There were three Jian Wuxin brothers back then, and Jian Wuxin was the most inconspicuous one. His senior brother Jian Wuxie was more powerful than him, and his junior brother Jian Wuxin was more qualified than him. But in the end, the position of headmaster was given to Jian Wuxin, just because of Jian Wuxin. Being cautious by nature, this kind of caution is enough to defend the city, but not enough to expand.
Everyone's personality can be seen from their training. Those with a fiery personality like to practice fiery sword fighting, while those with a cautious personality only want steady and steady sword fighting. Jian Wuxin has been cultivating step by step for so many years and finally reached the Dao level. In the Yuan realm, there is no violent explosion or long-term stagnation.
Jian Wuxin's biggest wish, as he said when he led Zhao Jiuge to participate in the Seven Holy Lands Exchange Meeting, is not that all disciples of the Xuantian Sword Sect are like dragons, but that they can have a safe journey on the road of cultivation, without asking for great progress. The best is to survive the sect martial arts tournament and experience. It can be seen that Jian Wuxin only has one sect in mind.
Zhao Jiuge, however, has a different mind than his master Jian Wuxin. Instead, he has his heart set on the world. What he hopes more is that in this world of cultivation, everyone can be equal. No matter the level of strength, there will no longer be killings and distinctions among people. I also hope that there will not be so many lives in vain in the world, and that as the strength increases, people's conscience will gradually disappear.
Zhao Jiuge, who was slightly absent-minded, then turned his head and continued to look at the shrewd man. The shrewd man immediately felt a little frightened. Even the thin man with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes immediately stood up and lowered his hands slightly, with a respectful look waiting for his questions. Zhao Jiuge looked at At this scene, I don’t know whether I should be sad or happy. This is an unfair scene in this world. Those with low cultivation should be inferior to others, and those monks with advanced cultivation should take away their lives if they are unhappy? But at present, this matter is not something that he, a small magic pill, can worry about and change.
"Where is the auction house in Qingcang City?" Zhao Jiuge didn't talk nonsense with them, but went straight to the point.
As soon as these words came out, the shrewd man and the thin man with sinister eyebrows were stunned at the same time, not because they didn't know, but because the question was too simple. They didn't expect that a monk in the spiritual elixir realm would go to such trouble to just ask such a question. One thing.
Seeing that the two people looked stunned and seemed to be a little hesitant, Zhao Jiuge frowned slightly, then took out hundreds of spiritual stones from the savings ring in his hand, and threw them casually in front of the shrewd man. He said patiently, "It's time to tell you what you know."
Seeing the hundreds of spirit stones, the shrewd man was stunned at first, and then felt a burst of joy. These many spirit stones were enough for him to practice for three months. He didn't expect that he could gain so much by just opening his mouth. This is comparable to Forging magic weapons or working as a thug is much faster. Forging a treasure for others is only the same price. Just now, I was at a loss because I wanted to see some bad thoughts motivating them. However, Zhao Jiuge doesn't care about such a small amount of spiritual stones at all. He is now different from when he first started.
Seeing that Zhao Jiuge looked a little impatient, the shrewd man dared to delay for a moment and said quickly, "There is one in Qingcang City, and the level is higher than the ordinary auction house. I can take you there in person. The most important thing is The thing is, I don’t know if you’re lucky, Master, but the auction house that opens every month happened to have another batch of good things today.”
Seeing Zhao Jiuge's strength and his extraordinary attitude, the shrewd man already regarded Zhao Jiuge as a young man in his heart, and his tone became flattering unconsciously.
After Zhao Jiuge heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. There was no way out, but there was a bright future in another village. He didn't expect to be able to catch up with the once-a-month auction, so he said excitedly, "Take me there quickly."
There was no reason for the shrewd man to refuse, so he quickly ordered his third brother, the man with the sinister eyebrows, to lead the way. As for himself, he had to greet the shop. After all, he was the most powerful. If the three of them had any thoughts later, he He was afraid that his second brother would suffer, so he took precautions. They had seen too many evil people, so they couldn't keep an eye out.
Zhao Jiuge didn't care too much about who would take him there, but because he was anxious and wanted to get to the auction house as soon as possible, he just kept urging this man with a sly eyebrow to take the three of him.
Soon a group of four people left the shop, led by the man with a sinister eyebrow, and walked out of the alley, following him as they wandered around Qingcang City.
Perhaps because he was a little excited to obtain hundreds of spiritual stones easily, or perhaps he was a little embarrassed, the man with a sinister eyebrow chattered non-stop along the way, and at the same time, he also had some intention of showing off in front of Zhao Jiuge, and told a lot of other news, and Zhao Jiuge also learned a lot of other information from it.
For example, the entire Qingcang City is guarded by the four major families in the city. As for some nearby sects, they don't care about the affairs in Qingcang City. They are only responsible for surrounding security issues, unless they find some evil people doing something that is outrageous to both humans and gods. Only when things are settled can things be settled, and as for normal times, they just practice without worrying about worldly affairs. The four major families in Qingcang City are the Bai family, the Li family, the Cheng family, and the Zhang family. Zhao Jiuge didn't take it seriously about the strength and intricate relationships between the four major families.
