C2278 Underground Auction
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing. It's just that this little bit of time is enough for me to kill you first before leaving calmly."
"Arrogant brothers, let's attack together. As long as we can hold on for a while longer, when master arrives, he will definitely die."
"Alright."
Although they had fear in their hearts, in this kind of life and death situation, the three of them were not easy to deal with. They instantly came to a consensus and attacked Chen Xiao together.
However, reality was always cruel. Even with the three of them working together, they were still unable to survive ten rounds and were easily killed by Chen Xiao.
Three more lumps of dust appeared on the surface of the sea. Chen Xiao put away the storage rings of the three people and teleported away with a sneer on his face, leaving this troublesome place.
Two hours later, the gloomy-faced Master Yin Xu led many disciples to Red Cliff Island. Chen Xiao had already disappeared.
Other than some remaining Fa Li fluctuations, the place was completely empty.
Master Yin Xu, who had once again failed, became completely furious. He said irritably, "Qin Feng, if I don't kill you, I swear I will not be a human."
With regards to Chen Xiao, who was furious because he missed, he had already expected it. Right now, Chen Xiao was far away from Red Cliff Island.
This was the advantage of a space cultivator. If he couldn't win, he would run. His ability to run was simply too strong.
It was also because the Realm of the Gods was just too vast; even cultivators as strong as Saints were just a drop in the ocean, unremarkable.
If he was determined to escape, it would be almost impossible to find him.
"Give me a bowl of marvel, more green onions and less spicy."
"Alright."
Chen Xiao was wearing a worn out appearance. Although he looked to be in a sorry state, he could not suppress the smile on his face. Thinking of how he was once again playing around with Guru Yin, he felt happy in his heart.
At this time, he casually found a roadside stall and sat down. He ordered a large bowl of hot and dull food, which tasted really good.
As a powerful cultivator, he had long since reached the Fasting Realm and did not need to eat or drink. However, eating or drinking was one of the most basic needs of a person.
Even for cultivators, eating and drinking can give them great satisfaction.
Having been at a loss for a long time, he was finally able to sit down and eat a bowl of steaming hot food. He was truly satisfied.
He ate the soup in big gulps until he was finally poisoned. Then, he gently blew away the oily oil on the surface of the soup and drank it up in big gulps.
"Boss, the bill."
"Three soul stones."
Although this unremarkable street stall dealt in ordinary people's business, the soul stones that were used as currency were common in the mortal world and amongst cultivators.
Chen Xiao casually threw a soul stone on the table. When the stall owner saw this, his eyes lit up and he quickly said,
"Customer, this is too much. I don't dare accept it."
He only casually tossed it over. Looking at the size of this large soul stone, it seemed to be around the size of a dozen soul stones.
For the booth owner, it was a small fortune, but for Chen Xiao, it wasn't even a drop in the bucket.
"Take it, I want to ask you for some information."
Hearing this, the stall owner paused for a moment before happily putting away the spirit stone. He said earnestly: "Customer, what do you want to know? You only want me to know and won't hide it from you."
"I heard that there's an underground auction going on this island?"
"Aiya, customer, you've asked the right person. I know about this matter, but it is said that this underground auction will be held once every six months, and when that happens, there will be a lot of cultivators coming here. It will be bustling with noise and excitement, and this auction is rumored to be starting within half a month."
"Oh? Half a month. Do you know how to enter this auction? "
"Me doesn't know about this," the stall owner shook his head. He was obviously just an ordinary person and his knowledge was extremely limited. He continued, "However, I heard that the auction's entrance threshold is very high. It requires a ticket to enter."
"Oh, I see. Thanks a lot."
Chen Xiao nodded and left the stall. He started to stroll on the street.
The island he was on was called the Greencloud Island and the Island Owner's name was Yun Yanzi. Chen Xiao knew from Li Zhengyuan's memories that he was one of the disciples that the Yin Master relied on the most.
Compared to before, the previous Young Master Hanxue was still a level lower.
In comparison, Yun Yinzi was much more low-key. His actions were to stand guard on the island, selling some treasure that came from an unorthodox source in order to profit from it.
Furthermore, he had the backing of the Great Master Yin Xu as well as the tacit approval of the Golden Island. It could be said that he had made a huge fortune.
It had to be known that no matter where they were, even in the Celestial domain, the fastest way to make money was to get rich.
It was just that the majority of the people did not have the ability, much less the background, to do such a thing. They had long been bound by all sorts of rules and regulations.
However, as someone with a strength comparable to a Heavenly Tribulation's middle stage Supreme Elder, Guru Yin Xu actually had the qualifications to jump out of the box.
Selling goods for others, selling low and selling high, this sort of thing was a common occurrence. Not only were there people from the Golden Island doing this sort of business, the Redbud Merchant Guild also did this. Of course, even Master Yin Xu was able to do it.
Yun Yanzi was such a character. Most of the wealth of the Absolute Yin Island came from this island.
Chen Xiao's purpose for coming here was self-evident. Naturally, it was to cause trouble.
After asking the stall owner and getting an ambiguous answer, he began to wander aimlessly around the island.
During this period of time, he even made a few moves and bought some spirit materials and pills. He made a lot of money.
Very soon, someone could no longer hold it in and took the initiative to come to their doorstep.
Chen Xiao walked at a leisurely pace by the side of the road. Then, a voice transmission reached his ears, "Brother, let me talk with you."
He followed the direction of the voice and saw that not far away, in a two story teahouse, there was a black-clothed cultivator looking at him and nodding at him.
After taking a few steps, he went up to the teahouse and sat down opposite of the green-robed cultivator.
The green-robed cultivator casually sized up Chen Xiao and went straight to the point: "Brother, you also want to participate in the underground auction?"
Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Of course. Everyone's purpose in coming to the Greencloud Island is the same, I am also here for the same reason. However, this is my first time and I don't know what to do."
"Sure, that number." The green-robed cultivator raised a finger and shook it towards Chen Xiao.
"Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."
"One hundred Divine Origin Stones. For one hundred Divine Origin Stones, I will sell you the command medallion. You can enter the underground auction."
Hearing that, Chen Xiao's expression froze as he said, "Isn't that a bit too expensive?"
He had originally wanted to agree to it. Although a hundred Divine Origin Stones was expensive, he could still barely accept it. However, he had temporarily restrained his temper.
"Brother, you might not know this, but this underground auction is not open to the public. Without a ticket, you cannot enter, because there are many good items here, and they are much cheaper than the ones outside. They are definitely worth it. A hundred Divine Origin Stones is not expensive."
