nTranslator: Daoist6fubtiW

nVery quickly.

nA month passed.

nWithin this month, Chen Daoxuan discovered that the number of itinerant cultivators and clan disciples in Guang ‘an Prefecture had increased significantly.

nEspecially in the past three days.

nHe knew that most of these clan disciples had rushed over to participate in the Zhou Clan Auction House’s grand auction.

nIn reality.

nNot only did the Zhou Clan hold an auction, but the various shops in the core business district and the wandering cultivator market were also filled with all kinds of goods.

nThanks to the arrival of the frontline transport ship.

nThe prices of various cultivation resources in Guang ‘an Prefecture had dropped significantly.

nThe decrease in the price of the flying swords in the Rainbow Sonar Flying Sword Shop wasn’t an exception.

nWu Clan’s Precious Tool Pavilion, Zhou Clan’s Elixir Store, Zhao Clan’s Spirit Medicine Store, and even Yang Clan’s Boat Store all started to sell their goods at a reduced price.

nThe entire Guang ’an Prefecture was in a festive mood.

nIn the central business district.

nZhou Auction House.

nAt this moment, the entire street where the Zhou Clan Auction House was located was sealed off by the Zhou Clan’s law enforcement team.

nSome of the rogue cultivators who wanted to watch the show could only stretch their heads out to look at this scene.

nAs for any ignorant rogue cultivator who wanted to go in and see the world, the Zhou family’s law enforcement team would let him know how cruel the consequences of causing trouble were.

nOf course.

nThe rogue cultivator here referred to the lianqi rogue cultivator.

nIf a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to enter, they wouldn’t encounter any obstruction.

nHe walked up to a cultivator from the Zhou Clan.

nChen Daoxuan took out a gold-inlaid invitation and handed it over.

n” So it’s Fellow Daoist Chen from Twin Lake Island. Please come in!”

nThe Zhou Clan cultivator smiled and made an inviting gesture.

nThis law enforcement team cultivator had obviously heard of the Chen family of Twin Lake Island, which had recently become famous in the wandering cultivator market.

nChen Xianhe and Chen Daoxuan walked into the main hall of the auction house easily.

nThey entered the main venue.

nEven Chen Daoxuan was shocked by the Zhou Family’s extravagance.

nThe auction hall before him was divided into three floors. Each floor had an area of more than 10,000 square meters.

nEach floor was divided into small private rooms like an auction branch.

nAlthough the Chen family had risen to fame, they were only a Qi Refinement family after all. Therefore, they were assigned to the C booth on the first floor.

nAt the second level.

nThe private rooms were much fewer and more spacious. They were arranged for the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Guang ‘an Prefecture and other prefectures in Cangzhou.

nAnd so on. The third floor was where the Zifu clan cultivators were.

nThe Zhou Clan cultivators were all in the third-floor box.

nAs soon as he entered the venue, Chen Daoxuan saw a person he had met a month ago.

nYang Gongwan was currently surrounded by the crowd of Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yang Family.

nAs a newly ascended Zifu Clan, especially the Chief of the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance, the Yang Clan naturally received extraordinary treatment.

nNot only was he arranged to be in a private room on the third floor, but the Zhou family had even sent a heavyweight to welcome him.

n“Zhou Mubai!”

nYang Gongwan looked at the white-robed cultivator with a complicated expression.

nShe had always thought highly of herself.

nYang Gongwan was confident that even if she was born in the Qianyuan Sword Sect, she would definitely become a personal disciple.

nHowever, in front of Zhou Mubai, a prodigy of Guang ‘an Prefecture, she felt that she was inexplicably inferior.

nThis was not only the psychological gap brought about by their family power.

nMore importantly, Zhou Mubai’s talent in swordplay was too shocking.

nHe had comprehended sword intent at the Foundation Establishment stage and became a sword cultivator. He was ranked on the Sons of Heaven Rankings in the Infinite Star Sea.

nYang Gongwan had been suppressing her cultivation level. She had not broken through to the Purple Mansion Stage because she wanted to comprehend sword intent at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

nIn this way, she could transform her vital essence into sword essence and become a sword cultivator.

nOtherwise, if he comprehended sword intent after breaking through to the Zifu stage, he would lose the opportunity to refine his true essence with sword intent. From then on, the quality of his magic power would be weaker than sword cultivators of the same level.

nOne step behind, one step behind.

nYang Wanrong knew this very well.

nTherefore, she ignored her grandfather’s objection and desperately tried to comprehend sword essence in the foundation establishment stage.

