Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 217
In this mountain, the guqin is running and the bells are tinkling.

There are white jade steps as the way, extending to all sides in the mist.

Occasionally, I saw a row of maids in cloud shirts walking back and forth, either to the land of Qushui Songzhu, or to the cliff of the waterfall and moon pool, or to go in and out of the Huage Yuyu.

Zhuo Weizheng and Cao Wei had just walked halfway, when a woman in white orchid robes waving a small fan walked slowly up the mountain. call.

The man smiled and said, but the pearl hairpin and tassels in his hair, or the earrings hanging on his earlobe hardly moved.

"Brother Zhuo, you're here. It may be a long time, Fellow Daoist Yin." The woman smiled.

"I met Fellow Daoist Liu, long time no see." Cao Wei said elegantly.

"Siblings are not in charge of the overall situation in the mountains, but come out here, which senior are they going down to meet?" Zhuo Weizheng asked.

"The real person Xinghua came to visit the uncle in the city yesterday. Just now junior sister Minglan came over and said that the two real people came here from time to time. You are not outsiders, so I won't talk to you about it. Let Zhilan guide you. I You have to go down quickly, so as not to miss the good time to welcome you." The woman ordered.

As soon as the words fell, one of the maidservants behind this person walked out, came to Zhuo Weizheng and Cao Wei and bowed in gratitude, "Seniors, please come with the maid."

"You don't need to call us, go quickly." Zhuo Wei waved his hand.

Then he and Cao Wei followed the maid in light clothes and headed towards the Mingyue Tower built halfway up the mountain.

"Realist Xinghua practiced hard and practiced hard. I've never heard of him going to such a romantic place as Happy Forest before, and I don't know why he came today?" Zhuo Wei was stroking his long beard and said through voice transmission.

"Xu Shi is very quiet and wants to move." Cao Wei also responded via voice transmission.

The two walked slowly, chatting while walking.

After a while, they saw a corner of fangs protruding from the forest not far away under the moonlight.

After approaching, I saw that the roof of the hall was covered with yellow glazed tiles, inlaid with green trimmings, and there was a big bright pearl in the middle, shining like a bright moon.

In front of the hall, the pillars are lined up, and the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate hangs a black gold-threaded nanmu plaque, with three large characters "Mingyue Tower" inscribed on it.

When the two walked in, they saw the sandalwood on the top of the cloud as the beams, the crystal jade as the lamp, the pearl as the curtain, and Fan Jin as the pillar foundation.In a corner of the hall, the lady musician and lady was beating the chime, and the dancers present were dancing with their long sleeves.

And there were already more than ten people seated here.

"Chen Daoyou, Zhao Daoyou, Qiu Daoyou..."

Zhuo Weizheng and Cao Wei greeted everyone in the hall with smiles on their faces before taking their seats.

"I heard that Daoist Yin passed the assessment a few days ago, and I have one more talisman teacher. Such a good thing can't be without wine, everyone!" At the first place, a middle-aged man in a green shirt with loose long hair raised his glass and laughed. road.

Cao Wei stood up holding a bottle, respecting everyone, and said loudly: "Thank you Chen Daoyou for your love. Everyone, Yin is just a late learner in the way of talismans, and I hope you can give me more guidance!"

As soon as the words fell, he drank the wine in the bottle, three glasses in a row!
Everyone also drank a cup together, and then laughed loudly: "You Daoist Yin is huge."

"Young Daoist Yin, please take a seat. Tonight happens to be the feast of Joyful Forest Bliss. Today's first auction is the pair of orphans of Gu Daoyou, and I will congratulate them!" The monk surnamed Chen raised his hand as a signal.

This person's name is Chen Qiuming. Although he looks young, he is already at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and he is an inner disciple of Baihua Valley.

In the way of talismans, this person is already proficient, and he is No. 1 in the circle of talisman masters in Qihua City, and the monks in the temple tonight are also talisman masters.

"Thank you all, but there is no need to spend so much money! Yin has some savings to pay for himself, which is enough." Cao Wei said slowly.

"Daoyou Yin, it's a custom this time, so don't refuse. This time, the cost within five thousand middle-grade spirit stones will be shared among us, and it's not too much." Zhuo Weizheng said with a smile.

He was originally the steward in charge of the assessment of the talisman masters, so taking advantage of this time, he brought Cao Wei to meet everyone.

Now besides Cao Wei, there are 17 talisman masters in Mingyue Tower, and it is only [-] middle-grade spirit stones distributed to each of them.

"Then Yin, thank you all." Cao Wei got up and drank three bottles in a row.

All of a sudden, everyone feasted and drank, drinking and drinking.

