Mortals: Take Mo Juren at the start

Chapter 1033 Tianfeng Villa and the Mysterious Stone Ball

"The auction of the first item will begin now." The owner of Feng Tower lifted the red cloth, revealing a black jade bottle about an inch high.

"As the opening item of this auction, we naturally cannot let you down. This bottle contains three Golden Bone Yuan Pills. I believe everyone knows exactly what this means."

"What! It's actually the Golden Bone Yuan Pill, which is a holy medicine for strengthening bones and strengthening essence..."

"This is a rare good thing. It can be useful to both us, the body cultivators and the monks."

"I didn't expect Wanfanglou to be so generous this time, taking out such a rare item at the beginning. There will definitely be a fight later..."

Just as everyone had discussed, after learning that there were three Golden Bone Yuan Pills in the bottle, everyone present, whether they were body cultivators or monks, showed eager looks on their faces, as if they couldn't wait to take action.

"The first item is three Golden Bone Yuandan pills. The starting price is 500 spirit stones. You can raise the price as you like, but the price cannot be less than 50 each time..."

"I'll give you five hundred and fifty..."

"Six hundred..."

"Six hundred and five..."

"Seven hundred..."

"Eight hundred..."

"..."

As soon as Lord Feng finished speaking, bids began to be heard one after another, instantly arousing everyone's enthusiasm.

In contrast, Mo Juren sat in his seat without saying a word from beginning to end, but watched the fun with great interest.

This so-called auction was far worse than he had expected, and the items on offer were even worse. With a starting price of 500 spirit stones, how could it possibly catch his eye?

But this is understandable. Just look at the participants. They are all mortal body cultivators. The strongest among the cultivators is only at the Jindan stage, which is not good enough even in the human world.

At an auction of this scale, the chance of good stuff appearing is too low.

He no longer expected to find any treasures that would be useful to him, but he could prepare some for Xiao Ya. After all, she had just entered the Qi Refining Stage, so these things would be more suitable for her.

Speaking of Xiao Ya, the other party was very excited at this time.

No matter what, she was only ten years old after all, and had just started practicing cultivation. She had never seen such a lively scene, so it was inevitable that she was excited.

The price at this time had reached one thousand spirit stones, which was already very high for everyone present, especially those low-level body cultivators and monks. Even if they brought all their assets for this auction, they were still reluctant to bid.

Fortunately, this first item is to warm up the atmosphere, so the one that is put out is a "fine product". Things will return to normal later, and then it will be time for everyone to make a move.

The only ones who can continue to fight for it now are the high-level body cultivators and Jindan stage cultivators. Both sides are of course wealthy, so there is no reason for them to give up when they encounter such a precious medicine that can strengthen the body.

The competition continued until the price reached fifteen hundred, then it finally stopped.

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones, is there any fellow Taoist willing to bid..." Lord Feng asked again, his eyes sweeping over the most powerful people.

However, the price is obviously too high. With so many spirit stones, instead of auctioning off three Golden Bone Yuan Pills, it would be better to wait and buy other similar pills later. Not only will the price be much cheaper, but the effect will not be much different.

After realizing this, most people chose to give up.

As for the bidder, he was not a high-level body cultivator or a Jindan stage cultivator, but a young man in brocade clothes who was only in the initial foundation building stage. It was obvious that he came from an extraordinary family, and he felt no pressure at all when bidding for the 1,500 spirit stones.

Master Feng's gaze lingered on Mo Juren for a while. Since the auction began, the other party had never made a bid and looked completely uninterested.

This behavior made her extremely surprised. You know, the Golden Bone Yuan Pill is so famous for a long time. Even if it is taken by a physical cultivator at the sixth level of the Vajra Sutra, it can play a certain role. Why is the other party not tempted at all?
She really couldn't figure it out, and somehow, ever since she first met the Son of God, she had an inexplicable feeling that the other person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, making it difficult for her to see clearly.

Putting away his thoughts, Fenglou Master shouted again,

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones at a time..."

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones twice..."

"One thousand five hundred spirit stones in three times, deal. These three Golden Bone Yuan Pills will belong to Young Master Chen!" Master Feng laughed and signaled the maid to take the pills down and make the transaction directly with the other party.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was surprised again.

