Chapter 132 Azure Fragrance City And Auction
It took another day before they reached the Azure Fragrance City. The boat had stopped in the Red Stone City earlier, where Long Ming and Ming Yuexin spent their time sightseeing.
There, they also fetched some cultivation resources that nourish Yang and Fire attributes. After all, the Sunshine Lake is truly a beautiful treasure trove.
Thanks to the refinement of Scarlet Yang Qi and dual cultivating with Ming Yuexin another few times, Long Ming already reached the Mid stage of the True Core Formation Realm.
However, the one who made great progress was Ming Yuexin. She already reached the Peak of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm.
Just in a single day, she achieved more in the path of sword thanks to Long Ming's jade slip of Brightsky Sword Dao than she could achieve in years. Also, she managed to improve her Scorching Summer Sword Intent.
Not to mention, Liu Ye didn't dare to take a step outside after that day. Although Long Ming was relaxed after having such good blackmail material, he knew the nature of Liu Ye.
Unless Long Ming really controlled his mind or killed him, there was no way Liu Ye going to sit still.
' Even with the same surname, the Liu Family of Southern Green Mountain and the Liu Family of Holy Qilin City are so different.' Long Ming clicked his tongue,
But for now, he will at least remain under some control. Long Ming nodded as he and Ming Yuexin stood before the Azure Fragrance City.
" Haah, Just like Black Pearl City, Azure Fragrance City used to be under our control. But now, It's divided between the Purple Cloud Sect and the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire." Ming Yuexin muttered.
" Hmm, Since Mu Qinglian came here, she must be in the sect abode of Azure Fragrance City."
" We have a sect abode here?" Long Ming was surprised. Ming Yuexin nodded. " Actually, the current City Lord's Palace used to be ours. But after the previous generation sect master sold the Azure Fragrance City, the abode was also gone."
" However, After Sect Master Xia came, she managed to get a medium size abode for our disciples. Alas, the current abode in front of City Lord's Mansion is like a firefly before the moon."
But then, Ming Yuexin clenched her fist. " But with our current improvement, It might only take a few decades before we can regain it. I will do my best to make the Four Seasons Valley the powerful Imperial Sect of the past."
" Haha, I am sure that day isn't far away, Sister Ming." Long Ming nodded with approval.
The management of Azure Fragrance City was pretty strict. If rules aren't followed, the guards under the city management will apprehend that cultivator.
Long Ming and Ming Yuexin walked on the city street, which was bustling. His Heavenly Revelation Eyes scanned the surrounding, revealing powerful auras in both open and hidden.
" As expected. The Azure Sun Secret Realm really attracted the attention of all sects in Eastern Province, huh?" Long Ming clicked his tongue.
" Why not? Don't you know, Eastern Province could be called a blessed region even in the entire Rain Dragon Continent. Although most powerful cultivators are in Central Province, the Eastern Province is more resourceful."
" Not to mention, this secret realm used to be a relic of ancient Four Seasons Valley, built by a Heavenly Emperor. Who would in the right mind won't attend such an event?"
" Mm, You are right. However, funny that people still attending the Azure Sun Sacred Realm even after thousands of years." Long Ming chuckled. " I wonder, what are the things that attract people?"
" Well, There are various places in Azure Sun Sacred Realm that are beneficial for the cultivators under Harmonization Realm." MIng Yuexin spoke.
" For example, The Dark Beast Forest of Inner Zone, it's filled with various demonic beasts. These demonic beasts are much more powerful than the beasts outside. And the resources we get from them are also abundant."
" Then, there is Ancient Herb Palace, where cultivators contend against each other for millennium old medicinal herbs. Some of hers which couldn't be found outside are inside the Azure Sun Sacred Realm."
Long Ming nodded when he heard Ming Yuexin's explanation. Even after getting plundered every time, Azure Sun Scared Realm is like a treasure trove with endless treasures.
No wonder people could do anything just to get a spot inside the Azure Sun Sacred Realm. After all, even an ordinary cultivator with no background can score big if his luck allows.
However, the warning of Jiang Wanxue and Mu Qinglian still rang in Long Ming's heart.
' The calamity of Four Seasons Valley originated in Azure Sun Sacred Realm. But, What exactly it is?" Is it the reason for abnormally high death among Four Seasons Sect disciples?'
