Food: Who uses an electric rice cooker to make elixirs?

"My fellow Taoists, the next item to be auctioned is extremely special!"

"This is a fourth-level monster captured in the South China Sea, a rare beast on land.——"

The auctioneer was talking, creating a good atmosphere, and at the same time he lifted the cloth covering the glass water tank, revealing the true face of the auction item.

Several cultivators sitting in the front row on the first floor were suddenly in an uproar.

The glass water tank contained a fourth-level monster, the white-striped reef crayfish!

The shrimp was so huge that it filled the water tank the size of a double bed.

Especially the huge claws, which looked full of power.

Zhu Fan looked at the big claws and then at the shrimp tail.

This, this, this, how much meat is there!

Zhu Fan subconsciously smacked his lips, missing the taste of shrimp.

Zhu Fan swallowed his saliva in the box upstairs, and many bidders sitting in the front row on the first floor also swallowed their saliva.

However, Zhu Fan was greedy, while the customers in the front row were scared.

Is your auction going crazy?

Such a big monster, still alive, you are hitting me in the face?

Do you think your customers die too slowly or what?

The faces of the less powerful cultivators in the front row turned green, and they almost flew up into the sky.

"Fellow Daoists, don’t panic!"

The auctioneer waved his hands to appease the crowd:

"This Liuche jar was made by a fifth-grade weapon refiner, and there is an array formation engraved inside, so trapping a fourth-grade monster is no problem at all!"

"I, Chang, hereby promise that I will ensure your safety.——"

"You know, this is a monster that only exists in the South China Sea, and it is rarely seen in other places!"

Everyone listened to the auctioneer's words, and gradually calmed down, looking at the monster in the sea.

Indeed, the monster in the sea is different from the shrimp monster in the river.

The shell and the big claws are good materials for refining weapons, and many refiners present were immediately tempted.

"What a fuss."

Zheng Liang shrugged as he looked at the situation below in the box:

"The Chang family is the boss of Linchang City. The auction they hold will definitely be well prepared. What is there to be afraid of?"

Shen Ang and others also nodded, thinking that what Zheng Liang said was right.

Then - the fourth-level white-striped reef crayfish looked very irritated for some reason.

Maybe because so many people were staring at it, it fluttered in anger, and its tail popped out and hit the formation on the side of the Liuche tank.

Then the water tank"popped" and a crack appeared.

Because the tank was transparent, the crack looked very obvious...

Auctioneer:?

Customer in the front row:?!

Seeing that everyone's expressions became terrified again, the auctioneer hurriedly said:

"It's just a small crack! Don't worry about it!"

Then the auctioneer stretched out his hand and activated the formation that had been set up long ago, and once again fixed the white-striped reef crayfish.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with the Chang family? They didn't even bother to hire a sixth-grade weapon refiner. How can they accomplish anything by being so stingy?"

Shen Ang shook his head. He could tell that the quality of the Liuche jar was not very good. It was estimated that the weapon refiner who forged it had just been promoted to the fifth grade not long ago, and the finished product was still not up to standard.

"Indeed."Zheng Liang nodded:"At least they are not too stupid, and they know to add a set of formations. With the formations, it should be fine."

Zhu Fan felt something was wrong when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Liang more.

Then... the white-striped reef crayfish seemed to have ignited the hope of life after seeing the cracks, and it fluttered even harder.

The formation emitted a bright light, trying to control the situation.

But I don't know how the white-striped reef crayfish fluttered, and its tail was swung somewhere, which short-circuited the formation, and the formation began to flash and sparkle.

Customers in the front row:Σ(っ °Д °;)Auctioneer

:... Array Master, I'll deal you*&;%￥#Countless vulgar words gushed out of the auctioneer's mind, but he still forced a smile:

"No... It's okay, maybe this solid formation is lacking energy, just replenish it!"

After saying that, the auctioneer immediately took out a few spirit stones and stuffed them into the core of the formation, which made the formation get rid of the flickering state and began to light up again.

The white-striped reef crayfish was also pushed back.

The customers in the front row looked at the auctioneer with lingering fear, and then looked back, as if they wanted to move to the back row.

