The name of the Taoist body is Qinglian!
Qin Ruqing suspected that a pie had fallen from the sky, and the filling of the pie was made by himself.
To be honest, Qin Ruqing was not sure whether the little fat ball broke the hardest thorn on the branch of the Qiangwu. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this matter is definitely not ordinary. It must be treated with caution.
Qin Ruqing asked the system: "Can you tell what kind of physique he has awakened?"
Although he asked this, he thought in his heart that it was probably impossible. The dog system has always been like this. It can roughly feel a person's talent, but it cannot directly know what this person's talent is.
Sure enough, the system said ruthlessly: [No]
Qin Ruqing: Okay.
It seems that I still have to find a way to tell the ancestor about this matter.
Qin Ruqing was so worried that she didn't know that the ancestor was standing in front of the window of the small bamboo building, looking down at them.
The ancestor didn't use her spiritual consciousness to listen to what they were saying. In fact, she was thinking. The extraordinary Taoist body of Qin Ruqing was hard to conceal, which still made the ancestor concerned. The Taoist body that can heal wounds instantly... To be honest, she couldn't think of it.
She had asked people to pay attention to the surroundings before, but, in Nanling County, there were no people with Taoist bodies, let alone find out their types.
Nanling County... is still too small.
But the ancestor is not completely without a solution. Because the Qin family was not the Nanling Qin family at the beginning, but the Yingzhou Qin family in the Eastern Region.
The East Region is the most prosperous place in the mainland, and Yingzhou is one of the four continents in the East Region. There are many high-ranking families. There, we can definitely find out the situation of Qin Ruqing's Dao body.
But... the ancestor hesitated. If he wanted to get information from the East Region, he had to contact the people there. After all, no one from the Nanling Qin family was in the East Region.
Should he contact the Qin family in the East Region because of Qin Ruqing?
The ancestor shook his head and thought for a long time without coming to a conclusion. He looked down and saw that Qin Qirong's training had ended. Qin Ruqing didn't seem to be refining pills, so he went downstairs.
"Have you finished the training?" The ancestor approached with his hands behind his back and asked casually.
Qin Ruqing rolled her eyes. She had been thinking about how to tell the ancestor about this matter. She had designed several plans in her mind, but none of them worked.
Seeing the ancestor coming over, Qin Ruqing suddenly felt that maybe it didn't need to be so troublesome. This was originally an unexpected discovery. Speaking frankly might be more natural.
So, Qin Ruqing raised her voice and said, "Ancestor, Qingqing found something strange."
The ancestor said, "Oh." Although it was a question, there was not much curiosity in his tone. With her cultivation and experience, there were very few things that could move her.
Qin Ruqing said: "Qingqing just had a sudden idea and tried to probe Qirong with the Qiangwu thorn, but unexpectedly found that Qirong's skin was very hard and the Qiangwu thorn could not penetrate it."
Qin Ruqing raised the Qiangwu in her hand towards the ancestor and said, "Not only can it not penetrate, he also cut the thorn off."
When the ancestor heard this, her expression finally changed. She walked over and asked, "How did you cut it off?"
"Just like this."
In order to demonstrate to the ancestor, Qin Ruqing skillfully pulled up the fat boy's arm and stabbed it hard with the Qiangwu thorn in front of the ancestor. It seemed that she did not hold back at all, and the stabbing was fierce and heavy.
The old ancestor's eyelids twitched. Seeing Qin Ruqing looking up, she said with a relaxed look: "Look, it's broken."
And Qirong, the silly kid, was very cooperative. He was not annoyed at all. He nodded heavily and said, "It doesn't hurt at all!"
The old ancestor looked at this strange scene and was silent for a long time. She asked the question she was most curious about: "How did you think of using the thorn of Qiangwu to test Qirong?"
What a magical brain circuit this is!
Qin Ruqing had already prepared an answer to this question. She said frankly:
"Qingqing was scratched by the sharp thorns of Qiangwu that day, but the wound healed quickly. Qingqing knew that this was the effect of the Tao body. Today, Qirong helped me deal with the medicinal materials. I saw that he didn't seem to be afraid of the thorns of Qiangwu, so I felt strange."
"Qingqing thought about it and felt that Qirong's talent was not much worse than mine. I have a Tao body, which can speed up the recovery of wounds. Maybe Qirong also has some Tao body hidden. Thinking of this, I tried the thorns of Qiangwu. Unexpectedly, hey, Qirong's physique is really special!"
Ancestor: ...
To be honest, Qin Ruqing's thoughts are strange and weird, but you can't say she is wrong. After all, she is still a child of no more than ten years old. It is normal for children to have all kinds of strange ideas in their minds.
Moreover... the facts really confirmed her guess.
