Chapter 234: Chapter 200 Memory Gem_2 The audience on the first floor could hear a collective gasp. It had to be said that spirit coins represented a massive fortune. The usual copper, silver, and gold coins were crafted from metal, whereas the elf coins were made from magic gemstones infused with the spiritual power of experts who had unlocked the Middle Dantian. A noble family named the Deng Family, specialized in various industrial productions throughout Liluo City, had an annual income equivalent to fifty gold coins, with more than half spent on salaries and other expenses. Only about twenty spirit coins entered the national treasury each year. Four guards entered the stage, carrying between them a transparent box and a wooden cushion, upon which lay a low-grade Memory Stone set on a red pillow inside a jade box. When they observed the white mist swirling within the seemingly ordinary black gemstone, a greedy glint appeared in everyone’s eyes. The body of the jade shell was massive wood, engraved with various magical inscriptions to protect the item. These cases containing Memory Gems could only be opened by the manager himself, and should someone attempt to abduct him and the Memory Stone, it was evident that other attending guests would prevent it from happening. "Fifteen spirit gold coins!" A Deng family member suddenly began the bidding, only to be immediately outbid by Lord Rong Liang. "Twenty gold coins," came a steady voice drifting from the City Lord’s balcony. The Deng Family and the Rong Family were relentlessly vying for martial arts skills, with no other families involved in the bidding. The Wang Family didn’t even make a bid once. Yan Xiaobao had been watching the entire bidding war, noticing that Lord Rong Liang was merely bidding on behalf of those mysterious, shadowy, black-clad figures. "No one else? 250 spirit coins going once... 250 spirit gold coins going twice... sold to our own City Lord, Lord Rong Liang, for 250 spirit coins." The manager clenched his hand as the bid concluded at an extremely high price, thinking that the Deng Family alone offered 200 soul coins, which showed how interested they were in these skills, but ultimately even they had to give up. One of the black-clad men stood up, leaving the balcony once the result was announced. Yan Xiaobao thought this man would be paying for the newly acquired skill. Seeing that Rong Liang had purchased these skills, Yan Xiaobao felt a little conflicted. The price was truly extravagant. Should be no issue, he thought to himself, it seems as if it was purchased by the black-clad men rather than Rong Liang. Even for him, it’s not my concern. However, supposing it was indeed these shadowy figures who bought the skill, their actions did not seem as unusual as they implied. Yan Xiaobao’s impression was that these people wouldn’t be trifled with, convinced they were affiliated with the Royal Family. Who else could support such wealthy and respectable experts? "We will now move onto the next skill," the manager continued while clapping his hands, prompting eight guards to enter with another transparent jade box, which contained a gemstone identical to the one previously seen. "The skill we are displaying here is a middle-level King’s skill called Spiritual Tsunami. It is a spiritual skill that requires an affinity with water and will evoke an attack just like the previous skill. It unleashes the entire spiritual cultivation base in a devastating tsunami that destroys enemies. In desperate situations, this is the skill you want!" The manager advertised while glancing around, knowing this skill would surely fetch a higher price than before. In this city, quarrels between noble families frequently occurred, with these families wielding the highest prestige rank. For the top-ranking King’s Experts, most of their time was spent on cultivation, leaving them no time to create their own skills. Hence, purchasing a skill capable of abandoning their entire cultivation base would be seen as the ultimate attack, sparing themselves the time from cultivation aspects. "Two hundred spirit gold coins!" A Wang family member shouted before the manager had time to propose the starting price, but the manager did not feel upset, rather understanding he must strike while the iron is hot. "Two hundred spirit gold coins have been bid, who will say two hundred and fifty spirit gold coins? The Deng Family? The Deng Family has offered two hundred and fifty spirit coins," "Four hundred gold coins," a calm voice came from Lord Rong Liang’s balcony once again, surprising Yan Xiaobao with his expressionless