"Ignorance," the eldest brother scolded. "I've already told you that Mr. Zhu is an otherworldly expert, perhaps even an immortal cultivator. It's nothing strange that he could live for hundreds of years. You've already joined the Divine Sword Sect, and you don't even have this much awareness. Practice hard. When the opportunity arises, perhaps we too can ascend to immortality in the future."
…
At this time, Tang Xiaobao was also asking the fat man the same question.
The fat man explained, "Back then, the founder of the Divine Sword Sect received my guidance. They all thought that it was because of me that he was able to attain enlightenment and become an immortal."
Tang Xiaobao was stunned: "What did you say? Their ancestor became an immortal?"
"They lied to me, and you believe that?" The fat man curled his lips. "In fact, he didn't become an immortal at all. He died while he was out. I guess he had an accident."
"Ah?" Tang Xiaobao was stunned and a little confused.
The fat man said impatiently, "Let me tell you this. In this world, apart from some spirits and ghosts, you are probably the only real human who can become an immortal. The innate energy is hard to come by once every billion years. It is impossible for anyone on Earth to succeed in cultivating immortality."
"Then they still practice Taoism?" Tang Xiaobao was puzzled.
The fat man laughed and said, "This is called deceiving oneself. If they want to do something, then let them do it. After all, their ancestors really saw gods in the past, so they believe it without a doubt."
"Have you ever seen a god? Which one?"
"It's far away in the sky, but it's right in front of us." said the fat man proudly.
There is nothing wrong with what he said, he is indeed a genuine god.
But a downtrodden phoenix is no better than a chicken. Tang Xiaobao curled his lips: "You, you're a god?"
"I can fly." The fat man said proudly, "How could he not believe it?"
"So there's such a connection. No wonder the auction had to wait until you arrived before it even started." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile, "Looks like there's a good chance. I'll have to ask them to leave some valuables for me."
The fat man was speechless.
This is trying to play with privilege! No one can be more shameless than Tang Xiaobao.
The cave was very complexly constructed, like a tunnel. The rocks on both sides were as smooth as if cut by a knife. Tang Xiaobao was amazed.
Not long after they walked, Tang Xiaobao stopped and exclaimed, "Holy crap, is this a night-shining pearl?"
On the rocks to one side, there was a thumb-sized night-shining pearl. For some unknown reason, it emitted a strong light. Tang Xiaobao could no longer walk. He licked his lips, grabbed the night-shining pearl, and said with a chuckle, "You're lucky to have picked up a night-shining pearl."
The fat man is ashamed.
Did you pick this up?
"Put it down, put it down." The fat man said quickly.
Tang Xiaobao didn't let go and said, "I picked it up, so it's mine. I never thought there really are night pearls in the world."
"What's so special about this? Put it down quickly. This is for lighting. There are more in front, but the quality is not good and the size is too small. If you want it, I will give you a big one later. It's this big." The fat man gestured with his fist.
A fist-sized night pearl?
Tang Xiaobao was extremely excited and immediately put the thumb-sized night-shining pearl back to its place: "You said you would give it to me when you get back."
The fat man looked at me with disdain: "You are obviously unworldly. This thing has no value to me. If you want it, I will give it to you."
"How much do you have?" Tang Xiaobao asked with a lewd look on his face.
The fat man's mouth twitched. "How many are there? Of course there's only one. The things I collect are almost all rare in the world. Although they have no practical value, they must be unique. Let me tell you, mine is the only one in the world. Of course, in heaven, it's garbage."
Tang Xiaobao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, one is enough. You have to give it to me when the time comes. It's a deal."
The fat man turned around and continued walking.
Tang Xiaobao followed behind, constantly sighing along the way.
It really is a big sect, so luxurious.
He counted them and found that there were more than twenty of them in the tunnel, almost one every ten meters or so.
Finally, the fat man brought Tang Xiaobao to a stone chamber.
At the entrance to the stone chamber stood a middle-aged man with an immortal appearance and the air of a cultivator. He was outstanding and saluted the fat man respectfully: "Greetings, Grand Elder."
"No thanks, I never agreed to be an elder." The fat man waved his hand.
The middle-aged man retreated.
Tang Xiaobao looked around.
The stone chamber is not big, with a stone table and stone benches. There is a window on the front wall, through which you can clearly see the auction venue below.
Below was a hall, covering several hundred square meters, where dozens of guests who came to participate in the auction were already seated. Some of them were wearing modern clothes, while others were wearing long robes. After the fat man's introduction, Tang Xiaobao knew that those wearing long robes were also from hidden sects.
In the center of the hall, there is a platform with a stone table on it, a red cloth spread on the table, and an auctioneer's hammer.
A little later, an old man from Xianfengdao Valley walked into the stone house with five or six men and women dressed similarly. The leader was estimated to be in his eighties or nineties. Although he could not achieve immortality, he was in excellent health. His face was rosy, his hair and beard were white, but he looked quite energetic. He bowed respectfully and said, "Meng Yizi, the fifth-generation leader of the Shenxian Sect, greets the Grand Elder. The Elder has not returned to the sect for many years."
The fat man glanced at Meng Yizi and said, "Alright, alright, let's forget about these mundane formalities. The auction can begin now. I'm here to participate in the auction, not to see you."
Fatty Zhu was not polite at all towards Meng Yizi.
But Mengyazi was not angry either, and seemed to understand the fat man's temper very well.
Everyone behind him bowed respectfully.
After that, Mengyazi dismissed everyone, leaving only the middle-aged disciple who stayed here at the beginning.
The latter held a set of tea sets in his hand, placed them on the stone table, and retreated to the door.
"Since Elder Zhu is here, let's get started." Meng Yizi ordered with a smile.
The man responded and walked out.
Mengyazi began to brew tea. The tea was grown on the mountain, but his tea-making skills were extraordinary, and the tea he brewed had a subtle fragrance.
Tang Xiaobao was a little thirsty, so he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He held out the cup and said, "Another one, this cup is too small and won't quench my thirst."
sweat!
Meng Yizi had never asked who Tang Xiaobao was. Seeing Tang Xiaobao being so rude, he looked at Fatty Zhu with a strange expression.
Fatty Zhu glared and said, "Didn't you listen to what my brother said? Hurry up and pour the tea."
brother?
Mengyazi was shocked.
As the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, he naturally knew that Fatty Zhu was an otherworldly master who had lived for at least hundreds of years, but did not look old at all.
Isn’t Fatty Zhu’s brother also a hermit?
He immediately looked at Tang Xiaobao with admiration.
"Senior, please have some tea."
Wuyazi poured tea while showing respect to the younger generation.
Tang Xiaobao felt a little awkward. He couldn't get used to being called a senior by a man in his seventies.
However, Tang Xiaobao did not explain.
Isn’t it great to have the opportunity to show off, put on airs, and use your privileges?
Tang Xiaobao drank it all in one gulp, and Meng Yizi came over again to pour tea.
