In one of the rooms, a young man was sitting on the bed, waving his fingers. People might think that the young man was crazy if anyone saw him. That young man was none other than Lin Chen. He was sorting out the weapons to be sold.
Even though the system is being upgraded, it can still open the inventory. Lin Chen chose high-level weapons with different effects and increased attack power on the user.
After it was enough with 3 weapons of the type of ice, fire, and lightning, Lin Chen came down from his room and ate the breakfast that had been prepared.
…
Lin Chen got up from his seat and rushed to the Red Dragon Pavilion to auction the items; it was quite easy to find the Red Dragon Pavilion building, which had a striking shape with 6 floors soaring high. Lin Chen changed his appearance to that of a middle-aged man and wore a black robe to cover his identity.
Just as Lin Chen was about to step inside, he was intercepted by two guards, "What do you want to do?" asked one of the bald guards.
"Auction goods," replied Lin Chen.
"Auction goods? With your appearance like a tramp, want to auction things off?" another guard asked sarcastically, pointing at Lin Chen's torn robes and holes.
Lin Chen, who received unpleasant treatment from the guards, gave off an aura of cultivation up to the Heavenly King Realm *1.
Intimidated by Lin Chen's aura, the guards fell to the ground with pale faces, "Sir… P-Please… Stop…" the guard stuttered.
Seeing the faces of the guards, Lin Chen pulled his aura back and rushed in. He didn't want to cause a big commotion that could lead to murder.
"Can I help you, sir?" asked one of the waiters politely.
Maybe because the waiter had seen Lin Chen's strength from afar, he didn't want to anger his customers even though Lin Chen's clothes were messy.
Lin Chen turned his head in the direction of the voice, "Auction items," replied Lin Chen.
"Since you want to auction an item, let's follow me to the appraisal room," he said, pointing to one of the rooms and walking.
Lin Chen nodded in reply and followed the maid from behind into one of the rooms with a fairly old wooden door.
Knock... Knock... Knock...
"Sir, someone wants to auction something," said the waiter, knocking on the door.
"Come in," came the reply from inside the room with a heavy tone.
Crack...
The door opened, and Lin Chen entered the room. One could see the older man appraising the various items to be auctioned later, even though the Red Dragon Pavilion specialized in weapons sales. However, the Red Dragon Pavilion was also an auction center at the border, auctioning off other valuables once a year.
The old man turned his head towards the door and immediately stood up upon learning of Lin Chen's higher cultivation level, "Good afternoon, Master. I'm Su Qian, the appraiser of the Red Dragon Pavilion, if I may know what item Master will auction off?" asked the old man bowing respectfully.
Lin Chen smiled and took out a storage ring, "I will auction the weapons that are inside," replied Lin Chen, throwing down his storage ring.
Immediately Su Qian circulated her consciousness into the storage ring, and her expression changed with her mouth wide open, "Th-This… High-grade Silver-Silver Weapon… And there are 3 more," he stuttered.
Su Qian, curious, looked at the storage ring, and Lin Chen, in turn, wanted to ask Lin Chen about weapons. However, considering Lin Chen's high cultivation level, he gave up his intention.
"Master, the Red Dragon Pavilion will pay 500,000 gold taels as a starting fee. The shortfall will be paid after the auction is over. And please, sir, accept this," said Si Qian, handing a wooden plate to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen took the wooden plate and looked at the old man in front of him, "What is this?" asked Lin Chen, tilting his head.
"This is the Red Dragon Pavilion Plate. With this, Master can get a 5% purchase discount and enter a higher floor," explained Su Qian.
Lin Chen only nodded his head in understanding. After taking a fee from selling weapons, it didn't take long for him to leave the Red Dragon Pavilion.
***
Now Lin Chen was walking around the city after changing his clothes. He chose to change clothes because two people were following him as soon as he left the Red Dragon Pavilion.
"It seems that the two men were the geezer's orders. It's still a million years too soon to keep up with me," Lin Chen muttered.
Lin Chen returned to the inn and lay down on the bed, "The auction is still 4 days away. What am I going to do to pass the time." muttered Lin Chen, looking up at the room's ceiling.
***
In one of the Red Dragon Pavilion rooms, two people in black robes are prostrating on one leg to salute the older man staring at them.
"Greetings, Elder, we lost track of that person," said one of the black-robed men known as Silent Night.
"What! How could you guys lose track of him!" said the old man in an annoyed tone.
"Sorry, Elder. That person was very fast when he arrived at a crowded place. Suddenly that person disappeared," said another hastily.
"That's right, Elder. And wouldn't it be bad for us to seek trouble with people who cultivate in the Heavenly King Realm," said Silent Night anxiously.
The old man who heard Silent Night's words chuckled lightly with a sly smile showing on his face, "Only a Heavenly King *1, our Lord is also a Heavenly King even at *3. Plus, behind the Shadow Pagoda, there is that man" said the old man in a scornful tone.
The two robed people nodded and smiled as they recalled the power behind the Shadow Pagoda. Because of this power, the Shadow Pagoda was famous, and not many looked for trouble.
But what they didn't know was that even if there were 1 million people who possessed the cultivation of the Shadow Pagoda supporters, Lin Chen would only need a small amount of effort to kill them all.
***
Two days later…
Just like the previous days, Lin Chen was only in his room, cultivating, eating, sleeping, sightseeing, killing beasts, and then selling them.
"If only there were a cellphone," said Lin Chen, staring at the ceiling.
Lin Chen shook his head, dispelling his ridiculous fantasy. He got up and sat down to take some Qi Energy Pills to assist him in breaking through. He immediately swallowed dozens of Pills, then closed his eyes and cultivated.
As the name suggests, Qi Energy Pills are Pills with abundant Qi. Usually, cultivators still in the Mortal Realm would use these Pills to break through to the next level when they got stuck in cultivation, and their effectiveness varied depending on the Pill's grade and grade.
