The apprentice always wants to kill me

Chapter 37

Du Zhong went over to take a closer look. This person is not born stupid, but because he has three souls and seven souls. He is lucky to be alive.

"I'm just talking casually." The owner of the clothes shop pushed his son into the room, restrained the sarcasm and disdain on his face, and returned to his businessman's appearance, "Tomorrow there happens to be an auction of the Xian family in the city, and the young man can do it too." Go take a look and have fun."

Du Zhong nodded, seeing that the boss didn't want to talk about it any more, he took his leave and left.

As soon as he got out of the shop, he walked into the crowd again, and the group of mortals who had just entered the city, some pulling cows and some riding horses, walked towards the center of the city together.

Eucommia didn't have anything to do with it, it was just walking around, and followed the crowd.

After walking for a while, he followed the crowd to the center of the city, where there was a large three-storey attic. Du Zhong squinted his eyes and felt that the attic was full of yin, which looked very strange. unknown.

In front of the attic, a gray-faced old man was slowly sweeping the floor with a broom. Seeing this, Du Zhong stepped forward and asked, "Old man, what is this attic for?"

Hearing the voice, the old man turned around slowly, and it took a long time before he said "ah": "This attic? The immortals will hold an auction here tomorrow..."

Du Zhong looked at the attic again, and felt disapproving.If it was him, he would never choose such a crappy place to sell things.

Gu Qingli scratched him with his paw, and Du Zhong knew that the other party was telling him not to meddle in his own business.

There was a large area beside the attic. After Du Zhong said goodbye to the old man, he carefully suppressed his cultivation to the Qi refining stage. He felt that he was not outstanding, so he walked into this area with the flow of people.

Most of the scattered collections are mortal gadgets, such as some juggling props. The mortals who visit the collection can't tell if it's real or not, and think it's the stuff of the immortals, so they buy it with real money.

Eucommia walked through the collection with the crowd and looked around. Although it was fake, it was really interesting to watch.

He felt the cool scales rubbing against his arm, and knew that it was Gu Qingli who wanted to climb up to his cuff to look out, so he lightly raised his arm so that the other party could have a better view, and teased in a low voice unscrupulously Said: "Which one do you like, tell me, and I'll buy it for you. What do you think of that ball? It's just right for you to hold it in your mouth."

Gu Qingli sat up and looked outside calmly, ignoring him.

Now the state between the two has returned to what it was before. Du Zhong is stronger, while Gu Qingli is very weak and needs his protection, which makes Du Zhong feel very safe.

Du Zhong teased him in a low voice like talking to himself all the way, from "Look at this wood carving" to "Do you want candy?" Finally, Gu Qingli couldn't bear it anymore: "I'm not a child anymore."

Du Zhong gave up, but after a while, Gu Qingli suddenly said: "Master, look over there."

Du Zhong felt that he swept the left side of his arm with the tip of his tail, and then looked to the left, where there was a vendor selling big sugar balls.

The vendor was wearing a bamboo hat and a gauze covering half of his face. He sat cross-legged on the ground and spread a blanket in front of him. Several colorful sugar balls the size of walnuts were placed on the blanket. Du Zhong asked, "Do you really want to eat it?" sugar?"

"That's not sugar." Gu Qingli said, "It's a demon pill."

Hearing this, Du Zhong immediately pushed against the crowd to the side of the vendor, squatted down and wanted to play with the sugar ball-like thing.

As soon as he stretched out a finger, he was stopped by the vendor before poking it, and said with a smile: "It's fragile, don't break it."

The voice of this person is not very old, but still a little immature but very gentle, seems to be easy to get along with, Du Zhong said: "I will pay if it breaks."

The vendor no longer stopped him, but shook his head: "It's not about the money..."

Du Zhong said "be careful", and stretched out his hand to touch a blue ball. As soon as he touched it, he felt a faint pulsation in it, probably it was really a demon pill.

