Half a year later, Luo Hong collected the hundreds of intermediate talismans of various types scattered around the table and put them away again. Immediately, two stacks of fifty talismans each appeared on the table.
"Fifty earth escape talismans and water thunder talismans each. At the price of about 300 spiritual stones for each intermediate talisman, selling them is enough to solve my spiritual stone shortage problem."
When selling the talisman this time, Luo Hong did not intend to remain anonymous, but wanted to link the name "Zhuo Bufan" with the identity of the talisman master.
After all, instead of going to great lengths to secretly sell talismans and then be tracked down, it is better to be more upright and establish your reputation as a talisman maker, and reap the benefits of fame.
It's just making talismans, not stealing, so what threat can a talisman maker pose?
After putting the talismans for sale into an empty storage bag, Luo Hong got up and went out. There were still three days before the auction started, and he had to go to Tianhuo's cave to wait in advance.
However, as soon as he reached the door, the master of Hua Pavilion chased him and said:
"Master Zhuo, please stay. There is a senior who wants to meet you."
"Senior? Master Hua Pavilion, please tell me who you want to see me."
Luo Hong frowned. The monks in the pill-forming stage were old and sophisticated, and no one was easy to get along with. Master Tianhuo, who was obsessed with refining weapons and had no other interests in mind, was just a special case.
"Young Master Zhuo also knows that Lanyun Pavilion is an affiliated property of Miaoyin Sect. This time it is the master of Miaoyin Sect who asked me to invite you. Mr. Zhuo, please give me a thin face. If I can't invite you, I will definitely be punished."
of."
Hua Ling'er didn't try to seduce Luo Hong with her looks, but looked troubled.
"Master of Miaoyin Sect?"
Luo Hong's expression remained unchanged, but he became somewhat interested. If he expected it to be true, the master of the Miaoyin Sect should be Zi Ling's biological mother.
"What is this senior doing here?"
"I don't know who this concubine is, but it must be a good thing."
Hua Ling'er shook her head and said that the sudden appearance of the sect master made her very surprised.
"Okay, then I'll see you next time."
Hua Ling'er has helped him a lot in the past three years, so Luo Hong needs to give him some thin noodles.
After Luo Hong agreed, Hua Ling'er's eyes showed a bit of joy, and she took him to the innermost room on the top floor.
The light gauze curtains inside the house, with petals floating unsteadily under the influence of restraint, are quite a bit like a peach blossom fairyland.
It's all flashy and fancy, but not as good as Senior Sister's sword.
Luo Hong was indifferent to this useless arrangement and looked intently at the people in the room.
There are three people in the room at this time, two of them are women wearing light veils, with skin as white as snow and hair as black as ink, standing on both sides, and the middle one is wearing palace clothes, elegant and beautiful woman, exuding the aura of magic power in the early stage of pill formation.
.
After one glance, Luo Hong was a little disappointed. Although the owner of the Miaoyin Sect was outstanding in appearance, he was far inferior to the reputation of his daughter, the Purple Spirit Fairy, who resounded throughout the chaotic sea of stars.
"Master Zhuo, please sit down."
The master of the Miaoyin Sect stretched out his hand to signal Luo Hong to take a seat.
The two people standing beside her immediately started making spiritual tea.
"This Lingpeach tea is a rare and delicious drink. Drinking it can stimulate menstruation and activate blood circulation. It is most suitable for immortal cultivators like Mr. Zhuo who sit for long periods of time and never leave home."
The master of the Miaoyin Sect did not have the airs of a monk in the alchemy stage, and was extremely polite to Luo Hong, a monk in the foundation stage.
Seeing this situation, Luo Hong already guessed the other party's intention, picked up the teacup, took a sip and said:
"Tea is nice, but I'm more concerned about why senior invited me here."
"To be honest, our sect leader would like to invite Mr. Zhuo to serve as our sect's third elder."
Si Yuqing said bluntly.
"Elder? I'm just a foundation-building monk. How can I assume the position of elder?"
Luo Hong's eyes moved slightly and she declined politely.
"Haha, Young Master Zhuo is too modest. Young Master can hold the position of elder of a sect just by refining weapons and making talismans. Not to mention that with Young Master's cultivation level, isn't it just around the corner to advance to the formation of pills?
Young Master, as long as you agree, you can choose one of the two maids from my sect master to be your concubine.
I think the young master must have heard of the wonderful qualities of the female cultivators trained by my Miaoyin Sect since he has been in Tianxing City for so long."
Si Yuqing smiled and spread her hands to both sides.
The two girls standing on both sides immediately took off the veils on their faces, revealing two pretty faces with different styles.
The one on the left is coquettish and shy, arousing people's lust, while the one on the right is cold, arrogant and agile, seductive and conquering.
Both women were stunningly beautiful, but Luo Hong only glanced at them, then turned his gaze back to Si Yuqing and said calmly:
"It's not difficult for me to join your noble sect. As long as the sect leader can come up with one of the things here, I would like to be your guest elder.
