Chapter 676 Bubbles, Swamps
(A two-in-one chapter, some book friends reported that they read it in one go after reading it separately. Later, the two chapters were merged and posted together to see the effect.)
"You guys from Yunya Auction are quite secretive, how should I find you? "
Lu Xiaotian was not prepared to ask for it at first, but after hearing Feng Shikuan's words, he became excited again and saw the strength of the auction house. It would be a good thing if Yunya Auction House was willing to help him collect those spiritual objects, at least it would be better than It would be much better to go find him alone.
During the bidding, when extremely powerful spiritual thoughts were communicating in the auction, Lu Xiaotian was shocked to know that there were no less than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators on the second floor of the auction. In comparison, previous auctions were just appetizers.
Lu Xiaotian still underestimated the attraction of the "Red Flame Pagoda Magic Skill" to Yuanying monks, or in other words, he underestimated the effect of the skills on Yuanying monks who could practice to the late stage of divine transformation. Even in Chiyuan Continent, most of the Immortal Cultivation Cultivation Families’ techniques that have been passed down for thousands of years can only reach the peak of Nascent Soul. As for the road ahead, you have to explore it yourself. After all, Chiyuan Continent has hundreds of immortal kingdoms, but the transformation of gods The monks only exist in rumors. The skills that can be practiced to the Nascent Soul stage are enough to become the treasure of the clan. This set of exercises was directly photographed for 1.7 million mid-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to 170 million low-grade spiritual stones.
After deducting the remuneration paid to the auction house, as well as the previous photos of the flowers and leaves on the other side, the Fire Cloud Bowl, and the Nirvana Sword Orchid. Lu Xiaotian still saved nearly 100 million low-grade spiritual stones.
“This is the VIP talisman of my auction house. If you need it in the future, you can use this talisman to inquire about some spiritual objects in the auction in advance. If you can provide treasures similar to this technique, you can even ask for it. After the auction, exchange in advance, or pay a certain amount of spiritual stones in advance, My auction will help you pay attention to the spiritual objects you want.”
When the battle for the eleventh-level puppet Xuanjiabei, the last item in the auction, became intense, Lu Xiaotian chose to leave at this time and get it. When picking up the storage bag containing spiritual stones, Feng Shikuan took out a yellow spiritual talisman.
"That being said, I really have something to collect. It would be great if your auction house could help me collect it." Lu Xiaotian said.
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu wants to collect?" Feng Shikuan said with interest.
"The Sky Ming Sword Stone, the Nirvana Sword Orchid, the Infant Fruit, or the spirit essence of the tenth-level monster, if there is an eleventh-level one, that's fine too." Lu Xiaotian said briefly. What you want.
“Pfft——” Feng Shikuan was drinking spiritual tea. After hearing Lu Xiaotian’s words, a mouthful of spiritual tea spurted out from his mouth, and then he said with some embarrassment, “Your guest has a really big appetite.”< br>
“Do you think I can have such a big appetite alone?” Lu Xiaotian said with a meaningful smile.
"Yes, the gaffe, the gaffe, made the distinguished guest laugh. The things the distinguished guest wants are not simple. Our auction house also costs a certain amount of money to collect them. The distinguished guest needs to pay a heavy deposit." Feng Shikuan apologized with a smile. Tao, although Lu Xiaotian It was nonsense, but Feng Shikuan believed it. After all, there were so many things that a golden elixir monk could not eat. Even a large-scale immortal cultivating family, the inherited Yuanying family, with a big family and a big business, could not possibly eat it. Resources are tilted towards a monk. Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator wants to take these things, he can't do it casually.
"How much is needed?"
"A deposit of 40 million low-grade spiritual stones. And if the auction house collects such things in the future, if the distinguished guest fails to show up to pick them up within three years, the deposit will be gone. As for when the time comes The price should be 90% of the latest auction price," Feng Shikuan said. "As for whether these spiritual objects have been collected, guests can check the website of any auction house through the spiritual talismans."
"That's fine." Lu Xiaotian nodded, Yunya Auction House is not a stall, there is a Set your own code of conduct. Lu Xiaotian did not negotiate the price. Although 40 million low-grade spiritual stones was not an ordinary amount, he had just received such a large amount of spiritual stones, and any less would not have any impact. After paying this amount, he still had more than 50 million. These things he needed could save his life at critical moments. If his life was gone, what was the use of spiritual stones.
“The distinguished guest is indeed very cheerful.” Feng Shikuan took the spirit stone handed back by Lu Xiaotian and appraised it slightly, unable to hide the smile on his face.
