Chapter 205: Chapter 204: The Pursuit of Learning Never Ends

Translator: 549690339

Feiyun Commerce Association is the biggest commerce association in Jiuzhou. It is rumored that the high ranks of the association consist of more than a dozen cultivators at the Body Integration Realm. Once, an elderly man at the Body Integration Realm tried to forcibly grab auction items because of his high cultivation level. However, instead of succeeding, he was severely injured by a few Body Integration cultivators of the association.

This clearly displays the terror of the association.

As for who these more than a dozen Body Integration cultivators are, it is not something that ordinary people would know.

Of course, Jiang Li knows who are the cultivators behind Feiyun Commerce Association.

After all, how could one expand in Jiuzhou without reporting to the Imperial Palace?

A power that has more than a dozen cultivators at the Body Integration Realm can be termed as terrifying. This is already infinitely close to the level of the six great sects.

Sky Mechanism Tower and Feiyun Commerce Association both belong to this category.

The headquarters of the Feiyun Commerce Association is located in Great Zhou, and it has several branches throughout Jiuzhou.

To accomplish the system task, Jiang Li certainly couldn’t go to the headquarters of Feiyun Commerce Association. After all, no aristocratic disciple in Great Zhou would teach you a lesson for this kind of thing.

Instead, he decided to go to Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty, where the internal conflicts among the human race were the most intense. Jiang Li had been to the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty during his weak period, and it was quite a sight with arrogant aristocratic disciples everywhere who looked down on people.

After Yu Yin took the throne, he didn’t deal with this situation, because the fortune of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty lies in its internal strife. The more intense the infighting, the more tense the situation, and the stronger the nation’s fortune.

Jiang Li arrived at the new capital of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty and entered the auction site in disguise.

A servant gave Jiang Li a list of today’s auction items. The list was filled with extremely rare treasures.

Ninety percent of these treasures could be found in Jiang Li’s storage ring.

This indicates what kind of good items are in the auction.

After all, ordinary items could not make it into Jiang Li’s storage ring.

The list did not list all the items to be auctioned. It mentioned that three items were to be auctioned last. As for what these three items were, where they came from, and what the starting bid was, the list did not mention a word.

Jiang Li didn’t care; he could bid for anything anyway.

In terms of wealth, perhaps there are few in Jiuzhou that could compare to him.

Jiang Li never worries about money.

Money is just a small thing for writing a few Body Integration Realm cultivation techniques.

Of course, the cultivation techniques sold in Jiuzhou are different from those sold to the system. The techniques Jiang Li sells are very practical.

Jiang Li has his positioning very clear. If he wants aristocratic disciples to be unhappy with him and want to rob him or teach him a lesson, then he should be a nouveau riche with money, no fame, and low cultivation level.

Jiang Li saw a familiar face in a black robe in the venue and happily sat next to him.

“We meet again.”

“Human, mind your tone, don’t get too familiar.” The man did not appreciate Jiang Li’s enthusiasm.

Jiang Li didn’t mind and said indifferently, “I wonder if Yu Yin knows that you have come out.”

The man beside him shook, suddenly realizing who this person sitting next to him was.

“Jiang, Brother Jiang?

“Don’t be so friendly, just call me human.”

“Listen to you, I said ‘human’.” The man forced a smile, “You can’t tell my master about this.”

The man was wearing a black robe, and he had used a formation that prevented others from probing his true identity with their divine sense, making it impossible for others to see his true identity. But in front of Jiang Li, such a formation was virtually useless.

Jiang Li used his divine sense to find out that the man was not a human, but a yellow-skinned gourd, set up with a spell inside a black robe.

An Immortal Artifact, the Ruyi Gourd.

“Sneaked out, did you?”

“Not at all.” The Ruyi Gourd denied immediately before stammering, “I did tell my master that I was going out of the palace for a walk, but I didn’t specify that I was coming to the auction.”

“What’s the big deal about coming to the auction? Are you afraid that Yu Yin will find out?”

The Ruyi Gourd chuckled without answering.

“What brings you here…”

“To find a few guys with bad eyesight and let them beat me.”

The Ruyi Gourd shivered. Let them beat you? The reality should be to let them be beaten by you.

“Look, it’s Wang Bian, the envoy of Confucianism!”

Someone exclaimed, attracting attention.

As expected, Wang Bian, dressed in a Confucian robe, was elegant and gentle in demeanor. He was received by the servant and entered the VIP room.

Normally, even the Ruyi Gourd could also enter this kind of room. However, for some reason, it chose to hide its identity and sat in the ordinary seats.

“Strange, there isn’t anything that the Confucian school would need on this list.” Someone was puzzled. Although the items for auction today were significant, they weren’t at a level that would attract the interest of the Confucian envoys.

“Could it be the three hidden treasures?

“Why has someone from the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy come as well, and it’s the Vice President Meng?”

“Your information is outdated. A few years ago, Jiang Human Emperor scored last in the entrance examination because of his disrespect towards Jiang Human Emperor, and the president of the Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy was replaced. Now it’s not Vice President Meng, but President Meng.”

“I see.”

“However, it’s strange. The items being auctioned this time aren’t rare enough for such big shots to personally attend.” Someone scanned the auction list. The Great Zhou Dynasty Family Academy focuses on research, and nothing being auctioned today seemed worth researching.

“Do you know what these three hidden treasures are?” Jiang Li also found it strange. He seemed to have run into quite a few acquaintances today.

“I don’t know. I just saw a list at the entrance to the venue. I entered when I saw something I was interested in.” The Ruyi Gourd stated that it was also unaware.

Both of them were confused.

The hidden auction items were a way for the Feiyun Commerce Association to hype up the atmosphere. In fact, they had already notified potential buyers of these three items.

Clearly, Wang Bian and President Meng were here for the hidden auction items.

“It doesn’t matter, in any case, it has nothing to do with me.” Jiang Li didn’t give it much thought.

“The first auction item is a bottle of Heavy Black Water. Not only can it add a heavy force when refining a Spiritual Treasure, but it can also increase the cultivation speed of water spiritual root cultivators by 20%, of course, only below the Golden Core Stage.”

The old man on the stage had his eyes narrowed to a slit, you would think he has his eyes closed if you weren’t looking closely. He knocked the hammer, “The starting price is one hundred and eighty middle-grade Spirit Stones.”

“One hundred and eighty!” “Two hundred! ”

“Two hundred and forty!”

“I bid three hundred!”

The atmosphere in the venue was gradually heating up, stirring up everyone’s desire to buy.

“Five hundred and twelve!”

The old man’s eyes flew open. The last time the auction was held at the Dao Sect, someone had bid five hundred and twelve, and someone was doing it again.

His many years of auctioning experience told him that it was the same person this time as the last one!

“Five hundred and twelve Spirit Stones once, five hundred and twelve Spirit

Stones twice, five hundred and twelve Spirit Stones three times.”

The old man hammered down again, ‘Congratulations to this benefactor for getting the Heavy Black Water! ”

He was secretly pleased. This time he wouldn’t have to listen to people shouting one thousand and twenty-four, two thousand and forty-eight anymore.

Jiang Li was annoyed. Damn, no one raised the price this time.

He shouldn’t have shouted the power-of-two price on the first auction item, which was just worth five hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones. The price he called was just about right.

Next time, he should choose an expensive auction item. This was a lesson he must remember.

“Indeed, learning is endless. Even at the Mahayana Realm, there is still a lot to learn.” Jiang Li reflected.

The Ruyi Gourd looked at Jiang Li strangely. Could this big shot have some sort of insight during the auction?

Why didn’t it have any?
