Chapter 118: Step Void
In the corner, I found a stone table and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, a young and beautiful woman appeared out of nowhere, sent all kinds of fruit plates, poured tea, and left a delicate and gorgeous jasper teapot, and then retreated.
This woman's breath was disordered, and her steps were frivolous, but she was just an ordinary mortal, and she was also in poor health among mortals, and she looked like she had been replenished for a long time.
Zhang Fan didn't have much research on this, and he wasn't sure, but he vaguely saw the woman walking into the dark, and she was embraced and hidden.
Shaking his head, he stopped paying attention and instead swept over the dozens of monks in handicapped clothes around him.
Everyone sat silently, not moving or speaking, like a puppet, if it weren't for the fact that these people were at least monks in the foundation building period, I was afraid that they would be confused with the corpse puppet ladies they had seen before.
It is precisely because of this silence that although the whole cave is tall and spacious, and the air circulation is smooth, it still gives people a feeling of oppression and suffocation out of thin air, and they only long for something to hurry up to break this dullness.
After a while, an old man with a red face walked out, stood on a raised natural stone platform in front of him, leaned on the stone table in front of him, coughed lightly, and said: "This fellow Daoist, this transaction is about to start, it is all the old rules, and the old decay is not wordy." ”
Is there any special requirement that can't be fulfilled?
Before Zhang Fan could ask the question in his heart, the first item was taken out by the old man and placed on the stone platform in front of him.
It was a purple-red wooden box, and I saw the old man's palm rubbing it on it, and the box opened, revealing a small pile of rune paper.
The brilliance on these runes flowed without a sense of restlessness, and it felt like watching a torrent through a crystal gem, surging and stable.
- A superior spiritual rune.
Before the old man could speak, everyone present already knew it.
Coughing lightly, the old man held up the box of spirit runes in his palm and said: "Overseas Xuan Iceland Immortal Huo Family Spirit Runes, a box of ten pieces, all of them are unique to the Huo family-the Cold Claw Transformation Technique." ”
As he spoke, he also took out one of the spirit runes, slightly released the spiritual power and stirred it, and in an instant, the cold air overflowed, even if he was a little far away, he still felt that the skin around him seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly tightened.
The old man's spiritual power control had obviously entered the room, and it was closed at the touch of a button, and although the spirit rune released a little power, it was not stimulated, and after a few fluctuations, it returned to calm.
It can also be seen from this that the talisman making method of this Immortal Huo family is really clever, and the spiritual power is sealed in all directions, otherwise if it is an ordinary spirit rune, no matter how good the old man's control is, even if it can be compared with the Sect Master of Jiedan, it is useless.
"The Huo family of cultivating immortals, with the blood of the cold mantle, is even better at ice supernatural powers, and it can be regarded as a very good family of cultivating immortals. Knowing that Zhang Fan was not familiar with the overseas immortal cultivation world, Fu Chang temporarily acted as a commentator and whispered in his ear with his divine sense.
"Cold Bloodline?" Zhang Fan nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.
The way of cultivating immortals has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and there are many amazing and brilliant people who have created countless earth-shattering powers, one of which is known as the bloodline inheritance spell.
Even with great supernatural powers and great perseverance, the bloodline of the demon beast is integrated into the body, and it is steadily digested and fused, and finally a special bloodline that can be passed down stably is formed.
In this way, it is indeed possible to obtain the bloodline of some demon beasts and even divine beasts, but it is also extremely dangerous.
To be able to do this, at least you must have cultivation above the Dan period, and cultivation alone is not enough, after all, the human body is very different from the demon beast, and the slightest carelessness is a situation where you die on the spot.
In order to survive the heavens and the earth, in order to crisscross the four seas, immortal cultivators since ancient times have always spared no effort and fearless, even if it is such a nine-death technique, there are many people who have tried, and there are no shortage of successful examples.
At this moment, the Xiuxian Huo family was mentioned, and it should be one of them.
"The cold mantle transformation formula, ten high-level spirit runes, not retail, start quoting now. ”
Just as Fuchang was whispering, the old man on the stage paused, and after giving everyone time to think about it, he said aloud.
"Offer?" Zhang Fan looked around, and found that the people around him didn't mean to move, and couldn't help but be surprised, speaking of which, until now, he didn't know how to bid in this bazaar.
"Interested?"
As he looked around, Fuchang asked with a low chuckle.
"Well, Senior Brother Fu, dare to ask how to quote?" Zhang Fan was busy and said with his divine sense.
"Hey, hey, look at it. ”
After speaking, he stretched out a hand and turned the jasper teapot in front of him in a circle, so that the handle of the pot was inward and the spout was facing the table.
After Fuchang did this, the old man on the stage had already quickly quoted the price, from the first 5,000 spirit stones to tens of thousands.
