Chapter 189: Tian Dan City! Medicine Auction!
Inside the room, Qing Lin was somewhat melancholic. After their trip to Zhongzhou, not only had she said goodbye to Sister Xiao Yi Xian, but also to Sister Zi Yan.
Although Qing Lin knew that for Zi Yan, returning to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe meant better personal development, the farewell was still hard to bear.
Xiao Ze held a dragon-shaped jade in his hand, within which he felt a peculiar energy, probably coming from the power of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Ze stored the jade in his ring, then said to Qing Lin, "Alright, it's time to leave."
Qing Lin wiped her tears, nodding at Xiao Ze with slightly reddened eyes. "Young Master Xiao Ze, won't you see me off too?"
"Where could I take you, kiddo? Zi Yan returns to the Taixu Ancient Dragon Tribe because she belongs there, her status is noble, and only by returning to her tribe can she receive better training."
Xiao Ze ruffled Qing Lin's hair, making her smile with joy.
"I want to always be by Young Master Xiao Ze's side, serving him."
"Then make sure you train well. I don't want you to continue as you are now, not even being able to give me a shoulder massage."
Xiao Ze joked, making Qing Lin pout. Before, she had tried to give him a massage, but Xiao Ze's current constitution was too formidable for her.
They joked for a while before heading to the Dan Tower. The Dan Tower was in the center of Zhongzhou and, although there was a spatial wormhole, it would still take more than ten days to get there.
Inside the spatial corridor, Xiao Ze's spaceship continued to advance rapidly. However, as they approached the center of the region, there were many spaceships in the corridor.
Hearing the noise of the nearby ships, Xiao Ze and Qing Lin looked at each other and smiled slightly.
"When we leave this wormhole, we will arrive at Tian Dan City. In Tian Dan City, there is another wormhole that leads directly to the Dan Region, so we can stay there for a few days before heading to the Dan Region."
Xiao Ze shared his plans with Qing Lin.
Qing Lin obediently nodded. She would do whatever Xiao Ze said.
However, Qing Lin was a bit confused. "Young Master Xiao Ze, what's so special about Tian Dan City? Why do we have to stay there?"
"Did you forget what I told you before? In the Dan Region, there are five families related to the Dan Tower, and the most prominent family is the Dan Family, which is in Tian Dan City."
Xiao Ze explained. "Since Tian Dan City is the base of operations for the Dan Family, it will undoubtedly be very prosperous and it's more likely there will be valuable things there."
Qing Lin listened to Xiao Ze's explanation and looked at him with admiration.
"Young Master Xiao Ze, you are very knowledgeable."
"Knowledge expands with experience."
Xiao Ze quickly changed the topic to avoid revealing that he had never been to Zhongzhou before.
Fortunately, Qing Lin was very intelligent and didn't insist on the previous topic.
Two days later, Qing Lin was meditating next to Xiao Ze, who continued to send battle energy to the spaceship.
Suddenly, Xiao Ze looked up at the horizon and gently tapped Qing Lin on the shoulder. "Qing Lin, we are arriving at Tian Dan City!"
Qing Lin opened her eyes and saw the silver flash in the distance, filled with excitement and anticipation.
With a momentary feeling of weightlessness, light shone before their eyes. When they adjusted to the light, Qing Lin observed the scene in front of her and couldn't help but hold her breath.
In a wide black stone courtyard, there was a crowd of people and spaceships emerging from the wormhole, making it an extremely bustling place.
Xiao Ze collected the spaceship and listened to the discussions around him.
"This is Tian Dan City, after traveling day and night, we finally arrived at Tian Dan City."
"If we missed this auction organized by the Dan Family, it would really be a shame."
"Although the Dan Family is discreet as one of the five great families, their power should not be underestimated. This medicine auction will attract the attention of all the major factions in Zhongzhou."
Xiao Ze showed some interest.
A medicine auction would be interesting to see and would be a great opportunity to witness the event in Zhongzhou.
"Let's go, let's take a look at this supposed medicine auction."
Xiao Ze took Qing Lin's hand and followed the crowd towards Tian Dan City.
There were still two days left for the medicine auction, but the excitement in Tian Dan City was already evident.
On the black stone paved road, there was a crowd of people and a bustle of street vendors offering their products on both sides.
"Tian Dan City is really as lively as the Young Master said."
Qing Lin murmured as her eyes constantly scanned the products on both sides, almost overwhelmed by the quantity.
"Let's take advantage while it hasn't started yet, and go slowly."
Xiao Ze noticed the excitement in Qing Lin's voice.
Seeing that Qing Lin rarely experienced this kind of thing, he took her for a walk down the street, occasionally stopping to buy some items that Qing Lin liked.
Although Qing Lin wore a cloak, Xiao Ze couldn't see her face, but he could sense her good mood through some gestures.
No matter how long the road, it would eventually come to an end.
The place where the crowd gathered was a huge fortified building. People were coming and going, but no one dared to cause trouble.
Above the entrance was a plaque with five large characters: Tian Dan Auction House.
Xiao Ze led Qing Lin to the Tian Dan Auction House. Upon arrival, a few guards glanced at them and then ignored them.
The Dan Family dared to organize such a large medicine auction, naturally, they wouldn't reject the arrival of customers, even if they were mysterious.
Of course, all of this was based on their own strength.
Inside the auction, a tall, slender woman in a qipao received them.
"Do you want to participate in the auction or sell something?"
"I have a batch of medicines that I want to auction at your establishment."
An elderly voice sounded, and the tall, slender woman momentarily stood in shock before her expression turned much more respectful.
"Please, follow me."
The woman was intelligent and competent in her work at the auction house. From Xiao Ze's words, she could discern that this was an important client. And with a high probability, he was an alchemist, as even the powerful would have difficulty accumulating so many medicines.
Xiao Ze followed behind Qing Lin and entered a luxuriously decorated meeting room. Inside the meeting room was an elderly man with white hair, wearing a purple and gold badge on his chest with six shining stars.
"Dan Elder, this gentleman wants to auction a batch of medicines."
Upon hearing this, the elder seemed surprised and looked up to observe the two people in front of him. The leader had a discreet and reserved presence, difficult to perceive, and the other didn't seem as important.
"Then, please show it to me. Let me evaluate it."
Xiao Ze looked surprised at the elder, not expecting the Dan Family to value this auction so much. They had sent a high-ranking sixth-grade alchemist to oversee it, suggesting they didn't want to miss the opportunity to auction high-level medicines.
Xiao Ze took out the Jue Ying Dan, feeling its medicinal power. The elder's expression changed slightly upon sensing it, and he straightened in his seat.
