Chapter 62: The Mysterious Shadow

When Zhou Yun heard this, he carefully considered the meaning of this sentence.

“There is a legend in the mortal world. Xunling searches for immortals and fate, akin to a dream-like person?” Zhou Yun thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn’t figure it out. After all, he couldn’t get to know someone with just a sentence.

Beside them, Su Wanyi and Qiao’er were also deep in thought. Qiao’er touched her head, unable to figure it out. She looked at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun shook his head. After all, he had only entered the cultivation world for a year. This Venerable Xunling clearly did not look like a young man. He was probably an old monster who had been famous for a long time!

“Don’t even think about it. It’s just an exaggeration. It’s also a publicity stunt.” Su Lingyun couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Zhou Yun and the others thinking hard.

“After all, as the largest auction house within the five sects, the spirit treasure rare goods sales office definitely has its own advantages. This place was one of them. The legendary Venerable Xunling, who can find a place with spiritual energy in this world that is lacking in spiritual energy, is also one.” Su Lingyun explained.

“But I think it’s just marketing. Actually, that Venerable Xunling is said to be a mysterious person wearing a face-concealing spiritual artifact. He often loiters around the Treasure Pavilion and is bored to death.” As Su Lingyun spoke, she waved her hand, and the spiritual boat that had been flying for a long time steadily stopped in the Treasure Pavilion.

“Keep!” Su Lingyun kept the spiritual boat. Only then did Zhou Yun realize that they had arrived at the Treasure Pavilion!

On the Treasure Pavilion, the huge buildings extended into the distance. There was a sea of people on the pavilion, even more than the number of people Zhou Yun had seen in Fenghua City!

And what shocked Zhou Yun the most was that everyone here was a cultivator!

At a glance, the lowest was a foundation establishment cultivator!

A few Qi cultivators were also slowly walking forward with a group of people in front and behind them. One look and you could tell that they were disciples of large aristocratic families!

“The Treasure Pavilion is divided into three areas: the treasure-hunting area, the foundation building area, and the auction area!” Su Lingyun took a few maps from a servant.

“It’s the three places above.” Su Lingyun pointed at a few buildings of different colors. As she spoke, she suddenly lowered her voice, “But I heard that in the core area, there is an area specially opened for golden core grand cultivators.

“If I wasn’t stuck in the golden core stage, I would be able to show you guys if this place is a legend.”

Zhou Yun looked at the buildings on the map. He realized that the further east he went, the more magnificent the buildings became. He could even see a tall tower! There was a pearl on top of the tower, which shone on the entire Treasure Pavilion, making it as bright as day even in the dark!

Zhou Yun looked at the building and tapped on it with his hand. He then looked at the foundation establishment area and the treasure-hunting area that he was curious about.

“You guys can walk around upstairs for a while. I’ll use this time to help you buy tickets to the next auction.” Su Lingyun waved her hand and was about to turn around and leave.

“Senior Sister Su.” Zhou Yun called out to Su Lingyun.

That was because he realized that after they had arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, the surrounding gazes seemed to fall on them from time to time!

No, to be more precise, Zhou Yun realized that all of them were looking at Qiao’er and Su Wanyi!

Even Su Lingyun was being spied on by many cultivators!

Zhou Yun held Qiao’er’s hand. Qiao’er’s face turned red. She did not expect Zhou Yun to suddenly hold her hand!

Qiao’er’s body went soft, and she leaned toward Zhou Yun.

“Tsk.” Zhou Yun furrowed his brows. He had held Qiao’er’s hand to prevent any accidents from happening, but now he realized that there were even more people staring at them!

“Be calm. Don’t attack, if you attack you will be beheaded! Even if the five great sects were to come, it wouldn’t be of much use.” Su Lingyun didn’t even look back as she waved her hand and walked away.

Zhou Yun was taken aback. What did that mean? He looked around and found that the cultivators who were peeking in the dark had all turned their heads away. Few of them wanted to look at each other.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, there are some notes on the map. There seems to be a golden core cultivator guarding every pavilion.” Su Wanyi pointed at the map and then at a pavilion not far from them.

Zhou Yun could clearly feel his heart throb from the top of the pavilion. He had the same feeling when he faced the elders of the Spirit Valley!

“Thirteen? No, it’s twenty-three!” After Zhou Yun counted the number on the map, he found that this Treasure Pavilion, which was mainly used for trading, actually had twenty-three golden core grand cultivators guarding it!

“Sister just said that we should take a look around the Treasure Pavilion while she’s away. Maybe we can find our own opportunities.” Su Wanyi closed the map and said.

“Brother Zhou Yun! Let’s go to the treasure-hunting area! I believe that Brother Zhou Yun is the luckiest! You’ll definitely find the best opportunity!” Qiao’er’s eyes lit up when she heard the word “treasure-hunting area.” She wrapped her arms around Zhou Yun and said.

Zhou Yun realized that with Qiao’er’s swaying, not only could he not stand it, but he could also feel the fierceness in the eyes of the people around him!

That line of sight seemed to be able to penetrate him!

Zhou Yun sighed. Qiao’er was indeed the Spirit Valley’s signature disciple, not to mention that Senior Sister Su Wanyi was around.

The pressure he felt in the Treasure Pavilion, where even the weakest cultivator was at the foundation establishment stage, was even more terrifying than in the Spirit Valley!

“Come, let’s go to the treasure-hunting area.” Zhou Yun had refined quite a few elixirs in Spirit Valley, so he thought that if he really came across something good, he could exchange it with the other party and auction the rest at the Treasure Pavilion.

Zhou Yun believed that even without considering the value of the medicinal ingredients, just the degree of perfection of a perfect-tier pill would cause many alchemists to risk their lives to buy it for research!

Although Zhou Yun didn’t expect to compete with Su Lingyun in terms of wealth, he didn’t want to rely on others for everything.

Just as Zhou Yun led his group to the treasure-hunting area, another group of people came from the opposite side.

Each of them wore a veil on their face. This veil seemed to be able to block others’ vision and divine sense, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.

Each of them was wearing a thick black robe that covered their body. Ordinary people couldn’t even tell each other’s gender by their bodies!

“Akin to a dream-like person?” Zhou Yun was stunned for a moment. Wasn’t this Venerable Xunling that Su Lingyun had just mentioned?

However, why were there so many of them? Could it be that the Treasure Pavilion was wholesale?

Just as Zhou Yun said that, the group of black-robed men who had been walking straight suddenly stopped.

One of the black-robed men raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yun.

“A perfect foundation establishment. He’s only in the early-stage foundation establishment, but he’s already mastered the great stage of sword intent and the great stage of sword control technique.” The black-robed man waved his hand and one of the black men took out a form and handed it to him. On the form was Zhou Yun’s information!

“Interesting. I didn’t expect the Spirit Valley to have such a heaven’s favorite. It seems that the situation is unpredictable.” The black-robed man mumbled and continued walking.

He brushed past Zhou Yun.
