Upon entering the tower, Qin Shi felt a strong pressure that came from his soul and bones. In this tower, he couldn't even use the demonic energy, let alone spiritual energy, soul energy, or even demonic energy. His eyes turned cold. "Ha, Spirit Sealing Formation, Spirit Sealing Formation. I didn't expect there to be a third formation here.
Even the demonic energy is suppressed? "
"Yes, it's actually the Demon Trapping Formation."
Blood Shaman's expression was grim. "This Demon Trapping Formation is a formation derived from the Demon Slaying Heavenly Formation tens of thousands of years ago. It has a strong suppressive effect on our demon race."
"However, the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable is injured. Otherwise, how can this half-baked formation trap the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable?
What a joke. Even the Demon Slaying Heavenly Formation created by the Human Emperor was barely sealed after injuring the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable. "
Qin Shi frowned when he heard this. He was naturally extremely familiar with the Demon Slaying Heavenly Formation, because it was the formation that sealed the Evil Demons in the Desolate Town back then. However, he did not expect that this formation was actually created by his ancestor, the Human Emperor.
However, seeing that Blood Shaman was protecting the Devouring Heaven Demon Venerable, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the power that originated from the race was still very strong.
"Alright, as long as we don't cause any trouble, it doesn't matter how many formations there are." Qin Shi smiled and walked to the first floor of the tower with Little Mi Cai.
The first floor was very spacious. It was actually more than ten thousand meters wide. It was a trapezoidal auction house. In the middle of the trench was an arc-shaped auction stage. Surrounding the arc-shaped stage were rows upon rows of seats. There were more than a hundred rows. Qin Shi was on the 110th row, in the right corner. After he and Mi Cai found their seats, they sat down quietly.
Due to his late arrival, the auction had already begun not long after he entered. A beautiful woman wearing a sexy red dress gracefully walked onto the stage.
Following that, an ethereal voice resounded.
"Thank you, friends from afar, for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the auction of our Sacrificial Auction House. I think you all know that there will be many precious treasures in this auction. So, Liu Feifei, I will cut the crap. Let's wait and see today's auction."
"Next, the first auction item: Grade 9 Six Stripes Tribulation Pill!"
At the very beginning, it was already a rare treasure on the continent. When a cart was pushed to the center of the stage, Liu Feifei lifted the red cloth, and a green elixir appeared in front of everyone, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the auction.
That rich pill fragrance was like the fragrance of osmanthus in March. Even Qin Shi couldn't help but swallow his saliva greedily. It should be known that a ninth-grade pill with six veins was a highly sought after treasure in the Eight Regions.
More importantly, it was an incredibly practical medicinal pill. The temptation of the Calamity Pill to those in the Heavenly Realm was unparalleled, and those in the Heavenly Realm were the most important people in the continent. They had the greatest number of people in the continent.
Therefore, the price of the elixir was sky-high as soon as it appeared.
Originally, the starting price was only 10 red beans, but in the short span of three seconds, Qin Shi heard a number that had already broken through three digits from the deafening roar.
"100 red beans!"
This kind of soaring speed really shocked Qin Shi. However, what made him even more curious was what this so-called red bean was.
Shouldn't they be Spirit Stones or Mysterious Crystals?
While he was in a daze, someone beside him suddenly poked him. The habit he had developed over the years made him instantly vigilant. A wave of cold air surged up, causing a cry of alarm to come from the side. "Hey, why are you so cold?
I'm freezing to death. "
Qin Shi turned around and saw it was an honest-looking young man. Then he quickly restrained his aura and said attentively, "Why did you poke me? What's the matter?"
"Hehe, it turns out you can talk?
I thought it was another piece of ice that wouldn't melt for a thousand years. "
The young man stuck out his tongue and extended his hand to Qin Shi while laughing. "Big Brother, my name is Li Qi. I'm a cultivator in the Three Heavens Realm. I like to make friends. Seeing that you look so kind and amiable, let's see if we are fated to meet. Let's make friends?"
"Not interested."
Qin Shi replied indifferently, but he thought to himself, 'Just now, he called me an ice block, and now he's saying that I'm kind. Is this guy crazy?'
"Don't, Big Brother. I'm new here, and there are many things I don't understand. Please take care of me in the future. I promise I'll be at your beck and call." Li Qi begged without any bottom line.
Qin Shi opened his mouth to reject, but when the words reached his mouth, he paused for a moment. He thought to himself, "Currently, I am in Merchant City and there are many things that I do not understand. Logically speaking, I can be considered to be a newcomer. If this brat is a native of Merchant City, he might really be able to help me."
