Chapter 1276 - 567: Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s Auction (2)

Ning Qi nodded, then instructed the guards to leave.

"Yes!"

"... "

The guards respectfully accepted the order, and then hurriedly departed.

However, they only went as far as waiting at the garden’s entrance.

If Ning Qi had any need, these people would definitely come immediately.

Ning Qi didn’t mind, he just took a glance and then followed to the top floor of the pavilion.

Here, it was actually a rooftop terrace, with a view that overlooks the entire imperial city’s beautiful scenery.

"Master, this royal city is truly beautiful."

"Compared to some Immortal Doors, it’s equally impressive!"

Medicine Spirit was amidst the void, admiring everything in front of him.

Stunned, he exclaimed repeatedly.

"Indeed, when we return, I will also create such a city in our True Martial Spirit Realm."

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "The strength of people here is also quite formidable. When we return this time, we should start searching for the fragments of Buzhou Mountain."

"After the fusion, the spiritual qi of our True Martial Spirit Realm will also rise."

"At that time, our people’s strength will also be enhanced."

"Yes, Master!"

Medicine Spirit nodded, "But Buzhou Mountain is difficult to find, if it could be found, we would have sensed it long ago."

"That’s because I hadn’t activated my power. If I activate it, I can definitely attract people holding the fragments of Buzhou Mountain."

"Currently, our overall strength isn’t sufficient; doing it prematurely is too risky."

Ning Qi sighed and then looked towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect: "As the strongest sect here, I want to see if they have any information."

"That will depend on them."

Medicine Spirit nodded and then pointed towards the royal city: "Master, should we explore the city?"

"Perhaps we’ll uncover something fruitful."

"Are you talking about the auction?"

Ning Qi also thought of something.

"Yes, being a royal city, it should have some valuable items."

Medicine Spirit nodded eagerly, showing a keen interest.

"Then let’s go and check it out."

"Now that you mention it, we haven’t gone in quite a while."

"Since being tracked by those two girls last time, we haven’t had the chance to go again."

Ning Qi pondered and then said.

"Right, shall we go?"

Medicine Spirit nodded, already impatient.

"Let’s go, staying here is indeed boring; let’s leave!"

Ning Qi agreeably decided.

Then he followed and walked outside.

"Upper Immortal, where are you heading?"

The guard, seeing him coming out, hastened to approach respectfully and asked.

"To your local auction!"

Ning Qi replied directly: "Who among you knows the way, lead us there."

"Upper Immortal, this subordinate knows."

"Please follow me."

The guard nodded, then began guiding Ning Qi.

"Alright! Let’s proceed."

Ning Qi agreed, then let the guard lead the way.

He followed the guard, left the royal city, and arrived at the market.

They passed through several streets, eventually arriving at a bustling market here.

On either side of the street, there were shops lined up everywhere, along with crowds of people coming and going.

Many people were shouting.

Ning Qi looked around here, and couldn’t help but feel amazed.

The people here indeed seem much stronger than his True Martial Spirit Realm.

Moreover, resources are abundant.

"Upper Immortal, it’s just ahead!"

At this moment, the guard suddenly reminded Ning Qi.

"Alright, let’s move!"

Ning Qi agreed and let the guard continue leading the way.

"Yes!"

The guard accepted the order and then led Ning Qi to the entrance of the auction.

Upon entering, a clerk realized they were with the Forbidden Guards and promptly stepped up to greet them.

"Dear sir, are you here to attend the auction?"

The clerk, with a fawning smile, inquired.

"Do you have any premium private rooms available?"

The guard asked the clerk with a serious tone, after glancing at him.

"Yes, certainly, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, the clerk hurriedly agreed.

"Upper Immortal, please!"

The guard turned respectfully and said to Ning Qi.

His words made the clerk even more curious about Ning Qi’s identity.

For a Forbidden Guard to invite someone with such reverence, their status must be extraordinary.

Perhaps they are connected to the Royal Family.

So, the clerk became even more respectful.

He soon led them upstairs.

After finding a private room, he greeted them to enter.

"You two gentlemen, please enjoy the delicacies on the table!"

"If you need anything, just call us; we always have staff available!"

The clerk spoke to the two of them.

"Alright, you may leave."

The guard then instructed the clerk to depart.

"By the way, do the private rooms here have array restrictions?"

Ning Qi still remembered the event from last time, so he asked intentionally.

"Yes, sir, rest assured, your information will absolutely not be disclosed!"

The clerk promptly assured.

"Good, no one shall enter our private room again."

"Even if it’s to deliver items, wait at the door!"

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "If any information is leaked, be prepared to close your auction house!"

"Yes, indeed, sir, rest assured, there won’t be any problems!"

Upon hearing this, the clerk repeatedly promised.

"Alright, you may go!"

Ning Qi finally felt at ease and then let the clerk leave.

"Upper Immortal, this auction house is run by an elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

"There definitely won’t be any issues."

After the clerk left, the guard soothingly spoke to Ning Qi.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Ning Qi replied, then looked ahead.

He directly proceeded to the table and sat down.

The table indeed had some snacks and delicacies.

Clearly, it was prepared for distinguished guests who could attend.

"Master, it’s another feast!"

Medicine Spirit had already begun to eat.

"When does the auction here commence?"

Ning Qi also tasted the pastry, curiously asking.

"Upper Immortal, probably in about half a stick of incense’s time."

"They generally wait until the people downstairs are almost all here before starting."

"See downstairs, the seats are nearly filled."

The guard, upon his inquiry, pointed towards the crowd beneath the terrace.

It was indeed as he said; the seats were almost full.

"Mm, good."

"I want to see what treasures the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has for auction."

Ning Qi nodded with satisfaction, then focused his gaze ahead.

That was precisely where the counter was located, and where the auctioneer stood.

There were also several clerks on both sides, evidently tasked with assisting.

Ning Qi only glanced briefly, then retracted his gaze.

"Upper Immortal, this auction house is much more lively than others."

The guard began enthusiastically introducing: "Since it’s the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s auction, the items being auctioned are of immense value."

"Most people downstairs typically can’t afford them."

"But the ones in these private rooms all have the capability."

"Many of them are from other sects, as well as other dynasties."

"Oh? Do people coming here have such diverse backgrounds?"

Upon hearing him, Ning Qi curiously asked.

"Indeed, our Yue Country’s imperial city even has a sub-branch for investigations by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"

"Other sects’ sub-branches also exist."

The guard nodded, showing a bit of pride: "Because our Yue Country is the strongest among nearby dynasties."

"I see."

Medicine Spirit remarked, "Master, no wonder their spiritual qi is so abundant here; turns out, the location was chosen well."

"Primarily, their power is strong."

"Only then can they occupy such places rich in spiritual qi!"

Ning Qi glanced at Medicine Spirit, then analyzed: "In places like these, without absolute strength, it’s difficult to establish foothold."

"Indeed, Master, do you think tomorrow’s coronation ceremony for Princess Xiangxiang will proceed smoothly?"

Medicine Spirit first nodded, then suddenly recalled something and couldn’t help asking.

"That’s uncertain."

"However, I will support till the end."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued: "If anyone dares to disrupt, then let’s assist Xiangxiang in dealing with them."