The Yaodan is the inner alchemy of the demon cultivator, it is extremely important to it, and can only be obtained by killing the demon cultivator, in the hands of human cultivators, it can only be used as an auxiliary product for refining weapons and forming formations, so it is rare in the interior of the human world.

But the demon core is of great significance to the demon cultivator, devouring the demon core of other demon cultivators can increase one's own cultivation base.

Once the demon pill is sealed, it is difficult for Renxiu to perceive it, and it is no wonder that Du Zhong thinks it is a sugar ball.

Judging from the size of this demon pill, it should be obtained from the great demon.Du Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at the merchant, and felt that he was just an ordinary mortal, but judging from the size of the demon pill he got, he knew that he was definitely not a mortal, and his strength was enormous.

Unexpectedly, there are people here who really hide their secrets. Du Zhong secretly rejoiced that he suppressed his cultivation in a low-key way, otherwise this would have been watched by people inside and out without knowing it.

A large part of Eucommia's property was left to Fourteen. They don't have a lot of money now, but this thing is very helpful to Gu Qingli, so he still asked, "How to sell it?"

"Which one?"

So the price is not the same?Du Zhong scratched his head in embarrassment, took out a few pieces of Lingshi from the Qiankun bag and handed them to him: "Which one can you afford?"

In fact, I couldn't afford any of them. The vendor's eyes were bent, as if he was smiling. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed: "You are..."

There was a hint of evil spirit leaking from Du Zhong's arm, it was Gu Qingli.

The vendor immediately stood up, took the few pieces of spirit stones from Du Zhong, wrapped up the blanket, lifted it from the ground and handed it to him: "Make friends, my name is Xiaobai."

Du Zhong raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Gu Qingli to have such a big face, but he still exchanged names with him seriously.

Du Zhong wanted to give Gu Qingli the demon pill, so he didn't want to go shopping again. After bidding farewell to Xiaobai, he quickly squeezed out of the crowd, found a place where no one was around, and took out a pill from the blanket. The pale yellow demon pill was handed into the sleeve.

He felt that after Gu Qingli took the demon pill from his hand, he scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately raised his sleeves to look at Gu Qingli.

I saw the white strip of flesh in the sleeve stretched out its two front paws to hug the demon pill, opening its mouth wide to swallow it.

The demon pill was as big as a Wenwan walnut, but Gu Qingli's forearm was only two fingers thick at this time, eating that demon pill was like a python swallowing a goat, it was very laborious.

Seeing that his throat was bulging, Du Zhong was afraid that he would choke himself to death, so he stretched out a finger and poked it, trying to help him push the demon pill down.

Gu Qingli glanced at him with his pale golden eyes, and then dodged to the side, seeing that he couldn't dodge, he gave up.

At this time, he had successfully swallowed the first demon pill, and because he couldn't digest it all at once, his stomach was swelled up into a ball, and he could faintly see it wriggling in the direction of the tail.

Du Zhong gave a surprised "Hmm", and immediately took out another dark green one from the blanket: "Another one?"

……

Gu Qingli was fed four in a row by him, and his long body was bulging like a string of beads.Du Zhong originally wanted to feed him another one, but judging from the bulging position, the demon pill had already blocked his throat.

Maybe he can still see the last demon pill when he opens his mouth, although Du Zhong won't really open his mouth to see it.

He gave up and put the rest into the universe bag.

Because there are too many mortals who come to seek immortality and ask questions, the places where they can stay in the city have already been overcrowded, and even the firewood houses have been occupied by people. They can only rest on a big tree with a thick trunk at night.

The dragon's blood that Du Zhong drank hadn't been fully absorbed, and Gu Qingli also needed to digest the demon pill, so they set up barriers around them and settled down together.

After a night of meditation, Du Zhong's cultivation has improved a lot.He closed his eyes and looked inside his dantian, only to see that the phantom of the human figure became clearer and more solid, which was a sign of the stability of the Nascent Soul.

With Gu Qingli's painstaking efforts and the blessing of Hu Xinlin, his cultivation can be said to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

Seeing that Gu Qingli had opened his eyes to look at him, Du Zhong lifted him up from the tree trunk and held him in his hands.

