Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 160 Mystery of Myriad Grass Auction
"Is it……"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and he said:

"Since it's such a grand event, I shouldn't miss it, so let's go with you."

Since Haihe Daoist will also go, there is nothing to worry about.

When he arrived at Tianbao Building, he would stay with Master Haihe, and his safety could still be guaranteed.

The biggest problem is nothing more than exposing the identity of the practitioner of "Wanhuadutianzhenjing", but in terms of his current strength and status, there is actually no need to worry too much.

"That's a good feeling."

Hearing the words first, Peng Yue immediately laughed and agreed.

After everyone made an appointment for a departure time, Zhang Yao opened the treasury and exchanged for the rare treasures and treasures they needed.

After Lao Peng and others left, Zhang Yao sat in the cave, took out several storage bags, and began to count them one by one:

"I should also tidy up my things..."

Over the years, he has more and more things on his body, and he has more than one storage bag with him.

Especially after taking over the power of the GCC, some spirit weapons and trophies were sold through the channel of their own chamber of commerce, and a lot of elixir and treasures were purchased.

In addition, many precious treasures on the treasury list are actually placed in his storage bag, which makes the space even more insufficient.

"Ok?"

After Zhang Yao counted for a while, he suddenly found something, he was stunned for a moment, showing a strange look:
"I almost forgot... There is a big living person in this most rarely used storage bag!"

With a thought, a figure appeared out of thin air on the ground of the cave.

A solid figure bound by a silver-gray slender rope, lying on the ground, without breathing or heartbeat, like a clay statue.

This is exactly Feng Dujuan who was robbed of black jade veins back then and was tied up with life and death ropes after being defeated and captured alive by Zhang Yao himself.

More than three years have passed:

Feng Dujuan was still in a state of half-life and half-death. Although Shouyuan had actually passed away, her thoughts were completely frozen at the moment of fainting.

Under the effect of the life-death cable, no matter how long she wakes up, only a short moment has passed in her consciousness and memory.

"This woman is quite unlucky..."

Zhang Yao glanced at Feng Dujuan who was on the ground, his expression slightly moved.

This woman was the fuse that led to the intensification of the conflict between the Independence League and the GCC, and finally led the situation to a development direction that no one could have imagined.

If it hadn't been for the fact that she was captured for stealing ore veins, there would be no such thing as Dubu Daoist convening many foundation-builders to openly challenge the GCC.

If that was the case, it would be difficult for Haihe Daoist's spies to detect Dubu Daoist's abnormal mind. Maybe just a few days later, everything will be different.

But there are no ifs in the world. The first battle of the Shuifu raid completely changed the situation in Fangzhou and Kangzhou, and also changed the fate of many people.

It's just that the 'culprit' of all this has been forgotten by almost everyone, even Zhang Yao almost forgot about this person.

"I don't know how she feels when she wakes up and finds that the Feng family is gone, the Dubu League has collapsed, and even the Dubu Taoist is dead..."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao smiled, but he didn't really wake up this person's mind.

"Just right, let me experiment with the soul-searching secret method!"

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Feng Dujuan's body, grasped her head with five fingers, and performed the secret method of searching for souls.

In the past three years, through the channels of the Haihe Chamber of Commerce, he finally collected a relatively good soul-searching secret method. He has already practiced it very proficiently, but he hasn't had the chance to try it yet.

"Bah!"

The tyrannical divine thoughts pierced Feng Dujuan's soul, breaking through an invisible barrier, and penetrated into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Under the power of the life-and-death cable, Feng Dujuan, who was in a state of half-life and half-dead, had no ability to resist at all, and all the memories were pried out, waiting to be read like pages of a book.

"Well……"

Zhang Yao browsed for a long time, and suddenly his expression changed, and he found an interesting scene:
"This woman turned out to be someone's mistress..."

Feng Dujuan is very old, which can be seen from her appearance.

But about 80 years ago, when Feng Dujuan was still a Qi-refining monk, she was very beautiful, and made a fortune by being a concubine of a foundation-building monk and selling her luster.

And Zhang Yao had just heard of the name of that Foundation Establishment cultivator—Taoist Wanhe.

When he was still hanging out in Li country, he had heard of the reputation of this Wanhe Taoist, but he died of old age before he went to Li country, and the Wanhe League he created fell apart.

"As expected, Daoist Wanhe was also from Dali."

