The surroundings were dimly lit and had a mysterious atmosphere.
It is said that behind this store there are big forces related to auctions, and they often have some good things on hand. Of course, not only are the prices not cheap, but there are also some problems with their provenance.
The manager of the secret shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi refining.
Seeing Aaron's disguise coming in, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Railway friends... I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After the two sat down, the shopkeeper continued: "About the inherited classics such as alchemy, weapon refining, formations... Even if they are first-level, they are extremely precious things. If it were not for the regular books that lasted for more than ten years fifty years ago,
Demons are fighting, countless small families and sects have been destroyed, and some inheritances have been scattered... It’s something you don’t even have to think about.”
"..." Aaron remained silent, waiting for the shopkeeper's next words.
Even, some joy suddenly emerged.
It's not dead, but there seems to be hope?
"However, after many inquiries in our store, we know that there will be an alchemy inheritance for sale at the auction in the near future. Even if it is only the first level, it should be enough for fellow Taoists, right?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Well, what then?"
The expression of the black-faced man transformed by Aaron remains unchanged.
"Regarding the 'Demon Flame Art', it is a unique spell of the Black Blood Sect... The Black Blood Sect has always strictly controlled Taoist soldiers. It's difficult, it's difficult..."
The shopkeeper sighed: "Fortunately, during the war, Qingding Sect also captured many demon flame monks, and even searched souls and asked for secrets, trying to deduce the flaws of the spell... So there are still some ways. However, this spell damages Shou Yuan.
It’s extremely serious. Could it be that your Taoist friends are preparing Taoist soldiers for your family or sect?”
He looked at Aaron with a somewhat inquiring look.
But Aaron's expression was cold: "If Mr. Tie wants to buy any spells, do I have to explain the cause and effect to you?"
"Of course this is unnecessary, but our store has not received the 'Devil Flame Technique' spell. However, we have heard that this spell was also sold at the subsequent auction."
The shopkeeper took a sip of tea with a smile.
'I seriously suspect that the organizer of that auction is you... deliberately putting good things in the auction to raise the price!'
Aaron cursed in his heart and sighed: "It seems that Mr. Tie is going to return in vain today, so say goodbye!"
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
The shopkeeper put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "Although Taoist friend can't buy these two items immediately, we still found a magic book in our store. I wonder if you are interested in it?"
'Hearing your words, I want to run away even more...Fortunately, I'm not a god'
Aaron paused: "Say!"
"Our store has just collected a magic technique, which was obtained from a stolen cultivator. It is called 'Qi Condensation Technique'. Once you start practicing this technique, you can cover up the fluctuations of your own magic power. If you practice it to a state of ecstasy, you can even disguise yourself as a mortal.
, immortal cultivators of the same realm cannot see through it."
The shopkeeper smiled and said.
"Oh? This is good, but can it only be hidden from people of the same level?" Aaron became interested.
"This is natural. If the skill is a big difference, the foundation-building monk's consciousness will be able to see everything at a glance."
The shop owner smiled and said, "What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
"Okay, here's a copy of this spell and an invitation to the auction."
Aaron made a struggling expression before speaking.
…
Half a month later, ‘Little Futang’.
As soon as Aaron lay down on the armchair, he saw his new clerk Lin Yuanping coming over: "My boss... I would like to take a few days off."
"What to do?"
Aaron asked without raising his eyes.
"I made an appointment with some fellow Taoists to explore an ancient cave." Lin Yuanping's face was full of excitement.
‘Download a dungeon? It’s such a popular thing, but I don’t think I’ve ever done it once?’
Aaron touched his chin and immediately shook his head: "Are you a wolf or a dog?"
"Ah? Boss, what does this mean?" Lin Yuanping asked confused.
"The wolf is a proud animal. It only eats the meat it hunts... and is not like a dog, which eats any carrion on the roadside!"
Aaron began to pour chicken soup: "The world of immortality is extremely dangerous. You are thinking about the treasures left by your predecessors, and others are thinking about your storage bag... If it were me, I would not pick up the spiritual stones even if they fell on the road.
I will stay away! Because this might be a trap for pirates!"
"My boss means...there might be a trap in this matter?" Lin Yuanping finally understood.
Although my boss may not be right about what he said about wolves, the meaning is that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and you must pay a certain price!
"I'm just saying it's possible, and you can make your own decision for the rest. Anyway, you have to know that once you leave Sanshanfang City, without Sanshanhui to guard you, it's hard to tell what will happen."
Aaron waved his hands and said.
This is also for the sake of some front-end, I would like to mention it a little bit.
If the other party is still rushing to die, then he will not lend a helping hand or anything.
'This is also the sadness of casual cultivators... Just like Old Yutou, you can see yourself in old age at a glance. For that glimmer of hope, you have to risk your life when you encounter an opportunity.'
Aaron estimated that this Lin Yuanping still had some ambitions for spiritual practice and would probably not listen to advice.
Sure enough, the next moment, Lin Yuanping's voice came: "Thank you, boss, for reminding me. I will definitely be careful. Moreover, Qingshan Sanren and Baihe Fairy are both my friends for a long time, so they should be fine..."
"Well, I'm sure."
Aaron agreed and asked Lin Yuanping to retreat.
…
Another month later.
The secret auction in Sanshanfang City was held as scheduled.
The reason why it is secret is because there are many auction items that cannot be seen in the light.
As usual, Aaron disguised himself as a big man named Tie and attended the event in the same low-key manner.
At the auction, a first-level alchemy inheritance did appear, but there were too many competitors.
Facing the Immortal Cultivation Family and Sect, Aaron's few spiritual stones were simply not enough. He was easily crushed and watched helplessly as the inheritance fell into the hands of others.
On the other hand, the auction of the 'Demon Flame Jue' was a little cold. After all, the Qingding Sect prides itself on being righteous and forces casual cultivators to be slaves. The matter of being a Taoist soldier still needs to be taken care of.
Although... it may be secretly cultivating Demon Flame monks, but it will certainly not allow the families below to follow suit.
This resulted in the low price of the ‘Demon Flame Art’, and few monks competed for it. After all, everything that should be available was available, and the side effects were indeed too great.
After Aaron raised the price several times, he won this forbidden spell for the price of 500 spiritual stones.
However, there was no news about foundation-building pills in these auctions, which made Aaron very disappointed.
If you want to use spiritual stones to buy foundation-building pills, you may have to wait for a long time for the opportunity.
Fortunately, he had a long time and could afford to wait.
…
After removing his disguise, Aaron returned to the ‘Little Futang’ in Sanshanfang City from the outside world.
"Master!"
Lin Yuanping stood at the door politely, soliciting customers, with a flattering smile on his face.
His last adventure yielded good results. He discovered a monk's cave where he had perfected his Qi refining, found some spiritual stones, low-level techniques, and two mid-level magic weapons. After selling them, he got a large sum of spiritual stones.
Since then, Lin Yuanping's heart has become wild. At the same time, although he is still respectful, he is secretly criticizing his boss for being a little too cautious.
If a casual cultivator like him doesn't take risks, how can his cultivation improve by leaps and bounds?
