A seal of immortality

Chapter 192 The Auction and the Woman in the Black Dress
"By the way, Junior Brother Wang, if you have nothing else to do, you can attend the auction held in Taiqingfang City before leaving," Chen Baofeng said when he sent Wang Changsheng out of the bamboo forest, as if thinking of something.

"Oh, the auction? Does Senior Brother Chen know when it will be held?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously after hearing the words.

"After more than a month, this auction will be held by this sect. It is held once every ten years. It is specially aimed at the cultivators of the foundation period. This sect will also bring out some good things for auction, some things that need a lot of contribution points to exchange for. , you can also see it at the auction, so you might as well go and have a look,

Maybe you can find something you like at auction," Chen Baofeng explained with a smile.

"So that's the case, thank you Senior Brother Chen for your guidance," Wang Changsheng suddenly realized, and thanked him.

After leaving Wanzhu Valley, Wang Changsheng went to the Buddhist scripture pavilion of the Xuanfu lineage, and copied the exercises below the alchemy stage of "Golden Yang Gong", and copied several secret techniques practiced by the foundation-building monks. Then I went to the mansion of two friends, Zhang Tianxing and Zheng Ming, intending to visit them and share their experience in talisman making.

It's a pity that the two were not in the mansion and seemed to have gone out. Wang Changsheng left a sound transmission talisman for each of them and left.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Changsheng went to the Deacon's Tower, spent all the remaining 1 contribution points, and exchanged them for a batch of cultivation resources, all of which were suitable for foundation-building monks.

After finishing all this, Wang Changsheng went to Baiyao Mountain, came to the gate of Zhao Xiaoshan's courtyard, and threw a sound transmission talisman into the courtyard.

Not long after, Zhao Xiaoshan opened the door and walked out, leading Wang Changsheng into the house.

"Junior Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a year, but you succeeded in building the foundation," Zhao Xiaoshan looked Wang Changsheng up and down, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, didn't Senior Brother Zhao also succeed in building the foundation? We are all happy together," Wang Changsheng swept his spiritual sense and found that Zhao Xiaoshan also succeeded in building the foundation, and his mana was somewhat stronger than his.

"Hey, it's really enviable to hear that Junior Brother Wang won the No. Let's leave the sect to practice! Do you want to go back to Ningzhou? You and I are from the same town, do you want to go on the road together?"

"When are you leaving?"

"Just set off in the past few days, besides the two of us, there are also a few fellow villagers who worship in other branch lines. They have admired the name of the younger brother for a long time, and they are just introduced to the younger brother."

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng was a little moved. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't we wait a little longer before going on the road?"

"I'm in a hurry at home, so I have to go back early, what's the matter? Junior brother can't get away?" Seeing the hesitant expression on Wang Changsheng's face, Zhao Xiaoshan asked.

"I heard that there will be an auction in Taiqingfang City in more than a month. I want to see it."

"I've also heard about the auction. If it wasn't for urgent matters at home that required me to go back, I would have stayed and participated," said Zhao Xiaoshan at the end with a regretful expression.

"Since junior brother is going to participate in the auction, let's go first, but if junior brother returns to Ningzhou, he must come to Qingmuya to find me," Zhao Xiaoshan reminded as if he remembered something.

"That's for sure," Wang Changsheng nodded.

Next, Wang Changsheng chatted with Zhao Xiaoshan. When Zhao Xiaoshan learned that Wang Changsheng worshiped under the alchemy cultivator's sect, he was very surprised and spoke in a much more cordial tone.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaoshan personally sent Wang Changsheng out of the door.

After leaving Baiyao Mountain, Wang Changsheng left the sect, and the imperial weapon flew towards Taiqingfang City.

When Wang Changsheng arrived in Taiqingfang City, it was already dark, so he found an inn and stayed.

After closing the door, Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the jade slip that recorded "Golden Yang Gong", and checked the contents inside.

This "Golden Yang Kungfu" has a total of thirteen layers, which can be cultivated from the Qi refining stage to the legendary Spirit Transformation stage. The monks in the first three layers of Qi refining stage can practice, and the fourth to sixth layers need to have a building. Only basic monks can practice. After the first three levels of cultivation are successful, they can condense the spiritual armor with mana. The defensive ability of the spiritual armor is comparable to that of a middle-level defensive magic weapon.

After successfully cultivating the fourth level, the spiritual armor can be condensed in an instant. After cultivating to the sixth level, the defensive ability of the spiritual armor is comparable to that of a top-level defensive magic weapon. Defense magic weapon.

