C23 An Astronomical Price

At this moment, Nan'an City Lord was looking at the two men in front of him with shock. They were from the capital of Linxiang County. The other girl was the daughter of the master of Linxiang County, County Lord Jiu'er. Although his Nan'an City was known as the number one city in the south of Yongxing Prefecture, it was only a small city in a remote corner compared to the vast land of Linxiang. Why were all these adults here?

"Is there an auction tomorrow in your Wind Cloud House? The final item is a Devil Wing Dragon Devil Crystal Core." The old man called Kwoo Tianji.

"Replying to my lord, my city's auction house is indeed going to hold an auction tomorrow. Furthermore, the final item is indeed a tier 8 Devil Beast Devil Wing Dragon Devil Crystal Core." Nan'an City Lord replied. He had already sent someone to send an invitation letter to Nan'an City Lord to inform him about the auction tomorrow. After all, a Martial Emperor Level existence like Nan'an City Lord would definitely be able to participate in the auction of a tier 8 Devil Crystal Core. But at this moment, he was puzzled as to why these two people from the Nan'an City were here. Was it because of this Devil Crystal Core? If that was the case, then this auction would be interesting.

Actually, Nan'an City Lord had guessed it right. This Kwoo Tianji's trip was really for the Devil Crystal Core. Jiu Er was currently at the lower tier of the Martial Sovereign. He was only a step away from breaking through to the Martial Emperor level. With such a talent and cultivation base, there was no doubt that the final destination would be the Holy Safety Academy. After all, the Holy Safety Academy was a place where talents gathered. Talent could only be nurtured in the best place. Therefore, County Lord Linxiang decided to send Jiu Er to the Holy Safety Academy.

Wasn't this the recruitment in Holy Safety Academy in June? County Lord Linxiang was prepared to refine a life bound magic treasure for Jiu Er. However, because life bound magic treasures involved some refining cultivation methods, a Tier 8 Devil Wing Dragon and Devil Crystal Core had to be used as a guide. However, after County Lord Linxiang searched the entire Linxiang County, he found countless Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core, and that was none other than the Devil Wing Dragon that did not have a Devil Wing Dragon.

Just as County Lord Linxiang was being overwhelmed with anxiety, in the Linxiang County under his eyes, the news of the auction of Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core came from the Nan'an City. That was why he had specially ordered Kwoo Tianji to bring Jiu Er to Nan'an City. He would know if it was true or false after he came to take a look. If it really couldn't work, then he would have to go to the Devil Beast Mountain Range. This was a bad idea. After all, the Devil Wing Dragon was a Devil Beast that lived in groups. If he wanted to kill one, therefore, even County Lord Linxiang wasn't willing to make such a bad decision.

"Great Uncle Gu. If that's the case, father won't have to make a trip to the Devil Beast Mountain Range." Jiu Er, who was standing at the side, clapped his hands happily.

"That's true." Kwoo Tianji smiled. "Do you know who is auctioning off this tier 8 Devil Crystal Core?" He immediately asked Nan'an City Lord.

"You don't know about this. I only know that he came back from Devil Beast Mountain Range yesterday and forced his way into my Nan'an City. If master wants to know more information, I know one person who should know about it. " Nan'an City Lord replied. In fact, he also wanted to know the identity of Tianyu.

"Who?" Kwoo Tianji asked curiously. Someone had dared to barge into the Nan'an City, and it seemed like Nan'an City Lord didn't pursue the matter too much. Obviously, he was no ordinary man, and he was at least a Martial Emperor Level warrior.

"Go and call the people from the Seven Stars Sect to the Prefecture. I have something to ask them." Nan'an said to the guard beside him. The guard turned around and ran towards the Seven Stars Sect.

After a while, "This lowly one greets Mansion Lord." The group of people from the Seven Stars Sect who had followed Tianyu into the city received the guard's message and rushed towards the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.

