Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

What is auctioned are naturally the finest and rare items.

Anle's words just now, "Is there any vacant seat on the sixth floor?" was one of the secret codes for entry.

Not long after we sat down, the auction began.

The host of the auction was the mature woman who still had her charm.

Compared to young girls, this kind of woman understands what men want to see better.

Her name was Qianwen. She was the most beautiful courtesan in this brothel and also the chief auctioneer of this auction.

Anle's sharp eyes had already seen that although this woman looked weak, her blood and energy were actually at the third level of strength, and she was by no means a weakling.

After Qianwen gave some polite words and explained the auction rules, the auction began.

The auction item for the warm-up is a rare Qi and blood elixir, which is of great benefit to the third realm warriors.

The starting price was only five hundred taels of silver, but it was quickly bought for two thousand taels.

The items being auctioned are varied, with common ones including elixirs, precious materials, magic weapons, martial arts techniques... and even living monsters and slaves.

Anle also saw a humanoid demon, which was auctioned for a very high price.

The auction items were not only diverse in variety but also relatively affordable in price, which attracted many people to bid and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Anle didn't have much demand for these things, so he couldn't help himself.

Ordinary magic weapons are of little significance to him and are not as useful as the Void Demon Armor. He is slightly tempted by some precious medicines containing Qi and blood, but when he thinks of the main event to come, he gives up for the time being.

"I won't introduce the engraved version of the method of refining the spirit and condensing the pill. I think you have all heard of it."

"However, the remaining secret method in this engraved book is already very weak. You can only visualize it once at most. Please use your discretion."

Qianwen said slowly, "The starting price is 10,000 taels of silver, and each bid will be increased by more than 1,000 taels. This is a rare opportunity and should not be missed."

As soon as the words came out, the auction house fell into silence for a short time.

The method of refining spirit and condensing elixir is a superior method of condensing elixir.

Only warriors in the third realm would have this need, but most of the warriors in the third realm have actually already determined the method of condensing pills and cannot switch to other practices.

In addition, this copy has been used many times and the number of uses is limited. If you fail to learn it after visualizing it once, then you will lose a lot!

So it sounds very famous and precious, but there may not be that many people who would actually buy it.

After a long while, someone raised his hand and spoke.

"Eleven thousand taels!"

Someone else answered, "Thirteen thousand taels!"

"Fifteen thousand taels!"

Qianwen looked around: "Fifteen thousand taels, is there anything higher?"

"Fifteen thousand taels each time."

Anle said calmly: "Eighteen thousand taels."

This was the purpose of his trip, and naturally he was determined to obtain it.

The so-called "visualization" seems to involve the soul, and it cannot be achieved for free through deduction, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort.

Qianwen looked at Anle in surprise, not expecting that this ordinary customer could come up with so much money.

But out of professional ethics, she still said: "Okay, eighteen thousand taels!"

However, another competitor apparently did not give up and continued to bid.

The two of them kept haggling over the price until Anle offered 25,000 taels, and they finally won the deal.

His total assets were only a little over 40,000, which had shrunk by more than half in an instant. He secretly hoped, "I hope this pill-condensing method won't let me down."

Next, Anle bought some good precious medicines one after another and converted the remaining banknotes in his pocket into actual items.

However, since no magic weapon caught Anle's eye until the end of the auction, he had to give up this idea.

After the auction, Anle handed over the silver note and took out several auction items.

When the meeting was about to end, Qianwen suddenly spoke.

"Regarding the recent incident on the barren mountain, if anyone is interested, please contact me."

"My master is currently gathering people, and everyone is welcome to join."

Hearing this, Anle frowned slightly: "Desolate mountain?"

"What do you mean?"

He had never heard of this.

In the last simulation, Anle simply snatched the engraved book and left, and of course he had never experienced the current situation.

He glanced at the people around him and found that some of them went straight to Qianwen, as if they were discussing something.

Anle silently kept this matter in mind, preparing to collect more information during the simulation and leave the auction house at the same time.

As soon as he went out, he felt like he was being watched.

Anle couldn't help but shake his head, and said to himself: "You brought this upon yourself, you can't blame me."

One has to admit that his unconcealed ordinary appearance has a bit of a sting operation feel to it.

But Jiang Taigong is fishing - those who are willing to take the bait will do so!

So, when Anle left Yanghe City, he had an extra 10,000 taels of silver and some auction items he had just acquired.

From the mouths of those unlucky people, Anle also roughly understood the so-called "barren mountain incident."

In the border areas of Qingzhou, extremely strange and bizarre sights began to appear one after another.

The entire mountain became extremely desolate overnight. The weeds and wild animals on the mountain disappeared, leaving only a bare mountain that looked extremely strange.

Chapter 204: See the Great Wilderness Again

"Ok?"

After hearing such news from the unknown unlucky guy, Anle couldn't help but frown and his expression changed slightly.

Such a strange and bizarre description immediately reminded him of his senior sister Ye Ling'er.

With her talent and ability, it would be no problem for her to eat up a mountain overnight.

But the problem is that although Ye Ling'er is not picky about food, she often doesn't eat everything, because the nutrients brought by some foods are not as much as the energy consumed to swallow them.

