Chapter 928: Clues

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The Zhao Clan was a prominent ancient family. Whether it’s its capabilities or wealth, it was considered top-notch in the East Domain.

The man was the strongest inheritor from the previous generation. His wealth was definitely cushy.

This was why Ling Xian had high expectations. After his soul searched around, he realized that he had highly underestimated this person’s wealth.

There were no spiritual stones, there weren’t any spiritual Dans or other random items. There were merely heavenly materials, materials that were pulsing with energy.

Stone of the Blue Ocean, Stone of the Heavenly Eye, Jade of Crystal Ice… All kinds of heavenly materials were there, spitting with light and blinding Ling Xian.

Without exception, they were top-notch materials that could be used to make heavenly treasures. All of them were worth millions and were extremely rare.

Out of them, was even a fist-sized Stone of the Phoenix’s Blood!

It was circulating with fire and was spitting heavenly clouds. A tiny phoenix’s silhouette was faintly there, fluttering its wings above the stone. It looked very mysterious, out of the world, and intriguing.

This made Ling Xian, who was already interested, even more excited.

The Stone of the Phoenix’s Blood!

This was one of the top-ranked heavenly stones. It was a treasure that any craftsmen would lust after. When crafting, even adding a nailed sized amount of it would help increase the craft by many levels. Its value was priceless!

“He was the greatest inheritor of the Zhao Clan after all. He sure is wealthy.”

Ling Xian had a faint smile on his lips. Ignoring just how valuable this stone was, the other materials were enough to shock him.

Therefore, he was very satisfied.

“Not bad. If everyone who comes to cause me trouble has this amount of wealth, then I would be rich.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He suddenly had hope, hope that the Zhao Clan will come to him again and add to his wealth.

Of course, he knew he wasn’t being realistic. After all, not everyone is like this guy, who has a mountain of wealth.

But the wealth this man has accumulated for hundreds of years is now Ling Xian’s.

“This person sure is interesting. He has nothing else in his storage pouch, only heavenly materials.”

Ling Xian smiled faintly and scanned around the pouch with his soul. He saw that other than expensive materials, there was nothing else.

But these were enough. Remember that good materials are worthy anywhere in the Taoism community. No matter where he goes, they will be useful. If he wants to use them to trade for spiritual stones, any shop would exchange that for him.

“This person is either a craftsman or he has the hobby of collecting valuable materials.”

Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He decided not to inspect them one by one. After all, they were all valuable materials. However, just as he was about to take back his soul, he found a golden invitation in the corner.

This lifted his brows and he took out the invitation.

This invitation was brimming with light. It was made out of the highest quality of spiritual paper. It looked extraordinary. At the bottom left corner, a few black words were printed.

The Auction of a Thousand Treasures.

“An invitation for an auction?” Ling Xian was intrigued. He opened the invitation and read on.

The content was basically that in two and a half months, there will be an auction, where the man was invited to.

Ling Xian chuckled, feeling bored.

However, when he saw the list of items that will be auctioned, his eyes turned heated.

Crown of the Seven-Headed Dragon, Thousand Year Old Dan, Bed of the Cold Jade… all sorts of famous names flashed across his eyes. Every new item he read on heightened his desire.

Because he has heard of all the names listed on the invitation. Without exception, they were all desirable treasures!

“It seems like this auction has some power. They have treasures of this caliber and they are willing to auction them off.”

Ling Xian’s eyes revealed much surprise. He didn’t think there would be so many good items at this auction.

To know that every individual item from the auction list can generate a bloody storm. This year’s auction had so many rare treasures…. Just how capable did they have to be to achieve that?

“The Auction of a Thousand Treasures… interesting.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up as he became even more interested. As he continued reading, a familiar name reflected in his eyes that made him instantly decide to go to this auction.

Because the name of it was the Lock of Eternity.

The Lock that has sealed Gong Suo Xin’s talent and made her forever stuck at the foundational level!

Therefore, the moment he saw these words, his eyes exploded with light and he instantly made a decision.

Go!

He had to go!

Gong Suo Xin has helped him out so much and gave up half the Lake of the Resting Soul despite the tremendous duress she would be soon under. Just how much did she help him out!

Now that Ling Xian had caught a clue about the Lock of Eternity, naturally he has to go and see for himself. No matter what, he had to go.

“The Auction is located at the Central Terrain, it’s on my way.”

Ling Xian smiled. He took the invitation and the storage pouch into his own and then he walked over to the resting Huang Jiu Ge.

Sensing his presence, Huang Jiu Ge opened her eyes. Her eyes were no longer so dim but had regained some shine.

“How do you feel?” Ling Xian asked.

“Much better. Master, your alchemy skill has improved again.”

Huang Jiu Ge stood up and her face appeared worried. “Master, those people were here for revenge.”

“It doesn’t matter. They were just a rival clan.”

Ling Xian waved his hand, “Though they are capable, I am not weak. Do not worry.”

“I have always been confident about you.” Huang Jiu Ge smiled tenderly.

“Then, let us go, let’s head to Central Terrain”

Ling Xian grinned and he looked afar into the sky with anticipation in his eyes.

He was looking forward to the Lock of Eternity and the Competition of the Heaven’s Favorites.

“Okay.”

Huang Jiu Ge nodded and transformed back to her original form. She then leaped into the air.

Ling Xian hopped onto her back.

Whoosh!

Huang Jiu Ge expanded her wings and dashed across the sky with Ling Xian on her back. They were headed towards Central Terrain.

…

Tianzhou is rich in land and is divided into five areas. Every single area is extremely large and is equivalent to a Yunzhou.

Out of them, the Central Terrain is the largest.

This location is the richest and most flourishing part of Tianzhou. Whether it is the resources or the spiritual energy, it is better than the other areas.

Here is the busiest and wealthiest area of Tianzhou.

Especially since the Palace of Heaven’s Favorites announced that a competition for the Heaven’s Favorites will happen soon, the Central Terrain, became even more clamorous.

Countless people came for the show. Other than the Heaven’s Favorites who came for the competition, those who have always wanted to enter Tianzhou but couldn’t, came to visit as well.

Because of this, the population of this place had increased rapidly and was now even worrisome.

However, to shops and vendors, this was a great opportunity to get rich. Because the more people there are, the more demand there will be.

Therefore, many vendors decided to use this opportunity to host auctions and get rich.

Out of all these vendors, the Auction of a Thousand Treasures was without a doubt, the most dazzling and the most anticipated.

The list of auction items alone was enough to melt everyone’s hearts.

Ling Xian was no exception.

Therefore, after two months of traveling with Huang Jiu Ge, they finally arrived at the Auction of a Thousand Treasures before it started.
