Wonderland

Chapter 42 Entering the Auction
In the west of the inner city of Wuyin Xiancheng, there is a large shop called [Babaozhai].

The entrance to this auction is a side door next to the [Babao Zhai]. The side door is very inconspicuous. It is located in an alley, and at the entrance of the alley, there are two gatekeepers.

When Xiao Lin came here, he happened to see a cultivator walking into the side gate. Xiao Lin came to the two cultivators who guarded the gate. With his spiritual sense, a look of shock appeared on his face. He could not sense the cultivation base of the two at all, and the spiritual pressure emanating from the two made him feel a sense of palpitations. All this means that the two of them are at least monks above the ninth level of Qi refining. They are also two cultivators in the Great Perfection Realm of Qi Refining.

Although Xiao Lin had not seen a foundation-building cultivator yet, judging from his feeling, the two of them should still be Qi-refining cultivators.

After passing the wooden token he got from Luo Shou to one of them, Xiao Lin entered the side door. After entering the side door, there was a long and narrow passage. After passing through the passage of tens of meters, Xiao Lin came to in a small living room.

There is only a smiling woman in the living room. The woman looks 25 or [-] years old, with fair skin, willow eyebrows and almond eyes. The opening and closing of a small cherry mouth can not help but make people imagine, full of temptation.

Seeing Xiao Lin come in, the woman smiled slightly and said, "The little girl is the receptionist of Babaozhai. Her surname is Xu Fengniang. Seeing that the Taoist friend is very nervous, it should be the first time to participate in our Babaozhai auction."

"Xia Xiao Lin is a loose cultivator. He heard the news of the auction by chance, so he came to join in the fun." Xiao Lin said indifferently after bowing his hands.

"It is also a kind of fate to know that our Babaozhai holds an auction. The little girl welcomes Daoist friends on behalf of Babaozhai. It's just the first time for Daoist friends to come. I'm afraid I don't know some hidden rules for participating in the auction, so I remind you in advance. Daoist friend."

Seeing the look of surprise on Xiao Lin's face, Xu Fengniang said, "Our auction this time is mainly aimed at high-level qi-refining monks and early foundation-building monks. Not many people are interested in the auction, and there are not many people who come, and most of them are monks in the late stage of Qi refining and Great Perfection."

Glancing at Xiao Lin who was listening carefully, Xu Fengniang continued: "The items auctioned at auctions like ours include materials, spiritual pills, magical instruments and even some special items, such as exercises, pill recipes, and spiritual talismans, etc. Wait, and we won't go into the origins of these items, because the items auctioned are also placed here by other monks, but we all know that in the world of self-cultivation, the strong are still respected, and it is not easy for the weak to survive, and in order to protect The monks who bought rare items from us will not be blocked and hunted down as soon as they leave the city. Therefore, all Taoists who participate in the auction can buy a breath-absorbing mask from me. This mask is made with special materials. , it can cover the cultivation realm and breath of the monks. To know that we cultivators are tracking someone, the most important information is a person's breath. This kind of breath has its own induction. Yes, and once the breath is tracked, it is impossible to escape, and the breath-absorbing mask we sell is just to cover the breath of our customers, so as to ensure the safety of everyone after going out from here. Of course, if If you are confident in your own combat power, you may not be able to buy this breath-absorbing mask, but we, Babaozhai, are not responsible for your personal safety after leaving the door."

After listening to it, Xiao Lin finally understood that Xu Fengniang had said so much, just to ask herself to buy a breath-reducing mask to cover her aura, to prevent being targeted and hunted down by someone with a heart.

For this method, Xiao Lin is naturally happy. He is a person who is afraid of trouble. After Xu Fengniang finished speaking, Xiao Lin said lightly: "This breath-absorbing mask is really good, I bought it."

After painstakingly paying 80 yuan for low-grade spirit stones, Xu Fengniang handed Xiao Lin a mask. After putting it on his face, he immediately turned into a 27-year-old man with a sallow complexion. It was also completely covered, and it could not be sensed at all.

Although buying a mask with low-grade spirit stones for 80 yuan made Xiao Lin feel that it was not worth it, but he also had a strong interest in the material of the mask, but he knew that now is not the time for research.

"This jade slip contains the list of items for our auction. Any cultivator who buys a breathing mask can give a copy for free." Xiao Lin, who was looking at the mask in his hand, couldn't help being stunned when he heard Xu Fengniang's words. After receiving the jade slip from Xu Fengniang's hand, he glanced at the content of the jade slip with his spiritual sense, and his face immediately beamed with joy. He suddenly felt that his 80 yuan low-grade spirit stone was worth a lot.

After putting on the mask, under the guidance of Xu Fengniang, he pushed open a door and walked in.

As soon as he entered the gate, Xiao Lin came to a pitch-dark hall. In the center of the hall was a stone platform with a size of several meters. The stone platform was surrounded by a circle of steps. The steps were three meters per pavilion. There was a seat, and it went down in circles until it reached the outermost edge, where Xiao Lin stood.

