Chapter 2256: Auction House!

Chapter 2256: Chapter 2256: Auction House!

Under the young man’s guidance, Zhou Yu returned to the island where the Heaven Puppet Clan resided.

Wan Sheng arranged a very nice courtyard for Zhou Yu, with no one else within a thousand miles.

This was quite a good treatment by Heaven Puppet Clan’s standards.

Zhou Yu inspected the surrounding environment and then showed a satisfied expression.

As per custom, Zhou Yu personally set up array flags around the residence.

While this couldn’t hold back top experts, it could serve as an early warning.

Having completed all that, Zhou Yu planned to continue browsing the shops in the city center.

Just as he walked out of his residence, suddenly, a flash of white light came flying from afar.

Soon, the white light landed right in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow at the sight of a middle-aged man with iron-blue skin.

The man approached Zhou Yu with a smile and said:

"I am Fu Jian from the Qingxuan Clan."

"I think it’s the first time I’m seeing you here, fellow Daoist."

"Are you just arriving here?"

Seeing this man’s friendly face, Zhou Yu politely replied:

"Yes, I just moved here."

Fu Jian looked Zhou Yu up and down.

"You must be part of the Human Race."

"I heard a member of the Human Race activated the World Order in the city yesterday."

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be you, Daoist."

The commotion yesterday was indeed quite large and had already spread throughout the city.

Therefore, being recognized didn’t surprise Zhou Yu at all.

"Yes, that was indeed me."

Upon hearing this, Fu Jian chuckled and said:

"Judging by your current state, you must have already negotiated with Wan Sheng."

"Our Qingxuan Clan is a vassal of the Heaven Puppet Clan, and can be considered part of it."

"This time, the Ancient Realm is opening, and I will likely represent Qingxuan Clan in entering. I hope you’ll take care of me then, Daoist."

"May I know how to address you?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu understood.

Fu Jian randomly encountered him, and most likely had gotten news and was waiting here for him.

He was trying to cozy up.

For such people, Zhou Yu naturally didn’t refuse.

Getting to know more people had its advantages for him.

Zhou Yu replied with a smile:

"My last name is Zhou."

"So you’re Daoist Zhou then."

"Do you know where you’re headed, Daoist Zhou? If our paths align, perhaps we can travel together."

Zhou Yu answered lightly:

"I have no destination, just wandering around."

Hearing this, Fu Jian suddenly smiled and said:

"Are you interested in auctions, Daoist Zhou?"

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Of course, I’m interested."

"Why?"

"Is there an auction?"

Fu Jian said with a smile:

"Yes."

"I’m about to attend an auction."

"This auction is jointly organized by eight major clans among the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans friendly with the Heaven Puppet Clan, also known as the Eight Clans Auction."

"Originally, the Eight Clans Auction was held every one hundred years."

"But now, with the Divine Horn Clan preparing for a large-scale attack and the war looming, the auction is held earlier."

"It’s said that a Ten Thousand Spirit Pill will be auctioned this time."

"This Ten Thousand Spirit Pill is an excellent auxiliary pill medicine for a Void Refinement Realm breakthrough in cultivation."

"Extremely precious."

"And even among the Black Cloud Twenty-eight Clans, it hasn’t appeared for nearly a thousand years."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu revealed a surprised expression.

He had read about the Ten Thousand Spirit Pill’s name in ancient texts before.

Zhou Yu, currently in the Void Refinement Realm, was naturally quite interested in the Ten Thousand Spirit Pill.

Of course, he was even more interested in the elixir recipe for the Ten Thousand Spirit Pill.

After all, he himself was an Alchemist.

If he could obtain the elixir recipe, he could have as many Ten Thousand Spirit Pills as he wanted.

Zhou Yu’s interest was immediately piqued.

"If such a pill really exists, I would also like to see it."

Fu Jian laughed and said:

"Haha, then let’s go together, Daoist."

"I happen to have an invitation card."

"Without an invitation card, no one outside the Eight Clans can enter."

Zhou Yu immediately clasped his hands in thanks:

"Then thank you, Daoist."

Afterwards, under Fu Jian’s guidance, Zhou Yu and he headed directly to a distinctive building in the city.

This building was something Zhou Yu had seen on the map before.

And it left a deep impression.

Mostly because of the design of this building.

The lower part of the building was a square high platform.

While the upper part was a tall tower resembling a sacrificial tower.

More strikingly, the top of this building was circled by an array emitting yellow spiritual light.

Such a heavily guarded place was rare in Black Cloud City.

Moreover, there were no less than a hundred Divinity Transformation Realm level puppets guarding around this building.

Currently, there were two Void Refinement Realm experts guarding the entrance of the platform.

And many people were hurrying from all directions, swiftly entering.

At this moment, Fu Jian smiled and said:

"Daoist Zhou, we have arrived."

"Please proceed."

Zhou Yu nodded, then walked in with Fu Jian.

With Fu Jian leading, they went in smoothly.

Quickly, Zhou Yu entered the building.

Unexpectedly, the inside of the platform was a spacious hall, surrounded by many side halls.

The entire hall was bustling with people, creating a lively scene.

Fu Jian smiled and said:

"Daoist Zhou, I need to go to the side to exchange some Spirit Stones for the auction."

"If you also want to participate in the auction, I suggest you prepare some Spirit Stones."

Hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled immediately and said:

"Thank you, Daoist, for the reminder."

"Then I’ll join you in taking a look."

"Sure."

"This way, please."

Fu Jian led Zhou Yu to one of the side halls.

Inside this side hall, there were quite a few shops, and some stall trading places.

Moreover, people were even more dense here.

Many were loudly bargaining.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

"Is this where people exchange Spirit Stones?"

"Why does it look like a market to me?"

Fu Jian smiled and said:

"Daoist Zhou, you may not know."

"Actually, the auction has a high threshold, and most people’s wealth is insufficient to participate in the bidding."

"So, they hold a small trade fair here."

"Anyone in need can exchange Spirit Stones here."

"Of course, those who have Spirit Stones can take the opportunity to purchase some needed treasures here."

"Don’t underestimate this trade fair."

"People often find top treasures here."

"Those top treasures are not inferior to items in the auction."

"It’s due to these reasons that this place is so prosperous."

Upon hearing Fu Jian’s explanation, Zhou Yu came to realize.

"Right, Daoist Zhou, if you have items you wish to sell, you can sell them here."

"Rest assured, everything can be bought and sold here."

Fu Jian specifically reminded Zhou Yu.

Afterward, he said:

"Well, Daoist Zhou, I won’t accompany you anymore."

"Let’s meet at the entrance in three hours."

After saying that, Fu Jian cheerfully left.