Although he could still feel the touch of a hard ball in his stomach through a layer of belly, he had indeed become smaller, and he had also grown thicker, now about three fingers thick.

Seeing that he took out another demon pill, Gu Qingli twitched the corner of his eyes and said calmly: "If the master feels tight, you can auction them at the auction."

Ah, it turns out that the things that others give cheaply can still be exchanged for money?

Hearing what he said, Du Zhong also thought it made sense, so he stuffed Gu Qingli into his sleeve and told him to coil up, and jumped off the tree.

He walked quickly along the way he came yesterday, and he came to the attic in the city again not long after.

Although Sanji has been withdrawn at this time, it is still overcrowded, and I don't know what to do.Du Zhong saw Xiaobai standing with arms folded against the wall from a distance, so he went up to say hello and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Today, Xiaobai still wears a bamboo hat and covers his face with a veil, and when he saw him coming, he bent his eyes and smiled: "Qianxian asked."

But he actually wanted to participate in the auction. Du Zhong looked at the attic with the closed door and asked, "Then what about the auction? When?"

"We have to wait."

Du Zhong still wanted to inquire about the situation in detail, but suddenly he heard someone shout excitedly: "Old Ancestor! The Old Ancestor is here!"

When Du Zhong turned his head, he saw several young and middle-aged men walking slowly carrying a chariot. Through layers of white gauze, one could vaguely see a graceful woman sitting on the chariot.

Wherever they passed, the fragrant wind was blowing on their faces, and many people showed intoxicated expressions on their faces, shouting "Old Ancestor".

For a while, he didn't look like he was asking for immortality, and he was completely dancing among demons.

Xiaobai chuckled lightly when he saw it, shook his head but didn't speak.

After a while, the chariot was carried to the side of the attic, and the woman sitting on it got up and raised her hand, and the white gauze on both sides was slowly lifted, revealing her true self.

This woman has a graceful figure, her skin is as white as snow, her skin is as white as snow, her face is half covered by a light gauze, and her clothes are very open, she is indeed very enchanting and beautiful.

Du Zhong frowned as he watched the group of mesmerized people around him.

The monk's five senses were extremely sensitive, and when another gust of fragrant wind hit, he covered his nose uncomfortably, and Gu Qingli, who was in his sleeve, sneezed directly.

Immediately afterwards, the woman spoke, her soft whispers were very sweet, but they had nothing to do with cultivating immortals, it sounded like chicken soup for the soul.

Du Zhong actually wanted to leave, but Xiaobai said at this time: "The auction will not start until she finishes speaking. If you feel the smell is unpleasant, you can stand outside for a while."

Du Zhong smiled awkwardly, pulled Xiao Bai and squeezed back together, and stood a little further away.

The woman talked for half an hour before she sat back in the chariot and was carried away under the satisfied eyes of the group of mortals. Someone shouted: "Start trading."

Xiaobai watched the chariot leave, hurriedly said goodbye, and quickly followed without waiting for Du Zhong to reply.

At this time, the door of the attic was pushed open, and a group of servants came out to entertain the guests.

Eucommia was pushed forward by the crowd, and got close to them, before he could ask, someone approached courteously, glanced at him stealthily, and asked, "Is the young man here to sell swords?"

You are here to sell cheap, get out.Du Zhong squinted at him, and realized after a while that he was talking about auctioning Gu Qingli's Nine Heavens Sword.

Although he changed into inconspicuous clothes, Jiu Xiao was pinned around his waist without any concealment because of his unremarkable appearance. This meeting probably met someone who knew the goods.

Although he also felt that the real numbers of these mortals were illusory, it seemed that there were indeed immortals and daoists in this city.

Du Zhong raised the hem of his clothes to cover Jiuxiao: "No."

The man said courteously again: "Then you must be here for shopping, please hurry up."

In fact, Du Zhong also wanted to see what could be sold in this kind of place, so he nodded for him to lead the way.

