Chapter 15 Auction

The greatsword crashed down upon Mingling. No matter how he bravely raised his hands, the golem behind him did the same. It was powerless to stop the sword's downward thrust, crushing him to the ground, his bones and tendons broken. His spiritual power was powerless to resist, and when the smoke and dust cleared, only a pool of blood and mud remained. Everyone was silent. Xu Mobai slowly raised his head to look at Feng Jingluo. Now that she could easily kill those in the Out-of-Body Realm, was there any need for them to enter the forbidden area? Bai Yuge turned around in shock, secretly clenching the blade of her sword. She was already so powerful, he had to be even faster to catch up to her. Jiang Chen stroked his chest to console himself. Fortunately, she was an alchemist, so a lower realm was understandable. Yun Ruchen smiled with relief. As expected of her. The black bird flew back to her hand, and she used the sword as a crutch to support herself. Feng Jingluo staggered slightly, her palm resting on her forehead. It was still a bit of a stretch. Her spiritual power was insufficient for her to fight those in the Out-of-Body Realm, so she could only use the power of the laws to move the heavens and the earth. For her now, it was still too much. He breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back. "Let's go back and eat." On the way back, the cheerful atmosphere faded, the air around them seemed stagnant, their gazes constantly fixed on Feng Jingluo. Finally, Xu Mobai lost his temper and asked. "You... have already reached the Out-of-Body Realm?" Feng Jingluo simply shook his head, saying nothing more. Xu Mobai wisely kept his mouth shut, his meal tasted like chewing wax. The day of the auction soon arrived, and a group of people descended from the mountains to exchange spirit stones. Except for a few evil cultivators hiding in extremely secluded areas, the evil cultivators in the mountains had been virtually wiped out. A large number of cultivators poured into Qinzhou City, many of them wandering the inner city streets. Besides the auction, they also wanted to see Feng Jingluo, the man who was causing such a sensation with his lavish spending. Xu Mobai appeared in the courtyard on time, eagerly waiting for Feng Jingluo to emerge so they could head to the auction house early. Bai Yuge waited at the door, her gaze drooping to her toes in thought, only occasionally glancing at the closed door. Jiang Chen sat bored at the stone table, yawning sleepily. He'd been refining pills for days, hoping to sell more at the auction, exhausted and listless. Yun Ruchen glanced up as the door opened. He straightened from the tree and adjusted his clothes, then, startled by his actions, awkwardly lowered his hand and averted his gaze. "The auction starts tonight, why come so early?" "There are so many people out there hoping to see you, why don't you join in the fun?" Xu Mobai enjoyed watching the action; he loved to have fun. "Boring." After a brief pause, Feng Jingluo noticed Yun Ruchen's tied-up hair. He didn't...

The greatsword crashed down upon Mingling. Even though he bravely raised his hands, and the golem behind him did the same, it was unable to stop the greatsword's downward thrust, crushing him to the point of breaking bones and tendons. His spiritual power was powerless to resist, and when the smoke and dust cleared, only a pool of blood and mud remained.

Everyone was silent. Xu Mobai slowly raised his head and looked at Feng Jingluo. Now that she could easily kill a person in the Out-of-Body Realm, was there any need for them to enter the forbidden area?

Bai Yuge turned around in a daze, secretly clenching her sword. She was already so strong, she needed to be even faster to catch up with her shadow.

Jiang Chen stroked her chest to comfort herself. Fortunately, she was an alchemist, so she could understand that her realm was a little lower.

Yun Ruchen smiled with relief, she was indeed worthy of being her.

The black bird flew back into his hand, and he used the sword as a crutch to support his body. Feng Jingluo shook slightly and held his forehead with his palm.

It was still a bit of a stretch. Her spiritual power wasn't enough to allow her to reach the realm of enlightenment, so she could only use the power of laws to move heaven and earth. For her now, it was still too much of a stretch.

He breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back, "Let's go back and eat."

On the way back, the cheerful atmosphere disappeared, the air around everyone seemed to be stagnant, and their eyes were always vaguely on Feng Jingluo.

In the end, Xu Mobai lost his patience and asked.

"You...have already reached the Out-of-Body State?"

Feng Jingluo just shook his head and said nothing more.

Xu Mobai wisely shut his mouth, the meal tasted like chewing wax.

The day of the auction soon arrived. During this time, a group of people came down from the mountain to exchange spirit stones. Except for some evil cultivators hiding in extremely hidden places, the evil cultivators in the mountains were basically killed.

