In an area near the Ruo Shui River in the south of the Inner Land of the Cloud Continent, there was a bustling big city.
This big city was called Ataraxia City.
In this city, everything was indeed peaceful, and there was almost no fighting.
Even if there were fights, they would be taken away by a group of powerful Law Enforcers in the blink of an eye.
Nobody knew what happened to those who were taken away.
However, nobody ever saw them again.
The group of Law Enforcers who took them away was from the Zhou Clan in Ataraxia City.
The Zhou Clan was the number one clan in Ataraxia City. It was a first-rate force. Not only did it oversee the entire Ataraxia City, but it also controlled half of the industries in Ataraxia City.
As for the other half of the industries in Ataraxia City, it was controlled by a few first-rate forces.
One of them was the original Yin Yang Sect, which was now known as the Ling Tian Sect.
Outside Ataraxia City, two figures followed the crowd into the city. A young man and a young woman who were like a golden couple quickly attracted the attention of many people.
"What a handsome young man!"
"The lady next to him has a peerless appearance. She can be said to be devastatingly beautiful."
…
Many people whispered among themselves.
The people who entered Ataraxia City were Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu who had just left the Ling Tian Sect this morning.
Although Duan Lingtian was the Sect Leader of the Ling Tian Sect, and his name was well-known in the surrounding area, not many people had actually seen him before.
Therefore, nobody could recognize him when he walked on the crowded street in Ataraxia City.
"Didn't you find any useful clues when you went there last time?"
Feng Tianwu suddenly asked. Her question was very abrupt.
However, Duan Lingtian could guess what she was asking about. "They were very careful. They didn't leave any clues behind."
Feng Tianwu was silent. After a while, she said, "You'll meet them again."
"Yes."
Duan Lingtian nodded. However, his expression was slightly solemn.
"Tian Wu, do you know why I'm here?"
Soon after, Duan Lingtian's expression relaxed as he changed the topic.
"The Zhou Clan's large-scale auction."
Feng Tianwu spoke very little, but she hit the nail on the head, causing Duan Lingtian to be stunned. He was greatly surprised. "How did you guess?"
"When we entered the city, many people were talking about it."
Feng Tianwu said.
Her words were very clear.
When she entered the city earlier, she heard many people discussing the large-scale auction that the Zhou Clan's Auction Square was holding today.
Therefore, she guessed.
The purpose of Duan Lingtian's trip this time was also the large-scale auction that was held every three months by the Zhou Family's Auction House.
"I didn't expect you to be so meticulous."
Duan Lingtian sighed, "That's right. My goal this time is precisely the large scale auction that the Zhou Family is holding today … Speaking of which, I have already been waiting for this day for a few days. "
In Ataraxia City, there was only one auction house, which was controlled by the Zhou Clan. Every three months, a large-scale auction would be held.
As for small auctions, they were held every day.
A few days ago, after learning about the existence of Ataraxia City and the Zhou Clan, as well as the large-scale auction that the Zhou Clan would hold every three months, Duan Lingtian had been waiting for this day.
And now, he had finally waited for this day.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Zhou Clan's Auction Square … The auction will begin in an hour. "
Duan Lingtian called out to Feng Tianwu before he turned right and walked forward.
Although it was his first time in Ataraxia City, he seemed to be very familiar with the place. Feng Tianwu could not help but feel surprised. "Have you been here before?"
"No, it's my first time here."
Duan Lingtian replied truthfully.
It was indeed his first time here. The reason he seemed to be very familiar with the place was because Luo Ping had prepared a layout map of the entire Ataraxia City for him a few days ago.
The map indicated the few properties of the Ling Tian Sect in Ataraxia City and the location of the Zhou Clan's Auction Square.
Therefore, since Duan Lingtian had memorized the layout map, it was natural for him to be very familiar with the way to the Zhou Clan's Auction Square since he had already memorized the route.
After learning everything from Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu nodded lightly.
"I heard that the Zhou Clan's Auction Square is different from the ordinary auction square … It's an open-air auction square."
On the way, Duan Lingtian told Feng Tianwu.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu arrived at the Zhou Clan's Auction Square.
At this moment, the place was already crowded with people. Most of them were here to watch the show while a small number of them were here to participate in the auction.
"Let's go over there."
Duan Lingtian brought Feng Tianwu to the other side.
Soon after, independent pavilions appeared before their eyes. A spacious path that was paved with bluestone allowed people to move freely on it.
Soon after, Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu arrived at the entrance of the bluestone paved path.
They saw a delicate and pretty lady standing on each side of the path. They were dressed plainly and had a smile on their faces. It was as though they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"Dear guests, are you here to auction off something?"
One of the ladies asked with a smile as she looked at Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu. Her voice was as pleasant as an oriole's.
"I'm here to auction off two items."
Duan Lingtian nodded.
"May I know what you're here to auction off? The auction is about to begin, but ordinary auction items are not allowed to be auctioned off at this time. "
The woman asked first, then continued, "Don't worry.
