Chapter 950: Talismans and Formations

"It's a Ye Clan cultivator." Ge Ge Tianhao said slowly. Net

"Ye Clan, the Imperial Ye Clan?" Lin Lin Yinping revealed a look of surprise.

"Does Fellow Daoist Lin know who sent him? It's actually an elder surnamed Han from the Ye Clan, and this Elder Han's appearance is actually seven or eight parts similar to the person we are chasing." Ge Ge Tianhao's face revealed a strange expression.

"There's such a thing? Are the two the same person? How could that person be involved with the Ye Clan?" Lin Lin Yinping asked, startled.

"This is not very clear yet. The person I soul-searched was just a rogue cultivator recruited by the Ye Clan. But whether the two are the same person or not, they must be greatly related. Otherwise, why would they send someone to track us for no reason? If that person is truly an elder of the Ye Clan, this is a bit troublesome." Ge Ge Tianhao's expression was somewhat solemn.

"Why? The Imperial power is so great! I remember the Ye Clan is just a family supported by sects like yours. Why would Brother Ge be so afraid of them?" Lin Lin Yinping laughed lightly.

"The Ye Clan is not an ordinary cultivation family. Not to mention that they are the Imperial family of Great Jin and are known as the First Family, they have six or seven Nascent Soul elders within the clan alone. Not to mention the large number of rogue cultivators they have secretly recruited and the forces they have cultivated that are unknown to others. Their true strength should not be inferior to any major cultivation sect. Take this cultivator who was tracking us, for example; although his cultivation was not high, the banner he used was exceptionally miraculous. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Lin having the Myriad Sound Treasure Mirror, we wouldn't have easily discovered this person sneaking behind us." Ge Ge Tianhao sighed and said.

"It's nothing; my cultivation technique focuses on the cultivation of spiritual sense perception. From the moment I left the marketplace, I had a vague feeling of something being wrong, so naturally, I had to use the treasure mirror to observe. It can only be said that this person was unlucky to have run into me with the Myriad Sound Treasure Mirror in hand. How does Brother Ge intend to handle this matter? Does your sect still intend to fulfill the agreement with our temple?" This Heavenly Saintess stared at Ge Ge Tianhao and asked calmly.

"Hehe! The Ye Clan's strength is indeed not small, but our sect will not fear anyone. Moreover, this matter involves our sect's town-sect treasure and the life of a Law Enforcement Elder. Even if this person is truly an elder of the Ye Clan, our sect will make the Ye Clan hand this person over. Fellow Daoist Lin, you may rest assured. It's getting late, let's go to the exchange." Ge Ge Tianhao looked at the distance and said indifferently.

"Since Brother Ge says so, this little girl can rest assured." Lin Lin Yinping nodded with satisfaction.

Then the three transformed into three streaks of light and shot away from here.

These three, however, did not know that not long after they left the original spot, black light suddenly flickered in a space nearby, and then figures flickered, and a green-shirted youth appeared there strangely, looking at the direction where the three had disappeared, sneering incessantly.

"So the Yin Luo Sect and the Heavenly Saintess Temple have colluded. Very well, I will spare your lives for now and let you help me find that Han kid first. I have never forgotten the revenge of the pursuit all those years ago." After muttering these words, the youth flickered and vanished again.

……

Han Li was currently in a mass of green light, looking at the situation around him, feeling a burst of bitter laughter inwardly.

He was currently in a somewhat dim, massive hall, with four or five hundred seats evenly distributed around a circular open space in the middle.

What surprised Han Li was that when entering this place, he was given a special talisman by a masked cultivator at the entrance. As a result, after the two passed through a simple teleportation array and teleported to this place, their figures were immediately shrouded in a mass of green light, and their entire bodies became flickering and indistinct.

Han Li was naturally startled. He looked around and discovered that there were already dozens of cultivators scattered around the hall, some standing, some sitting. These people were also wrapped in light of various colors, unable to see their true faces.

Han Li's curiosity was greatly aroused. After sitting down randomly in a corner, he quietly released his spiritual sense toward a nearby person to see if he could penetrate the other party's light.

As a result, what shocked him was that these lights were like tangible objects; no matter how strong the spiritual sense pressure was, it was easily blocked outside. Although he didn't release his spiritual sense to its maximum strength, he estimated that even if he increased it, it wouldn't have much effect.

Han Li's mind turned, and he subconsciously swept his spiritual sense across the entire hall, only to discover that the entire hall seemed to be under the influence of a strange formation. This formation didn't have any fierce restrictions, but the spiritual energy emitted by the entire formation faintly echoed with the light on everyone's bodies.

Han Li himself was also proficient in talismans and formations, and after a little thought, he understood the reason, secretly marveling.

Clearly, these talismans were specifically used in conjunction with this strange formation. Once these talismans were attached, as long as one entered the range of this formation, the talisman's concealment effect would be activated on its own. In this way, no matter how strong a cultivator's spiritual sense was, it was naturally impossible to contend with the entire formation.

