Immortal, my aptitude is mediocre

Chapter 284 Zhou Xian’s Calamity ([-])

Zhongtian City.

Inspiration is lingering, and the city is very popular. There are many monks in the city, living together with the common people, and there is also a touch of fairy charm in the worldly atmosphere.

When Chen Sheng walked into the city, he was greeted by the bustling sound. He did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt a little excited in his heart. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he walked around leisurely.

"The battle between geniuses? Zhou Xian defeated Shi Shujing."

"With Zhou Xian in Zhongtian City, will the second battle of geniuses break out?"

In the streets and restaurants, chaotic voices floated out, and they were talking about Zhou Xian, the genius of the Guangxiu Immortal Sect. He had defeated the enemy a few days ago and passed through Zhongtian City and stayed behind.

This genius is full of momentum and wants to take a crucial step. He will use the younger generation's enemy as a stepping stone. There will definitely be many struggles in the future.

"I don't care about the fights between juniors."

Chen Sheng entered the world of mortals very freely, as if he didn't care about Zhou Xian. But if he really didn't care, why would he bother to go out and take precautions secretly? All he did was worry about the evil hands like Zhong Zun Taoist and not tell anyone. Wude, just attack the juniors.

"Master Immortal, do you need a guide?"

Under the courtyard wall, a smart young man with clean clothes looked at Chen Sheng for a few seconds and then trotted over.

His name is Tong Yi, a young man in Zhongtian City who is motivated to become a monk, but there is no way, so he becomes a guide, leading the way for new immortal masters, earning money, and taking the curved path of cultivation.

"What's the cost?"

With Chen Sheng's spiritual thoughts, the entire Zhongtian City can be enveloped, overlooking everything, but walking in the mortal world and using too many magical powers, it loses that charm.

Therefore, he asked about the price like an ordinary monk, as if he was a well-managed householder.

"A low-grade spiritual stone in half a day."

Tong Yi replied.

His eyes were bright and full of expectation. He didn't have many low-grade spiritual stones, but most of the monks were in despair and hadn't opened a business for ten days.

"can."

Chen Sheng was confident and nodded with a smile.

"Master Immortal, where are you going, or what are you interested in?"

Tong Yi was very happy. As a young man, he didn't know the feeling of sorrow, and he didn't know that it was difficult for low-level monks to embark on the road of cultivating immortals.

At this time, he was filled with joy because he had earned a low-grade spiritual stone and accumulated more cultivation resources.

"I have nothing to do. I'm going out for a trip. I don't have any big requirements. If I'm interested in anything, it would be spiritual herbs."

Chen Sheng was in Zhongtian City mainly to prevent Zhou Xian from letting other Immortal Sect Jindan masters plot against him and cut off his path. The rest of the plan was not much.

"Is that so..."

Tong Yi pondered for a moment and then suggested: "Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce held an auction with a large standard. It is said that they opened some ancient ruins and obtained many precious objects."

This matter was spread very enthusiastically in Zhongtian City, and I heard that many monks with status and strong cultivation were willing to participate.

"Then go and have a look."

Chen Sheng said flatly.

With his level of cultivation, there are very few things that he can take seriously, but as he said just now, he can just go away if he has nothing to do.

"Master Immortal, I feel you are a big shot."

On the way, Tong Yi saw that Chen Sheng was not indifferent and spoke his mind.

"why?"

Chen Sheng said calmly.

"I can't explain it clearly, but you have a special aura about you. It's very peaceful. When it comes to high-profile auctions, you don't show a trace of restraint. It's very unusual, so I think you are a big shot."

From the first moment he saw Chen Sheng, Tong Yi had a very strong idea to contact this immortal master.

That kind of aura is so special.

He looks for about ten customers every day. Over the past few years, he has visited tens of thousands of people, but none of them have the magnanimity of Chen Sheng.

It's unassuming and plain, but upon closer inspection, you can't help but get closer.

"I'm just an ordinary monk."

Chen Sheng smiled, not boasting about anything, and his mood was extremely indifferent.

Of course, the higher one's cultivation is, the more one understands the vastness of the world, respects nature, and is cautious about not daring to speak loudly for fear of shocking heaven and earth.

……

Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce.

The first two characters are people's names. Putting them in front of the Chamber of Commerce is of great significance.

Xu Hu is the old master of the Xu family. As a casual cultivator, he managed such a large business and founded a family of cultivators. His ability is top-notch.

However, he is old and has stopped doing business. Now it is run by his descendants, but the relationship is still there, so the business is going smoothly.

Chen Sheng paid for a medium-grade spiritual stone and took Tong Yi into the auction.

Such a ticket was too expensive, which surprised Tong Yi. He knew there was a threshold, but he didn't want it to be so high. Fortunately, the patron looked normal, which made him feel at ease.

