Bring some shock to the world of cultivating immortals

Sometimes, people just can't hold it in.

For example, Tang Wan made a shocking statement in the geography test about "how to improve soil fertility" by saying "do more burials". It is also possible that the next step is to whip Gui Daozi's corpse for the X+1th time. Or Huang Yiri and Shangguan Hong found that the real purpose of the old Taoist priest's participation in the auction was too abstract.

Why this thing?
Time goes back to ten minutes ago.

First of all, it should be made clear that the old master is very rich, in every sense of the word. After all, one of his disciples can take out all the assets of a middle-to-upper-level sect, so he is naturally very rich.

but.

The old Taoist priest is very poor.

because···
"profound."

When Zhou Li asked, "Why is it the master who is swiping the card?", the old Taoist priest smiled and replied, "Your master is in charge of the money."

This answer was indeed beyond Zhou Li's expectations.

Or rather, it exceeded many people's expectations.

"why?"

Zhou Li asked subconsciously.

Zhuge Qing is the kind of noble fairy who doesn't touch the mundane world. According to common sense, fairies rarely have much to do with money, which is a very common stereotype.

“Because he buys random things.”

The stereotype deepened.

Zhuge Qing, who was usually calm and composed except when facing Zhou Li, gritted his teeth at this moment and exposed the old Taoist priest's true colors as he shook his head.

"If you give him money, he will spend it recklessly and buy a bunch of weird stuff. There's a stone sculpture of an alpaca that spits at exactly one quarter past midnight, a robe that automatically plays the song "How can I be a common person" when you laugh three times, a flying sword that glows, and shoes that automatically reflect the sun..."

Zhuge Qing glanced coldly at the old Taoist priest who was pretending to be calm and indifferent, and said in a deep voice: "It's fine if he buys useless things, but he doesn't even use them himself. Every time he buys them, he deceives Third Master Uncle that they are for him. As a result, Third Master Uncle is embarrassed every time."

This has touched the backbone of two heavyweights from Longhu Mountain.

The old master still had a smiling face. He was not afraid that the three juniors would look down on him. After all, if Fanma Yujiro got married, the others would also admire him for having a female in his heart. Moreover, the old master was thick-skinned. Generally speaking, there were few people who could touch his face.

Liu Kuang was a little embarrassed.

He was not a face-conscious person, but the problem was that he always felt that the old Taoist priest bought him the LED Rainbow Flying Sword and the colorful mood-changing Taoist robe out of kindness to him. However, Zhuge Qing would always interfere, saying that it was embarrassing.

Please, last time the little girl from Baicao Sect came to me and asked me where I bought my Taoist robe. Isn’t this a manifestation of her envy?
In an instant, Liu Kuang concluded that [the girl from Baicao Sect envied the colorful and mood-changing Taoist robe → Zhuge Qing was about the same age as the girl from Baicao Sect → Zhuge Qing = the girl from Baicao Sect → Zhuge Qing envied his colorful and mood-changing Taoist robe]

Liu Kuang looked at Zhuge Qing again, but this time there was no embarrassment, only pity and comfort.

Zhuge Qing is numb.

She can handle most people, even the old Taoist priest has to look at her face when buying things. But Zhuge Qing can't stand Liu Kuang, an honest man, who is also a psychopath with a death rock string in his head.

"Master, what are we here to buy this time?"

Zhou Li sat down and asked curiously.

Then, it was visible to the naked eye that Zhuge Qing, Liu Kuang and the old Taoist priest all maintained an awkward silence.

What the hell?
Zhou Li's heart tightened immediately. As a famous scholar in Beiliang, he didn't care about his own face. He had already lost the face of Beiliang Imperial College. But he still wanted to keep the face of Longhu Mountain.

The main reason is that he is afraid of being known as someone who turns wherever he goes into an abstract area.

Heaven and earth can testify that the vague abstraction of Longhu Mountain has nothing to do with Zhou Li himself. Before he came, the irreparable Northeast Rift Valley phenomenon had already occurred in the brain of his third uncle Liu Kuang. It was not him who did it.

This time Tang Wan might have done it.

Huang Yiri sat on Zhou Li's left, and Tang Wan sat on his right. Shangguan Hong didn't sit down, not because anyone didn't want her to, but because she saw some strange bloodstains on the only remaining chair, so she was too lazy to sit down.

Of course, this is also due to her habit of standing still with a sword in her arms, pretending to be an expert.

"I just came to take a look today."

The old Taoist priest's smile showed a guilty look that was visibly evident.

"Yes, just come and take a look."

