The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 5 Auction (please recommend, please collect)
"Fellow Daoists, please stay behind"

Before taking two steps, Zhou Xun heard Han Yunzhi's voice coming from behind him.

So he stopped and turned around in surprise.asked in astonishment.

"Is there anything else, girl?"

"If you have something good to do, please let me know," the girl smiled mysteriously and continued.

"Fellow Taoist also knows that I am raising spiritual stones to purchase magical artifacts and elixirs. Now that the magical artifacts have been found, do you know where the elixirs are?"

"Where?" Zhou Xun asked following her words.He was also curious about where to buy elixirs.I am not short of money now.

"auctions!"

"This auction is held by Wanbao Pavilion because the Immortal Ascension Conference is about to take place. Therefore, treasures that are usually rare will appear this time. I wonder if you are interested?" Han Yunzhi asked with a hint of playfulness, tilting his head. .

"Of course I'm very yearning for it, but I've heard about this auction. It's said that the threshold is quite high. Only those with invitations can participate." Zhou Xun sighed with a look of regret.Suddenly, he realized the hidden meaning of Han Yunzhi's words.

She stopped herself, she couldn't say this for no reason.

"Could it be that the girl has this invitation letter in her hand?" She suddenly took a step forward, with a hint of urgency in her words.

"Can it be transferred to me?"

In the girl's impression, Zhou Xun had always been slow, unhurried, and polite. Suddenly seeing his anxious look, she couldn't help but feel happy and chuckle.After all, he is a teenage boy.So he nodded and affirmed.

"Exactly, I have this invitation letter on hand"

"Originally, I planned to buy elixirs at the auction to help my brother break through. But I managed to get enough elixirs from setting up a stall a few days ago. Therefore, this invitation letter is useless to me. Since it says If my friend is interested, I will give it to my Taoist friend." He took out the invitation letter and handed it to Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun didn't refuse, took it and put it in his arms.Then he gave a salute and said:

"The invitation is something I urgently need, so I accepted it. But it's really not easy to take the girl's things for free." He took out the spirit stone and handed it to the girl.

"These two spiritual stones should be considered as the purchase price."

The girl shook her head cutely, said nothing, pushed Zhou Xun's hand holding the spirit stone back, bulging her eyes, and looked at him with persistence.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun had no choice but to nod and said.

"Then thank you girl." Then he took back the spirit stone.

After leaving Han Yunzhi's stall, Zhou Xun continued to wander elsewhere.

Then he spent dozens of spiritual stones to buy all the items he wanted.An encyclopedia of elixirs, a book of tips on how to use magical weapons, and a worn-out shield magical weapon.

Returning to the small building, Zhou Xun greeted Master Kusang and others in the hall, then went into his room and studied the items he bought today.

At the same time, in a certain room in Wanbao Building.

A young man in blue robe was kneeling in front of a middle-aged man with a rich figure and dressed as a shopkeeper.

"What are you doing in the Tainan Valley Branch Building? The development of our Wanbao Building to this day is based on the method of killing people and seizing treasures.

"Let me tell you, the reason why Wanbao Tower has been able to rise from a small shop to the top of the six major merchants in Yue in just a hundred years is because of credibility!"

"Fortunately, I stopped you this time! Otherwise, the century-old reputation of my Wanbao Building will be destroyed in your hands. Okay, you can return to the family today. I will send people to take charge of this Tainan Valley branch building again. !”

As he spoke, the rich middle-aged man waved his hand and drove the young man away.

Three days later, it was time for the auction.

When Zhou Xun came to Wanbao Tower, he saw that Wanbao Tower had one main building and four auxiliary buildings.The highest point is about seven or eight feet high, and the roof is towering.The entire Wanbao Tower occupies an area of ​​nearly a hundred feet, with elegant corridors, high eaves and carved railings.The end is majestic.

There are two guards stationed in front of the building, both masters of the 13th level of Qi training.In the middle of the guards stood a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper and with a rich figure.Surrounded by him were four young men in green robes, waiting to receive him at the door.

There were some people gathered in twos and threes not far in front of the building door, pointing and talking.At this time, several people came from a distance and came straight to the shopkeeper.After saying something, he took out an invitation letter the size of an envelope. After the shopkeeper checked it, he was led through the door by a boy.Zhou Xun understood that these were monks who came to participate in the auction.

So without waiting much, he walked up to the shopkeeper.Only then did he discover that the fat shopkeeper who was receiving the reception in front of the building was actually a foundation-building monk.

"My little friend is also here to participate in the auction?" The shopkeeper saw a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old and asked with a surprised look on his face.

"exactly"

Zhou Xun gave a salute and answered in an upright manner.

"Please show me the invitation letter"

After hearing this, Zhou Xun took out the invitation letter given by Han Yunzhi from his arms and handed it to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

The fat shopkeeper then looked at it carefully several times to confirm that it was correct.He nodded slightly and said enthusiastically with a slight smile.

"Since my little friend is here to participate in the auction, let's go in and see if there is anything you like." Then he turned to a boy and ordered:
"Xiao Liu'er, take this little friend in."

The boy let out a loud "hum" and rolled his eyes at the fat shopkeeper.Then he walked up to Zhou Xun and motioned to follow him.

Zhou Xun nodded, put away the invitation, and followed the boy to the door.

The young man in front of him has a face, but his lips are red and his teeth are white, and his face is as bright as jade. He looks like he is only eleven or twelve years old, but his cultivation is at the sixth level of Qi training.This surprised Zhou Xun and couldn't help but speak.

"Little brother, you have six levels of cultivation at such a young age, how did you become a servant?"

"Huh! It's not my third uncle, what's the point of experience?" the boy complained.

Seeing the boy in front of him with a puffy face and an angry look, Zhou Xun couldn't help but get more playful.

"Experience? Seeing as you are only in your teens, you came out to practice at such a young age. Is it possible that you are still using child labor?"

"You're young, I'm 11 years old, Eleven" he said, puffing up his chest, looking arrogant.Then he glanced at Zhou Xun.

"You don't look that big, why are you pretending to be an adult?" Zhou Xun was not angry when he said this. Instead, he laughed and continued to tease him.

"Who is the third uncle? Your third uncle's surname is Nanpai?" He pretended to be confused.

"What kind of male-female faction? How can anyone have such a surname?" The boy looked at Zhou Xun with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.

"Forget it, I'll tell you, my third uncle's surname is Tian," the boy said with a look of helplessness.

"I don't believe it unless you take me to see him" Zhou Xundao
"Oops! You've either seen him before, or he's the fat man in front of the building." The boy was a little annoyed.

. . .

while talking,

The two walked through a corridor and came to a hall.

"Okay, my mission is completed. Here is the auction place. You can take a look around for yourself. I'm leaving." He turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, don't leave. What's wrong with this place..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the boy.

"Oh! My mission is to bring you in, and the rest is not my responsibility." He said as he ran back.When he reached a distance, he suddenly turned around and smiled playfully.He made a face towards Zhou Xun and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun could only smile bitterly.I thought I was unlucky, but I was so mean-mouthed that I offended this young man who came to experience life.

The hall in front of me was empty, with not a single person in sight.Auctioning here is a scam.

So Zhou Xun had no choice but to go back the way he came, and then followed a monk who came in behind him.Only then did we come to the real auction site.
