Chapter 650 Auction

After going to Shushan, Yan Da's attitude changed greatly. He no longer opposed entering Shushan, but instead agreed.

He and Yan Siyi agreed, which meant that everyone agreed. This time, Gu Zheng did not go out. An elder secretly brought Yan Qi and the others back. The seven brothers of the Yan family settled down in Shushan. Shushan treated them well and did not say anything to ask them to join Shushan. They just asked them to stay in Shushan and practice with peace of mind.

According to the previous plan, the seven brothers were sent to the Supreme Elder by Gu Zheng. The place where the Supreme Elder was was the best place in Shushan. The seven brothers did not object. After returning to Shushan, they also closed their doors collectively to digest some of the good things that Gu Zheng had given them before.

They were too anxious on the road before, and they did not digest them properly at all.

The fact that Gu Zheng had returned could not be concealed all the time. Three months later, Shushan reported to the Heavenly Court that Gu Zheng had returned to Shushan. He escaped and came back by himself.

For this reason, the Heavenly Court specially sent people to inquire, but Gu Zheng had a very high seniority in Shushan. Although the person sent was also a Golden Immortal, he still put a lot of pressure on Gu Zheng in Shushan. After careful inquiry, he hurried back.

When he asked, Ziyun Zhenren and the seven Golden Immortal Elders of Shushan were watching him covetously. Before, they called him "Uncle Master". It was okay for Ziyun Zhenren, but those elders were not very polite to this person from the Heavenly Court.

However, Shushan also had the capital to be impolite. This incident was caused by the mistakes of the Heavenly Court. They had been monitoring the desert. They were unaware of the appearance of so many Golden Immortal beasts, so that Gu Zheng was abducted. The Heavenly Court could not escape this responsibility.

If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Court had just caught the demon who made trouble in Shushan, these elders would have said some sarcastic words.

Gu Zheng was not an ordinary disciple. After hearing the news about the Seven Evil Beasts from Gu Zheng, the Heavenly Court sent people to investigate. Gu Zheng told them that the Seven Evil Beasts took him to Xiniu Hezhou and visited many places.

The Heavenly Court did not doubt this news. There were many monsters in Xiniu Hezhou, so it was normal for them to go there.

The places Gu Zheng mentioned had traces left by the Seven Evil Beasts. Gu Zheng left them deliberately to mislead the Heavenly Court. He had guessed that the Heavenly Court would definitely ask him after he came back, so he made preparations in advance.

These traces could not mislead for too long, but there would be no problem for a few hundred years. The prehistoric world was too big, and it might not be found even in a few thousand years, let alone a few hundred years.

In addition to the Heavenly Court, Shushan also told the Twelve Immortal Kitchen Sects about this news, and prepared a gift to thank them.

This time, the Twelve Immortal Kitchen Sects contributed a lot of manpower and effort. Although they failed to rescue Gu Zheng in the end, they at least showed that attitude, which can be said to be more positive than some of the better sects in Shushan.

This is not a bad thing for Shushan, and this incident also established a good relationship between Shushan and the Twelve Immortal Chefs. Although they are not allies, with Gu Zheng as a bond, the relationship will not be much worse in the future.

The Twelve Immortal Chefs attach the most importance to cooking skills. Gu Zheng's cooking skills can impress them, which is surprising to Ziyun Zhenren.

Half a year after Gu Zheng returned to Shushan, everything returned to peace, but Gu Zheng did not calm down. After returning, Gu Zheng helped Emei Peak to do several sub-new food cultivations. He also ate a lot himself. In addition, he has been cultivating in the main peak. During this period, his immortal power has increased rapidly. Not long after, he broke through again.

From the middle stage of the Golden Immortal to the late stage of the Golden Immortal.

If you count it this way, it has only been five years since Gu Zheng became a Golden Immortal. Five years from the early stage of the Golden Immortal to the late stage. This speed really shocked many people. After Ziyun Zhenren learned about it, he was stunned for a long time, and finally shook his head and said nothing.

Gu Zheng's performance was unprecedented in the prehistoric world. No one had ever reached the Golden Immortal realm so quickly. But no one expected that Gu Zheng, who cultivated so quickly, was not satisfied. He planned to continue to rush up. Not to mention rushing to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm in one breath, at least he had to reach the peak of the late Golden Immortal realm.

The late Golden Immortal realm, plus his own many immortal skills, and the blessing of the Immortal Tiexian Xian Jue, Gu Zheng didn't know how many talented people there were in the prehistoric world, but at least in the Golden Immortal realm, he could ensure that he would not be defeated. It can also be said that the Golden Immortal realm is completely invincible.

