"Young master, the auction is going to start in three days. I heard a treasure appeared!"

"What treasure?"

"Iron-Blood Battle Blade? "What is it?"

"I don't know either. Rumor has it that there's a big secret on it. As for what it is, I'm not sure!"

"Fine, we'll attend the auction in three days. We'll definitely take him down. I don't believe that there's anyone else in Fire Cloud City richer than me."

Duan Meng was full of confidence. Whether it was the energy crystal, the Heavenly Crystal, or the Thunder Crystal, he was rich. Even the Ten Thousand Year Freezing Wood was controlled by him alone, and he believed it was unrivalled in the auction.

"Young master, Mr. Qi is here." Qi Liang entered.

"Quick, invite him in." Duan Ru Yue knew that as long as the Art of Awakening was present, there would be good news.

A short while later, the art of the Eye of Insight arrived.

"Young Master Duan, every time I see you, you're always so carefree, drinking wine and chatting. I've never seen you cultivate, but your skills are exceptionally high. I'm really envious of you."

"Mr. Qi is too serious, do you mean I didn't learn anything? Hehe."

"No, no, I'm just envious of your elegant life. Unlike me, who was born with a life of toil, I don't have a day's work to do."

"Mr. Qi is obsessed with his career, unlike me, who has no goals. I'm just an ordinary cultivator, I don't seek to accomplish anything, but only to the extent that I'm unsurpassed."

"Just based on young master drinking Hundred Flowers Dew Wine every day, you've lived a good life, haha!"

"Mr. Qi is envious of my Hundred Blossom Dew Wine, then come to my place every day. I'll keep you company every day!"

"I don't dare, I still have a job. I'm busy all day and if I don't have any results, then my superior will be able to keep up. Unlike Young Master Duan, he isn't the Sect Leader, nor is he an official. He's really free and easy.

"Actually, we Immortal cultivators have spare time there. I only train every day and only know how to live. Mr. Qi isn't here to chat with me, is he?"

"Haha, of course. The reason I'm here today is to inform Young Master Duan that the Flaming Cloud City's auction is going to start in a few days. There's a treasure on the auction. Young Master Duan, you must obtain it!"

"Is it the Iron-Blood Battle Blade?"

"Looks like Young Master Duan is well-informed as well. I came here for nothing today."

"Otherwise, I only have this one thing. I don't know anything about the Iron Blood Saber at all."

"Then I will tell young master: Ren Zong was the one who made this Iron-Blood Battle Blade. I don't know why, but Ren Zong has always been someone who doesn't care about worldly affairs. Why did he take out this battle blade this time?" However, according to our Sky Sect's news, this war blade is related to the luck of the Earth Sect. If the Earth Sect were to get their hands on it, could it be a threat to our young master?

Duan Ling Tian finally understood. No wonder it was so mysterious. So it was the Mortal Sect who made the move. Since it was the most mysterious sect that made the move, they must have their reason for doing so. Duan Meng knew that the Human Sect had always been secretive and untraceable. Now that they had made a move, Duan Meng guessed that they might know something.

"So that's how it is. So will the Sky Sect intervene?"

"Our Sky Sect has no intentions regarding this matter. Our main goal is to sell information, as for the weapons and treasures, the higher ups do not allow us to enter, so you can rest assured that our Sky Sect will not interfere." However, the Earth Sect is hard to say. Since this is related to the luck of the Earth Sect, the Earth Sect must be very careful. Without enough wealth, it will be very difficult to get them. "

Duan Meng smiled and said proudly, "Mister Qi, I haven't been doing anything else in Fire Cloud City all these years and have indeed done quite a bit of business. In terms of wealth, I dare say that no one dares say that I'm number one. Even if I'm from the imperial family, I'm not afraid."

Qi Tong smiled. "That's true. The Sky Sect knows this, but we still have to be careful. The Earth Sect is so powerful and has great wealth. Even if we can't keep up with Young Master Duan, it's hard to say if the Sky Sect will do anything to our sect."

"Hehe, that is not necessarily the case. Even if the Earth Sect bids, it will depend on their strength. Who knows, others might covet them."

Naturally, he understood Duan Ren's intentions. If he couldn't win the bid, he would fight to the death with brute force. In Fire Cloud City, the same was true for those who were stronger. Whichever one was stronger would be the boss.

Strength was the truth. This was an unbreakable truth.

"Haha, it's good that Young Master Duan is prepared like that. Young Master Ji is still capable in terms of strength. Although I don't know how much strength Young Master has, but since Young Master is so confident, there's no mistake."

"No matter what, I still have to thank Mr. Qi. The Sky Sect has always been a great help to me, I have no way to repay them." "Please don't say it like that, young master. We are also in the business. As long as young master can afford it, we are willing to provide information."

"About this, it's hard to say. With your current wealth, buying a third is fine too, but, with the amount of wealth you need, it's not worth it for you. If you get a new treasure, then I think it's fine. Our Sky Sect likes new treasures even more."

"What kind of treasures does your Sky Sect need?"

"That may not be the case. For example, if you can get the Iron-Blood Battle Blade and hand it to us, you can exchange it for the third book, < Basics of Spiritual Perception >. Besides, if you get the Iron-Blood Battle Blade, you might not be able to give it to us."

Duan Meng understood that the art of the Eye of Qi required something new as well.

In the beginning, it would be fine as long as he could obtain the crystals, but later on, it would be Wolf Crystals. In the future, if he obtained any treasures, he could exchange them for the Iron-Blood Battle Blade or the Qi Tong technique. In this way, Duan Meng wasn't in a hurry to exchange the third < < Spiritual Force Foundation > >. He had just mastered the second portion and needed some time to get used to it. Now that he had the third portion, he wouldn't be able to cultivate it.

"Mr. Qi, thank you for today, let's have a drink!"

"Of course, the news today originally required money, but since you've heard it before, I can provide it for free. However, it's still worth it for you to treat me."

"Alright, Mr. Qi, I have enough Hundred Blossom Dew Wine today. As long as you drink it, you can drink however much you want."

"There's no need for that. Good things have to be tasted. Drinking with a cow is meaningless. It's best to stop when the time is right." Duan Meng took out 2 bottles of Hundred Flowers Dew Wine and the two of them started chatting happily.

After the Qi Tong technique left, Duan Ru Liang had Qi Liang arrange everything to gather information, especially the number of people who came to bid. He had to pay special attention to this, and gather all the information as long as it was related to the auction.

After two days, Qi Liang did not disappoint the request and gathered a large amount of information. Amongst them, there were more than 2000 people bidding for this item. The 2000 names, skill, and wealth information were all collected.

Duan Ru Yue analyzed the situation and didn't feel reassured at all. This was because the information they gathered was all from ordinary merchants, and there wasn't even the slightest bit of information about them.

For example, Qi Liang hadn't been able to gather any news about the Earth Sect or the Mortal Sect. There was almost zero information on either of their families. This was a very strange thing, but after thinking about it for a long time, Duan Meng came up with the crux of the problem. After all, the two clans were mysterious sects, so it was normal for them to do things in secret.
