Mortal Seeking Immortal

Then Xue Mei took out a piece of paper and wrote down the procedures for Ye Zhou's Millennium Moon-Watching Grass in the beautiful handwriting on the table, and stamped it with a seal and fingerprint, and handed the procedures to Ye Zhou: "With this certificate, you can get the part that exceeds the reserve price after the auction."

Then Xue Mei called a beautiful maid with a graceful figure and ordered: "Take this distinguished guest to the box on the second floor and treat him well. Don't be negligent, otherwise you will be held accountable!"

The maid hurriedly responded.

Then Xue Mei said to Ye Zhou with full apology: "I'm very sorry, young master, I should take you to the box in person, but the auction is about to start, and I have other things to deal with. Please forgive me if I am not entertaining you well."

Ye Zhou smiled politely: "It's okay, Miss Xue Mei, please do as you please."

Xue Mei nodded slightly to Ye Zhou and left in a hurry. Ye Zhou followed the maid out of the room. The two walked in the winding and dim passage for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at a staircase.

Just as he was about to go up, Ye Zhou heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, as if many people were coming from behind. Ye Zhou paused for a moment and saw a dozen people following a manager of Wanbao Auction House.

None of these dozen people wore masks. The man walking in the middle was the young patriarch of Linjiabao. He held a woman in one hand and read a thin book in the other. Two elderly foundation-building cultivators stood on his left and right.

When walking by Ye Zhou, the young patriarch stared at a certain place in the book, showing a look of surprise: "I didn't expect that there would be such a treasure at this auction. It's really a piece of cake!"

The maid leading the way in front didn't see Ye Zhou catch up for a long time, and looked back at Ye Zhou in confusion: "Sir?"

Ye Zhou quickly followed.

The maid led Ye Zhou to a small private room, which was fully stocked with tea, snacks, and a set of comfortable tables and chairs for guests to rest. Opposite the tables and chairs was a viewing terrace.

Ye Zhou walked to the edge of the terrace and looked out. He saw rows of regular seats below the terrace, which could accommodate thousands of people. Opposite the terrace was a bright and smooth marble platform, where the auction would be held.

Ye Zhou looked around again and saw many similar boxes around his box, but they were of different sizes. The box Ye Zhou was in was only of medium size.

The young patriarch of Linjiabao and his party were sitting in a large box not far from Ye Zhou, talking and laughing. Because of the formation in the box, Ye Zhou could not hear what they were talking about.

At this time, the maid took a booklet from the table and came over to hand it to Ye Zhou, saying respectfully: "Sir, there is still one hour before the auction starts. These are the items to be auctioned at this auction. You can take a look to see if there is anything you are interested in."

Ye Zhou took the booklet and found that it was the booklet that the young patriarch of Linjiabao had held before. He then sat on the chair and flipped through it.

This booklet was very beautifully made. It not only introduced all the information of the items to be auctioned in this auction, but also drew the images of the items, which made it clear at a glance.

After flipping through a few pages of the booklet, Ye Zhou's eyes fixed on one of the items, which turned out to be a tattered map fragment!

Although only a small part of this map fragment was drawn, Ye Zhou still recognized that this map fragment was from the same map as the map fragment he got from Zhao Xu!

Ye Zhou frowned slightly and began to think.

"I don't know what the map records, a treasure map? Ancient tombs? Or ancient sect ruins, or some dangerous place."

"At present, I don't know how many pieces of this fragment map there are. If the bidding is too high and exceeds expectations, I will not participate in the auction. The risk is too great!"

Whether it is a treasure map or a ruins map, it is not easy to find treasures. Sometimes the treasures are taken away, but the map is still lost in the world. Some people spend a lot of money to collect the maps, and finally find the location marked on the map after searching for several years, but there is nothing left.

There are also some ruins with guarding formations, and entering the ruins is a life-threatening situation.

There are also some guarding monsters that eat people without spitting out bones.

With Ye Zhou's current cultivation, he does not plan to take the risk to go to these unknown places.

"But the starting price of this map fragment is only one hundred low-grade spirit stones. If there is no one who knows the value of it, it is estimated that it will not be sold at a high price. It should be easy to get it."

"I just don't know if this piece plus my piece can form a complete map."

Ye Zhou thought that this map was worth five thousand spirit stones at most. If he really met an opponent who knew the value of it, he would miss it. Of course, if the auction price was within his acceptable range, he would naturally try his best to get it.

Then Ye Zhou flipped through a few pages and found that they were all some magic tools, spiritual plants, elixirs, talismans, etc. Among them, there was a Qi training magic tool called the Golden Silkworm Net that attracted Ye Zhou's interest.

This magic tool is made of golden silkworm silk and black iron wire. It is impervious to water and fire and is extremely sticky. Once caught by this net, even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building will have to spend some effort to break free.

The starting price of this golden silkworm net is two thousand low-grade spirit stones. It is a bit expensive, but it is easy to use. It can be used to save lives at critical moments, and it may even be able to cross realms and kill.

When Ye Zhou flipped through the last few pages of the book, he saw a pill recipe and was surprised. Isn't it said that immortal cultivators treasure the pill recipes they get? Why would they easily put it up for auction?

After taking a closer look at the recipe, Ye Zhou suddenly realized that this was the case. The recipe recorded a method for refining a pill called Insect Feeding Pills.

Insect Feeding Pills are a must-have pill for cultivators who raise insects. They are useless to ordinary cultivators. Feeding insects with Insect Feeding Pills can accelerate their growth.

Ye Zhou's mysterious beetle had just hatched and needed Insect Feeding Pills to feed it.

However, the starting price of this Insect Feeding Pill was actually 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!

Ye Zhou seemed a little stretched.

Pill recipes are indeed the most expensive thing in the world of cultivation, second only to magic weapons. The starting price of a pill recipe that is useless to most cultivators can be set so high, not to mention those that are useful to cultivators.

Only Mr. Shu would let him see so many pill recipes for free.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhou decided to bid back the recipe for Insect Feeding Pills. However, the spirit stones on Ye Zhou were definitely not enough.

Ye Zhou called the beautiful maid and said, "Go tell your Lady Xue Mei that I want to sell some spiritual plants. I wonder if she is interested?"

The beautiful maid nodded and turned away in a hurry. Within half an hour, Xue Mei came with the old man Xu who was identifying spiritual plants.

As soon as he entered the door, before Xue Mei could speak, Ye Zhou directly took out four more wooden boxes from the storage bag and opened them on the table. This time, Ye Zhou took out four different spiritual plants.

Xue Mei nodded to old Xu, and old Xu immediately stepped forward to identify the spiritual plants in the wooden boxes.