He could defeat the late stage in the early stage, not to mention that he has reached the late stage now.

Now, he is not using other food cultivations. The best and fastest one is the Saint Fruit Food Cultivation. But if he wants to cook the Saint Fruit Food Cultivation with the main ingredient of gold this time, he must use the "Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng" as a supplementary ingredient.

"Northern Reed Immortal Ginseng" is a high-quality ingredient special to the Northern Julu Continent. Legend has it that it has been extinct many years ago! Gu Zheng had also sent information about purchasing the ‘Bei Lu Xian Shen’ through some channels, but he has not received any response until now.

After finishing the retreat to stabilize his state, Gu Zheng simply said goodbye and left. Ziyun Zhenren didn’t intend to let him go, but Gu Zheng also said that he was just going out to find medicinal materials and experience it by the way. Now he is already in the late stage of the Golden Immortal. With his ability, even ordinary Daluo Jinxian can fight. If he can’t go out alone at this time, when can he?

The path of cultivation is against the will of heaven. It is not good to protect him like this all the time. Last time, Su Ming followed him, but he was still captured by the beast. So he didn’t want protection and just wanted to go out alone.

This time, he didn’t even bring Ouyang Hai with him, just by himself.

Ziyun Zhenren couldn't convince him, so he had to agree in the end, but he also told him to be careful and pay attention to safety.

After leaving Shushan, Gu Zheng had to go to Beijuluzhou first, a place he had never been to before. This time he wanted to try his luck in Wuning County, a more remote area in Beijuluzhou, to see if he could harvest the "Beilu Xianshen" or information about the "Beilu Xianshen" in that border area.

Wuning County is far away from the westernmost end of Beijuluzhou and is an important town of a big country. Gu Zheng flew for more than a month before finally entering the territory of Wuning County.

Along the way, Gu Zheng did not encounter any cultivators of too high a level while flying in the air, and these cultivators were all busy on their way and did not have any communication with Gu Zheng.

After flying for another three days, the mortals on the ground gradually became scarce, and the scenery began to become desolate. This place is already considered a border area of ​​Beijuluzhou.

Gu Zheng landed in a border town called 'Baiyun Town'. He walked slowly towards the town along a dirt road after falling from the sky.

Baiyun Town is a border town after all. It is much simpler than other towns seen on the road. Not only is it small in area, but there are only three or four streets crisscrossing each other. Most of the houses are made of yellow mud and wooden strips, which looks a bit dirty and messy.

Gu Zheng walked around the street for a while, then found a medicine shop and walked in.

"What do you need, sir?"

The shopkeeper, who was originally taking inventory, smiled immediately when he saw Gu Zheng coming in.

"I want to ask the shopkeeper for some information."

Gu Zheng's words did not surprise the shopkeeper. On the contrary, he showed a businessman's smile: "Sir, according to convention, you have to pay for asking for information!"

"Don't worry! As long as the information you give is really useful, you will be satisfied with the reward you give!"

As Gu Zheng spoke, a ball of fire appeared in his palm, so that the shopkeeper felt his old face burning even though he was quite far away.

Gu Zheng's behavior did not displease the shopkeeper, but instead made him feel refreshed: "So it's the Immortal Lord. I was blind and thought you were a businessman who came to buy medicinal materials!"

It must be said that Gu Zheng's identity as a cultivator did save a lot of trouble. The shopkeeper of the drugstore quickly responded to the news he asked about.

What Gu Zheng asked about was naturally about Beilu Immortal Ginseng.

Gu Zheng did not have much hope when asking the shopkeeper about Beilu Immortal Ginseng. After all, Beilu Immortal has infinite magical uses and it has been extinct for many years. What's more, there are many people who want to get Beilu Immortal Ginseng. Gu Zheng believes that he is not the first cultivator to ask the shopkeeper about Beilu Immortal Ginseng.

"The Immortal Lord is looking for Beilu Immortal Ginseng at this time, it's really the right time!"

Things took a turn for the better inadvertently, and the shopkeeper of the drugstore told Gu Zheng a piece of news with a smile on his face! Qingfeng Temple in the north of Baiyun Town is going to hold an auction. It is said that among the items to be auctioned this time, there is a Beilu Immortal Ginseng.

Baiyun Town, located in the border area, is actually connected to three countries, and the Baiyun Temple mentioned by the pharmacy owner is on the northern mountain of Baiyun Town.

According to the pharmacy owner, the scale of Baiyun Temple is not very large. This kind of auction is held every five years. In addition to the immortal cultivators of the country, there are also immortal cultivators from three other countries.