"Young Master Chen, is he the one from Tianfeng Villa?"

"Among the many nearby forces, Tianfeng Villa is the most likely candidate. Rumor has it that Manor Master Chen had a son 20 years ago, who is even more talented than his father. This person is most likely the one..."

"No wonder he was able to spend 1,500 spirit stones so easily. He is indeed very wealthy..."

The young man paid no attention to the discussions in the meeting hall. He simply completed the transaction with the maid who came over, then fumbled for the jade bottle and smiled.

"Tianfeng Villa!" Hearing this name, Mo Juren suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He had made a special effort to learn more about this villa. The reason was very simple. There was a rare object inside the villa, or it could be said that it was the treasure of the villa, which made him extremely interested.

Chen Huaishan, the master of Tianfeng Villa, has a wind-attributed spiritual root. He has reached the initial stage of Nascent Soul when he is only over 200 years old. Not only is his cultivation speed very fast, his combat power is also extremely strong, and there are few rivals among the same level.

Tianfeng Villa was built by the other party. With its strong potential and combat effectiveness, it has made a great name for itself in the nearby areas.

The reason why he was able to achieve such success was not only due to his own qualifications, but more importantly, it was due to that special treasure.

As to what it is specifically, it is still unclear and outsiders can only guess, but one thing is certain, this treasure is a rare item specifically designed for practicing wind-attributed techniques.

You have to know that this is the spiritual world. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a mere Nascent Soul cultivator to keep such a rare item. It should have been taken away by others long ago.

However, the reality is not so. When the other party was still a Jindan stage cultivator, the news of his possession of this treasure had already leaked out, but no one has ever heard of anyone snatching it.

Until now, Tianfeng Villa has remained as stable as a rock and has been unrivalled in its popularity. This shows that there are deep waters here.

"There should be other backers behind him, right?" Mo Juren touched his chin, thinking. If possible, he would like to go to Tianfeng Villa and take away the rare item.

Chen Huaishan is only in the early stage of Nascent Soul. Even if his strength has not yet recovered, it is still easy for him to deal with this man.

However, when I thought that the other party might have other backers, the thought quickly dissipated.

No matter how good the things are, they are secondary. Personal safety is the most important. If his actions go smoothly, he will definitely offend the Tianxiang Sect. If he creates another big enemy, it will be bad. Mo Juren glanced at the young master Chen again and did not intend to pay attention to him. However, just as he was about to look away, a strange flash suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.

Just at that moment, he actually sensed a barely detectable fluctuation of spiritual power from the other party, as if there was something unusual in his dantian?

"Could it be possible?" Mo Juren's heart moved, and he instantly thought of a possibility. For a moment, his eyes narrowed.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, this Young Master Chen seems to also have a wind-attributed spiritual root, and even has a special physique. Could it be that...

"Next is the second item to be auctioned..." At this moment, on the high platform, Master Feng had already lifted the red cloth, revealing two short blades half a foot long, one black and one white, both flashing with sharp cold light.

"The intermediate-level magic weapon 'Yin Yang Double Blade' is a complete set of treasures. When the two are combined, the power is comparable to that of a top-grade magic weapon. The starting price is 300 spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than 50. Fellow cultivators, you can make your bids now..."

"It turns out to be a magical weapon. Then there is nothing we can do..."

"It's just a mid-level magic weapon, nothing special. It's not as good as Zheng's 'Cold Moon Sword'..."

"Fellow Daoist Zheng's top-grade spiritual tool, the Frost Moon Sword, is indeed extraordinary, but magical tools also have their advantages, especially in terms of being able to be controlled remotely, which is far beyond the reach of physical cultivators like us..."

"That's true, but who can blame me for not having spiritual roots? I can only be a body cultivator..."

Different from the sour discussions of many body cultivators, those monks attending the meeting have been impatient for a long time. Of course, this is limited to the foundation-building stage, and the Jindan stage monks don't even look at it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Three hundred spirit stones..."

"Three hundred and fifty..."

"Four hundred..."

"..."

