Chapter Seventy-Two: Stone Dye City
Qian Muxue really couldn't understand that Jin Yu could advance to Jindan in such a short time, but she didn't ask very interestingly. In her guess, when Jin Yu sold the pill at the beginning, he might have hidden his cultivation, or he was directly a Jin Dan monk.
Along the way, Jin Yu knocked on the side to inquire about the major events that have happened in Dongyangzhou in the past six months. Qian Muxue is a delicate and transparent woman, and she directly told Jin Yu everything she saw or heard. Only then did Jin Yu know that many major events had happened during the more than half a year he had been trapped.
First of all, it was the Tiangang Sect that was finally annexed by the Five Elements Sect and became a subordinate sect of the Five Elements Sect. So far, the Five Elements Sect has annexed the four major sects of the Giant Sea Sect, the Purple Flame Sect, the Earth Spirit Sect, and the Tiangang Sect, although the Earth Spirit Sect has actually only been transferred, and the main strength is still there, but in the eyes of outsiders, even the location of the sect has become owned by the Five Elements Sect, so what is it if it is not annexed? Therefore, everyone thinks that the next target of the Five Elements Sect must be the Shenmu Sect.
However, according to the rumors that Qian Muxue heard, the Shenmu Sect had formed an alliance with the six major sects of the Wind Thunder Sect, the Xianyin Sect, the Qingyue Sect, the Yanri Sect, and the Fu Demon Sect, and as long as any of these six major sects were attacked, the other five major sects would do their best to support them.
It seems that the other five major sects finally feel threatened, so they made this alliance. Jin Yu secretly thought that this move was a good deterrent, and the Five Elements Sect would not start a war with the six major sects at the same time. But can this paper covenant stop the Five Elements Sect's ambition to expand?
Another major event that Jin Yu was interested in was that a core disciple of the Xianyin Sect, known as one of the top ten beauties in Dongyang Continent, broke through the Jin Dan and was about to marry the son of the sect master of the Shenmu Sect. After hearing this, Jin Yu's face turned cold, and Qian Muxue was suddenly startled.
Jin Yu suddenly woke up and returned to normal, he immediately asked the name of the beautiful woman gently, Qian Muxue's answer made Jin Yu's face relax, the beauty was called Luo Xinran. When Jin Yu heard that it was not Jing Rongwen, she was relieved. It's just that the disciples of the Xianyin Sect can't get married?
The reason why the Xianyin Sect set this rule was that if the disciples in their own sect married others, they would have to leave the sect, and in the long run, the strength of the sect would gradually weaken. Therefore, the sect stipulates that disciples are not allowed to have Taoist companions. However, if someone can pay enough price to make up for the loss of the Xianyin Sect, it is okay to marry a disciple of the Xianyin Sect.
Jin Yu was immediately dumbfounded, Jing Rongwan didn't say that it was okay to pay enough price. If what Qian Muxue said is true, then what does Jing Rongwen mean by concealing this article? Is it because she is afraid that Jin Yu will not be able to pay the price?
Jin Yu felt a headache after thinking about it for a while, and his heart was quite depressed.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the two of them to see a huge city in the distance, the high walls were as strong as fortresses, and various defensive formations were engraved on the walls. Above the city gate are written three big characters - Stone Dye Castle.
Jin Yu collected the horned tail shuttle, and walked towards the city gate with Qian Muxue one after the other. Although this city is not as majestic as Yixiang City, it is also spectacular enough, but I don't know what Fan Yunxi is doing here.
As the two walked into the city gate, the conversation of the pedestrians on the road made Jin Yu understand what Fan Yunxi was here for. It turned out that Baoyuanzhai, the largest trading house in Jiangchuan Country, was holding a large-scale auction today, and the monks on the road were talking about the various heavenly and earthly treasures that were about to be auctioned, and it was obvious that these people were going to participate in the auction.
It seems that Fan Yunxi is likely to go to the auction as well, which saves Jin Yu the trouble, just follow these monks, and there is no need to inquire about the location of the auction at all.
......
Half an hour later, Jin Yu and Qian Muxue sat smoothly into a private room. The price of this box made Qian Muxue, the eldest lady from a big family, feel dumbfounded, but Jin Yu casually threw out a storage bag and asked for one, without blinking his eyes.
After the two of them sat down, Qian Muxue cautiously observed the monks who entered and exited the box, she knew that if Fan Yunxi came to this auction, he must be in the box.
Jin Yu was observing the architecture and decoration of this auction house, as well as the defensive formations hidden in it. The walls of this auction hall are lined with headlights carved in sterling silver, and on either side of the hall are rows of small boxes, each of which stands a beautiful nun who seems to be of high standard.