‘Unintentional planting of willows has led to a shade of willows’ This made Gu Zheng very happy. He asked the shopkeeper for some information about Qingfeng Temple and left the pharmacy. Before leaving, Gu Zheng gave the pharmacy owner two immortal pills that can prolong life. The excited pharmacy owner almost knelt down and kowtowed to him.

“With Beilu Immortal Ginseng, you can cook holy fruit food, which can greatly improve your cultivation.”

Gu Zheng walked out of the pharmacy, and the voice of the spirit of the instrument sounded in his mind.

“Yes!”

Gu Zheng’s voice was slightly emotional.

Unconsciously, it has been more than five years since he entered the prehistoric world, and Gu Zheng's cultivation has also been promoted from the early stage of the Golden Immortal to the late stage of the Golden Immortal.

It took only more than five years to be able to advance from the early stage of the Golden Immortal to the late stage of the Golden Immortal. In addition to the contribution of Gu Zheng's diet, the environmental factors also accounted for a large part of the reason! After all, the immortal essence in the prehistoric world is very abundant, and it is easier to obtain high-grade ingredients here.

When he was on Earth, Gu Zheng would be happy to get a good-grade ingredient, and would be ecstatic to get a high-grade ingredient! But in the prehistoric world, especially after contacting the Shushan School, Gu Zheng saw good-grade ingredients, just like seeing medium-grade ingredients on Earth, and saw high-grade ingredients, just like seeing good-grade ingredients on Earth.

Gu Zheng's vision will change, which is not purely because he has seen a lot of high-quality ingredients in Shushan, but because he really has a lot of high-quality ingredients.

Before leaving Shushan, Ziyun Zhenren gave him a batch of ingredients and some other things. Among that batch of ingredients, there were more than 100 high-grade ingredients alone, and there were many good-grade ones.

"Spirit of the weapon, did you say anything to Master Ziyun?"

Thinking of Master Ziyun, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask the question in his mind. When he left Shushan, Master Ziyun tried to keep him, but later he felt that the spirit of the weapon had communicated with others, so Master Ziyun let him go and gave him the resources.

"I didn't say anything to Master Ziyun. I told Jin Yuanzi directly to let you go out for training, and he sent a message to Master Ziyun."

Qi Ling curled his lips, as if Master Ziyun was not qualified.

"You leave Shushan this time, and you don't know when you will go back again." Qi Ling said again.

"What's the meaning?"

Gu Zheng frowned slightly. The weapon spirit had spoken less since entering the prehistoric times, and his overall condition was not very good. He always looked worried and unhappy. Gu Zheng also asked her about this, but she didn't say much and just asked Gu Zheng to seize the time to improve his cultivation. At this moment, Gu Zheng felt that the weapon spirit he was familiar with was back, because there was that familiar spirit between her eyebrows.

"It's been five years. I know you must have a lot of questions in your heart. Let me answer them for you today!"

The weapon spirit breathed out, and then said: "It stands to reason that since you have finally ascended into the wild world, we should also go to find Lord Tiexian, but in fact we have never looked for him, and I didn't say anything more about it."

"Yes! You didn't say much, and I didn't ask much, but this is indeed a doubt in my heart!"

Gu Zheng smiled bitterly, and then said: "What? Is it because you can't contact Lord Tiexian?"

Qi Ling never mentioned the matter of looking for Tiexian, and looked depressed. The only possibility Gu Zheng could think of was that she had lost contact with Tiexian.

"Indeed, as long as I entered the ancient world, I would be able to sense Master Tiexian and communicate with him, but the actual situation is that my sense of Master Tiexian is gone! And without the sense, naturally I will not be able to sense him. able to communicate, so I have also been They are all worried about his safety. However, when you came out of seclusion this time, my sense of Master Tiexian reappeared! Although this sense is very weak and cannot be used to communicate, at least this can explain that, Mr. Tie There was no accident with Master Xian.”

Qi Ling smiled bitterly, with some tears in his eyes.

Gu Zheng understood that Qi Ling had deep feelings for Tiexian. Without news about Tiexian, it was normal for her to have no other thoughts.

"I'm still getting used to you now. In the past few years when you didn't talk, I felt like a lot was missing." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

Qi Ling stuck out his tongue at Guzheng in embarrassment: "It's better now. The thing I was most worried about has been put down. From now on, it will be the same as before!"

"Well, it's the best as before!" Gu Zheng nodded.

Qi Ling also nodded, and his face turned serious: "When I left Shushan this time, it was indeed me who asked Master Ziyun to give you these ingredients. It can be regarded as a kind of compensation for my sluggishness! Now I am leaving Shushan. Well, the vastness of the world is just right for you to have a good experience."

