Chapter 44 Private Auction
It was sunny for a while during the day, but in the evening, the dark clouds came back. As the sky darkened, the rain began to fall again.
After finishing Li Shiyin's medicinal bath, Qin Ran came out of her bedroom and went into his own bedroom.
After a while, he changed into a dark nightgown and a black cloak, stretched out his hand in front of him, and used water to create a mirror. He looked at himself in the mirror, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and his handsome face turned into a fierce face.
Disguise, a necessary skill for every cultivator to travel the world.
"I'm batman!" He lowered his voice and said it. He listened to the tone and it was the same.
After checking the temporary Qiankun bag again to make sure nothing was missing, he put on his cloak and hat, opened the door and walked out.
When he came to the corridor, he took another look at Li Shiyin's bedroom, confirmed that there was nothing unusual, closed the door, and then jumped into the rain... and then disappeared in the rain line.
Escape technique, like water years. The most mysterious escape technique Qin Ran practiced was recorded in the basic technique he practiced, "Shuihua Heart Sutra".
This escape technique is not fast, just the speed of ordinary escape techniques, but it is favored by Qin Ran because it turns into water when it encounters water, and its stealthiness is directly maximized.
It can be said that Qin Ran chose this basic technique just for this escape technique.
Melting into the rain, Qin Ran flew through quickly, and soon he went down Danfeng and came to a remote corner. He looked around vigilantly again, and confirmed that there was no one around, and then he opened the Daojianmen's mountain protection formation with his identity token.
He appeared and disappeared in front of the mountain gate, and after identifying the direction, he turned into rain and disappeared.
Linxian City, a city located at the junction of Beichu State and Hengduan Mountains.
Like Daojianmen, it is also located at the junction of Beichu State and Hengduan Mountains, but one is in the Hengduan Mountains and the other is outside the Hengduan Mountains.
The reason why Linxian City is called Linxian City is because it is close to the immortal fate...
Close to what immortal fate?
Hengduan Mountain means immortal fate.
There are immortals on Hengduan Mountain, which is the simple cognition of the people of Northern Chu.
In Hengduan Mountain, there are Daojianmen and Wuyinjianzong, both of which are one of the five major immortal gates in Northern Chu. Even the head of the five major immortal gates, Zhishen Valley, is not far from the Hengduan Mountains. What's more, there are monsters and natural treasures in Hengduan Mountain...
Being in such a position, it is reasonable and appropriate to call it such a name.
Even the atmosphere of cultivating immortals in Linxian City is more intense than that in Daojianmen, not to mention a certain Danfeng.
On such a rainy night, there are still many cultivators in the city who fly high in the clouds and swords. When they landed in the city, the hawking of selling skills, magic tools, talismans and formation diagrams was still noisy. After walking a few steps, someone was kneeling in the mud on the street, begging the immortal master to teach him the immortal method; there was a beautiful woman dancing in the rain, volunteering to be the furnace cauldron...
Qin Ran was wrapped in a cloak, lowered his head, walked hurriedly through the crowd, with a clear goal, and walked to a teahouse in the city, not daring to look at the chaos around him.
Not long after, he arrived outside the teahouse. The teahouse was called Yuanlai Teahouse. It had an ordinary name and an ordinary shape, and it looked far away from seeking immortals.
But Qin Ran did not hesitate, he walked straight into the teahouse, came to the counter, took out a token, looked at the shopkeeper, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Batman."
The shopkeeper did not understand what "Batemen" meant, but he knew that it was a codeword unique to the master of alchemy in front of him. He looked at Qin Ran, confirmed his face, bowed, and said: "Master You Ya."
He took out a mask from under the counter and handed it to Qin Ran. After Qin Ran put it on, the shopkeeper did not say much. He led the way, took Qin Ran through the lobby of the teahouse, came to the backyard, opened the formation, walked into the secret passage, walked inside for a long time, and stopped in front of the last stone door.
"Master You, we are here." said the shopkeeper.
Qin Ran nodded, threw a bottle of pills to the shopkeeper, and said in a low voice: "Thank you."
Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the door was a small auction venue. In front was an auction table, where a man was holding a sword and waiting for people to bid. Below were seven or eight rows of seats, with about fifty or sixty seats. At this time, there were a dozen people sitting sparsely, all wearing the same mask as Qin Ran's face.
Qin Ran came in, and someone in the auction hall looked at him, but no one paid attention.
He found a secluded place to sit down and waited quietly.
