Extraordinary Cultivation Continent

After leaving the Zhenbao Pavilion, Zhang Chaofan saw that it was already getting late, so he didn't go anywhere else and led a few people with him directly back to Shushan Restaurant. After returning to Shushan Restaurant, Zhang Chaofan's sworn brother and restaurant owner Fang Hongjian then led them to the reserved room. Fang Hongjian said to Zhang Chaofan: "Brother Chaofan, there is also a night market street in this market. There is a barbecue restaurant there. The barbecue is very good. Brother Yu will take you to have barbecue together. Brother, what do you think?" Zhang Chaofan originally didn't want to. We were going out to have a barbecue, but when his newly sworn brother extended an invitation, Zhang Chaofan had no choice but to agree, so he thanked him and agreed. Zhang Chaofan asked the other five people to prepare and experience the delicious flavor of this Huangchengfang barbecue stall.

This night market street is not far from Shushan Hotel. After everyone walked for a while, a busy and brightly lit street appeared in front of them. From there, bursts of fragrant food wafted, arousing everyone's appetite. Zhang Chaofan knew that the food street of the night market had arrived. Fang Hongjian led everyone without stopping in front of other stalls, but went straight to the famous barbecue restaurant. As soon as Fang Hongjian showed up, the sharp-eyed stewards of the barbecue restaurant recognized him. They came over to greet Fang Hongjian and his party, arranged seats for them, and hurriedly informed Boss Jiang of the barbecue restaurant. After a while, Boss Jiang of the barbecue restaurant came to the front. It was different from Zhang Chaofan's imagination. He originally thought that Boss Jiang would be a greasy man. However, the Boss Jiang who appeared in front of everyone turned out to be a charming and charming person. The beautiful lady, about thirty years old, exudes a charm that is irresistible to men. Zhang Chaofan knew in his heart that this boss Jiang must have practiced a magic skill.

When Boss Jiang saw Fang Hongjian, he looked very happy, and immediately said softly: "I didn't expect Boss Fang to come to the shop in person today. The little girl is a little disappointed, and I hope Boss Fang will forgive me. Boss Fang He is a leader in the catering industry in our city. It is an honor to come to a small shop." Fang Hongjian responded modestly: "Boss Jiang, we are all people who make a living in the catering industry, but my shop The restaurant is just a little bigger, so please don’t be polite, Boss Jiang. Today I will be the host and invite my brother to taste your barbecue delicacies. Please ask Boss Jiang to take the trouble to arrange it.” Boss Jiang responded: “Then please, Boss Jiang. Wait a moment, I'll make arrangements right away. All your purchases today will be mine." After saying that, he asked a beautiful steward next to him to make a pot of good tea and bring it over, and he entertained several distinguished guests happily. Fang Hongjian knew that the food industry was not easy, and he had no intention of actually coming here to eat for free. He just planned to pay the bill himself after eating well.

Zhang Chaofan didn't say anything. He just sat quietly next to Fang Hongjian and looked at Boss Jiang with his Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes. He found that Boss Jiang turned out to be a Taoist fox fairy. No wonder he had such a charming energy. . He didn't want to reveal anyone's secrets, so he didn't make it known to a few people, he just wanted to know what was going on. Although fox fairies are not necessarily good, they are not necessarily harmful. Zhang Chaofan does not discriminate against those who are different in his heart. Ali and A Zhu around him are not human beings. Don't they get along very harmoniously?! Of course, this is inseparable from Zhang Chaofan's concept of 'all living beings are equal' .

After a short wait, a variety of delicious barbecue dishes were served. At this time, the boss Jiang appeared again and asked everyone what kind of wine they wanted to drink. Zhang Chaofan was not familiar with it and could not answer aloud. Everything was arranged by Fang Hongjian. Seeing that Zhang Chaofan didn't say anything, Fang Hongjian asked: "Brother Xian, what kind of drinks do you think we drink?" Zhang Chaofan replied: "I'm not familiar with the situation here. What kind of drinks should I ask? Make up your own mind." Several other people also said that it would be fine to let Fang Hongjian make the decision. Fang Hongjian himself is engaged in the catering industry and is of course very familiar with these. He said: "Since everyone believes in me, then I will make the decision. Why don't we just drink some clear water." He also sent a message to Zhang Chaofan and said : "This kind of clear water wine is very similar to the beer on earth. It is best to drink this kind of water wine when eating barbecue." Zhang Chaofan nodded in response. Fang Hongjian greeted the beautiful butler who was waiting nearby and offered him a piece of this kind of green water wine. When Zhang Chaofan heard this, he realized that in this world of extraordinary cultivators, there is also a custom of calling a whole box of wine a piece. After a while, a whole box of wine was delivered.