The ancestor didn't know what to say, she just walked forward silently and took Qin Qirong's hand. Her warm hands stroked the lines on Qin Qirong's palm, and she used a secret method to detect his physique, and then her face gradually became serious.
In fact, she had discovered from the beginning that Qirong's body was much stronger than that of an ordinary child, but at that time she thought that Qirong had a single gold spiritual root, and his strong physique was a special spiritual root.
Now it seems... I'm afraid it's not just that.
What's so special about Qirong's physique is not something that can be seen in a short time. But no matter what, the ancestor took it to heart and began to use a series of methods to test Qirong's physique.
It turns out that Qirong's physique is not simply strong. He can actually be invulnerable to swords and guns without any spiritual energy entering his body.
Invulnerable here means that ordinary people pierce with normal force without using any spiritual energy. If he is still invulnerable with magic, it would be too incredible.
But even so, the result is still shocking. Even with the calmness of the ancestor, his heart is boiling.
The two children of the Qin family have shown extraordinary qualities... Could it be that God is really protecting our Qin family and it is time for the Qin family to rise?
If the ancestor was still hesitant, then Qirong's peculiarity, coupled with Qin Ruqing's undoubted top talent, finally made her make up her mind.
That night, the ancestor took out a long-sealed communication jade slip.
After the Qin family took root in Nanling, there was no Yingzhou Qin family in this world. However, the Qin family's roots were there, and the ancestor's desire to lead the Qin family back to the East Region has never disappeared.
However, the ancestor's hesitation was not without reason.
Because - not only the Qin family's roots are in the East Region, but also the Qin family's potential enemies are in the East Region. If the enemy is alarmed too early, it will bring disaster to the Qin family.
Therefore, the ancestor almost never used this communication jade slip to contact the main family.
At this time, Qin Wenxuan, the ancestor of the Qin family, looked at the jade tablet seriously for a long time, and finally chose to light it up.
Things that need to be faced must be faced sooner or later. The appearance of these two gifted children in the Qin family may be a sign.
Qin Ruqing didn't know the decision made by the ancestor in secret. After that day, the ancestor just arranged some special projects to test Qin Qirong's physique, and doubled Qirong's daily training volume.
Apart from that, there were no other actions.
Faced with the doubled training, the little fat boy adapted well. The fat meat on his body was reduced and became stronger. In addition, his appetite also increased.
At this time, Qin Ruqing was holding his chin and watching the little fat boy eat.
Without any dishes, he could finish a whole bowl of spiritual rice, and then add two more bowls casually. After the meal, he could drink two large cups of spiritual milk tea.
As for why it was two cups of spiritual milk tea instead of one cup as mentioned before, it was because the ancestor said that Qirong's training tasks were heavy and consumed a lot, and his body needed extra energy, so it would not hurt to add another cup.
The ancestor asked Qin Ruqing kindly if she was dissatisfied, after all, spiritual milk tea was very precious, but Qirong drank one more cup than her.
Qin Ruqing shook her head when she heard it. It was just a cup of spiritual milk tea, and it was completely worthy of the little fat man's terrifying training volume. If she was on top of him, even if the training volume was reduced by half, she would be exhausted.
At this moment, the little fat ball easily finished a table of food and finally burped. Qin Ruqing shook her head and sighed, "Rongqiu'er, you have become a real money-eating beast now."
It is no exaggeration to say that what the little fat ball eats every day is enough for the meals of two adults. She thought this was a bit abnormal and mentioned it to the ancestor vaguely.
The ancestor said that as long as he could eat it and his body was not burdened, he would let him do it.
After hearing the ancestor's words, the little fat ball opened his belly with confidence. Qin Ruqing watched him eat with fear. But after observing for a while, he really didn't see any problems with his eating. On the contrary, his face became rosy and his physique became stronger.
Qin Ruqing was relieved and began to be curious about the physique of the little fat ball. She felt that the little fat ball's horrible appetite should be related to his unknown magical physique.
After the development and training of the ancestors, the magical nature of the fat ball's physique gradually emerged.
What about me...
Qin Ruqing knocked her chin on the table. Her Taoist body, which sounded particularly awesome, didn't seem to show any strange characteristics except that the wounds recovered very quickly.
She muttered in her heart, but her eyes saw a group of people coming out from behind the screen wall at the entrance of Xianyingju.
Huh? Dad, mom and third aunt? Why are they here?
After she and Qirong moved into Xianyingju, her parents came to see her every few days. It has been less than three days since their last visit. Logically, they should not come at this time.
Qin Ruqing stood up, watched them approach, jumped off the round stool, bowed and greeted them before saying, "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"
Before Qin Deming and his wife could speak, a voice came from the side, "I asked them to come."
This voice was from the ancestor.
Qin Ruqing looked into the bamboo building skillfully and saw the ancestor walking out of the house.
