At nine o'clock in the evening, a small auction was being held at the only star-rated hotel in Nanling, south of Jiangnan City.

At this time, a small landscape painting is being auctioned. This painting is only one-third in size. The landscape in the painting is lifelike, and it also comes with an inscription, which was written by a senior official in the Qing Dynasty. It reads: "The landscape in the painting, the water in it

Surrounded by mountains, mountains are surrounded by water. The mountains, mountains, and rivers are in the painting, and the water, water, mountains, and mountains form their own painting.”

This landscape painting is the last third of the map of the cave left behind by the ascended alchemist, but there are only three people present who really know its function.

Two people were sitting in the front row. One was an old man in a Tang suit. He had an aura of calmness and authority. His long silver hair was tied behind his back, giving him a somewhat fairy-like air. The other was a

A very beautiful woman, about thirty years old, wearing a white cheongsam, perfectly showing off her hot figure with bulging front and back. If Ye Dong were here, he would definitely recognize this woman. She has the golden elixir cultivation level.

Femme fatale.

The last one sat at the end of the venue. He was two meters tall and had explosive muscles. He looked very prominent. At first glance, he looked like a madman with huge destructive power. And he did have huge destructive power. He was the 'Dark Soul'

The fifth most powerful iron man in the organization.

Iron Man is actually a cultivator, but he is not a Qi practitioner, but a professional cultivator who specializes in cultivation. According to their professional terminology, they are called body refiners. His current cultivation level is equivalent to that of a late-stage foundation-building cultivator.

The first purpose of Iron Man's visit this time is to take pictures of the landscape painting that is being shot, which is the map leading to the alchemist's cave. The second purpose is to avenge Xue Shanji, a member of the organization. He has already received the news that Xue Shanji

He was beaten to death by a policewoman named Xu Yan. After taking this landscape painting, he would rush to Jiangnan City overnight to kill Xu Yan.

At present, the bidding price of landscape paintings has climbed to more than 12 million yuan, and there are not many people bidding, only a few people.

The bidding continues...

"Fifteen million."

The old man in Tang suit finally spoke. As soon as he opened his mouth, he added three million, and the scene fell into silence.

A few seconds later, a thunderous voice sounded; "Twenty million."

Everyone in the venue turned to look at the iron man in the back row of the venue. It was he who just raised the price by five million after a wave of silence. This price has far exceeded the antique value of the item itself. If there was no inscription by a senior official, this painting would cost one hundred

Ten million topping, plus the inscriptions by senior officials of the Qing Dynasty, the maximum amount is about eleven or two million.

Now that the price has soared so high, many people have given up bidding and switched to watching.

"Thirty million!" The old man in Tang suit was determined to win this landscape painting, so he directly increased the price by ten million without thinking, hoping to scare the iron man with the high price.

"Fifty million." Iron Man directly added 20 million, and then looked at the old man in Tang suit with disdain, thinking in his heart: "If you add 10 million, you want to scare me. I will double it and see what you do!

"

When the old man in Tang suit heard Iron Man's bid, his heart began to fluctuate a little. It seemed that that man was also here for the one-third treasure map, and he was bound to get it. He originally paid 30 million, which was enough to take the treasure map, but he didn't

Thinking of finding Cheng Yaojin on the way, he directly raised the price to 50 million.

However, the old man in Tang suit is bound to get this treasure map, but he only has 80 million at this time. If he wants to get the money again, he doesn't have the time. He can only use his inner tactics to directly raise the price to 80 million and make

Looking like you have a winning ticket may scare off bidders.

So, without hesitation, the old man in Tang suit raised his placard again and said casually: "Eighty million!"

Prices keep rising, irritating people's nerves all the time. Most of the people here can afford 80 million, but they won't buy such a painting because it's not worth it. 80 million is not 800,000.

.This is just a small town, unlike those first-tier metropolises where auction items worth hundreds of millions of dollars often appear.

Today, there may be an auction item worth over 100 million in the small town of Nanling. Currently, the landscape painting has reached 80 million, and they are increasing the price by tens of millions. It is really a matter of Miao Miaozhong to bid over 100 million.

When Iron Man heard the price increase of the old man in Tang Suit, the corner of his mouth curved into a disdainful smile, and then he raised the sign in his hand, glanced at the old man in Tang Suit, and said provocatively: "I'll pay 100 million."

Wow! The whole place was in an uproar. Tonight, the auction of hundreds of millions of items in Nanling Town will definitely sweep the country, and Nanling Town will follow suit.

"Giggle, 100 million! You are really rich..." The femme fatale sneered. Iron Man's 100 million is destined to lead to hundreds of flowers, because after the auction, one-third of the treasure maps that Iron Man took will be in her hands. With her gold

It's really a piece of cake and effortless for those who are in the middle stage of alchemy to grab something that is equivalent to those who are in the late stage of foundation building.

However, when the old man in Tang suit heard the Iron Man's bid, the corner of his mouth twitched. At this point, he was powerless. It seemed that he could not get the one-third of the treasure map through normal means, so he could only find a way to seize it secretly...

