Chapter 277 The Auction Begins
"Young Master Tang San, Bingqing Yujie." Xiao Ling made up a name casually, with a hint of weirdness in his tone, "You can just call me Tang San."
"It turns out to be Mr. Tang San." A glint flashed in the old man's eyes, and then he smiled again, "I think some of you are also here for the Black Imperial City's auction, right?"
Xiao Ling glanced at the old man with a look that said, "Do you even need to ask?" and thought to himself: "If it's not for the auction, is it because I'm here to eat at your Black Emperor Sect's banquet? How could I possibly tell him my true purpose?" you."
He nodded casually and urged impatiently: "Stop being so nagging, can we go in?"
"Of course you can..." The old man nodded quickly, took out a cyan waist badge from his Najie, and handed it to Xiao Ling.
"Mr. Tang San, there are so many people coming and going in Black Emperor City now, it's not easy to find a place to live. However, our Black Emperor Sect has prepared a special resting place for the strong men in the Black Angle Region. You only need to take this order Go to the 'Black Emperor Pavilion' in the center of the city, and someone will arrange accommodation for you. Those who can live there are famous and powerful people in the Black Corner Region. You should be able to get their information by just asking around. I won’t bother you anymore.”
Xiao Ling took the token, thanked him casually, and then led Medusa and the other two people slowly into the purple door under the envious eyes of the people around them...
Seeing Xiao Ling and the others disappear behind the purple gate, the old man immediately waved to one of his men and ordered in a hurried tone: "Go quickly and report the news to the sect master. Another strong man from Douzong has arrived."
The subordinate responded, turned around quickly, and left the scene in a hurry, obviously going to carry out the old man's order.
After his men left, the old man squinted his old eyes slightly, clapped his hands with the cigarette stick, and murmured to himself, "Young Master Tang San, who is pure and pure, how come you haven't heard of him? I don't know where he came from. I hope there won't be any trouble." What's the trouble?"
…
Passing through the slightly narrow and dim city gate passage, the four of them stepped into the sunny outdoors. The dazzling sunlight shone from the sky, and the hustle and bustle of the city flooded into their ears again.
They squinted their eyes, gradually adapting to the outside light, and then raised their heads. In front of them were the huge internal structure of the Black Imperial City and the bustling crowds on the wide streets. Even Xiao Ling couldn't help but admire him.
The grand scale of the Black Imperial City is indeed impressive. It is comparable to the imperial capital of the Gama Empire. In some aspects, its unique charm even dwarfs the imperial capital. There are some things here that the imperial capital does not have. This bustling city is undoubtedly one of the liveliest places Xiao Ling has seen since he set foot on Dou Qi Continent.
"Shall we go directly to Black Emperor Pavilion?" The little medical fairy turned around and asked Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling nodded lightly and replied: "Yes, let's go to the Black Emperor Pavilion to rest for a night and recharge our batteries. The auction won't start until tomorrow."
After saying that, his eyes fell on Zi Yan who was looking around with curiosity on his face, and then said: "If you want to wander around the city, that's no problem. The money I gave you before should be enough for you to spend a while. . Remember not to get into trouble, and if anything happens, come to us.”
After receiving Xiao Ling's permission, Zi Yan immediately smiled and his eyes lit up. Her child-like nature is always full of curiosity and interest in lively places.
Seeing how excited Zi Yan was, the little medical fairy also smiled and said: "You go to the Black Emperor Pavilion to settle down first. I will accompany Zi Yan around. She is very interested in this place."
The little medical fairy had long noticed that there seemed to be a subtle affection flowing between Medusa and Xiao Ling. She felt that giving the two some time alone might make their relationship take a further step.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ling's playfulness, she also knew that Xiao Ling was not the type to stay by someone's side from the beginning. She could only accept the current situation.
She knew in her heart that she could not achieve what she did today without Xiao Ling's help. In the future, Xiao Ling will also help her solve the problem of the evil body.
If she had not met Xiao Ling, she might have been like other owners of disaster poison bodies in history, and would have been unable to escape the fate of disaster. Therefore, even though Xiao Ling has his shortcomings, she will still choose to accept and tolerate him.
Xiao Ling nodded and agreed to the little medical fairy's suggestion. With her watching over him, he wasn't worried that Zi Yan would cause any trouble. So, the group of them divided into two teams.
Xiao Ling took Medusa directly to the Black Emperor Pavilion. He could feel that the auras of many powerful people gathered here. It could be said that there were many masters, hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
The strength of this Black Angle Domain is indeed well-deserved and should not be underestimated.
With the token given by the old man, Xiao Ling successfully opened two rooms, enough for the four of them to rest at night.
"In this Black Emperor Pavilion, there are at least a dozen auras of Dou Huang warriors. They are probably all masters on the Black List, or leaders of major forces. This time you want to take down the Bodhi Incarnation "Sigh, it doesn't look like an easy task." After Medusa entered the room, she placed a layer of Dou Qi soundproof barrier, then sat on the chair and said calmly.
