Chapter 1334  Jinghai Market

At this time, Xiao Mian didn't know that his whereabouts had been discovered by someone with ulterior motives.

The matter of selling human blood food, killing Ran Min alone is not the end.

As Ran Min said before his death, the mastermind behind the scenes is King Ran Yi.

However, according to Xiao Mian's suspicion, it is impossible for King Ran Yi to be so smooth, and it is likely that there are human forces in Wangxian City who are colluding with each other.

But whether it is Wangxian City or King Ran Yi, it is not something that Xiao Mian can shake now. If something goes wrong, Xiao Mian may even lose himself.

It is for this reason that Xiao Mian chose to leave Lingyangze.

Through the previous fourth-level small fish monster, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai left Lingyangze again - this kind of local snake sometimes has a lot of hands and eyes.

Coincidentally, the giant ocean liner that brought Xiao Mian to Lingyangze before had just finished loading living things and was about to set sail.

Xiao Mian and Gui Hai boarded the "Cang Hai" again and headed south all the way.

The Cang Hai, which is extremely large, is made from the skeleton of an ancient giant fish.

The white bones, breaking the waves and riding the wind.

After more than half a month, the Cang Hai arrived at the destination.

Jinghai!

Jinghai, as the name suggests, is calm.

The entire Jinghai sea area is ten thousand miles in radius and is located in the southeast of Lingyang Lake.

Although the Jinghai sea area is calm, the spiritual energy in it is extremely thin.

As a result, a good Jinghai was not visited by anyone. In the end, some low-level cultivators gathered here, and slowly, it became the Jinghai Market today.

Jinghai Market has become a famous market in the East China Sea...

When they arrived at Jinghai Market, in order to prevent someone from spying on their whereabouts, Xiao Mian and Gui Hai parted ways. If it was not necessary, they would do their own things.

Besides, the entire Jinghai Market was a vast ocean, and there was no place to stand.

The vast ocean is full of large and small sea boats, ships, and ocean vessels...

There is even a treasure ship that is stationed in Jinghai Market all year round, which is like a garrison.

The monks who come and go either fly in the air or stand on the waves.

Of course, if you have a flying boat, you will naturally be like a fish in water.

Before in Huoyun Ridge, Xiao Mian gave the Yanjing flying boat to Huang Yan.

As for the Nanzhao, it has long been returned to Wan Zongsheng.

Xiao Mian still has a top-grade flying boat, which is the top-grade wind-attributed flying boat that he took from Xia Mengyun in Yunzhong City-Yuntian!

However, Yuntian is of great importance, and Xiao Mian dare not use it easily.

Although Xiao Mian still has a water-attributed flying boat-Yunjing flying boat, this Yunjing flying boat was stolen from Luosha that day.

When Luosha successfully condenses the infant, Xiao Mian plans to return it to its original owner.

Besides, water-attributed flying boats are not known for their speed, so Xiao Mian also has some interest in them...

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Mian plans to buy a top-quality flying boat first, just for transportation.

Jinghai Market is quite famous in the entire East China Sea.

But even so, it is not easy to buy luxury goods such as flying boats. After asking around, Xiao Mian came to the treasure ship in the center of Jinghai Market.

This treasure ship is even better than Lingchuan, and it is a ground-level treasure ship.

On the bow of the treasure ship, there is a golden signboard-Tongtian!

Obviously, this is the name of the treasure ship.

With a silent smile, Xiao Mian tapped his toes and soared into the sky.

Besides, the Tongtian, standing in Jinghai Market, is not just for show.

Tongtian is there, but not everyone can board the ship.

Either, you have a very high level of cultivation-such as the Yuanying Patriarch.

Or, you have a rich fortune-need to spend a lot of money.

In a word: Those who have no money and power should get out of here as soon as possible!

However, it is precisely because of this that the service of Tongtian is the best in the entire Jinghai Market.

As soon as Xiao Mian flew onto the ship, a young and beautiful female Jindan cultivator greeted him at the bow. After greeting him with a smile, the female cultivator took Xiao Mian into the Tongtian.

"This senior looks very unfamiliar. Is it your first time in Jinghai Market? I guess this is your first time to visit my Tongtian. Do you want me to tell you about the rules of Tongtian?"

"Yes!"

At that moment, the female cultivator talked about a long list of rules while walking.

Some of them were just the strategies of the major business houses, but some of them were really incredible in Xiao Mian's opinion.

Xiao Mian didn't want to make trouble, he just wanted to buy a flying boat and leave.

"Senior, you came at the right time! Today is the first day of the lunar month. My Tongtian holds an auction once a month. As far as I know, there is a top-quality flying boat at the auction!"