This allowed these old monsters participating in the exchange to rest assured and boldly exchange items without fearing meeting enemies at the exchange or being targeted by someone because of the items exchanged.

Han Li also felt a little relieved inwardly. He put the identity disk on the table in front of him and sat in his chair, closing his eyes and resting.

Time passed bit by bit, and the number of cultivators teleported into the hall gradually increased.

When Han Li opened his eyes again, not only were there nearly two hundred cultivators in the entire hall, but in the circular open space in the middle, a white jade table several zhang wide had appeared at some point.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, looking forward silently.

Not long after, spiritual light flickered near the white jade table, and a figure shrouded in white light suddenly appeared behind the table.

"Time is almost up; the fellow daoists who should have come have all arrived. The exchange now begins." The figure in the white light swept a glance around and said indifferently.

Then he flicked his sleeves, and three or four bulging storage bags floated onto the table.

The gazes of all the cultivators in the hall were instantly attracted, their eyes filled with enthusiasm.

"This exchange is still the same as before. It is mainly based on various rare materials. As for ancient treasures and magic tools, if they are truly rare and seldom seen, they can also be traded at this exchange. According to the convention, first, we will provide a batch of materials that can be directly auctioned with spirit stones, and the highest bidder will win. Then, it will be the fellow daoists exchanging items among themselves. However, what is different from previous years is that this time, our exchange has been entrusted by a major client to exchange a heavy treasure as the finale. This heavy treasure will only be exchanged for a few things that are hard to find in the world. If there are truly no materials for these things, then it will be auctioned with spirit stones. Whether you fellow daoists have the fortune to obtain the treasure and return, it depends on your own good fortune." The figure in the white light said slowly.

"Heavy treasure? What exactly is it? Is it a material, a pill, or a magic treasure? Can you tell us first? Otherwise, what if the things needed for this item are exchanged away in advance? Wouldn't that be a regret?" Someone suddenly asked.

"Hehe! I can only describe this item as hard to find in the world. As for what it is, you will naturally know at the end. As for the worry of this fellow daoist, it is even more unnecessary. The things exchanged for this treasure, if ordinary cultivators obtain them, they will only keep them tightly on their bodies and will never exchange them out." The figure smiled indifferently.

These few words were so arrogant that they naturally stirred up a commotion among the cultivators in the hall, and they couldn't help but have their curiosity piqued, but no one asked any more questions.

At this moment, the figure in the white light grabbed a storage bag in front of him, and then black light flickered on his hand, and a fruit that looked like a date but was pitch black and shiny appeared in his palm.

"Yin Date, accidentally produced on the grave of a person born on the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin day, it takes three hundred years to bear fruit, and then it is refined with the resentment of vengeful spirits using secret techniques for forty-nine days. This date can be taken directly or used as a tool-refining material. Starting price is one hundred thousand spirit stones, each bid no less than five thousand."

Once the figure spoke, it shocked Han Li inwardly.

"One hundred and twenty thousand."

"One hundred and forty thousand."

"One hundred and forty-five thousand spirit stones."

……

In the blink of an eye, this Yin Date, which Han Li hadn't even heard of, was auctioned off at a shocking high price. Almost everyone who placed a bid was a cultivator flashing with black and gray light, seemingly people of the demonic path who valued this thing extremely highly.

In the end, this Yin Date was auctioned off for one hundred and ninety thousand spirit stones.

"Blood Sun Iron, refined by fusing the primordial spirits of three cultivators at the Core Formation stage or above who cultivate fire-attribute techniques, it is a rare material for refining Yin Fire magic treasures. Starting price is one hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones, each bid no less than ten thousand." Once the figure in the white light saw the person who auctioned the Yin Date pay the spirit stones and take the auctioned item away, a rectangular object half a foot in size appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye, blood-red all over, emitting a scorching aura.

"One hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones."

"Two hundred thousand."

……

This rare material, which Han Li had vaguely heard of, although not many people placed bids, the few who competed seemed to be wealthy and unwilling to give up easily, and it was actually auctioned off for a shocking price of two hundred and fifty thousand.

"Ghost Li Grass……"

One item after another with names that sounded full of evil Qi appeared, and almost every one of them was auctioned off by the person who needed it with a large amount of spirit stones. Compared to the situation at the grand auction, it was truly incomparable.

Han Li touched the storage bag at his waist, and couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly.

For the first time, he was a little worried that he hadn't exchanged enough spirit stones. Although he also knew that before bartering, there would be a batch of materials that could be auctioned with spirit stones, he didn't expect the items that appeared to be so precious, and the spirit stone prices were also raised one higher than the other. Any one of them taken out for auction was above the finale items of the grand auction.

"Jade Rubber, a product produced once every thousand years by the heaven and earth spiritual wood Jade Rubber Tree, is the best material for making strange magic treasures and mechanical puppets. Starting price is one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones, each bid no less than five thousand……"

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

When the figure in the white light took out a white, misty, rubbery object, Han Li, who had been absent-minded all along, suddenly lifted his spirit and placed a bid without hesitation.
