Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Asking Senior Spirit to Help
Wanxiangfang praised this item highly, and the starting price was also very high, a full ten jade chips, but not many people participated in the auction.
——The ancient skills and instruments are very powerful, but they may not be compatible with the current path of cultivation. It also takes time to decipher the text and erase the marks of the previous owner in the instruments, which invisibly raises the threshold.
Only those practitioners who are calm, have solid foundation, and love to study ancient skills will buy such collections.
The auction sounded slowly, and Manager Zhu revealed: "There is a magic weapon that our Wanxiangfang has been refining for a long time, and the mark of the original owner has been erased, so it can be used directly. It is the Five Elements Transformation Bell. Shaking it can reverse and confuse the five elements of spiritual power."
After hearing this, more people were interested, after all, Wanxiangfang had already done some preliminary work. But these were sold in packages, so people were still hesitant.
Bai Lu felt that the voice was urging him, so he stared at it for a few more times, confirming that the styles of the silk manuscripts were indeed similar. He had studied ancient characters and knew that not all ancient characters came from the same source, but the painting styles of the two star maps were very similar, so they were more or less related.
Bai Lu was a little anxious, and she pushed Ning Yanhu: "Senior Sister, I want to take a picture of that."
Ning Yanhu also found it familiar. The previous copy was the one she picked up while patrolling the mountains and gave to Huo Xuexiang. However, she did not study it carefully, so she just felt familiar.
"Hmm?" Ning Yanhu looked at him curiously, "Why are you interested in these? You can just use a sword, why do you want to hang a bell?"
"What bell? I'm interested in the secret scroll inside." Bai Lu emphasized, as if he wanted to take the picture just because the bell looked good.
The spirit of the weapon put his hands behind his head and laughed, "Don't believe it. He must want to hang the bell."
Meng Caiqing took a few glances and said, "Brother, do you know what the secret scroll says?"
Bai Lu glared at the weapon spirit and said, "My master also has a silk book with a similar style to the secret scroll in it. It is about ancient astrology. I studied it with him and found that ancient culture is quite interesting. Please, Senior Sister."
"But this one is not necessarily about astrology, it just has constellations. There is no such thing as martial arts without constellations." Meng Caiqing also suspected that Bai Lu was after the other things in the package that were being sold.
Bai Lu: "...No matter what, I want a recipe if it's written on it."
Bai Lu immediately started to play tricks and said with certainty: "I want it!"
Meng Caiqing: “…”
Ning Yanhu also remembered why he looked familiar. Why did Bai Lu want to study ancient martial arts again? These are what those old scholars like. Alas, this sword cultivator is not doing his job properly.
If you want it, then you want it. It’s not like your master can’t afford it. But the filming has already started… I originally planned to come and watch the fun, without any preparation.
Ning Yanhu stood up suddenly and called the blue-clothed servant, "We need to exchange the jade chips, hurry up!"
…
There were a lot of things in Bai Lu's mustard seed Xumi, including a large pile of spiritual stones given by Huo Xuexiang. It would take some time to count and estimate the value. Ning Yanhu relied on Xuanshan's face to buy 88 jade chips on credit. Bai Lu felt a little guilty, wondering how much of the master's deposit this was...
At this time, the bidding below had reached more than forty jade chips.
Manager Zhu was still inciting people, even though he had already exaggerated what was written in the secret scroll to the heavens and the earth, and gave the example of someone who had found a relic and researched something, as if if one bought it home, one would be able to cultivate into a cultivator of the Three No Realms like the owner of the relic.
Anyone who wants to pay can hit the small chime in the private room. If you hit it once, you will get one more jade token. If you hit the small chime next to it, you will get ten more. But this is rare because one jade token is worth a lot of money.
After Bai Lu got the jade token, he didn't strike the bell immediately. The other students were very interested in him and waited beside him, but he didn't move. "Senior Brother Bai was eager to ask Senior Sister to change the jade token."
Bai Lu said nothing, but looked down intently, unlike her usual jumpy self.
This was not the first time he attended a similar auction. There were similar events in the wizarding world where one could buy the rare materials he needed. Bai Lu knew very well that the more anxious he was at this moment, the less anxious he should be.
Sure enough, the sound of bells ringing came one after another from other boxes.
Manager Zhu reported the number of jade chips in real time from below, and occasionally provoked the auctioneer with words. When the number of jade chips reached 60, the number of competitors had decreased a lot, with only three or four people left.
"Room No. 3, sixty jade chips! Are there any other guests who would like to increase the price?" Manager Zhu looked around.
There was silence for a few seconds.
The spirit of the weapon turned around and saw Bai Lu decisively knocking on the small bell at hand, as if he knew this moment would come and took action immediately.