"In that case, I will stay here soon and wait for the good news from your bank." Lu Xiaotian nodded and stood up directly.
"The distinguished guest really doesn't wait until the auction is over before leaving? The eleventh-level puppet Xuan Jiabei is rare in the world. After the auction, there will still be a certain amount of spiritual stones in return for big customers like the distinguished guest." Feng Shikuan reminded.
“No, no matter how good the Xuanjiabei is, it belongs to someone else after all. A few more glances won’t have much effect.” Lu Xiaotian shook his head. As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already stepped out of the secret room and walked out of the other side. Lu left the auction.
“Be decisive, don’t be sloppy, don’t be moved by the number of spiritual stones, know very well what you want and what you don’t want. When did such a powerful golden elixir monk appear in this area of Blood Lion Mountain? ." Feng Shikuan murmured when he saw Lu Xiaotian leaving.
The excitement around the Blood Lion Mountain continues to grow, and the auction items inside have even seriously aroused the curiosity of these monks.
After Lu Xiaotian left the auction hall, he felt a little happy in his heart. He did not expect that the most valuable thing about Chiyun Sang was this set of exercises. Of course, Zhimu Yanmui was not included.
After finding a secluded and uninhabited corner, Lu Xiaotian returned to his original appearance and came to the bamboo house he had made an appointment with Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia.
More than half an hour later, Shao Zixia and Yu Dongbao came back together, but with them, there was another young man with thick eyebrows in black clothes, with a pair of eagle-like eyes that was particularly eye-catching. . There is also a woman in a purple skirt, who is very beautiful and graceful.
Shao Zixia returned to the Bamboo Tower and saw an extra silver-haired monk. A flash of surprise first flashed in her eyes, and then she looked blank and said with a smile, "This is the true appearance of Fellow Daoist Lu, right? It’s much more pleasing to the eye than before.”
“Fellow Daoist Lu is a man of his word. I wonder if he has ever bought it at an auction. What do you want?”
“With limited financial resources, I didn’t expect the price at the Yunya auction to be so high. Of course, the auction items are really extraordinary.” “Fellow Daoist Lu was right. I was right. The first time I went to Yunya Auction, I was just like you, leaving excitedly and returning disappointed." Yu Dongbao laughed loudly.
"Is this the alchemist you invited?" The eagle-eyed young man interrupted Yu Dongbao and asked, "Is it reliable? Please don't waste our time."
" Just try it and you will know. Fellow Daoist Lu, according to our agreement, we are about to set off now," Yu Dongbao said.
"The previous promise was just to help you refine the elixir for a month. Now there are two more people. The promised time remains the same, but for the extra time, you can figure it out yourself." Lu Xiaotian said calmly. .
"It will be done in one month." Shao Zixia nodded.
After a while, the group left the Blood Lion Mountain and flew deeper into the Black Sky Mountain Range. From Yu Dongbao's introduction, Lu Xiaotian learned that the eagle-eyed young man was called Huo Ying. As his name suggests, he was from a family of immortal cultivators in the Black Sky Mountains, the descendant of the Huo family.
Yu Dongbao, on the other hand, is the legitimate son of the Yu family who owns a large number of business houses in Wushang City, Heitian Mountains, and several surrounding countries. He spends lavishly. Shao Zixia and another woman in purple skirt, Mu Zixin, are Huo Ying's junior sisters. All come from extraordinary backgrounds.
Lu Xiaotian casually agreed with Yu Dongbao and Shao Zixia along the way, without saying much. He was already tens of thousands of miles away from the Blood Lion Mountain. He encountered several waves of monks in the process, but when he saw that Lu Xiaotian and his party were not many, Young Master, Yu Dongbao and others were very powerful, but they did not step forward rashly to provoke.
Until we arrived at a swamp area, bubbles kept popping up in the swamp, and a colorless gas with a slight fishy smell was faintly emitted from the bubbles. Lu Xiaotian accidentally took a sip and felt a slight dizziness in his head, but after all, he inhaled less and his magic power circulated slightly, so he expelled the discomfort from his body.
“This swamp is quite weird, especially the bubbles. The gas inside is unknown and can make people go insane. Brother Lu, don’t underestimate this gas, thinking that you can’t stop breathing if you hold your breath. Actually, even if you don’t breathe, this kind of gas can penetrate along the human skin unconsciously. Once too much is accumulated in the body, it will cause mental disorder. In serious cases, even the golden elixir monks will go crazy and die in this swamp. It is not known how many golden elixir monks have died here, but these are just a few. The human body was eaten by some monsters in the swamp," Yu Dongbao reminded with a serious look.
