Chapter 299 Three Conditions with Zhou Hongshang
"Chen Xiaoyou turns out to be Taoist friend Zhou, congratulations."
Huang Yi smiled and held his fists in congratulations.
The Zhou family is quite powerful.
Chen Ling had only been in Guiyun for more than a month, and he was already in love with Zhou Hongshang?
This surprised him.
However, considering the talents of the two, it seems normal to combine their strengths.
Chen Ling was alert in his heart, and said with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth, "Senior is laughing!"
Now that she and Zhou Hongshang are indeed married, her specific purpose has not yet been clarified, and Chen Ling is not in a hurry to reject it.
From that time in the dream, he felt that he had an inexplicable connection with Zhou Hongshang.
Zhou Hongshang smiled slightly, her red lips slightly parted, and said, "Husband, I happen to have my eye on a treasure at this auction, and I will trouble you to take a photo of it later."
When Chen Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Does this really mean he doesn't regard himself as an outsider?
But it's hard to refuse directly. After all, a couple's favor lasts for a night.
I'll tell her clearly after leaving Baiyun Tower.
Mrs. Jin on the side was full of shock and astonishment.
The two of them are really Taoist lovers!
Then he straightened his face, cupped his fists towards the three of them and said, "The auction has begun, I'll take my leave first!"
She still needs to host this auction.
Chen Ling and the other three also stood up and handed each other in arms.
"What are you going to auction?"
Then, Chen Ling looked at Zhou Hongshang and asked carefully.
I just saw the items in this auction. These items are not cheap.
"Spirit pattern wood!"
Zhou Hongshang glanced at Chen Ling and said leisurely.
The fourth-level spirit grain wood is helpful for the cultivation and evolution of dream Gu.
Bidding starts with 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Chen Ling was relieved. The spirit pattern wood was dated to 1,500 years ago. According to his prediction, he should be able to win it within 800,000 yuan.
"What, you can't bear to give up the spirit stone?"
Zhou Hongshang said with an unchanged expression.
Chen Ling smiled and said noncommittally, "This spirit pattern wood is also something I care about. Let's see if I can take a photo of it later."
Huang Yi has nothing to do with himself. The old man is waiting for the auction to begin.
At this time, there were forty or fifty monks sitting in the auction house.
Everyone has a strong aura and a high level of cultivation.
clang!
A crisp bell rang.
The next second, a string of suspended crystal lamps overflowed with light above the auction table.
Releases a faint soft mysterious light, illuminating the entire place.
People immediately stopped whispering, and all eyes turned to the auction table.
"Fellow Taoists, Mr. Jin is polite."
A charming and seductive voice suddenly sounded.
On the auction stage, Mrs. Jin, dressed elegantly and beautifully in a yellow dress, appeared on the stage.
A smile swept over everyone in the audience.
"This auction is actually hosted by Mrs. Jin herself. It seems there are a lot of good things."
"Meet Mrs. Jin!"
Seeing Mrs. Jin's appearance, the monks in the audience all bowed their hands and saluted.
It can be seen that this woman has a good status in Guiyun City.
On the auction stage, Mrs. Jin returned the favor, and then said in a soft voice, "This auction is organized by Baiyun Tower, the Qi League, and the Dan League."
"Every treasure has been certified by several fifth-level masters, and the quality is absolutely guaranteed!"
"As for the rules of the auction, I won't go into details. The one with the highest price wins!"
After sweeping her beautiful eyes around, Mrs. Jin announced the start of the auction.
The sleeves of the robe flickered, and a black stone shining with black light and the size of two palms floated out.
"The first treasure is a fifth-level star source essence stone. It contains a trace of the source of the stars. It will be helpful for the Nascent Soul monks to understand the power of the laws of the stars!"
As soon as the words fell, everyone's eyes focused on the black stone.
Many people's eyes flashed with regret.
Fifth level star source essence stone!
One of the important treasures that can assist in understanding the laws of star source, in the eyes of Yuanying monks, it is something that can be encountered but not sought.
It's just a star attribute, and has little effect on monks with other attributes.
And the price is not low.
