Chapter 2140 Ancient Means

He left very decisively.

Not long after Bei Jue left, other forces came to visit.

To this.

Shen Changqing also came out to meet them one by one.

These forces, like the Ancient Wasteland Holy Land, all aim to recruit him into their forces.

After all, a wandering divine monarch, and a third-rank master of talismans at that, would be a popular commodity no matter where he is. If he could be recruited, the benefits would be self-evident.

But unfortunately.

Shen Changqing rejected all these offers without hesitation.

joke.

Joining these forces is restricted in every way and it is not as comfortable as being a casual cultivator.

Come on.

If he joined these forces, the interests of Honglingfang City would definitely be divided up. In this case, not only would there be no benefit for him to join these forces, but there would be only disadvantages.

With Shen Changqing’s current strength, there is no need to rely on the protection of these forces.

When these forces were rejected, some made threats directly on the spot, some appeared expressionless but were secretly furious, and some even tried to persuade the enemy with kind words and explained the severity of the situation.

But no matter what, Shen Changqing remained unmoved.

…

“He is just a casual cultivator and he doesn’t know what is good for him. It is an honor for him to be recruited by my Shangguan family, but he dares to refuse!”

After returning to their residence, a cultivator from the Shangguan family said angrily.

The other monks also had angry looks on their faces.

They had just run into a wall with Shen Changqing. The clan’s divine elder personally came forward to recruit them, but was rejected outright by the other party. This made them feel that they had lost face.

Only the middle-aged man in a black robe sitting there remained silent.

After everyone finished speaking, he slowly spoke.

“That Hongling Patriarch was able to reach his current level as a casual cultivator, so it’s normal for him to be arrogant. The Shangguan family is now in decline after all, and is no longer what it used to be.

With his strength, even if he could establish a sect in the ancient wilderness, the probability of success is not high!”

After hearing what the other party said, the anger on their faces subsided a little. Even if some of them were dissatisfied, they did not dare to refute.

It’s very simple.

This is because the person in front of him is named Shangguan Xinghe. Not only is he an elder, but he is also one of the only three gods in the Shangguan family.

In front of this person, other monks can only bow their heads.

“The Shangguan family is no longer the same as before. With the death of the Divine Emperor and the loss of the family’s honor, they can only live in places like the Ancient Wasteland. We, the descendants of the Shangguan family, should take it as our responsibility to return to the Great Soul State.

An ordinary God Lord is certainly not worthy of the Shangguan family’s personal recruitment, but a third-rank master of talismans has the qualifications to do so.

Such strong men have their own pride, and it is absolutely impossible to recruit them successfully in one go.

However, this time many forces came forward to recruit, and Hongling Market also fell into the eyes of these forces. The old man of Hongling refused everything, and it was estimated that he was in trouble.

If that time comes, my Shangguan family will step in to recruit, and the chances of success will increase greatly.”

Shangguan Xinghe has a thorough understanding of many things. He believes that it is better to provide timely assistance than to add icing on the cake. When the other party is desperate, there is naturally no possibility of refusing the Shangguan family.

If he were an ordinary god, it would not be worth Shangguan Xinghe’s efforts to recruit him.

But a third-level master of talismans is worth it.

Speaking of this.

Shangguan Xinghe looked at them indifferently, and said in a slightly cold tone: “Recruiting the Red Ridge Patriarch is an important matter for the family. It’s okay for you to say some things in secret, but if you destroy the family plan, you should be aware of the consequences.”

“yes!”

“Don’t worry, Elder Xinghe. We won’t talk nonsense!”

Several people were startled when they heard this and replied hurriedly.

…

There is an undercurrent in Hongling Market.

But for ordinary monks, there was no impact and the auction time arrived as scheduled.

This day.

A large number of monks entered the Hongling Chamber of Commerce.

In the second layer, Duan Jing deliberately used great means to open up a small world in order to accommodate many monks to participate in the auction.

In the small world.

There are pavilions and towers everywhere.

Every monk who participates in the auction has his own independent residence, separate from other monks.

at the same time.

There are virtual image projections in every hall, which clearly display the auction scenes. As for bidding, bids are made directly by sending jade talismans.

The purpose of this practice is simple, which is to ensure absolute confidentiality.

After all, for a strong person, his spiritual power is extremely powerful, and it is difficult to conceal his identity even if he hides his appearance. Only this kind of bidding method can completely eliminate the possibility of leaking his identity.

And then there is.

Each hall has a random number as a form of identity verification.

“This kind of auction method is very rare!”

In the hall specially prepared by Duan Jing, Shen Changqing looked at the illusory scene in front of him and the communication jade talisman in his hand, with a little surprise on his face.

This was the first time he had heard of opening up a small world as an auction scene.

At this time.

The shadow of Qing Yi appeared.