After drinking for three rounds, when the faces of more than ten people in the hall were slightly intoxicated, suddenly a clear and beautiful voice came to everyone's ears.

"Welcome fellow daoists to come to the Happy Forest. Tonight's Bliss Banquet is the first auction of the Xuangu Jade Girl Twins. They are all in the middle stage of Qi refining. The starting price is two thousand middle-grade spirit stones, and the price starts from one hundred middle-grade spirit stones each time."

The spiritual stones needed by monks with three spiritual root qualifications to cultivate to the middle stage of Qi refining are about the same as a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones, and because two are being auctioned at the same time, this reserve price was set.

However, if it is the cultivated cauldron, the price will naturally be higher.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a monk somewhere had already bid [-], and his voice spread throughout the mountain along with the formation.

And this voice was processed by the array, even Zhuo Weizheng, who had been in the city for decades, couldn't recognize who it was.

Chen Qiuming glanced at Cao Wei, and then casually shouted: "Three thousand."

Immediately thereafter, there were bids for "three thousand five", "four thousand", "four thousand one hundred", "4000 two hundred".

The further you go to the back, the closer you are to the actual price that everyone defaults to, the smaller the bid will be.

At this time, Chen Qiuming said again: "Four thousand five hundred."

Then he raised his glass to Cao Wei and said with a smile: "That vulgar man Hong Dacai uttered cruel words, biting fellow Daoist Yin and insisting that he would buy the pair of pearls that Fellow Daoist Gu left behind and throw them into the market. , to serve those traffickers and pawns of all kinds."

As soon as the words were finished, the monk's loud laughter spread to everyone's ears along with the formation.

After the laughter subsided, I heard this person say: "Hong bid five thousand, I don't know which fellow Taoist made the price just now, can you give me Hong some face."

"Six thousand. Who is Yin Moudao? He turned out to be a shameless villain who sold his daughters for glory. Do you still have any face?" Cao Wei said in a flat tone.

After a few interest, no one else bid.

At this time, the auctioneer said via voice transmission: "Which fellow daoist bidder? Now start counting down, five, four..."

"Six thousand one hundred!" Hong Dacai said via voice transmission.

When Chen Qiuming saw that Cao Wei wanted to bid again, he raised his hand to signal, and then said with a smile: "Six thousand five hundred, Hong Dacai, if you can't afford the price, then don't talk, of course you can also beg your old father-in-law. "

As soon as the words fell, the people scattered all over the mountain burst into laughter.

Then Chen Qiuming said to everyone: "The part of the auction that exceeds [-] spirit stones can only be sold by Chen alone."

"Chen Daoyou, this can't be done, Yin is convinced." Cao Wei said.

Hearing this, Chen Qiuming shook his head with a smile, and said, "Rather than refuse again, Daoist Yin, you might as well toast me and wait for a drink. Everything will be in the wine."

In another place named 'Wuyun Building', Hong Dacai looked at the other people in the hall who were holding back their smiles, and said angrily: "Qiqian, it seems that Chen Daoyou wants to stand up for Yin Chun. If this is the case, then Hong will To give you a face, if the price is higher than this price, then I will give up."

The sound flowed with the formation and spread to everyone's ears.

As soon as the words were said, someone in the hall frowned and said: "Friend Daoist Hong, six thousand is a high price for two cauldron furnaces in the mid-stage of Qi refining, and seven thousand is really worthless, so don't engage in disputes!"

Chen Qiuming in the 'Mingyue Tower' raised his glass and said slowly: "Seven thousand one hundred."

As soon as the price came out, other foundation cultivators in the mountain praised him for his righteousness, and he was worthy of being the leader of the talisman masters in the city.

However, before everyone praised him a few times, an old voice came out: "Hundreds of high-grade spirit stones, I hope all the talented people will give me face."

After saying this, the real person coughed a few times.

"Let's take a picture." Real Qihua said via voice transmission.

For a while, everyone was silent.

The auctioneer sounded a gong without hesitation, which meant that the first auction item had already been owned.

In a stone pavilion on the top of the mountain, an old man in common clothes with gray hair on his temples was covering his mouth with his hands and coughing, while opposite him a woman in a palace dress was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and the two sat opposite each other.

A young man in brocade clothes was serving tea and water for the two of them.

"Fellow Daoist did not hesitate to come here from hundreds of thousands of miles just for these two juniors? All you need to do is send a message to Fellow Daoist, and I will take care of it." Daoist Qihua said.

"Of course it's not just for them. It's just looking at the faces and birth dates of the two of them. Ke Wang, the grandson, bought it to be a maid." Xinghua real person looked at the two girls with almost the same appearance outside the pavilion, and said slowly .

