Chapter 158 Are You Kidding Me?
Chapter 160 Are you kidding me?
There is a Blood-Cloaked Building in every market town in the State of Chu.
The one in Changshengfang is undoubtedly the headquarters of all the Xueyi Buildings in the Chu State.
Here, there is a large auction every ten days, and its scale is much larger than that in Danxia City.
The next day, in the guest pavilion on the second floor of the Blood Robe Building.
Zhao Qing looked through the gauze curtain at the huge auction hall in front of him. There were many cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage coming and going, and even customers with Foundation Establishment strength...accounted for more than 30%.
The small pavilion is only half a meter square in size, with a black gauze curtain in front that can block the prying eyes of spiritual consciousness.
Unlike Danxia City, the Xueyi Building in Changshengfang does not have a place for guests to stay. The entire second floor is filled with small pavilions like this.
Zhou Xiaoyi's face was cold, her originally loose black hair was tied up behind her, and the gauze dress was changed into a plain white robe, which completely concealed her exquisite figure.
At this moment, she bent slightly and half-knelt on the side of the soft couch, calmly adjusting her robe belt.
Then, as the spiritual energy rippled, two cups of hot water were made.
The green jade fingers pierced into the tangerine, and the pungent and sour juice splashed...
She first soaked the green tangerines in water, then carefully peeled a fruit, divided it into several pieces and held them in her hands.
She raised her snow-white arm and handed over the teacup.
The woman's beautiful eyes swept over Zhao Qing, and a cold voice came out: "This is a fresh tangerine that Xiaoyi made herself. It's called bitter. Brother, try it."
Zhao Qing, who was watching the auction, was stunned.
what's the situation?
He took the teacup in surprise, and then looked at his aunt who seemed a little abnormal.
Did I accidentally get water into my brain last night?
What bitter and astringent taste? I've drunk this tea so many times...
The next moment, Zhao Qing seemed to remember something and slowly widened his eyes.
This scene seems to have happened somewhere...
Danxia City! In the second-floor compartment of the Blood Robe Building!
At that time, my aunt and I were still quite distant...
No, it's very strange.
Zhao Qing slowly smiled, sipped his teacup, and nodded, "Junior Sister Zhou, your tea art has improved quite a bit."
The woman's cold face gradually became softer.
Zhou Xiaoyi passed a mandarin orange slice to Zhao Qing with her delicate hands, and said softly, "It's all thanks to my good training, Senior Brother."
She slowly stood up, raised her hips and sat on the soft couch, her delicate body gently pressed against it, and was fed another slice of tangerine.
The refreshing fragrance hits you in the face.
Zhao Qing only felt heavier than before...
A fresh breath lingered around the tip of the nose, with a hint of sweetness in the oppression. Although I was in the Blood Clothes Tower, it felt like I was in a muddy forest after the rain.
He glanced sideways and asked softly, "When did you apply the perfume? Why didn't I see it?"
My aunt smiled slyly.
"This dress was washed with that scented lotion, but you can't tell Shuyue."
Zhao Qing: ...
What a waste.
He turned around and hugged the delicate body tightly in his arms without any courtesy.
Zhou Xiaoyi felt the man's powerful blood and nestled quietly in his arms.
Her red lips rubbed against her earlobe, and her breath was as fragrant as orchid.
She murmured softly, "Brother...the tea is getting cold."
"If you don't mind, I'll give it to you."
She twisted her delicate body slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then leaned forward with her red lips... kissing each other.
Just at this moment, Zhao Qing's brows suddenly jumped.
The dark energy ripples in the mind, constantly nourishing the soul and body.
A panel appeared before my eyes.
【Sihe】
[Respect each other like guests]
[Gained lifespan: five days]
Zhao Qing: ...
what's the situation?
Sihe is producing grain again?
But my aunt didn’t look like a queen today?
Could it be that... Si He's hobbies are not fixed?
It can also drop randomly! ?
Sensing the constantly rippling Chenghuang Yinhua, Zhao Qing, who had been together for three years, already understood what Si He was thinking at the moment.
There was no need for any telepathy at all. He had seen this kind of scene many times.
If the fox girl spoke at this moment...
It should be: If you like it, keep watching.
Before he could finish his thoughts, the soft voice of the white-haired girl came from his mind: "Hmm... I love to watch it."
……
The auction hall was packed, and at the end of the crimson carpet was a huge stone platform.
A female cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage stood there and took over the next item.
"Five ordinary foundation-building pills."
"The starting bid is 2,000 spirit stones each. Bidding for the first one begins now..."