"I don't know who I offended, so I ran to Li Guo and other poor villages..."

Zhang Yao sighed, not surprised.

The foundation-builder monks in small countries such as Wei, Li, and Cang often practiced difficult and poor.

Some are dragged down by sects and aristocratic families, and it is difficult to leave their homeland; but some casual cultivators have clearly established their foundations, but they are still willing to stay in small countries, so there are probably problems with their origins.

A typical example of this is the Sunset Leader of the Wei Kingdom, who is a remnant of the Pingdu Gate. He dared not come to Dali to cultivate in the Immortal Realm, so he could only hide in the Wei Kingdom.

"Ok?"

Zhang Yao continued to flip through her memories, and soon his eyes were fixed.

In Feng Dujuan's memory, Daoist Wanhe was a rather mysterious figure with unclear origins, and suddenly disappeared one day for no reason.

After she built the foundation by relying on the legacy of Taoist Wanhe, she inquired about it intentionally, and found out that Taoist Wanhe's identity as a demon cultivator was exposed, and she had to flee and leave Dali, where she never disappeared.

"Daoist Wanhe is a demon cultivator?!"

Zhang Yao's expression moved slightly, and thoughts surged in his heart.

Since Taoist Wanhe is a demon cultivator, the chances of him leaving the blood of the water attribute demon race are not small.

And even if he didn't, he himself is a strong man in the late stage of foundation establishment, and the wealth he has accumulated in his life should not be underestimated, so it is worth his trip.

"I almost forgot about this!"

"When I was in Li Country, it was because the foundation building of the Li family asked me to refer to the incomplete formation map of the second rank, which forced me to go far away."

"And the source of the incomplete map in the hands of the Li family in Mang Mountain is likely to be Taoist Wanhe's cave!"

Zhang Yao thought to himself:

"I don't know if the Li family succeeded after all these years."

"But even if it really falls into their hands, I can still find a way to get it..."

When he thought of this, he showed a smile, let go and withdrew the soul searching secret method, and glanced at Feng Dujuan who was paralyzed on the ground.

"I didn't expect that you brought me a pleasant surprise."

With a wave of his sleeve, he put Feng Dujuan away again, and did not kill her rashly.

In most cases, a living person is more useful than a dead person, especially if it is a Foundation Establishment Daoist, no matter how bad it is, it can be kept for future experiments.

…………

three days later.

Zhang Yao led many foundation-builders from the GCC to the Tianbaolou headquarters in Qianzhou.

Before leaving, everyone had a discussion, and in the end Duan Duzi took the initiative to stand up and shoulder the important task of staying behind in the main altar.

After flying all the way for two days, the crowd traveled across half of Dali and finally arrived at the headquarters of Tianbao Building.

Looking from a distance, the towering giant pavilions stand majestically like pillars of heaven, and the dense light is like rainbows of different colors, rendering the sky colorful.

"Rumble..."

Thousands of lights came and went, and the roar caused by the wind and air flow could be clearly seen hundreds of miles away.

"It's really spectacular."

Zhang Yao sighed in admiration, and together with Peng Yuexian, Cang'er Taoist and others, they rode the escape light and approached.

After approaching the Tianbao Tower, the aura and spiritual pressure of Master Zhuji swayed far away, and many escaping lights immediately avoided, watching several escaping lights pass by in awe.

"boom!"

A few rays of light descended and landed on the first floor in the middle.

The headquarters of Tianbao Building is hundreds of feet high, with 360 five floors, and the first two hundred floors have independent entrances and exits.

The higher the floor, the more high-end and more expensive things are sold, and the level of reception is also constantly improving.

Zhang Yao's escape fell on the [-]th floor, which is also the highest floor that Tianbao Building headquarters allows public access to.

"Meet all the real people."

After the few people escaped from the light, immediately a maidservant in Tsing Yi stepped forward to greet her with a very respectful attitude.

"All real people please come with me."

She led Zhang Yao and the others into the floor, and immediately attracted many curious, awed, and probing eyes.

Each floor of Tianbao Building headquarters is very large, and the [-]th floor is divided into many compartments, but the outer corridor is still full of people coming and going, very lively.

Before she led the crowd a few steps, the floor manager on the [-]th floor hurried over and sent her away.

"It turned out to be the Qingxu leader of the GCC, Zhenren Peng, Fairy Lichen..."

The floor steward took a look at everyone, and immediately opened his mouth respectfully, saluting one by one.

