In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed.
Great Gold Origin Immortal Domain, Gold Gilt City.
Gold Gilt City was located in the northwestern region of the Great Gold Origin Celestial Realm. It was one of the few major cities in the Great Gold Origin Celestial Realm. It was as famous as Jiuyuan City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Nine Yuan Temple, Hundred Creation City, where the Hundred Creation Mountain was located, and Gold Origin City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Gold Origin Celestial Palace.
Unlike the other three cities, which obviously had their own masters, the Gold City was not ruled by a huge force. It was a relatively free place.
Many small and medium-sized forces of the Golden Origin Immortal Domain who were unwilling to be bullied by the Nine Origin Temple, Hundred Creation Mountain, and Golden Origin Immortal Palace were gathered in this city. They called themselves an alliance called the Life Moon Alliance.
Even though the Life Moon Alliance's combat prowess was not on par with the Nine Origin Temple and the Golden Origin Immortal Palace, it had great potential. Especially since it treated some small and medium-sized forces and itinerant cultivators well, it attracted more and more small and medium-sized forces to join it. In the blink of an eye, it was on par with the three major powers.
In the city, in the private room of a magnificent nine-story restaurant, three figures were sitting quietly and drinking. One of them was Han Li.
The other two were a young woman in a black dress and a white-robed young man. They were none other than the Weeping Soul Beast and Xiao Bai. Of course, they had also changed their appearances.
After Han Li came out from seclusion, even though the hundred years were not up yet, he still had some matters to attend to. Thus, he decided to come to the Great Goldenorigin Immortal Realm in advance.
Now that he had become a Grand Heavenly Immortal, his strength had increased greatly, and he was much more confident in his actions. He was no longer as cowardly as before.
It just so happened that Weeping Soul had finally awakened at this moment, and it had smoothly advanced into the Golden Immortal Realm as well, causing him to be greatly delighted.
"I didn't think that there would be such a place in the Major Gold Origin Immortal Domain. There aren't any people from the Nine Yuan Temple or the Gold Origin Immortal Palace. I can finally relax for a while." Xiao Bai held a cup of green wine and gulped it down, seemingly enjoying the taste.
Han Li shook his head and said, "Don't be careless. Although the Gold City is under the jurisdiction of the Life Alliance, who knows if the Jiuyuan Temple and the Golden Origin Palace have planted spies here. It's better to be careful."
"With Big Sister Weeping Soul around, there's nothing to worry about. She can sense the enemy's hostility. No one can hide from her," Xiao Bai said with a grin.
Han Li glanced at the Weeping Soul Beast, and a smile appeared on his face.
The Weeping Soul's ascension to the Grand Immortal Realm had not only boosted its strength, but its soul's senses had also risen to a whole new level as well. It was now able to sense the hostile emotions of its enemies, making it the most suitable way to sense its enemies.
Han Li gave it a try, but even with his powerful divine sense, he was unable to hide from the Weeping Soul Beast's senses.
Of course, if he were to protect himself with the power of the Laws of Time, he would be able to shield himself from the Weeping Soul Beast's detection. However, anyone who approached Han Li with the power of the Laws of Time would have their malicious intent written all over their faces.
"I cultivate the laws of the soul. Thus, it is only natural that my senses are more sensitive. However, don't put too much trust in my ability. Other cultivators who cultivate the laws of the soul have methods to conceal their soul fluctuations. They might be able to avoid my senses," the Weeping Soul said.
"There's actually such a thing?" Xiao Bai was startled.
"People who cultivate the Law of Soul are extremely rare, so it's unlikely that we'll encounter one. Moreover, if someone who cultivates the Law of Soul approaches, you should be able to sense it, Weeping Soul. At that time, we'll just have to be more careful.
With you around, our safety will definitely not be a problem. "Han Li smiled faintly. He seemed to be very confident in the Weeping Soul Beast.
"That's right. I believe in Sister Weeping Soul." A smile also appeared on Xiao Bai's face.
"Alright, I'll work harder and carefully investigate the surroundings." The Weeping Soul Beast rolled its eyes at the two of them, but the corners of its mouth curled up into a smile.
Han Li smiled and looked out the window of the private room with a slight frown.
He had been in Gold Origin City for some time now, and he had tried to find out more about the Jiuyuan Temple and Jin Tong through various channels in the city.
Unfortunately, the Major Goldenorigin Celestial Realm was in a state of turmoil. The Jiuyuan Temple had shrunk its forces and was stricter with its internal management. No matter how hard Han Li tried, he could not find much information about the Jiuyuan Temple, let alone Jin Tong.
"Master, don't worry. There's still a long time before the so-called Bodhi Banquet. Boss should be safe for now," Xiao Bai said.
Han Li nodded and looked out the window again.
Right at that moment, the sound of a bell rang out from afar and spread far and wide.
Han Li's eyes lit up, and he looked towards the source of the sound. His gaze fell on a large shop on the street in the distance.
The shop occupied more than ten miles of the street. It was built with a sky-blue material, and countless star-like light spots were flashing on it. It looked very majestic.
A jade Qilin statue was placed on both sides of the door of the shop. Beside the statue stood a group of guards wearing sky-blue vests and exuding a powerful aura. They were all body cultivators, and their strength was extraordinary. They had opened up more than a hundred Xuan Acupoints.
The sky-blue vests that these people wore glowed faintly. They were all Graded Celestial Weapons, which showed how extraordinary this place was.
Above the door of the shop, there was a huge horizontal board with the words "Sun Moon Pavilion" written in bold calligraphy. It exuded an overwhelming domineering aura, and it was obvious that the person who wrote it had an extremely high cultivation.
