I am cautiously cultivating immortals in a strange world

The auction went on as scheduled.

Chen Lin sat in a seat in the inner field, not paying attention to other people, closing his eyes slightly and waiting quietly.

Auctions are rarely held in this world, and he was quite looking forward to it, wanting to see what good things there might be.

If there is one that suits your needs, buy it as much as possible.

Although I don’t know whether I can complete the task, it won’t be wrong to collect some treasures with such a convenient opportunity.

"You are all welcome to come and support us. Please forgive us if we are not welcoming enough."

As a fat old man came on stage, the auction officially began.

The first treasure made Chen Lin's eyes light up.

"The Nine Mysterious Divine Sword is a top-grade divine weapon that comes from an ancient sect. Each strike of the sword can release powerful might, and even the strongest in the upper realm have to avoid its edge."

"The reserve price is 10,000 crystals. Please make an offer if you are interested!"

The fat old man displayed the magic sword, without saying much, put it down, took a step back, and looked at everyone on the field with a smile.

Chen Lin frowned.

Crystal coins are the most valuable currency in this world. Ten thousand crystals is a huge number. This is just the base price. He may not be able to compete with others.

Because he wanted to keep his money to bid for soul treasures.

Immediately Chen Lin stopped worrying about it.

It's just a magical weapon. Even if he takes it out, he may not be able to use it in the Rainbow Realm. So there's no need to worry too much about it.

Competition for Excalibur is fierce.

It was eventually sold for 50,000 crystal coins. Such a large amount instantly pushed the auction to a climax.

Next, various rare treasures appeared frequently, and Chen Lin also made several moves, collecting several items that might be useful.

"The treasure below is a rare soul treasure, called the Soul-Resolving Key."

"It is said that it contains a profound inheritance involving the soul and is an alien object from ancient times. If we can decipher its secrets, we may be able to solve the mystery of immortality."

The fat old man talked nonsense.

However, the practitioners below were not interested at all, and some even made fun of them.

"Hey Fatty Hu, why don't you keep this good thing for yourself? Aren't you always looking for the secret of immortality?"

"That's right, don't tell me you've had enough of life, the girls in Wanhua Pavilion can't agree to that."

"Hahaha……"

The audience burst into laughter.

Someone else said, "In our current cultivation world, there are no people who practice the Way of the Soul. Even if the thing you took out, Fatty Hu, was left by a god, it is just a useless thing."

"Humph."

The fat old man snorted.

He curled his lips and said, "Xiu Quezi, a frog in a well, what can you know? The world is so big, and there are countless practitioners. How do you know that there are no soul cultivators? Don't bring out your ignorance to make people laugh."

After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to the people who were making a fuss.

Look around.

He said in a loud voice: "This treasure is only available to those who are destined to have it. Please participate carefully. The starting price is three thousand crystals. If you need it, you can start bidding."

No one said anything.

Everyone off the field looked at each other, and no one had any intention of making a bid.

Three thousand crystals is not a small amount. No one is willing to spend so much money on researching something that is useless.

The fat old man sighed.

He asked twice more, and seeing that no one offered, he asked someone to take the item away.

"I'll give you 3,000 crystals."

Just then, an awkward voice sounded, as if the voice was holding back.

Chen Lin, who was about to make a bid, glanced sideways.

However, the person who spoke was wearing a mask, his body was covered in a wide cloak, and there was a faint aura around him, so his true appearance could not be seen.

"Hahaha."

The fat old man smiled.

Pick up a black key the size of a finger on the table.

He waved it towards the crowd and said, "It seems that there are still people who know the value of treasures. Treasures belong to those who are destined to own them. You are not destined to own them."

Done.

He put the key back into the box.

After covering it, look at the person wearing the mask and announce the result.

"I'll give you 5,000 crystals."

Chen Lin made an offer immediately.

The information received by the newspaper is inconsistent. It is estimated that this item is the only soul treasure in the entire auction. It is not easy to come across it, and no matter whether it is useful or not, it cannot be missed.

The masked man glanced at Chen Lin.

He actually stopped and didn't continue to raise the price, as if he was just curious and wanted to buy it and take a look.

"Is there anyone who wants to raise the price? Soul treasures are hard to come by, so don't regret it if you miss it."

When Fatty Hu saw that there was competition, he immediately became excited and started to use rhetoric to seduce.

But no one paid any attention.

a long time.

He could only smile awkwardly and declare the treasure to be his.

Chen Lin immediately stood up to make the transaction.

After getting the things, he returned to his seat, keeping an eye on the treasure below while observing the key.

He is not afraid of anyone coveting him.

No one is competing for this thing, so no one would take the risk. Besides, his strength has improved now, so he is not afraid of facing opponents of higher levels.

But after looking around, I couldn't see any clues.