The ancestor looked at the three adults present and said straight to the point, "I asked you to come here today because of the two children, Qingqing and Qirong."
Qin Deming frowned immediately, "But Qingqing and Qirong are naughty and made the ancestor unhappy?"
Qin Dexin, who had just been promoted to elder, also changed his expression and secretly glanced at the little fat man. Well, after being raised by the ancestor for these days, he looks much stronger.
The ancestor shook his head, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing." Then he slowly told the findings of these days.
The three adults were more and more surprised as they listened.
Luo Xian placed his hand on his chest, his expression seemed to be surprised and happy, "Qingqing's Taoist body has a very strong recovery ability, and the wound healed without treatment?"
Qin Dexin's hand also subconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword, "Qirong's body is invulnerable to swords and guns?"
Any one of them is a symbol of extraordinaryness. And the Qin family actually has both, and both children are extraordinary?
Why does it feel so dreamy!
The ancestor nodded calmly, "So these days, I have secretly contacted people in Yingzhou and asked them to find out the situation of these two physiques."
Qin Deming is the patriarch, he knows a lot of things, and thinks more deeply. He immediately frowned and said hesitantly: "Ancestor, is it too early to contact Yingzhou now?"
Although the Qin family is now showing signs of rise, it will take many, many years to become a big name, and this is under the condition that everything goes well. Therefore, at this time, contacting the people over there and exposing the situation here may not be a good thing.
The ancestor seemed to know what Qin Deming was worried about, and shook his head and said: "Nothing else was said, just asked them to find out the situation."
Luo Xian didn't actually care about Yingzhou or not. She asked the question that concerned her most: "Then the ancestor summoned us today, but... is there any news over there?"
Facing the eager eyes of the crowd, the ancestor nodded calmly: "After a month of investigation, the people of Yingzhou finally got some clues about the situation of these two children."
She first glanced at Qin Ruqing: "The blood has wood energy, which is endless and has a strong recovery ability. This feature is very consistent with a Taoist body called Qinglian recorded in ancient books."
"Qinglian Taoist body?" Qin Deming and Luo Xian looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
They had never heard of this Taoist body.
"It's normal that you don't know. The Qinglian Taoist Body rarely appears even in the Eastern Region. People in Yingzhou searched through ancient books and found traces of this Taoist body from some fragmentary legends handed down from the Central Region."
"Legend has it that the ancient powerful who possessed this Taoist body could fight three enemies at once and had extremely strong survivability. As long as it wasn't a one-shot kill, it would be difficult to kill it. The most special thing is that this Taoist body has been developed to the extreme and can be reborn with a drop of blood."
To put it simply, it can't be killed, and it can be reborn after death.
Qin Ruqing clenched his fists at the side, feeling both excited and confused. She asked her own question:
"But, ancestor, there are often rumors of snatching in the immortal world. Even if the immortal dies, if the spirit is still there, it can be transformed into a ghost cultivator. In this way, being able to be reborn by dripping blood is not a powerful ability."
Several adults looked at her and smiled tolerantly.
Luo Xian said gently: "Silly child, can snatching be done at will? This is to change fate against the will of heaven, and it is a life-threatening situation. Even if you succeed by chance, you can't escape the eyes of heaven, and you will have to suffer the test of your inner demons in the future."
Qin Deming also twirled his beard leisurely and added: "As for ghost cultivators, they can no longer be regarded as human beings, and their cultivation is extremely restricted. The test to advance and upgrade is not only the inner demon test?"
The ancestor concluded: "And yours The Green Lotus Taoist body is reborn with blood and is allowed by the rules of heaven without any restrictions."
Qin Ruqing: I understand.
Seizing a body and reincarnating a ghost cultivator may sound like you have saved another life, but in fact it is a small probability event with extremely low probability. Moreover, it takes advantage of the loopholes of heaven and is not tolerated by heaven. Even if it succeeds, heaven will still think about it in the future. I'll do anything to you.
But rebirth by dripping blood is not the case. This is a "skill" of the Tao body and is completely within the rules of heaven.
——Tiandao allows you, the Taoist body, to possess this skill: D
At this moment, Qin Ruqing finally had some vague feelings about the awesomeness of this Taoist body.
Ahem, doesn't this mean that I may have more than one life? Can this skill only be used once? Ha, I suddenly feel more secure haha.
The ancestor sighed and said with envy and emotion: "So, those who possess the Dao body are the favorites of Heaven, without exception."
"But..." She frowned again.
Qin Deming and his wife suddenly became nervous, "But what?"
The ancestor said: "Rebirth This method of changing one's fate is so against the will of heaven that it cannot be used casually. The news from Yingzhou said that the Qinglian Dao Body has three stages. Only when the Dao Body is developed to the final stage can such a method be used. "What three stages? "
Luo Xian asked anxiously.