Liu Kuang's smile also showed his guilty conscience which was visibly visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, I really want to find someone to take a look."

Zhuge Qing's exhausted sigh carried visible helplessness.

Huang Yiri didn't say much. He was usually as good at talking as Sun Defeng, but today he was particularly well-behaved. The main reason was that any of the three people sitting next to him could fight him to a draw and beat him five times in five seconds. Moreover, each of these three people was highly respected, and there was another more important factor...

After looking at Shangguan Hong, Huang Yiri confirmed his inner thoughts.

They are all related to Zhou Li. These three are not necessarily normal people.

Zhou Li, the best partner in disenchantment.

At the same time, the auction began.

The process of an auction is generally pretty much the same. It's nothing more than one person standing on the stage introducing the auction items, and then when the time comes, the auction begins, and everyone bids the highest price. Then there are some classic plots like "Our Zhao family must get this thing" and "What kind of things do you have in your Zhao family?" If the protagonist is present, there must be some segments of picking up leaks. If you want more words, you can also have a pig-eating-tiger segment, or a classic John Wick: Chapter 11.

“This is the first lot of the day.”

There was no nonsense, no memorization. The old man on the stage walked to the shelf with his hands behind his back, took off the silk cloth on it, revealing a bronze tiger statue with a green face and fangs.

"The Tiger Vanguard Sculpture has the effect of increasing the perception ability of practitioners below the Five Elements Realm by about 7%. The sculptor is Master Liu Shuang, and the service life is 15 years. If you pick it up in person, shipping is not included."

?

You can auction it off on Taobao.

Zhou Li was a little confused.

The people in the audience and the private rooms began to quietly raise their signs, and soon, the Tiger Vanguard sculpture was sold for the price of twelve top-grade fairy clouds.

what···

What a great auction.

The second lot is a wine gourd, the effect is that the wine inside will taste better.

Liu Kuang bought it for the price of five top-grade fairy clouds.

The effect of this thing is not good or bad. You say it is useless, but it is a rare instant non-consumption immortal weapon, and it can also improve the quality and effect of wine.

You said it works well.

So the question is, who in their right mind can turn elixirs into wine?

Immortal cultivators usually have very good physiques, so ordinary wine is definitely meaningless. This gourd defines wine as wine that can make people drunk. In other words, if a psychopath wants to turn elixirs into wine and use this gourd to increase the effect, the price is drinking too much during a fight.

Liu Kuang said he didn't care.

He can punch drunk.

Other items were sold one after another, and some were unsold. For example, Zhou Li didn't understand why someone would auction "The Old Heavenly Master's handwritten inscription [Women's Treasure]".

"not me."

The old Taoist priest calmly retorted: "If it were me, I would personally write a plaque like "Open and aboveboard" instead of writing something like this."

"Fake?"

"Not at all."

The old Taoist priest smiled confidently, "No one dares."

"Then what is this?" Zhou Li was completely confused.

"I write."

Liu Kuang said calmly: "Actually, I wanted to write about feeling at home."

There is a reason why you can be Tang Wan's master.

Zhou Li smiled with relief.

"This is a unique item. The consignor specifically noted that only one side of the sword is sharpened, and the other side is not."

At the same time, a silver long sword also appeared on the exhibition stand. This long sword was made in the Han Dynasty and was very similar to the one in Shangguan Hong's hand. However, the one in Shangguan Hong's hand was an eight-sided Han sword, while the one on the exhibition stand was more like a double-edged sword.
There is one side that is not sharpened.

Shangguan Hong was obviously a little tempted. Gongsun swordsmanship did not have many restrictions on the sword, and this Han sword looked very good. Both its texture and the aura flowing on it made Shangguan Hong very excited.

"This Han sword was forged by Pu Yuan, a master of forging in the Jin Dynasty. It is called the Biyun Sword. This sword can absorb the immortal energy of others and feed it back to the sword body, or it can concentrate the immortal energy in the sword body and release it at one point. The starting price is twenty-five top-grade immortal clouds."

Shangguan Hong calmed down when she heard the price.

Now she is so poor that she has to take fasting pills. If it weren't for Zhou Li and Huang Riyi's help, she would have just found a haystack and used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.

Twenty-five top-grade fairy clouds would be useless even if it cost her her life.

"this is not bad."

The old Taoist priest nodded and commented, "Master Pu Yuan was the only remaining weapon refining master in the Jin Dynasty. The swords he forged all have murderous intent and spiritual energy. This Biyun Sword should be considered a five-element-level immortal weapon according to the current classification method. Twenty-five top-grade immortal clouds are not expensive."

