Seeing that the midfield free auction was about to end, Shi Tingtao arrived belatedly and entered the private room.
??"Brother Shi, must he be delayed for something? Why did he come so late?
??A lot of good stuff came out today that is useful to us. It would be a pity to miss it..."
??Waving for the two women to leave temporarily, he took away a storage bag of spiritual stones and transferred them to the command talisman. Xie Duanyang then asked.
??"What can I do? I just checked the accounts in the store.
??What’s more, I didn’t really need anything during this trip. I just wanted to find a few spiritual objects and a few bottles of elixirs to increase my cultivation.
??The auction lasts for seven days, how can I still buy..."
?? After adjusting his clothes and sitting down next to him, Shi Tingtao explained casually.
??Xie Duanyang knew what spiritual object he was looking for.
??Since the foundation of Hanou Island was established, it has been firmly in the hands of the Shi family.
??It’s not that his family’s bloodline is so great. Generation after generation, they can ensure that their descendants can form pills.
??But while it is spreading its branches and leaves, it is not closed off. It will regularly select talented people with outstanding qualifications from the casual cultivators and accept them as disciples. They may even marry them as clan girls and join their wives' families.
??If no one of his children or grandchildren is able to form an elixir, but one of his disciples' husband-in-law has a chance, he will most likely be in charge of the Hanou Island lineage.
??However, at that time, the surname must be changed to Shi under the witness of many close monks, otherwise he would rather be expelled from the family.
??To avoid internal strife and power grabs on the island after the elder island owner passes away.
??If you really dare to go back on your word and violate your oath, it will be unfair and will give other monks a reason to intervene in the fight for the island.
??Relying on these, although there are occasional ups and downs, it is still passed down relatively smoothly.
?? Among the descendants of Tingtao at that time, there was a son, a daughter, and a son-in-law.
??The qualifications are quite outstanding, and they have all reached the late stage of foundation building. They have practiced fake elixirs and have some hope of forming elixirs.
??The main purpose of his visit this time is to collect a few more spiritual elixirs to increase the chances of the three of them becoming elixirs.
??And Ling Tianfei, who entrusted Xie Duanyang to refine it, was also prepared for them in advance.
??It doesn’t matter who you are, as long as you can form the elixir first, you will immediately have a natal magic weapon without any effort, saving you a lot of hard work.
??The Hundred Islands Alliance has a great cause, and the spiritual objects needed to form elixirs are not that rare for them and are available for sale all year round.
??In contrast, the control over Foundation Establishment Pills is stricter.
??The effects of those sold in shops outside are not very good, but there are often some real spiritual objects in auctions.
??Ordinarily, these things should also be placed in the foundation building field.
??However, some spiritual objects that can help monks form elixirs, such as thousand-year-old herbs, are also extremely thirsty for elixir-forming monks.
??Relying on the cultivation and sale of spiritual pets, Hanou Island can be considered relatively wealthy.
??But even so, when he took the two pictures, he also felt a little pain.
??Other foundation-building monks who don’t have the support of a force behind them really can’t win.
??With Qi beside him, Xie Duanyang's actions are much more restrained than in the first half. He often only opens his mouth to participate in the bidding when he sees something he really needs.
??After looking at him for a while, I saw that he was indeed not very wealthy. Shi Tingtao blinked and suddenly spoke.
"The items in the mirage auction are good, but there are too many people participating, and the prices are raised too high, which is very unfriendly..."
??Xie Duanyang heard the elegant meaning of the string song and immediately understood it, stroking his hands and smiling.
??“But are there any underground auctions nearby?”
??This kind of thing is simply not normal.
??After all, the trade fair here has attracted so many alchemy monks and Nascent Soul masters, so naturally some people see business opportunities and are unwilling to miss the opportunity.
??Even, maybe the powerful figures in the Hundred Islands Alliance organized themselves.
??Otherwise, this kind of behavior is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth of the Hundred Islands Alliance.
??"Brother Zhang really understands everything.
??There are several underground trade fairs, but for us, there is only one that is really worth visiting."
??Shi Tingtao also laughed heartily, casually put out a soundproof cover, and then handed over an invitation card from his sleeve.
??"The reason why I have been delayed for a long time because of my brother is because of this thing.
??They always send invitations to all the shops on our island on time every year, and this time I went to ask for more."