Thinking of this, Qin Shi asked, "Are you a local?"
"Yes, yes yes yes."
Hearing that there was hope, Li Qi continued, "Big Brother, let me tell you, I'm not bragging. I've lived in Merchant City for more than ten years, and I know a lot of things. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
"This guy is quite smart."
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, let's be friends first. Don't call me Big Brother. My name is Qin Shi, and I'm a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Shi."
"Brother Shi!" Li Qi said quickly.
Qin Shi was helpless. How many big brothers did this brat have? But he didn't ask too much. In any case, he didn't care. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then let me ask you, what are the red beans here?"
"You mean the red bean?
It's the exclusive currency of the Sacrificial Auction House. It's a badge made of Sea Stone. "
"Brother Shi, don't look down on the red bean. It's made by the owner of the Sacrificial Auction House in memory of his daughter. The value of one red bean is as high as ten Lower Grade Mysterious Crystals. It's not far from the value of a Middle Grade Mysterious Crystal."
"Hiss!"
Qin Shi sucked in a breath of cold air, not because of the value of the red beans, but because of the price of the Tribulation Pill. One hundred red beans, wouldn't that be equivalent to one thousand Lower Xuan Crystals?
With such a huge amount of wealth, even the current him had to look forward to it.
"The people who come to Merchant City to auction can take out thousands of Mysterious Crystals. They are indeed not ordinary people." Qin Shi thought.
"Oh yes, Big Brother, you didn't exchange for the red bean and you dared to come here to auction?
If you really bid for something and you don't have the red bean to pay for it, it'll be really embarrassing. "
Hearing that, Qin Shi curled his lips. He was just testing the waters, so he really didn't think about these things.
At this time, the auction of the Calamity Pill was coming to an end. In the end, it was bought by one person at the price of one hundred and seventy red beans. Qin Shi couldn't help but sigh again, "One thousand and seven hundred Mysterious Crystals for a Calamity Pill. There are so many rich people on this continent."
Next, the second auction item was a Beginner Rank Spiritual Weapon, a long spear. Its price also kept rising and it was finally sold at two hundred and three red beans. The next few auction items were also extraordinary, which made Qin Shi sigh again at the generosity of the Sacrificial Auction House.
Fortunately, although these auction items were extraordinary, few of them attracted Qin Shi's attention, so he didn't pay much attention to them. However, Li Qi's words made him suddenly ask, "Oh yes, you just told me that it's another piece of ice. What do you mean?"
"This, this …!" Li Qi smacked his lips.
Qin Shi smiled and said, "Could it be that you also wanted to befriend someone before being rejected by that person?"
"That's not it …!"
Li Qi quickly shook his head and said arrogantly, "Brother Shi, let me tell you, don't look at me like this. I don't like ordinary people. The reason why I chose to recognize you as my big brother is that you look very domineering. There's an indescribable aura on you that attracts me. When I sniff it, my blood will boil. I always feel that I can do something earth-shattering if I follow you."
"…!"
Qin Shi was speechless. He thought that Li Qi was praising him.
At this time, the Blood Sorcerer said, "Little guy, he didn't lie. This little guy's aura is extraordinary. There's a power in him. I can't explain it, but it seems to be related to the Demon Clan. It's also because of this power that he felt close to you."
"Really?"
Qin Shi said solemnly. This was related to the Demon Clan.
"Mm, I've been observing him for a long time. Ever since he entered the auction house, he's been looking in your direction. He didn't sit beside you in the beginning. He switched seats one by one."
"There's such a thing?"
Qin Shi's eyes widened. He was so focused on the Memorial Auction House, the giant tower, and the Calamity Pill that he didn't notice who was sitting beside him.
"It seems that this little guy's flirting with me isn't as simple as he said."
Qin Shi was on his guard out of habit. The Blood Sorcerer said, "You don't have to be like this. He doesn't have any ill intentions. You should know this better than me."
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. With his current soul cultivation, even if he was unable to use his soul power in this giant pagoda, he could tell with his five senses that Li Qi was purposely befriending him. There were indeed not many emotions involved.
This made Qin Shi relax. He thought to himself, "Let's wait and see. I hope he doesn't approach me with any ulterior motives. Otherwise …"
There was a murderous look in Qin Shi's eyes.
Then, he calmed down and said to Li Qi, "Who did you say looked like an ice cube?"
