Nine Mountains Auction is located in a wooden building similar to a double-story theater, with a square patio in the middle.
At one end of the patio is a wooden high platform with a small table on it. There is a clock on the table and a small golden hammer tilted next to the clock, which is used to announce the auction items to the host.
Under the high platform, there are dozens of rows of chairs. This place is for monks under Golden Core to sit.
There are dozens of boxes on the second floor. If monks above Nascent Soul come, they will be ushered into the box - this is also the practice of the Xuanwei Realm auction. To a certain extent, it is actually a relief for those low-level disciples...
Zheng Fa and Uncle-Master Pang stood in a box facing the high platform. They watched the seats downstairs gradually fill up. They watched Venerable Chengkong and Venerable Tongming enter the box. Then they smiled and said to Uncle-Master Pang on the side, "Uncle Master, your gossip has extraordinary effects."
The rumors about those disciples were all spread by Uncle-Master Pang.
Uncle-Master Pang smiled, with a self-satisfied look on his face, and replied, "It's just an investigation to see who has more contact with the Hundred Immortals Alliance's disciples. Isn't that what I <Void-Piercing Spirit Eye> do?"
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
Hundred Immortals Alliance When these monks enter Nine Mountains Realm, Nine Mountains Realm will naturally not do any security work - aside from other things, the laboratory on University Island is top secret.
Nine Mountains Realm has always been loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The Uncle-Master Pang lineage is always paying attention to these monks.
It is really not difficult to find a few people who are familiar with disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
"The fact that they came is not due to Non-Self."
Uncle-Master Pang said again.
Zheng Fa turned around and saw a trace of sincerity on Uncle-Master Pang's face as he said, "How can these Spirit Transformation or Nascent Soul be convinced by just a few rumors? It's just that I, Nine Mountains Sect, had fourteen Golden Core born in half a month, and half of them are top-grade... They don't believe it, but they have to believe it."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
Rumors are just rumors, but the facts cannot be refuted.
"Although they no longer need Core Formation, what about the disciples? What about the younger generations? To them, what does a External Core mean?" Uncle-Master Pang looked at those Nascent Souls entering one by one, smiling even more happily on his face, and there was some arrogance in his tone. "Besides, can I, Nine Mountains Sect, tell a lie?"
"That External Core contains the secret of <Golden Core Engineering>."
"Just see if they can understand it."
Zheng Fa became interested and asked, "What do Uncle-Master Pang think? Can they get a glimpse of the secret of <Golden Core Engineering>?"
Uncle-Master Pang glanced at him, as if he thought his question was stupid, "Look at that <Golden Core Engineering>, do I seem to have learned it?"
"... cough."
Zheng Fa nodded silently, <Golden Core Engineering> seems simple, but there is a lot of knowledge involved, and even he dare not say that he knows everything.
Not to mention, the knowledge systems of monks other than Nine Mountains Realm are different.
While the two were talking, the building was already filled with people. On the high platform, Senior Sister Yuan walked out from the backstage with a friendly and generous smile on his face.
She saluted to the box on the stage, and then said to the monks in the audience, "Dear guests..."
Looking at Senior Sister Yuan talking eloquently on the stage, Uncle-Master Pang smiled and sighed, "You really make the best use of people's talents and make the best use of birds... how could you think of her?"
Zheng Fa also looked at the stage with a smile. Senior Sister Yuan presided over the auction with ease and ease. She usually looked silly, but now she gave everyone present a special sense of trust.
Although everyone knows that she wants to make money from everyone's Storage Bag.
But looking at her round, slightly innocent smile, I feel that this Fairy Yuan probably doesn't have a deceptive mind...
"Senior Sister Yuan asked for it herself." Zheng Fa explained to Uncle-Master Pang, "She said that she had also received a lot of experience in the news, and she is no longer what she used to be."
It probably means that after three days of separation, the birds look at each other with admiration.
Don't tell me, Senior Sister Yuan is really... bird-like on stage.
