Heavenly Dao Formula

"The guard didn't notice at all." Qian Yan calmly monitored the direction of the aisle and said, "It seems that we guessed right."

If the opponent can detect the fluctuation of magic power or qi, then put the fluctuation link before entering the holy palace - this is the countermeasure that Xia Fan came up with. Li completed the transformation early on, curling up on top of Qianyan's head, and Qianyan's clothes were also deliberately selected, the fluffy skirt and wide hat look very good, but few people would think that there is a mystery hidden in the hat.

The demon will only trigger changes in the Qi mechanism at the moment of transformation, and then it will consume the Qi contained in the body smoothly.

"How long can you maintain your form?" Xia Fan asked.

"At least an hour." Li replied.

Since the cooperation with Lathein was limited to money and interest transactions, Xia Fan did not intend to reveal too much to the other party. Li completed his transformation as soon as he went out, and has been in a state of concealment since then, even Ratherin didn't know about it. Doing so can greatly improve the concealment of actions, but it will also put the fox demon in a state of continuous consumption.

"One hour should be enough." Xia Fan took out a portable audio device from his pocket and strapped it to Li's back. Since it does not have a long enough antenna, its communication range is limited to about three or four miles, and the communication may be detected by the guards, so it is more of an emergency thing.

After finishing these, he stretched out his hand in front of Li.

Li sniffed and remembered Azie's smell.

"How about it?"

"Although I can't compare to Shanhui in searching for scents, as long as it appears within ten steps of me, I should be able to detect it."

Xia Fan nodded, ten steps is not long, but it is enough.

After all, what Li was looking for was not some small and exquisite thing, but the room where Azie Lumen lived.

According to Lassein's information, this person is a frequent visitor to the auctions of the Holy Palace and has a lot of financial resources. It is not unusual to be allocated a good room. The point is that people are habitual creatures, and it is obviously not as good as assigning a set of rooms by the housekeeper every time you visit. So Xia Fan boldly speculated that there are still higher-level rooms in the Holy Palace than the upper rooms, and basically there is a one-person-one-chamber system to satisfy distinguished guests like Azie.

Afterwards, he also confirmed one point from Lassein's insinuation. Except during the auction, few people can determine Azie's whereabouts at other times.

The rooms of St. Blaine's Palace are similar to private lounges, which are only open to auction members. If such rooms can be fixed, the occupants can easily leave some personal items in them. Through them, maybe something different can be found.

Even if you get nothing, you don't have to pay too much.

With Yi Li's size and skill, it can be said that it is difficult for the guards to catch him.

"Then go, pay attention to safety." Xia Fan finally urged.

The fox demon jumped and disappeared into the shadow of the roof beams.

"Let's go back to the auction hall too."

Their positions are also in the front row, only two blocks away from the first row, where they can clearly see the objects photographed on the stage.

"What did you guys do?" Lathein said casually, "The auction will start soon."

"Just went out for a stroll, the air is stuffy here."

"It's because of the tobacco leaves." The defense officer expressed understanding, "This stuff is spicy and choking, and I don't know what to smoke. I'm afraid only human beings like this kind of self-torture."

Of course, Xia Fan would not correct Brother Cracked Tooth's "automatic explanation". And at this moment, the auction officially started.

The host was a young man. He walked up to the stage, and after speaking the fixed welcome speech, he lifted off the red cloth covering the exhibition table.

The first item to be auctioned was a marigold—it was clearly an antique, judging by its condition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the thing in front of you comes from the Sea of ​​Dawn and Dusk, which is an unfamiliar sea area that does not even have a complete chart. The range that the expedition team can reach so far is concentrated on the edge of the Sea of ​​Dawn and Dusk. But—these The brave man who was favored by luck found this golden calendula in a coral reef! Who made it and who abandoned it are all unsolved mysteries. Could anyone have reached that sea area before us, and The time is hundreds of years earlier?"

I have to say that the host is quite experienced, and with just a few words, he raised the mystery of Jinzhan to a higher level, making an ordinary ancient relic instantly connect with a remarkable lost civilization.

"Now the starting price for object No. 1 is 500 gold coins, please bid if you are interested!"

Xia Fan was the first to raise the red card on his left.

"Okay! Someone has already bid 500!" The host said loudly.

Ratherin glanced at him unexpectedly, "Are you sure you want to buy this?"

"Of course not, I just want to experience the feeling of bidding." Xia Fan replied solemnly. This was his first time participating in an auction, and of course he had to unlock a few more life achievements. "Anyway, I can't be the only one shouting, right? I won't follow anyone who raises the price."

However, there was no second person raising his card on the field.

"Is there no bid yet? Does anyone want the golden cup from the mysterious ancient country?" the host asked as he picked up the gavel.

Xia Fan was dumbfounded.

"Is this thing a fake?"

"That's not the case." Latherin said with a half-smile, "It is impossible to fabricate the origin and quality of the things that can be placed here. For the top-level auctions, reputation is the most important thing. So it does come from the Sea of ​​Dawn and Dusk, and it may indeed be connected to an epic history." He deliberately emphasized the possibility, "Put it at home as a display, and it can somewhat improve the taste of the mansion."

"Then why no one wants it?" Olina seemed more anxious than Xia Fan.

"Because this is the number one item." Lathein shrugged, "According to the usual practice, all the good things in the auction will be finalized later, and for truly capable buyers, there is no shortage of such possibilities in their hands. An ancient artifact with a story. And those who are waiting to find the leak are even less likely to invest limited funds in this kind of thing.”

Now it's embarrassing.

If the five hundred gold Keen were placed in Jinxia City, it would be a small expense, but now it is in the West Pole, and the ship's load is limited, and the amount of silver carried is only so much. It is heartbreaking to lose a few thousand taels for no reason.

Xia Fan could only comfort himself silently, at least it was not a fake.

"Three, two... Oh? There is a new bid!" The host's voice suddenly raised, "Seven hundred——at present, it is seven hundred gold coins!"

The price increase system of 258 is adopted here. Every time the red card is raised, the corresponding fixed value will be raised on the basis of the reserve price. For Jinzhan, it is 200 gold coins.

Xia Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned his head to look at the person holding the sign, and found that the person was sitting quite in the back, most of his body was covered by the shadow of the hall, and he was wearing a permeating smiley mask on his face.