This was obviously a private, small auction. In fact, it was better to say that it was an exchange meeting than an auction. The people who came here were all cultivators, and they either had strength, financial resources, or special abilities. For example, Qin Ran was an alchemist.
Linxian City was a city with a strong atmosphere of cultivation, but at the same time, it was also a mortal city. There were many cultivators in the city, but more of them were mortals; there was a cultivation culture in the city, but more of them were mortal culture.
There were indeed larger places for selling cultivation items in the city, and there were huge auction venues, but those places were not pure, there were too many people, and they were too complicated.
Therefore, there are many such private auction houses for cultivators in the city...similar to the small circles in modern society.
Qin Ran joined this auction house when he was selling pills. After participating in it several times, he found it acceptable. Now that there is a demand, it is natural to choose this place.
The sword of the man on the stage was sold for 100 low-grade spirit stones. Then a man who was selling magic tools came up and sold a high-grade magic tool for 300 medium-grade spirit stones.
At this time, a man of medium height went up, took out a jar, and said in a deep voice: "Honey from Silver-winged Long-tailed Bees, I want a basic metal practice technique at the Golden Elixir stage."
The silver-winged long-tailed bee is a level four monster, a monster in the Hengduan Mountains. Its honey is poisonous, but after being detoxified, it can greatly improve your physical fitness.
"'Geng Jin Fei Swordsmanship' happens to be in the golden elixir stage." Qin Ran raised his hand to bid. He wanted to take the photo and give it to Li Shiyin.
"Swordsmanship?" The man pondered, but did not respond.
"Don't want sword skills?" Qin Ran stopped bidding. He had studied water spiritual root skills and gold sword skills. If this man didn't want sword skills, then he would have no choice.
This kind of thing that nourishes the body is very rare. There were several rounds of bidding in the audience, but the man was not satisfied until a man in red raised his hand: ""Jin Yuan Body Refining Technique", until the Nascent Soul stage."
Red? Kieran took another look at him. In a place like this, most people wear inconspicuous clothes like black. Some people wear red clothes, which is really arrogant.
"Physical refining technique?" The man on the stage said with joy on his face, "Yes!"
It turned out to be physical training, Qin Ran understood.
After the two people had communicated with the teahouse and sat back down, another woman came up to the stage and said that she was in urgent need of information about the Silver-backed Demon Ape, and the price could be negotiated privately.
Qin Ran's heart moved. There seemed to be a silver-backed demon ape in the herd last night, but he hesitated for a moment and still didn't bid.
After the woman came off the stage, a few more people came up. Qin Ran also walked up without any trouble. He took out three porcelain bottles from the temporary storage bag and said in a low voice:
"High-grade Yuan Hui Dan, top-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, and middle-grade Foundation Building Pill..."
Pills have always been hard currency, let alone pills of such high quality, so before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the audience.
"I know him. He is the alchemist named You who specializes in selling elixirs." Someone in the audience suddenly whispered.
Qin Ran's heart stopped and his eyes were focused. He looked over and saw that the man in red was the one who spoke. In a place like this, everyone knows not to reveal their identity, and this person definitely did it on purpose!
Moreover, how did he know that his surname was You...
There was no wave on Qin Ran's face, and he continued to speak in a low voice: "What I want is obsidian, swordsmanship, and gold swordsmanship."
Pills and alchemists are really the hard currency in the world of immortality. As soon as he finished speaking, a thin man in the audience raised his hand and said, "You want the Star Stone? You don't have enough."
The Star Stone was used to forge Li Shiyin's natal flying sword. The special flying sword of the "Nine Revolutions of Star Sword Technique" was the most important purpose of Qin Ran's trip.
After hearing this, Qin Ran took out a new porcelain bottle from the temporary Qiankun bag, put it on the auction table, and said: "One middle-grade barrier-breaking pill."
Suddenly, the audience was in an uproar. The barrier-breaking pill increases the chance of pill formation. This kind of pill is also sold?
"Deal." The man in the audience said quickly.
Qin Ran handed the elixir to the auction house staff waiting nearby and conducted the transaction through them.
""Fantasy Butterfly Dance Steps", golden elixir stage movement technique." The man in red in the audience raised his hand and said, "I want ten spirit-gathering elixirs."
Before Qin Ran could speak, another person asked: "How many spirit-gathering pills do you have?"
"How much do you want?" Qin Ran asked.
"Fifty."
"Kung Fu?"
""Star Shadow Sword Technique" was created by Yuanying monk."
"Can."
Kieran didn't ask for "Fantasy Butterfly Dance", but "Star Shadow Sword Technique".
