Today's Yan City was clearly even more lively than before. The noise of people was like the sound of gongs and drums. There was a sea of people in the sky and on the ground. The crowded human tide on the ground of the city was just like a group of ants.
An increasing number of Ban Di experts gathered in the sky above Yan City. They appeared like a dense dark cloud that covered the sky above Yan City, blocking over half of the sunlight that was originally shining in the sky.
Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian did not stop after leaving their residence. The two of them stepped through the air. Their bodies moved and flew towards the auction house in the middle of the city.
With the incident that had occurred in the Thousand Medicinal House two days ago, there were quite a number of people in Yan City who were familiar with Xiao Yan's face. Hence, Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian had only walked for less than a thousand feet when quite a number of people in the sky and on the ground discovered their existence.
Immediately, quite a number of people threw respectful gazes towards Xiao Yan. Some of the nearby Ban Di experts hurriedly bowed and cupped their hands to Xiao Yan with a humble smile.
Xiao Yan also smiled and returned the greeting. At the same time, he involuntarily clicked his tongue in his heart.
From what he had seen today, it was easy to see the difference in ability.
When he was only a rank two alchemist, even though he would receive all sorts of astonished gazes when he was seen by others, it was merely this and nothing more. The number of people behind him that wanted to kill him was even more innumerable. So long as a Quasi Emperor expert saw him, all of them would reveal a greedy expression that was like a wolf or a tiger.
However, at this moment, when he was a rank three alchemist, not only would Ban Di experts be respectful to him, but even a genuine elite Dou Di, a frightening person with great strength, would be extremely courteous to him. It must be said that the gap between them paled in comparison!
"Ugh …"
Xiao Yan involuntarily sighed in his heart. Although the current Xiao Yan appeared to be extremely glorious on the surface, only he knew that he was merely relying on Gu You's strength.
In a short moment, Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian, who was following closely behind, had already arrived in front of a huge ring-shaped ancient building.
The entire ancient building was like a huge ring lying on the ground. Inside the ancient building, there was a huge open-air stone platform. At the edge of the stone platform, there were layers of platforms that spread out like stairs. Further up the platform, there were cubicles that were supported by stone pillars. Looking down from above, the first thing that came into view were those cubicles.
This auction house was actually an open-air auction house!
One had to know that in order to ensure that no one would snatch the auction items and escape, the auction house would usually be built in a heavily guarded room. In this way, under the premise of ensuring that no one would cause trouble, it would also serve as a deterrent to those who came to participate in the auction.
However, it was the first time that Xiao Yan had seen an auction house like the one that had appeared in front of him since he had started training.
"Tsk tsk …"
Xiao Yan gently shook his head. His mouth involuntarily clicked its tongue and sighed. Even if there was an elite Dou Di present, this auction house was really a little too bold and wild. If there was really an expert who dared to cause trouble in the auction house, even an elite Dou Di present might not be able to protect the auction items!
Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Xiao Yan. He was naturally too lazy to think too much about it. He sighed in his heart and led Murong Qianqian. Their bodies moved and they flew down to the auction house below.
Although the flow of people in Yan City today was many times more than usual, there was quite a large area around the auction house. Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian landed in this area.
At a glance, one could see an enormous doorway in this area. This was the entrance to the auction house.
At this moment, there were quite a number of people lined up around Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian. They were orderly following the order to enter the auction house.
All of these people were elite Half Emperors.
In this place, even the elite Half Emperors, who were usually respected in front of others, could only line up like ordinary people to enter the auction house. It must be said that the foundation of this auction house could really be described as terrifying!
Murong Qianqian involuntarily knit her brows when she saw that there was a long line of nearly a hundred people in front of her. Her pretty eyes ruthlessly glared at Xiao Yan by the side as she angrily said:
"It's all your fault. I told you to come earlier. Now that the line is so long, won't we have to wait until the sky turns dark before we can enter?"
