“…”

The price being asked now, what one is paying for is already at the first level of Yin God’s True Blood.

And basically, it’s the people in the boxes at the top who are competing.

Divine gold, divine elixir… all were shouted out from their mouths, their voices were passionate and full of power that could infect others.

You may ask what kind of power these voices contain? Of course it is the power of money!

The people in the middle and lower levels could only listen quietly, occasionally exclaiming in amazement at some treasure, acting as qualified atmosphere creators.

An Lang's voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum, rang in Zhou Qing's ears.

"Sir, this form of auction makes people feel more involved than the Wanxing Trading Fair."

Zhou Qing nodded.

You know what, it’s true.

Although you are not the one shouting the price, hearing these voices constantly ringing in your ears is much more touching than the numbers jumping on the trading screen at the Wanxing Trade Fair.

It probably gives people a feeling that, although I have nothing to do with these bids, I still feel very passionate and excited.

Zhou Qing was very calm, but most people couldn't remain calm.

The atmosphere is there, it's impossible not to be excited.

In particular, humans are creatures that are very easily influenced by the environment and atmosphere.

"A Lingyang Holy Fruit, a Deep Sea Silver Mother, and a Divine Blood Pill!"

Another young voice sounded, "Everyone, I, Lingyang Lake, am very interested in this puppet. I hope you will give me Lingyang Lake some face!"

“…”

Zhou Qing was speechless. The scene he had expected before attending the auction finally appeared.

Finally someone has activated his face-saving ability.

In other words, this scene is bound to happen at such a public auction.

This is actually a violation of the auction rules, but this rule-breaking behavior is another default rule.

From ancient times to the present, any public auction is not only a competition of financial strength, but also a competition of power.

only……

Why does this voice sound familiar?

Zhou Qing looked upwards, locking his gaze on box number five.

A man appeared in front of the window of box number five, looking down upon the conference room with a look of high spirits.

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly became strange.

No wonder he felt the voice was familiar, it turned out he really knew it.

He is his good brother Yang Teng! But the Chiyang Master's face darkened and he said coldly: "This is the Nine Suns Auction, Lingyang Lake is too rude!"

"Here, every customer can bid freely. The Nine Suns Alliance will never allow anyone to take advantage of their power to bully others!"

The arrogance on Yang Teng's face subsided and he glanced at Venerable Chi Yang.

"Your Excellency is right. Lingyang Lake naturally abides by the rules of the Nine Suns Alliance. I was careless for the moment. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

Then Yang Teng's figure disappeared in front of the window.

The auction continued, but this incident did have an impact on others. In the end, after Yang Teng raised the price again, the item was still won by Lingyang Lake.

Zhou Qing looked at this scene, thoughtful.

Although Lingyang Lake is behind the Nine Yang Alliance, it seems that the two sides are not completely of the same mind.

It can even be said that there is a contradiction.

Thinking about some of the information he had obtained in Jiuyang City in the past two days, Zhou Qing had a deeper understanding of some situations.

The Nine Suns Alliance is a large alliance with complicated internal situations.

This alliance includes Lingyang Lake as well as other forces.

The most important thing is that the Nine Yang Alliance has been established for a long time, so long that it has cultivated many strong people who belong to and are loyal to the alliance.

They only feel a sense of belonging to the Nine Suns Alliance, and the forces behind the alliance are not the objects of their loyalty.

As things have developed to this day, the demands of the Nine Yang Alliance itself can even be said to be contrary to some of the forces behind it.

When Lingyang Lake and his people first formed the Nine Yang Alliance, there was no doubt that they wanted to gain more benefits through this alliance to benefit themselves.

The alliance is just a tool for them.

But after a long period of development, the Nine Suns Alliance has its own strength. Are they still willing to be tools and be sucked blood? Of course not.

Taking Zhou Qing’s previous life as an example, it was probably the dirty work between the colonizers and the colonized, or the shareholders of a company.

Lingyang Lake wants this puppet. If his relationship with the Nine Yang Alliance is normal, then there is no need to obtain it at the auction. He can just divide it internally.

