Chapter 34 A Popular Auction
Zhang Wei frowned.

Xiao Yunshan stood up excitedly, shouting, "What, four pieces! Old Wu, you...what's wrong with you? Why did you raise the price at the last minute?"

Wu Guize said: "What do you mean by temporary price increase? When did I temporarily increase the price?"

"Obviously you originally..."

Wu Gui rolled his eyes at Xiao Yunshan and said, "You still remember it was back then? Don't you think about how many years have passed? Prices in the market have gone up a lot, why can't I go up a bit?"

Then he stretched out four fingers and said, "Four first-grade top-grade magic weapons. I won't sell them if one is missing!"

"This..." Xiao Yunshan's face looked very ugly.

Wu Gui then explained: "Don't blame me for being rude. Lao Xiao, I only made the offer because of you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even bother with them and would just tell them to get lost!"

Hearing that there was something else going on, Xiao Yunshan asked curiously, "What happened?"

Wu Gui sighed and said, "I heard that Chuyun Market will hold an auction soon. A total of eight foundation-building immortal cultivation families and famous independent cultivators near Yun Country will attend. What price will they offer if I put this magic weapon formula up for auction?"

"How...how come...why is there suddenly an auction?"

Xiao Yunshan looked solemn. He did not doubt Wu Gui's words, because such a big event would be known sooner or later, but someone had the means to know it in advance.

If Wu Gui deceived them today, it would not take long for them to know the truth, and by then they would not even be friends anymore. Based on Xiao Yunshan's understanding of Wu Gui, although he could be a little clever, he would not do such a despicable thing.

If what Wu Gui said was true, based on the special nature of the flying magic weapon, even just the formula would be enough for a group of foundation-building families to fight for. By then, let alone four first-class magic weapons, a higher price would not be impossible.

But why is the auction being held out of the blue?
Unlike Xiao Yunshan, Zhang Wei's frown relaxed after hearing Wu Gui's explanation. He smiled and said, "I see. It's not Brother Wu's fault. If it were me, I would also wait for a good price during this period of time."

Wu Gui thanked him, "Thank you, Daoist Xiaofan, for your understanding."

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I really want the formula for the Moyunsuo magic weapon, but it happened suddenly and I don't have that much money on hand for the time being."

Wu Gui said: "In that case, then slowly..."

Wu Gui was about to see him off when Zhang Wei changed his tone and took out a golden talisman from his arms and said, "So, can I use this to make a deal?"

Seeing this, Xiao Yunshan and Wu Gui, the two talisman masters, jumped up on the spot, and then exclaimed in unison: "Second-level talisman!"

That’s right, as talisman masters, they would definitely not admit their mistakes.

Look at the precision of the runes on it, it is simply not something they can draw at their level. This is a genuine second-level spiritual rune!

"It's the Gengjin Sword Talisman, one of the best killing talismans among the second-level gold-attribute talismans. Killing a Qi-refining cultivator is like butchering a dog, and one will cost at least three hundred taels. Are you sure you want to use this talisman to make the deal?" Wu Gui said.

Zhang Wei: “Of course!”

"Okay, Brother Xiaofan, please wait a moment!"

After Wu Gui finished speaking, he turned into the inner room. Then Zhang Wei and Xiao Yunshan heard a series of sounds of rummaging through drawers.

"Xiao Fan, you are crazy! Although this Gengjin sword talisman is a one-time spiritual talisman, it is still a trump card! Are you going to convert it into spiritual stones just like that?" Xiao Yunshan couldn't help but pull Zhang Wei's arm and said.

However, Zhang Wei said: "As long as I can learn how to refine the Moyun Shuttle, I will buy as many of these talismans as I want in the future!"

"you……"

Xiao Yunshan was almost amused, thinking that you are such a big shot. You think you can definitely make it without even getting the formula?

Forget it, it's not my money anyway. Just let this guy do what he wants!

Not long after, Wu Gui came back with a jade slip. Looking at it, Wu Gui said with regret, "This was passed down by my great grandfather, but it's a pity that I, an unworthy descendant, cannot inherit his legacy.

