Chapter 207: A Dream

"Ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones? Not expensive! Not expensive!" Shaking his head, Mr. Bai Er said with a small belly: "Then I will bid twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

It was shocking enough for everyone to bid ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones for Granny Li. Now the harmless Mr. Bai Er raised the price to twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth, and he looked as if he was still not satisfied. I am afraid that even Luohua Valley can't catch up with this courage!

No wonder the cultivation world of Nanyue recognizes a fact: the largest force in Nanyue Province is not the three major sects such as Luohua Valley, but Wanzongyuan!

The so-called largest force does not only refer to the strength of the cultivators, but also includes the financial resources, resources, and territory controlled by the force...

Only in this way can it be strong.

Granny Li stared at Mr. Bai Er fiercely, wanting to say something but unable to say it. Seeing that no one at the scene had the ability and courage to raise the price, Granny Li had no choice but to announce that Mr. Bai Er won the box of condensed dew grass in the auction.

In this way, the final auction item was auctioned in such a childish way. Mr. Bai Er got the box of condensed dew grass and left the scene.

Granny Li seemed to be very angry with Mr. Bai Er and disappeared soon.

Hu Ying in the elegant pavilion looked at Xiao Mian deeply. After seeing Fu Qingqiong and Xiang Wuqing gathered around Xiao Mian, he snorted and disappeared in Lingchuan with the crowd.

As for the other casual cultivators, seeing Xiao Mian and others gathered together, they naturally did not dare to openly attack Xiao Mian. Instead, Huangfu Ying and Xiahou Ming waited on the side.

"Brother Xiao! My friend has offended me just now. Please be magnanimous and don't blame him!" Seeing Xiao Mian looking at him, Huangfu Ying bowed and nodded to Fu Qingqiong, Xiang Wuqing and others, and then continued: "I have prepared some wine in Zuixian Pavilion. I hope Brother Xiao, Sister Fu and the two young masters of Luohua Valley will show their appreciation and let the two of us toast a little to show our appreciation!"

Xiao Mian looked at Huangfu Ying and seemed to not recognize him. Is this still the furious and impulsive Huangfu Ying?

Although I had heard Huangfu Ling say that since Huangfu Yuantu died, Huangfu Ying has become the head of the Huangfu family and his temper has changed a lot. He seems to have matured a lot all of a sudden.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Looking at Fu Qingqiong and Xiang Wuqing, seeing Fu Qingqiong nod slightly and Xiang Wuqing smile indifferently, Xiao Mian nodded to Huangfu Ying to indicate his agreement.

Huangfu Ying was overjoyed, and even Xiahou Ming beside him was also happy.

Shortly afterwards, in Zuixian Pavilion, in the private room, and in Xianyun Pavilion.

After three rounds of wine, Xiahou Ming took out a storage bag at Huangfu Ying's signal and handed it to Xiao Mian with some pain. Xiao Mian was stunned and didn't understand why.

"Don't blame me, Senior Brother Xiao! When bidding for the ice crystal bracelet just now, I didn't know the inside story and intervened in the middle, causing Senior Brother to spend two hundred more middle-grade spirit stones to get the ice crystal bracelet." As he said this, Xiahou Ming's eyes swept across Xiao Chuqing's white wrists. Seeing the pair of ice crystal bracelets shining, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Here are five hundred middle-grade spirit stones. Please accept them, Senior Brother Xiao, just as my apology to Senior Brother!"

Xiao Mian realized that the other party was so ostentatious, but it turned out to be for this. I guess he was afraid that he would settle the score later?

It seems that in Huangfu Ying's mind, he has really become a villain who will take revenge for every grievance.

However, it can be seen from this that after Huangfu Yuantu died, Huangfu Ying took the position of the head of the Huangfu family. The originally violent and reckless Huangfu Ying also became much more mature and stable. It is obvious that he was the one who led this matter and was the one who played the role of the middleman.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian reached out to take the storage bag without opening it.

Since Xiahou Ming said that there were 500 middle-grade spirit stones in it, it was expected that there would be no less.

However, since the other party was so sensible, Xiao Mian could not remain silent. After a moment of silence, Xiao Mian took out two flying swords from the storage bag, both of which were high-level magic weapons. He handed one with no attributes but only focused on attack power to Xiahou Ming, and one with earth attribute to Huangfu Ying - if Xiao Mian remembered correctly, Huangfu Ying seemed to have a natural earth attribute spirit root.

The two flying swords were confiscated by Xiao Mian from the storage bag of the monk who died in his hands before. He naturally disdained to use the high-level magic weapon flying sword, but Xiahou Ming and Huangfu Ying were still overjoyed. After all, for them, there was no difference between the top-level magic weapon and the high-level magic weapon, and the top-level magic weapon even consumed more true energy.

Although the value of the two flying swords was less than 500 medium-grade spirit stones, for them, this time they mainly wanted to resolve the misunderstanding with Xiao Mian and get close to him.

After having a good meal and drinking, everyone was happy and went their separate ways.