In his subsequent work, he was more attentive and wanted to make Chen Biology worthwhile.

Because they arrived in a hurry, Chen Sheng did not reveal his identity. The two of them were arranged in a hall, crowded together with many casual cultivators.

Compared with the distinguished guests in the private rooms, they are more likely to come here to broaden their horizons and do not have much purchasing power.

"It's our honor, Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce, for you to come."

In the dark space, at the middle booth, there was a bright light. There was an old man standing there with a sincere smile, and his words gave people a kind of kindness.

"This is the number one auctioneer of the Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce. His real name is unknown, but he has the title of Golden Eye. He can identify real treasures. He is semi-retired. This attendance also proves that the standards of this auction are extremely high."

Tong Yi explained on the side and conveyed the information to Chen Sheng.

"No more nonsense. I think many people are not interested in my old face."

The golden-eyed treasure appraiser didn't have many words. There were many prominent figures in the venue, and his patience was limited, so it was better to get to the point earlier.

He looked at the background, gave a slight gesture, and said: "The first item to be auctioned is a fragment of a scroll. After identification, it is for some kind of secret method. If it is repaired, it will be extremely powerful."

After saying that, a maid was already carrying a jade plate and placing the broken scriptures on the stand.

Under the bright light, the yellowing paper, the sense of vicissitudes of time, becomes more and more intense, which makes people feel cautious for no reason.

"It's not that difficult to complete the incomplete scripture secret method."

Chen Sheng shook his head. These words were full of auction conversation skills. The capable monks looked down on him, but the low-level monks didn't have that ability.

"The starting price for the broken scripture scroll is ten yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones."

After the golden-eyed treasure appraiser warmed up, he went through the process and it was up to the monks to bid.

"I'll give you ten middle-grade spiritual stones."

"plus one."

……

"17 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

There was silence in the private room. It was obvious that those monks with prominent status did not lack such a broken secret technique.

In the casual practice area in the hall, there were several people bidding. They were all old practitioners. They felt that they had extensive knowledge and profound knowledge. They were able to make up for the shortcomings and pick up a powerful secret technique.

In the end, after several rounds of competition, we finally settled on a price and never moved again.

"It's 17 yuan for a medium-grade spiritual stone. Is there anyone with a higher bid?"

The golden-eyed treasure appraiser did not let the atmosphere get colder. Seeing that it was almost done, he decided: "Then...congratulations to this fellow Taoist."

Then, a dedicated person will contact the buyer to complete the transaction.

The Golden Eyed Treasure Appraiser, on the other hand, was conscientious and started the second round of auction, saying: "The second auction item is a screen with a formation inside. It can be placed in the study to block the prying eyes of spiritual thoughts. The starting price is 50 Yuanzhong grade spiritual stone." This screen is carved from jade. In the frame, where the formation is located, the clouds and smoke talismans are outlined very cleverly, giving it a sense of beauty.

Four strong men carried the jade screen and carefully placed it on the stand for everyone to observe and judge.

"Isolating spiritual thoughts? Things come together in secret, this thing is good."

At the auction, there were constant rustling sounds. The style of this jade screen was exquisite and luxurious, but it was also practical, and it immediately became a hit.

"60 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

"70 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

"200 yuan middle-grade spirit stone!"

This round of competition was unexpectedly fierce. The casual cultivators in the hall bid for it, and finally the nobles in the private room above all spoke up to win.

……

The ability of the golden-eyed treasure appraiser is indeed high. Under his auspices, the auction proceeds in an orderly manner with a well-controlled rhythm. From time to time, a fine product is brought out, stimulating the calm atmosphere.

"This patron is just here to kill time."

Tong Yi looked all the way and found that his customer, Chen Sheng, did not bid and was not interested in all the items.

He was sure that this man was not poor. He was calm and relaxed at the huge auction, showing no signs of restraint.

"The auction item No. 15 is a strange ore with hidden secrets. The starting price is 200 yuan for a medium-grade spiritual stone."

Next to the golden-eyed treasure appraiser, there is a piece of ore, the size of two fists, pitch black. Even if the bright light shines on it, there is no sparkle at all. Compared with other exhibits, it looks like a broken stone on the roadside. Inconspicuous.

"This is not a mineral, but a certain kind of fungus spiritual grass. It is spiritually introverted and as hard as iron. It is a second-level black grass."

A trace of interest arose in Chen Sheng's eyes, and he saw that the root of the strange ore was some kind of second-level spiritual grass. Because it was inconspicuous, it was difficult to find. Even alchemists would miss it if they were not focused. Blinded.

"How dare you ask for a starting price of 200 yuan for a medium-grade spiritual stone for an ore of unknown origin?"

