When the maid came in carrying the fire jade box, Liu Suifeng was still mumbling.
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Tiexin with an expression on his face that said, "Master, what on earth do you, a monk, want to buy this thing for?"
Qin Tiexin ignored him. He took out eight thousand Spirit Stone from the storage ring and put it into the Storage Bag handed over by the maid. After the maid finished counting, she leaned slightly, held up the fire jade box with both hands, and exited the private room.
The fire jade box was slightly warm in the hand. Qin Tiexin held the box in the palm of his left hand and could clearly feel the ball of Flame in the box beating restlessly under the restraints of Fire-Sealing Spirit Rune. Every time it beat, a very subtle tremor was transmitted through the jade box, like a bird in a cage.
Lin Chuan, Du Heng, and Liu Suifeng all came over. Qin Tiexin followed Su Mei's example and opened the lid of the box. A fist-sized crimson Flame jumped out of the box and was suspended in mid-air.
Looking closer, the shape of Flame is clearer than when it was off the stage. The outer flame is pure red, but the inner flame has a very light pink, like a peach blossom that has been crushed and seeped into In Lava, there is an almost invisible transparent magic circle around Flame that tightly wraps it. The Fire-Sealing Spirit Rune on the magic circle glows with a faint cyan color under the firelight.
"Interesting." Liu Suifeng put his head very close, as if he wanted to have a better look, "This Fire-Sealing Array is a bit interesting. The texture structure is the same as the basic Spirit-Trapping Array. No, it should be that the direction of the flow of spiritual power runs counterclockwise, coupled with the confinement effect, and..."
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he reached out to touch the magic circle, but was grabbed by the back of the collar by Du Heng.
"Be careful, your hair will be set on fire."
"I'll just look at the formation pattern!" Liu Suifeng struggled twice but couldn't break free, so he gave up.
Du Heng also stared at the ball of Flame for a moment, but the expression on his face did not change. For him, this kind of thing is of no use.
Xu Ying didn't come over. She sat at the back of the soft couch, took a sip from the tea cup, and looked away from the fire jade box for a moment.
As the third young lady of the Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion, she has probably seen more than one or two types of Spirit Fire Divergent Flame since she was a child, so she obviously has nothing new to say about Red Luan Heart Flame, who is not a high-ranking member of the group.
Qin Tiexin is looking at the little Flame trapped by Fire-Sealing Array. It grows big and small, moving back and forth. Every time it hits the edge of Fire-Sealing Array, it is bounced back, and then changes direction and continues to hit it, just like a sparrow locked in a transparent cage.
Liu Suifeng suddenly rubbed his chest and muttered, "Why is it a little hot?"
Lin Chuan felt the same way. He tugged on his collar and felt that the temperature in the private room seemed to have jumped up. Not only the temperature, but also an indescribable feeling of heat welling up from the depths of Dantian.
He subconsciously glanced back at Xu Ying, and Xu Ying happened to look up at him. The moment their eyes met, Lin Chuan's face suddenly turned red to the roots of his ears. As if he thought of something, he suddenly covered Divergent Flame back into the jade box, and his voice was half a beat faster than usual.
"Don't look at it, this Divergent Flame is too hot. Since Senior Brother Ming bought it, there must be a way to refine it, so let's not worry about it."
Xu Ying looked at his red face and couldn't help but chuckle.
Liu Suifeng's eyes turned between the two of them, with a meaningful smile on his lips. Du Heng frowned and looked at Lin Chuan, then looked down at himself, with real confusion in his tone.
"Is it hot? I don't feel it." He thought for a while and came to a conclusion, "Maybe your wood attribute Spirit Root is too afraid of fire."
Xu Ying turned his head sideways and his shoulders shook slightly. Liu Suifeng covered his face and turned around. The array disk fell from his hand and hit the soft couch. He was still suppressing a smile when he picked it up.
The auction came to an end around Yinshi, and the remaining spiritual beasts, two Foundation Establishment Realm battle puppets and other items did not arouse much interest among the five people.
Different from previous auctions, there were no auction items such as Cultivation Method, martial arts or secret realm information tonight. This auction was originally prepared by the Star Treasure Pavilion specifically for Secret Realm Trial, and the items sold were all things that can be used in the secret realm. Things like Cultivation Method Secret Manual that require long-term practice are not popular here.
After Su Mei announced on the stage that the auction was over, the spiritual light barrier was automatically lifted, and the noisy voices from the outside world could be heard again in the private room. Next, there was a free trading session. The monks could exchange or buy and sell items with each other in the lobby on the first floor. Lin Chuan asked everyone around, but they lost interest.
Qin Tiexin put the fire jade box into the storage ring and put it close to his body. Being able to take pictures of this group of Divergent Flame tonight is already a harvest far beyond expectations.
Several people walked out of the Star Treasure Pavilion with the things they had taken, and the night wind carried the scent of spiritual tea left in Imperial Market and rushed towards them. The Spirit Stone lampposts on the street were still on, but the flow of people was much thinner than in the evening.
Lin Wei was waiting at the door at some point. When he saw them coming out, he came over to greet them. He was holding a small cloth bag in his hand, and something was twisting around in the bag.
"What did you buy?" Lin Chuan had an ominous premonition.
"I won't tell you." Lin Wei hid the small bag behind his back.
Liu Suifeng and Du Heng said goodbye to the three of them at the fork in the road and went back to their homes. Before Liu Suifeng left, he turned back and shouted to Qin Tiexin, "Master, if Divergent Flame is successfully refined, tell me the effect." Du Heng dragged him away by the collar.
Xu Ying bowed slightly to the crowd and got into a spirit wood carriage waiting on the roadside. The carriage was engraved with the Pill Furnace emblem of the Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion. Before leaving, she said I glanced at Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan was lowering his head to arrange the new pendant on the scabbard and didn't notice it. Liu Suifeng saw this scene from a distance and clicked his tongue twice.
Qin Tiexin replied to Purple Jade Ward together with Lin Chuan and Lin Wei.
As soon as Lin Wei entered the house, she slipped back into her yard. The little cloth bag was held in her arms, with a small fluffy red tail tip exposed from the mouth of the bag. Lin Chuan saw this, shook her head helplessly, and separated from Qin Tiexin at the end of the corridor.
It was already the end of the Yin period when we returned to the small courtyard, and a faint line of blue gray appeared on the horizon. Qin Tiexin opened the courtyard door, and Ming'an was still asleep. Through the dim light coming from the window, you could see him curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped tightly in quilt, with a trace of drool hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Qin Tiexin gently placed the old nanmu fish on the head of his bed, and placed the mallet next to it. Ming'an turned over, muttered something vaguely, and fell asleep again.
Qin Tiexin exited the wing, gently closed the door, handed the three Buddhist scriptures Jade Slip to Lin Residence's housekeeper, and asked him to help Jade Slip Copy it on paper to Ming'an. Ming'an has not practiced yet and cannot read Jade Slip yet. The housekeeper accepted it gladly. He liked this polite little monk very much.
After doing all this, he carried the iron rod, walked through the quiet backyard stone path in the morning mist, and once again stepped into the secret practice room of Lin Household.