At this moment, a group of people stood by the side submissively. After all, they had participated in the city invasion yesterday. Tianyu was a Martial Emperor Level big shot. The city lord wouldn't dare to offend him, but he wouldn't dare to vent his anger on the Seven Stars Sect. After all, they had no relationship with Tianyu.

"Sir, they came here with that man yesterday. I think they should know the identity of the man who broke into the city." Nan'an City Lord said to Kwoo Tianji.

Sir, the people of Seven Stars Sect were shocked. One should know that their City Lord was a Martial Emperor Level. What kind of existence was the City Lord calling him? It seemed like the matter of the city yesterday wasn't as simple as it seemed!

"Do you all know the identity of the person who intruded the city yesterday?" Kwoo Tianji asked the yellow-robed elder curiously.

"Answer my lord, we only have a one-sided relationship with senior. However, I have to guess that senior is someone from the Wuning Mansion in Yun Hai County." The yellow-robed old Daoist quickly replied respectfully. After all, breaking into the city was not a small matter. The Seven Stars Sect would not be able to bear the responsibility of blaming him.

"Wuning Mansion?" Nan'an City Lord and Kwoo Tianji spoke at the same time. After all, Wuning Mansion was a place that the Human Clan looked forward to and worshipped.

"Tell me what happened." Kwoo Tianji asked in disbelief.

"It's master..." After that, the yellow-robed old Daoist told them about the Devil Wing Dragon, Tianyu's wooden sword killing the Devil Wing Dragon, and how he brought them into the city.

"Nan'an City Lord, in your opinion, how should we analyze this?" Kwoo Tianji asked Nan'an City Lord.

"I think the person who auctioned the Devil Crystal Core should be from Wuning Mansion."

"Why do you think so?"

"There are three reasons why I can tell. The first is to ask for directions. If it wasn't for the fact that the people of Wuning Mansion wanted to return to Wuning Mansion, who would ask for directions to Wuning Mansion for no reason? The second is to kill Devil Wing Dragon at such a young age with a wave of my hand. In the continent, you can be said to be one of the best. Our Linxiang County only has a few familiar names. He wasn't one of them. In this continent, only the Human Clan's holy land, the Wuning Mansion, could nurture someone with such a cultivation base at such a young age. Thirdly, after he obtained the Devil Wing Dragon and Devil Crystal Core, he didn't mind selling it. Although Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core isn't rare in our Linxiang County, it's rare to find a Devil Wing Dragon and Devil Crystal Core that live in groups. He did not mind at all. Only those noble young masters who have spent a long time in the Wuning Mansion would do such a thing. " Nan'an City Lord analyzed. He had already determined that Tianyu was a person of the Wuning Mansion. Fortunately, he didn't stop him from entering the city yesterday, otherwise... Nan'an City Lord thought to himself.

"That makes sense." Kwoo Tianji stroked his beard and said. He also thought the same. All signs indicated that... Only the Wuning Mansion could nurture such a talent, and only the people of the Wuning Mansion could be so proud and generous. They had no fear of breaking into the city.

"Why didn't you ask him after the auction tomorrow?" Jiu Er asked in confusion. In her opinion, it was better to ask him in front of her than to make such a muddle-headed guess.

"County Lord Jiu'er is indeed smart. This old man also had the same intention." Nan'an City Lord also made up his mind that the people of Wuning Mansion must be roped in. Even if they were not, they must be roped in as well. After all, Tianyu's talent was too amazing. His future achievements would be immeasurable.

"Sir, may I take my leave now?" The yellow-robed old Daoist asked boldly. At this moment, they were the most upset. They respectfully stood to the side and listened to Nan'an City Lord and Kwoo Tianji's words. They didn't dare to relax. Fortunately, from their conversation, it could be seen that Nan'an City Lord wasn't looking for them because he wanted to trespass the city. In this way, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"All of you can withdraw now..." Nan'an City Lord didn't mind. Instead, he waved his hand and said.

"It's senior." The people of Seven Stars Sect were secretly delighted, and they quickly retreated.

