Lin Sheng flew to the bluestone platform, took the spiritual bird egg with a happy face, and returned to his original position.
Han Changming's eyes revealed a hint of envy. The Han family's guardian spiritual bird was a second-grade top-grade tiger eagle. In terms of potential, the tiger eagle was far inferior to the golden-winged dove.
He was also very interested in the Golden-Winged Dove, but he did not want to compete with Lin Sheng, so he did not continue bidding. The Han family had finally produced two Jindan cultivators, so it was not appropriate to make enemies. They still needed to endure hardships and endure hardships. What the family needed now was foundation, especially the magic weapons used by Jindan cultivators.
The Han family doesn't have many third-level pill recipes, nor do they have any magic weapons, or even third-level formations. The spiritual veins of Huludao are still at the second level, which is really shabby.
After taking away the spiritual bird egg, Chen Yi Guang took out an exquisite green brocade box, and took out a misty green jade ruler from it. The top of the jade ruler was engraved with a green sun pattern, and the back was engraved with some exquisite patterns, emitting an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation.
"The magic weapon Qingyang Ruler is an offensive magic weapon. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones. Each bid increase must not be less than 10,000."
Han Changming stared at the Qingyang Ruler with a fiery gaze. He only had a third-level puppet beast in his hand and had too few means to fight the enemy.
"One hundred thousand."
"One hundred and ten thousand."
"One hundred and twenty thousand."
······
The price kept rising, and those who started bidding were all Jindan cultivators.
The price of a magic weapon is more than 200,000, and the price of a flying magic weapon is higher.
Han Changming participated in the auction, but there were many Jindan cultivators competing, and the price soon exceeded 200,000 and continued to rise.
"Three hundred thousand."
A nightingale-like female voice sounded from the corner.
Han Changming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman in a black dress with a black veil on her face. The woman in the black dress was tall and slender, and she exuded a powerful spiritual pressure. She was obviously a Jindan cultivator.
The Jindan cultivators present looked at each other in surprise. One hundred thousand spirit stones were added at once. One hundred thousand spirit stones was not a small number.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
Han Changming added 50,000 spirit stones. As a Jindan cultivator, he felt uneasy without a magic weapon.
"Four hundred thousand."
The woman in the black dress remained unmoved and added 50,000 spirit stones, looking like a wealthy person.
Han Changming frowned. Four hundred thousand is not a small number. The spirit stones he had on him were only more than four hundred thousand. This Qingyang ruler was not worth four hundred thousand spirit stones. The price was a bit high.
He hesitated again and again and did not speak again. The woman in the black skirt successfully bought the Qingyang ruler at a high price of 400,000 spirit stones.
Han Changming was disappointed, but also a little envious. A magic weapon was sold at a high price of hundreds of thousands. It would be great if the clan leader could refine a magic weapon.
The woman in the black dress flew onto the bluestone platform, paid 400,000 spirit stones, and took away the Qingyang ruler.
When she approached Han Changming, the spirit beast bag on Han Changming's waist bulged.
A flash of surprise passed through Han Changming's eyes, and he looked at the woman in the black dress curiously. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion suddenly reacted just now. The woman in the black dress must have raised a third-level poisonous insect, otherwise the Amethyst Flying Scorpion would not have reacted so much.
"Two bottles of the third-level elixir, Youyue Pill. Seniors who practice water-attributed techniques should not miss this. Youyue Pill can increase mana and speed up practice. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 10,000."
Chen Yi Guang held two white porcelain bottles and spoke loudly.
"Youyue Pill!"
Han Changming was a little disappointed and did not open his bid. Neither he nor Han Zhangxiang practiced water-attributed skills, and their family's foundation was not very strong now, so they had to use the best steel on the blade. If he had enough money, he could bid for the two bottles of Youyue Pills and add them to the family treasury.
"One hundred thousand."
"One hundred and ten thousand."
"130,000."
······
There were not many Jindan cultivators present, but the bidding was fierce, and Lin Sheng also participated in the auction.
He did not practice water-attributed techniques, but there were Jindan cultivators in the Divine Weapon Sect who practiced water-attributed techniques, and third-level elixirs were relatively rare in the surrounding seas.
It is worth noting that the woman in the black dress also participated in the auction.
The price continued to rise and soon broke through the 200,000 mark.
A low-grade third-level demon pill costs 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones. Add in other auxiliary medicines, and the cost is not low. It is normal for a bottle of third-level pills to sell for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Lin Sheng frowned and added 50,000 spirit stones.
