Two days later, Hundred Treasures Pavilion Changxi Branch Pavilion.
In the private room on the third floor, Chen Jianghe stood in front of the window, looking through the gap in the bamboo curtain at the lobby downstairs.
A three-foot-high platform was erected in the middle of the hall. The platform was covered with a scarlet velvet carpet, and a bronze palace lantern stood at each corner.
The audience was already filled with thirty or forty people, all of whom were well-dressed and well-dressed. Occasionally, there were some well-dressed warriors among them, and all of them had strong auras.
Qian Shouyi was sitting on the Taishi chair by the window, sipping tea slowly.
Both of them wore black robes to hide their faces. This was an auction specially arranged by Deacon Zhou. Some buyers did not want to reveal their identities. It was Hundred Treasures Pavilion's old rule to hide their faces in black robes.
"Jianghe, sit down and have a cup of tea." Qian Shouyi whispered, "We have to wait a while before we start."
Chen Jianghe nodded and sat down by the window.
The tea is the finest Yuqian Longjing tea, with a refreshing fragrance.
He had no intention of savoring it, and the light always fell on the high platform downstairs.
Pulse-Renewing Spirit Marrow.
Whether you can get this thing or not is related to whether the master can live longer.
"Dang"
With a clear gong sound, the auction officially began.
An old man in gray robe climbed up to the high platform, clasped his fists together and said loudly, "Dear distinguished guests, I am Zhou Fu, I am the host of this auction. The rules remain the same, the highest bidder wins, and there is no regret at the hammer. There are a total of twelve auction items today, each of them is a treasure. Please take a look."
He stepped aside, and two men in green clothes came onto the stage carrying a rosewood frame.
The shelf was covered with red silk, and underneath was a piece of neatly folded soft armor.
Zhou Fu opened the red silk and said loudly, "The first piece, a low-grade treasure Golden Silk Soft Scale Armor", take the soft skin from Golden Scale Python's abdomen and mix it with Golden Silk Spider silk, which took three months to be woven by skilled craftsmen in the North. It is invulnerable to water and fire, and can withstand a full blow from Gang Force Peak. The base price is 300,000 taels, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 taels."
The audience was instantly excited.
"Three hundred and one thousand!"
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
Chen Jianghe's hand holding the tea cup paused slightly.
Three hundred thousand taels.
A piece of low-grade treasure armor has a base price of three hundred thousand taels.
The bidding continued one after another, but within ten seconds, the price had climbed to 450,000 taels.
"Fifty million!" A middle-aged man in brocade robes suddenly stood up, his eyes full of determination to win.
There was silence for a moment.
Zhou Fu glanced around and saw that no one was raising the price. He tapped the gavel lightly in his hand. "Fifty thousand taels, deal!"
Chen Jianghe watched quietly, but shook his head secretly in his heart.
He originally thought that he had made a fortune by plundering one hundred thousand taels from the two deacons.
But now when I see these people spending huge sums of money without changing their expressions, I really understand what financial resources mean."
If you have such a net worth, you will definitely compete for this Ink Scale Armor.
A protective object like this that can block a full blow from Gang Force Peak can give you an extra life at a critical moment.
What a pity----
The second lot was a 500-year-old Purple Lingzhi, which was sold for 180,000 taels.
The third item was a pair of Black Iron Heavy Sword, a low-grade treasure, which was sold for 260,000 taels.
The fourth item was a bottle of three Barrier-Breaking Pill, which was sold for 150,000 taels.
Chen Jianghe watched silently, gaining a deeper understanding of the auction prices.
One hundred thousand taels is really nothing here.
"Dang"
The fifth gong sounded.
Zhou Fu cleared his throat and raised his voice a few minutes. "The fifth item, Pulse-Renewing Spirit Marrow. This product is produced by Southern Border Ten Thousand Zhang Deep Valley. It is condensed from thousands of years of stone milk. It can warm and nourish damaged meridians. It is also effective for warriors above Gang Jin. The base price is fifty thousand taels, and each increase in price must not be less than five thousand taels."
Chen Jianghe The hand holding the tea cup tightened slightly.
Two men in green clothes carefully lifted a sapphire box. The lid of the box opened, revealing a milky-white crystal the size of a baby's fist.
The crystal is moist all over and has a faint radiance. You can smell a refreshing fragrance from a few feet away.
"Fifty-five thousand taels!" Someone in the audience took the lead in bidding.
"Sixty thousand!"