The next day:

Something that shook the entire Nan'an City had happened. It was the auction for the Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core. At this time, the Nan'an City had once again appeared in an empty alley after the Heaven Rank Magical Weapon Auction. After all, the Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core represented a Tier 8 Devil Beast, and it was also a type of Devil Wing Dragon. Many people had never seen such a grade of Devil Crystal Core in their entire lives. Even if they couldn't afford it, they might be able to have a good eye.

Of course, there were also some sects that had accumulated enough crystals to buy this Devil Crystal Core. After all, once a tier 8 Devil Crystal Core was used, its value would be extraordinary.

At this time, the entire Wind Cloud House was filled with people just to see the Devil Crystal Core. In order to deal with the huge crowd, Hwa Yuji couldn't change the private rooms on the second and fourth floor of Wind Cloud House to public seats. However, the private rooms on the third floor still hadn't been changed. After all, they had to leave some seats for those with prominent statuses. Just like Tianyu! Nan'an City Lord! Kwoo Tianji and County Lord Jiu'er were in the private room on the third floor.

At this moment, in a private room on the third floor, Tianyu was sitting on the sofa out of boredom. He looked at the people downstairs who were rubbing their shoulders while eating fruits. Two divine senses had already swept past him from the same private room. One of them was very familiar. It was the divine sense that had swept past him when he had barged into the city. Tianyu did not pay much attention to it. After all, it was normal for a Martial Emperor to be attracted to this place.

At this moment, Kwoo Tianji and Nan'an City Lord were even more certain that Tianyu was from the Wuning Mansion. They had offended a Martial Emperor Level in the Wuning Mansion, so they didn't show any reaction when they saw Tianyu and Kwoo Tianji.

"Quiet, everyone quiet down..." In the center of the auction hall, Hwa Yuji's voice swept across the entire auction hall with his combat qi. Instantly, the entire auction hall quieted down. After all, it was the auction that they had been looking forward to for a long time.

"First of all, we welcome everyone to come..." Under Hwa Yuji's series of polite opening remarks, the auction began.

"Let's welcome the first item..."

"The second item..."

Tianyu did not pay much attention to the other items. He was here to auction off the Devil Crystal Core. Everything else had nothing to do with him.

The people in the auction hall were also restless. They had come to the auction to see the Devil Crystal Core, so the cumbersome process was really annoying.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. An hour later, Hwa Yuji smiled and said after a pause.

"I would like to invite the last item of this auction, the Devil Crystal Core of the tier 8 Devil Beast and Devil Wing Dragon that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. The starting price of this item is one million, and each increment must be no less than fifty thousand. " Hwa Yuji stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"What?" All of a sudden, sighs could be heard from below. One had to know that an ordinary Tier 8 Devil Crystal Core was worth one million, and the starting price of this auction was one million? Was there still a need for people to bid? Those low level sects were originally prepared to try their luck, but their hopes were instantly extinguished by the starting price of one million.

This was Hwa Yuji's intention. Although raising the price so high would cause many people to lose interest in bidding, he knew that the big head was at the back. There were only some small shrimps ahead, so it was not important.

"Let's start the bidding now."

"Heavenly Dao Sect offers one million and fifty thousand."

"The Beichen Sect offers 1,150 thousand."

"The Southern Tomb Valley offers one million and two hundred thousand."

"The Ancient Sword Sect sends one million and three hundred thousand."

Following Hwa Yuji's command, the auction house once again became restless.

"1.3 million. It has already exceeded the scope of Devil Crystal Core trading. Is there any higher bid?" Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.

"Sir, aren't you interested?! Nan'an City Lord looked at the intense auction and asked Kwoo Tianji."

"Haha." Kwoo Tianji smiled.

"Yongchang Mansion offers three million crystals." Suddenly, Kwoo Tianji's voice came from the third floor.

"Three million? What? Three million crystals?" Instantly, the entire auction house exploded once again. Without a doubt, this three million was an astronomical sum of chips...