"Three hundred thousand."
The woman in the black dress shouted, her voice was not loud, but it could be heard throughout the entire venue.
Han Changming showed an interested expression on his face. He didn't want to confront Lin Sheng, but he didn't expect that someone would go against Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "Three hundred and twenty thousand."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
The woman in the black dress added 30,000 spirit stones, which was very generous.
Lin Sheng glanced at the woman in the black dress with a confused look in his eyes. The woman in the black dress must be very wealthy, so she must be from a prominent family.
He did not bid again, and the two bottles of Youyue Pill fell into the hands of the woman in the black dress.
The woman in the black dress leaped onto the bluestone platform and communicated with Chen Yiguang via telepathy.
Chen Yiguang clasped his fists towards the monks and said politely, "This senior doesn't have enough spirit stones on him, so he plans to auction some things. You are welcome to bid enthusiastically, but we will not be responsible if you make a mistake."
The woman in the black dress took out two green jade boxes and a light green wooden box. The two jade boxes contained an intact blue animal skin and some golden soil. The wooden box contained a third-level low-grade demon pill.
"A third-grade, low-grade bull python hide, golden soil, and a third-grade, low-grade demon pill. The three items are auctioned separately. The starting price is 30,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000."
"Golden Essence Soil! It's actually this kind of spiritual soil."
Han Changming said in surprise that Golden Essence Soil is a kind of Xitu. If spiritual herbs are planted with Golden Essence Soil, the herbs will grow better and have better efficacy. In addition to planting, Golden Essence Soil can also be used to refine magic weapons.
There are more water-attributed refining materials in the East China Sea, while earth-attributed refining materials are relatively rare. It is rare to come across earth-attributed refining materials, so Han Changming naturally will not let it go.
What he didn't expect was that Lin Sheng and Xu Ziyi were also interested in the golden soil.
Lin Sheng bought the golden soil and third-level animal skin at a high price of 180,000 spirit stones, and the third-level demon pill was bought by Xu Ziyi.
Chen Yi Guang flipped his palm and took out a black flag about a foot long. There was a hole as big as a finger on the flag, and there were several clearly visible cracks on the flagpole.
"The seniors present here should have heard of Suzaku Zhenren! This Suzaku Flag is the magic weapon that made Suzaku Zhenren famous. However, the Suzaku Flag has been damaged and needs to be repaired before it can be used. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 20,000."
Chen Yi Guang gently waved the Suzaku flag, and a large black flame surged out of the flag, and the temperature in the venue suddenly rose.
Han Changming and other Jindan cultivators sitting in the front row could clearly feel the scorching heat.
"The Suzaku Flag, the magic weapon that made Suzaku Master famous?"
Han Changming's face showed a thoughtful look. It seemed that Zhuque Zhenren had really fallen, and even his famous magic weapon was lost.
"I'll give you two hundred thousand."
Shangguan Yuwei spoke up and directly added 100,000 spirit stones, showing her wealth and power.
Lin Sheng hesitated for a moment and did not bid. If the Suzaku Flag was intact, he might have made a bid, but the Suzaku Flag was severely damaged and was not worth the high price of two hundred thousand.
Xu Ziyi hesitated for a moment and added 20,000 spirit stones.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand."
Shangguan Yuwei added another 30,000 spirit stones, looking determined to win.
Xu Ziyi didn't say anything else. Han Changming was interested in the Suzaku Flag, but the flag was so damaged that it was not worth his spending a large sum of money to buy it.
Shangguan Yuwei successfully bought the Vermillion Bird flag. Even without the Shangguan family's reputation, no one would compete with her for the Vermillion Bird flag.
Shangguan Yuwei could spend 250,000 spirit stones to buy a broken magic weapon, but others couldn't. It was too wasteful.
"The last auction item is a set of talismans and five-element demon-sealing talismans."
Chen Yi Guang took out an exquisite green wooden box and took out five talismans of different colors from it. Each talisman exuded an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation.
“A complete set of talismans!”
There was a flash of surprise in Han Changming's eyes, a set of talismans was quite powerful, but also quite difficult to refine. Simply put, a set of talismans could be understood as a simplified version of an array formation, the difference was that as long as the formation tools were not damaged, the array formation could continue to operate, while a set of talismans were disposable.
"Each talisman is a third-level talisman. It can only be used when they are sacrificed at the same time. It is extremely powerful and can easily trap three Jindan cultivators. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones, and the price can be increased by 30,000 spirit stones each time."
