"That place is like the entrance to hell." Shen Chen said with serious eyes. On the surface, that place is just a scary-looking natural cave, but if you feel it carefully, the invisible secret power here is already strong. To the extreme.
Even with his current achievements, he still had to concentrate to see many details at the entrance. Ordinary monks would probably see this as a ferocious shadow.
"This is just an appearance. The world inside is actually very prosperous!" Gu Qin said.
Shen Chen nodded, and then the two of them no longer hesitated and headed towards the cave.
After walking forward for a long time in the dark, long and huge tunnel, gradually, Shen Chen and the two finally saw the light of the fire. They continued to move forward several hundred feet, and the next moment, they stood in front of a huge stone cave, a vast expanse of light. The magnificent underground city caught their eyes.
The entrance to the cave where they were at the moment was extremely high, as if they were on a high platform. It was at least several thousand feet high from the ground below. Looking from a distance, the hundreds of miles of underground city looked like a sea of fire. , that is endless lights, connected into a large area.
This is really a masterpiece of uncanny workmanship. A vast city area of hundreds of miles is buried underground. The most terrifying thing is that there is not a single pillar in such an empty underground area. It seems that hundreds of miles of space are filled with It was raised out of the earth.
Along a huge stone staircase, Shen Chen and the two flew quickly. After a few breaths, they finally stepped into the area of the underground dragon city. Looking back, the entrance of the cave was already thousands of feet above, like a sacrifice to the sky. of high platform.
Walking on the streets of Longcheng, Shen Chen was not at peace in his heart. The existence of this place was quite magical, as if there was some unimaginable being in the dark, carving out a space on the earth.
"There is no difference between day and night in this underground dragon city. It is always so lively under the light of the fire!" Gu Qin's pretty face, charming in the firelight, chuckled.
There is also a lot of traffic around here, with all kinds of creatures coming and going. There are post houses, palaces, and pavilions. Everything is extremely grand. Even the imperial city built by Emperor Tianlong with the power of the whole country cannot match it. One-tenth of this underground dragon city.
There are so many creatures in such a vast city. Shen and Chen came prepared for this trip. Naturally, it was impossible to visit everywhere. They followed the marks on the map and headed straight towards the "Black Dragon Temple" in the center of Dragon City. Take away.
Half an hour later, a temple covering several miles, like an ancient temple, appeared in front of the two of them.
The palace is majestic, a circular building, and has the feel of an external arena. However, the stone pillars are more than a hundred feet high, and each stone pillar is coiled with a ferocious black dragon, which is lifelike. It’s daunting.
"Is the dark force organizing this auction?" Shen Chen boldly guessed.
"There is no obvious evidence. Many people suspect that it is another mysterious force in the Black Dragon Domain. Some people firmly believe that it is the illusory dark force that is behind the scenes. It just brought some puppets!" Gu Qin said in a low voice. .
Afterwards, the two of them drove straight into the huge temple. There was more than one entrance, and each entrance was more than a hundred feet wide. Even if there were densely packed creatures pouring into it at this moment, the two of them did not feel anything as they walked on the black stone steps. Crowded.
However, as he approached, Shen Chen noticed a very strange phenomenon. When those creatures were about to enter the inner passage of the temple, a black beam of light would rise from the last stone step at their feet, as if coming from them. , took something away.
"That's charging an admission fee!" Gu Qin said with a smile.
"Admission fee?" Shen Chen was surprised that there was such a thing.
"That's natural. To organize this grand auction that even the big names in this vast territory and even the outside world will secretly participate in, how can their efforts be in vain? Naturally, there must be a good trend to do such a thing!" Gu Qin explained.
"How much do you charge?"
"One hundred thousand spirit-gathering pills, or fifty thousand spirit crystals!" Gu Qin's eyes flashed and he said.
"What a great gesture." Shen Chen couldn't help but click his tongue. No wonder someone would do such a thing in such a chaotic and cruel place.
One living creature collected 50,000 spiritual crystals, but right now, just on the grand stone steps of this entrance, there were countless creatures pouring in very low-key.
It is unimaginable that by organizing such an auction event, the mysterious organization could harvest astonishing resources.
"Some people have estimated that the harvest of this mysterious organization from such a grand event is at least comparable to the financial resources of our Tianluo clan for thousands of years!" Gu Qin said secretly: "Those spirit crystals and spirit gathering pills can maintain a hundred god-conferring formations. , operating for many years.”
"Sure enough, someone is controlling all of this somewhere." Shen Chen was filled with awe. The existence of this Black Dragon Realm was definitely not without reason. For some reason, it reminded him of ancient ruins.
If everything here is really driven by someone, then it is nothing more than a chess game in the world. This chess game is just placed in a black area hundreds of miles around in the Black Dragon Territory. But in fact, the game is All races of creatures in the spiritual realm.
Some things are by no means as simple as they appear on the surface. From the secret actions of the Tianluo clan, it can be seen that many ancient inheritances in the spiritual realm are inextricably linked to this black area, both overtly and covertly. contact.
