For a moment, Shen Lian was a little stunned.
This was the first magical weapon he had refined, so naturally he couldn't make a mistake.
While Shen Lian was hesitating, the cultivators below could no longer sit still. The embryo of a quasi-third-tier magic weapon was a rare treasure that could not be found easily.
"One hundred thousand spirit stones."
Before Master Yunhe could name a price, a cultivator in one of the private rooms spoke up.
"I'll give you 150,000."
Another cold and loud voice sounded from another box.
…
Yun He suspended the bell directly in the air, allowing each cultivator to examine it at will with their spiritual thoughts.
Shen Lian's spiritual thoughts were also mixed in, and the clear depressions on the surface of the bell were still there.
That's right.
It is the small bell he made.
During the sensing, the internal restrictions of the bell were intact, but the fire energy generated by refining was no longer there.
This means that the bell has been sacrificed and then all traces of the sacrifice have been erased.
This item was prepared by Master Huoyu for his granddaughter. He had seen the girl in red before.
A very spiritual little girl.
Now it seems that either Huoyu is dead or the girl in red is dead.
As for the possibility of being sold by Huoyu, it is not high. Nanya is too far away from Tianzhu Mountain. As an elder of a sect, Huoyu Zhenren is practicing in the mining area, so how could he be short of spirit stones?
Shen Lian did not have any collecting complex for his first practice work, but it was very unexpected to see this little bell again from a long distance after several years.
However, facing the bids from many people present, Master Yunhe smiled calmly, waved his hand and threw the bell upwards, and it hung above the auction table like a red fireball.
"If any fellow Taoist has a spiritual object or method to make up for the foundation of the Golden Elixir Dao, I will give it to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the monks who were still holding back their desire to make bids stopped bidding one by one.
I won’t tell you directly, as for setting this threshold.
Seeing that the auction was once again a flop, Master Yunhe sighed softly.
"This quasi-third-level magic weapon embryo has a starting price of 50,000 low-grade spirit stones."
In fact, for the embryo of a magic weapon, the starting price doesn’t matter at all. Master Yunhe just said a number at random.
"One hundred thousand."
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"Two hundred thousand!"
In just a few breaths, the auction price exceeded that of the dazzling divine crystal.
There is no way. The divine crystal stone is still a raw material and is not very big in size. The bell in front of him is the embryo of a real magic weapon.
Bring it back to your family and sect, and it will definitely appreciate in value in the future.
Shen Lian looked at the bidding of the fake pill cultivators above. At this moment, it was not just fake pills. Some foundation-building cultivators who were in the box like him also started bidding.
It has to be said that the quality of the auction in Nanya Fairy City is really too high, with second-level fine products and third-level spiritual objects appearing.
The key is that such auctions only happen once a month.
Moreover, the cultivators traveling to and from the Immortal City can eat all the spiritual objects.
This is not a fairy city, it’s simply a treasure pot.
Shen Lian leaned back on the couch, quietly listening to the bidding of the monks below.
The magic weapon embryo was so popular that its price quickly climbed to 280,000 low-grade spirit stones.
This price already exceeds that of some lower-grade third-level magic weapons.
In the end, Shen Lian’s small bell was auctioned for three hundred thousand spirit stones.
At the same time, soft light fell in the auction hall, and the aura of some monks was also mobilized, and their eyes became more and more excited.
Shen Lian frowned as he looked at the scene in the conference hall. It was very normal for one's emotions to be aroused by high-level spiritual objects. When the Golden Core Patriarch was suppressing Haitang, his emotions also fluctuated.
This cannot prove that the soft light formation has evil intentions.
"clang!"
"clang!"
With a few crisp sounds, the door of the auction venue reopened and the entire auction ended.
Some of the monks present had joy on their faces, while others were hiding and worried.
It was at this moment that divine thoughts intertwined in the auction venue and began to fall on certain cultivators, including more than a dozen of them falling on Shen Lian.
This number is really a bit too much.
On the auction stage, Master Yunhe hid his hands in his wide sleeves and watched the monks retreat with a smile on his face.
He looked towards the figures in the field calmly.
The gaze was very obscure. The monks who received the gaze mixed in with the other monks and headed outside.
After all the monks present had left, the door was closed again.
In the blink of an eye, a young man appeared on the auction table.
"There are only five five-element spiritual roots, and there is only one five-element fellow cultivator."
Master Yunhe did not move, "Go ahead, be careful."
"Don't worry." Yun Lang chuckled, "Didn't the previous auctions prove that spiritual objects can move people's hearts?
