Ascension Through Generations

Fast forward two months later.

Summer is here, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.

However, Qianlong Pavilion is always cool as spring and the temperature is pleasant.

At this time, in a garden of the mansion, a group of warblers and swallows surrounded the eldest lady Chen Ying, looking at the child in her arms with envy.

"Sister, look at this child, who is fair and tender, and looks really good-looking. Zhi'er will be as gorgeous as her sister when she grows up."

The woman who spoke was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was one of the four concubines, Chen Ling'er.

After Chen Ying gave birth to her child, her figure became slightly plumper and more beautiful.

She pretended to sigh: "Oh, it's a pity that she is a daughter, not a son!"

As soon as these words came out, the other wives and concubines immediately felt sour, and the evil ones even cursed in their hearts.

There was a trace of sadness on Chen Shuang'er's face, and she said with a wry smile: "Sister, please don't say it's a joke. My sisters and I also want a child, but unfortunately our stomachs are not up to par and we can't get pregnant!"

"By the way, where is my husband now? I haven't seen him in the past half month. In which courtyard has he stayed recently?"

Chen Qi'er, dressed in a bright red palace dress, looked stunning, but there was also a hint of resentment in her words.

"I don't know!"

"My husband hasn't been to our Huixin Hospital for ten days."

"Huh, I'm not here anyway!"

When this sensitive topic was brought up, all the girls began to deny it.

In the end, it was Chen Ying who made the final decision and said calmly: "Sisters, there is no need to argue. My husband has been practicing in seclusion since Zhi'er's Full Moon Banquet, and he has not left seclusion until now!"

When the girls heard this, they suddenly lost interest in talking.

At this time, in a training room in Qianlong Pavilion, bright stones embedded in the wall illuminated the stone room as bright as day.

Zhao Shengjing stood in front of a jade table, holding a spiritual weapon talisman pen in his right hand, hanging in the air, and the tip of the pen was spitting out wisps of cloud-white lightning.

On the jade table, there is a piece of second-level thunder frog skin that has been cut out. It is eight inches long and three inches wide. The surface is white and smooth, but countless fine thunder patterns are vaguely visible.

The next second, Zhao Sheng gently waved the talisman pen, and his words were flowing smoothly.

As the pen moved, lines of luminous runes continued to flow out from the tip of the pen, gradually building up a complex, curved, and sparkling light rune.

In Zhao Sheng's writing, the extremely difficult second-level lightning escape talisman was completed in one go!

However, when the thunder talisman was completed, Zhao Sheng did not stop writing. Instead, he started painting again from the beginning to the end, with the same smooth flow, completed in one go!

Two stacks,

Three stacks,

It wasn't until the twelfth stack was completed that Zhao Sheng slowly picked up the pen and stopped.

At this moment, the original light symbols were layered one after another, and the edges were shrouded in circles of white light, emitting a soft and cold brilliance. It looked like a "bright pearl" suspended in the air.

At this moment, there is still one final step before the true fulfillment.

Zhao Sheng pinched out the thunder seal with both hands, a flash of light flashed between his eyebrows, and he shouted in a low voice: "The talisman will scare ghosts and gods, return to the aperture and seal it. Fall!"

In an instant, the "Pearl" fell down and disappeared into the skin of the Thunder Frog, turning into a complicated and irregular talisman pattern.

Zhao Sheng raised the pen again, pouring the thunder power from the clouds into the tip of the pen, and drew several orifice-sealing runes on the four corners of the talisman to seal the thunder-escape runes.

It was only then that this Twelve Layers of Thunder Escape Talisman was completed!

Zhao Sheng picked up his pen and smiled with satisfaction, feeling that his Talisman skills had recovered by 50%.

He quickly put away the Thunder Escape Talisman and unfolded a new Thunder Frog Skin.

After adjusting his breath for a while, he started to draw the second thunder escape talisman.

As the sun rises and sets, time passes slowly!

Seven days later, Zhao Sheng sat cross-legged on the futon, with torrential roars coming from his body, and his body was covered with a thick layer of blood.

The blood was as rich as water, but there was no trace of evil intent. Instead, it exuded a faint holy aura.

After a long time, the blood light gradually shrank into Zhao Sheng's body, and the roar slowly faded away.

It took him three days to successfully master a forbidden spell called "Blood Burning Marrow Technique".

This technique comes from the "Blood Soul Sutra". Although it costs a lot to cast, it is very easy to use and its power is astonishing. It can be compared with the "White Sword of Bones".

The reason why he practices such forbidden techniques is because he has the talent of flesh and blood rebirth.

Ordinary people will use it a few times and their blood will be exhausted, but Zhao Sheng can use it as a normal method.

This method is simply a God-given spell, and it is perfect for him.

