Rumors of Crimson Moon Dew; Arrival at Listening Wave Sea

"Hey, this Daoist friend is wrong!"

The storyteller put away the folding fan in his hand and struck it on his palm. "Spirit Artifact is powerful, but it needs to be used freely to show its true ability."

"But since Spirit Artifact is mentioned..."

He deliberately prolonged his voice. "As you know, the most amazing person in this competition is Thousand Machines Valley's Eight Vajras!"

After hearing the new story, the noise around them suddenly became much less loud, and even the monk who was choking just now pricked up his ears.

"The name Eight Vajras is also strange. At first glance, it sounds like there are eight people."

"Then you are thinking differently. This is actually the Thousand Machines Chief who brought eight Vajra Puppet with him."

"This Vajra Puppet is amazing. It has all five elements and three talents."

"No matter who you are fighting with, there is always a puppet that can defeat your fate!"

When someone in the audience heard this for the first time, they immediately took a breath of cold air.

"Old sir, don't try to trick people!" A clear female voice came from the private room on the second floor. "If you are so powerful, how can you stop at the top four?"

But the storyteller smiled, raised his hand and twirled his beard with his orchid fingers. "Good question! Guess what?"

"On the day of the semifinals, Eight Vajras happened to meet a freak."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to pick up the Yunwu tea on the table, blowing on it and sipping it slowly.

Immediately, a monk in the audience threw a piece of Spirit Stone up. "Old sir, tell me quickly, who is that freak?"

Many monks also urged him.

The storyteller waved his sleeves and collected all the dozen pieces of Spirit Stone that flew over into his arms, and he immediately started picking them up quickly.

Immediately put down the tea cup. "It is Cloud Wave Sword Abode, the previous generation Sect Master, and now Treading Frost True Monarch is the only Direct Disciple, Dharma Name Heaven Sword True Person."

"He has a mouthful of Natal Flying Sword, and his background is even more remarkable."

"It was actually made by Strange Stone left behind by a meteorite from outer space. It does not belong to the five elements, and it is difficult to determine the three talents. It just happens that it is not restrained by Thousand Machines Puppet."

When everyone heard this, they were all surprised.

However, someone else asked, "Even if it is difficult to restrain, just let the eight puppets swarm up, then Heaven Sword True Person doesn't have three heads and six arms, how can it be one against eight?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded and followed the question.

"This fellow Daoist, please ask me for some ideas!"

The storyteller unfolded the folding fan again with a "swish" sound, and it turned into an ink puppet picture.

"Thousand Machines Valley has an exclusive secret called <Soul Division Art>. It is best at turning Divine Sense into silk threads to finely control every move of the puppet."

As he spoke, he traced his fingertips, creating spider web-like white threads in the air as a demonstration.

Then the conversation changed. "It's a pity that Eight Vajras is still young and can only control three puppets at the same time."

"In addition, Sword Cultivator is very good at attacking. He defeated Body Protecting Profound Light in an instant. He didn't have time to rely on puppets to fight fiercely and was defeated unfortunately."

Xiao Chen has also heard about this.

Like Qiu Fanghui before, Puppet One has a purely quantitative approach, but it also has a meticulous and quality-focused approach.

To be honest, he has never quite understood this latter approach.

Since everyone has chosen Puppet Path, we must take advantage of quantity.

But today I heard that this is actually the secret biography of Thousand Machines Valley, so I guess it must have its own uniqueness.

If you encounter Nascent Soul True Lord of Thousand Machines Valley in the future, you should pay special attention to the opponent's puppet.

"Hmph, what Eight Vajras, I think it's just a false name!"

The monk before commented loudly again. "It's just relying on the master's sect and having elders to help build the puppet."

"That puppet is worth hundreds of thousands Spirit Stone. Who can afford to make it by himself?"

"To put it bluntly, he and that Thunderbolt Spear all rely on external objects, and they are not really capable."

He was so arrogant that he immediately aroused the resentment of the monks around him.

Someone immediately asked, "I don't look down on this one, and I don't look down on that one, so tell me, who is the best in this competition?"

The people around him immediately echoed, "That's right, tell me who is really capable?"

