After Duan Ling Tian’s bid of 10,000 supre Celestial Stones, soone made a bid of 15,000 supre Celestial Stones. When Duan Ling Tian made a bid of 20,000 supre Celestial Stones, another person made a bid for 25,000 supre Celestial Stones.Upon realizing that no one from the Earth Rooms was making a bid for the profound-grade cultivation thod, the expressions of the two people in the main hall who had made a bid changed drastically. Hints of regrets flashed in their eyes as waves of anxieties rose in their hearts. They were truly afraid the person in the First Earth Room would look for trouble with them. After all, it was obvious now that the person in the First Earth Room was not a simple person. If he was just an ordinary person, would everyone in the Earth Rooms stay their hands?
...
anwhile, those in the Human Rooms who planned to bid as well changed their minds. No one dared to rock the boat.
Those in the Human Rooms might have a relatively better background compared to those in the main hall, but they still could not compare to those in the Earth Rooms.
Anyone with a position or status would be seated in the Earth Rooms after all. When the people in the Human Rooms did not see any signs of movent from the people in the Earth Rooms, they followed the cue and did not make a bid for the profound-grade cultivation thod as well.
...
On the stage, the beautiful lady’s enchanting voice rang out again. “The profound-grade cultivation thod, the Dark Nether Fuse Profundity Technique, the current bid is 30,000 supre Celestial Stones from the guest in the First Earth Room. Do we have any other offer?”
Seeing no one was making a bid, the beautiful lady began to say, “30,000 supre Celestial Stones, going once... going twice...”
The beautiful lady was about to finish the count and announce Duan Ling Tian as the winner of the profound-grade cultivation thod, the Dark Nether Fuse Profundity Technique, when everyone began to whisper among themselves...
“There’s soone in the First Heaven Room!”
“The window is open. Soone must be in there! I wonder which prince or old prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom is in there?”
“The old princes of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom rarely co to the Nian clan’s auction house... I think it should be one of the princes.”
“I guess only those average princes would attend a small-scale auction in the Nian clan’s auction house... Nevertheless, whoever is in the First Heaven Room has no need to fear the person in the First Earth Room.”
“I wonder if the person in the First Heaven Room would bid for this profound-grade cultivation thod?”
As they whispered among themselves, they looked up at the First Heaven Room, trying to catch a glimpse of whoever was in the room.
...
“The First Heaven Room? A small-scale auction in the Nian clan’s auction house managed to attract soone from the Imperial family?” Duan Ling Tian who was in the First Earth Room was slightly surprised. He was not worried about the person bidding against him. He was determined to obtain the profound-grade cultivation thod, the Dark Nether Fuse Profundity Technique. However, he would only pay 100,000 supre Celestial Stones at most for the profound-grade cultivation thod, any more than that would not be worth it. He wondered if the person in the First Heaven Room would bid against him.
“Nonetheless, I didn’t expect the other guests in the Fleeting Ti Inn would be afraid of bidding against just because I killed a fellow guest without any consequences...”
...
After so ti had passed, no one made a bid on the profound-grade cultivation thod. Upon seeing this, the beautiful lady no longer stalled for ti. She quickly announced the winner of the profound-grade cultivation thod, the Dark Nether Fuse Profundity Technique. “30,000 supre Celestial Stones, sold! Congratulations to the guest in the First Earth Room for acquiring the Dark Nether Fuse Profundity Technique with 30,000 supre Celestial Stones.”
30,000 supre Celestial Stones for a profound-grade cultivation thod was an extrely great deal!
Upon seeing this, many people in the auction house were puzzled.
“The person in the First Heaven Room didn’t make a bid?”
“How is that surprising? The guest in the First Heaven Room is definitely a mber of the Imperial family. Would soone from the Imperial family be lacking in profound-grade cultivation thods? Apart from that, the Imperial family isn’t lacking in money as well so there’s no need for them to bid for the cultivation thod to sell it at a profit.”
“That’s true.”
“I wonder which prince is in the First Heaven Room?”
...
While people in the auction house were discussing the person in the First Heaven Room, the person they were discussing, Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, was in shock. “H-he... He’s interested in a profound-grade cultivation thod?”
Long Fei Yun tapped the jade bracelet on his wrist as he thought to himself, ‘A disciple from a powerful sect outside of the Wasteland is interested in a profound-grade cultivation thod? Impossible. I wonder... could it be that he’s not a disciple from a powerful sect outside of the Wasteland?’
