Chapter 691: The First Auction in the Spirit World
Among these people, there were three boys with pigtails , white teeth and red lips, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. They were dressed in uniform short clothes and kept moving in front of the tables, serving cups of spiritual tea or plates of spiritual fruits from time to time.
Ming Zun paused for a moment, then walked towards the tea stall with Ye Changsheng and four others.
When the foreigners in the tea stall saw newcomers coming, many of them turned their eyes and looked towards Ye Changsheng and others.
As a result, after most people found that their spiritual thoughts could not see through the cultivation level of this group of people, their faces changed drastically, and they quickly retracted their gazes, replaced by expressions of awe.
"The Great Mahayana Ancestor!" Someone whispered in a low voice.
Ye Changsheng glanced around and saw that the cultivators in these tea stalls were basically at the Nascent Soul stage.
When Xue Ling saw this scene, he seemed to recall something and said softly to Ye Changsheng:
"Senior Ye, this should be the reception area of the Chamber of Commerce. All outsiders who come to the auction must wait here for someone from the Chamber of Commerce to personally pick them up."
Arriving in front of the tea stall, Mingzun waved his hand and sent a message.
After a few breaths, a pleasant heavenly sound suddenly came from above the greenhouse, and countless white runes rushed out. After spinning around , they turned into a giant white jade plate.
Then the disk began to vibrate, and a light array emerged out of thin air. A figure inside flashed, and a graceful purple figure appeared.
"The guiding messenger!"
Someone uttered something in a low voice, and immediately everyone under the shed was in an uproar, their eyes all turned to look at the jade plate.
The figure on the jade plate was a graceful woman in purple palace dress. Although her face could not be seen clearly because of a veil, anyone who saw her for the first time would feel their heart beating fast.
As soon as the woman in purple palace dress appeared, she glanced downward, and after a brief glance, her eyes fell on Ye Changsheng and his group.
"Greetings, Mr. Chief Deacon!" She bowed gracefully and saluted to Ming Zun, while looking at Ye Changsheng and the other four with curiosity.
"The Chief Deacon of the Merchant Alliance? Could this be him?"
…
There was a sudden commotion in the tea stall, and those foreign monks looked over here with awe.
"Feiyun, these are several fellow Taoists from the human and demon races. You must entertain them with the highest standards and not show any neglect!" Mingzun said solemnly.
The woman in palace dress was startled when she heard the words. She immediately understood the identity of the person who came and became more cautious.
She quickly bowed respectfully to Ye Changsheng and the others, and said, "Junior Feiyun greets the seniors. Next, I will take you to the Tianzihao VIP Room!"
"Brother Ye, the auction is about to be held, and I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you, Brother Ye!" Ming Zun turned around and said.
Ye Changsheng said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Mingzun, please go and get busy!"
Ming Zun nodded, and disappeared in a flash.
"The great master of both the human and demon races who could be treated like this by Ming Zun, could it be that..."
When the foreign monks in the tea stall heard this, there was a look of disbelief in their eyes, and they all found it unbelievable.
Today I am fortunate enough to meet such a powerful being in the spiritual world?
"Please come in, seniors!" The purple-clothed woman slightly tilted her body and took the initiative to move to the edge of the jade plate.
Ye Changsheng and the others shook their bodies one after another, and then they all flew onto the jade plate.
The purple-clothed woman then made a hand gesture, and the jade plate spun around, and the light array appeared again.
After a burst of spatial fluctuations, the group of people and the jade plate disappeared at the same time.
When Ye Changsheng and others reappeared from the void, they were already in a magnificent hall.
This hall is several acres in size, but in the middle there are several giant jade plates that are exactly the same in appearance.
"This is an independent space, one of the bases of the Merchant Alliance. The auction is not far away. Seniors, please follow me!"
The purple-clothed woman explained a few words with a smile, then led Ye Changsheng and the others forward.
Before long, the five of them were in a room that looked like a box and was decorated in an extremely elegant style.
The entire box is more than ten feet in size, with an almost transparent light curtain in front. Looking out from it, one can see a giant square from a high vantage point.
The square was surrounded by densely packed stone chairs and a large number of people.
At the edge of the square is a circle of light silver stone houses suspended in the air more than ten feet high. Golden runes are faintly visible on each surface, and people outside cannot detect any movement inside at all.
Ye Changsheng and others happened to be in one of the flying houses. Obviously, this was a place that only Mahayana ancestors could enter.
Judging from the number of these stone houses, there are quite a few Mahayana ancestors who can come to the Helian Business Alliance auction.
The Helian Business Alliance Auction is worthy of the title of the number one auction in the spiritual world!
