Soul Emperor Martial God

On the bustling street.

Xiao Yi and Lih Fengxing walked side by side.

"This Star Swapping City is quite ancient, isn't it?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Lih Fengxing replied with interest, "Deacon Xiao Yi, did you research information on Star Swapping City?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "Just a gut feeling."

Xiao Yi didn't have the time to learn about Star Swapping City.

But while walking on this street, he could clearly feel the weight and ancient aura belonging to this city.

Star Swapping City is a bustling commercial metropolis.

But the entire metropolis gives people the feeling of deep heritage, filled with ancient and powerful vibes.

"A gut feeling?" Lih Fengxing chuckled lightly, "I don't have the same feeling, but I have looked into the historical records of Star Swapping City, and it is indeed so."

"Logically, Star Swapping City is on the edge of the border area."

"Which means, it's just the beginning of truly entering the Central Region."

"A metropolis like this shouldn't become a commercial metropolis."

"But for some unknown reason, from many years ago, Star Swapping City suddenly became a renowned commercial metropolis in the Central Region."

"For countless years, the name of Star Swapping City has been well-known across the vast Central Region."

Xiao Yi nodded with a faint smile.

Lih Fengxing continued, "Perhaps it's because of the Star Swapping Day."

"Star Swapping Day, for martial artists, is indeed a great opportunity."

"It might be for this reason that countless powerful figures and countless Heavenly Talents have been drawn here since ancient times, thus making it today's commercial metropolis."

"Perhaps." Xiao Yi nodded.

The two did not dwell on the matter and continued to chat as they walked.

Soon, they stopped before a magnificent golden building.

The building was entirely golden, extremely dazzling.

Above the building, a luxurious plaque was engraved with the three characters 'Ten Thousand Gold Mansion'.

"Ten Thousand Gold Mansion," Xiao Yi muttered, sensing it a little.

"Tsk, tsk." After retracting his senses, Xiao Yi praised, "It truly lives up to its name; the entire building is made of gold."

In Xiao Yi's perception, the size of this building was no less than a branch hall of the Wind Shattering Hall.

No matter whether it was the walls, the plaque, or the grand entrance, they were all made of gold.

Just how extravagant is this Ten Thousand Gold Mansion?

Seeing this, Lih Fengxing laughed, "Deacon Xiao Yi, you don't know this Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, do you?"

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"No wonder." Lih Fengxing laughed, "I'll tell you just one sentence, and you'll understand."

"Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, the number one commercial power of the Central Region."

Xiao Yi nodded, an expression of realization on his face.

The term number one commercial power represents many things.

Lih Fengxing continued, "The business of Ten Thousand Gold Mansion almost spans the entire Central Region."

"In a commercial metropolis like Star Swapping City, naturally, they have their trading company."

"This auction is hosted by them; I heard that for this auction, Ten Thousand Gold Mansion has made significant investments."

"If Deacon Xiao Yi has brought enough Silver Tael, this auction should indeed be rewarding."

"I hope so." Xiao Yi smiled.

The two entered Ten Thousand Gold Mansion.

Immediately, a maid approached to greet them.

The maid was not exceedingly beautiful, but she was very nice-looking, making people feel comfortable.

Her every smile and frown were very natural.

Her gestures were gentle and pleasant, making people feel naturally at ease.

"Young masters," the maid said politely.

Xiao Yi nodded silently, judging from this hostess alone, it was evident that Ten Thousand Gold Mansion was extraordinary.

Lih Fengxing boldly said, "No need for chatter, take us to the VIP room; we're here for the auction."

Lih Fengxing was rather blunt.

The maid maintained her polite smile and said, "Do the two young masters have invitations?"

This auction was exceptionally grand.

In Star Swapping City, only a few significant powers received invitations and were eligible to enter the VIP rooms.

Ordinary guests could only enter the standard auction room if they wished to attend.

