"Xi'er, Senior Gu saved our lives. A few Dragon Burial Roots are nothing. If I hadn't found Life-Extending Spiritual Grasss for you, I would have given all my treasures to him."
"But."
Mu Xi's voice weakened.
"That's why you got hurt because I wanted to go out to play."
"Silly girl."
Mu Feng's voice softened.
"It's only natural for a brother to protect his sister. Besides, if it weren't for this danger, we wouldn't have met such an expert as Senior Gu."
Gu Sheng heard this, with a strange look in his eyes.
He did hide his cultivation. On the surface, he looked like an ordinary monk. Unexpectedly, Mu Feng could detect the clues.
In the next room, Mu Xi was leaning on the bed, his face pale.
She looked at her brother who was adjusting his breath, her eyes filled with self-blame.
"Brother, your injury"
"No problem."
Mu Feng waved his hands and showed a relieved smile.
"Your brother and I are a Body Cultivator master. This injury is nothing."
As he spoke, he patted his strong chest, but couldn't help coughing twice.
Mu Xi quickly handed over the water bag with tears in his eyes.
"He said it's okay! It's all my fault. If I hadn't gone to see some 'Rosy Cloud Waterfall', I wouldn't have met Iron Back Azure Wolf."
Mu Feng took the water bag and stroked the top of her sister's hair.
"Xi'er, don't blame yourself. The first priority is to recover from your injuries. The auction will start in two days. We must find Life-Extending Spiritual Grass."
When Life-Extending Spiritual Grass was mentioned, Mu Xi's eyes darkened.
She had been frail since childhood, and the tribe's witch doctor concluded that she would not live past the age of twenty. Now she is seventeen, if Life-Extending Spiritual Grass can't be found again
"Brother, if you can't find the spiritual grass"
Mu Xi's voice trembled slightly.
"I'll definitely find it!"
Mu Feng interrupted her decisively.
"Deacons from Zixia Holy Land will participate in this auction, and there will definitely be rare elixirs."
There was determination in his eyes.
"I have already missed the Holy Land selection for the under-30s. I must get a spot for this under-50s competition!"
Mu Xi looked at his brother's resolute profile, feeling moved and sad at the same time.
She knew that her brother shouldered the hope of the entire tribe - Mu Feng was the most outstanding genius of the tribe in a hundred years.
The clan leader and elders poured all their resources into him, hoping that he would stand out in the selection of Zixia Holy Land and win better training resources and status for the tribe.
In the room, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged, surrounded by a faint golden halo.
Yang Dao Cultivation Method was running inside his body, and every Dao Scripture pulse was scorching hot but contained infinite power.
"The third level of Yang Dao is really not that easy to break through."
Gu Sheng sighed secretly in his heart, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.
He deliberately suppressed his breath to prevent the energy fluctuations during cultivation from leaking out.
After all, there are many monks living in this inn. If someone discovers that he is practicing such a domineering technique, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Just as he was concentrating on guiding the True Essence in his body, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
"Young Master Qin, what do you think of this room? The location is the best, with a wide view!"
came a flattering voice.
"Okay, okay, this is it! Waiter, open the door!"
Another haughty voice ordered.
This was followed by a sound of kicking at the door and unbridled laughter.
Gu Sheng frowned slightly, he was most afraid of being disturbed while practicing, not to mention that he was at a critical stage at the moment.
True Essence was confused due to distraction, rushing through his meridians, causing a dull pain in his chest.
"Bang!"
There was another loud noise, and the door of the next room was kicked open.
"Hahaha, Young Master Qin is mighty!"
"Keep your voices down, I heard there are several monks living on this floor."
"What are you afraid of? My father is Tribulation Crossing stage a strong man, who Luoyun City dares not to give me face?"
The voice called Young Master Qin was even more arrogant.
Gu Sheng slowly finished. The golden halo gradually dissipated, and he opened his eyes with a cold look in them.
"It seems that if we don't teach these idiots a lesson, we won't be able to continue practicing today."
He stood up and pushed the door open, only to see five or six young people in luxurious clothes standing in the corridor. The leader was a young man with an arrogant face, who was directing his men to kick open the doors of guest rooms.
"Have you argued enough?"
Gu Sheng The sound is not loud, but it reaches everyone's ears clearly.
The group of people were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Hey, isn't there someone out there trying to be a hero?"
Young Master Qin looked Gu Sheng up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing ordinary clothes, his eyes became even more contemptuous.
"Boy, do you know who I am? If you know the truth, go back to your room and stop meddling!"
Gu Sheng had no expression on his face.
"I don't care who you are, leave this floor immediately, otherwise"
"What else?"
