203: Re-entering the main store

However, he identified the direction by the sun in the sky.

Then, he extended his right hand and began to divine.

First, he activated the "Profound Mechanism Myriad Evolution Scripture" to calculate the location of Tianbao City.

The result was just right; he was located one thousand miles southeast of Tianbao City.

Behind him lay the direction of the Blood Fiend Alliance.

If he walked all the way to Tianbao City like this, it would highly likely lead people to conclude that he came from the Blood Fiend Alliance.

The reason Gu Changan went to such great lengths was that he feared a Nascent Soul Cultivator might use time regression.

To trace back all his locations and the course of events.

If they discovered then that he was merely a Loose Cultivator with a bit of extra courage.

He really wouldn't even know how he died!

Then he began to divine the fortune of this operation.

The divination actually showed "Neutral"!

It seems that even if a situation arises this time, it should be within his ability to handle, so there is nothing to worry about.

Gu Changan began to activate the "Breath Concealment Art" to disguise his cultivation level.

He went straight to Foundation Establishment Stage Perfection, reaching Golden Core Stage Level 1.

He dared not disguise himself as Golden Core Stage Level 2.

Because there was no difference between Golden Core Stage Level 1 and Level 2.

But to disguise as Golden Core Stage Level 2, he would need to expend a great amount of mental energy to constantly maintain the disguise of Golden Core Stage Level 2 cultivation.

That would be more trouble than it was worth!

He put on the Magical Artifact robe he had prepared beforehand.

Then he took out a more normal-looking top-grade magical artifact flying boat.

After inserting some Spirit Stones, he began to propel the flying boat forward slowly.

Along the way, he encountered some Cultivators, but seeing Gu Changan's Golden Core Stage Level 1 cultivation, they knew he was not to be trifled with.

Moreover, he was a Cultivator from the Blood Fiend Alliance, who were always known for being aggressive and fierce.

If provoked, they would fight to the death immediately, so the journey was smooth and unobstructed.

A few hours later, Gu Changan appeared once again at the city gate of Tianbao City.

He swaggered as he put away the flying boat and then walked straight toward the city gate.

The row of Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators at the gate all kept their eyes straight ahead, not daring to meet Gu Changan's gaze.

They had long since realized that Gu Changan's background was extraordinary.

He was wearing a Magical Artifact robe!

How could they afford to provoke him?

However, the two Golden Core Stage guard captains at the gate revealed a hint of confusion.

When Gu Changan entered through the main gate, the Formation of Tianbao City sensed Gu Changan's true cultivation.

Therefore, the Formation Plate in the hand of the guard captain also reacted.

A fair-skinned Golden Core Stage Cultivator looked at the captain next to him, a middle-aged Golden Core Stage Cultivator with a stubbly beard.

"Why does this person have Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation?"

"He is a disguised Golden Core Stage Cultivator!"

"Should we investigate?"

The middle-aged Golden Core Stage Cultivator with a stubbly beard, being the captain, did not want to cause trouble.

"Investigate what?"

"Didn't you see the top-grade magical artifact flying boat he came down in!"

"And the Magical Artifact robe he is wearing is also of the Golden Core Stage!"

"How can we dare to provoke such a Cultivator?"

"Perhaps he is some second-generation ancestor again!"

"It's not rare for a Golden Core Stage Cultivator to wear a Magical Artifact robe!"

"But for a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to wear a Golden Core Stage Magical Artifact robe and swagger through the streets!"

"This just goes to show how favored he is in his Family!"

"Maybe his Old Ancestor is following right behind him!"

"Don't you dare cause trouble for me!"

The fair-skinned Golden Core Stage Cultivator looked depressed; the fact that they were assigned to guard the city gate here.

Meant that they were likely Cultivators with low status in their Family.

But because their cultivation had reached the Golden Core Stage, they were given this kind of task.

If they were asked to bully those Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, they wouldn't even blink.

But like Gu Changan, a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with an obvious background.

They could only turn a blind eye!

Better not to look for trouble and end up causing themselves discomfort!

Gu Changan walked straight into the city, only feeling his whole body being scanned as if by some kind of Formation!

But he didn't know that this kind of Formation had already exposed his true bottom line!

Fortunately, the two Golden Core Stage guard captains did not pursue it because of their cowardice.

This allowed Gu Changan to successfully escape a disaster.

From this, one can see the importance of a tiger skin.

As long as you have someone behind you, others will weigh the consequences when they move against you!

Gu Changan came to the inner city, which was the area of shops controlled by the Treasure Pavilion, with familiar ease.

He went straight to the seven-story building where the auction was held a few days ago.

Upon entering, he found that this place was no different from other places.

Standing to the side was a row of Maidservants and a row of attendants, all with Late Stage Qi Refining cultivation.

Seeing the Golden Core Stage pressure radiating from Gu Changan's body, they dared not approach and just watched silently!

Gu Changan understood and walked up to the 2nd floor.

This place was somewhat different from the other areas.

There was also a row of Maidservants and a row of attendants here, whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

There were many at the early Foundation Establishment Stage, and presumably very few at the Late Stage.

Sitting in the main hall was a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, who appeared to be the Shopkeeper of the 2nd floor.

Gu Changan took the initiative to step forward and salute: "Fellow Daoist! I would like to exchange for some items!"

"Could we find a quiet place?"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper behind the counter was slightly plump.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he smiled, he looked quite refined!

With a pair of big eyes and slightly double eyelids, he scrutinized Gu Changan earnestly.

He tapped his left index and middle fingers on the counter twice, thinking and sizing him up at the same time.

He directly guessed Gu Changan's attire, appearance, and identity roughly correctly.

Then he immediately put on a smile and hurriedly returned the salute: "This Fellow Daoist is a new face!"

"Must be your first time at our shop!"

"With these eyes of mine, once I have seen someone, I will never forget them!"

Gu Changan was shocked; there was actually such a person?

Was it a waste of talent to have him work as a Shopkeeper here?

If he changed his disguise in the future, would he be able to recognize him too?

Gu Changan was somewhat panicked inside at this moment!

But on the surface, he remained calm: "I came here specifically from the Blood Refining Valley!"

The smiling Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper immediately revealed a happy smile.

He leaned in with an exaggerated expression: "I knew it!"

"These eyes of mine are never wrong!"

"What does Fellow Daoist want to exchange for this time?"

Then he ordered a Maidservant nearby: "An honored guest has arrived!"

"Prepare some tea and bring it over!"

The Foundation Establishment Stage Maidservant did not dare to delay and hurriedly trotted away.

Gu Changan was invited to a small cubicle nearby.

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper kept smiling, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"It is quiet here! Why don't you state your purpose, Fellow Daoist?"

Gu Changan held his head up without speaking, until he saw the Maidservant put down the tea set and exit.

Only then did he speak leisurely: "I have come this time to exchange for a crimson flame dragon marrow fruit!"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper's smile stiffened, and he waved one hand in front of him.

"Stop! Fellow Daoist, you are joking!"

"The crimson flame dragon marrow fruit is a treasure prohibited from exchange!"

"I do not have the authority for this!"

"If Fellow Daoist had the ability to obtain it, you wouldn't have come here to find me!"

"So, Fellow Daoist does not have that ability either!"

"Then let us not waste words!"

"Fellow Daoist, please return!"