The beautiful steward picked up a bottle of clear water wine, opened the cap, and handed a bottle to each of them. Since Fang Hongjian had agreed to treat Fang Hongjian as a host, he raised the bottle high and warmly invited everyone to drink together. After a few sips of water and wine, Boss Fang invited everyone to taste the delicious barbecue. Most of these barbecue ingredients are some spirit animal meat and spirit poultry meat, roasted together with delicious spices. The monks eat these barbecues, which can nourish the body and help improve their cultivation, which is of great benefit to their cultivation. Zhang Chaofan quietly asked the beautiful steward about the price of barbecue and felt that it was not that expensive. According to his strength, there was no pressure at all on this kind of consumption. So, not only did he let himself go to eat and drink, but he also invited several of his companions to eat and drink as much as they wanted.

After these two guys, Ali and Ah Zhu, let themselves go to eat and drink, the amount of wine and barbecue they consumed was simply astonishing, which made Fang Hongjian secretly heartbroken, but he couldn't show it or let them out loud. Take it easy, both of you. On the other side, the beautiful boss Jiang sitting behind the cashier had a smile on her face, quietly calculating how much profit Zhang Chaofan and the others could bring her tonight. By the time they were full and had a barbecue meal, the wine bottles and barbecue sticks had piled up into a small mountain.

When Boss Jiang saw them finishing their meal, he used the excuse to find out whether they were satisfied with the taste of the barbecue and told them that after the barbecue meal was discounted, they still needed to pay 100,000 spiritual stones. Fang Hongjian was about to pay the bill, but Zhang Chaofan blocked him behind him. He took out twenty top-quality healing pills from the ring and handed them to Boss Jiang. After Boss Jiang reached out to take them, he looked at them carefully and smiled. Take it down. Twenty healing pills of this grade would definitely be worth more than 100,000 spirit stones. Boss Jiang felt that his fortune was very good today and he was extremely happy. In the southern part of the Extraordinary Immortal Cultivation Continent, this kind of universal elixir, especially such a high-grade healing elixir, is in great demand. It can be used as currency in the market and everyone is happy to accept it. It is completely acceptable to use it as money to settle accounts. No problem.

When Fang Hongjian saw Zhang Chaofan paying for it with healing pills, he thought he didn't have much wealth, so he immediately took out a Najie, handed it to Zhang Chaofan, and said, "Brother, you don't have much money, yet you still fight with me to pay for it." What? I originally agreed that I would invite a few people over to have a barbecue, but instead I asked you to pay the bill. Why do you have any shame in calling me Brother Yu? There are some spiritual stones here, brother, take them and spend them." Zhang Chaofan picked up the ring in his hand. , his spiritual consciousness took a look into it, and found that there were more than two million spiritual stones inside. He was about to return the ring to Fang Hongjian, but Fang Hongjian refused to accept it. Finally, Zhang Chaofan had no choice but to accept the ring and thanked Fang Hongjian. Then, everyone returned to Shushan Restaurant to rest and prepare to attend the auction at the Royal Auction House the next day.

A night of silence. At dawn the next day, Zhang Chaofan and the other six packed up early and were about to set off when Fang Hongjian appeared in front of them. In fact, Fang Hongjian is now at the middle stage of Nascent Soul Realm and is considered a big shot in this city. As soon as he appeared, he said cheerfully: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu has arranged the affairs of the restaurant today. Come on, let Brother Yu accompany you to the auction today." Zhang Chaofan thought that it would be more convenient to have an acquaintance accompany him, so he didn't refuse and happily agreed. Flying is prohibited inside Fang City. Fang Hongjian led everyone and took a shortcut for more than half an hour before arriving in front of a huge building in the center of Fang City. Fang Hongjian said: "Brother, the auction house is here. This is the The management of the royal estate is very strict. It is best not to cause trouble here, otherwise you may get into trouble. There are many experts stationed by the royal family in the auction house, so remember to try not to conflict with them. "

Zhang Chaofan smiled and replied: "Brother, please relax, we are not trouble-makers. I remember a great man in my hometown said, 'I will not offend others if they don't offend me. If they offend me, I will offend them.' As long as no one If you mess with me, I promise to live in peace with others." Fang Hongjian smiled and said: "I didn't expect that I could remember the teachings of great men when I came here. It's really extraordinary! I feel relieved that my brother can do this." After that, the two of them The people looked at each other and smiled, showing a knowing look.

