The Tao is far away

Chapter 111 Auction

The auction was held in a giant tower.

The interior of the giant tower is a self-contained space and I don’t know which floor I’m on.

It was dark inside the auction room, with only a ray of light shining on the platform at the bottom.

Surrounding the stage are suspended boxes, distributed in a stepped manner from bottom to top.

A flash of light passed by, and Wang Chi and Qing Luan entered the auction hall and randomly found a box at the back.

The furnishings in this box are also quite strange. There is only a chair and a tatami, not even a table.

Wang Chi sat on the chair and Qing Luan sat on the tatami.

Wang Chi noticed that there were quite a lot of people in the auction house, not as deserted as outside.

The lights on the stage were turned off and the entire auction hall was in darkness.

At this time, rows of gorgeous female cultivators and handsome male cultivators walked into the venue. They stepped on their flying swords and entered the private rooms one by one, as if they had a purpose.

The beautiful female monk leaned in the arms of a male monk who was attending the auction.

The handsome male cultivator gently massaged the shoulders and legs of the female cultivators who were attending the auction.

Soon, bursts of music and singing were heard.

"Oh my god!" Wang Chi was extremely surprised. He didn't expect the people here to be so open-minded.

"Master, is this your first time here?" Wang Chi could only see Qingluan's blurry face.

Listening to the music outside, Qingluan felt embarrassed.

At this time, two monks, a man and a woman, came.

"Do you two need anything from us?"

Wang Chi certainly didn't need it, so he said to the female cultivator, "Go get some fruit, fresh ones."

The female monk breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this customer did not make any other requests. Compared with other sisters, she was very lucky.

"Distinguished guest?" The handsome male cultivator wanted to say something.

"Get lost!" Qing Luan said calmly.

The handsome male cultivator felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and immediately ran away in panic.

"Don't scare people to death." Wang Chi said with a smile.

"Hmph, why don't you do something else at such a young age? Why do such despicable things!" Qingluan was a little angry.

Wang Chi didn't think it was a big deal. There was nothing wrong with being self-reliant.

At this time, the female cultivator came to the box carrying a plate of washed and cut fruits.

The female cultivator stood beside Wang Chi and picked up a piece of fruit to feed Wang Chi.

Wang Chi can't afford this.

"Get out!" Wang Chi took the fruit plate and asked him to leave.

"Can……"

"go!"

Wang Chi ate a few pieces of fruit that he couldn't name, while there was still music and singing outside.

"Eat some fruit." Wang Chi sat on the tatami and said to Qingluan on the side.

Qingluan took the fruit, took a bite, and began to mutter, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come here. It's really disgusting!"

Wang Chi ate the fruit and gave Qingluan a piece from time to time.

After half an hour, the fruit was finished, but the fun was still going on outside.

Another half an hour passed, and the music outside finally ended.

This monk is really fierce, Wang Chi muttered to himself.

At this time, the lights on the platform in the center came on again.

There was a hint of light in the box, but Wang Chi was at the back, so the light was a little dim.

A middle-aged man on the stage cleared his throat and said, "This first item is over. I think you are still not satisfied!"

"However, the second item still needs to start. I'm sure many Taoist friends can't wait!"

The middle-aged man struck the gong: "This is the first lot - Fire Cloud Ring!"

"This Fire Cloud Ring is exactly what the name suggests!"

Wang Chi: "Isn't this just nonsense?"

"This Fire Cloud Ring contains a top-grade magical weapon with powerful attack power. More importantly, it can summon a fire cloud with extremely high speed. It is definitely the best choice for monks who pursue speed!"

"Starting price: eighty spirit stones!"

Wang Chi was somewhat moved, as if this was tailor-made for him.

"Master, this?"

Qingluan knocked on Wang Chi's head and said, "You are stupid. This is just a show-off. The so-called fire cloud is not as fast as the speed of your stepping on the Green Bamboo Sword."

Wang Chi suddenly realized that this was all just a gimmick. It turned out that the knowledge of a Jindan cultivator was beyond the reach of a little Karami like himself.

Just because Wang Chi thinks so doesn’t mean others think so too.

Some monks who practiced fire-attributed techniques almost caused a quarrel in the entire auction hall.

In the end, the Fire Cloud Ring was sold for 230 spirit stones.

"This second lot is a second-level spiritual beast, a three-eyed fox!"

"This three-eyed fox has a strong sense of spiritual energy. It is definitely your best choice for treasure hunting!"

"Starting price: one hundred spirit stones!"

Wang Chi was not interested in this thing. After all, he already had Zi Yue. Although Zi Yue did not show any special magical powers now, Wang Chi did not care.

As long as Zi Yue is cute, that's enough.

But Wang Chi is an incompetent master and always leaves Ziyue to Qingluan to raise.

Time passed by minute by minute, and none of the items were what Wang Chi needed.

Wang Chi was extremely bored and leaned on the tatami, mumbling.

Wang Chi simply closed his eyes and rested, letting Qingluan pay attention.

It is said to be closing your eyes to rest, but in fact it is just sleeping.

Practicing "Dark Moon" made Wang Chi lack energy, which actually hurt Wang Chi's spiritual body. Fortunately, he can recover slowly.

Wang Chi intentionally or unintentionally placed his hand on Qingluan's hand. Qingluan did not dodge in the dark, and the corner of her mouth rose slightly.

"Little bastard." Qingluan muttered.

Perhaps it was because leaning on the tatami was too hard, Wang Chi leaned on Qingluan's shoulder and snuggled up to her.

The fragrance emanating from Qingluan accompanied Wang Chi into his dream.

Qingluan's mind was a little blank at first, but she gradually accepted it and leaned towards Wang Chi so that Wang Chi wouldn't have to worry so much.

Qingluan felt that this was the most beautiful thing in the world.

Qingluan wanted it to go on like this forever and ever.

But Qingluan knew that all this had to be based on a prerequisite, and that was that the two people's cultivation levels were equal.

Qingluan is not worried about the foundation building stage now, but she is worried about the pill forming stage. If this kid stops at the foundation building stage, there is no chance for the two of them.

The difference in lifespan between foundation building and core forming is too great. No one wants their significant other to grow old before them and turn into dust.

So, I must help him no matter what!

Fortunately, this little bastard is also very motivated, so maybe it will be possible in the future.

"It's really exciting!" Qingluan smiled and murmured to herself.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Chi opened his eyes and the auction was still going on.

“Isn’t there one that suits me yet?” Wang Chi rubbed it, but felt something was wrong and immediately bounced away.

"You little bastard, you only know how to sleep. Are you going to take the trial or am I going to take the trial?" Qingluan said unhappily.

"that……"

"Okay, okay, I've already taken a picture for you. It's called the Cloud-Stepping Boots. When you put them on so fast, you can only see the afterimage." Qingluan threw a pair of finely crafted black boots to Wang Chi.

This was sent by a maid after Qingluan took the photo.

Wang Chi was very moved, and the emotion in his heart became even stronger.

"The next lot... three beauty-fixing pills!"

"I don't need to explain this, those who understand will understand!"

"The starting price is two hundred and ten spirit stones!"

Wang Chi's expression changed. Dingyan Pill? This is interesting.

"Two hundred and eight!"

"three hundred!"

"Three hundred and five!"

"Four hundred!"

The price went down to four hundred spirit stones.

"Is there any higher?"
