"The city that never sleeps?"

Jiang Yanlu looked at the three words on the jade tablet, and read them lightly.

She had heard of the city that never sleeps.

On the opening day of the sect, there was a vendor selling fake and inferior Lingshan spring water at the foot of Taixuan Jianzong's mountain. He lied to everyone that the "Lingshan spring water" in his hand flowed from the city that never sleeps.

Cheng Xinglan nodded at the side and said, "Exactly, this is the jade token for the city that never sleeps."

After a pause, he added: "It's a passable jade token that can enter the auction."

The Passing Jade Card is equivalent to a one-time admission ticket to the city that never sleeps.

An ordinary passing jade token is worth five thousand spirit stones.

Those who have a passing jade card can stay in the city that never sleeps for half a month without being expelled.

The jade token that Cheng Xinglan gave to Jiang Yanlu was a higher-level cold jade token, and it was an entry ticket to the auction in the city that never sleeps, with a minimum value of [-] spirit stones.

The reason why I say the lowest is because this kind of cold jade pass jade token is very rare, and it is not available every day.

Only when the city that never sleeps plans to hold an auction will it release dozens of pieces.

These Jiangyan deer have also heard about it.

The auction in the city that never sleeps is the largest auction in the Three Realms.

Each auction is either priceless or a peerless treasure.

Therefore, on the day these cold jade passing jade tokens are released at once, they will be quickly snatched up.

Those who did not grab the jade medal could only buy it from others at a high price.

Or spend a lot of money and arrange people to stay in advance.

In this way, the cost of Lingshi is more than [-].

And this is just the ticket to enter the auction.

Jiang Yanlu asked Cheng Xinglan: "This jade card cost you a lot of spirit stones, right?"

Cheng Xinglan smiled and said, "Young Senior Sister, don't feel bad, my father gave me a lot of spirit stones!"

If it wasn't for the spirit-gathering talisman and the two fourth-grade red blood transformation pills given to him by the little senior sister, plus her spurs on him every now and then.

It is impossible for him to break through to the late stage of the Golden Core Realm before the competition in the cultivation world.

His father will not reward him with an extra 10,000+ spirit stones.

This cold jade passing jade card is his thank you gift for the little senior sister.

Cheng Xinglan continued: "I heard that at the auction in the city that never sleeps, there are still fragments of talisman formations that were brought out from the secret realm by those in the state of transformation who risked their lives. All the talisman cultivators are eager to move about it."

"Little sister, aren't you researching talismans and talisman arrays, should we go to the auction to see?"

"I have calculated the time. After the auction is over, we rushed back from the city that never sleeps. It's almost time to go to the Kunlun Palace to participate in the competition in the cultivation world."

The words "remnants of the talisman array" made Jiang Yanlu's heart move.

She nodded and said, "Okay! Let's make some preparations today and set off early tomorrow morning."

*

After Yu Jian drove for more than ten days, Jiang Yanlu followed Cheng Xinglan to a bustling market.

The two put away their swords and walked among the bustling crowd.

After walking for another hour, I turned seven or eight streets, and finally turned into a dilapidated and deserted alley.

The alley was narrow and long, and the broken stone bricks on the side of the wall were covered with blue-black moss.

There was a damp, musty smell in the air.

Jiang Yanlu frowned subconsciously.

It's quiet here.

It was so quiet that only the footsteps of the two of them could be heard.

Suddenly, a sudden meow was heard.

A big fat orange-and-white cat leaped down from the wall, moved nimbly, and ran into a shop at the end of the alley in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Yanlu and Cheng Xinglan looked at each other.

Cheng Xinglan said: "Little sister, it should be there."

Jiang Yanlu stared at the past: "Go and have a look."

This is an abandoned shop.

The shop is backed by the sun, and the light inside is dim.

The two wooden doors were wide open inwards, and the joints between the door panels and the door frame were constantly creaking in disrepair.

Dust and cobwebs coexisted on the torn window paper.

There was also a thick layer of dust on the ground.

There is also a row of crooked kitten paw prints on it.

