom of the mountain, Zhou Xing and the other two people walked up the rugged mountain road. When they approached Danlin, a figure appeared in front of them.
Some people immediately recognized Meng Xiyu, but did not come forward. They just stood there and greeted her warmly. Most of them were not qualified to interact with Meng Xiyu, and their strength and status were far apart.
But there were also people who were equally extraordinary. A young man with a tall body and a handsome appearance came over with a smile and said, "Xi Yu, long time no see."
"I've met Prince Yang, but I hope you won't call Xi Yu that way next time." Meng Xiyu said with a smile. She always called herself "Xi Yu", and she didn't like it when others called him that. It seemed too close.
The young man was not angry, but turned his gaze to Chen Wenle next to him: "Cousin, I admit it right, I didn't expect to meet you here. The last time we met was when I went to Chenxu Dynasty to celebrate my birthday four years ago."
"Yes," Chen Wenle said with a smile, "You were not the crown prince of the Tianyang Dynasty last time we met!"
"Hahaha," the young man seemed not to have heard Chen Wenle's words, and said to Zhou Xing: "The one in this hand is the Lingbi Proverbs Fish that Jinglong Dansheng needs. It's a pity that I didn't arrive yesterday.
Otherwise, you can see what it is like to cut off the beard of a saint."
"It's just luck." Zhou Xing said lukewarmly. This person had a bad relationship with Chen Wenle. Based on Chen Wenle's temperament, it can be concluded that this person is not good.
At this time, a child with red lips and white teeth and two buns came out from the depths of the bamboo forest and said to everyone: "Everyone, please come with me."
After the child finished speaking, he turned around without caring about the identities of the people.
Everyone thought it was natural and followed the child into the bamboo forest.
Zhou Xing learned from Chen Wenle that the young man's name was Yang Shangjie. The Chenxu dynasty was adjacent to the Tianyang dynasty. The sister of the emperor of the Tianyang dynasty was married to the emperor of the Chenxu dynasty. Chen Wenle and Yang Shangjie also had a relationship.
kinship relationship.
The boy led everyone into a spacious thatched house, and saw a painting three feet long and one foot wide hanging inside. There was a short sword drawn on it, but the lines were curved and the ink was uneven, as if it was just a child's painting.
Random doodles.
The child pointed at the painting and said, "You just draw according to it. When the painting is finished, I will show it to the master. The five people who are most similar to the painting can go to see the master."
"What kind of weird request is this?" Zhou Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't see any mystery about the dagger in the painting. Others didn't question it either. Instead, they stared at the painting and immediately started thinking. Obviously, they knew Jinglong Dan.
Saint's way of doing things.
Zhou Xing took a step forward and said, "I am here with the Lingbi Proverbs. I wonder if I can directly ask to see Senior Alchemy Saint?"
The kid glanced at him, stretched out his chubby little hand and said, "Give it to me."
Zhou Xing had no doubt that he was there, and immediately handed the jade vessel containing the Lingbi Mengyu to the child. Only then did he realize that this little guy was already in the Lingwu realm, but his aura was not very solid.
The child held the jade and looked inside to make sure there was no mistake, and then said seriously: "Even if you brought the Lingbi Monkey King, you still have to imitate the painting."
After saying that, the child walked directly out of the back door. The smoke was thick in the depths, and his figure was suddenly blurred.
Zhou Xing's mouth twitched. What a big deal. The key is that he is not even qualified to refuse. He hopes that he can meet Dansheng Jinglong even if his painting is poor.
