2024-02-06 17:00:52On the 2nd floor, a 40-year-old man appeared wearing fancy clothes. He was Manager Luo of the Hall of Treasures. He arrived with an elder - Master Ye, the Symbol Master of the Hall of Treasures. Master Ye's job was to appraise amulets, inscriptions, or spirit objects that used symbols. Master Ye's presence will verify all objects related to the Symbol Master.
Yuan Fen and Yi Zan greeted Manager Luo and Master Ye while Ayin introduced the two children to them.
"May I see what items you will sell, young man?" Manager Luo said to Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.
Without hesitation, Yuan Fen showed the three types of talismans he had made, all according to the Techniques taught by Yi Zan. Of the three talismans, there was a healing talisman, a teleportation talisman, and a 50-meter teleportation talisman.
Manager Luo frowned as he saw it was a 2nd-grade talisman made by a 2nd-grade Symbol Master of a Seal Master. However, there was a very strong mental power coming from the three talismans. He carefully passed the two talismans to Mr. Ye, who would verify them.
"Grade 2 talismans with an almost perfect score," said Mr. Ye, surprised by the quality of the Talismans. Even he, as the 4th Seal Symbol Master, could only produce talismans with an Intermediate Venti level. Mr. Ye spoke with Manager Luo, confirming that second-grade Talismans were of excellent value and quality. It was rare for a Symbol Master to be able to make talismans of such good quality.
"May I know who your teachers are?" asked Master Ye.
"We are disciples of the Cloud Sword Sect, and I am the grandson of the Sect's Green Peak Master," Yi Zan said.
"Ah, that's fitting," said Teacher Ye, nodding, understanding that they were the disciple and grandson of Green Peak Master, a famous Symbol Master in the Morning Star City Region.
"Ehem... Young lord and lady, Treasure Hall would like to purchase the Talisman you are holding. Of course, at a reasonable price. However, you should know that currently, within our Emerald Hall, an auction of quality items is taking place. We can include these three types of talismans in the auction if you are interested. We can auction them off, and you will get the highest bid," said Manager Luo.
"However, you need to know that the Treasure Hall will take a 15% fee from all the items we auction," Manager Luo added, glancing anxiously at the two children.
"Oh, can we? I don't think this brother will mind the 15% fee. And I think this is a good opportunity to add to our experience. However, we don't have an invitation to join the auction event. Does entering an auction event like this require an exclusive invitation?" asked Yi Zan.
Manager Luo was secretly overjoyed at successfully negotiating for the Treasure Hall's 15% profit. Normally, sellers often bid only 10%. He quickly took out two tokens and gave them to Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.
"This is Treasure Hall's VIP customer token. By showing this token, you can join the auction anytime and get a 5% discount on our merchandise." Manager Luo explained.
They were guided by Ayin, who faithfully accompanied them. This time, the servant girl would get a big bonus for providing the best service to the seller who registered an almost perfect Talisman value in the Hall of Treasures auction.

