Through Qi Peng's explanation, Luo Ping understood the situation in detail. Qi Peng's group of four had no clue at all, which made them very anxious. However, half a year ago, perhaps because the Immortal Treasure Tower's auction was about to begin, many experts in the Immortal Treasure Tower rushed back to the Immortal Treasure City.
Qi Peng's group of four unintentionally heard an elder of the Immortal Treasure Tower say that they had just returned from the extreme south. If not for the importance of this auction and the need for many elders to return to the Immortal Treasure City to maintain order, he would still be waiting at the Flaming Sky Mountain.
Although Qi Peng didn't hear what the elder said about the 'rabbit', he guessed that it might be the person Luo Ping was looking for.
Therefore, Qi Peng's group of four immediately rushed to the extreme south. After arriving at the southernmost Immortal City through teleportation, they could only rely on flying. After flying for more than two months, they approached the periphery of the Flaming Sky Mountain.
After arriving there, Qi Peng's group of four saw many members of the Immortal Treasure Tower guarding the periphery of the Flaming Sky Mountain from afar. When these people saw Qi Peng's group of four appear, they immediately stopped them.
Fortunately, Qi Peng's group of four had already thought of a countermeasure. They lied that they were here to look for refining materials, which did not arouse the suspicion of the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower. However, the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower asked them to search quickly and leave as soon as possible.
Therefore, Qi Peng took the opportunity to ask what had happened. The member of the Immortal Treasure Tower only told Qi Peng's group of four that they were capturing a traitor of the Chamber of Commerce. This traitor had actually hidden inside the Flaming Sky Mountain, making it difficult for them to approach.
When Qi Peng heard this, he pretended to be shocked. He said that the traitor's means were so powerful that he could actually enter the depths of the Flaming Sky Mountain without fear of the flames.
That member of the Immortal Treasure Tower explained. That traitor had extremely high attainments in the art of smithing, and his control of flames had reached perfection. That was why he was able to resist the flames of the Flame Mountain. They had been waiting here for more than 10,000 years.
Although Qi Peng did not have the chance to continue asking, from the fact that he was proficient in the art of refining and had waited for more than ten thousand years, they could already confirm that the person hiding in the depths of the Flame Heavenly Mountain was the person Luo Ping was looking for.
Therefore, the four of them pretended to search for a while before leaving the Flame Heavenly Mountain and returning to Shui 'an City. Just as they were about to send a message to Luo Ping, Luo Ping had already arrived.
Although Qi Peng had only obtained two clues, Luo Ping was certain that the person in the Flame Sky Mountain was Yuan Tianxing.
Yuan Tianxing was proficient in the Four Arts, so his control over the flames was naturally superb. It wouldn't be a problem for him to enter a certain distance. That way, he would be able to shake off the experts of the Immortal Treasure Tower.
Luo Ping guessed that this was the reason why Yuan Tianxing had fled to the Flame Heavenly Mountain. Although the surroundings of the Flame Heavenly Mountain were guarded by the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower and Yuan Tianxing had no chance to leave, Luo Ping was relieved as long as he was safe.
"With Master's attainments in the Four Arts, he can cultivate the art of controlling flames in the Flame Heavenly Mountain. I guess he won't be in a hurry to leave. After all, such a good place to cultivate and hide is not easy to find."
"It's fine as long as Master is safe. At least now that we know where he is hiding, I believe he won't be in danger for a long time."
"The auction of the Immortal Treasure Tower is about to begin. I'd better hurry to Immortal Treasure City."
After thinking for a while, Luo Ping rewarded Qi Peng's group of four with some Immortal Soul Stones and left the inn, heading to the teleportation point of Shui 'an City.
"It's actually Earth-Grade Immortal Soul Stones. Young Master is really generous."
"Initially, I thought we would lose our freedom and cultivation resources after being controlled by someone else. I didn't expect Young Master to reward us with Earth-Grade Immortal Soul Stones for our cultivation."
"I suddenly feel that it feels good to be controlled."
Fu Cancan, the Third Junior Brother, said excitedly as he looked at the Earth-Grade Immortal Soul Stone in his hand.
The other three were also holding Earth-Grade Immortal Soul Stones in their hands. Upon hearing Fu Cancan's words, all three of them nodded in agreement.
"It seems like we have really met a Talent Scout. Young Master truly has a discerning eye. That's why he chose to control us. Otherwise, I reckon he would have already killed us."
"Sigh … Young Master is not only strong, but he's also very handsome. I wonder if I'll have a chance … It seems like I'll have to look for an opportunity to lose some weight and get a makeover."
Gui Qin, the Fourth Junior Sister, said with a smitten expression on her face.
"Forget it, Fourth Junior Sister. With your looks, you won't be able to get Young Master's attention no matter how much you try. You should just give up."
"Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to the sect to cultivate. With this Earth-Grade Immortal Soul Stone, I'll definitely be able to improve my cultivation base."
Qi Peng did not hold back when he spoke to his Fourth Junior Sister. Then, he left the inn and returned to the Ice Stream Sect to cultivate. Upon seeing this, the other three quickly returned as well.
…
In the Immortal Treasure City, Luo Ping contacted Kong Haotian and the others as soon as he came out of the teleportation point.