"Where is the three-leaf soul-fixing grass?"
Lu Xiaotian nodded and asked. Yu Dongbao didn't tell the truth, but his consciousness was so strong that he felt an evil force trying to penetrate his skin at this time. Even with the use of mana, it is difficult to completely block this evil force from the outside. It can only delay it to a certain extent, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. However, he was already a seventh-level physical cultivator at this time, and his body's defensive capabilities were not comparable to those of ordinary golden elixir cultivators. Even if this evil power invaded the body, it would be extremely slow. Coupled with the strength of his spiritual consciousness, I think To reach the point where it affects his sanity cannot be achieved in a day or two.
“This is just outside the swamp. When we get to where we are going, this evil power is several times greater. This is a soul-fixing pill that can restrain such evil power. Lu Brother, please remember to return it to me when the time comes." Shao Zixia waved her left hand, and a crystal green pill flew towards Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian could naturally see the origin of this elixir, and took it directly without saying a word.
"Let's go, Fellow Daoist Lu must refine the soul-fixing pill, otherwise there are many of us who are not just wandering around here with nothing to do." Huo Ying smiled and warned in his eyes. He glanced at Lu Xiaotian and said.
"It seems you weren't the one who invited me here. You seem to be too lenient." Lu Xiaotian replied rudely with a smile on his face.
"You! It seems that you are asking for trouble." Huo Ying had an angry face and stared at Lu Xiaotian with a pair of eagle-like eyes.
"Brother Yu, I only promised to come and refine the soul-fixing pill for you for a month, but I never promised you to accept these gossips. If you can't control your friend's mouth, our deal will be over. ." Lu Xiaotian crossed his arms and took a step back, keeping a distance from the others. Even if Huo Ying has entered the late stage of Golden Core, and the others are only in the middle stage of Golden Core, their strength cannot be judged by common sense. With his current strength, he wants to leave, and these few people cannot stop him. Now that I have just bought several treasures from Yunya Auction, I have a lot of things to do. There is no need to stay with a few people and suffer from this anger.
"It seems that Brother Lu is very confident, which is very good. Brother Huo, although Brother Lu is a new member, he is very important to this trip. You should restrain yourself." Yu Dongbao warned Huo Ying. . Without waiting for Huo Ying to reply, he took the lead and flew forward at a leisurely pace. He was only ten feet away from the swamp and did not fly too high.
Yu Dongbao also had some face. After hearing this, Huo Ying glared at Lu Xiaotian fiercely, and then jumped into the air.
"Brother Lu, please be at ease. With Yu Dongbao and me here, Huo Ying won't dare to do anything. However, if you encounter this person alone in the future, you need to be careful. This person's methods are not simple." Shao Zixia secretly reminded Lu Xiaotian, and Fly through the air.
Lu Xiaotian nodded and smiled secretly. In fact, he was naturally not such a restless person. The reason why he was tit for tat with Huo Ying was that Huo Ying always targeted him, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test it out. , whether the relationship between this group of people is monolithic, it turns out that it is not that close. The place where Yu Dongbao and the others are going is not easy. If the four of them work together, Lu Xiaotian will leave after refining the elixir. After all, although he is conceited, he cannot guarantee it compared with these four people who come from the cultivating family and have profound knowledge. You can definitely gain the upper hand. After all, you have some trump cards, but others may not. They will be weak. Except for Huo Ying, Yu Dongbao and others are all in the middle stage of Golden Core. The strength of the group is not very strong, but along the way, apart from being wary of large groups of monsters, there is not much for those adventurous monks. Worry, this is not how a normal golden elixir should behave in the middle stage.
If a few people are of the same mind, even if there is something good, it is unlikely to fall into his hands, and naturally there will be no need to wade into this muddy water. However, if there is a gap between each other, and the situation permits, you may be able to gain some benefits by following a few people.
Wow, a dozen mud frogs in the swamp with extremely low intelligence, but whose strength was equivalent to the fourth to sixth levels, jumped up and rushed toward Lu Xiaotian and others. The anger in Huo Ying's heart was still lingering, so he slapped his palm downwards, and dozens of mud frogs turned into a puff of blood mist before they could even scream.
However, Huo Ying's palm was like poking a hornet's nest, and the bloody smell of the mud frog caused the originally calm swamp to boil like boiling water. Hundreds of demonic mud frogs jumped out of the swamp and pounced on a few people. A huge bubble emerged, and one of them, which was several feet tall and had an aura as strong as the ninth-level frog king, croaked, suppressing all sounds.
