Langya Pavilion Auction, Tang Yun

Under the old locust tree in Luo Village.

After Song Chengan learned the location of Mount Luofeng, he had planned to set off immediately.

But First Boss Bai told him to pay his respects at the old locust tree again.

So Song Chengan came.

He still didn't understand why First Boss Bai wanted him to pay respects to this old locust tree.

However, he thought that ancient trees were spiritual and could be considered deities, so paying respects couldn't be wrong.

Thus, he came.

Song Chengan solemnly bowed three times.

"This junior doesn't know Senior's specific identity, but Senior Bai repeatedly asked me to come and pay respects, so there must be some hidden reason I don't know."

"From now on, whenever I come to Mount Luo, I will come to pay my respects to Senior."

He thought for a moment and said.

"If I have the chance to find that divine object that can restore vitality, this junior will definitely bring it to Senior."

The scorched old locust tree remained standing silently.

But a clear breeze suddenly rose from the flat ground.

Taixuan Commandery.

"Is this a big city!"

Song Chengan looked at the magnificent buildings in the distance, his expression like that of a country bumpkin.

On both sides of the main road, shops lined up, with all sorts of stores standing side by side.

The tall buildings in the distance were as exquisite as palaces.

Occasionally, passersby would look at Song Chengan with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Song Chengan like this, others knew he was from out of town and it was his first time in Taixuan City.

"I've got the feeling."

Song Chengan's youth had returned.

He remembered his first time visiting a big city in his previous life.

Song Chengan shook his head and then walked towards an exquisite building in the distance.

Langya Pavilion.

Along the way, Song Chengan heard people bragging and learned that this was the largest auction house in Taixuan City.

Most importantly, unlike the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce in the Ghost Market, it didn't just sell things Song Chengan couldn't afford.

This Langya Pavilion catered to both the poor and the rich.

Here, you could buy Spirit Essence Pills for eight Talisman Coins each, or spirit beasts for over a million Talisman Coins each.

It could be said that as long as you had a need, Langya Pavilion had it for sale.

"Heavenly Star Grass?"

"A mid-grade Magic Tool level peach wood sword?"

"Whoa, is this a flying spirit beast that has Foundation Establishment level strength after reaching adulthood?"

"Flying ship?"

Song Chengan's eyes were dazzled by what he saw.

"The auction has begun!"

"It's started!"

"Hurry, hurry, there won't be any seats left soon!"

Just then, someone said.

Then Song Chengan saw a group of people rushing inside.

An auction?

Song Chengan was stunned.

He remembered that wasn't attending an auction usually by invitation only?

The Phoenix Chamber of Commerce was like that.

For the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce's auctions, invitations were only sent to famous experts in Lingqiu City, as well as the Five Great Families, Xuanqing Temple, and the like.

This Langya Pavilion was too accessible.

Anyone could participate?

But the question was, did this group of people have the purchasing power?

Song Chengan wondered, looking at a beggar leaning on a crutch among them.

Strange?

At the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, they would politely 'invite' you out, right?

Song Chengan grabbed a guy.

This guy was wearing a green robe, a jade belt inlaid with gems around his waist, and jade thumb rings on all ten fingers. He looked very powerful.

"Brother, what's going on with this auction? Why is everyone going?"

The guy glanced at Song Chengan and said, "Looking at you, you're not from Taixuan, are you?"

Song Chengan cupped his fists. "To be honest, this junior has just arrived in your esteemed territory."

"That makes sense then."

"It's normal that you don't know about this. The reason these people are acting like this..."

"...is because after the auction ends, there's a 'Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers' segment. Everyone is heading there for the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers?"

This guy seemed very patient.

Song Chengan heard this and asked, "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers?"

"Does Langya Pavilion's auction have a cultural performance?"

"What cultural performance?"

"It's when they invite beautiful fairies to dance."

The person shook his head. "No, if you want to watch dancing, you can go to Rouge House."

"This Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers is when they throw pills down, and whoever picks them up gets them!"

"Any cultivator can participate."

"Last time, several people picked up Third-grade Pills!"

"You..."

"Hurry up, brother, or we won't get a spot if we're late!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Song Chengan rushed in.

Third-grade Pills.

One could be worth four to five thousand Talisman Coins, right?

Even the worst Third-grade Pill.

As expected of a large-scale auction house.

By the skin of his teeth.

Song Chengan squeezed into the auction house.

After he entered, he immediately noticed something.

It turned out that Langya Pavilion was a seven-story circular building.

And in the center of this building was an auction stage.

The first floor was for people like Song Chengan, who had little spending power and were there to join the fun and pick up pills.

There were no seats.

A large crowd of people were packed together, craning their necks towards the auction stage.

From the second floor upwards, there were seats arranged for people of status.

As for the seventh floor.

There were private rooms, with bead curtains obscuring the view of the people inside.

With a cultivator's eyesight, ordinary bead curtains at this distance would not be able to block their vision.

"They're all Magic Tools!"

Song Chengan clicked his tongue.

It seemed that behind those bead curtains were the big shots of Taixuan City!

"Welcome everyone to Langya Pavilion's monthly small auction. The first item to be auctioned this time is a Storage Magic Tool," an old man slowly appeared on the auction stage.

In the center of the auction stage, there seemed to be a platform that could flexibly rise and fall.

"It's a jade pendant."

"It has a space of three zhang within, and it's a High-grade Magic Treasure-level Storage Magic Tool."

"Starting bid, three thousand Talisman Coins."

"Three thousand five hundred Talisman Coins!"

A loud shout erupted next to Song Chengan.

It startled him.

He turned his head.

The person's face immediately broke into a smile upon seeing him.

"Brother, we meet again. I am Tang Yun."

Song Chengan cupped his fists. "I am Song Chengan!"

"This guest bids three thousand five hundred Talisman Coins. Are there any higher bids?"

"Four thousand Talisman Coins," a faint voice echoed from the third floor.

"Five thousand Talisman Coins."

"Are there any higher bids?"

"Good brother."

"I'll chat with you later. Let me spar with these guys first!"

Tang Yun finished speaking and shouted, "Eight thousand Talisman Coins!"

"Eight thousand Talisman Coins!"

"Are there any higher bids?"

"Langya Pavilion accepts bartering. If you don't have ready Talisman Coins, you can use other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures as an exchange!"

"Eight thousand one hundred," someone on the second floor said.

"That expensive?"

Song Chengan clicked his tongue.

"Storage Magic Tools are a hard currency, essential for everyone, so their prices have always been high," Tang Yun explained.

Song Chengan nodded in agreement.

It made sense.

Without Magic Tools, a cultivator was like someone going into a dungeon with too small a backpack.

You kept getting loot, but you had no inventory space to pick it up.

If I get the chance, I need to get a Storage Magic Tool too!

"Two thousand seven hundred Talisman Coins!"

"Three thousand five hundred Talisman Coins!"

For the next period, Tang Yun continued to bid.

"Brother Tang, you want this Women's Magic Robe too?"

Tang Yun chuckled. "Alas, to be honest, I have a special someone, and I've been agonizing over what gift to give her recently. This magic robe seems like a good choice."