From virtual to real.

Just like a normal old man.

“This auction method is the most common method in ancient times. After all, any cultivator who can participate in the auction has a high status and naturally cannot be treated arbitrarily.

I just didn’t expect that after so many years, Youming would still continue to use this method!”

Qingyi’s expression was calm, he was already used to this kind of method.

“It turns out to be an ancient method!”

Shen Changqing nodded slightly.

Then.

His spiritual consciousness spread out, and soon he took in everything in the entire small world.

There are many restrictions in this small world. Even if an ordinary god explores with his divine sense, the restrictions will be triggered automatically and thus be noticed by others.

But Shen Changqing’s spiritual power was too strong. In his eyes, this kind of restriction was the same whether it existed or not, so there was no possibility of it being triggered.

Under the cover of divine consciousness.

Shen Changqing saw clearly how many monks were participating in the auction this time.

130,000 monks!
The weakest among them are at the Divine King level.

The vast majority of cultivators are at the level of God Lord, and there are not many remaining God Sovereigns.

People like Bei Jue and Shangguan Xinghe whom we met before were all on the list.

See here.

Shen Changqing could only sigh again that the background of the Netherworld was indeed extremely terrifying.

Just an auction can attract hundreds of thousands of powerful people, the weakest of whom are God Kings, and most of them are at the level of God Lords.

Any god, placed in the heavens, can create a clan of gods.

That is to say.

If all these gods were in the heavens, there would probably be tens of thousands more gods in the heavens.

now.

The auction has begun.

As the official president of the Chamber of Commerce, Duan Jing naturally became the host of this auction. After all, this auction was of great importance and only he could control the situation.

“The Heavenly Spirit Pill is a top-notch Divine King-level elixir. When taken by a Divine King, it can improve his cultivation and increase the probability of a successful breakthrough a little bit!”

“The starting price is one piece of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone. Each starting price cannot be lower than one piece of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone!”

As Duan Jing finished speaking, most of the cultivators remained silent, and only some God Kings made bids to compete.

Although the Tianling Pill is good, it is ultimately only a God King-level elixir. Its effect on the God Lord is extremely limited, but it is quite necessary for some God Kings.

Shen Changqing watched the auction of Tianlingdan and had no intention of intervening.

God King Pill.

Even the top-notch divine elixir is completely useless to him.

Not to mention improving one’s cultivation, even being able to recover some of the consumed immortal energy is just a pipe dream.

no way.

The level of the Divine King Pill is too low, and the power it provides is not as useful as Shen Changqing simply breathing in a few breaths of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The price just kept rising, and finally the price of Tianling Pill was fixed at eight high-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones, and it never increased again.

Immediately.

Duan Jing immediately made the final decision and determined the ownership of the first auction item.

Then.

The second and third items are auctioned.

The news of the Hongling Chamber of Commerce’s auction spread, attracting a large number of cultivators. Many cultivators wanted to take this opportunity to sell some things they had no use for a high price in exchange for cultivation resources.

You have to know that with more competitors, some things will naturally have a premium.

Even though the Hongling Chamber of Commerce does not accept everything, the minimum required is one top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone, and there are also a large number of items for auction.

Two days.

It basically passes in the blink of an eye.

During these two days, items being auctioned were all from other monks.

Shen Changqing had no use for most of the things. Only when the fur of a god-level underworld beast appeared did he step forward and take it down.

Although there was a bit of a premium on the price, Shen Changqing didn’t care much.

After all, drawing talismans can be considered to be extremely profitable. Even if some materials are purchased at a premium, it will not have much impact on Shen Changqing. At most, he will earn a few less Netherworld Spirit Stones.

To other cultivators, a few pieces of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones are extremely precious, but in Shen Changqing’s eyes, a few pieces of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones are nothing at all.

“It’s almost time for the main event!”

Looking at the phantom in front of him, Shen Changqing silently estimated that the time was about right.

The auction lasted for two days without interruption. Most of the items that had belonged to other cultivators in the early stages of the auction were sold out, and the only items left were the Divine Lord’s talismans.

During the two-day auction, many cultivators made bids, but most of them remained calm. Shen Changqing knew the purpose of these cultivators without even thinking about it. They must have come for the talismans.

As expected.

Not long after Shen Changqing finished his thought, several items were auctioned off. Duan Jing flipped his hand and a brocade box appeared in front of many cultivators.

“I believe that the purpose of everyone coming to my Hongling Chamber of Commerce to participate in the auction is to obtain the Divine Sovereign Talisman. Now it’s time to get down to business!”

While talking.

Duan Jing opened the brocade box, and a talisman appeared in front of many cultivators.

Even though they were separated by a phantom illusion, these cultivators could feel the terrifying aura contained in the talisman, as well as the rules of Taoism that permeated every stroke.
