"Four hundred thousand."
"Four hundred and fifty thousand."
"I'll give you 500,000."
······
The quality of the top-grade defensive magic weapon refined by True Man Sanjue was naturally beyond reproach. Competition was very fierce and the price quickly exceeded 700,000.
Han Changming was also very interested in the Four Symbols Shield, but looking at the current situation, the transaction price of the Four Symbols Shield would definitely be over one million. The price of a defensive magic weapon was much higher than that of an offensive magic weapon, and a flying magic weapon was even more expensive.
"I will pay 900,000."
A somewhat hoarse male voice suddenly sounded, startling everyone in the room.
Han Changming looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short, hunchbacked old man in a white robe. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and ravines. Judging from his aura, he was obviously a Nascent Soul cultivator.
In a private room on the second floor, True Man Sanjue and True Man Tiansha were drinking tea and chatting.
"Hey, it's Bai Xuzi. Didn't they say he died in the Immortal Burial Ruins? I haven't seen him for over a hundred years."
True Man Sanjue said with some curiosity.
Bai Xuzi is a casual cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. The martial arts he practices are known for their defense. As far as True Man Sanjue knows, Bai Xuzi went to the Immortal Burial Ruins to look for treasure more than a hundred years ago and has been missing since then.
"The martial arts this old fellow practices are known for their defense, so he won't die that easily. He is probably recovering from his injuries. We haven't seen him for over a hundred years, so his injuries are probably healed after such a long time."
Tiansha Zhenren's tone was calm. He changed his tone and said, "Could this guy have obtained some good things from the Immortal Burial Ruins? Can you ask him to take out a few of them?"
"Send someone to raise the price and make him spend more money. He probably doesn't have many spirit stones left due to his injuries."
As True Man Sanjue spoke, he took out a light green magic disk, entered a magic formula, and made some gestures.
"This senior bids one million. Is there any senior who bids higher? This is a top-grade defensive magic weapon. A step higher is a defensive spiritual treasure."
Qian Dayou's voice was full of temptation. For most Jindan cultivators, owning a top-grade attack magic weapon was a luxury, let alone a top-grade defensive magic weapon.
"Friend Han, do you know this senior?"
Han Changming sent a message to Han Wenbin, his face full of curiosity.
There are many hidden talents in the outer sea. Han Changming doesn't know many Nascent Soul cultivators. After all, he has been staying in Ziyue Island for many years. Han Wenbin grew up in the outer sea and is knowledgeable. He must know many high-level cultivators.
"This is Senior Chen, with the Taoist name Bai Xuzi. Senior Chen is a wandering cultivator who lives anywhere in the world. He has no fixed residence and his whereabouts are uncertain."
Han Wenbin explained that he thought about it and realized that he had not heard from Bai Xuzi for more than a hundred years.
"Nascent Soul Stage casual cultivator!"
There was a flash of surprise in Han Changming's eyes. He thought it was the leader of the immortal cultivation sect, but he didn't expect it to be a casual cultivator.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand."
Someone raised the price.
Bai Xuzi looked calm and said, "One million."
He went to the Immortal Burial Ruins to search for treasure and was seriously injured. His natal magic weapon was also destroyed. He urgently needed a top-grade magic weapon as his natal magic weapon. This Four Symbols Shield was a good choice.
"One million and five hundred thousand."
Someone added 50,000 spirit stones.
Bai Xuzi frowned, glanced at the box on the second floor, and said, "One million and one hundred thousand, if other Taoist friends are interested, I'll give it to you!"
He said this to the other Nascent Soul cultivators. One million one hundred thousand was already a very high price to buy a top-grade defensive magic weapon. If his own magic weapon had not been destroyed, he would not have spent such a high price to buy this Four Symbols Shield.
After hearing this, no one spoke again.
Han Debiao was fine. He originally wanted to bid for a heavy-duty, mid-grade magic weapon. He didn't know whether Lei Hu's source of information was wrong or the auction organizer temporarily replaced the treasure, so no heavy-duty, mid-grade magic weapon appeared.
The monks only felt a gust of wind passing by, and Bai Xuzi suddenly appeared on the bluestone platform.
Qian Dayou nodded respectfully and said, "Senior Chen plans to auction a few items on the spot. Everyone is welcome to bid."
Bai Xuzi took out five green porcelain bottles and a palm-sized green wooden box, placed them on the green jade table, and said, "Five Vajra Bone Tempering Pills can strengthen the strength of the body. Even if you are not a physical cultivator, taking this pill will increase your strength. This pill is most suitable for physical cultivators. The base price is 50,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000."
Auctioning them individually would bring the greatest profit, as pills that could enhance physical strength were rare.
Bai Xuzi is not a physical cultivator. Even if he takes all five Vajra Bone Tempering Pills, his body is not as good as that of a physical cultivator. He got this bottle of pills from the Immortal Burial Ruins.