The reason why Zhao Jiuge cares about the affairs of the four major families is because it involves the affairs of the auction house, and the entire auction house is opened by the four major families. Each of them gets a share of the pie. The daily income of the entire Qingcang City is so large. I don’t know how many there are. Most of these interests are divided by the four major families. The rest of the people can only eat some scraps of minced meat or drink some soup that the four major families don’t want. In Qingcang City, not only shops and other things have to pay, even in the city You also need to pay a valuable amount of spiritual stones to live here.
And it is precisely because of the rich heritage of the four major families that the auction house jointly organized by them also gradually increased. There were countless good things in it. Later, the auction house in Qingcang City became more and more famous, and finally evolved into The monks from the entire western Huangzhou region basically come to Qingcang City to buy and sell the things they need, so there are more and more good things here. Not only are the four major families selling them, but many people also come here to consign their things. Even the men and horses of the four major families are jealous of the things, but unfortunately they can't take them by force. They can only seize them through financial means at the auction house. At most, they only know the situation a little earlier than others. The monks who sell things will be charged one-tenth of the fee, and those who buy things need to pay the entrance fee before entering the venue.
Not long after, under the leadership of this sinister-looking man, a few people finally came to the back of a hidden building at noon. This street was the back door of some buildings, so there were no people there.
After a few people walked inside, the man raised his finger and pointed at a building in front of him and whispered, "Sir, this is the auction house of Qingcang City. It is usually not open to the public except on auction days. Even though the door is not very eye-catching, there is actually a cave inside. The auction usually only starts at night, so it will be dark for a while, so you can go in first."
"Is this right here? Don't you go in with us?"
Looking at this really inconspicuous place in front of him, Zhao Jiuge was a little surprised, but he did not doubt the man's words. Zhao Jiuge believed that he did not have the guts to lie to himself, but he just looked at this, which was obviously the back door of this building, with a roll of black Zhao Jiuge didn't know what the rules were at the door blocked by a curtain.
"Young Master, we don't have the qualifications to enter here. If we offend the four major families, we won't be able to hang out in Qingcang City in the future. Generally, those who are rich or noble are not qualified to enter. I see your status, Young Master. If you don't think so, they should treat you as if you are coming in. There will be people waiting for you all the way after passing through this inconspicuous door." The man with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes explained patiently. There was just a bit of helplessness in his eyes as he was running for life. He was afraid that Zhao Jiuge would have to be punished if he was unhappy. Let yourself go in, then it will be difficult for you to be a human being. Maybe this is the tragedy of little people.
"Then you go first." Zhao Jiuge waved his hand carelessly and said without turning his face. After receiving Zhao Jiuge's signal, the man with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes immediately felt relieved and left the street, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
After Zhao Jiuge and Pei Susu looked at each other for a while, and saw Pei Susu nodding, Zhao Jiuge took the lead and led Pei Susu and Sanwu to open the inconspicuous black curtain and walked in.
As soon as he entered, he could indeed see seven or eight men in black with extraordinary aura and late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm waiting at the corner. The leader of the group had a cultivation level of early-stage Spiritual Pill Realm. The clothes of these men in black were There are patterns embroidered on them, and I don’t know which of the four major families they belong to, but even the gatekeepers have such strong strength.
Seeing the three people coming in, a man in black immediately stepped forward and walked towards the three people respectfully. He did not look down on the three people because of their young faces. After all, even the other two among the three people There was no spiritual power fluctuation, but Zhao Jiuge vaguely exuded the aura of the spiritual elixir realm, which naturally made them not to underestimate him. Instead, he asked with a smile on his face, "Hello, please show me your invitation."
"Invitation? I don't have one."
Zhao Jiuge was dumbfounded when he heard this. He didn't have any invitations. The man with the sly eyebrows didn't even ask for an invitation when he brought them here.
"Sir, it's like this. Our auction house is not accessible to ordinary people. Generally, acquaintances will have invitations, and people who come here for the first time or are not monks nearby must either have Nascent Soul realm cultivation or be able to get Thirty thousand spirit stones." Seeing that Zhao Jiuge did not have an invitation, the man in black was not angry at all, and still said respectfully, who can do things here is not a well-rounded person, otherwise he has no eyesight to offend people. That's not good. They won't look at a person because of external factors. After all, monks with advanced cultivation have too many quirks.
Hearing the two conditions mentioned by the man in black, Zhao Jiuge couldn't help but feel a little angry. He could understand that the 30,000 spirit stones were because he was afraid that ordinary people would not be able to afford so much capital and would come in to enjoy the show. As for the condition of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm, Zhao Jiuge simply felt that others were deliberately looking for excuses to prevent him from entering. He was in the late stage of the Spiritual Pill Realm and had just been stuck at this limit.
"What if I have to go in."
Zhao Jiuge, who was worried about the whereabouts of the Cold Flame Flower, became a little unhappy because of his irritable tone. Originally, he had 30,000 spirit stones, which he snatched from the chief disciple of the Giant Sword Sect, but later they were divided because of the colorful flowing light grass. Half of it was given to a few people in Shuiyuezhai, so it was not enough. But Zhao Jiuge is already here and has to go in no matter what today.
Looking at Zhao Jiuge, who was showing signs of turning against him, the man in black suddenly looked a little embarrassed. He himself was in the early stage of the spiritual elixir realm, and could still feel the vigorous aura of Zhao Jiuge.
Just when he was debating whether to order someone to go find Mr. Li, the manager of today's auction house, an old and deep voice suddenly came from the corner inside.