Xiao Chen also looked over curiously and saw that the other party was wearing an open-breasted black vest and tightly tied Hemp Cloth pants.

Listening to the questions from the people around me, I raised my fist as big as a sandbag.

He raised his thumb towards his chin. "Of course the most powerful one is me..."

"Heavenly Dipper Sect's current senior brother, the second place in this competition - Mountain Opening True Person."

Good guy, Xiao Chen thought he was going to talk about himself.

When the people around heard this, they immediately became unhappy. "It's so funny, you Heavenly Dipper Sect can get second place, isn't it just because of good luck?"

"If you had met that Heaven Sword True Person earlier, you would still have been eliminated early."

Xiao Chen has understood now that Cloud Wave Sword Abode won the first place in this competition.

Thousand Machines Valley and Ink Barrier Sect ranked third and fourth respectively.

In other words, Azure Sea Immortal Sect has become the bottom five.

Naturally, no one in the Spirit Communication Pavilion was convinced and shouted at each other to take action.

Xiao Chen had no interest in all this noise, so he turned around and left to collect spiritual materials outside.

Ink Stone Market occupies a fairly small area, and there are all kinds of shops inside.

I visited seven shops in a row throughout the afternoon and successfully collected most of the common spiritual materials.

"After all, this altar is really not cheap."

Xiao Chen sighed and put away the one hundred and nineteen kinds of spiritual objects he had just acquired.

These auxiliary materials alone cost him a total of 893,000 yuan Spirit Stone.

Based on this cost calculation, the final cost of one million will definitely be unaffordable.

It is estimated to cost around two million Spirit Stone, which is not cheaper than the cost of Eight Vajras.

No wonder Su Li thinks this is very difficult. After all, such a high Spirit Stone cost is not a sky-high price that ordinary monks can afford.

Even for Nascent Soul True Lord, this is not Little Qian.

Xiao Chen As a casual cultivator without sect support, the best choice under normal circumstances is to give up such an expensive way of breakthrough.

Fortunately, he had saved a lot of savings on his own, and he hardly spent much money after coming to Eastern Domain.

In addition, there are always enthusiastic Daoist friends who take the initiative to approach him to help him spread his wealth.

A few days ago, I was also at Ink Stone Market, and I made a little over two million by selling Spirit Artifact and sundries, so I was able to afford this big expense.

"There's still one thing missing Coarse-grained Twisted Leaf."

In order to prevent himself from confusion, Xiao Chen also specially made a list on paper.

Finally, the auxiliary material Ink Stone Market happens to be out of stock, but the problem is not big. If you go to the auction and pay attention, it should be solved.

According to the original plan, after purchasing the spiritual items, he should leave.

But now we have a few more days, so Xiao Chen is not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he went to the largest restaurant in Fang City to try his luck.

.

To collect various gossips, usually besides purchasing directly, the most effective way is to visit places like this.

Usually, you can hear a lot of legends about recent major events.

Sure enough, just as he entered the door, Xiao Chen heard two Foundation Establishment discussing Guiyun Secret Realm.

"No wonder I haven't seen Lao Qi since I came back from the Guiyun Secret Realm. It turns out that he has already gone to the Listening Wave Sea?"

"That's for sure. I specifically asked about it. Crimson Moon Dew sounds like an ordinary name, but it's actually quite valuable."

"I have never heard of this kind of thing. Is it possible that it can be sold for 100,000 Spirit Stone?"

"Hmph, look at your vision, one hundred thousand Spirit Stone is nothing!"

The man next to him held out three fingers. "I saw it on Ancient Books. It's a good thing that Golden Core True Person is rushing to get. It will be tripled at least."

Behind me were a few people at the same table who were all exclamating themselves, but it was no longer important.

Xiao Chen's eyes flashed, and he was also very happy.

Although he was not able to buy Crimson Moon Dew here in advance, it sounds like the 'Lao Qi' went to the auction, so he is not afraid of bidding with others.

And it sounds like the other party is just a lucky Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Then things would undoubtedly be simpler.

There are very few Golden Core cultivators who will attach exchange conditions other than Spirit Stone to particularly valuable items.