The special sound of the chimes spread, shocking the entire place.
Someone actually added ten jade chips at once!
Manager Zhu looked towards Room 3 and said, "Room 16, 70 jade chips—"
Unfortunately, there was no movement in Room 3.
Bai Lu was also a little nervous. It would be best if she could stop here, because there were still eighteen jade chips left that had not been used up.
But at this moment, another room where the chimes had never been heard before also struck a bell.
"Eighty! The distinguished guest of number six!" Manager Zhu's eyes lit up.
Bai Lu frowned and struck the chime once, adding up to eighty-one.
Xu No. 6 did not hesitate and immediately struck the chimes twice more, bringing the number to one hundred.
"Disgusting rich man." Bai Lu didn't expect that a rich man would suddenly appear and bid a price that was a bit too much. How much it was could be seen from the expression of Manager Zhu.
Bai Lu wanted to ask his master to buy it, but Meng Caiqing pulled him back and said, "Brother Bai, why are you acting like Liang Mangu, with a gambling addiction? It's definitely not worth that much!"
Liang Mangu: "...Hey, right, don't learn from me."
Meng Caiqing's words really calmed Bai Lu down a bit, but it wasn't that he didn't want it anymore. Instead, he opened his mind. If he spent all his money to buy this thing, it would be really strange in the eyes of others, and they might even be suspicious.
Besides, Bai Lu doesn't need those magic tools at all. She just wants to read the silk book. If she asks Wanxiangfang to help, can she negotiate with the buyer...
"Yeah, yes, I've calmed down..." Bai Lu said as she watched the auction end without blinking. The servant took the tray and went to No. 6 Xu to get the jade chips.
"Forget it, Junior Brother. Let Wanxiangfang keep an eye out for you to see if there are any similar items." Ning Yanhu and the other classmates comforted him. The auction just now also made them excited, but it was indeed not worth that much.
Bai Lu was already thinking about how to tell the other party.
At this time, the servant came out from Box No. 6, with a tray full of jade chips on it, and he also handed the auction items to Box No. 6.
etc……
Bai Lu frowned.
He felt that there was a hint of water.
But if you look closely, you can't see anything. There is no flaw when using spiritual power or magic. There is just a slight feeling that seems like an illusion.
But the wizard believed in his intuition. Bai Lu suddenly thought of something and took out the pair of glasses that were almost covered with dust and which he had not used since he established his foundation. He adjusted the angle and aimed them at the jade chip.
When Liang Mangu saw this familiar action, he immediately reacted: "No way?"
At first glance, the contrast was indeed wrong!
Bai Lu didn't know why, but he knew his chance had come. When he saw the item was about to fall into the hands of guest number six, he immediately stood up and shouted, "The jade token is fake!"
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
A strange look flashed in Manager Zhu's eyes, but since it was a disciple from Xuanshan who called out the name, he did not doubt it and immediately went to touch the jade chip.
The jade chip is specially made by Wanxiangfang. Few people know that there is a special silver thread hidden inside. The jade chip looks seamless on the outside, but there is indeed no silver thread inside.
But before he could verify it, with a sound, nearly half of the jade chips in the tray disappeared. It turned out that there were only fifty or sixty real jade chips in it, and the rest were illusions.
"What do you mean, sir?" Manager Zhu's face darkened and he looked in the direction of Box No. 6. At the same time, he retracted his hand and the jade plate flew back to him. However, it was halfway there when it was controlled by the power in the box and broke into two pieces. Manager Zhu only retrieved the silk book and other things, and the Five Elements Transformation Bell still fell into the hands of the other party.
A masked monk walked out of the Xuliu room and glanced gloomily in Bai Lu's direction: "Humph, how did you see through it?"
His trick could fool the knowledgeable Wanxiangfang, but was seen through by another boy.
"Physics!" Bai Lu replied, unable to hide his excitement. Now the silk book should be his.
"Physical magic? I remember it." The monk narrowed his eyes and looked at him, obviously holding a grudge. Then he said to Manager Zhu in a hoarse voice, "If that's the case, you can't blame me."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand and attacked Manager Zhu without saying a word, trying to snatch the remaining items.
"You are not the first one to come to Wanxiangfang to cause trouble, and you will not be the last one, but you can see who has succeeded before!" Manager Zhu sneered and with a wave of his right hand, a huge formation rose up on the platform in front of him.
Covered in golden light, invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. This is the famous formation of Wanxiangfang. All things return to their origin, and all attacks entering the formation are like a drop in the ocean.
At the same time, two monks appeared behind Manager Zhu, releasing the coercive aura of high-level monks and sneered at the troublemaker No. 6 Xu.
