As the grand auction held once every ten years in Baize Fairy City approaches, the flow of people in Fairy City has increased significantly.
Even various private exchange meetings are in full swing, and the frequency is much higher than before.
Fang Xi also took advantage of this rare opportunity to get rid of all the eye-catching stolen goods, and the number of spiritual stones in the storage bag increased to 7,000!
After processing the harvest, Fang Xi was in a good mood. She went straight to the stall area where the casual cultivators set up stalls and looked at each stall.
Although he has never picked up a leak, people always have dreams, and maybe they will come true!
"High-grade magic weapons are sold cheaply..."
"Come and see all the specialties of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range..."
Looking along the way, Fang Xi found helplessly that she did not have that fate!
He has dabbled in the four arts of cultivating immortals, and coupled with his divine knowledge, he can basically identify the value of items on the stalls at a glance.
Then I came to the conclusion that there is basically not much possibility of missing something!
"The reason why picking up leaks has become a legend is precisely because it is extremely rare and extremely rare..."
"Forget it, I'll just go to the auction and buy at a high price..."
Fang Xi was preparing to leave.
Suddenly, his eyes moved and he stopped at a talisman stall.
"This fellow Taoist wants to buy talismans? The ones here are all top quality!"
Behind the stall, an old woman in her fifties was selling.
"It's good..."
Fang Xi picked up a 'cold wind talisman' and felt the thick and crisp feel of the talisman paper and the round strokes on it. There was no doubt that this was a fine talisman!
"What's the selling price?"
"The first-grade high-quality cold wind talisman can summon cold wind and freeze enemies. It is a range attack. It sells for twenty-five spiritual stones!"
The old woman quoted the price skillfully.
She has frosty white temples and deep crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but from her facial features, she can faintly see her beauty when she was young.
“If customers purchase five or more tickets, there will be discounts!”
Seeing Fang Xi take out the spirit stone, the old woman quickly added with a smile, which was actually a bit flattering.
'Time is really a butcher's knife...'
Fang Xi looked at this scene and sighed in her heart: 'Fairy Lu Zhi, who used to have a hot personality in Qingzhushanfang City, has now become such a philistine...'
Yes, Fang Xi has already recognized it.
The woman who set up a stall selling talismans turned out to be the widow of the talisman master Chen Ping was pursuing—Lu Zhi!
"When we meet old friends, Fairy Lu doesn't seem to recognize me..."
Fang Xi suddenly chuckled.
He came out this time to go shopping, not to sell stolen goods, so he didn't wear the Mu Taoist vest, but his true identity.
"Um?"
Lu Zhi suddenly raised his head and looked at the young man who looked like an orchid orchid tree, his eyes a little startled and uncertain.
This face was indeed somewhat familiar to her. The powerful memory of an immortal cultivator finally allowed her to find the source of this familiar feeling from her numbness: "Are you... that spiritual farmer in Qingzhushanfang City?"
"Exactly, after a long separation, how do you feel about Lu Dao?"
Fang Xi asked with a smile.
Lu Zhi suddenly felt a little ashamed.
I have wasted many years, and now I am still at the sixth level of Qi refining, and I am old and yellow, but the young man in front of me has an ageless appearance, and his cultivation level is even higher than hers, and he has entered the late stage of Qi refining!
This couldn't help but make Lu Zhidu feel a little more like the world has changed.
"Oh...it's not bad."
At this moment, there seemed to be thousands of words in her chest, but in the end they could only turn into a sigh.
"Oh, I wonder how fellow Taoist Chen Ping is doing? When there was chaos in the city, I could only flee for my life in a hurry, not knowing the whereabouts of others..."
Fang Xi had a regretful expression on her face.
"Yes, you are also Lao Chen's friend... He is now..."
Lu Zhi's face became even more bitter: "I'm doing okay, but I'm busy with important things and can't go out..."
'Oh? It seems that Lu Zhi and Chen Ping have a good relationship. Do you still not know the truth about the blood sacrifice that opened the spirit body?'
When Fang Xi heard this, her heart moved.
"As for Chen Ping's friends, Master Jiu Xuan has passed away long ago, but Di Qi failed to escape the catastrophe and died in the Fangshi chaos..."
Lu Zhi actually knew about Chen Ping's bad friends, which made Fang Xi feel heartbroken.
Master Jiuxuan was lucky enough to escape the chaos in Fangshi, but he could not escape the end of his life span.
And Di Qi was even worse. He fell directly into the chaos in Fangshi. He didn't know whether he was affected by Chiyu or because of his own greed...
"Alas... I have been cultivating immortality for decades, and my old friends are half withered."
Fang Xi sighed and said to Lu Zhi: "If I see Brother Chen another day, please say hello to me."
"mother……"
At this time, a tall man in black came over. His cultivation reached the seventh level of Qi Refining. He had a faint evil aura on his body. He glared at Fang Xi: "Who is this person?"
"It's a former friend of my mother's..."
Lu Zhi shook her head and didn't want to say more: "Have you sent the materials to mother?"
"Of course, they are all here!" The male cultivator in black quickly took out the storage bag.
…
evening.
The casual cultivators who set up stalls closed their stalls one after another, preparing to go back to meditate and practice.
Lu Zhi also put the talisman into his storage bag and walked slowly. When he entered an alley, he saw Fang Xi.