In order to heal his wounds, he didn't have many spirit stones left. If he put precious things up for auction, he was worried that they would attract the covetousness of other Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Vajra Bone Tempering Pill!"
Han Debiao's eyes lit up. Since he failed to buy a heavy magic weapon, it was not bad to buy a Vajra Bone Tempering Pill.
There were not many physical cultivators in the Jindan stage. Han Debiao spent 120,000 spirit stones to buy a Vajra Bone Tempering Pill, Lei Hu spent 500,000 spirit stones to buy three, and Han Wenbin spent 140,000 spirit stones to buy a Vajra Bone Tempering Pill.
A third-level elixir that improves magic power costs forty to fifty thousand spirit stones. The price of the Vajra Bone Tempering Pill is even higher than that of the elixir that improves magic power. It can only be said that rare things are valuable, and there are too few elixirs that can enhance physical strength.
"A fourth-level low-grade demon pill, the base price is two hundred thousand, and each bid increase must not be less than fifty thousand."
Bai Xuzi said in a deep voice and opened the wooden box. Inside was a light blue demon pill with some light golden lines on its surface.
"Fourth-level demon pill."
Han Changming's eyes became hot. The efficacy of a fourth-level demon pill was comparable to that of a three-thousand-year-old elixir. If a demon beast wanted to advance to the fourth level, it would have to devour countless immortal cultivators and elixirs.
The reserve price of this fourth-level demon pill is two hundred thousand, and the transaction price will only be higher.
As expected, this demon pill was bought by Master Sanjue at a high price of four hundred and fifty thousand.
Bai Xuzi paid all the spirit stones and left with the Four Symbols Shield.
Jin Fugui took out a white boat the size of a palm. After injecting magic power into it, the size of the white boat suddenly increased to five meters long, shaped like a crescent moon, and the body of the boat was engraved with dense green runes.
"The White Moon Boat is a top-grade flying magic weapon, made from thousand-year-old white poplar wood. If you don't consider the consumption of mana, it can easily travel a million miles a day."
"A million miles a day!"
Han Changming's eyes flashed with surprise. Ziyue Island and Haoran City are millions of miles apart. It takes more than a month for a Jindan cultivator to travel back and forth. If he had this White Moon Boat, it would take less than three times to make a round trip.
"The base price is 300,000 Spirit Stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 50,000."
As soon as Qian Dayou finished speaking, someone started bidding.
"Three hundred thousand."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand."
"Four hundred thousand."
······
The competition is quite fierce, and there are many Nascent Soul cultivators among them.
This White Moon Boat was eventually sold at a high price of 1.5 million and was bought by a Jindan cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.
After the White Moon Boat was sold, the auction officially ended and the monks left the venue one after another.
Han Changming gained a lot this time and had a faint smile on his face.
As soon as he walked out of the auction venue, Chen Yanchuan caught up with him and said politely, "Friend Han, my son would like to invite you to have a drink. I wonder if you are willing to do me the honor?"
"Your son?"
Han Changming frowned, his face full of confusion.
He didn't know the young master Chen Yanchuan mentioned, and didn't know what the other party was up to.
"My son is Lu Yunjie, the descendant of Tiansha Zhenren. Fairy Qinglian should have heard of him."
Chen Yanchuan explained.
Han Changming looked at Fairy Qinglian, who nodded thoughtfully and said calmly, "Daoyou Lu is indeed the descendant of Tiansha Zhenren."
If Lu Yunjie sent someone to invite him and Han Changming directly refused, it would be too disrespectful to Lu Yunjie. If he went to the banquet alone, he was worried that Lu Yunjie would cheat.
"Friend Han, since it was Friend Lu who invited you, go ahead and don't worry! We'll wait for you to come back."
Han Wenbin said this with a smile, to encourage Han Changming.
He could see that Han Changming seemed to be afraid of Lu Yunjie. If Lu Yunjie wanted to deal with Han Changming, he would not do it in the market town.
Han Changming thought for a moment and said to Ye Xin, "Madam, you go back first! I'll go see Fellow Daoist Lu."
Ye Xin nodded and said nothing. Han Changming was very sensible in his actions.
Han Changming followed Chen Yanchuan to a secluded green-tiled courtyard, where many exotic flowers and plants were planted. Lu Yunjie was sitting in the stone pavilion with a smile on his face. He had prepared a banquet to entertain Han Changming.
"Friend Han, this is my son."
Chen Yanchuan pointed at Lu Yunjie and introduced him.
"My name is Lu Yunjie, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Han."
Lu Yunjie clasped his hands together and spoke politely.
Han Changming quickly returned the greeting and said, "Han greets Fellow Daoist Lu."
"I heard that Yanchuan and you had some minor conflicts, but that's all in the past. As the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. I'll be the peacemaker and wipe out your grudges. What do you think, Brother Han?"