Long Ming pondered about these possibilities. It didn't take long before they reached the abode of Four Seasons Valley. As the guards saw the tokens of Long Ming and Ming Yuexin, their expressions changed as they hurriedly invited them in.
" Ahh, Young Master Long, and Young Lady Ming, welcome to this humble abode. I am Ah Chong, the caretaker of this abode."
" Elder Chong, I hope you can make proper arrangements for our stay." Long Ming nodded with a smile.
" Absolutely, Young Master Long. It will be my pleasure." Ah Chong nodded hurriedly.
" However, Did Saintess Mu also came here?" Long Ming didn't waste time and asked the question directly.
" Indeed, she is also staying here." Ah Chong nodded. " I think she is currently in the Blind Treasure Auction in the southern part of Azure Fragrance City."
" Blind Treasure Auction?"
" Indeed. It's a treasure auction where cultivators need to pick up treasures that are inside the stones. Beside, these stones are very special, it can easily block off the divine sense of a cultivator."
" But, What kind of treasures are inside the stones?"
" Abstract Intent Jades." Ah Chong's voice turned solemn. " Abstract Intent Jades are special types of jades, that contain the natural grand dao of heaven and earth."
" There are five grades of Abstract Intent Jades. Grade five jades are ordinary ones while grade one jades are extremely rare and valuable." Ah Chong explained.
" Ah, I know." Ming Yuexin nodded as she continued. " As Elder Chong said, the Abstract Intent Jade contains the natural dao rhythm of heaven and earth."
" The man made dao treasures can be compatible to some while incompatible to others. But natural treasures got no such restriction."
" Assume you get a fire type Abstract Intent Jade. Using it, your chances of comprehending the Intent of Fire would increase greatly."
" The higher grade jades are even more terrifying. Nine Transformations of Soul Realm might show interest in a grade five Abstract Intent Jade."
' Ah, I see… I guess it's the first rock cutting game in the immortal world I am going to attend.' Long Ming nodded.
" Very well, Since Senior Sister Mu went there, we will also go there."
" As you say, Brother Long."
Long Ming was interested in the event. So, he and Ming Yuexin went to the Blind Treasure Auction.
The bustling crowd was almost akin to a busy day in Grand Sky City. Long Ming could see various hawkers sitting around, trying to sell their treasures with alluring offers.
" A fragment of treasure map! A treasure mark that might lead to Heavenly Emperor's treasure in Azure Sun Sacred Realm!"
" Piece of ancient treasure! This treasure contains an aura of Imperial Might! Hurry and buy it only for 200,000 High grade spirit stones!"
" Great Thunder Destruction Talisman! A single talisman can finish even a Harmonization Realm cultivator! Hurry and buy it for 100,000 High grade spirit stones."
" Haah, Even if a small part of the population falls for these fake items, the vendors would make a killing." Ming Yuexin sighed.
" Well, The Azure Sun Secret Realm is going to open. Those who don't have any big backing will make sure to gear up…Even at such an exorbitant price." Long Ming grinned.
Soon, they arrived in the street where the Blind Treasure Auction was happening.
" Welcome everyone! This is the yearly event of Hundred Treasure Pavilion!"
" These special rocks are born outside the Azure Sun Secret Realm, filled with dangerous spatial turbulence. Our brave miners mined these rocks and brought them for you."
" So, Don't hesitate to buy these rocks!" The old annoucer laughed loudly as his voice echoed.
" Who knows? An ordinary rock might contain the supreme dao rhythm of heaven and earth?"
' Truly a businessman.' Long Ming chuckled as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes opened. The mysterious azure depth in his eyes became more resplendent as he looked at the rocks of various sizes.
Ming Yuexin was also interested in the event, trying to gauge the rocks with her own ability.
" Meh, I can't sense even the slightest aura! All the rocks are feeling the same!" Ming Yuexin snorted.
" It's alright, Sister Ming. We will find some good stuff soon." Long Ming chuckled. But then, his expression brightened.
" Aha! There is…Mu Qinglian."
Ming Yuexin followed Long Ming's gaze and also found Mu Qinglian.
As they were about to walk to her, they saw a group of youngsters surrounding Mu Qinglian.
Ming Yuexin's eyes turned playful when she saw that.
" Oh my, I guess Mu Qinglian's suitors are active again. And that guy… Is he the Young Sword of Green Cloud?"
" Young Sword of Green Cloud?" Long Ming snorted, his lips curling into a devilish grin.
" I will chew him and turn him into a green fart."
