The layout of Panshi City is somewhat similar to that of Abyss Island overseas in Chu State. It is divided into outer city area and inner city area. Naturally, the outer city area is the same as Abyss Island, which is a city for cultivators.
The inner city has more demonic energy and spiritual energy than the outer city. All of them are caves for immortal cultivators. Except for the core area, which belongs to the three major city lords, all the caves can be rented to the outside world.
If you want to rent a cave in the inner city, you not only need to pay a large amount of spiritual stones, but also join the Loose Cultivator Alliance and regularly perform the tasks of the alliance. Generally speaking, you have much more freedom than ordinary sects and families.
The outer city is divided into four major districts: southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, the auction house occupies the entire west city area. It is a huge circular building with two floors high.
The lower level is very large, covering an area of approximately 1,000 feet and more than ten feet high. It can accommodate thousands of monks. It is like a large closed square. In the middle is a 78-foot-long high platform with a small teleportation tower on it.
Magic circle.
This is the place where Rock City holds its foundation-building auction.
At this moment, monks in the foundation-building stage kept entering one after another. There were gradually nearly a thousand monks in the foundation-building stage in the auction hall. Everyone's face was a little blurry and their faces could not be seen clearly.
Obviously, this day is the Panshi City Auction held every fifty years. Many monks from Xizhou and even from all over Qi State come here to see if they can find some good things.
Of course, there are also many monks who auction off treasures that they do not need to earn other cultivation resources.
As for the auction house on the upper floor, it is different from the lower floor. It is a semi-open-air rooftop with many tea tables and several compartments separated by screens. The closed area at the front is a high platform with the same painted on it.
Small teleportation circle.
At this time, there were already many figures moving in the semi-open-air area. Through the translucent restrictions around them, these people could completely see the clouds and mist lingering around Rock City. The environment was completely different from the lower levels.
The Rock City is filled with powerful air restrictions. Monks in the foundation-building stage cannot use flying magic weapons to take off. Only monks in the elixir formation stage can resist the power of the air restrictions with their abundant magic power.
Naturally, the upper level of the auction house is twenty feet high, so monks in the Dan Formation stage can easily fly up there.
Suddenly, a ray of lavender light came closer and landed outside the restricted entrance on the upper floor of the auction house. The light dispersed, revealing the face of an ordinary young man who had just finished his training and rushed here.
Lu Kun.
He practiced in the rented cave a few days ago, using the Blood Demon Bone Refining Technique to temper his bones. It took him three days and three nights to consume all his mana and magic power. Finally, he hurriedly cultivated to full mana.
Come here.
Not long after Lu Kun landed at the entrance, a young woman with still charming charm walked over. Her magic power was not weak, and she had the fluctuations of the Foundation Building Perfection. She sensed the initial magic power of the pill formation on Lu Kun, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Color, slightly bowed and said:
"Is this senior also here to participate in the auction? The auction will start soon."
Lu Kun said impatiently: "What are the procedures? Hurry up and stop talking nonsense."
The young woman didn't care about Lu Kun's tone, and said neither arrogantly nor condescendingly: "Senior needs to check the spirit stones for me. As long as there are one million low-level spirit stones, senior will meet the entry conditions. I will pay another 10,000 spirit stones."
The cost of stone is enough.”
"You Panshi City are really good at doing business. You can make a lot of money just from the spiritual stone fees from this auction." Lu Kun threw out a storage bag and shook his head.
There were more than 20,000 mid-level spiritual stones in the storage bag, equivalent to more than two million spiritual stones. He also threw a hundred mid-level spiritual stones to the young woman.
The young woman was very quick with her hands and feet. After confirming Lu Kun's spirit stone, she immediately took out an emerald green magic plate and handed it to Lu Kun. "Senior, this is the auction token of the auction house. Every time an item is auctioned, it will display
Item details."
"When seniors need to bid, they only need to use mana or magic power to input spiritual stones. Moreover, this disk is connected to the auction house's invisible magic array, which can activate a spiritual light protection."
"As long as your spiritual consciousness does not reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul, you will not be able to see through the transformed aura. Likewise, this transformed aura can also withstand a blow from a monk in the late stage of pill formation, ensuring the safety of your seniors in the auction."
When Lu Kun heard this, he was quite surprised. With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he roughly understood the function of this magic plate. With a slight boost of magic power, he was enveloped in a gray spiritual light.
When the spell was successfully cast, he felt a vague connection coming from the large formation in front of him. However, although this aura can isolate vision and spiritual thoughts, to maintain the aura, the mana in the body needs to be continuously activated.
.
Although this consumption of mana is nothing to a monk in the elixir formation stage, after the mana fluctuation occurs, the level of cultivation will inevitably be noticed by others.
Under the instructions of the charming young woman, Lu Kun, wrapped in spiritual light, walked towards the restricted entrance ahead.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air outside. Lu Kun raised his eyebrows, and his consciousness sensed a surge of magical pressure approaching.
I saw a jet-black escaping light shooting out and landing behind Lu Kun in the blink of an eye.
"It turns out to be Senior Niu. Senior came too late this time." After seeing the escaping light, the charming young woman showed a look of awe on her face and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The light dissipated, revealing a burly, dark-skinned middle-aged man. The profound magic power exuding from his body made Lu Kun's heart tremble. This magic power had reached the peak of the late stage of the Dan Formation, and reached the state of the Great Perfection of the Dan Formation.
.
"Hey, it turns out to be Mrs. Ba. I didn't expect you to receive her outside in person." The middle-aged man seemed to know this charming young woman, and his words were slightly polite.
The charming young woman smiled and said: "Senior Niu, please stop teasing me. The auction will start soon. Senior, you should enter first."
As she spoke, she took out the same dharma plate, handed it to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Senior, there is absolutely no problem with your worth, you just need to pay..."
The middle-aged man threw a bunch of spiritual stones casually: "Okay, Lao Niu, I have participated so many times, and I still don't know the rules there, so I'm going in."
At this time, Lu Kun also passed through the restriction and entered the semi-open-air auction. At a glance, he saw dozens of figures sitting at their respective tea tables, and there were also many young men and women in the foundation building stage nearby.
Bring tea and pour water.
"It is indeed an auction in Rock City. There are so many monks in the alchemy stage, so you might be able to find something good."
Lu Kun's arrival attracted the attention of many people. Although he had a layer of illusion, the aura he exuded was mana, not magic. In this place full of demonic cultivators, it was really a bit out of the ordinary.
Lu Kun was stared at by so many monks in the alchemy stage, so he calmly found an empty single tea seat and sat down, turning a blind eye to other people's gazes.
Not long after he sat down, the Alchemy Dzogchen monk surnamed Niu also walked in. Unlike the others, he did not activate the body-protecting aura of the Dharma plate, but directly revealed his true appearance.
"Old Monster Niu, this guy is indeed here."
"I didn't expect that Niu Laomo would reach the state of perfect elixir formation!"
"It seems that he is preparing for a breakthrough in the Nascent Soul stage. Is he here for the One Yuan Jade Pendant?"
The Alchemy Stage monks here all seemed to know this person. Their expressions under the phantom aura were changing constantly, and many of them showed fear, secretly guessing the purpose of this person's participation in the auction.
