The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 161
Chapter 161 Little Restraint (1)
The crowd in the underground trade fair quickly dispersed. This place was filled with cultivators. At the very least, they had the strength of three rings and four rings. Therefore, they were already used to fighting. When they saw a fight, they immediately retreated to avoid being affected.
After a loud explosion, he saw that the two of them were fighting against each other like a cockfight, but they did not continue to fight.
Lei Xingfeng looked at him curiously and said, “These two people are very bold. I think there should be powerful people guarding this place.”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Look at those two carefully.”
Only then did Lei Xingfeng realize that something was wrong. The two of them were actually imprisoned. Furthermore, they were powers that he did not know. Because from the surface, it was impossible to see what was wrong with the two of them. Only when he looked carefully would he discover that the two of them were standing like fighting cocks. The two of them did not move.
It was precisely because he didn’t move that Lei Xingfeng realized that something was strange. Only then did he understand what kind of power these two fellows were immediately imprisoned by.
XinFeng said, “Who did it?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “No one attacked. It was set up by Lord. Anyone who attacked here would have the same consequences. Even I can’t do anything.”
XinFeng said, “Stay still … and then who will deal with it?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “No one will deal with it, hehe. However, if the two of them want to escape, they will have to be fixed for at least two days and two nights.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Good fellow, this punishment is fierce enough. By the way, what kind of little restriction is that?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “I’m not too sure either. Only True Monarchs or above can master that thing. If you can’t reach True Monarchs, you won’t be able to learn to control it. I heard that the little restriction came from another continent, not something we developed here.”
XinFeng couldn’t think of the True Monarch Association’s item for the time being. He was still very curious. He said, “What if the two of them continued to fight after they were relieved of their predicament?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “I won’t attack again. If I attack again, I can only attack once. After that, I’ll be imprisoned for another two days. I can’t stand it anymore. Hehe, I believe these two won’t be so stupid. One lesson is enough.”
XinFeng said, “Looks like this is their first time here. They don’t know the secrets of this place.”
Miao Ling curiously stared at the two of them. Xin Zhaolun said, “Xiao Ling, don’t stare at them, lest you get angry.”
Miao Ling said, “They can’t move, vent their anger … Hehe, they can’t move.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “They just can’t move, but they can’t move all the time. When they can move, they can leave this place and come find trouble with you.”
Miao Ling stuck out her small tongue and immediately turned around to hug Sister Hong’s arm. She whispered, “Sister Hong, you will protect me, right?”
Sister Hong said, “Alright, stop acting so spoiled. You are already so old, and you still look like a young child.”
After walking around, Lei Xingfeng did not find any materials to exchange. He was a little disappointed and said, “Nothing.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “We need to try our luck. There aren’t many people now. Let’s wait a bit longer.”
XinFeng said, “Alright, I’ll go take a look.” Crazy Eagle and Tiger Addict naturally followed him. Miao Ling brought Sister Hong and the two ran to the other side. The two of them whispered, while Xin Zhaolun and Xiao Diya also ran to the front.
Those who wanted to trade were all covered with animal hides on the ground, and then placed things on it. There were all sorts of materials, many of which Lei Xingfeng did not recognize. Fortunately, Feng Ying and Shi Hu were present. The two of them had good knowledge, and most of them were able to distinguish between them.
After a round, he met Xin Zhaolun again. Xin Zhaolun asked, “Do you see anything good?”
Lei Xingfeng smiled bitterly and said, “No, I didn’t find anything special.”
“There are some special things over there,” Xin Zhaolun said. “You can go take a look.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “What is it?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “It’s ice beast meat that is a specialty of this place. It should have been hunted by them before.”
Lei Xingfeng immediately lost interest. He said, “I have a lot of meat. I don’t lack this one.”
“This meat is different,” Xin Zhaolun smiled. “Eating it will increase your resistance to the cold.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “This is not bad. Alright, let’s go and exchange it for something. By the way, is it expensive?” He had no idea what was going on here.
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “It’s very cheap. You can exchange it for grain.”
Lei Xingfeng followed Xin Zhaolun to a stall. A few pieces of white meat were placed on the hide. One piece was only about a jin. Lei Xingfeng said, “Why is there so little?”
The owner of the stall was an eight-ringed real person. He glanced at Lei Xingfeng and said, “This is a sample. As much as you want, I can exchange it for food, rice or noodles. One jin for one jin.”
Xin Zhaolun said, “One jin for one jin? One jin for at least two jin for you …”
“That person said:” Alright, at least exchange for more than 1,000 jin, we lack food.
XinFeng could not help but shake his head. This person was very honest. He had already shouted out that he was short of food. He was too lazy to bargain because he had brought a lot of food with him when he came. He felt that it was worth it to exchange for some local ice beast meat.
A thousand kilograms of grain for two thousand kilograms of ice beast meat. The transaction between the two of them was very fast. They were both people who possessed Lunzang Space, and the transaction had already been completed between the two of them.
