After Zhang Shiping left Xiangmingju, he walked around a few streets, and in a remote corner, he found a longevity material store with white paper lanterns hanging on it.
The shop was very deserted, and the white paper lanterns were shaking with the wind. After Zhang Shiping walked into the shop, he saw an old woman sitting on a small stool and was carving with a knife. His pupils shrank. A mid-stage foundation-building monk, Zhang Shiping then walked over calmly.
"Guest officer, what do you want to buy?" She put down the knife, stood up and patted the sawdust on her body.
"Three sticks of sandalwood, weigh three or two or three coins, and are three minutes and three inches long." Zhang Shiping responded according to the code word given by the monk who established the foundation of Xiangmingju, and tapped three times on the counter with no slight or heavy "dongdongdong".
"A piece of spiritual stone." The old woman stepped on her feet and took a jade slip from the high shelf, and handed it to Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping took out a spirit stone from the storage bag, put it on the counter, took the jade slip away, and didn't say anything more to the old woman, who also picked up the knife again, sat on the stool, Carved one by one.
Half a street away from the shop, Zhang Shiping probed his spiritual sense into the jade slip, and after reading the information recorded in it, he crushed the jade slip into powder.
Then he walked out of Yunjinfang City quickly, drove the black disc flying magic weapon, and flew several mountains to the east. After seeing that there was no one around, he found a mountain with no aura and fell down.
…
Two days later, Zhang Shiping changed into a black cloak and a green-patterned mask engraved with formations capable of isolating the detection of other people's spiritual senses. fly away.
Of course, the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness is limited. If the opponent is a Jindan cultivator, or a foundation-building cultivator who has practiced the spiritual consciousness technique, it will basically have no effect. Therefore, Zhang Shiping did not return to his original appearance, and still had that black face.
Zhang Shiping drove the black disc, and when he was about to reach the birthday celebration peak, he immediately put away the flying magic weapon, and at the halfway up the mountain of Shifeng, he circled the mountain towards the south, and the place he looked at was covered by huge rocks The three entrances of the cave, keep them in my heart.
Then Zhang Shiping stood expressionlessly under the shadow of a stone, and not long after, several people flew in from a distance, most of them were wearing cloak masks similar to Zhang Shiping, watching others go in one by one, Zhang Shiping He didn't hesitate any more, followed the monks in front, one behind the other, walking far away into the cave.
Inside the cave, it was cool and quiet, with cold wind blowing inside, torches were stuck on the walls, and moonstones were inlaid on the top of the mountain. At first, the cave could only accommodate two people side by side. After Zhang Shiping walked for a while, the passage opened up a lot.
Zhang Shiping saw the light in the distance, and after walking about twenty feet, he came out of the cave, and what came into his eyes was a stone building with a height of more than ten floors, which was built against the mountain. The lights are brightly lit, illuminating the birthday celebration peak, as if it is never night.
Outside the stone building, there are more than a dozen maidservants in colorful clothes, stepping on the jasper-colored leaf flying magic weapon, their clothes fluttering, leading Zhang Shiping and other foundation-building monks who entered the stone peak, flying towards the stone building go.
If it were a mortal here, he would be amazed, and even some old superstitious mortals would kneel down, thinking that they had entered a fairyland and saw a fairy.
"Welcome senior", a maidservant with a pretty face landed in front of Zhang Shiping, and greeted Zhang Shiping with a blessing, "Senior, please follow me."
Zhang Shiping took out the black disc flying magic weapon and threw it in front of him, the black disc flashed with spiritual light, Zhang Shiping's figure flickered, and he stood on the disc.
Of course, there was also a monk wearing a cloak who stepped directly on the leaf-shaped magic weapon of the maidservant, stood behind the maidservant, with his arms around his slender waist, and kept groping up and down. And the maidservant still greeted her with a smile on her face, without any apparent reluctance.
In front of Zhang Shiping, the maidservant in colorful clothes led Zhang Shiping to fly towards the upper floors of the stone building, and the two of them landed on the ninth floor. Then she led Zhang Shiping into the building, and then walked back a few steps, leaning on the aisle with his head down. Zhang Shiping's first impression was that the building was very tall, the ninth floor alone was six feet high.
As soon as Zhang Shiping entered the door, he saw a high platform standing in the middle of the room. The building was built on the inner wall of the stone mountain, in the shape of an inner semi-circular arc. Three zhang away, separated by a screen on the left and right, facing a high platform in the middle.
