Fenghua City was a cultivation city located in the depths of the mountains five hundred miles south of the Chiyang Hills. It was larger than an ordinary market and was an important stronghold in the south of Chiyang School. The guardian of Fenghua City was also a Jin Dan cultivator from Chiyang School, but he belonged to Lie Yanzi's faction, so Tang Lin rarely dealt with him in the Discipline Hall. But this time, it was for Yi Tian, so he couldn't refuse, so he led Yi Tian and Guan Mingyi to the city.
Before leaving, Yi Tian also told Huang Ziang to try not to disclose his matter, and to inform Wu Xing and Master Hua Cheng later. This time, after returning from Fenghua City, he might need to rent the first refining room in the Artifact Hall, so he asked Huang Ziang to help prepare in advance. Also, don't always call him Eldest Apprentice Brother, it sounds awkward.
Huang Ziang smiled foolishly and hurried back, telling Yi Tian to contact him directly when he found the materials.
The three people flew for less than two days and saw Fenghua City. Before entering the city, Yi Tian proposed to find a hidden place for everyone to change their clothes.
Guan Mingyi looked at Yi Tian with a puzzled face and asked, "Junior Apprentice Brother Yi, why do you need to do this?"
Seeing Yi Tian smile and not say anything, Tang Lin cleverly explained, "Senior Apprentice Brother Yi is afraid that it will be inconvenient to deal with some things while wearing the sect's clothes." Then he smiled at Yi Tian knowingly.
From the storage bracelet, Yi Tian took out three sets of ordinary cultivator's clothes and three human skin masks and gave them to the two, then said, "These things can block the Divine Sense of Jin Dan cultivators, each of you can choose one."
After changing their clothes, the three people could also suppress their cultivation and disguise themselves as three early stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to Fenghua City for the first time. After paying ten spirit stones as the entrance fee, they sneaked into Fenghua City.
There were still more than ten days before the auction. Yi Tian asked Tang Lin to arrange for the entrance of the auction, try to find a private room, and find a list of items to be auctioned.
He and Guan Mingyi, on the other hand, found a shop where they could rest. They spent 60 spirit stones to rent three Mortal rooms for half a month. This way, they wouldn't have to hang around outside to avoid unnecessary trouble. All they had to do was wait for the auction to start.
Tang Lin lived up to his reputation as a seasoned veteran. In less than half a day, he managed to secure a private room for the auction and even got a list of items. However, the last three auction items were not clearly marked. Usually, the auction house would leave a suspense for the public, so they could only be seen at the scene.
After Tang Lin came back and relayed the information to the two of them, Yi Tian looked at the list and asked, "Can I add another item to the auction now?" After receiving Tang Lin's confirmation, Yi Tian took out a foot-long awl from his storage bracelet and gave it to Tang Lin. He told him to take it to the auction house and add it to the list of items to be auctioned.
This was originally Xie Chuanxiong's magic tool. After it fell into Yi Tian's hands, he never had a chance to get rid of it. During his closed-door cultivation, Yi Tian took some time to organize the things in his storage bracelet. The important things were all placed in the Inscription of Flame Ring. The magic tools and spirit tools in the storage bracelet were all dealt with accordingly.
The awl's quality was not bad. After adding some materials, Yi Tian directly refined it into a high-grade level-4 spirit tool. Even Tang Lin's eyes turned red when he received the awl. The starting price of this item was 8,000 spirit stones. Seeing him like this, Yi Tian took out a high-grade level-4 spirit sword and gave it to Tang Lin. Only then did he send him away.
After the items were registered, Tang Lin took back the ticket number. The three of them stayed in the room and meditated, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.
More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The auction was held at noon. Tang Lin brought Yi Tian and Guan Mingyi to the venue two hours earlier and entered a private room on the second floor. In order to avoid being noticed, there were only ten private rooms in the entire auction hall. Tang Lin specifically chose the last private room. After the three of them entered, they waited for the auction to begin.
At noon, people came in one after another, filling the entire auction hall. Yi Tian looked down from the room. The entire venue was not big. It could only accommodate two to three hundred cultivators.
According to Tang Lin, this was already considered a large-scale auction in Fenghua City. This place was located in the south of Dong Ao, so there were not as many cultivators as in Fanxing City, which was located in the central region of Dong Ao. However, due to its unique geographical location, the items produced were also unique. Therefore, the disciples of the three sects and some rogue cultivators from aristocratic families would also choose to come here to try their luck.
The auction was backed by the Tianlan Chamber of Commerce in Zhongzhou. The host was also sent by them. Sitting in his room, Yi Tian looked at the stage and saw that the auction was about to begin. The auctioneer was also a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. He looked to be in his forties and was dressed like a shopkeeper.
Because it was a mixed auction, both Foundation Establishment and Qi Condensation cultivators could bid. Buying and selling depended on the price. Moreover, with the endorsement of the Chiyang School, there would usually be no killing or robbery.
After the auction began, the atmosphere in the venue became lively. At first, the items being auctioned were mainly ore materials and ammunition. Even the third-grade materials were relatively rare and suitable for high-level Qi Condensation cultivators.
The spirit awl given to Tang Lin was arranged to be the last item on the list. When it appeared, the atmosphere in the venue became a little lively. Generally, in a place like Fenghua City, there were also fourth-grade spirit tools, but fourth-grade high-grade spirit tools were relatively rare.
After a while, the auctioneer said, "The next item is a fourth-grade top-grade spirit tool, the Sky Breaking Awl. The starting price is 9,000 yuan. Everyone may bid."