In my generation, not only did we fail to restore the family, we didn’t even have the talent to be a weapon refiner. Instead, we were reduced to selling our ancestral heritage to obtain cultivation resources. I hope you can treat him well.”

"Xiao Fan will obey!"

Zhang Wei took the jade slip from Wu Gui, and then put it on his forehead, carefully read the information on it, and put it away after confirming that it was genuine. Then he handed the package of gold to Wu Gui.

Wu Gui opened the package immediately after receiving it. When he saw the neatly stacked five hundred taels of gold, his eyes almost turned golden.

He took out a gold bar and took a bite of it.

Mmm, this tastes really good!

Then Zhang Wei seemed to suddenly think of something and asked, "By the way, may I ask Daoist Wu, what is the situation of the auction you mentioned earlier?"

Xiao Yunshan next to him also asked: "Yes, there has never been a precedent for an auction in our small place like Chuyunfang. If you said it was Yunshangfang, I can understand."

"You'll know it sooner or later anyway, so I'll tell you in advance."

Wu Gui laughed awkwardly and said, "Remember the Luoxia Corpse Chaos a few years ago?
After killing the Corpse King, Master Yunhai obtained a piece of heaven and earth essence, called the Spiritual Blood Jade. However, due to fierce competition among his disciples, the ownership of this piece of heaven and earth essence has not been determined.

Until a while ago, Master Yunshang suddenly announced that he was going to celebrate his 300th birthday, and then the true disciples of Yunshang Sect started to become active like sharks smelling blood.

He wanted to end the dispute over the essence of heaven and earth by offering a birthday gift to Master Yunhai. Whoever's birthday gift pleased Master Yunhai the most would then have the essence of heaven and earth decided.

This auction was organized by Yun Yang, the grandfather of one of the Yunshang Sect's true disciples and a second-rank intermediate-grade alchemist of the Yunshang Sect, in order to collect money for his grandson, a true disciple.

The reason for choosing the Izumo Market is that the Master Yunqing who is in charge of the Izumo Shell Market here is the direct disciple of the Master Yunyang, so it is convenient to get things done here.

Once enough money is collected, the true disciple will go to Linglong Island and ask the Purple Mansion Master on Linglong Island to make a third-grade birthday gift specifically for Master Yunhai!"

After listening to Wu Gui's story, Xiao Yunshan couldn't help but exclaimed, "So all this big fuss was done just to give a gift to Master Yunhai? I, an independent cultivator, really can't learn the ways of the disciples of the big sects."

Zhang Wei pondered and said, "Is that so? Then there should be a lot of good stuff at the auction, right?"

Wu Gui laughed and said, "Of course, by then the treasures at the auction will probably have to be first-class quality.

I would also like to thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhang. Although your 1,000 taels of spiritual stones are not magic weapons, they are enough for me to go to the auction and see the world."

As he said this, Wu Gui even pretended to salute Zhang Wei, which made Xiao Yunshan next to him couldn't help but kick him.

"Okay, okay, you're so beautiful. It's really a waste to give you five hundred taels of gold." Xiao Yunshan said half with envy and half with hatred.

"If you are capable, you will have an outstanding ancestor who will leave you a legacy." Wu Gui said sarcastically. At this time, he did not mention at all that he was an unfilial descendant.

Then Wu Gui looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "By the way, Daoist Xiaofan, do you need other magic weapon formulas? I also know a few people who have had some adventures. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"

Zhang Wei pointed at the gold bar in Wu Gui's hand and said with a helpless smile: "I would like to buy it, but I don't have any money."

After leaving Wu Gui's house, Zhang Wei said goodbye to Xiao Yunshan and said that he couldn't wait to go back to refine the Mo Yun Shuttle.

Although Xiao Yunshan did not have much hope for Zhang Wei to refine the Moyun Shuttle, he still encouraged Zhang Wei and even took out ten taels of spirit stones as funding.

Because he felt that Zhang Wei's financial situation would not be very good after he paid out 500 taels of gold. If he went to buy materials for refining the Moyun Shuttle, he would probably have trouble eating.

So, in the spirit of helping someone in need, Xiao Yunshan directly took out his own private money.

