Beiyin Great Sage Chapter 371

  Chapter 371 Auction

   "chi chi..."

  Snowflakes are flying outside the house, smoke is rising from the wine warmed on the stove inside the house, and the boiling wine emits a strong aroma, which is intoxicating to the eyes.

  Several dishes of exquisite side dishes are placed on the table for people to cheer up the wine.

  The food has five tastes, and the wine has three rounds.

  Zhao Qingping's cheeks were flushed, her drunkenness welled up, her beautiful eyes became brighter, and her thoughts seemed to be clearer than ever.

   "Elder Zhou hasn't given up yet?"

   "There is nothing else to do." Zhou Jia put down the wine cup with a calm expression:

   "Except for pursuing a higher realm, Zhou... has nothing left."

  Eating, drinking and merrymaking?

  Family?

  Love?

  Friendship?

   Spend the rest of your life on this, it is better to give it a go, at least even if you don't do your best in the future, you won't regret it when you die.

   Maybe he's really old.

  The old ones no longer have the passion they had when they were young, and their distracting thoughts settle down, but their goals become clearer.

"yes."

  Brown stretched his muscles and said with a smile:

   "Compared with the avenue, what else is it?"

   "Fairy Zhao, please!"

"Please!"

  The three toasted to each other.

  Zhou Jia smiled lightly and drank it all in one gulp.

  Compared to fellow Baiyin in Luan Luo City, the three of them are of the same kind.

  Zhao Qingping was born in the royal family, enjoyed the glory and wealth, was also displaced, and was trapped in the Buddhist palace where life and death and desires intertwined for decades.

  The Zen mind is subtle, and the original intention remains unchanged.

  Although she is a woman, she is admirable.

  Brown needless to say, the battle warrior, a family of emperors, step by step from the trough to the peak, and from the peak to rebellion.

   Having experienced so much, I have already seen it through.

   Know exactly what you are after.

  But although they are the same kind of people, they may not be close friends. The complicated experience makes them never trust others.

  The same road but not the same road.

   "What's the plan for the two of you next?" Putting down the wine cup, Zhou Jia said slowly:

   "Zhou is fairly familiar with the area around here. There will be an auction in Luanluo City in a while, and it will be very lively. If you haven't left, you can take a look."

   "I'm going to Cannes." Brown said:

   "I heard that there appeared a silver beast of the fire attribute. It may be useful for me to practice the blood fusion method. Go over and have a look."

   "I'm probably going to the border." Zhao Qingping said:

   "Seven Star Hall has an errand to do at the border, I'll take care of it by the way, and I should go back there by then, and there will be no turning back."

   "So, I don't know when we will meet next time." Zhou Jia raised his glass:

   "Have a good drink today!"

"it is good!"

"Ha ha…"

  They knew very well that it was not certain whether there would be a next time for this reunion. Since it might be the last time, they should have a good time.

   A drink, part ways!

  The wind and snow are still there.

   Time, but half a month has passed.

   "The main house."

  Twenty years later, Zhang Jian, the director of the courtyard, was old, with gray hair on his sideburns, and his back was bent. He stood in front of the door and said:

   "It's almost time."

"Oh!"

  Zhou Jia stopped reading the scroll at his desk, raised his head, and looked at the snow falling outside the window as usual, with a trance in his eyes:

   "Here we come."

"Yes."

  Zhang Jianying, stepped back and prepared the carriage.

  Zhou Jia took a deep breath, and his consciousness swept across the sea of ​​consciousness.

  Tiantian Qixuan Gong (48/100 not perfect)

  In less than 30 years, without consuming the energy of enlightenment, the experience of Tongtian Qixuan Gong has been pushed to nearly 50.

  Speaking of which, it is enough to be proud.

  However, as speculated, the higher the experience value, the more difficult it is to increase, and now it may not be able to increase a little in a few months.

   Fortunately.

  In recent years, Enlightenment has increased a lot of energy.

almost.

almost…

   Fifty years at the slowest time, you can completely perfect the Tongtian Qixuan Kungfu, the cultivation method of the silver realm, and it will take another few decades to improve it.

time.

   should be enough!

   "Crackling...creaking..."