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Mian was stunned. He turned back and looked at the female cultivator. Only then did he realize that the female cultivator did not seem to be a human cultivator, but a demon woman in disguise. Xiao Mian's silence made the female cultivator uneasy. She asked in a low voice: "But...but what did I offend? If you want to change someone..."

"You are good! No need to change someone! Let's go! Take me to the auction!"

"This... I haven't finished talking just now! To participate in the auction, cultivators must have a certain amount of property before they can enter! Because according to the rules of my Tongtian, all cultivators who enter the auction must bid for at least one item..."

"How much?"

"Ten million middle spirits or one thousand pearl coins!"

"No problem! You lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Xiao Mian agree so readily, the female cultivator was secretly delighted.

This senior is either a liar who is trying to make himself look rich or a hidden financial sponsor.

If he is a liar, Tongtian will entertain him.

If he is a sponsor, then his income today will be settled...

Ten million middle spirits or one thousand pearl coins are the minimum chips to enter the auction. Once the transaction is completed, the female cultivator can get a valuable commission.

After that, under the guidance of the female cultivator, Xiao Mian was brought into an elegant pavilion.

He sat down safely, and the female cultivator served him diligently with tea and water.

However, Xiao Mian observed the female cultivator for a long time, but he did not see any transformation magic weapon such as transformation bracelet on her, so he was a little curious.

The meaningful eyes were finally noticed by the female cultivator.

The jade-like face was bright, and the female cultivator was a little unhappy.

"Senior! Although we are maids hired by Tongtian, we are all innocent girls from good families. We are self-reliant and are definitely not those who climb up the social ladder!"

It turned out that the female cultivator regarded Xiao Mian as a playboy with a hidden meaning.

Xiao Mian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he just revealed the doubts in his heart.

"I see you don't have any magic weapon to transform, and you are clearly a demon..."

"Excuse me, senior! I am originally from the clam demon clan. Although my clam demon clan has low combat power, I am born proficient in illusions, and I am known as the illusion double vein with the land fox demons!"

"Clam demon? Illusion?"

"Senior, you don't believe it? I'm sorry!" Knowing that she had misunderstood Xiao Mian, the female cultivator took off a shawl from her body in embarrassment. In an instant, the light and wind flowed, and a beautiful woman turned into a human-shaped clam demon! But soon, the female cultivator put on the shawl again and restored her beautiful face. Xiao Mian looked at it in amazement: "What a brilliant illusion! This shawl should not be your own demon weapon, right?"

"Senior, you have a good idea! This is the demon weapon given by my mother!"

Hearing this, Xiao Mian nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing this, the female cultivator stood by respectfully, not daring to speak.

Finally, the auction officially began...

All the details were similar to other auctions Xiao Mian had participated in.

The first thing to bear the brunt was a high-level demon weapon, but Xiao Mian was not interested.

Although the power of demon weapons is three times stronger than ordinary magic weapons of the same level, they also have their limitations - the limitation of demon weapons is the blood of the demon race.

It should be noted that demon weapons are refined by demon cultivators using different organs in their bodies. Even if they are all demon cultivators, as long as they are not of the same race, it is difficult to use them endlessly.

Moreover, most demon cultivators will use themselves as a starting point to refine their own demon weapons.

The status of high-level demon weapons left by senior demons like this is very embarrassing.

In the end, the transaction price of this top-quality high-level demon weapon was not satisfactory.

Xiao Mian naturally did not want the demon weapon. The reason why he came to the auction was, first, for the flying boat, and second, to broaden his horizons.

After all, Xiao Mian had returned with a lot of rewards from the previous trip to Liuyun Island. How could he not enjoy the Jinghai Market, which is now famous in the East China Sea?

After that, the auction items were like a rush, and he was overwhelmed.

However, most of the auction items were prepared for demon cultivators. Xiao Mian really didn't want anything special. He almost fell asleep while sitting there...

This made the female cultivator next to him anxious!

Emotions fluctuated, and it was inevitable that he behaved inappropriately.

Xiao Mian seemed careless, but he was actually very observant.

After a little thought, he knew what the female cultivator was worried about.

At this time, a piece of diamond coral was being auctioned at the auction.

Diamond coral, an eighth-level spiritual material, is both gold and wood, but not gold or wood.

If this thing was sent to Jing Chu, it would be enough to make Jing Chu, who has dual-attribute spiritual roots of gold and wood, feel like he had found a treasure, and his cultivation would be able to reach a higher level.

At this time, the price of the diamond coral had reached 500 pearl coins, which, if converted into spiritual stones, would be 5 million medium-grade spiritual stones.

This price is already extremely high.

You should know that the first eighth-level spiritual material that Xiao Mian bought, the Heart of Geomagnetism, only cost five million medium-grade spiritual stones.

However, this diamond coral is of outstanding quality.

The diamond coral looks like a swimming dragon, with a prominent head and horns, and scales all over.