It looks like an ordinary key, like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade, black all over and with a very rough surface.

It looks like it was casually made by an unskilled craftsman.

But if you use soul power to sense it, it will emit very weak fluctuations, which is undoubtedly a soul item.

Chen Lin smacked his lips.

He felt as if he had been duped.

Even if this thing is a soul treasure, its level will not be high, and it may really be a key. You need to find something that can be opened with the key to get the so-called inheritance.

But he had no time to look for it.

After studying it for a while, Chen Lin put the key away and turned to look at the masked man.

But the other party had disappeared.

His face darkened.

Now the auction has not even reached the middle and the other party has left. It is hard not to suspect that he is a stooge.

Took a breath.

Chen Lin stopped thinking about it.
The information about the treasure was not false, it was indeed a spiritual item. When Fatty Hu introduced it, he did not say that it must be inherited, he just said that it would belong to those who are destined to have it, and there was no reason to return it.

It’s just five thousand crystals. Just consider it as buying hope. After leaving this world, no amount of money will be of any use anyway.

Calming his mind, Chen Lin continued to watch the auction.

The entire auction lasts two days.

There was just a short break at halftime, and then the show continued in one go, until the finale.

Five pieces in total.

"The Divine Flame Blade can enhance the power of flame attacks, and is infinitely close to a holy weapon. The starting price is 50,000 crystals!"

The auctioneer for the finale item was not Fatty Hu, but a tall, dignified man. He did not make a long speech or exaggerate when introducing the treasure. He started the bidding with just a few words.

There is no need for the other party to introduce.

Just the words 'infinitely close to the holy weapon' are enough to make everyone obsessed.

Only those in the holy realm can use holy weapons. Even if you get them, you can only stare blankly. For ordinary practitioners, "quasi-holy weapons" are the pinnacle of treasures.

With such a treasure, combat effectiveness will surely increase significantly.

"I'll pay fifty thousand!"

Someone immediately made an offer.

Then someone sneered, "What are you thinking? You want to buy a quasi-sacred weapon for 50,000. You won't get a bargain at an auction. I'll offer 100,000!"

Chen Lin grinned.

After only two bids, the price has reached 100,000, and the transaction price will be at least 500,000.

He can't afford it.

Over the years, he has collected many treasures and accumulated a lot of money, but most of it has been used to expand the newspaper, and it has not yet started to make a profit.

Logically speaking, the most valuable things on him are the remaining materials of strange creatures and their soul ashes, and there are quite a lot of them. However, there are no soul practitioners or ghost practitioners in this world, so they cannot be sold at a good price.

no way.

Although Chen Lin was itching to do so, he could only watch.

This knife was bought at the terrifying price of 630,000 crystal coins.

The second finale item is a set of exercises.

Still caused some scramble.

But Chen Lin was not interested. Although he could practice high-dimensional skills, his speed was shockingly slow. The higher the level of the skills, the slower it was. It would be better for him to practice Black Tiger Heart-Ripping Skill honestly.

Anyway, Xiaohua can deduce it, so there is no need to worry about the subsequent exercises.

Thinking of Xiaohua, Chen Lin couldn't help but wonder about the other party's origins.

It is definitely not an ordinary identity.

The other party knows too many things, has many methods, and his comprehension is simply incredible. It is as easy for him to deduce martial arts as eating and drinking. Even if the Black Tiger Heart is an ordinary item in the high-dimensional space, it is enough to show the other party's extraordinaryness.

But the other party was unwilling to reveal his origins, so he had no choice but to hint at it bit by bit.

The third item was brought onto the stage.

Chen Lin was very surprised.

It turned out to be a spiritual fruit brought out from the Zhenyang treasure.

According to the introduction, after eating this fruit, one can obtain a true yang body and can expect to reach the holy realm.

This fruit is very useful to Chen Lin.

But he did not participate in the auction.

Because he had decided not to be involved in any cause and effect anymore, so apart from the Sunstone, he would not touch anything related to the True Yangzi.

He never even visited his child Zhou Jing once.

The fourth item is a robe.

The style is novel and beautiful, with super strong defensive power, and it is said that nothing can be broken by a single blow except in the holy realm.

Such a treasure would naturally cause another round of competition.

But all parties were very restrained.

Chen Lin knew that the target of all major forces was the last item.

Longevity nectar!

He came for this too.

The Longevity Elixir is a well-known longevity treasure in this world. Depending on its purity, it can extend the lifespan of practitioners for a certain period of time. The one at the auction this time is said to be able to extend life by a hundred years.

Don't underestimate a hundred years.

For those monks who are stuck at the bottleneck of a great realm, a hundred years is enough to change many things, and even change the rise and fall of a top force.

Auction ends.

Chen Lin walked out of the venue dejectedly.

