Chapter 206 Grand Meeting

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the two maids in front of him with a smile and nodded.

"That's right, Yue Juncai, please bring me, the Taoist monk Chu Dan, here to participate in the exchange meeting."

"It turns out that it was Senior Yue who was disrespectful and disrespectful."

Although they have received many Jindan masters these days, they still respect Zhou Yiqiao and the two at this moment.

"Two seniors are coming with me. The exchange meeting will not be held for another three days."

"Now let us take the two seniors to a resting place."

The two maids took Zhou Yiqiao and the two into a side hall, then resigned and left.

The room is elegantly decorated, with tables, chairs and benches all made of pear wood, giving it a hint of antiquity.

Moreover, the spiritual energy in the entire house seems to be slightly purer than the outside world. It is obvious that the formation in this side hall has purified the spiritual energy in the world.

He Yunxi sat down on a soft couch and stretched out.

"The environment of Gusu City is beautiful and the living here is comfortable. No wonder so many monks stay here for a long time and never go back even if they lose their money."

Zhou Yiqiao raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

"A comfortable environment can indeed be beneficial to Taoist cultivation, but if you indulge in it too much, you will eventually lose your original intention to achieve immortality."

He Yunxi chuckled and retorted, which was extremely rare.

"Long-term vision is certainly the ultimate ideal of all monks, but after all, there are many people with mediocre qualifications and short-sightedness who can only focus on the current wish."

After saying that, she looked at Zhou Yiqiao with meaning, but found that Zhou Yiqiao looked indifferent, as if he didn't understand what she was saying at all.

Her eyes darkened, and then she said nothing more and sat cross-legged on a futon, concentrating on practicing her martial arts.

Three days passed quietly. On this day, the hustle and bustle of the entire Gusu City reached its peak in an instant.

In the center of Gusu City, a high platform specially built for this exchange meeting rose overnight. At this time, the high platform was already crowded with people, and the noise even spread outside the city.

Today is the beginning of the exchange meeting. High-level officials from various sects, aristocratic families, and cities who have received invitations from the Nan family gathered together to greet each other.

Zhou Yiqiao and He Yunxi mingled among the crowd, communicating continuously through spiritual consciousness.

"Senior brother, you see, the head of the Nanhua Sword Sect, the head of the Jinhui Wang family, and General Zhang, who commands the Wind and Fire Army of the Chu State, are all masters in the realm of the Golden Elixir. Each of them has at least the Golden Elixir. Later cultivation."

"These people are all the leaders of various forces. They usually have many things to do every day. Now that they can attend the meeting together because of the Gusu Nan family, it is really eye-opening for junior sister."

Zhou Yiqiao slowly shook his head and answered with his spiritual consciousness.

"Junior sister, please don't forget that the reason why the Nan family held the exchange meeting this time is to build momentum for Nan Zheng. It is enough for those sect families to send people to participate, but those people from the imperial court can come here without the permission of the Holy Emperor. How dare you leave your post without permission?"

While the two were discussing, Nan Feilong, the head of the Nan family, came to the high platform.

Nan Feilong wears a brocade robe, has thick black beard and hair, slightly fat cheeks, and narrow eyes, giving people a cold feeling, and has a tall and straight figure.

Perhaps because he has been in a high position all year round, although Nan Feilong only has the early stage of Jindan cultivation, he gives people a very threatening and oppressive feeling.

"Thank you all seniors and distinguished guests for coming to Gusu City. I, Nan Feilong, have used the Nan Family Exchange Meeting to entertain many Taoist friends today. On behalf of the Nan Family, I would like to welcome you all!"

"This exchange meeting consists of three parts, the auction arranged by my Nan family, the trade fair of all my colleagues, and the exchange meeting between you."

"Nan, don't talk nonsense, let's get started directly."

After Nan Feilong finished speaking, he took out a jade slip from his arms. After injecting spiritual power, a huge picture appeared on the high platform.

The scroll is light yellow in color and contains hundreds of scenes. In each scene, there is a treasure located in the center of the picture.

Nan Feilong pulled hard, and the entire scroll was suddenly put away, leaving only one scene in front of everyone's sight.

"Comrades, please take a seat nearby, and then we will start the bidding for the first item."

Nan Feilong acted so resolutely that everyone was caught off guard.

Generally speaking, at this kind of event, there will be an introduction and then the auction will begin.

It is very rare to start bidding directly like this. What's more, the scale of Nan's auction is very large. I am afraid that ordinary treasures cannot attract so many people's interest.

However, since the Nan family dared to make this decision, they must be fully prepared. Everyone followed Nan Feilong's instructions and sat down next to them, patiently waiting for the auction to begin.

Seeing that everyone in the square had taken their seats, Nan Feilong spoke loudly.

"Okay, the first auction item is an ancient puppet."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Feilong stretched out his hand to pull on the scroll, and he suddenly pulled out half of the lot in the scene.

"This puppet is made from the remnant soul of a demon beast in the Golden Core realm. Its combat power is comparable to that of an early Golden Core monk. The base price is 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!"

As soon as Nan Feilong stopped speaking, several exclamations came from the audience.

"This is the first time I have seen such an exquisite ancient puppet. It is also powerful enough. Wouldn't it be great if it could be photographed and used to guard the treasure house at home?"

"Yes, the defensive capabilities of the puppets refined by monks are often higher than the grade. This puppet can at least withstand a full blow from a monk in the middle stage of the Golden Core. It is also a good choice for protecting juniors with excellent talents."

Everyone talked to each other and listed the advantages of this lot one by one.

"One hundred and ten thousand spiritual stones!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand spiritual stones!"

The bidding sounded immediately, and within a few breaths, the price of the sniper puppet was raised to 260,000.

Zhou Yiqiao couldn't help but look bitter as he looked at the few hundred thousand spirit stones left in the storage bag.

After advancing to the golden elixir realm, the price of third-level spiritual objects has increased tremendously. With his current level of refining second-level elixirs, he really doesn't have enough money to participate in such a bidding.

Zhou Yiqiao simply stayed out of sight and out of mind. He sat cross-legged in his seat and closed his eyes to practice.

......

The Nan family has been fully prepared since then. This first round of auctions has been held without sleep for a long time. It is already three days before he opens his eyes again.

"Okay, this last piece of the Kunwu Divine Yue was bought by the Nanhua Sect Master for 3.26 million spirit stones. This auction can be considered a complete success."

"The following time will be a free trading meeting among you. If any fellow Taoist in need can come to the stage for help now."
