Chapter 158 Jiuzhou Auction House
She told Xie Liuyin to wait, but in fact she didn't have to wait long. A bamboo tube was quietly passed out of the hole where she had stuffed Xiao Ling before.
Xie Liuyin knew the rules here, and quickly stepped forward and took out a small note from the bamboo tube.
There were only a few simple words written on it - Quege City, Jiuzhou Auction.
After writing down the words on the paper, Xie Liuyin used his spiritual power to shatter the paper in front of the man behind the scenes.
This is the rule of "Ting Tianxia". Nothing in the store is allowed to be taken out, including the piece of paper with the message on it.
After doing all this, Xie Liuyin put the bamboo tube back, said thank you softly, and turned to leave.
When he first entered the world of cultivation, Xie Liuyin learned from Xianyue that the current world of cultivation is dominated by the six major sects and eight main cities.
Among them, Quege City is one of the eight main city forces, but compared to Yuxing City where Princess Luo is located, Quege City is not so strong, but is famous in the cultivation world for its wealth.
Quege City can be regarded as the most merchant-friendly city in the world. There are countless merchants in the city and it is very prosperous. Anything that a cultivator can think of can be bought there.
It is said that even some precious demon blood can be found in the underground black market there.
The mayor of Quege City is also a complete money-grubber, and his reputation is that of a man who would die for spirit stones.
Xie Liuyin had never seen the city lord, nor did she know whether the rumors were true or not. She only knew that the largest auction in the cultivation world was in Quege City.
Recalling the news I just saw, I thought that among the treasures that the famous Jiuzhou Auction House is about to auction, the Five Elements Spirit Crystal will be one of them.
“Tsk, I thought it wouldn’t cost that many spirit stones to gain experience this time, but I didn’t expect that I would have to spend money at an auction.” Xie Liuyin shook his head helplessly.
Yun Xuan, who had not dared to go into "Listening to the World" with her just now and was waiting for her at the door, heard this and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, your master has a lot of spirit stones, so you won't feel bad about spending his spirit stones."
Xie Liuyin smiled when he heard this: "That's true."
However, she also had quite a few spirit stones in her own storage bag. It was not only the monthly salary given to her by the Qingxiao Sect, but also the pocket money that Xianyue gave her from time to time, as well as the gains she had obtained in the Juelan Secret Realm, which were later exchanged for spirit stones.
Xie Liuyin weighed it over and decided not to use the spirit stones that Xianyue had stored in the bank for the time being. Her top priority should be to enter Quege City and find a way to get the invitation to the Jiuzhou Auction.
Having made up her mind, Xie Liuyin did not intend to waste time. She quickly left Yuecheng, took a palm-sized Phoenix Blood Stone that the steward had specially stuffed into her hand, and turned around and headed straight for Quege City.
The man and the ghost cultivator did not experience much delay on the journey and arrived at Quege City in just five days.
The city wall of Quege City is tall and majestic. From a distance, it does not look like a city wall at all. Instead, it looks more like a continuous mountain range.
Xie Liuyin couldn't help but stand outside the city and take a few more glances, and sighed deeply, it was worthy of being one of the eight main cities, it was indeed magnificent.
After passing through the thick city wall, Xie Liuyin finally paid an entrance fee of ten spirit stones.
But she had already known this for a long time. Quege City was rich, and the city lord was a greedy man.
There is a rumor in the cultivation world that any bird that enters Quege City will drop a few feathers for the city lord.
Therefore, it only takes ten spirit stones to enter the city, and Xie Liuyin even feels that it is a little too little.
Walking into the city, the noisy sound quickly reached Xie Liuyin's ears.
She looked around and saw vendors everywhere. They were selling everything, including demon fur, demon beast pills, various medicinal herbs, and even bloody robes. Some people dared to sell them openly.
However, the man selling the bloody vestments was soon discovered by the patrolling city guards, who took him away along with his stall.
The rules of Quege City are very strict. Fighting is not allowed in the city, and the sale of things that obviously involve human lives is even more forbidden.
However, in the secret black market, these rules are relaxed a lot.
Just like what is sold at the stalls here during the day is the fur of the demons, but probably at night it will be the skin and blood of the demons.
Xie Liuyin took a few glances and then looked away with disinterest. However, Yun Xuan, taking advantage of the fact that no one could see her, went to several stalls to take a look.
Finally, she returned to Xie Liuyin and sighed, "This Quege City is really prosperous, even more lively than my former imperial city."
Xie Liuyin had never seen her imperial city, so naturally she had no idea what it looked like. She could only take her to find an inn that looked pretty good and let them stay there first.
Xie Liuyin brought a lot of spirit stones on this trip, and would not treat himself badly in terms of food and accommodation, so he directly chose the most comfortable Tianzi room.
The Tianzi Room is located on the top floor of an inn called Wankelai. One room is equivalent to three rooms in an ordinary inn.
It is divided into a reception room, a lounge, a bathroom, and a separate practice room.
Not long after Xie Liuyin moved in, a waiter brought her a plate of clean spiritual fruits.
The waiter looked as if he was afraid that she would be dissatisfied, so he gave his name attentively and asked Xie Liuyin to let him know if she needed anything.
Xie Liuyin thought for a moment before saying, "I want to get some information from you. I wonder if you can help me with this?"
As she spoke, she threw a few spirit stones onto the table.
When the waiter saw the spirit stone, his eyes lit up instantly: "Hey, if you have a request, we will naturally satisfy it. I just don't know what information you want to know?"
Wankelai is a well-known inn in Quege City, welcoming countless guests every day. These guests will inevitably reveal some information when chatting, and the waiters will also take on some work to inquire about the information for the guests.
Over time, the waiter in the store could barely be considered a know-it-all in Quege City.
Xie Liuyin said: "I want to know about the Jiuzhou Auction House. It would be best if you could tell me when the latest auction will be held and how to get their invitation."
The waiter rubbed his hands, looking embarrassed: "The Jiuzhou Auction House is quite powerful. How dare we, a small person like us, go and get their information?"
Xie Liuyin didn't say anything, but just grabbed another handful of spirit stones and placed them on the table.
The waiter's eyes flickered. "It's easy to get information about the auction, but how to get the invitation is really hard..."
Xie Liuyin glanced at the waiter, stretched out his hand and swept it across the table. The next second, the pile of spirit stones disappeared instantly.
The joy in the waiter's eyes disappeared in an instant, and just when he tried to beg for mercy and ask the distinguished guest to do business with him again, he saw Xie Liuyin raising his hand again.
This time, a pile of mid-grade spirit stones appeared on the table. The rich spiritual energy seemed to carry a sweet fragrance, instantly attracting all the attention of the waiter.
