Nine Treasures Glazed Sect

If Di Tian found out the young lady had been lost because he had gotten greedy, he would be beaten to death!

Xiong Jun's scalp tingled, and he changed the subject. "Di Tian, although the young lady is gone, you know about the bloodline Tang Wulin carries. I think we should deal with him first. We can find the young lady again if she's gone, but once Tang Wulin dies, The Master will be able to possess the Dragon God bloodline."

"You useless fool who ruins everything! Where are we supposed to look in a federation this huge? Last time we sensed the young lady's aura, it was because her memories suddenly fell into chaos and the elements went out of control and released. This time, I can't sense a thing. How are we supposed to find her? Answer me!"

Di Tian was about to die of anger. This stupid bear—if he had known, he never would have let Xiong Jun watch her.

When he went back to report, the young lady was gone. How was he supposed to explain that to The Master?

"Then what do we do? Kill Tang Wulin first. We'll definitely find the young lady."

Xiong Jun scratched his head.

"Is fighting the only thing in that brain of yours? The Master said to observe Tang Wulin for now. We can't touch him. You stay here."

Di Tian knew there was nothing he could do to Xiong Jun. With a dark expression, he left those words behind and vanished.

"So we just can't find the young lady, big deal. Didn't you lose sight of her once back then too?"

Xiong Jun grumbled where he stood.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Inside the Heaven Number One Suite.

Dawnlight streamed in through the balcony. Gu You sat cross-legged on a large bed, breathing evenly, faint fluctuations of soul power drifting around him.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes.

The lava in his Golden Pupils had not receded, and the flames had not gone out.

Judging solely from the brightness of his Golden Pupils, Gu You's current mental state was at its peak. These three days of calm cultivation had greatly nourished him.

Although his soul power had not broken through another level, his foundation at rank thirteen had been thoroughly stabilized.

Getting down from the bed, Gu You knew today was the day the auction began. He had to make preparations first.

Come to think of it, he had barely left his room these past three days.

It was not that he did not want to go out for a stroll. It was that this room was far too comfortable. Meals came with service, the jacuzzi in the bathroom made washing up unbelievably pleasant, and the bed was so soft it sapped a person's will to struggle.

It lacked nothing. Open your mouth, and someone would feed you.

After three days, Gu You had deeply understood one thing: the happiness of the rich was something he had never been able to imagine before.

After finishing his morning wash, Gu You slung Seven Deadly Sins over his back and left the Heaven Number One Suite.

On the way to Heaven Number Two Room, he ran right into Bai Haoze.

It seemed Bai Haoze had also been preparing to look for him. Neither had expected their timing to be so close, and they met head-on.

"What a coincidence. How was your stay these three days? You didn't contact me either."

Bai Haoze spoke first. Since Gu You had come over, she could save herself a bit of walking.

"So good I don't want to leave."

Gu You told the truth. A top-tier suite really was comfortable to stay in. If only he could laze around like this for the rest of his life.

"You have to leave even if you don't want to. The auction officially starts tonight, and we need to head over in advance."

Bai Haoze laughed it off and patted Gu You on the shoulder.

Gu You rubbed his shoulder. He suspected Bai Haoze had no idea how strong her hands were.

"We're going before noon?"

"Yes. For a large-scale auction of this level, the entry procedures are extremely complicated. Asset verification, number plate collection, and so on. Going at noon isn't early." Bai Haoze nodded as she explained. "Also, the deputy tower master specifically instructed me last night that there are several finale items in this auction, and one of them is a top-tier soul device. She said that if you take a liking to anything, just raise your paddle. Money isn't a problem."

A top-tier soul device?

Gu You was intrigued.

If his teacher called it a top-tier soul device, then it had to be at least a rank-nine soul device.

A rank-nine soul device. Every single one possessed tremendous power. Even the most functionally useless rank-nine defensive soul device could block an attack from a Titled Douluo.

"Come on, let's go eat breakfast first. Don't think too much about it. Once the auction begins, we'll naturally find out what the good things are." Bai Haoze turned and led the way. "My younger sister Zhicen has already ordered downstairs in the restaurant."

The two took the elevator down and arrived at the dining hall on the hotel's second floor.

Bai Zhicen was already waiting for them at a table by the window. The table was piled full of dishes, from exquisite palace pastries to famous Tiandou specialties. Everything one could want was there.

"Zhicen, did you order everything on the menu?"

After sitting down, Bai Haoze looked at the table full of dishes, and the corner of her mouth twitched.

Although they had ample funds now, they could not spend money like this. This one meal had to cost over a hundred thousand federal coins.

"I didn't know what Gu You liked to eat, so I ordered a few more things." Bai Zhicen's expression did not change as she pushed a plate of red shrimp in front of Gu You. "Try this. It's Tiandou Hotel's signature dish, known as Little Red Jade Shrimp."

Gu You did not stand on ceremony either. He picked up a red shrimp and put it into his mouth. The shrimp meat was fresh, sweet, and springy, and it tasted wonderful.

The three of them swept through the entire table like a whirlwind. Gu You rubbed his stomach.

Now that he had eaten and drunk his fill, it was time to go to Tiandou Auction House.

"Bro, you guys go ahead. I've got something to do."

Bai Zhicen spoke up then, and it looked as if she had no intention of going to Tiandou Auction House with them anymore.

Bai Haoze did not answer. He only nodded.

Gu You found it strange. Logically speaking, Bai Zhicen was also someone his teacher had arranged to protect him, so how could she just leave whenever she wanted?

But it looked as though she had something important to deal with, and Bai Haoze did not object either.

A little later, after following Bai Haoze out of Tiandou Hotel, Gu You saw a silver-gray soul-guided sports car parked in front of the main entrance.

The body of the car was long and sleek, its paint gleaming with a cold metallic sheen beneath the sunlight, and the front bore the emblem of Spirit Transmission Pagoda.

Gu You knew at a glance that this was Spirit Transmission Pagoda's official car, so he did not stand on ceremony and walked over.

The rear door opened automatically, and he got in with ease.

After sitting down properly, Gu You discovered there was no one else in the car. Bai Haoze then got straight into the driver's seat.

"Vroom—!"

The engine of the soul-guided sports car started, humming as it drove out of Tiandou Hotel and merged into the streets of Tiandou City.

"Senior, tell me about Tiandou Auction House. Even a ninth-rank soul tool has appeared at this auction. The Tiandou imperial family is already gone, so who exactly controls it from behind the scenes?"

On the road, Gu You questioned Bai Haoze, wanting to learn more about Tiandou Auction House.

"The vice tower master was right. You're precocious, smarter than ordinary children, and you ask a lot of questions too." Bai Haoze pondered as he drove. "According to Spirit Transmission Pagoda's investigation, the owner behind Tiandou Auction House now is the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the three upper sects that flourished twenty thousand years ago before later withdrawing from the world. But its influence still stretches across the continent. After the Tiandou Empire fell, most of its assets came under the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect's control. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're wealthy enough to rival a nation."

"With more than twenty thousand years of accumulated foundation, how could the things they auction be poor? Rumor has it that at Tiandou Auction House, as long as you have money, there's nothing you can't buy."

So it was the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect...

Gu You was somewhat surprised. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect had never appeared in the original Douluo 3 novel, and he did not recall the later federation situation mentioning it either.