Not long after, this pair of intermediate-level magical weapons, the Yin-Yang Double Blades, was bought by a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

After a round of transactions, the maid brought the third item, which turned out to be a thousand-year-old elixir, which immediately caused a sensation in the entire venue again.

Spiritual medicine is an absolute hard currency at any time and in any place. Both physical cultivators and monks will fight for it without hesitation.

What's more, it is a thousand-year-old elixir. Even if you buy it but don't know how to use it yourself, it doesn't matter. You can pay some fees and ask those specialized alchemists to help you refine it.

After another round of scramble, the price of this thousand-year-old elixir was pushed to a level that was obviously higher than the market price, and it was finally bought by a Jindan stage cultivator.

Next up is the fourth lot…

As the lots were sold one after another, Mo Juren, who was sitting below, remained unmoved. The owner of Feng Tower on the high platform became more and more confused.

"Uncle, why didn't you bid?" The little girl sitting in the seat below came closer and asked quietly.

She was also a little puzzled. After all, she had heard clearly the promise made by the beautiful middle-aged woman in the inn before. There were three places, and Wanfanglou would help pay for the spirit stones for any item purchased.

Since it was something for free, there was no reason not to take it. And in her opinion, every one of those things was good, but the other party still did not move.

"Don't be in a hurry." Mo Juren didn't explain, but just touched the other person's head with a smile.

The reason why I didn't bid just now was very simple, I just didn't need those things.

The promise given by Wanfanglou allowed him to choose three treasures at will, so naturally he needed to think carefully about it.

Therefore, he will only choose what he really needs and ignore the rest.

What he didn't know was that at this moment on the high platform, although Lord Feng was confused, he also felt a bit of admiration for him, which was enough to show that he was steady and not impulsive.

"The next item is quite special. It was just sent to me by a Taoist friend last night. Because it is quite peculiar, I have added it to the auction items..." As he spoke, Master Feng lifted the red cloth again, revealing an exquisite jade box that was half a foot square. In the box, there was a fist-sized, turquoise stone ball.

"What is this? It looks very ordinary..."

"There is not a trace of spiritual energy. Could it be just an ordinary stone ball..."

"Could it be the egg of some monster?"

"Not really. I can't sense any life fluctuations..."

"..."

The appearance of the stone ball immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, but no one could see anything unusual and they started talking about it.

Mo Juren also had a look of doubt on his face. This thing really looked too ordinary. Even when he released a ray of spiritual sense to investigate, he still couldn't feel anything.

"To be honest, I am in the same situation as everyone else. I also cannot figure out what this stone ball is. Even the Taoist friend who sent it for auction is in a similar situation.

There is one special thing, that is, this stone ball is extremely hard and difficult to be damaged by magic weapons. This alone is enough to prove that it is definitely not an ordinary stone. "The owner of the Fenglou explained again, and then said,

"Perhaps this is some special spiritual material. Its value can only be determined by you. The starting price is 10,000 spiritual stones. It is not Feng's exorbitant price, but it was specially set by the Taoist friend who sent it for auction. Anyone who is interested can make an offer..."

"What, ten thousand spirit stones..."

"Is this guy crazy? He should just rob him. Why bother with all this trouble..."

"This kind of 'valuable treasure' should be sent to Taiyue City for auction. A small place like ours can't afford it..."

"Maybe it's just a harder stone. We don't even know if it's useful. How dare you offer such a high price? Besides, there are many similar things in the world of immortal cultivation, but not many of them are truly valuable..."

"..."

The price offered by the Fenglou Lord caused public outrage. Both the physical cultivators and the monks present sneered at the price and had no intention of buying it.

Ten thousand spirit stones was just the starting price. Even though some people present could afford it, no one was willing to take the gamble. Losing would be a real joke.

"No one is willing to take a gamble?" After waiting for a long time, no one made a bid. Master Feng sighed. She herself had no confidence in the first place. In fact, if that person had not been a close friend of hers, she would not have put it up for auction today.

Under the current circumstances, she has done her best and was about to announce the suspension of the auction, but at this moment, a voice came from the distance.

"Ten thousand spirit stones, I want this thing!"
