The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

Today's auction is a bureau, a bureau that has already been set up.

I started preparations a few days ago, and I just got the stuff from Li Qing yesterday and officially started it.

On the auction stage, an old man was giving a passionate speech, auctioning items one after another.

Zhu Yiba had no interest in the items auctioned above. They were all ordinary antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Shang Xuewen looked at his bored look and whispered.

"Today's finale is a good one."

"You must be very interested, but you have to prepare money."

Zhu Yiba rolled his eyes at him, "Oh, if you hadn't pulled me, I really wouldn't have wanted to come."

"Now that we're here, what is the treasure? You can finally tell me."

"Hehehe, I knew you couldn't wait any longer."

"That treasure is a natural Dharma material - Qingming Jade."

"The material of this jade is very strange and can be refined into a Law Weapon to protect the soul."

"It allows you to resist some mental attacks from the outside world."

"It is a relatively rare magical material. It is mainly derived from natural shapes and cannot be manufactured later."

"In this auction, the reserve price is at least ten thousand taels of silver."

"If it were in Baimen Lane, the price would not be less than a hundred curse-level essence stones."

Zhu Yiba was also surprised when he heard this.

"There is such a good thing, and no monk comes to steal it?"

Shang Xuewen rolled his eyes at him, "This is not a remote place."

"Monks are strictly prohibited from using magic to interfere with any activities of mortals. Whether it is an orthodoxy or an independent cultivator, almost no one will violate it."

"After all, we also rely on the mortal world for our existence. If we frequently interfere with spells, sooner or later the world will be in chaos."

"Only when encountering large-scale battles, in order to protect these mortals, we will use magic to intervene against them."

"Other times, you have to follow the rules."

Shang Xuewen's voice rang in Zhu Yiba's ears, and only the two of them could hear it.

Bai Shishi on the side watched the auction with a little interest, and would bid for something she liked.

Soon the bidding came to an end.

Just listen to what the host said.

"Everyone, the last auction item today is a beautiful jade from Lantian."

"This piece of jade has not been carved yet. It is a rough stone. But if it is carved into anything and placed at home, it will be a rare treasure."

After saying that, a maid came up from behind carrying a jade plate.

The jade plate was covered with a red cloth. The host gently opened the cloth, and a piece of fist-sized, pure, translucent, sky-blue jade appeared in everyone's eyes.

Everyone in the venue took a breath of cold air. They had never seen the color of this piece of beautiful jade, it was pure without any trace of color.

At this time, there were seven or eight monks in the field. They all looked at the rough stone with a hint of shock in their eyes.

Their eyesight can naturally tell that there is a strange essence locked in this piece of beautiful jade.

"It's really a rare treasure," many people said in admiration.

The host was very satisfied with everyone's expressions and said with a smile on his face.

"The bidding begins now. The base price is ten thousand taels of silver. Each increase in price must not be less than one thousand taels."

The moment the words fell, bidding sounds started to sound one after another.

"Twenty thousand taels!" A fat man who looked like a businessman said loudly.

"Twenty-five thousand taels!" Another gloomy middle-aged man in black robe said.

"Twenty-seven thousand taels!"

"Thirty thousand taels"

…

The price for chasing highs continued to rise, reaching the level of 50,000 in a short period of time.

Zhu Yiba frowned, with a trace of solemnity on his face. He didn't have many names.

Shang Xuewen next to him seemed to see his dilemma, "I still have 10,000 silver in my hand that I can lend to you."

Bai Shishi on the side said, "Brother Zhu, I also have fifteen thousand taels here."

Zhu Yiba looked at the two men and nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "Sixty thousand taels of silver!"

As his words fell, the entire place fell silent.

Sixty thousand taels of silver was beyond the limit of what most people could afford.

Everyone took a deep breath, and the place fell silent.

The host became energetic and said, waving the hammer in his hand.

"Sixty thousand taels for the first time!"

"Is there any price increase?"

Looking across the audience, most people shook their heads helplessly.

"Sixty thousand taels for the second time!"

At this moment, Wu Derui raised his hand slightly, "Seventy thousand taels!"

"Seventy thousand? This is too high!"

"That's Wu Derui, the leader of the Shuibo Boat Gang!"

"It's him, no wonder he can afford this price!"

Zhu Yiba showed a hint of helplessness on his face and looked around at Bai Shishi and Shang Xuewen, "There is nothing we can do."

His eyes fell on Wu Derui, who was not far away, and he looked at it slightly.

The host on the stage couldn't wait to shout three times in a row.

"First time in seventy thousand!"

"Seventy thousand for the second time!"

"Seventy thousand for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations, Uncle Wu, you are the final winner of Lantian Jade!"

…

The auction was over and people were leaving one after another.

After Zhu Yiba and the others left, they wandered around and came to a restaurant. This was a restaurant near a lake. The three of them planned to have a good meal.

The three of them had just sat down when there was a knock on the door outside.

Boom, boom, boom.

Zhu Yiba and the others frowned, and all looked towards the direction of the door.

Zhu Yiba's voice sounded, "Who."

"Come back to me, I'm the waiter and someone asked me to deliver something to you."

Zhu Yiba frowned slightly, "Come in."

The door opened and the waiter slowly walked in carrying a box.

He respectfully placed the things on the table of the three of them, "Sir, someone asked me to hand this box to you, saying that you will know what's going on after you see it."

Zhu Yiba's eyes showed a trace of solemnity, and he carefully looked at the red painted wooden box.

He waved to the waiter and said, "Go down!"

The waiter nodded and left.

Zhu Yiba's eyes flashed with a strange light. This light penetrated the box and saw a piece of sky blue jade.

With a slight frown on his brow, he slowly opened the box. The sky-blue jade reflected the sunlight and looked beautiful.

Bai Shishi said with some surprise, "Isn't this the beautiful jade that Wu Derui, the leader of the Shuibo Boat Gang, took a photo of just now?"

"Why did he send this thing here?"

Shang Xuewen on the side saw a red-painted invitation under the beautiful jade.

"There seems to be an invitation below."

Zhu Yiba picked up the invitation and opened it with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I am invited to Baili Restaurant tonight. The leader of the Boat Gang seems to want to entertain me."
