As time goes by, the virtual sky barrier in the eastern part of the Great Yuan Dynasty becomes more and more fragile under the impact of the chaotic tide of heaven and earth.
Although Jindan Zhenren still cannot enter, some ordinary foundation-building monks can also try to cross that layer of sky barriers and enter the inanimate realm to look for opportunities.
Gradually.
The territory of Dayuan began to become a mixed bag.
There are Taoists from various sects and even Xudan monks who are only one step away from forming a pill. These existences are almost invincible in the Great Yuan. Except for Chen Mu, it is difficult for any warrior to match them.
There are also some ordinary monks who are capable of stepping into the foundation building level, and are even weaker than some masters of the third level of martial arts. They are far from being able to run rampant in the Great Yuan territory.
More monks entered the territory of Dayuan, but the ripples caused in various places were not as good as when the first group of monks entered.
On the one hand, warriors and even ordinary people have gradually become aware of the existence of monks. On the other hand, due to Chen Mu’s real-life Dharma intention, Taoists from various sects with profound backgrounds are unwilling to get into trouble, let alone some ordinary people.
Foundation building monk.
certainly.
Although there is harmony on the surface, so many monks have entered the Inanimate Realm and the Great Yuan Territory, and the waves caused secretly are naturally continuous and cannot be completely eliminated.
Three years passed quietly.
A Xudan monk got the opportunity and tried to break through the barrier between heaven and man, but ultimately failed!
There are also Taoists from the sect who got the opportunity to step into the Xudan realm in one fell swoop, reaching the pinnacle below the real person and only one step away from the real person.
…
The Southern Region of the Great Yuan Dynasty.
somewhere.
This is a mountain range that looks unremarkable on the surface, but after entering along one of the caves, you can find that there is a cave inside, which is an extremely open and huge cave.
In the huge cave inside the mountain, dozens of figures were gathered at this time. Each of these figures had different auras, but all of them were monks.
at this time,
The eyes of many monks are focused forward.
There was a raised stone platform in the cave. On the stone platform was a monk wearing a monk's robe and a bull-head mask. He turned over his hands and took out a jade box.
"Next is the seventh item..."
The monk wearing a cow-head mask spoke in a calm tone and gently opened the jade box. Inside the jade box, a blade of grass that was as clear as ice crystal was revealed, emitting a little bit of cold mist.
After showing it to everyone for a moment, he immediately closed the jade box.
"Thousand-year Ice Spirit Grass, I don't need to say more about its effects. It is extremely effective in practicing ice-cold spells and can greatly reduce the difficulty of practice. It is also one of the main materials for refining Ice Condensation Pills."
"The base price is one hundred medium-grade spiritual stones. The one with the highest price will get it."
After a brief silence in the field.
Immediately, a monk in black robes said in a deep voice: "One hundred and twenty spiritual stones."
"one hundred thirty."
A monk wearing a bamboo hat spoke out.
"one hundred forty."
A monk wearing a mask beside him spoke calmly.
This thousand-year-old ice spirit grass was quite popular, and a total of five monks bid on it. Finally, it was bought by a monk wearing a bamboo hat for 220 middle-grade spiritual stones.
Next.
The eighth item, the ninth item...
One after another, monks made bids and were bought one by one. Almost all of them were various kinds of spiritual objects from heaven and earth. Among them, the most valuable ones were even sold for thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones.
Somewhere in a corner.
A figure wearing a black cloak had never made a bid since the beginning of the auction. He just looked at the various items that appeared at the auction with interest.
Under the black cloak is a pretty face, with a little agility between the brows, it is Chen Yao.
The aura on her body was clearly at the level of foundation building.
Before the foundation was established, there were almost no major changes in the way of monks and martial arts. Therefore, Chen Yao, who was at the fifth level of martial arts, had almost no major obstacles to switching to the way of cultivation.
It originally took her three years to reach the fourth level of martial arts, but now she has completely embarked on the path of a monk and entered the realm of foundation building among monks.
She learned about this auction by accident.
Although she had nothing to sell and didn't know what she wanted to buy, she was still interested in the monk's auction, so she ran over to participate.
During this half-way trip, she had indeed seen a lot of things and gained a lot of knowledge, but she didn't have half of anything like spiritual stones, so she could only look at everything but couldn't afford it.
She was familiar with the spirit stone thing. It was called crystal spirit jade in Dayuan. It was a special kind of jade. When worn by mortals, it had the effect of curing diseases and eliminating evil, and the output was quite large.
Being able to be used as currency for monks, I'm afraid it can have other uses than just curing diseases and eliminating evil.
I can do some research after I get back.
Chen Yao pondered in her mind.
After all, the inheritance of the monks in Dayuan has been cut off for too long, so that many things that are common knowledge among monks in the outside world are completely unknown to Dayuan.