The special properties of this thing destined only a handful of people to participate in the election.
"The starting price is 1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones. Each time the price is raised, it will be no less than 50,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Fellow Taoists, let's start!"
Mrs. Jin smiled and waved her hands slowly, and the crystal lamp on the auction table emitted a bright light.
Shining on the black crystal.
The mysterious halo light on the crystal became brighter and brighter.
The monks in the field could clearly see the situation of the spar.
"One and a half million low-grade spiritual stones, I belong to the Tie family, Tie Xiong."
The next moment, a loud voice came from not far from Chen Ling's door.
Chen Ling frowned slightly and subconsciously looked to the third wing on the left.
It's really a close relationship, this guy is actually next door, and he took the initiative to reveal his identity.
Although he is not a star attribute, as a fourth-level top-notch weapon refiner, this fifth-level treasure is also the best material for weapon refining.
Normally, in order to avoid being noticed by others, monks who participate in auctions generally choose to auction anonymously.
And Tiexiong's move was obviously to show that this Star Source Essence Stone was something he was bound to get.
Directly use your identity to deter competitors.
After all, in Guiyun City, with his status and the Tie family behind him, no one really dared to attack him.
However, Chen Ling was not in a hurry to bid, and planned to see what the market was like first.
But after a while, the place was quiet.
I don’t know if it’s because people are not very interested in this Star Source Essence Stone, or it’s because of Tiexiong’s pressure.
"One million six hundred thousand!"
Chen Ling can only make a quotation.
Of course, his confidence was limited and he did not reveal his name.
Anyway, I have offended this person, and this Star Source Essence Stone is the first choice, how can I let it go easily.
"Chen Xiaoyou plans to refine a star attribute treasure?"
After hearing Chen Ling's quotation, Huang Yi raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.
Chen Ling shook his head and said with a smile, "I happen to have a monk with the star attribute at home, so I wanted to take a photo of it to see if it is useful!"
The attributes of Wang Yun's skills are not a secret. Anyone with a little bit of care can find out.
Huang Yi touched his chin beard and said, "If this star source stone is used to refine weapons, it can be put to its best use."
"But it's hard to have any effect when used for cultivation."
"It contains too little star source. Even with my cultivation level, it is difficult to capture it."
"Don't talk about golden elixir or Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Thank you, leader, for reminding me!" Chen Ling cupped his hands and thanked him.
He naturally understands this truth, but Wang Yun has the Star Sword Dao Body. As long as there is a trace of the original power, she can comprehend and absorb it with great effort.
Of course, Huang Yi also gave a kind reminder.
Seeing Chen Ling's decisive tone, Huang Yi stopped talking.
The reason why he reminded him was that he didn't want to offend Tie Xiong rashly like Chen Ling.
In his opinion, it would undoubtedly be a big waste if this piece of Star Source Essence Stone was to be used for cultivation.
"How dare you not give Tie Xiong face? Who is this person in the second wing?"
"If you can enter the second wing, you must at least be a Nascent Soul Dzogchen cultivator."
"I have never heard of a star attribute monk in Guiyun City who is in the late Nascent Soul stage or above!"
The monks present started talking curiously.
"One million seven hundred thousand!"
At this time, Tiexiong's voice sounded again.
"1.75 million!"
"One million and eight hundred thousand!"
······.
"Two and a half million."
After a while, the two people's bidding price had doubled by two-thirds.
Chen Ling was also quite helpless. The price of 2.5 million was already close to his expected price.
If Wang Yun was not a Xingyuan Taoist, then the price would have already been a premium.
But when I think that I can improve Brother Wang Yun, no matter how much I put in, it is worth it.
At the same time, he also knew that in this case, even if his name was not revealed.
But with the strength of the Tie family, it is estimated that he will be able to find out his identity soon.
"Two million and a half million!"
"Fellow Taoist, you are determined to confront Tie, aren't you?"
In the box, Tie Xiong's cold snort sounded, and his tone was quite threatening.
Two and a half million has already exceeded his price.
It's just that he has promised the Ancient Sword Sect to refine an astrolabe for him, so he still has to find a way to get the star source essence stone.