A dashing young man stood displaying a sword in the center of the room, arranged like a semi-circular theater. His good looks were even more obvious as he was illuminated by the light from the three rock crystals above the room.
"It turns out that the person leading the auction event is Ruan Ceng," Yi Zan whispered to Yuan Fen.
"And he holds quite a respected position in this Treasure Hall," Yuan Fen said.
With a loud voice, Ruan Ceng stood up and exclaimed, "This is Trenta's supreme Mortal Grade Sword. It is made of pure steel mined from the Liang mountain range in the Northernmost Region's Ice Plains region. It has even been chanted and equipped with power-enhancing symbols by Seal 5 Symbol Master. The power of this sword will increase the wearer's combat ability by 15%."
"Since this item is good, the auction price is 1000 Demi low-level energy stones or 10 Venti. Each bid must be a multiple of 50 energy stones. The auction begins. Please!" exclaimed Ruan Ceng loudly while the situation in the room became boisterous.
"Increase combat power by 15%. Wow, that's amazing."
"Our sect needs that sword; let me buy it."
"Shut up, you! You think only your sect needs a sword this good. No, I'll take a chance this time." The bidders were boisterous, scrambling to get the sword.
Ultimately, the Trenta-class Mortal Steel Sword went to a man wearing a Doupeng (a straw hat surrounded by a black veil so his face could not be seen). The man bid up to 2700 Demi-grade energy stones. No one else was willing to bid after the price rose to 2700 energy stones. There was an aura of satisfaction on his body.
"The next item is the Mortal Rank Warrior Shoe, which is also a high-grade Trenta," Ruan Ceng hadn't finished explaining the benefits of the shoe, and the voice in the auction room sounded again. All the bidders, including Yuan Fen and Yi Zan, enthusiastically auctioned off items.
"These shoes are made from King 4 Dark Beast Leopard cultivation leather. By using this kind of runner-type Dark Beast leather, the strength of the wearer's running speed and battle dodging ability will increase by 7%. Even before being spoken to by the Seal 5 Symbol Master. These Leopard Shoes were already proclaimed by Symbol Master Seal 5, so the additional evasion ability increased by 15%. When the Dark Beast's 7% ability is added with the symbol seal 5's 15%, you'll get a 22% increase in evasion ability when doing battle or running," Ruan Ceng explained. At the same time, the room became very boisterous due to the enthusiasm of the participants.
"We are opening these Leopard Shoes at 3000 Demi-class or 30 Venti-class energy stones. Any increase in the bidding price should be 100 from the previous price," said Ruan Ceng.
The atmosphere became more boisterous when they heard that the price of Leopard Shoes was at least 3000 energy stones. Many immediately retreated after hearing such a high price.
"5000 Demi-class energy stones. And please give us a face to be able to win the auction this time," came a voice from the VIP balcony on the back right. All the bidders immediately turned their heads toward the balcony. Nothing was visible except for a thin, black, misty curtain from the balcony area.
Yuan Fen glanced at Yi Zan, and in an instant, both of them directed mental energy toward the balcony to try to see who was behind the misty black curtain.
However, neither of their mental energies could penetrate the black curtain.
"Someone with an enlightened Cultivation Spirit Realm," Yi Zhan whispered. "His Cultivation Realm is equivalent to a peak master in the Cloud Sword Sect," he was surprised to learn that fact.
"If it's the Spirit Condensation Realm realm, at least we can still pierce through the curtain even though the images displayed by our mental energy will be blurry," Yi Zan explained to Yuan Fen.
"I never thought that today we would meet someone with such a high cultivation level," Yuan Fen said. He immediately recalled the 3 types of grass he needed to reach Mortal Realm 5. Instantly, his heart felt sad, and his face became gloomy.
While Yuan Fen was lamenting his fate, he didn't even realize that the Mysterious Person on the VIP balcony had won the auction of the Leopard Shoes for 5000 Energy Stone Demi. It seemed that no one dared to bid higher, all saving their strength for valuable items in the next auction.
"Right now, let's take a short break. The following herbal auction is for entertainment, and then we'll enter the exciting auction," Ruan Ceng continued.
"This is the Light Cyperus Grass Herb, which has many uses. Apart from being a tonic for the body, it can also help with cultivation under the 5th Mortal Realm," Ruan Ceng began to open the herbal auction.
Not having finished hearing the price of Light Cyperus Grass, Yuan Fen suddenly became agitated because it was one of the grasses he needed to reach Mortal Realm 5.

"We are opening this Light Cyperus Grass Herb for only 50 Demi grade Energy Stones. Each bid is a multiple of 10 energy stones," Ruan Ceng concluded for the herbal grass auction price.Restlessly, Yuan Fen complained softly and resignedly, thus attracting Yi Zan's attention."Big brother worker, do you need this grass? I saw you become agitated when the herbs started to be auctioned off," Yi Zan whispered to Yuan Fen.Meanwhile, bids began to be heard from the bidders in the room."60 energy stones!""Give it to me! 70 energy stones." It was time for the high-priced bargaining to begin in the room.Yuan Fen replied limply, "Actually, this Light Cyperus Grass is one of the ingredients for a potion that will help me break through the Mortal Realm 5 realm in no time. I already have the Yellow Phylanthus. And it still requires 2 more ingredients, where one of those auctioned herbs is the missing ingredient for my later potion," Yuan Fen said to Yi Zan."In that case, let me bid on that he

After the auction, the two children headed to the lobby on the 2nd floor to complete the administration of buying and selling auction items.At that moment, Manager Luo was seen serving customers. Yuan Fen and Yi Zan patiently waited for their turn to be served.Suddenly, "Miss Zuo and Brother Wang, we meet here again," Ruan Ceng said in greeting.The two children turned and looked at the young master. "I heard that the three types of talismans auctioned off earlier belonged to you. Perfect quality items," Ruan Ceng added with praise."Thank you for helping us, Bro Ruan Ceng. We're delighted with the price we got," Yuan Fen said with a smile.Ruan Ceng offered a favour, "Actually, what are your plans next? If you want to take a tour of our Treasure Hall, I'd be happy to help,"Excited!"I want to buy a sword to practice with. But the prices of items in this place are quite high. So, I must choose one that suits my financial capabilities," Yuan Fen said.He pondered for a while, then s

