Chapter 719: Powerhouses Gathering

“I heard the House of Riches in Bright Night City is preparing for their biggest auction since their creation!”

“Really? What are they selling this time?”

“It’s a treasure called Flood Dragon’s scale!”

“What the heck is that? But since it has the word dragon in its name, it must be very valuable…”

“According to the rumors, the Flood Dragon’s scale can increase a cultivator’s innate talent if they have water spirit veins.”

“What?! Increasing one’s innate talent?! That’s a priceless treasure!”

“Indeed. Pretty much every powerhouse is going to participate in the auction.”

“Good heavens. It’s going to be a bloodbath! I can’t even imagine how much money it will sell for.”

“It’s definitely going to be an amount that we can not even dream to have.”

After hearing this conversation, Yuan turned to look at Chu Liuxiang and said, “Lulu, this Flood Dragon’s scale is perfect for you. Even though you have ice spiritual veins, it should still work on you since your ice element is just a superior version of the water element.”

“You’re going to participate in this auction? It sounds very expensive…” Chu Liuxiang said.

Yuan showed his spatial ring with a smile on his face, “I have plenty of money!”

Neither Yuan nor Chu Liuxiang was aware of the Flood Dragon’s scale’s true value. If they did, they wouldn’t even think about trying to participate in the auction.

“I have almost 20,000 spirit stones. That’s worth 200 million gold coins. Surely, that’s more than enough to buy this treasure, right? Even a Heaven-grade treasure is only worth at most 50 million.” Yuan said.

“We’ll find out when we get there, I guess.” Chu Liuxiang shrugged.

“What about the others?” Lan Yingying said. “You told them that you wouldn’t leave the hotel…”

“Well… We don’t know when they’ll return, and we might miss the auction if we wait for them. I will leave a note behind if they return while we are away so that they don’t panic about our disappearance.”

Chu Liuxiang then said, “There’s actually a good chance that we’ll run into them since they will also be selling their treasures in an auction house.”

“Now that you mention it, that could also happen.” Yuan said.

Once they finished eating, they returned to the hotel.

Yuan immediately began writing his note for the others.

“Since Min is busy with her cultivation, I won’t bother her. Are you guys ready to leave?” Yuan asked them afterward.

“Do you even know where to go?” Chu Liuxiang then asked.

“Oh, I nearly forgot. It’s a city called Bright Night City. Can either of you read maps?” Yuan handed them the jade slip containing a map.

“I can try.” Lan Yingying said as she took the jade slip.

A few moments later, she spoke, “It’s a little far from this place, but we should arrive there by the end of the day if we use teleportation devices.”

“Alright, you’ll lead the way.” Yuan said.

Before they left, Yuan placed the note on the table and used a cup to hold it down to ensure that it wouldn’t move anywhere.

Thus, Yuan began making his way towards Bright Night City with Lan Yingying and Chu Liuxiang.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Spirit Healing Academy, Wang Xiuying went to look for her Master after being summoned.

“Disciple Wang greets Master.” Wang Xiuying bowed to her Master at the sect, who was a beautiful middle-aged woman with a naturally cold face.

“Xiuying, I will be leaving the sect for a couple of days to participate in the Flood Dragon’s scale’s auction with the sect master.”

“Oh, I heard about that! It’s a priceless treasure that can improve one’s innate talent, is that correct?”

“Yes, but it has many other purposes as well, such as being used to create the Flood Dragon Pill that can directly boost a peak Spirit Lord to a Spirit King with 90 percent efficiency! However, since it’s a flawless scale, it should have more than 95 percent efficiency!”

“I-Is that so…” Wang Xiuying mumbled in a dazed voice. She has never seen her Master so excited before.

“Want to come with us? It will be a unique experience for you since all of the powerhouses will be present for the auction, and they are some of the most powerful people in this world.”

“I want to go!” Wang Xiuying immediately nodded her head.

“Alright. Get ready. We’re leaving in an hour.”

Ten hours later, Yuan arrived at the Bright Night City.

“Wow, there’s a lot of people here…” Yuan cannot recall the last time he saw this many people gathered in one place.

However, the most impressive part was that they were mostly flying in the air and the profound atmosphere there.

“Most of them are emitting a powerful aura as well… They must all be cultivation experts.” Chu Liuxiang couldn’t stop shivering, as the atmosphere caused by these experts was too intense for a Spirit Apprentice like her.

“Are you okay?” Yuan asked her.

“Yes… It just feels a little harder to breathe than usual…”

Hearing her words, Yuan used his spiritual energy to cover her body.

Chu Liuxiang immediately felt better.

“Do you feel any better?” Yuan asked.

“Yes, I feel much better. Thank you.”

“What about you, Yingying?”

“I am fine. The pressure doesn’t affect me.”

“That’s good to hear.” Yuan said, and he continued, “Now that we’re here, let’s figure out where and when the auction will take place.”

“Okay.” The ladies nodded.

After entering the city, they began asking around.

“Hello, do you know where the Flood Dragon’s scale’s auction will take place? Or where I can find more information on it?” Yuan asked a couple of pedestrians the same question.

One of them replied, “You can learn more about the auction at the House of Riches. Besides that, I don’t really know anything, since this auction is not going to be public.”

“What do you mean it’s not going to be public?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.

“It means that only those invited and influential enough are allowed to participate in the auction. After all, an auction of this significance will attract too many people, so they are only limiting it to people that are actually wealthy enough to participate.”

“I see… That makes sense. Thank you.”