However, if the price is higher, he will have no choice but to give up.
So I can only make verbal threats first.
Now, the scene became lively.
The monks in the audience were all curiously guessing the identity of the monk in the second box.
Can you continue to carry it on?
Chen Ling couldn't help but stare. He was not afraid of Tie Xiong, but he just didn't want his identity to be exposed in public.
Still keep a low profile.
Huang Yi rubbed his forehead, looking quite helpless.
Tiexiong's talent in weapon refining is also very good, and with the support of the Tie family behind him, he has a high probability of becoming a fifth-level weapon refiner in the future.
He reminded Chen Ling that he also didn't want Chen Ling to turn against him.
Now, it seemed that things were a little beyond his expectation.
"Two million six hundred thousand!"
"Next week Hongshang's husband Chen Ling will auction this Star Source Essence Stone!"
Before Chen Ling could say anything, Zhou Hongshang's cold voice had already resounded throughout the auction house.
"What! Fairy Zhou is married?"
"When did this happen?"
"It turns out Fairy Zhou is your backer, no wonder you dare to compete with Master Tie!"
"It turns out to be him!"
"Chen Ling, isn't he the Xihuang weapon refiner who defeated Master Tie last time?"
Zhou Hongshang's words moved all the monks present, with shock on their faces.
Looking up at Wing 2, envy flashed across his face again.
It has long been known to everyone in Guiyuncheng that Zhou Hongshang's eyes are higher than the top of her head.
Even Luo Fan of the Luo family, the number one god-transforming family, and Xu Shao, the first genius of the Ancient Sword Sect, were not her favorites.
Now he has become a Taoist couple with a Xihuang monk, which really shocked everyone present.
In the box, Zhou Hongshang glared at Chen Ling and said with a smile, "As my Taoist companion, Zhou Hongshang, there is no need to be afraid of anyone!"
Chen Ling coughed twice, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Is Zhou Hongshang trying to help him or bring hatred to him?
"what's the situation?"
In the next box, Tie Xiong, who was wearing a white robe, shrank his eyes and was filled with doubts. How could Zhou Hongshang marry this guy from the Western Wilderness?
But the ancestor of the family had told him not to offend the Zhou family easily.
"This kid is quite capable and can climb up to Zhou Hongshang!"
Tiexiong snorted coldly, hesitated in his heart, and decided to wait and see.
After all, if the competition continues, the price will exceed his expectations.
And he also offended Zhou Hongshang.
In addition, this is not his only weapon refining plan.
Immediately, there was still a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, his expression darkened, and he murmured, "Don't think that if you climb into the Zhou family, I can't do anything to you!"
"Fellow Taoist Zhou Hongshang! Buy the Star Source Essence Stone for 2.6 million!"
The final word was given and the auction was set.
After Mrs. Jin announced the ownership of the Star Source Essence Stone with a look of joy on her face, she called a maid and asked her to take it to the second room.
I didn’t expect that the first item would be sold at a high level.
"Chen Ling is so courageous, even Master Tie was defeated!"
The monks talked enviously.
"I took a picture of this treasure for you, please figure out how to thank me!"
Zhou Hongshang glanced at him playfully and said lightly.
"Thank you, Miss Hong."
Chen Ling touched the bridge of his nose dumbfounded when he heard this. In the dream, he and Zhou Hongshang were indeed husband and wife.
The feeling he felt at this moment was a little intimate and a little raw.
But Zhou Hongshang did help him solve the problem.
But whether she can marry into the Chen family is still a question.
"Won't you come up with something practical?"
Zhou Hongshang looked at Chen Ling with beautiful eyes, with unclear meaning in her eyes.
Chen Ling could only smile awkwardly.
Fortunately, there was a knock on the door.
Then the maid came in.
Chen Ling handed over the spirit stone and directly put away the star source essence stone.
"Leader, I made you laugh!"
In order to divert his attention, Chen Ling smiled and said to Huang Yi.
Huang Yi nodded slightly.
A new round of bidding has begun on the auction stage.
What is being auctioned this time is a thousand-year-old elixir.
