Best Ascension

Chapter 180 Mysterious Woman
Seven days later, the auction meeting finally arrived.

Zhao Sheng came out of the inn, and according to the old man in the shop, he walked across the streets and squares, and arrived in front of a magnificent palace building in Southwest Fang City of Fenghuo Island.

Zhao Sheng stood at the corner of the street, not in a hurry to enter, but just looked at the venue where the auction will be held.

As the time drew near, immortal cultivators came to this place one after another. They had different styles, some were upright, and some deliberately concealed their appearance, but as long as they showed a letter of guarantee, the guards at the gate would let them through after inspection.

"It seems that this auction will recognize the letter but not the person, and the defense is quite strict. I heard from the shopkeeper a few days ago that for this auction, it is rare for Longgui Island to send a Jindan real person to sit here. I think one is For the sake of safety, secondly, there are many rare treasures in this auction." Zhao Sheng thought to himself with a calm expression.

"Many of the people who came today are probably here for Jidan. This time, some of them fought."

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng, who had changed his face, turned out from the corner of the street and strode towards the entrance.

When he arrived at the gate of the venue, he showed the full jade page guarantee letter to the guards.

Just as he was about to walk in, Zhao Sheng's expression changed suddenly, and he turned his head and glanced behind him.

Not far away, there were three unusually tall men in black robes, surrounded by a woman in a blue skirt, walking towards here.

The woman had a graceful figure, with a gauze cap on her head, and a white veil hanging from it, covering her face.

Although he couldn't see the woman's face clearly, Zhao Sheng felt a throbbing in his heart, as if there seemed to be some kind of very vague and secret connection between him and the woman.

"Who is this woman?" Zhao Sheng was a little surprised,
Just as he was about to take another look, the guard urged him to go in impatiently.

Zhao Sheng withdrew his gaze, and walked into the venue with some thoughts in his heart.

On the other side, the woman in white gauze stopped suddenly, her beautiful eyes stared at the entrance of the auction, and looked at Zhao Sheng's slowly disappearing figure.

"Young master, why did you stop suddenly? Could there be something wrong?"

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came out of the woman's cuff, the voice was erratic, and only she could hear it.

"Chong Lao, did you see that man just now?" Wang Yingling shook his sleeves, lowered his head and whispered.

"Who is it? The old slave just now paid attention to sensing the slough of the ancestor, and didn't pay attention to the surroundings."

Wang Yingling licked his lips, and while walking forward, whispered secretly: "I seem to have found a fellow clan, and it seems that the blood is not low in purity."

"what?!"

……

……

"The auspicious time has come, the auction conference has officially started!"

In the grand venue, a thick and magnetic voice came from the high platform in front.

The auction venue, which was originally whispering, immediately fell silent.

Then I saw a middle-aged man in a bright red robe, with a long face and big ears, and a flame totem pierced on his forehead, walking up to the high platform directly in front of him calmly.

In the venue below, more than 100 participants each occupied a round table and sat scattered around the venue.

As for those with special identities or cultivators who are above the Foundation Establishment Stage, they will be in the private room on the second floor, overlooking the venue below.

The number of people at the auction site was small, but Zhao Sheng didn't find it too strange.

After all, just asking merchants to provide guarantees and offering auction items that agree with the requirements will directly screen out most of the immortal cultivators who are not wealthy.

Auctions in the world of cultivating immortals have always been more expensive than expensive, whether it is the auction items or the participants.

In the venue, Zhao Sheng couldn't tell the depth of other people's cultivation.But judging from his rich experience, not to mention the private rooms on the second floor, there are at least five foundation-building monks in the venue on the first floor alone.
"It seems that we should be more careful this time." Zhao Sheng thought to himself.

"Welcome fellow seniors, come to Fenghuo Island to participate in this year's auction. I won't say much about the rules. I believe you have already understood that the highest bidder wins the treasure. If there are special requirements, bartering is also allowed."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man bowed respectfully to the lower left side of the platform, and then recovered his figure.

Everyone turned their gazes there, and saw a fiery mahogany chair on the left side of the high platform, on which sat a thin old man in a gray robe.

The old man closed his eyes and rested his mind, sat on the chair without moving, but his aura was unfathomable.

This is Jindan Daoist who is in charge of the town.

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, glanced at everyone in the venue, and then said:

"I won't say anything superfluous! Everyone, please look at the first treasure!"

As he spoke, he slapped the storage bag with one hand, and a palm-sized jade box appeared in his hand. The jade box opened, and a golden-blue flying sword about an inch long was lying quietly inside.