Hearing this, Uncle-Master Pang actually thought about it for a moment and suddenly laughed, "That's really good. Although Senior Nephew Yuan was in charge of Marketplace before, we all know that she doesn't have the talent...Junior Nephew-Disciple Zhang gave her this position because he believed in her innocent heart."
"I didn't expect that she is so talented in this area."
"Don't blame me, even your master thinks this little guy is stupid. He just hopes that she won't get into trouble. I didn't expect that she would be like this Creation."
Zheng Fa also agrees with Uncle-Master Pang. Previously, the profit in Marketplace was too great. Senior Sister Zhang used Senior Sister Yuan because he valued her because she was just greedy and not very greedy Spirit Stone.
Other than that, it's just extravagant hope.
"Nephew Yuan, I have never been so happy."
Uncle-Master Pang suddenly sighed.
Looking at Senior Sister Yuan, who was a little unfamiliar on the stage but became more and more confident, Zheng Fa also laughed softly - Senior Sister Yuan is always smiling. She has a simple temper and can forget many worries even if she has a stutter. She is a pistachio.
But being able to find your own talents, use your intelligence and talents, and be loved by everyone is another kind of happiness.
After the auction, Venerable Tongming held a Dragon-Tiger External Alchemy in his hand, frowned and said, "The so-called <Golden Core Engineering> thing, is it not a rumor deliberately released by the Nine Mountains Sect? To attract me to rush to buy this External Core?"
He said, his expression still a little angry.
Nine Mountains Sect sold fifteen External Core in this wave, but there were far more than fifteen buyers.
The price is naturally a bit exaggerated.
"The rumor must have been intentional." Venerable Chengkong glanced at him and said with a smile, "Otherwise, how could anyone talk about such a top-secret matter?"
Venerable Tongming nodded, he also thought of this.
"However, this thing is related to the Nine Mountains Sect Core Formation Secret Method... it should be true."
Venerable Chengkong suddenly said again.
Venerable Tongming was stunned, then listened to Venerable Chengkong explain, "Most of the quality of External Core in the world is only equivalent to Lower-Grade Golden Core, or even the lowest Lower-Grade Golden Core."
He took out a Divine Firmament External Alchemy, pointed at the External Core and said, "But this one has the quality of Mid-Grade Golden Core."
"It can be seen that the so-called <Golden Core Engineering> is not a lie by them."
Venerable Tongming was convinced after hearing this. After thinking about it, he actually felt that Nine Mountains Sect was being kind. "In this way, even if the secret of the Core Formation method cannot be discovered, this high-quality External Core is actually worth the money."
Venerable Chengkong smiled and suddenly said, "Don't forget, there is also Great Freedom Demon Cult."
Venerable Tongming had a toothache, and understood the underlying lines of Venerable Chengkong - Even if you can't see the secret of <Golden Core Engineering>, this External Core is still a powerful Law Artifact.
The monk holding Foundation Establishment Perfection can almost compete with the weaker Golden Core...
Thinking about it this way, he actually didn't think this External Core was too expensive, but a little too little.
This Nine Mountains Sect External Core, with such quality, may become popular!
"Nine Mountains Sect..." Venerable Tongming sighed.
He only said three words, but Venerable Chengkong seemed to understand what he meant. "This Nine Mountains Sect, don't be clever, I won't mention this External Core, and that Spirit Plant..."
After speaking, his tone gradually became lower.
Venerable Tongming didn't care about his silence, but looked at Marketplace in front of him.
The small building where the auction was held was originally on Economic Development Island. As soon as they went out, they walked two steps to the newly built Marketplace at the Nine Mountains Sect--
Marketplace is actually not big, just a square area.
Three horizontally, three vertically, and six streets divide Marketplace into sixteen squares.
There are some shops in the squares. The shops are naturally new and simple in style, and some even have no decorations.
The products in the shop are actually very simple.
