Chapter 110: Frenzied Buying

The place Duan De went to was Tiangang City, the most prosperous city in the entire Shuo Province.

The reason for its luxury was that the Tiangang Sect, the top power in Shuo Province, was located within Tiangang City. Although Tiangang City was just a city, its area was several hundred times the size of Wind and Thunder Prefecture.

Moreover, the biggest characteristic of Tiangang City was that all top powers in Shuo Province had branches and industries within it. It could be said that information was most accessible in Tiangang City, but to establish oneself here, one also needed a certain level of strength, otherwise, they would be devoured without even a bone shard left.

External rumors claimed that the Old Ancestor of the Tiangang Sect was a Peak Holy Emperor expert, and some even said he had advanced to the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

However, the Old Ancestor of the Tiangang Sect had never made a move in the past few hundred years, so no one knew the true strength of the Tiangang Sect, or if their Old Ancestor was still alive. Nevertheless, the title of the number one power in Shuo Province had always been held by the Tiangang Sect, because anyone who dared to provoke the Tiangang Sect had been ruthlessly eradicated.

However, the so-called Wanmo Palace was like a little brother in front of the Tiangang Sect. If the Tiangang Sect said one, the Wanmo Palace would not dare to say two. However, the Tiangang Sect rarely interfered with other matters, which was why the people from the Wanmo Palace were so arrogant in Shuo Province now.

At this moment, the dark-faced Duan De, with a shifty look, arrived at Tiangang City with over three hundred auction tokens.

“The entrance fee is ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

At this moment, a Human Immortal Realm guard said.

These guards were called Tiangang Guards, the direct army of the Tiangang Sect. To join the Tiangang Guards, the minimum requirement was to be in the Human Immortal Realm.

It could be said that this single entrance fee brought trillions of Low-Grade Spirit Stones to the Tiangang Sect every day, as countless Cultivators entered Tiangang City daily.

This was also one of the reasons for the Tiangang Sect's enduring prosperity.

Duan De honestly paid ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and then entered the city, and Duan Yi behind him also paid ten thousand.

Then, Duan De arrived at the largest free trade market in Tiangang City, the Tianlei Marketplace.

As for why it was called Tianlei Marketplace, it was because the entire marketplace was protected by a Heavenly Thunder Formation. If anyone tried to force a sale or purchase in Tianlei Marketplace, they would be annihilated by the Heavenly Thunder Formation. Therefore, everyone who traded here was incredibly honest, valuing mutual willingness.

Thus, in this Tianlei Marketplace, Spirit Stones were not the primary currency, as most transactions here were bartering.

After entering Tianlei Marketplace, Duan De paid a stall fee of 1 billion and then sat on an empty plot of land, displaying a few tokens and some auction brochures.

“Fellow Daoists, don’t miss out! A heaven and earth divine item, life divine water, has appeared in Shuo Province, capable of extending life by nine hundred years!”

“Fellow Daoists, don’t miss out! A heaven and earth divine item, Enlightenment Tea Leaves, has appeared in Shuo Province!”

Duan De picked out the two most valuable auction items and energetically shouted their praises.

Indeed, divine items that increased lifespan and Comprehension Ability were highly sought after in the cultivation world. Soon, a large crowd was attracted, curiously looking at the dark-faced Human Immortal Realm Cultivator.

Among them, a Golden Immortal Cultivator looked the most excited.

“Little brother, where is that Life Divine Spring you mentioned that can extend life by eight hundred years? I’ll buy it.”

Duan De looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, then pointed to a golden token and an auction brochure on the ground, and then fawningly said,

“Senior, everything you want is in this brochure. As for whether you can obtain it, that depends on your own ability, Senior.”

The Golden Immortal old man asked doubtfully,

“Little brother, what exactly do you mean?”

Duan De smiled and then said,

“Senior, I don't have the heaven and earth divine items, Life Divine Spring and enlightenment tea, but they will appear at an auction a few days later. And this token is the admission ticket to the auction.”

Hearing Duan De's words, the Golden Immortal old man's expression changed repeatedly, then he excitedly said,

“You mean this item will appear at an auction?”

Duan De smiled and said,

“Absolutely genuine, and this token comes with a teleportation effect. No matter where you are, as long as it's auction time, you will be teleported to the auction hall, so you don't have to worry about missing the auction.”

Hearing Duan De's words, the surrounding crowd gasped.

“Holy cow, this token itself is also a formidable Magical Artifact! It even has a teleportation function.”

“Yeah, if you can't win a fight during a duel, maybe this token could come in handy.”

“Right, right, right, we must buy this token. It's like having an extra life.”

“This auction house has a lot of backing, to be able to bring out such good things. I’m really looking forward to this auction.”

At this moment, the Golden Immortal old man suppressed his excitement and then said,

“How many Spirit Stones for this token? I’ll buy it.”

Duan De then said slyly,

“Senior, one token plus one brochure, no bargaining, 10 billion Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Everyone, don't be so quick to refuse. This promotional brochure itself is also a Magic Treasure. I can't tell its exact Rank, but this brochure can update the potential auction items in real-time. If you can own one, wouldn't that give you a head start over others?”

“Moreover, as far as I know, fewer than five hundred such tokens have been issued so far. Once this opportunity is gone, you won't be able to buy them even if you have more Spirit Stones later.”

Under Duan De's manipulations, the crowd, who were originally a bit hesitant, upon hearing that there were only a few hundred tokens, unhesitatingly spent 10 billion Spirit Stones to buy the auction token and the auction brochure.

When the Golden Immortal old man opened the auction catalog, he was instantly attracted by the last two items. Moreover, the items in the auction brochure were incredibly lifelike; even though it was just a drawing, one could feel a surge of Spiritual Qi emanating from it.

“Senior Brother Ye Chen, have you found any Spirit Pills that can extend life in the marketplace?”

“Junior Sister Zhao Ling, such things are rare treasures no matter where you go. How could they be found so easily, especially in this marketplace?”

“However, Junior Sister, don't worry. I have already contacted Great Master Danyu, and he has agreed to sell us a Heaven-Stealing Creation Pill, which can extend life by one hundred and fifty years. However, the price is a bit expensive, requiring hundreds of millions of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”

At this moment, Zhao Ling saw that Duan De was surrounded by people and felt that it must be something extraordinary. So, she prepared to walk towards Duan De.

“Junior Sister Zhao Ling, I don't think there's any need to go there. There's definitely nothing good. Let's just go gather Spirit Stones.”

“Senior Brother Ye Chen, I still want to go take a look. Maybe there really is a divine item that extends life.”

Ye Chen nodded helplessly, thinking to himself,

“Junior Sister is truly desperate. How could there be such a miraculous item that extends life in a street stall? But since we're here, I'll accompany Junior Sister to take a look.”

After speaking, Zhao Ling and Ye Chen walked towards Duan De's stall.