"Sixty-five thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
The bidding continued one after another, and it was more enthusiastic than any previous auction.
Pulse-Renewing Spirit Marrow, it also has miraculous effects on high-level warriors. Among those present, who doesn't have a few elders, relatives and friends?
Chen Jianghe is in no rush to bid.
He listened quietly, and when the price reached 75,000 taels, the bidding gradually became thinner, and only two people were left competing.
"Eighty thousand!" an old man in gray robe gritted his teeth.
Another middle-aged man in a brocade robe hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head and sat back on the chair.
Zhou Fu was about to drop the hammer when a deep voice came from the private room on the third floor. "Ninety thousand."
There was a moment of silence in the field.
Everyone looked up at the half-closed window on the third floor. Behind the bamboo curtain, a figure in black robe could be vaguely seen sitting upright.
The expression of the old man in gray robe changed, he opened his mouth, but in the end he did not increase the price.
Zhou Fu scanned the audience and said loudly, "Ninety thousand taels, is there any increase in price?"
No one answered.
"Ninety thousand taels, deal!"
The gavel fell, and the clear sound echoed throughout the audience.
Chen Jianghe slowly looked away and put the tea cup back on the table.
Ninety thousand taels.
It was slightly higher than the 80,000 taels he expected, but still within the acceptable range.
Qian Shouyi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Okay, I got it."
Chen Jianghe nodded, but suddenly remembered that the old man in gray robe had gritted his teeth when he bid for 180,000 taels, and Deacon Zhou had already told him that the market price of this item was probably around 80,000 taels.
He reached into his arms and touched the stack of banknotes. There was more than 10,000 yuan left.
The money collected from Feng Yan and Song Qi, plus the salary saved by myself, totaled over one hundred thousand taels.
This trip was almost complete.
Chen Jianghe The corners of his lips twitched slightly, revealing a hint of self-mockery.
"The sect's salary is limited after all. It would be nice if there were a few more bandit leaders for me to search their bodies for."
This thought flashed through his mind, but his face remained calm, and he just quietly watched the auction that continued in the audience.
He had no interest in paying attention to the next few lots.
After about a stick of incense, a waiter in green gently knocked on the door and entered, offering a sapphire box with both hands.
"Dear guest, the Pulse-Renewing Spirit Marrow you took."
Chen Jianghe took the jade box and opened it.
The milky white crystal lay quietly in the box, with a delicate fragrance and warm tentacles.
He looked at it for a moment, closed the jade box, turned around and handed it to Qian Shouyi.
"Uncle Qian, I entrust you to bring this thing back to Yilin County and hand it over to Physician Qin."
Qian Shouyi took the jade box, put it seriously into his arms, and patted his chest. "Don't worry, I will send it back in person and watch Physician Qin give Master Li the medicine."
Chen Jianghe clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qian."
Qian Shouyi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Why are you so polite to me? You can go back to the sect to practice in peace, Master Li, I will take care of you over there."
Chen Jianghe nodded, then turned to Deacon Zhou and Lin Yan who were waiting quietly, clasping his fists and saying, "Deacon Zhou, Brother Lin, I've been bothered a lot today. If I have the chance, I'll definitely come to thank you."
Deacon Zhou stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Young Hero Chen You're welcome. If you need anything else in the future, just come to me, Yan'er, and give me Young Hero Chen."
Lin Yan nodded and accompanied Chen Jianghe downstairs to the door of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion.
The two stopped in front of the door.
Lin Yan looked at Chen Jianghe, his eyes full of reluctance and gratitude, but he also knew that he couldn't keep it, so he solemnly clasped his fists. "Brother Chen, take care of yourself along the way."
Chen Jianghe looked at him and said slowly, "Brother Lin, take care too. Follow Deacon Zhou and learn from him, and you will definitely be good in the future."
Lin Yan nodded vigorously.
Chen Jianghe said no more, turned around and strode away.
Changxi Prefecture City Thirty miles south, on a remote slope.
Chen Jianghe is riding a horse. This road is the only way back to the Xingyi Sect. It has rolling hills on both sides, dense forests and sparsely populated areas.
He was not riding fast, but his eyes were always paying attention to his surroundings. The horse's hoofs stepped on the gravel, making a tiny sound.
Walking to a corner of a slope, Chen Jianghe suddenly reined in the reins.
The horse snorted uneasily, dug its front hooves on the ground, and refused to take another half step forward.
Chen Jianghe turned over and dismounted, his eyes scanning the dense forest ahead.
