Chapter 32
Ning Xu followed the masters of the North and South Peaks to find the person in charge of the auction house. The person in charge will act as a matchmaker between the buyer and the seller. Without this middleman, Ningxu would definitely not be able to find a seller.
As she walked, she asked the melon-eating system in her mind, "What reason can I use to see him later?"
Although buyers can contact sellers privately in advance, sellers also have the right to refuse. You can't meet the seller whenever you want. If everyone wants to talk to the seller privately, wouldn’t everything be a mess?
Generally speaking, only by giving enough chips or sufficient reasons can you successfully meet the seller.
Hearing this, the melon-eating system casually said, "Just tell me that you know that his 36th concubine fled to the north with her adulterer. Where exactly did she escape to? Let's talk about it in person." 】
Ning Xu, "!!!"
Just a few dozen words contain a huge amount of information.
Ning Xu was about to ask something else when she and the masters of the North and South Peaks had already reached the top floor of the auction building.
The two waiters at the door saw them and came forward to ask, "Is there anything I can do for you, fellow Taoists?"
The leaders of the North and South Peaks stated their purpose directly, "We are here to find your person in charge."
"Please wait a moment while I ask."
Soon, the closed door in front of them opened and the waiter disappeared inside.
Five minutes later, the waiter appeared again and said respectfully, "Please follow me, both of you."
The tightly closed door opened again. Ning Xu followed the waiter and walked slowly inside.
As soon as she walked in, the interior of the room was quickly within her sight. The decoration here was as luxurious as she had imagined. Compared with this place, the auction building lobby open to the public was nothing.
Outside, priceless treasures were piled up in an orderly manner on the ground. The air was filled with the fragrance of Penglai tea, which could only be purchased for one or two ounces with tens of thousands of spirit stones. The spirit stones were treated as night pearls, emitting a blue fluorescence that illuminated the entire room.
Because of the unique luster of the spirit stone, the room was filled with blue light, and Ning Xu thought for a moment that he had arrived at the bottom of the sea.
Deep blue, quiet and mysterious.
What a special aesthetic.
In such an atmosphere, the person in charge of the auction house stepped out from behind a double-sided embroidered screen.
She obviously knew the heads of the North and South Peaks. When she saw the newcomer, she smiled and asked, "Peak Head Chong, do you want to talk to me about something?"
The head of the North and South Peaks didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I need help to find the seller of the Soul-Restoring Pill at the auction. Please help introduce me to him."
When the woman heard about the soul-restoring pill, her expression changed slightly. The news in the building was leaked...
This is the most important lot of the day.
However, she did not ask where the masters of the North and South Peaks got the information from.
When you are in the world of cultivation, never underestimate anyone.
Because you never know what cards or ways he/she may have.
The woman smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm afraid not."
The head of the North and South Peaks asked, "Why?"
"The seller specifically said he would not meet anyone privately."
Hearing this, the head of the North and South Peaks looked at Ning Xu and shrugged slightly, indicating that he could do nothing to help.
At this time, Ning Shu coughed lightly, and in front of the auction house manager and the heads of the North and South Peaks, he slowly said, "Just tell him that I know his 36th concubine ran away with someone to the north. Let's talk about where she went in person."
Person in charge: …
She looked at Ning Xu carefully and found that she didn't seem to be joking.
She hesitated a little, "This..."
Seeing that the person in charge had not taken any action, Ning Xu asked, "Can't you even pass on a message?"
The person in charge said, “That’s not the case.”
"Then just tell him the message."
After a while, the person in charge compromised and said, "Okay, I'll try. You wait a moment." Saying that the thirty-sixth concubine ran away with someone, would this really not annoy the seller?
But this is the business of the Wenxin Sect and has nothing to do with their auction building.
It's just a small matter of passing on a message, it's okay.
The person in charge went behind the screen again, probably to contact the seller.
