Because this is the territory of Qingxuan Sect, and because when the inner disciples saw these little birds, their faces showed smiles as if they were seeing relatives, and they called this bird "Qingxuan Bird".

With such a name in his mouth, not to mention just resting on their shoulders, even if he shits on their heads, everyone will laugh and say "so cute".

So far, this bird is the fourth bird named "Qingxuan" after Qingxuan Sect, Qingxuan Domain, and Qingxuan Five Elders.

Although this little bird doesn't look very special, judging from its interaction with the human monks, it seems to be more spiritual at best.

The reason why Meng Zhou paid more attention to them was that they paid "key attention" to him first.

At first, when these little birds first appeared, they watched from a distance and flew around with the crowd.

Later, when I saw that everyone was acting kindly, I got closer and had close contact with everyone.

But after this close contact, differences gradually became apparent.

They were the first to abandon the fake elixir attendants, and then they also threw aside those attendants in the later stages of foundation building.

They only circled around Meng Zhou and the other thirteen alchemy monks. In the end, more and more Qingxuan birds surrounded Meng Zhou, while there were fewer and fewer Qingxuan birds around the other alchemy monks.

This change was not completed instantly, but lasted for three days.

Not only the other Dan-jie monks who were traveling with him also cast curious and probing glances at him.

The inner sect guides who were traveling with him looked at him with wide eyes and bright eyes, and their attitude towards him became obviously much more eager.

Previously, although there was a huge gap in realm between these people and them, when dealing with them, they always maintained a respectful but not flattering attitude, adhering to the attitude of the disciples of the sect.

Now, with the strange behavior of Qingxuanniao, they actually have a little bit of flattery.

Meng Zhou, who had no idea why, stood in the center of everyone's attention for no apparent reason. Faced with this change, not only was he not happy, but he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.

At this moment, when he, Yao Gu and others came out of the cave, they were warmly "received" by hundreds of green black birds with green feathers and green crowns.

It wasn't until Meng Zhou showed anger in his heart that these blue black birds seemed to realize his unhappiness. They no longer approached him, but flew around him far away.

However, although Meng Zhou felt something was wrong, his mood was basically stable.

The behavior of the inner disciples of Qingxuan Sect at least made him understand that this was not something that would cause immediate trouble.

However, this kind of "bird-like" spotlight effect is not a comfortable experience for Meng Zhou, who is used to keeping a low profile.

Meng Zhou had already made up his mind to ask clearly why Qingxuanniao behaved like this later.

In the spiritual world, there are some animals with special abilities.

For example, treasure-hunting rats can identify where the most valuable treasures grow.

Another example is the mourning bird, which brings bad luck to people wherever they appear, which once made this bird "stigmatized".

But it was later confirmed that they did not bring bad luck, they just sensed that certain people were going to be unlucky and "predicted" them in advance.

Meng Zhou guessed that this blue black bird, which looked nothing special, was probably a creature with similar characteristics.

Meng Zhou was thinking about finding an inner disciple to find out what happened after the trade fair was over. As soon as he arrived at Xiaoxuan Peak, he saw Jing Yun, whom he had not seen for many days, waiting there.

Seeing a group of them arriving, he nodded casually and greeted the others, then looked at the blue black birds behind Meng Zhou and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Ge, I heard that the snobs were targeting you alone. I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"Snobbish bird?" Meng Zhou wondered.

Jing Yun explained with a smile:

"This is the blue black bird, we also call it the snobbish bird, because they are born with a pair of snobbish eyes, and they can make the most of the wind and ignore the highs and lows."

Jing Yun explained a lot to him with a smile, his attitude was obviously much closer than that on the spaceship that day, and there was even undisguised admiration in his eyes.

But Meng Zhou felt a little overwhelmed by his admiring gaze.

After his explanation, Meng Zhou realized how terrifying Qingxuanniao's "snobbery" was.

In a group - whether it is human monks or monsters in the wild, they can find the most powerful and important being to them in a special way.

Then, he "shamelessly" came forward.

Meng Zhou didn't know whether Qingxuanzong did this on purpose or not.

