Time flies, and a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

This year, Zhao Ning and Zhao Cheng have made rapid progress. Zhao Ning has become a second-order peak healer, and may break through to third-order at any time. Xiao Yuan said that he has very good aptitude, and he has purple jade chalcedony to wash his muscles and bones, and his future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.

The relationship between Lu Mingze and Zhao Ning has also gradually become intimate during this year, but Lu Mingze is troubled, Ah Qing in this life seems to be very dull, always not enlightened.

Just like at this time, Zhao Ning was looking at the spiritual field in front of him, trying to release the spiritual energy for the growing spiritual jade.

The cycle for a spiritual master to plant jade is usually seven days, and Zhao Ning's spiritual seed is at a critical juncture.

After the spiritual energy was released, Lu Mingze, who had been waiting by the side early, rushed up to support Zhao Ning who was a little weak after releasing the spiritual energy.

"How is it? Are you tired?" He wiped the sweat off Zhao Ning's forehead with his sleeve: "I told you a long time ago, don't release all the aura like this. What if there is danger around you?"

A bright smile appeared on Zhao Ning's pale face: "Brother Qu is here, what else am I afraid of?"

The movements of Lu Mingze's hands paused, as if his heart was being scratched by a cat: "Are you enlightened or not?"

Hearing Zhao Ning's voice change again, his mood became depressed: "I originally hoped to plant a third-order spiritual jade before I left, but this time I still failed."

Lu Mingze had no choice but to let go of his small thoughts, and comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, we can still practice when we get to Fengyang."

Zhao Ning leaned against him, nodded docilely, thinking in his heart: I don't know why, but as soon as Brother Qu talked in his ear, he felt something wrong all over.

******

Zhao Ning's last wave of spiritual seeds in Wuling City only produced a second-order spiritual jade, but what is gratifying is that this spiritual jade is of the highest quality, and there is a rare piece of fingernail-sized jade hidden in it. Large chalcedony.

Zhao Ning happily showed the chalcedony to Lu Mingze: "Brother Qu, I have grown chalcedony! This is the first time I have grown chalcedony, and I want to give it to you." The boy's eyes were pure With joy, her face flushed slightly with excitement.

He has been cultivating spiritually for a year, and Lu Mingze has found many rare classics for him to read, so he has a good vision, and he already knows how precious the bottle of purple jade chalcedony that Lu Mingze gave him that day is. After picking up chalcedony, she only wanted to give it to Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingze took this small piece of chalcedony, with unstoppable joy and pride on his face.

There are dozens of bottles of purple chalcedony in Lingyu Pavilion, but the one in his hand is carefully cultivated by someone who cherishes it.

He raised the corners of his lips and looked at Zhao Ning: "I like this gift very much."

Just now Zhao Ning's heart returned to his stomach with some anxiety, but seeing Lu Mingze staring at him closely, there seemed to be many thoughts he didn't understand in his scorching eyes, and his heart was pounding again.

It's really strange, every time I see Big Brother Qu smiling at him, I feel dizzy like after accidentally drinking strong alcohol half a year ago.

******

The next day, everyone packed their new bags and prepared to go to the new map—Fengyang County. This was because Zhao Ning was still thinking about his sister, and the second was because the heroine's cheat was about to appear, and Lu Mingze wanted to snatch it. .

They still got on the sapphire carriage. When they first entered Wuling City, it was this fast sapphire carriage that exposed the extraordinaryness of Lu Mingze and the others, causing the city lord of Wuling to get entangled. According to visual inspection, this carriage Even in Fengyang County, it is still a conspicuous existence.

Because the number one spiritual master in Fengyang County is just the Patriarch of the Xuan family, this person is a fifth-level spiritual master.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yuan slowed down the carriage as he approached Fengyang County.

A group of people arrived in Fengyang County smoothly.

Fengyang City is much larger than Wuling City, and there are more spiritual masters. Several streets in Dongshi City are places for buying and selling spiritual jade. The carriage entered the city and slowed down. Zhao Ning and Zhao Cheng lifted the curtain , looking at the scenery outside intently.

"It's really lively here." Zhao Cheng said.After staying in Wuling City for a year, they also went out for a walk many times. They thought Wuling City was prosperous enough, but they didn't expect that there was a sky beyond the sky.

Lingyu Pavilion is also distributed in Fengyang City. The steward in charge of reception greeted the distant guests tremblingly. As you can imagine, Xiao Yuancai didn't give him a look, and drove into the house again. You found a courtyard and settled down .

The steward was a timid and overthinking person, thinking that he was not considerate in serving him, so he took the initiative to give Xiao Yuan the invitation for the purple box of Jinchi Auction House.

