Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 244

Not long after returning to the inn, Zhu Yun precisely delivered a few thick books. These books are nothing else. The notes in it are about the people who will be participating in the recent Events.

Clearly, they stood out in the exam and performed amazingly. This made Zhu Yun pay attention to the three of them. He had sorted out the corresponding information so quickly.

However, Yan Chutian had only skimmed through these records because he knew that the recorded information must have been outdated.

Moreover, who would reveal their true trump cards? These records can at most only be used as a reference.

In the next few days, Yan Chutian was still coming out every day. He did not seclude himself in the inn. Instead, he continued to search for the three lost heavenly treasures and the Lotus Dao.

However, it was as if it had exhausted all of its luck in the first day. Not to mention Lotus, they could not even find a single spiritual herb.

However, Yan Chutian was not completely empty-handed. During the search, Yan Chutian obtained more information.

The Central Plains City not only had a cultivator's trading place, but also an auction house and an underground black market. There might be more treasure there.

However, compared to auction houses, the black market was not easy to enter. After all, to be called a black market, not just anyone can enter. This is a market that cannot see the light. If no one led the way, how could anyone find him?

Hence, Yan Chutian immediately let go of the idea of entering the black market. Instead, he planned to enter the auction house to try his luck.

Before entering the auction house, Yan Chutian did not hesitate to borrow a large amount of spirit crystals from Zhu Yun. Together with what he originally had, it reached a total of 1.2 million spirit crystals.

If not for Yan Chutian's performance in the Star Valley examination, Zhu Yun would have never lent so many spirit crystals to him. Moreover, when he lent the spirit crystal, Zhu Yun felt like he was throwing meat bun at a dog, and there was no turning back.

However, even if he had over a million spirit crystals, Yan Chutian did not have many happy expressions. Because the price of the spiritual herbs he needed was very high in an ordinary stall. How many more in the auction house?

However, Yan Chutian did not know where else to find the Spirit Crystal. Hence, he could only take this many Spirit Crystals and set off.

There were quite a number of auction houses in Zhongyuan City. Yan Chutian did not blindly chase the size of the auction house. Instead, he chose an auction house that specialized in auctioning off natural wealth.

The name of the auction house was Zhou.

Although the Zhou Auction House was not ranked in the top three in the City auction house, it was still above average. Moreover, since it mainly auctioned heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it would have a stable source of customers that was different from ordinary auction houses.

On this day, the Zhou Auction House opened as usual. Among the crowd, an inconspicuous customer was greeted.

…

Looking at the auction hall in front of him, Yan Chutian slowly walked in. As soon as he entered, he could see there were many guards guarding the entrance of the auction house. Every guard had an incredible aura.

Moreover, he could sense that there were some powerful gazes in the darkness, locking the sole exit of the entire auction house.

If anyone who entered wanted to cause trouble in the auction house, they would have to consider whether they had the strength to do so.

After entering the auction house, there was a graceful and refined female cultivator handing out a number plate, which indicated where the person would sit after entering.

However, although it seemed to be distributed randomly, Yan Chutian could clearly see that the female cultivator distributed the number plate according to one's identity or cultivation. Therefore, with Yan Chutian's cultivation, he was given the number nine hundred and ninety.

This number is very close to the back, near the end.

However, Yan Chutian did not care about this. He had not come to this auction house for fun, but to search for spiritual herbs. If he could find them, then what if he was sitting at the end of the line?

After a while, Yan Chutian, holding the number plate, sat in the corner of the enormous auction house. The auction house was in a circle shape. In the center, there was a round platform that was about ten feet wide, which was an auction stage. All seats are built according to the auction stage.

In addition, there are offer cards on the sides of each seat. As long as the cultivator injected spiritual power, the corresponding amount would be displayed on the bidding card.

After sitting on the chair for about a quarter of an hour, the auction immediately began.

A female cultivator with the same graceful figure and seductive face appeared on the auction stage. Most of the cultivators were men, and the figure and appearance of these female cultivators were good, so she attracted a lot of attention at once.

