Chapter 38 Auction
Since the auction was still a long time ago, Jiang You and the other two chose to continue strolling on the street, just as they thought it was a long experience.
She was also quickly attracted by a bunch of small light balls in transparent bottles. She couldn't help but curious: "What is this?"
The stall owner couldn't help but glance at Jiang You, as if he didn't want to explain, which made Jiang You even more strange. Could it be that this is a very common thing?
Seeing Jiang You so confused, Yun Manluo said angrily: "Have you ever killed someone? Why don't you even recognize this?"
"What does this have to do with my murder?" Jiang You said in confusion.
"This is the soul of the monk!" Yun Manluo reminded, "Often monks die and lose their vitality, and then the soul will leave the body. If there is no medium to seize or preserve the body, the soul will spontaneously escape. The stall owner obviously sealed the soul of the dead. After all, some monks can strengthen their spiritual consciousness by devouring these souls, but this poses the danger of memory disorder, and may even be taken over by the master of the soul. In addition, there are some underworld cultivators who can also cultivate these souls into ghosts to fight for themselves, and the effect is not worse than that of puppets."
"So that's it." Jiang You nodded, and Yan Lan's notes seemed to mention this point, and he also reminded her not to forget to destroy his soul when silenced her. But he had never seen such a ball of light. Sometimes he also tried to check the deceased's sea of consciousness, but it was empty.
"But I really haven't seen it when I killed someone." Jiang You sent a voice through his spiritual sense.
"Is that true?" Yun Manluo said with suspicion, "Is it related to that space?"
"I don't know." Jiang You shook his head again, "There are too many unknown things in this space. Only by constantly upgrading can you unlock more secrets."
She couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. Since the person she killed had no soul, there would naturally be no residual thoughts after the soul collapsed, and it would be even more impossible to turn into a ghost's soul. This is not a good thing for her, after all, she would not encounter a ghost and seek life.
So she was unwilling to keep it for too long. After all, these souls are all dangerous things. What if a bottle suddenly breaks and the soul takes away her own house? After all, if you watch too many horror movies, you will be more or less afraid of such things in the underworld.
Continue to move forward, Jiang You never found anything interesting anymore. After all, except for evil nature, the types of things here cannot be compared with Tianyin Pavilion. Here are more evil ways that Dahua cannot tolerate.
When you walk to the last stall, you will be attracted by another sheepskin treasure map. Although it looks worn out for a long time, the blood-colored lines still seem particularly clear. Unfortunately, it seems that it is only half, especially the key treasure location is not on this half.
"What is this?" Jiang You asked at the big man guarding the stall.
The big man replied, "This is what I found in the ruins of the Demon Kingdom when I was exploring treasures in the Western Regions. Judging from the layout of the mountains and rivers in this picture, it looks like a half-curved insect. It is very similar to the location of the ancient altar of the magic call recorded in ancient books, so this may be a map of the ancient demon altar."
"Aren't the demons destroyed by the Huaxia Emperor?" Jiang You said curiously.
"You are right." The man nodded, "but it turned out that the altar that summoned the demons was buried under the deep mountains. It is said that there is a complete demon inheritance. The Demon Kingdom, which was already at its peak, only inherited her fur."
"The Demon Kingdom?" Jiang You said in confusion.
Yun Manluo explained: "Before the Western Rong Kingdom, the overlord of the Western Regions was the Demon Kingdom, but most of the people in the Demon Kingdom were demon cultivators. In order to practice, they were extremely cruel, so they were angry and resentful. Therefore, they were later destroyed by King Zhongwu and the countries of the Western Regions. This was also the first great achievement that King Zhongwu made for Dahua."
Jiang You nodded and continued to study the map. However, due to different perspectives, even if he is here, he may not recognize it, unless there is a satellite map for this cultivation world as a reference.
Of course, even if there is no satellite map, if there are other larger water systems as reference, it can be located. Unfortunately, this half of the map only has mountains and rivers, so it is difficult to determine the approximate area on this map with this information.
"Are you going to buy it?" the big man asked at the end, "Sold the eighty spirit stones to you."
"No!" Jiang You hurriedly shook his head, "I don't plan to cultivate demons."
"What's the waste of my time?" The big man said angrily, "Get out! Get out!"
"I bought the eighty spirit stones." Yun Manluo threw down the eighty spirit stones directly.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to cultivate demons? Besides, it's just a buried altar. I don't know what's inside. Do you think there is a bronze ancient tree gold mask or something?"
"It's not expensive anyway." Yun Manluo said disapprovingly, "If we can find the other half, we can also print this half into countless copies and spread it, and the other half can be sold at a high price."
"There is still such an operation?" Jiang You said speechlessly.
Yun Manluo smiled slightly, but put away the map. Then she held Jiang You's hand and said charmingly: "The time is almost over, let's go to the auction house."
The auction house is a two-story building, one of which is a hall and the second floor is a private room. After all, there are many people and eyes, so Yunmanluo had already decided on a private room.
