Chapter 40: Intelligence of the Cultivators
At noon, one after another, the cultivators came back from outside, and it was time to have their meals, low level cultivators could not dispel the grain, the food was provided by the post house for free, and it tasted good.
Lin Xuan finished eating ahead of time, there was nothing to do around, he didn't go back to his room, instead he sat in the hall of the dining hall and drank tea.
On one hand, he could kill time waiting for the afternoon trade fair to start, on the other hand, after tea, people would also recount their own experiences of what they had seen and heard, so as long as one was attentive, it was easy to hear useful information in the dining hall.
Here is the second floor, Lin Xuan sat by the window, expression casual sipping tea, head toward the window, seems to be enjoying the scenery, in fact, but pay attention to listen.
Although the sound was noisy, but for cultivators with powerful divine sense, it was nothing, the other party as long as they weren't using mana to transmit sound, every word could be heard clearly.
"Hey, did you guys go to the auction this morning?"
A voice like a broken gong managed to draw the attention of the crowd, Lin Xuan also glanced back, it was a five big and thick man wearing rough clothes, casual cultivator dress.
"What, your old brother also participated in the bidding?" A chubby teenager next to him interjected, his face full of admiration.
The big man's face reddened, "Us loose cultivators, which have the strength to participate, I'm not going over to see the action."
"Oh." The crowd revealed a look that turned out to be so, and immediately lost interest, drinking tea and eating.
"Hey, you guys listen to me." The big man was obviously very expressive, seeing that the crowd didn't pay attention to him, he was anxious: "Do you guys know that the items that are involved in the auction are the real treasures, just this morning alone, three lower-grade spirit weapons, two middle-grade spirit weapons, and one upper-grade spirit weapon have appeared."
Mentioning spirit weapons, the minds of the surrounding cultivators were attracted again, although spirit weapons were simple versions of magic treasures, they were also magical, many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators didn't have them, and they, the scattered cultivators of Spiritual Dynamic Stage, didn't have to be delusional even more.
Most of the people present hadn't seen it with their own eyes, but they had heard their elders describe the infinite power of spirit weapons.
"Hey, I didn't expect there to really be a spirit weapon out there, if I had known I wouldn't have gone to the stalls to loiter, I would have gone to the auction to spectate as well, although I couldn't afford to buy it, but at least taking a look at it would have been an eye-opener."
"Hmph, you think spectating is that easy, if you want to enter the auction, you have to pay a ticket for a marrow cleansing pill first." In the corner, an old man-like cultivator coldly said.
Hearing this, the casual cultivators were dumbfounded, spectating also requires a spiritual pill, at once, the crowd looked at the big man with wonderful eyes, some worshiped, some despised, wasting precious pills for the sake of opening their eyes, the standard ingrate, the loser.
But no matter with what kind of psychology, the crowd is more and more interested in the spiritual weapons, scrambling to be the first to inquire, the big man is foaming at the mouth to explain.
"You have not seen the power of the spiritual weapon, just one blow, will be a 10,000 kilograms of boulders into powder, and this is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon..."
Not to mention, although the character of this big man is a bit of claptrap, but the eloquence is still very good, a description of the crowd will be listening to the relaxed and mesmerized.
"So who got these weapons?"
"Who else can there be, of course, those powerful sects, the middle grade upper grade spiritual weapons a piece did not fall outside, lower grade spiritual weapons belong to the financial strength of the cultivation family, could it be that we loose cultivators will still have a chance?"
"That's right, not to mention we don't have so many pills to participate in the bidding, even if we really buy it down is also a hot potato, or else it will also incur the trouble of killing ourselves."
This is a bit blunt, but the reasoning is clear to everyone, sighing, the interest is also low, so much so that the back of the big man said, the afternoon's auction treasures are more precious, there are Lingyun Sect's head of the real person used by the extremely high grade spiritual weapons and a few precious beast eggs of the news, also not many people to listen to it.
Lin Xuan picked up his cup and drank tea to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth, hmmm, his own luck is really good, for other Spiritual Dynamism stage cultivators, the lower grade spiritual weapons are also unattainable, but he has as many as three of them, of which the worst ones are middle grade, and there is even an extreme grade.
Just want to fully utilize their power, need spirit control techniques, thinking of this, Lin Xuan acquisition of intermediate level techniques more determined to win.
The atmosphere in the hall is obviously a bit low, just at this time, a cold sentence into the ears: "Hmph, in the view of those sects and cultivation families, what are we casual cultivators, not to mention that the auction does not have a share, even if it is taken out to trade the items there are behind-the-scenes operation, was predetermined in advance."
"Behind the scenes, booked in advance?" The cultivators present were shocked, Lin Xuan also stayed attentive, following the voice he looked over, it was the old man who was drinking alone in the corner.
"Fellow Daoist, what did you mean by that just now?" There was no need for Lin Xuan to open his mouth, naturally a curious cultivator would do it for him.
The old man took a sip of his wine and didn't sell out, "Lingyun Sect has five middle-ranked techniques, except for the most precious Jade Cloud Technique which was used for auction, the other four were brought to the trade fair to be sold."
The crowd nodded, there was a mention inside the introduction about the Treasure Trade Fair inside the jade cylinder simplicity.
"But do you guys know that of the four middle ranked feats that were brought out, three of them have already been reserved by cultivation clans."
"Booking in advance, isn't this against the rules?"
"Hmph, rules?" The old man laughed mockingly, "Everyone who came to the conference, I'm sure you're not newcomers who just stepped into the cultivation world, when have you ever heard that the cultivation world still has to follow the rules, if you want to be reasonable, will those sectarian families speak with you, they're still not relying on their power to run roughshod over you."
The crowd was silent and speechless, all of the people here are casual cultivators, usually not less bullied by sect families, but what can be done, this is originally a world where power is used to convince people.
Even if they were dissatisfied with the behind-the-scenes operation, there was still nothing they could do about it.
"Booking in advance is fine, those intermediate level techniques, we Spiritual Dynamic Stage cultivators can't use them anyway!"
"Fellow Daoist is right, there are a few scattered cultivators who can succeed in building their foundations, intermediate level techniques taken to us are nothing more than waste."
"Right, who cares, let's drink and drink."
