e was truly helpless, appealing to heaven and earth for aid, yet finding none. However, Di Kun, facing such a powerful attack, might be able to break through by relying on his defense and speed, but t...“Hold your horses, this is the location of Yunya Auction House. Only those who belong to our house or have received an invitation are allowed to enter.”
The spirit armor worn by the celestial guards at the gate was all a matching set. The armor worn by cultivators at the Golden Core stage and Foundation Establishment stage were distinctly different, yet they both bore the unique patterns of Yunya Auction House. This showcased the power of Yunya Auction House.
Lu Xia Tian didn't say much, directly tossing the jade pendant in his hand towards the two Immortal Guards blocking his path.
"It appears we have distinguished guests arriving. Please, come in."
The middle-aged man at the head was taken aback when he saw the jade pendant. Although the one-armed cultivator before him only seemed to be at the Golden Core stage, the jade pendant he presented far surpassed the status of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
"Welcome, esteemed guest, to my auction house. I wonder what brings you here today"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A woman with a full bust, slender waist, and stunning beauty, her face like a peach blossom, walked towards him. She smiled warmly at the cultivator in the hooded cloak before her. Although she couldn't see his features, Fang Ling had met many important figures. There were quite a few who, like this one, preferred to conceal their true appearance.
Since it's not yet time for the auction house to publicly auction the spirit objects, the fact that the other party came at this time clearly indicates a special transaction between them and the auction house.
"Many years ago, I placed a deposit with your esteemed establishment for a batch of spirit stones, intended for the purchase of Void-Meditation Sword Stones and Netherbone Sword Orchid. After decades have passed, I wonder if your establishment has managed to acquire these two spiritual artifacts."
Lu Xia Tian cut straight to the point. The spirit stones delivered at the beginning numbered in the millions, which was an astronomical sum even for a Yuan Ying cultivator. Now returning to the Chi Yan Continent, Lu Xia Tian naturally couldn't forget this matter.
“Please follow me to the VIP room and wait for a moment. I will go inquire about it and give you a reply.” Fang Ling heard the names of the two spiritual creatures, and her face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Anyone who used these two spiritual creatures was undoubtedly an extremely powerful sword cultivator. The man in front of her, wearing a hooded cloak, clearly didn't have a strong aura, but it was possible that he was intentionally concealing his aura, and in fact, he could be a very formidable figure.”
Lu Xia Tian nodded and followed Fang Ling into a lavish yet elegant, unique living room. Two beautiful female attendants in green dresses each served spiritual fruit and spiritual tea.
Though the spirit fruit and spirit tea were quite good for Jindan cultivators, Lu Xia Tian didn't even glance at them. He wasn't interested in the slightest.
After a moment, Fang Ling changed into a close-fitting purple Luo skirt. Her graceful figure appeared in the living room and sat opposite Lu Xia Tian. "I apologize for keeping you waiting. I just contacted you through the sound transmission bead. The Void Sword Stone and Nether Bone Sword Orchid that you ordered, I do have them in stock. However, this was twenty years ago. My auction house contacted you several times at the time, but there was no response from you. We kept these two artifacts for a while without success, and coincidentally, other customers were looking for them, so,"
“So, you Yun Yae Auction House gave the item I ordered to someone else.” Lu Xia Tian replied in a cold voice. “Why wasn’t I told about the time limit when I first placed the order”
“This, I’m afraid I can’t explain. Please understand, esteemed guest.” Fang Ling’s face flashed a hint of awkwardness.
"Since it's your auction house that's incompetent, why should I bear the loss Since you have no intention of giving me this item, just return my spirit stones. I'll find other means." Lu Xia Tian said angrily.
“Ling’er, I’m here, why don’t you come out quickly.” At this moment, an impatient voice sounded outside. It was accompanied by the sound of galloping hooves.
The other party may have received a tip from someone else and went straight to the living room.
The man at the head of the table was the arrogant young man Lu Xia Tian had encountered when he first entered Fei Liu City. This person had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, his face filled with joy. However, seeing Fang Ling's awkward expression and the rather unpleasant atmosphere at the scene, he immediately realized that the guest sitting opposite Fang Ling was probably not easy to deal with.
"Ling'er, what's going on"
“This young master is Muye Changting, the eldest son of Fei Liu City. I wonder how this esteemed friend should be addressed” The handsome young master Muye Changting spoke, and a sharp aura swept towards Lu Xiaoteng, accompanied by powerful sword intent.
Early Nascent Soul Stage! Lu Xia Tian's eyes narrowed. If not for the fact that he had previously fought a three-headed snake demon, causing his spiritual energy to be greatly depleted now, he would never have allowed someone at the early Nascent Soul Stage to act so arrogantly in front of him.
Though powerful, Lu Xia Tian felt a twinge of frustration within him. He felt like a dragon swimming in shallow water, a tiger fallen from its peak.
"Just an itinerant cultivator, I'm not sure who this Master Muye is. Is this the Cloud Cliff Auction House's way of treating guests" Lu Xia Tian raised an eyebrow. Right now he was still within Flying Stream Immortal City, so what could possibly go wrong
“This,” Fang Ling’s face flushed red and white, “This Muye Changting admires me and wants to stand up for me, but this isn’t the right time or place. To be honest, Yunya Auction House was in the wrong first.”
Fang Ling hurriedly sent a message to Makino Chotei, telling him not to act rashly and avoid angering this mysterious person. Makino Chotei himself was already a Yuanying cultivator, let alone the powerful Makino family he came from.
Although this mysterious person's tone was courteous, there wasn't much fear in their voice. Facing the imposing presence of Muye Changting, they remained steadfast and unmoved, clearly not as simple as they appeared. A Golden Core cultivator with no foundation or backing shouldn't be able to sit so calmly before Muye Changting
"Valued guest, please do not be alarmed. This is indeed my fault for mishandling things. My bank is willing to compensate you and will do everything in our power to help you gather the Sky-Void Sword Stone and Netherbone Sword Orchid again."
“There’s no need for you to feign politeness towards this man, Ling'er.” Mukaino Chōtei saw his beloved attending to Lu Xia Tian with care, and the proud and arrogant him naturally couldn't bear it. He went straight to the point and said, “You, you don't even dare to reveal your name, hiding like a coward like this. I won't be polite to you. To be honest, the Kong Ming Sword Stone and the Nirvana Sword Youlan that you're seeking were supposed to be mine. What do you intend to do”
"I wonder, Master Muye, what gives you the right to intercept my order for a spirit item Is it your cultivation, your status, or perhaps your connections with the auction house's resident manager"
Lu Xia Tian said in a flat tone, "Although the other party is imposing, if we really tore our faces apart, I wouldn't necessarily be afraid of them. Since Muye Changting is so insistent, why should I fear revealing everything"
“Whether you’re talking about family standing, cultivation level, status, or even the importance of Changting Gege to the Yunya Auction, you, with your blatant hints, are probably still no match.” A loli girl who came with Muye Changting snorted.
“Oh, what a lively gathering today! The most promising young men from the Makino and Minamoto clans have all come together here.” Just then, a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples and a stern countenance, accompanied by a dignified young man in green armor, entered the VIP room.om naturally couldn't stop Wu Changlian, this powerful cultivator who had merged with his body. 。That plum blossom in an instant turned into points of starlight. 。In the blink of an eye, even more po...