"Are you going to give me a mission?"

Hearing what Qi Ling said, Gu Zheng also became energetic. He had not done a mission for a long time.

"No." Qi Ling shook his head.

"Some of the tasks you can do are no longer available after entering the ancient world, such as active tasks. Logically speaking, after I take you into the ancient world, we will immediately go to Lord Tiexian. What should you do next? , Master Tie Xian will naturally arrange it, so some tasks will no longer be distributed through me, or some so-called tasks have been cancelled."

"However, this does not mean that you will not receive tasks from me. I still have the power to issue you tasks according to the situation, so when I was in the Ancient Holy Kingdom, I also issued you a task to cure the princess' disease. "

"No matter what task it is, its purpose is to make you grow, so if you want to come out and experience it, I am also very supportive. In the next period of time, until I contact Master Tie Xian, you don't have to go back to Shushan , just practice outside. As for the mission, I will release it to you depending on the situation. "

After hearing what Qi Ling said, Gu Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you have the final say on the mission anyway. I just want you to do well."

Qi Ling smiled sweetly at Gu Zheng: "Let's go up to Qingfeng Temple now. According to what the store manager said, the auction will officially start tomorrow."

"Okay!"

Qi Ling's mentality adjusted, which made Gu Zheng very happy, so he sped up and flew in the direction of Qingfeng Temple.

However, before flying very far, Gu Zheng frowned because he found that the weapon spirit was a little excited and seemed to be in a special state.

The current state of the weapon spirit was something Gu Zheng had seen when he was on earth. That was when the weapon spirit was communicating with the divine thoughts reserved by Tiexian.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right? The weapon spirit has contacted my master?" Gu Zheng guessed in his mind.

"Gu Zheng, Master Tie Xian just contacted me!"

In a very short period of time, Qi Ling ended her communication with Tiexian, and she seemed very happy at this time.

"Is Master Tiexian okay?" Gu Zheng asked.

"Fortunately! I haven't been able to get in touch during this period. The reason is that Master Tiexian and several other saints have been maintaining the balance of the fairy world, so they have temporarily cut off contact with the outside world." Qi Ling said.

"To protect the fairyland, we have to cut off all external connections. It seems that the collapse of the fairyland is not as optimistic as we heard before!" Gu Zheng said.

"yes!"

Qi Ling sighed with emotion, and then said: "I still can't contact Lord Tiexian at any time in the future, but he is very happy to know that you have arrived in the ancient world!"

"Very happy? But you didn't even talk to me."

Gu Zheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. After all, Tiexian was his master. He had gone through all kinds of difficulties and entered the wilderness. He thought he would be able to see him soon, but who would have thought that more than five years would pass in the blink of an eye. , there has been no news from Tiexian until today! It was hard to get in touch, but there wasn't even a simple communication!

Sensing the complicated mood of Gu Zheng, Qi Ling smiled slightly and said: "As you know, I didn't communicate with Lord Tiexian for too long. He was really busy and just gave me a brief explanation. However, Lord Tiexian Let me tell you that next time he has time, he will convey his spiritual thoughts to you! This communication with me is just a spiritual message."

The so-called teleportation of spiritual thoughts means being able to see, while the so-called teleportation of spiritual thoughts can only be heard.

Hearing what Qi Ling said, Gu Zheng felt better: "What did Master Tie Xian tell you this time?"

"Master Tie Xian has only three things to say, and they are all about you. The first point is for you to practice the Tie Immortal Technique well. The second point is for me to assign you some tasks as appropriate so that you can continue to grow. The third point is, let me give you an immortal weapon." Qi Ling said.

The first two points Qi Ling said are not difficult to understand, but what interests Gu Zheng is the third point.

"Immortal weapon? Is there such a good thing? Is it free?" Gu Zheng asked.

"This is not a powerful magical weapon, it just allows you to hide your identity."

The sound of the weapon spirit fell to the ground, and something appeared in the ancient space. It was an immortal weapon that looked like a human skin mask.

"With this mask on, even a quasi-sage won't be able to see through your true face. The reason why Master Tiexian asked me to give you this fairy weapon is because he wants you to grow with your own abilities. He doesn't want you to live in his world." "Under the shadow."

Gu Zheng could tell that Qi Ling's words were referring to the fact that Master Ziyun discovered his identity. Gu Zheng had no objection at all to Tiexian's decision. He was not a person who liked to rely on his elders.

Immediately, Gu Zheng took out the mask and put it on his face.

