Gu Xun'er didn't say anything, she just pulled Xiao Miao and followed him out.
The two walked in the corridor inside the attic for about a few minutes and finally stopped in front of a bronze door. The old man also stopped here, bowed to the two of them, and left quietly without saying any nonsense.
Gu Xun'er took a step forward and slowly pushed open the ancient bronze door. A faint light shone out from it. Then the two of them stretched out their feet and stepped directly in.
After entering the bronze gate, Xiao Miao couldn't help but narrow his eyes. As the faint light just faded away, an ancient temple about half the size of a square appeared in everyone's sight.
There are many stone chairs in this ancient temple. At this moment, many figures are sitting on these chairs. However, these people, like the two of them, have their faces covered by black cloaks, and no one knows each other's identity.
The entry of the two also attracted some glances, but then they shifted away. However, Xiao Miao could still feel that some eyes were secretly scanning them back and forth, as if trying to discover their identities from some flaws.
Gu Xun'er took Xiao Miao to a more secluded seat, then sat down and whispered in his ear:
"Xiao Miao, wait a moment, the transaction here will start soon."
Xiao Miao felt the girl's clenched hand beside him and could not help but nodded slightly. This was the first time he had been to such a big scene. Anyway, he would just follow the girl beside him. However, he felt a little guilty in his heart. Although Gu Xun'er did not treat him badly after bringing him to the ancient world, he still longed for the freedom to go out. He could only say sorry in his heart and wait to compensate her in the future.
The two did not communicate much afterwards. After all, everyone in the place was basically quiet. If they continued to communicate, it might attract the prying eyes of others.
In the tranquility of this place, two hours passed quietly. As some figures in black cloaks entered one after another, in the end, a rough look showed that there were no less than a hundred people here.
Xiao Miao looked at these people, and he didn't know if there were other members of the ancient clan among them. Since these black robes and cloaks could block detection, he couldn't find out.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, in this quiet ancient temple, a melodious and clear bell sounded. Then, in the center of the temple, an old man with white hair and beard, who looked like he was about to die, appeared slowly in everyone's sight in the distorted space.
This old man was not wearing a black robe. In Xiao Miao's soul perception, this old man who looked half-dead was actually quite terrifying. At least in his perception, he was more unfathomable than the two old men guarding the outer gate.
"Haha, it's another space trade fair. I hope everyone is well."
The old man with white hair and eyebrows swept his eyes around the hall, and his old but powerful voice rang in everyone's ears. However, no one present responded to his greeting, and the atmosphere was still strangely quiet.
The old man didn't care about this. It seemed like this was not his first time experiencing such a thing. Instead, he was very familiar with it. With a wave of his sleeves, the space around him slowly twisted, and then it became like a space prison, surrounding the old man.
"These are old rules. I hope you don't mind."
The white-haired old man smiled suddenly, looking somewhat peaceful, but those who knew him well knew that he was not as kind as he seemed. He then stood on the auction table in front of him, coughed, and said softly again:
"Almost everyone has arrived, so there's no need to continue talking nonsense. Let's start this year's space trade fair."
As the white-haired old man in front of him finished his last words, almost all eyes in the hall instantly focused on the old man. There was a hint of expectation and enthusiasm between the shadows. Even Xiao Miao had some expectation in his eyes. After all, from Gu Xun'er's mouth, he learned that the things that could be traded here were treasures that were even rarer than those in the outside world.
"The first item of this space trade fair."
"Wooden Vine Spirit."
The old man wiped his palm across the void in front of him, and a green vine branch the size of a wrist appeared in everyone's sight in the twisted space wall. Even if they were far away, they could feel the vitality emanating from it.
When they heard the name, everyone present was a little surprised. As the name suggests, this vine branch is indeed not simple. It is said to be a treasure from a mysterious place at the extreme of the Eastern Continent. It is full of vitality. If a wood-attributed Dou Qi practitioner absorbs it, the improvement of Dou Qi will be significant. Moreover, the vitality in it can be used to heal the wounded, or even go further. Therefore, even if you are not a wood-attributed practitioner, if you bring it back, you will have an extra chance of life. I don't know who can take it out for auction.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the vine branches in front of them.
"The owner of this wood vine spirit wants to exchange it for an eighth-grade elixir that has experienced four-color elixir thunder. After evaluation, the wood vine spirit is worth the price, so if you are interested, please make an offer."
After the old man finished speaking, the hall fell into silence again.