Xiao Yan was slightly startled. He involuntarily laughed bitterly in his heart. It seemed that he was the one who wanted to participate in the auction the most between the two of them. Why was it that Murong Qianqian was actually even more anxious than him when the auction was about to begin?
Xiao Yan did not think too much about the young girl's thoughts. As for guessing, that was even more out of the question.
Of course, Xiao Yan did not know that the young girl was not anxious to participate in the auction. Merely, the thing that Xiao Yan wanted to obtain was inside. In order to prevent Xiao Yan from regretfully missing out on it, she was so anxious.
From the beginning to the end, the young girl had never thought about whether she wanted to participate in the auction or not. The only person she thought about was Xiao Yan before her. It was all because there was something that he wanted to find here.
Perhaps that thing was not important to the young girl. However, the young girl understood in her heart that that thing was extremely important to Xiao Yan. This was the reason why Murong Qianqian was even more anxious than Xiao Yan to enter the auction house.
"Haha, alright. Don't worry. Didn't I say that someone will come to pick us up? Just wait and see."
Xiao Yan softly chuckled in response to Murong Qianqian's words. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. His hands crossed over his chest as he slowly lifted his pitch-black eyes and looked towards the tall and large ancient building in front of him. The depths of his eyes faintly flickered. Right above the entrance of the ancient building, on the thick and sturdy stone wall, there was a flamboyant and flamboyant 'Tian' word carved on it.
After a few breaths, the smile at the corners of Xiao Yan's mouth grew even wider. Soon after, he turned his head and smiled towards Murong Qianqian.
"It's here."
As his voice sounded, the expression on Murong Qianqian's pretty face involuntarily changed slightly. A curious expression surfaced on her face. She lifted her beautiful eyes and swept them all around. Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse and aged voice rang out from the empty space.
"Haha, grandmaster, the old me is Fang Qian. I am the manager of the Tianyun Auction House. I have received a request from a few sirs and have come to invite grandmaster to enter."
At the same time this aged voice was emitted, the empty space in front of Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian suddenly became distorted. Immediately, a white-haired old man with an amiable face appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Murong Qianqian.
The old man appeared and immediately cupped his hands respectfully to Xiao Yan. His face was filled with a smile as he spoke to Xiao Yan.
"Elder is too courteous. This younger generation does not dare to call themselves grandmaster."
Hearing the old man's words, Xiao Yan did not dare to slight him. From the way this old man had suddenly appeared, he was without a doubt an elite Dou Di. In the face of such a person, Xiao Yan still adopted the most respectful attitude. After all, if he were to be honest, he was ultimately only a rank two alchemist. Making things convenient for others was also making things convenient for oneself. Perhaps, this would be of some help to Xiao Yan if they were to be respectful to each other.
"Haha, grandmaster is too humble. However, since this is the case, we should invite grandmaster to enter the auction house first. Those few people have already prepared a private room for grandmaster."
Fang Qian's old eyes carried some admiration as he looked at Xiao Yan in front of him. Fang Qian involuntarily felt a shock in his heart. The black-robed young man in front of him was not only young and promising, but his character was also neither arrogant nor impatient. This kind of thing was something that the old man had never seen from other members of the younger generation. Just from this point alone, the old man's favorable impression of Xiao Yan swiftly rose by quite a lot.
"Alright, I have indeed come for the auction. However, I will have to trouble elder to help me decline the private room that those few people have reserved for me. This younger generation has never liked to receive favors from others. This younger generation can handle such a small matter by myself."
Xiao Yan laughed softly. His tone was extremely firm as he refuted the so-called private room.
Hearing this, a glint involuntarily flashed across Fang Qian's old eyes. This kind of meticulous character in addition to this frightening training talent meant that this person would definitely be extraordinary in the future!
The old man and the young man exchanged a few polite words in succession. Murong Qianqian, who was behind Xiao Yan, had a somewhat wooden expression on her pretty face as she was stunned on the spot. She did not expect that there would actually be someone who would come to receive Xiao Yan.
"Haha, alright, don't just stand there. Let's go. Aren't you anxious to enter? I will bring you in now."