"The first item to be auctioned is a top-grade magic weapon, Seventh Gold Flying Sword. The blade is doped with Seventh Gold. It is indestructible. The speed of the sword is three points faster than the same level of flying swords. It contains nine forbidden spells. The base price is seven thousand spirit stones. Every time you bid, the increase must not be less than one hundred spirit stones." The middle-aged man said proudly with a smile on his face.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

You must know that the flying sword is the most demanding material requirement among the killing instruments.And sword repair is also famous "the sword is with the people, and the sword is dead and the people are dead".

Gengjin is the most precious treasure for refining flying swords.

Even if the amount of Gengjin mixed with this flying sword is unknown, it may be just a gimmick.

Even seven thousand spirit stones can buy a low-grade spirit weapon.

But such a flying sword of excellent quality is enough to attract the looting of many immortal cultivators.

The first treasure I saw was the Gengjin Feijian.Zhao Sheng was a little disappointed, Geng Jin is not rare for him at all.

If he can return to Central Continent, he dare not say anything else, he can take out Gengjin with the size of a human head.

"Eight thousand!"

"Eight thousand one hundred!"

"Eight thousand eight hundred!"

……

Sure enough, as soon as this top-quality flying sword appeared, it caused everyone on the scene to raise their prices.

After a fierce competition, this flying sword was auctioned off by an old man with a cold face at a high price of [-] spirit stones.

At this time, the atmosphere of the venue was successfully heated up by Gengjin Feijian.The next two treasures were an orange-gold armor and a child-mother spiritual shield, both of which were top-quality magic weapons, and were sold at high prices of [-] and [-] spirit stones respectively.

The reason for this is naturally because defensive magic weapons are generally more difficult to refine than killing magic weapons, and the price is usually [-]% to [-]% higher, of course, the flying sword is an exception.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help being a little surprised.

The specifications of this auction are not low!The lowest starting hands are all top-grade magic weapons, so isn't it true that spiritual weapons are the mainstream in the future?

"The fourth auction item, the best talisman, the five-element talisman."

After finishing the words, the middle-aged man took out a square wooden box with one hand.

I saw him slapping it with one hand, and the lid of the box was opened immediately, revealing a three-layer multicolored talisman with a diameter of about a foot inside.It looks exquisite and unusual, and faintly exudes a five-color halo.

"The five-element chaotic disk, although it is only for talisman repair, its main material is made of thousand-year-old psychic wood and five-element spiritual gold. It took a third-level refining master to refine it. It took seven to seven 49 days to refine it. Although it is not a spiritual weapon, it is more precious than ordinary spiritual weapons." The middle-aged man held the amulet and said slowly.

As soon as these words were uttered, it naturally caused a commotion at the scene, and he asked why on the spot.

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The master craftsman originally wanted to refine a spirit-level talisman. But because of some accidents during the refining process, the talisman dropped by a grade. order.

Although the grade is much lower than originally planned, but by chance, there are two more novel functions. One is that it can carry higher-grade talismans, and it can bear up to the second-grade top-grade true talisman.The second is to arrange five-element talismans on the talisman plate. When activated at the same time, talismans of different attributes will have a certain probability of changing under the guidance of the talisman plate.

The former is fine, after all, high-grade true talismans are very rare and rarely available.

But if the latter falls into the hands of a fellow Taoist who cultivates both talisman and law, it will have infinite uses.

More importantly, this talisman plate can be said to be obtained by accident, and it is almost impossible to refine the same second one.So... the starting price is [-] spirit stones! "

Having said that, the middle-aged man deliberately paused to observe the reactions of everyone in the audience.

Sure enough, there was another commotion in the audience, many people were tempted, and so was Zhao Sheng.

Regardless of what other people thought, he really wanted to take a picture of it.

With this sharp weapon, he is not afraid of the monks in the early stage of foundation establishment.

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone immediately raised the price by five thousand spirit stones.

With such a high bid, many people were shocked, and some people swallowed the words that had already come to their lips.

After a long while, someone gave a cold snort and forcefully called out eighteen thousand spirit stones.

Good guy, raised another three thousand.

And this cry of price immediately called back most of the people.

After all, the original Gengjin Feijian was only [-] spirit stones.

After all, a talisman has a narrow purpose, even if the side effects are rare and miraculous, the price is at the top.

But at this moment, Zhao Sheng, who was the first to bid, couldn't help frowning slightly.

It's not that he doesn't have spirit stones, not to mention the nearly [-] spirit stones he got from selling magic tools before, and it's not that he can sell [-] spirit stones from scrolls of spirit weapons.Even taking out the pure yin spirit stones dug from the sea of ​​mist is enough to buy three or four such talisman plates.