This time we released magic weapon embryos, soul ores, five elements magic tools, and there are alien formations secretly affecting the mind, how could these people resist not taking action. "
After saying this, Yun Lang floated away.
…
In the city, Shen Lian walked on the street, looking at the monks who were dispersing.
As a person who spent hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at an auction and purchased a variety of mineral spiritual materials in succession, it is understandable that he was targeted.
But with so many people staring at each other throughout the venue, that was a problem.
"This formation is powerful."
Thinking of this, Shen Lian quickly headed out of the city and dived into the ocean.
At the same time, after seeing Shen Lian rushing into the ocean, several waves of cultivators in front and behind also headed in the direction he left.
The first wave was a fake Dan in a black robe.
The second wave came from Master Qianshui and the blind old woman.
The third wave is a white-robed female fake Dan.
Even a few foundation-building cultivators caught up, but in the end they had to give up because they fell behind.
At this moment, not only was he being followed, but the monks who had purchased the Five Elements Compass and the small bell were also being followed from a distance by several waves of monks.
In the vast ocean, Shen Lian sensed the cultivators following him from behind. He didn't care, but he became more and more certain that the mysterious formation had the effect of corroding his mind.
Even a third-rank formation master like him cannot currently set up such a formation. It seems that there is a master behind the auction.
"How can this kid run so fast?"
The black-robed Fake Dan was chasing and muttering. He could sense that there was someone following him, but since he was also a Fake Dan, he was not afraid.
Whether or not one can get the opportunity depends on one's own means.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, this young man's speed is stronger than my fake pill. It seems that he has a great opportunity."
A deep female voice sounded, causing the black robe fake pill to slow down slightly.
"Why, Brother Xu wants to join forces?"
The moment the black-robed fake pill paused, a white-robed female cultivator flew over from afar.
"It would be bad to tell others that a fake Dan is coveting the spiritual objects of a junior."
The white-robed female cultivator Xu Lian looked indifferently, "This is not an ordinary junior, and it's not just you and I who are thinking about him."
"Okay, let's join forces."
After a brief exchange, the two reached a cooperation intention.
"Take him."
Under the sea in another direction, there was a barely perceptible trace of bloodshot in Master Qianshui's eyes. Standing opposite him were the blind old woman and the bartender.
"Ping'er, please go back to the city and wait. I will go with Daoist Fellow Qianshui."
…
On the sea, a black light fled along the water surface and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Such an astonishing speed made the monks traveling on the sea open their eyes in amazement and show expressions of awe.
There are many islands in the coastal waters. Shen Lian's smile gradually faded in the black light until a messy deserted island appeared in front of him, and then he smiled again.
The figure split into two in an instant, one directly sank into the sea outside the island, and the other turned into a stream of light, rushed into the island, and directly merged into the depths of the earth.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Not long after, several streaks of light appeared on the deserted island, more than ten miles apart and on guard against each other.
However, while many figures on the island were searching vigilantly, in the water below the island, a gelatinous magic weapon the same color as the sea water merged with the sea water and moved quickly without being blocked by the sea water.
Inside the magic weapon, there was a figure sitting cross-legged, holding a one-foot-long spiritual incense in his hand. After the incense burned, it did not produce curling green smoke, but instead formed a vague and hideous shadow, emitting a silent roar.
The roar was silent, but it caused illusory sound ripples to spread in the sea water, from the sea water to the void, and spread to the sea area within a radius of hundreds of miles.
In the sea, the fish, shrimps and crabs moving around, after being touched by the sound wave ripples, originally wandering leisurely, suddenly rushed towards other aquatic creatures around them and started fighting.
…
Under the raging water.
Shen Lian brought the Five Elements Spirit Puppets back and sensed figures rushing onto the island from two directions underwater.
There was nothing wrong with the monks following him, but the Taoist friend who burned incense in the water was not authentic at all.
Auction, alien formation, strange incense.
It is obvious that someone is playing chess. From foundation building to fake elixir, they are all chess pieces. Most likely, it is closely related to the new city lord.
This also involves the five elements of spiritual roots.
A faint smell of blood spread out from underwater. These ordinary fish, shrimps and crabs had little spiritual power, so they were affected by the slightest impact.
Then, as Shen Lian's thought flashed, his figure quietly merged into the water and fled into the distance.
A chess piece...if it cannot become a golden elixir, it will ultimately be just a small chess piece that can be played around with at will in the South China Sea.
He didn't want to be involved in the plan of Lord Yunlan.
If the golden elixir doesn't enter the stomach, it will just passively fall into the hands of these people.
Fuck you.
Buying a spiritual object still requires such calculations.
Dan formation!
