Chapter 614 The fish is hooked, it’s time to prepare the net
Since it is a secret auction, the winning bidder will not be announced publicly.
However, those who were present but not notified of the winning bid have already begun mobilizing resources to investigate who the sender of the bid is and who the winning bidder is.
Not to mention that it is the Fire God Festival now, and the forces of various major camps have gathered together, and it is a mixed crowd. Even if it is just the human righteous camp that holds this auction, the majority of people will have ulterior motives afterwards.
Merchants pursue profits, while monks naturally pursue natural treasures.
Zhao Mu did not bid, nor did Yan Hongling. However, judging from Yan Xinian's expression, it was obvious that he had bid, and ultimately failed.
"Husband, what a pity, I failed!"
Yan Xinian hugged Zhao Mu's arm, looking as if she was about to cry, "I'm so sad, can you comfort me?"
As she spoke, the enchantress reached out and climbed onto Zhao Mu's shoulders, revealing a pitiful expression that made people feel pity for her.
but.....
"Go away, stop picking on me."
Zhao Mu directly pried Yan Xinian's hand away and said, "It's late at night, the party is over, and I have to go back to sleep with my wife. You smell like me, do you want me to get kicked? You have no good intentions."
After saying that, Zhao Mu and Yan Hongling left together.
Yan Hongling, who had been silent from beginning to end, stopped and turned to remind Yan Xinian as she was leaving, "Witch of the Hehuan Sect, I'm kindly reminding you not to have any thoughts about Zhao Mu again. If Senior Sister Yan finds out, I don't know if Zhao Mu will be scolded, but you will definitely be beaten. Be careful!"
After saying this, she followed Zhao Mu and left the Sifang Pavilion.
However, Yan Xinian obviously did not take this threat to heart. Instead, she waved at Zhao Mu's departing back and said seductively:
"My dear, if my sister kicks you out of the room, you can come to me~"
"The door of my house will always be open for you."
“…”
Yan Hongling almost staggered when she heard this. She squinted at Zhao Mu and said, "When did you provoke this sticky person..."
Zhao Mu shrugged, indicating that he was also helpless.
He also wanted to get rid of this witch, but he just didn't have the ability to do so.
kill?
He is not a madman. People say Xinian is really nice to him, but he can't do this.
Moreover, even if one wanted to kill, the probability of success would be infinitely close to zero. How could a little goblin who was valued by the leader of the Hehuan Sect and could be easily given three drops of the Purple Rhythm Divine Spring be simple?
He even suspected that Yan Xinian's status in the Hehuan Sect was much higher than Yan Qingyue's status in the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
The status of the Hehuan Sect in the cultivation world is not much worse than that of the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, and it can be regarded as a giant in the magic world.
Before leaving Sifang Pavilion, Zhao Mu and Yan Hongling first met up with Xia Ningzhi and Wu Zixu, and they went to the auction transaction office together. Since it was an open bid, there was no need to hide their whereabouts.
The early eighth-level Fire Spirit Snake Gallbladder was quickly served.
However, when Zhao Mu was about to hand over the spirit stones, he was told that he didn't have to pay.
"What does Duanmu Liang mean?"
Zhao Mu stared at the graceful woman in front of him and asked with a smile.
"Whether it's what the higher-ups meant or what Senior Sister meant, I'm not sure."
The graceful woman replied.
"By the way, let me ask you something."
"That's Mr. Zhao's famous saying."
"Do you have any more of that amethyst crocodile skin? Can you get me one? The price is negotiable."
"I'm sorry, Master Zhao, I can't do anything about this. You can ask my senior sister, maybe she can help."
“…”
Got it!
Zhao Mu finally understood that the leg spirit was deliberately throwing out a hook to make him go find her.
Never mind, let's just look for it. In addition to the amethyst crocodile skin, I'd also like to ask about learning alchemy. Can you help me find a guide or some books related to alchemy?
After all, his progress in fire attribute body refining was much slower than that of thunder attribute, making it seem a bit useless.
Thanks to the Phoenix True Flame, the gift from the Phoenix Ancestor's Blood Pool, the Fire Spirit, and the benefits he received from the little phoenix, his innate conditions for fire-attribute body refining are in no way inferior to those of practicing the thunder-attribute body refining of the Heavenly Thunder Brick.
It can be used as a trump card, otherwise it would be a waste.
Of course, the prerequisite is to speed up the progress, and learning to refine pills is a very important step. It not only allows him to refine pills by himself and provide the needs for body refining, but also helps him improve his control over fire energy and even the Phoenix True Flame.
Without staying for too long, Zhao Mu prepared to return to the manor where Hunyuan Taiqing Palace lived with his three friends.
Firstly, he didn't want to be entangled by the evil woman Yan Xinian again. After all, she would also come here to trade.
Secondly, of course I have to go back and wait for news. The bait has been laid, and it depends on when the unscrupulous Taoist priest will take the bait.
If it doesn't work this time, then you have to think of other ways to try again.
Zhao Mu wanted to complete this task before the Fire God Festival.
He had a strong feeling that if he robbed the unscrupulous Taoist priest, he might make a fortune, which would be of great benefit to the Fire God Festival.
"Tsk tsk~"
The moment they left the trading office, Wu Zixu chuckled and said, "Money can really make people's hearts flutter. This Earth Spirit Pearl is going to cause quite a stir. We barely left the house when we were already being scanned by so many divine senses."
"After all, this is a rare treasure that even powerful beings in the Tribulation Realm would be tempted by. This situation is very normal."
Xia Ningzhi chuckled and echoed.
"Let's go back. I picked up so many high-grade spirit stones tonight for free. I'll treat you to some Fire Wine and Bewitching Fire Pheasants. I heard that the Bewitching Fire Pheasants produced in the ancient volcanic group are even more exquisite than the Mud Horned Dragons in the Black Water River Basin. They cost over 10,000 high-grade spirit stones each..."
Zhao Mu was talking with a smile when, as luck would have it, he happened to meet the Deng siblings who were there to trade amethyst crocodile skin.
When Deng Ying heard his words, her face almost twisted with anger.
"Zhao Mu, my things are not that easy to take, humph!"
She swung her ponytail and turned away angrily. If Deng Yue hadn't stopped her, she might have started a fight at the door.
"Tsk tsk tsk~"
Zhao Mu sighed and said, "What a cute fool! I can't bear to get rid of her. Otherwise, I won't have the chance to get so many spirit stones for nothing in the future."
"Ha ha!"
"Ha ha!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zixu and Yan Hongling burst into laughter. Even the dignified Xia Ningzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking that Zhao Mu was such a mean guy. Saying this in front of others was like stabbing her in the heart with a knife.
Several people left Sifang Pavilion amid laughter and joy.
Nothing happened during that time, and they went straight back to the courtyard where they lived together.
In addition to the Bewitching Fire Pheasant, Zhao Mu also took out the Mud Horned Dragon and some unique ingredients from the Black Water River Basin.
As for the wine, there was the roasted wine he had prepared, and in addition, there was the fine wine that the Ninth Princess brought back this time.
At midnight, a pretty figure suddenly broke in. It was the little girl Wu Shu who had not appeared for a long time.
"Xiaoshu, how is it?"
As Zhao Mu asked, the other three also looked up.
"The fish has been hooked, it's time to get your net ready!"