Just like her, she seems to be a foundation-building monk from the outside world, but as long as she talks to other people for a few more words, the secret will be revealed immediately.
When I was thinking about the spiritual stone.
Another voice came.
"...the seventeenth item."
After the masked monk standing on the stone platform read these words, he suddenly walked off the stage. When he came back, he brought with him a young woman bound by a golden rope.
The golden rope seemed to be a magical weapon. It not only bound her, but also had the effect of confinement, making the bound woman unable to move except for her eyes.
The woman's eyes were full of anger, her body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to be mobilizing her true energy to struggle, but she couldn't get rid of the shackles of the golden rope.
"The pseudo-Taoist warrior unique to the Inanimate Realm seems to be in some kind of fourth-grade inhuman state... Well, he is already an innate body, and his state is equivalent to a small foundation building, full of energy and blood, a virgin, and a good harvesting cauldron furnace
.”
The masked monk explained a few words casually.
When many monks heard this, they were not too surprised. They only looked at the woman imprisoned by the golden rope with their eyes casually.
Chen Yao, on the other hand, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at the woman on the stage in astonishment.
She was not surprised that a living person was put on the stage for auction as an item. The sale of slaves and maids was not prohibited in Dayuan. What surprised her was that she knew the woman who was put on the stage for auction.
Zhen Ruoyan.
Yuan Tianwei Zhenfu Envoy!
I met her a few years ago when she was still a Qianhu member of Yuan Tianwei. At that time, I had not yet broken through to the fourth level of martial arts, and I had traveled with her several times.
Later, she returned to Kyoto and had no contact with her again. She only heard that Zhen Ruoyan had also broken through to the fourth level, was promoted to the governor of Yuan Tianwei, and was transferred to Jiaozhou.
This time she went out for training and came to Jiaozhou. She originally wanted to talk to Zhen Ruoyan, but she heard that Zhen Ruoyan disappeared half a month ago. Unexpectedly, she appeared here and attended the monk's auction!
"this……"
Chen Yao was stunned.
And at this time.
Zhen Ruoyan also noticed Chen Yao wearing a black cloak in the corner. Because Chen Yao was not wearing a mask, although her aura was the same as that of many monks, her face was still recognized by her at once.
The whole person was stunned for a brief moment, as if seeing a glimmer of hope in despair, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he soon restrained himself and refused to look in Chen Yao's direction.
Falling into the hands of outside monks, she had already become a little desperate.
If the golden rope hadn't imprisoned her so much that she couldn't move or even commit suicide, she might have killed herself long ago and wouldn't have to endure so much humiliation.
Being reduced to a monk's auction and being auctioned as a so-called cauldron was a humiliation she had never experienced in her life, but now she had no power to resist and could only let the mermaid be eaten.
The only thing I didn't expect was that I would meet Chen Yao here.
Chen Yao must have noticed her. Although she doesn't know how Chen Yao sneaked into the auction of the monks from the outside world, she can't act too strange now, so as not to bring trouble to Chen Yao.
Although her friendship with Chen Yao is far from a life-and-death relationship, Chen Yao will definitely not sit idly by and ignore her affairs, and will at least pass on her news to Yuan Tianwei.
There is hope of rescue.
Although this hope is still very slim.
After all, here are all monks from the outside world, and the strength of the monk who caught her is even more terrifying. She, a fourth-grade warrior, has no power to resist in front of him.
She doesn't know who will fall into the hands of her next. If she falls into the hands of a monk in the Void Core Realm, then looking at the entire Great Yuan, there is only one person who can save her.
That is Chen Yao’s brother,
The heavenly master Chen Mu who rules the world!
However, given Chen Mu's high status, even if he knew about her situation, he might not go there personally for her, a mere fourth-grade warrior.
Over there, Zhen Ruoyan was thinking wildly, but here, Chen Yao's little hands were clenched into fists, she took a deep breath, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Three years.
Three years ago, the monks in Dayuan, no matter where they came from, all obeyed the laws of Dayuan honestly, and the whole world abided by Chen Mu's decrees.
Now three years have passed, and the time for real people from outside the realm to enter is getting closer and closer. These monks who have entered the territory of Dayuan have begun to care less and less about Dayuan's laws.
So much so that even a Yuan Tianwei envoy dared to capture him and sell it as an item!
"She must be the governor of Yuan Tianwei."
Chen Yao spoke slowly.
After saying this, several people who were preparing to bid immediately frowned.
The masked monk on the stage also paused for a moment, then said with a faint smile: "Yes, there is such an origin, but it is not important. Are you worried about the Celestial Master from Dayuan? The real person is about to enter the country, and the Celestial Master will be there soon. If you can't protect yourself, how can you care about these things?"
When some monks heard this, they looked at each other and nodded slightly.
