The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 180 The danger hidden in the dark (please subscribe!)
  After noon the next day, the Xu family members brought the guests to the auction venue and asked them to take their seats one by one according to the previously arranged seats.

They don't charge an entrance fee, but it's different for casual cultivators. If they want to enter, they have to pay an entrance fee of ten spiritual stones.

After the meeting ended yesterday, Xu Zhiyu and others spread the news to the casual cultivators that there would be an auction for the Foundation Establishment Pill today.

So today there are five thousand casual cultivators gathered around the auction venue. Basically all the casual cultivators in the city are here. There are still many who have been notified by their relatives and friends and are on their way back and forth as fast as they can.

In order to maximize the publicity effect, the Xu family's auction was also scheduled to start in the afternoon, just to attract more monks. The effect is still good.

There are only about 1,500 seats arranged in the hall on the first floor of the venue. With so many monks, it is definitely impossible for them all to enter, so the originally negotiated entrance fee of five spiritual stones was a bit too low, and ten spiritual stones were temporarily mentioned.

Even this could not stop the enthusiasm of the casual cultivators. In less than an hour, they occupied more than half of the hall on the first floor.

Xu Zhiyu did not participate in today's auction. Xu Zhengji was in charge of the auction. Xu Zhikai was responsible for arranging the auction of spiritual objects, collecting and delivering the auctioned spiritual objects, and settling the spiritual stones. Xu Zhifeng was responsible for the security guard at the gate of Fangshi. Although there was little chance that someone would come looking for trouble. Big, but you have to guard against it!

He is mainly responsible for the internal security issues of Fang City today. With so many casual cultivators pouring into Fang City at once, it is inevitable that trouble will occur. Although some people participated in the auction, they are still a minority. Most of them are in Fang City. Wander around the city.

The Xu family has also made arrangements for this issue. The casual cultivator market was opened early this morning. Many casual cultivators have already set up stalls there, which also attracted the attention of many casual cultivators who did not participate in the auction.

After watching the casual cultivators surrounding the auction venue leave in twos and threes, Xu Zhiyu also moved to the casual cultivator market, which was the key target of surveillance today.

Of course, it is unrealistic for such a large city to count on Xu Zhiyu alone, so there are many family members for him to dispatch, each of whom is responsible for an area.

As for Xu Shengxiao, he went to the red copper mine last night. On the one hand, he was worried because the mine was unattended, and on the other hand, he still didn’t quite understand the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill. He couldn’t see the heart. No worries!

The casual cultivator market is still noisy, with bids, counteroffers, and quarrels. If it were placed in Biejiafang City in the past, Xu Zhiyu would have thought it was too noisy, but now that he hears it, it does feel so cordial.

Whenever he passed an area, the sound there would suddenly drop, as if he was afraid of disturbing him, so after walking around the market, he came to a ring in the center of the square prepared for the subsequent fighting competition. Standing condescendingly, he took in most of the casual cultivator market and looked back and forth.

Not to mention that Xu Zhiyu was safe here, but in the private room on the second floor of the newly opened restaurant of the Xu family, two monks who appeared to be in the late stage of Qi training were whispering secretly.

"Brother Ma, in your opinion, can the Xu Family's Xinfang City be the first target of our Holy Cult in Jincheng Mansion?"

Hearing the question from the man next to him, the monk surnamed Ma frowned, glanced outside the box, and said in a deep voice:
  "Brother Ren, didn't I tell you? Don't discuss this matter in public, especially in this restaurant owned by the Xu family!"

The man surnamed Ren obviously disapproved of it. After giving the monk surnamed Ma another glass of spiritual wine, he said with a smile:

"Brother Ma, don't be too nervous. After I came in, I scanned it with my spiritual consciousness. The people here are all qi-training monks from the Xu family. Don't worry. In addition, with our Zifu cultivation, in this small Xiaofang City It’s not easy to come and go here!”

The monk surnamed Ma clinked glasses with him, drank up the spirit wine, put down the glass and said:

"We can't be careless. If our negligence destroys the Holy Religion's plan, then"

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something terrible, and shuddered unconsciously. He took the spirit wine pot and poured himself another glass of wine.

The man surnamed Ren was obviously more courageous. He did not answer the question and continued:

"Brother Ma, you haven't answered my question yet?"

