Lou Xiaoyi flew towards his predetermined target. He intended to stop after finishing this robbery, as this was due to his respect towards the great powers that had existed for a long time. He couldn't take everyone to be idiots!
Nine upper sects, nine continents. Besides the Unfettered Wander and Golden Court Palace, there were still seven other places to choose from. There was no need to catch a sheep and drag it to its death!
He who'd been in a bandit's lair for a long time knew when to be tight, when to relax, when to be greedy, and when to give up!
The principle that the bandits of the fifth ring had always instilled in their juniors was that they had to take advantage of the situation when robbing. If they repeatedly encountered baffling obstructions, then it indicated that there was surely a reason behind it. Normally, one shouldn't try to be brave at this time, and it would be fine to change a place, time, and target.
Lou Xiaoyi understood the essence of this extremely well! His robbing journey in the Golden Court Continent didn't go smoothly. The first two failures were baffling, and if he failed the third time as well, then he would immediately leave this place that was obviously ominous to him.
But he'd succeeded the third time! So he had to give it a try. Was this a chance success? Or did his luck change?
He was similarly cautious towards this target of his, and he was even more cautious! He first observed the terrain nearby the target area, then found the nearest zigzag crack, and he only started to approach the target after confirming all sorts of things. In the Golden Court Continent, the cultivators that guarded this place generally rarely left their own area. Occasionally, they could leave for a short period of time, but they weren't allowed to wander outside for a long period of time. So he wasn't too worried that he wouldn't be able to find the person.
But before he'd even truly come into contact with this cultivator's abode, he'd already obtained a piece of news that made him feel extremely strange when he'd inquired about the recent major events in this area. The Golden Court Guard cultivator of this area had already left, and the reason was actually because he'd been invited to participate in some continent's 100-year Treasure Appraisal Convention!
His first reaction to such a coincidence at such a timing was that it wasn't targeted at him? It was called the Treasure Appraisal Convention, yet it was actually a trap!
This was the most basic intuition and judgment of a cultivator!
"I wanted to pay a visit to Master here, yet who knew that it would be so unfortunate that I'd come all the way here for nothing!"
The shop owner smiled and said, "The Treasure Appraisal Assembly is scheduled for the beginning of next month and will last for more than a month. If Fellow Daoist rushes there now, you will have more than enough time to arrive before the Treasure Appraisal Assembly begins! Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if he could pay a visit to a sage and also appreciate treasures? I can't leave because I have business to attend to, otherwise I would definitely go. This kind of occasion is often accompanied by auctions, it is a great opportunity for my Shang Family!
If you don't want to travel, the local scenery is beautiful and there are many scenic spots and historical sites. Fellow Daoist, you can swim here one by one. Presumably, Master will be back in three months. That's also a good idea. "
Lou Xiaoyi was very curious. He knew very well that if they were trying to lure him out, they would have to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, if they had no influence, the bandits might not be willing to patronize them!
Moreover, he needed to figure out who was behind this if it was a trap. Could it be Zu Chong? The Zu clan was so powerful in the Imperial Court that they could set up such a trap all over the continent?
All of this could be judged from the scale of the Treasure Appraisal Convention! After staying in the bandits' lair for a long time and experiencing life and death for a long time, he had a cautious and meticulous character. There were many things that he could see clearly as long as he was willing to use his brain!
"The journey isn't short and requires continuous flying for half a month. It's tiring and exhausting. If it's just some ordinary treasures, then it's better not to go. It's more comfortable to stay here and admire the scenery!"
The shopkeeper shook his head. "Fellow Daoist, you don't know! The Treasure Appraisal Convention this time is extraordinary. The treasures displayed are the true treasures of the Jin Dan period. Ordinary things can't be brought to the table!
In my Imperial Court Continent, because of tradition, there are many magic gatherings, but there aren't many treasure gatherings. Most of them are hosted by my Shang Family. Our strength is limited, so how many things can we bring out that are attractive?
But this time, it's led by the Imperial Court Sect. It's truly continental in nature and involves a wide range of things. There are no precedents!
The entire Treasure Appraisal Convention is divided into a few parts. The medicinal pills part is all great medicinal pills and wondrous medicines. If they can't revive the dead and regrow bones, you would be embarrassed to put them up!
Formations and talismans are part of it. They are all ancient and wondrous formations. Forbidden Talismans and Iron Talismans are no different from medicinal pills!
The main event is tool crafting! It represents the highest level of standard in the Imperial Court Continent! Especially in terms of materials. If they aren't of the highest quality, they can't be invited to participate!
Alas, it's a pity that I can't go! But what's the use of going? I can only watch but can't do anything! Even if there are occasional auctions, with my wealth and strength, I won't be able to compete with others. It's good that I don't go. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep and eat without thinking about it day and night! "
Lou Xiaoyi laughed. "Your way of thinking is wrong. If everyone thinks like you, no one will go! If you think like this, what if the heavens are looking after you and let you pick up a bargain? If a person has hope, there will be a day when it will come true! "
The shopkeeper handed over a jade slip. "Take a look! This is the detailed list of treasures issued by the Treasure Appraisal Convention. It's not complete yet. I heard that there are more additions. Fellow Daoist is a sensible person. You'll know whether it's real or fake with a look! "
Lou Xiaoyi scanned it with his divine sense. He was very surprised when he saw the beginning. "It's only at the Jin Dan level? Foundation Establishment artifacts aren't worth mentioning, but if Yuanying artifacts aren't allowed to participate in the exhibition, it'll lose its interest, right? Moreover, why aren't Yuanying allowed to participate? Are they afraid of being robbed? "
The shopkeeper laughed. "Fellow Daoist, you must be joking! In my Imperial Court Continent, if there are still people who dare to fish in troubled waters in the Treasure Appraisal Convention held by the Imperial Court people, then they don't want to live anymore! The reason why Yuanying aren't allowed to participate is because they're afraid that these seniors will rely on their wealth to make others unable to eat meat!
Therefore, the reason why the Imperial Court Sect's Daoist Masters aren't coming is to warn the Daoist Masters of the other continents not to cause trouble in the Imperial Court Continent. This is a Treasure Appraisal Convention that belongs exclusively to the Jin Dan cultivators. Foundation Establishment Yuanying aren't welcomed! This kind of convention will also make the participating cultivators more relaxed. If not for a group of old monsters present, no one will be able to relax! "
"So that's how it is!"
Lou Xiaoyi was even more certain that this convention was simply tailor-made for him! The smell of a conspiracy is so obvious. Is it because they've determined that he'll definitely go?
His divine sense immersed into the jade slip and directly skipped over medicinal pills, talismans, and formations before placing his mind on the artifacts. Shockingly, there was a long list of spirit artifacts on it. There were almost 20 types of spirit artifacts, and all of them were top-rate spirit artifacts that had been refined in these past few years. There were metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and they were all complete and varied, causing one to drool with desire.
Inhumane! You're f * cking provoking me! '
Lou Xiaoyi couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Truthfully speaking, he really wasn't a person that paid too much attention to external objects. Even if it was top-rate materials of the five elements, it was fine as long as they were sufficient. He'd never intentionally searched for them in the past 300 plus years. Now that he finally had some thoughts, someone had arranged such a large lineup to deal with him. Did they want to capture him and grind his bones to dust?
Isn't it just some materials? Is there a need for this?
