121: Go to Liuguang City

At seven o'clock on the morning of August 10th, Luo Chen left the Stone Spirit Secret Realm with the Nightshade Dark Spirit Bird and the Ice Flame Lion King.

They had truly improved significantly, both having reached the level of an eight-star Spirit Beast.

Luo Chen handed them back to Luo Yang.

"Xiaoyang, good luck with your match today. I won't be able to go to the venue to cheer for you."

Luo Yang, who had just felt the State of his two beasts and was feeling excited, asked in confusion upon hearing Luo Chen's words,

"Ah, brother, do you have something to take care of?"

Luo Chen nodded. "I need to make a trip to Liuguang City to attend an auction and see if there are any rare materials for sale."

Luo Yang felt a slight sense of disappointment, but he also knew that since his brother had recovered and awakened his talent as a Breeder, he would only become busier in the future. It was actually himself who had become more like a child ever since Luo Chen's recovery.

Therefore, he nodded firmly. "Alright, brother, go ahead without worry. Wait for my good news."

Luo Chen had nothing to pack, so he boarded his exclusive mount, the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane.

Sitting on the comfortable seat formed by white clouds, Luo Chen squinted his eyes comfortably and directed, "Set off. To the teleportation center."

The Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane in front of the white clouds chirped softly, flapped its wings gently, and carried Luo Chen toward the destination he mentioned.

The teleportation center was not too far from Chenyang Pet Store, but there were too many intersections in the city, and some time was wasted waiting at traffic lights.

A dozen minutes later, the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane brought Luo Chen to his destination.

The building that appeared before Luo Chen was not much different from the high-speed railway stations of his past life.

Perhaps the only difference was that it had exclusive lanes for beast mounts, and both the lanes and the entrances were larger.

Luo Chen did not even need to get off his cloud mount. After entering through the mount lane and passing an intersection, he was stopped by a sweet-looking young lady wearing a uniform.

"Excuse me, sir, which city are you heading to?"

"Liuguang City."

"Very well. The fee for one trip to Liuguang City is fifty thousand spirit coins."

It really was expensive, Luo Chen muttered to himself.

However, this didn't mean much to him now. After paying the money,

the young lady handed him a card and instructed, "This is your passage voucher. The next teleportation array to Liuguang City will start at 7:45. If you miss it, you will have to wait for the one an hour later."

Luo Chen had arrived early, so he could catch the next activation of the teleportation array; otherwise, he would have had to wait.

Arriving at the waiting area, Luo Chen temporarily put away the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane.

After waiting for a short while, they announced that it was time to enter the teleportation array to prepare for transport.

Luo Chen followed the guide's instructions and stood in the center of a giant disc.

"A moment during the transport, you will feel a sense of dizziness or discomfort. This is normal, so please bear with it. This feeling will disappear very quickly."

The guide confirmed that all 'passengers' were in position, made the customary announcement, and then walked to the edge of the disc to operate a piece of equipment.

Luo Chen's view was blocked by the back of the equipment, so he could not see how it was operated. Not long after,

various runes beneath his feet lit up with a cerulean color, as if they were being filled with energy.

Luo Chen suddenly felt a strange sense of imbalance coming from under his feet,

and then the view and space around him became blurry. By the time the scene became clear, Luo Chen discovered that the outside environment had undergone a massive change.

Is this Liuguang City?

Compared to the sparse 'passengers' in Qingyang City, it was already bustling with noise and excitement, even though it was early morning.

There were dense crowds of people everywhere. Luo Chen shrank back a bit uncomfortably, walked out of the teleportation array, and then followed the indicator lights nearby

to the lane for passengers with mounts. On this extremely wide lane, Luo Chen summoned the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane

and hurriedly urged it to leave this noisy environment.

Luo Chen's mount blended into a procession of all sorts of strange-looking mounts. He did not know if it was his imagination, but he always felt that the beasts nearby were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding his Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane.

He scanned the area with his Eye of Truth and found that most of the mounts here were Spirit Beasts, or at best, Fierce Beasts. As for King Beast-level beasts acting as mounts, he really had not found a second one here besides his own.