It was so quiet in the forest, not even the chirping of birds.
He slowly pulled out the Abyss Settler Spear, pointed the tip of the gun diagonally at the ground, and walked up the ramp at an unhurried pace.
Take more than twenty steps -
"Whoops!"
In the forest on the left, a figure suddenly jumped out!
The sword was as bright as snow and cut straight through the back of the neck!
Chen Jianghe didn't look back, Abyss Settler Spear turned sideways, the gun body was like an iron cable crossing the river, accurately blocking the thick-backed machete.
"Dang"
Gold and iron clash, and sparks fly!
The huge repulsive force caused the man's jaw to crack, and he almost lost his hand with the thick-backed machete!
It is Ge Hong.
His pupils shrank suddenly, his face full of disbelief.
He tried his best with this sword, but even Initiation of Gang Force didn't dare to take it hard!
But Chen Jianghe didn't move at all!
Before he could react, the Chen Jianghe gun shook, knocking him back three steps!
The tip of the spear turned and was about to stab out -
In the forest on the right, another figure jumped out!
The man held a short ax and slashed Chen Jianghe's waist and ribs!
Guo Mu!
Chen Jianghe's eyes turned cold, and the five fingers of his left hand suddenly opened!
Three Willow Leaf Dart shot out from the sleeves and went straight to Guo Mu's face!
Guo Mu was so shocked that he slashed horizontally with the short axe, knocking two of them away, but the third one grazed his cheek, leaving a trail of blood!
"Second brother, save me!"
Chen Jianghe didn't give him a chance to call for help.
Abyss Settler Spear's spear light skyrocketed three feet, and a "Meteor Chasing the Moon" hit Ge Hong!
Ge Hong tried his best to block with a horizontal sword!
"Dang--click!"
The thick-backed machete snapped in response!
The force of the spear tip continued unabated, and with a "puff" sound, it penetrated Ge Hong's right shoulder!
The blood mist exploded!
Ge Hong howled miserably, and flew backwards, hitting an ancient tree hard, and blood spurted out from his mouth!
He struggled to get up, but found that his right shoulder had been penetrated, and his entire arm was hanging softly, and he could no longer exert any strength.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Jianghe with eyes full of fear and unwillingness.
Initiation of Gang Force.
This guy is also Initiation of Gang Force.
But why, why was he as vulnerable as a child in front of him?
Chen Jianghe didn't look at him.
He drew his gun, shook off the blood on the tip, turned around and walked towards Guo Mu.
Guo Mu collapsed on the ground, the hand holding the hatchet shaking violently, and his face was as pale as paper.
"You----don't come here! Mr. Hu! Mr. Hu Come out quickly!"
Before he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the dense forest.
The man was about in his early fifties, thin, wearing a red and white robe, with a pale face and three long beards under his chin.
Hu Yi.
He stood ten feet away, and his light slowly swept over Chen Jianghe's body, and finally landed on the spear that was still dripping blood.
"Good marksmanship." He spoke slowly, with a cold meaning, "Heaven Pivot Breaking Formation Spear, Dacheng. No wonder Feng Yan,
Song Qi Those two losers will die in your hands."
Chen Jianghe looked at him, his face as calm as water.
"Sun-Moon Divine Cult?" he asked.
Hu Yi was startled for a moment, then smiled.
The smile was very faint, but it revealed an indescribable weirdness.
"You do have some discernment." He straightened his sleeves slowly, "Yes, I am Sun-Moon Divine Cult, Hu Yi."
I came today to seek justice for Feng Yan and Song Qi, and also to seek an explanation for my nephew Black Wolf."
Chen Jianghe pupils shrink.
Black Wolf.
That night Black Wind Cave, those red pupils with the blood moon flowing.
"Black Wolf is your nephew?"
"Yes." Hu Yi nodded, "Although my nephew is useless, he is still my Sun-Moon Divine Cult. If you kill him, I should take your life. But——"
He paused and glanced at Chen Jianghe, a glimmer of greed flashing in his eyes.
"Your physical body is rare. It took one and a half years to develop from Minor Completion of Transforming Force to Initiation of Gang Force. It has a solid foundation and strong Qi and blood. If you can refine it into Blood Puppet, it will definitely be a first-rate killing weapon."
Chen Jianghe held Abyss Settler Spear tightly and said nothing.
The smile on Hu Yi's lips deepened, "Don't worry, I will keep your whole body. After all - to make Blood Puppet, you need a complete body."