After there were no outsiders in the room, Ning Xu and the two poor masters of the North and South Peaks began to look at the treasures in the room.
Ning Xu is not poor. She currently has 850,000 high-quality spirit stones on her. However, these spirit stones will soon leave her storage bag.
While marveling at these priceless items, she said to the melon-eating system, "I revealed a lot of things in front of the masters of the North and South Peaks." For example, how did she know that there would be an auction of eighth-grade elixirs today? For example, how does she know what wording to use to attract sellers?
The melon-eating system said casually, [It's okay. He himself is not a son of destiny, but he should at least know what a daughter of destiny looks like. 】
Ning Shu: “???”
"Am I a girl of luck in his eyes?"
The melon-eating system asked back, [What else? As long as you are the daughter of luck, then all the things you know can be explained. And it is only natural that you were able to pick up the Yin-Yang Mirror. 】
[He must be aware that one cannot use ordinary people's thinking to judge the girl of destiny. 】
[If he can't do it, it's impossible that the girl of luck can't do it too, right? 】
Ning Xu, "That's right." After saying that, she glanced at the masters of the North and South Peaks who had been staying within half a meter of her.
Is the Peak Master afraid that she might be targeted, so he stays so close to her?
While everyone was talking to each other, the person in charge of the auction house came out from behind the screen again.
This time, there was some consideration and scrutiny in the look she gave Ning Xu.
She said, "The seller agreed to meet with you."
I thought that the 36th concubine ran away with someone was just a joke, but I didn't expect it to be the correct code?
You know, the posters all wanted to talk to the seller of the Soul-Restoring Pill in person, but were ruthlessly rejected in the end.
As a result, this outer disciple of the Wenxin Sect accomplished something that their host had failed to do.
So, did the 36th concubine really run away with someone?
Or is this sentence simply a code?
Unfortunately, the person in charge of the auction house was destined not to get an answer.
Ning Shu asked, "Where do we meet?"
The person in charge said, "Here he is. He will be here soon."
Not long after, someone knocked on the door. The next moment, the door opened and a tall male cultivator walked in.
He has white hair that reaches his waist and is styled in a slightly unruly style.
At this time, the person in charge of the auction house had already left on his own initiative to avoid suspicion.
For a moment, the only people in the room were Ning Xu, the masters of the North and South Peaks, and the seller of the Soul-Restoring Pill.
After the sake fairy came in, Ning Xu looked at him calmly. She really wanted to see what the love-brained and poor people in the world of cultivation looked like.
The sake master was wearing ill-fitting robes, with his ankles and wrists exposed. It was obvious that he was indeed poor, otherwise he would not be unable to buy even a suitable vestment.
Although he was poor, he moved calmly and with a certain elegance.
There was no expression on his face, but even so, he looked a bit frivolous when he wasn't smiling.
Ning Xu and the melon-eating system laughed and said, "Is this person really the most powerful cultivator in the world?"
The melon-eating system said without thinking, "The one with the strongest cultivation was the former sake fairy. What does this poor guy have to do with him now?" 】
Ning Shu: ...
The Lord of the North and South Peaks: ...
The sake fairy who just entered the half-meter radius:? ? ?
After hearing these two heart sounds, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
What are these sounds?
Why are you around him?
At this time, Ning Xu continued to ask, "What do you mean? Is there a cultivator stronger than him now?"
The melon-eating system, [Five hundred years ago, he was at the Mahayana stage, and was the undisputed number one in the world of cultivation. Five hundred years later, he is at the Golden Core stage. If you pick out an elder from any big sect, your cultivation level will be higher than his. 】
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, "Golden Core Stage? How come he has only reached this level of cultivation?"
After saying that, she speculated, "Could it be that his love-brain not only made him unable to keep his spirit stones, but also made him unable to keep his cultivation?"
The melon-eating system laughed wildly, [That’s not the case. 】
At this time, the Qingjiuxian had already stopped three steps in front of Ningxu.
