The trade fair was in full swing. The entire square was filled with people, just like a wet market. Every single person here was a great warrior, and the weakest among them was a Late Heavenly Core warrior. Divine Core warriors were everywhere.
Every single person here was someone that the Fragrant Sky City could only look up to. This was the difference between different regions. As the saying went, different places nurtured different people. The Saint Origin realm was a vast land, and the natural Yuan energy was different. Therefore, the people who came from the Fragrant Sky City were different as well.
The first day of the trade fair passed by quickly. Jiang Chen, Han Yan, and Da Huang Dog had a leisurely day. Aside from the broken King Weapon and an unknown bronze plate, they found nothing else.
Even though it was night time, the square was still bustling with activity. Warriors were fiercely trading with each other. Everyone here were great warriors, so they had good eyesight. Even at night, they could still see the treasures clearly.
"Little Chenzi, all the treasures here are just trash. We've been wandering around for a whole day, but nothing caught our eye."
Han Yan said in an annoyed manner.
"Do you even need to think about it? The real treasures will only appear in the auction two days later. Didn't you notice that the Blissful Manor didn't even send anyone to maintain the order in this trade fair? "
Da Huang Dog said.
"That's right, the Blissful Manor doesn't care about this trade fair at all. All Master Blissful's goal is the auction that's going to take place in two days. A large-scale auction will bring unimaginable benefits to the Blissful Manor."
Jiang Chen nodded his head. Master Blissful was a smart man, he would never waste his time on a trade fair like this wet market.
"Little Chenzi, do you think a treasure like the Nine Solar Holy Water will appear in the trade fair two days later?"
Han Yan asked.
"I don't know."
Jiang Chen shook his head. The Nine Solar Holy Water was his main goal, and he was even more anxious than Han Yan.
"What should we do now? We can't just walk around here blindly, right? "
Da Huang Dog said in a gloomy manner.
"Let's enter the villa and find a place to meditate. We'll attend the auction in two days."
As Jiang Chen spoke, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the villa. This market like trade fair was really boring. He didn't fancy ordinary treasures, and if someone had a real treasure, they would definitely not take it out to trade here. They would definitely wait until the trade fair in two days.
As for Jiang Chen, he wanted to take advantage of these two days to improve his cultivation. After absorbing the Flood Dragon's blood essence, the Dragon Transformation skill had evolved, and a total of 1,600 Dragon Marks had formed in his body, breaking through to the Mid Divine Core realm. He wanted to take advantage of these two days to absorb the demon souls and improve his cultivation.
The conflict with Mao Sheng had made Jiang Chen realize that with his current combat strength, he was still no match for a Combat Soul warrior. Since he had offended the Qingyi Sect, once the auction ended in two days, Mao Sheng would definitely attack him.
Although Old Man Ling Shan was willing to help him, Jiang Chen didn't like his fate being controlled by someone else. Besides, the Myriad Sword Sect and Shangguan Clan were both his enemies. Under such a situation, the most important thing for him was to improve his combat strength.
The Blissful Manor was a huge place, it occupied almost the entire center of the Blissful Island. The huge manor was brightly lit, and rows of exquisitely built courtyards could be seen.
With both hands placed behind his back, Jiang Chen strode towards the entrance of the Blissful Manor. There were four entrances in the Blissful Manor, and the one Jiang Chen chose was the closest to the square. There wasn't even a single guard here.
"There isn't even a single guard here?"
Han Yan asked.
"The trade fair is still ongoing, so there's no need for any guards. Besides, no one would dare cause trouble in the Blissful Manor."
With a smile on his face, Jiang Chen strode into the Blissful Manor.
Not long after Jiang Chen and Han Yan left, they saw a beautiful girl walking toward them. The girl's body was soft, as if she didn't have any bones, and she looked very charming. She was none other than the mermaid who had appeared outside the Blissful Island.
However, this girl didn't look like a mermaid, she looked just like a normal human. When the girl saw Jiang Chen, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face as she walked toward Jiang Chen.
"Young master Chen Jiang."
The girl slightly bowed toward Jiang Chen and said, "My name is Xiao Wei, how can I be of service to young master Chen Jiang?"
Xiao Wei seemed to be very interested in this handsome young man in front of her. As a demonic beast, she liked wild men the most. However, Jiang Chen's performance yesterday was not wild at all. He was simply barbaric, killing people the moment he attacked. That kind of decisiveness was the first time Xiao Wei had seen a young genius like him, which made her have a very good impression of Jiang Chen.
"Miss Xiao Wei, we would like to find a quiet place to cultivate in your manor while we wait for the auction in two days. I wonder if Miss Xiao Wei could do us a favor? As for how much Elixir you need, I'll pay for it."
Jiang Chen said straightforwardly.
"If it was someone else, they would have to practice Elixir every single night they stayed here, but young master Chen Jiang is different. Not only does Xiao Wei like you, even the master likes you. Therefore, no matter how long young master Chen Jiang stays here, I won't charge you a single cent. Xiao Wei will bring young master Chen Jiang to a quiet place to cultivate."
Xiao Wei smiled at Jiang Chen, then turned around and walked into the manor.