When Kong Haotian and the others appeared, Luo Ping noticed a familiar figure beside them.
"Senior Huang!"
Luo Ping said.
"Little Friend Luo, we meet again. It seems like we're fated to meet."
Elder Huang Mang said.
"I think so too. By the way, Senior Huang must be here to participate in the Immortal Treasure Tower's auction."
Luo Ping said. After all, the cultivators who came to the Immortal Treasure City were here for the auction.
"That's right. I've been here for a few days. When I saw Little Friend Kong and the others, I guessed that Little Friend Luo might be here as well. In order to prevent anyone from snatching their entrance cards, I let them stay in my inn. I've already booked a room for you, so you don't have to worry about your accommodation."
Elder Huang Mang said.
"Thank you so much, Senior Huang!"
Luo Ping quickly expressed his gratitude.
Initially, they were worried that they would be robbed of their entrance cards when they arrived at the Immortal Treasure City. However, with Elder Huang Mang's protection, there would be no problem.
Therefore, after they returned to the inn, they waited patiently for the Immortal Treasure Tower's auction to begin. Although there were many cases of people snatching entrance cards in the Immortal Treasure City, it did not affect them at all.
After nearly two months, it was time for the auction to begin. The cultivators in the Immortal Treasure City rushed to the auction venue of the Immortal Treasure Tower.
In the center of the Immortal Treasure City, there was a huge tower. It was built in imitation of the Immortal Treasure Tower's treasure, the Immortal Treasure Tower. A large number of formations were arranged in it, and its offensive and defensive power was very strong.
When Luo Ping and the others arrived at the tower, there were already many cultivators gathered there. They were quickly checked by the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower and entered the tower.
Luo Ping and the others also took out their entrance cards in order to be checked and then entered the Immortal Treasure Tower. Feng Yiming, Ying Li, and Tan Xian did not have entrance cards, so they stayed in the inn.
Now, only Luo Ping, Kong Haotian, Lu Yu, Elder Huang Mang, and two outstanding disciples of the Huang Family had entered the tower.
After the six of them entered the tower, the space suddenly became spacious, just like the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce's Dragon Gate. It was boundless and had a wide range.
However, in the spacious space, there was a tower in the same shape as the one outside. The cultivators all flew into the tower.
Luo Ping and the others also flew into the tower. Because they came late, they found that there were already thousands of cultivators inside.
Luo Ping found some familiar figures among these cultivators. Some were the elders of the various families that he had met in Flowing Moon City, and some were the outstanding disciples of various sects that entered the secret base of the Han Yan Chamber of Commerce together.
"It seems that the Immortal Treasure Tower's strength is not the strongest among the four chambers of commerce, but the attraction of the auction is definitely the strongest."
"It's not surprising. After all, the Immortal Treasure Tower has the most Immortal Masters of each level. Even the number of top Immortal Masters is more than the sum of the other three chambers of commerce."
"Because of this, half of the items that the Immortal Treasure Tower auctions are refined by their own chamber of commerce. They don't need a lot of commission, so the auction price is naturally relatively low, which can attract more cultivators."
Seeing these familiar faces, Luo Ping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Among the four chambers of commerce, the Immortal Treasure Tower had the most Immortal Masters. They even had four top Immortal Masters, while the other three chambers of commerce only had one top Immortal Master each.
Under such circumstances, the Immortal Treasure Tower's attainment and level in the four auxiliary techniques, as well as the refining efficiency, naturally surpassed the other three chambers of commerce.
Therefore, every time the Immortal Treasure Tower held an auction, a large number of auction items were refined by the chamber of commerce. The prices were relatively low, which attracted a large number of bidders.
Although the experts and outstanding disciples of the first-grade families had a lot of Immortal Soul Stones, they weren't in a special situation like Luo Ping. Naturally, they wouldn't fight for the admission cards of several chambers of commerce at the same time. Therefore, they all fought for the admission cards of the Immortal Treasure Tower.
Because of this, Luo Ping was able to see many familiar faces this time. They continued to wait with the thousands of people because not everyone had arrived yet.
After a quarter of an hour, the elders of the Immortal Treasure Tower appeared in the tower. Everyone knew that the auction was about to begin. At this time, the number of cultivators in the tower had reached nearly ten thousand, which was a few thousand more than the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce.
The elders of the Immortal Treasure Tower quickly dispersed, leaving only one elder to preside over the auction. Soon, the auction began. The auction items descended from the top of the tower, and everyone began to compete fiercely.
This time, Luo Ping didn't participate in the auction. After all, when he was in the Dragon Gate Chamber of Commerce, the situation was special. Moreover, he had a VIP black card, so he had to fight for a large number of auction items.
The reason why he fought for the admission cards of the four chambers of commerce was to bid for Immortal Elixirs of Tier Eight and above. Now, he was waiting. As long as an Immortal Elixir of Tier Eight and above appeared, he wouldn't hesitate to bid for it. As for other treasures, he wouldn't even consider it. After all, he didn't lack cultivation techniques or Immortal Tools. He wanted to keep his Immortal Soul Stones, so he must bid for Immortal Elixirs of Tier Eight and above.
