Time flies and two months pass in the blink of an eye.
The ancient city is more lively than before. The auction of Wanbao Pavilion is about to be held. Heroes from all walks of life are gathering here, just to participate in this grand auction feast.
Wanhua Manor, Lin Baoqing came to the door again, presented Li Mu with a participation order, and invited him to participate in the auction.
"Let's take a look! I'll go take a look when I have time." Li Mu smiled and accepted the order to participate in the filming.
"Master Li, this auction is different from previous auctions. Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect also brought out many valuable spiritual objects for the auction..." Lin Baoqing enthusiastically recommended to Li Mu.
"Yes, yes. Recently, several distinguished guests have sent and photographed some spiritual objects that Master Li needs. This is the catalog. Please take a look at it!" Lin Baoqing nodded happily and presented a white jade slip respectfully. This jade slip is no small matter. It contains a list of all auction items in the Wanbao Pavilion auction, which records in detail the names, attributes, levels, current bids and other information of various items.
Li Mu took the jade slip, glanced at it with his consciousness, and suddenly there was a slight fluctuation in his heart. This auction actually contains the sixth-level spiritual medicine - Nine Yang Spiritual Grass, the sixth-level spiritual plant - Purple Void Spiritual Bamboo, the seventh-level spiritual material - Gilded World Crystal... The appearance of these high-level spiritual objects is indeed beyond him. unexpected.
"How can I get into Master Li's eyes?" Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu and asked with concern.
"Yes! I want some spiritual objects. Shopkeeper Lin, could you please communicate with me and let's deal privately?" Li Mu nodded and looked at Lin Baoqing and signaled.
Private transactions before auctions are not uncommon. In many cases, in order to protect certain special items from outsiders, or to save some trouble during the auction process, after some communication between the two parties, Private transactions are often chosen.
"Master Li, don't worry, I will communicate with the client as soon as possible and try to get these spiritual objects for you, but..." Lin Baoqing paused slightly, showing hesitation.
"But what?" Li Mu looked at Lin Baoqing and asked.
"These spiritual objects are rare, and those who submit them for auction will definitely not sell them easily. Moreover, all major forces are participating in this auction, so the competition must be fierce." Lin Baoqing looked at Li Mu slowly Express his concerns.
“I understand what you mean.” Li Mu nodded and said, “You just have to do your best. You can be more relaxed in terms of pricing. If it doesn’t work, think of another way!”
"Understood!" Lin Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief and nodded happily.
"Master Li, if there is nothing else, Lin will not disturb you for now." Lin Baoqing said goodbye to Li Mu.
"Shopkeeper Lin, wait a moment!" Li Mu thought of something and called out to the other party.
Lin Baoqing turned his head and looked at Li Mu doubtfully, waiting for the next sentence.
"What's the result of that 'Senior Zhuang''s investigation?" Li Mu looked at Lin Baoqing and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Baoqing frowned, showing a strange look, and said helplessly: "This person behaves in a low-key manner. I ordered people to follow him and investigated him for two months, but I didn't get any useful information. I really can't find him. Show his motives for applying powder last time!”
Li Mu nodded in understanding and said calmly: "If I guessed correctly, this person should be inextricably linked to the Nine Demons Sect. Last time, I discussed with Shopkeeper Lin about taking your merchant ship to the Zhongzhou Spiritual Realm. Let's give it up! Can Shopkeeper Lin provide me with a sea map to the Zhongzhou territory? Li will find another way." Hearing this, Lin Baoqing was shocked and asked in surprise: "Master Li, what do you mean? "Yes, the Nine Demons Sect will take action on our merchant ship?"
Li Mu nodded lightly and said: "If I am not mistaken, this person should be coming for me. I will continue to take your merchant ship. It’s not surprising that the Nine Demon Sect would attack your merchant ship in order to deal with me!”
“How is this possible? Our guards are not easy to mess with!” Lin Baoqing said in disbelief! explain.
“Shopkeeper Lin, don’t forget, the Nine Demons Sect doesn’t even look down on the Xuantian Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect. How can the Nine Demons Sect not dare to provoke a business organization like Wanbao Pavilion? "Li Mu chuckled. "Besides, the resources your pavilion has provided to the two Immortal Sects are still few! I am afraid that the Nine Demons Sect is also waiting for this opportunity to attack Wanbao Pavilion!"
Hearing this, Lin Baoqing was speechless for a moment, and his heart was suddenly in confusion. Li Mu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing his fantasy. Only then did he realize that the situation Wanbao Pavilion was about to face was more dangerous than he imagined.
Lin Baoqing took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Li Mu and said: "What Master Li said is absolutely true. I will prepare a chart for you to the Zhongzhou territory as soon as possible. In the meantime, you Do you need my help?"
Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, when the auction is over, Li will find another way to go to Zhongzhou. There is no telling whether the Zonghui will continue to take action against Wanbao Pavilion's merchant ships. Shopkeeper Lin must make a complete plan."
Lin Baoqing nodded and responded: "Thank you, Master Li, for reminding me. I will take care of this matter. Inform the Pavilion Master to be prepared to deal with the Nine Demons Sect."
Li Mu smiled and said nothing more, watching Lin Baoqing leave.
Time flies, three days pass, and the auction of Wanbao Pavilion arrives as scheduled.
During these three days, Li Mu lives in seclusion, refining elixirs in the Baofu space of the painting world. It is not until the auction of Wanbao Pavilion is officially held that he brings Zhu Xueer participated in this auction.
"Master Li, I have been put on the stage for auction before. This Wanbao Pavilion is so abominable!"
In the VIP room, Xueer was touched by the scene and couldn't help but think about being imprisoned before. Yu Long came up with the matter of the Wanbao Pavilion auction.
Hearing this, Li Mu laughed and couldn't help but think of that time. When he participated in the auction, he was just a young monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm. At that auction, he even picked up a Da Liao, obtained the Nebula Observation Method, a heaven-level high-grade spiritual consciousness technique.
"Master Li, you are actually laughing at me. Were you also at that auction?" Xueer looked at Li Mu with shame and asked.
"Indeed! I bought Xiaowa at that auction!" Li Mu laughed and explained.
"I see, why didn't you buy me in the first place! In this way, we can get to know each other earlier!" Xueer suddenly realized and asked curiously.
"You! You are much more expensive than Xiaowa! At that time, I couldn't compete." Li Mu laughed and explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Xueer narrowed her eyes slightly, showing a look of satisfaction.
Seeing Xue'er's expression, Li Mu laughed. He didn't know what she was so proud of, and quickly said: "When I took the photo of Xiao Wa, it was just an egg, without even one level. However, now, Xiao Wa has successfully crossed over. After going through the Transformation Thunder Tribulation, your strength has reached the mid-sixth level, and you! At that time, you already had three tails and had the strength of the mid-level third level. Now, you are only at the fifth level, you still need to work hard!"
Hearing this, Xueer's face collapsed, she was greatly shocked, and her heart was full of bitterness and helplessness.
This is indeed the case. When Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin followed Li Mu, their strength was far inferior to theirs. However, to this day, they have all survived the thunder tribulation of transformation, and their strength is still strong. Entered the sixth level. "It's not fair. The reason why Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin can grow so fast is because Mr. Li taught them the cultivation techniques and provided a large amount of elixirs and elixirs!" Xue'er argued with dissatisfaction. road.
Hearing this, Li Mu chuckled, shook his head and said, "You can't blame me for this. The cultivation techniques I provided to Xiao Wa and Xiao Jin are suitable for their bloodline and physique. , as for elixirs and elixirs, I have never lacked them for you Xueer. You must know that the skills inherited by your talented bloodline are not weaker than the cultivation skills taught by me. Xiaowa and Xiaojin can achieve such achievements. , and you don’t just rely on the cultivation techniques and resources I provide them, you should look for your own reasons.”
Hearing this, Xueer opened her mouth and wanted to argue again, but she was speechless. Master Li always treated everyone equally. She was not short of elixirs, elixirs, and spiritual treasures. In fact, the resources she received were even more than Xiao Xiao's. Wa, Xiaojin, there are a lot more of them.
Indirectly proved that Mr. Li cares more about himself.
After thinking about this, Xueer came to Li Mu, lowered her head slightly, glanced at him secretly with a pair of bright eyes, with a hint of shame and apology, and said softly: "Master Li, I know I was wrong. , I will work harder to practice in the future!"
Looking at Xueer's cute appearance, Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart, and said with a smile: "Well! It's good that you have recognized yourself! "You must practice harder in the future and don't let me down."
After that, Li Mu turned his eyes to the window.
At this time, Lin Baoqing was on the auction stage, leading the auction.
Lin Baoqing waved his hand lightly, and a bright blue light shone away from the auction stage, and a tall and mighty green wooden tripod appeared on the auction stage.
This Dharma Cauldron is green in color and engraved with various complex runes. Dragons and phoenixes are soaring on the cauldron, and mythical beasts are galloping. It shows its ancient charm. Just its appearance changes the atmosphere of the entire auction venue. It seemed as if there was a trace of mysterious power overflowing from the cauldron, which made all the Nascent Soul cultivators and Spirit Transformation cultivators present feel moved by it.
Lin Baoqing held up the Dharma tripod with both hands and raised it high above his head. The Dharma Cauldron seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly released a ray of green light. Immediately afterwards, green spiritual patterns flew out from the cauldron, condensing into a huge green dragon in the air.