As soon as Chen Yiguang finished speaking, Lu Haibin shouted, "One hundred thousand."
"130,000."
"One hundred and sixty thousand."
······
Talismans are disposable items, and a complete set of talismans is expensive. There are not many bidders. Lu Haibin bought this set of Five Elements Demon-Sealing Talismans at a high price of 250,000.
Han Changming actually also wanted to bid for the Five Elements Demon-Sealing Talisman, but he was short of money, so he could only watch Lu Haibin buy the set of Five Elements Demon-Sealing Talisman.
This set of Five Elements Demon-Sealing Talismans is expensive and must be very powerful. It can come in handy for future generations when they are treasure hunting or adventuring, and it is a life-saving weapon.
After bidding away the set of Five Elements Demon-Sealing Talismans, Chen Yi Guang announced the end of the auction and the monks left one after another.
After returning to his residence, Han Changming instructed Han Debiao and the others, "Don't leave the market. Let's stay on Shark Island for a while. Uncle Wu, I'll help you think of a way to get the gourd evil spirit."
Han Debiao nodded and said, "Changming, if you can get it, that's great. If you can't, forget it. There's no need to conflict with Lin Sheng over this."
Han Changming nodded and said, "I know my limits, don't worry!"
He looked at Han Benfu and said sternly, "Benfu, don't go out. Stay with your father and be careful. There's no guarantee that Lin Sheng won't make a move on you."
One must be on guard against others. Judging from Lin Sheng's reaction today, Lin Sheng is not a broad-minded person. Han Changming must be on guard against Lin Sheng.
"Got it, Dad."
Han Benfu agreed obediently. Han Changming was doing it for her own good, so she naturally would not refuse.
At this moment, Han Benmin walked in quickly, looking solemn: "Uncle Jiu, Senior Lu Haibin is here."
"Lu Haibin? What is he doing here?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned. The Han family and the Lu family had no relationship. This was the first time he and Lu Haibin met. Could it be that his previous sale of the third-level spiritual water was exposed? Or did Lu Haibin have other purposes
"Husband, I'm afraid Lu Haibin is here for Benfu."
Ye Xue sighed, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Han Changming was confused and asked, "For Benfu? What's going on? Madam, please explain clearly."
"Husband, it's like this. Some time ago, I met the Lu family's disciples at a party. One of them was a foundation-building cultivator named Lu Xiaofeng. He seemed to be interested in me. Lu Xiaofeng is the grandson of Lu Haibin and has already cultivated to the late stage of foundation-building."
Ye Xue briefly recounted the whole story, and Han Benfu was somewhat disgusted with Lu Xiaofeng.
Han Changming frowned. When Han Benfu and Lu Xiaofeng met for the first time, Lu Xiaofeng was very courteous to Han Benfu. It was naturally impossible that it was love at first sight. If he guessed correctly, Lu Xiaofeng had received instructions from Lu Haibin. He had entered the Jindan stage. Whoever married Han Benfu would have a father-in-law in the Jindan stage.
"A guest is a guest. I will invite him in. No matter what Lu Haibin's purpose is, we cannot neglect him. Madam, please come with me to meet Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Han Changming gave the order, and Han Benmin took the order and left.
Not long after, Han Changming and his wife met Lu Haibin in the conference room. Lu Xiaofeng was also there.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have heard that you are proficient in alchemy and have wanted to get to know you for a long time. If you don't come, I will pay you a visit after a while."
Han Changming said politely, looking at Lu Xiaofeng beside Lu Haibin.
Lu Xiaofeng was tall, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, fair skin, and the appearance of a handsome gentleman. He stood beside Lu Haibin with a respectful look.
Lu Haibin stroked his long beard, smiled heartily, and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, thank you for your praise. I only know a little bit. Xiaofeng, why don't you pay your respects to Senior Han and Madam Han."
Lu Xiaofeng strode forward, bowed to Han Changming, and said solemnly: "Junior Lu Xiaofeng greets Senior Han and Auntie."
Han Changming nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad, young and promising, Brother Lu has taught you well!"
"Senior Han, you are too kind. I am far inferior to Fairy Han."
Lu Xiaofeng said modestly with a respectful look.
"Friend Han, please stop praising him. This kid is far inferior to your daughter."
Lu Haibin changed his tone and said, "I have many descendants, but this boy has better qualifications. Fellow Daoist Han, I came to you this time to ask for your hand in marriage. Xiaofeng wants to become a dual cultivation partner with Ling Qianjin. What do you think?"