At that moment, rays of light flew from all over the sky and landed in front of the door of the Sun Moon Pavilion. Cultivators appeared and walked in.
These cultivators had extraordinary cultivation, and many of them were in the Taiyi Realm. They looked excited and discussed among themselves.
"This is the Million Treasure Festival that happens once every ten thousand years. I heard that there are many rare treasures that are rarely seen in the Sun Moon Pavilion's auction."
"The Sun Moon Pavilion is getting more and more popular recently. I heard that they plan to compete with Mount Baizao in the Million Treasure Festival this time. They must have prepared a lot of treasures. Our family's wealth is limited, so we can't participate. But it's good to have a look."
"I've brought all my belongings this time, hoping to buy one or two kinds of advanced elixirs to help me break through the realm."
"I plan to buy a convenient celestial weapon so that I can hunt fierce beasts in the Barbarian World!"
In a restaurant far away, Han Li also stood up.
"The auction is about to start. Let's go."
Hearing that, Little White immediately jumped up with a look of excitement on her face.
"Little White, although you used the mask of the Samsara Temple to conceal your aura, you have the power of the Real Spirit Bloodline of Senior Ink-Eyed Pi Xiu. The mask may not be able to conceal your aura.
There are many people at the auction, so it's better that you don't show up. "
Han Li suddenly said to Little White. Then, without waiting for it to reply, he waved his hand and a golden light wrapped around it. Little White, who was stunned, was put into the space of the branch.
"Let's go." After doing that, Han Li said to the Weeping Soul and walked downstairs.
"Yes." The Weeping Soul smiled sweetly and followed.
The reason why Han Li came to Gold Gilt City this time was not only to inquire about the Nine Yuan Temple, but also for the auction.
As a top crafting sect in the True Immortal World, Mount Baizao would organize a joint celebration every 10,000 years for the sake of its reputation and status. Basically, it would be conducted in the form of an auction. The people of the Major Golden Origin Celestial Realm called this grand event the Million Treasure Festival.
The other Chambers of Commerce of the Major Golden Origin Fairy Weapon would often take advantage of this period to hold some auctions and other matters to compete for the limelight or to take advantage of this opportunity to make some profits.
As an alliance force that was not much inferior to Mount Baizao, the Life Alliance naturally would not be indifferent to this event.
As the Life Alliance became more and more powerful, the competition between them and Mount Baizao during the Million Treasure Festival became more and more intense.
As one of the 36 Immortal Domains in the True Immortal World, the Major Golden Origin Celestial Realm had top sects such as the Nine Yuan Temple and Mount Baizao. In particular, Mount Baizao was a leading crafting sect. Therefore, there were countless precious materials flowing into the Major Golden Origin Celestial Realm from various small and medium Immortal Domains.
Therefore, the goods that appeared during the Million Treasure Festival were the rarest of the rarest.
When Han Li had first left the Eight Desolate Mountain, he had been racking his brains over how he was going to find the final object of the laws of time in order to bring his Five Elemental Illusionary Arts to full balance. It was only after learning about the Myriad Treasure Festival from the Samsara Palace that he was able to heave a sigh of relief.
He had originally planned to buy the last item of the Law of Time at all costs, but he did not expect to get it from Jiao San.
However, Han Li was still looking forward to the Million Treasure Festival.
After all, he was going to the Nine Yuan Temple soon. Before that, he needed to improve his strength as much as possible.
Moreover, it was not just him. Weeping Soul did not have a suitable fairy weapon after advancing to the Zenith Heaven. It would be best if he could get one or two during this time.
However, Mount Baizao had a close relationship with the Nine Yuan Temple and the Heavenly Court. Although the Million Treasure Festival held in the headquarters of Mount Baizao was the grandest, Han Li did not dare to go. That was why he came to Gold Gilt City. The auction held here was not much worse than the one held in the headquarters of Mount Baizao.
Han Li and Weeping Soul entered the Sun Moon Pavilion. In order to not attract attention, they suppressed their cultivation to the Late Primordial Unity Realm, but not lower.
It would be inconvenient to keep a low profile when participating in the auction.
"Seniors, welcome to the Sun Moon Pavilion for the auction. I am Lan Mei, a disciple in charge of the Sun Moon Pavilion. I am here to lead the way."
A beautiful girl in a blue dress with sky-blue eyebrows immediately came forward. She was a Late Golden Immortal.
"Lead the way," Han Li said lightly.
"Seniors, you are both at the peak of the Primordial Unity Jade Immortals. You are qualified to sit in the VIP seats. Please follow me," the girl with blue eyebrows said as she led the way.
"Do you have a list of the treasures that will be appearing in the Sun Moon Pavilion's auction?
I need to plan the distribution of the Immortal Meta Stones, "Han Li asked as they walked.
"Please have a look, seniors." Lan Mei took out two blue jade slips and handed them to Han Li and Weeping Soul.
"Usually, the auction will keep a strict list of the auction items. This way, it can arouse the curiosity of the guests. Secondly, it can make use of the mystery to earn more profits.
The Sun Moon Pavilion's auction is different from other places. They are willing to inform the guests about this beforehand, "Han Li said with a smile as he took the jade slips with a slightly surprised look on his face.
He was just asking casually. He did not expect that there would be a list of the items.
"These rules were personally issued by the leader of the Life Moon League. He said that honesty is the most important thing in doing business. There is no need to be deliberately mystifying.
The reason why the Life Moon League could develop to where it is today is because of our honesty.
This list can be considered a greeting gift for every guest that comes to the Sun Moon Pavilion. "Lan Mei revealed an expression of admiration as she spoke about the Union Master of the Sun Moon Union with a smile on her face.
