Chapter 543 Disguise
“Your Shadow Concealment is not bad. Ordinary monarchs can’t detect it for sure.” In the Land of Beyond Heaven, Hongyue looked at a middle-aged man before her expressionlessly.
This middle-aged man was Yun Lintian after using Shadow Concealment to change his appearance. He was planning to participate in the upcoming auction with his disguised identity.
The Shadow Concealment not only changed his appearance and aura but also changed his voice. This was the perfect art for the Cloud Shadow team. The only downside of this profound art was the profound energy consumption. The user had to spend more of their energy to prolong this state.
However, as someone who had Profound Vein more than ten times larger than any practitioner, Yun Lintian simply had no issue with this. He could even maintain this state for a whole week without recovering his profound energy.
“Somehow, I’m not confident in this.” Yun Lintian said while checking on himself.
“You? No confidence? How rare.” Hongyue sneered. “Back then, the Shadow God was the trickiest person the universe had ever seen. Countless gods hunted him down, but none of them could capture him. Do you think a mere mortal can do it?”
“You know the Shadow God? Is he still alive?” Yun Lintian asked in surprise. He thought that the Shadow God was already dead a long ago. Otherwise, how could his Shadow God Scripture appear here?
Hongyue curled her lips and said. “That’s a secret.”
Yun Lintian clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and turned to Linlin. “Linlin, big brother will leave you here for the time being. Are you okay with it?”
Although Linlin wanted to go with him, she still complied with his wish in the end. “Mhm. Be careful out there, Big Brother Yun.”
Yun Lintian patted her head gently and reverted to his original appearance before leaving the Land of Beyond Heaven.
He then secretly left the Jade Pavilion and found a remote place to change his appearance to the middle-aged man before heading to the Mystic Pavilion building.
The Mystic Pavilion building was located at the prime location of the island. It was built with a unique blue marble, emitting a majestic aura. There were only a few receptionists at the entrance without any guard nearby. However, no one dared to be presumptuous here, and they even showed their respect to the receptionists. It could be seen how prestigious Mystic Pavilion was.
The Mystic Pavilion always held a public auction no matter how precious the treasure was. Anyone could freely participate as long as they did not cause trouble for others participants.
Before coming here, Yun Lintian had checked the general information about today’s auction. There were twenty treasures, and more than half of them were either precious materials or magical plants, while the rest were artifacts and profound arts.
Yun Lintian’s goal was naturally the Floating Metal. It was said there was around a hundred kilograms worth of metal for auction today. As for other treasures, it depended on the situation.
“Hello, esteemed guest. Are you coming alone?” A young female receptionist stepped forward upon seeing Yun Lintian approaching the auction hall entrance.
“Yes.” Yun Lintian nodded calmly.
The receptionist gave a professional smile and asked. “Perhaps this is esteemed guest’s first time for participating in the auction?” Seeing Yun Lintian nod his head, she explained further. “Our auction hall has four zones for esteemed guests to choose from. The first one is the front row closer to the stage, and the second zone is a bit further back. As for the third and fourth zone, they are consist of twenty and ten private rooms respectively. Naturally, the first two zones are free for everyone. Meanwhile, if the esteemed guest prefers a private room, there’s a certain amount of the room’s fee. I wonder which one do you prefer?”
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and asked. “How much for the private room in the third zone?”
“That would be a hundred high-grade Profound Stones.” The receptionist replied.
“What about the room in the fourth zone?” Yun Lintian asked further.
The receptionist smiled apologetically as she said. “My apologies, esteemed guest. All the rooms in the fourth zone have been taken already. However, if the esteemed guest wants to take it next time, the price would be ten thousand high-grade Profound Stones.”
Yun Lintian nodded and handed a hundred high-grade Profound Stones to the receptionist. “Arrange the room for me.”
The receptionist received the Profound Stones from Yun Lintian and led him into the auction hall.
Inside the hall, there was a violet flame brass lamp every ten steps. These flames will never die, and all of these bronze lamps without exception were not low-level artifacts.
Along the way, Yun Lintian scanned the crowd briefly and found most of them were at the Ruler Profound Realm. Judging by their appearances, they seemed to be travelers more than coming from prominent forces.
Yun Lintian glanced at several rooms on the top platform and saw shadowy figures behind thick glasses. Evidently, all of them had already arrived. One of them was naturally Du Huanfeng. What about others, then?
Soon, Yun Lintian arrived in front of a small room under the receptionist’s guidance. “Here, this is esteemed guest’s room. Feel free to contact us through the transmission stone if you have anything. I wish you a happy auction.” Afterward, she turned around and walked away.
Yun Lintian looked around briefly and entered the room. This room was around fifteen square meters, enough for three or four people to settle in. There was a long comfortable sofa and a small table before it.
Yun Lintian immediately found a blue stone nearby the sofa. This must be the transmission stone the receptionist talked about.
After checking the room, he calmly sat down on the sofa and contacted Hongyue. “Can you see it?”
“Of course, I’m not blind.” Hongyue voice resounded in Yun Lintian’s mind. She was now sitting in the living room, watching the projection of the auction hall in front of her with Yun Ruanyu and others.
Yun Lintian was speechless..