In fact, there are three representative products:
The most common spiritual talismans are thunder-type talismans and soul-type talismans.
Thousand Grain Rice and Thunder Pepper, etc., Zheng Fa are their newly developed crops.
There are also some thunder-type spiritual materials, which are naturally exchanged by some disciples in Medicine Garden. Those that are reluctant to use or have no use for the time being are sold here.
There are also some scattered shops selling Law Artifact or elixirs. Most of these shops were opened by the previous group of the Hundred Immortals Alliance disciples.
Apart from the magic talisman, Thunder Pepper has the most people buying it.
This Marketplace is a bit crude, but Bright Mountain's own Bright Mountain Market is much livelier and richer than this Marketplace.
But...
He walked slowly in Marketplace, buying nothing, just turning his head and looking around.
Those Nine Mountains Sect shopkeepers have peaceful and enthusiastic smiles on their faces.
The disciples he brought with him also shuttled between the shops happily and comfortably.
The relief on their faces was something he had not seen for a long time.
Yes, no matter how lively Bright Mountain Market is, the invasion of Great Freedom Demon Cult still makes people fearful.
He also saw Sect Master Yu from the Hundred Herbs Sect walking around, seemingly inspecting the shops here, and probably intending to open a shop here: He also thought this was a good choice. After all, Hundred Immortals Alliance is poor now. If he could do some business and make some Spirit Stone, it would be a small help to the sect.
Now Nine Mountains Sect is known as External Core, and it is extremely safe.
It is really tempting to open a store here.
Thinking of this, he blinked and felt sad.
Venerable Chengkong glanced at him, seemingly curious about his expression.
"I was thinking... no wonder Zheng Fa despises me Hundred Immortals Alliance."
"Huh?"
Venerable Tongming explained:
"I, Hundred Immortals Alliance, don't even mention recruiting new disciples. The disciples are still very precarious right now, while Nine Mountains Sect has hundreds of disciples starting in a year."
"Hundred Immortals Alliance Golden Core disciples, many people have died during this period, and Nine Mountains Sect Upper-Grade Golden Core is like a cloud..."
"Now that Marketplace is in business, you can imagine that it will be very prosperous in the future."
"As time goes by, one becomes more prosperous, while the other becomes weaker..."
Venerable Chengkong couldn't bear to hear it, so he said, "He also relies on the Nine Mountains Realm..."
"Nine Mountains Realm... used to be called Heavenly Stele Realm. It's not like I, Bright Mountain, didn't have disciples who entered this small world. Their skills are not as good as Zheng Fa, so this world became Nine Mountains Realm."
Hearing this, even Venerable Chengkong couldn't help but be speechless. Zheng Fa got Nine Mountains Realm, but with Foundation Establishment's cultivation, he defeated Xiao Yuying!
Who can not Qi Ingestion?
"It should be said that Nine Mountains Sect relies on Zheng Fa!" Venerable Tongming said bitterly.
"..."
"Master, how do you think I can make that Zheng Fa... be willing to return my Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
Venerable Chengkong glanced at him without saying a word, his eyes unpredictable.
"Zhao Jingfan pays homage to the envoy and the leader of the alliance."
Seventh Young Master Zhao Jingfan walked into the Venerable Chengkong yard, looking at Venerable Chengkong and Venerable Tongming in front of him, feeling confused:
Why was I, a little Qi Refinement Realm, suddenly summoned by two Spirit Transformations?
He saluted conscientiously, without even daring to raise his head.
Unexpectedly, Venerable Chengkong's tone was extremely kind. "Sit down, don't be nervous."
Seventh Young Master carefully sat down next to the chair in the room, raised his head, and saw...Venerable Chengkong actually smiled at him.
Smile!
"Envoy?"
"Are you familiar with Zheng Fa?"
Seventh Young Master blinked his eyes, understood a little, and nodded his head gently.
"He is your book boy?"
"Yes."
Spirit Transformation was in front, so Seventh Young Master naturally didn't dare to hide it, "But he is also my teacher."
