After accepting 10 Mixed Energy Pills from Ye Mo, the warrior gave Ye Mo a detailed explanation. “Brother, the Treasure Inspection Guild is the Qi Clan’s family business. Each day, we gather many cultivation resources and information to sell. Today, we have three items being auctioned. The first item is a High Grade Magic Weapon called Heaven Origin Mirror, the second item is a second order offensive seal refined by a master sealing artist at Heaven’s Wall City. It has an incredible might. As for the third item, I heard it is an important piece of document.”

“What is that Heaven Origin Mirror?” Ye Mo wondered.

“Brother Ye Mo, normally, when weapon refiners refine defensive tools, they create tools that will either protect the whole body, such as the Sky Blood Armor you gave Xiao Yue, or tools that only protect the Energy Center. After all, the most important parts of a warrior are the Energy Center and the brain. This Heaven Origin Mirror is probably a defensive tool to protect one’s Energy Center,” Ling’er explained.

“Sounds like a good treasure.” Ye Mo walked into the Treasure Inspection Guild. On the first floor, cultivation resources of normal rarity were sold. Pills, Low Grade Magic Weapons, seals, heart-stones, everything one wanted could be found here. Many warriors were strolling around. When they saw something they wanted, they would take out Stabilizing Pills or items of equal value to trade for it.

Apart from the official stores of the Qi Clan, stalls of other unaffiliated warriors could be found on the first floor as well. Of course, they would have to pay a certain amount of fees to set up a stall here.

Ye Mo squeezed himself into the crowd and started searching for dark attribute heart-stones. He did not find any dark attribute heart-stones among any of the Qi Clan’s official stores, but he did find two second rank dark attribute heart-stones from the stalls.

He immediately bought them using Mixed Energy Pills. Then, he shifted his attention to the VIP hall on the second floor. According the the warrior earlier, that was where the auction was going to be held. To enter the auction hall, one had to first pay 1,000 Stabilizing Pills.

Because of the steep price, those capable of entering were those with considerable status within Tianwu Kingdom. After purchasing two dark attribute heart-stones, Ye Mo focused on the auction. Normally, rare items would appear at such auctions.

For example, Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear was obtained from the auction at Limestone City. If even a place like Limestone City had a heaven-defying weapon like the Sky Blood Spear appearing, what about the auction of Ancient Martial City’s Treasure Inspection Guild?

The Heaven Origin Mirror and the seals being sold here did not catch Ye Mo’s interest. Rather, the information being auctioned attracted him. A piece of information qualified to be auctioned as one of the main items would definitely not be something ordinary.

“Ye Mo, why are you here?” Ye Mo was about to enter the auction hall when a rough voice sounded behind him. He turned to see Hu Batian and Hu Bahu slowly walking towards him.

They were initially filled with contempt towards Ye Mo. However, after Ye Mo demonstrated his strength many times at Qingyun League, these two geniuses of Hu Clan had no choice but to acknowledge him. Their contempt had thus transformed into respect.

“I accepted a mission from the Inner League that requires me to pass by this city. When I saw this Treasure Inspection Guild, my interest was piqued so here I am, taking a look to see if there’s anything special to be found here,” Ye Mo answered.

“Haha, nothing good can be found here on the first floor. The auction hall on the second floor is where all the action is happening. All three items they are auctioning today are capable of breaking their past records of highest auction bid.” Since Hu Batian was a local, he was naturally very familiar with the Treasure Inspection Guild.

“Looks like the auction today will be interesting.” Hu Batian and Ye Mo had became friends after their initial animosity. After some idle talk, Hu Batian directly grabbed Ye Mo’s arm and said, “Let’s go. Let your brother bring you to the auction hall.”

When the people around them saw this, they were alarmed and started wondering about Ye Mo’s identity. Hu Batian dragged Ye Mo along and took out a golden card from his Dimensional Bracelet. The guard immediately let them in.

“Why did the two of you return here?” Ye Mo asked.

“We were missing home so we applied to leave from the league. Turns out we are just in time to attend this auction. Hehe,” while speaking, Hu Batian brought Ye Mo into the auction hall. Looking at the never-ending stream of people coming and going, Ye Mo was rendered speechless. An auction of this size was definitely not something the auction at Limestone City could compare to.

Limestone City was a tiny unknown city that did not even have a True Energy Realm residing within. Ye Mo could feel that in this auction hall, there were several dozen hidden presences that were extremely powerful.

With Hu Batian leading Ye Mo and Hu Bahu following behind, numerous gazes landed on Ye Mo when they entered. Not many people received such polite treatment from the Hu Clan’s young masters.

“Who is that young man in black? Why have I never seen him in Ancient Martial City before?”

“The young masters of the Hu Clan are being very polite towards him. Perhaps he has a unique backstory.”

“Judging from his presence, he is around Energy Shaping Fourth Realm. His talent is already comparable to Hu Bahu.”

Ye Mo was an unfamiliar face to the many young geniuses of this city. Therefore, they started talking about him. After going through a tunnel, the space before them became wide and open. A huge auction hall appeared before the three of them.

Looking at the numerous seats in the hall, Ye Mo gasped in admiration. There were already a lot of people in the hall, filling the room with clamor. After the three entered, a decent-looking maid in a revealing outfit came to them and deferentially spoke, “Three lords, do you have any VIP cards?”

“My face is a VIP card,” Hu Batian glanced at the maid and declared loudly. When the maid studied Hu Batian, she immediately deferentially spoke, “So it’s the young masters of Hu Clan. Please come with me.”

Then, the three were brought to front row seats. Then, she bowed and left. The front row seats were comprised of lavishly decorated rooms. The moment one entered, the clamor outside vanished. Ye Mo sat down on an extremely cozy chair. From his position, he had a clear view of the entire stage.

“Hehe, Ye Mo, do you want to know something? I heard a new auctioneer has arrived at the Treasure Inspection Guild. She is very beautiful and many children of influential families are here just to take a look at her. The moment I arrived home, those brats started bragging about how beautiful she is,” Hu Batian said with a laugh.

“So you’re here for her as well?” Ye Mo asked.

“Hehe, I was coming either way,” Hu Batian clarified as his face flushed red.

“New auctioneer? It won’t be Sister Qi Ying again, right?” Ye Mo thought.