An hour later, Zhao Shengyun Gong recovered the consumed spiritual power, and then counted the treasures in the Xumi space.

Then, he changed into a Taoist robe, and used Qigong to change his appearance and figure.

After doing this, he stood up and suddenly disappeared from where he was.

…

Eight thousand miles southwest of the Cunning Leopard Chen family's territory is a hilly area that stretches for thousands of miles.

In the center of this hilly area, there grows a large sacred tree that is nearly 20,000 years old.

The Return City was built on the waist of this sacred tree, and it was also a huge hanging city. Compared with the Chen family's, this city is a little more grand in architectural style, but a little less refined.

There are many high-rise buildings in the city, and various shops can be seen everywhere. Each city is clearly divided and has different functions.

However, the large area surrounding the tree trunk is called the inner city.

A series of beautiful spiritual palaces and large gardens have been specially built here, and hundreds of spiritual caves are scattered deep in the forest gardens. There are private caves and some waiting to be rented.

Guilai City is the core and most prosperous city of "Sitting Tiger" Gui Lai, with a population of more than one million year-round.

Compared with the closeness of its neighbors, the style of Gui Lai City is undoubtedly open and inclusive. Gui Lai City welcomes all cultivators to settle in this city, or come here for shopping and enjoyment.

Therefore, Return City can be said to be one of the most prosperous immortal cultivation cities in the southwest region of Shenzhou.

On this day, one after another, extraordinary imposing immortal cultivators, either riding beasts and weapons, or simply escaping from the light, landed in front of a large palace building in the northeast of the inner city.

They quickly walked into the building openly.

However, for the few distinguished guests who came with invitations in hand, someone came forward to receive them and then invited them in respectfully.

…

As early as yesterday, Zhao Sheng had arrived at this famous Return Fairy City in the southwest.

On the day when the auction started, he disguised himself as an old man with a white face and no beard, and walked slowly toward the venue along a busy street in the inner city.

The street is very spacious, enough for five crane speeding cars to run side by side. On both sides are shops opened by major cultivating families, with a large flow of people.

He had never been to Huihui City before, and now after looking carefully, he saw the prosperity of the famous southwestern city.

This city is indeed a famous trading city. The prosperity of the street in front of you alone is inferior to several streets in the Chen Family Hanging City.

Compared to the "cold" home, Hui Lai City is really "lively" and very popular.

After walking for about an hour, a large palace building slowly came into view.

This palace covers an area of ​​more than 100 acres. The gate is large and wide, and it is divided into five floors. The exterior has high eaves and carved jade railings, making it look extremely luxurious.

There is a huge plaque hanging in front of the palace door - Rugui Tower!

These three big characters are actually inlaid with top-quality spiritual stones. The writing is like a coiled dragon and dancing phoenix, majestic and majestic.

Zhao Sheng looked at the plaque with a strange look in his eyes.

Later, he stopped at the door, took out a transmission talisman, entered a few words into it, and then waited quietly.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in rich clothes hurriedly walked out of the building. When he saw Zhao Sheng not far away, he was overjoyed and hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"The real Dharma Master is here. Zongzheng is a little disappointed in welcoming me from afar. I'm sorry for Wanwang!" Gui Zongzheng bowed his head and said respectfully.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand: "It doesn't matter! I took the time to come. I hope this auction will not disappoint me."

Gui Zongzheng smiled confidently: "Junior, I can guarantee that this auction will definitely satisfy the real person. Please come in!"

After saying that, Gui Zongzheng turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, and then followed Gui Zongzheng into Rugui Tower.

Under the leadership of Gui Zongzheng, Zhao Sheng successfully climbed to the third floor and walked into a private box with excellent privacy.

Zhao Sheng strolled to the innermost part, and through the transparent crystal window, a large circular venue appeared in front of him.

The venue covers an area of ​​dozens of acres and is distributed in a staircase shape. There are nearly a hundred jade cases on each floor. The further down you go, the fewer the jade cases are and the farther apart they are.

In the middle of the venue is a circular high platform. Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire venue.

At this time, a temporary auction was going on here, which was considered a warm-up before the start.

There were probably more than a hundred people sitting in the venue, scattered on the stairs on each floor, and the sound of bidding could be heard from time to time.

"Master, this is the main auction hall of Rugui Building. It is not open to the public at ordinary times. It will only be opened during special periods, such as this once-in-ten-year auction event." Guizong explained.

Zhao Sheng nodded, glanced around the venue a few times, and then quickly looked back.

At this time, Gui Zongzheng saw that he was not interested, so he quickly said: "Of course, the venue of the high-end auction is not here, but on the fourth floor."

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he said calmly: "Take me up now to have a look!"