Many disciples choose "Golden Yang Gong" as their major training method. Unfortunately, only one of the disciples who practiced this method has condensed the Nascent Soul and died thousands of years ago. Then again, let alone condensing the Nascent Soul, it is very difficult for most immortal cultivators to connect to the pill. You must know that even one of the ten monks in the Qi refining period may succeed in building the foundation, and a hundred monks in the Foundation building period may not necessarily be able to enter the knot. Dan period.

Therefore, many monks in the foundation period who choose "Golden Yang Gong" as their main practice method are more because of their supernatural power of condensing spiritual armor and their reputation of Zhenzong's unique knowledge, while Wang Changsheng chose "Golden Yang Gong" as their major. Gongfa is also because of these two reasons.

Although Wang Changsheng is a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he still has to practice from the first level, so that the basic skills are relatively solid.

Wang Changsheng took a deep breath, and practiced according to the first layer of formulas in "Golden Yang Gong"...
A month later, Wang Changsheng was still sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed.

Wang Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, a golden light appeared on his body, protecting his body inside.

Different from common defensive shields, the golden light is not oval, it seems to grow on Wang Changsheng's body, even the clothes on his body are blocked by the golden light, and his whole body is golden, which is unusually conspicuous.

Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment, and reached for the storage bag on his waist with his right hand, and a bright red dagger appeared in his hand, injected with mana, the surface of the dagger flashed red, and then stabbed at his left arm.

There was a "clang" sound of metal colliding, and the dagger was blocked from the golden light.

Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. This dagger is a middle-level magic weapon. It is already very good that the spirit armor condensed with mana can block a blow from a middle-level magic weapon. Whether the layer can block the attack of the top-level magic weapon.

Wang Changsheng copied the experience of several foundation-building monks practicing "Golden Yang Kungfu". In addition, he practiced metal-based exercises before foundation-building. At this speed, it won’t take long to practice to the late stage of foundation establishment, but this is just a delusion. It is mentioned in the jade slip that some talented disciples have also improved rapidly after practicing this skill after foundation establishment, and some even have less than one Yue cultivated to the fourth level.

This is also a common problem of many exercises. It is easy to practice at the beginning, but the more difficult it is, the longer it takes.

Calculating the time, the auction will start in a few days, and it is also time to prepare for returning home.

Thinking about this, Wang Changsheng opened the door and walked out, going to the Taiqing Pagoda.

An hour later, Wang Changsheng returned to the inn. Half of the spirit stones in the storage bag were missing, and there were dozens of mid-to-high-level magic tools and some pills taken by monks in the Qi refining stage. These were gifts he brought to his tribe. With these things, I believe the overall strength of the family can be improved a lot.

Ten years ago, Wang Changsheng left Ningzhou privately. He did not know how many dangers he encountered. Then he arrived in Fengzhou. After many tests, he worshiped under the Taiqing Palace. Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng felt a little proud. If he had stayed in Ningzhou back then, let alone worshiping under the alchemy monks, it would have been difficult to build a foundation. Fortunately, he did not stay in Ningzhou. Ningzhou has achieved today's achievements. With his current status and cultivation level, I am afraid that the heads of the major cultivating families in the Yueyang Mountains will be polite to him.

Of course, it's still too early to think about this, and we'll wait until he returns to Ningzhou.

Three days later, the auction meeting finally started.

Although the auction was only for the Foundation Establishment period, with the prestige of the Taiqing Palace and the vigorous publicity in advance, it still attracted many immortal cultivators to participate. Of course, most of them were disciples of the Taiqing Palace, and a small number were other cultivators. Or casual repair.

The street was full of people, bustling and lively. Wang Changsheng passed through the crowded people, and after turning three intersections, he came to an open bluestone square. architecture.

The whole building covers an area of ​​several acres, and the whole body is built with a kind of white rock. Many lifelike rare animals are carved on the cornices and bucket arches on each floor, which looks extremely exquisite.

On the lintel on the ground floor of the building, a silver plaque can be seen from a distance, on which the three golden characters of "Taiqing Pavilion" are unusually conspicuous.

Taiqing Pavilion, you can tell from the name that it is the property of Taiqing Palace. Taiqing Pavilion is not open to the public on weekdays, only the place where the auction is held is open to the public.

At this time, a large number of immortal cultivators continued to enter the Taiqing Pavilion. In order to prevent people from causing trouble, several disciples of the Taiqing Palace were sent to guard the entrance.

In the center of the hall is a circular high platform with a white jade table on it. Many people walked upstairs through the stairs on the left, but more people stayed in the hall.

At this time, it seemed that it was still early for the auction, and there were not many people in the hall, only a few hundred people, but the number was increasing, and some acquaintances gathered together and whispered.

Wang Changsheng found an empty seat near the front and sat down, closed his eyes and meditated.

After an unknown amount of time, three loud bells echoed throughout the hall, and the auction began.

