Benhong rolled up the stall cloth, put the old prayer beads into his sleeves, and walked through the crowd of people Imperial Market with his back bent. His steps were not fast, no different from those of the elderly Rogue Cultivator who were closing up the stalls and scattering around him, but every step landed in the center of the sapphire brick, impartially.

It was half an hour after we returned to Xiao Residence's backyard. Benhong closed the door, sat down cross-legged on the futon, and took out a dark gold communication jade talisman from the storage Law Artifact. The surface was engraved with Brahma Sound Valley's unique patterns, which was used to contact several Brahma Sound Valley secrets placed in Star Selection.

Benhong injected spiritual power into the jade talisman. After a moment, a very subtle Spirit Rune wave spread out from the Xiao Residence backyard, passed through the layers of Purple Jade Ward's restrictions, and disappeared into the Ten Thousand Stars City night.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the jade talisman lit up, and there was a faint sound coming from the jade talisman.

"Benhong Master, what are your instructions?"

Benhong opened his mouth and his voice was very low.

"In Secret Realm Trial, in addition to completing the mission of the abbot, we also focus on a one-armed monk named Mingjue. The mission is to reveal his trump card, see clearly his martial arts methods, and write down all fluctuations in Buddhist martial arts." He paused, and paused for a moment while twirling the beads. "If he encounters fatal danger, you can rescue him. This person must come out of the secret realm alive."

Yufu was silent for a moment, and then a deep voice came out. "Why is this? Who is this person?"

Benhong twisted the beads. "Just do as you are told. This person may be related to my Brahma Sound Valley's grand plan."

The other end of the jade talisman was silent for a moment, and finally said "I understand". After a moment, the light on the jade talisman went out.

Benhong put the jade talisman back into storage Law Artifact, sat on the futon, closed his eyes and adjusted his breath. The night outside the window was getting darker, and in the distance there was a faint sound of the bell ringing in the direction of Imperial Market that the auction was about to start. He opened his eyes and twisted the beads in his hand one by one.

His plan is simple. Three Jade Slip have been delivered to Mingjue. So far, he has personally confirmed that his "Dragon Elephant Golden Body Instruction" has been purchased. If Secret Realm Trial If those hidden men can force out "Karma-Burning Wisdom King Flame", that is, the Golden Core Realm Buddhist martial arts disguised as "Vajra Flame", he can confirm that this person is indeed Innate Buddha Heart.

Once confirmed, the next step is how to convert this person into Brahma Sound Valley.

It is too risky to take action in Ten Thousand Stars City, and Lin Boyuan is not someone to be trifled with. But if this person can break into the top ten in Star Selection, leaving the imperial city after the imperial examination and heading to the local office will be the best opportunity. Take it step by step, and arrange the observation tasks of Secret Realm Trial properly first.

Imperial Market center, Star Treasure Pavilion.

In the evening, Lin Chuan led Qin Tiexin, Du Heng, Liu Suifeng and Xu Ying through the Imperial Market main street and walked towards the tallest and most conspicuous building in the entire Imperial Market.

Star Treasure Pavilion is a seven-story spiritual wood pavilion. The entire outer wall of the pavilion is embedded with spiritual light arrays. In the night, each floor is flowing with light of different colors. The bottom layer is dark blue, and gradually transitions to light gold on the top layer. From a distance, it looks like a pagoda wrapped in starlight.

There was a long queue at the door, and the monks participating in the auction checked their identities one by one at the entrance.

Qin Tiexin glanced at the crowd in the queue. They were basically Star Selection participating monks who had passed the first two levels. Foundation Establishment Realm accounted for the vast majority. Occasionally, you could see a few Qi and Blood Realm's physical training. There are also many monks wearing Aristocratic Clan brocade robes and sect uniforms, standing in twos and threes outside the team talking. The quality of Law Artifact hanging around their waists is obviously one level higher than Rogue Cultivator.

Lin Wei separated from them while queuing up, saying that he was going to find someone from his team.

After entering, Qin Tiexin discovered that there was no hall in this pavilion. The entire building was circular inside, with a hollow in the center that led directly to the seventh floor, and the auction stage in the middle of the first floor. From the second floor upward, each floor was a circle of independent private rooms. The side of the private room facing the auction stage was a transparent aura barrier. The auction stage could be clearly seen from the inside, but the people and objects in the private room could not be seen from the outside.

A maid led the five people up to the third floor and pushed open the door of the innermost room in the corridor.

The private room is not large but is extremely delicately decorated. There is a row of soft couches by the window. In front of the couch is a long rosewood table, with a jade teapot and five matching tea cups placed on the table. In the innermost corner of the room stands a half-person-high magic array platform, with a bidding button and a spiritual light array disk for entering prices embedded on the table.

The Spiritual Qi inside the private room is a bit richer than outside. There is a very light concentration aroma floating in the air, which makes people feel at ease.

Liu Suifeng sat down on the left side of the soft couch, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup, and then poured a cup for Du Heng. Du Heng sat on him Next to him, he untied his broad sword and leaned on the armrest of the soft couch, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Xu Ying sat next to Lin Chuan, and poured tea for him in advance as usual, with the tea cup placed on his right side.

Qin Tiexin sat down on the right side and leaned the iron bar against the wall.

Looking down through the aura barrier, the auction table on the first floor seems to be right in front of us, and even the lines of Spirit Rune on the table can be clearly seen.

He lowered his head and glanced at the storage ring on his chest, and silently considered Spirit Stone in his mind. After Chen Xi counted True Person Xueying's storage Law Artifact, all the things that suited him were stuffed into the ring, and Spirit Stone also kept it. Quite a bit. But recently I spent some money on the elixirs and some on my cultivation. Especially that time Foundation Establishment really cost a lot Spirit Stone. After deducting the 10,000 Spirit Stone for the transmission fee back to Azure Xuan Region, I only had a little over 15,000 left on hand.

There may be places where you need to use Spirit Stone later, so you have to save it tonight and only buy what you need.

At 1 o'clock in the morning, the spiritual light barrier in the private room lit up slightly, and the noisy voices from the outside world were completely isolated. The light in the center of the first floor was completely dimmed, leaving only a beam of spiritual light shining on the table.

A woman came out from behind the curtain on the side of the stage.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties, wearing a long white gauze skirt that fit her curves, with a hem that trailed to the floor, and a silver chain as thin as hair tied around her waist. She had a very good face, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and her steps were not fast, but each step carried a strange rhythm.

Qin Tiexin noticed that she was wearing cool clothes, and the ravine on her chest was looming, rising and falling with her steps.

"Fellow Daoists, the little girl Su Mei, I will host tonight's auction."

She stood in the center of the auction table, her voice was soft but not flattering, with a natural soft and waxy ending, but every word was clearly Penetration aura barrier sent to every private room.

"Tonight's auction includes a total of sixty-seven items in five categories. The rules are very simple: after the starting price of each item is announced, everyone presses the bidding button and enters the price. If no one increases the price within ten seconds, it will belong to the last bidder. There is no limit to the increase."

After she finished speaking, she leaned around slightly. Qin Tiexin was in the private room, but she felt that this woman seemed to be smiling in her direction.

Su Mei's cultivation level is no more than Foundation Establishment Middle Stage's. There is a certain kind of tempered charm in his eyes. He glanced at him as if he was an old friend. Qin Tiexin's face remained unchanged as he picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Du Heng next to Liu Suifeng coughed lightly and moved his gaze to the ceiling.