Gui Zongzheng agreed and immediately took him out of the box and walked towards the higher level.

The auction venue on the fourth floor is a very spacious and huge hall.

At a glance, the decoration here is more elegant and luxurious. The low tables placed inside are all carved from a whole piece of chun wood, and the futon below is also woven with very rare thousand-year-old silk.

On each low table, there are not only several plates of spiritual fruits, but also a pot of spiritual tea and teacups.

In addition, there is an apricot-yellow jade slip placed in the corner of the table.

At this time, there were only a dozen or so people sitting in the hall, but each of them had an extraordinary bearing and high spirits, and each of them exuded a faint sense of coercion. It was clear that they were all Jindan Masters.

Guizong stopped at the door and whispered: "Master, I can only send it here. You can go in first!"

Zhao Sheng hummed and walked in.

As soon as Fang stepped through the door, he immediately attracted the attention of the real people present, so eyes with different meanings fell on him instantly.

Waves of inexplicable pressure also followed.

Zhao Sheng was used to seeing big scenes. He didn't care about the probing of a bunch of Jindan juniors. He simply ignored them and walked to an empty low case easily and sat down.

First, he poured a cup of tea leisurely, then picked up the jade slip and looked at it with his spiritual consciousness.

As expected, the jade slips indeed recorded the list of treasures for this auction. Not only here, but also the treasures from the auction meeting on the third floor were recorded one by one.

When he saw one of the treasures, Zhao Sheng's eyes flashed, and he secretly said: "Immortal-devouring silkworm eggs?!"

At this moment, he was determined to capture it. It won’t work for anyone!

Soon, Zhao Sheng discovered seven or eight more treasures that made him excited. If the situation allowed, he would take pictures as much as possible.

Time passed slowly while waiting.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Sheng poured himself a cup and drank half the pot of spiritual tea.

At this time, most of the short tables in the hall already had their owners, and there were actually more than fifty people present, Jin Dan Zhenren.

Among these people, Zhao Sheng also saw Chen Daxian and Chen Dalong, two elders of the Chen family's Jindan clan.

After a while, a clear bell suddenly spread throughout the hall, and the real people sitting there suddenly became calm and stopped talking.

At this moment, a ray of fire suddenly flew in from outside the door and fell on the innermost platform.

The fire light dissipated, revealing a tall old man with red hair and a beard, and his face was red.

This person is none other than Gui Menglai, the ancestor of Guijia Yuanying, who is honored as "Ancestor of Heavenly Fire" by the immortal world.

Ancestor Tianhuo looked around, laughed, and said in a voice like a bell: "On behalf of me, I have returned home and welcome all fellow Jindan Taoists to participate in this auction. Without further ado, the auction will begin now."

After speaking, the man clapped his hands.

As soon as the applause started, a group of beauties came out from behind the scenes, holding jade plates in their hands, and walked onto the stage gracefully.

On the jade plates, there are all the same shining treasures.

Ancestor Tianhuo introduced: "The ten treasures in front of you are all described in detail in the jade slips. I don't need to waste any more words. After you have identified the authenticity, we will officially start the bidding."

It has to be said that Patriarch Tianhuo's straightforward and refreshing energy is undoubtedly what Zhao Sheng likes.

At other auctions, everyone is showing off and wishing they could praise the treasures auctioned to the sky.

On the other hand, Patriarch Tianhuo didn't even bother to introduce him.

After waiting for a while, the ancestor of Tianhuo continued to speak: "The first thing is, the low-grade magic weapon Zigui Sword Pill, the starting price is ten high-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than one high-grade spiritual stone, let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Jindan immediately shouted: "Twenty high-grade spiritual stones!"

"Twenty-one dollars!"

"Twenty-two dollars!"

There were voices in the hall, and the price was quickly pushed to more than 30 high-grade spiritual stones.

It can be seen from here that the spiritual stone resources in Dachun Realm are much richer than those in Tianzhu Realm. Jin Danzhen's net worth is even richer.

But it can also be seen that the price of magic weapons in the Dachun Realm has greatly "depreciated" compared to the Tianzhu Realm, because any low-grade magic weapon in the Tianzhu Realm can easily cost one million.

After a while, Zigui Sword Pill was photographed by a skinny old man with thirty-four high-grade spiritual stones.

"The second piece, the Thousand Spirits and Hundreds of Birds Net, is a low-grade magic weapon. The starting price is twelve high-grade spiritual stones. The bidding begins."

"Twenty-five high-grade spiritual stones!"

"Twenty-six dollars!"

…

The auction is proceeding in an orderly manner, and each treasure is aroused by a crowd of Jindan real people to grab it. The final auction price often rises several times or even more than ten times the price.

It can be seen that all auction treasures are rare treasures carefully selected by Guijia.