The moment he finished speaking, he moved!
The red and white robes swayed, and Gang Qi burst out!
A skinny palm slapped Chen Jianghe in the face!
Before the palm arrives, the wind has already started!
The power of this palm is more than twice as powerful as that of Ge Hong!
Minor Mastery of Gang Force!
Chen Jianghe's eyes narrowed and he advanced instead of retreating!
Abyss Settler Spear suddenly rose up, the gun body trembled violently, and the gun light skyrocketed three feet!
"Dang"
The guns and palms struck each other, and the loud noise shook the mountains and forests!
Chen Jianghe took three steps back, his mouth numb slightly.
Hu Yi also took a step back, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Such a strong force." He murmured in a low voice, "Initiation of Gang Force, how can you take my palm and not retreat? This kid----"
He didn't finish speaking, his eyes were even more greedy.
Such a body, refined into Blood Puppet, must be of the highest quality!
Chen Jianghe Stand firm, take a deep breath, and suppress the surging blood.
Minor Mastery of Gang Force, really powerful.
If he relied solely on his marksmanship, he would be able to get away with it at most. Killing this person would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
But----
He reached into his arms with his left hand and took out the Octagonal Flying Star.
Hu Yi's eyes fell on the hidden weapon, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"Octagonal Flying Star?" His face changed slightly, "How come you have this thing?"
Chen Jianghe did not answer.
Within his body, the light cyan wood attribute Gang Qi surged wildly, splitting into two strands, injecting fire attribute power and water attribute power respectively!
The three forces merged suddenly in the palm of my hand!
Light purple light suddenly bloomed from his palm!
Hu Yi's face changed drastically!
"This is"
Chen Jianghe didn't give him time to react.
He suddenly raised his left hand, and Octagonal Flying Star came out!
Eight sharp blades as thin as cicada wings ejected from the machine bracket, turning into eight black lights, with erratic trajectories, shooting at Hu Yi from all directions at the same time!
At the same moment, he stabbed straight with a spear in his right hand!
The gun's glow skyrocketed three feet, and the tip of the gun, with that strange lavender light, went straight to Hu Yi's heart!
Hu Yi's pupils suddenly shrank!
He tried his best, Gang Qi spread out wildly all over his body, and slapped the eight black lights with one palm!
"Dang Dang Dang Dang""
Seven rays of black light were blown away by the wind of his palm, but the eighth ray brushed past his ribs, tearing open a bloody wound!
Before he can take a breath, Chen Jianghe's gun has arrived!
The lavender light from the tip of the spear pierced his Body-Protecting Gang Qi hard!
"Chi"
Body-Protecting Gang Qi broke in response!
The force of the gun tip continued unabated, and with a "puff" sound, it penetrated the left chest of Hu Yi!
Hu Yi's eyes bulged, he looked down at the spear point protruding from his chest, and his lips trembled violently.
"You----what are you----"
Chen Jianghe did not answer.
He drew his gun and shook away the blood.
Hu Yi's body shook and fell to the ground.
Those eyes were wide open until death, full of fear and disbelief.
Chen Jianghe put away his gun and stood up, then turned to look at Guo Mu.
Guo Mu collapsed on the ground, trembling like chaff.
He looked at Hu Yi lying in a pool of blood, and at the figure in green who pierced Minor Mastery of Gang Force with a sword, his mind went blank.
"Don't----don't kill me----" his voice trembled and he shrank back desperately, "I can do anything! It's Ge Hong! It's Ge Hong who insists on revenge! I just followed!"
Chen Jianghe said nothing.
He stepped forward with his gun in hand.
The tip of the gun fell.
Guo Mu groaned, his body twitched a few times, and then became silent again.
Chen Jianghe put away his gun and glanced at the three corpses.
Then he began to skillfully search for corpses.
Hu Yi took out the fragments of a thin booklet <Sun-Moon Demonic Art> from his arms.
Chen Jianghe only glanced at it and put the booklet into his arms.
I will have to study this thing carefully when the time comes.
Keep searching.
Hu Yi There is a close-fitting inner lining, and there is a thick stack of banknotes.
Chen Jianghe counted.
Eighty thousand taels.
Guo Mu also has more than thirty thousand taels on him.
Ge Hong More, more than 40,000 taels.
After searching the three corpses, they found a total of more than 150,000 taels.
Chen Jianghe held the stack of banknotes and was silent for a moment, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
He put the banknote and the secret book into his arms, made sure nothing was missing, and then got on his horse.