The monk surnamed Ma shook his head and said:

"To talk about what we have observed before, I think we can choose this place. The Xu family's Taoyuanfang City is only built on the second-level spiritual veins. Although it has third-level low-level formation protection, it cannot withstand a few Zifu monks. s attack."

"In addition, Xu Deming, the only Zifu monk in the Xu family, will definitely not stay here permanently. It will be even easier to take action then."

After drinking a glass of wine, he continued: "But yesterday, you didn't see the four Zifu monks who came with Xu Deming. One of them posed a fatal threat to me. I think Xujiafang City is still suitable as a city. Our target?"

The monk surnamed Ren on the opposite side still didn't take it seriously and continued:
  "Those are the people who came to attend the ceremony to congratulate them. They will leave in a few days, and they will not stay in Fangshi forever. Brother Ma, what are you afraid of?"

The monk surnamed Ma shook his head and said:

"Yesterday, I was worried that you would be exposed, so I asked you to come back first, so you don't know the true identity of those people. The leading monk who made me feel threatened is Lin Yishan, the shopkeeper of Dahefang City in Taiyang Tower, and there is another It’s from the Baiyi Sect.”

"And do you know how heavy the gift Taiyang Tower gave the Xu family yesterday is? It's not worth less than two million spirit stones. Do you think the Xu family is really as simple as it seems?"

The monk surnamed Ren automatically ignored the monks from the Baiyi Sect, but focused on Taiyang Tower.

"Are you saying that Taiyang Tower not only came, but also sent expensive gifts?"

Seeing that he finally became serious, the man named Ma nodded and confirmed again.

"This is going to be difficult. I heard my great-grandfather said that this Taiyang Tower is not simple. It is not as harmless as it seems on the surface. As you just said, Taiyang Tower is not just here to congratulate you. Maybe we’ll open a branch here!”

The monk surnamed Ma shrank his pupils when he heard the monk surnamed Ren mention his grandfather. He knew who it was. He was one of the highest levels of the Holy Religion, a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage.

"What Brother Ren said is reasonable. It seems that Xujiafang City is not suitable as our target. Otherwise, it will be easy to scare the snake, so let's leave and find another target. Anyway, there are too many cities like Jincheng Prefecture. , not every house may have Taiyang Tower settled in!”

The monk surnamed Ren drank the last sip of spiritual wine, nodded and said:

"Okay, then let's leave as soon as possible. However, Taiyang Tower's move here is unusually tight. We still need to report this matter to the Holy Religion Headquarters and ask them to pay more attention!"

The one-day Xu family auction ended, and the participating monks slowly dispersed. Xu Deming accompanied Lin Yishan and other Zifu monks to leave. Xu Zhiyu was also invited by Xu Zhikai to the building where the auction was held to take stock of the auction with Xu Zhengji. income.

"The total admission fee is 20,000 spirit stones!"

After hearing the first income reported by Xu Zhikai, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Isn't there only 1,500 seats? Why are there 5,000 more spiritual stones?"

"It's like this, Brother Nineteen, the seats were already full, but the casual cultivators who came later insisted on getting in. After we told them that there were no seats, they said that as long as they could get in, they could stand, so we let them in again. Three hundred people.”

"But that's not right, there are still two thousand spiritual stones left!"

Xu Zhiyu continued to ask, relatives are relatives, wealth is wealth, these things must be understood clearly.

"In addition to Qi-training casual cultivators, there are also foundation-building casual cultivators from nearby counties who heard the news. Ten of them came, and each of them received an entrance fee of two hundred spirit stones!"

"Well, that's right!"

Just listen to Xu Zhikai's continued report:
  "A total of 246 spiritual objects were auctioned this time, and none of them failed to be auctioned. They were all sold at high prices. Among them, there were 220 first-level spiritual objects and 26 second-level spiritual objects. A total of 246 spiritual stones were auctioned. Seven hundred and forty-seven thousand six hundred and fifty low-grade spiritual stones, but the cost is not easy to calculate in a hurry, because many of them are elixirs provided by the ancestors and spiritual objects obtained from the family treasury!"

"Well, I'll put the spirit stone away first, and I'll leave you and Uncle Twenty-nine to worry about the cost calculation!"

"Okay!" They both replied in unison.

The account must be settled clearly. Those who belong to the family must take the spirit stones back and hand them over to the family. The elixirs purchased by the ancestors must also be settled clearly, otherwise it will be a confusing account. Although they all belong to the family, they can This matter still needs to be separated.