Fang Hongjian asked: "Brother Chaofan, do you have any specific purpose for coming to this auction?" Zhang Chaofan replied: "I have never participated in an auction before. This time I just came to experience it, and I have no special purpose. Of course, when I encounter something useful, I will try to get it. If I can take a picture, it will be better. If I can't, it's not a big deal." Fang Hongjian said, "My dear brother has such a mentality, so let's participate in the auction this time. It was very relaxing and there was no psychological pressure at all.”

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the auction house. They saw a tall stone lion placed on both sides of the gate. The stone lions were carved lifelike. At first glance, they were not just two simple stone sculptures. Those two This stone sculpture exudes an intimidating power. If you guessed correctly, these should be two high-grade puppet magic weapons, which are used to help guard the gate of the auction house to prevent Xiaoxiao from causing trouble. This kind of puppet is only equivalent to the level of the early Yuanying. For Zhang Chaofan and the other seven people, neither momentum nor strength has any impact. Standing next to the stone lion on the left side is a small group of people, consisting of one man and four women. The man is about forty years old, with a fair complexion, a long beard under his body, and long cheeks. Although he is wearing the uniform of the Royal Auction House, But at first glance, he gives the impression that he is a mean and calculating person. Zhang Chaofan took a look with Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes and found that this person's body was covered with a faint layer of black energy. He further concluded that this person was not a kind person, and he couldn't help but feel wary of him. The other four are all young girls wearing light purple uniforms. These beautiful stewards are the people responsible for reception and other chores in the auction house.

Fang Hongjian led everyone to the door. When the leading man saw them, he clasped his fists and said in greeting: "Boss Fang, it's rare for you to come here today. Our auction is even more lively today." Fang Hongjian clasped his fists and said: "Manager Zhu, long time no see. I just brought my friends here to meet him." He pointed at Zhang Chaofan and said, "So that Manager Zhu can know that this is my sworn brother, the tutor of Bahuang Academy." After that, After handing the entry fee of 70 spiritual stones to Manager Zhu, and after Manager Zhu accepted the spiritual stones, Fang Hongjian introduced Manager Zhu to Zhang Chaofan.

Out of sympathy, Zhang Chaofan had no choice but to gesture with his hand. When Manager Zhu saw that Zhang Chaofan was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he first felt a little contempt in his heart. He didn't even bother to raise his hands and just nodded casually. As if the elders were accepting the etiquette of the younger ones, Fang Hongjian felt very unhappy when he saw Manager Zhu acting like this, but knowing that the auction house was not easy to mess with, he could only endure it and did not force himself to come forward. Because this manager Zhu despised Zhang Chaofan, and Fang Hongjian's status in his mind was not very high, he just ordered one of the four beautiful stewards, steward Huang, to lead them to the auction hall instead of leading them to the VIP room. There is nothing wrong with Manager Zhu's arrangement. Those VIP rooms are specially prepared for the royal family or guests with special status. Ordinary people cannot enjoy such preferential treatment. When the beautiful steward was about to turn around and lead Zhang Chaofan away, Zhang Chaofan said, "Wait a minute." Then, he took out a badge from his body and handed it to steward Huang. Manager Huang took it and took a look and found that it was the badge from the Sixth Prince's Palace. He did not dare to neglect it and immediately handed the badge to Manager Zhu. Manager Zhu then squinted and looked again, then squinted at Zhang Chaofan with a pair of small eyes, and asked in an uncertain voice: "May I ask this young master, where did your Sixth Prince's Palace badge come from?"

Hearing such a question, Zhang Chaofan felt very annoyed. This was obviously doubting his identity! But he didn't want to get too entangled with such a little person, so he answered truthfully: "Manager Zhu, this belt was awarded to me personally by the Sixth Prince. The Sixth Prince is my grandfather, and King Yuan and King Wu are mine." Uncle, I am the second son of Princess Ru of the Sixth Prince's Palace." When Manager Zhu heard what Zhang Chaofan said, he still didn't quite believe it, but he didn't want to offend the super power of the Imperial City, the Sixth Prince's Palace, so he had to call Manager Huang , gave her a few instructions in a low voice, and asked her to take Zhang Chaofan and his party to a VIP room of the worst grade. After understanding this, Manager Huang turned around and led the way, leading Fang Hongjian and Zhang Chaofan to VIP Room No. 48. Zhang Chaofan thought to himself that this VIP room is only for temporary use. No matter how high-end it is, it has no use. Just have a VIP room.

