The Wind Ridge Auction House was a subsidiary auction house of the largest trading company in the city. Every month, the Wind Ridge Auction House would hold a small auction. Every year, they would hold a large auction.
This time, it was the annual large-scale auction of the Wind Ridge Auction House. It was said that there were countless treasures inside. There were special cultivation pills, all kinds of magic tools, and even some cultivation methods for sale. A large-scale auction like this naturally attracted countless Dust Piercing cultivators from all directions. In a short period of time, the population of Wind Ridge Town greatly increased.
This was why Zhao Hai saw so many people when he came to the Wind Ridge Auction House. If it was a peaceful time, then there wouldn't be so many people here. However, because of the large-scale auction, there were so many people here. Moreover, most of them were Transcending Dust Realm cultivators.
Today was the day of the Wind Ridge Auction House's large-scale auction. Transcending Dust Realm cultivators from all directions rushed to the Wind Ridge Auction House.
Of course, not everyone could enter the Auction House. If you want to enter the Auction House, you must first pay a deposit of 1000 Jade Essences. If you don't have enough deposit, then I'm sorry, you can forget about entering the Auction House.
For some core disciples of big sects, 1,000 Jade Essences was nothing. They could take out more money. However, for some ordinary rogue cultivators, 1,000 Jade Essences was an astronomical figure. Their annual income was less than 1,000 Jade Essences. Just this rule alone was enough to keep most people at the door.
In the beginning, some people were very dissatisfied with this rule. They thought that the Wind Ridge Auction House didn't want to let people in. Later on, they found out that the Wind Ridge Auction House did this because in the annual large-scale auction, there were no cheap items. The cheapest item was at least 1000 Jade Essences. If you didn't have 1000 Jade Essences, then you wouldn't even be able to afford the cheapest item, let alone the rest.
Because of this, the Wind Ridge Auction House had this rule. Not only did it limit the number of people entering the auction house, but it also guaranteed that the items would be sold for a good price.
In front of the Wind Ridge Auction House, there was a row of cultivators wearing the Wind Ridge Auction House's uniform. These cultivators were all Transcending Dust Realm cultivators. Moreover, each of them had a cold expression. At first glance, one could tell that they weren't people to be trifled with. These people were from the Wind Ridge Auction House. If one didn't have the strength and wanted to force their way in, then they would have to pass through them first. Even if one could pass through them, the Wind Ridge Auction House still had a Teleportation Realm cultivator.
The Wind Ridge Auction House was related to the Buyun Sect. Although the Buyun Sect couldn't dominate the Gale Valley, this was still their territory. Moreover, the Buyun Sect had a branch here. Therefore, in this city, no one dared to offend the Buyun Sect. Naturally, no one dared to offend the Wind Ridge Auction House.
Countless cultivators surrounded the Wind Ridge Auction House. They were eagerly looking at the door. Although this was only an auction house, for these Rogue Cultivators, if they could go in and get a treasure, it would greatly increase their strength. It would be very beneficial for their cultivation today.
However, there weren't many cultivators who could actually enter the door. One thousand Jade Essences was just a small amount of money in the eyes of many disciples of the great sects, but it was the annual income of many cultivators. Even so, they couldn't save up to one thousand Jade Essences in a year. If they could save up to a few hundred Jade Essences, then they could be considered as someone who knew how to live and how to be frugal.
The income of a Rogue Cultivator wasn't low, but don't forget that they had to find and sell the things they needed. All of this required money. Their income was 5000 Jade Essences, but in the end, they might not even have 500 Jade Essences left. This was because whether it was pills, artifacts, or ordinary food and clothing, these things had to be earned by themselves. This was one of the reasons why Rogue Cultivators found it difficult to cultivate.
Every month, a sect disciple would be given some pills and materials by the sect for their cultivation. Aside from doing some sect missions, they could use the rest of their time to cultivate. Rogue cultivators, on the other hand, couldn't. They had to rely on themselves for every step forward. They had to find everything by themselves. This naturally took up their cultivation time. Therefore, rogue cultivators generally cultivated very slowly and were very poor.
Although most people couldn't enter the auction house, there were still countless cultivators who would come to the auction house every year. Even if they could only stand outside the auction house and watch, they would still come. Many people came just to watch the fun, but some people wanted to see who was going to enter the auction house. If that person wasn't strong and didn't have a big influence behind him, then when he left, they would naturally come to kill him and steal his treasures. This was a common occurrence in the past auctions.