"I forgot that Fellow Daoist Xinghua has extraordinary attainments in the way of counting easily!" Daoist Qihua said with a smile on his face.

"It's easy to count, and I've only scratched the surface of Yin and Yang's good fortune." Xinghua said.

And in Mingyue Building, when Chen Qiuming heard the words of the two real people, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "Friend Daoist Yin, I'm sorry."

"This is none of Daoyou Chen's business. Now that the real person has come forward, how can we fight? The two nieces of Yin are able to get into the real person's eyes, it is their good fortune." Cao Wei said with a normal expression.

The Foundation Establishment monks in various places in the mountain also talked with each other.

"Everyone, take a break for a while. We will start auctioning the second item later, sapphire and stone gallbladder for three renminbi." The auctioneer said.

Once this person finished speaking, he stopped talking.

Cao Wei and other talisman masters exchanged glasses while watching the beauty dance.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, with the sound of a gong, the auctioneer said again: "The sapphire gallbladder is three yuan, the base price is [-] middle-grade spirit stones, and the price starts from [-] middle-grade spirit stones each time. This thing is a rare water-type spiritual thing, nourishing kidney water, please bid, after this village, there will be no such shop."

"One thousand pieces." Zhuo Weizheng couldn't help but said.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall laughed and stood up, with quite meaningful expressions.

Seeing this, Zhuo Weizheng coughed a few times, and then explained in a deep voice: "This old man has a friend..."

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, let me understand. This thing is entrusted to you by the other party." Chen Qiuming said with a smile.

"I also understand." Cao Wei and everyone said in unison.

"You young people, if you reach my age, you may not be as good as the old man." Zhuo Weizheng said.

"It's because Daoist Zhuo consumed too much energy, otherwise, with the method of seven losses and eight benefits you practiced, you would definitely not be depleted to the point where you are now, but you need Chen to draw a solid essence talisman to maintain kidney water ?” Chen Qiuming laughed.

"This is the best. Recently, the juniors in the family have sent more than a hundred beauties. The old man is really exhausted. But fortunately, I have given twelve to Fellow Daoist Yin, and the pressure has been relieved a lot." Zhuo Weizheng said with a sigh .

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, Zhao has also recruited a group of beauties recently, why don't you exchange them with me?" A middle-aged monk asked with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, other monks also talked about their concubines, and they exchanged each other.

At this time, the three-coin sapphire gallbladder had been pushed to the price of [-] middle-grade spirit stones.

"850 pieces." Zhuo Weizheng said without hesitation.

As soon as this price came out, it was already higher than the expected price of the hundreds of foundation-building monks present, so after the auctioneer asked a few times, seeing no one was asking for a price, he began to count down five breaths, and then a gong fell.

After a while, a maid in a cloud shirt came over with a jade tray in both hands, and put the brocade box on the tray on Zhuo Wei's main table. The person collected the Lingshi, bowed again, and refunded the money out.

"Fellow Daoist Zhuo, please open it quickly. Let me open your eyes. Although Chen doesn't need this thing yet, he should get familiar with it first." Chen Qiuming said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Weizheng feigned anger and snorted coldly, and put the brocade box into the storage bag.

Afterwards, the third and fourth auction items began, which fell into the hands of other monks at prices of [-] and [-] middle-grade spirit stones respectively.

And Cao Wei also took the sixth auction item, which was a 500-year-old Mu Ying, and the final price was four thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

There are two kinds of elixir in this practice world, one of which can be propagated by seeds or branches, and it can be cultivated on a large scale as long as suitable conditions are provided, while the other is derived from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. .

Because the latter is relatively rare, the price of these natural elixir medicines will be higher under the same medicine age.

If it is a rare variety with extraordinary efficacy, the price of a medicinal herb that is a thousand years old is sometimes comparable to a spiritual treasure.

When it came to the ninth item, it was a cauldron furnace from a small clan in the Zhongzhou early stage of foundation establishment. Although the base price was one hundred top-grade spirit stones, it did not persuade the foundation establishment monks present, but instead attracted everyone to bid.

After dozens of rounds of price increases, it was finally bought by a foundation-building cultivator at a high price of [-] high-grade spirit stones, which is already comparable to a second-order late-stage monster.

As time goes by, until the mid-heaven of the moon is approaching the midnight.

This feast of bliss has already auctioned 45 pieces, ranging from five to six hundred middle-grade spirit stones to nearly a thousand top-grade spirit stones.

With such a high price, even Chen Qiuming couldn't help but sigh a little. After all, the monks who can afford such a price are almost all those from aristocratic families.