Under the trembling eyes of the manager, Xiao Yuan accepted the invitation, and then handed it over to Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingze carefully sized him up, made sure that he hadn't been pierced, and then said in surprise: "I didn't expect you, A Yuan, to know what I was thinking, really..."

Before he really came out, Xiao Yuan's figure disappeared like a ghost.

Lu Mingze: "..." Is it good or bad to be protected by a seventh-level warrior by my side?

******

Three days later, the Golden Pool Auction Pavilion held a grand auction in Fengyang County. I heard that the finale of this auction was fifth-order chalcedony. The first-order chalcedony is in the bag, and I hope that this fifth-order chalcedony can make the cultivation of the ancestor of the Xuan family go up to a higher level.

With the gimmick of the fifth-order chalcedony, the auction was half done before it was held.

When Lu Mingze brought Zhao Ning, Zhao Cheng, Xiao Yuan and others to the Golden Pool Auction Pavilion, it was the time when there was a huge crowd. Fortunately, no matter when, noble people have some privileges. He took the purple After receiving a senior invitation card, Shi Shiran entered the VIP channel, and was ushered into the box on the third floor under the respectful eyes of the attendants.

"I don't know what treasure is there?" Zhao Cheng asked curiously as soon as he sat down, "They are all grabbing the fifth-grade chalcedony, but is the fifth-grade chalcedony very precious? We have also used the seventh-grade chalcedony. "What he wanted to say in his heart was that when he was promoted to the first rank, he used purple ointment, and his brother also used that thing. Later, his elder brother said that it was seventh rank chalcedony, which was priceless.

It's just that they have used all the seventh-order chalcedony, so isn't there no treasure in this auction that only sells fifth-order chalcedony?

The corner of Xiao Yuan's mouth twitched indiscernibly, who was standing by the side.

Zhao Ning covered his brother's mouth in embarrassment: "You must be careful outside, if someone hears that you have used seventh-grade chalcedony, they will arrest you, and you will never see your brother again."

Zhao Cheng stared wide-eyed, as if he already wanted to be captured by the bad guys and not be able to see his brother, and wrinkled his face bitterly.

Only then did Zhao Ning let go of his mouth.

People gradually took their seats, and the auction finally started.

"See if there's anything you like, and I'll buy it for you." Lu Mingze said.

Zhao Ning shook his head: "No need." He owed Brother Qu too much, and the asking price of the things at the auction must be high, so he couldn't spend Brother Qu's money anymore.

The auction was in full swing, and some more precious things were brought up to enliven the atmosphere, but these treasures were very ordinary in Lu Mingze's eyes, and there were so many treasures in Lingyu Pavilion, which raised his eyesight.

He just kept observing Zhao Ning's face to see if there was anything he liked.

And Zhao Ning didn't seem to show any special interest in those things. Lu Mingze thought again: Anyway, there are better quality ones in the pavilion, so they can order two, so he put down his thoughts on bidding.

until an item arrives.

"This object is called the Flowing Light Clear Water Bracelet, and we found it in the tomb of a seventh-level spiritual master. Although the treasure appraisers have not yet seen the function of this object, how could there be a mortal in the tomb of a seventh-level spiritual master?" For those of us who practice spirituality, how much depends on chance, everyone might as well take a gamble, see this thing is clear in color, and there is faint water flowing in the bracelet, it is really wonderful, my Jinchi Auction Pavilion uses a thousand red jade as Reserve price, please don't miss this possible spirit treasure."

The auctioneer talked for a long time, but he didn't say what the purpose of this bracelet is, and it takes a thousand red jade to buy it.This price is really not high at the auction, but who wants to spend a thousand red jade for nothing like this kind of thing that may be a waste product?

However, there were also children from that big family who did not hesitate to pay a few prices.

"One thousand one hundred rubies!"

"Two hundred rubies for 1000!"

……

"Eighteen hundred rubies!"

The voice gradually died down, and the auctioneer saw that there were no bids, and was about to drop the hammer, when a coquettish voice came from a box on the second floor: "Two thousand rubies!"

In the private room, Zhao Lingxi held her hand tightly.

Xuan Jingran, who was at the side, saw that she seemed to be very concerned about this item, thinking that girls like beautiful jewelry, so he didn't think much about it. Only Zhao Lingxi knew that she was bound to get that item, not because of its quality. shape.

Instead, she faintly felt that there was a big secret hidden in this bracelet.

Didn't it mean that time-traveling girls usually find leaks at auctions?After she traveled through time and space, except for her faster cultivation speed, she hadn't met any real golden fingers so far. God treated Zhao Lingxi so favorably and allowed her to travel through time and space. It definitely didn't mean that she was just an ordinary genius.

I hope no one will rob her. After all, she is only a third-level spiritualist now, and spirituality is a profession that burns money. It costs a lot to buy a magic spell. In addition, she always likes Taobao. The money is shy and stretched.