As soon as he entered the attic, the chilly atmosphere became more obvious.

There is a small table in the middle of the first floor of the attic, which is probably the place to display the exhibits. Two steps away from the table, small benches are placed round after round. The environment looks very simple, not much better than an open-air vegetable market.

The servant pointed out, "You can sit wherever you want, and you can raise your hand if you want to buy anything."

Sit casually, and the broken benches are all the same.Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Du Zhong hurriedly stopped him: "What currency do you use for the transaction?"

The boy scratched his head: "That depends on what you like."

Du Zhong didn't understand what this meant until the auction started.The first ones to appear were some lowest-level pills, such as Bigu Dan and Qi Bu Dan, which were sold to ordinary people and could indeed be bought with silver.

Later, some slightly rarer things appeared, and Lingshi was needed for trading.

At this time, a black banner was placed on the stage, and the host said: "The summoning banner contains a hundred innocent souls."

The sound of copper bells sounded one after another on the second floor, Du Zhong frowned secretly, and all the utensils of the ghost cultivator appeared, which was not quite like an auction held by a fairy.

After several rounds of competition, the banner was finally photographed by a buyer on the second floor. A servant took the flag and stepped back quickly, while another servant came forward with the next object in his hands.

The host said: "For a piece of unknown metal, the starting price is five hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

It was a square piece of metal, and there was nothing special about it from a distance, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation, but Gu Qingli moved it in his sleeve, and whispered: "This is rare earth, and it has miraculous effects in repairing magic tools. They don't seem to recognize it."

When he left Tianxuan, Eucommia's natal artifact hadn't been repaired, and the silver mist lying in his bag was still broken, so he sat on the stool and immediately raised his hand, the host nodded to show his understanding.

Immediately, a room on the second floor started to ring the bell, and Gu Qingli said again: "Add more, don't stop."

Du Zhong raised his hand again, and the room on the second floor immediately rang the bell.

Soon this piece of metal was multiplied tenfold, and if they continued to add more, they would not be able to afford it.Simply after Eucommia raised his hand for the last time, there was no movement on the second floor.

The host said: "Five high-grade spirit stones."

The boy walked over with the lump of metal in his hand. After paying for the spirit stone, Du Zhong secretly asked, "Can I still sell things now?"

The boy replied: "Of course it can, but it can only be sold privately."

Du Zhong nodded, put his hand into his sleeve, and Gu Qingli spat out two half-digested demon pills from his mouth.

As soon as the unsealed demon pills came out, the demonic aura surged, and the host was startled for a moment, and ordered a young servant to quickly come forward with a wooden tray: "The reputation of this pavilion is guaranteed. You put them here, and they will be available tomorrow." Replace it with a spirit stone for you."

It didn't look like something too valuable at first, and Eucommia hadn't touched it much before, so he put away the rare earth, nodded in agreement, got up and left after asking the time.

He wanted to find a place where no one was around and try to see if he could fix the silver mist, but when he left the attic for a while, he felt someone was following him behind him.

He snatched something from the seller on the second floor before, and then took out two rare demon pills here, which must have attracted envy.

Du Zhong continued to walk calmly, and when he reached an inaccessible place, the people behind him suddenly made a move, one with a sledgehammer and the other with a slender magic weapon, and attacked from behind.

Du Zhong no longer suppressed his cultivation, turned around and reached out to grab the attacking weapon, one left and one right violently caught the attacking weapon, and rubbed his hands together to crush it violently.

Those two people didn't expect him to have such strength, they turned to run with frightened faces, but Eucommia lifted his collar over his shoulders and fell to the ground.

Although there are as many Nascent Soul stage monks in a sect like Tianxuan, they are extremely rare in this small place.

He went forward and searched out a few spirit stones from those two people, and was about to keep them in his sleeves for his own, when he heard someone laughing, "Sure enough."

Wearing a bamboo hat and light veil to cover his face, Du Zhong hurriedly put away his things when he turned around and saw him.Xiaobai didn't care when he saw it, he just said: "I have something to ask for your help."
