Lin Xiang didn't know whether what these netizens said was true or false. If even such an out-of-this-world person wanted to enter the game, the secrets contained in "Ascension" must be much greater than he imagined!
He now desperately wants to find someone with whom he can actually chat, someone who can truly understand his current situation.
Because of his unique identity, Lin Xiang actually lacks a sense of belonging in the game.
As a sacrificial spirit and land god, the villagers simply revere, love and even believe in him, which creates an innate gap between them.
But in the eyes of players, he is just an NPC and there is no way to communicate with him.
He seemed to be out of tune with this world and had not fully integrated into it, because he actually looked at the other monks from the perspective of a player, treating them as NPCs, which made him feel resistant.
In fact, those monks are living beings, not just cold data.
Lin Xiang knew that his thoughts were wrong, so after encountering the iron-eating beast, he quickly captured it and turned it into an emotional sustenance for himself in this world.
The reason why humans are human is largely because they are social animals and need to communicate with other humans.
Knowing that this emotion is wrong, Lin Xiang currently has only these solutions.
"Maybe after the auction is over I should go back to Qingwei Sword Sect and contact Xu Man. I really should make some friends."
The identity of the sacrificial spirit is too special. He needs to remain mysterious and powerful in front of other monks, otherwise he will be targeted.
Therefore, it is best to use the sword cultivator vest.
He had already imagined himself doing justice and taking risks along the way.
Only when the sky was gray and brightened did Lin Xiang leave Eagle's Beak Peak.
All the worries from last night were easily dissolved.
He returned to the image of that mysterious master and placed the jade tokens for entering and exiting the Wanli Yellow Sand Array in the land temple so that players could collect them.
Those who need to mine will go mining, those who need to become apprentices will go becoming apprentices, and at the same time, the corresponding preparations for the auction are also in full swing.
There are a lot of cultivators coming and going in the Huanyu Market now. Some of them came to explore the way yesterday and then left, some stayed there, and some hurried here today.
The players were very familiar with setting up the auction venue, as office workers usually set up meeting rooms, venues and other things, and they managed to make an auction look very colorful.
The auctioneer was neither Lin Xiang nor Tan Mengru, but a male player named "Zhuge Wulang".
"Friend Zhuge, are you ready? Many customers have already entered the auction." Lin Xiang said with a smile, "If you are nervous, how about I give you an amulet?"
Zhuge Wulang actually had no auction experience, but he was a student in the broadcasting and hosting department. He had been standing on the stage to host various evening parties since elementary school, so he was not stage-shy.
After hearing what Ji Ling said, he immediately agreed: "Thank you, Master Ji Ling. If I had the amulet, I would be more confident."
"Don't worry on the stage, no one can hurt you in the slightest." Lin Xiang took out the jade token he had refined yesterday and injected a trace of divine power into it.
As long as the person who gets the jade token stands in his temple, he will automatically be protected, and other cultivators, monsters, and players will not be able to hurt him.
Of course, this kind of prop is too buggy. It is not a permanent prop, but a limited-time prop for twelve hours.
Even so, Zhuge Wulang was still very happy. After the auction, he could use this jade token to kill powerful monsters and demons!
"Thank you, Master Jiling."
Zhuge Wulang thanked him sincerely. He happily placed the jade token in his arms, and he suddenly felt more secure.
As a player, he is not afraid of death, but he is very afraid of pain.
You can be resurrected after death, but you don’t want to endure the pain of being killed before death.
Lin Xiang then said to Mo Jiao and Tan Mengru beside him, "I won't be attending the auction today, so the two of you will be responsible for the safety of the auction."
The black dragon is okay, it has the mentality of a child. It is certainly better to watch the excitement than to be a beast in the water or on the eaves.
In comparison, Tan Mengru was much more surprised. Although she had been diligently practicing the "Tongyou Jue" on the Yinchaling, she had never had the chance to put it into practice.
I simply don't believe that just a few days of practice can compare to these legendary immortals.
Even though she already knew that these were just cultivators whose goal was to become immortals.
"Me? I'm afraid I'm not strong enough. Let Lord Mo Jiao do it." Tan Mengru waved her hands repeatedly. She was a respected female doctor in her lifetime and had never fought with others.
Now that she is dead, she is a little hesitant to take action against those cultivators.
Lin Xiang encouraged him, "Although you're relatively weak now, you have the support of our Land Temple. Do you remember your identity? The Soul-Catching Rope is your life-saving magical weapon. It can restrain these cultivators."
Even someone as powerful as the Monkey King would have his soul taken away by the Soul-Catching Rope. Even if Tan Mengru is not as strong as the Black and White Impermanence, the other cultivators are not the Monkey King either.
"Yes, there is also this thing." Tan Mengru has been busy building, developing and improving the Universal Market, and almost forgot her identity as a ghost messenger.
She even often forgets that she is dead, because apart from not needing to eat or sleep, she is no different from a living person.
The players, monks, and villagers in the market town have always been very respectful to her, and she has never had the opportunity to use the Soul-Catching Rope.
Lin Xiang checked the time and said to the others, "Hurry up and go to the auction. This auction will definitely be a success."
