Chapter 145 The Third Sister is on the line again
After that, they didn't encounter any other problems on the journey. After leaving the Black Plains, the convoy drove along the mountain road for nearly two hours before finally seeing a huge city made up of black boulders in the distance. Its vague outline was looming. At the four gates of the city, they could vaguely see densely packed black dots, like ants, gathering and pouring into the huge dark mouth of the city.

"Haha, gentlemen, this is Black Seal City. Due to the auction in the next two days, many nearby forces and strong people will rush here. After all, every year's auction will have heavy and rare items. It is said that the top item in last year's auction was a low-level earth-level fighting skill. At that time, various forces almost fought in the auction hall for that thing. In the end, if it weren't for the strong backstage of the organizer, I'm afraid it would have become a farce."

Standing on the carriage, Doma looked at the city in the distance and said with a smile to the two figures, one black and one white, standing beside him.

"Earth-level fighting skills"

Hearing this level, Xiao Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth under his black robe. The Black Horn Region was indeed worthy of being the place where rare treasures were circulated and sold. This level of fighting skills was basically impossible to see in the Jia Ma Empire.

Xiao Yuan on the side was unmoved. After all, he still remembered most of the things in this auction.

For example, the Three Thousand Thunders, although it is a good body movement fighting skill, Xiao Yuan doesn't care much about it. With the Wind Catkins Afterimage, he has an extremely fast speed when combined with flying fighting skills, so he is not that dependent on the Three Thousand Thunders.

However, he remembered that there seemed to be a flying fighting skill at this auction, which he could buy for Xiao Yan.

Otherwise, it would be very tiring to fly with Xiao Yan every time.

In addition, he had to practice as quickly as possible, find a way to break through the Dou Ling level, and start learning alchemy.

Otherwise, these more than two million gold coins would not be enough to spend.

In addition, there are several unused fighting skills in the ring that can be exchanged for some resources.

After arriving at Black Seal City, Doma gave Xiao Yuan a detailed map of the Black Horn Region and gave each of them 5,000 gold coins as a reward.

However, this amount of money is better than nothing for Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan.

After taking this little money and renting two adjacent rooms, the two of them started to get busy with their own things.

Next, Xiao Yan’s destination was Qianyaofang in Heishin City. He needed to buy some medicinal materials for refining pills and raising funds.

As for Xiao Yuan, he went directly to the Black Seal Auction House.

Standing at the end of the crowded street, Xiao Yuan, dressed in a white dress, looked up at the giant auction house in front of her, with surprise in her eyes. When she saw the Mitel family's auction house in the capital of the Gama Empire, she was surprised by its scale. Now that she has arrived in the Black Seal City, she realized that the Mitel auction house is undoubtedly dwarfed by the Black Seal auction house.

However, in the future, the Miter Auction House will definitely be the largest auction house in the continent!

At the gate of the Black Seal Auction House, dozens of indifferent-looking men in black clothes and tight-fitting clothes wore sharp weapons on their waists. Their sharp eyes like hawks kept scanning the people coming and going. Judging from the aura faintly permeating from these men's bodies, five of them were at the level of fighters, and the others were also at the peak level of fighters.

Anyone who is randomly selected to guard the gate is at the level of a fighting master. It seems that the strength of the "Eight Gates" is really extremely powerful. At least, the Mittel family is reluctant to use a fighting master as a doorman.

After pressing down the white veil on his head, Xiao Yuan lowered his head slightly. The white gauze hanging around the veil completely covered his face. In a chaotic place like Black Horn Region, one must have at least one or more vests to ensure his safety.

Afterwards, Xiao Yuan walked slowly into the auction hall. There were huge screens hanging around the auction hall, on which countless items for auction were scrolling. Xiao Yuan took a quick look, but did not find anything too rare. He thought that those rare items should have been kept as the bottom of the box and not released in order to maintain the mystery. Of course, some powerful forces would naturally be able to find out about those treasures through other channels.

His eyes swept around and finally stopped on a door frame with a sign that said "Treasure Appraisal Room". Without any hesitation, Xiao Yuan walked straight in.

