Crimson Lunar City, the closest city to the Pill King Valley.
The Heavenly Mountain Country was indeed a big country. Even a random city here was bigger than the main city of Xia.
The city walls were red in color, and were tens of meters higher than the Sword Lake Manor's Sword Forge City. Gazing from afar, the city looked majestic and magnificent.
After paying the entrance fee, Lin Xuan walked in.
The architecture of the city was different from that of Xia. The buildings were larger and grander.
Not only that, the passersby were all at the Spirit Sea Realm. Even the stall owners were at the Body Refinement Realm.
This was something unimaginable in Xia.
After ordering two delicious buns, Lin Xuan ate as he walked.
The snow-white monkey also jumped out when it smelled the delicious aroma. Lin Xuan bought a stick of candied haws for it, and the little monkey happily ate it.
Usually, tea houses and restaurants were popular places for cultivators to stay. News would often spread from there.
Lin Xuan walked into a very lively restaurant and blended into the crowd to gather information.
Most of the cultivators were chatting about all sorts of things, and most of them were about the Pill King Tournament.
"Medicine Emperor Courtyard, Pill Emperor Hall?" Lin Xuan rubbed his chin. He was very familiar with these two names.
Previously on the black ship, the red-robed girl was from the Medicine Emperor Courtyard. Hence, Lin Xuan didn't have a good impression of the Medicine Emperor Courtyard.
As for the relationship between the Pill Emperor Hall and the Pill King Valley, Lin Xuan was very curious.
"This big brother, when I first came to Heavenly Mountain Country, I passed by a valley called Pill King Valley. May I know what relationship it has with the Pill Emperor Hall?"
"One look and I can tell you're new here." These burly men were all very forthright, they pulled Lin Xuan aside and explained. "The Pill King Valley's Valley Lord is the Pill Emperor Hall's First Hall Lord. However, the First Hall Lord's temper isn't very good, he usually stays in the Pill Emperor Valley and doesn't come out."
"You shouldn't go in either. I heard that those who go in can't come out."
"Now, even if you want to go in, you can't. I heard that the Pill King Valley is closed, and no one knows when it will open again."
"I guess it must be because of the Pill King Tournament."
"Pill King Tournament?" Lin Xuan was curious. What kind of tournament was that?
"This is a grand occasion for the Heavenly Mountain Empire. Every ten years, the Pill King Competition is held to select the strongest alchemist. This is a supreme honor!"
The group of burly men looked very excited, as if they were the ones who got the title of Pill King.
"Little brother, you don't know, but just imagining this kind of scene makes me excited. I saw it once ten years ago, and it was amazing! "
"When will the Pill King Tournament begin?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Very soon, about two months. During this time, you must stay here!"
When Lin Xuan received the news, he contemplated in his heart. If Di Que was truly the Pill Emperor Hall's First Hall Lord, there was no way he would miss out on such an important event.
In other words, Pill King Valley would open in at most two months.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan felt relieved.
After all, Di Que had helped him once. If he couldn't cure Di Que's leg, he would definitely regret it. This would be very detrimental to his cultivation!
Just as Lin Xuan was distracted, the surrounding burly men talked about the Pill King Tournament to the auction.
After listening for a while, Lin Xuan learned that there would be an auction three days later.
"Just in time to replenish my supplies. There's not much spirit wine left. Buy some spirit herbs and try your luck to see if you can find any treasures." Lord Alcohol said.
"Alright." Lin Xuan agreed. He left the restaurant and walked towards the spirit herbs shop.
He was now very rich. Ordinary Harmonious Spirit Realm warriors couldn't compare to him.
After buying some spirit herbs, Lin Xuan handed them to Lord Alcohol for him to refine spirit wine. Of course, Lin Xuan would also refine a portion of it.
He had never neglected his inscription practice, alchemy, and other matters. Now, his level was not much worse than the three ordinary inscription masters.
After leaving the spirit herbs shop, he walked towards the weapon shop.
During the clan meeting, his Autumn Scar Sword was broken. Now that his strength had increased, he wanted a higher grade sword.
Moreover, he wanted to repair his black cloak and turn it into a true Spirit Rank Artifact.
However, this matter not only required precious materials, but also a blacksmith master. Otherwise, it would be impossible to repair his cloak.
After visiting a few shops, Lin Xuan didn't find anything.
He could only place his hopes on the auction.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
In Crimson Lunar City, the news of the auction had already spread. It was said that this time, not only the warriors of Crimson Lunar City, but also the warriors of the nearby cities would come.
In front of the auction, there was a hubbub of voices. It was very lively.
Lin Xuan walked in with a trace of hope.
Two days ago, he came to the auction once. He took out some of the Profound Rank weapons and martial arts that he didn't use to auction.
Because there were many of them, he was given the status of a VIP.
With the VIP token, he was given a small private room with the number twenty-five. It could be said that he had escaped from the poor masses.
However, compared to those large private rooms and luxurious ones, his room was still pathetically small.
However, the private room had its own unique benefits. It could prevent others from looking in, and it was much safer.
Sitting in a comfortable chair, Lin Xuan waited for the auction to begin.
The fan-shaped auction stage was dozens of meters wide. On top of it, there was a one meter tall crystal table for placing items.
"Everyone, without further ado, the first item is a Low Level Spirit Rank Martial Art, Wind and Cloud Eighteen Kicks." A beautiful lady said with a delicate voice. In her hand, there was a jade strip.
"This Wind and Cloud Eighteen Kicks was obtained from an ancient ruin. Its power is three times stronger than a normal Mid Level Spirit Rank Martial Art."
"Moreover, martial arts are different from other martial arts. If one person buys it, it will benefit the whole family. I hope everyone will consider it carefully."
The purple-robed beauty paused for a moment and then said, "The auction will begin now. The starting price is three thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones. Each increment must be no less than one hundred Mid Level Spirit Stones."
Hearing the purple-robed beauty's voice, Lin Xuan took a deep breath. He still remembered that the last time he participated in the auction, the items that were auctioned were only worth tens of thousands of Low Level Spirit Stones.
But now, in just one year, he was participating in an auction that required Mid Level Spirit Stones.
One should know that Mid Level Spirit Stones were far more valuable than Low Level Spirit Stones.
Lin Xuan had a few million Low Level Spirit Stones, but he could only exchange them for fifty thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones. In addition to the thirty thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones he already had, he only had eighty thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones.
The items that he auctioned were only worth thirty thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones.
This amount of wealth might seem small, but it was far more than some Harmonious Spirit Realm warriors.
After the purple-robed beauty finished speaking, the entire auction house became lively. After all, Earth Level Spirit Rank Martial Arts were not cabbages. Moreover, it was something that was obtained from an ancient ruin.
The price quickly soared to five thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones.
"Six thousand Mid Level Spirit Stones!" A voice came from the room next to Lin Xuan's.
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. He seemed to have heard this voice before. In the next moment, he remembered a person.
