Chapter 275 Volume C Fantai Auction, Determine the Target

Xiong Zhuang left.

Chen Huaisheng would not stay in Bianjing City for too long, just two or three days.

As long as Guo Chongdao could find a suitable auction and buy the materials and skills he needed, he would immediately rush to Sui County to meet Tang Jingtian, and then rush to Wu Yue Donghai Taohua Island together.

There were many things to buy.

Now that he had a storage bag, he could buy more of many things to be prepared.

Chen Huaisheng realized that it was meaningless for him to keep a large amount of spiritual stones and spiritual sands, and he should transform these spiritual stones and spiritual sands into the materials and spiritual plants that he needed most for his practice.

Especially when he saw that Xiong Zhuang was about to pass the tribulation and ascend, but he was still lingering in the middle stage of Qi Refining, he felt the gap between the two sides even more.

Guo Chongdao also reminded himself that the further he practiced, the more difficult it would be, and the higher the requirements for external conditions would be.

Like Chen Huaisheng, who succeeded in Qi Refining and went to the sixth level of Qi Refining, he was unstoppable and smooth, so this also gave him an illusion.

It seems that cultivation is nothing more than this. With the spirit seed in his body and the cauldron furnace, as long as he is willing to risk his life, he can find the opportunity to break through the realm and advance in one fell swoop after several ups and downs.

Of course, the fact is indeed so. He realized the truth in three days, successfully refined Qi in five months, and then retreated for a year and a half to break through two levels, and even broke through the realm in battle, all of which prove this.

But he somewhat overlooked that he realized the truth at the age of twenty, and the previous five or six years of travel and accumulation, and the accumulation of spirit seeds and cauldron furnace in the early stage were also consumed in these consecutive waves of leaps and breakthroughs.

Entering the sixth level of Qi Refining, he still failed to achieve his goal after retreating for half a year, which made him sober up a little. Cultivation is not that easy.

In addition to talent, it also requires daily spiritual realm cultivation in the morning and evening classes, countless boring and tedious spell practice, countless spiritual herbs and elixirs to cleanse the body's bones and marrow, and the enlightenment in the continuous comprehension and perception.

The practice of thunder magic also made Chen Huaisheng sober up a lot.

The smooth practice of Yinming Ghost Arrow, Heqi Continuous Slash, and even Hunyuan Gangtian Gong also made him feel that he was invincible in practicing magic and swordsmanship, and even gave birth to some unrealistic fantasies.

But the difficulty in practicing thunder magic finally calmed him down.

He practiced thunder magic hard, and his spiritual power was exhausted every day. He even temporarily put aside the spiritual realm practice to improve the intensity, but the thunder magic is still hovering at the sixth level of palm thunder.

I thought that with such hard practice, I could easily practice the first level of thunder magic. Even if I couldn’t practice to the thirteenth level, I could at least practice to the tenth level.

Who would have thought that I couldn’t even cross the threshold of the seventh level.

This also made Chen Huaisheng quite depressed.

Whether it is spiritual realm practice or thunder magic practice, a large amount of spiritual materials are needed to support it. If there is a slight lack, the practice will be affected.

Back in the Taoist temple, Chen Huaisheng calmed down and thought carefully.

Before leaving, Xiong Zhuang gave himself an unexpected gain.

He mentioned that there was a mysterious thunder god tree on the Lei Gu Peak on the north side of the Tiyun Pit. It would be struck by lightning before it grew up. However, there should be one or two trees that grew into wood before being struck by lightning. Most of these woods were buried in the ground by grass and trees, and continued to be struck by lightning for thousands of years. If one or two pieces could be found, it would be of great benefit to his practice of thunder magic.

However, this was just Xiong Zhuang's guess. It was hard to say whether there were any lucky trees left on Lei Gu Peak. Even if there were, it was still unpredictable whether they could be found buried in the grass and soil in the mountains.

However, this still gave Chen Huaisheng hope.

The practice of thunder magic would be a spell that he would continue to practice. Even if he built his foundation in the future, he would still work hard on it. Therefore, he would need any materials related to thunder magic.

Looking at the formation of cloud and thunder patterns in his palm, Chen Huaisheng sighed and dispersed his spiritual power.

The news that Guo Chongdao brought to Chen Huaisheng was still very timely.

On the second day, there was an auction that was not large in scale, but of high quality.

On the first day, Chen Huaisheng spent a day visiting several markets.

The backers behind these markets are basically large sects and clans such as Tianyun Sect, Wanxiang Sect, Taihua Dao, Huaxi Sword Sect, Zhao Family, and Shi Family. Of course, there are also markets organized by small sect alliances, but whether it is the former or the latter, if you want to find a bargain in them and get your favorite materials at a cheap price, you can forget it.

But the advantage is that the spiritual materials and herbs of these large sects are relatively complete. As long as you are willing to spend spiritual stones and spiritual sand, except for more special materials, you can basically buy conventional materials.

Auctions are not necessarily the same.

There are relatively formal auctions, such as those led by the Taoist Palace or the government, and some private auctions hidden underwater that are not willing to be known by irrelevant people.

The latter type of auction can only be known through private relationships, and participation in the auction must also be carried out in accordance with the rules of the auctioneer.

