"The Tianji Peak is ahead."
Lu Qing looked up and saw that Tianji Peak, as one of the main peaks of Tianshu City, was also very huge.
It is much larger than the holy mountain in my hometown world.
It just lacks the unique pressure of the holy mountain.
On the top of the mountain, there stands a huge and majestic building. That is the venue of the auction.
However, the auction had not yet officially started, so Lu Qing and Taoist Wubao planned to stroll around Tianji Peak first.
Tianji Peak is one of the main peaks of Tianshu City, and its main function is to manage wealth.
There are not only auctions on the mountain, but also various restaurants, magic weapon and elixir shops, etc.
It is a very important source of wealth and income for Tianshu City.
Walking on Tianji Peak, Lu Qing already felt that there were many powerful people around him.
Although everyone has tried their best to restrain their aura, the Taoist aura they possess still shows how extraordinary they are.
After walking around for a while, Lu Qing suddenly saw a large open square with many people sitting cross-legged on the ground with some things that looked like goods in front of them.
"Master, where are these people?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
He could see that the monks sitting cross-legged on the ground also had strong cultivation bases.
Although most of them are cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there are also some powerful Golden Core Stage cultivators among them.
"They are setting up stalls." Taoist Wubao said after taking a look.
"Setting up a stall?" Lu Qing was stunned when he heard the word.
"Yes, it's just a stall."
While Lu Qing was in seclusion to comprehend the sword intent, Taoist Wubao did not stay idle in the cave, but went outside to collect information.
So now, although he is not very familiar with the situation in Tianshu City, he has a general understanding of the situation.
“You know, the treasure auction hosted by Tianshu City has very high requirements for treasures.
Many of the treasures that monks obtained through their adventures in the sacred mountain were of too low a value or their value could not be determined.
Basically, they cannot be put up for auction.
But they were unwilling to sell them at a low price to shops that collected treasures.
So I just set up a stall here and see if I can sell the treasures.
Of course, it is not free for them to set up stalls here, they need to pay a certain fee to Tianshu City. "
"Oh, that's quite interesting."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately became interested, picked up Xiao Li, and walked forward.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, you have to be careful."
Taoist Wubao saw Lu Qing's curious look and hurriedly followed him, whispering.
"These guys who set up stalls are all experienced. Not only is the value of the things they sell unknown, but they may even be fakes. If you like something, you must be careful to identify it and don't buy it rashly."
"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded slightly.
There is no real fool among those who can cultivate to this level.
What's more, these monks who have been adventuring in the Tianshu Divine Mountain for many years, if they had simple minds, they would have been wiped out during the adventures.
The two walked into the square without attracting any attention.
After all, there were quite a few people in the square at this time, and the aura they revealed was not that strong, it was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core realm.
He was not conspicuous among the monks strolling in the square.
"Xiao Li, you can sense this place, is there any special treasure?"
Lu Qing used his soul to transmit his voice and spoke softly to Xiao Li.
When he entered the square, his special powers had already been activated.
However, there are many stalls in this square, and there are quite a lot of things on each stall.
He couldn't really stare at them one by one, as that would easily arouse other people's vigilance.
Therefore, he planned to let Xiaoli use his magical sensing ability to pick out the more special treasures among them.
He then used his supernatural powers to investigate, so the efficiency would be higher.
“Let me try!”
Xiao Li became excited when he heard this.
He immediately closed his eyes and sensed it carefully with his innate unique treasure-hunting ability.
Lu Qing, on the other hand, looked as if nothing had happened. He was holding Xiao Li and strolling leisurely in the square.
Not long after, Xiao Li opened his eyes with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Ah Qing, I found something!"
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly." Lu Qing transmitted the message calmly.
“The stalls here basically have the aura of treasures, but the aura of most treasures is not strong, and the grade is only average.
However, I can sense that there are some quite unusual treasures on some of the stalls.
The first stall is in the southeast direction..."
