Originally, after the chaos, Xingyue Sect was likely to be annexed by others, but Tantai Jing, the daughter of the leader of Xingyue Sect, suddenly returned to the sect and re-stabilized the situation. Although Tantai Jing is only in the Foundation Establishment stage, her Taoist companion is Zong Rong, a monk in the Dayan Sect's Dan Formation stage. The nearby immortal cultivation sects have all stopped because of fear of Zong Rong and the Dayan Sect, and no one dares to fight Xingyue again. Zong¡¯s idea. As for the elders within Xingyue Sect who originally wanted to compete for the position of sect leader, they have also given up their thoughts.
Zhang Chaozong really didn¡¯t expect that Tantai Shuo actually had a daughter, and she was also connected to the Dayan Sect. If this is the case, he will have to be more careful in the future. After understanding the situation, Zhang Chaozong felt that it was wise to choose Haichao City as a place to stay.
"Shopkeeper, let me ask you again, is there any auction house or the like in the city?" Zhang Chaozong asked.
"Haichao Sect is one of the largest cities in the South China Sea, so of course there is an auction house. It is said that Haohai Auction House will organize a grand auction in the near future. There will definitely be many rare items by then. If you want to find something, If so, you can go take a look when the time comes." The shopkeeper replied with a smile.
"Haohai Auction House, um, I want to take a look." Zhang Chaozong was overjoyed. He didn't expect such a coincidence to happen upon the auction.
Because he was happy, Zhang Chaozong rewarded the shopkeeper with a piece of spiritual stone, and the shopkeeper went out happily.
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Haohai Auction House is run by Haichao Sect and is the largest auction house on Lantau Island. In this auction, in order to attract the attention of the monks, Haichao Sect collected a large number of precious items, and also auctioned many of the sect's valuable elixirs and herbs. It can be said that this auction is one of the grandest in the South China Sea in recent years.
Zhang Chaozong disguised himself and entered Haohai Auction House. There were many monks who entered the scene with him. It was obvious that most of these monks had used tricks to change their costumes, probably because they were afraid that they would be noticed after taking good photos. Entering the hall of Haohai Auction House, Zhang Chaozong's first impression was that it was big. It was just like a square.
Finding an inconspicuous place, Zhang Chaozong sat down. He had already thought about it before coming, trying to be as low-key as possible and not attract attention. This auction is so grand that people from the Xingyue Sect will definitely be present. It would be bad if they are recognized by then.
The auction hall was bustling with people, some of the monks present were whispering to each other, and some were talking loudly. Sitting next to Zhang Chaozong was a middle-aged female cultivator. Not to mention her appearance, she had a cold face, as if someone owed her money. Zhang Chaozong glanced at her, then looked at his nose and nose, then closed his eyes and rested his mind. Although the middle-aged female cultivator had a cold face, she secretly looked at the monk next to her. Seeing that he dared to ignore her, the middle-aged female cultivator showed an angry look on her face.
"My name is Situ Meili, and I am a monk from the Tide Sect. May I ask where you, the Immortal Friend, are cultivating?" The middle-aged female cultivator was quite proud of her identity when she talked about it. It was obvious that she felt that the monks from the Tide Sect were great.
"Situ is beautiful?" Zhang Chaozong looked at the middle-aged female cultivator for a long time but could not see how this woman could be called beautiful.
"What are you staring at me for?" Situ Meili thought Zhang Chaozong coveted her beauty, so she pretended to say.
"Haha, I just want to admire the style of a monk from a major sect. As for me, I'm just a casual cultivator, so I won't mention my name." Naturally, the monks from the major sect in Zhang Chaozong will not take a mere cultivator from the Tide Sect seriously. . But now in the Tide Sect's territory, they have to compliment each other to avoid causing any trouble.
"I didn't expect that a young casual cultivator like you is quite self-aware. In fact, you don't have to feel inferior. Casual cultivators have the advantages of being a casual cultivator. At least they are more free. That's not the case for sectarian monks like us, who are always very busy. No, You still have to organize an auction here, hey, it would be fine if you gave more spiritual stones, but it¡¯s a pity that you only give ten spiritual stones, which is not enough for me to reward you!¡± Situ Meili intended to complain, but his expression was as proud as if he was holding his head high. With the peacock on her head, anyone can tell that she is deliberately showing off her treatment. She can earn ten spiritual stones in one auction.
Zhang Chaozong smiled in his heart and said to himself that he met a narcissistic girl today. He looked so beautiful that he almost had to stick his butt out.
But even though he thought so in his heart, on the surface, he didn't show any contempt at all. On the contrary, Zhang Chaozong pretended to be envious and said to Situ Meili: "Fellow Taoist is indeed a monk from a large sect. With such an easy visit to the auction house, you can actually earn ten spiritual stones. If I had such a Chance, I will be so excited that I can¡¯t sleep at night.¡±
"Hmph, this is nothing. There are many tasks that are more profitable than this. But if you want to join the Tide Sect, it is almost impossible. To join the Tide Sect, you need a strong relationship." Situ's beautiful forehead showed another sign. It's tilted up.
