Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 275 Auction

Shen Yun spent the next few days at the Lin Mansion, accompanying Lin Ruyi shopping and taking walks.

The streets of Liuyun City were bustling and lively, with people coming and going and shouting. Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi walked side by side. She was wearing a light pink Luo skirt, her long black hair was gently tied up, and she wore an exquisite jade hairpin. Shen Yun was wearing a moon-white long gown, with an upright posture. Her face was filled with a bright smile, and her eyes were shining with a smart light, like two bright stars.

They shuttled between the stalls, which were filled with a wide variety of goods, including exquisite purses hand-woven with spiritual vines, colorful kites, and wooden sculptures of various shapes with array formations. Occasionally, they would stop, and Lin Ruyi curiously picked up a small clay figurine with love in her eyes, and Shen Yun would buy it for her with a smile. Sometimes, they would come to the path by the lake, where the breeze blew, the lake surface was sparkling, the water was clear, and the fish swam freely in the water. Lin Ruyi would pick wild flowers on the roadside, weave them into garlands, and playfully wear them on her head, then turn lightly in front of Shen Yun, her skirt flying, and her laughter as clear as a silver bell. Shen Yun looked at her, his heart full of warmth and tenderness, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

When they were tired of walking, they would find a teahouse to sit down. The teahouse is located by the lake, with simple and elegant decoration. The red lanterns hanging at the door sway gently in the breeze. Entering the teahouse, you can smell the faint fragrance of tea. They chose a seat by the window, outside the window is the sparkling lake and the rolling mountains in the distance. In the aroma of tea, Shen Yun told Lin Ruyi about the strange stories of Liucheng. His voice was low and magnetic, "Ruyi, in Liucheng, there was a strange man who could drive all kinds of beasts and communicate with them freely. Those ferocious beasts were as docile as cats in front of him." Lin Ruyi held her chin and listened attentively, her eyes full of yearning for those wonderful experiences, and she exclaimed from time to time.

During the days in the Lin Mansion, in addition to accompanying Lin Ruyi, Shen Yun did not forget to practice. Whenever night fell and everything was quiet, Shen Yun would return to his room and concentrate on studying the "Divine Mind Sutra". The moonlight sprinkled into the room through the window, covering the room with a layer of silver gauze. After the last breakthrough, he had a new understanding of practice, and his mental strength was constantly consolidated and improved. Shen Yun sat cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. The surrounding spiritual power slowly gathered towards him, forming a faint halo around him.

On this day, the sun shone softly in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. The green leaves swayed gently in the breeze, casting patches of mottled light and shadows. Lin Zhen walked hurriedly into the backyard. He saw Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi playing chess leisurely under the tree, with black and white chess pieces crisscrossing on the chessboard.

Lin Zhen had a smile on his face and said loudly: "Yun'er, Ruyi, I have good news to tell you." Upon hearing the voice, Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi raised their heads with curiosity in their eyes.

Lin Zhen put his hands behind his back and walked slowly to the two of them. He was wearing a dark purple brocade robe and a jade belt around his waist, and he looked majestic. He said, "There will be a grand auction in the city soon. Your father wants you two to go with me. This auction is not ordinary. It is organized by the Liuyun City royal family. With the royal family's deep heritage and extensive connections, there must be many good things in this auction."

Lin Zhen's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and he continued, "As far as I know, this auction has been in preparation for a long time, and all the treasures from all sides will be gathered here.

There are even some third-level spiritual weapons among them.

Each of those third-level spiritual weapons has unique magical powers.

For example, there is a 'Blue Frost Spirit Sword', the blade of which is as thin as a cicada's wing, but extremely sharp. When it is swung, it can release a biting blue frost cold air, slowing down the enemy's movements or even directly trapped by the frost. This sword was once in the hands of a sword master, who took the head of an enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops as easily as taking something out of a bag; there is also a 'Fire Cloud Robe', which can activate the fire spirit power after being put on, forming a layer of hot protective barrier, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to get close. Legend has it that this Fire Cloud Robe once helped its owner resist the fatal blow of the demon general in a great battle between immortals and demons, saving his life. In terms of elixirs, like the 'Gathering Spirit Pill', it can quickly replenish the spiritual power consumption of the Jindan strongman, allowing him to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness in battle. After taking a Gathering Spirit Pill, the spiritual power is instantly restored to its original state, allowing the cultivator to have the ability to continue fighting in battle; the 'Condensing Soul Pill' can nourish the soul and strengthen the soul power of the Jindan cultivator, which is of great help to both cultivation and combat. Taking the Soul-Condensing Pill can strengthen the soul, resist interference from the inner demons during cultivation, and provide more protection when breaking through bottlenecks."

When Lin Ruyi heard this, her eyes sparkled with excitement and she clapped her hands: "Wow, that sounds great, we must go and see it for ourselves." Her face was full of anticipation, as if she had already seen those magical treasures. Shen Yun also nodded slightly, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, and said with a cupped hand: "Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me about this auction. This trip will definitely be worthwhile."

Lin Zhen looked at the two with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Okay, you guys prepare well these few days, and when the auction starts, we will go together." The sunlight shone on the three of them, reflecting their figures full of anticipation for the auction.

Time flies, and the auction is coming soon as scheduled.

The streets were bustling with people, and a gorgeous carriage was passing through the crowd. The interior of the carriage was beautifully decorated, with silk cushions and incense burners. Lin Zhen, Shen Yun, and Lin Ruyi were sitting in the carriage, swaying slightly as the carriage bumped. After a while, the carriage stopped in front of a magnificent building. The building was magnificent, with flying eaves and brackets. Above the vermilion gate hung a golden plaque with the words "Liuyun Auction" on it.

As the left prime minister of the dynasty, Lin Zhen naturally had the proper pomp and ceremony. Before he got off the carriage, the vermilion door of the auction house slowly opened, and a group of staff in uniform came forward with smiles on their faces and hurriedly led the way.

The leader was a middle-aged steward, wearing a dark-patterned brocade robe and a jade-studded belt around his waist. He walked steadily and respectfully. When he saw Lin Zhen's carriage from afar, he bowed slightly, his eyes showing just the right amount of respect and flattery. When the carriage stopped, he hurried forward a few steps, stretched out his hands and respectfully lifted the curtain, with a warm smile on his face, and said, "It is a great honor for our auction to have you, Mr. Lin. I have been waiting here for a long time and am willing to lead the way for you."

Behind him, several young attendants stood with their hands down, all of them standing tall and focused. Two of them held exquisite trays with fresh fruits and fragrant wine on them for Lin Zhen to enjoy at any time; the others held ceremonial weapons with flags flying, clearing the way for Lin Zhen and his party.

Lin Zhen got off the carriage slowly. He was wearing a dark purple dress embroidered with cloud patterns and a jade pendant on his waist, which symbolized his status. His gestures showed his majesty. Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi followed closely behind him. Lin Ruyi was wearing a light blue dress with exquisite flowers embroidered on the hem. She looked around curiously. Shen Yun was wearing a moon-white gown, with an elegant temperament.

The middle-aged steward stood in front, bent slightly, extended his right hand to indicate the direction, and led Lin Zhen's family into the auction. Along the way, he kept introducing the arrangement and preparation of the auction, and his words were full of flattery and flattery to Lin Zhen. On both sides of the road, other staff members of the auction saluted and shouted in unison: "Welcome Prime Minister Lin!" The voices were neat and loud, echoing in the spacious courtyard.
