"What are you going to buy this time?"

After removing the sound barrier, Gu Xi looked at Su Zimo and asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, just take a look."

Although he didn't know what the two people were talking about, Su Zimo also realized that it must be related to him. Naturally, he would not reveal the truth foolishly.

Gu Xi smiled and stopped asking. She changed the topic and said, "The auction will start soon. You might as well sit here. If you like something, maybe I can help."

There was a huge disparity in status between the two parties, and Gu Xi invited her again and again. Su Zimo's heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "Now that I'm here, I'll make peace with it. They won't do anything to me."

After thinking about this, Su Zimo sat down with a sword, picked up the fruits on the table, and started eating them as if no one else was watching.

Through the crystal in front of him, he could clearly see that the seats outside were already full of people.

It was very lively and crowded.

Not long after, as a bell rang, the auction officially began, and the scene gradually became quiet.

A middle-aged man in rich clothes walked up to the circular platform in the middle, looked around, smiled before saying anything, and said with cupped hands: "I am the shopkeeper of Tianbao Auction House in Chiyu City. I welcome you fellow Taoists. I hope you can come back with a full load today."

"Let's get started!"

Some monks had already become impatient and shouted.

The shopkeeper smiled, said no more, and waved behind him. A beautiful maid came forward, holding a tray in both hands and twisting her waist.

The shopkeeper removed the gauze covering the tray, revealing a flying sword inside. The blade of the sword was like autumn water, sparkling, and there were as many as three spiritual patterns on it!

Top grade spiritual weapon!

"This is the Autumn Water Sword. It was made by Mr. Lian, the most famous senior weapon refiner in the Zhou Dynasty. I believe you have all heard of it, so I won't introduce it in detail. The base price of this sword is two thousand spirit stones. Every bid must be no less. At one hundred!”

Su Zimo was secretly speechless.

When it comes up, the auction is for high-grade spiritual weapons. I don’t know what will appear later.

I don’t know who this Mr. Lian is.

Seeming to see the doubts in Su Zimo's heart, Gu Xi said: "This person's name is Lian Feng, who comes from the True Fire Sect. He is famous because he once refined a top-quality spiritual weapon. A senior weapon refiner in the Great Zhou Dynasty He is a rare talent, and out of respect, cultivators who are not familiar with him will call him Mr. Lian."

Su Zimo nodded.

Many cultivators outside have begun bidding. In a short time, the price of this Autumn Water Sword has risen to three thousand spirit stones!

Su Zimo was not very interested in spiritual weapons.

Soon, this Autumn Water Sword was bought by a Foundation Establishment Perfection monk for a transaction price of 3,700 spiritual stones.

The shopkeeper smiled, very satisfied, waved, and brought the second item.

When the veil was lifted, there was a jade bottle standing on the tray, which should contain some kind of elixir.

"This is a second-level elixir, of low quality. I believe everyone has heard of its name, which is the Pulse Opening Pill! The base price is five thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price shall not be less than five hundred."

Su Zimo's eyes lit up.

After the foundation-building monk reaches perfection, he must open up the eight extraordinary meridians. The great thing about this meridians-opening pill is that after the monk takes it, he has a high chance of opening up one of the meridians!

Of course, the better the quality of the Pulse Opening Pill, the greater the chance of opening it up, and only the first time you take it will be effective.

Even so, this effect is terrifying enough.

Once a monk opens the seven meridians and takes this meridians, it is possible to open the eight extraordinary meridians!

The Pulse Opening Pill was extremely famous in ancient times, but unfortunately not much remains today, and even the recipe for the pill has been lost.

Su Zimo felt a little moved and leaned forward slightly.

Gu Xi turned her eyes, noticed Su Zimo's subtle movement, and said, "If you are interested, you can bid here, and the maid outside will help you pass it on."

This is a privilege exclusive to the rooms on the uppermost floor.

These rooms are all marked. For example, the room Su Zimo is in is number one, and there are ten such rooms at the top.

There are ninety houses in the area where Jindan Zhenren is located on the lower floors, that is, numbers 11 to 100.

In just a short cup of tea, this pulse-opening pill was praised by many golden elixir masters for ten thousand spiritual stones. This is only a low-grade pulse-opening pill!

These golden elixir masters are definitely not for their own use, most of them are prepared for their direct disciples.

Su Zimo took a deep breath and gave up the idea of bidding for the time being.

It's not that the spiritual stone is not enough, but that he doesn't like the quality of the elixir.

Last time at the spirit mine outside Linfeng City, Su Zimo got a lot of middle-grade spirit stones. There are now hundreds of thousands of pieces in the storage bag!

"Hey, are you short of money?" The girl in the pink skirt blinked and whispered, "If you like something, I can help you."

"No, I can afford it myself." Su Zimo refused lightly.

A flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the girl in pink skirt, and she asked with a smile: "Can't you see that you, who are in the early stage of foundation building, can actually afford to buy these things?"

After a pause, the girl in pink skirt rolled her eyes and suddenly asked: "Do you know... what kind of spiritual stones do they use to bid?"

Su Zimo was shocked and suddenly realized that he had missed something.

The bidding price in this inner workshop never mentioned whether it was a low-grade spiritual stone, a medium-grade spiritual stone, or a high-grade spiritual stone. However, he subconsciously thought that the two parties used middle-grade spiritual stones in the transaction.

You must know that spiritual stones of different grades have very different values.

Normally, one hundred low-grade spiritual stones are worth one medium-grade spiritual stone; and only one hundred middle-grade spiritual stones are worth one high-grade spiritual stone.

Of course, on top of the high-grade spiritual stones, there are also top-grade spiritual stones.

If the spiritual stones mentioned in the inner workshop's price call just now refer to high-grade spiritual stones, then Su Zimo's exchange of hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones would only amount to more than a thousand high-grade spiritual stones, which would not buy anything at all!

Gu Xi said from the side: "Everyone who has been to Tianbao Auction House knows that the transactions in the inner workshop are all high-grade spiritual stones. Only when the top-grade spiritual stones are used, they will be emphasized."

Su Zimo nodded, looking calm and composed, pretending to have known it for a long time, but secretly complaining in his heart: "This is embarrassing..."

Su Zimo's calmness might not be noticeable to others, but it could not be hidden from Gu Xi and the girl in pink skirt.

What kind of cultivation is caring

He saw through Su Zimo's lies at a glance and smiled slightly.

The girl in pink skirt looked at Su Zimo narrowly from the side, not criticizing, just giggling.

The girl in the pink skirt suddenly felt that the scholar in the blue shirt was quite interesting.

Under the gaze of the girl in pink skirt, Su Zimo couldn't sit still.

"If you continue to stay here, you won't be able to buy anything. It's better to leave as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Su Zimo stood up. Just as he was about to say goodbye to the two of them, an item was handed over to him from the auction house outside again, which caught his eye.