But he still has something very important to do, which is to recruit the second Yincha.
…
People were coming and going in the Huanyu Market. Inside the auction venue, Lin Xiang had specially set up formations and restrictions to isolate spiritual consciousness.
Cultivators who are willing to reveal their true identities do not need to activate it, but cultivators who want to hide their identities need to use this formation to prevent the Foundation Establishment Pill and Rejuvenation Pill that they have worked so hard to obtain from others.
One after another, monks in black robes and hoods, or wearing masks, took out invitations and entered their own compartments.
Xu Huiyun and other monks from major sects showed their true colors openly. They came not only to buy things, but also to socialize.
"Xu Xianzi, you are still as beautiful as ever after not seeing you for so many years. I wonder if you still remember me?"
"Old Xie, it's been almost fifty years since we last met, hasn't it? How did you age so much? Were you seduced by those seductresses from Misty Rain Tower?"
Xu Huiyun said this jokingly. She was not polite at all when she was talking to her old friend.
Xie Honglu next to her really looked like two generations apart, with white hair but a rosy complexion.
"It's been so long since we last met, and you're still so sharp-tongued, Fairy Xu. I'm glad I didn't marry you into the Xie family back then." Xie Honglu continued, "I was injured while trying to reach the late stage of foundation building a few years ago. I'm afraid my lifespan won't be long enough to see me through to the golden elixir stage. We might never meet again."
"You old man, you're talking like who would want to marry into your Xie family. No matter how famous the Nanxi Xie family is, it can't compare to our Wanmiao Pavilion. What are you planning to buy at this auction? There's nothing here that can increase your lifespan."
Xie Honglu didn't want others to hear his inner voice. He knew Xu Huiyun's goals didn't conflict with his own, so he transmitted his message, "I'm planning to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for my nephew. He's my younger brother's only child, but his spiritual roots aren't very good. My family won't give him the precious Foundation Establishment Pill, so I can only think of a solution here. I also want to buy a few thousand-year-old fire dates to see if they can heal the damage to my meridians."
"If you're short of money, could you lend me some, Fairy? I'm willing to use my top-grade magical tool, the Quicksand Gourd, as collateral."
Reminiscing about the past is one aspect, and seeking external assistance is another.
Xie Honglu didn't expect there to be so many people at the scene, and the competitive pressure suddenly increased, so he needed to find a backup.
He knew that Xu Huiyun was actually very wealthy, did not spend much, and was a well-known talisman master who could draw mid-grade talismans.
The Quicksand Gourd has been a magical tool that he has been using with great ease for many years, but for the sake of family bloodline inheritance, he is willing to mortgage it.
"We'll see what happens then. I must prioritize getting what I want."
This time, Xu Huiyun is not just planning to take a photo of one anti-aging pill, but is planning to take as many photos as possible.
Why can't the spirit stones she earned by drawing talismans and taking risks in secret realms and exploring ancient caves please herself? She just doesn't like getting old, and she is not doing this to please some men, but to make herself happy.
A war broke out between the Yaowang Sect, which controlled the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Dagan. The elixirs that were relatively easy to buy in the past became scarce, not to mention the Rejuvenating Pill and the Foundation Establishing Pill.
Xu Huiyun knew that Da Gan had been secretly mobilizing monks from various sects. Once the real battle began, the other party would not sell the elixirs to her, not even after the war.
In order to avoid having to worry about the Rejuvenating Pill in the future, she decided to take pictures of both pills just in case.
Time soon came to Si (sì), which was nine o'clock in the morning.
The auction venue was officially closed to entry and exit. Monks who did not receive invitations could only wait outside the door, and players were unable to enter this mysterious place to watch.
Fortunately, Zhuge Wulang, as the auctioneer, has turned on the recording function of the game and is preparing to make an exclusive video.
Many players and netizens are interested in the auction items and auction prices in the world of cultivation. It is even the place where the highlights take place in various cultivation novels.
He bowed slightly to the monks and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to the first auction held in the Huanyu Market. On behalf of Master Ji Ling, I promise you that this will not be the only one..."
Lin Xiang's goal is to make this auction bigger and stronger. Not only can he sell items he has obtained and crafted, but he can also take on adventures from other cultivators and even players, collect commissions from them and expand his influence.
As players' strength increases, they can obtain more spirit stones. Rich players or other powerful players can quickly gather assets from other players and participate in the auction in the market.
They can be both buyers and sellers.
There are always some players who look down on ordinary low-grade magic weapons and set their sights on mid-grade or even high-grade magic weapons. They may even want to buy some special items, special skills, etc.
The public beta will be held right after the auction. As the auction progresses, a large number of players have put on virtual helmets, watching the countdown images, and preparing to enter the world of "Ascension"!
The author has something to say:
I'm sorry to everyone, there are only 3,000 words updated today, and I will try to update 10,000 words tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
There was a flu outbreak recently, and the author was unfortunately infected. He had a fever, a stuffy nose, a headache, etc., so he really couldn't write too much.
I hope all the little cuties pay more attention to safety, wear masks and don’t get hit by the flu.