A large number of cultivators poured into Tanzhou City, and many of them wandered the inner city streets. Apart from the auction, they also wanted to meet Feng Jingluo, who had caused a sensation with his lavish spending.

Xu Mobai appeared in the yard on time, eagerly waiting for Feng Jingluo to come out so that he could go to the auction house early.

Bai Yuge was waiting at the door, his eyes lowered to his toes in thought, only occasionally looking at the closed door.

Jiang Chen sat bored at the stone table, yawning sleepily. He had been refining pills for days, hoping to sell more at the auction, and was exhausted and listless.

Yun Ruchen looked up when the door was pushed open; he stood up from the tree, straightened his clothes, and then realized his behavior. He put down his hand awkwardly and looked away.

"The auction doesn't start until tonight, why are you here so early?"

"There are so many people outside who want to see you, why don't you join in the fun?" Xu Mobai enjoys watching the fun, he loves having fun the most.

“Boring.”

After a brief thought, Feng Jingluo noticed that Yun Ruchen's hair was tied up, and there was no hair covering his face, revealing his full forehead and handsome face, making him look dignified and gentle.

She didn't care about the crowd's gaze, but it was inevitable that Yun Ruchen would hear some rumors.

She said, "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner first, and then go directly to the auction house in the evening."

The streets were indeed bustling with people. Disciples from various sects could be seen gathered together, talking and chatting in obvious sect attire. There were also some cultivators hiding their figures, dressed in ordinary clothes, and hiding behind the crowd, who were keenly noticed by Feng Jingluo.

Since she appeared, Feng Jingluo had been looked at so many times that she frowned. There were even blatant prying glances that made her feel offended, with obvious annoyance showing on her face.

It seems that too many people are paying attention to her.

Jiang Chen came closer and lowered his voice, "I checked and found that someone is selling your portrait in the ghost market. They are generous and powerful. Many people want to replace Yun Ruchen."

She looked like she was enjoying a good show, with her eyebrows raised and a smirk on her face.

Feng Jingluo glanced at her and asked, "Why are you investigating this for no reason?"

"Of course I'm just watching the show!" She said frankly, spreading her palms and pretending to be helpless. "Because of you, there are more cultivators gathered in Qinzhou City than ever before. Feng Jingluo, you're going to be in trouble."

She casually glanced around a few times, and now she was starting to feel annoyed. Feng Jingluo was not a noisy person. In fact, she was so withdrawn that she had no close friends.

In response to the sudden and ulterior attention, she flexed her fingers and secretly prepared to unsheathe the black bird.

Jiang Chen and Xu Mobai didn't know her plan and were still looking forward to the good show that would happen today.

Their destination was once again Mingyuan Tower. The moment they entered, there was a brief moment of silence. Some sipped tea, others picked up food, and all watched them ascend to the second floor.

They were lucky, as there was a room available on the second floor, but it was in a bad position. It was at the very back, with no view and no windows to let in the cool breeze.

As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over and handed them the menu. After they ordered the dishes, the waiter stood in front of them again soon.

He raised his hand and pointed to the seat by the window. A handsome man in a green robe raised his glass to Feng Jingluo.

"Several guests, that guest said he could invite you to eat at the same table."

There was an octagonal table, Feng Jingluo sat at the main seat, Yun Ruchen and Bai Yuge sat on his left and right respectively, while Xu Mobai and Jiang Chen sat opposite Feng Jingluo.

Xu Mobai lowered his voice and gestured quietly under the table, "I bet Bai Yuge will get angry first. One hundred medium-grade spirit stones."

Jiang Chen squinted his eyes and looked Xu Mobai up and down as if he were a fool.

"You say it?" Can't I see that Bai Yuge has clenched his fists and is ready to draw his sword?

Yun Ruchen's gaze passed by Bai Yuge, and he saw the man's face and the confident smile on his lips.

She picked up the tea brought to them by the servant, lowered her head to take a sip, and then raised her eyelids, her black pupils calm and bright.

"Flirting."

The man's face froze, his expression changing several times, and he clenched the teacup tightly. He managed to hold himself back from crushing it.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, holding his cheek and smiling, "The Queen is still bold when scolding people."

Yun Ruchen coughed lightly, holding the teacup, glanced at Feng Jingluo and said nothing.

Bai Yuge waved his hand to signal the servant to leave, and the other people on the second floor who were paying attention to this place leisurely admired the man's annoyed face.