The old ancestor said slowly: "The first stage is the awakening of the Tao body, which is called the Green Lotus. At this stage, the owner of the Tao body has extremely strong vitality and recovery ability. Its blood can heal injuries and is equivalent to a sixth-grade elixir."
" In the second stage, the green lotus evolves and becomes the jade lotus. In this stage, the Tao body has already reached maturity and begins to awaken its innate magical powers. "
"What about the third stage?"
The ancestor slowly shook his head: "This The Dao Body is too rare, and very few people can develop to the third stage. Therefore, the people in Yingzhou have not found out the specific information about what the third stage is called or what its characteristics are. "
"I'm just guessing that a skill like Blood Rebirth can only be used by the third stage."
Qin Deming and Luo Xian couldn't help but flash a hint of disappointment when they heard this. This was not disappointment in the ancestor, but a kind of Human instinct.
The old ancestor looked at their expressions and didn't say anything. The evolution of the Tao body requires a huge amount of resources to feed. Not to mention the third stage, even the second stage is difficult to develop with the current situation of the Qin family. Come out.
The old ancestor paused, then turned to look at Qin Qirong, "After hearing about this child's situation, the people in Yingzhou gave two possibilities."
"One is that he has awakened his Taotie bloodline."
" Taotie is an ancient mythical beast. Those who awaken the Taotie bloodline can devour the heavens and the earth. It is as rare as the Tao body. "
"The second possibility is that he awakened a special physique called 'devouring'. "
"There is a rumor that , the Devouring Physique is the primary form of Taotie. If I can find that legendary opportunity in the future, I can evolve into Taotie."
"For those who have awakened their Devouring physique, cultivation is often simple and rapid. They do not need any additional means, they only need to devour, that is, eat. They eat a large amount of various spiritual materials, natural materials and treasures, and their cultivation can be rapidly improved by eating."
"Two Both physiques have the characteristic of "devouring", but looking at Qi Rong's appearance, I'm afraid it's more like the second one. "The ancestor glanced at Qin Dexin and added, "But this is already very rare."
Xiao Fatty didn't understand what he heard, and he just felt that he was very powerful. In comparison, his mother Qin Dexin was much more shocked.
She certainly understood what the ancestor meant when he looked at her for the last time. Taotie bloodline, but it is rare enough - Taotie bloodline is obviously a higher level than Devouring, the ancestor is afraid that she will be dissatisfied with the result.
But how could he not be satisfied?
It was a pleasant surprise that Qirong could awaken his special physique.
And according to the ancestor, this physique was very extraordinary. He only needed to absorb the energy from the natural treasures to cultivate it
? The road is so difficult, and there are countless obstacles and bottlenecks on the road. Qirong has this physique, which is equivalent to turning the most difficult problem of cultivation into the simplest problem of collecting natural treasures.
Isn't it enough to have hands... Ahem, it was a bit expensive.
But even so, Qin Dexin still felt that his son had a bright future, and even had been thinking about where to find rare treasures for his son.
The old ancestor deliberately gave them time to digest the news they had just heard. After a while, he said, "It is the two children's luck that they have this opportunity, and it is also the Qin family's luck, but..."
The old ancestor obviously paused.
Qin Deming They all looked at him inquiringly. What was that?
"But, although they have extraordinary talents, they still need countless natural treasures to cultivate. Moreover, I'm afraid that ordinary natural treasures are not enough. They even need the best natural treasures.
"Qirong, needless to say, the spiritual materials that the Qin family has collected in the secret realm should be enough for him to use in the short term. As for Qingqing, it is a bit troublesome." When
he heard that his child had a problem, Qin Deming and his wife immediately became anxious, and Luo Xian quickly said, "Ancestor, what's the problem?"
"I have said before that Qin Ruqing's Dao body has three stages. The Dao body is extraordinary. If it develops to the last stage, how terrifying it will be. However, this is an extremely difficult thing. It requires the child's spiritual cultivation. "
The ancestor finally got to the point," the spirit-cultivation specification previously set for Qingqing is a low-level spirit-cultivation secret method. Although this is the best the Qin family can offer, It is a good resource, but it is not enough for Qingqing now. If she only uses the inferior spiritual cultivation secret method, Qingqing may find it difficult to develop the second stage of the Tao body in the future... "
Mr. and Mrs. Luo Xian My heart sank.
So that's how it is.
If I only use the lower-level spiritual cultivation secret method, I can't even develop the second stage of the Tao body? Isn't this just guarding a treasure mountain without doing anything, delaying the child's development?
Luo Xian hurriedly said, "But ancestor, the secret methods of nurturing the soul are all controlled by the great families and are rarely passed on. Where can you find a higher level secret method?"
She looked at the ancestor expectantly, hoping that he could give her a reassuring answer. But the ancestor shook his head.
"I don't have any idea either."
