"Young Master, the items you auctioned have arrived." Chen Jin entered, bringing all the items that Ning Feng had auctioned, placing them into the spatial ring.
"Very good, this is the Golden Spirit Stone Card; the spirit stones inside should be sufficient." The old man, who had been silently drinking on the side, took it and then tossed four golden cards over.
"Thank you!" Chen Jin looked at the golden Spirit Stone Card in his hand, his expression changed, and he immediately received it respectfully. He knew that those who could use Spirit Stone Cards were also individuals of great status. Moreover, their background was incredibly wealthy.
"Four hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones; Brother Ning is quite generous, making others envious! However, Brother Ning doesn't seem like someone who lacks these things!" Ren Pingsheng smiled and shook his head as he asked. He had just inquired about the Demon Emperor and learned that the so-called Spirit Stone Card was for convenience in carrying and exchanging spirit stones. Some powerful merchant guilds that spanned other domains would adopt such methods.
The Spirit Stone Cards are divided into five levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Diamond. The first three represent low, medium, and high-grade spirit stones respectively at one million each; the Gold Spirit Stone Card represents one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, while the Diamond level represents one million top-grade spirit stones.
"Haha, why would Brother Ren make fun of me! I came to Jiangzhou this time to visit a friend; I don’t know what kind of sect or organization he has established, so I came to take a look. It wouldn’t be right to go empty-handed, so..." Ning Feng's words were left unfinished, but the implication was clear. Although Ren Pingsheng appeared calm on the surface, he was inwardly amazed; this was indeed a significant expenditure of several tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones.
"I see; it seems this friend of yours is not ordinary. Brother Ning has gathered so many treasures; you must be careful of unscrupulous individuals when you leave!"
"No worries; I'm more afraid they won’t come. If they do come, I’ll naturally teach them a lesson. Brother Ren, would you like to join me? The One-Pin Hall probably hates you quite a bit now!"
"The One-Pin Hall? Their troubles are likely considerable; they won't have time to bother with me," Ren Pingsheng said dismissively. "Brother Ning, I’m about to leave here; do you have something to store this fine wine?"
"One drink is enough; you should keep the rest of the fine wine! Consider it a gift from me." Ning Feng shook his head and declined the jade gourd that Ren Pingsheng offered.
"Oh, in that case, thank you very much. I’m afraid there will be quite a show outside Jiangzhou City now; I’ll take my leave here. Next time we meet, I’ll treat Brother Ning to taste my personally brewed fine wine."
"Haha, great! I didn’t expect Brother Ren could brew wine; I’ll remember that—don’t forget when the time comes." The two chatted and laughed as they walked out of the VIP Room No. 1. At this moment, many people in the VIP room had already left.
"Creak..." At this time, the door of VIP Room No. 2 also opened, and four people walked out: two old men and two young men. Among the two young men was one whom Ren Pingsheng recognized—it was Hu Xiao, whom he had encountered during a fierce battle at Wan Yao Mountain.
"Hmm!" Ren Pingsheng was only slightly surprised before looking at the other young man. At this moment, Yin Tian was glaring at Ren Pingsheng and Ning Feng with hatred because they had both exited from VIP Room No. 1 together. He didn’t know which one had tricked him into spending an extra three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones.
The two groups merely exchanged glances for a few seconds before turning away from each other. Ren Pingsheng and Ning Feng parted ways at the entrance of Jubaolou; they went in different directions—one heading east and the other west.
Ren Pingsheng, holding the still-sleeping Yi Qingyi, returned to the Inn. After resting for about a quarter of an hour, he managed to dissipate the alcohol's effects on her. Watching Yi Qingyi wake up, he smiled and said, "Qingyi, let's go. We've finished exploring here; let's see better places."
"Okay, let's hurry and go!" Once the effects of the alcohol wore off, she immediately cheered up. She felt that life was very pleasant now—there was food, fun, and company. How could she possibly want anything else?
"I noticed something was off with you just now. Do you know those people in the VIP room?" After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Yin Tian asked Tiger's Roar bluntly.
Tiger's Roar glanced at him and after a while replied indifferently, "I do know that man holding a woman; I've battled him before. I didn't expect to see him here. Well, since the auction is over, I'll take my leave. Just make sure that Azure Dragon Token doesn't get snatched away in this city."
"Hmph, you're worrying too much. Who would dare be so bold as to act in Jiangzhou City?" He coldly snorted as he watched Tiger's Roar walk away. It was clear that their relationship wasn't particularly good.
Little did he know that as soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly dashed out from the side at incredible speed. Yin Tian didn't even have time to react before he was struck and flew out, spitting blood.
"How dare you attack Young Master!" The two elders who had been guarding him quickly sprang into action. The two black-clad assailants were both of Zongji Jing's cultivation level; one of them was taken down in an instant by Elder Xing, who revealed himself to be a King-Level Expert.
