Shuyang City, Tianyang City, and Liyang City were collectively known as the Three Sun Cities under the Xiao clan. Among them, Liyang City was the most prosperous. The reason for this was that the number one clan under the Xiao clan, the Zhao clan, was in charge of it, followed by Shuyang City.
Shuyang City had an auction house set up for the Xiao clan. At the same time, it was also the main source of Shuyang City's economy.
Across the entire continent, the establishment of an auction house would attract the attention of tens of thousands of clans. This was because in this place, as long as one possessed sufficient resources, one could bid for anything without any reservations and would not attract any trouble. Of course, this was merely common knowledge under normal circumstances. After all, in front of absolute strength, any obstruction would lose its effectiveness.
Shuyang City was located to the east of Xiao City and was thousands of miles away. Fortunately, due to the teleportation formation, Xiao Yan's group did not spend too much time and arrived at this place on the same day.
After the golden light disappeared, a couple of human figures appeared within the enormous light array. Xiao Yan's group was within it.
The eyelids of Xiao Yan's group twitched gently when they sensed the light that covered their bodies disappear. Immediately, they slowly opened their eyes. Their eyes revealed a curious expression as they observed their surroundings. Within a short couple of breaths, the few of them were surprised to discover that they were not in the city. Instead, they were on an open-air stone platform outside of Shuyang City.
"This teleportation formation is actually built outside of the city?"
Xiao Yan, who had experienced many teleportation formations, knew that all of them were located in the central area of the city. It could be said to be the most important economic hub of a city. However, today, a teleportation formation was actually built outside of Shuyang City. This was really surprising.
"Let's go. Let's enter the city first."
Xiao Yan only realized that there were only the three of them left on the teleportation formation when he sensed the numerous strange gazes that were shot over from a short distance away. Only then did he recover his senses and hurriedly led the other two beside him to follow the crowd and hurry over.
Along the way, the three of them swept their gazes over the outline of the huge city not far away. All of them involuntarily raised their eyebrows. This city in front of them seemed to have brought them more than one surprise.
Different from the cities he had seen in the past, the city gate of Shuyang City in front of him was actually built at the corner of the city wall. The high wall was like a giant beast that could devour people. The black boulders that extended from the wall were deliberately arranged to form the words "Shuyang City". Just from this alone, one could see that this city was really unique and unique.
The three of them followed the pedestrians and walked out of the somewhat dark city gate tunnel. Immediately, glaring sunlight scattered down from the sky. A bustling noise poured into Xiao Yan's ears from all directions like a demonic sound, causing Xiao Yan to frown slightly.
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and slowly lifted his head. Looking at the huge inner city and the crowded streets in front of him, Xiao Yan could not help but frown and exclaim in admiration. After all, it was one of the top three cities under the Xiao Clan. The scale of this Shuyang City was not inferior to the Donghua City of the Southern Region that he had seen previously. It could even be said that it was even larger.
"Where should we go next?"
Bai Hua's gaze swept all around. Her eyes paused for a moment on the strange towering shadow at the end of the street as she softly asked.
Xiao Yan muttered to himself for a moment. His gaze also paused on the shadow. Soon after, he said,
"Let's first go to a few of the larger medicinal ingredient stores in the city to take a look. Since there is an auction here, there should be quite a number of rare medicinal ingredients circulating. If we are lucky, we might be able to find the Sumeru Grass there."
Bai Hua nodded slightly. Lian 'er, who was by her side, could not help but glance around. Her clear and beautiful eyes were filled with curiosity. At the same time, her pure and tender face also attracted the attention of quite a number of people in the surroundings. Numerous drooling gazes involuntarily landed on the delicate figure of the young lady.
"Buzz …"
With regards to this, Xiao Yan merely had a thought in his mind. An invisible pressure immediately spread out from his body. The powerful aura immediately caused the surrounding crowd to recover their senses. After which, they hurriedly spread out. The area around the three of them became much more spacious.
"Let's go."
With Xiao Yan in front, Bai Hua pulled the curious Lian 'er with one hand. The three of them slowly walked forward. The passersby in front of them, who had witnessed Xiao Yan's terror, also hurriedly made way. The group of them freely shuttled through the crowd and headed towards the strange shadow at the end of their sight.