"I will ask the people in Yingzhou to continue to pay attention to the spiritual care. You can also inquire more about the secrets in the Southern Region."
Therefore, the matter of Qin Ruqing's secret method was hanging in everyone's mind.
Another two months passed, during which time, the Qin family found a lot of rare treasures from the secret realm for the two children, but most of them were used by Qin Qirong.
Because Qirong has a strong physique and the blessing of "devouring" physique, he can withstand the energy impact of the rare treasures.
But it's not the same for Qin Ruqing. She hasn't drawn the Qi into her body yet, and she can't take anything except that extremely gentle elixir.
Luo Xian and his wife were already very worried about this matter. But unexpectedly, after another month, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
The people sent by Qin Deming found out that there seemed to be a high-level spiritual cultivation secret method at the Nanzhou auction!
Great joy!
Qin Deming and his wife wanted to rush over immediately, and even the ancestor who rushed over after hearing the news was delighted.
The ancestor confirmed this statement.
"People in Yingzhou said that this kind of high-level spiritual cultivation secret method is hard to find in the East Region where aristocratic families gather, because it is rarely circulated. Even if it appears, it will be quickly snatched away by the big families, and ordinary forces have no chance to get close to it. On the contrary, in remote areas such as the Western Region and the Southern Region, there are not many big families, and high-level secret methods are more likely to circulate."
It's true! Doesn't that mean that the news from the Nanzhou auction is very likely to be true!
The matter is of great importance, and the ancestor quickly finalized with the elders at the clan meeting and confirmed the trip to Nanzhou.
The itinerary was determined, and the remaining thing was the selection of people. The people who the Qin family decided to go on the trip at the beginning were the ancestor, Qin Dexin, the eldest elder, and Qin Deming.
This list is very reasonable. The old ancestor and Qin Dexin are both foundation builders, and can guarantee the safety of this trip to the greatest extent.
In addition, Qin Deming is the patriarch and Qin Ruqing's father. The main purpose of this trip is to purchase high-quality spiritual cultivation secrets for Qin Ruqing. It would be best if he is present.
However, the travel list has changed temporarily before the trip. It was all because Qin Ruqing muttered inadvertently in front of the old ancestor, "I really want to go to the auction to have a look!"
The auction that must appear in all major fantasy novels of cultivating immortals! I have to go
and have a look! Qin Ruqing sighed because she was too young to go.
As a result, this whisper was heard by the old ancestor. She smiled and glanced at Qin Ruqing, "You want to go too?"
The little fat ball sitting next to Qin Ruqing raised his ears and quickly raised his head. He hoped that Qin Ruqing would say something to let the old ancestor take him with him.
Qin Ruqing shrank her neck awkwardly and said sensibly, "Qingqing knows she can't go, so she just said it."
"Oh?" The ancestor became curious, "Why can't you go?"
"Isn't it said that there is a high possibility of life-and-death fights at the auction? If we bring our two children, wouldn't it be inconvenient to do it?"
? What kind of books does this child read on weekdays to have such novel ideas.
The ancestor said strangely, "Who told you that there would be life-and-death fights at the auction? Generally, those who are able to bid for valuables are all aristocratic families, and aristocratic families will not easily tear their faces apart? And casual cultivators dare not provoke aristocratic families."
Qin Ruqing's face turned red after being told by the ancestor.
The novel misled me!
Whenever a novel writes about an auction, whether the protagonist gets or doesn't get what he wants, there is always some "black-eating-black" plot at the end of the auction, where he has one or more sex with someone else.
It turns out that it's not like that!
The ancestor said again: "If you and Qirong want to go, it is not impossible. Nanling County is... indeed too small. It will be good for you to go out and see the world."
"However, it is indeed a bit conspicuous to bring two children like you in the team."
After thinking for a while, the ancestor took out something from the storage ring, "This is an illusion robe, which is a magical tool commonly used in the world of immortal cultivation to conceal the body shape and breath. If you and Qirong want to go, just wear this, and then let Luo Xian lead you in another team, blending in with ordinary people, and you will be safe."
Qin Ruqing and Qin Qirong's eyes lit up when they heard it: "Really!"
In this way, the travel plan was changed.
The ancestor, Qin Deming, and the great elder are still in one team. Luo Xian and Qin Dexin took the two children and pretended to be ordinary people in another team.
At the auction house, Qin Dexin, as a foundation-building cultivator who can control the place, will join the ancestor's team.
After everything was planned, the team set off as scheduled.
Qin Ruqing and Qin Qirong wore illusion robes and looked like two little adults. This was the first time they left the Qin clan's land.
Before leaving, Qin Ruqing had already learned about it from his mother. The Nanzhou auction will be held in Beiling County. As for where this Beiling County is, we have to talk about the entire Southern Region.