face. "Four hundred and fifty," the Deng family bid, but the bidder gritted his teeth, evidently unhappy about the high price. "Five hundred and five spirit gold coins," Lord Rong Liang said again with a calm voice, this time silencing everyone. "We have a proposal of five hundred and fifty spirit coins," the manager began as he noticed a lack of other bids, "five hundred and fifty spirit coins going once... five hundred and fifty spirit coins going twice... sold to Lord Rong Liang for five hundred and fifty spirit coins." Whispers quickly spread throughout the room, filling every corner and crevice. For two skills, the City Lord’s mansion had just paid a total of 710 spirit coins. With such an extreme sum of money, anyone who acquired it could retire, kick back, and live a life of luxury. Yan Xiaobao leaned back, feeling very satisfied with the result. He was also certain that Lan Feng would be pleased with their price. Even though many could have lived long lives with this money, Lan Feng had warned Yan Xiaobao that a cultivator’s life was expensive. For future pills or magical items, he’d need to spend a large amount of money. "Sorry, Li, please follow me to the manager’s office to receive your money." After the room emptied, a waiter finally appeared, and Yan Xiaobao stood up immediately, following the waiter to the third floor. Upon entering the room, Yan Xiaobao immediately met a bowing manager, who led "Li Fen" to sit in the chair she was seated in. The manager crafted a small golden stone, handing it to Yan Xiaobao, who looked at it curiously. Fortunately, the manager quickly began to explain. "This is a specially crafted Memory Stone, ranked by our own king among the experts of the Ma family. It currently contains your seven hundred and ten spirit gold coins, but it hasn’t been combined with Qi yet, so I suggest you do so." "We’re very grateful for you using our service, and we haven’t charged any fees for handling your order. Handling this order has given us great prestige, and we’ve already made our money back from selling tickets to this auction. Should you wish to sell in the future, we would be honored for your esteemed master to return to us." Yan Xiaobao turned around and noddingly left the room. Lan Feng had maintained this aura for a long time, and Yan Xiaobao knew they had reached the limit of how long two auras could merge. Yan Xiaobao quickly left the Black Market Auction House in the summer breeze, rushing down the street before he realized something was off. The auction had just ended. Before, the auction house was crowded with people, but as soon as Yan Xiaobao exited the door, he hadn’t seen a single person, not even the guards who should have been patrolling the area. Yan Xiaobao gritted his teeth, increasing his pace, and rushed through the town, trying to reach the inn as quickly as possible. However, the city had turned into a maze, the alleys and roads changed their appearance in front of him, and although it was now morning, the moon and stars above gave no light. Yan Xiaobao was trapped in complete darkness, sensing how a group of experts was following him. Senior Experts. As Yan Xiaobao turned a corner, he caught a blurry image flying past his eyes, and suddenly, three men stood in front of him, blocking his path. As Yan Xiaobao was forced to stop, four men appeared behind him. "I can’t hold back for long," Lan Feng spoke from the depths of Yan Xiaobao’s Qi Cave with gritted teeth. The previously warm summer night had become a frigid gale, piercing through Yan Xiaobao’s skin as if containing icicles. The usually indifferent expression was now alert, his eyes glimmering. Yan Xiaobao took a few steps back, ensuring all seven men were within his line of sight. Taking a defensive stance, Yan Xiaobao observed the men before him more closely than before. Their black cloaks were made of shining material, with black inscriptions woven into them, emitting a silvery glow. These black inscriptions seemed to release some form of spiritual power, causing the air around the men to ripple slightly. However, these men were entirely shrouded by their cloaks, not even a patch of skin visible. From their hoods, no light could be seen nor any breathing heard. Even with careful observation of these shadowy figures, Yan Xiaobao was unable to perceive the slightest hint of cultivation base from within. Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath, forcing his body to calm down. In the depths of his Qi Deep was a majestic swirling core, containing the essence that had been refined over many years into a high-quality aura. ...