"There are still too many Mahayana people in the spiritual world!" Ye Changsheng muttered in his heart.
At first glance, the arrangements made by the Helian Business Alliance do not seem to be much different from ordinary auctions.
But in fact, from Ye Changsheng's perspective, many of the arrangements at the auction venue revealed some techniques that only exist in the fairy world.
All these demonstrate the profound heritage of the Helian Merchant Alliance.
And more than a thousand feet above the square, there were groups of colorful clouds floating in the sky, and countless black armored soldiers were hidden in them.
And all kinds of prohibition waves filled the entire sky, covering the entire square.
Looking higher up, above the colorful clouds, there is a magnificent palace building. Although it is a little blurry, from time to time, sounds like heavenly music can be heard, giving people an inexplicable sense of relaxation.
"Your alliance has prepared so many backup plans. It seems that you really attach great importance to this auction." After watching for a moment, Ye Changsheng said to the purple-clothed woman beside him.
"The reason why our alliance is so cautious is because the treasures being auctioned this time are far from comparable to those in the past!"
“There are even two or three things that can suppress and delay the arrival of the great calamity. We have to be on guard against some seniors having bad thoughts.” The purple-clothed woman said with a chuckle.
"With the strength and reputation of your alliance, is there any fellow Taoist who dares to steal your things?" Yin Yue asked with a slight smile covering her mouth.
"In the face of a great calamity, some people can do anything. We still have to be prepared for the worst!" said the purple-clothed woman with a wry smile.
Yin Yue nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
Because of Ye Changsheng, these people did not feel so deeply about the great tribulation, and the tribulation did not force them to do anything.
But when it comes to other Mahayana in the spiritual world, the situation is different.
There is no comparison between people.
"By the way, Lord Mingzun also told you that if you want to go to the Blood Sky Continent, you don't need to bid for the spots on the inter-continental teleportation array later. The Merchant Alliance will give you five spots!"
The purple-clothed woman spoke quickly, as if she remembered something.
"As for this matter, thank you very much, Brother Mingzun!" Ye Changsheng said with a slight nod.
It seems that the service of Helian Business Alliance is quite considerate, and the travel expenses were also reimbursed.
One spot on the inter-continental teleportation array costs nearly 100 million spirit stones, and for five people that would be 500 million spirit stones, which is not a small amount.
"It seems that what the Helian Merchant Alliance wants me to do is the battle with the powerful people from the underworld!"
"Haha, I'm quite interested in ghost cultivators. This time I'll have a chance to see them for myself!" Ye Changsheng thought to himself.
After a moment of silence, the purple-clothed woman saw that Ye Changsheng and the others were not interested in talking, so she said tactfully:
"My dear seniors, the auction is about to begin. I still need to take care of some things, so I won't stay here any longer."
"Fellow Daoist, just mind your own business!" Yin Yue waved her hand and said casually.
Upon hearing this, the purple-clothed woman bowed, said a few words of apology, and then left the stone house.
"It's no wonder that the Helian Merchant Alliance is so cautious about the treasure that can delay the great calamity." Xue Ling let out a long breath and said with a look of anticipation.
She thought of her original body, and wondered what state it was in now.
But no matter what realm one is in, one will definitely desire these things that can delay the great heavenly tribulation.
This time, I got a lot of spirit stones from Xu Qianyu and the Xu family.
Xue Ling thought to himself that he could try to bid for a few items that could help him avoid the heavenly calamity.
"I'm afraid that most of these Mahayana monks come here for things related to transcending tribulation!" Miaoyu said lightly.
After about half an hour, the huge square was finally full of people, and tens of thousands of aliens above the Nascent Soul stage had gathered here.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom" in the center of the empty square, and a stone platform emerged from below.
A light array appeared on the stone platform. After a flash of light, an old man with red hair appeared on it.
The old man had a smile on his face and his appearance did not look particularly outstanding, but the moment he appeared, a solemn atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire auction hall.
Some powerful alien warriors who were whispering to each other were suddenly startled and looked at the stone platform without saying a word.
"I am the Mingzun, honored to be the head of this business alliance on this continent. Hehe, I don't think I need to introduce myself in detail, many Taoist friends know my background very well."
"I will personally host this auction, so I won't elaborate on the rules. I hope you fellow Taoists won't do anything that would embarrass our alliance!"
"Okay, now I declare the auction to begin." After looking around, the red-haired old man said a few words lightly and immediately announced the start of the auction.
After he finished speaking, bursts of whispers were heard from all around the square and even in the floating silver stone house.
"This auction is actually hosted by Ming Zun himself!"
"How many years has this not happened?"
"This is incredible! Now I am even more interested in the next auction!"