Anyway, hundreds of Qingxuan birds have now "identified" him, and Jingyun also recognized the clues given by these birds.

He just smiled and took Meng Zhou into the trade fair venue.

In a medium-sized venue, four to five hundred people had gathered. As Meng Zhou and his party entered, these people cast curious, inquisitive, or indifferent glances.

Jingyun had already made arrangements and reserved a large space for them in advance.

Jing Yun asked everyone to sit down wherever they pleased.

In front of where everyone was sitting casually, there was a setup that looked like an auction stage.

But unlike the auctions in Hexin Tower where hierarchy and structure are evident everywhere, the largest number of late-stage foundation-building monks, the few fake alchemy monks, and some alchemy-forming monks all sit casually in twos and threes.

While waiting for the trade fair to start, everyone was still chatting casually.

After Jingyun led Meng Zhou, Cao Lie, Song Yang and others to prepare the area reserved in advance, a middle-aged man appeared on the auction stage with a smile, and first gently nodded in the direction of Meng Zhou and others.

He nodded and then said:

"There are guests here today, so I have prepared some more opening items. Anyone who is interested can compete, but..."

Having said this, his eyes swept through the crowd, lingering on certain people for a moment. It seemed that these people were the "thorns" he was paying close attention to.

"Don't be vindictive! If anyone makes today's transaction unhappy, I will make him unhappy for the rest of his life."

After he issued this warning, Meng Zhou felt that the atmosphere against outsiders like them had significantly weakened.

The middle-aged man turned to Meng Zhou and others and said:

"Let me introduce to all our guests that our transaction will be divided into two parts.

One is the auction that I am currently hosting. When the auction ends, everyone can trade freely and exchange what they have."

Having said this, he paused and then said:

"If you really like some items later, but you don't have enough spiritual stones with you, don't worry. The Deacon Hall can help you advance the payment in advance. You just need to pay it back within the agreed time."

He saw the expressions of surprise and uncertainty on some people's faces, and explained again:

"Don't worry, there is no interest, and you will pay back whatever you pay in advance. However, you also need to pay attention to doing what you can."

After explaining, he ignored Meng Zhou and others, and a red flying sword appeared in his hand.

"A third-level mid-grade flying sword. It just came out of the furnace in the Alchemy Palace. It's still warm. The starting price is 500 high-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than ten. Let's start."

After that, he quietly waited for everyone to bid.

Meng Zhou clearly felt that the attention of Cao Lie, Song Yang and others beside him were instantly focused on the flying sword.

No one expected that this transaction would be so high-end as soon as it started.

However, they did not bid immediately, but looked at the Qingxuan Sect's alchemy monks present.

However, the reaction of these people was... very dull.

Everyone was a little confused at first, and then suddenly realized.

Since such a flying sword was refined by the Qingxuan Sect's Alchemy Palace, based on the position of the Danjie monks in the Qingxuan Sect, the third-level magic weapon that should be equipped has already been prepared.

Even if they want something better, the third-level mid-range product probably won't satisfy their appetite.

When they thought of this, everyone felt an inexplicable surge of emotion in their hearts.

However, soon, everyone put aside this unnecessary emotion.

If this reasoning is correct, it means that this auction item is basically a "welfare" tailor-made for them by Qingxuan Sect!

For this kind of weapon that can immediately improve one's own strength, it is likely to be an important partner for decades or even centuries to come. Although everyone is a handful, there is no reason to be humble and give in to each other.

So soon, everyone started bidding.

Soon, the price of this flying sword rose from the starting price of 500 to 1,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Finally, it was acquired at a high price of 1,200 high-grade spiritual stones.

After flying the sword, the middle-aged man took out a third-level mid-grade seal.

After the third-level middle-grade magic seal, there is another third-level low-grade bell-shaped magic weapon.

...Eight third-level magic weapons in succession, half of which are medium-grade and half of which are low-grade.

Except for two of them, Qingxuanzong's pills participated in the competition, and one of them was won by Qingxuanzong's pills. The other seven pieces all fell into the hands of Cao Lie and other foreign pills.
