Back in Jiuhua City, Long Boming was clearly in high spirits. He continued, "Jiuhua City is not only the largest and strongest city under the rule of the Jiuhua Alliance, but it is also the most prosperous place. There are many things that you can't get in the outside world, but you can get them in Jiuhua City as long as you pay the price."
With that, Long Boming pointed to the east and said, "There's a market to the east of Jiuhua City. Medicinal pills, spiritual materials, and even martial arts techniques can be bought there. Not only do the goods come from the Jiuhua Alliance's territory, but they also come from all over the Sky Sword Continent. It can be said to be all-encompassing. Even I go there occasionally to see if there's any treasure I like."
Hearing Long Boming's words, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. He licked his lips and asked, "Is there anything from the Octagonal Temple?"
"Of course. The territories of the Octagonal Sacred Temple, the Illusionary God Sect, and the Myriad Shark Island all have some unique spiritual materials, but the price is naturally much higher." Long Boming said as he stroked his beard.
"I want to go there and take a look," Lu Xuan said without hesitation.
Zhao Ying knew what Lu Xuan was thinking. He wanted to see if he could find something to cure Zhao Binger in the market.
Long Boming chuckled and said, "Since you're here in Jiuhua City, I should take a look around. With this token, no one will cause you trouble, and the merchants won't dare to raise the price when they see it."
Lu Xuan took the token from Long Boming and glanced at it. He saw the word "Hua" carved on it. It wasn't hard to guess that this token represented the identity of a member of the Jiuhua Alliance. It was most likely Long Boming's elder token, which couldn't be compared to an ordinary disciple token.
Without another word, Lu Xuan walked towards the east of the city. Chen Xiaohan quickly shouted for her to wait for him and followed him. Seeing that Zhao Ying wanted to go along as well, Long Boming quickly called her out and said, "Madam, let Lu Xuan go and relax. Come with me to see the Alliance Master. We haven't seen each other for so many years, and the Alliance Master misses you very much. If he knew that you were willing to come and see him, he would definitely be very happy."
Zhao Ying stopped and snorted, "If it wasn't for Bing 'er and to prevent Lu Xuan from risking his life, I wouldn't have come."
Long Boming bitterly smiled and lightly shook his head. But no matter what the reason was, it was good that she had come. One night as husband and wife meant a hundred days of love. Thinking about it, as long as the two of them could meet again, it wouldn't take long for them to bury the hatchet.
He immediately led Zhao Ying toward the Jiuhua Alliance. He had just informed Ye Wuhen through telepathy, and she must be waiting excitedly for Zhao Ying's arrival.
As they walked on the streets of Jiuhua City, all they could hear was the hustle and bustle of the city. Having just come out from the barren land of the sealed land, Lu Xuan felt like it was a lifetime ago.
Long Boming was right. Jiuhua City was indeed bustling. At least, it was the busiest city that Lu Xuan had ever seen. There were all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, selling talismans, elixirs, weapons, and armor.
Lu Xuan wasn't in the mood to enter the small shops. He didn't lack money. As long as he could find a treasure he liked, he would buy it no matter how much money he had. Soon, a huge blue pavilion appeared in front of Lu Xuan.
The seven-story pavilion was very eye-catching. A plaque with the words "Vast Sea Pavilion" was written on it. The items sold here were probably from the Myriad Shark Island, Lu Xuan thought to himself. The Myriad Shark Island was the overlord of the sea. The vast ocean was filled with endless resources, including many precious spiritual materials that couldn't be found on land. It was worth a visit.
"Come, let's go take a look," Lu Xuan said to Chen Xiaohan and walked toward the Vast Sea Pavilion.
As one of the largest shops in this area, the Vast Ocean Pavilion's popularity was very high, and its business was also much better than the other shops. Several maids wearing thin clothes stood in front of the pavilion with smiles on their faces, welcoming the guests who came and went. Each of them had a slim figure, and every one of them had an extremely beautiful appearance.
What was even rarer was that these maids were all late-stage Spirit Refinement cultivators. One of them had even reached the ninth level of the Spirit Refinement realm. This surprised Lu Xuan quite a bit. This was quite a show of extravagance. In the world of cultivation, women with such strength would definitely be sought after by many cultivators. But here, they were merely maids to welcome guests. Only a fifth-rank sect could have this kind of power. Lu Xuan guessed that the owner behind the Vast Sea Pavilion was the Myriad Shark Island.
The Myriad Shark Island had a close relationship with the Nine Eastern Alliance. It was no surprise that they had opened a shop of this scale in the Nine Eastern Alliance.
As soon as they saw Lu Xuan walk over, the maids' gazes all fell on him. His handsome appearance, unfathomable aura, and a hint of melancholy were extremely eye-catching. Moreover, Lu Xuan had just experienced a fierce battle in the sealed grounds. His body was still shrouded in a faintly discernible murderous aura. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Xuan was no ordinary cultivator. Of course, the extraordinary little tanuki perched on Lu Xuan's shoulder added a layer of mystery to him.
A tall and slender maid walked out with graceful steps and bowed slightly in front of Lu Xuan. As her robes fluttered, her snow-white breasts dazzled the eyes.
"Young Master, if there is anything you need, please let this servant know. This servant can introduce you to someone." The maid took the initiative to offer her help.
This action of hers caused the cultivators passing by to cast envious glances at Lu Xuan. Although these maids stood at the door to welcome guests, there were not many who could make them take the initiative to lead the way. However, judging from Lu Xuan's appearance, it was clear that Lu Xuan was no ordinary person. Thus, no one dared to be jealous of him.
Lu Xuan's expression did not waver in the face of the maid's enticement. He said indifferently, "What are the most valuable items you have here?"
Hearing that, a sliver of joy flashed through the maid's eyes. He had asked about the most valuable items right off the bat. As expected, he was a great customer. When she thought of that, she did not dare to tarry. The smile on her face became even more resplendent, and she took the initiative to approach Lu Xuan. She said, "With young master's status, ordinary items definitely won't catch your eye. However, young master, you've come at just the right time. Today just happens to be the annual large-scale auction of our Vast Sea Pavilion. We've specially gathered various treasures from various parts of the Heavenly Sword Continent for someone like you to choose from."
Lu Xuan came to a slight understanding. No wonder the Vast Sea Pavilion's popularity was so high. It turned out that he had managed to make it to an auction. However, this was exactly what Lu Xuan wanted. Since it was an auction, and a very high-end one at that, there should be quite a few good items. At the very least, there should be quite a few great treasures.