Outside Morning Star City, as the sky emitted an orange color as evening approached, two teenage boys, Yuan Fen and Yi Zan, stood waiting for the arrival of the Winged Horse.Meanwhile, all the Cloud Sword Sect students had left the Magical Beast transport area, and the surroundings had become extremely quiet. The Beast Tamers had also left the place and returned to Morning Star City.Not caring about the time showing that it was approaching evening, the two children were chatting annoyingly with each other. Yuan Fen blushed when Yi Zan teased her with all the combat items she had just bought at the Treasure Hall."Worker brother... I'm afraid that when you become a symbol master, your daily life will be filled with hard work to make talismans and then sell them to buy items that enhance your appearance. Truly, you are a super teenager," Yi Zan teased."Hahaha... let me be a dandy; the most important thing is that I can be strong," Yuan Fen retorted.The two laughed at each other's jo

At that crucial moment, the hitman began to threaten. His voice sounded low, making the blu dull dim."Then, you must die this instant," the assassin snapped as he levitated towards Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.While Yi Zan was about to give up his life, Yuan Fen suddenly released a sound with potent mental energy. The effect seemed to affect the assassin's movements."Shut up and don't move," a potent mental energy aura hit the assassin. It was as if an invisible force enveloped him, so his hovering movement stopped mid-air. He stood still and froze.Immediately, the male assassin panicked. From the gleam in his eyes, it could be seen that he was trying to rebel and exert himself to escape from the overflow of mental energy that enveloped him.Slowly, Yuan Fen walked up to the increasingly panicked and silent assassin."Aren't you in the middle of a vast ocean right now? Look carefully; huge waves are crashing over you, and you are helplessly tossed about in this ocean. And most importantly,

It was a rather cloudy day in the Cloud Sword Sect Mountain Range. The air was really cold as autumn would soon change to Snow season. Everyone was busy preparing for the coming winter. Preparations included gathering firewood for the cold weather and stocking up on food and other durable materials that would be needed during the winter.In one of the Cloud Sword Sect's worker disciple huts, Yuan Fen was still vigorously striving in his cultivation process to reach the Five Mortal Realm. Currently, he was feeling extremely frustrated as there were no signs that he would manage to break through the defenses blocking his cultivation progress."Do I really have to return to the Fairy Cliff Forest?" lamented Yuan Fen.After thinking for a while, he felt that going to the Fairy Cliff Forest was the only way to reach the Five Mortal Realm in the near future. Moreover, the recruitment day of the Sect Outer Court Students would arrive in 2 weeks."It's likely that the only way is to search fo

"A lonely night with a dead moon illuminated Yuan Fen, who stood alone in the forest. Suddenly, he felt startled, hearing a whisper in his ear. Confused, he turned around and exclaimed, 'Who is it...?'But there was no answer. The forest remained as silent as before.'Did I hear that voice talking about the 5 Sword Kings' Sword Technique and War Chant?' Yuan Fen felt confused. Could this be the chant that Fengyin used to sing? Impossible.Saluting and apologizing, he spoke to those who might be observing him within the forest. Yuan Fen was sure something greater was behind these events, that had been observing his steps on the Fairy Cliff.'What do I know, this forest is the result of a treaty between humans and the Xianren race?' he thought. 'The battle and the song I sang must have interfered.'Suddenly, a coughing sound was heard. The shadow of a person began to appear from within the forest. The man was very handsome, but his appearance was unfamiliar and strange. His hair was a m

"Mercy, Elder. I beg you to assign a task to me. I, Yuan Fen, am ready to obey the orders and accept your punishment. I know I have made a mistake by peeking at your sword techniques and even using them in battle," Yuan Fen said humbly.Yuan Fen had a sportsmanlike nature and did not hesitate to admit fault if he was guilty.Yuan Fen's attitude visibly moved Suma Chen. He replied, "Alright, seeing your chivalrous spirit and sportsmanship in admitting fault, I will forgive you. I spare your life."However, Suma Chen gave an understanding, "Please remember, only Elven descendants or direct disciples of the Suma family are allowed to use this Snow Lotus Pure Heart sword technique."Suma Chen, with regret, replied, "I am very sorry. However, I must paralyze your cultivation. I see tremendous potential in you, and I believe you will become one of the outstanding geniuses in this Northern Region."Yuan Fen asked further, "Except what, honorable Elder? I am ready to do anything. Just let me