As soon as he entered the treasure appraisal room, a maid dressed in hot clothes came forward, twisting her waist and speaking in a charming voice, "Madam, are you here to appraise treasures? Or are you here to do a price assessment for the auction?"

"The latter." Xiao Yuan's voice became more royal than in a long time, but her flat chest made it easy for people to look down on her.

"Please follow me." The maid smiled charmingly, then turned around, her snake-like waist swaying in an extremely seductive arc. Unfortunately, this posture could not seduce Xiao Yuan, who had fought with Ya Fei many times.

After walking for several dozen meters behind the maid, the former stopped in front of a small secret room, bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan, and said with a smile: "Madam, as long as you hand over the items you want to auction to the masters inside for evaluation and review, you will be able to obtain auction seats of different levels according to the preciousness of your items."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yuan gently pushed open the black wooden door, walked in, and closed the door.

The light in the small secret room was bright. An old man with slightly gray hair was looking at Xiao Yuan with sharp eyes, but Xiao Yuan's aura was restrained at the moment, so the old man could not see anything.

"Please take a seat." Pointing casually at the chair in front of the table, the old man sorted out some instruments for inspecting the auction items, lowered his head and said indifferently: "Take out the items you need to auction."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuan maintained a cool attitude and waved his sleeves lightly, and some fighting skills appeared on the table.

"Fighting skills and techniques?"

Looking at the scrolls, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face.

So many fighting skills are for sale. It seems like they are trying to sell off the stolen goods?
Then, he put on gloves on both hands and checked them one by one. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "There are as many as five Xuan-level fighting skills and three Xuan-level exercises. Although the remaining yellow-level fighting skills and exercises are ordinary, I believe some small forces will be happy to auction them off to increase their reserves."

"Yeah." Xiao Yuan nodded slightly, her voice still as royal as before: "In that case, let's estimate a price."

"According to the Black Horn Domain's estimation method, the starting price of a complete set of Xuan-level skills and fighting techniques usually ranges from 250,000 to 400,000, while a single Xuan-level fighting technique ranges from 100,000 to 200,000. As for these Huang-level fighting techniques and skills, a complete set also ranges from 50,000 to 100,000, while an incomplete set ranges from 20,000 to 70,000.

The starting price of your fighting skills is about 1.8 million."

Hearing this, the old man smiled and spoke slowly.

"Well, take a look at these again."

Xiao Yuan nodded slightly and spoke slowly.

Xiao Yuan said this and took out another batch of pills.

These were basically pills that were looted from the gray-robed man from the Izumo Empire at the Alchemist Conference. Although the grades of these pills ranged from second to fourth grade, and even one of them was fifth grade, it was estimated that the guy was lucky enough to make them, and the quality was not high. Xiao Yuan didn't even look at them. Now he only ate pills made by Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, and the quality was guaranteed.

"Restoring Qi Pill, Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pill"

After a detailed appraisal, the old man gave a starting price of nearly two million.

"My dear guest, the value of the item you are auctioning has reached the first-level VIP level of our Black Seal Auction House. This is your seat number. The auction will officially begin tomorrow afternoon. Please take your seat according to your number."

The old man then put away the pills and fighting skills properly, took out a black card made of black jade from the counter and handed it to Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan nodded, took the black card, nodded lightly, then stood up gracefully, and left slowly with "lotus steps".

Looking at the slowly closing door and listening to the gradually fading footsteps, the old man tapped the table lightly with his fingers. After a while, he lowered his head to look at the storage ring that properly stored many of the auction items. A strange look flashed across his turbid old eyes.

"I've never seen this person before, but he took out so many fighting skills and elixirs at once. Could it be that he robbed some force? The woman in white? I haven't heard of such a person causing trouble in the Black Horn Region recently."

The palm of the hand slapped somewhere on the table, and the wall of the secret room suddenly slowly opened up to reveal a dark hole. The old man picked up the ring on the table, turned around and walked into the hole, muttering softly, and wandered quietly in the secret room.