The emergence of such a scene now undoubtedly shows that the relationship between the two sides is no longer normal.

Of course, no matter how abnormal it is, Lingyang Lake still controls the Nine Yang Alliance.

So when Yang Teng used his face-saving ability, he only received a verbal warning and no other consequences.

It is impossible for Venerable Chiyang to ignore Yang Teng’s behavior of breaking the rules, but it is also impossible for him to be kicked out for this reason.

After all, he is the son of the Dragon King of Lingyang Lake.

“The second lot…”

Venerable Chiyang took out another treasure, which was an inner armor.

"Aoyang Armor, top-grade Yuanwu soldier quality!"

Compared with the True Blood Puppet, the grade of this second item was greatly reduced, and it was finally affordable for people at Zhou Qing's level.

If every item was of the level of a True Blood Puppet, then there would be no chance for anyone else outside the box.

Since the middle-level practitioners have been invited and the lower-level people are allowed to come in, they must naturally be given the opportunity to consume.

It's impossible to really let them serve as the atmosphere group.

However, Zhou Qing naturally had no use for this Aoyang Armor, so he just watched others start the competition comfortably.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold!"

This was the first offer, coming from the lowest level, but it was immediately ruthlessly crushed and quickly raised a lot.

One hundred thousand taels of gold are valuable, but they definitely cannot buy a top-grade Yuanwu weapon.

At least those who can refine weapons of this level may not have much gold, but they will definitely not lack this kind of thing.

Even if a large amount of gold is needed for refining equipment and forging weapons one day, they can quickly gather it thanks to their connections.

"One hundred thousand taels of gold."

An Lang spoke with emotion. For her who is still alive, and for the former An family, this is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

But now, this astronomical figure can’t buy anything.

"Sir, do you think we can buy the puppet we just saw with gold and silver?"

Zhou Qing said without any hesitation: "Okay."

"But that number is so large that you don't even have a concrete idea of ​​it."

Zhou Qing did not lie to An Lang, although gold and silver were not competitive enough when bidding for some high-level treasures.

But it’s because of the quantity.

In fact, as long as the amount of gold is sufficient, you can buy more high-level treasures.

After all, most of the troubles in the world are caused by having no money or not having enough money.

Gold and silver are not mundane things in this world, but are also resources that can be used in extraordinary matters.

It is said that a certain force's unique magical skill requires a large amount of gold to practice.

It's just that it is too easy to obtain, so it seems not very rare, and its competitiveness is weaker than some treasures.

Things that are too easy to obtain are always not cherished.

The Aoyang Armor was sold out quickly, and then the third item came up. As Venerable Chiyang introduced this treasure, Zhou Qing sat up straighter.

"The Hundred Sun Ghost Flower is produced in the Nine Sun Ruins. It is a strange ghost flower. Only when a hundred sun ghosts die near this flower can the flower be fully nurtured successfully."

"After a ghost takes this flower, its Yang energy will be greatly increased, making it easier to harmonize Yin and Yang, which is quite beneficial for advancing to the realm of Manifestation. For guests who cultivate ghosts, this is definitely a ghost flower that should not be missed."

Zhou Qing's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that what he needed would appear in the third lot.

If An Lang can use it, then it is naturally what he needs.

In order to break through to the realm of manifestation of holiness, balancing yin and yang and achieving harmony is a difficult hurdle that has blocked countless people.

Monks need to harmonize yin and yang to ascend to the level of a saint, and the same is true for ghosts.

The vital energy is the line that separates yin and yang, allowing the two to reach a state of balance and coordination. Only in this way can we move from illusion to reality.

It is both contradictory and unified, which implicitly conforms to the laws of heaven and earth and the true meaning of the Tao.

Only when yin and yang work together can one become a saint.

The realm of manifestation of holiness is actually an integration and sublimation of the cultivation results of the previous realms, which eventually becomes perfect and flawless, and is refined into a Yin God.

Zhou Qing himself was promoted to a holy man, so the coordination of yin and yang was not difficult for him. He had already made a plan in his mind and was very confident.

