Gutian Immortal City is a high-level Immortal City of the Outer Sect Alliance, controlled by the forces headed by [Xuanji Tower].

The surrounding oases and spiritual lands, large and small, all have Gutian Fairy City as their business center.

Half a year later, there will be a large-scale auction held once every ten years in Gutian Fairy City.

[Xuanjilou] is one of the organizers.

This force is said to be a force established in Feng Yuan Kingdom by defectors from the Qianji Cult, and is mainly engaged in the puppet business.

Lu Changan wanted to upgrade his puppet clones and create more third-level mid-level puppets, so he was somewhat interested in this auction.

A month before the auction, the Yun brothers and sisters visited again.

"Mr. Xu, grandma is taking us to broaden our horizons and participate in the large-scale auction in Gutian Fairy City next month. Do you want to go with us?"

Yun Ling suggested with hope in her eyes.

"Yeah, that's okay. I'm just about to sell some elixirs and purchase resources."

Lu Changan thought for a moment and did not refuse.

Now that he has a puppet clone, he doesn't have to do all the purchases in the fairy city himself.

Lu Changan was acting as a front, trading normal supplies.

The puppet clone operates in the dark, sells and purchases, and can even go to the black market without fear of being cheated.

Half a month later.

Lu Changan met Granny Yun and the Yun brothers and sisters in Heyuanfang City and set off together.

Granny Yun only showed fake alchemy cultivation.

Lu Changan presented a flying carpet magic weapon that he had made with his own hands. It spread out to a length of five or six feet and was comfortable to ride. He carried four people to Gutian Fairy City.

On the flying carpet, Yun Yan, with gray hair and wrinkled face, sat opposite Lu Changan, looking lonely and taciturn.

Yun Yan felt that Lu Changan was not interested in talking to her.

With her cloudy eyes, she watched Yun Ling chatting happily with Lu Changan, talking and laughing.

This elegant and handsome Mr. Xu is very patient with Linger, has a gentle expression, and does not have the airs of Master Jiedan.

That face that felt comfortable and pleasing to the eye made Yun Yan want to get closer for no reason, and she couldn't help but envy Ling'er.

Faced with "unequal" treatment, given her age and experience, she would actually feel a little uncomfortable and almost have the idea of ​​showing her true appearance.

Although Yun Ling is young and beautiful, she is not as mature and charming as a woman.

Lu Changan did not deliberately alienate Yun Yan.

As Master Lihuo's last official wife, Lu Changan didn't want to get to know her in depth, which would involve more causes and effects.

Yun Yan's vision and understanding are beyond those of ordinary Jiedan masters, so Lu Changan avoids letting her see the clues.

…

Gutian Fairy City is only a few thousand miles away.

The magic weapon controlled by Lu Changan carried several people, but it was not at full speed and arrived at its destination in less than an hour.

Within the field of vision, a large area of ​​spiritual farmland appeared, and on the large sand dune in the center stood a strange deserted city that was half steel and half machinery.

"A fairy city transformed by puppetry skills?"

Lu Changan's eyes lit up and he felt novel.

Far away, I could see the puppet fort extending from the battlements, as well as the puppet giant patrolling near the fairy city.

The patrolling puppet giants are four to five feet tall and are of a quasi-third level. Due to their huge size and thick armor, even a real person with fake pills would be afraid of them in a head-on fight.

These puppet giants are [Xuanji Building]'s external display of force as a deterrent, in order to promote the sale of their own puppet equipment.

Due to the high cost of making puppets, non-puppet masters cannot exert their true power, and they have to share their spiritual consciousness during the battle, so they are relatively unpopular in the world of immortality.

[Xuanji Tower] can be regarded as the inheritance branch of Qianji Sect's puppets, bringing a prosperous puppet civilization to Feng Yuan Kingdom.

Especially in the Outer Sect Alliance, puppet masters are relatively common, obviously more than in the Liang Kingdom.

Puppet materials and inheritance are easier to obtain than the outside world.

A large-scale auction will be held, and there will be a lot of traffic in Gutian Fairy City.

Outside the fairy city, there are some pavilions, chariots, spiritual bird mounts, and magical vehicles filled with light.

In one of the antique palace buildings, there was a faint sound of beautiful music playing, attracting the attention of many monks.

"I heard that the master of Xuanyin Pavilion, Fairy Niyue, is here to participate in this large-scale auction. I wonder which auction item you like?"

