Chapter 155 Dragon Palace? "If you are conscious, then show me the way and tell me where this key is. It's blue like ice but won't melt. It's a little longer than my palm. When I get out, I will definitely take you out to eat delicious food and let you enjoy life outside the shipwreck." As soon as Ruan Xing finished speaking, he burst into laughter at himself. He is really crazy and actually uses threats and bribes to coerce a seed. She was about to put away the seeds when she suddenly saw the little fish she had just marked swimming back, and she couldn't help but widen her eyes. A blue-green halo ripples on the little fish's body. "Oh my god, you really have this ability." Ruan Xing sighed and hurriedly caught up with Xiaoyu. Before long, she arrived at an underwater canyon. The reefs on both sides separated her into a thin crack, with large patches of water plants swaying in the crack. The small fish dived into the crack and disappeared. Ruan Xing didn't hesitate, he pushed aside the water plants and swam in. She was petite, so the reef wall did not hold her back. As she passed through the reef and pushed aside the water plants and continued to move downward, the gap became wider and wider.
There is a different world in the canyon. A large area of coral moss forms an arched palace made of colored glaze. Several lantern fish swim around it, illuminating the colored glaze palace with a dim light, which looks colorful and beautiful. She had already seen the key, hanging on the dragon pillar at the entrance of the palace, seemingly serving as a decoration. However, what made her feel embarrassed was that there was more than one Jindan stage aura in this palace. She quickly withdrew her spiritual sense and dared not look around casually again. "Could it be a dragon... I like this kind of shiny palace." Ruan Xing murmured, "I haven't heard of dragons in this world, but dragons are unlikely to be in the Jindan stage. It's too low-class." After thinking about it, Ruan Xing asked Jian Lai to hide and take the key from the dragon pillar. Fortunately, we didn't alarm any of the creatures inside. After Jian Lai came back, Ruan Xing took the key and checked it. The familiar time and space magic on it told her that she had found the right thing. Ruan Xing was somewhat happy. "Not bad, I completed the task in one day. I thought I would have to stay in this secret place for several days." Since the mission items were already in hand, there was no need for Ruan Xing to stay, so she tapped to end the simulation. In an ordinary quiet room in Fengtian City. Ruan Xing slowly opened his eyes. She stretched her body to move it around. Although in reality she had only sat there for a few seconds, the mental fatigue from several days of simulation was inevitable. Otherwise she wouldn't have had to take that month off. Lazily leaning on the cushion, Ruan Xing opened the text simulation and chose to evolve according to the route just now. No matter how many points she spent on the simulation or how many times she simulated, she had to get the key from the simulation because she would never go back to Xuanbing Sect. There is no other reason. There are too many people in the God Transformation Stage in the Xuanbing Sect. If she doesn't cause trouble when she returns, it will be fine. But if she does, those God Transformation masters will definitely not let her go. Ruan Xing has no way to contend with someone like Qing Yuan Dao Jun now.
Fortunately, the current Qing Yuan Daoist Master has not yet reached the point of chasing her to the ends of the earth. As long as she doesn't appear in front of him, he probably won't remember her for a while. The first text simulation ended quickly. Ruan Xing selected a random item, and a green round object appeared in his hand. Um? ? How did you bring this seed out? Ruan Xing was still quite afraid of this seed because she did not find any soul or intelligence in the seed, and she could not effectively communicate with it, but this seed did have its own consciousness. It helped her find the key though. Ruan Xing reluctantly started the second text simulation. However, surprisingly, after the simulation ended, there was another green seed in her hand. When the two seeds' surfaces touched each other, they gradually softened and merged together like non-Newtonian fluids. Only the size has not changed. The simulation was repeated nine times, all with the same seed. Ruan Xing felt a little numb. If this seed was really so magical, then its self-rescue consciousness was too strong. It was not until the tenth time that he got the key, and Ruan Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The nine seeds merged together, but their size did not change, and they were still unable to communicate. No matter what Ruan Xing said, the seeds did not respond, as if the small fish outside the shipwreck was just a coincidence. She had no choice but to throw the seeds into the storage bag. Cai Jiao's eyes lit up, as if she saw some fun toys. She took the seeds and put them together with the soul-nourishing tree in her arms, unable to let go. Ruan Xing's heart moved, and he said to Cai Jiao: "Ah Jiao, I have a task for you. You must keep this seed safe. No matter what changes or abnormalities occur to it, tell me in the mind link as soon as possible." "Okay...sister..." Cai Jiao nodded solemnly. Ruan Xing was not worried about the child accidentally eating it because Gillian had no mouth. I hope that these seeds, which cost her 9,000 points, will be of some use in the future. Ruan Xing stayed in Fengtian City for a few more days and purchased a large amount of materials that might be used in the future. She now has 40,000 points and more than 80,000 spirit stones, so she doesn't have to worry about not having enough to spend. Seeing that she was so generous, the maid of Wanbao Tower kindly gave her a piece of news. At the end of the month, Wanbao Tower would hold a small auction, where some rare and valuable