I didn't feel any discomfort at all. If I hadn't known in advance that I was wearing a mask on my face, I wouldn't have felt anything strange at all. However, Gu Zheng understood that after wearing this mask, even if he stood in front of Master Ziyun, Master Ziyun would not be able to recognize him. What he had changed was not only his appearance, but also his energy!

In any case, Tiexian finally got news, and not only the weapon spirit was happy, but also Gu Zheng.

While chatting with Qi Ling, Gu Zheng flew in the direction of Qingfeng Temple.

It didn't take long for Gu Zheng to see a not too big Taoist temple in a beautiful place on the north mountain of Baiyun Town.

Gu Zheng landed some distance away from the Taoist temple and walked up the stairs to the door of the Taoist temple. After asking the reason, the Taoist boy at the door took him into the Taoist temple.

Qingfeng Temple has a front yard and a back yard. After entering the front yard, Gu Zheng immediately saw more than forty people, gathering in twos and threes and talking quietly.

Most of the more than forty people are immortal cultivators, but their realms are not very high. The lowest is at the Qi Transformation realm, and the three with the highest cultivation levels are all in the late Golden Immortal stage.

After the Taoist boy arranged a guest room for Gu Zheng, he told Gu Zheng before leaving that there were some temporary stalls set up by immortal cultivators in the backyard. If Gu Zheng is interested, you can go and have a look.

"It's nothing interesting, and it's not valuable either. Fellow Taoist, you'd better wait for tomorrow's auction."

The guest room is not for one person. The room where Gu Zheng is located has four beds. On one of the beds, there is a white-faced man with no beard sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Thanks for the reminder, fellow Taoist, but I still have to go out." Gu Zheng said with a smile.

"Fellow Taoist, why are you here for this auction?"

The fair man opened his eyes. Although his question seemed a bit abrupt, he had a smile on his face and didn't look too annoying.

"I just arrived, so I don't know what's in this auction yet! But if you come across something suitable, just take a photo."

While talking, Gu Zheng picked up a brochure on the table in the room and read it. The items to be auctioned at this auction were written on it.

"Being able to be assigned a guest room is considered fate. I won't hide it from my Taoist friends. I came to this auction for the 'Bingqing Jade Liquid'. If my Taoist friends also like it, we can discuss it privately first." After all, if the price offered by fellow Taoist is higher than my expectation, then I would have given up sooner."

The 'Bingqing Jade Liquid' that the fair man refers to is actually a kind of spiritual spring water. Although it can also be used to cook food, according to the grade of food, its grade is not high, so Gu Zheng has nothing to do with it. interest.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in 'Bingqing Jade Liquid'." Gu Zheng said.

"In this case, Huang Qi will thank fellow Taoist first!"

The fair-skinned man laughed, and then said: "I wonder what you call fellow Taoist?"

"My name is Baizhu." Gu Zheng said.

The fair man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay! My name is Huang Qi, and my Taoist friend's name is Atractylodes. We are both related to medicine!"

Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. The name Baizhu was just influenced by the fair man, so he gave it a temporary name. In the end, the fair man took it seriously.

"I want to go out for a while, Brother Huang, please help yourself!" Gu Zheng said.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, please, I'll go out for a walk too," Huang Qi said.

Gu Zheng wanted to go to the backyard to have a look, but before going to the backyard, Gu Zheng had to go to the side hall of the front yard.

Although all cultivators can participate in this auction, if you really want to enter the venue, you still have to pay a fee to Qingfeng Temple.

"Give me a jade token to participate in the auction."

After arriving at the side hall, Gu Zheng spoke to the Taoist priest in the hall.

"I need a yellow fairy coin."

The Taoist priest didn't say much, just a faint sentence.

In the prehistoric world, the currency circulated among mortals was silver, and the currency circulated among cultivators was called "fairy coins".

The appearance of fairy coins looks like copper coins with a round outer circle and a square inner circle. It is cast by the heavenly court and has three colors: red, yellow, and blue.

A red fairy coin is almost equivalent to the value of a medium-level food, a yellow fairy coin is almost equivalent to the value of a high-quality food, and a blue fairy coin is almost equivalent to the value of a high-level food.

Gu Zheng took out a yellow fairy coin from his storage belt and gave it to the Taoist priest, and then took a jade token from him that could enter the venue.

The principle of not showing off wealth is the same everywhere. High-level space immortal tools are very rare even in the prehistoric world. It is better not to show off such treasures as prehistoric space in crowded places. After all, this is the prehistoric world. Although Gu Zheng is not afraid of any opponent in the Golden Immortal Realm, there are Daluo Jinxian above the Golden Immortal Realm. It is always right to act cautiously.

"Exchange some yellow immortal coins for me."

Gu Zheng took out a lot of resources from the storage belt again.
