After a brief interlude, the auction continued.

There are elixirs with various effects and powerful top-level magic weapons.

Cui Chen was naturally not interested in these treasures, which could only be used by monks in the foundation-building stage. After he got the recipe for the Dingling Pill, he never said anything about it again.

After more than fifty items were auctioned, something appeared on the auction stage that attracted Cui Chen's interest.

He subconsciously sat up straight and listened carefully.

"The following is the sixty-fifth auction item, a mutated fifth-level sand scorpion egg."

With a faint smile on his lips, Lu Junyi looked at the crowd and said:

"I believe all fellow Taoists know about the sand scorpions in the Hurricane Desert, so I won't go into details. I believe all fellow Taoists have their own judgments in their hearts."

"The starting price is five thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit stones."

"Five thousand one hundred spirit stones."

"Five thousand two hundred spirit stones."

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones"

…

Most sand scorpions in the mature stage are fourth-level monsters, but there are also a small number of sand scorpions that can break through the constraints of blood and advance to level five or above.

The eggs laid by the fifth-level sand scorpion are naturally much more likely to advance to the fifth level than ordinary insect eggs.

Moreover, this egg has mutated, which greatly increases its value.

Therefore, once auctioned, the price of this insect egg has climbed all the way to a high price of seven thousand spiritual stones.

Cui Chen used his spiritual consciousness to vaguely explore the insect egg, and found that the egg contained very sufficient vitality.

This discovery made Cui Chen also join the bidding.

"Eight thousand spiritual stones."

Cui Chen directly raised the price by one thousand spiritual stones in an attempt to make other monks quit.

Upon hearing this price, all the monks glanced at Lu Junyi on the stage.

The meaning is self-evident: In order to raise the price at your auction, you actually let the shills drive up the prices crazily. This is too ugly!

[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]

Lu Junyi understood what these people meant, but it was not easy for him to explain, so he could only ask loudly: "Eight thousand spiritual stones at a time, is there a higher price?"

Everyone believed that Zhenbao Pavilion was maliciously raising the price. Naturally, no one was willing to take up the challenge. For a while, the auction house fell into silence again.

Seeing that no one continued to ask for a higher price, Lu Junyi had no choice but to announce that Cui Chen had been awarded the auction.

The moment he dropped the hammer, his heart was bleeding. According to his estimate, this insect egg was worth tens of thousands of spirit stones!

Next, dozens of treasures were auctioned one after another, but Cui Chen didn't react.

Even for the longevity fruit, which was the final treasure, Cui Chen only glanced at it lightly.

As a golden elixir monk who is more than a hundred years old, Cui Chen's longevity is still sufficient, and there is no need to grab the mere ten years of longevity brought by the longevity fruit.

In the end, the longevity fruit was taken away by Lan Bizhu as expected.

After the finale, it was Cui Chen's turn to shoot the three-thousand-year-old ironwood.

"Iron wood that is three thousand years old is an excellent material whether it is used to refine magic weapons or to make puppets. So the base price starts from seven thousand spirit stones..."

"Eight thousand spiritual stones."

Before Lu Junyi finished speaking, a majestic voice echoed through the auction room.

The sound in the arena fell silent again. This voice came from the luxury box No. 7, which meant that the person bidding was a Jindan monk. Unless another Jindan monk participated in the competition, no one would dare to speak.

"Eight thousand spirit stones once."

"Eight thousand spirit stones twice."

"Eight thousand spirit stones three times."

"make a deal!"

Lu Junyi glanced at the box where Cui Chen was and knocked the hammer decisively.

Cui Chen didn't care at all that Tie Mu was auctioned off by Jin Nantian at a low price. This was originally a fishing bait given to him, and sooner or later he would get it back with interest.

After the auction dispersed, Cui Chen received the spirit stones and the treasures at the backstage, and then went straight to a place thirty miles outside Fang City to wait. He left a mark of his spiritual consciousness deep in the iron wood, allowing him to control the gold at any time.

Nan Tian’s whereabouts.