In the Qianfu Hall, Xiao Mian looked at the box of lacquer gold glue in his hand with a bitter smile, but when he thought of Mr. Bai Er who appeared at the auction, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, he did not use the spiritual herbs in the cold stone box to bid for other things at the auction this time, but instead spent a lot of money to bid for a box of spiritual herbs. He only hoped that this unintentional move today could confuse Mr. Bai Er.

Of course, if Mr. Bai Er really came here for Li Mudao, he would not be able to find any clues after a relentless pursuit.

After all, Xiao Mian had used those cold stone boxes before.

It seems that he should hurry back to the sect as soon as possible!

Even if the Bai family of Wanzong was arrogant and domineering, they would not dare to be too presumptuous in the face of the Five Elements Sect, which had recently been led by the Yuanying Patriarch?

It was for this reason that Xiao Mian brought Xiao Chuqing to Wanxiangzhai early the next morning.

Chi Lianxia was really efficient. Not only had she prepared many spiritual stones from the auction of spiritual herbs, she had also prepared all the five-element strange poisons that Xiao Mian requested.

Xiao Mian took the two storage bags, did not even look at them, and stood up to say goodbye.

After that, Xiao Mian left the market with Xiao Chuqing without stopping.

This made Chi Lianxia, ​​who originally wanted to ask Xiao Mian why he had to bid for the box of lacquer gold glue, think about it, but she did not ask.

But before returning to the Five Elements Mountain, Xiao Mian still had one thing to deal with, which was the request he had agreed to Xiao Chuqing before.

Now it is only half a year before the sword fighting meeting. After returning to the mountain this time, Xiao Mian will immerse himself in cultivation. How can he have time to accompany Xiao Chuqing down the mountain?

After the sword fighting meeting, Xiao Mian will leave the sect, go far away to Wanzongyuan, and embark on a journey to travel around the world. This road looks majestic, but also dangerous. Xiao Mian is not sure whether he can return safely. If he cannot fulfill Xiao Chuqing's wish this time, I am afraid that Xiao Mian will feel regretful for the rest of his life.

After leaving Lingchuan Market, Xiao Mian confirmed that no one was following him, and then he determined the direction and flew towards his hometown in his memory.

In just half a day, he saw a green mountain in the distance.

Thinking back to more than ten years ago, everything started from the green mountains and vast fields that afternoon. Xiao Mian couldn't help but stop the sword light, feeling a little homesick.

But Xiao Chuqing had obviously recognized the nameless green mountain. She poked her little head out from behind Xiao Mian and cheered, but at the same time she couldn't help but wonder: I didn't tell my third senior brother where my home was, how did he know?

Maybe the master or the second senior sister told him!

After the little girl found a plausible reason for herself, she shifted her attention to the excitement of returning to her hometown.

Thinking that she would see her parents soon, Xiao Chuqing was excited and urged Xiao Mian repeatedly, but she didn't notice that Xiao Mian, who had come to his senses, quietly took out a formation plate from the storage bag.

The array disk that Xiao Mian took out was an illusion array disk obtained from the Jindan strongman Duan Tianwei, named "Yellow Millet Dream", which can make the foundation-building cultivator fall into an illusion and be unable to extricate themselves.

This was the last resort that Xiao Mian came up with after agreeing to Xiao Chuqing. Now that Xiao Mian's parents have passed away, where can he find a pair of parents for Xiao Chuqing?

As a last resort, Xiao Mian had to ask for help from Guitou, who claimed to be a master of arrays. Guitou then agreed to modify the Yellow Millet Dream array disk, using Xiao Mian's memory as the prototype. After the array disk was activated, Xiao Chuqing could be placed in an illusion, and in that dreamlike illusion, she could realize her wish of reuniting with her parents. This was also the last thing Xiao Mian could do for Xiao Chuqing before leaving the sect, and his care for her was evident.

With Xiao Mian's current cultivation, it was naturally easy to hide from Xiao Chuqing, who had not yet established her foundation.

After that, the Huangliang Dream Array was activated, and Xiao Chuqing was indeed deceived by the illusion array. She leaned on Xiao Mian's arms as if she was sleeping, with a smile on her face.

Xiao Mian was heartbroken and heartbroken, but he couldn't help blaming himself: Was it right or wrong for me to deceive my little sister like this?

If Chuqing knew the truth in the future, would she forgive me? Or would she hate me forever?

In a trance, Xiao Mian hoped that he could also be deceived by the Huangliang Dream Array, but unfortunately, after the continuous tempering of the "Soul Separation Method", his soul was comparable to that of a Jindan strongman. Even if he wanted to be deceived by the illusion array, he couldn't get it. It was like a person who could never get drunk after drinking a thousand cups. How easy is it to get drunk?

In a trance, Xiao Mian came to the courtyard of his family in his memory.

Standing in mid-air, looking down, the courtyard with Xiao Mian's childhood memories collapsed into ruins, and it was obviously quite old...

Xiao Mian was destined to be lonely and sad in his life. He now only hoped that Xiao Chuqing could live happily. Apart from pursuing the great way, this was his only wish.
