In the previous chapter, there was a small bug when Lao Bai called Chen Xi, which has been corrected.
…
The atmosphere was weird, and everyone was in a daze due to shock.
In fact, they didn't know that the Changle Emperor and the rough middle-aged man beside him had gone to Taichu Temple before, hoping to visit the temple owner and ask for advice.
But later, they did not wait for the master of the temple, but they waited for Lao Bai. After some guidance, they completely solved their practice problems. Naturally, they were extremely grateful to Lao Bai and regarded him as a senior master.
Under such circumstances, Emperor Changle couldn't help but feel furious when he saw his child colliding with Lao Bai and speaking so disrespectfully.
Even he, the emperor, had to treat his predecessor with respect, but now he was slandered and humiliated by the children under his knees. This was simply a slap in the face as a father.
But unfortunately, Wen Xinyu and the others did not realize this until now, and they were all filled with shock and fear.
Seeing that Lao Bai was angry and about to say something, Chen Xi quickly stopped him: "Okay, we are not here to cause trouble."
Lao Bai groaned: "If you put aside my previous temper, ancestor, I had to chop this little brat into pieces, and that guy actually wanted to kill ancestor and drink me, it is simply an unforgivable crime!"
As he spoke, he pointed at one of the men.
Whoosh!
Emperor Changle's eyes were as bright as lightning, and he glanced over coldly.
The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and did not need to be reminded. He knelt down on the ground with a pop and kowtowed.
"Coward!"
Seeing this, Lao Bai was speechless and felt very bored.
"Okay, please step back."
Seeing this, Emperor Changle understood that Lao Bai's anger had subsided, and he immediately waved his hand to let Wen Xinyu and others leave, out of sight and out of mind.
"Who is that? Stop, ancestor!"
Seeing that the waiter was trying to sneak away, Lao Bai immediately glared and scolded.
"Senior, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I hope you will forgive me for this..." The waiter suddenly felt as if he was struck by lightning. He knelt on the ground and slapped his cheeks repeatedly, as if he was mourning for his heir.
He looked like he was pleading.
He never thought that this flat-haired beast would be so powerful that even the South China Sea Territory Lord could only treat it with respect.
If he had known this earlier, how could he have dared to be as presumptuous as before?
Lao Bai was originally going to humiliate and ridicule the other party, but seeing that he was frightened into being like this, he was speechless for a while and said impatiently: "Didn't you just tell us to get out? Now, it's your turn to get out."
"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior."
The waiter got up in a hurry and left as if running away.
"Fellow."
Seeing this, Emperor Changle didn't care. He smiled, cupped his hands towards Chen Xi, and said, "I was very offended by what happened before. I hope you can forgive me."
Chen Xi cupped his hands and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty, fellow Taoists, don't worry about it."
Emperor Changle nodded and said with a smile: "Now that the auction is about to begin, I and I will leave first."
After that, he exchanged pleasantries with Lao Bai again, and then turned around and left with the rough middle-aged man.
"Hmph, it's so boring to bully some idiot-like little kids. Ancestor, I was originally thinking of taking the opportunity to kill Emperor Changle as compensation..."
Lao Bai muttered.
"Be content."
Chen Xi glanced at it and was speechless.
At this time, Qian Ancai came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, but his expressions when he looked at Chen Xi and Lao Bai had become different, some were shocked, some were confused, and most of all they were just a look of confusion.
A kind of awe that comes from the heart.
He had already known before that how extraordinary this person and bird were, but he still did not expect that they would be treated with such respect by Emperor Changle, the leader of the South China Sea Territory. This was beyond his imagination.
…
The commotion here alarmed the Nanhai Auction House. A senior manager came in person and apologized frequently to Chen Xi and Lao Bai. Seeing that they no longer cared about each other, he left with peace of mind.
Before leaving, he also ordered two beautiful envoys to personally serve Chen Xi and Lao Bai. This is not a treatment that ordinary people can enjoy.
Obviously, this chief steward must have received instructions from Emperor Changle, and knew clearly not to neglect Chen Xi and Lao Bai.
The atmosphere in the VIP room is extraordinary, and the furnishings are all carefully selected, filled with divine luster.
A glass mirror is set on the wall, facing the auction hall. Everything there can be clearly seen from inside, so that distinguished guests can bid for treasures.
But from the outside, you can't see everything in the VIP room at all, which can be regarded as an excellent protection.
Just when Chen Xi sat down, the auction had already begun. A beautiful woman with a graceful and noble temperament walked onto the auction stage, briefly stated the rules of the auction, and then took out the first treasure.
Immediately, it attracted Chen Xi's attention.
It was a short red halberd, with its whole body flowing like the radiance of a fire god. The arc of the halberd's blade was like a flying fire phoenix, exquisite and dazzling, releasing an astonishing edge.
If you look closely, you will see that it is an innate spiritual treasure!
Not only Chen Xi, but all the cultivators participating in this auction also took a breath and were attracted to it.