However, things are generally good and bad spirits.

As soon as Zhao Lingxi finished speaking, a voice as clear as water hitting a stone came from the private room on the third floor: "Three thousand rubies!"

It was Shengsheng who raised the price by a thousand.

A trace of depression flashed through Zhao Lingxi's heart, but then she thought: When those time-traveling heroines bought golden fingers, there always seemed to be one or two cannon fodder scrambling for them, and my heart calmed down again.

However, she only has five thousand red jade in total, and now it seems that she will use it to buy this bracelet.

"Three thousand five hundred red jade!" The price was raised by one thousand at once, and Zhao Lingxi didn't want to be looked down upon by others, so he gritted his teeth and raised it by five hundred.

"Five thousand rubies!" Unexpectedly, this time, the person in the box actually called out such a sky-high price.

Zhao Lingxi gritted her teeth, although she was not reconciled, but she only had five thousand rubies, so there must be no way to increase the price any further.

This group of people is relying on their good backgrounds, so they are so generous. If she is also a daughter of a big family, how can she be held back by a mere five thousand rubies.

Xuan Jingran saw that her expression was unkind, so he guessed that she had no money left, so he said empathetically, "If Lingxi wants to buy it, why don't I lend you five thousand rubies?"

Zhao Lingxi met Xuan Jingran's gentle gaze, and made a pitiful expression: "Then thank you, Second Young Master."

She seemed to be the same as Shi Xiangyun. When she said "two", she always bit her tongue indistinctly, and it sounded like "Master Ai".

Xuan Jingran's eyes flashed, and he ordered his subordinates to take out five thousand red jade.

Zhao Lingxi seemed to have a reliance, and shouted confidently and proudly: "Six thousand rubies!"

The person in the box on the third floor seemed to be competing with her: "Ten thousand rubies!"

Zhao Lingxi was stunned. She borrowed five thousand rubies from Xuan Jingran and only had ten thousand rubies in her hand, but the person opposite seemed to put the price on all her property every time.

She couldn't help but feel aggrieved. Which heroine in the novel is not blessed with luck, even if she encounters a small setback, she will quickly turn the danger into a blessing. She didn't expect that this cannon fodder would be so difficult when it was her turn.

She was thinking about borrowing some more Lingyu from Xuan Jingran, when she heard a young man's voice from a box next door: "Fifteen thousand rubies!"

This voice is so familiar.

Zhao Lingxi searched for the information of this voice in his mind, and after a while, he remembered: This person is the Mr. Jiang whom he rescued a while ago.

Sure enough, all time-traveling women are entitled to benefits. Isn't it because of her that Mr. Jiang did this?

Isn't it the most common drama in time-travel novels to buy the bracelet and give it to the heroine?

In the box on the third floor, Lu Mingze narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Brother Qu, why did you buy that bracelet? Although the bracelet is very beautiful, I don't know what it does." Zhao Ning asked puzzled.

"I don't know why." Lu Mingze pretended to be deep and sighed, "I just think I must get this bracelet."

Zhao Ning half understood: "Is this the legendary intuition?" He shook his head and said, "But that man's asking price is really ruthless."

Lu Mingze is rich and powerful: "What does our family do? Compared with others, no one in Lingyu's family has as many as ours."

Zhao Ning felt a little strange when he heard about our family.

"Twenty thousand rubies!" Lu Mingze continued to bid, wondering again who was the one who raised the price just now.

The hero one two three four, which one is it?

Everyone at the auction was worshiping local tyrants, and it was hard to know what to say for spending so much money on a bracelet that was probably an ornament.

Another sharp-eyed person found a voice coming from the box on the third floor, and he couldn't help but wondered: "The boxes on the third floor are all blue-level and purple-level boxes. In Fengyang County, the head of the Xuan family can only sit in the green-level box. , I don’t know who is the distinguished guest in the box on the third floor? Could it be someone from Lingyu Pavilion?”

This speculation did not interrupt the bidding.

"Thirty thousand rubies!" the strange man shouted

"Forty thousand rubies!" Lu Mingze was not to be outdone.

……

"Eighty thousand rubies!"

"One hundred thousand red jade!" Lu Mingze called out such a sky-high price, thinking at the same time: "In the original plot, how much Lingyu did the heroine spend to buy this bracelet? It seems to be two thousand? The god of law sincerely does not deceive me, The luck of the heroine is really beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Fortunately, the price was called [-], and the man finally stopped bidding.

With great excitement, the auctioneer dropped the hammer: "One hundred thousand red jade once, one hundred thousand red jade twice, one hundred thousand red jade three times, good, deal!"

Probably some people from Lingyu Pavilion took advantage of it, some people thought to themselves.