Qin Feng and Zhao Hai finally arrived in front of the Wind Ridge Auction House. Today, Qin Feng wasn't wearing his sloppy clothes. Instead, he had changed into a clean cultivator's robe. He had also freshened himself up. This made Qin Feng's body exude a noble aura. Naturally, this noble aura also carried a hint of cynicism. It made him look like an invisible prodigal, which made his temperament even more attractive.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai was just following behind him with a calm expression. From the outside, people would think that Zhao Hai was Qin Feng's servant. This was also a method that Zhao Hai came up with. His strength was too weak. If people saw him paying money and entering the auction house, then they would certainly be targeted. Zhao Hai didn't want to cause too much trouble. Therefore, he had Qin Feng dress up while he disguised himself as Qin Feng's servant. The two arrived at the Wind Ridge Auction House together.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Wind Ridge Auction House, a cultivator immediately stopped the two of them. Then the cultivator said, "Please hand over 1000 Jade Essences as deposit."
Qin Feng smiled faintly and waved his hand. Zhao Hai took out a spatial bag and gave it to the cultivator. The cultivator opened the spatial bag and looked inside. Then he nodded and took out a jade token. This jade token had 'Wind Ridge' written on the front and a small hammer on the back. Then he handed the jade token to Zhao Hai and said, "Please." Zhao Hai received the jade token and followed Qin Feng inside.
At this time, there were a few cultivators in the crowd who were chatting in low voices. One of the cultivators said to his companion beside him in a low voice, "I say, Old Ye, did you notice that among the two people who just went in, that Dust Breaker fellow, why do I feel that he is somewhat familiar, as if I've seen him before?"
The cultivator called Old Ye nodded. His eyes flashed with doubt as he said, "Yes, I also feel a sense of familiarity. I think I've seen him somewhere before. However, that person's temperament is unique. If I've seen him before, I should have a deep impression of him. But now, I only feel a sense of familiarity. How strange."
Another cultivator said, "I also feel that he's familiar. But the strangest thing is that we don't seem to know such a big shot cultivator. Rogue cultivators have servants. "
"Hmph! Are you blind? What kind of servant is that? It's just two people acting. You don't know that Dust Piercing Realm cultivator? We used to drink together every day. "The one who spoke was a cultivator standing next to the three.
When the three heard this, they couldn't help but turn to look at him. Old Ye said, "Old Ye, stop talking nonsense. What acting? Who did we drink with? "
Old Ye looked at the three of them and couldn't help but scold, "Dust Piercing Realm cultivators? Are your eyes used to vent your anger? You can't see. That Dust Piercing Realm cultivator is the old drunkard Na Si. You guys still drink with him every day. It's really a waste. "
When the three heard Old Ye say this, they were all stunned. Then the three of them looked at Old Ye in disbelief. After a while, Old Ye laughed and said, "Old Ye, I see that your eyes are only used to vent your anger. How could we not know what the old drunkard is like? You actually said that person was the old drunkard. Your eyes are too problematic."
The other one also laughed and said, "Yes, yes. The old drunkard is probably freeloading at Uncle Wang's shop right now. I was planning to invite him out for a few drinks in the next few days. He's so poor that he can't even afford a set of clothes. Where would he get the money to go to the auction house? Don't joke around."
Old Ye looked at them and sneered, "You three fellows, when you're free, you don't even go see the old drunkard. You clearly don't know that the old drunkard just made a friend two days ago. It's the Soul Combining Realm cultivator who went in with him. I heard that guy is very rich."
The three of them didn't care. Old Ye said, "The old drunkard made a friend again? It's not like you don't know that after that guy drinks a few cups, he will become friends with everyone. However, how many of them will really think about him? His friends all want to take advantage of him. Only a few of us will take care of him from time to time. This time, he even got to know a Combine Soul Stage cultivator. Sigh, the level of this old drunkard is really getting lower and lower. "
Old Ye looked at them and sighed, "Don't talk nonsense, it's true. I heard that Old Drunkard ran out of money a few days ago and went to the city gate to lead someone to earn some money. He happened to meet that person and when that person heard that Old Drunkard was a wine lover, he casually gave Old Drunkard a bag of Jade Essence. I heard that it was worth a few hundred yuan. Old Drunkard was so happy that he took him to Uncle Wang's place to stay. That's how the two became friends. I heard it from Little Sanzi later that Old Drunkard and that person's temperament was very compatible. These two have been drinking together every day for the past two days and surprisingly, Uncle Wang didn't scold them."
When they heard Old Ye, the three of them stared. Then their expressions changed. Old Ye said, "Is it true? That person isn't a swindler, right? The old drunkard doesn't have anything. Why would he get close to the old drunkard? Does he want the old drunkard to work for him? This won't do. When the old drunkard comes out, we have to ask him properly. "The others also nodded. Their faces showed a trace of seriousness.
