Gu Yao and Chi Changye, who had changed their appearances, looked at each other helplessly when they heard other people's discussions. The Qi family was really cruel. Not only did they offer a high reward to them, but they also spread the word that Chen Sheng took away a large amount of property from Shuangxing Commercial Bank. This attracted many monks to come out one after another, hoping to make a fortune from them
. After escaping from Feichuan City, they could only avoid large cities and go to remote and dangerous places. Occasionally, they would stay in the market town along the way for a while to exchange some supplies. In this way, in order to avoid attracting attention, they not only changed their appearance, but also acted separately, and have not aroused suspicion from others until today.
"Let's go. We are already in the town. I wonder if there is anything special about this town." Chi Changye put his arm around Gu Yao's shoulders and took him into the town. On the way, he received a message from Chen Sheng, saying that he had arrived. He gave them an address and asked them to meet there.
On the surface, the order in big cities is good. Although various forces fight each other privately, if there is any conflict, they will generally go outside the city to resolve it. However, in towns like this and other monk settlements, unless there are powerful people to suppress them, such places where all kinds of people mix together will rely on fists to do the work. It is not uncommon for people to fight on the streets over a single disagreement. If you encounter someone who is quite powerful, it is possible that a street or even a town will be destroyed. Those who are unfortunately caught up in the fight and die can only blame themselves.
Along the way, fighting with wild beasts and humans, Gu Yao and Chi Changye both had a bit more murderous aura, and they released it unexpectedly. No one in such a town was willing to mess with them, because these two people, especially Chi Changye, were not easy to mess with.
They found the restaurant that Chen Sheng mentioned, and the two went in and came to the private room by the window upstairs.
Chen Sheng invited them to take a seat. In the past year of fleeing, he had sighed more than once that the most detailed map he had taken the trouble to find for Gu Yao and Chi Changye later served him. If it weren't for this map, they would have no clue to escape, and might have fallen into the trap set by the Qi family.
He didn't know what the Qi family was thinking, why they only wanted to reward him, Chi Changye and Gu Yao, but not Luo Xiao and the others. Perhaps it was because Luo Xiao and the others were body cultivators, so they looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts and didn't think they could play much of a role. This made it convenient for him to act, so after escaping from Feichuan City, Luo Xiao and the other two learned the disguise technique taught by Gu Yao, and then took enough spirit stones and headed towards Beiwang City.
Chen Sheng wanted Luo Xiao and the other two to take a message to his aunt, so that his aunt would not worry about his safety and leave Guiyuan Pavilion, and fall into the trap set by the Qi family. It is safest to stay in Guiyuan Pavilion. However, he also told Luo Xiao and the other two that this trip would be full of dangers. If they were unwilling, he could make other arrangements for them to abandon their past identities and start over.
Luo Xiao and the other two refused, and took the token and secret document given by Chen Sheng and set off for Beiwang City.
Fighting and killing along the way, dealing with all kinds of people, Chen Sheng's temperament has gradually changed. In the past, he couldn't let go of the industry left by his parents, and only wanted to protect it. Now looking back, it may not be a bad thing to get out. As long as he is strong enough, those industries will be handed to him by someone.
"There is good news." Chen Sheng's expression was a little excited.
Gu Yao raised his eyebrows. What good thing can they get?
Chen Shengxi said: "I'll go there first to find out something. The underground auction house in this town will auction an important item tomorrow night, the key to enter the Jue Chi Secret Realm. We have to find a way to get this key, even if we have to rob it."
"Jue Chi Secret Realm?" Gu Yao and Chi Changye didn't know much about this secret realm. That's right, except for staying in Beiya City for a period of time, they have been wandering outside. The information and books they can read are limited. How can they get a more comprehensive understanding of the relevant
information? Chen Sheng also thought of it. After all, these two were not natives of the spirit world, so they had never heard of the Jue Chi Secret Realm: "The last time the Jue Chi Secret Realm appeared was five hundred years ago. There has been no movement since then. I didn't expect that we would encounter it this time. Every time the Jue Chi Secret Realm is about to appear, a certain number of keys will be released. Only with those keys can we enter the secret realm. If we were in a big city, we should have received the news earlier."
"But now it's not bad. The news has spread, and the keys have also flowed out."
It will only end up with no remains left. It's a pity that when I was at home, I didn't check the situation of the Jue Chi Secret Realm. Those big forces should have more detailed information. "
Seeing Chen Sheng's beaming joy, Gu Yao and Chi Changye also believed that this Jue Chi secret realm should be a good place.
