Chapter 157: Bidding (1)
Donating shares to the Chongxuan Department, whether to accept it or not, is a huge question. Gu Zuo could understand Taoist Priest Lingyuan's rejection. In fact, the real purpose behind the donation proposal was to seek protection, so he turned to
Secondly: "In this case, I make a solemn promise to you, Taoist Priest, that as long as Huaixian Guan takes over the Nanwu Mountain mineral vein, handing over the spirit stones to Chongxuan Department will be a top priority. As long as Huaixian Guan always controls the production and management of the mineral vein
, everything will be carried out around full payment, or even overpayment..."
He emphasized the two "as long as", and then made another suggestion: "Huaixian Hall hopes that Chongxuan Department can send people, such as experts like you, Taoist Master, to be stationed in Nanwu Mountain to guide the Ling Mine.
Extraction and production, of course, we are willing to pay corresponding remuneration for this."
Taoist Priest Lingyuan smiled after hearing this and simply said: "Let's talk about these things after you actually get the mine."
Without rejection, Gu Zuo was immediately excited and continued to chat with the other party without having anything to say - before the other party showed any disgust or impatience, every time they chatted, the relationship got closer. If he didn't seize the opportunity at this moment, he would get closer.
When?
"Speaking of which, it was Gu's great fortune to meet you, Taoist Priest, at Nanwu Mountain last time. I heard that Taoist Priest is good at refining talismans?"
"There's no way to say that I'm good at it, it's just a hobby. Doesn't your Huaixian Pavilion's inheritance include the art of alchemy? This is the way of talisman!"
"Ashamed, Gu's cultivation is shallow and he is far away from the realm of golden elixir. He is not yet able to study this technique... I just have the opportunity to meet Taoist Master today, a master of talisman making. I wonder if I can ask for some advice?"
Wang Huoju found out that Taoist priest Lingyuan was good at refining talismans. Gu Zuo stared at this and talked about it. Sure enough, he scratched Taoist priest Lingyuan's itch. Taoist priest Lingyuan immediately gave him advice.
"The talisman borrows the power of the immortals and gods from heaven and earth. If you want to make a talisman, you must first communicate with the outside world and learn to feel the spirit outside the body. Only then can the talisman you refine have spiritual effects..."
Taoist Priest Lingyuan started talking nonstop, and when he got to the key point, he simply took out the talisman pen, talisman paper and gold sand and refined it on the spot.
This is an earth-moving talisman. After Taoist Priest Lingyuan finished making the talisman, he performed a live demonstration and saw that the earth-moving talisman spontaneously ignited in the air, and a little yellow light emitted from the fire enveloped Taoist Priest Lingyuan. Taoist Priest Lingyuan smiled and said: "
Come with me!"
Dragging Gu Zuo and stomping down, the two of them got into the soil.
Taoist Priest Lingyuan and Gu Zuo were in darkness, surrounded by earth and rocks above, below, left and right. The earth and rocks in front of them spread out in all directions and regrouped behind them, creating a tension, as if they were covered by mud bit by bit.
The rocks are squeezing forward, and their emotions are extremely mysterious.
People were underground, and their perception of time and direction was quite confusing. Gu Zuo couldn't tell how much time had passed or how far he had walked. Suddenly, he heard Taoist Priest Lingyuan in front of him scream "Ouch!" and Gu Zuo's eyes flashed with sunlight.
The eye has already retreated from the underground with him.
I saw Taoist Priest Lingyuan covering his forehead with his hand, a few streaks of blood seeping out between his fingers, and he was falling.
"Taoist Priest, this is..."
"It's okay, I bumped into an object. This thing is made of gold, and the earth element talisman cannot be controlled... This talisman is a high-level talisman. I just learned it for a short time. I will be able to bypass it when I get familiar with it next time."
What is it? Who is hiding a flying sword in the ground? Aren’t you already full?”
Looking at Taoist Priest Lingyuan's left hand, he was holding a dagger with great disgust. The dagger was covered with mud and could only be seen roughly in shape, but it reflected a dazzling golden light in the middle of Gu Zuo's Qi sea!