A Luoxia Mountain Range divides the Southern Region into two, Nanling and Beiling. Beiling is relatively more prosperous, and Nanling County... well, it is the most remote place in the entire Southern Region.
Starting from the Qin clan's land, heading north, passing through the Luoxia Mountains, you will reach the area of Beiling County.
Qin Ruqing sat in the flying boat and saw the flying boat flying over the mountains and stopped in a prosperous town.
"This is Zhongxing City, the most prosperous place in Beiling County. It does not belong to any aristocratic family, but is directly under the jurisdiction of the Xianpin Bureau." The person who spoke was Luo Xian, and she emphasized the words "directly under the jurisdiction of the Xianpin Bureau."
Qin Ruqing knew what her mother meant by this. The Xianpin Bureau is a very special and important institution in this world. Aristocratic
families are the most direct ruling class in this world. But there are also levels among aristocratic families, and the levels are strict.
Like their Nanling Qin family, although they are aristocratic families, they have just entered the rank. Above the entry-level aristocratic families are the silver-level aristocratic families, and even the gold-level aristocratic families. The highest level of aristocratic families is the immortal-level aristocratic families.
The immortal-level aristocratic families dare to have the word "immortal" in their names, so of course their ancestors have ascended to heaven.
The immortal-level aristocratic families are recognized by the way of heaven and have the responsibility to manage the entire immortal cultivation continent.
Qin Ruqing had learned about this when she was taking the immortal world knowledge class in the family school. She personally thought that rather than saying that the immortal-level aristocratic families ruled the entire continent, it would be better to say that they were maintaining the order and tranquility of the continent.
When demons invade, the immortal-level aristocratic families have the responsibility to summon all the aristocratic families to protect ordinary people.
However, the immortal cultivation world is vast, and even the immortal-level aristocratic families find it difficult to respond in time. Therefore, there is a special agency called the Immortal-level Agency.
It was established by the Immortal Product Family and is located in various regions of the Immortal Cultivation World. The Immortal Product Family will dispatch its clansmen to sit in the Immortal Product Office to maintain order and calm people's hearts.
For example, in Nanling County where the Qin family is located, the director of the Xianpin Bureau has a real Jindan cultivation. When the beast tide comes, this director has the right to summon the three major families of Qin, Zhang, and Han in Nanling to resist the beast tide together.
If there is any resistance, the Xianpin family will punish it.
Therefore, when Luo Xian said that Zhongxing City was directly under the jurisdiction of the Xianpin Bureau, it meant that few people dared to make trouble here. Even if they were from aristocratic families, they had to keep a good smile and be decent.
After getting off the flying boat at the gate, the clan leader Qin Deming took out an identity jade slip and checked it with the city guard at the gate.
He was called a city guard, but he was actually a member of the Xianpin Bureau. Although he was only wearing an ordinary gray-blue Taoist robe, he was a foundation-building cultivator with uncompromising strength.
Therefore, even though the Qin family was a noble family traveling, they did not dare to act arrogantly.
After checking the jade slip, the captain of the Blue Robe City Guard became more cordial and respectful.
"It turns out to be the Nanling Qin family."
He shouted to the back, "Quickly line up to welcome them into the city!"
The ordinary guards at the gate skillfully lined up in two rows, forming a team to welcome the Qin family into the city.
Qin Deming naturally put away the jade slip, and the elder also put away the flying boat and took out the carriage for mortals to travel from the storage ring.
In Zhongxing City, you must abide by the rules of Zhongxing City. Zhongxing City, which is under the jurisdiction of the Xianpin Bureau, prohibits flying swords and flying boats, so you can only take a carriage.
The carriage with the Qin family emblem moved slowly, and the casual cultivators or mortals who saw it politely retreated.
After the Qin family's convoy disappeared, the deputy guard at the city gate relaxed his posture and chatted casually: "Nanling Qin family? I heard that this family has been bullied by the Zhang and Han families for a long time. How come they still have time to come to Zhongxing City?"
The captain of the city guard put his hands in his arms, looked forward, and scolded: "Be respectful! You can't talk about this casually."
There was a female cultivator with a calm demeanor in the Qin family's team just now, and her cultivation was higher than his. He is already in the middle stage of foundation building. Wouldn't she be higher than him in the late stage or even higher? And the female cultivator didn't look too old, maybe she would have the possibility of further progress in the future.
Now that the Qin family is just a small family, who knows how far they can go in the future?
The deputy guard was scolded for no reason. He felt strange and even scolded the captain a few times. They are from the Immortal Product Bureau, how could they be afraid of a small family. What's wrong with a few words?
The captain of the city guards certainly wouldn't explain to him. With such eyesight and brain, he deserves to be suppressed by him for the rest of his life.
But the Qin family, who came into the city, found an inn to rest. The Nanzhou auction will start tomorrow, and they will stay here for a night.
