Loca City was just one of the places Xiao Chen would pass by on his way to the Cultivation World. He did not plan to stay for long. If he had not encountered such an incident, Xiao Chen would have left long ago.
Time passed slowly as Xiao Chen traveled. After a few months, Xiao Chen arrived at the border of Yunzhou.
It had been a year and a half since Xiao Chen left Oriental City for Yunzhou. During this time, Xiao Chen had grown up very quickly. He had become more mature and steady. His height had reached more than 1.8 meters, and he was almost 17 years old. He had grown into a young man with a slightly tanned face and delicate features. He was full of determination and fortitude, and his dark pupils exuded an intimidating aura.
In these few months of traveling, although Xiao Chen's cultivation had improved, he had not broken through to the Late Stage of the Golden Core Realm. He was only a little stronger than he was a few months ago.
"Xiao Chen, there are so many experts in Lanzhou. Don't tell me you've arrived at the Cultivation World?" The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said uncertainly, "I'm not sure either. But I've been traveling for a few months, so I think so."
After entering Lanzhou, Xiao Chen was attracted by the bustling streets. Lanzhou was prosperous and there were many experts. It was the most prosperous region Xiao Chen had ever seen. What surprised him was that the Golden Core experts flying in from the sky did not shock the Lanzhou cultivators. It was as if they were used to it.
Xiao Chen looked around on the streets. His mood was affected by the beautiful atmosphere of the Lanzhou cultivators. There was a hint of joy on his face.
On the street, Xiao Chen stopped a middle-aged man and asked politely, "Brother, can I ask if this is considered the Cultivation World?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Xiao Chen in confusion. Then, he nodded and said, "It's the Cultivation World. However, this is the border of the Cultivation World. This is Yunzhou. The real Cultivation World is in Jingzhou."
"Border? Does that mean that we're not far from Jingzhou? "Xiao Chen asked excitedly.
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "It's not far. After the Cloud Prefecture is the Jing Prefecture. The Cloud Prefecture isn't big, but it'll still take a month. If we fly, we'll arrive in half a month."
"I got it. Thank you, Big Brother!" Xiao Chen said with a smile. He was overjoyed.
"Xiao Chen, we're finally in the World of Cultivators!" The Ancient White Tiger transmitted his voice happily. It had been a long and arduous journey. Now that they had finally arrived at their destination, there was an indescribable sense of joy in their hearts.
"Little brother, I think you've just arrived at Yunzhou, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked. The auction in the Cloud Prefecture is about to start. You should go and take a look. It's in the Cloud Prefecture City just ahead. "The middle-aged man said kindly before leaving.
"Thank you for telling me, Big Brother." Xiao Chen cupped his fists and thanked him.
"Xiao Chen, are you going to take a look at the auction?" The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission asked. He seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Hehe, to be honest, I'm looking forward to it too. Although the Cloud Prefecture is just at the border of the World of Cultivators, experts are everywhere. There must be a lot of treasures in the auction. I have a lot of crystal stones. Let's go take a look." Xiao Chen laughed excitedly and quickly walked towards the Cloud Prefecture City.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the imposing city gate of the Cloud Prefecture City, he saw a large number of cultivators gathering from all directions. He didn't need to guess to know that they were here for the auction.
Xiao Chen didn't know the way, but he couldn't go wrong following the crowd. After about ten minutes, Xiao Chen saw the words' Cloud Prefecture Auction 'hanging from the top of a tall and imposing building.
A large number of people had gathered at the entrance of the auction. It was a sea of people. There were still people gathering there. There were at least tens of thousands of people.
The scale of the auction was huge. It was made up of several large and magnificent buildings. A large number of cultivators entered. The entire auction was like a storage ring, able to accommodate a large number of people.
There were more than ten guards at the entrance of the auction. Two maids were at the entrance giving out numbers. Every cultivator received their number and entered the auction. Xiao Chen was the same.
After entering the auction, Xiao Chen was shocked by the large hall that was the size of several football fields. This was the first time he had seen such a large auction. It was dozens of times larger than the auction in the Wind Moon City!
The auction table was in the middle of the auction hall. There were rows of seats all around. Everyone found their seats according to their number and sat down.
The auction house had a total of six floors, and each floor had a luxurious private room. However, these private rooms were naturally prepared for the experts or the people from the big families. In the center of the auction, there was a huge four-sided screen that everyone could see clearly.
"Xiao Chen, there are so many experts! There are dozens of Gold Core Realm cultivators and eight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators! Yunzhou is indeed full of experts! "The Ancient White Tiger transmitted his voice in surprise.
Xiao Chen was also stunned. Then, he became excited and said with ecstasy, "There are indeed many experts. As expected of the Cultivation World."
Xiao Chen's number was 20153. He was already at number 20,000. It was obvious that there were many people in the auction hall. It was not easy for him to find his seat.
After an hour, the auction hall was full of people. Moreover, the tens of thousands of people were very quiet. Obviously, they were in awe of the auction hall. To be able to make so many people quiet down and not dare to be presumptuous, one could see the strength of the auction hall.