For example, a high deposit is required, the identity information of the participants cannot be inquired, the origin of the auction items is not guaranteed, and no compensation or refund is given for misjudgment.

But it is precisely this kind of auction that is often the most popular. There is no other reason, all kinds of shady things can be traded at this auction.

And those who can really put together this kind of auction bureau are those with considerable strength and credibility. Once the credibility is ruined, not only will there be no business in the future, but it is also very easy to be retaliated by those whose interests are damaged.

When Guo Chongdao told Chen Huaisheng this news, he was still a little hesitant.

"The location is Pengpiwu." Guo Chongdao muttered: "Twenty-four miles southeast of the city, the terrain is dangerous, with swamps and wild forests intertwined. There are many high platforms in the middle, all called Fantai. It is said that they were built in ancient times. At that time, King Xiao of Liang built it to worship heaven and invite gods. In the later Middle Ages, Zu Ti and the murderer Shi Leqihuo's army fought decisively here, resulting in countless casualties. To this day, the place is filled with gloomy energy..."

"So that's where many auctions are held?" Chen Huaisheng asked.

"Well, because each high platform exits from a different location, is covered in clouds and fog, and the roads are complicated, you can set up various restrictions on your own, so that the bidders who go there are not afraid of being discovered, and they can also leave secretly after bidding. , no need to worry about being spied on,..."

Guo Chongdao's words made Chen Huaisheng immediately understand that it was reasonable for this place to be selected as the auction holy land.

Firstly, it is helpful for the organizer to arrange the layout, including security guarantee and confidentiality of identity. Secondly, it also allows the bidding guests to freely choose their coming and going routes without worrying about being discovered when they come and go.

"When?" Chen Huaisheng asked, "Does Senior Brother Guo also need to go together?"

"If you don't enter the venue today at noon, those who have not arrived at the beginning of the application will automatically give up. The auction time is about an hour, and the longest time can be delayed to Youzheng time. Then the organizer will activate the magic circle to cover the entire area around the auction house, making it Guests can choose different routes to leave safely,..."

Chen Huaisheng laughed, "Such a method makes me feel like I am doing something shameful."

"Huaisheng, it's really hard to say when you see how shady people are." Guo Chongdao said with emotion: "Half a year ago, a dragon-pan seal belonging to the eldest grandson of the eight great eldest sons of the Western Tang Dynasty appeared in an auction, and this dragon-pan seal is said to be that of the eldest grandson. The legitimate son of the family, Zhang Sunkui, was killed twelve years ago at the foot of Beimang Mountain on the outskirts of Luoyi. It also caused an uproar at the time. Changsun Kui was at the pinnacle of foundation building and was originally sealed in the secret realm with a dragon pan. He captured a Mo Qiu and used Mo Qiu Yuan Dan to make a pill to cope with the calamity. However, Changsun Kui was killed, and the Long Pan seal and Mo Qiu disappeared. As a result, twelve years later, the Long Pan seal was found at the auction. He was sold at a sky-high price of 200,000 spiritual stones, but Mo Qiu didn't know where he ended up..."

The Western Tang is what the Great Zhao calls the Tang Dynasty. Just as Bianjing is called the Eastern Zhao in Chang'an, it will never be called the Great Zhao.

"Does Xi Tang know about it?" Chen Huaisheng was very interested.

"How can such a thing be hidden from others? A few days later, the Western Tang Dynasty sent envoys to inquire, but everyone knew that the Bianliang auction had such rules. As long as it was not an auction held by the Taoist palace or the official family, there was nothing they could do. Check, even if the Western Tang Dynasty puts pressure on Taoist palace, it is impossible for Taoist palace to succumb, and even if it succumbs, Taoist palace can't find out the reason. When people inquired privately, they couldn't tell the details. Who brought it for auction? It's an anonymous transaction, how can I check it? Or just find a cultivator to come forward, who do you want to go to?"

Chen Huaisheng nodded, that's true. If the alien cultivator sells it, it is all formed by itself in the mountains and fields, and has no origin. How can you dig up the source?

Just like Xiong Zhuang, if he has some shameful stolen goods, he asks him to put on makeup and sell it, and the information left behind is just that of a strange cultivator. There may be some traces of Qi induction, but if you want to find the root cause, you can't find it immediately unless Seized, but where to find it in the future?

It is the safest thing to use these alien cultivators as white gloves.

"Then this auction won't have such an earth-shattering story, right?" Chen Huaisheng laughed.

"Haha, where can there be so many thrilling and bizarre stories? But in an auction like this, there will probably be some shameful things coming out. This is quite possible. Otherwise, there is no need to go this route. The seller will have to pay the commission alone. 10% to 30%, and the purchaser also has to pay a deposit. It is kept secret like this. Isn’t it because there are too many things inside that are shameful and don’t want people to know? "

Being shady means that the origin of these things is unknown, or they are stained with blood, making it difficult to take action.

And not wanting people to know, it means that the buyer does not want people to know that these things will eventually fall into his hands, and then let himself be known or noticed.

Of course Guo Chongdao will not go.

He knew that in this kind of auction, even Chen Huaisheng did not want people to know what materials he needed to buy. This was a personal secret.

Naturally, Chen Huaisheng would not take the initiative to invite him, and his relationship with Guo Chongdao was not that close.