But Foundation Establishment Cultivator can basically be satisfied by Spirit Stone, even if there are attached conditions, it is not difficult to satisfy.

"Seniors, what would you like to drink?"

Seeing someone standing at the door, a bartender immediately came to greet him, "If you think it's noisy downstairs, we have a private room with Soundproof Array upstairs."

"No need." Xiao Chen waved his hand. "It's just me, just sit down."

"I'll have a pot of the best wine you have here, and I'll throw in two random dishes to go with the wine."

I seem to have good luck today and everything is going smoothly.

So he decided to stay here for a while to see if there was any other good news.

"I can assure you that what I said was absolutely not a lie!"

At the table on the left, there was a Foundation Establishment Early Stage young man in red with a serious face. "At that time, a group of Golden Core Great Demon really swam past the side of the spirit ship, at least two or three."

The Qingyi companion next to him retorted, "Impossible!"

"I have read in the sect's classics that there are no groups of Golden Core Sea Fish here at Compassion Sea Region."

"I heard that only Golden Core seniors who went to the extreme east of the Endless Sea could see such a grand event."

Another person laughed and said, "It seems that Junior Brother Liu is such a drunkard that he started making up random things."

They were laughing and joking, but Xiao Chen suddenly remembered when he was looking for Witch Artifact.

In just three days, I encountered twelve Golden Core Sea Fish things in succession.

Although now those Demon Core have successfully turned into real essence, which can be considered a good thing.

But if you take a closer look, this thing itself is indeed a bit strange.

In addition, he was purchasing other spiritual objects in Ink Stone Market today.

I also vaguely noticed that the prices of various spiritual objects related to Golden Core Sea Fish, such as Spirit Fish Meat and fish bones, seemed to have generally dropped by about 10%.

Originally, Xiao Chen didn't take it seriously. After all, market prices do fluctuate.

But now there seems to be another explanation, that is, the quantity of Golden Core Sea Fish has increased, so much so that it has impacted their original price.

Then this is a great thing!

Demon Beast The more materials, the better, and the cheaper, the better.

If the quantity of Golden Core Sea Fish increases, the prices of various corresponding Spirit Wine and Lingshan can also be reduced.

Xiao Chen can spend less Spirit Stone and buy Spirit Wine similar to White Jade Little Azure Dragon to assist in your cultivation.

In addition, he can also obtain Sea Fish Meat and Demon Core more conveniently.

This is undoubtedly a benefit to Flawless Golden Core's cultivation.

Although Xiao Chen and now Body Refining have made rapid progress and have successfully overtaken Xiao Chen, he will not relax Cultivator of Magic because of this.

One more path means twice as much strength and more protection.

If you had not chosen Body Refining back then, you would not have been able to enjoy the benefits of Blood Crystal.

In the same way, Cultivator of Magic may play a greater role in other places in the future.

"Sir, your food and drinks are here."

The tavern brought over a beautiful jade pot. "This is the best Red Mulberry Jade Liquid here, in the whole Compassion Sea Region!"

He gave a thumbs up and put down the four side dishes. "The extra two side dishes are provided for free, so please use them slowly."

Xiao Chen glanced at it and saw that it was the dried meat and sliced meat made by Spirit Beast Meat.

He tried to taste it and felt that the free side dishes seemed to taste better.

"Come on, come on, give it to Fellow Daoist Yan!"

At the table on the right, two new monks from Early-stage Golden Core arrived. "Long time no see, where have you made a fortune in the past two years, fellow Daoist?"

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Wu, please stop teasing me."

The Fellow Daoist Yan showed a wry smile, "I have a relative at Azure Sea Market. I heard they were short of people there the year before last."

"I was urged three times last year and I really couldn't resist going over to take a look."

"I regret it so much."

Fellow Daoist Wu next to him heard this and asked in surprise, "That can't be true. They are all members of our family. Can they still treat you badly?"

"If such a thing really happens, I can't stand it."

Fellow Daoist Yan shook his head. "But it's not because of this."

Then he deliberately lowered his voice a little. "Fellow Daoist Wu doesn't know something, so Azure Sea Market has been very strange in the past two years."

