The Black-Corner Region's Auction House Is Quite Interesting!

Under the gaze of countless people, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er walked off the stage side by side.

Han Yue and Hu Jia followed behind.

Yang Shan looked ahead, and the dense crowd immediately and consciously moved to both sides.

Make way for the Dou Wang boss! Xiao Xun'er didn't seem to care about the opinions of those around her.

Or rather, she had already gotten used to it.

"Junior, I knew you could do it."

Xiao Xun'er was clearly in a good mood, so she was noticeably more talkative. "When are we leaving?"

Yang Shan happened to see that murderous gaze from the crowd beside him.

Xiao Aotian! Xiao Aotian even sent Yang Shan a message: "Boss Yang, I just have one question, how much favorability do you have for Xiao Xun'er?"

Yang Shan answered honestly:

"It's still early, he's not even forty yet."

Yang Shan is truly an honest man; there's absolutely no falsehood in what he said. He really isn't even 40 yet; he's still 31 points short!

But Xiao Aotian's mentality collapsed upon seeing this reply.

But he still stubbornly replied:

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that! As long as I'm not over seventy, I can compete with you fairly! Boss Yang, let's keep our cooperation separate from our competition, shall we?"

"I won't interfere. It's just a game, so let's compete when we want to, as long as you don't resort to any underhanded tactics to annoy me. Oh, as a partner in the elixir market, I think I should still offer you a few words of advice."

Yang Shan then posted another message:

"Why don't you consider trying to build up your relationship with other people first? After all, Xiao Xun'er left with me and may not be back for a long time."

Xiao Aotian: "Damn! You win! Just wait until I make it big, and see how I Side Blade your love away!"

Yang Shan: "Actually, I'm quite interested in Xiao Mei too."

Xiao Aotian: "."

Yang Shan felt quite satisfied after disgusting Xiao Aotian.

But Xiao Aotian quickly replied, "I will never give in! You take Xiao Xun'er away. I'll take this opportunity to improve Zi Yan's favorability in the Inner Courtyard, hehehe."

Yang Shan: "You beast, how could you lay a hand on a young girl?"

Xiao Aotian: "Zi Yan is older than my great-grandmother! How dare you call her a little girl?"

Yang Shan: "Do you know where Zi Yan is?"

Xiao Aotian: "I don't know, but you do?"

Yang Shan: "I don't know either, so you'll have to rely on luck. Good luck."

Xiao Aotian: "Alright then, I wish you and Xiao Xun'er a pleasant journey!"

It must be said that Xiao Aotian has a very broad perspective.

Although Xiao Aotian was completely defeated in this chat.

But he really can adjust his mindset very quickly.

And they will immediately try to find the most advantageous path for themselves and continue moving forward.

Yang Shan recalled the famous scene from his previous life where Xiao Aotian died more than ten times at the hands of Medusa.

Perhaps it was Xiao Aotian's indomitable spirit that won Xiao Mei's heart.

Before leaving, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er made a special trip to their mentor Ruo Lin's courtyard.

Upon learning that Yang Shan was going to take Xiao Xun'er away, Instructor Ruo Lin chuckled.

"My two most proud students are going on a mission together! Great news! Yang Shan, you're a man, you have to protect Xun'er, you know?"

Yang Shan: "Hey, Ruo Lin n't worry. I know to run if I can't beat them."

Instructor Ruo Lin said angrily:

"You run away just because you can't beat them? What about Xun'er?"

Yang Shan answered matter-of-factly:

"Let her run first, I'm very fast."

Xiao Xun'er didn't speak, she just smiled.

But just smiling is enough, since the smile isn't out of politeness.

After saying goodbye to Ruo Lin, Xiao Xun'er's pace quickened considerably.

"Senior, don't be in such a hurry."

Xiao Xun'er kept walking. "Am I in a hurry?"

Yang Shan: "If you're not in a hurry, there's no need for you to walk so fast, is there?"

The two reached the gate and immediately used their Dou Qi Transformation Wings, heading towards Canaan City outside the academy.

Xiao Xun'er is truly amazing.

Before I knew it, I had become Dou Wang.

When Yang Shan first returned, Xiao Xun'er was clearly only Seven-Star Dou Ling.

As a result, when Xiao Xun'er removed the jade Jade Pendant that concealed her aura, her stats immediately changed to One Star Dou Wang! Yang Shan was somewhat curious:

"Senior, now that you've already reached the Dou Wang level, why don't you apply to temporarily leave the academy and go to the Black-Corner Region for training?"

