"Three... Daoists, please take a seat here!"
A cultivator in the immortal realm came forward and looked at the three brothers Lin Yi. After calling them Daoists, he grabbed a fine stone table and three stone stools out of thin air and placed them on the ground, then bowed and raised his hand to invite them. There were two adjacent tables not far away, each with four other diners from "Wanxiang Hall".
Lin Yi and his two brothers sat down at the table.
Looking to the left and right, there were dozens of other tables with more than a hundred cultivators sitting on them. They should be the diners from the eighteen restaurants on Jieling Island. Everyone's cultivation was above Brahma, and there were several masters in the early stage of Dongtian!
Hu Tou had drunk all the wine in the jar and threw the empty jar behind him. The sound of "pop" shattering attracted the attention of the neighboring table. He looked around, puzzled: "Damn! It's empty here, there's no kitchen stove or chef, where are the delicious dishes..."
Lin Yi was easy-going, glanced at the old dragon beside him, and said softly: "Although the formation of this seabed is not as good as the underwater city of the past, it is also ingenious..." He turned to the middle-aged cultivator from Wanxiang Hall and asked: "What's your name, Taoist friend? Where is this place? Why don't you sit down and chat..."
The middle-aged man was paying attention to the situation in the distance. He smiled and raised his hand and said: "My name is Gu Zidan, and I am from Wanshan. He and several fellow Taoists opened this Wanxiangtang on Jieling Island just to earn some money for cultivation!" He walked in a few steps but did not sit down. Instead, he followed the rules between the store and the guests and stood beside Lin Yi and said, "This is the 'Guanhai Palace', which was built with funds from eighteen restaurants. It is nothing more than a place for fun and entertainment, but it is also a place for fellow Taoists to exchange what they have and exchange experiences! It seems that the three fellow Taoists are new here, and you will see the difference in a moment!" At this time, an old man walked under the Tongtian stone pillar in the middle of Guanhai Palace. His beard and hair were gray, and his appearance was ordinary, but he was a master of the early stage of Dongtian. When Lin Yi, Lao Long and Hu Tou looked around, Gu Zidan whispered, "Kong Daozi is the owner of five restaurants including Haitian Pavilion. He has a close relationship with the cultivators of Tiandu Peak in Wanshan Mountain. He is also a famous senior figure on Jieling Island..." "Tiandu Peak?" Lin Yi's expression moved slightly. Gu Zidan said, "Tiandu Peak is the Taoist temple of the Supreme Master Qianhuang, and the cave of Master Jiuxuan is located there, so it is called this!"
Lin nodded and looked forward with an unclear mind.
Kong Daozi stood still for a while and said loudly to the four directions, "All Taoist friends have gathered here. It is a good time. Let me throw a brick to attract jade..." As he pinched his hand seals, the stone pillar that supported the Guanhai Palace suddenly emitted a white light, and instantly illuminated the four directions like daylight. He then flicked his sleeves, and a bloody monster suddenly appeared in the air a few feet away.
Gu Zidan said at the right time, "This is a spirit eel beast from the depths of the sea. It has almost reached the level of a god. It is extremely difficult to catch and kill it, and its meat is delicious. Cooking and enjoying it has the effect of nourishing the essence and replenishing the qi..."
Kong Daozi flipped his hand seals again, and the spirit eel beast more than three feet long was skinned and deboned in an instant. Then two Brahma monks came forward, moved the body of the monster aside and fired flames to roast it. Kong Daozi himself held up something, walked slowly, and gestured to the four directions: "This is the Lianxu Beast Pill, which is priced at 500 divine stones. Add another 1,000 divine stones and I will give you a set of immortal mansions that I have refined..."
Until this time, Lin Yi finally saw the name of it, and suddenly said: "I didn't expect that this Guanhai Palace has food and drink, and you can also buy and sell treasures from various families. What about the immortal mansion..."