The auctioneer tried to appease the customers with pale and powerless words, trying to save the situation:

"Fellow Taoists, don’t worry. This Gu Pan formation has already replenished its spiritual power and can completely control this shrimp monster!"

Zheng Liang in the box looked at the tank and the formation and said:

"The auctioneer was right. The Gupan Formation was indeed enough to imprison a fourth-level monster. There was really nothing to be afraid of."

This time, not only Zhu Fan, but the other disciples present also cast their eyes on Zheng Liang, with complicated expressions.

And then - the white-striped reef crayfish seemed to be extremely angry, and the demonic energy on its body burst out, and then it actually broke the formation with a"bang"!

Its body suddenly became even larger, and it was not enough to break the formation, even the tank was blown up! It actually broke through to the fifth level directly!

Auctioneer: I TM...

Customer in the front row:(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)Help!!!

Zhu Fan looked at Zheng Liang, who was also confused, in a daze, and was greatly impressed.

I didn't expect that Senior Brother Zheng not only knows how to help others, but also can help others...

Several low-level cultivators sitting in the front row were frightened and flew all over the place, and the scene was suddenly in chaos.

Wei Hengwen frowned and stood up to block his junior brothers and sisters.

Fortunately, they didn't have to worry for a few seconds, and the cultivators of the Chang family immediately took action.

Four cultivators of the Chang family jumped into the venue. Two of them dealt with the white-striped reef crayfish together with the auctioneer, and the other two stopped the flying customers and cultivators to prevent them from poking a hole in the roof of the auction.

After all, the white-striped reef crayfish is strong in the water. On land, it is still unable to exert its strength. Soon it was pinned to the ground by several cultivators and could not resist.

Under the joint suppression of several strong men of the Chang family, the auction finally restored order.

Zheng Liang was relieved to see that the situation had stabilized:

"Hey, although the Chang family’s arrangement for the auction is not very good, these cultivators are still... um? Baji, Baji!"

Zhu Fan smiled and stuffed a mouthful of peanuts into Zheng Liang's mouth:

"Come, brother, have some snacks, eat more, don't be polite."

Brother, please don't say anything more, I'm afraid if you continue to talk, I won't be able to go back...

Shen Ang and Ruan Man saw that there was food, and they immediately came over and grabbed a handful each.

This is the five-spice peanuts that Zhu Fan fried a few days ago. It is very suitable for snacks when you are bored.

The method is very simple. Just soak the peanuts in clean water, and then sprinkle some salt and five-spice powder into it to season it.

After the peanuts are soaked in the water for a few hours, take them out and control the water, then use a pot on a low fire to slowly dry the peanuts.

The crispy shell can be opened with just a light pinch, revealing the inside. Golden yellow kernels.

The collision of teeth and kernels made a crisp sound, and the fragrant smell was released after the peanut kernels were crushed, filling the entire mouth.

Several people ate peanuts with a crunch, and their mouths moved around like little hamsters.

Zhu Fan continued to peel peanuts. After peeling for a while, he felt a little strange. He didn't see other people throwing out the shells. He looked up and saw that these guys didn't even let go of the shells and ate them all.

Zhu Fan:?

Who eats peanuts with the shells?

Facing Zhu Fan's puzzled look, Zheng Liang said with a smile:

""Brother Zhu Fan, this peanut shell has absorbed enough flavor, it would be a waste to throw it away!" After that, he threw the whole peanut into his mouth.

Zhu Fan:...Brothers, just be happy.

While they were happily eating peanuts, the auction below finally continued.

Because there was no suitable tank, several Chang family cultivators simply stood on the stage and worked together to hold down the white-striped reef crayfish so that it could not move.

The auctioneer did not expect that so many people would squeeze onto the auction stage, which made him a little uncomfortable.

But the auctioneer still firmly picked up his professional qualities and tried to show a business smile:

"Fellow Taoists, although there were some minor accidents just now, they are not serious. The important thing is——"

"This white-striped reef crayfish transformed from a fourth-level monster to a fifth-level monster!"

"In other words, its shell, claws, demon pills and other materials will have more powerful effects! Artifact refiners and alchemists, don't miss out on such precious materials!"

"Now, the auction of the fifth-level white-striped reef crayfish begins——"