When she reached the end of her sentence, she undoubtedly revealed another meaning.
At this time, the Zhou Clan's Auction Square would not auction off ordinary auction items.
"I'm here to auction off a grade one Spirit Weapon and a grade one Life Recovery Pill."
Duan Lingtian said calmly as though he was not affected by the lady's words at all.
Grade one Spirit Weapon?
Grade one Life Recovery Pill?
"Dear guest, I'm really sorry. At this time, our Zhou Clan will only auction off items that are qualified to be the finale. "
The lady said apologetically.
In her opinion, although a grade one Spirit Weapon was precious, it was not qualified to be the finale item of the Zhou Clan's Auction Square's auction that was held once every three months.
As for a grade one Life Recovery Pill, it was even less qualified.
Duan Lingtian was not surprised by the lady's reaction. He said nonchalantly, "What if it's a grade one Spirit Weapon that can increase one's strength by 90% and a grade one pill with a purity of more than 90%?"
Gasp!
The moment Duan Lingtian's words left his mouth, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
The two ladies standing in front of him narrowed their eyes, and their faces turned solemn.
"Dear guest, can you take out your grade one Spirit Weapon for me to test? If it's really like what you said, I'll bring you backstage and get someone to appraise the grade one Life Recovery Pill that you brought. "
Although one of the ladies did not quite believe Duan Lingtian's words, she still said that in an attempt to make Duan Lingtian back off.
Any martial artist with Origin Energy in their body could test how much a grade one Spirit Weapon could increase one's strength.
As for the purity of a grade one pill, one would have to get a professional alchemist to appraise it.
"Of course."
Duan Lingtian knew very well that if he rejected the lady's request at this time, it would mean that he was guilty. It was impossible for the lady to believe that he had a grade one Spirit Weapon that could increase one's strength by 90%.
For this reason, he casually handed the grade one Spirit Weapon that he had prepared to the lady.
It was a grade one Spirit Sword that Duan Lingtian had casually refined a few days ago. It could increase one's strength by 90%.
The lady who thought Duan Lingtian would back off was stunned when she saw Duan Lingtian handing over a grade one Spirit Weapon. Really?
However, as a member of the Zhou Clan's Auction Square, she quickly regained her senses and took the grade one Spirit Sword from Duan Lingtian.
Whoosh!
As the lady's hand shook, the grade one Spirit Sword in her hand let out a crisp sword cry.
Soon after, a gush of Origin Energy surged out of the lady's hand and merged with the grade one Spirit Sword in her hand.
Whoosh!
For a moment, 1,000 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons appeared above the lady's head as though they were telling her that her cultivation base was at the Seventh Level Void Transformation Stage.
Soon after, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon appeared next to the 1,000 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons.
A total of 900 silhouettes of ancient horned dragons appeared, no more and no less.
"A 90% increase!"
The other lady's eyes narrowed when she saw the scene before her. Shock was written all over her face.
The lady who tested the grade one Spirit Sword was also dumbfounded. She did not expect a grade one Spirit Weapon that could increase one's strength by 90% would really exist in this world.
Soon after, the two ladies regained their senses.
After looking at each other, the lady who tested the grade one Spirit Sword returned the grade one Spirit Sword in her hand to Duan Lingtian. There was a 180-degree change in her attitude. "Dear guests, please follow me."
As the lady spoke, she led Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu along the bluestone paved road and went straight ahead.
Such a grade one Spirit Weapon was qualified to be the finale of the auction today.
There were pavilions on both sides of the bluestone road. Many people were seated inside. They were the people who came to participate in the auction held by the Zhou Clan's Auction Square today.
As they walked forward, Duan Lingtian was also curiously sizing up the Zhou Clan's Auction Square in front of him.
The Zhou Clan's Auction Square looked very grand and elegant. It did not feel oppressive at all. The auction environment was extremely quiet.
At the end of the bluestone road was the high platform of the Zhou Clan's Auction Square. It was also the auction stage.
Behind the auction stage, there were two pieces of red cloth that looked like curtains hanging on a metal frame that was prepared beforehand. One would be able to reach the backstage of the Zhou Clan's Auction Square through the middle of the two pieces of red cloth.
"Dear guests, this way please."
However, the lady who brought Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu here did not bring them to the backstage of the Auction Square through the middle of the two pieces of red cloth.
If that was the case, they would undoubtedly be a huge target.
At that time, perhaps everyone present would know that Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu were here to put up their items for auction.
As the saying went, 'One should not reveal one's wealth'. This was not a good thing.
The lady brought Duan Lingtian and Feng Tianwu around. After taking a few hidden turns, they finally entered a secluded passage and successfully arrived at the backstage of the Auction Square.
However, this could only be considered as the outer area of the backstage of the Auction Square. This was because there were a few pieces of red cloth that were hung on the metal frame. It made the backstage of the Auction Square even more mysterious.
'This must be the place to receive people who put up their items for auction. '
Duan Lingtian thought to himself.
