"..."
Azure Cloud City Inner City At the city gate, there stand two huge Town-Guarding Stones, with the Formation carved on them exuding a light blue shimmer all year round.
Su Yueli walked in the front, stepping steadily across the Formation light curtain.
Han Yu, Lu Chang'an and Gu Qinghe follow closely behind.
The moment the four of them stepped into the Inner City street, they immediately attracted countless looks from around them.
Most of Inner City's immortal cultivators wear light silk robes, with Jade Pendant or Storage Bag hanging around their waists. They have the effect of Dust-Cleansing Spell on their bodies and are spotless.
On the other hand, these four people from the Eternal Life Martial Sect look very eye-catching.
The four of them are dressed simply, with the only exception being Su Yueli.
Dressed in white, her appearance is peerless, but there is no Spiritual Qi leakage at all.
The immortal cultivators on the street frowned and took a few steps back to both sides, their eyes full of undisguised disgust.
Han Yu glanced at the monk. After more than a year of practice, she no longer had the fear and inferiority complex she had in the past.
Looking at the monk now, he was no longer as cautious as before.
Lu Chang'an was even more direct, slightly clenching his hands into fists, suppressing the violence in his eyes deep in his bones.
Passing through three bustling main streets, a nine-story octagonal pavilion appeared in front of the four of them.
Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
The entire building was built by the century-old Ironwood, and each floor is covered with defensive formations.
Outside the gate stood two rows of guards with the Fourth Realm cultivation, holding Long Halberd and looking serious.
Today is Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion's once-in-a-decade large-scale auction, and all the attendees are Azure Cloud City and well-known forces from surrounding cities.
As soon as the four people reached the bottom of the steps, a steward wearing a brocade robe stepped across and blocked their way with his hand.
"Stop." The steward looked at the four people up and down, his eyes resting on Greatsword of Han Yu and Iron Hammer of Lu Chang'an for a moment, his brows furrowed.
"Today is a large-scale auction of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. No idlers are allowed. The bottom line for capital verification in the infield is two thousand Spirit Stone. If you can't get it out, leave immediately and don't block the way of the distinguished guests behind."
The steward's tone was harsh, and he looked at the four of them as if they were poor warriors from the outer city who came to see the world. Not everyone could afford two thousand spirit stones.
Just...
He looked at Su Yueli, who had stunning looks and excellent temperament, and couldn't help but frown.
Could this be some kind of expert?
But after some sensing, the opponent did not have Spiritual Power fluctuations, and seemed to be just a mortal warrior.
I scratched my head for a while and couldn't think clearly.
At this time, Gu Qinghe took a step forward with an expressionless face. As the person in charge of logistics and resource negotiation in the sect, he was habitually preparing to speak, intending to enter the venue as his third-grade Alchemist.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Yueli walked directly past him and reached out to Storage Bag at his waist.
She was very bored with the cumbersome capital verification process and threshold rules of Cultivation World, and she didn't have any patience to explain anything to a guard.
Su Yueli took out a Ancient Spirit Stone from ten thousand years ago and tossed it casually.
"Pah."
The fist-sized Spirit Stone hit the Qualification-Verification Jade Table in front of the steward, making a crisp impact sound.
The steward was about to get angry and reprimand this rude behavior, but the moment his eyes fell on the jade case, his whole body froze completely.
It was a stone so deep that it almost looked blue.
There are no traces of artificial cutting on the surface, and the pure Spiritual Qi forms a liquid flow visible to the naked eye inside the stone.
At this moment, an old man with a goatee walked out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, who was also Chief Appraiser of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
The old man's eyes inadvertently glanced at the jade case, his body trembled suddenly, he pushed the steward away and threw himself in front of the jade case.
Just put your eyes less than half an inch away from Spirit Stone and stare at the liquid Spiritual Qi inside.
"The best... the best Ancient Spirit Stone without any impurities!"
The appraiser's voice was excited. "Spiritual Qi with this level of purity can be directly absorbed by the meridians without any transformation at all. If this thing is used as the core formation for the Sixth Realm monks to break through, the success rate can be increased by 30%!"
The appraiser suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Yueli with eyes full of extreme awe and enthusiasm.
The steward was so frightened that his legs softened when he heard this, and he almost knelt on the ground.
I know very well that the person who can easily take out such a strategic treasure is definitely not a poor person from the outer city, but a powerful person with extremely deep hidden secrets and terrifying background.
No wonder, the temperament is so extraordinary... l
Gu Qinghe stood aside and watched this dramatic scene.
For a moment, I just felt that the rules of Cultivation World were extremely ridiculous. One second, I treated them like nothing, and the next second, I turned into a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy because of a stone.
"Can we come in?" Su Yueli said calmly.
"Yes! Of course I can! Invite your distinguished guest!" The appraiser pushed the steward away, bent at 90 degrees, and personally led the way.
After half a cup of tea.
The boss of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was alerted and came forward personally to welcome the four Su Yueli into the ninth floor of the auction house, Heaven-Class Private Box, who had the best view and the best defense Formation.
This kind of box is equipped with one-way glazed crystal, so you can clearly see the entire auction house from the inside, but you can't peek at anything from the outside.
Not long after the four people entered the box.
At the entrance to the first floor of the auction house, two groups of people walked in.
The group on the left is led by Gu Household Head Gu Changfeng, followed by more than a dozen elite Gu Household guards.
Gu Changfeng looked gloomy. Gu Household recently lost its reputation due to the accidental death of Gu Qinghe. This time at the auction, it is necessary to win the batch of Fourth Grade Spirit Herb to stabilize the status of Lineage.
The group on the right is Zhao Mu, the third elder of Greenwood Valley. He is wearing the robe embroidered with green trees, his expression is proud, and he is followed by several True Disciple.
The two groups met at the entrance and exchanged fake smiles and exchanged pleasantries.
Gu Changfeng's gaze swept upwards and suddenly stopped at the box in the middle of the ninth floor.
"Heaven No. 1 Private Box is on?" Gu Changfeng was shocked.
That box is reserved by the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion for the first and second-rate forces, and it may not be opened once every ten years.
Zhao Mu also noticed it and immediately called a familiar steward to inquire.
"May I ask the manager, who is the distinguished guest from Heaven No. 1 Private Box?" Zhao Mu asked tentatively.
The steward accepted the Spirit Stone that Zhao Mu was stuffed in, and said in a low voice, "I don't know the specific identity, but just now, the manager personally greeted me. It seemed that there were four unfamiliar faces dressed as mortal warriors. The other party casually took out the top-quality Ancient Spirit Stone for capital verification."
Mortal martial artist? A new face? The best Ancient Spirit Stone?
Gu Changfeng and Zhao Mu looked at each other, and countless calculations and greed immediately surged in their hearts.
They secretly guessed that this was definitely a big fat sheep from other places, deliberately pretending to be a mortal and came to Azure Cloud City to scan goods.
As long as you find out the details of the other party and find out this Azure Cloud City, it will be a huge piece of fat.
