It's the end of the month, brothers and sisters, if you still have votes, don't forget to vote for Xuan Jie!
………………
That evening, Yilanfang.
Outside an octagonal three-story attic covering an area of several acres, eight red lanterns were hung, and all eight painted red doors were opened.
People from far and near flowed like a river, and a disciple named Lichen Sect, either alone or in groups, came from all directions and entered through the stone steps in front of the door.
At this time, Shi Mu was already sitting in a seat near the front of the hall on the third floor of Yanyue Building.
In the center of the hall is an octagonal purple stone platform with nothing on it.
As more and more people came up the northwest stairs, the hall began to get crowded, and the voices of discussion kept coming and going, making it a bit noisy.
After about an incense burner, when the entire hall was almost full, a white-faced old man in purple robe walked out of the side door and came behind the octagonal stone platform.
"Everyone, I am Lu Ji, who is responsible for presiding over today's Yanyue Tower Treasure Competition. Now that the Kunlun Holy Ruins has been born, and the selection period is approaching, I am afraid that you all hope to improve your strength at the last moment. I believe that the next auction will be
Let everyone return home happily."
The white-faced old man did not introduce much. His words immediately cleared away the noise in the venue and focused everyone's attention on him.
"Without further ado, I would like to present to you the first auction item tonight, a thousand-year-old Purple Night Rose." Lu Ji seemed quite satisfied with the reactions of everyone present, smiling slightly and patting his hands lightly.
For a moment.
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of exclamations in the audience.
Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure in a purple dress walked out of the side door, holding a rectangular carved white jade box in both hands, walked to the octagonal stone platform, and carefully placed it on the octagonal stone platform.
, and then drifted away.
Lu Ji opened the jade box with a snap, and a faint purple mist swayed up and spread out a few feet above the jade box. At the same time, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire third floor.
"Purple Night Qiongzhi Grass is not uncommon in the outside world, but those that are more than a thousand years old are extraordinary. It is the main spiritual material for refining the Purple Jade Resurrection Pill. I remember correctly, the last time the Millennium Purple Night Qiongzhi Grass appeared,
It was more than a hundred years ago. I guess I don’t need to say more about its value, right? Okay, the lowest bidding price for this thing is six hundred top-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price will not be less than fifty top-grade spiritual stones, starting now."
"I will give you seven hundred top-quality spiritual stones." Before the white-faced old man finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up.
"Seven hundred and fifty!"
"I'll pay eight hundred!"
…
Shi Mu listened to the bidding sounds all around him and tapped the back of the chair a few times with his fingers, but there was no bid.
He has also heard the name of the Purple Jade Resurrection Pill. This pill has the function of fixing the soul, and has miraculous effects on retreating and breaking through the realm. It is of extremely high grade, and the refining process is not low and the process is complicated.
If the auction at this moment was for the finished Purple Jade Resurrection Pill, Shi Mu might also join the bidding force. Now, he would naturally have no idea.
The proportion of sorcerer disciples in the Lichen Sect far exceeds that of the other two major holy places, and with the prosperity of alchemy, there is an increasing desire for such alchemy materials. This can be seen from the enthusiasm shown by these disciples for alchemy materials.
"One thousand and fifty top-quality spiritual stones, is there anyone who wants to increase the price?" Lu Ji asked with a smile on his face, his eyes slowly sweeping over everyone.
Although there was still some noise in the entire hall, they were all talking in whispers, but no one started bidding again.
"Okay, congratulations to this fellow Taoist." Lu Ji immediately made his decision and cupped his hands towards a bald middle-aged disciple sitting not far away.
As another beautiful woman brought a new lot, Lu Ji's voice sounded again: "The next lot is extraordinary. It is a magic weapon-level alchemy furnace called the Yangxin Cauldron.
The probability of improving the effectiveness of mid-to-high-level elixirs is about 10%, and the base price is one thousand top-quality spiritual stones."
Shi Mu looked up and saw a bronze tripod being placed in the center of the octagonal stone platform. Circles of runes were engraved on the surface, which looked extremely delicate.
But he only glanced at it and then looked away, obviously showing no interest in it.
But he also knew how attractive a magic weapon-level alchemy furnace was to the disciples of the Lichen Sect.
Sure enough, as expected, as soon as the bidding started, it was immediately robbed.
In just one stick of incense, the price of the Nourishing Heart Cauldron doubled, and the price continued to rise. Finally, it was sold to a sorcerer disciple of Qantian Temple for a high price of 2,700 top-quality spiritual stones.
.
In the following time, several more lots were put up one after another, each time causing a burst of price increases, pushing the auction to one climax after another. The white-faced old man Lu Ji's eyes almost narrowed into slits, and he looked delighted.
appearance.
However, Shi Mu began to feel bored, because although the auction items were extremely rare, almost all of them were related to alchemy or sorcerers, and were of little use to him.
Just when Shi Mu was bored and was about to get up and leave, the figure of the enchanting woman walked up to the octagonal stone platform again and put down a white jade slip in her hand.