As for my concubine...I like peace and quiet, so don’t mention it again, Master."
Although Miaoyinmen's recruitment was unexpected, Luo Hong decided to agree after thinking about it for a moment.
After all, in the past few years in Lanyun Pavilion, Hua Pavilion Master and the others have been busy with every trivial matter, which is indeed very worry-free and labor-saving.
And unlike Tiannan, Luan Xinghai is rich in products, and some rare spiritual objects can be obtained through powerful connections.
Of course, it would be impossible for him to become the official elder of Miaoyin Sect and fight for his life and death.
The most you can do is to be a guest and provide them with the magical instruments and talismans that you refine, so as to enjoy the convenience brought by the Miaoyin Sect.
In addition to these, there is another important reason, that is, Luo Hong has taken a liking to the master of the Miaoyin Sect himself.
"The Jin Xing Qigong practiced by this woman will help me refine the Five Elements Flag in the future."
Luo Hong cursed secretly.
"Young Master is really a person with the same temperament as Tianhuo Taoist Fellow, and the things he entrusts are very similar. Among these top-notch spiritual objects, my Miaoyin Sect does have one, but this object is precious, but it cannot be given away in vain."
Si Qingyu smiled bitterly, associating with such monks who did not like women was the shortcoming of the Miaoyin Sect.
It really does exist. The Miaoyin Sect is indeed a force that is more like a sect and more like a chamber of commerce.
Luo Hong originally thought that he would only be able to get some relevant information at most, but the strength of the Miaoyin Sect was still beyond his expectations.
"I am willing to exchange these talismans, and I will never let the sect master suffer a loss!"
Luo Hong brushed his right hand across the table and took out ten earth escape talismans and water and thunder talismans.
Seeing so many intermediate talismans, Si Qingyu's eyes lit up and he couldn't hide his joy:
"Envoy Fan Zuo, quickly take out the golden silk cloud."
Si Qingyu actually carried Nascent Soul-level spiritual materials with him, and it seemed that he was well prepared to be seduced.
The golden cloud looks like a loose cloud composed of golden filaments, which is very strange.
Luo Hong knew that this golden silk cloud was an excellent material for refining the soft armor magic weapon of the Golden Element and could meet the minimum requirements for refining the Golden Element Flag, so he immediately nodded with satisfaction and put it away.
"In this case, I will be the guest elder of your noble family from now on. I have to rush to attend the auction, so I will take my leave first."
After Luo Hong's figure disappeared from the door for a while, Fan Zuoshi, who was standing by, suddenly said:
"The sect master is just a foundation-building monk, so why don't you use the charm technique to control him? Instead, use the treasure in the sect to win him over and become a guest?"
"Isn't it good, guest? If this person agrees to be the elder of our sect, I, the sect leader, will really have a headache. Fortunately, this person's temperament is in line with the sect leader's expectations.
In addition, Fan Zuozhi, although our sect's charm technique has miraculous effects, it is not foolproof.
If our Miaoyin Sect wants to last for a long time, it is best to be harmonious and make money. Your fiery temper needs to be polished."
Si Yuqing put away the talismans one by one. Her purpose today was to reach a cooperation with Luo Hong so that she could exclusively sell the spiritual objects she refined.
Now that this goal has been achieved, there is no need to do anything extra.
However, Si Qingyu, who was in joy, did not notice the disdain in Fan Jingmei's eyes. She left two Earth Escape Talismans and handed them to the two of them:
"This Earth Escape Talisman is a life-saving weapon. You two can each take one."
"Thank you very much, Master."
The two women responded in unison.
...
Three days later, at the entrance of the huge and magnificent Tianxing Auction House, Luo Hong handed a storage bag to the Xinggong monk who was responsible for identifying spiritual objects and received a number plate.
"Haha, little friend Zhuo, I didn't expect you to have such profound knowledge in making talismans. You actually refined nearly a hundred intermediate talismans in more than half a year. It really surprised me!"
Master Tianhuo felt that Luo Hong was unfathomable more and more. Every time he thought he could see the other person clearly, it wouldn't take long for the other person to refresh his understanding.
"It's just a small skill, it can't compare to the magical skills of my predecessors."
Luo Hong sincerely praised that this fat old man was able to restore the secret magic weapons of each family based on just a few words in the classics. His intelligence in the art of refining weapons was definitely evil.
"Hey, come in quickly. When those old guys who can't stand me come, some trouble will inevitably arise."
Master Tianhuo patted his belly very helpfully. He also deeply admired Luo Hong's intelligence, so Luo Hong's praise was particularly pleasant to his ears.
"Okay, senior, please go first."
This Tianhuo Master is really famous in Tianxing City, and even Xing Palace has to give him some face. After Luo Hong entered the auction house with him, the Dan Formation monks from Xing Palace immediately came to receive them and led them to the box.
middle.
