“If I were you, I wouldn’t do that.”
Just as Yun Ze was about to make his move, a hoarse, familiar voice sounded in his ear.
He turned his head and saw the boss who had just sold him information standing beside him.
Hiss!
Yun Ze gasped!
He hadn't noticed anyone standing next to him at all. If this boss hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have reacted even now.
It seemed he must have something on him that concealed his aura.
Yun Ze took a deep breath, quickly calmed his mind, and said to the boss, "This is my chance."
"This is just your chance to die."
The boss didn't look at Yun Ze, but tilted his head to look ahead. "What do you think that spirit stone you paid to enter was?
Since the Immortal Mansion accepted the money, it wouldn't allow any deaths or injuries within the immortal city!
When your killing intent overflows, at least five Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Core Formation cultivators will be watching you. If you make a move, you will be the first to die."
Yun Ze hadn't considered this before. His brows furrowed, and the killing intent around him gradually subsided.
Indeed, this was not the best time.
He took another deep breath, completely eradicating the killing intent in his heart. He tried his best not to look at the other person, then cupped his fists towards the boss and thanked him, "Thank you for your guidance, senior. If it weren't for you, I would have been one step away from falling into the abyss..."
Before Yun Ze could finish the word "abyss," he found that the white-robed boss had vanished as if he had never appeared! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Where did he go?"
"He left."
Bubu responded from the side, "He left when you were cupping your fists. Of course, with your current cultivation, you wouldn't have noticed."
"...Alright."
Yun Ze replied helplessly, muttering to himself.
This person's temperament was truly strange, not even waiting to hear his thanks.
As he thought this, he pulled Bubu and squeezed into the crowd, walking towards Yu Xian, who was riding on Brother Donkey.
The two arrived beside Brother Donkey and were about to greet him when they found Yu Xian already asleep on Brother Donkey.
He could sleep while sitting?
As expected of you, Brother Yu...
"Brother Yu?"
Yun Ze raised his hand and patted Yu Xian's leg, "Brother Yu?"
"Hmm?"
Yu Xian woke up with a start, then looked around. Seeing Yun Ze and the other person beside him, he smiled and said, "Yo, you're here? Any gains?"
"Yes, you could say that."
Yun Ze replied, but he had no intention of telling him about Chen Xiao. He just gave a perfunctory answer and then changed the subject, "Brother Yu, what are you doing here? Why are so many people here?"
"Oh, this."
Yu Xian didn't care what Yun Ze's gains were. Hearing him mention this, he introduced, "Little Yun, have you heard of... an auction?"
"Auction?"
Yun Ze paused. Having lived in Hanshan Village since childhood, he had never heard this word before, so he could only shake his head.
"Then let me show you the world!"
As Yu Xian spoke, he raised his hand and pointed forward. Surrounded by the crowd, there was a high platform. "Do you see that high platform?
Soon, someone will stand on that platform and exhibit some rare and scarce treasures, allowing everyone to bid and buy. Whoever bids the highest price will get the treasure.
This is an auction."
Yun Ze nodded, feeling that this was the first time he had seen such a format, but he didn't feel anything in particular.
His mind was entirely focused on Chen Xiao later, and he had no interest in this novel method of commerce.
The next moment, the sound of string music suddenly rang in his ears, and all the surrounding noise instantly disappeared.
Yun Ze's spirit was lifted. He turned his head to find the source of the string music, while Yu Xian beside him excitedly patted his shoulder.
"Here it comes, here it comes, look up quickly."
Up there?
Yun Ze subconsciously looked up and saw the moonlight pouring down from the sky, gradually forming a hibiscus flower!
The hibiscus slowly bloomed, and a graceful figure emerged from the center of the flower.
A pink and white long dress spread out in the air, echoing the moonlit hibiscus beneath her feet. The crowd below involuntarily let out sighs of admiration.
Some people even cried out in surprise, shouting and roaring at the sky.
It seemed they were shouting something like... Fu Yue?
Yun Ze couldn't hear clearly; his eyes were filled only with that graceful figure.
As the moonlit hibiscus gradually descended, the graceful figure's toes touched the ground, and she leaped down from the air, landing precisely on the high platform. The string music also stopped.