Lih Fengxing directly took out the Token of the Wind Shattering Hall.

"Oh, you're from the Wind Shattering Hall, please follow me," the maid nodded, slowly turned around, and led the way for the two.

Very soon, the two arrived at the auction hall.

There wasn't much difference from a typical trading company; the VIP rooms were on the second floor of the auction hall.

There were private rooms on the second floor.

While on the first floor, there were densely arranged seats belonging to ordinary guests.

On the second floor, there were only ten separate rooms.

Xiao Yi and Lih Fengxing entered one room.

Soon, fine wines and exquisite dishes were continuously served, placed on the luxurious table in the room.

The maid stood by, ready at any moment for instructions.

Lih Fengxing smiled and said, "Deacon Xiao Yi, there's still about an hour before the auction starts."

"We might as well enjoy some fine wine and exquisite dishes first."

Xiao Yi nodded, casually took a sip of fine wine, and then glanced at the maid beside him.

The maid understood and walked politely to Xiao Yi's side, bent forward, and said respectfully, "I wonder what instructions the young master has."

"Um." Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

In Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, though these hostesses were all gentle and polite, their clothing was very thin.

When the maid bent over, from Xiao Yi's angle, he could easily see a large expanse of spring under those thin clothes.

Xiao Yi turned his gaze slightly, said in a low voice, "I wonder if your Ten Thousand Gold Mansion accepts items for sale besides selling them?"

The maid nodded politely and said, "The young master jests, our Ten Thousand Gold Mansion is a trading company; naturally, we accept items for sale."

"That's good." Xiao Yi nodded, a flash of light in his hand; a Universe Ring appeared in his hand.

"Help me with an appraisal."

"Yes." The maid gently took the Universe Ring and then released her senses.

The maid was also a martial artist; though her cultivation wasn't very strong, she could still release her senses.

However, in the next second, the maid was shocked, "This…this…young master…"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yi frowned slightly.

The maid looked surprised and said, "Does the young master want to sell everything inside this Universe Ring?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"No… no." The maid put down the Universe Ring quickly and said, "Please wait, young master, I will go invite the Manager immediately."

With that, the maid saluted and hurried away.

Beside him, Lih Fengxing rubbed his chin, puzzled, "Deacon Xiao Yi, what are you selling?"

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Some ordinary items, but the quantity is a bit large."

"Oh?" Lih Fengxing was full of doubts.

Not long later, a middle-aged man, led by the maid, came rushing into the room.

"Manager, it's this young master," the maid said respectfully to the middle-aged man, glancing at Xiao Yi.

The middle-aged man nodded and came to Xiao Yi's side, slightly bowing, "Greetings to the two young masters."

Xiao Yi nodded and directed his gaze to the Universe Ring on the table.

The middle-aged man understood, picked up the Universe Ring, sensed it briefly, and his expression immediately changed.

"Young master, are you sure you want to sell everything inside this Universe Ring?" the middle-aged man asked seriously.

Xiao Yi frowned, "Do I have to say it several times?"

"Please calm down, young master," the middle-aged man quickly said, "Fifteen Sub-Saint Artifacts, twenty-five flying Sub-Saint Artifacts, one hundred and ten top-grade Primordial Artifacts."

"Ninth Grade Elixirs, two hundred; Eighth Grade Elixirs, three thousand…"

"And many Treasures with different uses."

"Young master." The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi, using extremely polite language.

"The quantity of these items is too large, and due to their varying effects and grades, we must appraise them before we can offer a valuation."

"Will it take long?" Xiao Yi asked with a frown.

"Don't worry, young master," the middle-aged man quickly said, "We will immediately mobilize appraisers from the trading company to appraise them for you, and we can provide an estimate within at most an hour."

"Good." Xiao Yi nodded.

Beside him, Lih Fengxing looked at Xiao Yi and listened to the middle-aged man enumerate the items, his eyes wide open, swallowing his saliva.

The second update.