"It's a pity that my cultivation is so shallow that I don't have the opportunity to enter the palace of Xuanyin Pavilion and see the celestial beauty of Master Niyue. Only Master Jiedan with prestige can be invited."

"Alas, we can only spend spiritual stones to enter the 'Miaoyin Pavilion' in the city. It is the property of Xuanyin Pavilion. We can admire the beauty of Xuanyin Pavilion's female cultivator, listen to the wonderful sound, and wash the spiritual platform."

Monks from all over the world looked at the ethereal and dreamlike palace, and many of them talked about it and yearned for it.

Lu Changan's powerful spiritual consciousness detected the situation and was not surprised by Xuanyin Pavilion's arrival.

Xuanyin Pavilion moved many years ago and took root in the outer sect alliance area. Most of the major fairy cities nearby have their Miaoyin Pavilion.

The new generation of female disciples in Xuanyin Pavilion are basically recruited from the surrounding areas.

Lu Changan controlled the flying carpet magic weapon and entered Gutian Fairy City.

"I heard that Master Xu has an old relationship with Elder Zhendan of Xuanyin Pavilion. Why don't you go and visit and keep in touch? Master Xu doesn't need to care about us."

Grandma Yun had a kind face and asked tentatively.

"No, the relationship between Xu and Xuanyin Pavilion is normal. They are just dealing with alchemy transactions."

Lu Changan denied.

Grandma Yun smiled and said nothing.

I heard from Ling'er that Mr. Xu had flirted with Fairy Jiang from Xuanyin Pavilion, and even let the latter stay at the manor.

In fact, before the destruction of Lihuo Palace, Yun Yan knew each other and even had a good relationship with the former master of Xuanyin Pavilion, including Master Niyue.

She knew very well how attractive the female cultivators of Xuanyin Pavilion were to the male cultivators due to their beauty, temperament, and musical talent.

…

On the same day, Lu Changan and the Yun family checked into the inn in Gutian Fairy City.

Late at night, Lu Changan quietly released a third-level mid-level puppet clone.

In order to distinguish himself from the assassin codenamed Black Owl, the costume of the puppet clone was greatly changed, transforming into a traveling Taoist priest wearing a bamboo hat.

His attire is 60% to 70% similar to that of the Yuneiqi "Taoist Tianshu" whom Lu Changan had dealt with back then.

Of course, this is just one of the images. The puppet clones will use different images to act in the fairy city.

There are ten days left for the auction.

Lu Changan and the puppet clones were divided into light and dark groups, purchasing or selling resources in Gutian Fairy City.

On the eve of the auction, there is a large flow of people, which is a suitable period for selling stolen goods.

Several days passed.

The puppet clone traveled to major shops in the fairy city and even participated in the underground black market, realizing a large amount of spiritual stones.

The spirit beast cubs and eggs obtained from the Yellow Wolf Master were very popular in the fairy city, and the selling price was higher than Lu Changan expected.

Because many of these varieties are not found in the desert areas at all and can only be brought into Feng Yuan Kingdom by outside monks.

As long as there is no large-scale selling, Lu Changan is not worried about exposing his flaws.

This is because the area of ​​the Outer Sect Alliance has already gathered monks from all over the world, and the Guardian Alliance is only a part of it.

Puppet masters, poison masters, body cultivators, beast control masters, and monks from various schools can all be seen. It can be said that there is a mixture of good and bad.

In addition to spirit beast cubs, eggs, and puppet clones, they also sell some supplies brought from the Liang Kingdom, which are rare here and are expensive.

Lu Changan himself sold some elixirs below the third level, which was inconspicuous in terms of his status.

Just a few days.

Lu Changan and his puppet clones realized more than 100,000 spiritual stones.

The materials for sale, including the eggs of spirit beast cubs, are only a part, and more than 50% are left for the future.

Most of the realized spiritual stones are used to purchase materials for third-level puppets and to inherit more sophisticated puppet skills.

Since Lu Changan didn't have enough connections in Gutian Fairy City, he could only offer a high price or let puppets buy it on the black market.

Two days before the auction, Lu Changan collected the materials for a third-level mid-grade puppet, including the inventory from previous years.

There are also some precious materials that can be bid at the auction.

In addition, Lu Changan also received a puppet inheritance from the Thousand Machines Sect, but it was only at the third level.

"The Thousand Machine Sect's puppet inheritance is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Changan gained a lot of benefit and inspiration from understanding the lower-level puppet inheritance.