  The ruts drove out of the city under the thick snow, and under the control of Zhang Jian, a part-time 'coach driver', the carriage headed for its destination.

  There are dense forests here, the trees are tens of feet high, and the crowns of the trees are criss-crossed in the sky, blocking the sunlight, and only a little halo shines through the gaps.

   Many people have already come to the open space.

   "Brother Wang!"

   "Brother Qi!"

   "Miss Yun..."

   Today's Yun Haitang is wearing a snow-white sable fur, which makes her face more and more petite and beautiful. She greeted her with a smile:

   "Brother Zhou, I knew you would come today."

   "I heard that in today's auction, there will be several rare copies collected by friends of Baiyin. Since Zhou knows about it, he naturally wants to come." Zhou Jia shook the snow on the cloak, smiled and cupped his hands:

   "Is Miss Yun also interested?"

  Not to mention small gatherings and transactions, every few decades, Luan Luo City will hold a large auction, which lasts for nearly ten days.

  This time it is.

   The daily bidding items in the auction are different. In the first few days, there are mostly refining materials, mysterious weapons, and various rare bloodlines and exotic beasts.

   Zhou Jia was not interested in this, so he didn't come.

  Today.

   What was being auctioned was secret books of exercises, spells of origin techniques, and secret books of ancient books, so naturally he would not miss them.

   "Maybe." Yun Haitang blinked, with a playful face:

   "If there's something I'm looking for, brother Zhou, please raise your hand high. Don't raise the price so high. I can't compare to your wealth."

   "I'm joking." Zhou Jia shook his head again and again:

   "I'm afraid I won't be able to spend that little money from Zhou's private house here."

   "Tsk tsk..." Yun Haitang said with a smile:

   "Brother Zhou, why bother to be modest, Ye Li and Shi Jian, who you have blessed, are getting bigger and bigger in business, so how can their annual profit be reduced?"

"correct."

  Her beautiful eyes flickered, and said:

   "That girl Ye Nanyin, did you reply?"

   "The little girl is stubborn for a while, don't mind Miss Yun, when she thinks it through, she will know how to choose." Zhou Jia said slowly:

   "The Dongxuan Sect is the top sect of the Tianyuan League, with a golden inheritance, and Miss Yun has a strong family background. What reason does she have to refuse to ask you to be my teacher?"

   As he spoke, he shook his head slightly.

  In these years, his days have been as monotonous as ever, but the people around him have changed greatly.

  Thanks to the supply of source quality medicine, Ye Li and Shi Jian, after a few years of exploration, finally got through the business route, and their business began to prosper.

  Nowadays, their caravans are already well-known in Luanluo City.

   Zhou Jia's offering of money naturally also increased.

  As for Ye Nanyin...

   is another matter.

"yes!"

  Yun Haitang sighed helplessly:

   "I thought so at first, but I never thought that the name of the Dongxuan Sect would be inferior to Brother Zhou's guidance. It's really disappointing."

  Ye Nanyin is not very old, and her cultivation base is already at the late stage of Heitie. This kind of talent can be said to be amazing, and it was a coincidence that she fell into her eyes.

  I thought that the other party should be very grateful for my proposal to accept apprentices.

   Never thought about it.

  Ye Nanyin refused directly.

  The reason is that he hopes to learn art from Zhou Jia.

   This made Yun Haitang dumbfounded, Zhou Jia is indeed of extraordinary strength, and his realm is also extremely high, and he can often give advice to others with a single sentence.

   But his limit is there.

  How can a mere ascetic cultivator compare with himself, one of the two prides of the Dongxuan Sect?

  Now Ye Nanyin still doesn't understand. After she advances to Baiyin, facing Zhou Jia who has no follow-up inheritance, she may have nowhere to cry.

   "Zhou is old and has no plans to accept apprentices, let alone the energy to teach."

  Zhou Jia spoke slowly:

   "I have made it clear to her that I should be able to reply to Miss Yun in the next few days. It is the blessing of that girl to be able to join the Dongxuan Sect."

"Hey!"

  Yun Haitang sighed:

   "I'm afraid that she will not be willing to accept a teacher. This is the first time I have been tempted to accept an apprentice. I don't know how the relationship between the master and the apprentice will be."

   As he spoke, he shook his head.