What a treasure!
Shen Hongfu, who came over after hearing the news, inspected Taoist Priest Lingyuan's injuries and said in wonder: "I have been observing here for seventeen years, but I didn't expect that there is such a thing underground."
Taoist Lingyuan's golden elixir cultivation level allowed him to stop the injury after circulating his true energy for a week. Shen Hongfu brought water to wash away the dirt on the flying sword, revealing the true appearance of the flying sword. It was a bronze dagger with two engraved on the bottom of the blade. The simple seal character - Qingxuan.
Next, I excavated the place where I had just escaped, but no other objects were found.
After such a commotion, Gu Zuo could no longer wait and see with Hongfu. His goal had almost been achieved. It was enough to know that after he had taken the spirit stone vein, at least his safety was guaranteed.
In a blink of an eye, the first day of November has arrived, and this day is the day of bidding.
When Gu Zuohe Butcher appeared at the former Lulongjun Guild Hall, the temporary agency of Longquan Taoist Temple in Heishan, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Since Qingshan, the leader of Baihuamen, was beheaded and Nantan and Beitan were competing for the position of leader, almost everyone thought that the joint bidders of Huaixian Pavilion and Baihuamen had withdrawn on their own. Moreover, Gu Zuo had been honest these days. Who would have thought that we would appear here before we even went half a step down the mountain?
The auction was held in the courtyard. The six bidders were separated on the left and right, each occupying a table. There were pens and paper on the table for filling in the bid documents, but no one touched them - the bid documents had been filled out long ago. Waiting to be handed in.
The Qingcheng sect and the Lishui sect are located at the first table on the left. There are three people sitting around the table. Gu Zuo doesn't recognize any of them. There are six people standing against the wall, but there are Wang Ruhu, Deacon Xin and Taoist Yu. They all You can only stand back, which shows how powerful the lineup is.
The first table on the right is occupied by Luofu and other three groups, with fewer people, six.
Next came the Yongchang Gate and the Jinjia Gate, the Laoshan Sect and the Spiritual Beast Division, the Tianmen Sect and the Shenxing Division, among whom Gu Zuo was familiar with the Black Mountain Zhaohu Division Chief Zhong Canjun, and the Legal Division Chen Canjun.
Mr. Zhong Er came over first to say hello: "Master Gu is here? Is there a change in Baihua Sect? Have they elected a new leader?"
Gu Zuo first greeted Zhong Shenjun and Chen Shenjun opposite, and then replied to Mr. Zhong Er: "Baihuamen has withdrawn."
Mr. Zhong Er asked curiously: "Your library has found a new partner?"
Gu Zuodao: "No, this time it's us, Huaixian Pavilion. We, Huaixian Pavilion, are bidding separately."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an immediate uproar in the courtyard, and the loudest laugh was undoubtedly Wang Ruhu of the Lishui Sect.
Amidst the laughter, Mr. Zhong Er shook his head helplessly and said softly: "Then I wish the owner good luck."
People from Longquan Taoist Temple and Dongting Sect were all in the main room. Gu Zuo looked inside and saw that there were about ten people.
Hearing the laughter outside, Wu Shanjing walked out and frowned: "Why are you making so much noise?"
Wang Ruhu came to his desk and whispered a few words to a female cultivator. The female cultivator nodded, so Wang Ruhu stepped forward and said, "Priest Wu, there is something that I'm afraid the Taoist priest needs to step forward to take care of. Huaixian The museum is overestimating its capabilities and intends to bid exclusively for Nanwu Mountain."
Wu Shanjing glanced at Gu Zuo, frowned and said: "The tickets for Huaixian Pavilion are complete, they have been reviewed twice, and both deposits have been paid in full. What's wrong?"
Wang Ruhu said: "One moment and another, their family and Baihuamen jointly bid for the purchase. Now that Baihuamen has gone, does Huaixian Pavilion have the ability? Our Lishui faction is worried that Huaixian Pavilion is preparing to falsely report the bidding price, deliberately
