"Master, you're feeling uneasy. What happened?" Weeping Soul opened its eyes and asked.
"Weeping Soul, pay attention to the six people in that room. It's best to find out their identity and their purpose for coming here," Han Li said telepathically.
Weeping Soul didn't understand Han Li's intention, but it still nodded and paid attention to the room.
Right at that moment, the door to the private room opened, and a Daoist nun in a dark green robe walked in with Lan Mei.
This nun was a Zenith Heaven cultivator. She looked quite young and her cheeks were as red as a lotus. She exuded a fragrance as she walked. She didn't seem to be a human cultivator, but a plant spirit in human form.
"Greetings, Sect Fellow Shi. I'm a deacon elder of the Sun Moon Pavilion. You can call me Lotus Fairy."
The nun glanced at the Thunder Stones next to her. Her eyes brightened but she quickly withdrew her gaze and smiled at Han Li.
"You're welcome, Lotus Fairy. Can the Sun Moon Pavilion afford my Thunder Stones?" Han Li nodded and asked.
"You must be joking, Sect Fellow Shi. Even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of Thunder Stones, my Sun and Moon Pavilion would still be able to afford it," Lotus Fairy Maiden said with a smile as she tucked her hair behind her temples.
"The Sun Moon Pavilion is indeed rich. Lotus Fairy, please give me an estimate." Han Li raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Lotus Fairy Lady's gaze swept across the dozen or so Thunder Shocking Stones, and she quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Sect Fellow Shi, the quality of these Thunder Stones is extraordinary and the quantity is not small. How about this, each Thunder Stone is worth 1.5 million Immortal Meta Stones. You have 13 of them, so a total of 19.5 million Immortal Meta Stones. How about 20 million Immortal Meta Stones?" Lotus Fairy calculated and said with a smile.
Han Li had already inquired about the price of the Thunder Stones. He thought it would be good if it could sell for 15 million Immortal Meta Stones. Now that it was sold for 20 million Immortal Meta Stones, he naturally had no objections.
"Lotus Fairy, you're very good at doing business. I still have some materials to sell."
Han Li waved a hand through the air to summon a pile of materials. These were the leftover items that he hadn't been able to get rid of after clearing out all of the materials in the branch space.
He put these things on sale in the Samsara Temple but he didn't sell much over the years. He might as well sell them all today.
"Sect Fellow Shi, these things are quite messy but there are a few good things.
How about this, I'll take them all. How about 4 million Immortal Meta Stones? "Lotus Fairy glanced and said.
Han Li didn't haggle over the price and nodded.
Perhaps he suffered a small loss, but being able to get rid of it in one go saved him a lot of trouble.
After this transaction, Han Li had an additional 24 million Immortal Essence Stones in his possession. He had almost earned back what he had just spent, so he was in a very good mood.
After the Lotus Fairy finished her business, she did not stay any longer and quickly left with Lan Mei.
"Master." After the two left, the Weeping Soul Beast immediately called out to Han Li.
"What did you find?" Han Li asked.
"Those people didn't talk during this period of time so I didn't get any information. However, I know the identity of one of the six people. You know him too," Weeping Soul said.
"Oh, who is it?" Han Li asked.
"It's the Lan Yan we met in the Time Immortal Mansion." Weeping Soul answered.
"Lan Yan?
Are you sure? "Han Li was startled.
"There's no mistaking it. I was only focused on the soul fluctuations of the bidder and didn't pay attention to the others. Just now, I carefully examined the other five bidders, and one of them is definitely Lan Yan's soul fluctuations," Weeping Soul said with certainty.
Han Li nodded. He knew that Weeping Soul was very sensitive to soul fluctuations.
Lan Yan was from Jiuyuan Temple. The other five people were most likely from Jiuyuan Temple too. But why were they here?
"Continue to check the movements of those people. Let me know if you find anything." Han Li said to Weeping Soul.
"Don't worry, master. The restriction in their room can't block my senses." Weeping Soul promised.
Han Li handed those people over to Weeping Soul and continued to watch the auction.
Time passed quickly. Soon, more than ten rounds had passed.
"The next treasure is a peak Primordial Unity Three-legged Golden Crow beast core. It contains endless fire power. It can be used to refine immortal tools or cultivate with fire elemental energy.
The starting bid is 3,000,000 Immortal Meta Stones. Each bid must be at least 100,000 Immortal Meta Stones. "
The fat old man announced another auction item. It was a golden red beast core the size of a bowl. It emitted a dazzling light like the sun.
Han Li's eyes lit up. This was the item he wanted to buy for Child Flame to recover.
Although this Three-legged Golden Crow's beast core was considered a rare treasure, it paled in comparison to the other treasures. It was slightly ordinary, so basically no one in the VIP seats made a bid. Most of the people who participated in the auction were the people in the venue below.
Han Li slightly raised the price to suppress the people below and bought the item for 5,000,000 Immortal Essence Stones, then tossed it into the flower branch space.
The body of Child Flame flickered and he transformed into the form of a Flame Bird. He swallowed the beast core in one gulp. After a few happy cries, he flew into the depths of the branch space to refine the beast core.
At this moment, the next auction item was placed on the auction stage. It was a long black jade box. It was covered with talismans and sealed tightly. However, there was still a cold ghost power seeping out of the jade box.
