Chapter 2015
by“Why are you waiting for me here? Yang Kai looked at the fellow and asked.
The guy said, “It’s like this. This little one was ordered by the shopkeeper to wait here for Master Yang Dan. The shopkeeper said that he wants to invite Master Yang Dan to go to this auction conference together.”
“The Auction Convention？” Yang Kai raised his brows, suddenly remembering that Consonance had indeed mentioned this matter to him a few days ago. It was said that the martial artists in Fenglin City had obtained a lot of good things within the Five-Colored Pagoda this time, so the City Lord Duan Yuanshan wanted to organize an Auction Convention to let everyone exchange what they had and what they needed.
However, Yang Kai was previously short of money and wasn’t very interested in this either, not showing any intention of going. Unexpectedly, Consonance still sent someone to invite him.
This time, he had obtained a lot of Source Crystals and good things in the Lu Family. Yang Kai now also had a considerable amount of wealth, so it wouldn’t hurt to go and take a look.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai said, “What good things are there in this Auction Convention？ To make Shopkeeper Kang so obsessed. Has he revealed any clues？”
The fellow mysteriously smiled, looked around, and then leaned forward to Yang Kai and said in a low voice, “The shopkeeper said that a Dao Source Fruit will appear at this Auction Convention.”
“Really？” Yang Kai was extremely surprised.
“That’s right！ So Shopkeeper Kang is so interested in this Auction Convention and also wants to invite Alchemist Yang to go with him, pool the funds, and snatch that Dao Source Fruit together.”
“I understand.” Yang Kai nodded.
“In addition, the shopkeeper also said that among the auction items this time, there is an ancient Pill Furnace, at least of the lower grade of the Dao Source Level. If Alchemist Yang can tap this Pill Furnace the success rate and the number of pills produced in the future will both increase. This ancient Pill Furnace has quite a lot of attraction for alchemists.
“I’m rather interested in that.” Yang Kai smiled faintly. “Well, where will the auction be held and when will it start?”
The shop assistant smiled and said, “It will start at noon today. I have been waiting here for two days for Alchemist Yang. If you hadn’t come back, I’m afraid you would have missed it.”
“In that case, I came back just in time. Alright, you go back and tell Shopkeeper Kang that I’ll pack up and go to find him right away.”
“Yes！” The shop assistant responded and immediately left.”
Although the two people’s voices were not loud, Zhang Ruoxi, who was curiously watching nearby, still heard a lot. After the shop assistant left, she looked at Yang Kai in surprise and said, “Sir, you are actually an alchemist？”
Yang Kai chuckled and said, “Just a little understanding. Come in and talk first.”
As he spoke, Yang Kai opened the restriction of the cave and then led Zhang Ruoxi in.”
The cave he rented in Fenglin City was not the best, but it was not bad either. It was of medium to high grade. There were several rooms in the cave and the area was relatively spacious. Yang Kai designated a room for Zhang Ruoxi and let her live there in the future.”
He also gave her the token of his cave, taught her some methods of opening and closing the restriction, and told her that except for himself, no one should open the cave when they came here.”
Zhang Ruoxi naturally nodded in agreement.”
“If you feel bored staying here, you can go out for a walk. The public security in Fenglin City is not bad. However, it’s better not to go to the black market. The City Lord’s Mansion doesn’t manage that area. That place is rather chaotic. With your cultivation level, it will be very dangerous for you to go there.” Yang Kai exhorted again.
“Ruoxi won’t go anywhere. Ruoxi will just wait here for Mister to come back.” Zhang Ruoxi said softly.
“As you like. Then you can have a rest first. I’m going out for a while.” After giving the order, Yang Kai left directly.
Zhang Ruoxi saw him off respectfully from behind.
After Yang Kai left, Zhang Ruoxi began to look around the cave abode. She found that although the cave abode was clean and tidy, it was extremely simple. Thinking that this would be the place where she would live in the future, she considered how to transform it.
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ruoxi suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. She already had a plan in her mind. Immediately, she began to take out some things from the Space Ring and arrange them.
……
In the Spirit Pill Workshop, as soon as Yang Kai walked in, someone immediately reported to Kang Siran.
Not long after, Kang Siran walked out quickly from the inside and warmly held Yang Kai’s arm and said, “Alchemist Yang, you finally showed up. If you didn’t appear again, I’m afraid you would miss this auction conference. Let’s go, there isn’t much time left. We’d better hurry to the City Lord’s Mansion.”
“Is the auction conference held in the City Lord’s Mansion？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
“Naturally. After all, this time it’s an auction personally organized by the City Lord. So of course the venue is set in the City Lord’s Mansion. I’ll tell you on the way what good stuff will appear.”
Walking all the way to the City Lord’s Mansion with Kang Siran and listening to the inside information he inquired about, Yang Kai then learned that although the martial artists in Fenglin City suffered heavy casualties when they entered the Five-Colored Pagoda this time, there were really some who got good things.
The Dao Source Fruit goes without saying, it will definitely be the finale auction item.
There will also be several Dao Source-level secret treasures. It is heard that many Dao Source Jing powerhouses from nearby forces have been attracted to participate in the auction.
Moreover, there are also some spiritual pills and medicines, and lost cultivation techniques and secret arts.
