Chapter 734: The Auction!
Not yet returning to the courtyard where they were staying, in the halfway corridor of Yutian Palace, Su Yi and Su Tian Que caught sight of none other than Xi Wuqing, who was about to leave the palace. It seemed that Xi Wuqing had already returned these past few days.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
Su Yi asked, wondering if Xi Wuqing had returned.
"There is an auction, and I heard that there is something I want inside. I am about to go and take a look!" said Xi Wuqing.
"Auction, what is an auction?"
Su Yi asked in confusion, it was the first time he had heard of an auction.
Just listening to Su Yi's words, Xi Wuqing couldn't help but feel a twitch in his eyes.
Is this young boy really a former disciple of the Divine Sword School, a prestigious and renowned martial arts sect? How could he not even know about the auction, at the very least?
"Um... come with me, I'll take you to have a look, the auction today is quite special."
Xi Wuqing raised an eyebrow, an expression of pride on his face. "Today's auction is truly extraordinary. Ordinary people can't even get in, but with his status, he had no problems at all."Su Yi found his place within the Yutian Palace, which was surprisingly free and unrestricted.
With Su Yi's current reputation in Central Region and his place in Yutian Palace, he could come and go freely, as if it were his own home.
However, when it came to the alchemists, blacksmiths, and Soul Tamers within the Yutian Palace, Su Yi was always polite. Whenever he encountered any of them, he would warmly greet them with courtesy.
Su Yi had a simple idea. These past few days, he had been under the care and protection of the Yutian Palace. Moreover, everyone in the Yutian Palace was quite formidable. Who knows, maybe one day he would need the help of these alchemists and blacksmiths for his own alchemy and forging. This was a great opportunity not to be missed, to build good relationships.
And these alchemists, blacksmiths, and Soul Tamers within the Yutian Palace, they all knew that Su Yi had infinite potential. The Palace Master and others valued him greatly and were happy to befriend him.
"You seem quite familiar with this place."
Observing the alchemists, blacksmiths, and Soul Tamers that Su Yi and Xi Wuqing encountered along the way, greeting each other as if they were familiar, Xi Wuqing couldn't help but feel moved.
The longer they spent together, Xi Wuqing increasingly felt that this young boy was unfathomable.
This is not only about strength, but also in other aspects, like taming the Crying Snake and the Green Emperor, or the mysterious space that left a deep impression on Xi Wuqing.
Furthermore, this kid's personality is wicked and proud, resilient, but when it comes to opponents, he is clean and decisive. Those mercenary groups in the Forest of Demons are a testament to that. As for beauties like Ouyang Jinwei, most young people would hesitate, perhaps showing mercy. But this kid shows no mercy when he strikes.
And when it comes to his own people, Xi Wuqing can feel that this kid, Su Yi, completely transforms. He takes care of Su Xiaoshuai like a true brother, and it's evident that he respects Old Man Gu Yue, Guan Lan, Yun Ding, Yan Lu, and others.
All of this made Xi Wuqing increasingly intrigued by Su Yi, this young man was indeed extraordinary.
"It's always a good idea to establish a good relationship first, as it may come in handy in the future when there is a need to ask for assistance, making it easier to seek help."
Listening to Xi Wuqing's words, Su Yi's eyes shifted and he whispered to Xi Wuqing.
"This..."
Xi Wuqing rolled his eyes, thinking to himself that this young boy was indeed extraordinary.
And then, it was from Xi Wuqing's mouth that Su Yi finally learned what an auction was in this world.
This auction and the auctions from his past life seemed to bear little difference. Essentially, in a certain place, valuable treasures were presented for auction.
There were various types of elixirs, refining materials, spiritual medicines, treasures of heaven and earth, cultivation techniques, martial arts, and other rare treasures.
Typically, auctions are organized by influential forces with a solid foundation, as ordinary forces cannot afford to host them.
"Lately, many powerful forces have come to the Central Region. The atmosphere is exceptional, with strong experts from the Five Sects and Three Schools and other top-notch Central Region powers arriving. There are even people from influential forces beyond the Central Region participating. Therefore, today's auction is not ordinary at all. It is of extremely high standard, and regular people simply cannot enter!"
Xi Wuqing's mouth curved upward, displaying a boastful smile. With his status as a Soul Tamer, only then could he enter such grand auctions.
"That's something I must go and experience. I'm sure there will be many wonderful things up for auction today!"
Su Yi also grew interested and wanted to go take a look. Such high-profile events must surely have many great items for sale.
"Of course," Xi Wuqing sighed, "it is said that many powerful individuals from the Five Sects and Three Schools will be attending today's auction. There may even be hidden experts making an appearance, all for the sake of a certain precious treasure."
"What treasure?"
Curiosity stirred within Su Yi. Something that could attract so many powerful individuals must surely be extraordinary.
"It is said to be an ancient object, a precious treasure that has caught the attention of many powerful beings. Many of them have come in search of this treasure."
Xi Wuqing spoke up, sharing the information he had gathered. Beyond that, he didn't know much else about the details.
He was just a humble wanderer, concealing his true identity. Few people knew these tidbits of information, and he could only uncover so much.
"Do you also wish to obtain that valuable treasure from the auction?"
Su Yi asked casually, assuming that Xi Wuqing had been gathering information these past few days specifically for the precious treasure in the auction.
Xi Wuqing shook his head and said, "That precious treasure has already attracted the attention of many strong warriors. In order to obtain it, there will surely be a fierce battle. The members of the Five Sects, Three Schools, and Sacred Mountain are all involved. Inside the Central Region City, there are still hidden powerful individuals. If one doesn't possess absolute strength, it is best not to get involved with that precious treasure."
Su Yi pondered for a moment and realized that it made sense. With so many people keeping an eye on the precious treasure at the auction, many powerful warriors would come for it, leading to an inevitable fierce battle during the auction.
But in the end, whoever gets it won't be safe. Once they leave the auction, they will likely be watched by numerous powerful warriors.
Without absolute strength, who would dare to lay hands on the precious treasure!
Su Yi knew very well the dangers of keeping the treasure, he had experienced it firsthand in the Forest of Demons.
"I found out that there will be a Star Cloud Ganoderma being auctioned at the auction. It has reached an extremely high level, and its effects are even better than the Blood Spiritual Ginseng. I have a great use for this item, and I am determined to obtain it!"
Xi Wuqing said with a glimmer in his eyes.
Last time, he didn't get the Blood Spiritual Ginseng. In the end, it ended up in this boy's hands. He had planned to ask for it, as it was of great use.
But recently, Xi Wuqing happened to receive some news. There was a sighting of the Star Cloud Ganoderma. This time, he went to the Central Region City to gather information, all for the sake of the Blood Infant Lingzhi.
"Star Cloud Ganoderma, this is a great thing."
Su Yi knew about the Star Cloud Ganoderma. The Star Cloud Ganoderma and the Blood Spiritual Ginseng were both equally great things.