His eyes were clear and his pupils were very light in color, somewhat silvery. It matches his hair color.
Perhaps because she knew that the once powerful man in front of her was a love-brained person, Ning Shu did not feel restrained or hesitant at all. She said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, let's sit down and talk."
The sake fairy looked at her and said, "Okay."
At the beginning, the masters of the North and South Peaks nearby felt a little embarrassed.
He was a small cultivator with ordinary talents, so he felt a little uncomfortable facing the man who was once the strongest in the world.
But after knowing that this man who was once the strongest in the world was now only at the Golden Core level, he was left with all kinds of questions in his mind. These questions actually dispelled the feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Like the masters of the North and South Peaks, Ning Xu was also very curious about how this man, who was once the strongest in the world, had ended up in such a state.
She continued to eat melons, "What's wrong with him?"
The melon-eating system was silent for a while and said, "I guess even he himself doesn't know what's going on." For him, his spiritual energy inexplicably began to dissipate ever since he entered the Mahayana stage. 】
Ning Xu intuitively felt that there was some important information in this matter.
She asked, “Do you know what’s going on?”
The melon-eating system chuckled and said, "Of course I know that." 】
Hearing this, the sake fairy's pupils shrank slightly.
However, he was once the strongest cultivator in the world of cultivation, so this slight change in his expression was not noticed by anyone.
Indeed, ever since he entered the Mahayana stage, his spiritual energy had begun to be out of his control.
Five hundred years have passed, and much of the spiritual energy he cultivated has dissipated.
Perhaps before long, his spiritual energy will dissipate and he will become a complete mortal.
By then, he will not have much time left and may pass away in some unknown place one day.
Are you willing?
Naturally, I am unwilling to accept this.
He once stood in a position where everyone looked up to him and was admired by everyone.
Now, no one knows that he is the once famous sake master, and even his new concubine has run away with someone else.
He has been trying to find a way to crack the problem for the past five hundred years, but unfortunately he has never been able to find one.
Today, could there be a turning point in this matter?
Ning Shu asked, "What on earth is going on?"
The melon-eating system clicked its tongue and said, "The reasons are complicated. It's not something you can know now. 】
After saying that, the melon-eating system added another quote from a scumbag, [You should know that I’m doing this for your own good. 】
Ning Xu, "...Okay."
After chatting with the melon-eating system, she looked at the sake fairy in front of her and said, "I know where your thirty-sixth concubine is now."
After knowing that this young Taoist friend had a strange encounter, the Wine Immortal was not surprised. He asked, "What are your conditions?"
"I want to buy your Soul-Restoring Pill for 850,000 high-grade spirit stones."
The sake fairy didn't hesitate and said directly, "Okay."
Ning Xu called the melon-eating system in his mind, "What is the market price of the Soul-Restoring Pill?"
Melon-eating system, [the general transaction price is around 8 million high-quality spirit stones. 】
[But in reality, there are very few eighth-grade soul-restoring pills circulating in the world of cultivation. 】
[Therefore, some cultivators cannot buy it even if they have spirit stones. 】
[If the Soul-Restoring Pill in his hand were put on auction, it would probably fetch a very high price today. 】
Ning Xu, "???"
No, the Soul-Restoring Pill is worth eight million high-quality spirit stones, and the melon-eating system asked her to buy it for eight hundred and fifty thousand?
After she really said she wanted 850,000 to buy it, did Qing Jiu Xian really plan to sell it? They really are one who dares to buy and the other who dares to sell.
Ning Shu said in a gloomy voice, "It seems that the concubine who escaped has a very important place in his heart."
The melon-eating system, [Otherwise, how can you say that he is in love? 】
[He really likes this concubine.] 】
[How can a mundane thing like spiritual stone compare to love? 】
I didn't think it was a big deal at first, but after being described by the melon-eating system, the sake fairy felt awkward:...