After Steward Huang brought them there, he greeted the steward in charge of VIP Room No. 48 and then returned to the gate. Fang Hongjian, Zhang Chaofan and other seven people found their own seats and sat down. The steward in the room immediately came over to greet them and said: "Dear guests, welcome to our Royal Auction House and participate in this auction. Are there any drinkers? What kind of drink should you order?" Fang Hongjian asked for everyone's opinions, and then said to the beautiful steward: "First make a pot of Hong Ling tea, and then get some clear water wine." After the beautiful steward agreed, he said: " Dear guests, a copy of today’s auction information has been prepared on the stage in front of you. You can take a look at it first. It may provide you with some help when you actually participate in the auction. This is also our auction. We give preferential treatment to VIPs in VIP rooms." This is the first time Zhang Chaofan has participated in an auction since he came to this world. Some details are not clear yet, but Fang Hongjian is different. He has participated in many such auctions before. , he knew some details, but he had never been to this kind of VIP room before, nor had he seen this kind of information provided to VIP room guests. He was too embarrassed to compete with Zhang Chaofan first, so he picked up the information casually, Passed it to Zhang Chaofan. Zhang Chaofan was not polite to Fang Hongjian, so he took the information and started looking through it.

There are only four or five pages of these materials in total, and the content is actually not much. They mainly introduce the main items to be auctioned at the auction, which is usually called the highlight. This information introduces a total of ten items, including elixirs, magic weapons, materials, spiritual objects, rare spiritual beasts and spiritual birds, etc. It also highlighted the two final lots in this auction, a spiritual bird with ancient bloodline and a natural treasure. Zhang Chaofan looked through it from front to back and was interested in the above three things. Those three things are: the first piece of treasure armor suitable for the Nascent Soul Realm, which he wants to take and send home for his father to use; the second piece is the ancient spirit bird, which can continue to grow. It can always be with him, and can be used as a means of transportation or as a fighting aid; the third piece is an enlightenment stone. He is about to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and this enlightenment stone may help him gain enlightenment.

Because they arrived very early, they had to drink tea and drink while waiting for the auction to start. After waiting for about half an hour, no one came in. There were only more than a hundred people attending the auction sitting sparsely in the hall, and there were only a few VIP rooms with guests. Generally speaking, there were only a few people who came to attend this event. There were not many people at the auction, and the total number of people attending the auction was less than 200. I don’t know if this is because there was not enough publicity in the early stage, or because there are no outstanding items participating in the auction. Generally speaking, as long as there are not enough people, the atmosphere of the auction may not be uplifting, and the items put up for auction are unlikely to achieve the ideal high price.

At this moment, a sweet-looking, plump and mature tall woman in her thirties came to the auction table in the center of the hall with coquettish steps and a fat ass. After getting on the stage, she bowed and saluted all around. After the salute was completed, she stood facing the direction of the VIP room, smiled and said: "My little lady is Ye Fengchun, the senior auctioneer. Welcome everyone to this auction. I hope you can bid. I will get satisfactory items. According to the arrangement of our bank, I will serve you today, and I will wholeheartedly provide you with the best service." After saying that, he smiled sweetly, which made several young guests who participated in the auction feel very excited. I can't wait to get her immediately. In the hall, the shills arranged by the auction house started waves of cheers in order to boost the atmosphere. They wanted to arouse the passion of the participants and actively participate in the bidding competition. They looked forward to the success of the auction and the auction house to obtain more. Interests.

Amid cheers, Ye Fengchun waved a beautiful woman holding a red cloth-covered tray to the auction stage. When the beautiful woman came on stage, Ye Fengchun motioned for her to place the tray on the table in front of her. After the beauty retreated, Ye Fengchun smiled charmingly and said to everyone: "Everyone, now the first lot of this auction has been sent to the auction table. Please guess what the item is. There will be a prize for guessing it. Oh." Then, the sound of everyone's guessing came from all around. Zhang Chaofan did not guess directly, but looked at the tray covered with red cloth with his Taixu Purple Immortal Eyes. He saw that what was placed on the tray was a set of protective magic weapons and a piece of armor. He guessed in his heart that this The treasure armor should be the one that the introduction materials say is suitable for use in the Nascent Soul realm. It is also common practice in general auctions to take out high-quality products as the first lot. He glanced at Ye Fengchun again, and found that although she was only practicing the Charming Art, she was in the late stage of Condensing Pill Realm, and her cultivation level was there. No wonder she could have a charming voice, clear enunciation, and a low voice. Everyone in the entire auction venue could hear clearly. Such strength is very beneficial to her current work.

