When Xiao Yan left the stone chamber, the maid standing at the door brought the items he had auctioned to him. Because Lü Zhongtian was in the auction house, they were not worried that these items would be snatched away.
Of course, in addition to this, it's also because the items they won were placed in a special formation, and to retrieve them, they had to leave their chips behind.
The rule of exchanging one item for another is one that these auctioneers reluctantly follow.
Having retrieved his winnings from the auction, Xiao Yan carefully inspected them. After confirming that every item was in perfect condition, he quickly headed out of the auction house.
After what happened with the old man, Xiao Yan seemed to have become skeptical of everything he saw. Only if these items remained intact under his Spiritual Strength and the Heavenly Flames would he be able to believe them.
Having obtained the Fusang Flower, Xiao Yan should now leave Golden Radiance City and head towards the Heavenly Severing Ancient Tomb once more.
Now that the Fusang Flower is in hand, there's no need for Golden Radiance City to stay any longer. Dragging it out would only bring endless trouble to Xiao Yan.
Partly to save time and partly to avoid trouble, Xiao Yan had no choice but to leave this place, and the sooner the better.
Soon, Xiao Yan emerged from the main entrance of the auction house.
Although there were still many pedestrians on the street outside the auction house, no one paid any attention to this place anymore. A week had passed since the start of the auction, and the excitement in everyone's hearts had naturally gradually subsided. With most people leaving, the flow of people in Golden Radiance City had obviously become much thinner, which was not necessarily a bad thing.
Looking up at the sky, the enormous golden light shield still enveloped the entire city. Having witnessed the power of this formation before, Xiao Yan felt a surge of interest in it.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, he clearly felt that the formation slowly dissipated a few breaths after blocking the first bolt of Pill Lightning. In other words, the formation dissipated not because of the Pill Lightning, but because someone deliberately removed the formation so that Xiao Yan's pill would be destroyed by the Pill Lightning.
It's a pity they underestimated the Northern King.
Nevertheless, Xiao Yan did witness firsthand the power of the formation.
Xiao Yan even suspected that if the formation were fully activated, it might be able to completely withstand the previous pill Pill Lightning. Of course, so far, this was just Xiao Yan's speculation, and there was no evidence to support it.
Even so, this still proves how terrifying this formation is.
Just as Xiao Yan stepped out of the auction house, two figures stood atop a pavilion outside the auction house. The moment Xiao Yan appeared in their line of sight, their eyes were fixed on him.
Feeling the gazes fixed on him, Xiao Yan frowned slightly. Without much thought, he immediately guessed the identities of the two people.
Following his gaze, sure enough, two figures, one in black and one in white, appeared in Xiao Yan's line of sight.
It was Qin Yun and Yan He.
Their eyes met for a moment, and then the two figures, with smiles on their faces, flew swiftly towards Xiao Yan, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Hehe, I wonder if Brother Xiao Yan succeeded in the exchange?"
Upon arriving, Qin Yun jokingly asked a question that seemed to be asked knowingly.
Seeing the genuine smile on the latter's face, Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow in confusion, then his bright eyes lit up and he immediately understood.
Judging from this, the person in front of us must have successfully obtained the " Fusang Flower ".
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, but on his face he shrugged helplessly, showing a disappointed look, which made the person in front of him feel even more cheerful.
"Haha, it's alright. If you can't have it, you can't have it. It's just an external thing, nothing to think about too much. However, although Brother Xiao Yan didn't get the Fusang Flower, I have something else here. I wonder if Brother Xiao Yan would be interested in knowing about it."
At this point, a subtle glint flashed in the depths of Qin Yun's eyes.
"Oh, I don't know what it is. May I take a look?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, wondering what this guy was up to.
"Haha, Brother Xiao Yan, you're really anxious! But I don't have that thing with me. Why don't you come with me to see it?"
"Where?"
Xiao Yan looked puzzled and hesitated before speaking.
His original plan was to leave Golden Radiance City immediately after leaving the auction house, but judging from the current situation, Qin Yun didn't seem to want to give him that chance. At the same time, Xiao Yan was also curious about what this guy wanted to do to him, which is why he didn't rush to leave.
"It's not far, we'll be there soon."
Qin Yun turned and pointed the way, then flew off with Xiao Yan in the predetermined direction.
"By the way, I saw someone bid ten bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid at the auction not long ago. Although I didn't see what they looked like, judging from their voice, it should be Brother Xiao Yan, right?"
Although he knew perfectly well what was going on, Qin Yun still asked a question, pretending to be nonchalant.
Xiao Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he smiled noncommittally.
"Hehe, it's really nothing big. It's just that the cultivation technique I practice happens to be ice-attribute, so if I could obtain a few bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Night, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to my cultivation. Therefore, Brother Xiao Yan's..."
"I'm sorry, I only obtained those ten bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid by chance. After the previous auction, all ten bottles of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid have already been handed over as chips, so I'm sorry, I can't help you with that."
Before Qin Yun could finish speaking, Xiao Yan calmly said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the latter's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of killing intent flashing deep within them, which was then perfectly concealed. A smile appeared on his face, and he said:
"Since that's the case, then I can only blame my bad luck. But I believe that what I'm about to show Brother Xiao Yan will definitely surprise you."
Qin Yun smiled broadly, his gaze meeting Yan He's for a fleeting moment. Yan He's heart skipped a beat, and then his movements gradually slowed down. Unconsciously, he found himself behind Xiao Yan. From his current position, he could stop Xiao Yan at any time should he try to escape.
Upon realizing this, Xiao Yan maintained his smile, but his heart was filled with icy coldness.