"Teacher?"
"My Talisman Dao was also enlightened by him." Seventh Young Master explained, "True Person Zhang once said that Zheng Fa's talent in Talisman Dao is the best in the world!"
He started to blow Zheng Fa unconsciously.
Venerable Chengkong nodded slowly, thoughtfully, and then asked, "Please tell me in detail about Zheng Fa's past."
Seventh Young Master Although he didn't know why, he could only tell the truth.
After finishing speaking, Venerable Chengkong asked some additional questions.
What puzzled him was that Venerable Chengkong asked more about how Zheng Fa treated him, Gao Yuan, and even Huang Yu and the others.
When he walked out of the yard, he was still a little dizzy and seemed to be out of his mind.
In the courtyard, Venerable Tongming looked at Venerable Chengkong in confusion, wondering why he was looking for Zhao Jingfan.
"This Zheng Fa has been extremely talented since he was a child. He has a photographic memory and is able to master martial arts and the way of spiritual talismans as soon as he learns it..."
"Later on Thunder Method, it was the same."
"Then Thunder Pepper and Spirit Plant, it seems that he also deserves some credit."
"And External Core, I'm afraid he also has some talent in the art of weapon refining."
After saying this, Venerable Tongming said in shock, "He really knows everything he can learn? Is he an all-rounder?"
Venerable Chengkong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is different from Venerable Tianhe. Venerable Tianhe... is nothing but She Jian. The difference is huge."
"Venerable Tianhe?"
Venerable Tongming was confused and didn't understand why Venerable Chengkong mentioned Venerable Tianhe.
Venerable Chengkong did not answer him, but said to himself, "Coupled with the Nine Mountains Sect's behavior, he actually has some skills in managing the sect."
After listening to this, Venerable Tongming felt even more itchy - there are some things that I don't understand the value of if I don't put them together...
Putting it all together, this Zheng Fa is far from what a practicing genius can describe!
"But... how can we convince him to return to the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Venerable Chengkong didn't know if he heard what he said, but he said slowly:
"Zheng Fa This person... is both indifferent and affectionate."
"From what Zhao Jingfan said just now, he is actually not easy to make friends with and likes to be alone. But once he is regarded as a friend, he is quite generous and does not grudge Secret Method."
Venerable Tongming was even more convinced after hearing this.
The same thing happened when he thought about it. Didn't Zhao Jingfan make friends with Zheng Fa by accident and learn from Talisman Dao?
"In other words, to convince Zheng Fa, it's best to start with him. If that doesn't work, then start with the Nine Mountains Sect..."
"Yes!"
Venerable Tongming suddenly realized it, clapped his hands, and then frowned. "It is not easy to start with the Nine Mountains Sect. Becoming the master of the Hundred Immortals Alliance will also be of great benefit to the Nine Mountains Sect, and he will not be tempted."
"Hundred Immortals Alliance... he doesn't like it, but what about Supreme Dao?"
Venerable Chengkong said suddenly.
"Supreme Dao Naturally... ah?"
Venerable Tongming finally understood what Venerable Chengkong was talking about. He suddenly looked at the envoy with a single expression -
Do you want to rob me too?
Now he finally understands that Venerable Chengkong has summarized Zheng Fa's talent, and is actually really attracted to Zheng Fa!
Good news: Zheng Fa is more talented than he thought!
Bad news: He is also more talented than Venerable Chengkong imagined.
"He Nine Mountains Realm is not impenetrable... Only I, Supreme Dao, can protect Nine Mountains Sect in this catastrophe."
"..."
Venerable Tongming understands, but doesn't want to speak.
"His talent... will definitely be valued by me, Supreme Dao."
"Then... what about the Hundred Immortals Alliance?"
Venerable Tongming couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not from the Hundred Immortals Alliance."
"..."
"Zhao Jinglan has been here?"
As soon as Zheng Fa came to Paradise Island, the little girl chirped a message.