The man was very satisfied. He said, “I still have some ice beast blood here. Do you want to exchange it? If you have some dried vegetables or something, it would be best to exchange one jin for one jin. How about it?”
The blood was blue and had already condensed into ice. The size of a fist was about one jin. Xin Zhaolun said, “This can be exchanged. The ice beast blood is extremely delicious. It can be used as a seasoning. It’s a specialty here.”
Lei Xingfeng exchanged dried mushrooms for tens of kilograms. Both sides were happy. After the transaction was completed, the man said, “Cheng Wu, if you still want ice beast meat in the future, come and find me.”
Lei Xingfeng and the others signed up before taking their leave.
…
For three consecutive days, Lei Xingfeng and the others were all wandering around the fair, She also got some items, but there weren’t any special materials. On the fourth day, Lei Xingfeng, Feng Ying, Xin Zhaolun, and Jin Daya returned to the trade fair. As for Miao Ling, she didn’t come back the next day. She had been hiding in her room to cultivate because it was getting colder and colder outside. Even if it was only ten minutes away from the trade fair, she didn’t want to go out.
After Xin Zhaolun entered the trade fair, he smiled and said, “There is a small auction today. Hehe, the participants can only be Daoist Nine Rings. Of course, I can bring one person in, and Big Fang can also bring one person in, so that the four of us can enter the auction.”
Jin Daya said, “I heard that a few more True Monarchs are coming this time?”
Xin Zhaolun smiled and said, “Yes, maybe you can get quite a few sealing rings.”
Kim Dae-ah was relying on the seal ring to delay his life. To him, no material was as important as the seal ring.
To be able to participate in a small auction hosted by a True Monarch, Jin Daya would not let go easily no matter what. One had to know that only True Monarchs could condense seals, and True Monarchs were not so easy to see.
When Lei Xingfeng walks into the so-called auction house, He couldn’t help but be greatly disappointed. This was different from the auction he had imagined. There was no auctioneer, nor was there anyone who specifically collected valuables. Instead, if you had something, you could go up and display it. Then, you could make a request for a replacement. For example, if you needed something, you could directly say it. If someone below was willing to exchange it, then you would have succeeded in the auction.
Of course, it was also possible to directly exchange for a seal ring instead of exchanging it for a physical object. Generally speaking, most of the items here were bartered. Because the seal ring was a hard currency, it was also useful in this kind of situation. With Lord around, there would be more people who would use the seal ring to exchange for materials.
XinFeng had already planned to exchange some purple crystals for sealing rings. If he had something suitable for him, he planned to use the sealing rings he had exchanged for.
The auction house was a small room. There was a table in the middle, surrounded by a few short piers. Everyone who came in was seated at will. After Lei Xingfeng and the others entered, they randomly found a corner to sit down and quietly waited.
Very quickly, an old man appeared. He stood in front of the middle platform and said indifferently, “Old rules. Anyone who needs to come up to display materials, stand up. Mm, right, don’t bring up those rubbish materials. Everyone should understand these rules. Alright, let’s begin this auction.” He turned around and left.
XinFeng asked in surprise, “Is that enough?” His voice was very low. Xin Zhaolun smiled and whispered, “What do you think will happen?”
There were about forty people in the room, and there were about thirty Nine Ring Daoists. This was because some Nine Ring Daoists did not bring their followers in. Among them, there was a True Monarch. However, no one could tell who was a True Monarch. They all quietly mixed in with the crowd.
A middle-aged woman walked up and said, “I’ll go first, Mei Yi, Daoist Nine Rings.”
A fist-sized piece of material was placed on the stage. She said, “There are seventy-two spirit silk open stones. They are about the same size as this one. I am too lazy to exchange them for anything else. I want a seal ring. Whoever bids the highest will have it!” As she spoke, she stopped talking and waited quietly.
Lei Xingfeng thought to himself, “Holy shit, it’s really straightforward. There’s no agitation, no publicity, nothing. This kind of trick is really strange.”
Someone shouted, “I’ll trade Theodore for one!”
Mayi frowned slightly and said, “I’m not interested in Theodore.”
The man smiled bitterly and said, “One seal ring for two spirit silk stones.”
Mei Yi frowned again. She felt that the other party had lowered the price and said, “This price is too low!”
XinFeng couldn’t help but touch his forehead. This way, the auction wouldn’t be able to stir up any competition.
Sure enough, no one made a bid. Mei Yi’s expression darkened. She shook her head and said, “If I were to swap one for another, I would still be able to reluctantly agree. Your bid is too low. Forget it, let’s forget it this time.” She put away the spirit silk stones on the stage and turned around.
XinFeng was dumbstruck. He whispered, “We’ve already bid, and you can go back on your word? What kind of auction is this?”
Xin Zhaolun said, “The auction is like this. What do you think it is?”