"Since even a Douling like me cannot tell his true strength, this person must be a Douwang strongman. He also sounds very young. This news must be reported to the Sect Master as soon as possible."

After leaving the Black Seal Auction House, Xiao Yuan went straight back to the room he had prepared, took a short rest in the small room, and then began to practice. During this time, Xiao Yan also came back, but seeing that Xiao Yuan was practicing, he did not disturb him and went straight back to his room to start refining pills.

The next afternoon, when Xiao Yan knocked on Xiao Yuan's door, Xiao Yuan slowly came out of his cultivation state.

"Brother, you are dressed like this, I'm afraid even if Sister Xiao Yu stood in front of you, she wouldn't be able to recognize you."

The two walked one in front and one behind, at a certain distance from each other, and communicated through soul perception.

“Haha, only those who don’t exist are the safest in this Black Horn Region.”

Xiao Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Remember to cooperate with me later. If you encounter someone you really can't afford, just defraud him and kill him for the goods afterwards. Since you are in the Black Horn Region, you should follow the Black Horn Region's style of doing things."

Xiao Yuan said without any psychological burden.

"Well, don't worry."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately agreed.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the auction house, the huge crowds of people, the noise and the scolding were really eye-opening for them. However, as VIPs, they naturally would not squeeze with those people. They immediately walked one after another towards another passage, the VIP passage.

The spacious floor of the VIP passage was covered with red carpet. Dozens of men in black stood there with indifferent expressions. The cruel and sinister aura emanating from them made people shudder.

When Xiao Yuan and the other person were walking by, they bumped into a group of people in red. In the middle was a handsome young man with an overly pale face. From the looks of it, he seemed to be only around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. However, judging from the energy that occasionally seeped out of his body and caused slight fluctuations in the air, his strength was probably at least at the Dou Ling level!
"Hey, look over there, it looks like someone from the Blood Sect?"

"As expected, they are those perverted guys. The person in the middle should be Fan Ling, the young master of the Blood Sect, right? Hehe, it is said that the disappearance of an elder from the Eight Gates not long ago has something to do with him."

"The blood all over the body is dry, and it looks like it was taken away by force. Only people from the Blood Sect would be interested in this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that he would dare to come to the eight gates of his home."

"What is he afraid of? His father is the fifth strongest man on the black list. Yuan Yi is still far behind him. Besides, the Blood Sect is stronger than the Eight Gates. They dare to move here. Fan Ling? Aren't you afraid that his father will lead people to cleanse Black Seal City in anger? "

"Tsk, that black-robed man and the white-dressed woman are probably in trouble now!"

Hearing the whispers coming from the crowd, Xiao Yuan was a little speechless, but he did not give way. Instead, he flashed and walked ahead into the passage.

Xiao Yan on the side also reacted quickly. He immediately slipped into the passage, and then like Xiao Yuan, he walked in front slowly.

As for Fan Ling and the others who were staring at their backs like vampire bats with a bloodthirsty look, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yan simply ignored them.

Seeing the two's almost provocative behavior, Fan Ling's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Then, he released his perception, wanting to detect the strength of the two.

Then the gloom on his face actually dissipated a little. He narrowed his eyes with a little fear and watched the two of them walk into the auction hall.

"Young Sect Master, what's wrong?"

As the pale handsome young man slowly withdrew his gaze, an old man next to him with an equally pale face asked in a low voice.

"I couldn't even detect the strength of the woman in the white dress, and the man in the black robe was also quite strange. My perception was directly repelled after I got close to him!"

Hearing this, Fan Ling said with a look of fear on his face.

“The one who can make the young master feel this way must be either a Dou Wang strongman or a fifth-grade alchemist, but these two don’t look like strong men from the Black Horn Region. It seems they are from outside!” Hearing this, the old man’s expression became more serious. He analyzed the situation slowly and then said, “In my opinion, we should not make any more trouble for the time being. After things are settled, we will report this matter to the master!”

"Ok, I know."

Hearing this, Fan Ling nodded and walked into the auction hall with a sullen face.