Must form the elixir!
With this thought in mind, Shen Lian quickly headed towards the Fuqiu sea area.
…
Deep coastal waters.
On the sea cliffs at the edge of an island where a secular town is located, huge waves are hitting the cliffs.
A figure in a white dress stood there, with a faint white mist covering her whole body, quietly looking at the distant sea.
Soon, a streak of light came rapidly from the end of the sea and sky, and landed on the cliff in the blink of an eye.
"Yun Lang, you are late."
A cold voice sounded.
Master Yun Lang was stunned. He moved his mouth and wanted to explain, but nothing came out.
Although Jiadan Zhenren is a thug in the sect, his status is ultimately not comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator.
It is not easy to collect fake elixir monks without being noticed.
At every auction, it would be enough if we could collect one or two. This way, we can make it appear that the person died trying to snatch spiritual objects, and we won’t have to worry about rumors when the story gets out.
"I'll be quick."
Yun Lang opened his mouth and took out a storage jade box from his waist and handed it to the woman.
When the woman opened the storage jade box, inside was a fake alchemy monk with wide eyes.
"Sometimes why do we need to distinguish between good and evil so clearly?"
After putting the jade box away, the woman said calmly, "What matters to the family is the result."
"If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, the longer you delay, the more you will be exposed. If you can succeed, no one will doubt or dare to doubt Yuanying Zhenjun."
Yun Lang's expression changed, revealing a hint of worry.
"The five spiritual root cultivators must also search as soon as possible, as this is related to retrieving the five element magic weapon lost in the Ten Thousand Star Sea."
…
Ten days later, Shen Lian had rushed into the Fuqiu sea area from the coastal waters. He would choose a sea area here as his place of promotion.
There are few islands in Fuqiu Sea, so Shen Lian headed west as soon as he entered the sea.
Aoyang Islands in Fuqiu Sea.
This place is more than 50,000 miles away from the border between the coastal waters and the Fuqiu sea area, and it is more than 100,000 miles away across the Siren Sea.
In the past, this archipelago was very prosperous, but after the sea tribe destroyed the spiritual veins and blew up the islands, it became a place lacking spiritual energy.
Without spiritual energy and having suffered destruction, even the foundation-building monks rarely come here.
The Aoyang Islands were very large in the past, spanning a thousand miles from north to south and seven or eight hundred miles from east to west. After its destruction, the area became just a few small broken islands that were scattered above the sea.
What the sea clan did was too ruthless. After the destruction, even ordinary people could not survive on it.
After patrolling around this sea area for a few days, Shen Lian figured out the overall picture of the archipelago today, and there were still more than 300 islands that were still visible above water.
On the island, Shen Lian also discovered some monster beasts such as monster crabs, but their levels were not high.
After rechecking the archipelago and the seabed, he discovered a destroyed spiritual vein deep in a small island in the central area of the archipelago.
The spiritual vein was broken and split into hundreds of remnants of varying sizes.
This small island is the remnant of the original Aoyang main island. It is only thirty miles long and is dotted with deep potholes.
Each deep hole was dug deep into the island, cutting off the underground spiritual veins.
"That's it."
After coming up from the depths of the island, Shen Lian made a decision in his heart.
Before that, he needs to clean up this ruined archipelago.
In the following time, bursts of spiritual light continued to appear in various places on the island, from the main island to the surrounding islands, and not much light fell.
Xuanshui Long River Formation.
Gold and Water Sky Sword Formation.
The water and sky are reversed in the Xuankong formation.
Five Elements Forbidden Formation.
In Shen Lian's hands, formations were embedded into the islands and reefs, and talisman formations were used to strengthen the formations.
And these formations were arranged on the periphery. In the broken spiritual vein deep in the main island, rich spiritual energy once again ran through a length of five miles. A long black snake coiled on the spiritual vein, swallowing and exhaling spiritual energy.
Next to the spirit vein, Shen Lian crushed the last few spirit stones in his hand and merged the spiritual energy into the black snake.
This long snake is the base of the Beidou Xuanming Formation and is connected to the spiritual vein.
In order to repair the spiritual vein, Shen Lian spent a large amount of his fortune and only then was the spiritual vein barely restored a little.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave covered by the formation, he took out a jade slip and examined it. Inside the jade slip was a map of his entire defense layout.
When other cultivators advance to the Golden Elixir stage, they are protected by the elders of their sect and family, so as to ensure their safety during the advancement.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any, so he could only pile up armor on himself layer by layer.
There are ten third-level formations of five types, including a formation that connects to the spiritual vein.
It would be impolite if such a defense could no longer be defended.