"Brother Gongsun's newly refined Ziji Sword has been appraised by Senior Brother Gong. He was full of praise on the spot, claiming that this sword is bluer than blue and is better than the sword in the hands of Zidian Master of Tianluo Sect three hundred years ago.
A sharp three-pointer.”
After the Star Palace monk sent the two people to the box, he did not turn around and leave. Instead, he gave a thumbs up and praised Master Tianhuo.
"Haha, of course, the thunder crystal stone I use is a rare treasure. If its power is not as powerful as the one from three hundred years ago, wouldn't my reputation be ruined?"
Master Tianhuo put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly.
"Brother Gongsun, have you thought about which treasure to refine next? The Dragon-Slaying Blade from Yelong Island has not been seen for thousands of years. Is Brother Gongsun interested?"
The monk from Xinggong seemed to have a profound meaning.
"I haven't decided yet. I have to see what spiritual materials will appear in this year's auction before I can make a decision. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw."
Master Tianhuo pretended to be confused while pretending to understand, and his expression remained unchanged.
"Haha, I won't bother you anymore. Brother Gongsun, take your leave."
The star palace monk slightly cupped his hands and exited the box.
"Hmph! It's really annoying. If it were a hundred years in the morning, with my temper, I would have to let him get out before he could finish a sentence!"
As soon as Master Tianhuo opened the ban on the box, his face changed instantly, and his face was full of anger.
Luo Hong didn't take it seriously. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood the reason why Master Tianhuo was angry.
Over the years, the magic weapons refined by Master Tianhuo will eventually be sold through various auctions, attracting competition from various forces.
Most of them have been collected by the wealthy star palaces. After all, discovering the secret treasures inherited by the major forces is extremely beneficial to their domination of the chaotic star sea.
After several repeated attempts, Xing Gong actually regarded Master Tianhuo as a tool. On the surface, he was respectful, but in fact, he wanted to exert control over him.
Of course, this control will not be obvious, but by limiting the spiritual materials they obtain and controlling the magic weapons they refine.
As a casual cultivator, Master Tianhuo should have been free and wandering on the avenue of weapon refining, but now that he is constrained by this, he is naturally very angry.
Luo Hong secretly thought: I'm afraid this Ziji Sword was forged by Heavenly Fire under duress.
Tianluo Sect, which inherits this sword, is the most powerful force second only to Xing Gong in the Chaotic Star Sea, and is the target of Xing Gong's efforts to suppress it.
After Master Tianhuo got angry, there was not much he could do about it. He sighed, took out the jug and drank with Luo Hong.
The two of them drank and talked about various things about refining weapons, and the time passed quickly.
When the auction finally started, the wall next to the wine table suddenly swayed like water and gradually became transparent.
Luo Hong was able to have a commanding view of the entire venue. Sitting in the hall below were all monks in the alchemy stage, numbering two to three hundred people.
In order to participate in this grand event, monks from the Alchemy Stage of Luan Xing Sea came from all over to gather here, which fully demonstrated Xing Palace’s dominance over Luan Xing Sea. This is why Xing Palace spares no effort to hold a Heavenly Star Auction every sixty years.
one.
There are more than forty private rooms like the one Luo Hong is in, distributed on the walls of the venue.
Nearly half of them are exclusive boxes for the big forces in Chaotic Star Sea, Yelong Island, the four major business alliances, Tianluo Sect, Sanxianmen, Jiyin Island and Sixth Palace, etc. The rest are used to entertain the old monster Nascent Soul.
of.
At this time, each box was lit up with the forbidden light, and it was obvious that each box had its own owner.
The person who presided over the auction was an elder named Gong from Xing Palace. He had the cultivation level of the late stage of pill formation, had white hair and white beard, and had an immortal aura.
Without too many pleasantries, the old man took out an earth-yellow crystal as soon as the game started and said loudly:
"Turmeric crystal is produced in the desert of Magic Sand Island. It can only be found in the sand thousands of feet below. The material is extremely hard and can hold a large amount of earth element aura. It is the best way to refine earth element magic weapons.
Excellent material.
The starting price for this item is 3,000 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 500. Let’s get started.”
This turmeric crystal is a spiritual material of the same level as the Zhenhai Crystal. However, Luo Hong already had the seven-color earth in his hand, so this item was useless to him, so he leisurely watched the monks at the Dan Formation stage below shouting prices.
Soon, this piece of turmeric crystal reached a frightening price of six thousand spiritual stones.
Luo Hong paid attention to the monks who were bidding. Those who wanted to buy the turmeric crystal must have practiced the Earth Elemental Movement. He wanted to see if he could find a suitable person among them to help him refine the Earth Elemental Flag.
"Huh? That guy...is a bit interesting."
Luo Hong's expression changed slightly, revealing a playful smile.