Gu Zidan waved his arm, and seven wine jars, cups and plates and other tableware suddenly appeared on the three square tables in his house. He said, "Please enjoy your time, everyone," and continued to explain: "The large and small buildings and houses on Jieling Island are mostly refined magic tools. The immortal mansion is a magic weapon made by the masters of the cave heaven, which is quite extraordinary..."
At the same time, Kong Daozi raised his hand and threw out a thin light.
In a blink of an eye, a small and exquisite courtyard fell from the sky. Among them, there are pavilions, gardens, fragrant pavilions, flowing water, main halls, suites, and defensive prohibitions.
Although more than a hundred monks were sitting around and separated by hundreds of feet, they could see the situation clearly, and then there was a burst of praise. With the immortal mansion, when you go out, you can set up a house to rest anytime and anywhere. It is a rare treasure!
However, some people disagree.
Hu Tou grabbed the wine jar on the table and asked, "Do you want to charge a separate price for your wine?" Seeing Gu Zidan smiling and shaking his head, he took a big sip with confidence, and then said disdainfully, "Who would walk around with a complete set of houses and dare to ask for a thousand divine stones? It's really nonsense. It's negotiable if it's given away for free. In my opinion, the beast pill is at most fifty divine stones..." Someone muttered to himself, but the movement was not loud, but it could not be hidden from the immortal masters present. I don't know if it was related to this or the price was too expensive. After the beast pill and the immortal mansion were displayed, no one bid for it.
Kong Daozi chuckled disapprovingly, then put away the beast pill and the house covering dozens of feet, and continued: "The spirit eel is delicious, and you only need ten magic stones to taste it! Because its meat is rosy and full of spiritual energy, it is beautifully named 'Summer Flower Red'..." He glanced in the direction of Wanxiangtang, turned and walked away.
In a short while, the two monks had grilled the meat, and they both used their swords. In an instant, they had divided the suspended animal meat into more than a hundred pieces, and threw them in the direction of the people around them. As a strange fragrance filled the air, steaming pieces of meat suddenly appeared on the stone tables of each house.
Hu Tou laughed out loud and salivated. The piece of meat weighed dozens of kilograms and was roasted until it was red and attractive and fragrant. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to tear it open, and humbly said: "Two brothers, please..." Before he could finish his words, he was already feasting, and he was applauded again and again!
The old dragon was not polite and grabbed the piece of meat to taste.
Lin Yi, however, had no appetite, so he only poured the wine into a jade cup and drank it slowly alone. Seeing that the two brothers were eating happily, he took out ten sacred stones and threw them on the table. The two monks who were grilling meat had already passed by quickly and took away the sacred stone.
After a while, a middle-aged man with the cultivation of Golden Immortal walked into the field, raised his hands in all directions, and said in a loud voice: "I, Kang Mangzi, come from an isolated island overseas. I currently have five Divine Beast Transformation Pills. I intend to transfer them. The starting price for each pill is Fifty sacred stones! You know one beast elixir is worth ten years of work..."
The Void Beast Refining Pill just now was worth 500, but the God Transformation Beast Pill now only sells for 50, which is cheap!
The seller just started bidding, and the sound of selling was already everywhere——
"Fellow Daoist Kang! I want all the beast elixirs, three hundred sacred stones..."
"I am three hundred and fifty...
"I have four hundred..."
"Haha! I have a thousand sacred stones..."
While it was bustling, everything suddenly became quiet. The person who raised the high price was none other than Kong Daozi from Haitian Pavilion.
Seeing that no one was fighting, Kang Mangzi hurriedly put five beast pills in a jade box and sent them over. After he took the sacred stone from Kong Daozi's hand, he thanked him again, then returned to the field and said with a smile: "There is another thing below that I want to dedicate to you fellow Taoists..."
The tiger head and the old dragon had already swallowed the pieces of meat. He took a few sips of wine, wiped his glossy mouth, and said curiously: "That Kong Daozi is really generous. The beast elixir priced at fifty was actually bought by him for two hundred..."
