Chapter 252: The Exchange and the Mysterious Lin Yan
Upon arriving in Yangcheng, the first thing Lin Yan did wasn't to search for information or find a place to stay. Instead, he used his spiritual energy to carefully assess the cultivation levels of the warriors throughout the city.
Lin Yan was a cautious person and never entered a battle unprepared. He believed that knowing the level of the city's warriors would influence how he would treat them.
After this assessment, Lin Yan gained a general understanding of the cultivation levels of the warriors in Yangcheng. Although the warriors here were stronger than those in the previous city, they were still too weak for him.
Most of the warriors were at the advanced levels of the Creation Realm, and the most powerful ones barely reached the half-step to the Nirvana Realm.
Although Lin Yan was also at the half-step to the Nirvana Realm, his level was clearly more advanced. With this certainty, a smile appeared on his face.
First, he led his group to find a place to rest, while a bold plan began to form in his mind. Initially, Lin Yan planned to act after a rest, but Mo Ling and Manshan asked for time to cultivate.
During this time, they had received many benefits. For example, the Sacred Light Kingdom warriors they faced before had several earth-grade spiritual treasures. For Lin Yan, these were no longer useful, so he let Lin Dong choose some and distributed the rest among Mo Ling and Manshan.
Both were very happy, each selected a treasure, and now they wanted to start refining them. Lin Yan didn't rush them, as they had been respectful and helpful during the journey. He even helped them in refining the treasures, using thousands of Nirvana Pills, something they wouldn't have wasted like that.
With everyone's cultivation finished, Lin Yan led them to the city gate, where there was a constant coming and going of people, creating a constant buzz. The main reason for this was a small exchange.
Many warriors came here to sell martial techniques and get Nirvana Pills. Needs varied; some preferred powerful techniques to improve their current ability, while others needed many Nirvana Pills to prepare for future breakthroughs.
Although this exchange wasn't official, there were many unwritten rules. Sometimes, the price wasn't fair due to power influence. If a powerful person wanted to buy something at a low price, the seller often had to accept to avoid trouble.
"Lin Yan, are you going to sell something?" Mo Ling asked when they arrived.
They knew Lin Yan wasn't interested in buying common martial techniques, as he had many powerful ones. What he needed were Nirvana Pills, so he probably came to sell techniques.
Lin Yan nodded with a smile, without specifying what he would sell. Lin Dong noticed his expression and knew he was plotting something.
Upon reaching the exchange, everyone paid ten Nirvana Pills to enter and prepared to line up and sell their items.
"Good sirs, I have a black scale armor, an earth-grade treasure. It can withstand attacks from an advanced warrior of the Creation Realm. Additionally, it has a formation that protects against energy suppression in the ancient battlefield. Ideal for nighttime fights. Let's start the auction at five thousand Nirvana Pills," announced a burly warrior.
Lin Yan showed no interest and waited patiently, with no one knowing what he was thinking. While others brought out their items, he remained silent and uninterested.
Mo Ling and the others grew increasingly curious about Lin Yan's plans. Finally, it was his turn to auction.
Lin Yan stepped onto the stage with a smile, attracting everyone's attention. However, upon seeing he was empty-handed, the crowd became puzzled.
"What are you going to auction, friend?" someone asked.