The competition for the Longevity Elixir was so fierce that he was defeated after only two rounds. The longevity treasure was hard to come by, so if he missed this opportunity, there would be basically no hope.

He can only place his hopes in the realm of darkness.

Without staying in the city, Chen Lin came to the riverside and controlled the spirit boat straight to the Northern Territory.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

Not long after they set out, a large ship caught up and the person on the bow waved at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin's eyes fixed.

This person was the one who bid for the Soul-Removing Key at the auction. He was still wearing a mask and a huge cloak covering his entire body.

"What are you calling me for?"

Chen Lin did not get closer, but used his internal force to transmit the sound.

The big ship sailed alongside him.

The masked man spoke again: "Don't misunderstand me, fellow Taoist. I have no ill intentions. I just want to discuss spiritual practice with you."

"No need."

Chen Lin refused without hesitation.

The other party is hiding his head and tail, and it is obvious that he is not a good person. He is not at the top of this world yet, and there are many people who can kill him. There is no need to contact him.

"Why do you keep people at a distance, my friend?"

The masked man looked at Chen Lin.

He said in a strange tone: "Since you bought the key to release the soul, you must have the method to release the soul. Let's discuss it with each other. It will be of great benefit to release the soul. Why not do it?"

Chen Lin's heart moved.

The method of releasing the soul sounded like some secret technique related to the soul, but he had never heard of it.

He pondered for a moment.

He looked at the other party and transmitted the message.

"What kind of soul-releasing method do you know?"

While asking, he separated his soul into the cave jade pendant and asked Xiaohua questions.

"The key to unlock the soul, is there such a thing here?"

Xiaohua was very surprised.

Then he said, "The Soul-Removing Key needs to be used in conjunction with the Soul-Removing Method in order to remove the Soul Lock. However, the Soul Lock theory has not been established and only exists in ancient books. I have never met anyone who can remove the Soul Lock, so I don't know much about it."

"Then do you know how to release the soul?"

Chen Lin asked quickly.

The bud of the small flower shook a few times. "I don't remember either. My memory loss is quite serious. Maybe I can remember it later. But I remember that I have a friend who likes to collect several spiritual objects. He also said that they can help to resolve the soul. If you encounter them, you can collect them first, but before you figure out the truth about resolving the soul, don't try it lightly."

At this time.

The masked man brought the ship closer.

He replied, "My soul-releasing technique is the Eight-Gate Lock-Calling Technique. What is your soul-releasing technique called, Taoist friend?"

Chen Lin didn't answer.

He secretly memorized the name.

He said carefully, "I'm very sorry, my soul-releasing technique is inherited from my master and cannot be revealed to others. I'm afraid I can't communicate with you."

As soon as these words came out.

The masked man's eyes froze obviously.

His tone immediately fluctuated, and he asked in an expectant tone: "You actually have a teacher in this area, can you introduce a respected teacher to me?"

Chen Lin shook his head.

"I haven't been in touch with my master for a long time. I don't know where he is. Besides, my master doesn't like to be public. The name he told me might be false."

The masked man's eyes flashed with suspicion.

He looked at Chen Lin deeply and said, "Does the master have any other inheritance about the soul-releasing method?"

This is what Chen Lin was waiting for.

But he pretended to be hesitant.

After a long while, he replied, "Yes, there is, but this is a secret of inheritance. It cannot be leaked without special reasons. Unless a fellow Taoist can provide equivalent information, we can exchange it with each other."

"hehe."

The masked man smiled calmly.

"If you want my soul-releasing technique, just tell me. My technique is not a secret and I can teach it to you. But if you are unwilling to share your soul-releasing technique, then I have to see if the other information is worth it."

He glanced at Chen Lin.

"Fellow Daoist, can you please tell me what information you can trade?"

"A spiritual object that assists in the release of souls."

Chen Lin responded immediately.

After saying that, he looked into the masked man's eyes.

He didn't know whether this information was useful or not, he just wanted to give it a try. If he could get it, that would be the best. If not, forget it. He would just wait until Xiaohua's memory recovered.

The masked man became enthusiastic when he heard this.

"Do you know what can help to release the soul?"

Chen Lin remained silent.

The masked man also regained his composure. He flipped his wrist, took out a small blue conch, forced a particle of light out from his forehead, and drilled into the conch.

Wrap it with soul power and hand it to Chen Lin.

He said in a deep voice: "This is the first half of the Eight Gates Summoning Lock Technique. Tell me the information about the spiritual object. I will give you the second half after I make sure you are not lying."

Chen Lin took it in his hand.

But there was no rush to check.

Holding the conch, he said, "You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either. Let's swear with the feather of oath. It will be more convenient this way."

Then he took out two feathers.

One black and one white.

Chen Lin shook his hand, and the black feather flew in front of the masked man like an arrow. (End of this chapter)
