Chapter 652: Characteristics of the Jade Flute and the Ghost Xun

After the steward walked up to the platform, he first gave a long speech and then got straight to the point.

Ten longevity pills will still be sold this time, and the rules are the same as before. The prizes will be drawn by lot by throwing number cards. Only ten number cards will be drawn from them, and one pill will be sold for each number card. The price is uniform, one thousand and two taels of silver per pill. It is fair and just.

However, the sale of the longevity elixir comes last, and the other items will be auctioned first.

As a last resort, many people could only wait patiently. It was precisely because of this that the number of guests in Ruyuan Tower was greater and it was more lively than before. Nowadays, it was difficult for people without status and money to participate, and the reputation of Ruyuan Tower also rose accordingly.

The auction started, and there were many kinds of items to be auctioned. In the past, most of them were jewelry, but now there are more items for exorcising and preventing evil spirits.

Since several major wars in Zhongzhou recently involved controlling evil spirits, this kind of things began to circulate widely in the market. Talisman makers and coal refiners worked hard to produce a large number of evil-repelling items, but the quality was uneven. Only the treasures auctioned in Ruyuan Tower were worth looking at, but they were expensive.

However, Si He lost interest after just one look.

Nowadays, skilled refiners are often won over by powerful people, and even if they refine good things, they will not easily spread them out.

For example, the weapon refiners that Yue Fuli had summoned before have been busy refining some treasures to defend against evil spirits for their subordinates to protect themselves since they refined the ghost xun for Si He. If they don't have good refining materials, they will just make a large number of ordinary talismans.

Now, not only they are doing this, but major forces in other states are also doing the same. They are all making full preparations and want to emulate their previous evil fights.

The originally traditional battlefield fighting has now changed its pattern due to Si He's previous several large-scale battles to control evil spirits.

This matter not only affected the battlefield, but also the major aristocratic families paid special attention to it. In particular, there was an obvious example in Guang'an City, the Guo family.

The Guo family had suffered heavy losses before due to being invaded by evil spirits, and then they were hit by bad luck, with disasters happening one after another, leading to their current state of extreme poverty.

However, because Si He was so famous on the battlefield, her ability to control evil spirits was widely spread. Many people speculated that she was involved in the previous events of the Guo family. There were many rumors, but because of her current status and position, no one dared to discuss them openly.

Even so, the people of the Guo family could only pretend that they heard nothing and tried their best to show goodwill to her and seek protection.

But in the final analysis, the people of the Guo family were still afraid that she would retaliate again, so they came to visit her the day after she entered the city, and acted very humble in front of outsiders, at least to prevent her from punishing them openly.

Si He didn't care about the Guo family's various plans. She had taught them a lesson before, and she had also taken most of the Guo family's wealth. As long as they didn't provoke her in the future, she was too lazy to distract herself to deal with them.

At this moment, the auctioneer on the stage was vividly introducing a bronze talisman that could protect against evil spirits. This was made by a master and the item was quite good, so everyone was bidding and the atmosphere was very lively.

"One hundred and fifty taels of silver!"

"Two hundred taels of silver!"

"Three hundred taels!"

"Three hundred and fifty taels!"

……

In a short while, the price of this thing was raised very high, much more expensive than before!

Finally, it was bought by a distinguished guest in the private room upstairs for nine hundred taels of silver. At this time, everyone in Ruyuan Building was talking about it.

Si He couldn't help but feel unbelievable when she saw that such a bronze talisman was sold at a price ten times higher than before.

The next item to be auctioned is quite interesting. It is a jade flute with a peculiar shape.

The auctioneer introduced: "This jade flute is called the Lingyin Flute. Playing it can disturb the minds of evil spirits. It is a rare treasure..."

Si He watched with interest. The function of this thing was somewhat similar to her ghost flute.

Since her ghost xun played a big role in several previous battles, there are now many similar things on the market. There are many xun-type treasures, as well as flute-type ones. In short, there are many varieties, and the effects are similar, but each one is different.

But nothing can compare with her ghost flute. After all, the most important thing is that the ghost flute contains the Yin-Gathering Stone and the Soul-Snatching Stone, which are full of evil energy.

The Soul-Snatching Stone is okay, but the Yin-Gathering Stone is at the top of the list of evil things. Moreover, it is rare and very harmful. Even if someone owns it, they will use it to nurture evil things and would not dare to use it to exorcise evil spirits.

Just like her Yin Gathering Stone was previously used by those Taoists to nurture evil creatures, which brought disaster to the people in the entire town, but no one could control this thing.

When Ning Ji taught her how to control the evil spirit, he only mobilized a small portion of the evil spirit and did not drive it as wantonly as she did now.

After all, she is a living dead, and the evil spirit of the Yin Stone can temper her body. However, when the evil spirit becomes strong enough, she will feel uncomfortable and it will also accelerate the time of her sleep. It is not like a normal person, where the negative effects are so great.

Her ghost xiao was actually a really deadly weapon, the kind that could injure the enemy by 800 but harm herself by 1,000. After all, when she held the ghost xiao, she could feel the strongest evil spirit at close range.

The evil energy gushing out of the ghost flute is like a volcanic eruption. If the people at the crater cannot withstand this horrific harm, they will definitely be in trouble before their enemies.

Therefore, in order to use the ghost flute, in addition to her special physique, other people must make targeted defensive preparations, and the defensive equipment must not be bad, so that it can be used for a short period of time.

This jade flute looks strange, but it is actually a bit flashy and impractical. There are some special methods on the market to deal with this kind of things. If you encounter one, it will be of no use.

Moreover, this jade flute can only deal with ordinary evil creatures at most. As for evil spirits that are powerful enough, it is not very effective.

With her ghost xun as a "jewel in front of her", she lost interest after taking a closer look at the material and function of this jade flute.

While watching the auctioneer downstairs explaining the jade flute, she told Yue Fuli her opinion.

Originally, Yue Fuli planned to take a picture of it and give it to his Taoist subordinates for use, but after listening to her analysis, he gave up the idea.

At this moment, the auction for the jade flute began, with the starting price being four hundred and ninety taels of silver.

When everyone heard this, they began to bid.

"Five hundred taels!"

"Six hundred taels!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

"One thousand taels!"

……

For a time, the price of this thing continued to rise.

This thing is more popular than the previous defensive treasures. Of course, this is mainly because the auctioneer, when describing the function of the jade flute, implicitly used it as a metaphor for Si He's ghost xun.