"Kaka, Little Chenzi, this girl has taken a fancy to you."
Da Huang Dog laughed loudly and spoke without restraint. Xiao Wei heard Da Huang Dog's words, but the smile on her face didn't change, as if she didn't mind it at all.
Jiang Chen and Han Yan glared at Da Huang Dog at the same time. They really wanted to sew this dog's mouth shut. No matter what words came out of this dog's mouth, it would have a different meaning.
Walking on the road in the manor, there were beautiful mountains all around. The houses on both sides of the road were complete courtyards with house numbers written on them.
Under Xiao Wei's lead, Jiang Chen and Han Yan walked on a street. Underneath their feet was a shiny black rock, which was very flat. Along the way, they saw a lot of cultivators coming and going. Some of them had a complacent smile on their face, while some had an anxious look on their face.
"Most of these people have good treasures to auction, so they need to come to the manor in advance to record the information of their treasures. There are also some people like you, who have no interest in the trade fair outside, so they came here to cultivate."
Xiao Wei explained.
Jiang Chen and Han Yan nodded their heads. Those who could come here, no matter if they were staying or auctioning treasures, were all rich and powerful people.
"Miss Xiao Wei, are the treasures in the auction all entrusted by someone else?"
Han Yan asked again.
"Of course not. Our Blissful Manor will definitely have a lot of treasures as well. Normally, the treasures in the finale will belong to our Blissful Manor, unless someone brings out a better treasure than ours. Only then will we switch to the finale."
Xiao Wei said.
Jiang Chen and Han Yan nodded their heads again. They didn't doubt Xiao Wei's words. Needless to say, there were a lot of treasures in the Blissful Manor. Since Master Blissful was the owner of this trade fair, if he didn't have any treasures, it would be a little unreasonable.
"Miss Xiao Wei, do you know if there will be a treasure like the Nine Solar Holy Water in this auction?"
Jiang Chen asked tentatively.
"Young master Chen Jiang, the Nine Solar Holy Water is a pure Yang treasure, it's extremely hard to find. I've never heard of the Nine Solar Holy Water before. However, my position in the Blissful Manor is not high, so my knowledge about it is limited. Furthermore, those strange people from the ocean and rogue cultivators from the continent always have some amazing treasures. However, the records of their treasures are all top secret, and they won't reveal it to the public.
That's why I have no idea about it. "Xiao Wei was very enthusiastic, she answered all of Jiang Chen's questions. However, she had never heard of a treasure like the Nine Solar Holy Water. In fact, she only said those words to comfort Jiang Chen. In her eyes, although the Blissful Manor's auction was big, it was very rare for a treasure like the Nine Solar Holy Water to appear. After all, if someone managed to obtain the Nine Solar Holy Water, who would be willing to sell it?
"Thank you for your answer, Miss Xiao Wei."
Jiang Chen smiled. No matter what, this girl had given him a good impression.
"You're being too polite, young master Chen Jiang. Alright, we've arrived. This courtyard is surrounded by mountains, and it's relatively quiet. I wonder if young master Chen Jiang is satisfied with this place?"
Xiao Wei brought Jiang Chen and Han Yan to a courtyard. At this moment, the door of the courtyard was wide open, and there were three rooms inside. The courtyard had an elegant ambiance, and there was a green mountain at the back.
"This place is not bad. This is a high-ranked combat weapon, Miss Xiao Wei, please take it."
Jiang Chen casually waved his hand, and with a bright flash, an extremely sharp longsword appeared in front of Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei's expression changed slightly. The longsword was as thin as a cicada's wings, and it was emitting a crystal-like light. It was obviously not an ordinary weapon.
"Young master Chen Jiang, this …"
Xiao Wei stared at Jiang Chen in disbelief.
"It's yours."
Jiang Chen walked past Xiao Wei and went straight into the courtyard. Jiang Chen was never a stingy person. Besides, a high-ranked combat weapon could help him build a good relationship with the people from the Blissful Manor.
"Thank you young master Chen Jiang for the sword."
Xiao Wei held the longsword in her hand. A strange expression emerged on her face. Although she was an Early Divine Core warrior, she was only using a mid-ranked combat weapon. She never expected Jiang Chen to be so generous and give her a high-ranked combat weapon. This made Xiao Wei's impression of Jiang Chen improve once again.
When Jiang Chen and Han Yan entered the courtyard, Xiao Wei helped them close the door. After that, she left happily.
"Brother Yan, I'm going to enter secluded cultivation to improve my cultivation. You and Da Huang should go cultivate as well, just don't delay the auction."
Jiang Chen said to Han Yan and Da Huang Dog.
"Alright."
Han Yan nodded his head.
There were three rooms, two men and a dog, one for each person. After Jiang Chen closed the door, he didn't have the mood to look at the furnishings in the room. He just sat down with his legs crossed.
"If I want to break through to the Late Divine Core realm, the number of Dragon Marks I have will need to double. I need a total of 3,200 Dragon Marks. I have a strong foundation now, so I can easily use demon souls. But, although I have a lot of demon souls, I don't have many Late Divine Core demon souls."