After another half an hour, the lights on the auction table suddenly turned on, and a middle-aged man walked up to the auction table with a smile. He first clasped his fists and saluted the audience, and then said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoists, welcome to the highest-end auction of this year in Baoyuanzhai, I am Gong Xirong, and I will preside over this auction." First of all, I would like to emphasize that all of our bids today are medium-grade spirit stones. Without further ado, let's move on to our first lot of the day..."
"This is a golden bamboo, which is produced on Jinzhu Island. Everyone knows that there are ten forbidden places of death in Dongyang Continent, and Jinzhu Island is the one with the highest chance of falling. This golden bamboo has been around for 5,000 years and is an excellent raw material for refining wood attribute magic weapons. The reserve price is 300,000 spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than 10,000, and the bidding begins. ”
"Four Hundred Thousand Spirit Stone ......"
"500,000 Spirit Stone ......"
......
As soon as this golden bamboo came out, it didn't take long for it to rise to one million medium-grade spirit stones, Jin Yu couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out that the golden bamboo was so valuable, and there was one of the storage rings of the Yuanying monk he got, and the color seemed to be longer than the year in front of him, and it was estimated that it was at least more than 10,000 years.
It's just that Jin Yu didn't plan to refine the wood attribute magic weapon, so he didn't take it seriously. Not to mention that his refining level is very poor, even if his level is very high, he can't refine an artifact like the World Destroying Fork, so Jin Yu has no interest in refining magic weapons now.
......
"The next lot is a Level 5 Defense Array. The defensive formation in this array is called the Upside-Down Qimen Formation. You must know that setting up a formation is a very troublesome thing, and having a ready-made array disk can make the most troublesome things the simplest. The floor price of this array is one million spirit stones, and each price increase shall not be less than 50,000 spirit stones, and the bidding will begin!"
"1,100,000 ......"
"1,200,000 ......"
......
Jin Yu was thrilled from the moment he heard this fifth-level defensive array. He knew that Jin Shutian was the fourth Heavenly Eye Pass, and as long as he was within 100,000 miles of him, he could open the Heavenly Eye to see himself. But this Fourth Heavenly Eye Pass was unable to break through the fifth-level defensive formation, that is to say, if he hid in the fifth-level defensive formation, Jin Shutian would not be able to find him.
Jin Yu made up his mind to bid for it, and there were not too many such life-saving things. But he just paid attention to the quote and didn't say anything. He's waiting for a chance to make a final decision. At this time, the atmosphere on the field has reached its peak, and it is all boiled by this soaring price.
"Three and a half million ......"
"3.8 million ......"
......
However, as the price increased, the voice of the quotation gradually decreased, after all, this quotation was a medium-grade spirit stone! By the time there were only two people left fighting, the price had risen to five million. At this time, suddenly a voice that had never appeared before came-
"Six Million ......"
The voice came from a box near the auction table, and as soon as they heard this offer, the other two who had been holding each other immediately lost their voices, obviously giving up. However, when Jin Yu suddenly found that this voice appeared, Qian Muxue's whole body suddenly stiffened, and then she trembled. Jin Yu immediately asked in a low voice, "Fan Yunxi?" Qian Muxue nodded in fear.
"Seven Million ......"
Jin Yu did not hesitate to quote a sky-high price, his voice was as flat as water, without the slightest anger.
"Hmph, seven and a half million! Can this friend sell me Fan Yunxi a thin noodle, I have a lot of use for this defensive formation. What do you think?" Fan Yunxi's voice revealed a hint of uncertainty, and he felt that Jin Yu seemed to be deliberately against him.
"Eight million! Your old man's face is not good, what are you?" Jin Yu said the truth lightly, but many truths in this world sound like lies, and many lies sound like the truth.
"Okay!Okay!Boy, you have a kind!I'll let you know the price of arrogance!" Fan Yunxi was scolded by Jin Yu's words, and his murderous intentions skyrocketed, he decided to give up this array, as long as he killed him, he was afraid that he would not be able to get it back. He was secretly ruthless in his heart, no matter what his origin, he must kill him!
Gong Xirong on the stage frowned, and then shouted that there is still a price increase for 8 million? After asking three times, he decisively dropped the hammer. There was not much time, and the female cultivator standing at the door sent the array plate in, Jin Yu took the array plate and threw out a storage bag, and after the maid checked it, she bowed and retreated.
Qian Muxue next to her was already stunned, she didn't expect Jin Yu to be so rich. Just to help herself save her husband, she bid 8 million to auction a plate. She was really a little uneasy in her heart, these eight million were medium-grade spirit stones, and if they were replaced with low-grade spirit stones, they would be eighty million! Why did he help me like this? If it was for her husband Wan Fengbai, it would be fine, but what if it was for the same purpose as Fan Yunxi?
Another hour passed, and the price of the auction item also frequently set a sky-high record, but Jin Yu didn't see Fan Yunxi make a move, so he estimated that this array was the purpose of Fan Yunxi's coming to this auction.
