The villain is right beside me

The first item sold was a good quality pill for improving cultivation. This small bottle of pill was described by this eloquent woman as being unparalleled in the world and hard to find. Even Mu Qing was tempted to pay out his spirit stones to buy it. Not to mention other cultivators who were in urgent need of breaking through bottlenecks.

Sure enough, as soon as the base price of 200 spirit stones was announced, three or four impatient people quickly made bids. In the blink of an eye, the price of the Building Pill was raised to 300 spirit stones. This made other cultivators who also wanted to bid unable to resist the idea of ​​bidding again.

Next, two strong men came out from the back carrying a box. When they threw the box onto the stage, a heavy sound was heard.

One of the strong men opened the box, and what was inside shocked Mu Qing.

It was a blood-black puppet in the shape of a human, exactly like a human. Its cold appearance was creepy enough.

"This is a corpse puppet made by a cultivator who had reached the perfect state of enlightenment. Its body defense is no less than that of a cultivator of the same realm. It is a rare life-saving item. If you can refine it, it is equivalent to having an extra personal bodyguard. And don't worry, there are no side effects in refining this item. The starting price is 300 spirit stones."

Although Mu Qing was wearing a bamboo hat and no one could see his expression at the moment, his heart was already in turmoil.

Using a real dead body to make a puppet was unacceptable to Mu Qing, who had received education from the people. This was the work of evil. Even though Lao Wang repeatedly reminded him that there were many ruthless, cruel, and horrible things in the world of immortal cultivation, Mu Qing did not dare to look at the corpse puppet, which really made him feel sick.

How could such an item appear in Piao Miao Sect?

"What's so strange about that? Do you think that famous and upright people must be upright? On the contrary, these people do more dirty things behind the scenes." Lao Wang said without any surprise.

After two items were auctioned off one after another, the next item presented was one of the top-grade treasures refined by Mu Qing.

"The next auction item is a bit special. It is a top-grade Disha Gourd. You can take a look at it first, and then I will make a bid." The beautiful woman looked even more strange. After a dry cough, a young woman next to her who was holding a wooden box slowly lifted the box and took out the Disha Gourd inside.

The people around became more interested and leaned forward to look, wanting to know what kind of top-grade treasure it was that could make her look like that.

Mu Qing looked at the treasure held in the fair hands of the young woman on the auction table. He could clearly see four shining silver lines, and... a symbol engraved on it next to the spiritual pattern.

At this moment, countless people stared, and slowly silence fell all around. But soon, bursts of uproar suddenly broke out.

"Four Spiritual Refining Patterns! Am I seeing things?"

"You're crazy! You turned a low-grade treasure into a top-grade one, and you actually succeeded!"

"This is outrageous! This is too outrageous! With this level of spiritual refining, why would he refine a low-grade treasure? It's such a waste!"

"Damn it, who did this! If I had this ability, I would go and refine magic weapons!"

Especially those platform-building monks who had not paid attention to the auction, all looked at it in surprise. When they saw the four silver lines on the pill, they all widened their eyes, gasped, and some even stood up directly, stunned.

You should know that the success rate of spirit refining is not high. One time is okay, two times are acceptable, three times is still a little bit lacking, and as for the fourth time... it depends on luck. Even a master dare not say that he will succeed in three times.

In the entire Piaomiao Sect, no master who can refine spirits to the third level dares to say that the chances are 100%. In fact, too many people have accidentally destroyed their magic weapons while refining their spirits, and they are extremely heartbroken. As a result, they love and hate refining spirits. If someone around them succeeds, it will definitely attract countless envy.

If a magic weapon could produce four patterns after being refined, then the power of this magic weapon would be much greater, enough to shock others and be sought after and desired by countless people. And now... they actually saw a magic weapon that had been refined four times!

This is like taking a scrapped, rusty iron sword, a blank weapon without any attributes, and forcibly strengthening it four times... This, this, this... This is simply a waste!

They had complicated expressions, with endless thoughts in their minds. Some even clenched their fists, with veins bulging on their faces. Especially the disciples from the Refining Spirit Peak, who had learned to refine spirits and were even more heartbroken at this moment.

Mu Qing was watching all this from the stage and felt helpless. Everyone was looking at him in disgrace, and no one noticed that the mark on that treasure was more eye-catching than the silver pattern...

Mu Qing shouted, "Huh? Why does the pattern on it look familiar..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him looked over again. Just now they were all attracted by the four silver lines and didn't pay attention to other places. Now when they looked over, they immediately saw the "immortal" pattern.

"This pattern... I remember now. Isn't this the mark of the Immortal Pattern Master who ranks first on the top ten list of the Spirit Pattern Tower on Tianfu Peak?!"

"They are exactly the same, and the spirit is the same. This was... drawn by the same person!"

