Chapter Seventy-four: Ya Xuan's Auction
These days Wang Shi's life has been extremely comfortable. Zhou Chen and others didn't come over, but Zhou Li came several times.
"Those kids have been locked up for cultivation." Zhou Li said with a smile.
"Heh heh, it's all right then." Wang Shi said with a smile.
Zhou Li shook his head and said, "Next month, they will face the family's baptism, and the minimum requirement for baptism is to reach the seventh layer of opening up the wasteland. They can only be locked up, otherwise who would cultivate?" Zhou Li was very headache about these few young masters.
"Family baptism?" Wang Shi was secretly shocked, indeed it was a big family, and there was even a baptism.
Zhou Li nodded and said, "The so-called family baptism is not only within the scope of the family, but also includes the Zhou family and some small families that have a good relationship with my Zhou family. It's held once a year, as long as you reach the seventh layer of the Wilderness Boundary and are under the age of 20. This can be considered one of the more grand ceremonies in Qingcang City!"
"Oh? What's this baptism like?" Wang Shi asked with some curiosity.
Zhou Li introduced: "This baptism is very simple, there are a lot of precious herbs and beast blood in the baptismal pool, and the spiritual energy is even more magnificent. Whoever endures the longest time will have the greatest increase in strength! What, you also want to participate? There is still one quota left."
Zhou Li saw Wang Shi's yearning expression and smiled.
Wang Shi shook his head and said: "I want two!"
Zhou Li was taken aback and asked in confusion: "Two? Who is the other one for?"
"Ling Yu Xi." Wang Shi said calmly.
"Haha, I see! So it's like that. Although it's possible, you'll have to accept his challenge first. If he loses, you can take his place!"
Wang Shi said indifferently: "Who?"
"Zhou Qing Shan, the ninth layer of the Wilderness Realm's peak."
Wang Shi exclaimed, "The ninth layer of the Wilderness Realm's peak? How did he only just come to baptism?" This baptism was obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this kid had actually waited until the ninth layer's peak before coming to be baptized - what a talent!
Zhou Li shook his head, somewhat helplessly saying: "This person is a battle maniac, often tempering himself in the wilds, and his killing aura is also extremely heavy. Relying on this kind of tempering, he forcibly raised his strength to the peak of the 9th layer of the Wilderness Realm! He spent three years tempering! Now that he's back, wanting to make a difficult breakthrough even more difficult, so he came to the family for baptism!"
"Zhou Qing Shan!" Wang Shi remembered this name clearly. This person was quite ruthless to himself, but indeed had a strong personality!
"But Brother Zhou, I've only just opened the seventh layer of the Wilderness Domain, how can I possibly defeat him?" Wang Shi was somewhat curious as to why Zhou Li had arranged for himself such a formidable opponent.
Zhou Li glanced at him and said, "Wang Shi, you're still hiding your true abilities even now? I'm very curious about your strength." This revealed Zhou Li's interest in Wang Shi.
Wang Shi shrugged his shoulders, showing helplessness.
……..
Time passed quietly like this.
Wang Shi, apart from practicing, would also wander around everywhere, but his behavior was very inconspicuous, unlike Zhou Chen and the others who would attract attention as soon as they stepped out. He was like an ordinary person strolling in Qingcang City, and this life was actually quite comfortable.
In his spare time, Ling Yu Xi often came over, and Ling Ye occasionally saw him, but most of the time Ling Ye was busy with some small shops in the family. After all, he was the only strong man in the family, and the rest were old and young. He was also the hardest working one, but he still had a smile on his face all day long, as if he enjoyed it.
What surprised everyone was Ling Yu Xi, because the young girl actually came to find Wang Shi and asked him for guidance on her cultivation.
"How can I be as strong as you? I also have the strength to open up the 8th layer of the Wilderness Boundary!" The girl looked puzzled, as if saying how could I possibly lose to you?
Wang Shi thought for a moment before saying, "You have no experience in battle, you will still be nervous and trembling during combat, and your spiritual power won't be used reasonably. All of these need to be changed."
"Hmm, how should it be changed?" Ling Yu Xi said.
Wang Shi saw a hint of longing in the girl's eyes and couldn't help but say: "Let me spar with you first."
"Good!" Ling Yu Xi felt a surge of excitement.
……….
Two figures entwined together in an instant, of course Wang Shi's movements slowed down to the extreme.
"When throwing a punch, lean forward and use force. Don't be afraid of pain. The spiritual energy only needs to wrap around the fist, no need to cover the entire arm, that's a waste of spiritual energy."
"The path of the fist is a straight line, which is the shortest and most efficient way to gain the upper hand!"
"Don't be slack, the whole body is tense, the spirit should be like flowing water, don't let it all burst out."
"Don't tremble, don't be nervous, that's right. Look gloomy, gather your kindness and compassion! Act a bit colder."
………
Wang Shi carefully instructed, not misleading the young disciples. Ling Yu Xi was also under Wang Shi's personal guidance, and in a few days, he became better and better, finally gathering some spiritual power, and his use of spiritual power also gradually became more skilled.
Moreover, actual combat training is also progressing rapidly. In just a few days, Wang Shi saw Ling Yu Xi's progress every day and also saw her determination. This surprised Wang Shi, the girl had a pretty good talent, but no one had ever guided her.
"Yu Xi, are you going to Ya Xuan auction house later?" In the past few days, Wang Shi's relationship with the girl had become increasingly close, and calling out "Yu Xi" didn't feel awkward at all.
"What's the point of going there, are you going to bid on something?" Ling Yu Xi became even more gentle and charming in the sunset, with sweat dripping down her long hair, but still somewhat alluring.
"That's not it, go take a look at something good, are you going?" Wang Shi shook his head.
Ling Yu Xi thought for a moment and said seriously: "Then let's go, wait, I'll take a bath first."
"Good." Wang Shi nodded and said.
……..
Night falls, Qingcang City is still shining, prosperity remains.
Wang Shi brought Ling Yu Xi, who was wearing a fresh and clean little skirt, to the Ya Xuan auction.
This place is on the east side of the bustling street, and there are also a large number of people here. Many people have entered the Ya Xuan auction house, apparently for this auction.
"It's been a long time since I've gone out at night, it's really lively." Ling Yu Xi was obviously very happy, with some satisfaction in her eyes.
Wang Shi also looked away, and the elegant auction hall was only a circular venue, like a Roman arena, except that it wasn't open-air. In front of the gate, there was a special logo belonging to Ya Xuan.
This Ya Xuan is as simple and elegant as its name, without any decoration, but the light is very dazzling, under the milky white light, it looks holy and solemn.
"Yu Xi, do you know this Ya Xuan?" Wang Shi asked.
Ling Yu Xi thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "This Ya Xuan auction house is just a branch here. I heard that this auction house is very famous in the northwest wilderness, it can be said that it covers the entire northwest wilderness. No one dares to make trouble in it, because behind Ya Xuan there is a very powerful force controlling it."
"So formidable?" Wang Shi exclaimed in surprise, really can't underestimate this auction, it's indeed a big deal.
"At least those little ones from the Zhou family wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Yaxuan, because Yaxuan would never give face to the Zhou family." Ling Yu Xi said softly.
Wang Shi nodded.
"Boss, you've finally arrived." At this time, Zhou Hong's voice came from among the crowd.
