Chapter 22

"Everyone, the following auction item is a strange fruit, Aesculus aesculus. The Aescinus aesculus tree grows in the dark and dark underground. It takes 500 years to mature, and it will bear fruit in another 1000 years. It can be said that it is rare to meet Please, the starting price is three thousand spirit crystals!"

Xiang Hong, who was already drowsy, trembled when he heard the words of the host on stage, and woke up.He couldn't remember how many things he had auctioned before, and the prices that could easily go up to ten thousand spirit crystals had already made him a little numb.

Xiang Hong moved closer to Xiao Ni, and said in a low voice, "The things in this auction cost tens of thousands of dollars every now and then. Is the little money we prepared enough?"

Xiao Ni nodded and said: "Although the seven-leaf losang fruit is rare, it is only a spiritual fruit after all. It may fail to make alchemy. It is different from the previous magic weapons. I think five thousand spirit crystals are enough. You first Give it three thousand and five for a try."

Xiang Hong nodded, and slowly raised the green card in his hand.

"Six thousand spirit crystals!" Suddenly a deep voice came from the crowd in front of them.

Xiang Hong was taken aback for a moment, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

"No way, this person's brain is broken?" Xiao Ni was immediately stunned on the spot, why did everything go so wrong recently, even when someone took a picture of something, someone interfered!
After Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face suddenly changed. Compared with the price of six thousand spirit crystals, the line of information sent to his retina by XL8000 surprised him even more.

The result of the voiceprint comparison was consistent with that of Elder Li of the Seven Star Sect.

Most of the people sitting in the front row of the venue had black veils covering their faces, covering their real faces, and this person's voice was completely different from Elder Li's.But the voice can be changed, but the voiceprint cannot be changed. XL8000 should not go wrong.

At this time, there was another person in Tsing Yi with a black veil covering his face who quoted a price of [-] spirit crystals. Xiao Ni covered her face with helplessness and said, "Crazy, these people are all crazy!" ..."

Xiang Hong slowly lowered his half-raised hand, his face regained his composure, and the price in the field was fought back and forth several times, and finally the man in Tsing Yi bought the seven-leaf lausang fruit with nine thousand spirit crystals.

The man in Tsing Yi left in a hurry after getting the spiritual fruit, and Xiang Hong noticed that Elder Li also left after a while.

"You wait here, I'll go out for a while." Xiang Hong whispered to the distraught Xiao Ni, and also got away and left the auction house.

……

In a dark narrow alley, suddenly a few faint lights flashed, and then there was a faint scream, and the sound stopped abruptly, like a duck that wanted to sing, but was suddenly strangled by someone .

A moment later, a strong bloody smell began to pervade this narrow alley. In the darkness, Elder Li, who had taken off his veil, could be seen walking out slowly, with a smug look on his face. On the corner, there were still a few drops of bright red blood stains.

Xiang Hong was wearing ground-effect camouflage, and hid motionless in a corner far away, quietly watching Elder Li kill the man in Tsing Yi, and took off his storage bag.

Elder Li was not in a hurry to leave after killing and seizing the treasure, but walked slowly towards Xiang Hong's direction.

"Xiang Hong, come out."

Elder Li's voice was low and steady, with a hint of chill in it.

Xiang Hong's heart sank slightly, when did Elder Li find himself?He hesitated for a moment, but stretched out his hand and pulled off the camouflage, exposing his figure in front of Elder Li.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the funeral at this moment? Why did you come to Tiannan City? I was really surprised to see you at the auction just now." Elder Li said as he approached Xiang Hong, with a killing intent like an undercurrent , Surging silently in the dark street, Xiang Hong felt a little stiff in his body, feeling like a frog stared at by a poisonous snake.

Xiang Hong licked his lips, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible: "The seven-leaf losang fruit over at the burial plain is fake news, and the Yin Sha Sect used this fake news to lure monks into their trap. After I found out, I left the burial plain , come to Tiannan City to try your luck..."

"It seems that my original estimate was correct..." Elder Li walked to Xiang Hong and stood seven steps away, looked at him and said, "I didn't expect much for you to be buried in the original place, but you can I was quite surprised to find Tiannan City by myself."

