Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 31: The troublesome and stingy Nangong Wan

At this moment, Lin Shou and Nangong Wan were unaware that each other already knew each other's identity, especially Nangong Wan, who was still thinking about how to play a trick on Lin Shou, her disciple.

She did not enter the Huangfeng Valley with Fairy Nishang on the Tianyue Divine Boat, but left when they arrived at the Huangfeng Valley market.

She planned to see if there was anything she needed in the Huangfeng Valley Market. After all, she had heard that this time, Huangfeng Valley and the three major families, the Chen family, the Feng family, and the Dong family, had brought out a lot of good things to attract cultivators from other sects, families, and even other countries.

She naturally couldn't miss such a good opportunity.

As for Lin Shou, he just wanted to get the spiritual wood he wanted quickly and then leave here. He didn't want to stay with Nangong Wan for long.

Indeed, it is a wonderful thing to have a beautiful woman by your side, but he does not have this blessing.

After all, Nangong Wan was fully capable of taking his life if she got angry.

Even if he didn't provoke the other party, Lin Shou was unwilling to stay with someone who could take his life at any time, even if the other party was a stunning beauty.

Just as both parties were thinking about it, an old man with white hair and beard and a kind face came to the empty auction table.

He is also a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Master Chen!"

"I didn't expect that it would be Master Chen from the Chen family who would host it. It looks like there are a lot of good things!"

"Yes, yes, this is Master Chen!"

With the discussions and flattery of the crowd, Master Chen on the stage's old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum.

"It is an honor for Chen and the Chen family that fellow Taoists have come here this time. The Chen family will not say anything more."

After finishing speaking, Master Chen waved his hand.

Suddenly, a secret door opened, and more than ten beautiful and graceful women walked out, but they were all mortals. Facing such a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they remained calm and walked behind Master Chen in an orderly manner.

Each person held a tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with a brocade handkerchief. This brocade handkerchief was also an ordinary magic weapon, used to cover up the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness, which was extremely thoughtful.

"The first magic weapon, the top-level magic weapon, the Soul-Captivating Five Ghost Bell, the starting price is eight hundred spirit stones!"

Before she finished speaking, the leading woman opened the tray and placed it on the auction table. Inside was a fist-sized black copper bell with five different ghost patterns on it. One could faintly hear the disturbing "woohoo" sound of ghosts.

"What? It's actually a magical weapon for demonic ghost cultivators. Master Chen, how could the Chen family refine such a magical weapon?"

A cultivator in the late foundation building stage said in surprise.

"Haha, this is not made by our Chen family. Our Chen family is a great Confucian family. How could we possibly make these evil ghost things? This Soul-Capturing Five Ghost Bell was obtained by an elder of the Chen family after he killed a ghost cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage of Yuanwu Country. Because it is incompatible with the Chen family's skills and magical powers, it is not suitable for Chen family members to use, so we put it up for auction."

Master Chen explained with a smile.

In addition to being one of the three major families in Huangfeng Valley, the Chen family is also a weapon refining family.

Mainly responsible for the magical instruments of Huangfeng Valley disciples and the sale of magical instruments to outsiders.

Most of the magic weapons in the shops in Huangfeng Valley Market come from the Chen family. The Feng family is good at making talismans, and the Dong family is good at refining pills. They all have their own strengths!
Otherwise, how could they be the three major families of Huangfeng Valley.

"I see. I'll offer you 1,500 spirit stones for this Soul-Catching Five Ghost Bell."

The cultivator in the late foundation building stage suddenly realized something and raised the price by half in one breath, which was also an apology for his slip of the tongue.

As soon as this price was announced, other Foundation Establishment cultivators who were originally interested immediately lost interest.

Master Chen was also very satisfied with the price. With a smile on his face, he announced that the Soul-Captivating Five Ghost Bell would belong to this cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

"The second auction item is a seven-hundred-year-old spiritual wood: Qingsanglong Wood. The reserve price is five hundred spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than ten spiritual stones." Then, a piece of spiritual wood about a foot long, which was as green as jade but exuded a refreshing wood fragrance, appeared on the auction table.

What is most striking is that this piece of green mulberry dragon wood is not straight, but curved, vaguely showing the shape of a dragon.

It’s not really related to “dragon”.

"Six hundred spirit stones."

Lin Shou raised the price, saying that this bite would cost one hundred spirit stones, which made Nangong Wan take a second look.

"Six hundred and twenty spirit stones"!
"Seven hundred spirit stones!"

Lin Shouyi gritted his teeth and raised the price again.

"A thousand spirit stones!"

Before he finished speaking, Nangong Wan, who was beside Lin Shou, suddenly raised the price.

This made Lin Shou turn his head and look at Nangong Wan, his face and eyes full of surprise.

"Could it be that she also wants this Qingsanglong wood?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Shou stopped bidding higher to compete.

Although he brought a lot of spiritual medicines with him, which could be exchanged for enough spiritual stones, and he was fully confident that he could compete with Nangong Wan, but since he knew the other party's identity, there was naturally no need to bid.

Seeing that Lin Shou stopped bidding, Nangong Wanyu's expression became more amusement-filled, as if she had thought of something interesting, and a hint of smile appeared between her brows.

And she also bought the green mulberry dragon wood at the price of one thousand spirit stones.

As for this side, the interest has also waned. Until the end of this auction, only a bid was made for the top-level magic weapon made of spiritual wood.
Afterwards, he left with the others, and Nangong Wan also went to the VIP loft of Huangfeng Valley.

"Senior Sister, do you mean to use this Qingsanglong wood as a gift? We don't need to use the gift that we originally prepared?"

In the VIP attic, after listening to Nangong Wan's suggestions and looking at the Qingmulberry Dragon Wood that Nangong Wan was playing with in her hands, Fairy Nishang was surprised.

"Yes, I think this Qingmulberry Dragon Wood is more suitable for that Junior Brother Lin, and it can also give him a big surprise."

At the end, Nangong Wan couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

It was as if he had already seen the shocked expression on Lin Shou's face when he obtained the Qingmulberry Dragon Wood.

Seeing this, Fairy Nishang, who knew Nangong Wan's eccentric personality, did not continue to ask anything but just talked about what she came here to do.

But it's not just about participating in the apprenticeship ceremony, the more important thing is the upcoming Ascension Conference, and the Huangfeng Valley is preparing to hold a Jindan stage cultivator trading conference.

The most important thing is that Linghu Patriarch, the Nascent Soul cultivator from Huangfeng Valley, will also be here and might be able to give some pointers.

That's why it was so grand. As for the apprenticeship ceremony of Lin Shou and Lei Wanhe, how could it be worth Huang Fenggu's trouble?

It can only be said that it happened by chance, but it still attracted a lot of attention. Lin Shou also appeared in the vision of various Jindan stage cultivators.

Lin Shou strolled around the Huangfeng Valley market, bought a few wood-attributed materials and magical instruments, and then returned to Huangfeng Valley, waiting for the apprenticeship ceremony to begin.

As for Nangong Wan's matter, he had already forgotten about it.

After all, it's just a piece of green mulberry dragon wood, nothing special, no need to think too much about it.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Lin Shou and Lei Wanhe's apprenticeship ceremony officially begins!