??After receiving the jade invitation, Xie Duanyang was about to open it when he felt spiritual power activated on it, as if he wanted to absorb a bit of his own breath.
??According to what Tao said, this is a common practice. It is considered a heavy-duty anti-counterfeiting process. After many years, no problems have been seen.
??But Xie Duanyang is used to being cautious, but he is instinctively careful.
??The expression remains unchanged, but the mana is activated.
??It seems to be running its own gold-melting magic, but in fact it secretly forces out the blood river flag energy machine to penetrate it.
??He did it cleverly. Shi Tingtao was right next to him, but he didn't find anything.
??No one would associate it with himself as the practitioner of Zhu Rong Tang.
??After doing this, Xie Duanyang put away the invitation and listened to him introduce the relevant information of the underground trade fair to him.
??Here in the Hundred Islands League, the trade fair will be held for seven consecutive days.
??Every day from morning to evening.
??As for the underground auctions, there are only three, one day apart.
??It starts at midnight and ends in the early morning, which is exactly the same as the time at the mirage.
??And there is no difference in cultivation level. Dan Jie and Nascent Soul are in the same field.
??Occasionally, there are even a few foundation-building monks with powerful hands and eyes who will get invitations and get involved.
??However, this kind of person usually has a strong background, or is simply a Yuanying old monster in disguise, so it should not be underestimated.
??The auction items in the underground trade fair, demon elixirs, elixirs, etc. are basically the same as those in Mirage.
??But magic weapons, materials, etc. are often much cheaper, and may even be only 50, 60, or even 40% of the market price.
??The reason is very simple, there are many stolen goods with shady origins.
??In the East China Sea cultivation world, monks fight with monsters and beasts all year round, competing for the island's spiritual veins. They are more aggressive than inland, and robbery cultivators are also more rampant.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!?? Every year, many monks die in mysterious circumstances.
??You can use all the elixirs and basically keep them at home to take them.
??However, there are many magic weapons and the like that can be cleared and exchanged for spiritual stones through this mixed underground auction channel.
??According to what Shi Tingtao said, over the years, there have been many incidents where monks found the relics of their relatives and friends appearing in underground auctions.
??The reason why Qin Wusheng furiously killed all the creatures on the island seems to be related to this.
??However, being able to do this kind of business near Fuzhou Island naturally has the support of several Nascent Soul masters.
??Even if he is also a Yuanying master, it is difficult to overthrow him.
??At best, the host can give an explanation in private.
??So after doing this many times, I basically have an unspoken rule that I know very well.
??The stolen goods sold here only involve Jiedan at most, and the trade fair party guarantees that the identity of the information will not be leaked.
??But if you are approached by the Yuanying old monster, the organizer will at most guarantee that you will not be beaten to death on the spot. If you leave this door, you will be at your own risk.
??As a result, the number of blood-stained events at the venue has been greatly reduced, and has not happened for more than ten years.
??In contrast, there is another thing that requires more vigilance.
??Many tribulation cultivators came over and took advantage of this opportunity to sell stolen goods. If they discovered the fat sheep, there was no guarantee that they would not have to do their job again.
??Listening to these, Xie Duanyang couldn't help but marvel.
??Although the transaction on Fuzhou Island was a little riskier, he still wasn't too worried.
??The things that are most likely to cause trouble are those magic weapons that are left without an owner after the owner dies.
??But I am the one who doesn’t need these things the least.
??As for what Jie Xiu is about, as long as the old monster Yuanying doesn’t take action, he is relatively confident that he will escape unscathed.
??What’s more, Shi Tingtao was only in the early stages of forming a pill, and he had participated in it many times and was still alive and well.
??The second half ended quickly during the conversation between the two. He did not return to the cave, nor did he practice.
??Many monks who had not been able to see them in the past few days came to the private room to sit for a while and chat, to make themselves familiar.
??Xie Duanyang did not refuse, he talked and laughed, and there was a strong tendency to make friends all over the world.
??However, he also gained something, and found several needed elixirs. The progress was faster than he expected.
?? Knowing the existence of the underground trade fair, he became more conservative in his actions at the auction the next day, and only took two items of weapon refining materials in total.
??Once it was over, Xie Duanyang and Shi Tingtao followed the flow of people and walked out of the mirage.
??After leaving the no-fly zone, set up the escape light and head east.
??Except for them, there are nearly a hundred escaping lights in front and behind, flying slowly or quickly under the moonlight. It is obvious that everyone has the same purpose.