Long Fei Yun had attended the small-scale auction in the Nian clan’s auction house not because he was interested in the auction. He had only co because of Duan Ling Tian.
Although the Nian clan supported the seventh prince, the innkeeper of the Fleeting Ti Inn was one of his n. For this reason, he had learned about the confrontation between the fourth prince and Duan Ling Tian before the seventh prince heard about it.
...
The auction continued. There was nothing else that caught Duan Ling Tian’s attention. He had achieved what he ca here to do.
As ti passed, the auction was drawing to a close as well. As such, Duan Ling Tian prepared to return to the Fleeting Ti Inn along with the other guests.
All of a sudden, a voice rang from outside the First Earth Room. “Sir.”
When Duan Ling Tian turned to look at the door, the servant girl standing next to him quickly said, “Young Master Duan, the voice belongs to Elder Yu, the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house.”
“The person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house?” Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. He was curious as to why the person in charge of the auction house would look for him. He said to the servant girl, “Open the door.”
The servant girl did not waste any ti and opened the door. Then, she bowed respectfully at the old man standing at the entrance. “Elder Yu.”
The old man walked into the room and slightly bowed at Duan Ling Tian. “Sir, I’m the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house. His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince, would like to et you. Would you be agreeable to that?”
‘The thirteenth prince? So the person in the First Heaven Room is the thirteenth prince.’ Duan Ling Tian’s eyes flashed briefly. He knew a little about the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. He knew the thirteenth prince was as outstanding as the fourth and seventh princes. In fact, it could be said that the thirteenth prince was even more outstanding than the fourth and seventh princes. If it were not for the fact that the Emperor of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom did not favor the thirteenth prince, he would be the most likely candidate to ascend the throne. Finally, he nodded and replied to the old man, “Okay.”
After Duan Ling Tian agreed to the request, the old man stepped out of the room and respectfully gestured to Duan Ling Tian to walk ahead. When they arrived at the First Heaven Room, he said, “His Highness, the Thirteenth Prince, is inside. Please enter.”
When Duan Ling Tian entered the room, he finally saw the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom. ‘The rumor is true. The thirteenth prince is indeed very handso. His appearance and features are a perfect balance of masculinity and femininity.’ Soon after, his attention was drawn to the middle-aged man who stood behind the thirteenth prince. Although the middle-aged man had an average appearance, he had a dependable air about him. Moreover, he also noticed the middle-aged man had a distinct aura about him even though it was very subtle. The reason he had noticed the subtle aura was due to him encountering an almost similar aura in the past. The aura had left a lasting impression on him.
‘This aura... It feels similar to Murong Bing’s aura.’ The aura that left a lasting impression on Duan Ling Tian belonged to Murong Bing who had an intimate encounter with him. He was certain one would only emit that aura after one’s cultivation base had reached a certain stage. Moreover, he was certain they unconsciously emitted the aura because they could not completely conceal it.
Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, greeted Duan Ling Tian with a smile as soon as Duan Ling Tian entered the room. “I’m Long Fei Yun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom... How should I address you, brother?”
“My last na is Duan.” Duan Ling Tian nodded at Long Fei Yun before he pointed to the seats. “Please take a seat, Thirteenth Prince.”
Long Fei Yun took a seat before he said to the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house in an indifferent tone, “Bring your n out. I have so things to discuss with Brother Duan.”
“Yes, Your Highness,” Elder Yu, the person in charge of the Nian clan’s auction house, replied respectfully before he brought his n and the servant girl in the First Heaven Room out.
Long Fei Yun turned his attention back to Duan Ling Tian. When he spoke to Duan Ling Tian, he spoke with a tone that one would use with one’s close acquaintance. “Brother Duan, I heard about you a few days ago... I have to say, you’re probably the first person in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom who’s bold enough to openly oppose the Zhou clan’s fourth miss.”
Duan Ling Tian raised an eyebrow and said, “It seems like soone in the Fleeting Ti Inn works for you.” Although the conflict between him and Zhou Shu Dong was no secret in the Soaring Dragon Celestial Kingdom, not many people knew he was staying in the Fleeting Ti Inn, let alone recognize him. For example, there was quite a large number of guests from the inn who ca to the auction house with him. They did not recognize him even though they heard about the conflict between him and Zhou Shu Dong.
