After entering the world of cultivating immortals, I have been living and sleeping

The moment the jade box was opened, the first thing Ye Pianran noticed was not the strong light, but the movement in the Dantian.

The ice blue beads vibrated violently, conveying an urgent desire.

But Shen Jun's voice did not sound, and the ice blue beads did not rush out of her Dantian and absorb the white crystal.

Since she was wearing a hood, she didn't have to worry about Yao Anping noticing her expression. Ye Pianran looked thoughtful.

In this way, when she got the water-repelling beads before, the ice blue beads did not rush out of the body directly. It was only after she collected the water-repelling beads into her Dantian that the situation became uncontrollable.

In other words, without the control of the Divine Lord, can it be understood that the ice blue beads cannot leave her Dantian?
  That's good news.

After recovering her thoughts, Ye Pianran clumsily soothed the ice blue beads in her dantian while speaking to Yao Anping.

"I want this thing. I wonder how many spiritual stones are needed?"

"This..." Yao Anping was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect Ye Pianran to really fall in love with this lot. After hesitating, he said, "Wait a moment, I have to ask the senior sister in charge about this."

After saying that, he walked aside, took out a communication talisman, explained the general situation and let it fly.

Not long after, the room restriction was triggered. Yao Anping stepped forward to open the door and welcomed the person in.

"Junior Sister Ye, this is Senior Sister Xu, the head of our Zhenbao Pavilion branch. Senior Sister Xu, this is the leader of the new disciples this year, Junior Sister Ye Pianran."

"Uncle Xu."

Ye Pianran, whose whole body was covered by a cloak, stood up, nodded and said hello, without any intention of taking off his hood.

Senior Sister Xu nodded in return, not minding the hood issue, and went straight to the topic.

"Junior Sister Ye, I believe that Junior Brother Yao has told you about this white crystal. An auction will be held in Zhenbao Pavilion in half a month, and this object is one of the auction items. It is the fourth item from the bottom. You should understand what it means, right?"

The rule of the auction is that the highest bidder wins. Generally speaking, the later in the sequence and closer to the finale, the more precious the treasure is and the higher the price.

Ye Pianran nodded, "Understood. Uncle Master just needs to tell me what price I have to pay."

Senior Sister Xu did not directly answer her question, but said, "This object comes from an ancient ruins. The client has been studying it for a long time but failed to discover its true purpose, so it was entrusted to our Treasure Pavilion."

"Unfortunately, after several rounds of appraisals in the pavilion, the true identity of this object is still vague. We only know that it contains huge energy, but there is no conclusion yet on how to use it. Since Junior Sister Ye wants this thing so much, does it mean that, Do you know the true purpose of this crystal?"

Speaking of this, a light flashed in Senior Sister Xu's eyes, and she stared directly at Ye Pianran, who was shrouded in a cloak, with a very tough attitude.

Ye Pianran said nothing.

Moreover, since her cloak can block the prying eyes of her consciousness, her reaction and expression cannot be confirmed.

The scene fell into a stalemate for a moment. Yao Anping, sensing something was wrong in the atmosphere, looked around, put on a smile and prepared to be a peacemaker.

At this time, Senior Sister Xu next to her suddenly relaxed her body and showed a gentle smile. Her face changed so quickly, as if what happened before was all an illusion.

"It's just a joke, how could Junior Sister Ye know about something that our Treasure Pavilion couldn't even find out?" Senior Sister Xu smiled broadly, "Junior Sister Ye won't mind, right?"

"How could that be?" Ye Pianran said, but there was no emotion that could be heard. Senior Sister Xu concealed the emotions in her eyes well and continued to introduce.

"Although I don't know the specific purpose of this object, what is certain is that this object is absolutely extraordinary. Considering various factors, our pavilion finally decided to sell it at auction. The starting price is one spiritual stone."

The syllables of the last sentence were heavily bitten. Senior Sister Xu was smiling, but her consciousness was firmly locked on Ye Pianran, refusing to miss any changes.

But she was quickly disappointed because she noticed nothing.

"Uncle Master doesn't want to say that he wants to sell it to me for the price of one spiritual stone." Ye Pianran seemed to be unaware and chuckled, "If it is true, then I am very lucky today. .”

"Junior sister Ye is really good at joking." Senior sister Xu calmly withdrew her consciousness, and finally gave up her thoughts of continuing to test, "It's not impossible for you to buy this thing, but the fixed price is [-] spiritual stones."

Hearing this, Yao Anping's eyes widened, and before he could speak, a low laugh came from the black cloak.

"Seven hundred thousand spiritual stones? Master uncle is really a lion. I am just an outer disciple, how can I get so many spiritual stones. Furthermore, the origin and purpose of this object are unknown. Even if it is sold at auction, thirty The Ten Thousand Spirit Stones are worth the weight of the sky, but my uncle wants to sell them to me at double the price. Are you treating me like a fool?"

Ye Pianran said calmly, "Four hundred thousand spiritual stones. This is the limit I can bear. If the deal fails, I will leave now."

In one sentence, the price was cut by nearly half. This courage made Yao Anping look at her a few more times.

In fact, when he brought the three jade boxes over, he had already been informed of the corresponding prices. That unknown crystal happened to be [-] spirit stones.

As for the situation at the auction, according to Yao Anping's experience, it is actually similar to what Ye Pianran said, but it does not rule out that special circumstances can lead to a high price far exceeding expectations.

Because of this, the pricing of lots sold in advance is higher than the estimated transaction price.

However, Yao Anping did not have enough authority to sell the lot privately, so he had to ask Senior Sister Xu for instructions. Otherwise, the deal would have been completed long ago.

But Senior Sister Xu's idea was obviously different from his. Senior Sister Xu did not let go and argued, "What do you mean by unknown origin? This object comes from ancient ruins and has a great background. I want to take it for only [-] yuan. It is too little, at least [-] yuan." Ten thousand."

Ye Pianran didn't want to say anything, so she just insisted, "Four hundred thousand."

Four hundred thousand spirit stones are less than half of the leader's reward. A high-grade foundation-building pill costs one hundred thousand. How could it be her entire net worth?
  Senior Sister Xu looked at her with nothing, and almost wanted to vomit blood, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Fifty thousand, no less."

Ye Pianran shook her head and walked directly to the door, "It seems that the deal is not done."

"and many more!"

Seeing that she was really going to leave, Senior Sister Xu didn't even hesitate. The last doubt in her heart was finally dissipated, and she sighed, "I lost to you. I can't lose even one penny of the [-] spirit stones."

"It'd be better if it didn't happen sooner."

Ye Pianran turned around from the door, a sly smile appeared on her face under the hood, but unfortunately no other person saw it.

She returned to the table, placed [-] spirit stones and two high-grade foundation-building pills on the table, and successfully replaced the jade box containing the white crystals.