Yi Tian turned his head and looked at the spirit awl suspiciously. The spirit awl was placed in a jade box, and the lid was open for people to examine. Tang Lin smiled and said, "Yi Tian, the item you refined is not bad, but it lacks packaging and gimmicks. I came up with the name and the packaging. Ten days ago, when I registered in the auction hall, the appraiser directly asked for 10,000 yuan to buy it. However, I said that I would only auction and not sell, so they could only give up in the end. "
Yi Tian nodded repeatedly. He was still lacking in this aspect. If he casually took out a good item, people who didn't know the value of it would think that it was bought from a street stall. He had to meet an expert.
Generally, Qi Condensation cultivators wouldn't dare to touch a fourth-grade spirit tool. Some Foundation Establishment cultivators had already started bidding. After seeing that the bids were from several rooms, Yi Tian knew that it was suitable for cultivators of the same level as him. In the end, it was sold for 11,000 spirit stones. The main competition was between the cultivators in rooms three and nine. When the price reached 12,000 spirit stones, the person in room nine next to Yi Tian gave up. Perhaps he felt that it wasn't worth it.
The host of the auction changed to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Everyone knew that this was the last item to be auctioned. The first item to enter their eyes was a fourth-grade top-grade spirit herb, the Purple Nether Fragrant Orchid. The entire spirit herb was well-preserved in the jade box. Through the restriction on the jade box, Yi Tian saw that the Purple Nether Fragrant Orchid was still flickering with electric arcs. He nodded at Guan Mingyi, indicating that he should bid for it.
After the auctioneer in the middle shouted the starting price of 10,000 spirit stones, bids came from three or four rooms. The one in room three was the fiercest, but this time Yi Tian and the other two were here to look for opportunities, so they would definitely go all out when they saw it. Yi Tian stretched out two fingers and motioned to Tang Lin, and the latter directly called out the price of 20,000 spirit stones.
For a time, the rhythm of those bidders was interrupted, and the noise next to them stopped immediately. Even the one in room three who was the fiercest was silent. After the auctioneer smiled, he slowly counted three. After seeing that no one else bid, he directly called out 'sold'.
In the room, Tang Lin directly took out a storage bag and handed it over. After Yi Tian opened it, he glanced at it with his Divine Thought. There were about 30,000 spirit stones, so he looked up at Tang Lin. He received a voice transmission in his ear. These were the winnings from the gambling in the Vast Star City. Originally, Tang Lin and Gao Shou had planned to give it to Yi Tian, but they never found a chance to give it to him. This time, they could return the favor.
After opening the door, Yi Tian walked out directly and met someone in room nine next door. After the two looked at each other, they walked to the registration office of the auction house one after another.
After arriving there, two guys greeted them into two reception rooms. Yi Tian took out the sign in his hand, 8,000 spirit stones, and the ticket number of the Heaven breaking cone nail. The person who received Yi Tian was a cultivator in the intermediate stage of the Foundation Establishment stage. After looking at it, he understood it immediately. He didn't say much and directly wrote it down.
But Yi Tian's purpose was not this. The owner of this purple nether fragrant orchid was the main purpose of this trip, so Yi Tian proposed to meet the owner because he had something to ask face to face. The deacon of the auction house didn't say anything else. He just asked for an additional 500 spirit stones for the handling fee and arranged a private reception room for Yi Tian to wait inside.
In less than 10 minutes, the deacon came in with someone. Yi Tian, who was sitting on the seat, looked up. It was actually the person in room nine. The deacon came forward and received Yi Tian's ticket number and spirit stones in front of that person, then he took out the jade box with the elixir and handed it to Yi Tian. After the two sides confirmed that there was no mistake, the deacon left first. He even closed the door when he went out so that it was convenient for the two to talk.
After the two greeted each other, they sat down. Before Yi Tian spoke first, the person introduced himself first, "I'm Zhuge Wudi, a casual cultivator. May I know your name?"
"My name is Yi Tian Xing, and I'm a Weapon Refiner. I'm also a Loose Cultivator like you." Yi Tian Xing had used a fake name to get through the first time they met. Looking at Zhuge Wudi's attire, he was dressed like a Loose Cultivator, but his words and actions were very natural. He looked like a disciple from a large sect who had come out to travel. But since Zhuge Wudi didn't want to reveal anything, he didn't want to ask.
Then Yi Tian got straight to the point and asked, "I see that this Purple Nether Fragrant Orchid has some lightning residue. I don't know what attribute the guardian demonic beast is. If you have any demonic beast essence, I'm willing to buy it at a high price."
After Zhuge Wudi heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yi, you're exaggerating. The guardian demonic beast of this spirit herb is a level five lightning flood dragon. I was just lucky. When the lightning flood dragon was going through its tribulation, I didn't have the time to pick the spirit herb. That level five demonic beast is impossible for me to kill by myself. This time, I came to the Fenghua City auction to see if there are any suitable spirit tools. For example, I think the Heaven Breaking Awl that you refined is very suitable. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough spirit stones to buy it. "
No wonder the price had stopped at 12,000 spirit stones. Yi Tian secretly applauded, "I'm not afraid that you won't open your mouth. I'm just afraid that you won't have a need." He immediately said that as long as Zhuge Wudi could provide the exact location of the lightning flood dragon and help him hunt it, Yi Tian would directly provide a level four high-grade spirit tool for half the price.
After Zhuge Wudi heard this, he hesitated. He looked at Yi Tian and didn't say anything else. It seemed that Zhuge Wudi was still holding back. Maybe it was because he saw that Zhuge Wudi's cultivation was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian directly revealed that there were three people on his side, and one of them was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment. If the three of them worked together, as long as they were well prepared, it wouldn't be impossible to kill the level five lightning flood dragon and obtain its spirit essence.
Zhuge Wudi was also very bold. He directly proposed to join the hunt, and once they were done, they would only take the demonic beast core. Yi Tian thought that there was no conflict of interest between the two sides, so he nodded and agreed.