Lu Yunjie said with a smile, looking at Han Changming with a half-smile.
Han Changming was stunned. Before meeting Lu Yunjie, he had thought of many possibilities, such as setting up formations to deal with him or poisoning him.
He never expected that Lu Yunjie would actually want to play peacemaker. Could it be that there was a poison in the wine
Even though he had the Green Lotus Jade Liquid in his hand, he couldn't guarantee that it could cure all poisons.
As far as he knew, there were some strange poisons that could kill Nascent Soul cultivators, so Han Changming did not dare to be careless.
Lu Yunjie came forward in person, but Han Changming refused directly, which was a lack of respect. Of course, maybe Lu Yunjie was setting a trap, so Han Changming had to be careful.
His eyes rolled, and he took out an exquisite blue wine pot and two wine glasses, saying, "Brother Daoist Lu is right. No fight, no friendship. All previous grudges are wiped out."
He poured two glasses of spirit wine and handed one to Chen Yanchuan.
Chen Yanchuan looked embarrassed. Han Changming was an alchemist and he was worried that it might be poisonous.
Lu Yunjie nodded and said, "Friend Han is right. Yanchuan, just drink this glass of wine!"
He was not worried that Han Changming would poison him. If Han Changming really did that, it would be like slapping Lu Yunjie in the face. At that time, Lu Yunjie would not let it go.
A tree needs bark and a person needs dignity. Lu Yunjie has given Han Changming enough face.
Chen Yanchuan drank the cup of spiritual wine with gritted teeth. He was surprised to find that a huge amount of spiritual energy rose in his abdomen. This spiritual wine had the effect of improving magical powers.
"Alright, let's write off the past grudges. Fellow Daoist Han, if you need my help, just let me know. I still have some influence in Penglai Market."
Lu Yunjie said confidently.
Han Changming agreed with a smile and felt relieved. He was worried that Lu Yunjie would force him to place restrictions on each other!
The world is bustling with people coming and going for profit. Han Changming discovered that he had underestimated those second-generation immortals. He thought that Lu Yunjie would stand up for Chen Yanchuan and target himself. Perhaps Han Changming underestimated second-generation immortals like Lu Yunjie.
Among the second generation of immortals, there are good-for-nothings as well as young heroes.
He was also very clear that Lu Yunjie acted as a peacemaker probably because he was impressed by his alchemy skills. If he was an ordinary Jindan cultivator, Lu Yunjie would most likely stand up for Chen Yanchuan.
"If there is any need, Han will definitely speak up."
Han Changming agreed with a smile.
After chatting for a while, Han Changming said goodbye and left. Lu Yunjie and Chen Yanchuan personally saw Han Changming off, giving Han Changming enough face.
After seeing Han Changming off, Lu Yunjie's smile froze and he asked Chen Yanchuan, "How does the spirit wine taste?"
"Yes, it has the effect of improving magic power, but I don't know if it is poisonous."
Chen Yanchuan looked nervous.
Lu Yunjie flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized green wooden box, threw it to Chen Yanchuan, and said: "This is the Qingling Pill. As long as it is not a strange poison that can kill Yuanying cultivators, it can dissolve it."
Chen Yanchuan took the green wooden box, opened it and saw a light green pill inside, emitting a strange fragrance.
"Thank you for the reward, sir."
The slight unhappiness in Chen Yanchuan's heart disappeared. He was originally feeling a little aggrieved, thinking that Lu Yunjie didn't value him at all. Lu Yunjie took out the detoxification pill, which was still nice to him.
"Let's just let this matter pass. Don't have a direct conflict with him in the future. Spread the news and let Zhao Tuozi believe that we have a good relationship with him. The friend of my enemy is also my enemy."
Lu Yunjie ordered.
"Yes, sir."
Chen Yanchuan agreed readily.
······
In a courtyard, Ye Xin and Han Debiao were talking about something, both of them had sad looks on their faces.
They were worried that Lu Yunjie was planning to murder Han Changming. If Lu Yunjie really did that, they would have no way to deal with him.
Just then, Han Changming walked in with a faint smile on his face.
"Husband, are you okay?"
Ye Xin stood up and looked at Han Changming nervously, afraid that she might notice something wrong.
"It's okay. Lu Yunjie is just trying to be a peacemaker and resolve the feud between us and Chen Yanchuan."
Han Changming recounted what had happened.
"What Lu Yunjie said may not be true, we still have to be on guard. By the way, Fairy Qinglian will leave in a few days, so let's stay a few more days!"
Han Debiao said in a deep voice.
Han Changming nodded and chatted for a few words. Then they went back to their rooms to take pills or refine magic weapons.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on the cushion. He took out the invisible needle, threw it forward and let it float in the air.
He opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of red-yellow flames, wrapping around the shadowless needle.
After refining this treasure, Han Changming now had one more trump card when fighting with others.