After hearing the words, Xiao Miao was mainly shocked by the value of the exchange. Although he didn't know much about this wood vine spirit, just based on the fact that it required an eighth-grade elixir to exchange it, he knew that this wood vine spirit was no ordinary one.
But what made Xiao Miao curious was that it was impossible for such a treasure to be unwanted, but at this moment the hall was completely silent. However, the old man did not seem to be in the least bit anxious about this phenomenon, but continued to smile.
Fortunately, this silence did not last long. After two or three minutes, a creepy hoarse voice was heard.
"I want it"
Xiao Miao followed the source of the uncomfortable sound and saw a figure wrapped in a cloak, casually throwing out a jade bottle and then dropping it steadily into the old man's hand.
Chapter 134 Gu Xun'er's Temptation
The white-haired old man took the jade bottle, opened the bottle cap and took a look. He smiled gently, looked around, and said slowly:
"Is there anyone who offers a higher price than this one?"
"I will produce an eighth-grade elixir with five-colored pill thunder."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, another man in black robe spoke, sounding a little old but full of energy. At the same time, he looked at Mu Teng Ling on the stage with expectation in his eyes. As long as he had this, his previous injuries would be healed, and he could even go further, maybe even break through to the legendary semi-saint realm. His heart was burning with excitement for a moment.
"Six colors."
At this moment, the black-robed man who had made the bid with a hoarse voice earlier spoke again. These two simple words made the black-robed man who was competing with him frown.
"Is there anyone else bidding higher? If not, this Mu Teng Ling will belong to this powerful man."
The old man on the stage spoke again, but this time no one said anything, including the man in black robe who raised the price earlier.
The black-robed man with the old voice had an unwilling look on his face, but there was nothing he could do. The five-colored thunder elixir was already his highest worth. He couldn't help but shook his head in frustration. It seemed that he had to find another way to heal his injury.
If it had been in a previous space trade fair, someone would have definitely raised the price when this wood vine spirit appeared, but now they had all received the news and were coming for the last few treasures. Although the healing effect of this wood vine spirit was good, it was still not enough for what they wanted. If they wasted their money on this, they might not be able to bid in the future.
Seeing that no one spoke again, the old man on the stage smiled, snapped his fingers, and the lively wood vine spirit in front of him flew directly to the black-robed man who made the first bid. The latter grabbed it and put it directly into the ring.
Xiao Miao looked at the people in the field who were all dressed in black robes, and his heart was hesitating. It seemed that everyone in the field was an old fox, and this was not enough to move their hearts.
With the end of Mu Tengling's auction, the next trade fair began. In the following auctions, the items that appeared became more and more dazzling, from fighting skills to martial arts, from elixirs to natural treasures, from weapons to medicine cauldrons, and so on.
There were quite a few good things, and Xiao Miao was tempted by them, but unfortunately his pocket was empty, and these were not necessities for him. If he asked Gu Xun'er to buy them for him, he would probably feel even more uncomfortable when he had to pay them back in the future.
However, Xiao Miao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, because among the auction items, there was not a single treasure that suited his taste. It seemed that he could only try his luck in the Northern Continent later.
Since he couldn't get what he wanted, Xiao Miao seemed a little drowsy at the following auction. After all, there was nothing suitable for him, and he had no money. This time he came to find a place. When he had saved up enough pills next time, he would definitely spend some.
"The next auction item is the Diamond Glazed Bell. It was made by a master weapon refiner a thousand years ago. After testing, it can withstand attacks below the level of a semi-saint. The starting price is an eighth-grade elixir with five-color pill thunder."
The old man on the stage once again took out an exquisite golden small bell from the distorted space wall, and then slowly spoke to the people below the stage.
Seeing the small bell appear in front of them, everyone in the audience couldn't help but get excited. They didn't expect that this space trade fair would still have weapon-refining treasures left over from thousands of years ago. All of a sudden, they all stood up and spoke.
"An eighth-grade pill with six-colored pill thunder."
"I'll give you two."
"Three."
Xiao Miao looked at the people who kept raising the price, his eyes fixed on the exquisite little bell on the stage. He didn't expect that there was such a thing that could actually withstand attacks below half-saint. It was indeed very valuable. Just looking at the effect of its use, it was even more precious than the wooden vine spirit just now.
"Five."
Just as Xiao Miao was secretly sighing, the girl next to him spoke.
Hearing the voice beside him, Xiao Miao couldn't help but look at Gu Xun'er beside him. He didn't expect that she was also interested in this clock. But it's true, after all, it's not an ordinary thing.