As for An Lang, although she will definitely have a breakthrough after Zhou Qing, it is a good thing to prepare for her in advance.

So he took action directly and wanted to take a picture of this Hundred Yang Ghost Flower.

But Zhou Qing looked calm and not at all panicked.

He has decided to get this Baiyang Ghost Flower.

I can't afford a real blood puppet, but I can't afford a little flower from you? Don't say anything, I'm just arrogant!

In the end, only a divine master from the middle-level A zone was still competing with Zhou Qing, and he frequently looked at Zhou Qing with anger and warning in his eyes.

A demon from the Sun Travel Realm dares to fight with me? Do you know who I am? Don’t you know how to write the word death? !

You give up now...

Then Zhou Qing made another bid, which made the master of the Manifestation of Saint very angry.

Then he gave up first, with a cold face and sneers, memorized Zhou Qing's face in his mind, and stopped talking.

Zhou Qing glanced at him and laughed his ass off.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Poor guy!

Venerable Chiyang made the final decision and announced the result.

"Congratulations to guest number 13 for winning the bid for this Baiyang Ghost Flower!"

The people around Zhou Qing looked at him frequently and felt that he was rich and tough, and seemed not to care about the threat from a master of the Manifestation of Divine Power.

The demon beside Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Qing and reminded him in a low voice: "The person who competed with you just now is a spiritual ghost Taoist, who has the cultivation level of the late stage of Manifestation of Saints. He is also cultivating three ghosts at the same time, two of which have already broken through to the Manifestation of Saints. He is a very famous master in Jiuyang City."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised. He didn't expect there was such a kind person.

"Thanks for the reminder."

The ghost Taoist in the late stage of the manifestation of the saint also cultivated two ghosts of the manifestation of the saint...

I'm so scared.

"Sir, that guy won't come to kill us after the auction is over, right?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Zhou Qing felt that An Lang's tone seemed a little excited.

"It doesn't matter. If he wants to come, I'll just wait for him."

Humph, manifestation of divine power?

I will make sure he never comes back! Or this kind of auction is exciting, threatening and holding a grudge at every turn, and then killing him afterwards.

Jiuyang Grand Stage, come if you are called.

I have to say, this taste is really authentic.

The Wanxing Trade Fair, which tried every means to protect the safety of its guests, was simply heresy! The auction items were taken out one by one by Lord Chiyang, and then they were auctioned at high prices to determine their owners.

I have to say that the Nine Yang Alliance is quite considerate of its guests.

The things they took out included valuables that the people in the box would constantly fight over, as well as treasures that the low-level practitioners in the lower levels could also have a taste of.

Let each group feel a sense of participation, so that they don’t become just a group creating atmosphere.

Of course, even those treasures of relatively lower levels are definitely the most superior in their class and are treasures among the same level.

It doesn’t matter if the treasure is of low level, as long as it is rare enough, it won’t be considered a loss of reputation.

Although these treasures were not very useful to Zhou Qing, they did help him gain a lot of knowledge.

Especially some of the specialties from Jiuyangxu are refreshing.

At a certain moment, Venerable Chiyang took out another treasure, which turned out to be a token.

After seeing the token, Zhou Qing remained calm on the surface, but was somewhat shocked in his heart.

He had seen such a token before, and he had one! No, that's not right, this token was a little different from the one he had.

Reverend Chiyang displayed the token, turning it front and back so that everyone could see it clearly.

The token seemed to be made of iron, with a twelve-petal flower on one side and the word "闻" (wen) outlined on the other.

The twelve-petal flower on Zhou Qing's token is no different from this one, but the side engraved with words on it is not "闻" (smell), but "香" (fragrance).

But Zhou Qing was sure that the two tokens were most likely related.

Zhou Qing pondered in his heart, a word for fragrance, a word for smell...

Smell the fragrance? Smell the fragrance? The token with the word "fragrance" engraved on his body was found on him after he killed Fang Cheng, an inner disciple of Tianlong Sect, during the last exploration of Tianming Sect's beast farm.

At that time, he did not find anything special about the token, and he did not find anything wrong when searching Fang Cheng's soul. Fang Cheng also obtained it by chance.