The appearance of a real person in the Inanimate Realm is indeed beyond expectation. Real people have the ability to control destiny. As a real person, if Chen Mu is honest, then few real people in the outer realm will be willing to go to Chen Mu. trouble.
But Chen Mu first killed the Taoist disciples of the Lingtian Sect, and then ignored the majesty of the major sects in the outer realm. He issued a decree that forced all monks in the outer realm to abide by the laws of the Great Yuan, and even tried to restore the inheritance of Taoism in the Inanimate Realm.
After such an operation, more than one real person will be offended, and there will probably be far more than one or two real people who will cause trouble for him.
Even if Chen Mu is a real person, under the current situation, once a real person from outside the country enters the country, it will most likely be a disaster.
Even if I could survive, I'm afraid I would have to be driven out of the Inanimate Realm and hide in the outer lands in a state of disgrace.
now.
The real people are coming soon, and there is really no need to worry about Chen Mu's decree and majesty.
"Two hundred spirit stones."
Finally someone made an offer.
"Two hundred and twenty spiritual stones."
Another person raised the price.
Listening to the sound of quotations coming from her ears, although Zhen Ruoyan could not move, she had gritted her teeth in her heart.
Chen Yao in the corner took out a bead from nowhere, put it to her ear, and whispered:
"This is probably the situation, what should I do?"
"That's it."
Chen Mu's voice came from the other side of the beads: "I'll ask Hanyu to go there... No, forget it, I'll go there, I'll be there soon."
This kind of bead is called the Sound Transmission Bead, which is a commonly used communication tool among monks from outside the world. Now Chen Mu also quickly figured out the refining method and refined several beads.
They were all handed over to those close to them.
call!
When Chen Mu said that she wanted to come over in person, Chen Yao immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt confident.
After putting away the sound transmission beads, I heard that someone had already called the price to three hundred and forty spirit stones.
"Three hundred and eighty!"
Chen Yao suddenly spoke and inserted it directly.
The price of three hundred and forty spirit stones is already a bit high. Even if you buy a foundation-building female cultivator of unknown origin on the black market in the outer world, it will be about the same price.
After all, there are very few monks who start with a skill and then practice all the way to foundation building on their own. Even casual cultivators have more or less certain backgrounds, so buying this kind of female cultivator is risky, and it is very likely that
He provoked something that shouldn't be provoked.
And Zhen Ruoyan was able to get more than 300 middle-grade spiritual stones here simply because she had no origins and was just a native of the Inanimate Realm, so she was considered very safe.
The only trouble that may be caused is from Chen Mu, but now that the real person from the outside world is about to enter the country, even Chen Mu is probably not willing to cause more trouble for a trivial matter.
But no matter how you put it, more than three hundred spirit stones are already very high. Chen Yao suddenly called three hundred and eighty, which immediately silenced the place for a few seconds, and many people even looked over.
After realizing that Chen Yao seemed to be a female cultivator, many cultivators showed some strange looks.
Chen Yao is a female cultivator. It is reasonable to buy a male cauldron. What is the purpose of buying a female cauldron?
"Three hundred and eighty-five."
Someone hesitated briefly and then asked for a higher price.
But Chen Yao immediately said calmly: "Three hundred and eighty-six."
Although they were all surprised that Chen Yao, a female cultivator, wanted to buy a female cauldron, several people vying for it shook their heads. The price was completely too high.
"Three hundred and eighty-six, deal."
The masked monk spoke calmly.
He did not take Zhen Ruoyan down anymore, but let her stand beside him, and then started the auction of a new piece.
Zhen Ruoyan glanced in Chen Yao's direction, blinked, and showed a worried look.
But Chen Yao gave her a reassuring look in return.
Then he looked at the stage with an indifferent expression and heard the masked monk introducing the next item for auction.
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones."
"Two hundred and five."
As soon as the words were spoken over there, Chen Yao started bidding.
Soon, a new item was auctioned for three hundred and sixty spirit stones.
Then the third one, the fourth one...
Starting from the third item, some people gradually realized that something was wrong, because Chen Yao's bidding had begun to be random.
"Little girl, that's not what you asked for, and I suspect that you may not have that many spiritual stones on your body."
"Are you trying to cause trouble on purpose?"
After Chen Yao took pictures of several more items, someone finally looked at Chen Yao with an unkind expression.
Chen Yao said leisurely: "Why do you say that? I just have a lot of spiritual stones. No matter what price you ask, I will just give you one more spiritual stone."
This sentence fell,
The masked monk also looked slightly cold and said: "Your Excellency, please don't cause trouble. This will make it difficult for us."
Chen Yao stood up, lifted up her cloak, smiled, showing her white teeth, and said:
"It's difficult to do it? I think it's better not to do it!"
The voice fell.
She lightly stamped her feet, and a burst of true energy burst out instantly, shattering the rocks under her feet and spreading in all directions.