Listening to Xiao Li's voice transmission, Lu Qing walked slowly towards the southeast as if nothing had happened.
Finally, under Xiaoli's guidance, I saw the stall it mentioned.
However, he did not go to the stall immediately. Instead, he stood not far away and observed it quietly with his peripheral vision.
After watching for a while, Lu Qing's body shook slightly and a hint of surprise emerged in his heart.
Fortunately, he had strong control and quickly suppressed his shock, without letting the Wubao Taoist priest beside him notice it.
Then, Lu Qing continued to observe secretly and did not go over directly.
After more than ten breaths, his eyebrows raised again, as if he had discovered some interesting information, and a smile appeared on his face.
Soon, a plan slowly emerged in his mind.
Slowly began to approach the stall that Xiaoli mentioned.
But this time, he still didn't go directly to the stall.
I came to a relatively deserted stall next to it and looked around slowly.
"Two seniors, is there anything you like?
All these treasures of mine were obtained through hard exploration in the sacred mountain.
There were many times when I narrowly escaped death and almost lost my life!"
The stall owner is a middle-aged cultivator who has reached the perfect stage of foundation building.
Seeing Lu Qing and Wubao Taoist standing in front of his stall, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically.
Although he looks much older than Lu Qing and Wubao Taoist.
But in the world of cultivation, what is respected is the level of cultivation, and appearance has never been the standard for measuring seniority.
The aura exuded by the two young men in front of him was much stronger than his.
So naturally, he put himself in a low position and regarded himself as a junior.
"Let's take a look first." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Naturally, I didn't believe what these old foxes said.
But he didn't show it on his face.
"Okay, senior, take your time to look around. If there's anything that catches your eye, tell me and I'll sell it to you at a low price!"
The stall owner was still very enthusiastic.
Lu Qing slowly looked at the things on the ground, and soon, layers of supernatural light emerged.
One message after another appeared in his field of vision.
Then he discovered that Xiao Li's sensing ability was indeed magical.
The things in this stall were indeed ordinary, and the supernatural light they emitted was mostly red and gold.
The few purple ones were all quite dim.
This means that the things in here are not of high quality.
He even saw a few white lights emerging from among them.
Obviously, it is an ordinary item that is worthless and cannot even be considered a spiritual object.
It is very likely that the stall owner put it there on purpose to deceive people.
However, Lu Qing did not expose it. Instead, after looking at it for a while, he picked up one of the magic weapons that looked like a prayer wheel.
"Fellow Daoist, how much is this magic weapon for?"
The prayer wheel that Lu Qing picked up looked ancient, with ancient runes engraved on it, and it seemed very mysterious.
And in Lu Qing's field of vision, what emerged were the rare items of purple grade in this stall.
But what’s strange is that the grade of this magic weapon is only at the level of a magic tool.
This shows that this treasure is not as simple as it seems.
Although the grade is not high, there is something else inside.
When the stall owner saw Lu Qing picking up the prayer wheel, a hint of joy flashed across his eyes, but was quickly suppressed.
Then, a somewhat sad look appeared on his face: "To be honest with you, Senior, this treasure was obtained by me when I went on an expedition to the sacred mountain with a close friend many years ago.
That year, my good friend and I went to Tianshu Mountain to look for treasure, but we ended up entering an unknown small space cave by mistake.
In that space cave, there are extremely ferocious beasts guarding it.
My good friend and I went through life and death before we finally killed the ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast is guarding a prayer wheel and a golden bell.
My friend and I took the two treasures away, and after we came out, the small space cave collapsed and disappeared.
Finally, my good friend and I divided the treasures and went our separate ways to heal our wounds in seclusion.
But when the younger generation recovered from his injuries and came out of seclusion, he heard a very sad news.
My good friend died of severe injuries and passed away in his own cave.
For many years afterwards, whenever the younger generation saw this prayer wheel, they would be reminded of my good friend and feel filled with regret.