Zhang Chaozong almost laughed out loud and said to himself, it's not unusual for me to want to join you. You still take your identity seriously, but on the surface, he showed regret.
As if she had found a sense of superiority, Situ Meili began to talk endlessly about how good the monks of the Tide Sect were. After all, there is nothing more than two words: showing off is nothing more than explaining to Zhang Chaozong how superior she is to others.
Zhang Chaozong found it interesting at first, but then he became a little bored. Fortunately, the auction finally started at this time, and Situ Meili finally stopped talking.
"I am Yu Wenliang, the elder of the Haichao Sect. This auction has been planned by our Haichao Sect for a long time" An old man spoke first.
Such opening remarks are all routine, and Zhang Chaozong is naturally not interested. After listening patiently, the auctioneer came on stage, and at the same time, two beautiful women launched the first lot.
"The first lot in this auction is Purple Heart Bamboo. I think everyone knows that Purple Heart Bamboo is an excellent material for refining magic weapons. Magic weapons made from Purple Heart Bamboo are not only tough and durable, but also have evil-proof properties. , has a miraculous effect on spells such as destroying evil spirits. There is still a section of rhizome of this section of Purple Heart Bamboo, so it can be used to refine weapons and cultivate it. The base price is three hundred spirit stones, and the price increase is no less than Ten Spiritual Stones, I would like to invite all fellow Taoists to bid." The auctioneer briefly introduced the first item, and then the auction officially started.
"Three hundred spiritual stones." A yellow-robed monk bid first.
"Three hundred and fifty spirit stones." A female cultivator with red phoenix eyes followed closely and bid.
"Three hundred and seventy spiritual stones." Another monk bid.
"Three hundred and ninety spirit stones."
""
Zhang Chaozong also knew something about Purple Heart Bamboo, but to him, this thing was of no use, so he was not interested and just watched the fun with his arms folded. Although Zhang Chaozong is not very interested, there are still many people who are interested. After all, for ordinary monks in the foundation building stage, having a magic weapon refined from purple heart bamboo is already very good. Therefore, the price climbed up bit by bit.
"Five hundred spirit stones." The yellow-robed monk who made the first bid gritted his teeth and shouted out a relatively high price.
The surrounding gradually became quiet, and this price made many monks stop their activities.
"Five hundred spirit stones, is there any higher one? It's the first time for five hundred spirit stones, but there are still no bids." The auctioneer scanned the audience.
"Five hundred spirit stones for the second time." The auctioneer picked up the gavel as he spoke.
At this time, something unexpected happened to Zhang Chaozong. The middle-aged female cultivator sitting next to him actually made a bid.
"Five hundred and fifty spiritual stones." The middle-aged female cultivator called out the price.
"Six hundred spirit stones." The yellow-robed monk obviously wanted to get this piece of purple heart bamboo. He turned around and looked at the middle-aged female cultivator bitterly, and then added fifty more spirit stones.
"Six hundred and fifty spiritual stones." The middle-aged female cultivator shouted without blinking.
The yellow-robed monk was a little hesitant. Obviously, six hundred and fifty spiritual stones was a bit beyond his price. But it didn't take long for his desire for the Purple Heart Bamboo to take over.
"Seven hundred spirit stones, if you can add one more spirit stone, the purple heart bamboo will be yours." The yellow-robed monk turned around and looked at the middle-aged female cultivator with provocative eyes.
The middle-aged female cultivator smiled slightly and stopped increasing the price.
"First time for seven hundred spiritual stones." the auctioneer shouted.
"Seven hundred spirit stones for the second time." the auctioneer shouted.
"Seven hundred spirit stones for the third time." The auctioneer dropped the hammer with a bang.
Zhang Chaozong secretly felt that it was not worth it for the yellow-robed monk. This section of Purple Heart Bamboo is not long and can at most be used to refine a magic weapon. Even if he buys the top-notch mortal weapon refined with Purple Heart Bamboo, it will not require five hundred spirit stones. In other words, the yellow-robed monk spent 700 spirit stones to buy this piece of purple-heart bamboo with the intention of cultivating it as a seed. But according to Zhang Chaozong's understanding, cultivating purple heart bamboo is very difficult and requires the use of a lot of precious medicinal liquids. Even so, it is unknown whether it will succeed, and the yellow-robed monk will most likely suffer a loss.
The auction continues, and the second lot appears.
"The soul-soothing pill has the effect of stabilizing the soul and blocking the inner demons. All of you fellow Taoists are all immortal cultivators, so I think you are all familiar with the inner demons, so there is no need for me to talk nonsense. The starting price of the soul-soothing pill is one thousand spiritual stones. Each time the price increase is no less than ten spirit stones, the bidding will begin." The auctioneer obviously has great expectations for the soul-soothing pill, hoping to get a high price. The higher the price, the higher the commission he will receive accordingly. many.
Zhang Chaozong had only heard of soul-soothing pills before, but had never seen one. This elixir made him very excited, but whether he would take action or not still depends on the soul-soothing elixir.The final price will be determined. If the price is too high, then he has no choice but to give up.
"One thousand spiritual stones." As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, some monks rushed to bid.
