Guo Lanyue said seriously, "That Astral Reaching Realm sword artist might be easy to talk to, but not the others. Most importantly, the Gold Tripod City is not the Martial City. I am afraid that once you go out, you will be stopped by people. If you do not mind, you can come to our branch of the Moon Pavilion for a while. I believe those people would not dare to do anything in our branch. Even I do not know how deep the Moon Pavilion's power is. Those rank 7 martial school leaders would still be polite to our leader."
"Eh, thank you!" Besides the sword-shaped plant, Ye Chen did not think that there would be any Astral Reaching Realm warriors who would want to attack him. Even if they were at peak level Late Clasping Yuan Realm, he would still be able to fight with them for a while. In the worst case scenario, he could just run away. With his Separating Shadow Flying Art, it should not be too hard for him to run away. But, if he could use the Fire Dragon Fruit and the sword-shaped plant before he ran away, it would obviously be more confident.
"Young master, he is out!" At the exit of the auction, the ghost head stood right next to the teenager like a ghost. If one did not pay attention, it would be very easy to ignore him.
The teenager nodded, "This is the auction house. Don't do anything yet. Let's go out first."
Outside of the auction house was a huge plaza. In the middle of the plaza, there was a twenty-seven meters tall statue with a bronze color. According to the rumors, this was the founder of the Gold Tripod City Auction House, and the current owner of the auction house was his descendant.
Ye Chen and Guo Lanyue walked side by side, while the Fourth and Sixth Night followed on the side. The four of them left the auction house and appeared on the plaza.
Just as Guo Lanyue had expected, there was indeed someone blocking their way.
Seeing the Fourth Night behind Ye Chen, the teenager was a bit scared. But thinking about the ghost head behind him, he did not hesitate anymore. He said lightly, "Friend, you are quite rich, which I admire. However, the sword-shaped plant and the Fire Dragon Fruit are very useful to me. I wonder if I can sell them?"
Ye Chen glanced at the ghost head. This man had given him a lot of pressure. He should be a peak level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior, and not just a normal peak level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior. As for what the teenager had said, Ye Chen laughed in his mind. He said, "I have spent one hundred and fifty million gold on the three sword-shaped plants, and one Fire Dragon Fruit is three hundred and sixty thousand low-rank soul stones. How much are you prepared to pay?"
The young man's face sank slightly, but he still put on a smile and said, "I don't have so much gold and spirit stones at the moment. How about this, I'll pay you 10 million gold and 100 thousand low-grade spirit stones first. I'll owe you the rest first. When I have enough money, I'll pay you back double."
"Sorry, no credit allowed. Since you do not have money, there is nothing.
Ghost Elder's gloomy voice came over, "Little brother, this is not how you should behave. My young master has already given you a lot of face."
Right then, Guo Lanyue took a step forward, "He is a friend of our Moon Pavilion. You two, please step aside!"
"Canvass Moon Pavilion!" The young man and Elder Ghost's expressions changed slightly.
Turning his eyes back to Ye Chen, the young man's eyes were as sharp as knives. He said word by word, "When you are outside, it is always better to have one more friend than one more enemy. I only want two Sword-shaped Plants and half of the Dragon Fruit. The price is still the same as before. What do you think?" The last two words, the young man had a hint of coldness hidden in his eyes. He stared at Ye Chen without blinking.
"If it were you, would you agree?" Ye Chen's expression was the same as usual, and there was a faint smile on his face. However, there was an even deeper killing intent hidden in the depths of his eyes. Today, this enmity had been formed. If he didn't kill them, others would definitely kill him. So, as long as there was a chance, he didn't mind killing these two people.
"Very good. Remember to be careful when you go out. Don't fall."
After saying that, the young man and the Spectral Elder left.
On the street.
"Young master, what do you plan to do?" Ghost Elder used his Zhen Qi to transmit his voice.
"Of course, I will kill him." The young man said coldly.
The Spectral Elder nodded, "The Gold Tripod City is too big. We will have to gather a lot of people and block all the routes. Wait until he is separated from the people from the Moon Pavilion, then we will make our move."
"Spectral Elder, just in case, you will need to bring a few more members from the Ghost Hall. I do not want any accidents to happen."
"Sure!"
Before the first wave was over, another wave came. Ye Chen was just about to go to the branch of the Moon Pavilion to sit down when two middle-aged men with immeasurable qi walked over.
On the left was a square-faced middle-aged man with a straight back, wearing a long blue robe. Next to him was a ferocious-looking man with a bare chest. His face was full of muscles, and there was a heavy evil qi in the corner of his eyes. With just one look, one could tell that he was someone who had killed countless people. One was righteous and the other evil. Their auras were very contradictory, but if you observed them carefully, they seemed to be in harmony.
Not to mention their auras, both of them were real Astral Reaching Realm warriors.
Guo Lanyue swallowed her saliva. The square-faced middle-aged man, who was the Astral Reaching Realm sword artist, was very easy to talk to. She had never heard of him killing innocent people. As for the ferocious-looking man, he was definitely not a kind person. She wondered why they were looking for Ye Chen. Was it because of the sword-shaped plant?
"Brat, my friend wants to buy one of your sword-shaped plants. Do you have any problem with that?" The ferocious-looking man went straight to the point.
Ye Chen observed the man's expression and said calmly, "One sword-shaped plant, we can talk about it."