Xingyi Sect, Mission Hall.
Chen Jianghe handed over the deacon's token and canceled the fake one.
Deacon Zhao verified that it was correct, handed back the token, and said casually, "Junior Brother Chen, is this trip going well?"
Chen Jianghe nodded. "It's acceptable."
Deacon Zhao didn't ask any further questions and waved his hand, "Go ahead, go ahead.
97
Chen Jianghe turned and left.
He did not return to Soaring Wood Court, but went directly to the southeast of the Green Rock Mountain Range.
Hunting Ground No. C-7.
When Chen Jianghe stepped into the field, it was almost dusk.
Outside the wooden house, three figures stood side by side.
Wang Tiesheng, Li Yumei, Zhou Xiaowei, when they saw him coming back, they all clasped their fists and saluted.
Wang Tiesheng took a step forward, but his face was a little solemn. "Deacon Chen, you are finally back."
Chen Jianghe looked at him, frowning slightly. "What's the matter?"
Wang Tiesheng was about to speak when a burly figure strode out of the wooden house.
Shi Ming.
He was dressed in Thick Earth Court's smart clothes and looked a little tired. He was obviously relieved to see Chen Jianghe back.
"Junior Brother Chen, you're finally back." He stepped forward quickly, cupping his fists and saying, "Brother Yu took the liberty of coming here uninvited. I hope you'll forgive me."
Chen Jianghe cupped his fists and returned the greeting. "Brother Shi, you're welcome. What's the matter?"
Shi Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The strange beast was frightened again."
Chen Jianghe pupils shrink.
Shi Ming continued, "At midnight last night, on the 5th, 6th, and 7th, the alien beasts roared and charged at the same time. Brother Yu happened to be on duty at night, so he came immediately after hearing the news. Together with Wang Tiesheng and the others, they patrolled the fence all night to appease the alien beasts, and they did not stop until dawn."
He paused and looked at Chen Jianghe with a hint of apology in his eyes. "Brother Yu knew that Junior Brother Chen was away on leave, so he took it upon himself to control the situation first. Fortunately, although the strange beast was frightened last night, it did not break through the fence and no one was injured."
Chen Jianghe was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shi.
Shi Ming waved his hand. "Neighbors should do it."
He turned around and walked in the direction of East District: "Junior Brother Chen, come with me and take a look at those claw marks."
Chen Jianghe steps up to keep up.
The two of them walked one behind the other until they reached the East District fence.
The fence that he had carefully inspected now had more than ten new marks.
Chen Jianghe squatted down and looked carefully.
The claw marks are extremely deep, tearing the hardwood as thick as a bowl and leaving cracks, and the edges are ragged, with burrs inevitably left when animal claws tear them apart.
Several wooden piles were even broken at the waist, and there were thick stubble at the fractures, which was clearly caused by a huge impact.
This is nothing like those overly smooth traces from last month.
This time, a real strange beast was frightened.
He stretched out his hand and slowly groped along the inside of the claw marks.
The touch is rough, full of the stinging sensation of wooden thorns pricking the hand, without any trace of artificial forgery.
Chen Jianghe stood up and looked at the deep forest inside the fence.
Shi Ming stood aside and whispered, "Junior brother Chen, I'm afraid this matter is not simple. Brother Yu has seen strange beasts being frightened in Thick Earth Court for many years, but he has never seen such a strange thing where several Hunting Groundss were frightened at the same time. There are three scenes on the 5th, 6th and 7th, dozens of miles apart, with different types of strange beasts, but they rush into the fence in a frenzy at the same time - this is no coincidence."
Chen Jianghe nodded.
He remembered the "Berserk Powder" in Liu Qingshui's hand that night, the collusion between Feng Yan, Song Qi and Sun-Moon Divine Cult, and the words of Hu Yi before his death, "refined into Blood Puppet".
These things are by no means isolated.
But this time, the strange beast was frightened, but there was no trace of human beings.
So why are they going crazy?
Why three games at the same time?
Chen Jianghe withdrew his gaze and looked at Shi Ming: "Senior brother Shi, this matter is of great importance and needs to be reported to Court Master. Junior brother will go back to the mountain right now."
Shi Ming nodded. "Brother Yu will be here to guard you, Junior Brother Chen, don't worry. If there is any change, I will inform you with Message Transmission Talisman."
Chen Jianghe said no more, picked up the gun and rushed towards the mountain gate.
