Chapter 807: Eternal Day and Night
Xiao Mian wanted to take some of the sixth-level spiritual objects he usually enjoyed from his storage bag and mix them with the spiritual objects in the wing room, but he didn't do it in the end.
Jing Chu and the other two were all sword cultivators. Even Kong Yuanren, who was known as the sword of the benevolent, had his own pride as a sword cultivator, not to mention Jing Chu and Yin Jiansheng.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If they knew about this, Xiao Mian would be forcing them to break up with him!
Moreover, the spiritual objects in the wing room were quite large. The three of them had eaten the spiritual objects that were supposed to be for four people. They were already a little full and needed to digest them well!
If they overeat, the spiritual energy in their bodies would be too mixed, which would be bad.
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Xiao Mian just kindly reminded the three that the auction had not started yet, meaning that they should take it easy to avoid any embarrassment.
Finally, the three of them were mentally strong and calmed down quickly.
After that, the auction started smoothly.
The first item opened the eyes of the four people.
It was a seventh-level spiritual material, but it appeared in the auction of Xuanji Pavilion.
Unfortunately, this spiritual material is of wood attribute.
Xiao Mian already had the ten thousand year dragon locust tree. He only broke off a rhizome of the ten thousand year dragon locust tree to re-refine the Five Spirit Sword, and most of it has not been used yet.
As for the other three people, it is useless to ask for this wood attribute spiritual material.
Jing Chu was somewhat interested, but after the price of the spiritual material exceeded 300,000 middle spirits, Jing Chu gave up any fantasy.
Jing Chu's entire wealth, added up to only about one million middle spirits, how could he waste half of it for a piece of seventh-level spiritual material that is of little use?
Xiao Mian saw it, but kept silent.
If he wanted to, he would naturally have the financial resources to buy this seventh-level wood attribute spiritual material. With his friendship with Jing Chu, it would be fine to give it to the other party.
The problem is that Xiao Mian doesn't like that thing at all!
Although it was also a seventh-level wood-attribute spiritual material, that thing was just a piece of rotten wood, and it was not comparable to Xiao Mian's Wanzai Longhuai!
In the end, that piece of seventh-level spiritual material was auctioned off for 500,000 middle spirits.
This transaction price is not high among seventh-level spiritual materials.
It can be seen that the quality of that thing is really not very good...
Some of the auction items after that were like a quick glance, all kinds of things.
The four people occasionally made a move, but they were mostly surpassed by others. After several times, the faces of the other three people except Xiao Mian naturally became more and more ugly.
Xiao Mian saw it, but did not say much.
The weakness of Nanyue Province cannot be turned around by him alone.
Then more Nanyue Province monks are needed to understand this and join the ranks of revitalizing Nanyue Province.
The three people of Jingchu must see the gap between Nanyue Province and Chu County and even Zhongzhou, so that they can more deeply understand the hardships of Nanyue Province.
Only by personal experience can it be unforgettable!
During this period, Xiao Mian did make a move and successfully bid for a seventh-level talisman - Purifying Water True Hidden!
This Purifying Water True Hidden Talisman alone cost Xiao Mian 800,000 Zhongling.
Looking at the talisman that finally appeared in Xiao Mian's hand, Jing Chu and the other two did not look very good - that was almost equivalent to Jing Chu's entire fortune!
However, Xiao Mian remained calm and calmly put the talisman into the white jade flying pendant.
He saw the three people looking at him with different expressions, and Xiao Mian said nothing.
Finally, when the auction was about to end, Xiao Mian's eyes fixed.
"Fellow Daoists! The two things to be auctioned next are rare in the world! One is from the extreme south, and the other is from the extreme north. One is from the south and the other is from the north, but they complement each other. It can be said that they are the creation of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon!"
After boasting fiercely, the auctioneer on the stage unveiled the red cloth on the tray.
Two fist-sized stones appeared, one red and one blue, nothing else unusual.
"The red one is called the Eternal Night Stone, and the blue one is called the Polar Day Stone. They are natural treasures bred by the North and South Poles! Up to the seventh level!"
"What are the effects of this thing?"
Finally, someone in the audience became interested.
"This fellow Taoist asked a good question! The Eternal Night Stone and Polar Day Stone have innate magnetic energy inside..."
"Magnetic energy? No! No!"
The man became a little interested, and when he heard that it was a spiritual material with magnetic properties, he shook his head immediately.
The auctioneer was embarrassed, but he had to continue to fool people.
"This item is of the seventh grade, a genuine Yuanying realm spiritual material! What's more rare is that these two spiritual stones are of excellent quality. If they can be refined into a pair of flying swords, it can be called..." At this point, the auctioneer saw that there were few bidders, so he had to throw out the reserve price: "These two spiritual stones will be auctioned together, the reserve price is - 300,000 middle spiritual stones!"
300,000 middle spiritual stones, two seventh-grade spiritual materials, this reserve price is not expensive, even a bit cheap, obviously the owner is also very clear about the useless magnetic properties.
Seeing this, Xiao Mian became more confident.
However, he was calm and did not make a random offer.