"Let's go, take it!" Gu Qin threw a small Qiankun bag over. There was exactly 50,000 spiritual crystals in it.
"Isn't this method of forcibly collecting from guests a bit too unkind?" Shen Chen couldn't help but frown when he found the small universe bag.
There are many secrets in his Qiankun Bag. Although Old Man Ze has stayed in Luo Yun Sect today, and those miracle doctors and alchemists are trying to reshape his body, there are still many secrets in his Qiankun Bag. Darling, let’s not talk about those elixirs and divine ingredients. Suzaku blood, fire phoenix blood, green luan blood, five-color peacock blood, these are all sacred items that cannot be easily revealed to others.
Moreover, there is a five-color altar inside. That thing is of great importance, and the outside world cannot know about it.
"Don't worry, that layer of barrier will only search for the spiritual crystals in the undefended Qiankun bag. If you tighten the bag, you won't be able to spy on it, and you won't be able to take away a penny. Of course, correspondingly, That layer of barrier will stop you there." Gu Qin joked with a smile.
"Well, no wonder you prepared a new Qiankun Bag to pay the entrance fee!" Shen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, this kind of worry is somewhat unnecessary. Since ancient times, I don't know how many strong people have entered it and have some knowledge in this aspect. Worries abound.
Since that mysterious force wants to take advantage of the opportunity to amass resources, it won't do such stupid things and ruin its own job!
Then, the moment he stepped on the last stone steps, sure enough, the power of that layer of barrier did not invade the Qiankun bag where he collected various treasures. It only invaded the undefended Qiankun bag, but took away fifty thousand Spirit crystal.
Shen Chen just used the original power of Daoyun to set a seal on his Qiankun Bag. No matter what, it could not be tampered with.
Generally speaking, that mysterious force is quite honest in this matter.
Entering the magnificent Black Dragon Temple, Shen and Chen did not take the ordinary passage and went to sit at the ordinary guest seats.
They found a steward here and asked for a private room.
The so-called elegant room is actually a separate room, but that kind of room is very special. It is built at the highest point of the auction seat. When the window inside is opened, you can face the towering auction platform in the center of the temple. During the whole process, , there will be no one around to disturb you.
Of course, the price of this kind of "elegant room" is somewhat speechless. It requires paying half a million spiritual crystals.
With such a number, even if a leader or clan leader comes, he will feel heartbroken. Not all big shots will make such a choice. Many strong people are very pragmatic, because the seats in private rooms and auction seats are essentially, Not much difference.
If it weren't for the purpose of deceiving others and hiding my identity, there really would be no need to spend that unjust money.
Shen and Chen were actually forced to act like this. They were in an awkward situation. Although they could wear hats and cloaks to cover up some of their appearance, the safest way was to endure the pain and cut off the flesh to add an extra layer of cover.
Soon, the two of them were put into a separate room by the steward. The setting here was not bad, worthy of the word "elegant". The tea on the table was also brewed with "dragon tongue mustard" When it comes out, there is a refreshing fragrance floating in the air.
This is a tenth-grade elixir. Drinking it like this is considered a luxury. This somewhat makes Shen Chen feel more balanced.
Otherwise, half a million spiritual crystals would be enough to take back Jiuzhou and give Xiao Nizi's father ten years of military pay.
In addition, there were two women with voluptuous figures and charming faces serving in the room. Shen Chen could tell at a glance that these were two fox girls.
"Two guests, do you need to pull up the curtain?" A fox girl said crisply.
"Need not!"
Shen Chen responded lightly. The window that occupied a whole wall opposite the tea table was currently covered by a curtain. If it was rolled up, it would be possible to have a panoramic view of the extremely lively scene outside with tens of thousands of creatures gathered together. , and at the same time, you can look directly at the high platform in the center of the temple.
However, with their current cultivation level, they could sense what was being auctioned outside even without using their eyes.
While waiting in a relaxed manner, this grand gathering that spanned borders and secretly included unknown number of clan leaders and sect leaders came to a close.
Through the gap between the curtains, Shen Chen discovered that the young woman standing on the high platform hosting the auction was actually a fox girl, with a tall figure, plump and high breasts, and round buttocks. They all exude an aura of charm.
However, this girl is not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also very extraordinary. Shen Chen can feel that this should be a nine-tailed celestial fox, a genuine innate creature, which is almost extinct in the world, compared to existences such as ferocious beasts and Haechi. , even rarer!
This made Shen Chen even more curious about the mysterious force that organized this auction event. A rare nine-tailed celestial fox came out to host the auction at every turn. It seemed that the background of that mysterious force was really not ordinary. It's scary...
After a few breaths, the first treasure appeared.
What can be brought out at such a grand event is not ordinary. It is a bottle of rare spiritual essence. Not only is it prepared by a lost ancient method, but the elixir used is also jaw-dropping.
"This object is Nine Spirits Chalcedony. It is refined using nine rare tenth-grade elixirs in the world. It can help monks baptize their blood and gather their potential. The starting price is... five hundred thousand spirit crystals!"