"That's not what resentment breeds do."

"It should be a failed auction."

Outsiders don't know how precious the black grass is, so they don't think highly of it. It's really inconspicuous, and the words of the auction are vague, so they obviously can't decide.

"200 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

Listening to the chatter of the cultivators, Chen Sheng smiled and said nothing, breaking the situation where Hei Nuncao was ignored.

"Master, why are you photographing this ore?"

Tong Yi was puzzled, but chose to remain silent. He believed that this customer would never do anything wrong.

"fine……"

There were bids, even at the lowest price, which made the golden-eyed treasure appraiser feel lighter. Even he was afraid that this item would not be sold.

Afterwards, the auction fell silent, and he reminded: "Is there a higher price..."

Speaking of which, he had no expectations. It was already a blessing that the strange ore could be taken away.

"210 middle-grade spirit stones."

Suddenly, a cold voice came out.

"It's the private room above. A nobleman also likes this ore."

The cultivators were surprised and stared at the black grass, trying to see some details, but they were dazzled and saw that it was just a piece of broken stone.

In the end, it can only be summed up as two gamblers who want to bet on a collection with a very small chance of winning.

"220 middle-grade spirit stones."

Chen Sheng was also a little surprised, but there are many capable people in the world, so even if he sees through the black naughty grass, it is normal.

"300 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

In the private room, the noble man was very wealthy. Perhaps he was irritated by being followed, so he raised the price a lot, hoping that Chen Sheng would retreat.

"400 yuan middle-grade spirit stone."

"500 yuan……"

"1000 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones..."

"One thousand and one hundred yuan for middle-grade spirit stones."

Chen Sheng did not retreat, but instead raised the price with the other party, and the first mid-grade spiritual stone in the audience appeared.

This made everyone stunned. The monks in the private room above looked sideways and cast their eyes at Chen Sheng.

It was already surprising that a casual cultivator could randomly take out thousands of middle-grade spiritual stones.

"Master Immortal, the owner of that private room is a legitimate son of the Tian family. Their family has an ancestor who is in the foundation building realm..."

Tong Yi left and came back again. He found out that the owner of the private room was the legitimate son of a wealthy family and was very prestigious.

He was a little worried, but he didn't dare to tell Chen Sheng to stop, so as not to suffer a loss, so he had to remind him secretly.

"It's okay, the one with the highest price gets it."

Chen Sheng had an insight into human nature and saw Tong Yi's worries at a glance, and smiled, very calmly.

Within the rules, he did nothing wrong. Outside the rules, he could re-write the rules, and there would be no problem.

It was obviously an ordinary sentence, but when Tong Yi heard it, his heart suddenly became calmer.

Xu was so calm and had such a strong appeal that he unconsciously let go of his worries.

"Where did this random cultivator from the mountains come from? He came out to show off my face. Did he do it on purpose? Or should we say that he is a trustee of the Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce..."

In a certain private room, the face of a handsome young man was distorted and full of anger. Unexpectedly, there was a casual cultivator competing with him.

Then, he became suspicious of Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce, secretly raised the price, and slaughtered him as a fat sheep.

"Master Tian, ​​how could we do this? Don't worry, let the casual cultivator withdraw now."

After the old man retired, Xu Bo was appointed as the owner of the Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce. He did not want to offend Mr. Tian, ​​who was the most beloved descendant of the ancestor of the Tian Family Foundation Establishment Realm and had a very high status.

This time, he wanted to use Mr. Tian to contact the Tian family’s ancestors at the Foundation Establishment Realm and open up channels for the Chamber of Commerce.

After this incident, it is naturally impossible and must be solved.

"Master, this is against the rules."

The golden eye treasure appraiser learned that the atmosphere of Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce has become worse and worse in recent years.

Sometimes, out of sight and out of mind, he hid and didn't want to host the auction this time, but he still saw it.

"Rules? A casual cultivator and a legitimate son of the Xu family. Which one is more important? Do you need to think about it?"

What responded to him was the indifference of the superior.

then……

"Fellow Taoist, please don't offend the Tian family. Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce will compensate you 100 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones. You can abstain from voting."

A steward of the Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce approached Chen Sheng and spoke politely, but when it came to assigning blame, he was still dismissive.

If the boss doesn't come, he will be sent away with more than a hundred middle-grade spiritual stones.

"Zhou Xian Tianjiao of Guangxiu Immortal Sect encountered an unknown attack, but was repelled."

At the same time, a piece of grand news came from outside the court.

Zhou Xian, the genius, killed a mysterious and powerful man with unparalleled grace. Once it happened, it immediately spread in all directions.

"It's boring..."

Chen Sheng frowned.

His mood was ruined, and he left without looking back, never looking at Xu Hu Chamber of Commerce again.