Two days later, Jin Nantian left Fangshi.

However, he did not return to Qianzhu to teach him, but flew quickly towards the east.

"what happened?"

Cui Chen frowned and had no choice but to follow.

…

A few days later, above a sand dune in the Hurricane Desert, Liao Duansheng, Lan Bizhu, and Jin Nantian stood in the air and looked at the endless yellow sand below.

"Fellow Daoist Liao, is the Sand Scorpion's nest you mentioned right here?" Lan Bizhu asked with a frown.

Although she is over five hundred years old, she still looks like a cardamom girl because of the special skills she practices. Her questioning expression at this moment can't help but give people a playful feeling.

Liao Duansheng nodded and said: "There is a monk's cave buried under the yellow sand. Due to the passage of time, a gap was broken in the formation, and it was occupied by two fifth-level sand scorpions, making it a nest."

"I also discovered this cave by chance. Unfortunately, the two beasts came back too quickly last time and only had time to take away the insect egg. If I had given you a little more time, the Spiritual Eye Stone could have been moved away.

."

Liao Duansheng said, his tone full of regret.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist Liao, I have my concubine and Master Jin on this trip, and they will definitely help you kill the two sand scorpions and seize the treasures in the cave." After listening to what Liao Duansheng said, Lan Bizhu's brows suddenly opened and she turned.

And showed a charming smile.

"Yes, with me here, how can you capture two fifth-level monsters with ease?"

Hearing the words of Lan Bizhu and Jin Nantian's vows, Liao Duansheng suddenly laughed heartily, and at the same time assured again: "In this way, we rely on the two Taoist friends. According to the agreement, the two sand scorpion corpses will belong to the leader Jin afterwards, and I will

Then I will give fellow Taoist Lan another longevity fruit as a reward."

After saying that, he took out a bright yellow talisman and slapped it on his body. Suddenly, a yellow spiritual light enveloped his whole body, and then he plunged into the yellow sand like a dragon entering water.

Lan Bizhu and Jin Nantian followed suit and escaped into the yellow sand.

Not long after they disappeared, a red flame quickly flew over and stopped where the three of them stayed.

After closing his eyes to sense the location of the thousand-year-old iron wood, Cui Chen activated the invisibility robe on his body, and then escaped into the yellow sand.

Cui Chen had experience in searching for the Fountain of Spiritual Eyes, and was extremely skilled in hiding underground. He was hanging behind the three of them, neither far nor near.

Less than half an hour later, Cui Chen bumped into an earthy yellow light curtain.

"Array?"

Cui Chen knew the purpose of Jin Nantian and others.

Afraid of being discovered by Jin Nantian using his spiritual consciousness, he had no choice but to grope around to find the entrance.

Fortunately, the area covered by the formation was not large, and the gap in the formation was quickly found.

After confirming again that there was no problem with the invisible breathing, Cui Chen escaped into it.

After his eyes flashed, he saw a big battle taking place inside the cave. On one side were Jin Nantian and three others, and on the other side were two fifth-level sand scorpion monsters, one female and one male.

Seeing these two monsters, Cui Chen immediately thought of the sand scorpion eggs in his spirit beast bag.

Turning his eyes, he saw a Spirit-Qing Fruit tree growing deep in the cave. There were three fruits that were about to mature on the fruit tree. Cui Chen guessed that these two sand scorpions had swallowed the Spirit-Qing Fruit to break through to the fifth level.

Looking down along the Qiling Fruit Tree, he saw a clear spring trickling out, and in the center of the spring, there was a milky-white stone the size of a fist, rolling in the spring.

"Spiritual Eye Stone!"

After seeing this object, even Cui Chen couldn't make up his mind. Owning a spiritual eye stone is equivalent to carrying a cave with abundant spiritual energy with you. The benefits are self-evident.

Cui Chen quickly calmed down his emotions and turned his attention to the battlefield again.

Seeing the three men and two beasts fighting fiercely, he had already made up his mind to be the fisherman who gained.
