An hour later, the outline of a towering city appeared at the end of Fang Han's field of vision.
The city wall is high and thick, built with Dark Gold boulders unique to the nearby mountains, glowing with a metallic luster under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Like a giant beast crawling on the ground, it is Golden Brilliance City.
Although in terms of scale and prosperity, Golden Brilliance City cannot compare with Azure Profound City where Azure Profound Sect is located, let alone Qingyang Prefecture City.
However, as one of the largest cities in the southwestern region of the county, with a population close to one million, and the constant flow of cars and horses, it has its own noisy atmosphere.
Fang Han walked into the city with the flow of people.
The streets are wide, lined with shops on both sides, with signboards and flags waving, the shouts of vendors and footmen, the sounds of carriages and horses, and the chatter of warriors mixed together, full of worldly vitality.
He didn't linger too much on the street scene. He spent money to find a "guide" and went straight to the most luxurious "Golden Brilliance Inn" in the city and asked for a quiet upper room.
The innkeeper has a good eye. When he saw Fang Han wearing Azure Profound Sect True Disciple uniform, he did not dare to neglect and personally led the way, making extremely thoughtful arrangements.
Fang Han Washed up a little and brushed off the dust.
He raised his eyebrows slightly as he thought about the large-scale auction that would be held in less than three days.
"I have to ask for an invitation."
The threshold for large-scale auctions is not low, and not everyone is eligible to enter. Only those with a sufficient identity can obtain an invitation letter to enter.
However, considering his status as Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple, this is not a troublesome matter. It should not be difficult to ask for an invitation letter to the auction.
He planned to take a short rest, so he went to the branch of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in Golden Brilliance City and asked for an invitation letter.
Just then.
"Sir, there are two women Guest Come Inn downstairs calling, saying they want to see you."
There was a gentle knock on the door, accompanied by the respectful voice of the waiter.
"Two women Guest Come Inn are interviewing?"
Fang Han raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was very sure that he didn't know anyone in Golden Brilliance City, so how could someone visit him, and not long after he settled down.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he said calmly.
"Ask them to come up."
"Yes, guest."
The waiter left in response.
Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the door again. The waiter led the two of them to the door, and then stepped back knowingly.
Fang Han stood up and opened the door.
I saw two people standing outside the door.
The leader is a girl about twenty-eight years old, wearing a water-blue flowing cloud brocade dress, with a slim figure and a beautiful face, her skin is as good as snow, and her eyebrows are picturesque.
A pair of bright eyes as clear as water, but with a hint of agility and wisdom that is difficult to detect.
Her beauty is no less beautiful than that of Yun Qianyue who takes off her veil. She is absolutely stunning.
Half a step behind her, followed a middle-aged woman with a meticulously combed bun and an ordinary face.
The woman's aura is restrained, and at first glance she looks like an ordinary servant.
But Fang Han now has a sharp spiritual sense, and his five senses are far beyond ordinary people. He could faintly sense an abyss-like, inexplicable aura from this woman.
His cultivation level is unfathomable, far above the fifth level, at least the strong one of Upper Third Grade!
Such a master is actually willing to follow this girl like a bodyguard. What kind of identity does this girl have?
And why did you find yourself?
Fang Han is very sure that he has never seen this girl before.
With such an appearance and demeanor, if you have seen him before, you will never forget him.
"I wonder who you two are?"
Although he was surprised that the girl actually had an appearance that was no worse than Yun Qianyue, Fang Han did not lose his composure.
He glanced at the two of them calmly and asked.
"The little girl Lan Yuexin is the director of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion Golden Brilliance City auction."
The girl in the blue skirt smiled lightly, her smile was gentle and decent, and her voice was like a clear spring hitting a jade, which was pleasant to the ear.
She gave a brief introduction, speaking neither too fast nor too slowly, and in an elegant manner.
"I learned that Fang True Disciple appeared in Golden Brilliance City, and Yue Xin came to visit me. If I'm being presumptuous, I hope Haihan will do the same."
As she spoke, she turned her delicate hand over, and there was a purple-gold post in her palm. The edge of the post was inlaid with fine gold threads, and the shape was exquisite.
"This is a VIP invitation letter for my Hundred Treasures Pavilion auction. With this letter, you can enter the box and express your feelings. Please True Disciple accept it."
"Hundred Treasures Pavilion?"
Fang Han's eyes flashed with surprise.
Just a moment after he arrived at Golden Brilliance City, Hundred Treasures Pavilion actually already knew about it. How could Hundred Treasures Pavilion be so well informed?
What makes him even more puzzled is that a person with far superior fifth-grade power, who is the person in charge of the auction of Guard, actually comes to the door in person and takes the initiative to send an invitation letter?
This treatment is a bit too grand.
However, the other party's kindness in sending it saved him a lot of effort.
He suppressed his doubts, showed a just-right smile on his face, and reached out to take the invitation.
"It turns out to be Director Lan. This letter is exactly what Fang needs. Thank you very much, Fang."
He spoke appropriately and expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome, Fang Zhenzhuan. It's an honor for me, Baibao Pavilion, to have a hero from the Prodigy List."
Lan Yuexin's bright eyes stayed on Fang Han for a moment, then smiled.
"The auction will start three days later at the time of registration. It will be located at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion branch in the center of the city. We are waiting for Fang True Disciple to arrive at that time."
She exchanged a few more pleasantries and then took her leave at the right time.
"Yue Xin still needs to go back and take care of tomorrow's auction matters, so I won't disturb Fang True Disciple's rest."
"Manager Lan, walk slowly."