As she spoke, she took out the pill from the porcelain bottle and carefully held it in her delicate palm.
Cultivators who need foundation-building pills have already developed spiritual awareness and can clearly perceive the quality and state of the pills.
In the auction hall, cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage gradually began to bid: "Two thousand three hundred spirit stones."
"Two thousand three hundred and fifty!"
"Two thousand three hundred and eighty!"
Zhao Qing glanced at the items and found that besides the three Foundation Establishment Pills he had sent for auction... there were others selling them as well. This was normal.
The woman in his arms gently patted his shoulder.
Xiaoyi bit her teeth lightly and broke free from Zhao Qing's restraints.
She breathed softly to calm herself down, and then a cold voice rang out: "Two thousand eight!"
Zhao Qing: ...
In the end, the first Foundation Establishment Pill was sold for 2,950 spirit stones.
My aunt sipped the tea silently, and the red glow on her goose neck gradually faded away.
When the next Foundation Establishment Pill started bidding, she said in a cold voice, "Two thousand six!"
……
The auction of the blood-stained clothes continued until noon.
However, all the rare treasures that Zhao Qing participated in the auction had been sold, totaling 38,000 spirit stones.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyi said softly: "Let's go see the shopkeeper... so that we can go back early and cook for you."
There was a tender look in Zhao Qing's eyes and he nodded slightly.
Xiaoyi's daily life in the past... practiced meditation, played chess, drank tea, and occasionally played the piano and went shopping with the courtesan of Tianxianglou.
Now I have to cook and wash dishes every day, and also wash bedding frequently... What a sin.
The two looked at each other, stood up and left the compartment, heading straight to the small pavilion at the deepest part of the second floor.
The owner of the Blood-Cloaked Building in Changshengfang is named Shen Mo, a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage. He usually sits in meditation on the second floor of the building.
Before this, my aunt had already made all kinds of preparations, so now there is no need to waste time, just follow her.
dong dong dong.
Zhao Qing raised his hand and knocked on the door.
In the small pavilion, Shen Mo looked puzzled.
His powerful spiritual sense swept over and saw a man and woman outside the door, and he had some guesses in his mind.
With a wave of his hand, the restriction was removed and the door of the small pavilion opened.
“You two…?”
Zhao Qing bowed and handed over his blood jade to show his identity.
Then he smiled and said, "Senior Shen, I am here to exchange for guest contributions."
Shen Mo did not comb his hair into a bun like other men. He just let his long hair hang down behind him casually. He wore a loose black robe, which made him look very easy-going.
He glanced at Zhou Xiaoyi, knowing that she would come to the building occasionally.
At this moment, Shen Mo took the blood jade handed to him by Zhao Qing and a smile appeared on his face.
"It's Mr. Zhao. Today's auction hasn't settled yet. I guess Mr. Zhao has other things to do?"
Zhao Qing thought for a moment and exchanged a glance with his aunt.
He whispered, "I want to participate in the garrison assessment in five days."
oh! ?
The black-robed man looked surprised as he examined Zhao Qing from head to toe. He then slowly stood up and said to the cold-looking woman beside him, "Guest Mr. Zhou, right? Wait a moment."
"I'll take Zhao Keqing to the third floor."
Zhao Qing's expression changed slightly, as expected!
The information my aunt had heard from Tianxiang before was correct... the garrison assessment for Xueyi Tower would begin in five days.
He nodded to his aunt, then walked up to catch up with the shopkeeper.
Shen Mo's expression was gentle as he slowly climbed the wooden steps leading to the third floor.
pat.
pat.
"I'm taking you to see a Jindan master. Don't be too nervous."
Zhao Qing sensed the other party's telepathic communication and felt speechless.
Not to mention that he had already made preparations...it was not like he had never seen a Jindan cultivator before, even Zizhu's seventh walk had met him before.
Not to mention that he also carries with him an electronic pet at the level of God Transformation.
Si He: "Get lost!"
Zhao Qing simply ignored the fox girl's anger.
Although his cultivation level is not high, he has seen some scenes. As for a Jindan cultivator... if he doesn't take action, he won't be nervous at all.
However, as he slowly climbed the wooden steps.
Gradually, he felt a unique kind of suppression, his spiritual energy began to flow obscurely, and his spiritual consciousness was sealed around his body and could not be released.
The Qi and blood in the body were churning non-stop, and there seemed to be thunder falling in the heart meridians. As the blood was surging, the meridians all over the body felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Si He's pretty face appeared in my mind, her white hair flying and her bright eyes slightly narrowed.