Zhang Wei did not refuse and simply accepted the ten taels of spirit stones. He also promised to give Xiao Yunshan a preferential price if the Moyun Shuttle was successfully refined in the future.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Yunshan, Zhang Wei changed his appearance and went directly to Yunshanglou, and bought a bunch of relevant spiritual materials according to the recipe requirements.

Finally, Zhang Wei asked the shopkeeper of Yunshanglou: "Shopkeeper, do you know when the auction in Chuyunfang City will start?"

That's right, when he encountered this popular auction, how could he, Mr. Zhang, not participate? Otherwise, it would be too unfair to his deposit of 100,000 taels of gold.

The shopkeeper, who was about to order the servant to prepare spiritual materials, was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Hmm? May I ask, sir, where did you know this news?" Zhang Wei did not speak, but looked at him with a smile.

At this time, the shopkeeper realized that he had spoken out of turn. How could he ask the customer about his source of information? So he quickly apologized, "Haha... Sorry, sorry, I was just asking out of curiosity. Please forgive me, sir."

He went on to say: “This auction is indeed real, but the invitations haven’t even been sent out, and even the auction venue hasn’t been prepared. They just dug a foundation in the market town, and I didn’t expect the news to get out.

But since you asked, I can give you a date, two months later! I hope you can come and support us then."

The shopkeeper complimented.

Zhang Wei asked, "Do you have a list of the items for the auction? I want to see if there is anything suitable for me, and then decide whether to come. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"

The shopkeeper said: "That's not a problem. If you want, I can give you one for free! But the auction hasn't officially started yet, and the items on the list are all things that have been prepared long ago.

Once the news gets out, all the great foundation-building masters and independent cultivators who have achieved enlightenment will probably bring out some rare treasures to auction. However, due to the time limit for the auction, we have selected the 36 most valuable items after valuation and sent them to the auction house.

So the list of items is constantly changing until the day before the auction starts.

Of course, those unsuccessful lots will not be taken off the shelves. We will hold a trading conference after the meeting for all Taoist friends to trade on their own."

"No problem, bring it here."

After Zhang Wei took the list of spiritual materials and items for auction from the shopkeeper, he left Izumo Market and returned to Yundu City.

In the following period of time, Zhang Wei lived a life of going back and forth between two points.

He went to the Imperial College to report for duty during the day, and returned to his small courtyard in Yundu at night, using his newly-installed waterwheel generator to practice and learn how to make the Moyun Shuttle.

Apart from occasionally taking time to visit his third uncle, Zhang Wei rarely saw outsiders. Even in the Imperial College, Zhang Wei politely declined invitations to cocktail parties from some scholars.

Ever since he opened his spiritual consciousness by committing suicide in Anle Pavilion, he has developed a psychological trauma towards the street of brothels and red houses on Yunyan River.

But in this case, it would be fine if he refused once or twice, but after being refused many times, combined with the fact that Zhang Wei left the table when Feng Jie invited everyone to Anle Pavilion for the first time, a rumor naturally spread in the Imperial College.

Zhang Wei...is that not possible?
The rumor spread so widely that within two days Zhang Wei was called to the house of his third uncle Zhang Hui, where he was examined by the imperial physician specially invited from the palace by Zhang Hui.

Finally, the conclusion reached by the imperial physician was that the second master of the Zhang family had extremely strong kidney energy, was as vigorous as a dragon and as fierce as a tiger, and had extraordinary capacity, and could only be cured by a woman of famous capacity.

When having sex, you need to pay special attention to the intensity and duration, otherwise there is a risk of the beauty dying.

After seeing the diagnosis results, Zhang Hui let Zhang Wei go with peace of mind, and then had someone spread the diagnosis results in an inadvertent way.

For a while, Zhang Wei always felt that there were strange eyes looking at his lower body when he went to the toilet.

And when I turned my head, I saw faces that were hit hard...

During this period, something happened that was related to Zhang Wei.

It is said that the incident in which Zhang Wei caught Princess Hongxia cheating on her husband and jumping into the river at the brothel Hongfang Street has come to a conclusion.