At this moment, an old man with white hair and beard wearing a black robe appeared on the auction stage. He touched his white goatee and smiled faintly, "Hehe, welcome everyone to Yunzhou Auction Hall. This Old Man is the auction hall's president, Yang Tiancheng. Yunzhou Auction Hall is the Jingzhou Auction Hall's branch. I'm sure everyone knows that the auction that is held once every five years is about to begin. Now, let's have the auction hall's chief auctioneer, Angie, explain the rules."
"Xiao Chen, this Yang Tiancheng is a Mid Nascent Soul Realm expert. He's so powerful." The Ancient White Tiger transmitted his voice. He finally saw a real expert.
"No wonder no one dares to be presumptuous in the auction hall. Other than Yang Tiancheng being a Mid Nascent Soul Realm expert, this is the Jingzhou Auction Hall's branch. I'm sure the president of the main association is even stronger." Xiao Chen whispered in surprise. When he thought of the top experts in the Cultivation World, his blood boiled.
On the auction stage, a coquettish woman wearing a red cheongsam appeared. Her long hair was tied up and a charming smile hung on her delicate and charming face. Her body was curvaceous and could definitely be regarded as a peerless beauty. She was the chief auctioneer, Angie, the number one beauty in Yunzhou.
Seeing the beauty Angie appear, it immediately caused a small commotion among the tens of thousands of people in the auction hall. All the men's eyes were shining and their saliva was about to flow out. Angie did not pay any attention to them. She was obviously used to being a beauty.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Welcome everyone to Yunzhou Auction Hall. I'm the chief auctioneer, Angie. It's my honor to host today's auction. There are more than a hundred items in this auction. Each item will be sold at the highest price. The limit of the auction is that the auction will only accept high-grade crystals. Now, I announce that the auction will officially begin."
As soon as Angie's voice fell, everyone in the auction hall shifted their attention to the huge screen. An item appeared on all four screens.
"Xiao Chen, this woman named Angie is a Middle-stage Gold Core expert, just like you!" The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
Xiao Chen nodded. Naturally, he could see it. However, he just glanced at Angie and shifted his attention to the screen.
At this time, Angie smiled faintly and said, "This item is a Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, the Blood Blade. Everyone knows that a Spiritual Weapon has great power and can increase the user's combat effectiveness. The starting price is 50,000 high-grade crystals and the increment must not be less than 10,000."
"Wow! It's a Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon! I'll pay 60,000 high-grade crystals! "A cultivator immediately shouted excitedly.
"Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon! I want it too! I'll pay 70,000 high-grade crystals! "
"I'll pay 80,000 high-grade crystals!"
"I'll pay 100,000!"
As soon as the Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon appeared, it instantly caused a commotion among the cultivators in the auction hall. One by one, they madly bid. The originally quiet auction hall was instantly filled with noise like a boiling pot.
Seeing so many cultivators madly bid, Xiao Chen was shocked. He said in surprise, "It's just a Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon, but there's such a big reaction."
The price of the Middle-grade Spiritual Weapon soared. In a short time, the price had risen to more than 200,000. However, the number of cultivators who bid decreased. After all, it was too expensive and not worth it. In the end, 280,000 high-grade crystals were won by a cultivator.
The next few items were the same. The cultivators in the auction hall madly bid, especially the Profound Level Martial Skill. The cultivators became crazy and some even quarreled because of the fierce bidding.
"Xiao Chen, these things are very important to them, but they're not important to the experts. Don't you see that the people in the private rooms are not bidding?" The Ancient White Tiger Voice Transmission said.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at the private rooms on the second and third floor. He then nodded and said, "That's true. These ordinary Profound Level Martial Skills are not important to them at all. However, there are too many people in the Cultivation World. On the contrary, these ordinary Profound Level Martial Skills are what they need the most, just like the Heavenly Spirit Wine and the Energy Recovery Pill."
"The eighth item is a Spiritual Liquid refined by a Level Five Alchemist. It's called the Qing Xuan Spiritual Liquid. This Spiritual Liquid is equivalent to a Level Five Pill. It can help a Golden Core Stage expert improve his cultivation by a lot! The starting price is 500,000 high-grade crystals. The increment is no less than 100,000. "Angie smiled faintly and introduced the effect of the Qing Xuan Spiritual Liquid.
"Xiao Chen, did you hear that? It can help a Golden Core Stage expert improve his cultivation! If you bid for it, you have the hope of breaking through to the Late-stage of the Golden Core Stage! Hurry up and bid! "The Ancient White Tiger immediately sent a voice transmission excitedly.
"I'll pay 600,000." At this time, a faint voice came from a private room on the second floor.
As the voice in the private room fell, another voice came from another private room, "700,000."
"800,000." One by one, the private rooms began to bid. The cultivators in the hall were stunned. They did not have so many high-grade crystals. They could only envy and hate in their hearts.
"I'll pay 1,000,000 high-grade crystals!" Xiao Chen raised his hand and said lightly. At this moment, the people in the hall thought that they had misheard. Why didn't the voice come from the private room? It actually came from the hall.