"However, Senior Sister may also be affected by the Void."

Anle recalled his state when he first left the void. His mind was almost completely isolated from the outside world, and he also unlocked a strange entry called [Ten Grounds of Immovability].

Although he later survived by chance and with his strong will, Anle will probably never forget that feeling in his entire life.

Even if Ye Ling'er is a Taotie whose realm is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul, there is no telling whether she might be infected by the unknown and do something beyond common sense.

Thinking of this, Anle's mood immediately became solemn, and he prepared to investigate the information related to the barren mountain incident.

******

Before the investigation.

Anle came alone to the wilderness of Yanghe City, found a secluded corner, and released the Qinghong Jade Palace from his sea of ​​consciousness.

There is a hidden magic array in the Qinghong Jade Mansion. As long as a warrior who is not in the fourth or fifth realm happens to pass by here, he will not be discovered.

Anle walked into the room in the Jade Mansion, sat cross-legged on the jade bed, and took out the engraved copy of "The Method of Refining the Spirit and Condensing the Pill" that he had bought at a high price.

He had seen this version of the book once before during his simulation.

The cover is worn and the paper is yellowish. It doesn't seem to be made of ordinary material, and it feels indescribably greasy when you hold it in your hand.

Although printed books are mass-produced, they exude a unique and mysterious aura.

According to auctioneer Qianwen and other third-level warriors, the engraved book comes with something called "secret technique".

Only by absorbing the "secret method" through visualization can one master the "Method of Refining the Spirit and Condensing the Pill".

As a method with a considerable origin, if this engraved copy was in a complete state, it would be worth far more than 25,000 taels.

But the "secret method" he brought with him was almost gone. If he failed to comprehend it halfway through, the consequences would be very disastrous.

The warrior's realm will stagnate here, and he will not be able to switch to other pill-condensing methods. He can only buy another engraved copy to continue practicing.

Even with such a huge risk, the engraved version can still be sold at this price, which is enough to show the extraordinary nature of this method.

Anle did not hesitate and directly opened the tattered book.

There was no text on the engraved book, only a series of strange portraits. The portrait showed a figure that could not be distinguished as male or female, naked, but with no visible physiological signs, only a vague outline.

The portrait looked cheap and crude, like a picture drawn by a child.

The figure struck some odd poses, which changed as the pages turned, forming a complete set of movements.

When Anle saw these movements, a feeling that could not be described in words gradually emerged from the bottom of his heart, and the qi and blood in his body were subtly affected.

The longer Anle stared at the portrait, the more he could not look away, as if he was possessed by it.

Anle seemed to see countless strange meridians from the rough and simple lines, like a huge network, with blood hotter than magma flowing in it. It was as if flames were burning from the figure, making him feel extreme pain.

But in this pain, the figure began to wave his hands and feet wildly, twist his waist, and dance a grotesque dance.

The dancing posture seemed to originate from the untraceable wilderness, which made Anle want to dance to it.

The Qi and blood in his body began to circulate uncontrollably in the complex meridians, causing his body to become hot.

At the same time, a mysterious understanding arose in Anle's heart.

It is not something that can be recorded in any language or words, but something more mysterious that strikes the soul directly.

"The method of refining the spirit and concentrating the pill..."

Roar--

It was as if a roar from the wilderness rang in Anle's ears. Just as he was about to start that wild dance, a biting cold suddenly came over him.

Anle suddenly came back to his senses and turned around to see Xiao Xiaohong hugging him tightly, transmitting the creepy chill into his body.

Xiao Xiaohong looked at him with a worried look on her face: "Anle, no matter how I called you just now, you didn't respond!"

"Are you OK?"

"I am fine."

It took Anle a few seconds to regain his consciousness.

But when I touched my hands and feet, I found that my body temperature had reached an extremely high level unconsciously. This was the result of the automatic circulation of Qi and blood.

If Xiao Xiaohong hadn't reminded him, he would probably have been injured.

"That was just now..."

Anle frowned, puzzled: "I have never heard of anyone experiencing this kind of situation when practicing the Dan Ning method."

Clearly, something was wrong.

Anle looked down again and found that the cover of the printed book had been closed, and the remaining mysterious aura on it had completely disappeared.

He flipped it twice and found that not only that, but even the sticky feel had turned back to normal paper, and the portrait on it had turned into mottled ink stains and could no longer be seen clearly.

"So have I learned it or not?"

Anle looked at the panel.

【Trigger "Taoism is self-sufficient"! 】

[Unlocked Skill: Wild God Pill Condensation Method (Beginner)! ]

"Ok?"

Anle narrowed his eyes. He almost forgot the existence of this entry. He didn't expect it to have such an unexpected effect at this moment.

Combining the word "wild", Anle quickly guessed a possibility.

The origin of this so-called "Method of Refining Spirit and Condensing Pills" may not be in the Da Tai Divine Dynasty, but originated from the "Wild World".

It was only due to various coincidences that it became a method of condensing elixirs and was passed down from generation to generation here.

Coincidentally, Anle possessed the two entries [The Gaze of the Wilderness] and [The Tao is Self-Formed], so he was able to glimpse some scenes that he shouldn't have seen, and thus unlocked this skill.