Xiao Xun'er thought for a moment before answering, "Actually, I did try, but the Great Elder wanted me to defeat the number one on the Strong Ranking. That girl named Zi Yan is very strong. I can't beat her without special methods, but I'm afraid those methods might hurt her."

Yang Shan suddenly realized.

Great Elder Su Qian is indeed a cunning old fox. Zi Yan's true form is the Ancient Void Dragon, and she is the biological daughter of the Old Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun! In terms of background and potential, she is no less than Xiao Xun'er.

However, at this stage, Zi Yan is probably unaware of her true identity, and she has not received much of the inheritance of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan.

But with his terrifying strength and the spatial manipulation ability that the Ancient Void Dragon Clan is born with, he can definitely give Xiao Xun'er a headache.

Moreover, Zi Yan is probably more than just One Star Dou Wang now.

It is highly likely that he is already a five-star or even Six-Star Dou Wang, and his panel is definitely Five-Colored Word Seal.

The profound traditions of the Ancient Clan have strict requirements regarding the level of attainment.

For example, the High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique "Emperor Seal" requires Dou Wang level to learn just the first move, "Mountain Splitting Seal".

It's perfectly normal that Xiao Xun'er couldn't defeat Zi Yan without unleashing the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.

But Yang Shan didn't know that Xiao Xun'er's application to Great Elder Su Qian wasn't hers alone.

Instead, she and Yang Shan left together.

That's why Su Qian set up such a difficult test.

Xiao Xun'er's life in the Ancient Clan and at the Jia Nan Academy was equally dull, and she herself had already lost the ability to find enjoyment on her own.

Therefore, Xiao Xun'er had to bring Yang Shan together.

Xiao Xun'er knew very well that Yang Shan's life was far more exciting than she had ever dared to imagine before.

Of all the Jia Nan Academy, Yang Shan was the one who had the highest level of affection for Xiao Xun'er.

Therefore, Xiao Xun'er was willing to give up half of the Ghoul Lord Token.

All for the sake of experiencing a "trip" she had never experienced before.

Although Xiao Xun'er talked a bit more than before, she was still relatively quiet, so Yang Shan did most of the talking.

For example, after leaving Jia Nan Academy, where to go first, what to do first, and what to do next.

Xiao Xun'er usually only replies with, "Okay, whatever you say."

Before the two left, Su Qian assigned them a task.

The two were tasked with killing a Dou Wang named "Wang Xian" in Thousand Speck City.

It's possible that Thousand Speck City truly committed too many sins, and thus suffered retribution.

Some time ago, the "Black White Dual Fiends" visited Thousand Speck City, causing most of the Dou Wang in Thousand Speck City to become their experience points.

Unfortunately, during this time Thousand Speck City insisted on courting disaster by going against the Jia Nan Academy.

Su Qian knew that Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er had extremely high combat power, so he took the opportunity to send them to Thousand Speck City to add fuel to the fire.

That Wang Xian is not one of those low- Dou Wang with Blue Word Seal.

It was Seven-Star Dou Wang with Purple Word Seal! In Thousand Speck City, his overall strength could even rank among the top five! If he died, Ban Lao, who was in seclusion healing his injuries, would probably be so angry that he would vomit a few ounces of blood on the spot.

Yang Shan's plan was actually quite simple.

First, get to Thousand Speck City as soon as possible and kill Wang Xian.

Then you can follow the map marked by the Ghoul Lord Token, head south, enjoy the scenery, and experience the "cultural customs" of the Black-Corner Region.

"Senior, you won't understand if you don't go. There are plenty of ruthless people in the Black-Corner Region! You only protected the new students once, and you were wearing the academy's uniform, so most people won't attack you."

"Only after experiencing the harsh realities of life will you truly understand how precious the simplicity and honesty of the villagers are once you find a secluded village."

Xiao Xun'er: "Yes, junior is right, I'll listen to you."

Xiao Xun'er looked just like a tourist who had spent a lot of money hiring a private tour guide.

All she needs to do is have fun; "Director Yang" will take care of everything else!

When passing through Canaan City, Yang Shan Xiao Xun'er a mask that could cover the lower half of her face, and also a set of clothes.

"Senior, you're too beautiful. There are plenty of lecherous men in the Black-Corner Region. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I'll have to ask you to make do."

"Yes, I'm not wronged."

Xiao Xun'er nodded and naturally accepted the mask and clothes.

In no time, Xiao Xun'er transformed from a fairy in a white dress into a woman in a black robe who looked somewhat mysterious.

Everything is ready, let's go!

Thousand Speck City is still some distance from Peace Town, so the two of them continued to use their Dou Qi Transformation Wings to travel through the mountainous and forested areas.

