Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1217 - 538: Auction House

"Huh, there’s a restriction here."

With just a glance, Ning Qi realized something was amiss.

This place was clearly stronger compared to the previous cities.

"Master, can we still go in directly?"

Medicine Spirit asked curiously upon hearing this.

"Let’s go. Going in directly is impossible now."

Ning Qi shook his head and then walked directly towards the city.

Seeing this, Medicine Spirit quickly followed.

The two soon arrived in the city.

Indeed, this place was stronger compared to the previous cities.

There were more people, and street vendors were selling equipment and resources used by cultivators.

"Master, look, there’s an auction house up ahead."

Medicine Spirit, with keen eyes, spotted an auction house ahead.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Ning Qi looked ahead.

He did indeed see an auction house.

The place was bustling with people coming and going.

"Master, didn’t we acquire a lot of treasures?"

"How about we try to dispose of the ones we don’t need?"

Medicine Spirit suggested with a twinkle in his eye.

"That’s not necessary."

Ning Qi shook his head: "The cultivators of the True Martial Spirit Realm still need them."

"But since we’ve come across it, I might as well go in and see if there are any interesting items here."

"Maybe, I’ll find something I need."

"Sure!"

"Even if not, it will be a fun diversion."

Medicine Spirit readily agreed.

He really enjoyed such lively places.

"There’s no hurry for now."

"Let’s first find out where the teleportation array is here."

Ning Qi shook his head and then looked ahead.

"Okay!"

Medicine Spirit gladly agreed and then continued walking forward with him.

"Brother, could you tell me where the teleportation array in this city is?"

Ning Qi took a few steps forward and asked someone who looked like a cultivator.

"Just ahead."

"Walk straight, turn left, and then keep going forward."

"Once you reach the end, turn right, and you’ll see it."

The person pointed out a direction for Ning Qi to follow.

"Thank you very much!"

After expressing his gratitude, Ning Qi set off directly.

After following the directions given and walking a certain distance, they finally arrived at the teleportation array in the city.

In front of this teleportation array, there were also guards of the city stationed.

Ning Qi stepped forward and faced the guards.

"Brother, when can your teleportation array be activated?"

He first politely asked.

"As long as you have Spirit Stones, it can be activated at any time."

"However, if you want to activate it, you’ll need to provide us with additional Spirit Stones."

"That covers the operational costs of our array."

The guard looked at Ning Qi and spoke in a deep voice.

"How many Spirit Stones are needed?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi continued to ask.

"A thousand Spirit Stones."

The guard held up one finger and said with a smile, "They aren’t ordinary Spirit Stones; they’re Mid-grade Spirit Stones."

"Why don’t you just rob us?"

Medicine Spirit immediately became displeased, "This should at most cost a hundred Spirit Stones."

However, he was so powerful that the guard couldn’t even perceive him.

Even when he spoke, the guard only felt it was like a breeze blowing.

They couldn’t sense his presence at all.

"Then, is it possible for the teleportation from here to reach the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"

Ning Qi didn’t mind. As long as it could teleport them, it didn’t matter.

"No."

The guard shook his head and pointed in a distant direction: "Exit from here and walk straight for twenty miles to reach our Flying Boat Pier."

"You need to take the flying boat; it’s more economical than teleportation."

"For one ride, as long as it’s within two months, it will all be charged at five thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones."

"Oh? Is that rate also applicable for just one day within those two months?"

When Ning Qi heard this, he couldn’t help but ask with a smile.

It seemed like this place was really unscrupulous.

Perhaps it was related to the abundant Spirit Stone resources here.

However, he didn’t mind either.

His objective was to find Xu Qingqiu.

As long as he could find her, it didn’t matter.

"Yes."

The guard agreed straightforwardly.

"Thank you."

Ning Qi said no more, turned around, and left.

"Master, I feel like he’s tricking us!"

Medicine Spirit looked back angrily, "Let me teach him a lesson."

"No need, there are probably experts guarding this place now."

"I can sense experts with True Immortal strength here."

"Let’s not cause trouble. We’ll check out the auction and prepare to set off."

Ning Qi shook his head and then looked ahead.

"Okay!"

Mentioning the auction, Medicine Spirit immediately got interested, happily bouncing on Ning Qi’s shoulder.

The two quickly reached the entrance of the auction they had visited before.

"Young master, are you here to attend our auction?"

A staff member saw them approach and eagerly came forward to ask.

"Yes, is there an auction happening now?"

Ning Qi nodded and asked.

"Yes, the next one starts in half a two-hour period!"

"You can come inside, choose a good spot, and wait for it to start!"

The staff member agreed and invited them inside.

"Okay!"

Ning Qi didn’t hesitate, nodding and walking in.

Once inside, they saw that there were already quite a few people in the auction hall.

Some people were heading further inside, while others were going upstairs.

"Young master, would you like to go directly to our auction hall or go upstairs?"

The attendant asked, inviting Ning Qi.

"What’s with the auction hall?"

Hearing this, Ning Qi asked curiously.

"It’s where many people gather."

"If you want a quiet, private area, then head upstairs to our private rooms."

"We have array restrictions, so people downstairs can’t detect you."

The attendant patiently explained to Ning Qi.

"Alright, we’ll go to a private room upstairs then!"