nHowever, the more impatient Yang Gongwan was, the more she was unable to comprehend the sword intent.

n“Fairy Yang, long time no see. How have you been?”

nZhou Mubai cupped his hands and greeted them with a smile.

n“Thanks to Young Master Zhou, I’m living very well.”

nYang Gongwan emphasized the word ‘very good’, which made Zhou Mubai feel a little awkward.

nThe Zhou Family was in a heated discussion about the Yang Family joining forces with the other major families of Guang ‘an Prefecture to form the Guang’ an Immortal Alliance.

nSome of the more radical factions said that they might as well kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and teach those small families who dared to join the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance a lesson.

nThere were also those who were more moderate and advocated for the small families in Guang ‘an Prefecture to be roped in, especially those neutral families who were not in a hurry to take sides.

nZhou Mubai belonged to the latter.

nHe was very opposed to the Zhou family’s domineering behavior.

nIn Zhou Mubai’s eyes, the Zhou family’s domineering behavior was no different from the Ye family in the past.

nAnd the Ye family was the family that Zhou Mubai hated the most.

nBecause his younger brother was indirectly killed by Ye Wudao, the ancestor of the Ye Family.

nThe two of them exchanged pleasantries.

nYang Gongwan brought her clansmen upstairs.

nWhen she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of Chen Daoxuan, who had just entered the venue, and couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.

nFairy Yang, what’s wrong? ”

nZhou Mubai asked in surprise.

n“It’s nothing.”

nYang Gongwan shook her head and headed upstairs.

nZhou Mubai followed Yang Gongwan’s gaze and saw Chen Daoxuan and Chen Xianhe.

nHe thought about it.

nHe sent a voice transmission to a disciple of the Zhou clan, “”Help me check on those two people.”

n“Yes, Young Clan Leader!”

nThe Zhou disciple immediately obeyed.

nSitting in the private room.

nChen Daoxuan calmed himself down and silently waited for the auction to begin.

nTwo hours later.

nThe auction finally began.

nThe person hosting this auction wasn’t the old man Chen Daoxuan met last time, but a man and a woman from the Zhou Clan.

nMoreover, these two were both at the late stage of the foundation establishment realm.

nThe host of this auction was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

nOne could imagine how extravagant the Zhou family was.

nThe two of them started off with a familiar introduction.

nThe auction officially began.

n” The first item to be auctioned today is an inheritance jade slip seized from the battlefield in the Yun Nation.”

nHearing that the first item was an inheritance jade slip, everyone became spirited.

nInheritance jade slips weren’t commonly seen in auctions.

nUsually, very few families would be willing to sell something that could increase the foundation of their families.

nHe seemed to have sensed the excitement of the crowd.

nThe voices of the two hosts became even louder.

n“This inheritance jade slip contains the method to refine a Level One life-bound magic tool.”

nEven though it was a life-bound magic tool, everyone’s mood still dropped a lot when they heard that it was a Level One magic tool.

n” However, this level one magic tool is not an ordinary offensive magic tool. It is a rare defensive magic tool, and it is the most precious spiritual armor type magic tool among defensive magic tools!”

n“Boom!”

nHearing this.

nThe audience was in an uproar.

nAmong all the defensive magic tools, spirit armor magic tools were the most precious.

nThis conclusion was made during the four-hundred-year war between the Infinite Star Sea and the Yun Nation.

nIn the past, defensive magic tools could be divided into shield-shaped, bell-shaped, and other types.

nHowever, as the war between the two sides continued, the cultivators of the Infinite Star Sea and the Yun Nation found that the shield-type and bowl-type defensive magical equipment were far less practical than the spiritual armor magical equipment.

nThis was because shield-shaped magic tools and bowl-shaped magic tools required cultivators to use their spiritual sense to control them in order to block the enemy’s attacks.

nHowever, there would be a problem if the enemy’s flying sword was fast enough and found the weak point of the shield-shaped or bell-shaped magic artifact, such as attacking from behind or below.

nIt was very difficult for cultivators to guard against it.

nHowever, the spirit armor magic tools that covered the entire body of the cultivator did not have this problem.

nAs long as a cultivator wore a ling armor that covered their entire body, they did not need to use their divine sense. They only needed to infuse their true qi, and the ling armor would provide comprehensive protection for the cultivator. It was very convenient.

nAt this time, unless the enemy broke through the ling armor, it was absolutely impossible to harm the cultivator’s body..