Gu Zidan said from the side: "There is nothing wrong with buying and selling voluntarily!"
Lin Yi shook his head and said disapprovingly: "This is the method of ordinary merchants. They first hoard and raise prices, and then sell them at high prices, just to make a profit!"
Gu Zidan took a step away, cupped his hands and said, "It seems that the senior is familiar with the way of business, I'm disrespectful..."
Kong Daozi bought out the beast pill just to drive up the price. Otherwise, the beast elixir he holds can only be sold at a low price. With such a method, I am afraid that few people present would be able to see something fishy.
Lin Yi responded with a smile: "What Lin is dealing with is the immortal way and the human way, not the business way..."
Gu Zidan seemed puzzled and speechless for a moment. Hu Tou snorted at him and said sarcastically: "With your level of cultivation, you dare to talk about scriptures and Taoism. Don't bully him, boss. Let's see..."
Kang Mangzi had already taken out a small brocade bag from his waist, raised his hand and said: "Deep in the depths of the sea, there is the ancient strange beast Haihezi, also known as the sea unicorn. I just got one by chance..." He said As he pinched out a magic formula, something suddenly flashed out of the brocade bag. It was three feet in size and shaped like a river fish, but it was covered in scales and restrained. It was still shaking its head and tail and struggling.
There was another burst of admiration from all around——
"It's really the rumored 'sea unicorn'..."
"This beast is still young, and its cultivation level is similar to that of Foundation Establishment, but it is extremely difficult to find, let alone see a living creature. Today is an eye-opener..."
"It is said that this beast is of great use and is worth a lot of money..."
"I don't know how much the price is, whether you and I are destined..."
Kang Mangzi cast another spell, and the strange beast immediately whined and stopped struggling. The Golden Immortal monk from overseas went on to say: "It is recorded in the classics that the blood of Qilin is as red as clouds. It is called 'Danyang blood' in ancient times. Swallowing the raw drink has the ability to improve your cultivation! Although the Hai Qilin I captured It is a young beast, and the beast's blood is more pure, but it is somewhat limited, and can only be transferred to a certain Taoist friend present!" Then he raised his hand and waved a silver light, and the sea beast was shattered and refined with magic power! Transformed, and then condensed into a ball of essence and blood, which was flashing and dazzling red. He then threw out a jade bottle that was more than a foot tall, and instantly collected the animal blood into the bottle. Then he gestured to all directions: "The price is whatever you want, the one who is sincere will get it..."
The one who is sincere will get it, and the one who pays the highest price will get it. This is just another way of saying it, so that people can listen to it. This is also a way of treating others.
Everyone bid for one hundred sacred stones, then two hundred, three hundred, and then went up. Finally, an old man who had reached the final stage of the Immortal Lord won the price with six hundred sacred stones. Both the buyer and seller were happy, while the rest of the people had different expressions. And that Kong Daozi of Haitian Pavilion didn't pretend to steal too much, maybe he didn't take the so-called "Danyang blood" into consideration.
Hutou has no interest in buying and selling treasures, he just waits for someone to bake delicious food again to satisfy his appetite. Lin Yi and Lao Long were also unintentional and just watched the excitement from a distance.
At this moment, the teleportation array in Haitian Pavilion suddenly flashed with light, and then a man who looked like a scholar appeared. He had the cultivation level of the early stage of Dongtian. His facial features were elegant, but his eyes kept flashing. It was very strange. A scheming look. His arrival did not attract much attention, but he himself was just looking around.
However, when Lin Yi noticed something and raised his eyes, the man seemed to be avoiding...

ps: Thousand Wasteland Journey, many mysteries have to be revealed here, so I can only write slowly, and it is inevitable that some omissions will occur, because it involves more than four million words, and it is not easy to find an answer. Perhaps, Wuxian is a story without purpose and answer...