"Friend Lu Dao, what he said during the day seems to have unfinished meaning?"
Fang Xi crossed her arms, as if she had been waiting here for a long time.
Lu Zhi looked around and found no one, so he took a few steps forward and lowered his voice: "Chen Ping said you were his good friend, so I will only believe you once...Chen Ping is in a very bad situation now. He is imprisoned in a certain place.
I draw talismans day and night, and my lifespan is greatly reduced. The deadline is within these two years..."
Fang Xi was not surprised at all by this.
After all, Chen Ping is a blood talisman spirit body and is naturally in tune with the Tao of Talisman. Maybe his talisman skills have been promoted to the second level at this time, and he is really an excellent tool man!
If you meet a big family, you will definitely be squeezed to death!
"But the Qingye Xu family?"
he guessed.
The Qingye Xu family is the force behind Mingqing Pavilion, and Fairy Yunmeng also belonged to this group at the beginning.
Taken together, Chen Ping is most likely to be imprisoned.
"you know?!"
Lu Zhi was startled.
"I have a slight guess. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough, but I can't save this old friend..."
Fang Xi sighed, turned around and left.
He was waiting here just to ask how his old friend was doing.
Chen Ping was pretty good to him back then, and of course he wouldn't mind helping him if he could.
However...he has not yet established the foundation.
And the Qingye Xu family is a foundation-building force, and the gap between the two parties is too big, so he can only say sorry...
Lu Zhi looked at Fang Xi's leaving figure, but did not complain, just sighed quietly.
Even though she is an immortal cultivator, she has experienced a lot of helpless things. This is also the helplessness of life...
…
"Calculating his age, Chen Ping is a little older than me. He spent thirty years of his life to upgrade the forbidden talisman. Now after thirty years, he should be an octogenarian..."
"The life limit for monks in the Qi refining stage is two years, which is about one hundred and twenty years. Why is it suddenly no longer possible?"
"Oh, I forgot that if the Xu family forced him once, they could force him a second time... Could it be that they also forced Chen Ping to upgrade some kind of special talisman, causing his life span to be almost exhausted now?"
Fang Xi couldn't help but feel chilled by the methods used by these foundation-building families.
This is a complete blow to the tool man's bones and marrow!
Yanliu Lane.
"Fellow Daoist Fang, I'm so happy!"
When Fang Xi came to the door, Su Lie happened to see it and immediately stepped forward: "Didn't you ask me to inquire about the exchange meeting? I inquired about one, which was held in a teahouse, and there might be 'Bi Ling Ye' for sale... Of course, the seller
It is said that if the bidding fails to meet your expectations, it will be sent to a big auction."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, and please lead the way so I can meet the seller first!"
Fang Xi was equally overjoyed and hugged her fists.
It's not like he hasn't gained anything in the past three years. As a 'Mu Taoist' in a large business firm, he once purchased ten drops of 'Bi Ling Ye' and a 200-year-old 'Hualong Ginseng'
.
However, the more auxiliary medicine reserves of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the better. Naturally, we cannot give up on this.
He immediately followed Su Lie to the exchange meeting and found the seller.
After a confidential conversation, Fang Xi paid the other party a satisfactory amount of spirit stones and received a small half bottle of 'Bi Spirit Liquid'.
'Well, we've almost finished the biling liquid, and we only have some shortcomings of dragon ginseng left!'
Fang Xi, who was waiting for the big auction, was secretly happy.
He only collects auxiliary materials, which is naturally much easier and less noticeable than those monks who are struggling to pursue the second-level demon elixir.
'Actually, if I exchange it for the second-level demon elixir, I can get all the auxiliary materials in an instant...'
'Naihe... it's too eye-catching.'
Fang Xi's plan to kill demons and obtain elixirs has been being perfected, and she is just waiting for the big auction!
…
After one month.
Fang Xi's incarnation of the 'Mu Taoist' walked into the inner city and came to the large auction venue at the foot of Baifeng Mountain.
"Fellow Taoist, what you are holding is an invitation to the box. Please come with me!"
A maid with a charming smile invited Fang Xi to the second floor of the venue.
There are many high-altitude stands here, overlooking the entire auction venue.
"In the private room, the privacy of the guests is absolutely confidential, and after the guest takes a photo of the collection, he can directly order someone to send it to the private room for transaction..."
While walking, the maid introduced the facilities and rules of the auction venue.
"Not bad... quite humane."
Fang Xi nodded, this Baize Fairy City still considers its customers.
He sat on the chair in the box and waited quietly for the auction to start.
Half an hour later, most of the seats on the first floor were full.
Amidst the loud sound of the gong, a middle-aged monk walked into the venue wearing a purple robe, with a round face and a slightly plump face. He looked very gentle, but his eyes were like a deep pool, and he was not angry or proud.
"This person is actually the host?"
There was a faint commotion in the venue.
"The eighteenth disciple of Master Bai Feng—Ouyang Zhen?!"
Fang Xi looked at this person with the same expectation.
This disciple of the Patriarch of the Pill Formation, whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, can be said to dominate the entire audience!
"Thank you all for coming to support me, this big auction starts now!"
Ouyang Zhen's voice rang in the ears of every monk at the scene: "The first auction item - the middle-grade spiritual weapon 'Biyun Wuyanluo', which can protect the body, escape, trap people, and attack... Starting price