"This is……"
"Jade slip, what kind of skill is this?"
Seeing an inconspicuous jade slip being placed on the display stand, the originally warm atmosphere at the scene suddenly came to a halt, and various questions rang out from the audience.
"Everyone, please be patient and allow me to introduce it to you. Everyone guessed correctly. This is indeed a technique, and its origin is not small. It is one of the three major Qinglan Holy Lands that is as famous as my Lichen Sect.
It has something to do with the magical power of creation." Lu Ji paused deliberately when he said this.
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the scene took a deep breath and looked at the jade slips with gradually intense eyes.
Unlike the Li Chen Sect, which is good at refining weapons and elixirs, Qinglan Holy Land has always learned from the strengths of others and is famous for its profound knowledge of martial arts books. It is regarded as one of the three great powers of creation, and is famous throughout the Miyang Star Territory.
Awesome presence.
"The magical power of creation? Could it be..."
When Shi Mu heard this, he immediately became energetic. He sat up straight and looked in the direction of the octagonal stone platform.
"The next item to be auctioned is the fragment of the Nine-turn Mysterious Art, one of the three great powers of creation in the Qinglan Holy Land. The starting price is three thousand top-quality spiritual stones." Lu Ji said loudly.
"What, just a fragment of the scroll?"
"May I ask Manager Lu, what kind of incomplete method is this?" Upon hearing that it was just a fragment of the scroll and the asking price was not low, most people immediately lost interest, but some people still asked.
"This fragment contains most of the formulas for the second, third, fourth and fifth turns of the Nine Turns Mysterious Gong." Lu Ji said.
"Most of the formulas? In other words, they are not complete..." Shi Mu was stunned after hearing this, his purple eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"If you don't even have the first-turn technique, you can't practice it at all. What's the use of this fragment?" said a disciple of Xunfeng Temple with a hurricane pattern embroidered on his sleeves.
"Yes! I also heard that this skill is a bit evil. It is said that once someone reaches the peak of this skill, all those who practice this skill in the entire star field will lose their skill and become nothing more than a wedding dress!"
"Not only that, it seems that only those with the bloodline of heavenly beasts can practice this technique!"
"If this is the case, then what is the use of this technique?"
"You all don't know that the White Ape Ancestor who cultivated this mysterious skill to its peak has been confirmed to have died. Therefore, the momentum of practicing this skill has once again risen in the Qinglan Holy Land. Many talented disciples of the demon clan in the Qinglan Holy Land are here.
Such people are very likely to enter the Kunlun Holy Ruins... You must know that this technique can be called the magical power of creation. Even if it is two or three turns, its power cannot be underestimated. If you can understand it in advance
One or two, if you find its weakness, then..." Lu Ji said with a smile.
However, even with this explanation, Lichen Sect disciples still couldn't arouse their interest in this object.
After all, whether you can finally enter the Kunlun Holy Ruins is a matter of two opinions. If you happen to encounter a Qinglan Holy Land disciple who practices this technique and fight with them, the probability is even smaller.
Rather than spending so many spiritual stones to buy a possibility, it is better to spend it on other more valuable things. After all, no one will think that there are too many spiritual stones.
Completely opposite to the situation in which the previous auction items were snapped up, the Nine Turns Mysterious Skill fragments simply fell into a situation where no one cared about them and were abandoned like worn out shoes.
"Manager Lu, please change the auction item quickly, no one will want this thing." A disciple of Kun Di Guan shouted loudly.
"Yeah, what's the use of such a useless thing?"
There were boos at the scene, and everyone thought that whoever bought this fragment of Xuan Gong would be a fool who had his head kicked by a donkey.
Although Lu Ji's eyes were a little disappointed, it was obviously not the first time he had encountered this situation. There was no trace of panic on his face. He just slowly glanced several times with his eyes, looking for possible buyers.
"Three thousand top-quality spiritual stones, I want them." At this moment, a voice sounded leisurely.
The sound was not very loud, even a little suppressed, but it still reached Lu Ji's ears clearly, causing his ears to tremble slightly.
"Okay, it seems that someone has the foresight! There are three thousand top-grade spiritual stones, but someone is still raising the price?" Lu Ji asked with a happy face.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet, and then there was a burst of surprise and laughter.
"I didn't expect that someone would actually want this thing?"
"Haha... I don't know what kind of senior brother is this, so far-sighted?"
Before anyone could figure out who made the bid, Shi Mu had quietly left the table.
"Since no one has raised the price, the deal is done with three thousand top-quality spiritual stones." After a while, Lu Ji said with finality.
A moment later, in a private room on the second floor of Yanyue Tower, Shi Mu was sitting on a wicker chair. Opposite him, a **** wearing Taoist robes stood in front of him.
On the wooden table, there is an inconspicuous white jade slip.
"May I ask how Guilou obtained the skills in this jade slip?" Shi Mu did not look at the jade slip, but looked at ***** with a calm expression and said.
"The way in which this technique was obtained is somewhat special. You may think that it is just a rubbing collected to study the Qinglan Holy Land technique." **** said. (~^~)