"Please accept this Peony Flower Token. The Peony Token symbolizes royalty in the Elven world. When the Elven people see this token, the bearer is honored and respected because it represents a Duke among the Elves," Suma Chen said as he gave the token to Yuan Fen."When you visit the Elven world sometime in the future, take this Peony token. If you encounter any trouble, show this Peony. The Elves will respect you as they respect me as an Elven noble," Suma Chen added."However, you can only visit the Elven world when your cultivation level has reached the realm of the Spirit Condensation Realm. It is extremely risky for a Mortal Realm to pass through the spatial passage that connects the human and Elven worlds. With a Mortal Realm cultivation level like the one you have now, passing through the spatial passageway would only cause your body to be severely injured," Suma Chen explained with a gasp."When the time comes, and you are in the world of the Xianren domain, look for an Xianre

The teenager pretended to be busy; he was more interested in talking to the two followers of Ming Jiaw's religion.Jiayi almost exploded in anger. If she hadn't been restrained by Guo Jiang, she would have gone over and stabbed the teenage genius of Ming Jiaw's religion.Jiayi instantly became grumpy. She said as she stomped her foot in annoyance."That boy is really arrogant.He ignored us both like trash.Is it because we are from a notorious neutral sect that we are disgusted?I want to challenge him to a hundred moves," Jiayi said hatefully.Guo Jiang smiled faintly and did not take the rude attitude to heart. He said trying to console her."No need to think too much about it. If he doesn't want to be friends with us at least we already have three other friends from the white and neutral stream sects, they are also young geniuses that count in the ranks of this Silver Continent Ruler sect," Guo Jiang said consolingly.Soon Jiayi's anger disappeared. Guests arrived one after anothe

It's better for Guo Jiang to sit behind you, rather than in front of you together with Jiayi sister, and make people think I'm part of your Fuji Flower Island.I feel unworthy to sit on the top row of seats of the Continent's ruling Eight Star Sect."Without waiting for Huang Guowei's approval, the youngster hurriedly moved and sat behind Huang Guowei, who also had three empty seats available."Brother Guo Jiang, you're too modest. Well then, let Jiayi also move and sit with brother Guo Jiang behind this seat of honor!"Jiayi, who suddenly felt bad about Guo Jiang's attitude, then hurriedly took the action of moving, now sitting together with Guo Jiang.She ignored the annoyed look that Huang Guowei's eyes seemed to be glaring at her, as if ordering her to go back to the front seat. After all, Jiayi was the daughter of their Fuji Flower Island employer. Huang Guowei wanted her to sit next to him.With a grin on her face, Jiayi whispered softly."Master... allow Jiayi to sit together w

In the morning on Ice Island, the weather was terrible. The air was bitterly cold as snowflakes seemed to fall, looking like flying cotton, all making the ground look like a silver tapestry on the surface of Ice Island.It was so cold that even many visitors wearing thick coats and furry gloves felt numbness in their hands and cracks in their skin as if they had been cut.Even though it was sin sie (7 to 9am), the sun hadn't come out yet, because it was covered by clouds and the morning looked like it was still night.However, the Ice Island disciples since early in the morning were seen busy taking care of the small arena, which was located in the courtyard of the hall of the island's ruler's residence called the Ice Island Palace.The small arena was neatly arranged with wooden beams covered with white tapestries, matching the color of the Ice Island's surface. But now that the weather had turned snowy, the white tapestries were actually snow tapestries, glittering like silver and p

Meanwhile, while Jiayi thought that Lin Haoyu was Guo Jiang's brother's made-up name, on the contrary, the two young geniuses from the Peach Moon Sect and the Zhao Clan were shocked to hear the name Lin Haoyu, Guo Jiang's teacher.Zhao Hua and Yin Fu He glanced at each other then whispered."No wonder at such a young age he already possesses combat power far above that of a level 3 Earth rank Cultivator, even at the final level.I feel that his attack contains 1,900 jin of pure air.""I'm not surprised. The teacher who guided him directly was Mr. Lin Haoyu. He is the Ice Island Lord's representative whose name shook the Martial World some time ago."Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua were now also reluctant of Guo Jiang. That youngster was the direct disciple of the Deputy Island Sovereign, whose cultivation level was even higher than that of the Ice Island Sovereign.Meanwhile, Jiayi, who had been very enthusiastic about seeing the gathering of young heroes from various sects, consisting of the
Autumn Melody, Magic Unraveled.
It is forbidden to use enchantments and magic on this Ice Island!" Guo Jiang sang a verse of Autumn Arrives.Guo Jiang's voice sounded echoing; it sounded like the tone of a person who was humming enchanting magic. During the fall, Guo Jiang's voice can be heard as far as one lie, to the point that his charm has influenced the creatures of the night, now flocking to the seashore.The mysterious air that had previously enveloped Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua instantly vanished when the hum of When Autumn Comes rang out and dispersed Mahya's enchanting magic.Like people who just woke up from sleep, Yin Fu He and Zhao Hua suddenly came to their senses. The two of them shook their heads to shake off the dizziness—it was the mesmerizing charm that Mahya the Magus girl had cast.Wush-wush!The two geniuses from the Peach Moon Sect and the Zhao Clan hurriedly jumped back when they realized the alluring magic."Magic!" the two hissed, now more cautiously not daring to look at Mahya who was also sho