The three of them slowly shuttled through the enormous Shuyang City. Their gazes occasionally swept across the shops on both sides of the street. Along the way, they scanned and probed. However, Xiao Yan did not see any medicinal store that could catch his attention. However, the increasingly congested human traffic around them allowed them to feel the liveliness of Shuyang City.
Although they did not obtain any results along the way, Xiao Yan did not feel anxious because of this. The Meru Grass was an extremely precious medicinal ingredient. Even the Xiao clan's collection did not have many of them. It was somewhat wishful thinking to think that it would be so easy to find one in Shuyang City.
Along the way, the vision in front of Xiao Yan's group gradually became clearer. Only then did they clearly see that the strange shadow at the end of their sight was a huge stone tower under the sunlight. From the looks of it, it was actually exactly the same as the strange stone tower that Xiao Yan had seen in the Xiao clan. Based on Xiao Yan's estimation, the location of this stone tower should be the center of Shuyang City.
At the same time, there was a towering wall surrounding the stone tower. From the looks of it, there was no doubt that this was the only auction house in the city.
A moment later, the footsteps of the three of them finally came to a stop in front of an extremely large pavilion.
With astonishment in his eyes, Xiao Yan could not help but slightly open his mouth as he stared at the pavilion in front of him. Soon after, he sneered. He did not expect to see a branch of the Xiao clan in the Middle Region.
Yunyin Pavilion.
"This fellow, I thought that his branch was only at the border of the continent. I did not expect that he would also be involved in the Middle Region."
With a grin, Xiao Yan could not help but praise Luo Jin's methods. That fellow would always do things that ordinary people would not be able to do. Extending his clan's influence under the feet of the three great clans was something that even the three great clans would not dare to do. After all, if they were discovered by the Xiao clan, it was likely that they would be wiped out.
Standing in front of the Yunyin Pavilion, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. After which, he directly led the Bai Hua duo into the pavilion. Compared to other people, he felt an exceptionally warm feeling when he entered this place. At the very least, he believed that the Yunyin Pavilion would not be his enemy.
After entering the Yunyin Pavilion, the noise from the outside world immediately weakened significantly. A rich medicinal fragrance that was mixed with countless kinds of medicinal ingredients pounced on their faces. The medicinal fragrance was so strong that it caused the three of them to involuntarily sneeze.
Xiao Yan rubbed his nose. When he turned his gaze around, a human figure swiftly came forward from the side and a laughter followed.
"Dear guests, may I know what you require? We have Qi Methods, Dou Techniques, medicinal pills, medicinal ingredients and even formation plates here. I believe that we should be able to satisfy your needs."
After these words sounded, an old man wearing golden robes appeared in front of Xiao Yan. He had a warm smile on his face as he looked at the former, who was currently sizing him up.
Previously, when Xiao Yan's group entered the pavilion, the old man had already noticed them. When he used his Spiritual Strength to observe them, he was even more surprised to discover that even with his rank 5 Spiritual Strength, he was actually unable to see through the depths of this young man. Immediately, there was an additional respect in his eyes when he faced Xiao Yan.
"A rank 5 formation master huh. It is indeed worthy of being the work of the Yunyin Pavilion."
Seeing the old man's attire, Xiao Yan could not help but quietly say. Immediately, he did not speak any nonsense and smiled at the old man. With a twist of his wrist, he took out a white jade fan from his Storage Ring and handed it to the old man.
The latter smiled as he received the white-jade fan. His gaze swept over it and the expression on his old face suddenly changed. His mouth involuntarily inhaled a breath of air as he hurriedly and carefully observed the jade fan in his hand. Only after a couple of breaths did he carefully return it to Xiao Yan's hand. He cupped his hands together in a respectful manner and said,
"So it is Mister Xiao Yan. May I know what you need the old man to do?"
Hearing the old man actually call out his name, Xiao Yan could not help but feel a little surprised. After which, he cupped his hands together and said with a smile,
"Elder is too polite. I am here to find a medicinal ingredient called the Sumeru Grass. May I know if you have it?"
"Sumeru Grass?"
When Xiao Yan said these words, the old man's expression immediately paused. He hesitated for a moment but still nodded heavily and said,
"Yes!"