At the beginning, the report was extremely smooth, almost without pause, and later, the number of spirit stones was tens of thousands, and it was obvious that some people hesitated to retreat, and Zhang Fan saw that someone reached out one after another to turn the teapot in the direction and withdrew from the competition.
Zhang Fan sighed with emotion and finally understood.
After so many years of development, it is clear that this bazaar transaction has its own system, and there is no need to even make a sound when bidding, eliminating all channels that may be identified. Otherwise, simply ensuring the safety of buyers on the spot would not be enough to attract so many buyers and sellers, and there would not be so many real goodies.
In just a few moments, the price of the box of Cold Claw Transformation Talismans climbed to an astonishingly high price of fifteen thousand spirit stones, and in the end, only Zhang Fan was left to compete with another monk with a hidden identity.
Soon, the monk shook his head and reached out to turn the teapot around, apparently giving up.
Zhang Fan smiled, took off the Qiankun bag and took out the Ten Thousand Five Spirit Stones, handed them to a girl who stepped forward with a tray, and then took the wooden box from the tray, which was considered to have completed the transaction.
If it comes to competition, other immortal cultivators are naturally inferior to Zhang Fan, and they also have to consider the question of whether it is worth it or not, after all, the release of spirit runes requires the same spiritual power, and the delay time, the higher the level of spirit runes, the greater the demand limit, so it also limits their price.
But Zhang Fan is different, the purpose of his acquisition of the spirit rune is to ban it from the Strange Things, and it can be activated when he needs to use it, so that the value of the spirit rune will be greatly increased, even if the price is a little higher, he can accept it.
After winning the auction of this box of spirit runes, he was not very interested in the next few things, so he did not participate in them, but just watched the crowd bid with great interest.
Among them, there was another person who won the treasure, but there was no spirit stone to pay the bill.
Zhang Fan thought that he would see a fight, and he didn't want the man to take something out of the Qiankun bag and put it on the tray to be brought back by the person, but after a while, the woman holding the plate turned around again, not only gave the items that the person had taken, but even found some spirit stones.
Seeing this, he understood, it turned out that not only could the bill be paid directly with spirit stones here, but also offset with items, thinking that there must be someone who is skilled in identification behind the scenes, otherwise he would not be able to get the right price so quickly.
With the passage of time, the auction is coming to an end, and what amazes Zhang Fan is that even if the red-faced old man on the stage speaks loudly for so long, he can't see how hoarse or obscure his voice is, but he is still so full of neutrality, clear and loud.
At this moment, the old man suddenly closed his mouth that had been talking non-stop, solemnly took out a jade box carved out of the whole body of condensed jade, stroked it, and said: "This thing is the most precious and rare thing in this auction. ”
As he spoke, he opened the jade box, carefully took out a piece of jade that was slightly larger than a palm, and displayed it on all sides.
It is somewhat inaccurate to say that it is jade, it does look like the jade bib in the world, but the material is different, at first glance it looks like jade, and it is different under closer inspection, such as leather and horns, and like some special metal.
As soon as the jade bi was displayed, Zhang Fan heard a gasping sound around him, and when there was silence in the field, it seemed extremely abrupt and weird.
Just looking at their reactions, you know that this is not any ordinary thing.
At this time, the red-faced old man took a deep breath and said, "I think you fellow Daoists have already guessed it, yes, this thing is a Buxu photo that has been passed down from ancient times. ”
As soon as these five words entered his ears, Zhang Fan was shocked, and finally understood why everyone's reaction was so big.
There is a record of this thing in the Strange Things, Buxu Shadow Bi, referred to as Bu Xubi, which is similar to the function of the Shadow Beads that are now common in the world of cultivating immortals, but they are very different, and they are simply not a thing on the same level.
Legend has it that the photographic beads used by immortal cultivators today were made based on this object. However, the principle is different, the material is different, and the effect is very different.
Leaving a photographic bead, Zhang Fan had seen it back then, but if it was used once, it could only retain about ten breaths of image sound, if it exceeded this time, the bead body would be broken.
This is the limitation of the material, but also the problem of refining techniques, after all, the real refining techniques and the use of materials have been lost, and today's people are just re-imagining and restoring them by records, and there is a natural gap with the original.
There is no time problem, and ten breaths at the critical moment are enough to use, but the real gap is not in this.
As mentioned earlier, the photo bead can only retain sound and image, and it is powerless against breath, majesty, etc., but it is different, it not only has all the above functions, but sometimes it can even reproduce things like tone perception, mysterious and mysterious, wonderful.
Because of its powerful effect, in ancient times, it was often used by monks to record the scene of the teacher's sermon for future generations to figure out.
The same is true of the piece in front of me.
Sure enough, this idea just flashed in Zhang Fan's mind, and the old man on the stage said aloud: "What remains in this piece of step is the scene of a great supernatural person who specializes in cultivating fire exercises in ancient times preaching. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Fan suddenly perked up and became engrossed.