After Zhou Qing got the Xiang token, he didn't care about it and just put it in his space bag.

I didn't expect to see another "Wen" token that was so similar to the "Xiang" token today.

Suddenly, Zhou Qing paid more attention to this token.

Venerable Chiyang, can you answer this question for him? Not only Zhou Qing, but others also looked at the token with confusion on their faces.

What is this? Reverend Chi Yang said slowly, "I believe that guests who have participated in the Nine Suns Auction before are familiar with our auction."

"In addition to auctioning some treasures with confirmed functions, we will also auction some mysterious treasures. This token is one of the mysterious treasures in this auction."

“…”

Zhou Qing was silent. After the words "mysterious treasure" came out, he no longer expected Venerable Chiyang to answer his questions about the token.

Zhou Qing also knew something about the mysterious treasures in the Jiuyang Auction.

Because the origin of Jiuyang Ruins is mysterious and ancient, practitioners often dig out some mysterious things whose origins are unclear.

Some of these things may be identified with their approximate functions after exploration, but some are quite mysterious, and there is no useful information about their origins, functions, or how to use them.

But such things have obvious special features and are unlikely to be useless.

Lost?

This is impossible.

Leaving it in a warehouse gathering dust?

That would be such a waste.

So I don’t know when the Nine Yang Alliance started auctioning these mysterious treasures at the Nine Yang Auction.

Anyway, they couldn't find any useful information, and they didn't want to leave it gathering dust in the warehouse, so they might as well sell it.

Do you think this is a loss-making business? Obviously not. How can you lose money by selling something that is useless to you and you don't even know if it is useful or not, or whether it is good or bad?

Even those extremely special mysterious treasures, the Nine Yang Alliance will not sell them.

The things that can be put up for auction are those that don’t look that special.

Even if other people really discovered its use, the Nine Yang Alliance would acknowledge it.

Because generation after generation, there are many examples of these mysterious treasures remaining useless even after being auctioned off.

They can never lose.

These mysterious treasures have only one thing in common, which is that the Nine Suns Alliance is also unaware of their details.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Venerable Chiyang to tell Zhou Qing the truth about the token.

This made Zhou Qing a little disappointed, but he immediately gave up the idea.

Although the exact truth is unknown, it is certain that there is something strange about this token.

This is also a kind of gain.

“…This is the auction of the mysterious treasure.”

Venerable Chiyang also introduced it to those who didn't know, and then continued:

"We got this token from Jiuyang Ruins. We don't know whether it was originally there or lost when brought in by an outsider."

"When we found it, it was in the stomach of a Xuman beast, and it had already condensed with the flesh and blood of the Xuman beast. It can be seen that this token has been eaten for a long time."

When this was said, everyone was a little surprised.

No wonder the Nine Yang Alliance dared to auction the token as a mysterious treasure. The iron token that had been eaten by a beast for who knows how long could still remain intact without any damage.

This is an amazing performance, and at least it means that the material of this token is extraordinary.

A token was forged with such material, and many people immediately made all kinds of associations.

Is this token a token of some force?

Or is it a key item to unlock a certain inheritance?

Well...it could also be a piece of metal that was once useful but is now useless and just solid scrap metal.

The fact that the Nine Suns Alliance released the token was enough to prove that after their appraisal, this token was not worthy of being collected by the alliance.

Venerable Chiyang said again:

"Before we start the auction, I want to remind you that we don't know what the mysterious treasures at the Nine Suns Auction are, and we don't guarantee any mysterious treasures."

"If you are destined to have it and are lucky enough, you may get a rare and magical item, but you may also get a useless item. Nothing is certain."

"So, please be careful when bidding for the mysterious treasure. Once it is sold, the Nine Suns Alliance will not be responsible."

"If you want to buy this item to explore, and then come to the Nine Suns Alliance to return it if you don't get anything, then don't ask for it during the auction later."

Every time a mysterious treasure is auctioned, the people from the Nine Yang Alliance will routinely distance themselves from any responsibility.

But Zhou Qing didn't care about these. He just wanted to get the token.