…

Iron Man spent 100 million to take a picture of the landscape painting and left the auction venue. Not long after he left, the femme fatale and the old man in Tang suit left the venue one after another.

In the underground parking lot of the auction hotel, Iron Man just came to a Land Rover and suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the old man in Tang suit and the femme fatale behind him.

"I knew you would come a long time ago, but I advise you to pay less attention to the treasure map in my hand. You can't afford to offend me. I am the iron man of Dark Soul Hall. As long as you dare to snatch the treasure map in my hand today,

, I dare say you won’t survive three days.

"Tie Ren pretended to be confident, but in fact he was still a little worried. Although Dark Soul Hall is awesome, they are also cultivators. Maybe they are from the Five Sects and Eight Sects. Compared with the Five Sects and Eight Sects, Dark Soul Hall

It's still down a notch.

"Giggle... A mere Dark Soul Hall just wants to scare me, telling me that I don't even look down on people from all walks of life. Big guy, if you don't want to suffer the pain of flesh and blood, I advise you to take the initiative to take the treasure in your hands.

Show me the picture, this is a smart decision." The femme fatale said with a sweet smile, her aura rising and rising, only revealing all of her cultivation in the middle stage of the golden elixir.

The old man in Tang suit felt the aura of the femme fatale and was startled. He didn't expect that the delicate-looking woman in front of him had a higher cultivation level than him. No wonder he couldn't see the femme fatale's cultivation level just now.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a senior in the middle stage of the Golden Core in this small town of Nanling. Please forgive my blindness for not recognizing the famous femme fatale female senior." The old man in Tang suit sighed, cupped his hands and said. He only has gold.

In the early days of Dan, he was no match for the femme fatale, and tonight he could only return empty-handed.

"Femme Fatale!" Iron Man's heart trembled when he heard these four words. It seems that he is destined to be robbed today! Femme Fatale is a crazy woman who even dares to steal from all the five sects.

Take it seriously, let alone his iron man status.

"Hey, old man, what are you yelling at? You're calling me senior. Be careful, I'll pull out your beard. Do you believe it?" the femme fatale said angrily. Being called senior by an old man with flowing silver hair didn't mean she was being called senior.

Called old?

"Uh..." The old man in Tang suit sweated profusely. In the world of cultivation, all masters are masters. The femme fatale has a higher cultivation level than him, and she is not just a senior. That's right! He really couldn't figure out where he offended the femme fatale. He was helpless.

He shook his head and could only leave silently. He had nothing to do if he stayed here. There was a femme fatale in the treasure map. He thought he couldn't defeat her, so leaving now was the best option.

Seeing the old man in Tang suit leaving in disgrace, the femme fatale looked at Iron Man and said slowly: "Do you want me to do it, or give it to me yourself? Choose one of the two!"

"Oh, femme fatale, you robbed me today. Tomorrow my elder brother will take more of the treasure map from you. Maybe my elder brother will get you in a rage, so I advise you to be less.

Pay attention to the treasure map in my hand." Iron Man pretended to be calm and said.

"Haha~~~~" The femme fatale burst out laughing when she heard Iron Man's words. She laughed for a while and then said: "To tell the truth, a few days ago, I snatched a treasure map from your elder brother, and he chased me.

One night, I got angry and beat your elder brother half to death, and now he is still lying on the bed?"

"What? My eldest brother's injury was caused by you." Iron Man was very shocked and very angry. His eldest brother was the backbone of Dark Souls. His eldest brother came back from serious injury a few days ago and has been in seclusion. He has not come out yet. Before, his eldest brother

If the injury is injured, it will take at least one day of seclusion to heal and come out. It has only been a few days and his eldest brother has not come out yet. It can be seen that the injury is very serious.

"Humph, believe it or not, big man, after telling you so much, I have no patience anymore, so you should die!"

The femme fatale's eyes narrowed, and a blue sword suddenly appeared in her hand. Then she suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Iron Man in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a cold blue light appeared in front of Iron Man's eyes. He immediately reached out to block it, but unfortunately it was too late. He only felt a chill on his neck, then lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

…

At the same time, in Ge Ling'er's boudoir at Villa No. 22 in Haiwan Villa District, Jiangnan City, Ye Dong and Ge Ling'er were practicing double cultivation.

At this time, the two people were exuding two kinds of light, yellow and blue, and the light kept alternating. This had never appeared before, and the essence of the moonlight outside the window and the spiritual energy of the earth converged into little starlights, swarming into the two people's bodies, and transformed into them.

The spiritual power in the meridians, the spiritual power in the two people's bodies will become stronger every time they move through the Great Zhoutian. Of course, this is also the case for dual cultivators, but today the two of them can clearly feel the difference, because the speed at which they move through the Great Zhoutian becomes faster and faster.

Coming faster and faster.

At this moment, the two of them knew that they were about to break through to the middle stage of foundation building, so they both focused on their dual cultivation.

Before you know it, an hour has passed!
Chapter completed!