Xiao Ling nodded without showing too much surprise. His soul power is stronger than Medusa, and he can sense more. In his perception, there are still several Douzong-level auras hidden in the Black Emperor City.
"The value of Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva is extraordinary, and there are some ancient legends behind it. Since these people know that Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva will appear at the auction, they will not let it go easily. But to be honest, I bet that most of them only know a little about this thing." Xiao Ling said easily.
In any case, Xiao Ling is determined to get Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva. His goal is very clear, and he is well prepared and will not give in easily.
Such a large auction will naturally have a dazzling array of treasures. In addition, with so many powerful people gathered, after the auction, private competition and black-eating-black situations will definitely be inevitable. Xiao Ling has made up his mind that once there is a treasure he likes, he will never let it go. Those Dou Zong bodies and soul bodies have long been targeted by him.
"Legend? Is there anything extraordinary about the origin of this Bodhi Body Transformation Saliva?" Medusa asked with a little surprise. After all, the Snake People are located in a remote area, and she doesn't know much about such secrets.
Xiao Ling nodded and began to explain to Medusa, "In this world, there is a very mysterious ancient tree called the Bodhi tree. They may grow in remote mountains and old forests, or they may be hidden in other hard-to-find places."
"The roots of this tree, after a long period of precipitation, will gradually form a sticky substance with magical effects, shaped like a heart, so some people call it Bodhi Heart. But generally speaking, it takes at least a thousand years for a Bodhi tree to condense Bodhi Heart. And Bodhi Body Saliva is a magical substance secreted from the surface of Bodhi Heart."
"If you take Bodhi Body Saliva, it has the effect of transforming people and improving their health. The magical effect of special physique. "Xiao Ling continued, "and Bodhi Heart is a rare thing nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is said that if taken by people, it can even replace the human heart. In this way, even if the heart is fatally injured, life can be saved. Moreover, the power provided by Bodhi Heart is far greater than the original heart. The most important thing is that it can continuously nourish the soul and make the soul gradually stronger. For alchemists, this is absolutely an irresistible temptation. "
"And not only for alchemists," Xiao Ling added, "For anyone, the strength of the soul is a well-known benefit. "
Medusa was surprised to hear these magical uses.
This Bodhi Heart can actually replace a person's heart and strengthen the soul!
It is not an exaggeration to call it a divine object.
Rubbing her chin, Medusa said to herself,
"It's really amazing. So, this Bodhi Heart is really a treasure. If you have the opportunity to get one, you may be able to cultivate a super genius in an instant. "
Hearing Medusa's words, Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Many people do think so, but it is not easy to find the Bodhi Heart or even the whereabouts of the Bodhi Ancient Tree through the Bodhi Transformation Saliva. Most people's understanding of these magical treasures is just some sporadic rumors." Xiao Ling explained, "But, to be honest, you still underestimate the effect of the Bodhi Heart. If someone who knows the goods gets the Bodhi Heart, he will not use it to cultivate talents, but will only keep it for himself or his family. Let me tell you this, if someone has the Bodhi Heart, even if his original talent is mediocre, he can steadily cultivate to the Dou Sheng realm and become a real top powerhouse on the Douqi Continent."
The news about this kind of peerless treasure has always been kept tightly guarded. Without sufficient power and background, ordinary people cannot get such detailed information.
If Xiao Ling hadn't read the original book in his previous life, he would have had to rely on Yao Lao to reveal something if he wanted to know the news about the Bodhi Transformation Saliva.
Think about those rough men in the Black Horn Region. Even if they really got the Bodhi Transformation Saliva, most people could only stare blankly and don't know what to do.
But unfortunately, many people lack self-knowledge and flock to the place as soon as they hear a little movement. But it's good that way, these people will fall into the trap and become Xiao Ling's prey.
After listening to Xiao Ling's detailed introduction to Bodhicitta, Medusa's shock was beyond words: "I really didn't expect that Bodhicitta would have such an amazing effect."
But she quickly regained her composure and said lightly: "However, such a treasure is still out of reach for us."
Xiao Ling grinned and comforted her easily: "Haha, don't worry, I believe you will definitely reach the realm of Dou Sheng in the future."
After hearing this, a complex light flashed across Medusa's eyes, and she smiled and responded: "Thank you for your good words, I hope so."
The two people's discussion on the topic of Bodhicitta came to an end, and Medusa turned to ask Xiao Ling for some news and information about Zhongzhou.
Xiao Ling told Medusa what he knew and the information he could share, which made her know more about Zhongzhou and aroused her curiosity about that place.
About two hours later, Xiao Yixian and Zi Yan also returned to the room.
The four chatted for a while, and then Medusa took Zi Yan to another room. It was obvious that they planned to rest together.
As a couple in love, Xiao Yixian and Xiao Ling naturally had their own things to do.
…
It was a peaceful night, and the undercurrents in the outside world did not seem to affect their peace.
As the night quietly faded, the first ray of morning light broke out at dawn, and the Black Emperor City seemed to be awakened in an instant, radiating amazing vitality. The originally empty streets were quickly filled with people pouring in from all directions. They had only one goal, that is, the magnificent auction square in the center of the city!
