Chapter 286: The Miraculous Use of the Charm Skill, Pixiu Puppet (3K)
Tide-watching conch is a unique snail-like creature found in the delta at the mouth of the Cangjiang River.
It is said that every year on August 18th, the waves from the sea will flow upstream into the Cangjiang River, making waves sound like thunder, causing all kinds of incredible changes.
On this day, a conch sleeping below the Cangjiang Delta will be awakened by the sound of the waves, climb to the highest peak in the continent, and look back at the Cangjiang tide, hence the name "Tide Watching Conch".
This kind of conch belongs to the water element, and there is a tide-listening stone in its body, which can use its spiritual energy to create the spectacular scene of the Cangjiang River's tidal waves crashing on the shore, as well as the sound of the thundering waves and the sounds of the sky.
Those who practice water-based exercises can build a foundation with this spiritual object, which can consolidate the foundation and add these two changes to their own true energy.
But similarly, wanting to control these two changes is naturally a bit more difficult than ordinary foundation building.
Li Qing frowned slightly and asked Li Yu: "Have you thought about it? This tide-watching conch is much more difficult to refine than the Xuanshui Stone."
Li Yu said firmly: "We have it. You taught me the superior method of "Canghai Tide Sheng Jue". I won't give it up anymore. "
"That's it!" Li Qing shook his head, "You can ask the family for the price. I have used your quota of 8,000 spiritual stones to purchase two foundation-building spiritual objects.”
"You spent 3,400 pieces on the pulse-protecting grass, and you have 4,600 pieces left. If the difference in price of the tide-watching conch is within this number, I will give you credit first."
Li Yu heard this. Hi: "Then I'll thank you in advance. The total price is 9,200 low-grade spiritual stones. It should be no problem to take a picture of the tidal conch."
Li Qing only reminded: "If you press the fairy city According to the rules, the conch must be photographed only after the Xuanshui Stone. If you don't take the photo, then the trip will be in vain."
Li Yu was silent for a moment: "Even so, I still want to try. Give it a try."
The two left the rented temporary cave and walked to "Rongbaozhai", the organizer of the auction.
Rongbaozhai is not the official business name of Tanyuan Immortal City, but the family business of a founding prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has branches in all Jiedan sects in the territory, as well as in the more popular cities.
This branch of Tanyuan Immortal City covers an area of fifty acres. In the core area of the Immortal City with every inch of land and spiritual stone, its scale is second only to the cave of Master Tanyuan.
The entire building is made of gold tiles and red walls, with a pair of puppets placed on both sides of the door. Their strength is said to be close to the third level.
The two puppets are each carved with gold and jade. Their bodies are like tigers and leopards, their heads and tails are like dragons, they have wings on their shoulders but cannot extend them, and they have two horns on their heads that are tilted back.
It is the legendary mythical beast Pixiu.
Li Qing had seen it before building the foundation, but did not find it magical.
Now that he has built the foundation, refined his spiritual consciousness several times, and made the Taihao Palace fake into reality, he finally discovered the beauty of it.
He circulated the foundation-building consciousness, blessed by Etai Hao Palace, and looked at the two Pixiu puppets from a distance.
I saw pedestrians coming and going near Rongbaozhai, with a faint golden light rising from their bodies, swirling into Pixiu's mouth.
The glimmer of light goes in and out, and after being refined several times in its belly, it is able to warm and nourish the puppet itself.
As time goes by, the puppet has not become obsolete, but has become more and more powerful, making ordinary monks dare not look directly at it.
He couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of the Duke of Kaiwang, his background is amazing."
"This pair of gold and jade braves, given time, may not be able to be promoted to the third level, and directly be on an equal footing with the host. "
Li Yu didn't feel too deeply. Seeing many people rushing to Rongbao Zhai, he hurriedly hinted to Li Qing to join them.
Li Qing smiled slightly, and the Taihao Palace in the Lingtai trembled slightly, suppressing the energy of the whole body, and the two brave animals could not absorb his golden light.
"Come in!"
Li Yu had already planned his itinerary. As soon as he entered, Zhi Ke led the two of them to a private room on the third floor of Rongbaozhai.
Looking down from the box at the auction exhibition hall below, it is like looking at the grain on the palm of your hand, clearly visible.
"Two distinguished guests, this third-floor private room is prepared for a foundation-building overhaul like Senior Li. It is equipped with a magic weapon specially used for bidding, so you don't have to bid in person like the qi-training monks below. "
Zhike introduced enthusiastically: "In addition, we will also give you a pot of second-level spiritual tea, a spiritual fruit, and spiritual snacks. Please use it with ease. "
Li Qing nodded slightly, casually tipped a small bag of spiritual stones, and then asked Li Yu to send the person out of the box.
He shook his head and sighed: "After foundation building, compared with the Qi training period, it is really different."
"I went to the auction house and spent spirit stones. You can only enter the private rooms on the second floor, and there are no such services. Now you don’t have to pay a penny to get it.”
Li Yu felt even more deeply: “I used to have private rooms in other Rongbaozhai branches. I don’t dare to rent, so I can only ask people for prices in the lobby on the first floor. After all, I am nervous about the spiritual stones.” , and at the same time, I didn’t even dare to bid too loudly.”
The two of them looked at each other in silence, and had no choice but to raise their glasses and taste the second-level spiritual tea sent by Rongbaozhai.
In this way, about a quarter of an hour later, a bell rang in the hall downstairs, and the auction officially began.
