Main Hall
A Divine Soul energy burst before the sun came up the next day at the inn, startling Divine Souls of those in the vicinity. Nobody dared to approach the room, since the locals couldn’t hold a candle to the visiting cultivators. The burst came from the purple qilin horn. Yun’er opened her eyes and used her finger poke to store the horn away. She patted her chest and bit her lip, as she knew she alerted everyone. She never imagined it’d be too strong for her formation to contain.
Yun’er opened the room. Of all the people around, she couldn’t see the appearance of an individual in black. Another individual in black stepped out from the room next to her. Yang Tian grabbed Yun’er by the hand and, before heading down stairs, he spoke in a thunderous voice just to startle hostiles: “Let’s go.”
Overhearing a conversation on his way downstairs, Yang Tian was bemused as to what people were purchasing so many materials for. By the sounds of things, he wasn’t going to be able to purchase the segmented soul pill. Therefore, he was quite irate all his preparations were for naught.
Yang Tian headed straight to Devil Spirit City’s auction company, intimidating people as he did yesterday. Yun’er noticed transformed Demonic Beasts. The guards were very respectful to the duo, because of how amazing Yang Tian was. He went red in the face when he saw the number of beautiful women in the bustling main hall. Yun’er, red in the face, ground her teeth and tightened her grip on Yang Tian’s hand until they were sweaty. A woman in a qipao approached the duo. She asked, “Are you here to sell something, Sir?”
Yang Tian shook his head and doused her in his energy, making her shudder. She stopped acting seductive and switched to a demure demeanour. Yang Tian gulped. From the way she carried herself it was clear she was trained. Feeling Yun’er stab into his hand, he went red in the face and held her hand tighter. She smiled and leaned in close whilst vigilantly observing the woman. Yang Tian demanded, “Take me to the appraisal room.”
The woman nodded: “Please follow me, Sir.”
Not surprised or finding any issues with what happened, the woman lead the duo through a passageway to an ancient room. She shut the door behind her on the way out. An elder came out from what seemed to be a secret door. The elder in black held his hands in a cupped-fist salute when he noticed Yang Tian’s aura: “Esteemed Guest, what would you like to sell?”
Yang Tian offered an interspatial ring and calmly answered: “Five three thousand year old spiritual herbs for sharp-gold quality refinement materials.”
The elder calmly took the interspatial ring and peered inside. He opened his eyes with a surprised look, because of how precious the herbs were. After calming down, he stated, “Sir, how much do you need? Lots of people have exchanged items for refinement materials recently. Your herbs are valuable; however, there is not much to exchange it for. If you want to exchange them for something else, perhaps our sect can help you.”
“Thank you for the kind offer. I only need refinement materials, though… In regards to how much is auctioned, I guess I shall wait and see. I can accept it as long as the price is not outlandish.” Yang Tian put on airs of a wealthy merchant.
The elder had never seen anyone sell valuables straight out of the soil before. “As you insist on taking part in the auction, I shan’t comment any further. We cannot help if you are unhappy with what you manage to purchase. This is your VIP token.”
“That’s fine…” Yang Tian turned back after reaching the door.