The ferocious-looking man was about to say something, but the square-faced man stopped him and said apologetically, "My friend here is a bit rude. I hope you don't mind him. Also, I only want one sword-shaped plant, and the price is two hundred thousand low-rank soul stones. Of course, if you don't want to sell it, I will not force you. You don't have to worry about it. "
"Two hundred thousand low-rank soul stones?" To be honest, Ye Chen was a bit shocked. Two hundred thousand low-rank soul stones would be eighty million gold, which was way more than what he had paid for one sword-shaped plant. He thought they would only offer fifty thousand low-rank soul stones at most, or even less. But the situation was not in his favor. Even if they only offered ten thousand low-rank soul stones, he would still have to sell it.
"What? You think it is too little? I only have this many low-rank soul stones with me. How about one thousand mid-rank soul stones? "The square-faced man saw Ye Chen's expression change, so he said.
Ye Chen shook his head, "Even two hundred thousand is too much. I thought you would not pay this much."
The square-faced man laughed, "Originally, without my participation, the final price of the three sword-shaped plants would not be more than thirty to forty million gold. Speaking of which, it is still your loss."
Without saying anything, Ye Chen took out a sword-shaped plant from his storage ring and handed it over to the man.
"This storage ring is for you." The square-faced man threw the low-rank storage ring with the low-rank soul stones directly into Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen did not even look at it before throwing it into his own storage ring.
The square-faced man was planning to leave, but he noticed Ye Chen's action. He paused a bit, then said with a bright voice, "Young man, my name is Song Yan, what is your name?"
"Senior Song, my name is Ye Chen."
"Ye Chen, good name, I will remember you."
After Song Yan and the evil looking man left, Guo Lanyue wiped the sweat off her forehead and said to Ye Chen, "You did well. A real man knows when to give and when to give. I thought you would not sell it."
Ye Chen said, "People live to survive. As long as they have not completely lost their dignity, I believe every rational person would do the same."
Hearing him, the Fourth Night and the Sixth Night seemed to be thinking about something.
The Moon Pavilion took up a huge space. There were more than twenty yards, a couple of halls, and a huge palace. Entering it, Ye Chen found a lot of people who were younger than him training, sweating profusely. There were also some Clasping Yuan Realm warriors giving them lessons. The content was all different, not all about martial arts. However, in Ye Chen's ears, it sounded different. A lot of these lessons were about how to behave. In Ye Chen's eyes, only by knowing how to behave would one be able to succeed.
"Every year, the Moon Pavilion would take in a lot of young people with potential. Among them, the top ones would be sent to the headquarters to take the test. Those who passed the test would become the backup members of the Seven Nights. Those who failed the test would also become the focus of the Moon Pavilion." Guo Lanyue explained to Ye Chen as they walked.
Ye Chen went silent. He had not seen the headquarters of the Moon Pavilion, but just a single branch had allowed him to see a lot of things. One branch was not scary, but hundreds and thousands of branches combined would not be that scary. It was not hard to imagine that with this kind of strict system, the Moon Pavilion would be able to train a huge amount of martial geniuses that were no weaker than the martial institutions, providing more excellent blood for the organization.
From a certain aspect, the system of the Moon Pavilion was more perfect and excellent than the martial institutions. But of course, there were advantages and disadvantages. Compared to the martial institutions, the power of the Moon Pavilion was undoubtedly scattered, which made it easy to be taken down one by one. Unless the power of the Moon Pavilion was strong enough, the enemies would not dare to attack easily.
"You can stay in this yard for now. It has been cleaned already." In front of a delicate yard, Guo Lanyue stopped.
Ye Chen said, "Thank you."
"Hehe, no need to thank me. I am just trying to attract you to join the Moon Pavilion." Guo Lanyue chuckled.
Ye Chen said seriously, "Wait until I get to know more about the Moon Pavilion. If I am interested in it, then maybe I will join."
"Oh! Is that so? "Guo Lanyue's eyes brightened.
…
The night slowly arrived, and the moonlight was like water.
Inside the clean bedroom, Ye Chen sat on the bed with his legs crossed.
He touched his storage ring with his finger, and a longan-sized red fruit appeared in Ye Chen's hand. The fruit was crystal clear, and there were tiny patterns on its surface. If observed carefully, one could see that the patterns were not messy at all. Instead, they were spread out in lines. At first glance, it looked like a dragon pattern made up of simple lines, which was quite mysterious.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen picked up the Dragon Fruit and shoved it into his mouth.
Gulp!
Ye Chen bit through the skin, and the Dragon Fruit melted in his mouth. It turned into liquid and was swallowed whole.
All of a sudden, a gentle qi spread out in his body. Ye Chen understood that it should be the spirit qi that the auctioneer had mentioned, which was no weaker than zhen Qi.
Activating his Mysterious Great Art, Ye Chen closed his eyes.
Almost every time he completed a full circle, Ye Chen's cultivation would increase by another level. There was no blockage during the whole process, and it was just natural.
The three hundred and sixtieth full circle had been completed.
Whoo!
A wave of transparent pattern spread out from Ye Chen's body. The window not far away started to make a loud noise, and the wooden table beside the bed had been pushed out a couple of meters by the qi flow.
Opening his eyes, Ye Chen slowly let out a breath.
"Turning the spirit qi into zhen Qi was much easier than I thought. I thought it would take a couple of times longer." Within a couple of hours, Ye Chen's cultivation had improved drastically. He had reached the peak-level Mid Clasping Yuan Realm from the Mid Clasping Yuan Realm, and his zhen Qi had increased by more than thirty percent.