According to the explanation given by Tongtian: This diamond coral was stained with a trace of real dragon blood, which is why it can grow into such a strange shape.

The explanation of Tongtian is unverifiable, but the price of diamond coral is rising steadily.

Easily, the price of diamond coral has exceeded one thousand pearl coins.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian decided to make a move.

The female cultivator was complaining about herself, but she was happy when she saw Xiao Mian's actions.

Under Xiao Mian's instruction, the female cultivator bought the diamond coral at a high price of three thousand pearl coins and presented it to Xiao Mian respectfully.

Xiao Mian wiped it away and put it into his sleeve.

Seeing this, the female cultivator became more respectful to Xiao Mian.

After that, Xiao Mian would frequently buy some special products from the East China Sea every now and then.

Some things were not very practical, but if they were given back to Xiao Chuqing, Xiao Bailu and others, it would be a token of his appreciation.

Soon, Xiao Mian's spending at the auction reached 10 million middle spirits.

At this time, the female cultivator calmed down.

"Senior! This thing is flashy and useless! You'd better not take it!"

"Senior! You want this thing too? It's worthless!"

"Senior!"

In the end, all the things Xiao Mian liked were rejected by the female cultivator one by one.

"Senior! Aren't you here to buy a flying boat? Even the lowest-quality flying boat is of astonishing value. Moreover, as far as I know, the flying boat at this auction is a medium-quality wind-attributed flying boat. Can't you take it easy? What if you don't have money by then?"

"This..."

Speechless by the female cultivator, Xiao Mian had to stop while he was ahead.

After that, until the auction was almost over, the flying boat finally arrived.

The flying boat was called Jinglan, and as the female cultivator said, it was a medium-quality wind-attributed flying boat.

Of all the flying boats, the wind-attributed flying boat has the best quality.

As a result, the price of the Jinglan flying boat has soared.

In just a few rounds, the price of the Jinglan flying boat exceeded 10 million middle spirits.

Then, it was 200 million middle spirits, 300 million middle spirits...

After 500 million middle spirits, the price of the Jinglan flying boat stopped for a while.

Until this time, Xiao Mian did not make a move casually.

Logically speaking, no matter how high-grade a wind-attributed mid-grade flying boat is, it still has its value. At most, it can’t exceed 100 million middle spirits.

This price is not stressful for Xiao Mian now.

There is another reason why Xiao Mian did not participate in the bidding.

“Let me ask you: must the bidders of your Tongtian be the ones who bid at the auction? Can the cultivators themselves bid?” Xiao Mian asked with a frown. The female cultivator was stunned when she heard this, and explained: “Of course! And according to the rules of Tongtian: if the bid price is too high, the cultivators must bid!”

“How much is considered high?”

“More than 100 million middle spirits! This is also to avoid unnecessary disputes!”

“I understand…”

While saying “I understand”, Xiao Mian was muttering in his heart: It is indeed her!

But – why is she here?

From beginning to end, Xiao Mian did not participate in the bidding for Jinglan.

This made the female cultivator on the side speechless, not knowing why.

At the end, the female cultivator always thought that Xiao Mian had predicted what she had said - she had wasted too many spirit stones on those useless things before, which resulted in insufficient spirit stones in the end.

She glared at Xiao Mian with some annoyance. The female cultivator was not angry about her commission, but felt sorry for Xiao Mian.

A wind-attributed mid-grade flying boat like the Jinglan is definitely hard to come by.

But the Jinglan has already been taken, and the auction has ended successfully.

Before leaving the elegant pavilion, Xiao Mian took out a pearl necklace and gave it to the female cultivator.

"You and I are destined to be together! This thing is called the 'Chain of Illusionary Heart', so I'll give it to you!"

"Chain of Illusionary Heart?"

"The East China Sea is about to undergo a major change. If possible, take care of yourself!"

"Senior..."

Before the female cultivator could say anything, Xiao Mian had already walked out of the elegant pavilion.

Seeing Xiao Mian's back and the Chain of Illusion in his hand, the female cultivator was in a trance...

Besides, Xiao Mian had his reasons for leaving Tongtian so eagerly - he wanted to see where that person was hiding!

After getting off Tongtian, Xiao Mian did not go far away, but waited nearby.

The location of Tongtian is the center of Jinghai Market.

The cultivators who patronize Tongtian are either rich or noble, and therefore, there are many specially built restaurants, teahouses and even romantic places around Tongtian.

In a restaurant near Tongtian, Xiao Mian sat by the window.

Seemingly doing nothing, Xiao Mian actually used his Spirit-Seeing Eyes to the extreme.

Because the auction had just ended, many cultivators filed out of Tongtian, and Xiao Mian just looked at them, his eyes fixed on them.

He was waiting, waiting for the fleeting figure in his memory...