"Yes, the eldest lady came here specially and said that Seventh Young Master was in a hurry. She asked her to bring a Communication Talisman over and asked me to give it to you."
Zheng Fa took Communication Talisman, and you can understand it at a glance.
It was given by Seventh Young Master. He was worried about it and even asked his sister to bring it in human flesh.
Communication Talisman talked about the incident when Venerable Chengkong found him, and also explained his response one by one. There were only three words in the words:
Correct confession!
Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. To be honest, Seventh Young Master was actually a bit dangerous - even though he was very cautious, Spirit Transformation Divine Ability was extraordinary, and it was difficult for him to hide it from the Qi Refinement Realm.
He thought about it and realized that at least he had not exposed anything about modern times in front of Seventh Young Master, let alone said anything about Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.
There is no problem with Seventh Young Master.
But this Venerable Chengkong, I don't know what it is for?
Soon, he knew.
Late at night, Venerable Chengkong came to the door.
He came alone.
"Master?"
"Are you willing to join me Supreme Dao?"
This man is still so straightforward.
"Master?"
"I know, you think that with the Nine Mountains Realm here, you can stay out of the catastrophe."
"..."
"But I'm afraid you don't know that Nine Mountains Realm, or in other words, Grotto-Heaven World, is not enough to let you sit back and relax."
"Although it is difficult to forcefully enter Grotto-Heaven World,... it is not impossible for anyone to do it."
Zheng Fa Silently, he had already thought of this matter.
How Heavenly Venerable died, he has not forgotten.
The meaning of Venerable Chengkong is also very clear: no one is dealing with the Nine Mountains Realm now. It seems that Nine Mountains Realm doesn't have many things that are worthy of attracting the attention of those powerful people.
But if Nine Mountains Realm continues to develop like this... it's hard to say.
Maybe Venerable Chengkong just thinks that Nine Mountains Realm may develop into something coveted by others.
But Zheng Fa is becoming more and more confident!
What's more, Xuanwei Calamity is here, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future.
"Moreover, your Nine Mountains Realm cannot communicate with heaven and earth. This is an incomplete cave. Compared with the ordinary Grotto-Heaven World, it is easier for others to take advantage of it."
Zheng Fa was shocked. He had thought about this for a long time and always thought it was Sun-Moon Bell's problem.
But now it seems... there seems to be another reason?
I saw Venerable Chengkong take out a Spirit Bamboo.
As soon as this Spirit Bamboo appeared, he felt that the Sun-Moon Bell in Medicine Garden was faintly stirring. What made Zheng Fa even more strange was that he could feel that the Spiritual Qi on this Spirit Bamboo was changing the composition of Spiritual Qi in the Nine Mountains Realm.
That is to say--
Previously, Nine Mountains Realm could only be used with Thunder Method, but now that Spirit Bamboo appears, it seems that some Law Technique can be used.
"This is..."
"Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root." Venerable Chengkong said leisurely, "This is a secret that only I, Five Sects of Xuanwei, know... If you didn't have Nine Mountains Realm, I wouldn't tell you."
"If you want to perfect Grotto-Heaven World, there is a way. You must find a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root and combine it with the world. Then the world will grow and be perfected with Spirit Root."
"What do you think my Five Sects of Xuanwei background is?"
"Spirit Root? No, Grotto-Heaven World?"
Zheng Fa guessed.
"That's it... if you join me in Supreme Dao, you will have the opportunity to get Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root. Only then will Nine Mountains Realm have the opportunity to be further improved."
Zheng Fa was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but ask, "How many is this so-called Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Root?"
"Of course not many. My Pure Tranquility Bamboo is just a branch... I think about it, there are probably less than ten kinds of Spirit Root that I know of. The most famous ones are Yellow-Center Plum, Flat Peach... Oh, and Fusang Wood!"
Zheng Fa:...
To be honest, I am a man and I am pregnant with a Fusang Wood.