"These men are just dreaming of getting something for nothing." Xu Mobai sneered, and glanced at a few men who were looking over here frequently.

This farce calmed those people down for a while, and Feng Jingluo remained aloof from it. It wasn't that she felt offended, but she didn't want to waste her time on insignificant people.

The food was served, and Xu Mobai couldn't sit still. He ate while muttering, "Have you investigated the finale of this auction?"

Bai Yuge is a man of few words. Although he looked at Xu Mobai, he did not expect this stone sculpture-like figure to cooperate with him.

Feng Jingluo was naturally ignored by him. Yun Ruchen had never left the sect, so he didn't expect him to find out anything.

In the end, Xu Mobai could only look at Jiang Chen, blinking expectantly.

"I heard it's an Earth-grade spiritual treasure, made by a famous weapon refiner."

Xu Mobai stared, and Jiang Chen sneered at him. She didn't want to cooperate with this fool? It's not like she couldn't find out about this little thing.

There are only a handful of weapon refiners who can create earth-level spiritual treasures. Feng Jingluo distracted himself and asked, "Which weapon refiner created this?"

Jiang Chen answered first, "Wen Xuanqing."

A gifted weapon refiner, she had already glimpsed the threshold of the Earth Rank in her youth, and at the age of twenty, she had already refined a low-level Earth Rank spiritual treasure, and decades later, a high-level Earth Rank spiritual treasure. It was also at this time that she disappeared for years in pursuit of the threshold of the Heaven Rank spiritual treasure, searching for a breakthrough.

"Is it her?" Bai Yuge put down his chopsticks and placed his hands on the table. "Hasn't she disappeared for many years?"

Feng Jingluo stroked the chopsticks, and Yun Ruchen noticed that she was distracted.

"The earth-grade spiritual treasure at the auction was her early work, but it is also worth snatching." Jiang Chen said, "Qianbao Pavilion deliberately released the news of this auction, so many people came for the earth-grade spiritual treasure she made." Jiang Chen shrugged. It was a pity that even if she sold all the pills, she probably wouldn't be able to snatch the earth-grade spiritual treasure.

Jiang Chen continued, "In addition to earth-level spiritual treasures, there are also several outstanding items. For example, a spiritual medicine that can regenerate severed limbs, a set of monster bones that can be used to refine weapons, and so on."

She didn't want to compete with those wealthy princes of wealthy clans and the princes of kingdoms for the earth-level spiritual treasure, but she did want to try her best to get that spiritual medicine.

After a few more small talk, the meal was almost finished. Jiang Chen had to rush to Qianbao Pavilion to put the pills up for auction, so the others didn't care about the time and went there early.

Seeing Feng Jingluo coming, Manager Sun hurried out to greet him. He enthusiastically led a few people into the reception room and asked someone to bring hot tea.

"Thanks to you, my friend, most of the evil cultivators in the Qinzhou Mountains have been killed, and Qinzhou City can live a peaceful life for a while." He said with a smile.

"Young man, are you planning to go to Box No. 1 right now and wait for the auction to begin?"

Feng Jingluo shook his head and pointed at Jiang Chen, "She wants to auction the pills she made."

"Oh?" Sun Mingshan exclaimed softly, holding out his hand. "Could you please let me taste it?"

Jiang Chen took out the jade box from the storage ring and placed it in Sun Mingshan's palm.

He put on silk gloves and opened the jade box. Inside the silk nest, there were several round, milky white pills with light golden patterns on the surface.

Sun Mingshan picked it up and sniffed it gently, nodding with satisfaction. "It can't be Young Master Feng's friend. I will put this batch of pills up for auction. I'm sure you can sell it for a good price."

"Thank you very much."

If you put the elixir first, the competition will not be intense at the beginning, and everyone will have extra money to choose some items they like. If you put it at the end, after fighting for the good stuff a few times, there will be no extra spirit stones to grab the elixir.

At this time, Xu Mobai said, "I heard that the princess and prince of Shangyu Kingdom came to Tanzhou City this time?"

Sun Mingshan nodded.

"Then there might be a dispute in the No. 1 Tianzi Room." He had heard that the prince of Shangyu was an arrogant and domineering person who relied on the power of a big country to act without scruples and he loved pomp and circumstance.

"This..." Sun Mingshan looked embarrassed. "I have heard of the prince of Shangyu Kingdom, but Feng Xiaoyou is a distinguished guest of Qianbao Pavilion. No matter which city's pavilion she appears in, she is the well-deserved user of the number one room."