At this moment, at least 200% of those seats were already occupied by people. With a glance, Xiao Lin estimated that there were at least [-] people. What surprised Xiao Lin was that the hall with so many people was silent. Most of the cultivators closed their eyes and rested their minds, and a few people looked around, but they didn't make a sound.

In the surrounding area of ​​this hall, there are more than a dozen small private rooms. Xiao Lin knew that the small private room was full of people, but he thought it should be these eight people. Bao Zhai's guest of honor.

Xiao Lin found a seat nearby and sat down at random. Next to him, there was a black-faced man and a scar-faced man, but Xiao Lin knew that these two must also be wearing clothes bought from Xu Fengniang. The breath-holding mask is not what it really is.

After the two saw Xiao Lin, the black-faced man smiled slightly at Xiao Lin as a greeting, and then closed his eyes again and remained silent, while the scar-faced man didn't even lift his eyelids. Just looking at Xiao Lin indifferently, he turned to look at Shitai again.

Xiao Lin doesn't mind either, he knows very well that most of the people who can come here to participate in this auction are the leaders of this misty fairy city, and there are some arrogant people among them, even those who suffer alone like Xiao Lin. There are also many monks.

Moreover, Xiao Lin has always followed the principle that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Although he got the mysterious seed by chance, he has such a wonderful place as the spiritual wood space, but he can't guarantee that no one will compare My own blessing is even deeper, after all, there are people outside of people and there are heavens outside.

He looked around for a while, and even tried to scan the surroundings with his spiritual consciousness, but was surprised to find that his spiritual consciousness could not be three-dimensional. It seemed that the mask on his face not only had the function of isolating others from inspection, but also his own spiritual consciousness. Restricted, and finally Xiao Lin simply followed the example of most monks, closing his eyes and resting.

About half an hour later, Xiao Lin suddenly opened his eyes. On the central stone platform, two people appeared. One of them was an old man who looked about seven or eighty years old. His face was full of wrinkles, and he looked very old. The other person is a woman with a pure and beautiful appearance, holding a jade plate in both hands, and a shining golden bracelet on the jade plate.

Seeing the bracelet on the jade plate, there was a sudden commotion among the many monks in the stands. Xiao Lin saw that the door behind him had been closed, and a middle-aged man in a white robe stood at the door, with his arms folded over his chest , closed his eyes slightly, but when Xiao Lin saw the middle-aged man in white robe, his eyelids jumped, and there was an instinctual fear. He didn't know that this was a kind of inspiration suppression caused by the disparity in strength, but He was quite sure that this middle-aged man in white robe was definitely not a cultivator in the Qi-refining period, and in all likelihood he was a cultivator in the foundation-building period.

It seems that Babaozhai has invested a lot of money for this auction. Even the foundation-building cultivators can be hired as guards, but thinking about Xiao Lin is relieved. There are many cultivators present, which is not a lot of cultivators The best among them, in case they see the treasures that they urgently need, if they make a fuss, it will not end well.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lin turned his gaze back to the stone platform in the center. The old man on the stone platform first clasped his fists and saluted all around, before showing a warm smile and saying, "Dear fellows, Bai Tian Weng, the deacon of Babaozhai, has been ordered to preside over this event. This auction, and in order to ensure the smooth progress of this auction, so Ben Zhai invited several seniors from the Foundation Establishment period to be responsible for the safety of this auction, and this auction items are all by my side. within this star ring.

"Sure enough, it is a star ring. It is rumored that the smallest space in the star ring is about ten square meters. It is a high-level object storage device."

"Usually even a foundation-building cultivator can't afford this kind of storage device. I heard that only the ancestors of Jindan can afford it."

"That's natural. The most common price of this star ring magic weapon is more than tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. We, such as Qi-refining monks, should not think about it in this life."

"Babaozhai is really a big deal. It uses Star Ring to store the items in this auction. It seems that the auction items are very precious. I'm waiting for this trip."

Xiao Lin's eyes also lit up, and his face was full of surprise. Although he had never seen this star ring, he had heard of it. It was a high-level space magic weapon. Not only was the production process complicated, And the material is also extremely rare. It is rumored that the material used is a rare metal called star gold. This metal is not only used to make star rings, but many high-level space magic weapons require this kind of star gold.

Babaozhai used the star ring to store the auction items in order to show its financial resources among the many monks, thereby enhancing its reputation. Obviously, this purpose has been achieved.

Just this star ring is not something that the monks present can have.

After a while, the whispers in the hall slowly disappeared, Bai Tian Weng smiled and bowed his hands to everyone, saying: "This auction item is one of our Babaozhai Jindan elders who personally selected from many treasures. It came out from the major immortal cities in the Tianlu Mountains. I think it will not disappoint you fellow Daoists. Now, this old man has announced that our auction will officially start.”