"There is a Get Rich Wall there, you must have heard of it, right?"

"In the past six months alone, I have seen with my own eyes that seven of our Golden Core comrades have disappeared."

In Cultivation World, there are always a lot of unexpected things.

Therefore, the Fellow Daoist Wu asked curiously, "If he is just missing, maybe he is trapped in some Secret Realm ruins. Isn't this nothing strange?"

Not to mention that Golden Core cultivator disappeared for a year, which is like an ordinary person missing for two months.

Sometimes I suddenly have an adventure, or I become Bandit Cultivator temporarily and hide quietly.

Then after a few years, the news disappeared, and many monks came back on their own.

"This time it's different."

That Fellow Daoist Yan spoke with fear in his tone, "Those people didn't disappear together, they all disappeared in scattered pieces."

"Forget it, there are just a few people on the surface, but in fact there are far more."

He held out two fingers. "Many people are not offering rewards. According to the internal information I have learned, at least 20 to 30 comrades have disappeared in the past two years."

I heard that so many of my colleagues are missing.

Fellow Daoist Wu was obviously a little surprised. "Is your inside information accurate? What happened?"

I saw Fellow Daoist Yan swearing. "My friend's brother is on duty at the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. This is the news he told me personally."

"And my relative didn't open a small shop in Fangshi."

"Usually during the holidays, I have to give 10% of the profit to Golden Face Tiger in the city. But at the end of December last year, I heard that Tiger Lord disappeared for no reason."

Hearing the specific examples, Fellow Daoist Wu was shocked. "Hi~, something big must have happened secretly."

"That's right!" Fellow Daoist Yan nodded. "So this year I found an excuse to come back here, and it won't get over with anything else."

Originally Xiao Chen was very excited to listen to it and was curious if there was really any problem here.

He had also heard discussions before about the continuous disappearance of a large number of Golden Core Cultivator individuals, which was indeed very suspicious.

As a result, a somewhat familiar name suddenly popped up.

Although he didn't know Golden Face Tiger, he had an intuition in his heart that the Tiger Lord they mentioned was probably the one who blocked the road and blackmailed him.

After all, there are often only a few people who are capable of being domineering.

This is the bad thing about gossip. It always exaggerates the facts, and some things may even be spread beyond recognition.

Therefore, Xiao Chen did not take the so-called disappearance of a large number of Golden Core cultivator to heart.

After briefly satisfying my appetite, I went to the inn opposite the restaurant to have a good night's rest.

Early the next morning, I left Fangshi and went straight to the Listening Wave Sea.

"Hey, why is there fog here?"

Halfway through the journey, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed a large white thick fog filling the front.

He opened the chart in his hand to check, only to find that four months ago, this was a safe area.

Speaking of which, this is the third time he has met Yin Spirit Calamity.

It also means that Compassion Sea Region has another ruin somewhere that is about to be opened.

"I don't know if Listening Wave Sea has a reliable source of information. If it's convenient, it's a good thing to go and take a look."

Xiao Chen wrote this down secretly, but he was not in a hurry.

The most urgent task is to collect the remaining spiritual objects.

No matter what else, we have to wait until the auction is over before making any plans.

"Fortunately, I set aside enough time to hurry up, just to prevent any accidents."

Bypassing Yin Spirit Calamity, there were no other unexpected situations along the way.

So sixteen days later, at noon on March 14, Xiao Chen successfully arrived at the Listening Wave Sea.

In order to successfully hold this large-scale auction, which has been prepared for three years, Cloud Wave Sword Abode made many arrangements with the largest local company Jade Leaf Commerce Association.

Since the Chinese New Year, the entire Listening Wave Sea range.

Wherever there are people, disciples are sent to put up big red notices.

So Xiao Chen saw the notice effortlessly.

In the upper part of the notice, several well-known auction items are listed.

Among them are not only talismans of no less than fourth grade, but also rare treasures such as Dao Comprehension Crystal. It is also specially marked that the mysterious Fourth-Order Spirit Pill will participate in the auction.