Jiayi, who had been hiding since the appearance of the girl with the magic aura, could no longer bear to stay hidden.She immediately jumped out from behind the ice mountain where she and Guo Jiang were hiding. That action made Zhao Hua and Yin Fu He surprised. But the newly appeared girl maintained her smile.The slightly dark-skinned magus girl with a foreign look was attractive not only to men, but even Jiayi, a girl, was fascinated."Are you a Spirit Master of Spirit of Moon rank?Let me guess. I don't think it would be wrong for me to refer to you as a magus from the West, would it?" Jiayi said loudly, making all the eyes that had been focused on the unique girl now turn to her—a beautiful petite girl, also containing a mysterious and enchanting aura."How could two young and beautiful girls suddenly appear on this deserted beach?" Yin Fu He wondered inwardly. His head was spinning; there were two beautiful girls now in front of his eyes.Meanwhile,The magus girl threw a friendl

Jiayi looked uneasy. She didn't want the two White Stream Sect Leader geniuses to kill each other."Cool brother Jiang, can't you break up those two youngsters?Your cultivation is much higher than Jiayi's.It would be much easier if one is from the same cultivation realm, compared to my low cultivation self, to separate those two youngsters who seem to be going crazy," Jiayi said with an expectant look at Guo Jiang.Guo Jiang thought for a moment. He considered the risk if he showed his snow lotus technique. He looked for an excuse to refuse."Then what answer should I give to that Yin Fu He? On the other hand, we both also watched him practicing with their Peach Moon Sect's secret techniques," Guo Jiang asked back.Jiayi was a resourceful teenager. With just a quick thought, she had come up with the right answer, just in case Yin Fu He turned his anger on the two of them."About that, brother Guo Jiang doesn't need to worry. I have thought of the right answer to silence Yin Fu He. F
Fifteen Steps, Endless Blades.
The sword in Yin Fu He's hand was getting closer to Zhao Hua's back when it glowed in rainbow colors. Beautiful but dangerous.Jiayi was wide-eyed at the sight. Her heart was upset that there wasn't the slightest defense from Zhao Hua, who still seemed indifferent."You stupid dandy, he thinks the Rainbow Sword Technique is only a low-grade technique," Jiayi tensed up in fascination at the beauty of the Rainbow Sword.Suddenly, unexpectedly, Zhao Hua turned around quickly. His face broke into a faint smile, a look of disdain on his face. He wasn't stupid enough to just let the sword in Yin Fu He's hand split him in half.With a cold snort, his hand quickly brought out the sword that had been ready to come out of its sheath, too fast for the naked eye to follow.In a swift motion, still in a hovering state, Zhao Hua returned the sword strokes, now his demeanor changed from clumsy to serious and authoritative looking. His voice chanting the sword incantation was loud enough to raise the
Perfume and Sword Shadows.
Jiayi was just about to jump out from behind the snow mountain and apologize to Yin Fu He, but her movement was stopped. Guo Jiang gripped the girl's adoration tightly, so tightly that she wanted to scream in pain.Her eyes bulged like they were going to pop out of their sockets, but her heart calmed down at the sight of Brother Guo Jiang's shady eyes."Hold back, sister Jiayi.We should not act rashly. The matter of peeping at people practicing their stash techniques is embarrassing.We should wait a little longer and see what happens. My guess is that Yin Fu He is too prejudiced. How could he possibly detect the two of us who are quietly safe due to the status of this protective Talisman?" said Guo Jiang, stepping cautiously with distrust of that Yin Fu He.There was silence, but the sea breeze carrying vapor and ice grains sounded rough.Five winks passed, and Yin Fu He seemed to lose his patience. Sword sounds rang out as the youngster of the Crescent Moon Sect drew a sword. His f