Qin Ruqing and Qin Qirong were like bumpkins entering the city, and they were dazzled by all kinds of scenes.
It's not that they are ignorant, but simply because they have been confined in the Qin family's territory since they were young, they have never seen such a lively scene.
Qin Deming came back from getting information and reported to the ancestor: "The Nanzhou auction house is very secretive and has not released the auction list until now. However, all kinds of gossips say that there will be high-quality soul-nourishing secrets in this auction. It's so convincing that I don't know whether it's true or not."
The ancestor said calmly: "Only the real and the unreal can arouse people's curiosity and yearning. There's no need to inquire. Since you're here, you'll know tomorrow."
Qin Ruqing held her chin and thought, spreading rumors but not telling you what it is, isn't this just one of those cheap hype methods in modern times?
Based on her experience, there should be soul-nourishing secrets, but the quality is likely to be mixed with water.
The next day, according to the previous plan, the ancestor, Qin Deming, the great elder, and Qin Dexin entered the private room on the second floor as Nanling Qin. As for Luo Xian, she took two children wearing illusion robes and sat in the ordinary private seats on the first floor.
The Nanzhou Auction, which attracted the attention of thousands of people, began.
Qin Ruqing cracked melon seeds and chatted casually, "Mom, I see that many noble families came today."
Of course, she didn't know how many noble families there were in Beiling County, but the style of the noble families' travel was still different from that of ordinary casual cultivators. Just look at the leader who took out his identity jade slip and was respectfully led to the second floor by the waiter, and you can see some clues.
Luo Xian said: "The Nanzhou Auction is held every five years, so it is naturally lively. Moreover, it is hosted by the Xianpin Bureau behind the scenes, so we have to give it some face."
Qin Ruqing nodded and immediately understood.
To put it bluntly, this auction house is the property of the Xianpin Bureau, and the Xianpin noble families stand behind it. The reason why the old ancestor comforted her before and told her not to worry too much should be related to this. No one dared to make trouble here.
While talking, two people walked onto the auction platform, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They should be the hosts or auctioneers.
Qin Ruqing thought that this auction house was quite good at handling things. Both male and female audiences were taken care of.
After the male and female auctioneers responded to each other and said a few words to each other, they did not waste time and directly entered the auction process.
All the items on auction were treasures that ordinary people could hardly see outside, which was dazzling. Qin Ruqing was very interested at first, but after a long time, she couldn't help but feel a little bored.
The most important thing is that the rumored high-grade spiritual cultivation secret method has not been seen yet, which makes people wonder if this is a lie made up by the auction house to attract traffic.
At present, the auction has reached the point where the audience in the private seats downstairs can hardly intervene, and the bidders are basically the noble families sitting in the private rooms on the second floor.
During this period, the Qin family made two bids and bought two very rare spiritual medicines.
Qin Ruqing thought about it and understood that this should be something bought for Qirong or the ancestor.
Qirong has a devouring physique and needs all kinds of natural treasures. And the medicine that the ancestor needs to heal his injuries is probably even rarer. If you come across it, you naturally can't miss it.
At the end of the auction, when the auctioneer announced that there were only two items left, the atmosphere in the venue did not cool down, but became more and more anxious. This was because almost all the heavyweight families on the second floor came for the last two items.
After the auctioneer finished speaking, the attendant in the backstage promptly brought up a sandalwood tray covered with red cloth. Seeing her charming smile, she lifted the red cloth with her slender hands and said loudly:
"I believe everyone has heard of the next lot before. This is a mid-grade soul-nourishing secret method. I believe I don't need to say much about the rarity of the soul-nourishing secret method, right?" "It
is rarely circulated in the world, and even if it appears, it will be quickly sold out. The soul-nourishing secret method in my hand now may be the only one circulating in the Southern Region. If you miss it this time, you don't know when you will have to wait for the next time~"
The beauty chuckled and mentioned it at the right time. She didn't say anything more and started bidding directly.
"This soul-nourishing secret method was obtained by my Nanzhou Auction House at a high price, so the starting price is 10,000 spirit stones."
"Now, start!"
There was a roar of excitement!
Not only because this exciting moment had finally arrived, but also because of its amazing price.
Ten thousand spirit golds could be exchanged for one spirit stone, and how many spirit golds were needed to convert ten thousand spirit stones?
However, although the spirit-cultivating secret method was expensive, the noble families were not ambiguous in their bidding. If we missed this opportunity, who knows when we will have to wait for the next one.
Without any hesitation, bidding sounds came from the private room on the second floor.
"Twenty thousand."
"Twenty-five thousand."
"Thirty thousand!"
"......t"
In the Qin's box, everyone frowned, especially Qin Deming, "Grandpa, it's just a mid-grade soul-nourishing secret method. Do we still need to bid again?"