Many of the items in the auction were intentionally only half introduced. For example, the talismans were not specifically marked as defensive items.

The answer needs to be revealed at the auction, in order to arouse the curiosity of more monks.

There are many spiritual objects at the auction, and as long as there are enough monks there, someone will always buy something they might not have planned to buy originally.

In addition, there are naturally things like Inherited Cultivation Method on the notice.

It just doesn't matter to Xiao Chen.

He turned his attention to the lower part of the notice, where a simple map was drawn, indicating the general situation of the Listening Wave Sea.

The focus is on the building Listening Wave Island responsible for hosting the auction.

"It was not held at Listening Wave Island, but was chosen to be held on Soejima next to it."

Xiao Chen immediately understood the meaning. This was because he was afraid of scaring away some casual cultivators.

In fact, theoretically speaking, casual cultivators are not the main customers of such large-scale auctions.

Maybe it's more about increasing popularity.

Thanks to the ubiquitous notices guiding the direction, Xiao Chen successfully found Listening Wave Island.

This is an oval island with a length of more than 600 miles and a width of more than 500 miles.

I don't know when it was completely filled in.

The original mountains, rivers, lakes, and beaches were all turned into flat land that was as high as the left and right.

Immediately afterwards, extensive construction work was carried out on the flat land.

Xiao Chen Looking down from above, we can see that in addition to the square, spacious and orderly streets on the entire island, there is also a Great Plaza specially set aside in the middle.

Various large and small houses have been built in other places.

The inner circle is mostly filled with various shops, while the outer circle is full of inns with different signboards.

Perhaps because white paper is easy to draw on, the plan of Listening Wave Island is almost perfect, with different restrictions on the height of the house and the style of the roof.

From a distance, it looks like a work of art.

Fortunately, this is Cultivation World, and the people working on it are all monks, otherwise it would be a long-lasting and big project.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Chen noticed that in addition to Great Plaza and the Auction Hall next to it covering an area of several acres.

Anti-Air Restriction is not set up in the rest of Listening Wave Island.

And not only were there no restrictions, there were no traces of any large-scale formations.

The few Spirit Awakening lights he could see came from the small protective circle in the inn.

This is the same as the reason for choosing the location before, which is to make the monks who come to participate in the auction feel more secure.

Of course, the monks who came here were also quite sensible and did not fly around the island just because of the lack of restrictions.

Everyone lowered their flight height in unison and landed on the street at the edge of the island.

Then reach different areas by walking.

In this matter, Xiao Chen did not deliberately stand out, but followed the trend and fell on the edge, and then walked to the center.

Due to the delay of Yin Spirit Calamity, there are only three days left before the auction day.

Therefore, his first destination is Auction Hall.

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist."

At the door of the hall, a beautiful-looking female cultivator Golden Core reminded, "The auction is on the 18th and is still being prepared."

"If you need Consignment Auction, please move to the Appraisal Pavilion on the right."

"It is temporarily inconvenient to enter here, thank you for your understanding."

Facing Golden Core cultivator, the other party seemed very polite.

But before Xiao Chen stepped into the Appraisal Pavilion, he saw a newly arrived Foundation Establishment who wanted to go to the Auction Hall.

As a result, he was immediately stopped by the guards patrolling the outside of the hall.

"Senior, please go upstairs!"

Xiao Chen followed the waiter to Quiet Room on the second floor. There was an appraiser waiting inside.

"I am Jade Leaf Commerce Association Senior Appraiser, senior, you can call me Little Zhao."

In order to avoid misunderstanding, the other party first revealed his identity, and then asked, "Senior, what do you want to auction?"

Xiao Chen took out Heavy Origin Spirit Breath Soil from Vast Sea Ring: "Please help me take a look at this first."

Little Zhao put on the ice Silk Gloves and carefully opened the jade box.

"Senior, please wait a moment, I'll ask the master to come over and palm the eyes."

Little Zhao bowed respectfully, then quickly walked out to ask for help.

Originally, as Senior Appraiser, he could handle most third-level items.

Responsible for receiving casual cultivators, which is actually enough.

Who would have thought that Xiao Chen would turn out to be Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, which is obviously out of line!
