829: C829 The Auction

C829 The Auction

Although Ling Jian didn't make a move earlier, the pressure she displayed was something that not many people in the Skysoul Palace could match up to.

...

The next day.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the Red Alliance Spiritual City, causing the entire city to instantly become lively. Figures of cultivators appeared one after another.

If it was any other day, perhaps there would be cultivators appearing, but there definitely wouldn't be too many.

However, today was different from the rest. It wasn't that there was a festival today, but because today was the auction held once every three years in the Red Alliance Spiritual City.

On this day, as soon as it began, it was already crowded with people.

Although there were limited seats in the auction, it was not easy for anyone to participate in it. However, most of the cultivators chose to come and visit on this day... They were also quite curious about the items being auctioned.

Besides the cultivators of the Spiritual City of the Crimson Alliance, the cultivators of the other cities would also come. The cultivators of the other cities would also be the center of attention of the crowd.

"Another three years have passed without me noticing."

"Time passes quite quickly. The auction held once every three years is the biggest event in the Crimson Alliance Spiritual City, and it is no exception."

"I wonder what the final treasure of this auction will appear."

"It's said that the final item of the last auction was a peak Heaven rank cultivation technique, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden Scripture."

"This Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden Scripture seems to have been auctioned off by the Yang Family. I remember that the Yang Family seemed to have paid a considerable price, and in the end, it should have fallen into Yang Xueying's hands."

"The most powerful cultivation techniques of the Crimson Alliance's three great families are all Heaven rank, but they're all at the late Heaven rank. Only Yang Xueying cultivated a peak heaven-grade cultivation technique, and this is also the reason why. They were all three great geniuses, but Yang Xueying was able to suppress the other two. "

Some cultivators sighed, as if they had told them a secret.

" Although Yang Xueying was the only one who cultivated, the Yang Clan might be able to cultivate in the future. This Yang Clan is really lucky. "

"Let's not talk about the final item of the last auction. Let's talk about it this time. I heard from the rumors that the final item of this auction is a strange creature."

"A strange creature? What's so strange about it?"

"It is said that this creature can transform into a human form. It seems like it cannot be killed, and there is no flesh or blood. However, it possesses the aura of a true vicious beast."

"Transformation?"

"Could it be a super vicious beast comparable to a Heavenly Dao Stage cultivator? If that's the case, the finale item is not simple. After all, a ferocious beast's combat strength in the same stage far exceeds that of a human cultivator. If it's as you say, immortal and indestructible, I'm afraid it'll be even more terrifying. "

"Who says it's not? It's said that this type of existence can even control the power used by cultivators. For example, if a cultivator cultivates some sort of powerful spirit art, if such a bizarre creature were to learn it as well... If this strange creature becomes my hatchet man, then it will undoubtedly make the enemy unable to guard against it. I'm in a sorry state."

"I'm afraid that this time, the three great clans will probably fight until their heads start bleeding."

"That's not necessarily the case, I've heard that even the cultivators of the Black Society's Spiritual Sky are here this time. The one who has come is the Fang Clan from Black Alliance's Spiritual City. The Fang Clan is the most powerful clan in Black Alliance's Spiritual City. It's really hard to say who will succeed this time. "

The auction in the Red Alliance Spiritual City was held at the center of the city as usual.

Due to the auction being held, the entire central square was now surrounded by cultivators. These cultivators were the people of the auction, and if they wanted to enter the auction, one had to pay a certain amount of spirit stones in order to enter the auction.

For some cultivators, they chose to buy tickets. After all, this kind of auction held once every three years wasn't very common. However, for most cultivators, they didn't have any extra spirit stones to buy tickets, so they could only watch helplessly from outside the crowd.

But even so, they were already satisfied.

Scarlet Alliance Wine Castle.

At this moment, in the Heavenly Wine House.

Following Yang Xueying's arrival, Ling Jian was still sitting cross-legged on the bed. He did not make any movements, not even opening his eyes. It was as if he did not notice Ling Jian's appearance.

Yang Xueying glanced at Ling Jian's current posture. Obviously, he was already used to it.

Although they had only met once and the number of times they had met was not very deep, she was very clear about Ling Jian's personality.

Thump, thump, thump.

It was also at this moment.

Suddenly. A series of hurried knocks on the door were heard, followed by the voice of Shan Family's Patriarch, Shan Wuji.

Only then did Ling Jian slowly open his eyes. He walked forward and opened the door. Then, he saw Shan Wuji outside the door.

Seeing Ling Jian walk out, Shan Wuji's face also revealed a smile as he said to Ling Jian, "Young Master Ling, today is the day of the auction."

Ling Jian merely glanced at Shan Wuji indifferently before he nodded and said. "Yes."