"Dear distinguished guests, welcome to the Class C auction held once every quarter in Rongbaozhai Tanyuan Branch. The little old Eryu Jizi has been appointed to host this auction."
An old man with a smile walked up to the high platform, bowed in all directions, and started the auction without any more nonsense.
Li Qing's eyes flashed slightly, and he discovered that this jade girl seemed to have practiced some kind of "charm skill", which could increase the affinity of his smile and the appeal of his words.
If Li Qing hadn't made the Taihao Palace fake into reality, he wouldn't even have realized this at all with his original spiritual consciousness in the foundation building stage.
"This is a bit outrageous!" He shook his head secretly, "Can the Mei Gong be used like this? It's an eye-opener."
I have to say that although this move is off-center, But it really works.
With only a little provocation from the little old man, the monks in the hall and the second floor began to frantically bid for various items. Even for many private rooms on the third to fourth floors, there are quotes from time to time.
Li Qing was greatly impressed when he saw with his own eyes that a group of Fengyang grasses worth only six hundred spirit stones were sold for a high price of one thousand spirit stones.
“Let’s make arrangements for our Qinghefang City stewards later.” He turned to Li Yu and told Li Yu, “Let them all practice a charm skill.”
“Ah?!” Li Yu was dumbfounded, "Our stewards are basically all old men! They are not young anymore."
Li Qing glanced at the crazy auction: "Open your mind a little. Xiu Mei Gong is here again. It's not to seduce married women..."
Li Yu couldn't understand it, but he still wrote it down.
The two of them drank spiritual tea and tasted spiritual fruit and spiritual food while paying attention to the auction items that were taking turns.
Many of them are useful to Li Yu. If he hadn't been thinking about the tide-watching conch, he would have already bid four or five times.
After such an hour, the jade machine opened a jade box, revealing a light blue gem.
“Dear guests, this is a Xuanshui stone, which is an excellent spiritual object for water monks to build foundations. Its characteristics are peaceful, and using it as an aid can increase the probability of foundation building by 20%. "
"I will give you two thousand spiritual stones!" A monk at the peak of Qi training in the hall couldn't wait to raise his hand.
"Two thousand two!"
"Two thousand three!"
"Three thousand one!"
The bids kept coming and going, and there was no need for Jade Machine to talk. There were already more than thirty monks who couldn't help but raise their hands.
“Four thousand spirit stones!” Someone suddenly made a quote from a private room on the third floor.
Li Qing glanced at Li Yu: "You really don't want this? After passing this village, there is no such store."
Li Yu shook his head and simply turned away, not looking at the auction items below. .
The value of four thousand spiritual stones is very close to that of Xuanshui Stone.
The atmosphere at the scene was stagnant for a while. Someone in a box on the second floor called out: "Four thousand and fifty pieces!"
"Four thousand two hundred pieces!" Don’t hesitate to increase prices.
"Four thousand two hundred and fifty!" The man on the second floor hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth and increased the price.
Obviously, this price is close to his limit.
But the man on the third floor only replied lightly: "Four thousand four hundred pieces!"
With that said, without waiting for the man on the second floor to continue to increase the price, he abandoned Rongbaozhai directly. Bidding magic weapon, he said loudly: "Fellow Taoist Yujizi, this price is already much higher than Xuanshui Stone, that's enough..."
"It turns out to be the ancestor of the Leng family!" Everyone present reacted and started talking. One after another.
"This ancestor is amazing. Ten years ago, the previous ancestor was killed by Jie Xiu. He also lost his life with the Foundation Establishment Seed. The Foundation Establishment Pill he just bought was also lost."
"He When he was in danger, he resolutely decided to build the foundation on his own, and it actually happened! "
"Originally, the Leng family fell out of the ranks of the foundation building family, but he was suddenly promoted to the throne. What a legend! "
There were originally a few people present who were interested in the Xuanshui Stone, but after knowing that it was the ancestor of the Leng family who made the bid, they all gave up.
After all, great monks who build their own foundations are usually stronger than those who take foundation-building pills.
There is no need to offend such a promising foundation-building overhaul for a Xuanshui stone that costs a lot of money.
Yu Jizi was praised by the ancestor of the Leng family, and he was not angry: "Since Fellow Daoist Leng is interested and the other fellow Daoists have not continued to increase the price, then..."
Li Qing's eyes flashed slightly. Flash, with the blessing of his spiritual consciousness, he heard all the discussions in the field: "Hey, this is really a narrow road for enemies..."
He picked up the quotation instrument and entered a number with his spiritual consciousness.
“Four thousand five hundred!”
There was an uproar in the venue.
“This fellow Taoist bought a Xuanshui stone for four thousand and five low-grade spiritual stones. Isn’t it a little impulsive?” The ancestor of the Leng family was a little unhappy.
Li Qing smiled and replied directly: "It's hard to buy a good heart! I can take this Xuanshui stone back to lay the pool, it will be very good."
"Four thousand six hundred pieces! "The ancestor of the Leng family said in a low voice.
This was Li Yu’s original bottom line for taking the photo of Xuanshui Stone.
Li Qing didn't even frown: "Four thousand eight hundred pieces! If fellow Taoist still wants to increase the price, I will accompany you."
"You——" The ancestor of the Leng family snorted coldly and wanted to increase the price, but Finally I endured it.
Li Yu looked at Li Qing with confusion, wondering why he suddenly became angry and wasted his spirit stones.
Li Qing chuckled and said: "I still have some grudges with the Leng family. Since he wants this Xuanshui Stone, I will not let him get his wish."