items would appear. Ruan Xing was a little tempted because she knew that Wanbaolou would hold auctions from time to time. But every time he missed the opportunity or missed it. This time, Ruan Xing wanted to go and see it for himself. Throwing a spirit stone to the maid as a tip, Ruan Xing asked, "Then how can I participate in your auction?" The maid smiled even more eagerly, and said softly, "If you are a VIP of Wanbao Tower, you only need to show your ID to get an admission ticket to this auction. Alchemists and weapon refiners above level three who have cooperated or worked for Wanbao Tower can also get one. If you are neither, you can get an admission ticket by spending one hundred low-grade spirit stones." These one hundred spirit stones are probably equivalent to capital verification. Ruan Xing once signed a contract with Wanbaolou to sell elixirs and talismans, but in reality, she had never sold elixirs above the third grade, only in simulations.
After hesitating for a while, Ruan Xing said, "Is it too late to cooperate now?" The maid was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Of course, are you an alchemist?" Ruan Xing did not want to be too ostentatious, so he took out a few bottles of third-grade Qingshui Pills and a third-grade Earth Escape Talisman, which together were worth about five hundred spirit stones. After a simple contract process with the maid, Ruan Xing got an auction admission ticket for free, as well as the purchase price of the pills and talismans, four hundred and two spirit stones. It looks like this auction admission ticket is worth eighty spirit stones, but actually, it is not. Ruan Xing seldom sells the pills at a stall himself, as it takes too much time. He always sells them all at once to purchasing shops, and the purchase price from the shops is definitely not as good as if he sells them individually. The auction was to start on the afternoon of the 28th, and there were still three days left, so Ruan Xing wandered around Fengtian City with nothing to do. Occasionally, when seeing shops and stalls opened by mortals, Ruan Xing thought of Cai Jiao, who kept the soul-nourishing wood and seeds in her storage bag as toys, so she bought her some children's toys. Cai Jiao has gained intelligence, and it should be boring for her to stay alone in the dark and silent storage bag. However, she is very obedient and will not move when told not to move, which makes Ruan Xing feel a little sorry for her. But Ruan Xing didn't dare to let Cai Jiao out for some fresh air, because she was not like Jian Lai, who had the ability to hide and the strength to fight back. The material of her puppet was very ordinary, and she herself had no special abilities. The only thing she could do was probably weeding and watering. If she were to be released, other cultivators in the city would probably immediately discover her abnormality. After all, this is Fengtian City in Zhongzhou, not some small border town. There are still many powerful monks. Three days passed quickly. Ruan Xing changed her appearance and height and put on a veil. Then she showed her credentials and walked into Wanbao Tower. The waiter who received her brought her to the top floor of Wanbao Tower, where there were already a few monks sitting sparsely, and some of the monks who came together were chatting. The boxes on the side were suspended in the air, and even the windows were made of opaque material. I guess they were seats for VIPs. If one wants to become a VIP of Wanbao Tower, one must spend hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Ruan Xing cannot see who is sitting inside, but that does not stop her from having an inexplicable possessiveness of other people's spirit stones. The seats on the lower level were not so particular. There were two chairs beside each table and a semi-arc-shaped low screen behind it, which was just enough to give the monks a little sense of space without blocking the view of the people behind. The seat the waiter took Ruan Xing to was pretty good. She was arranged in the first three rows. It was not known whether it was a random arrangement or if there was something special about it. The auction was about to begin, and the hall was almost full. Ruan Xing looked at the others inconspicuously, but he couldn't tell where most of these people came from. He was not sure whether they were disciples of other sects or independent cultivators. Some of them even had magical instruments on them that obfuscated their cultivation level, making it impossible to tell their true realm. There were only a few who looked familiar, and Ruan Xing guessed that they were disciples of the Xuanbing Sect, whom she had seen in a simulation before. Suddenly, a young man in white, guided by the waiter, walked to the other end of Ruan Xing's table and sat down. There are at least two seats at a table. Ruan Xing had no objection to the organizer's seating arrangement, but just quietly glanced at the young man next to him. The man noticed her gaze, smiled at her, and took the initiative to talk to her: "Would you like some tea, fellow Taoist? I'll treat you." He waved to the waiter who was not far away and asked for a pot of spiritual tea. The spiritual tea in Wanbao Tower is not cheap. Ruan Xing nodded slightly, "Thank you for your expense, fellow Taoist." "The fairy's voice is as sweet as jade. I was worried that this tea wouldn't go down well with the fairy." The man said with a smile. After the waiter served the tea, he personally poured two cups and pushed them to Ruan Xing, "Please." Ruan Xing was not worried about the tea provided by Wanbaolou, but it was not very convenient for her to drink it with a veil, so she just took a sip. The man didn't care, but dropped the topic and turned his gaze towards the stage. Two beautiful female cultivators wore intricate long skirts, and their voices, as graceful as those of a yellow oriole, spread throughout the entire venue under the blessing of magic.