The son-in-law Peng Qing was fine, but Princess Hongxia, the legitimate wife who caught the adulterer, was severely reprimanded by the Emperor Yun for disturbing the people of Yundu, destroying other people's property, and bringing shame to the royal family. She was fined for half a year and ordered to reflect at home for a month as punishment.

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Wei for the time being. He doesn't care much about royal affairs. The reason he pays attention to this matter is because he was an eyewitness at the time.

He now devotes all his energy and energy to studying the formula of the Moyun Suo.

After studying for two months and mastering the theoretical knowledge, Zhang Wei began to refine the Maserati among casual cultivators.

Zhang Wei took out a piece of wood covered with white cloud patterns and began to polish it.

This is the main material for refining the Moyun Shuttle, the Yunling wood that grows on a thousand-foot-high peak.

The characteristic of this spiritual wood is that it has some anti-gravity at an altitude of less than a thousand feet, just like a balloon filled with hydrogen wanting to fly into the sky, and it will not maintain balance until it reaches a height of a thousand feet.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that Yunlingmu has always been the main material used by major forces to refine or maintain large flying boat-type magic weapons, and the Yunshang Sect has also made a fortune by controlling a vast Yunlingmu forest.

Yunling wood is not cheap either. Just a piece of wood as big as a skateboard cost Zhang Wei five taels of spirit stones. Add in other miscellaneous spirit materials, and the material cost of making a Moyun Shuttle is thirty taels.

This is the case when it succeeds. If it fails, the thirty taels will all go down the drain. After all, Yunling Wood is not like metal. If you break it, you can melt it back into its original shape.

Therefore, if a weapon refiner wants to master the method of refining flying magic weapons, the initial material investment cost alone is enough to give a group of individual weapon refiners a headache.

But the benefits of success are also considerable. Once the flying magic weapon is successfully refined, it can be easily sold at a high price several times that of the same level magic weapon.

Therefore, even Zhang Wei was being extremely cautious while refining the food at this moment.

This is all money!

However, as the saying goes, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Even with the assistance of spiritual awareness that far surpassed that of his peers, Zhang Wei still broke one Yunling wooden board after another.

Finally, after sacrificing thirteen pieces of Yunlin wood, Zhang Wei finally completed the first step.

"Finally succeeded, let's move on to the next step."

"Wind-breathing conch..."

"Wind-proof beads..."

"Cloud Heart Stone..."

As Zhang Wei took out each spiritual material, he integrated them into the Moyun Shuttle embryo one by one.

The shape of the Yunling wood also changed accordingly, slowly changing from a piece of tree to a flat one, and finally turning into a wooden board shaped like a surfboard!
However, the tail end of the surfboard is not a rudder, but two "jet nozzles" like a nautilus, which inexplicably provides a scientific theoretical support for this magical weapon with a mysterious origin.

"last step!"

Zhang Wei let out a low shout, and mobilized all the spiritual energy in his body along with his spiritual consciousness, rushing into the embryo of the Moyun Shuttle, fusing the clearly divided spiritual materials into one!

Buzz~~

A buzzing sound was heard, and the spiritual light on the surface of the Moyun Shuttle was completely retracted. The entire magic weapon fell directly from mid-air, but then stopped and hovered at a height of three feet above the ground.

"It's done!"

Zhang Wei was delighted when he saw this, and he jumped up eagerly, engraving his spiritual power mark on the core of the Moyun shuttle. Then he input spiritual power.

swoosh————

A sound of breaking through the air was heard, and Zhang Wei disappeared in the room in an instant, breaking through the roof and flying high into the sky.

When Zhang Da, who was frightened awake, rushed into the house, all he saw was a messy room and a huge hole in the roof with a diameter of three meters.

"Where's the Second Master? Second Master!!!"

Zhang Da shouted in panic, his voice echoing far away in the silent night.

At this time, Zhang Wei, who was unaware that Zhang Da was frightened by his disappearance, was flying the Moyun Shuttle a thousand meters above the sky, enjoying the pleasure of flying.

Looking at the houses of Yundu below that looked like ants, endless pride flashed in Zhang Wei's heart.

"One day, I will stand on the sky with my own strength!"