He immediately understood; these beasts must have sensed the King Beast aura on the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane, so they were subconsciously dodging it.

But that was fine; at least the environment around him had become more spacious.

Luo Chen had the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane transform the white clouds behind it into the shape of a carriage, blocking the prying eyes of others.

Liuguang City was much larger than Qingyang City, and there was a maximum speed limit within the city, so it would still take a while to reach his destination.

The tall buildings on both sides of the street were much higher than those in Qingyang City. To people from other Lower Cities, they might seem novel, but to this transmigrator, they were nothing special.

He might as well take this time to get some rest.

At eight-thirty, the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane chirped softly to remind Luo Chen that they had arrived at their destination.

Luo Chen opened his eyes, withdrawing his consciousness from the Illusion World. Just now, he had watched a match of Luo Yang's.

Luo Yang's performance today was even more ferocious than yesterday, and he finished the match even faster than yesterday. This allowed him to set his mind at ease and attend today's auction properly.

Luo Chen stepped down from the carriage formed by white clouds and looked left and right, finding that the surrounding environment was unexpectedly quite nice.

This area did not belong to the bustling downtown; rather, it was very quiet. Yet, just across a street, there was a famous, prosperous commercial street here, which could be said to be extremely convenient.

Presumably, the Liang Corporation had also put in a great deal of effort to acquire such a plot of land here.

When the Azure Smoke Flowing Cloud Crane stopped at the entrance of the Qingyun Rare Goods Auction House, a clever attendant had already come up to greet Luo Chen.

Seeing this imposing and elegant beast acting as a mount, they figured the owner must be of extraordinary status.

Coming here, he could only be here to attend the Qingyun Rare Item Auction they were holding today.

So, just as Luo Chen stood firm on the ground, a delicate-looking attendant approached him. "This noble guest, you must be here to attend the auction, right?"

Luo Chen nodded and handed over the invitation he had received.

The attendant's eyes brightened even more when he saw the invitation Luo Chen handed over. Five azure clouds stood on the top of the invitation; this was definitely a VIP among VIPs.

"This way, noble guest."

The attendant guided Luo Chen to the third floor and brought him into the box numbered 001.

Then, the ones who came to serve Luo Chen were two very beautiful female attendants. Not long after Luo Chen entered the box,

Liang Jingsi, having received the news, hurried over.

"I am late and failed to welcome you personally. I hope you will forgive me."

Liang Jingsi directed the attendants behind her to place various spirit fruits and spirit food on the table in the box.

"I have only just arrived myself."

"Shopkeeper Luo's beast is the trump card of today's event. Our auction house will need to rely on Shopkeeper Luo's support in the future. These spirit fruits can be considered rare items; Shopkeeper Luo might want to appraise them."

"Alright. Could you provide me with a copy of the auction order list for today?"

Hearing Luo Chen's request, Liang Jingsi was slightly puzzled, but the auction was about to start, and this was not confidential information.

"Ah Hong, go get a copy for Shopkeeper Luo."

Taking the list of auction items in his hand, Luo Chen scanned it roughly and nodded slightly. There were indeed many rare items that were hard to come by.

Even without the support of his beast, they could have a small breakthrough, but it would probably be difficult to achieve greater fame.

After staying for a few minutes, Liang Jingsi looked a bit embarrassed. "Shopkeeper Luo, I still have a few guests I need to welcome personally. If you need anything, please just instruct them."

"Very well." Luo Chen nodded. He was not the type of person to be meddlesome, nor was he someone who liked to trouble others. Likewise, he did not like to be troubled by people he was not familiar with.

Liang Jingsi bowed slightly before exiting.

Luo Chen waited in the box for about another hour, which was ten o'clock.

The auction that the Liang Corporation had been planning for a long time was finally about to begin. This also marked the first official appearance of the Liang Family returning to Liuguang City. It could be said that success or failure rested on this one move.

"Respected guests, thank you all for taking the time to attend today's Qingyun Rare Item Auction."

Liang Jingsi appeared on the auction stage, her soft and beautiful voice spreading throughout the entire venue through the Skill of some beast.
