Infinite Travel: I know a lot of goddesses

……

There is no difference in appearance between the Han people and the Miao people. After everyone changed into Miao costumes, the curious eyes around them quickly disappeared.

Although Shen Ye, who had watched the anime, knew where the auction was in Gui City, it was his first time there, so he could only pretend not to know. He asked Chi Meng to ask the owner of the clothing store about the whereabouts of the Anti-Poison Bead. Then everyone learned that precious treasures like the Anti-Poison Bead could only be bought at the auction held in Gui City.

Having just done a big business, the clothing store owner pointed to the south of Gui City enthusiastically and said, "Do you see the row of wooden houses over there? The auction will be held in the largest one. It will be hosted by Xiao Weng, the manager of Gui City. However, there is still more than half an hour before the auction starts. If you are not in a hurry, you can find a place to sit for a while like them and taste the special snacks of our Miaojiang."

As he spoke, he pointed to a few snack stands not far away, where many people were sitting, waiting for the auction to begin. Some of them spoke fluent Central Plains Mandarin and were obviously businessmen from the Central Plains.

"Thank you." Shen Ye clasped his fists towards the shop owner and walked over with the crowd.

After asking the snack stand owner to clear out two tables and put them together and ordering some snacks they had never tasted before, everyone sat around together, eating while waiting.

Soon, half an hour passed. Shen Ye threw down a small silver ingot and followed the crowd who stood up at the same time to go to the largest wooden house.

In front of the wooden house, seven or eight strong Miao men with bare arms were guarding the door. However, in addition to maintaining order and preventing accidents, they also had the important job of collecting venue fees.

Shen Ye and his group waited in line for a while. When it was their turn, a Miao man glanced at him and asked, "How many people?"

"Eight."

"The admission fee is eight taels of gold." The sturdy man said with a gesture.

Shen Ye did not complain about the high entrance fee. He casually threw a gold ingot weighing about ten taels to the strong man, and then said generously, "No need to give me the change."

"So cool." Hou Qing behind him tapped his palm with a bone flute and said uncontrollably.

Afterwards, the group entered the auction house.

Although it is an auction house, its layout is completely different from the high-end ones in later generations. In the empty hall, there are more than ten or twenty long wooden tables arranged around a round table. On each table, there is a huge pale white candle lit. The combined candlelight illuminates the entire hall as if it were daytime.

Led by a pretty Miao girl, the crowd found a table and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.

After waiting for a while, when the pale candle had burned about one-tenth, a huge middle-aged Miao man, surrounded by a group of experts, walked into the auction, and then he announced the start of the auction.

Next, each auction item was brought to the center of the circular platform, where it was displayed and explained by a Miao girl with a red line painted under each eye, followed by a series of bidding sounds.

Shen Ye's target was the Anti-Poison Bead, and he was not very interested in the other auction items. Lu Linxuan and others beside him were the same as him, so they chatted while waiting for the Anti-Poison Bead to appear.

As the auction items came on stage one by one and were bought one by one, after a long time, a box appeared in the hands of the Miao girl.

"Poison-avoiding beads, starting price is one hundred taels of silver."

The Miao girl opened the box, revealing the emerald green beads inside, and her gentle voice spread throughout the hall, which had suddenly become quiet.

Then, the next second, the quiet hall suddenly became lively again, with voices and bids getting louder and louder, almost blowing the roof off.

Shen Ye did not join in immediately. Instead, he supported his chin, drank tea boredly, and at the same time comforted the somewhat nervous Chi Meng.

"Don't worry, I'll make the final decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, a merchant from the Central Plains shouted out six thousand taels of silver, which eased the heated atmosphere in the entire hall.

The price is already high.

Although the anti-poison beads are very rare, they are not seen every few years. There are always four or five of them in a year, and they are not very useful. Except for some people who want to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons to learn skills, many people just want to keep them as collections.

So after a long time, no one raised the price anymore.

Just as the Central Plains businessman stood up with some pride and went to pick up his auction item, Shen Ye uttered five words lightly.

"Gold, one thousand taels."

……

Since they arrived in Miaojiang in advance, the small episodes in the original drama naturally could not have happened. There was no so-called people from the Yan tribe stealing the poison beads, nor did they have any intersection with Xiao Weng, the manager of Guishi.

The whole process was uneventful and easy. Even Shen Ye's final decision to increase the price did not cause much waves. At most, the beautiful Miao girl with wheat-colored skin looked at him a few more times, but there was no subsequent development.

This made Shen Ye, who had some plans in mind, feel a little regretful, but he didn't feel regretful for too long because business was more important.

Afterwards, under the curious gazes of Hou Qing and Ajie on where he got so much gold from, Shen Ye paid the full amount of one thousand taels of gold, took the anti-poison beads personally delivered by the Miao girl, and left Guishi with everyone.

……

After coming out of Gui City, it was already late at night. Since they didn't have any luggage, it was impossible for Shen Ye and his group to go directly to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave at this time, so they returned to Qianshan Village to rest.

Then on the next day, after breakfast, everyone set out for the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Speaking of which, the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons is mysterious, but it’s not that the location is difficult to find, it’s just difficult to enter. In fact, as long as you drill into the place with the most miasma and pass through, you will reach the Cave of Ten Thousand Poisons.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the art of poisoning insects, or you have anti-poison beads, otherwise you will die from the poisonous miasma after taking a few steps.

Shen Ye and his group, who set out from Qianshan Village, soon arrived at the outskirts of a deep mountain forest filled with miasma.

Even though they were still more than ten meters away from the endless green miasma, the stench emitted by the miasma still made Lu Linxuan and Miao Xuan, who were only at the Lesser Heavenly Level, feel dizzy and swollen. They were so scared that they quickly practiced qigong and regulated their breathing, and only then did they feel better.

Shen Ye could naturally smell it, but he didn't feel any reaction in his body. However, to be cautious, he still held his breath and then took the anti-poison bead out of the box.

Swish!

As the anti-poison beads appeared, the almost invisible green miasma that permeated the periphery quickly faded away like melting ice and snow.

After Shen Ye estimated the distance at which the anti-poison bead could be effective, it was about seven or eight meters, so he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that the effect was quite good and that it might be no problem for thirty to fifty people.

However, just in case, before leaving, he still asked everyone around him to stay close to him.

then……

"set off!"