Monk No. 6 Xu was not panicked. He raised his hand and shook the Five Elements Transformation Bell.
In an instant, the surrounding spiritual energy became extremely chaotic, as if returning to the chaos at the beginning of the world. It was difficult to distinguish the five elements from it. Even Bai Lu felt that the water element had become a mass, like mud.
"So powerful!" Ning Yanhu exclaimed. Even though this was a magical weapon of the ancient Three No Monks, how much of its effectiveness it could bring depended on the monk's ability.
The Xuanshan disciples were a little frightened but also excited. They hadn't even been to the mortal world for the test yet, but they were already watching such a grand scene.
Manager Zhu shouted again, "I also ask all the distinguished guests and fellow practitioners to lend a hand and help us capture this cultivator who broke the rules. Wanxiangfang will be grateful and will definitely reward you."
Regardless of whether others would take action or not, he would first call for people to join his camp. He had to ensure the reputation of Wanxiangfang now, otherwise it would be gone in the future.
As expected, Monk No. 6 Xu also looked at the people around him warily, especially Bai Lu who had pointed out his mistake, and considered beating them up together.
Bai Lu: Don’t come at me.
But if you insist on coming at him...
Bai Lu was not in a hurry to call for help. He looked at his classmates and felt that everyone had the same idea.
Bai Lu and his fellow apprentices bowed in one direction and said in unison: "Senior Qi Ling, please help!"
Spirit of the weapon: “…………”
How is this different from cursing?!
The weapon spirit had a dark face and cursed: "If I succeed in the fusion, you're all doomed!!"
Xuanshan, the spirit of the weapon, was famous for his weapons breaking when they were seen. There were few weapons in the world that could carry his spirit. This Five Elements Transformation Bell belonged to the Three-No Cultivator, but the Wanxiangfang had painstakingly erased the imprint, which just happened to be convenient for the spirit of the weapon.
Amid the applause of the Xuanshan disciples, the spirit of the weapon flew towards Monk No. 6 Xu.
Monk No. 6 Xu didn't know what this thing was, and had no time to stop it, and it suddenly entered the Five Elements Transformation Bell in his hand.
He saw the Five Elements Transformation Bell suddenly burst into precious light and auspicious aura, which made his eyes widen. He thought it was an attack, but why did it look like the magic weapon was undergoing a transformation and upgrade?
But the next moment, the Five Elements Transformation Bell broke into five pieces with a clang in full view of everyone!
The Five Elements Transformation Bell could not withstand this peerless spirit and was destroyed.
The other guests present could not help but be surprised: "What kind of trick is this? It's amazing!"
Bai Lu and a group of outlaws couldn't help laughing. Hahahaha. He is worthy of being feared by everyone in Xuanshan. The spirit of the weapon hasn't found its owner for hundreds of years.
Bai Lu has thought it through. If they cannot be fused, they will break. If they can be fused, the spirit of the weapon will have a place to stay. Since this magic weapon has no master, the spirit of the weapon can even help them.
Monk No. 6: “…………”
It can be imagined that his covered face must have been completely dark.
Even Manager Zhu felt a pang of pain in his heart. Although this person had already paid part of the money, to see such a top-grade magic weapon just appeared and was destroyed before it could show its power... It was heartbreaking!
Alas, but Manager Zhu also knew that if he hesitated to make a decision, he would suffer the consequences, so he had to thank Xuanshan: "...Thank you very much!"
Manager Zhu waved his hand, allowing two monks from Wanxiangfang to seize the opportunity to capture him.
Monk No. 6 Xu did not retreat and opened his hands.
Previously, he had used water magic, and everyone thought he practiced water magic. At this moment, he opened his hand and released a flame. The flame was like flowing water, swirling around him. The center of the flame was a strange blue color, and the temperature of the entire Wanxiang Square suddenly rose a lot.
"Bifang Yang Fire?!"
"As expected of a member of Wanxiangfang, you have quite a good eye." Monk No. 6 Xu said faintly.
There are three kinds of Yang Fire in the world of cultivating immortals. The earth fire in the earth network can be refined to become the earth extreme Yang Fire, and the sky fire when the fire meteor falls to the ground can be refined to become the sky extreme Yang Fire. The third kind is also the only one that is not formed naturally.
In ancient times, there were twelve demon kings under the command of the Phoenix Emperor. Among them, the demon king Bifang realized the way of true fire and cultivated the third kind of yang fire from his own body. Therefore, this third kind of yang fire is called innate yang fire, also called Bifang yang fire.
But precisely because it relies on one's own cultivation, it is the rarest of the three kinds of Yang Fire. Most of the methods of cultivation are passed down among the Feather Clan. Other clans rarely succeed in refining it. In recent years, even the Feather Clan has found it difficult to succeed.