The green dragon roared, circling and flying in the venue, and the green light it released instantly turned into countless Yimu's rejuvenating power, nourishing and repairing the spiritual power and bodies of the cultivators present.
"This cauldron is called the 'Aoki Dharma Cauldron'. It is a sixth-level mid-grade spiritual treasure. It is refined from the sixth-level Aoki Mysterious Qi, the sixth-level Taiyin Wood, the sixth-level Taixuan Boundary Stone, and the Taiyi Restoration Array. It contains the universe, can absorb the Sumeru, and can foster spiritual plants. It also has a powerful effect of restoring spirits and reviving the body. It is a rare treasure." Lin Baoqing's voice echoed in the venue.
Under the auction stage, all the cultivators’ eyes lit up.
“How much space is there for this tripod to be planted?” Someone couldn’t help but ask.
Lin Baoqing replied with a smile: "The space for the souls of this tripod is about a thousand acres of spiritual fields. It can be used as a mobile medicine cattail. In addition, the spirit recovery effect attached to it is the best among many Yimu spiritual treasures. Powerful.”
Hearing this, there was another commotion in the venue.
Some people lamented: "This treasure is really good at restoring energy, but its attack power is lacking!"
Some people frowned and said: "Who refined this spiritual treasure? This refining technique is a bit tasteless. !”
Someone even asked directly: “Shopkeeper Lin, how much will this cauldron cost?”
“The starting price here is 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones!” Lin Baoqing shouted. announced.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone started to quote and bid. After a while, the auction price displayed on the bidding platform exceeded one hundred thousand, and the number of people participating in the auction immediately became sparse.
Li Mu frowned, hesitating whether to participate in the auction.
Li Mu took a fancy to this Dharma Cauldron, which has a spiritual space for cultivating spiritual plants. The space in the Painting World Treasure Mansion is much larger than this spiritual treasure. However, it is currently in the upgrade stage and it is inconvenient to plant it inside. Too many spiritual plants.
Li Mu needs such a spiritual treasure that has a spiritual space and can continue to nourish spiritual plants as a backup.
If there were the corresponding spiritual materials for this spiritual cauldron, Li Mu could also refine one. The function and space would be much larger than this. However, several sixth-level materials used to refine this spiritual cauldron It’s really hard to gather spiritual materials in a short time.
Thinking of this, Li Mu did not hesitate to put his consciousness into the auction order and enter the bidding price.
Lin Baoqing, who is always paying attention to the progress of the bidding, was slightly stunned when he saw the latest quotation of the VIP room number, and then a trace of doubt emerged in his heart. Why would Master Li be interested in this spiritual treasure?
“Is there anyone else who bids for 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones?” Lin Baoqing came to his senses and hurriedly asked, preparing to drop the hammer to confirm the deal.
The monks at the scene did not respond much. There were too many high-level spiritual weapons in this auction. The functions of this spiritual cauldron were too useless. Except for a few favorite wood-type monks, there were not many People compete.
The price of 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones, plus some more, is enough to buy a good sixth-level spiritual sword.
Seeing this price, several previous bidders gave up. It was not that they could not afford the price, but they just felt that this spiritual tripod did not have much value. Rather than spending this price on a useless spiritual weapon, it is better to invest the funds in more valuable items.
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist No. 7, for successfully bidding for 120,000 high-grade spiritual stones to win the sixth-level Aoki Dharma Cauldron!" When the time came, Lin Baoqing dropped the hammer heavily and announced happily.
“Next, please invite me for the next lot.” Lin Baoqing looked around the audience and announced loudly.
As soon as Lin Baoqing finished speaking, the magic formation on the auction stage flickered. Under the gaze of everyone, the figure of the 'Aoki Dharma Cauldron' disappeared and was replaced by a gleaming purple thunder sword. .
The moment this purple thunder bamboo sword appeared, all eyes fell on the purple thunder sword.
The purple thunder snake flowing on the purple thunder sword seems to be alive. At the connection between the sword body and the hilt, there is a blue gem inlaid, which contains the violent power of thunder. , the sword is covered with thunder patterns, as if there is electricity flowing, giving people a very strong sense of shock.
On the auction stage at this moment, Lin Baoqing's voice sounded again.
"Purple Jade Thunder Bamboo Sword, sword length: four feet three, made from sixth-order purple jade thunder bamboo, sixth-order sky thunder crystal, and sixth-order sycamore thunder wood. This sword comes from Taiyi Sect: Xuan The hand of the true master..." Lin Baoqing continued to introduce the situation of the Purple Jade Thunder Bamboo Sword.
Listening to Lin Baoqing's introduction, the monks in the venue whispered to each other and talked about it.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the sword body. His consciousness was slightly widened, observing it from a distance and referring to its refining techniques. (End of this chapter)