For this auction, the Black Emperor Sect started to build momentum several months in advance, intentionally or unintentionally leaking some news about rare treasures. In particular, the coveted Bodhi Transformation Saliva attracted the attention of countless powerful people. Many old predecessors who had not appeared in the Black Horn Region for a long time, as well as Dou Zong masters from outside the Black Horn Region, gathered here to see the style of these treasures.
Xiao Ling easily arranged a VIP box with his own strength. They arrived a few minutes in advance, stood in the box, and could overlook the hall below through the one-way glass wall that could only see the outside from the inside. The hall was crowded with people, and the voices of people talking gathered into a noisy sound wave. It was roughly estimated that there were at least thousands of people.
In the VIP passage on one side of the hall, famous strong men in the Black Horn Region appeared from time to time. Each of these characters is a well-known character.
The two elders, Jin and Yin, who are the top two on the list, are twin brothers. They are both strong men at the peak level of Douhuang. They can even fight against Douzong strong men when they join forces.
Fan Lao, the leader of the Blood Sect, is a four-star Douhuang, known for his coldness and strength.
Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect, is one of the few female strong men in the Black Horn Region. Her reputation is as awe-inspiring as her strength.
Lu Man, the Douhuang strong man who took Qing Lin away in the original work, also attended the auction on behalf of the Tianshe Mansion this time.
The fact that this auction can attract so many strong men is enough to witness the prestige of the Black Emperor Sect and the strong publicity of this auction.
With the arrival of these strong men, the atmosphere of the auction became more tense and full of expectations. Everyone present was looking forward to it, curious about what rare treasures will be displayed at today's auction.
Even Fang Yan from the Demon Flame Valley, who had had contact with Xiao Ling before, attended the auction with several elders.
Seeing that Fang Yan had now reached the Dou Zong level, Xiao Ling showed a meaningful smile on his face. It seems that the Po Zong Dan he gave him before was not in vain. At this auction, he might be able to obtain another Dou Zong level body.
At this time, Zi Yan suddenly pointed in a direction, with a hint of surprise in her tone: "Look over there, isn't that Elder Huo and Xiao Yan? Why are they here too?"
Hearing Zi Yan's words, everyone looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed found two familiar figures, Elder Huo and Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ling gently rubbed Zi Yan's hair and said with a smile: "They may have heard that there are some good things in this auction, so they also came to see. We don't have to worry too much. Elder Huo's strength is there, and they shouldn't encounter any trouble."
Zi Yan nodded, obviously agreeing with Xiao Ling's words. The people around were still talking excitedly. Xiao Ling and the others continued to chat in the box, waiting for the auction to officially begin.
...
As noon approached, an old man in a yellow robe slowly stepped into the air. His yellow robe was embroidered with several golden pythons. Under the light, these pythons seemed to come alive, emitting a faint light, giving people a strange sense of oppression.
"This is Mo Tianxing, a well-known top powerhouse in the Black Horn Region. He was already a Dou Zong-level figure more than ten years ago. He has been practicing in seclusion for these years and rarely shows up, but it is because of him that the Black Emperor Sect can maintain such a transcendent status." Xiao Ling introduced to the people next to him. Although he had never seen Mo Tianxing in person, it was not difficult for him to get a portrait and understand his appearance with his status and position.
After listening to Xiao Ling's introduction, Xiao Yixian, Medusa and Zi Yan also looked at Mo Tianxing a few more times. The strength of a four-star Dou Zong is indeed a top powerhouse in the Northwest Continent, but for them, it is just that.
As time went on, more and more powerhouses entered the seats of the auction. In addition to the Dou Zong-level figure of the old man Yingshan mentioned in the original book, there were three Dou Zong masters that Xiao Ling had never heard of.
Under Xiao Ling's perception, he noticed the strength levels of the three opponents, one was Dou Zong three stars, one was Dou Zong four stars, and the other was a more powerful Dou Zong five stars.
Judging from their positions and behaviors, the two Dou Zongs with lower star levels seemed to be on the same front, while the five-star Dou Zong seemed to be alone, and it was obvious that he came alone this time.
According to Xiao Ling's guess, these people might have happened to be near the Black Horn Region recently, and heard the news of the Black Emperor Sect auction, so they decided to try their luck and see if they could get anything.
Finally, at a certain moment, a crisp bell sounded from the center of the auction venue, which echoed melodiously in the venue and gradually overwhelmed the surrounding noise.
As the bell sound dissipated, an energy halo slowly rose on the auction table. It gradually rose, and finally wrapped the entire auction table like a huge transparent cover.
This is for safety reasons. After all, in a lawless place like the Black Horn Region, robbery of auction items has happened before.
Although the Black Emperor Sect is not an ordinary small force, they naturally dare not take it lightly in the face of such valuable auction items and the Dou Zong masters present. If something goes wrong, the Black Emperor Sect will lose face.
After the energy aura rose to the top, it was like a huge inverted jade bowl, firmly covering the auction table, providing an extra layer of protection for the upcoming auction.