The starting price is 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
After several rounds of competition, the deal was finally settled for 500,000 yuan.
A series of treasure auctions made the atmosphere in the hall become high.
As for these treasures, Chen Ling has never participated in the bidding.
In the side room, he slowly drank the spiritual tea presented by the maid.
"Fourth-level spiritual grain wood can help monks cultivate their souls, or spiritual beasts can evolve and break through. The price is low at 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
A green spiritual wood floated on the auction table, and Mrs. Jin shouted with a smile.
······.
After two rounds of bidding, the spirit pattern wood was bought by Chen Ling for 750,000.
In the side room, Zhou Hongshang accepted the spirit grain wood sent by the maid with a calm expression, and thanked Chen Ling with a smile on her pretty face.
······.
Half an hour later, the auction was coming to an end, and the three of them left Baiyun Tower.
Before leaving, Huang Yi told Chen Ling that if he had any questions, he could go to Qimeng to find him.
"Chen Ling, I have something to discuss with you!"
Looking at Huang Yi's leaving figure, Zhou Hongshang said lightly.
"Senior Zhou, there are many people here, so please follow me to Wanbao Tower!" Chen Ling said respectfully, clasping his fists seriously.
In this auction, a total of Star Source Essence Stone, Spirit Pattern Wood and the incomplete Spirit City Forbidden were purchased.
A total of nearly four million low-grade spiritual stones were spent.
As for the mysterious dragon shadow, he still gave up.
He felt before that he was quite rich.
But this time, I suddenly realized that I was very poor, very poor.
If you can't hold it back for a while and buy a few more pieces, you will run out of spiritual stones.
"Senior Zhou?"
Zhou Hongshang's expression changed, and she said with dissatisfaction, "What? You plan to burn the bridge across the river!"
"Senior, you are worrying too much. As long as it is the responsibility that I should bear, I will definitely bear it!"
"As long as you don't marry into the Zhou family!"
Chen Ling cupped his hands and said sincerely.
Then he summoned the Golden Fire Crow and said with a smile, "Let's leave here first and then discuss it carefully!"
The two immediately jumped onto the back of the Golden Fire Crow.
The Golden Fire Crow flapped its wings and flew towards Wanbao Tower.
"I just want you to join my Zhou family!"
On Golden Fire Crow's back, Zhou Hongshang pulled out a soundproof shield, then took a deep breath and spoke straight to the point.
"What happened that day was all the junior's fault."
"In addition to marrying into the Zhou family, is there any other way to compensate?"
Chen Ling sighed helplessly and said honestly.
There is no way, who knows that there is an ancestor in the late stage of divine transformation behind this woman, and even Tiexiong does not dare to provoke her easily.
Still be careful yourself.
"Other ways to compensate? Who do you think I am?"
Zhou Hongshang gave him a sharp look, her expression straightened, and she said, "This is the opportunity given to you by our ancestors. Don't be ignorant of what is good and what is bad!"
She felt that her affection for Chen Ling was growing, and she was not as dissatisfied as before when she heard that Chen Ling was unwilling to join the Zhou family.
"Unless you can convince the ancestor!" She couldn't help but reminded him lightly.
"Senior, to be honest with you, I have a big family to support in Xihuang, and it is impossible for me to marry into the Zhou family."
"I hope seniors can help me convince my ancestors to marry into my Chen family. If anything happens to the Zhou family in the future, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
Chen Ling said solemnly.
"oh!"
After hearing this, Zhou Hongshang hesitated a little, and said with a half-smile on his face, "I can go back and discuss this matter with my ancestor, but you have to agree to three conditions!"
"As long as I don't marry into the Zhou family and it's within my ability, I will definitely agree!"
Chen Ling didn't hesitate at all and replied seriously.
Narrowing her eyes, Zhou Hongshang fell into deep thought. This was the idea that the dream Gu suddenly sent to her, which made her quite puzzled.
Girls from the Zhou family generally don't marry outside, so what can she do to convince the ancestor?
With the characteristics of Kame Gu, it is generally not a wrong choice.
This put her in a dilemma for a while.
After thinking about it, I can only tell the truth to my ancestor when I go back.