"Six."
"Seven."
Although Gu Xun'er's bid was already quite high, there were still strong people who kept raising the price. It seemed that they had other ideas about the exquisite little clock in front of them.
"Two eighth-grade pills with seven-colored pill thunder."
Gu Xun'er looked at everyone raising the price, but she was not in a hurry at all, and then she spoke slowly.
After hearing Gu Xun'er's words, everyone present fell silent, and then stopped talking. Obviously, this was beyond their expectations.
It was the black-robed strong man who had raised the highest price earlier who could not help but snorted coldly. Xiao Miao heard the voice and looked towards the source, only to see a somewhat skinny figure sitting cross-legged on a stone chair.
The latter seemed to feel Xiao Miao's gaze, and a cold look flashed across his face under the cloak, but then a sinister look shot out like a sharp sword, causing the surrounding space to slightly ripple, and a strange pressure also enveloped the two of them.
In an instant, an old man behind the two of them waved his sleeves and instantly destroyed the invisible pressure. At the same time, the vicious man seemed to have suffered the same treatment, and for a moment, his body became hunched.
The old man on the stage seemed to have noticed what was happening below the stage, and couldn't help but say in a slightly friendly tone:
"Please stop and give me some face. If this person breaks the rules again, I will definitely deal with him personally."
Hearing this, the old man behind him glanced at Gu Xun'er, and after seeing her nod slightly, the gloomy old man in the distance finally came to his senses.
"Is there anyone else bidding? If not, then the item belongs to the owner."
The old man on the stage watched the dispute in the audience being resolved, and his tightly furrowed brows couldn't help but relax. To be honest, the aura coming from the strong man in the audience just now made him feel terrified.
After seeing that no one raised the price, he flicked the exquisite little bell in his hand towards Gu Xun'er, and then put it in his pocket under Xiao Miao's envious gaze.
"Do you want it? Xiao Miao, as long as you let me control you at night in the future, I will give it to you."
At this time, Gu Xun'er on the side noticed Xiao Miao's gaze and couldn't help but smile gently. She picked up the exquisite storage ring in which she had just put the small bell and shook it gently at the young man in the black robe in front of her, and spoke softly.
Hearing this, Xiao Miao couldn't help but be silent as he looked at the ring on Gu Xun'er's beautiful finger that kept swinging. Was this tempting him to sell himself for profit? He looked at the thing that was close to him, and thought about the exquisite little bell just now. It could withstand attacks below the level of a half-saint, which seemed good.
Chapter 135 Xiao Miao's Thoughts on Escape
Xiao Miao let go of his thoughts and quickly shook his head, wondering what he was thinking about. He opened his mouth and asked softly:
"Isn't this the purpose of your trip?"
Hearing Xiao Miao's words, Gu Xun'er seemed to be amused, and said in a relaxed tone:
"Although this thing is quite effective, it's not enough for our ancient clan to go to such great lengths to come here. We just came out to gain experience, and we just happened to come across this Space Trade Fair, so we came to take a look."
When Xiao Miao heard the words of the girl in front of him, he didn't know what to say. Are all the children of big families so arrogant when they come out to gain experience?
Xiao Miao couldn't help but think of the time when he came out to gain experience. He was penniless at that time and had to rely on the elixirs of the snake people to practice. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know how Medusa was doing now.
As time passed, although the treasures that appeared next were all rare and not catching the eye of the girl next to her, there were still other strong men competing to bid for them. After all, not everyone has such a huge family power.
"The next item is the last one to be auctioned at this trade fair, the Holy Origin Fruit. I'm sure everyone is familiar with it. This item can greatly increase the chances of breaking through to the Dou Sheng level."
As he spoke, a strange-looking fruit appeared in the hand of the old man on the stage. It was only half the size of a fist, but the fruit itself inexplicably emitted a mysterious wave, so that everyone on and off the stage could feel the subtle energy, and it seemed as if the energy in their bodies was even being pulled.
For a moment, Xiao Miao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he could hear the breathing in the venue seemed to become heavy. It seemed that this fruit was very attractive to them. But after all, it could greatly increase the chances of breaking through to the Fighting Saint level. Who wouldn't want it?
Xiao Miao couldn't help but look at the girl beside him and said slowly:
"Do you want this?"
The girl next to him nodded slightly, with a slight ripple in her eyes, but that was all.
"I'll offer two eighth-grade pills with eight-colored pill thunder."