They only switched to walking when they were near the city.

Yang Shan did not change his appearance.

Xiao Xun'er has Jade Pendant that can prevent others from investigating her.

But he simply "Unseeable."

You can't exactly wear this thing on your head and chuckle, can you? Ordinary masks are actually pretty useless against powerhouses who have reached the level of Six-Star Dou Wang or higher.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan deliberately wore Human Skin Mask to participate in the Alchemist Convention, but Fa Ma saw through it at a glance.

"I, Cheng E, am not! I, Yang Shan, act with integrity and uprightness; why should I hide anything?"

And so, Yang Shan, along with Xiao Xun'er, paid a hefty entrance fee and swaggered into Thousand Speck City.

"Senior, let me tell you, there are many tricks to assassination. First, you have to figure out the target's daily whereabouts, and then secretly find out when they will leave the city."

Yang Shan never expected that his first stop with Xiao Xun'er would be an unexpected one.

For two whole days, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er searched everywhere in Thousand Speck City, but they just couldn't find any trace of Wang Xian!

I asked around, but I couldn't find out anything.

Just as Yang Shan was frowning in distress, Su Yitang sent a message: "Boss, boss, did you know that an auction is about to be held in Sky Yin City?"

Yang Shan: "Sky Yin City is holding an auction? Are there many invited forces?"

Su Yitang: "There are quite a few. From what I've heard, the Blood Sect, the Mad Lion Gang, the Earth Flame Sect, the Eight Gates, and the Black Skull Tomb are all involved. The Rakshasa Gate will also be sending people, and I'll be going with them. Oh, by the way, it seems like Thousand Speck City will also be participating."

Yang Shan: "Okay, I understand. I'll contact you again when we get to Sky Yin City."

Su Yitang: "Okay, I'll go scout ahead for the boss!"

After hanging up the call, Yang Shan immediately found Xiao Xun'er.

An auction?

Xiao Xun'er asked in confusion, "You suspect that Wang Xian represented Thousand Speck City at the auction?"

Yang Shan: "Very likely, otherwise he should have shown up in Thousand Speck City. Besides, the auction is quite interesting. Even if Wang Xian isn't there, he can still go."

Xiao Xun'er remained calm. "I've attended many auctions before, and I just picked up some treasures."

Yang Shan smiled cryptically, "Senior, have you ever attended an auction in the Black-Corner Region?"

Xiao Xun'er: No, not at all.

Yang Shan: "That's right. Auctions in the Black-Corner Region are quite different from ordinary auctions."

Xiao Xun'er: "What's the difference?"

Yang Shan: "At auctions, you see financial resources; outside of auctions, you see strength!"

Xiao Xun'er thought of a word:

"Eliminating the enemy?"

Yang Shan: "Pretty much. Besides, senior, every region has its own unique products. You haven't seen all the good stuff from the Black-Corner Region, have you?"

Xiao Xun'er smiled and said, "Junior, don't treat me like a baby. I understand. Let's go. I'll go with you to see the auction in the Black-Corner Region."

Xiao Xun'er would be interested in anything that wasn't something she had experienced repeatedly before.

Although this auction wasn't something she was particularly interested in.

Even a little interest was enough for her to make the trip.

After all, there's plenty of time along the way.

As we travel, we learn and grow.

When Yang Shan was in the Black-Corner Region in his previous life, he was very enthusiastic about the auctions there!

Thanks to the rule of choosing one drop from kills in Black-Corner Region, you can often get good items that others have spent a lot of money to buy without spending a penny.

Of course, if they made a mistake even once, the death penalty would make them want to bang their heads against a wall. Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er immediately set off.

If Xiao Xun'er hadn't reached the Dou Wang, Yang Shan wouldn't have directly suggested carrying Xiao Xun'er on the way.

But at least it allows the Hoof Shadow and get some fresh air.

The opportunity to ride a horse with Xiao Xun'er is rare.

But if Xiao Xun'er breaks through to the Dou Wang, then there's nothing that can be done.

The speed at which the Dou Qi Transformation Wings was far faster than that of the former "King of Horses".

Hoof Shadow probably didn't expect it to retire so soon.

After another long journey, the two finally arrived in Sky Yin City the day before the auction began.

The force behind Sky Yin City is called Heavenly Yin Sect. Its sect leader, Yin Gu Lao, is ranked sixth on the Black Ranking. His combat strength is actually comparable to that of Fan Lao, the sect leader of the Blood Sect, who is ranked fifth.