"The Way of the Blood Robe... I understand!"
Zhao Qing frowned slightly. What do you understand now?
He didn't have the chance to ask because he was already outside a room.
Moreover, Si He has a high level of cultivation. What she can understand, it is difficult for me, a Qi Refining cultivator, to understand.
Shen Mo stood in front of the door and said softly: "Senior Brother."
The next moment, the door in front of him opened silently, and a young male cultivator stood quietly by the window, turned around and looked back.
Zhao Qing looked into his blood-red eyes and lowered his head instantly.
I just felt that the person in front of me was not a cultivator, but a ferocious wolf that would choose its prey.
Those blood-red eyes were not caused by the surging blood and energy from the elixir, but because the other party was practicing at the moment... the vast blood and energy had already left the body.
Zhao Qing had an intuition that if he used Huo Ze Kui at this moment.
What you will see must be a sky full of blood, just like the blood curtain you saw at the foot of Shouyun Mountain that day.
At this moment, he seemed to have opened the door to a new world.
In the past, I only knew that spiritual energy could leave the body and spiritual consciousness could leave the body... I never thought that blood energy could also have such power.
Shen Mo seemed accustomed to this, and chuckled softly, "Senior Brother, Guest Zhao wants to assess his garrison."
The young male cultivator nodded slightly, the blood color in his eyes faded away, and he looked at Zhao Qing meaningfully.
He took the blood jade token handed to him by Shen Mo, and then asked doubtfully, "Which market are you from?"
Zhao Qing felt that the oppressive feeling around him was gradually subsiding, and he felt a little relaxed.
"Senior, I am a guest official of the Blood Clothes Tower in the West Quarter of Danxia City."
"Oh……"
The young man smiled, his eyes moving back and forth between Zhao Qing and Shen Mo, and finally he said softly, "Sit down."
He looked at Shen Mo who was sitting down by himself and said with a smile: "I'm not talking about you, make room for Junior Brother Zhao."
what?
Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, he was not the only one who was shocked and confused, even Shen Mo was a little at a loss.
Junior Brother Zhao!
Senior brother has already determined that this person can pass the Blood Robe’s garrison assessment?
Zhao Qing looked at the soft couch in front of him, gritted his teeth... and sat down directly on it.
Jin Danqing said in a young voice: "My last name is Liu, Liu Zijing."
Zhao Qing lowered his head and murmured, "Zhao Qing greets Senior Brother Liu...!"
Liu Zijing shook his head slightly: "It's not too late to talk about it after you come back from the Changsheng Sword Sect."
"Would you like to meet Cheng Yue?"
Cheng Yue...
It seems that as a member of the Twelve Towers of Yujing, Liu Zijing is very clear about the affairs of Zizhu Tower.
He smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with you, Senior, I was once a disciple of the Danxia Sect."
Liu Zijing continued, "Your foundation is solid, with at least three hundred days of practice. Have you been to the Dan Pagoda?"
Three hundred days?
Who the hell are you looking down on?
Zhao Qing nodded gently, but he was secretly complaining. He knew that the other party had not been peeping into his Dantian, but was only sensing it with his blood and energy...
The young man smiled and said, "If you have any remaining Dao Foundation Pills, you can bring them to the building for auction. I can help you deliver the pills to other Blood Clothes Buildings in Yongning Prefecture."
He said to himself: "I am willing to accept you as my junior brother."
"It's just..." Liu Zijing looked up and grinned.
"Whether you can become a Blood Robe disciple or not is not up to me."
ah!!?
Zhao Qing was shocked and confused. If you don’t have the final say, who has the final say?
He whispered, "Why?"
Liu Zijing frowned slightly: "The way for the Blood Clothes to be promoted... Guest, stationed, Blood Son, walking."
"You are assessing the garrison, and I am the garrison. How can I decide whether you stay or go?"
Zhao Qing: ...
So you are also a garrison commander. I thought the Golden Elixir was different.
He cast a puzzled look at the other party and waited quietly for what would happen next.
Liu Zijing showed a strange smile on his face and looked at Shen Mo, as if he was gloating.
Shen Mo smiled bitterly and said, "The situation in Chu is somewhat special."
"The assessment of Blood Robe...Tianxiang has the final say."
Zhao Qing: ???
Before he could react, Liu Zijing added, "In the Chu State, Xueyi, Jiujian, Liyan... if you want to become a disciple of this third floor, you have to wait for the assessment in five days."
"It's just that... the rules are set by Tianxianglou."
Zhao Qing: ...
What are you teasing me?