It's just that he has some worries in his heart. He will take pictures of the Foundation Establishment Pill later. If there are not enough spirit stones, it is inevitable that the pure Yin spirit stone will be exposed.

Given the rarity of pure yin spirit stones in the Sea of ​​Broken Stars, it is hard to guarantee that the organizers will not have his idea.

While Zhao Sheng was weighing the pros and cons, Wang Yingling secretly stared at his back in a private room on the second floor.

"Young master, are you sure that person really has the blood of the holy clan?" Gui Lao's old voice sounded at this moment.

"En," Wang Yingling nodded lightly.

"Great! After this matter, we must bring this person back to Xulingyuan, the chief priest will be very happy." Old Turtle said excitedly.

This time, Wang Yingling only nodded, but didn't say anything else.

And at this moment, a faint voice suddenly sounded in the venue:
"Twenty thousand spirit stones."

The bidder was naturally Zhao Sheng.

He added another two thousand spirit stones in one breath.

With such a high price, even some wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivators could not help shaking their heads secretly.

"Okay, very good. It seems that this fellow daoist is bound to win the Five Elements Talisman Plate. Is there any fellow daoist who bid higher than this one?" The middle-aged man was very happy, and asked everyone again.

Seeing that there was no bidder for a long time, the middle-aged man didn't care, and immediately announced that the talisman plate belonged to Zhao Sheng.

After bidding on the talisman plate, the middle-aged man began to auction off spirit-level treasures, with a starting price of at least [-] spirit stones.

Zhao Sheng's Spirit Artifact Painting Scroll was auctioned for the ninth piece. Because Chili Spirit Fire was hidden inside, and Fenghuo Island is famous for its artefact refining, the final transaction price was higher than Zhao Sheng expected. It was [-] Lingshi deal.

……

"... Next, this treasure is provided by a fellow Taoist. It is a white spirit turtle shell, which has the magic effect of turning disaster into fortune. The starting price is [-] spirit stones."

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man turned his palm, and a white jade tortoise shell as big as a slap appeared in his hand.

As soon as these words came out, the entire cave fell into an extremely quiet and strange atmosphere.

Everyone stared at the turtle shell, but most of them showed disdain.

This white jade tortoise shell is very famous in Fenghuo Island. It has been put up for auction five times. Each time it was auctioned, it would be auctioned again within two years.

It is well known that the owners of this tortoise shell all died unexpectedly, and no one was spared.

What turns bad luck into good luck, it should be the doomed tortoise shell!

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and asked everyone if there was any bid.

After a while, a cold voice came from a private room on the second floor: "Twenty-one thousand!"

"Okay! Deal!" The middle-aged man stopped asking others, and immediately blurted out, as if someone would go back on his word.

Seeing this, Wang Yingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it would be better if no one competed with her.

It's just that she didn't notice that Flameless Daoist, who had kept his eyes closed under the high platform, closed his eyes and narrowed his eyes, looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

Three hours later, the auction has come to an end.

"Cough cough!"

The middle-aged man deliberately coughed twice, focused everyone's attention on him, and then confidently took out three sapphire pill bottles.

Seeing the appearance of the pill bottle, the venue suddenly fell silent. Everyone's hearts were burning, and they looked eagerly at the middle-aged man on the high platform.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man poured out a round longan-sized, fragrant white panacea from the pill bottle, and displayed it in front of everyone.

"This is the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the number is three. The grades are all low-grade. Even if I don't say it, fellow Taoists will naturally know its value. So I won't say anything redundant.

The auction is divided into light and dark forms.The Ming Auction starts at [-] spirit stones, and each price increase is no less than [-] spirit stones.For the same price, high-grade spirit stones are preferred.Dark shots can be exchanged for other treasures, exercises, and secret techniques. "

There are as many as three Foundation Establishment Pills, which is beyond everyone's surprise.

You must know that in previous years, there was only one piece for people to fight for.

The middle-aged man seemed very satisfied with everyone's shocked expressions, and after a long pause, he said confidently:

"Okay, everyone can write down the price of the secret auction, or participate in the open auction. As for who will get the three precious Foundation Establishment Pills in the end, it will be decided by Master Wuyan."

As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the venue was suddenly extremely tense, and many people looked at the real Wu Yan with awe and envy.

There was silence again in the venue, no one spoke first, as if they were waiting for others to speak first.

The middle-aged man was not in a hurry, but just quietly looked at the audience.

"Thirty-three thousand spirit stones. Since you don't speak, then let the old man do the talking." After a while, an old man with a stern face spoke slowly.