  She likes Ye Nanyin's character, and appreciates her talent even more. She says she is taking an apprentice, but in fact, she wants to find a good sister on the road of cultivation.

  This kind of mentality is actually very bad.

At least.

   In Zhou Jia's view, Yun Haitang has no airs of being a strict teacher, standing with Ye Nanyin, she looks younger instead.

   "Brother Zhou!"

   "Ambassador Cloud!"

   While the two were chatting, the Mo family also came over.

   Today's two people are radiant, one white and one red are dressed like a pair of lovers, especially eye-catching in the white snow.

   "Two..."

  Zhou Jia looked at the two of them with surprise on his face:

   "Is this a happy event?"

   "Brother Zhou doesn't know?" Yun Haitang looked sideways, covered her mouth with her little hand, and said with a smile:

   "Estimated that the entire Luan fell into the city, only Brother Zhou didn't know about it?"

   "Is there really any happy event?" Zhou Jia chuckled:

   "It is indeed Zhou who is ignorant."

   "It's nothing." Mo Shanjing said:

   "Not long ago, one of our juniors successfully advanced to Baiyin, and joined the Jiuyi Sect, and now he has gone to Yuancheng."

   "Yes!" Madam Mo sighed softly:

   "It's been hundreds of years, and the Mo family finally has a successor, and we are not ashamed of our ancestors."

  She is the maidservant next to Mo Shanjing. She grew up in Ye's family since she was a child, so she naturally regards herself as a part of Ye's family.

  Mo Shanjing held the woman's palm, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Congratulations!"

   Zhou Jia looked dignified, and bowed his hands:

   "Congratulations, Mr. Zhou's gift will be made up later."

   There are descendants who have achieved silver, which shows that the inheritance of the Mo family can last for hundreds of years. If they can gain a firm foothold in Yuancheng, a family will also benefit from it.

   This is definitely a big deal in Luan Luo City.

   "You don't have to be so polite." Mo Shanjing smiled and waved his hands.

   "Everyone!"

  At this time, a loud voice sounded, interrupting the small communication of several people.

  An old man with a gray beard appeared in midair at some point, and layers of aura expanded, covering the huge mountain forest.

   "It's almost time for people to come, let's start today's auction!"

   "This auction is in charge of the Dishui Commercial Bank, and the Nine Barbarians are behind it, so there is no need to worry that the money and goods will not match."

  In the dense forest, light and shadow dance.

  There are no seats here, and those who participate in the auction need to find their own places.

  Some people stood in a wide area, some hid in the shadows, some walked alone, some went in groups, Zhou Jia and the four gathered together.

   Looks casual.

  But for them, who are mostly silver powerhouses, sitting on a stool in an orderly manner is actually a kind of constraint.

  Mo Shanjing whispered:

   "I heard that in this auction, there will be a hand scroll of a master craftsman, which contains several crafts. Our goal is this."

  He doesn't mind leaking in advance, and he thinks a few people will not become competitors.

   "There should be few people who are willing to pay a high price for the method of refining weapons." Yun Haitang replied as expected:

   "There should be no problem for the two of you to start."

   "I would like to borrow your good words."

   "I heard that there will be a big surprise today."

"surprise?"

"Um."

  Yun Haitang nodded when she heard the words, as if she knew something, with a deep look in her eyes, if she had a deep meaning, she said:

   "It's better not to touch things like that."

  Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows, scanned his surroundings and asked in a low voice:

   "Are there so many people in the auction a few days ago?"

  In his perception, there are too many people in this dense forest, and there are several strands of the suspected sixth- and seventh-level silver aura.

  Among them, the sixth-rank Baiyin Jia Anjia of Luanluo City, and the seventh-rank Baiyin Nine Barbarian Taoist Yunming Taoist of Cangcheng, all of them he had met before.

more.

   is unknown.

The key is…

   There is also a strange atmosphere in the field, with many scrutiny and hostile sights, which make Libra's good and evil characteristics send warning signs from time to time.

   "This kind of auction only happens once in decades, and it's normal for a lot of people to come." Mo Shanjing opened his mouth, and after scanning around, his brows frowned slightly:

   "However, it seems that there are indeed more people coming today."