The old ancestor said only one word: "Bid!"
After saying this, he slowly said: "The soul-nourishing secret method can be encountered but not sought after. You must bid when you see it. The mid-grade soul-nourishing secret method... although it is still not enough for Qingqing, it is better than the low-grade soul-nourishing secret method that the family is using now."
After listening to this, Qin Deming said no more and directly rang the bell to join the bidding.
Qin Ruqing, who was downstairs, watched the price soar straight up, and couldn't help but smack her lips and said, "Mom, this is too expensive..."
Luo Xian frowned, and there was also worry on her face, "This is also unavoidable. Once the secret method of nourishing the soul appears, it will inevitably cause a crazy rush. Now I just hope that the final price will be within the Qin family's affordability."
But reality is often contrary to one's wishes.
When the price was raised to 50,000, the number of bidders began to decrease. When the price reached 80,000, only the last two or three were left.
"85,000, who else wants to bid?" The auctioneer, who was wearing a jade crown and dressed like a mortal scholar, smiled and said.
No one spoke.
The beautiful auctioneer next to him took over the conversation at the right time: "Then, 85,000 per time..."
"Ninety thousand!" Qin Deming gritted his teeth and reported the number with difficulty.
This is already quite high.
The psychological bottom price previously agreed upon by the Qin family was one hundred thousand. If the price exceeded one hundred thousand, the Qin family might not be able to afford it.
There was silence in the field.
Ninety thousand spirit stones, this price is close to the operating funds of an ordinary family of entry for five years. If the auction continues, it means that the family will spend a lot of funds to maintain operations on a mid-grade soul-cultivating secret method.
Although the soul-cultivating secret method has far-reaching significance for a family, it is only used for children in the soul-cultivating period after all, and it is difficult to make a profit for the family in a short time.
Most people hesitated.
Qin Deming clenched his fists and heard the beautiful auctioneer say with a smile: "The price of the auction item has reached 90,000."
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"If you miss this time, there will be no next time!"
Qin Deming couldn't help but curse inwardly: This woman is still ringing the bell! Isn't the 90,000 commission enough for you?
"90,000 once."
"90,000 twice." "90,000-
"
"One hundred thousand."
A plain voice came from the far left of the second floor.
Someone actually raised the price! Qin Deming stood up with a very ugly face.
One hundred thousand has reached the psychological bottom line of the Qin family.
He clenched and unclenched his fists, but he still couldn't make a decision. If the price is raised again, the Qin family may not be able to afford it. But if they give up, they don't know when they will have to wait for the next medium-grade or higher spiritual cultivation secret method.
Could it be that he, as a father, will miss the opportunity to watch his daughter?
Qin Deming looked at the ancestor in embarrassment.
The ancestor's expression was no longer as calm as before. She frowned slightly, and seemed to be hesitant in her heart.
The elder reminded him implicitly: "Ancestor, the mining volume of the Fu Secret Realm in the past two years is probably only 100,000 spiritual stones. If the price is raised again, the family treasury may not be able to raise such a huge amount of money for a while."
They were pondering in their room, but the cunning auctioneers of the Nanzhou Auction House would not wait for anyone.
"One hundred thousand once." "
One hundred thousand twice..."
When the hammer was about to fall, the ancestor spoke.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones, plus a four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum."
"Ask the owner behind this secret method of nourishing the soul if he is willing to accept this price. If not, the Qin family will give up."
The ancestor's voice was indifferent, and he had directly revealed his trump card. If it succeeds, it succeeds. If it fails, the Qin family will directly withdraw from the bidding.
The two auctioneers looked at each other and calculated skillfully in their hearts. The market price of a four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is about 20,000 spirit stones, and it can be higher if it enters the auction house.
However, the market price can sometimes only be used as a reference. Because many times, you may not be able to buy a four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum for 20,000 spirit stones.
Because it is well known that the four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is the main ingredient for refining the foundation-building pill. So Precious things will be treasured even if someone finds them by accident. How can they be sold easily?
In general, even if it is a mid-grade soul-nourishing secret method, 100,000 spirit stones plus a four-leaf Ganoderma lucidum is already a huge premium.
Sure enough, as soon as the ancestor said this, the guests in the leftmost box on the second floor fell into a long silence, and after a while they hung up a red card.
This means to withdraw from the bidding.
The greedy auctioneers of the Nanzhou Auction House also had their appetites satisfied. They stopped procrastinating, hammered quickly, and said loudly:
"Dear guest, this mid-grade soul-nourishing secret method is yours. Our servants will deliver the item to your room later. "
Inside the box, Qin Deming's worries turned into joy.
The elder wanted to say something but stopped.
And the ancestor also slowly exhaled a breath.
No matter what, this medium-grade soul-nourishing secret method was finally obtained.