Chi Changye nodded and said: "Okay, we'll participate in the auction first. No matter what, we must find a way to grab a key. How many people can one key bring in?"
"Five people." Chen Sheng still knew this situation.
"That's good, we only need one. "
After the three of them had eaten and drunk, they went their separate ways.
Gu Yao and Chi Changye found an inn to stay in, checked their belongings, and made sure they could use the spirit stones to buy it tomorrow night. At the same time, they had to be prepared. This kind of place doesn't follow the rules. If they really got the key, they would immediately become the target of everyone's attack, and they would be caught in another bigger pursuit.
But this time, even Gu Yao understood that no matter what opportunity They had to give it a try anyway. What they needed most now was to work hard to improve their strength, and the secret realm was the most suitable place.
Chen Sheng asked about how to enter the underground auction, and then sent a message to Gu Yao and Chi Changye.
After dark the next day, Gu Yao and Chi Changye came to an inconspicuous grocery store, took out a bag of spirit stones, and said directly: "We want to participate in the underground auction."
"Okay, please come in."
The clerk of the grocery store gave each of them a cloak to cover their faces and isolate others' consciousness, and then took them into a closed room at the back. There was a short-distance teleportation array in the room, and several people were already
waiting Even with the isolation cloak, Gu Yao and Chi Changye still recognized at a glance that Chen Sheng was among them, but the two did not recognize each other and waited until they left the town to see how the situation would develop.
When there were ten people, the team activated the teleportation array and sent them to the underground auction.
The other end of the teleportation array was indeed deep underground, but the specific direction could not be found out, and Gu Yao's consciousness could not penetrate the thick walls around it.
The underground space was quite large, and the surrounding walls were inlaid with many moon fluoresce and night pearls, which made the place misty and full of There was a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.
Someone was waiting to receive them and led them directly to the auction room. There were also dozens of monks waiting here. Gu Yao and Chi Changye found a corner and sat down, waiting for the auction to start.
It can be seen that most of the people who came were alone and did not communicate with each other. Of course, it is not ruled out that there are situations like them and Chen Sheng, pretending to be strangers and coming here together to facilitate cooperation in case of accidents.
Several groups of monks came one after another. When there were more than a hundred participants, the auction finally started.
A fat monk in a cloak walked in from outside. His face was covered with a mask, so it was impossible to see his condition. He sat down at the round table in the middle and introduced himself: "I am the host of this auction. As usual, we will first auction the items provided by us. If you also have things you want to auction, you can bring them up for everyone to appreciate together." "To make a long story short, let's take a look at the first auction item."
The fat monk took out the first box from the storage ring and opened it for people to view. Gu Yao remembered what Chen Sheng said, that this kind of underground auction has no credibility, which means that the authenticity of the items can only be judged by one's own eyes. If you unfortunately bid for a fake or inferior item, you cannot find the auction venue or the people inside, and you cannot hold them accountable.
Gu Yao looked inside the box and saw a pill. When many cultivators saw the pill clearly, their breathing quickened.
Someone asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this the Po Void Pill?"
"Yes, fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight. It is the Po Void Pill, which can increase the chance of breaking through the Void Refining Stage by 20%. The Po Void Pill can only be refined by a fourth-grade alchemist. Although there are two second-grade alchemists and quite a few fourth-grade alchemists in our Wasteland State, how many of us casual cultivators have the opportunity to meet a fourth-grade alchemist and get pills from them?"
"Of course, as long as you enter Beiwang City, you can buy the Po Void Pill with spirit stones, but can we casual cultivators wandering in the wilderness be accepted by Beiwang City?"
"Well, let's start now. The base price is one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
When the price was announced, many people gasped. This amount was not small. If everyone was so wealthy, why would they wander around and become a casual cultivator? They would have settled in a big city long ago and not have to face unknown dangers every day.
Of course, since they came to this auction, they had made sufficient preparations. Perhaps there was someone behind the scenes who deliberately raised the price.
"One thousand two." "One thousand five"
Gu
Yao and Chi Changye watched them bid, and in the end, it was bought by a cultivator for three thousand high-grade spirit stones.
The next item was a treasure. Compared to its real price, the price was not high, and the trend was not that strong. Chi Changye sent a message saying, "These things are probably stolen goods and cannot be seen in public."
Gu Yao was not very interested in this treasure, but was curious and asked, "When the bidder uses this treasure, isn't he afraid of being recognized?"
"Maybe there are some means of concealment."
Gu Yao was also not interested in the next few items, and did not hear Chen Sheng's bidding. But when the fat monk took out another item, Gu Yao's eyes lit up. It was really an important material for cultivating concentric pigs and making concentric bells.