Everyone guessed for a long time, but none of them got it right. The noise of guessing gradually subsided, and when the crowd's voice dropped, Ye Fengchun asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to guess? If he can guess it right, he will take the photo again." , then you only need to spend 20% off the last quoted spirit stone to take a photo of this item." Just as she finished speaking, Zhang Chaofan's lazy voice floated out from VIP Room No. 48, "It is A treasured armor suitable for use in the Nascent Soul Realm." "Is there anyone else bidding?" Ye Fengchun asked again. Seeing that no one guessed, Ye Fengchun said: "Did the distinguished guest No. 48 guess correctly? I don't know either. Having said that, let the facts speak for themselves." As she said this, she lifted up the red cloth, and in an instant, the precious armor appeared in front of everyone. At this time, Ye Fengchun said: "Everyone, please take a closer look. This treasure armor is nothing ordinary at first glance. It seems to be a set of colorless and transparent treasure armor. The level of refining is extremely high, and the grade has reached high-level defense." The grade of magic weapon. According to the appraisal of our appraisal master, this is a mysterious level magic weapon, which is made from a mixture of heavenly silk and dragon tendon. It is a rare treasure. It is suitable for use by Yuanying realm monks and is especially valuable. The most important thing is that it is a defensive magic weapon. When a monk uses it, it can greatly improve the survival rate, which is equivalent to one more life. Of course, this treasure also has some flaws, that is, it needs to recognize the owner before it can be used. After taking the photo, it needs to be sacrificed. Refining talents can be regarded as your own magic weapon. The starting price of this magic weapon is fifty thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one thousand spirit stones. Please bid enthusiastically."

In the hall under the stage, sitting next to the auction table, there was a big man who looked to be under forty years old. He was the first to raise a placard to quote 50,000. As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with a white beard not far from him raised his placard. The card quoted fifty-five thousand spiritual stones. After a while, the quotation reached 90,000 spiritual stones. Fewer people saw the quotation, so Zhang Chaofan quoted 95,000 spiritual stones in his lazy voice. The auction house was quiet for a while, and then from eight Someone in the VIP room No. 1 quoted a price of 98,000 spirit stones. Zhang Chaofan heard the voice and recognized the twenty-five-year-old prince. It seemed that they did not leave and stayed to participate in the auction.

Zhang Chaofan did not follow the quotation immediately. He deliberately waited until Ye Fengchun asked twice before quoting 100,000 spirit stones, lest the prince think it was directed at him. However, that prince didn't care so much. When he heard that someone was still quoting someone to compete with him, he immediately became furious and cursed loudly: "Who is this short-sighted thing who dares to steal what I like?" Zhang Chaofan immediately He replied: "My twenty-fifth prince, I am not trying to compete with you. I do have some use for this treasured armor. Please forgive me. In this auction, the highest bidder wins. Let's rely on our strength." The twenty princes heard what Zhang Chaofan said and recognized Zhang Chaofan's voice. Although he felt unhappy, he had to endure it and continued to quote the price of one hundred and two thousand spiritual stones. Zhang Chaofan was determined to get it, so he did not hesitate. The price of one hundred and five thousand spiritual stones was quoted.

The real value of this armor magic weapon is only about 100,000 spirit stones. If it exceeds 105,000, it is a bit worthless. After weighing the price, the twenty princes did not continue to bid. Finally, Ye Fengchun struck the hammer, and Zhang Chaofan won the armor for one hundred and five thousand spirit stones. And because Zhang Chaofan had guessed correctly just now, Zhang Chaofan only You need to pay 84,000 spirit stones to get this armor. Zhang Chaofan was very happy. He just made a guess and saved himself more than 20,000 spirit stones. It was really a good deal. After a while, a beautiful steward brought the armor to the VIP room No. 48. Zhang Chaofan paid the spirit stone and accepted the armor.

If you want to know what happened next, the next chapter will be more exciting.