Shan Wuji looked at Ling Jian and said with a smile. " Young Master Ling, everything in the auction is ready. You can bid for it. This time, I'll treat it as an apology to Young Master Ling. "

Ling Jian glanced at Shan Wuji and said coldly, "Alright, in that case, after this auction ends, the grudge between you and me will come to an end."

The smile on Shan Wuji's face also became incomparably brilliant as he said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I'll thank Young Master Ling first this time."

This time, he did not bring anyone with him when he came to Red Alliance Wine Castle. He only came alone.

Very quickly, the two of them walked towards the central plaza of the Red Alliance Spirit City. However, they did not deliberately conceal themselves. Instead, they chose to fly.

At the same time, behind the two of them, Yang Xueying also flew in this direction.

Very soon, the two of them had flown more than half the distance, and they were getting closer and closer to the central area.

As the two of them were flying in the sky... Therefore, when they looked down from this angle, they could clearly see the flow of people below.

They could see people coming and going on the road to the central region. They were all cultivators.

This was especially the case when one was close to the central square. The number of cultivators here was even greater. The number of cultivators here was sufficient to be described as a sea of people.

The majority of these cultivators were cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Path, occupying a large area of the square. Other than them, there were also some martial artists with cultivation bases, but most of them came in groups.

After all, although this place could increase their knowledge, it was similarly dangerous, especially when they didn't have any advantage in terms of cultivation base.

There weren't any Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators around the square. After all, for cultivators with such cultivation, they already had enough wealth and enough to buy tickets to the auction.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the sky, and then many gazes looked up.

"Look, there seems to be someone flying in the sky."

"Who is it? How dare he be so bold? Is he going to ignore the rules set by the three great clans?"

"Eh? Why do I feel that the person leading you is so familiar? It seems to be the head of the Shan Family, Shan Wuji."

"He is indeed the head of the Shan Family. If that is the case, it is not that I am ignoring him. However, the person following behind him must be Young Master Ling Jian."

"Tsk tsk, he looks so young. I didn't expect that at such a young age, he would actually be able to stand on equal footing with the head of the Shan Family. I'm afraid that his future achievements will definitely not be too low."

...

Because Ling Jian and Shan Wuji were both very famous in the Crimson Alliance's Spiritual City, they appeared at this moment. Even the cultivators from the foreign cities also turned to look at the two of them.

This was naturally the first time they had seen the cultivators from the foreign cities. They continuously sized up and scanned the two of them.

However, these gazes and discussions. Neither Ling Jian nor Shan Wuji paid much attention to them. Instead, their figures landed on the ground. They directly appeared at the entrance of the square. Under the respectful gazes of the two soldiers, they headed straight for the auction.

After entering the auction venue, what appeared before the two of them was an extremely long and narrow corridor. The corridor was surrounded by rays of light as the two of them proceeded forward.

Very quickly, the two of them reached the end of the long and narrow corridor with the strength of their feet. As soon as they walked out, their field of vision immediately became spacious.

At the same time, almost half of the appearance of the auction appeared in their field of vision.

Between them. The auction was like a huge ring, similar to an ancient battlefield. In the venue, rows of seats were decorated. Now, all of these seats were filled with people.

However, because the auction did not start, everyone was explaining continuously. The venue immediately became extremely noisy.

In the middle of the circular seat was a tall platform. This tall platform did not take up a very large area, but its height could not be ignored. If someone stood on this tall platform, perhaps all the surrounding cultivators would be able to see it.

Looking at the auction with such an image, Ling Jian's face remained calm and collected, but in his heart, he sighed.

Shan Wuji also noticed the change in Ling Jian's mood. Immediately, he opened his mouth in doubt, "Young Master Ling."

It was also at this moment that a female cultivator from the auction walked over at the same time from a spot not far away from the auction hall's passageway.

This was the first time Ling Jian had participated in an auction. However, he could also predict that the person who would appear in such an occasion would definitely be a female cultivator.

As the female cultivator walked over, many people could clearly see the female cultivator. It was a woman with a pretty face. Similarly... The woman's cultivation wasn't weak either. She had already reached the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path.

These two points alone were far from enough to accentuate the uniqueness of this woman. Her clothes were extremely revealing, causing others to be unable to shift their gazes away.

At this moment, the gazes of the cultivators near this woman instantly became incomparably hot and hot.

However, even though this was the case, these male cultivators merely looked at her like this, and they didn't really do anything.

After all, this woman's cultivation might not be considered outstanding in front of many Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators, but because of the auction, even Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators like them didn't dare to easily offend her.

Even if they were envious, they could only watch and feel envy in their hearts.

At this time, Ling Jian also looked at this woman, but his eyes did not have the slightest fiery heat. After pausing for a moment, he could not help but withdraw his gaze.