If Xiao Mian did not bid, someone else would naturally bid - after all, if 300,000 middle spiritual stones could get these two spiritual stones, it would definitely be a huge bargain.
The bid price rose all the way, and when it broke through 800,000 middle spiritual stones, it paused slightly.
When it broke through the one million middle spiritual mark, it was already weak.
At this time, there were only two Jindan top-level cultivators left bidding.
At this time, Xiao Mian made a move.
"One million and a half middle spiritual stones!"
This offer not only stunned everyone at the auction site outside, but also Jing Chu and the other two in the wing room.
Xiao Mian added up to a full 500,000 middle spirits!
With one move, the two Jindan cultivators who were still unwilling to give up were shocked out of the game.
In the end, no one raised the price, so Xiao Mian only spent 1.5 million middle spirits to bid for the Eternal Night Stone and the Polar Day Stone.
It should be noted that according to Xiao Mian's budget, he prepared 1 million middle spirits to bid for each spiritual stone. Now, isn't it a saving of more than half?
But in the eyes of Jing Chu and the other two, Xiao Mian was already a spendthrift!
"Brother Xiao! As far as I know, you don't have the five elements spiritual roots? What's the use of this magnetic spiritual stone? Not to mention squandering, it's also a waste of spiritual stones!"
Out of concern, Jing Chu advised kindly.
Xiao Mian, however, was busy playing with the two spiritual stones handed to him, feeling the strong magnetism inside, and the more Xiao Mian looked, the happier he became.
"Three brothers! What do you think?"
"Hmph! Brother Xiao is indeed rich!"
Yin Jiansheng, who had remained silent, was the first to express his opinion.
Xiao Mian shook his head and put the Eternal Night Stone and the Polar Day Stone into the White Jade Flying Pendant.
"Brother Yin, do you think Xiao is showing off his wealth? Xiao Mian is not so boring! I just want to tell you a truth as a person who has been in Zhongzhou for a few more years than you: only spiritual stones are the kingly way! We must accumulate spiritual stones as much as possible!"
"What does Brother Xiao mean?"
"Do whatever it takes!"
Xiao Mian's resolute words made the three people look different.
Kong Yuanren, hesitant;
Yin Jiansheng, resolute;
Jing Chu, thoughtful...
"You are new here, and you have the care of Senior Qingqiu. There is nothing wrong with your identity as a cultivator in Nanyuezhou. But you may not know? When I first arrived in Zhongzhou..."
At that moment, Xiao Mian took advantage of the gap in the auction to tell the three people about his journey in Zhongzhou.
From entering Yumen Tianguan until now in Tianxia City, Xiao Mian has said everything he can.
The dangers and hardships in the process, even the three people now hear, their faces suddenly change.
"Three brothers! It is difficult to survive in Zhongzhou; it is even more difficult to live well in Zhongzhou! Do you think that I brought 1.8 million Zhongling from Nanyuezhou? No! These are all my gains in Zhongzhou, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth: my wealth is far more than that! If you want to continue traveling in Zhongzhou, then learn well! What belongs to us, we must not give up at all, and what is not ours, we must try our best to fight for it. We must try every possible way - snatch food from the tiger's mouth!"
Xiao Mian said this with some heartache.
At this time, the expressions of Jingchu and the other two had calmed down again.
Although Kong Yuanren was still a little hesitant, Jingchu and Yin Jiansheng had clearly been bewitched by Xiao Mian and became his firm followers.
This is not a follower who pursues the Great Dao, but a robber...
Xiao Mian saw this and was secretly happy.
Even Jing Chu, who was stubborn, was influenced by him in the face of facts. Although Kong Yuanren was known as the sword of benevolence, he would surely understand his good intentions in time. After all, who would talk about benevolence and righteousness with you if he couldn't even support himself?
Subconsciously, they must know the way to survive in Zhongzhou!
For the time being, it can be regarded as a little advice from me...
After getting the Eternal Night Stone and the Polar Day Stone as he wished, Xiao Mian didn't plan to leave first, after all, the finale of this auction had not yet appeared.
It won't be long before the finale is on the stage.
"Next is the finale of this Xuanji Pavilion auction!" After taking a look at the items on the stage and the people in the audience, the auctioneer was in high spirits, and he shouted loudly as if he had been injected with chicken blood: "The origin of this item is quite mysterious, and it is quite famous. The reason why it appeared in the Xuanji Pavilion auction is quite tortuous and bizarre."
"What are you talking about!? If I hadn't been waiting to see this finale, I would have left long ago!"
"That's right! That's right! The items in this auction are really not good! I don't know if this finale will turn the tide or fail miserably?"
"Hurry up and lift the veil, so that the brothers can open their eyes!"
...
"Fellow Daoists, please be patient!"
Although the auctioneer tried his best to maintain order at the auction site, he himself was only at the top level of Jindan cultivation. How could he intimidate a large group of Jindan cultivators present? In desperation, the auctioneer had to end his lengthy introduction early, unveiled the red cloth that was covering the auction item, and made the finale available to the public.
Xiao Mian, who had been very calm on the surface, suddenly stood up in shock.
It was because what was placed under the big red wedding cloth was actually - the heart of a ghost!
