Chapter 41 Prologue
Chapter 41 Prologue
Jiyang City was immersed in a jubilant atmosphere all night, and the daytime medicine competition inspired the enthusiasm and interest of the spirit masters. Even in the middle of the night, the hotels, restaurants and inns in the city were still brightly lit. The laughter and joy continued all night.
The next morning, almost all the spiritual masters who came to Jiyang City to participate in the "Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club" rushed to the outside of the Lingbao Pavilion, waiting for the manor to open. Among these spiritual masters, some came to the Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club to buy spiritual medicines, and some also brought treasured herbs or spiritual medicines to sell for a good price.
In this Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club, whether it is a clan, a small family or individual, as long as there are spiritual medicines and medicines, they can be sold freely or priced freely. The Lingbao Pavilion, as the organizer, will not take commissions from it, nor will it interfere with their transactions.
Time passed, and as everyone was looking forward to it, the clear bell finally rang out, and the gates of the courtyards on both sides creaked open. Spiritual masters who had been unable to wait rushed into the two courtyards. The courtyard on the right had already set up the Lingbao Pavilion and the stalls of the aristocratic sects. There were a wide variety of spiritual medicines and medicines on it, and the spiritual masters were available for spiritual masters to watch and purchase. As for the courtyard on the left, hundreds of short tables were neatly arranged, and those who wanted to ship the goods found a satisfactory position as quickly as possible and placed the herbs and medicines.
Not long after, the courtyards on both sides became noisy and lively...
...
At this time, hundreds of people gathered in a small hall behind the Lingbao Pavilion. They all came from various aristocratic races, sects and small and medium-sized families from the Dacheng Empire, and came to Jiyang City as family envoys to participate in the "Thousand Spiritual Medicine Club", especially to participate in this most important internal auction.
Every time the Thousand Spiritual Medicine Fair, the things that are truly rare, precious and priceless will not appear in the outside house, but in this auction. The more popular spiritual medicines and herbs sold in the outside house, and the minimum number of those that can be held at this auction is more than 200,000 gold coins.
This small hall was built specifically for the auction of Lingbao Pavilion. It is round in the whole body. There is a small round platform in the center. The seats are surrounded by circles around the platform, the farther away, the higher the higher. No matter what items are auctioned on the platform, you can see clearly around it.
The bell rang and when the manor opened, Nie Kong walked into the hall with Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin. Today, they appeared with the three of them. Nie Xinghai, the seventh elder of the Nie family who was in charge of finance, and several followers. Other families and sects also sent important figures to the scene.
After only looking around for a week, Nie Kong saw many familiar figures. Ruyi, the referees in the Yaohui Competition, Mu Xiaoling, Qu Xinyi, Yu Qingguan, and even the fourth prince Cheng Zixuan sat in the front row closest to the auction table, but the little loli Gu Qi disappeared.
As Nie Xingyun and others sat in the front row, Nie Kong accidentally glanced and saw another familiar white shadow, which was Bai Yuqing, who was suffering in the world of life and death with him. She followed a middle-aged man, with a cold look on her slightly tender pretty face as usual.
Although the Bai family is a vassal of the Nie family, the family's strength is not very weak, and it is expected to be able to enter this auction. Speaking of which, since committing suicide in the fantasy world, Nie Kong has never seen this fierce girl who often calls herself "my mother". I wonder how her cultivation level has improved?
When Nie Kong discovered her, Bai Yuqing also saw him. Two cold eyes shot straight at him and nodded expressionlessly.
"Brother Xingyun, what did your Nie family take out for auction this time?" Que Yu next to him looked at Nie Xingyun and asked with a smile. According to the conventional rules in the past, at the auction of the Thousand Spiritual Medicine Society, all the five major clans had to take out at least the same distinctive spiritual medicine or herbs for auction.
"Haha, Brother Que, keep it confidential, you will know later." Nie Xingyun twisted his beard with a smile, his face slightly lustful.
"..." Que Yu was speechless.
At this time, Mu Zisi took Mu Xiaoling over. When he saw Nie Xingyun and others, Mu Zisi's face that was longer than a donkey's face suddenly turned dark. Mu Xiaoling, who was beside him, also tightened his face very seriously, and there was no smile on it.
Nie Xingyun smiled, patted the empty seat next to him, and deliberately shouted: "Old man Mu, come, come, come here, come here, sit here, haha."
Seeing that many people around were attracted by the eyes, Mu Zisi's face looked even more ugly, as if she had been smeared by black charcoal. She walked to Nie Kong, and waved her hand at Nie Kong with a beard and stared at him, and scolded: "Get up, kids go there to play, don't run here to get in the way."
Nie Kong stood up for some reason, and Mu Zisi occupied his seat with one stone. Nie Kong had no choice but to wink at Mu Xiaoling and walked towards the empty seat ten meters away. After she followed, she whispered: "Sister Xiaoling, did your grandfather become obsessed with refining medicine last night?"
"You're just going to be infatuated!"
Mu Xiaoling gave Nie Kong a blank look and said angrily, "This is not your fault. Yesterday you won the first place in the competition. Your master was so proud that he ran to the 'Lingbao Pavilion' to ridicule my grandfather for a long time. Before leaving, not only did he take your reward, but your two masters also joined forces to blackmail all the 'Golden and Jade Gourds' that my grandfather had finally collected. I didn't even dare to laugh from yesterday to now, and my face was hard." As he said that, the little girl rubbed her tender and white face hard.
"Golden and Jade Gourd? Are you talking about this?"
Nie Kong reached into his arms and summoned a small cloth bag from his pet backpack. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of small gourds as big as a thumb, golden and almost transparent.
After returning last night, Nie Xingyun gave him a prize for the competition, a "Xuanxing Blue Moon Hook". The herb can be used to refine the fifth-grade spiritual medicine "Xuanxing Pill" that improves cultivation level. Because it is very rare, the price can reach millions of gold coins. At the same time, Nie Kong also gave him this cloth bag, but he didn't expect that the bag contained "Golden Jade Gourd", which is the main medicine for refining the fifth-grade spiritual medicine "Golden Jade Gourd".
Nie Kong counted for a moment and there were actually five pills inside. Each pill could be worth millions of gold coins. Five pills were five million, and they could catch up with the "Xuanxing Blue Moon Hook". Nie Kong was secretly shocked. When he met his master, Lingbao Pavilion really made such blood this time.
No wonder Mu Zisi's face was so dark! He spoke up and said something bad. It turned out that he had been slapped by his master and threw his anger on his disciples. However, Nie Kong was a little curious about how Nie Xingyun and Lian Tianxin extorted such a precious five "golden jade gourds"?
"Of course, otherwise why would grandpa be so depressed?"
“…”
While talking, the two sat down. Nie Kong was still waiting to inquire, but all the noisy sounds in the hall suddenly disappeared. When he looked up, he saw Mo Xingtu smiling and climbing to the round platform in the center of the hall. Behind him, dozens of young men were following, each holding a box of different sizes in his hands...