Fang Han gave it away.
Lan Yuexin and the woman who had never spoken a word nodded slightly, turned and left.
From beginning to end, the woman never spoke, as if she was really just a Guard.
Fang Han stood at the door and watched the two figures disappear around the corner of the stairs before returning to the room and closing the door.
He lowered his head and looked at the well-made purple gold invitation in his hand with gentle touches, his eyes thoughtful.
"Lan Yuexin... can become the person in charge of a large-scale auction at such a young age. Could it be that she is the daughter of the master of the pavilion Hundred Treasures Pavilion?"
He had heard someone mention it before that the master of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion seemed to have the surname Lan.
He suspected that this woman might be related to the Pavilion Master Hundred Treasures Pavilion, but he didn't know if she was the Pavilion Master's daughter.
But, why did the other party come in person to send the invitation letter?
Is it really just a routine thing to show favor to the young genius who is expected to be on Prodigy Ranking?
His intuition told him that things didn't seem that simple.
Lan Yuexin Underneath the seemingly gentle smile, there seemed to be a faint hint of inquiry hidden deep in his eyes.
"That's all. Now that you've come, make peace with it. Getting the invitation letter means you've achieved your goal. Don't think too much about anything else."
Fang Han gathered his thoughts and put the invitation letter into his arms.
With the Azure Profound Sect, one of Seven Sects, as his backer, he was confident that even a large chamber of commerce like Hundred Treasures Pavilion would not have the guts to do anything to him.
Downstairs of the inn, inside a very spacious and comfortable carriage.
Lan Yuexin sat lazily on the soft cushions, her previous gentle and decent managerial attitude softened a bit, revealing a hint of agility and... a hint of fatigue that belonged to her age.
The middle-aged woman sat opposite her, her back straight like a sculpture.
"Miss, why did you come to deliver this invitation in person? Even if he is Azure Profound Sect Tianjiao True Disciple, sending a Deacon to deliver it is considered a great honor."
The middle-aged woman Wu Xia's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of confusion.
"Aunt Wu."
Lan Yuexin breathed out gently, a strange light flashed in his bright eyes, completely different from the calmness he had just before Fang Han.
Her fingers unconsciously wrapped around a tassel on her skirt.
"Prodigy Ranking genius who is less than twenty years old... such a person, naturally you have to come and see it in person."
"Oh? What do you think of him, Miss?"
Wu Xia asked with a hint of curiosity in his voice.
"It's the right time to come today, True Person is even more exaggerated than the rumors."
Shen Yue's expression became a little serious, even with a hint of solemnity.
She paused, seemed to be organizing her words, and said slowly.
"You know, I have had a vague intuition since I was a child. I can vaguely feel whether something is worth doing, whether a person... is worth investing in."
"Relying on this intuition, I was able to gain a firm foothold in the cabinet at such a young age and achieve my current position."
Wu Xia nodded slightly, she knew this very well.
The lady's innate intuition may seem mysterious, but its accuracy has been verified many times.
It seems to be a talent inherited from the pavilion master's lineage, but in the young lady, this talent is even stronger.
"Just now, the moment I saw that Fang Han."
Lan Yuexin's voice was lowered a bit, with a hint of indescribable throbbing.
"My gut... had a stronger reaction than I've ever had before!"
"Unprecedentedly intense?"
Wu Xia's eyes flashed.
"Yes."
Lan Yuexin nodded affirmatively and grasped the tassel with his fingertips slightly.
"That feeling... tells me that this person's future achievements will be beyond imagination. If I can make good friends with him now, Hundred Treasures Pavilion may receive unimaginable rewards in the future!"
There was a trace of certainty in her words that surprised even herself.
Wu Xia was silent for a moment and said slowly:
"My lady's intuition has always been very accurate. If this is the case, then this guy really deserves to be paid close attention to."
Lan Yuexin let go of Tassel, regained some composure, and looked out the car window at the rapidly retreating street scene with deep eyes.
"I have a hunch that Qingyang Prefecture is far from the end of this person."
The carriage drove slowly, and the carriage fell into silence again, with only the sound of wheels running over the bluestone pavement echoing regularly.
Wu Xia closed his eyes, like an old monk in meditation, but the name "Fang Han" was firmly engraved in his heart.
Someone who can make a young lady have such a strong intuition, I don't know what achievements the other person will have in the future.
In the upper room of the inn, Fang Han was not resting.
He sat cross-legged on the couch and counted his belongings again.
The original loan of 10.57 million taels of silver notes, plus the more than 4 million taels unexpectedly obtained from Shen You, at this moment, the total amount of banknotes he had on him suddenly reached 15 million taels!
This is a terrifying amount of wealth that is enough to bankrupt many small and medium-sized Lineage companies.
"Fifteen million taels... after deducting what is needed to capture Vajra Fruit, there should be a lot left over."
Fang Han estimates.
The base price of Vajra Fruit is three million taels, and the final transaction price may reach six to seven million, or even higher.
But even if calculated at eight million taels, he would still have seven million taels left.
These seven million taels can be used to buy some other items at the auction and turn them into physical objects that can be Recharge.
With the mind set, Fang Han got rid of distracting thoughts and began to meditate and adjust the breath.
<Mystic Wind Art> is operating, and under One Hundred Twenty-Eightfold Root Bone Talent Amplification, Internal Qi is growing steadily at a rate far exceeding that of ordinary people.
As the night gets darker, the Golden Brilliance City lights begin to turn on, and the hustle and bustle gradually settles down.
Fang Han's guest room was completely quiet, except for the sound of his even and long breathing.