"Zhan Hall Master, leave this to me. First protect Young Master and get him back; more powerful foes are coming," Elder Xing waved his hands, and the other black-clad assailant didn't even have a chance to fight back before being eliminated.
"Young Master, follow me!" Zhan Hall Master shouted loudly as he led the way quickly towards One-Pin Hall's base in the city. However, Elder Xing was blocked by another black-clad person of equal cultivation level, leading to an intense battle between the two King-Level Experts.
"Young Master, we're here." Jiangzhou City truly lived up to being One-Pin Hall's stronghold; within just a minute, groups of disciples and elders rushed over. They formed a protective circle around Yin Tian, preventing those who had attacked from succeeding.
"Hmph, how bold to act in Jiangzhou City." A cold snort echoed from the Void like thunder. Then a figure appeared in mid-air; with a gentle press of his hand, most of the attacking black-clad individuals were turned into blood without even a scream.
Only a few King-Level Experts groaned softly before using a Secret Technique to escape and vanish within the city. The figure did not pursue them but allowed them to leave.
Seeing that there was no longer any danger, Yin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief and then whispered to the two elders beside him: "You each take a team; one goes to Xi Men to capture a man and a woman—the man in green clothes and the woman in white clothes. The other goes to the East Gate to capture an old man and a young man—the old man in gray clothes and the young man in purple clothes. After killing them, remember to bring back their Spatial Rings."
"Yes, Young Master, don't worry!" One elder nodded and quietly left with two disciples. It seemed that Yin Tian still had his eyes on those Supreme Spirit Stones. However, he didn’t know whose possession they were in when he devised such a plan. This way he could both resolve his grievances and obtain a large batch of Spirit Stones.
After Ning Feng and his companion exited through the East Gate, they hadn't gone far before someone stopped them. As a VIP ranked thirty, many recognized him; everyone knew he carried a large amount of Treasure on him—just one item would make others envious. How could they let such an opportunity slip by?
Among them were Mei Longjiang, the lord of Yuzhou City, and his son Mei Xinyuan; they were being cautious and stayed far behind, watching others test the waters first.
"Father, the Clear Soul Pill is on them. When should we make our move?" Mei Xinyuan said, his eyes filled with greed. It is known that many of the treasures on Ning Feng made him drool.
"There's no rush. Let those fools test the waters first, and then we will act," Mei Longjiang replied cautiously. At this moment, Ning Feng and Uncle Fu were surrounded by a group of people, yet they remained calm. The strength displayed by Uncle Fu revealed that he was also a King-Level Expert. Those lower-level robbers were out of luck, not even able to stir up a ripple before losing their lives.
"Hmph, overestimating themselves!" Suddenly, a cold gaze from Uncle Fu swept over, and with a wave of his hand, the entire world seemed to collapse. At this moment, three figures appeared, one of whom was unexpectedly Mei Longjiang; he had also made his move. The other two were also King-Level Experts, all targeting Ning Feng.
"Ah... Emperor-Level Expert, run..." The three screamed in horror, completely losing their previous King-Level Expert bravado as they fled with serious injuries without looking back. The remaining robbers were all reduced to mere scraps of flesh, disappearing without a trace, including several sent after Ning Feng by First-Grade Hall Young Master Yin Tian.
A similar battle was occurring near Jiangzhou City. Close to a thousand treasures were involved, and many people had managed to acquire several items. Naturally, those martial artists without financial means felt envy and resentment, leading to the subsequent pursuit and robbery after the auction.
In fact, many who purchased treasures were aware that such pursuits would occur; some concealed their tracks while others left early. Unfortunately, some were still discovered. Not only did they lose their treasures, but some even lost their lives. The competition for resources and treasures illustrates the cruelty of cultivation.
Ren Pingsheng and Yi Qingyi exited Xi Men and headed straight westward. Southern State lay to the west of Jiangzhou; he needed to travel west to reach it. As for why he wanted to go to Southern State, it was because Southern State was the largest and most prosperous state in the Southern Region, and also because Azure Dragon Hall would appear in Southern State three years later—his goal was Azure Dragon Hall.
It can be said that his trip to Jiangzhou Auction yielded significant rewards. Not only did he acquire brewing materials, but he also discovered Geng Metal. More importantly, he realized that the token he obtained in Sword King Tomb's Inheritance Tower was actually the Azure Dragon Token.
When he saw an identical token at the auction, he was completely stunned. The coincidence was so incredible that it was hard to believe. If he hadn’t come to Southern Region or participated in this auction, he would never have learned about the Azure Dragon Token.
This is also why he had given up on the Azure Dragon Token at that time—because he already possessed one.
"Oh, I never expected someone would be targeting me; it's truly unbelievable. I shouldn't have anything valuable on me, could it be they are after my fine wine?" Ren Pingsheng chuckled self-deprecatingly as his eyes fixed on five figures in black appearing ahead of him outside Jiangzhou City.