Speaking of auctions, Yang Shan couldn't help but think of the Black Seal City Auction in the original novel, which had a significant impact on the protagonist Xiao Yan.

However, Yang Shan didn't actually know whether Black Seal City had ever held an auction like the one in the original story.

Let's see what good things are in the auction in Sky Yin City!

As they entered the city gate, Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er happened to run into the Rakshasa Gate's procession!

The woman leading the Rakshasa Gate had a hot figure, but she was the ruthless "Poison Thorn Lady" of Rakshasa City, with a cultivation level of Nine-Star Dou Wang! Behind her were about twenty people, all of whom were Dou Ling level experts.

This also includes Su Yitang.

Yang Shan and Su Yitang naturally noticed each other in a tacit way.

Su Yitang sent a message:

"Boss, hehe, you look even more handsome than I've seen you in a few days!"

That's some really nice flattery.

Yang Shan: "You guys go into the city first, and remember to keep in touch."

Given their identities in the Black-Corner Region, it was inappropriate for Yang Shan and Su Yitang to be seen together in public.

Let's just act independently, and cooperate secretly if the opportunity arises.

Xiao Xun'er noticed Yang Shan's expression and asked, "Do you know him?"

Yang Shan replied, "Yes, we're old acquaintances. That girl is quite nice."

Xiao Xun'er: "Is it her good personality, or her good looks?"

Yang Shan: "Wow, senior, you're joking with me!"

Xiao Xun'er: "I always joke around, but I just don't like to do it often."

Xiao Xun'er has a calm personality, but she is not withdrawn.

Especially now that Xiao Xun'er has come out looking for something new and exciting, she's in a good mood and naturally willing to joke around with Yang Shan.

The Sky Yin City auction was quite large this time, so Yang Shan went to the Auction House's consignment office and consigned two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill to secure a relatively private room.

In the current player market, the Body Tempering Pill is still in the hands of Yang Shan and Xiao Aotian, but several Tier-4 Alchemist can now refine the Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill.

Therefore, prices plummeted.

It would be acceptable to use it to exchange for a private room.

At the Mittel Family auctions, very few people choose to conceal their identities.

However, at this Sky Yin City auction, the vast majority of people actually concealed their faces and figures under masks and loose clothing.

Yang Shan and Xiao Xun'er made their way to the private room.

Immediately, a graceful maidservant dressed in very little clothing entered carrying a fruit platter and stood in front of Yang Shan, slowly squatting down.

Her posture was undeniably alluring.

Yang Shan waved his hand:

"Get out. Don't come back in without my permission."

After the maid left and the door was closed, Xiao Xun'er cautiously began to communicate with Yang Shan.

"Junior, there are quite a few powerful people at this auction, so we may need to be more careful."

Yang Shan: "Yes, I understand."

Xiao Xun'er: "Junior, if there's anything you like later, just tell me and I'll buy it for you. The sachet you gave me last time was nice; I haven't had a chance to return the favor yet."

Rich women are different; they don't care about the price, they only ask if you like it.

Since Xiao Aotian has already gotten involved with Xiao Mei, Yang Shan is actually thinking about whether he should also marry into the Ancient Clan.

But it can only be a thought.

Are the most beautiful flowers of the Ancient Clan so easily plucked? Any one of the chosen ones in the Ancient Clan would be Dou Zun!

If they were in the Ancient Clan, whenever they saw Yang Shan sitting next to Xiao Xun'er, and Yang Shan had the chance to go to the toilet, they would have countless Earth-rank or even Heaven Rank Dou Skills to blast him into dust!

Yang Shan: "Senior, no need, I'm plenty of money." (Making you spend money will lower my favorability rating. I must have been out of Zhu Tianpeng mind to do something like this!)

Just then, Yang Shan saw a beautiful auctioneer in a cheongsam go up to the auction stage.

Yang Shan: "Here you are, senior. Let's see what the first good thing is?"

The auctioneer lifted the red cloth and began to introduce the items:

"The first item in this auction will be a small trinket, just for you all to bid on and have some fun. The item is—two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill!"

Yang Shan: "."

Xiao Xun'er stared at Yang Shan Yang Shan's face, wanting to see how expressive he could be. She even said, "Junior, this item is indeed a good one."

Yang Shan only now realized that Xiao Xun'er was quite skilled at stabbing people in the back!

But Yang Shan, this seasoned veteran, is no pushover either.

It was quickly apparent that this auction was unusual.

The Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill is, after all, a top-grade fourth-rank pill.

Tidy stuff? Just something to play around with? What will be the real gems at this auction? Earth-rank Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills?

Spirit-grade equipment?