It must be said that a large auction house really has its own way.

The female cultivator on the auction stage caressed her hair flirtatiously for a moment, then she got straight to the point. The middle of the auction stage opened, and then a lifting stone platform slowly rose. On the stone platform, there was a sealed spiritual herb.

"This is a thousand-year-old spiritual vine. Although the spiritual vine was not a precious Treasure of Heaven and Earth, a thousand-year-old spiritual vine was extremely rare. At the same time, this thousand year old vine spiritual vine had suddenly reached the level of six spiritual grapes. "

"Therefore, the starting price of this thousand-year-old spiritual vine was 300,000 spirit crystals. Which miracle or senior wants to bid?"

As soon as the female cultivator's voice came down, the bidding cards were raised continuously. In just a short moment, the price of this thousand-year-old spiritual vine was pushed to 500,000 spirit crystals.

This made Yan Chutian have to sigh about the usefulness of the auction house. In fact, the base price of the spiritual vine was set at 300,000 spirit crystals, which was enough, but after the auction house, the price nearly doubled.

However, that thousand-year-old spiritual vine was indeed rare, so Yan Chutian was quietly looking forward to it. Perhaps one of the three Treasures of Heaven and Earth would appear here.

In the end, the thousand-year-old spiritual vine sold for 700,000 spirit crystals. The crowd is not stupid. If not for the fact that it was a thousand year old spiritual vine, they would not have bid like this.

As soon as the spiritual vine was a thousand years old, the next item to be auctioned was the Dawn Spiritual Root. This kind of spiritual herb was like an ordinary weed and was extremely hard to find. It would only emit a spiritual aura at dawn. If removed, it turns out that the roots actually emit a dim light.

The Spiritual Root of Dawn was even rarer than a thousand year old spiritual vine because it was hard to find. In addition, its function is much more important than wine. It could effectively calm the mind of a cultivator.

Hence, the price was set at 500,000 Spirit Crystals right from the start. Even so, the atmosphere of the bidding was much more intense than before.

However, Yan Chutian remained motionless. Although the root was good, it was not what Yan Chutian was looking for. Moreover, the price of the Dawn Spiritual Root had reached 1,000,000 spirit crystals in a short period of time, and did not stop.

Furthermore, several Treasures of Heaven and Earth were auctioned off. Although it was worthless, everything was extremely rare.

However, Yan Chutian still had not seen a single one of the three Heaven and Earth Treasures he was looking for.

Unknowingly, the auction will be over soon.

However, the last item was still not what Yan Chutian was looking for. This left him secretly disappointed. After the last item was sold, he got up and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, the female cultivator on the stage did not seem to intend to bow. Instead, he opened his mouth again and said in a sweet voice, "Next is the daily display of items not auctioned. The price is set, and you can freely bid."

Hearing that it was a daily item that was not auctioned off, many people lost interest and even started to leave. Seeing this, the female cultivator on the stage was not surprised. After all, this was just his daily routine.

It was normal that these items could not be sold. It would be lucky if they could be sold.

After hearing that it was a Heaven and Earth Treasure that was not auctioned, Yan Chutian was not interested. He just glanced at them symbolically.

However, some symbolic gazes made his eyes suddenly freeze. He stared at one of Heaven and Earth's Treasures.

He was sure that he did not see wrong. It was the Golden Lotus of Heavenly Mother.

Although the Golden Lotus of Heavenly Mother was not one of the three Heavenly and Earth Treasures she had sought for Qiu Yu, it was an extremely precious spiritual medicine. Especially for the current Yan Chutian, he might be able to cultivate the Third Star Sign with the help of the Heavenly Mother's Golden Lotus.

If he could master the third star sign and use it with his current cultivation level, he might even be able to injure the sixth level Elixir Realm.

Although spirit runes were known to be the strongest means of an Elixir Realm cultivator, it was not as fast and stealthy as spiritual techniques.