The Han family is relatively weak, and Han Changming has advanced to the Jindan stage. Lu Haibin hopes to win over the Han family through marriage and tie the Han family to the Lu family's warship.
Having a father-in-law in the Jindan stage is also a good thing for Lu Xiaofeng.
They didn't know Han Benfu's qualifications, otherwise they wouldn't have come to propose marriage. With Han Benfu's qualifications, it was only a matter of time before she advanced to the Jindan stage. Not to mention that Han Changming would not agree, Han Zhangxiang would not agree either.
From an emotional perspective, Lu Xiaofeng married Han Benfu for the sake of profit, and his starting point was wrong. From an interest perspective, the Lu family and Tinghai Pavilion are in competition and have constant disputes in private. It is impossible for the Han family to form an alliance with the Lu family. Both ends will suffer, and there is doomed to be no good result.
Huoyun Sect and the Lu Family formed an alliance, but what happened? After Huoyun Sect was destroyed, the Lu Family didn't say a word and even occupied some of Huoyun Sect's territory.
From this point of view, the Han family cannot marry into the Lu family, and the Lu family is calculating.
Han Changming smiled calmly and said, "Daoyou Lu, this child of Benfu is devoted to Taoism. She doesn't want to consider love for the time being. Young people should go out more. If you can make Benfu change her mind, I have no objection."
"Friend Lu, you may not know that Benfu is a stubborn girl. Once she makes up her mind, no one can stop her. We only have this one daughter, and we don't want her to get married too early."
Ye Xue echoed, the doting tone in her words clearly revealed.
Lu Haibin was not surprised. He just said it casually. If it can succeed, it would be great. If it can't succeed, it doesn't matter.
"Friend Han, excuse me, didn't you go to the open sea with Madam Lu from Tinghai Pavilion? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Lu Haibin turned his eyes and asked curiously.
The main reason for his visit this time was to inquire about the situation of Lu Yun and others. The Lu family had spies all over the Red Algae Sea. When he heard that the Sea Pavilion had mobilized a large number of cultivators to the open sea, it could not be hidden from the Lu family's spies.
Han Changming smiled slightly and said, "I returned to the Red Algae Sea to impact the Jindan stage. With the blessing of my ancestors, I was lucky enough to advance to the Jindan stage."
Naturally, he would not reveal a single word, so there was no guarantee that Lu Haifeng did not have other thoughts.
"I have heard from Fairy Xu that Fellow Daoist Han once exchanged for spiritual water from our Lu family. If Fellow Daoist Han wants spiritual water, just say hello to our Lu family."
Lu Haibin said meaningfully that Xu Ziyi chatted with him and mentioned that the spiritual water that Han Changming brought out had a bonus effect on alchemy and the effect was very good.
The Lu family's spiritual water has a bonus effect on alchemy, but it's not as good as Xu Ziyi said.
"That's great. At the beginning, Han exchanged spiritual water with two cultivators who claimed to be disciples of Black Crow Island. I gave some spiritual water to Fairy Xu in return. Unfortunately, I can no longer get this kind of spiritual water. I wonder if your Lu family strictly prohibits the outflow of spiritual water."
Han Changming looked curious, and his expression didn't seem fake.
Lu Haibin hesitated for a moment and said, "We are indeed strictly prohibiting the outflow of spiritual water. If Daoist Han likes it, I can give some to Daoist Han."
He took out a green porcelain bottle and handed it to Han Changming.
Han Changming thanked him and accepted the green porcelain bottle.
Lu Haibin started chatting with Han Changming. He asked about things in the outer sea. Han Changming didn't know Lu Haibin's purpose and tried to be vague about it.
Judging from Lu Haibin's words, he had been to the open sea and stayed there for a long time.
Half an hour later, Lu Haibin stood up and said, "Friend Han, I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer. If you are free another day, you are welcome to visit our Lu family."
"Of course. Han is holding a Dan-forming ceremony. Fellow Daoist Lu, please come over for a drink when you are free."
Han Changming said politely and extended an invitation to Lu Haibin.
"When I have time, I will definitely go to congratulate Fellow Daoist Han. Fellow Daoist Han, Madam Han, please stay."
Lu Haibin agreed and left with Lu Xiaofeng.
"Husband, Lu Haibin seems to be asking about the situation of Tinghai Pavilion in the outer sea. Is the Lu family going to take any action against Tinghai Pavilion?"
Ye Xue asked curiously, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