The roaring also ceased.
Yun Ze could finally see the appearance of the graceful figure clearly. If he were to describe her in one word, it would be... enchanting! An almost extreme form of enchantment!
Her features were not particularly beautiful, but her eyes seemed to be able to captivate the soul. One glance was enough to make her unforgettable.
After she landed, the high platform began to rotate slowly, as if to better display her to the crowd.
The corners of her mouth curved slightly, and her voice was not loud, but it could easily be heard throughout the venue.
"Good evening, everyone. Fu Yue sees you all again~"
"Fu Yue! Fu Yue!"
"Miss Fu Yue! Look over here!"
"Shh, please be quiet for a moment."
Fu Yue seemed unfazed, maintaining her smile. "Fu Yue needs to start working. If anyone wants to say anything to Fu Yue, please wait until the auction is over.
Now, let's see what the first item for auction is!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, placing a spirit sword on the high platform. "The fifteenth Immortal Gathering Auction, the first item.
A first-tier mid-grade spirit sword, Seeking Wind. The sword is three feet seven inches long, and its main material is composed of Wind Spirit Gold. When infused with spirit energy, it can allow cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to fly with their swords.
If you wish to experience the feeling of flying with your sword beforehand, this item is the best choice!
The starting bid is five hundred first-grade spirit stones, with each increment no less than one hundred spirit stones."
"Six hundred!"
"I bid eight hundred!"
The sounds of bidding rose and fell incessantly, but Yun Ze didn't find it fun.
His mind was entirely occupied by the figure in the black cloak.
"To be able to fly with a sword..."
Yu Xian muttered casually, "It's getting easier and easier to make money from refining artifacts these days. Things with no offensive power can be sold at such high prices."
Hearing Yu Xian's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Yun Ze!
That's right!
Offensive power!
According to what the boss just said, deaths and injuries are not allowed in the immortal market, but theft is not forbidden!
As long as he no longer harbored killing intent towards Chen Xiao and simply went to take something, wouldn't that be within the scope permitted by the Immortal Mansion?
"One thousand two hundred!"
Another bid was heard, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Fu Yue saw this and also parted her red lips, slowly speaking, "One thousand two hundred spirit stones once... One thousand two hundred spirit stones twice!"
"One thousand two hundred spirit stones thrice, sold!"
"Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. After the auction ends, Fu Yue will personally deliver the Seeking Wind to you."
Yun Ze's mind was no longer on the auction.
At this moment, everyone's attention was on the high platform. Even if he moved closer to Chen Xiao, not many people would notice.
This was undoubtedly the best opportunity!
Yun Ze handed the lantern in his hand to Bubu, then said to Yu Xian, "Brother Yu, I think I saw an acquaintance. I'm going to say hello. Please help me look after Bubu!"
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Yu Xian didn't notice anything strange about him. He was still looking at the high platform, as if waiting for something.
Yun Ze turned around and infused spirit energy into the Shadow Chaser, suppressing the killing intent in his heart, and gradually approached Chen Xiao.
At this very moment, Fu Yue's voice rang out again.
"Next is the second item for auction, a first-tier spirit pill, the Soul Condensing Pill!"
"This item has two effects. For the living, it can condense the soul and strengthen the divine sense. For soul spirits, it can enhance their soul power and awaken memories of past lives."
"The starting bid is two thousand first-grade spirit stones, with each increment no less than two hundred spirit stones."
After Fu Yue finished introducing the second item, Yun Ze was less than two meters away from Chen Xiao.
At this time, he had no intention of listening to what Fu Yue was saying, but carefully continued to approach Chen Xiao.
One meter!
Half a meter!
Less than a foot left, and he could touch Chen Xiao's cloak with his hand!
But just as Yun Ze was about to make his move, Chen Xiao suddenly raised his hand!
"Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!"
At this instant, Chen Xiao himself lifted the cloak. And Yun Ze, who was waiting nearby, personally saw something.
A waist drum.
A pair of waist drums, the size of a human head, were hung on both sides of his waist.
Fine patterns were printed on the drum surface. If one looked closely, they would find that they were no different from human skin.
"Hoo..."
Yun Ze exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Killing intent erupted once more!