Xiang Hong couldn't help feeling angry when he heard this. It was obvious that Elder Li asked him to be buried in the original place, but he just regarded himself as a stone to explore the way.

"Where's the girl with you? Why didn't she come?" Elder Li looked around with a relaxed expression, as if he was chatting with Xiang Hong.

Xiang Hong forced a smile, and said, "I said I wanted to meet the elder of the sect, Elder Li, and I already asked her to leave first."

Xiang Hong's words vaguely implied that Elder Li, if you kill me now, someone will know the truth of this matter.

"So what, don't I dare to kill you?" A smile flashed across Elder Li's face, he looked at Xiang Hong and said, "You are not worthy of threatening me!"

Elder Li suddenly stretched out his hand towards Xiang Hong, and Xiang Hong suddenly felt a huge and incomparable force entangled himself in it, wrapped him tightly, and his internal organs seemed to be completely crushed in a blink of an eye!

"Oh..." Xiang Hong tried his best to maintain his composure, and said with a grinning face, "I'm here to congratulate you on getting the spiritual fruit, don't do it..."

"You are very clever, and you have some tricks. You can even recognize me in the auction house and follow me here. I really appreciate you." Elder Li quietly withdrew his hand, and Xiang Hong only felt the air around him. As soon as he let go, he regained his freedom, panting heavily, his heart beating wildly.

"Forget about this time, I will guarantee your safety in the sect." Elder Li's figure gradually disappeared in the dark street like an illusion, and the voice came from a very far away, which was somewhat inaudible.

"Remember that you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

……

When Xiang Hong returned to the auction house, the auction had already ended.Seeing his gloomy face, Xiao Ni thought that he was depressed and couldn't get a picture of the Aesculus, so she had nothing to say and said, "Where have you been? The finale pieces are all amazing." Your treasure, you haven’t seen it yet.”

How could Xiang Hong have the heart to care about those treasures now? He glanced at Xiao Ni and said, "The seven-leaf losang fruit is no longer needed, and this matter is over."

Xiao Ni couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "What happened?"

"The less you know, the better. I don't want to involve you." Xiang Hong thought for a while, looked at Xiao Ni and said, "Remember that you owe me a favor, and you will have to pay it back sooner or later."

Xiang Hong and Xiao Ni walked out of the black market, the moon was hanging high, and the night wind brought a little coolness, it was already midnight.

In any case, Elder Li's entrustment was finally dealt with, and his safety in the Seven Star Sect was also guaranteed.Next, as long as Xiang Hong purchases a batch of spiritual materials for refining Yunyuan Pill, he can return to the Seven Star Sect's cave mansion and retreat to the ninth level of Qi Condensation Dzogchen.

Xiang Hong looked at Xiao Ni and asked, "I'm going to return to the Seven Star Sect next time, what's your plan for the next step?"

Xiao Ni answered very simply: "I'll go to the headquarters of the business alliance in the city and ask them to arrange a new place for me."

Xiang Hong laughed lightly, and said, "You ruined Yuxiu Villa, and you ruined the Burial Inn. Will they arrange another place for you?"

"You have the nerve to say that you caused these two incidents!" Xiao Ni gave Xiang Hong a hard look, but after all her life was saved by Xiang Hong, so it's hard to say anything, "You are my fault!" The catastrophe, never let me meet you again in the future!"

Xiang Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Then let's leave here, and I will definitely take a detour when I meet you in the future."

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Ni suddenly called Xiang Hong to stop, Xiang Hong was taken aback, then turned his head to look at Xiao Ni, not knowing what else she had to do.

Xiao Ni sneered and said, "I'm penniless now, and board and lodging are problems. If you lend me some money, I'll return it to you later."

Xiang Hong sighed, reached out and took out a storage bag from his arms, which contained a thousand spirit crystals.He threw the storage bag to Xiao Ni, then waved his hand and turned to leave.

"I've worked hard for you these past few days. These are the condolence money, so you don't need to pay it back."