But after all, this is Xiaoyao Valley, and it does not have the requirements of Tianyin Pavilion. The private room is just a little spacious, and there is no restriction on the partition wall in the middle. If you want to keep your auction items, you have to rely on your strength.
However, Jiang You was not very worried. Not to mention that his current strength is comparable to that of the foundation-building cultivator. What is important is that there is a bodyguard around him who is comparable to the late stage of the Golden Pill. If someone wants to kill someone and grab treasure, he might be cut into a wave of leeks, so Jiang You was afraid that he would not be stared at.
As more and more people took the seat, the auction became more and more lively, and many malicious spiritual senses swept towards Jiang You and others. Fortunately, most of these spiritual senses were at the foundation-building level and did not pose a threat to Jiang You and the others. But in order to encounter less trouble, Yun Manluo still released his spiritual sense at the peak of foundation-building, which made most people immediately withdraw their spiritual sense.
But it has to be said that under the scanning of the spiritual consciousness at the peak of foundation building, Yun Manluo could not determine the specific cultivation of several people. It can only be said that they are all above the Jindan cultivation level.
However, Yun Manluo was not worried. After all, she made corresponding psychological preparations. If she felt scared when she met a few monks with golden elixir cultivation, then there was no need for her to come to this auction.
Soon a graceful woman appeared in the center of the hall. She walked up to the auction stand and said, "My fellow Taoists are waiting. I have to say that there are a lot more people today than usual. I know why you came here, so I don't say much nonsense. The first item auctioned today is "Five Elements Spirit Gathering" and a piece of the Xuan-level Five Elements Practice, which can only be read by one person. If a second person wants to spy on the exercises, he will destroy himself."
Jiang You couldn't help but stand up. Unexpectedly, the first item was Wang Bang. This is a full-attribute martial art of the Five Elements, which can cultivate spiritual power with any attribute, especially for people with the Five Elements Spiritual Roots and Hunyuan Spiritual Roots. Even if it is not the Five Elements Spiritual Roots, it can be practiced together, just like Lin Xu, Lin Yan, Lin Yan, Yue Lian and Tong Xi can practice together, learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and verify each other. In this way, the cultivation speed can also reach the level of the Xuan Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
However, this kind of joint practice is also very difficult. It requires the five people who practice must reach the state of unity of mind and spirit. However, this difficulty is not difficult in the spiritual space, because anyone's mind can be guided by Jiang You.
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones!"
"three hundred!"
"five hundred!"
"Eight hundred!"
The price suddenly rose, but Jiang You was about to bid for the auction but was stopped by Yun Manluo.
"This kind of exercise is usually printed, and they are likely to have a master version. I will buy it specifically for them if I have the chance." Yunmanluo explained, "We will still keep the spirit stone to buy the things behind."
The martial arts were finally sold with 800 spirit stones. The auctioneer continued: "The second item is auctioned below. A female cultivator whose spiritual intelligence has been erased, and the mysterious earth spiritual root can be used to refine a clone, or can directly take over the body without any side effects. More importantly, the woman's identity is innocent and can help you regain the legal identity of Dahua."
Jiang You couldn't help but open his mouth wide. Xiaoyao Valley actually sold living people directly, and his wisdom had been erased. You must know that the difficulty is not low.
Seeing Jiang You's expression, Yun Manluo explained: "This is no wonder that Dahua is already used to it. After all, one more clone is equivalent to one more life. This is very popular in front of those dignitaries. How about it? Do we buy it? After all, compared to those people, this unconscious body can be much more obedient."
"Not to it." Jiang You gritted his teeth, "I prefer to use snatched ones than this."
The second item was finally sold by a monk on the second floor for 1,500 yuan. The auctioneer continued: "The third item is a medium-grade spiritual weapon."
...
The items that followed seemed much more serious, but they were not cheap either. However, Jiang You didn't pay too much attention. After all, these things were not urgently needed by Jiang You.
"The ninth item, three second-level health grass! The starting price is 600 spirit stones."
Jiang You finally focused on the matter. The thing he wanted to take was finally here. I hope there will be no more people snatching him.
Yun Manluo also introduced: "I have to take these three herbs to get nine hundred spirit stones to explain to Tianyin Pavilion, but once it exceeds one thousand five, it will be a loss, so you should take care of it yourself."
Jiang You nodded, and then shouted out nine hundred directly.
"One thousand five!" A voice of unknown men and women shouted from another direction.
Jiang You was completely stunned. This was completely blocking his own way. Could it be that today was in vain?
"One thousand five hundred and one!" Jiang You continued to shout.
"Sorry, each price increase cannot be less than one hundred spirit stones." The auctioneer replied.
"As for it?" Jiang You couldn't help but curse, "You must know that although this nourishing herb is precious, it is just a herb, not a pill. No one can say whether it will fail during the refining process and turn into a pot of waste soup."