Zhang Yao stared, then smiled and said:
"Tianbaolou has a heart."

They did not conceal their identities or change their appearances, and with Tianbaolou's means, it was not difficult to collect public information such as the appearance and portraits of Zhuji real people.

However, the management of a single floor can record the specific information such as the body, description and appearance of hundreds of people who established the foundation exactly. Obviously, Tianbao Building has a very good training method in terms of receiving people and things.

"It should not be praised by the leader of Qingxu."

The floor steward showed a respectful smile, and asked tentatively:

"All the real people are here to participate in the big auction, right?"

"Of course."

Peng Yue responded first, and said repeatedly:
"Hurry up and report and find someone to arrange a place for us to live."

He has come to participate in the big auction many times, and he is naturally familiar with various procedures.

Generally speaking, before the start of the big auction, foundation-establishing real people from various places will gather here, and various Taoism exchange meetings, small fairs and auctions will also be held during this period.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators who are cash-strapped and want to take pictures of treasures will also sell treasures in exchange for spirit stones at this time, so such activities have always been very popular.

"Okay, all real people, please follow me."

The floor manager didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly led everyone to a higher floor, and sent an urgent message to the upper floor.

Soon, a foundation-building chief of Tianbao Building hurried over, took over the job of the floor manager, and led everyone to the upper floors of the main building.

"Buzz..."

Amidst the humming and vibration, the pale golden car went upwards, piercing through the sea of ​​clouds at a rapid speed.

"This thing is really like an elevator. It seems that in the world of cultivating immortals, there are also extraordinary ideas."

Zhang Yao commented in amazement.

Flying escape is forbidden in Tianbao Building, but the floor is too high, and it is too slow to rely on two legs alone, so someone specially set up this large magic weapon like an elevator.

"That's right, fellow Taoist."

Zhang Yao suddenly opened his mouth and asked the Foundation Establishment Master next to him:
"Has Haihe Daoist from the Overseas Sect come?"

"Really Haihe? He came here two days ago."

The chief of the foundation said, showing a smile, and said:

"You are the current leader of the GCC, and you must have an inseparable relationship with the real GCC."

"If you want to visit him, he lives in Room 320, Tianzi, on the fifth floor of [-]."

Hearing this, Zhang Yao waved his hands and said:
"I really want to visit him, but can you trouble fellow daoist to arrange my room with Master Haihe?"

"This……"

The foundation master hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"That's not a problem, but the room next to Master Haihe is full of people, we can only arrange you on the same floor, as close to him as possible."

As he said that, he looked at Peng Yuexian, Taoist Canger and others, showing a trace of apology:
"However, only you can live on the fifth floor of 320."

"The rest of the fellow daoists of the GCC can only be arranged on the lower floors. Please don't blame the master Qingxu and fellow daoists..."

"It's okay, the guest can do as he pleases."

When Peng Yuexian and others heard the words, they immediately waved their hands to show that they didn't care.

The cultivation world also pays attention to superiority and inferiority, and they have long been used to it. In the past, they participated in big auctions with Master Haihe, which was also the arrangement.

The 320th and fifth floor is the highest floor open to the outside world in Tianbao Building, and the upper level is the place where only the internal members of Tianbao Building can go.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this."

Zhang Yao also nodded.

Since Lao Peng and others didn't say anything, he certainly wouldn't object.

After a while, the group bid farewell in the car, and Zhang Yao was personally led by another Foundation Establishment Master of Tianbao Building to the 320th floor.

"This Tianzi No. 17 room belongs to you."

The chief builder said, and handed out a formation card.

"Okay, thank you fellow daoist."

Zhang Yao took it along the way, thanked him casually, channeled his spiritual thoughts and mana, and refined the card talisman in his hand.

"Buzz!"

At the moment of refining, the white jade gate in front of him shook slightly, and the faint white light turned into blue light, indicating that someone had already moved in.

"Master Qingxu, please feel free to call the attendant if you need anything."

After the head of Foundation Establishment spoke with a smile, he left politely.

Zhang Yao withdrew his gaze, mana crossed into the card talisman in his hand, the blue light in front of him dissipated, and the jade gate opened silently.

He went into the room and walked around, boiled water with the small ritual vessel he brought, and brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

"Well, the quality of this spiritual tea is not bad..."

After Zhang Yao finished his cup of tea, he leisurely got up and left the room to visit Master Haihe.