Young Master Qin took a step forward provocatively.
"Do you still dare to take action?"
Gu Sheng stopped talking nonsense, raised his right hand slightly, and an invisible force instantly knocked Young Master Qin away and hit the wall hard.
"Young Master Qin!"
Several followers exclaimed, and then fiercely pounced on Gu Sheng.
"Seeking death!"
Gu Sheng snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and a majestic True Essence surged out, knocking all the people to the ground.
Young Master Qin struggled to get up, his face turned pale.
"You are Golden Core cultivator?"
Gu Sheng did not answer, but raised his hand to form a seal, and several rays of golden light shot out from his fingertips, turning into ropes to tie several people tightly.
"Since you like to make noise, just stay quiet."
Gu Sheng waved his hand, dragged several people into his room, and threw them in the corner.
"Do you know who my father is?"
Young Master Qin Although he was restrained, he still refused to give in.
"He is Tribulation Crossing stage strong! If you dare to do this to me, he will not let you go!"
Gu Sheng glanced at him.
"It's precisely because I know who your father is that I didn't kill him. But..."
His eyes turned cold.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't mind destroying your cultivation first."
Young Master Qin suddenly fell silent, with fear in his eyes.
He can be domineering in Luoyun City all because of his father's reputation. If his cultivation is really abolished.
Seeing that several people were honest, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged again and continued practicing. But this time he was more careful, not only hiding his aura, but also using his spiritual consciousness to monitor Young Master Qin and others.
"How dare this Gu Sheng. dare to humiliate me like this!"
Young Master Qin lowered his head, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"When dad comes, we must make sure he wants to live but not die!"
But on the surface, he did not dare to show any hostility.
One day and one night passed, Gu Sheng finally quit the cultivation state. There is still no breakthrough in the third level of Yang Dao, but True Essence is more condensed than before.
He stood up and stretched his muscles, looking at the sleeping people in the corner.
"You're lucky."
Gu Sheng whispered to himself. If Young Master Qin's father had not been concerned about his strength, given his character, he would never have let these dudes off so easily.
He pushed the door open and happened to see the backs of brother and sister Mu Feng and Mu Xi leaving the inn in a hurry.
"It's so early, where are they going?"
Gu Sheng Think about it for a moment.
"Is it possible that we are also going to the auction?"
But then I thought about it, with the Mu Feng brother and sister's net worth, I'm afraid they can't even afford the admission fee to the auction. The most they can do is go and broaden their horizons.
Shaking his head, Gu Sheng walked to Ling Xiao's room and knocked on the door gently.
"Ling Xiao, it's time to go."
After a while, the door opened and Ling Xiao walked out with a tired look on his face.
"So early? The auction doesn't happen until noon."
Before he finished speaking, he saw several people tied up in Gu Sheng's room, and his eyes widened immediately.
"This is...?"
"A few blind dudes are disturbing my practice."
Gu Sheng said it lightly.
Ling Xiao walked into the room, and after seeing Young Master Qin's face clearly, his expression changed slightly.
"Isn't this the second generation ancestor of the Qin Family? Give him to him"
"It's just temporarily detained."
Gu Sheng interrupted him.
"His father is Tribulation Crossing stage, there is no need to have a deadly feud."
Ling Xiao was amazed.
"If you ask me, you started too lightly.
This kind of dandy should be taught a lesson. "
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"This is Luoyun City, his father's territory. We are here for the auction, so we don't want to cause any complications."
"Same."
Ling Xiao shrugged and then asked curiously.
"How is your practice going? Is there any progress in Yang Dao?"
Gu Sheng sighed.
"The progress is slow. Yang Dao Cultivation Method is very domineering, and each breakthrough requires a lot of accumulation."
Ling Xiao heard the words, with an imperceptible relaxation in his eyes.
"Take your time, don't rush. Let's go and see this Sky Cloud Pavilion auction."
The two left the inn and walked towards the Sky Cloud Pavilion in the center of the city. Luoyun City is already bustling in the early morning. Shops on both sides of the street are opening one after another, and there are more and more pedestrians.
"Speaking of which, have you noticed brother and sister Mu Feng?"
Gu Sheng asked suddenly.
Ling Xiao nodded.
"I saw them, they went to the center of the city. Why, you doubted them."
"I just think it's a bit of a coincidence."
Gu Sheng said lightly.
"But they probably don't have anything valuable on them. They probably went to the auction just to watch the excitement."
Ling Xiao smiled.
"Maybe someone will have some adventure? Cultivation World The most important thing is opportunity."
Gu Sheng was noncommittal and asked instead.
"What do you know about this auction?"
"I heard there are some good magic weapons and elixirs."