If I had been able to do better back then, I could have blocked more attacks from ferocious beasts for my friend.
Perhaps, my good friend would not have passed away due to his serious injuries.
Over the years, this has become an obsession in the minds of the younger generation, almost becoming a demon in their hearts.
If this continues, and I am obsessed with this, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive the golden elixir catastrophe.
So although I am reluctant to part with it, I still decided to sell this prayer wheel."
"I didn't expect that you would have such a sad experience. Please accept my condolences."
Hearing the stall owner's sad tone, Lu Qing's face showed a moved expression, and he quickly spoke to comfort him.
On the contrary, the Taoist Wubao standing next to him had a strange look in his eyes.
“Senior, this prayer wheel originally had great significance to me. After all, it was obtained during my last expedition with my good friend.
But unfortunately, it has now become an obsession for the younger generation, hindering their path.
As a last resort, I can only sell it at a low price."
The stall owner said with a sad look on his face.
"It's okay, fellow Daoist, just name a price. If it's suitable, I will buy it." Lu Qing said directly.
"This..." However, the stall owner hesitated, "To be honest, I don't know the value of this prayer wheel.
Although it is only a magical tool, the runes engraved on it are very mysterious.
I have consulted many monks who are proficient in rune formations, but no one can recognize the origin of this rune.
And it originally came from the mysterious space cave in the sacred mountain.
So it is difficult for younger generations to put a price on it, as to how much it is worth.
Why don't you name a price and I'll see if it's suitable."
"Is that so?" Lu Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "Although this item is just a magical tool, it is quite pleasing to my eyes.
In addition, it is of extraordinary significance to you, so I will boldly offer a price.
One thousand low-grade spirit stones, I wonder if you are willing to give them up?"
"One thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
The stall owner hadn't said anything yet, but the Taoist Wubao beside him was shocked.
He said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, this price is too high. It's just a magic weapon. With this price, you can buy a low-grade treasure.
Who knows whether what this guy said is true or made up.
Fellow Daoist, please don't be fooled by these guys' random words. "
Taoist Wubao was a little anxious, fearing that Lu Qing would be deceived by this guy.
To be honest, he even found it strange why Lu Qing was interested in such a small magical weapon.
A mere magic weapon is of no use to Jindan realm powerhouses like them.
The spells they cast at will are much more powerful than the power of magic weapons.
The stall owner was already delighted when he heard Lu Qing's offer.
But after hearing what Taoist Wubao said, he suddenly became angry.
I wanted to strike this talkative Taoist priest with a sword on the spot.
But he could only think about it in his mind.
Taoist Wubao is a powerful man in the Jindan realm, and he is only in the foundation building realm. He can be killed with just one finger.
So the stall owner not only did not dare to show his anger, but also had to suppress it very carefully.
He kept the sad look on his face and said, "Yes, Senior, the price is too high. A magic weapon does not require so many spirit stones. Please lower the price a bit."
"It's okay. Money can't buy what you love. I really like this prayer wheel. Plus, it's a treasured item of yours, so I'll just give it one thousand low-grade spirit stones."
Lu Qing said it very generously.
After saying that, he took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage bag.
"Fellow Daoist, here are ten middle-grade spirit stones. Please tap them gently."
Medium-grade spirit stone!
The stall owner was delighted again when he saw the spirit stone that Lu Qing took out.
The conversion rate between medium-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones is one to one hundred.
But in fact, what cultivators prefer are naturally the mid-grade spirit stones with rich spiritual charm.
"Thank you, Senior. This prayer wheel now belongs to you."
Although he wanted to grab the spirit stone immediately, the stall owner still forced himself to hold back.
He carefully took the spirit stone from Lu Qing's hand, looking at the prayer wheel with a reluctant look on his face.
Only after knowing that Lu Qing had put away the prayer wheel did he slowly withdraw his gaze.
After putting away the prayer wheel, Lu Qing continued his stroll.
This time, he finally arrived at the stall that Xiao Li mentioned.