In short, this auction is grand and unprecedented, and the martial artists in Fenglin City are all looking forward to it. However, there are conditions to participate in the auction. After all, there are so many martial artists in Fenglin City, and even though the City Lord’s Mansion is large, it cannot accommodate so many people to enter the venue.
To enter the auction, in addition to getting the invitation card issued by the City Lord’s Mansion, only two types of people can enter freely.
One is a martial artist above the Void King Jing , and the second is a martial artist with abundant financial resources. Otherwise, they are not allowed to step into the auction venue.
And as the shopkeeper of the Spiritual Pill Workshop, Kang Siran often deals with the City Lord’s Mansion and of course has long received the invitation card. His invitation card can bring one person into the venue, so Yang Kai doesn’t need to be checked for his cultivation level or financial resources either.
“The Heavenly Martial Holy Land has put three Dao Source Fruits into the Five-Colored Pagoda this time. One will appear at the auction. I wonder who will get the remaining two.” Kang Siran has always been brooding over the Dao Source Fruit. He is very regretful that he didn’t have this opportunity in the Five-Colored Pagoda. Now he has to compete with others for it. For this Dao Source Fruit, he has almost brought all his savings and is ready to have a good bloodbath.”
However, he also knows that he has little hope. After all, although he is the shopkeeper of the Spirit Pill Workshop, how can his financial resources be compared with those of the sect families? If he represents the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce and can get the support of the chamber of commerce, the situation will be very different. But in a short time, where can he get the capital injection of the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce?
Hearing him say this, Yang Kai sniffed and didn’t pick up the conversation.
After all, one of the Dao Source Fruits is still in his Space Ring. It’s just that he doesn’t know who has the third one and how many Dao Source Realm warriors it will create.
The two were talking and walking, and soon came to the City Lord’s Mansion.
In front of the City Lord’s Mansion, the crowd was bustling and crowded. Many warriors were scrambling to rush in. The guard team of Fenglin City was trying hard to maintain order. From time to time, someone flew around in the sky, scolding those who wanted to jump the queue.
“A Return to Void Third-Order Realm wants to participate in the auction too？ Go back and cultivate for a few more years before coming! What？ You have Source Crystals？ Let me see. Hundreds of thousands of Source Crystals are also called Source Crystals？ Scram! Scram! Scram!” Shouts and curses came from the front. Obviously, there were martial artists who did not meet the conditions and wanted to get in by cheating, but were caught by the guard team and directly thrown out far away, falling in a sorry state.
“A Void King First-Order Realm, barely qualified. Please come in, this friend.”
“What are you doing here with your Saint King Third-Order Realm? Believe it or not, I’ll slap you to death. Oh, you brought a million Source Crystals. Why didn’t you say so earlier? You can go in.”
The martial artists of the guard team were also extremely busy. As the auction was about to start, there were still countless martial artists who wanted to enter the venue making them have a headache.
“Ah, it’s Shopkeeper Kang.”
Kang Siran and Yang Kai squeezed in the crowd for a long time before they came to a guard of the city lord’s mansion. The man recognized Kang Siran at once and immediately put on a smiling face.
“Shopkeeper Kang, this time we have to follow the rules. You should have an invitation letter, right？”
“Naturally.” Kang Siran smiled slightly. Under the envious, jealous, and hateful eyes of many martial artists beside him, he gracefully took out an invitation letter and handed it to the guard.
The guard took it, verified it was correct, and smiled and said, “Alright, Shopkeeper Kang, please come in. Once you go in, just show the invitation letter and someone will come to greet you.”
“Thanks. By the way, I want to bring this friend in with me. Is that okay？” Kang Siran pointed at Yang Kai.
“According to the rules, it’s naturally no problem.” The guard just took a look at Yang Kai and then let them through readily.
Kang Siran nodded and he and Yang Kai jumped out of the crowd, both couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
“Let’s go. The auction is about to start.” As Kang Siran spoke, his pace quickened a lot.
Not long after, the two entered the City Lord’s Mansion. After Kang Siran showed the invitation, immediately a maid led the two to a private room numbered B9.
Regarding this number, Kang Siran seemed a bit surprised. After all, he was also a well-known figure in Fenglin City. Although his cultivation was not too strong, he wore the halo of the Purple Source Chamber of Commerce, and even City Lord Duan Yuanshan didn’t dare to look down on him.
But now, he was actually only assigned to a B-numbered private room, indicating that the rooms with previous numbers had people with stronger strength or greater backgrounds than him.
Realizing this, Kang Siran couldn’t help but frown, having a bad feeling.
The auction house should have been temporarily transformed from a great hall of the City Lord’s Mansion. The area was quite wide. In the hall below, it was densely packed with people. Yang Kai took a rough look and felt that there were at least several thousand people, and there were also over a hundred private rooms above.
Even so, there are still many people who failed to enter. If it weren’t for relying on Kang Siran’s blessing, although the two of them could come in, there would be no place to stay.
At this moment, the hall was in a hubbub. Countless people were whispering in groups of three or five, discussing animatedly. Obviously, the auction had not started yet.
Only in those hundred private rooms, it was quiet and silent. From time to time, the warriors below would sweep over the private rooms, all with envious expressions on their faces.
“Sit down.” As Kang Siran spoke, he had already found a place and sat down.
Yang Kai also sat down calmly. After all, he had participated in several auctions. Although it was the first time in the Star Boundary, he felt that they were all more or less the same and there was not much difference.