Ling Xiao said enthusiastically.
"Especially the finale piece. It is said that it was unearthed from ancient ruins. Even Sky Cloud Pavilion's treasure appraiser can't tell the origin."
Gu Sheng nodded without saying much.
He was not too interested in these, after all, he had seen real treasures in Tianlan Holy Land's treasure house.
But for the sake of the possible item, he decided to take a trip.
"Two Earth-tier Spirit Sword are enough to qualify."
At the door of the Sky Cloud Pavilion, an old man with white hair and beard took the long sword handed over by Ling Xiao. He flicked the sword with his fingertips, and the crisp sound of the sword echoed in the air.
The old man nodded slightly and handed a jade plaque with the word "" engraved on it to Ling Xiao.
"Fifth floor?"
Ling Xiao took the jade token and frowned slightly.
"So are we anyway."
Gu Sheng gently pulled Ling Xiao's sleeve, interrupting his words.
"The fifth floor is just right, with a wide view."
Ling Xiao curled his lips, but followed Gu Sheng into the Sky Cloud Pavilion. As soon as they stepped into the door, the rich spiritual energy hit their faces, lifting their spirits.
The interior of the Sky Cloud Pavilion is a ring-shaped structure, divided into five floors. The space becomes smaller as you go up, but the view is better.
In the center of the lowest level is a circular auction table, surrounded by layers of seats.
"The fifth floor is on the east side."
A maid respectfully led them through the crowd.
Gu Sheng glanced around the pavilion, observing the surroundings calmly.
The interior decoration of the Sky Cloud Pavilion is luxurious but not tacky. The walls are inlaid with luminous pearls that can automatically emit light.
Each floor is connected by suspended jade steps. From time to time, cultivators step up and down the jade steps.
"It's a pity. If we could go up to the third floor, we might be able to see the auction items more clearly."
Ling Xiao lowered his voice with regret in his tone.
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"The third floor is too conspicuous. The fifth floor is just right. You can see the whole place clearly without attracting attention."
The two of them were guided by the maid to the east side of the fifth floor.
The seats here are arranged in a semicircle, and there is a small table in front of each seat with spiritual tea and spiritual fruits placed on it.
Gu Sheng chose to sit next to the side. From this angle, he could clearly see the auction table and most of the seats.
"You're always so cautious."
Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly, but still sat down.
Gu Sheng did not answer. His eyes were attracted by a brother and sister who had just entered Sky Cloud Pavilion.
The man is tall, has dark skin, and is wearing clothing made of animal skins. The woman is much thinner and pale, and needs help from the man when walking.
"Are they from primitive tribes?"
Ling Xiao followed Gu Sheng's line of sight and said in surprise.
"How did they get in?"
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes.
"Those who can enter Sky Cloud Pavilion must have strength or treasures.
There must be something on them. "
The brother and sister were placed in the corner of the fifth floor, almost separated from Gu Sheng by the entire circular hall.
The woman started coughing after sitting down. The man quickly took out a vial from his arms and poured out a pill for her to take.
"Interesting."
Gu Sheng whispered to himself, quietly released his thoughts, and extended them in the direction of the brother and sister.
Thoughts pass through the noisy crowd and convey the distant conversations back clearly.
"Brother, can you really find Life-Extending Spiritual Grass this time?"
The woman's voice was weak and filled with hope.
"Mu Xi, don't worry."
The man comforted softly.
"Even if it doesn't happen this time, we will go to the Immortal Descent Realm to find it. I promised you that I will definitely cure your disease."
"But Immortal Descent Realm is too dangerous"
Mu Xi's voice trembled.
"I don't want you to take risks for me."
Mu Feng held her sister's hand.
"Silly girl, you are my only relative. Even if it takes my life, I will let you live."
Gu Sheng's mind trembled slightly, this conversation reminded him of his sister.
After the accident three years ago, he had never seen his sister again, and he didn't know how she was doing now.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Xiao noticed that Gu Sheng looked different.
Gu Sheng took back his thoughts and asked after pondering for a moment.
"Have you heard of Life-Extending Spiritual Grass?"
"Life-Extending Spiritual Grass?"
Ling Xiao frowned and thought.
"Never heard of it. Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"The brother and sister were talking about this just now."
Gu Sheng pointed to the far corner.
"It seems to be some kind of life-saving elixir."
Ling Xiao looked in the direction and shook his head.
"Primitive tribes always have some strange legends. But since you can enter Sky Cloud Pavilion, the spiritual grass they talked about might actually appear."
Gu Sheng nodded and looked across the audience again. At this time, Sky Cloud Pavilion was already 70% full, with the fourth and fifth floors almost full, and people starting to take seats on the third floor.