Often at the beginning of an auction, an important treasure will be brought out, which is called a "good start". At the same time, a heavy treasure will be brought out and placed in the last link to mark the finale.
Obviously, this innate spiritual treasure is the key to "a good start".
"The name of this short halberd is 'Feihuang'. It is an innate spiritual treasure. It contains a natural source of divine fire and its power is unpredictable." The beautiful woman on the stage gave a brief introduction.
Different from ordinary auctions, the cultivators who can participate are all important figures from all walks of life. They can see the wonders of the Flying Phoenix Divine Halberd without any introduction at all.
"A combat-type innate spiritual treasure with more powerful power than ordinary innate spiritual treasures. It is actually not placed at the end to serve as the finale treasure. It is really surprising."
Many exclamations sounded.
Chen Xi stared at it carefully for a long time, but no longer paid attention to it. This treasure was indeed rare, but unfortunately, it was not suitable for him.
"The auction of this treasure is very simple. The base price is 30 million pieces of divine crystal. Likewise, fellow Taoists can also exchange their treasures for it. The one with the highest price will get it."
The beautiful woman spoke.
Before the voice could finish, a series of quotations were heard in the hall. In no time, the price soared to 59 million divine crystals.
At this point, the originally fiery atmosphere calmed down a little.
Because this price is astonishing enough. Even the big shots would have to think carefully if it were any more.
However, in the end, this "Flying Phoenix Divine Halberd" was exchanged by a big shot for a bottle of extremely rare and astonishingly valuable "Tianmiao Dao Marrow Liquid".
One drop of this "Tianmiao Dao Marrow Liquid" is enough to exchange for millions of divine crystals. It is rare to find. Now, using a whole bottle to exchange for an innate spiritual treasure is already considered a sky-high price. No one here dared to do so anymore.
Bid with it.
This made Chen Xi finally understand why Qian An would tell him before that at this auction, it would be difficult to capture good treasures with divine crystals alone, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Divine crystals, to ordinary cultivators, mean wealth. Naturally, the more the better, but to the big shots here, they are just a bunch of numbers. They cannot be said to be precious, nor can they be said to be precious.
Use the quantity to exchange to get unparalleled treasures.
Soon, the second treasure was displayed on the stage.
It was a sacred plant, placed in a jade box, shaped like a coiled earthworm, with sharp thorns like swords growing on the edge. The whole body was as bright as golden juice poured out, and it was filled with wisps of obscure Taoist charms.
.
When he saw this divine material clearly, Chen Xi's body stiffened suddenly. This was clearly one of the two divine materials he lacked, the "Golden Pattern Thorn"!
This surprised Chen Xi, but it was more of a surprise. He never expected that he would witness this object at the beginning of the auction.
"This treasure is called the Golden Thorn..."
Before the beautiful woman could finish her introduction, there was a burst of laughter in the hall.
"Isn't this one of the magical materials that the owner of the reward order needs?"
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Nanhai Auction House really had a good idea. Instead of exchanging the Ancestral Dao Root, they put this item up for auction. Could it be that they wanted to use this to drive up the price?"
"I know very well that many old guys are eagerly waiting to find a golden thorn to help their children and grandchildren find an ancestral root. Your auction house is good at calculating. The purpose of auctioning this thing is somewhat inappropriate.
It’s so simple.”
Discussions arose everywhere, and it was obvious that even the big shots present here had heard about everything that happened in Linghang City these days.
At this time, Chen Xi was also stunned and curled his lips helplessly. No wonder who in the Nanhai Auction House made him issue such a reward order?
"Since you fellow Taoists know this, it's the best thing. I won't go into details anymore. The lowest bidding price for this object is 15 million divine crystals. It can also be exchanged for other divine treasures. The one with the highest price will get it."
The beautiful woman smiled, no embarrassment at all, and spoke slowly.
"Twenty million."
"Twenty-five million."
"thirty million!"
…
The scene that followed was even more exciting than the auction of the first innate spiritual treasure, which really surprised many people present.
But Chen Xi frowned. If this continued, how much would it cost him to take a photo of this thing?
At this moment, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with the auction house's approach. It was obviously indirectly using him to make profits, but in turn, he, the rightful owner, had to pay a high price, which was really annoying.
But there was nothing Chen Xi could do. He knew that this time he would have to bleed heavily before he could take this thing.
But the scene that happened next made him stunned.
Suddenly, a voice as deep as a bell came from the hall: "Everyone, I am determined to get this thing, and I am willing to pay the price of a Tianhai Yun Dao Stone for it!"
This was clearly the voice of Emperor Changle.
However, what really made Chen Xi strange was that the next moment, another voice sounded: "Hahaha, Brother Wen, I am also determined to get this thing. I wonder if a piece of Kanli Ghost Iron can win this thing?"
This sound was actually made by Emperor Xuanwu.
It can be said that these two emperors have been in contact with Chen Xi, either openly or secretly, but now they are both willing to take action at all costs for a golden thorn.
This made Chen Xi a little puzzled. What kind of trouble were they... going to make?