Han Li's eyes narrowed. He sat up slightly. The Weeping Soul beside him was also surprised and looked at the jade box on the stage.
The fat old man chanted and made a gesture to break the seal on the jade box. He opened it and revealed a black short flute. The flute's thickness was not very uniform. It seemed to be made of a leg bone. There was a skull on one end of the flute. It looked extremely evil.
A powerful and cold ghostly force burst out from the top. The ghostly force was mixed with a strange howling sound, which made people feel as if there was a saw pulling and grinding in their minds, cutting their souls. It was so uncomfortable that they almost vomited blood.
The fat old man hurriedly waved his sleeve. A white light rose from the auction stage and formed a white light curtain that covered the black short flute. The people under the stage felt a little better.
"The next treasure is called the Soul Crusher Ghost Flute. It's also a supreme treasure of the Ghost Dao. It's a Grade Four Celestial Artifact personally refined by the founder of the Myriad Ghost Sect, Venerable Mud Li. However, Venerable Mud Li was defeated by the Grand White Sword Sect's Fairy Murong in the Battle of the Netherworld Sea. The Soul Crusher Ghost Flute was damaged and fell to Grade Five. However, its power still far surpasses ordinary Grade Five Celestial Artifacts.
As you can see, this flute is too powerful. Its main effect is to attack the soul. It is not suitable to show it here. Let's start the auction. The base price is 10 million Immortal Meta Stones. Each increment must be no less than 500,000. "The fat old man introduced the black short flute and announced the start of the auction.
Han Li was happy at first, but then he frowned.
This black short flute was the second immortal artifact that the Weeping Soul wanted. However, the jade slip only said that it was an immortal artifact that attacked the soul. He didn't expect it to be so powerful. It was actually a Grade Four Immortal Meta Stone.
In this case, the price of this treasure would be much higher than the Nether Ghostclaw. Although he had about 40 million Immortal Meta Stones with him now, he might not be able to get it.
As Han Li was thinking, the auction had already started. In just a few rounds, the price had risen to 20 million.
"25 million!" Han Li raised his hand and raised the price by 5 million.
He didn't have enough Immortal Meta Stones with him. He could only try to scare off the other bidders.
As expected, when Han Li raised the price, the whole auction hall went silent. Many people were shocked and no longer bid.
"28 million!" A cold voice sounded. It was the person who competed with him for the Nether Ghostclaw.
Han Li frowned slightly and was about to raise the price.
"30 million!" Another cold and arrogant voice sounded. It came from another VIP box.
Han Li looked over and saw a young man in a blue robe sitting inside. He had an extraordinary bearing.
"33 million!" Han Li raised his hand and shouted.
"34 million!" The blue-robed man frowned slightly and looked at the box where Han Li was and said in a deep voice.
"Thirty-six million!" The ice-cold voice sounded again, and it seemed as if it was determined to win.
The blue-robed man's body trembled and he stopped talking.
"40 million!" Han Li shouted.
The crowd was in an uproar. They all looked at the box where Han Li was and discussed.
The memory of Han Li bidding for the Nether Ghost Claw for 30,000,000 Immortal Essence Stones was still fresh in everyone's mind. At this moment, they were all curious about Han Li's identity and amazed at his wealth.
Han Li ignored the crowd and secretly looked at the box where Lan Yan and the others were.
There was no movement from the box for a while. He slowly relaxed.
"Forty-five million!" However, at this moment, the ice-cold voice suddenly rang out again.
Han Li heaved a long sigh of relief as a wry smile appeared on his face.
He said to the Weeping Soul, "Weeping Soul, the other party is wealthier than me. It looks like we won't be able to get the Ghost Crusher Flute."
The Weeping Soul's eyes were closed and it seemed like it didn't hear Han Li's words.
Han Li found it strange, but he didn't disturb it.
At this moment, no one else bid. The fat old man asked three questions and announced the owner of the Ghost Crusher Flute.
Right at this moment, the Weeping Soul Beast opened its eyes, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on its face as it said, "Master, I've heard some important information from those people's conversation."
"What news?"
Han Li was about to tell the Weeping Soul about the Ghost Crusher Flute, but he stopped himself when he heard the Weeping Soul's words.
"I can't repeat it clearly. See for yourself, Master." The Weeping Soul made a hand seal and pointed. A ray of black light shot into the space between Han Li's eyebrows.
A ball of black light appeared in Han Li's mind, then it exploded and turned into an image. It was the situation in the box.
"Senior Jin is really rich. You took such a large amount of Immortal Meta Stones just like that," a man in black said respectfully.
"It's just a few Immortal Meta Stones. It's not worth mentioning," the tall and thin figure said proudly.
"Alright, we've bought what we wanted. We've been delayed for a long time. Let's hurry up and finish our business. If we let that Golden Immortal Devourer escape again, we won't have a good time."
Another petite figure said coldly. It was a woman, but her voice was a little vague.
"Yes, yes …" The others looked rather fearful of this petite figure and hurriedly agreed.
The image was quite short. It flickered twice and disappeared without a trace.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and a strange light flickered in them.
The people of Jiuyuan Temple are trying to capture Golden Immortal Devourer. Could it be that Golden Immortal Devourer escaped from Jiuyuan Temple?