"Um."

  Yun Haitang and Mrs. Mo nodded in agreement.

   "Light Cloud Book!"

  At this time, the old man hosting the auction raised one hand lightly, a book was suspended in the air, and said loudly:

   "This book comes from a silver daoist from the Yi clan. It contains thirty-five origin techniques and one hundred and six martial arts. It can be passed down as a top-notch black iron."

   "In particular, it records the adventure experience of that fellow daoist in the Dark Territory, which is a lot of reference for us."

   "The starting price is 80,000 stellar coins, and the price increase cannot be lower than 1,000 stellar coins!"

  Zhou Jia pursed his lips.

  The price was beyond his expectation. It was just some black iron inheritance, so much money. As for the so-called adventure experience...

  Whether it is Huojiabao or Hongzeyu, they are all within the scope of the Dark Territory.

  Then his experience can also be used to sell money?

   "Ninety thousand!"

   "Ninety-one thousand!"

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

   There were voices of raising prices one after another. Contrary to what Zhou Jia expected, there were quite a few people in the field who were curious about the situation in the Dark Territory.

  The price didn't slow down until 130,000 star coins.

  Finally sold at 136,000.

  Zhou Jia pursed his lips, touched the hundreds of thousands of star coins in the storage bag, and the idea of ​​making a big purchase quietly fell.

   So **** rich!

  After a good start, the atmosphere of the subsequent auction became more and more enthusiastic, and some manuscripts were even sold for a high price of nearly 300,000 yuan.

   "Ten Evil Precious Light Collection!"

  The old man said:

   "This episode comes from the famous ten evil real people. There are three silver origin techniques in it, which are the evasion technique, the ghost fire burning body technique, and the space curse killing technique. There are also some insights about the cultivation of the silver realm."

   "You know, the ten evil Taoists are seventh-level silver, and almost became gold. There is no need to say how valuable his insights are to us."

   "The starting price is 100,000 stellar coins, and each increase should not be less than 1,000."

   "One hundred thousand and one thousand!"

   "Okay, this fellow daoist bids one hundred and eleven thousand!"

   There was silence in the field.

   "Uh..." The old man froze, and then said:

   "Are there any bids?"

"You know, the ten evil real people seldom leave manuscripts, and the origin of his exercises is a secret. The clues that may solve the mystery are in these few manuscripts. Once mastered, it may become the next ten evils. A real person has the ability to exorcise souls and conjure ghosts."

  Zhou Jia was speechless.

  He wished he could cover the opponent's mouth. The previous two times, it was because of the old man's verbiage that he missed the auctions one after another.

   Fortunately,

   This time the hope given by the old man was too slim, and the price was only raised by a few thousand, and Zhou Jia bought it with 105,000 star coins.

   "Mysterious Qi Dafa!"

  The old man looked dignified and shouted:

   "As we all know, the method of cultivating in the silver realm is rare, and the level of quality is mostly judged by the amount of life extension. This profound energy method has a total of seven levels, and each level of cultivation can prolong life by forty years. It is also considered a masterpiece."

   "If you cultivate to the fourth level of silver, you can prolong your life by 120 years. This kind of method is rare."

   "Now, the old man happens to have the practice method of the first four levels of Xuanqi Dafa, and the price is only 300,000 star coins!"

   "Each price increase must not be less than 2,000!"

   "Hoo..."

  Zhou Jia's eyes lit up, he breathed out lightly, glanced at the remaining 500,000 star coins, gritted his teeth, and raised his right hand high.

   "Brother Zhou is really... persistent!" Mo Shanjing shook his head, took out tens of thousands of star coins from himself and handed them over:

   "You have bought a lot, do you want to continue?"

   "Although this Nine-Rank Inquiry is only a theory of practice, it is extremely important to Zhou." Zhou Jia nodded and explained:

   "Don't worry, I'll return the money to you as soon as I get back."

   "I still have my 170,000 star coins." Yun Haitang reminded in a low voice.

   "Of course, of course." Zhou Jia nodded repeatedly.

   "Everyone."

   Halfway through the auction, the old man's face suddenly froze, he scanned the audience, and said slowly:

   "You should all have heard of artifacts, right?"

   There was a sudden silence in the field.