"Could it be that the one who refined this treasure was the mysterious Immortal Pattern Master in the sect?"

Suddenly, the people around were in an uproar. All the people here were disciples of Piaomiao Sect, and there were also many from Tianfu Peak. After they all noticed the mark, they immediately exclaimed.

Gradually, more and more people saw the mark of the Immortal Mark Master. They all gasped and countless people stood up. You have to know that the Immortal Mark Master has not disappeared for too long. His reputation has long been known throughout the sect, and everyone often speculates about who he is.

Unfortunately, there is still no answer until now. The other party is too mysterious, to the extent that no one knows. He is also very low-key, as if he has a calm personality and does not care about any external affairs.

And today, it actually... appeared again!

And as soon as it appeared, it shocked the auction house and everyone in this way.

In the crowd, Yixuan was also at the auction. At this moment, her eyes suddenly lit up with brilliance. She stared at the treasure, her chest heaving, and her mood changing drastically.

"He finally showed up. The Four Spiritual Refining Patterns. Is this the answer you told the world?" Yi Xuan took a deep breath. In her heart, the figure of the Immortal Pattern Master faintly emerged, a genius who did not pursue fame and fortune, but only wanted to study the avenue of spiritual patterns diligently.

There was an uproar at this moment due to the appearance of the Immortal Pattern Master's mark, but this time no one questioned or cursed, but instead everyone thought about it and was shocked.

"He is pursuing perfection!"

"This person is persistent. He refines spiritual tools not for buying and selling, but to explore the essence of the way of spiritual patterns. He is persistent!"

Even those disciples who were heartbroken before now looked at each other, took a deep breath, and looked at the treasure solemnly. At this moment, no one thought that the other party was a spirit refiner who was showing off.

Mu Qing was speechless. He didn't expect that so many people would use their imaginations to spread the rumor so exaggeratedly.

In that case, let’s just keep making the mistake!

"I understand now. This person is not crazy, nor is he showing off. He has great ambitions. This is a persistent spirit of exploration. He is determined to refine treasures of the highest quality!" Mu Qing shouted.

"This kind of persistence, this kind of perseverance, this kind of dedication to perfecting the soul is worthy of learning for all of us!"

"This treasure is worth keeping. I'll definitely get it!" The eyes of the disciples all shone brightly. This treasure was not suitable for them to use, but they could feel a spirit from it.

As they looked at the treasure, they seemed to see the figure of a Qilin who was indifferent to fame and gain, single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate in spiritual patterns.

Seeing the change in the conversation among the people around him, Lao Wang opened his eyes wide and stared blankly at the people around him. Listening to their words, Lao Wang felt embarrassed for him.

"You are really thick-skinned."

"Hey, even Wang Po brags about herself when she's selling melons."

At this moment, the woman on the auction stage coughed and smiled: "Since everyone has seen it, we still have two such treasures, so let's auction them together!"

She clapped her hands, and then two maids came up and presented the black iron ring and the sunset bow. The black iron ring also had four spiritual patterns, while the sunset bow had five!

This made everyone gasp again, and they were all shocked. As expected, the two treasures also had the mark of the Immortal Pattern Master. No one could imitate this aura.

"These three items are 1000 Spiritual Stones each, a total of 3000 Spiritual Stones. Each increase in price must be no less than 50 Spiritual Stones."

"3500!"

"I'll offer 4000! I'm determined to get these three treasures!"

"5000! I wonder who will snatch it from me!"

Those disciples immediately opened their bids, and their voices spread all around, instantly igniting a frenzy in the area.

One after another, a large number of bids were heard, and soon the price reached 9000 spirit stones. Mu Qing's mouth was dry, his breathing was rapid, and he couldn't believe it all.

Crazy, all crazy...

Mu Qing thought, I originally wanted to be a scalper and sell the treasures at a low price, so forget it. Otherwise, this reputation will be ruined by myself, and it may even cause public outrage.

"Spirit Stone." Yixuan suddenly spoke in the crowd. When her voice spread out, it attracted countless people to look at her. Mu Qing couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Ten thousand!

This was already the limit for many disciples, and it was a sky-high price for three top-grade treasures. However, Yixuan wanted to buy it back not to use it, but to study the spiritual patterns on it, especially the five spiritual patterns, which were very valuable even for the masters of the building platform realm.

Mu Qing suddenly thought of a word: blindly following the trend. But I have to say, these blind people are good at being blind!

In the end, seeing that no one was bidding anymore, the three treasures finally fell into Yixuan's hands.

After the auction ended that day, Mu Qing left. Although the auction would usually last for several days, many people felt that it would be difficult for any treasure in the future to cause such a boiling scene as today.

Mu Qing was not interested in this. After taking the spirit stones, he quickly exchanged them for some Yang Yuan Dan and continued practicing.