There are more or less monks in these compartments, most of them are alone in a compartment, and there are several monks sitting together.
I don't know if it's the habit of the owner of this secret shop, but when Zhang Shiping walked into the building from the very beginning, all he saw was red.
The tables, chairs and screens are red, the carpet is red, the pillars are red, the curtains are red, and even the hanging lanterns are red.
A maid came up from inside and led Zhang Shiping to a small cubicle with no one there. Zhang Shiping saw the word "Yichou" on the screen.
After Zhang Shiping entered, he closed his eyes calmly, because the bright red all over the room was really annoying.
After waiting for about half an hour, a maid came in with a mahogany tray on which was placed a piece of jade slip. She whispered the rules of the auction to Zhang Shiping, and the jade slip recorded the price of this auction. After finishing talking about things and information, the servant girl withdrew and stood guard outside the screen.
Zhang Shiping picked up the jade slip, and after searching with his spiritual sense, he was surprised.
There are eighty-one items being auctioned here, the first one is beyond Zhang Shiping's expectation, a three-layer Qi training girl's cauldron furnace, with a Yin Luan body. Although this physique is useless for breakthroughs in large realms, such small realms such as the middle and late stages of foundation building are very useful, and can increase the monk's chances of success.
Even Zhang Shiping was a little tempted, but he also thought that he would have a better chance of breaking through the golden core when he heard that monks kept the body of Yuanyang and Yuanyin. Although it is not known whether it is true or not, this kind of thing is so widely spread in the world of cultivating immortals. , somewhat believable.
Besides, relying on the bronze lamp to assist in cultivation, Zhang Shiping is confident that he can cultivate to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
If he can't break through at the first time, then he will continue to practice, purify his mana, and rely on his own pure mana to break through the realm naturally.
After Zhang Shiping hastily read the information on the jade slips, a middle-aged man in an embroidered robe and a bright red peony on his head walked up to the high platform.
The man's face was slick and smooth, and he looked a little like a student. He spoke loudly, and with his magic power, the voice spread throughout the building, "Welcome to Hongyue Tower, I think everyone is waiting impatiently. I won’t say much more. Now the first treasure, Yinluan Maiden Cauldron, has a reserve price of 400 spirit stones.”
A well-dressed girl, followed by two maidservants in colorful clothes. A string of copper bells was tied to the girl's ankles, and she stepped on the carpet with her bare feet. Following the ringing of the bells, she walked up to the high platform, and looked charmingly at the Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in the cubicle.
The host looked around at the hundreds of foundation-building monks in the stair compartment, "Dear friends sitting here, let's start bidding!"
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Shiping heard a monk shouting impatiently: "Four hundred and fifty spirit stonesfour hundred and eighty yuan."
"five hundred."
…
There were bidding sounds from various compartments, but Zhang Shiping did not bid, and this was not his goal from the beginning.
Of course, if the price of this cauldron is lower, then maybe Zhang Shiping will also make a move, but the Hongyue Building set the base price there from the beginning, plus the price of the foundation-building monks who need it in the field, the price will be slow. rise.
Finally, after "eight hundred and thirty spirit stones" came out from a compartment, the other foundation cultivators stopped bidding.
After the host on the high platform asked three times, no one made any more bids. He picked up a small wooden hammer wrapped in red silk and hit it on the gong, congratulating the Foundation Establishment cultivator in the 'Yishen' compartment for winning the bid.
Immediately afterwards, a maid took the cauldron girl to the 'Yishen' compartment, paid the money and delivered the goods.
On the high platform, the host wiped the storage bag on his waist, and there was an extra brocade box in his hand, and he showed it to the Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Zhang Shiping's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he clearly saw twelve small cow hair needles placed in the brocade box.
This kind of needle-shaped magic weapon is much more difficult to make than ordinary magic weapons, not to mention that this set of female needles is still a second-order middle-grade magic weapon, which is even rarer in the world of cultivating immortals.
There are sects or family blacksmiths who create such magical artifacts, and the nine layers and nines are kept in the sect or family.
Jiaozuo Zong also has this kind of flying needle magic weapon, but this flying needle magic weapon does not accept spirit stones in exchange, and can only be exchanged with the merit points of the sect. If it is just to perform ordinary tasks, it will take too long, and Zhang Shiping will not be able to use it. No idea.
Therefore, when Zhang Shiping saw this set of flying needle instruments, his heart was moved instantly.