Looking in along the paw prints, Jiang Yanlu saw the big fat cat that had just flashed by.

And the old woman holding the big fat cat in her arms.

She looks very old, and her back is so bent, like a turtle shell on her back.

His hair was gray, his skin was very dark, and there seemed to be no excess flesh on his face, except for a wrinkled skin covered with dark spots, covering the skeleton.

She drooped her head, drooped her eyelids, covered her eyes, and breathed very slowly. She sat on a wooden chair with a backrest beside the counter, and slowly stroked the cat in her arms.

The figure is between light, shadow and darkness, like a dry old tree that is about to lose its life.

The big fat cat raised its head, and stared at Jiang Yanlu and the two with sapphire blue eyes intently.

He meowed again.

The old woman seemed to have sensed the two guests at the door.

She continued to droop her eyelids without looking at the two of them.

Slowly said: "The customer has gone to the wrong place, the shop of the old lady has long been abandoned, and there is no business."

Cheng Xinglan took two steps forward, and revealed the two cold jade tokens in his hand.

He spoke a bunch of languages ​​that Jiang Yanlu couldn't understand.

Only then did the old lady pull herself together and slowly raised her head.

Turning his two inflexible eyes, his eyes fell on Cheng Xinglan and Jiang Yanlu from the cold jade tablet in Cheng Xinglan's hand.

I looked at it for a long time.

Then he opened his wrinkled lips that had shrunk in due to the atrophy of his teeth, and said, "Twenty thousand spirit stones."

Cheng Xinglan almost jumped up from the ground: "How much?! You robbed!"

The old woman ignored his jumping feet and slowly closed her eyes again.

Jiang Yanlu didn't know, so he secretly sent a voice transmission to Cheng Xinglan: "What does she mean?"

Cheng Xinglan sent back angrily via voice transmission:
"This old woman is the gatekeeper in charge of the teleportation array leading to the entrance of the city that never sleeps. I just told her our purpose of coming in coded words and asked her to open the teleportation array for us."

"She opened her mouth like a lion and asked me for [-] spirit stones!"

"I have many spirit stones, but I'm not a fool!"

"I've inquired before I came here. You only need to spend [-] spirit stones per person to enter the teleportation formation, and give the gatekeeper a few hundred spirit stones as a thank you fee. It doesn't cost that much at all!"

Jiang Yanlu understood.

I think this old woman came because of Cheng Xinglan's gorgeous and expensive clothes, and her face like a crown of jade.

At a young age, there are two high-level pass jade cards.

At first glance, he was a child of a family with a deep background.

Then came up with the idea of ​​making a lot of oil and water.

Jiang Yanlu asked him through voice transmission: "Is this the only teleportation array leading to the entrance of the city that never sleeps in the cultivation world?"

Cheng Xinglan said: "There are also other places, but this is the teleportation array closest to us. If we change to another place now, I'm afraid we will miss the auction."

Jiang Yanlu understood: "I see, you don't need to speak next, let me handle it."

She took two steps forward and directly discounted it:
"One price, two thousand spirit stones. If you agree, we will make a deal. If you don't agree, we will go elsewhere."

"Anyway, we have to spend these two thousand spirit stones. It is the same for us to give to you and others. At worst, you will earn four hundred less spirit stones."

"I'll give you three breaths to think about it."

"Three, two, one."

Jiang Yanlu's mouth was like a machine gun, one sentence after another burst out, and then they were all stuffed into her mind, without giving her any time to think.

The countdown was so fast that before she even blinked, Jiang Yanlu finished speaking.

Then he dragged Cheng Xinglan outside without looking back.

Stepped across the threshold neatly, without the slightest sloppiness.

Where has the old woman seen such a way of bargaining.

She couldn't think too much anymore, all she could think about was that she was about to lose four hundred spirit stones.

Seeing that Jiang Yanlu's figure was about to completely disappear from his sight.

She hurriedly said, "Deal, two thousand spirit stones."

Jiang Yanlu's leaving footsteps stopped instantly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