Wang Changsheng opened his eyes and saw that on the circular high platform in the center of the hall, there was a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a fair face. Regardless of his young age, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk.

This is also quite normal. Those who can appear here are all foundation-building monks. If the person hosting the auction does not have strong strength, they may not be able to hold the scene.

"I'm Huang Maocai, who is in charge of hosting this auction. I won't say too much. The highest bidder wins. I think everyone is getting impatient. Huang is now announcing that the auction will begin," the middle-aged Confucian scholar said two times. After saying this, he announced with a light cough that the auction had started.

Although the voice of the middle-aged Confucian scholar was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly when it contained mana.

"The first item in this auction, the Black Flame Knife, a top-level magic weapon, is made from the sharp claws of the second-level monster Black Flame Spider. The base price is 500 yuan of spirit stones, and the price will not be lower than [-] each time. "The middle-aged Confucian scholar took out a black flying knife about a foot long from the storage bag while talking.

Wang Changsheng now has five top-level magical weapons, three offensive and two defensive, and three talisman treasures and several middle-level talisman seals. Naturally, he will not be interested in this black flame knife. Although he has a lot of spirit stones, he is also Use it where it matters.

Just because Wang Changsheng is not interested does not mean that others are not interested.

"Six hundred spirit stones."

"I will pay 700 yuan."

"900 Yuan Lingshi."

······
As soon as the middle-aged Confucian scholar finished speaking, many people immediately shouted prices.

This top-level magic weapon "Black Flame Knife" was finally bought by a monk wearing a black cloak for 1000 and [-] spirit stones.

The middle-aged Confucian scholar waited for the man to sit back, turned over one hand, and there was a white bead the size of a longan in his hand, and introduced:

"The second auction item, Sky Crystal Bead, a top-tier defensive magic weapon, can release a two-foot-wide shield after casting a spell, and the top-tier offensive magic weapon can also damage it in the slightest. The starting price is 700 yuan for spirit stones. Each price increase shall not be less than one hundred."

Defensive artifacts, especially top-tier defensive artifacts are extremely rare, so many immortal cultivators began to bid for them.

"1000 Yuan Lingshi."

"A thousand and one."

"One thousand and three hundred yuan."

Wang Changsheng was also a little tempted by this top-level defensive magic weapon, so he said, "I will offer 700 yuan of spirit stones."

"I'll pay two thousand," an obese middle-aged man sitting in front of Wang Changsheng stood up and said.

For Wang Changsheng, 2000 yuan to buy a top-level defensive magic weapon was not worth it, so he stopped talking.

After hearing the high price of 2000 yuan for Lingshi, the others also gave up bidding.

After the obese man stepped forward to hand in the spirit stone, he returned to his seat with an ecstatic expression on his face.

Next, the middle-aged Confucian scholar took out several top-level instruments and several middle-level talisman seals, all of which were sold at high prices by many enthusiastic monks, igniting the atmosphere in the hall.

"Five 400-year-old Phantom Sungrass are auctioned together. The base price is 700 yuan of spirit stones, and each increase should not be less than 200 yuan of spirit stones." The jade boxes are exactly the same. When you open the jade boxes, you can see a small red grass that is about a foot long inside each, and a faint medicinal fragrance spreads out.

"I'll offer 2000 yuan of spirit stones." Wang Changsheng's eyes lit up when he saw the five elixirs. 400-year-old elixirs are rare in the market. If it weren't for the auction, they wouldn't have seen them. To prevent anyone from bidding, he directly shouted a high price. In the market, the price of a 400-year-old elixir is generally around 300 yuan. , he might as well quote a high price at the beginning to scare off some bidders.

"I pay two thousand and two," a pleasant female voice came from behind Wang Changsheng.

"Two thousand and five," Wang Changsheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and added 300 yuan of spirit stones.

"Two thousand seven," the woman's voice sounded again.

Wang Changsheng frowned, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and looked behind him.

There is only one woman behind Wang Changsheng. This woman is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Mid-term cultivation base.

Seeing Wang Changsheng looking over, the woman glared at him, and said coquettishly, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman? Look again? Believe it or not, I'll dig out your eyeballs."

Hearing this, Wang Changsheng frowned, but he still turned his head away. He was wearing the costume of a disciple of the Taiqing Palace. It is impossible for this woman not to know that he is a disciple of the Taiqing Palace. The disciples of the Qing Palace said such things, either they have a strong background or they are stunned. Judging from the several spirit beast bags hanging on their waists, they should be the children of a certain clan who cultivated immortals. Wang Changsheng didn't want to cause any trouble just because of a few words, so he endured it.

　Regarding the plot of this chapter, I hesitated for a long time, mainly because of the setting of the characters that appeared. Fortunately, I finally wrote it out.