Shan Wuji, who was beside him, also quietly watched the scene in front of him. He saw that Ling Jian was still able to maintain such composure even when facing this beautiful woman from the auction. Even if he was unwilling, he had to admit it. Ling Jian... As a young cultivator, his mental strength was indeed much stronger than ordinary people.

After all, for many male cultivators, the dirty thoughts in their hearts were nothing to any woman. Especially the woman at the auction... On the premise that she was wearing such revealing clothes.

This was also the reason why the female cultivators were wearing such revealing clothes.

They also needed to seduce some male cultivators to satisfy the need for money and desire.

As for this point, Kindness and orderliness naturally knew it. In fact, the auctioneer in front of him was also specially arranged for Ling Jian by him. However, he had never expected Ling Jian to remain indifferent at this moment. Thus, he had decisively given up on this thought in his heart.

Very quickly, this female cultivator appeared in front of Ling Jian and Kindness.

"Gentlemen, please come in"

The female cultivator from the auction came in front of them and immediately made an inviting gesture. After saying that, she walked forward.

It was unknown if this woman was doing it on purpose, or if she was just walking like this. Now that she was walking in front of them, her willowy waist twisted and she looked like a water snake. Her perky butt was perfectly matched, making her seem extremely attractive.

At this moment, the whispers among the cultivators had completely died down. They all stared at the woman without blinking their eyes.

Compared to the crowd who was as fierce as wolves and tigers, Ling Jian did not care at all. His gaze did not fall on her. Soon, the group of three arrived at the center of the auction hall.

This was already the area that belonged to the exclusive auction stage.

Similarly, those who could appear here could basically be considered to be important figures in the Crimson Alliance's Spiritual City.

Similarly, the construction here was different from those in the outer perimeter. Instead, it was built into a separate room by a seat.

These rooms were luxuriously decorated. It was obvious that the auction had put a lot of thought into these rooms.

Similarly, one could observe the importance of this auction.

"Please come in."

At this time, the woman who was walking at the front suddenly said. As the woman said this, her beautiful eyes looked at Ling Jian, and there was a seductive charm in her eyes.

If it was an ordinary cultivator, they would have thought of this even if they didn't have any interest in her.

However, Ling Jian didn't care at all.

After seeing this scene, the female cultivator couldn't help but shake her head. She opened the door for Ling Jian and Kindness and invited them to directly enter.

However, before they could make their move, a group of people walked over.

There were quite a lot of people in this group. There were more than ten of them, both men and women. The leader was an old man, but most of them were young cultivators.

When the two of them noticed this group of people, they also discovered Ling Jian and his companion. One of the familiar figures jumped into Ling Jian's line of sight.

It was Yang Xueying, who had arrived later.

And the old man beside her, if his guess was correct, was most likely the Yang Family's Patriarch.

Yang Xueying's beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of excitement when she saw Ling Jian. But very quickly... She noticed the woman beside Ling Jian and frowned. If one were to look closely, one would be able to notice... There was a hint of jealousy in the depths of her eyes...

"Family Head Shan, you're quite early."

The Yang Family Head looked at Shan Wuji and said with a smile.

The full name of the patriarch of the Yang Family was Yang Zhentian, who had also reached the late stage of the Heavenly Execution Realm. He was one of the three experts in the Spiritual City of the Crimson Alliance.

Seeing the Head of the Yang Family greet him, the Head of the Shan Family did not show any neglect. He quickly said, "Head of the Yang Family, you're here too."

After saying that, Shan Wuji looked at another old man. This old man's cultivation base had also reached the late stage of the Heavenly Execution Realm. He was the patriarch of the Zhou Family, Zhou Pochuan.

"Patriarch Zhou." Shan Wuji cupped his hands together and greeted him.

Zhou Pochuan also replied, "Clan Head Shan"

The three of them exchanged pleasantries and paid no attention to the people around them.

At this moment, the gazes of the surrounding people were also all cast over. Their gazes landed on the three of them, all carrying traces of strange light.

These three people were the strongest three people in the entire Crimson Alliance Spiritual City. Now that the three of them had appeared together, even just a stamp of their feet would be sufficient to cause the entire Crimson Alliance Spiritual City to tremble.

Ling Jian stood by the side. He did not look at anyone who could do it. However, at this moment, many gazes were gathered over.

At that moment, behind the two Patriarchs, Yang Xueying, Zhou Tiantian, and the cultivators who had come from the Heaven Alliance Spiritual City were all looking at Ling Jian.

Apart from Yang Xueying, the rest of them had seen Ling Jian for the first time, so they could not help but look at him.

"This must be the famous Young Master Ling recently. I've heard that he's a dragon among men, and his reputation is well-deserved after seeing him today."1