??After escaping for more than three hundred miles, we finally arrived at the location marked on the invitation.
??It is not an island, but a palace that was built with the help of several natural coral reefs. The bottom half is hidden in the sea water, which is quite strange.
??Although it is just a temporary building, it can still be called luxurious, and even in terms of splendor, it is even inferior to a mirage.
??Sapphire is used as the pillars, white jade is used as the steps, and colored glaze is carved on the green lintel.
??The bead curtain hanging in front of the palace gate in front of them was made of thousands of pearls as big as dragon eyes, and it was dazzling.
??Xie Duanyang is good at refining weapons, and his attainments in formations are also quite high.
??But it can be seen that this bead curtain is not to show off, but a powerful magic weapon, which seems to have many magical functions such as protection and detection.
??Even if Nascent Soul strikes with all its strength, I'm afraid it won't be able to destroy it.
??The entire palace together is worth less than a fraction of that.
??What a pity, it is the magic weapon of some old Yuanying monster.
??"Brother Zhang, you and I will break up first and then meet at the door when it's over."
??More than ten miles outside the palace gate, Dunguang stopped and Tingtao turned around and said.
??Xie Duanyang would not refuse. He took out a cloak from his storage bag and put it on his body, leaving only his two eyes exposed.
??Nodding at him, Shi Tingtao raised his light again, went to the palace gate, took out the invitation and raised it.
??The spiritual light fluttered down from the bead curtain, swept over the invitation, and let it in without blocking it.
?? He did not go in immediately, but stopped outside for half a quarter of an hour. Seeing three more monks entering the same way, Xie Duanyang calmly handed out the invitation.
??Use the method at the same time to change your breath, face, body shape, etc.
?? Inside the palace gate, two rows of maids and boys had already been lined up. Even though the clouds around him were misty and he appeared and disappeared in strange ways, there was no surprise on his face.
??"It's you who will lead the way for me."
??Choose a maid at random, Xie Duanyang threw out a spiritual stone and said in a hoarse voice.
??The palace does not seem to occupy a large area from the outside, but if it is only used for auctions, it will be very spacious.
??The path is also very complicated with twists and turns, making it look like a real palace.
??He knew clearly in his heart that this was because a powerful formation was set up inside and outside the palace.
??If you don’t follow the path of survival that has been left and cause changes in the battle situation, you are not being stubborn.
??Slowing down, Xie Duanyang secretly remembered the path in his heart, and at the same time activated the Taixu Mirror to try to deduce and analyze its changes.
??By the time we arrived at the main hall that serves as the auction house, two quarters of an hour had passed.
??Fortunately, the number of monks is not very large, only about sixty, occupying about one third of the seats in the hall.
??Looking around calmly, he sent the maid away and then chose a seat near the corner to sit down.
??Most of the monks in the field used cloaks and masks, or used magic to hide their faces.
??Only a small number of them probably rely on their superior magic power and have no hidden identities.
??Among them, there are three people with the most special aura, and there is a large space around them.
Except for one or two disciples, no one dared to be near him.
??There is no doubt that they are all Nascent Soul characters, and they are the kind of people with bad tempers.
??Without spending any more time on them, Xie Duanyang looked away, seemingly closing his eyes and adjusting his breath, but in fact he continued to deduce the formation restrictions.
??Also half an hour passed, and before the remaining half of the seats were filled, the auction started as soon as midnight came.
??Similar to the Mirage Fair, the first auction item is a rare masterpiece.
??"The eggs of a fifth-level red-trained python."
?? Carefully taking out a beast egg with bright red lines, the old man in black robe on the auction stage said lightly.
??When Bing Wanzhou wanted to buy the black turtle inner elixir, Xie Duanyang used the red python to deal with it.
??This kind of monster possesses part of the dragon bloodline, so it is relatively close in terms of blood relationship.
??When you reach the eighth or even seventh level of cultivation, you can hope to refine your bloodline and transform into the body of a dragon. What's more, this python has a rare fire attribute overseas.
??So the value is much higher than that of ordinary monsters.
??Although the venue was mostly filled with masters of alchemy, after hearing the auctioneer’s words, the hall couldn’t help but become noisy and noisy.
"Red Python?!
Fellow Taoist, what you said is true. It is difficult for this kind of monster to lay eggs. Its temperament is extremely strong.