After briefly introducing the rules of the auction, the auction was announced to begin and the first item was put on the market. "One Huiyang Pill, starting price is 100 low-grade spirit stones, each bid increase must not be less than 5 spirit stones." Things like Huiyang Dan cannot cure diseases or save lives, they just give people a chance to die together in desperate situations. Some people use it in the hope of protecting others with their own lives. Before Meng Hui died, she used this kind of elixir, which allowed her to wake up and make arrangements for her funeral after the thunder tribulation failed. The recipe of Huiyang Pill is not precious in Xuanbing Sect. She has learned it. However, the ingredients are expensive and rare. Therefore, as a third-grade pill, the price of Huiyang Pill has always been high. Soon, a Huiyang Pill was auctioned at a high price of two hundred spirit stones, and was finally bought by a rather sturdy cultivator in the back for 210 spirit stones. The second item was put up for auction soon after. It was the heart of a monster, which was the main ingredient for refining some kind of elixir. There was a wooden bid sign on the table, but Ruan Xing was not interested and several of the items were not what she wanted. The man next to them never made any bid, but just watched the stage with interest, as if he was treating them as a performance. The auction did not provide a bidding list, so Ruan Xing had no idea what would be on offer. He only knew that there would be about twenty items. What she wanted most was a storage ring, or the recipes for the Infant Transformation Pill and the Longevity Pill. Both of them were fifth-grade pills. Her grade was good enough to refine them, but she didn't have the recipes. Considering the longevity pill was so scarce and expensive, if she could get the recipe, the spirit stones she earned would probably be more than enough to last her until she reached the Guixu stage! As the auction entered the second half, the competition became increasingly fierce and entered a white-hot stage. This item was a top-grade magical instrument with a starting price of seven thousand, but it was sold for nineteen thousand! Ruan Xing couldn't help but feel secretly frightened. She knew that many cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage could only use top-grade magic tools, and that spiritual tools were hard to come by, but she had never expected that top-grade magic tools would be so expensive! Moreover, in her opinion, this magic tool had no special appeal except that it was more powerful. For a small sect like the Xuanbing Sect in Nanzhou, the annual operating expenses are just over ten thousand. Even an entire sect cannot afford to buy this magical weapon, but in this area of Zhongzhou, there are so many people competing to bid for it. The man next to him took a sip of tea and said casually, "Is there nothing you want, fairy?" "Yes, but I don't know if it will happen today." Ruan Xing sighed. "Then tell me, fairy?" Ruan Xing had changed her appearance and was wearing a veil, so there was nothing to worry about and she casually told him what she needed. The man said with some regret: "What a pity, I didn't prepare anything that would satisfy the fairy today." "Huh?" Ruan Xing was surprised. How does he know what's in this auction? "I am the person in charge of this auction." The man said with some regret, "If there is a chance next time, the fairy will come to the auction I prepare, and I will definitely not let the fairy go back empty-handed." "So, Wanbao Tower really has these things?" Ruan Xing was surprised. She could understand having a storage ring, but if she put the formulas for the Infant Transformation Pill and the Longevity Pill on sale, would she be handing over her wealth to others? And would other sects be happy about it? The Infant Transformation Pill was under control, so wouldn't the Infant Transformation Pill be even more strictly controlled? "Then how about we make a deal and sell it to me privately?" This way, there will be no obstruction from other sects or individuals. The man apologized and said, "Of course I don't have the latter two, but as for the storage ring, there is still hope." Thanks for the monthly ticket of You Ran Ren Sheng~ (End of this chapter)