This cultivator...
Whether during the auction or just now, Luo Luo Bird had always been watching the fun, and even laughed when he saw the performance of the weapon spirit. At this moment, his eyes widened. Could it be that this cultivator was also from the Feather Clan?
As everyone was thinking, the cultivator No. 6 Xu lowered his head, chanted a spell, and indeed a pair of wings grew out of his back. The Bifang Yang Fire instantly attached to them, making them sparkle with brilliant golden light.
This cultivator is indeed a demon cultivator from the Feather Clan!
Manager Zhu frowned. The two cultivators beside him were both in the middle stage of the Patrol Heaven Realm. Judging from the aura that this demon cultivator deliberately displayed, it seemed that he was in the early stage of the Patrol Heaven Realm, only a little lower than them, not much.
The human cultivators are powerful, but many of the demons have strange and fierce temperaments, which are very different from those of humans. Their realm is not overwhelming, which makes Manager Zhu dare not help but be wary.
Fortunately, he still had the Myriad Things Returning to Origin Formation. He stayed in the formation and stared closely at the opponent. As long as the formation was not broken, the opponent would be helpless against him.
The two patrolling monks from Wanxiangfang had already used their magic weapons to engage in a fight with the six demon cultivators from Xu.
The demon cultivator No. 6 Xu flapped his fire feathers and waved the Bifang Yang Fire towards them without mercy, which put the two patrolling cultivators under great pressure.
"Grow!" the demon cultivator chanted, and his wings grew several times larger. He chanted several times, "Grow! Grow! Grow!"
A pair of wings actually broke through the upper part of the entire building, revealing the dark sky!
Bai Lu saw that the ceiling was lifted up by the pair of golden wings, and her eyes widened a little. What a big bird.
It is bigger than the Lolo bird, it is an oversized bird!!
Moreover, the wings formed by the billowing flames looked like spicy wings, which almost made Bai Lu miss home.
Such a big commotion even alarmed the surrounding monks who did not participate in the treasure appreciation party. At the border of the two continents, there were many monks who were preparing to cross the sea, all waiting for the time.
I saw streams of light rising all around.
Because the ceiling was lifted, the monks of Xuanshan also floated in the air one by one, with their hair fluttering in the wind.
It was the first time that Luo Luo Bird saw such a strong fellow. He was envious, but also afraid of the other party's behavior and Yang Huo. After all, he was from the Xuanshan camp, and he was afraid that the other party would not feel a sense of fellowship when looking at him.
Manager Zhu said anxiously, "If you don't want to be hunted down by Wanxiangfang and have a life to rob but no life to use, then keep going! If you stop now, you can still give up."
The demon cultivator No. 6 Xu didn't care about that at all. He said in a fierce voice, "I have been looking for this witch clan relic for decades. Today, I want to see who can stop me!"
At this moment, a spell was cast, knocking off the hat that concealed the demon cultivator's face, revealing his true appearance. His face was covered with light golden lines, like cracks on porcelain falling to the ground.
"Return to Origin Pattern?" The cultivators present immediately reacted. No wonder this monster could fight against two middle-stage Patrol cultivators with its early-stage Patrol cultivation. Everyone originally thought it was because of the Bifang Yang Fire, but now it seems to be because of the Return to Origin Pattern.
Whenever a cultivator's life is about to end but he has not yet broken through, the lines of return to the origin will slowly appear on his face. His spiritual energy and vital energy will gradually dissipate from here until finally the whole person returns to heaven and earth.
It is also in the final period that strength will recover briefly, which can be said to be the last gasp of the cultivator.
Manager Zhu's heart sank. No wonder this demon cultivator was desperate, because he was really dying. The Five Elements Transformation Bell had just stirred up the spiritual energy into chaos, making it difficult to escape. As soon as the bell was broken, people started to flee one after another. Now, there was no one left who dared to watch the fun.
Ning Yanhu had already called out to his brother and sister: "Run, run, it's getting bad."
But it was too late. Monk No. 6 Xu picked up the fragments of the Five Elements Transformation Bell and squeezed them together, surrounding them with Yang Fire, as if repairing and refining it.
At the same time, the already large wings stretched out and expanded rapidly, as if covering the sky and the sun. Compared with his wings, the demon cultivator's body was almost negligible, and a tiny bit was hidden in the flames. He said in a hoarse voice: "The fire feathers hang in the sky, asking the world, what is eternal?!"
The wings vibrated, and the night sky was blocked out. All the people and the whole world, including Manager Zhu and his Wanxiang Guiyuan Formation, and a group of fleeing cultivators, were caught off guard and taken in by the demon cultivator's wings.