Looking at Zhuge Qing standing aside, the old Taoist priest said, "Disciple, buy it."

"it is good."

Zhuge Qing did not refute the old Taoist priest, because the Biyun Sword was indeed a genuine immortal weapon.

"10% interest, will you lend it to me?"

At this moment, Zhou Li came up to Shangguan Hong and said with a smile: "Since we are old classmates, I will give you three cents."

"You are too old school."

Shangguan Hong was a little tempted. She really wanted this sword, but when she saw Zhuge Qing holding up a sign, she immediately said calmly, "Forget it. I already have one."

"Really not?"

Zhou Li asked with a smile.

"No."

Shangguan Hong curled her lips and said, "Don't bother me."

"The sect competition is coming up soon, are you sure you don't want to get a good sword?"

Zhou Li asked with a smile: "I remember that Gongsun swordsmanship can be used with one more sword, right?"

For a moment, Shangguan Hong's eyes were a little vague, and she didn't know how to refute Zhou Li.

Gongsun Swordsmanship is a dual swordsmanship, but most of the Gongsun disciples are unable to fully learn dual swords and can only learn single swords. But Shangguan Hong is different. Her dual swordsmanship is far superior to other Gongsun descendants. Even her master praised her as "Gongsun taught swords in dreams."

It's a pity that Shangguan Hong didn't change his surname to Gongsun, so he couldn't inherit Gongsun Da Niang's double swords. His master took pity on this upright disciple and gave Shangguan Hong his own eight-sided Han sword. But Shangguan Hong's strongest skill was still the two-handed sword, but unfortunately the eight-sided Han sword was too strong, so strong that it couldn't beat ordinary spirit swords, so Shangguan Hong never could use the two-handed sword.

The moment she saw the Biyun Sword, Shangguan Hong felt her eyes light up. This was a swordsman's keenness in swordsmanship, enough to make her sure that the Eight-sided Han Sword could accommodate this long sword.

But, poor.

She had many reasons to buy the sword, but the word "poor" was enough to stop her from buying it.

"Really not?"

Zhou Li continued to pursue, "I definitely have enough money here."

"Really?"

At this moment, Zhuge Qing raised his lips slightly and asked, "My dear disciple, you are using my money, and now you are ready to deal with me."

At this point, Zhou Li couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Master! You miscalculated!"

Zhou Li said rudely, "Guess how many high-grade fairy clouds are in my bag?"

Zhuge Qing was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Li's waist and said calmly: "Three hundred and twenty-seven top-grade fairy clouds."

"Master, although fortune-telling is your job, let's not cheat next time."

Zhou Li suddenly became dispirited.

"Hey? How do you make money, nephew?"

Liu Kuang was stunned. As a man who had to borrow money from his nephew to buy a wine gourd, he was naturally stunned by the huge wealth of his nephew.

"gamble."

Zhou Li said calmly.

"Xiao Li, although there are not too many rules and regulations in Longhu Mountain, gambling is not a good idea. How much did you bet?"

The old Taoist priest at the side asked worriedly.

Zhou Li thought about it and said in a deep voice: "I didn't bet."

The old master nodded.

“I mainly open the market.”

The old Taoist's expression froze.

"Hey, nephew, you have a very flexible brain. If I had your brain, I would have become a successful person a long time ago."

Liu Kuang on the side said regretfully.

"Yes, that's right."

Tang Wan didn't even need to turn her head to know how distorted Huang Yiri's expression was.

"My master didn't know how to address the Taoist master's apprentice, so he chose to add the word 'nephew' after 'master's nephew'. It wasn't a repetition of words, nor was it a slip of the tongue, he really meant it that way."

At this moment, Huang Yiri seemed to have discovered a law of the universe. As long as he was related to Zhou Li, there would be indescribable pollution that would gradually erode everything. Even Liu Kuang, the famous third elder of Longhu Mountain, could not escape.

If we add Tang Wan...
Huang Yiri shuddered and became determined not to let Zhou Li and Tang Wan go to his house.

There are too many abstract things in the house, and this is the limit.

"want."

Shangguan Hong nodded after a brief pause and said firmly: "I will pay you back within five years."

"One thing to pay off."

Zhou Li uttered a few words, then smiled at Zhuge Qing, raised his sign, and made an offer.

The old Taoist priest looked at Zhou Li with a smile, his eyes becoming more kind.

Not bad...this kid has understood it a long time ago.

Only if you take care of your own cause and effect can you be successful.
