The meal was very relaxing. The old man did not ask him anything, and did not probe him either. He even took out a few more jugs of wine, and enjoyed himself to the fullest.
"Why didn't you call me when it was so lively?"
As the three of them were drinking, Fang Xian's voice came from behind. His face was full of smiles, which showed that he had a good harvest.
Wang Bo said, "You are cultivating there. Who dares to disturb you? I'm just helping you entertain Elder Brother Jiang. You owe me a favor …"
Fang Xian walked to the side of the crowd. When he saw Wang Bo's master, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Fang Xian pays his respects to Old Master Cheng."
The old man nodded at him, then praised Jiang Fann.
"You have brought a good kid, and the wine you brought is also good."
"Of course, but Elder Brother Jiang didn't offend you, right? If you have offended me, don't lower yourself to his level …"
"I am not your master. How can it be so troublesome? Didn't you see how happy we were drinking? But you, why didn't you come and greet me when you came to my place? "
Fang Xiang hurriedly said, "You are famous for being carefree. I don't know that the old master is in the city, and I only came here temporarily with Elder Brother Jiang. We will leave tomorrow morning."
"Cut the crap and punish yourself with three cups first. You haven't even drunk with me yet."
Wang Bo immediately gave him a seat, and Fang Xiang immediately followed suit.
The old man was satisfied, and then he said to him, "You brats shouldn't have much chance to meet the young people outside. I also can't see through his background. Where did you meet him?"
Fang Xiang did not even think about it and replied directly, "I met Elder Brother Jiang at a training ground. He came from a hidden family, so the outside world doesn't know about him."
"No wonder I don't have any impression of the wine."
Jiang Fann said, "If Senior likes it, I still have one more jug here. I'll give it to Senior."
After saying that, a jug of wine appeared in front of Jiang Fann. The old man did not hold back and directly put it into his Hundred Treasures Bag.
He then said with a smile, "I'm almost done eating. You young people can eat."
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Wang Bo, "Don't stay here and eat and drink. Come with me. I have something to arrange for you."
Wang Bo's face was filled with unwillingness, but before he could say anything, his master pulled his collar and dragged him away...
After Fang Xiang confirmed that the two of them had left, he said to Jiang Fann seriously, "Master Cheng has an extremely high status in the Heaven Pavilion, and his combat strength is not below my master's. However, his eyes are famous for being sharp. Your identity might not be able to be hidden anymore."
Jiang Fann did not have much of a reaction. He then asked, "Is there any trouble?"
"Normally, it wouldn't be a problem. But if he knew your identity, the higher-ups of the Nine Heavens Pavilion would most likely know that it would be a bad thing for Elder Brother Jiang."
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. Who cares!"
Fang Xian said, "I hope it's not as troublesome as I thought it would be."
Jiang Fann laughed and asked, "How was the harvest?"
Speaking of this, Fang Xian seemed a little excited.
"Elder Brother Jiang, that disguising technique is indeed unique, but what really surprised me was the Arcane Art that can change one's aura. In my opinion, it is comparable to a godly technique. After I used it, I didn't feel the Spiritual Strength leaking out at all. I don't know how much higher my realm is to be able to sense it."
"If my realm was not completely above yours, it would be almost impossible for me to sense the change in your aura. This is also the specialty of this Arcane Art. It won't change even if you use the technique. Unless your Spiritual Strength is no longer able to maintain this technique. However, with your current realm, you will have to wait for this Arcane Art to improve a little more before you can reach the level I mentioned."
"Of course I know that. Don't just drink. These dishes can only be eaten in the capital. Their effects are comparable to good quality pills. Don't waste them."
After saying that, he sat down and started to eat.
...
On the highest floor of the Nine Heavens Pavilion's Royal City Branch, a big shot with the surname Cheng still had a bit of alcohol on his face.
At this moment, Wang Bo had already used his cultivation technique to dispel the alcohol, and his eyes were clear.
"Master, I really don't know his background. I only know that his name is Jiang Fann. However, since Fang Xiang was able to sneak out with him, his identity must not be simple. I wonder if his realm is really at the fifth level of the Dao Understanding Stage."
"It is indeed not simple. It's very likely that he is not a cultivator from our Upper Nine Heavens."
"How is that possible? Could it be that there are forces from a higher world that send their disciples to our Upper Nine Heavens?"
"Just from the wine, the level of the world he is from is not above our Upper Nine Heavens. He should be from a weaker world. However, it's extremely impossible for a world of that level to travel through the sea of stars to this place. From Fang Xiang's reaction, he should have known him before. Could it be that he is related to the trial? What kind of trial did that kid participate in in the past few years?"
"I really don't know. His master has always been looking for trials for them. This is also the reason why he rose up so early. However, I can go and investigate. I know who knows about this."
"Don't expose your target. I am only interested in the background of that brat. I don't want to provoke that old ghost."
"I'll go and ask."
The next morning, Fang Xiang found Jiang Fann and left the Heaven Pavilion with him.
He didn't even bother to greet Wang Bo.
"If we leave like this, won't Senior Cheng get into trouble?"
"He won't get into trouble with me. After the auction ends, we'll leave the capital immediately. We won't give him any chance. Also, you haven't told me what happened to the spiritual stone."
"Now is not the time to talk about it. Your Heaven Pavilion's deterrent power is not enough either. There was a guy who was squatting outside the door for the whole night, but he was not discovered."
Fang Xing snapped, "This is the royal city. The security here is not something that our Heaven Pavilion can control. Did that guy follow us yesterday?"
After saying that, he turned around and looked around, but he didn't find any suspicious people.
Because the distance from the auction house was not far, Jiang Fann didn't say anything. The two of them quickly entered the chamber.
Fang Xian had booked a room yesterday. He held a token in his hand, which corresponded to the direction.
The two of them arrived on the second floor. A manager received Fang Xian's token and brought the two of them with him.
At this time, Jiang Fann also noticed the other cultivators on the second floor. Those cultivators all emitted different auras, and no one even noticed them.
When he released his Spiritual Sense, Jiang Fann could feel many strong auras. Most of them were cultivators at the Mortal Separating Stage.
After entering the room, the steward left and closed the door quietly. There was a window in the room, and one could see the auction stage on the first floor. There were also many cultivators on the first floor, waiting for the auction to begin.
Fang Xian said, "Elder Brother Jiang, don't worry about anyone knowing your identity if you bid in the room on the second floor. There is also a barrier here, so outsiders won't be able to sense the situation here, and you don't have to be afraid of being followed."
"There are actually five floors here. The higher the floor, the higher the status?"
"Of course. And the rooms on the fourth floor and above are not things that can be bought with money. All of them are important people. Don't underestimate the cultivators on the first floor. There might be great people hiding in them. After all, this is the capital."
After about an hour, the first floor was almost full. At this time, a woman walked onto the auction stage, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
This woman was tall and very beautiful. She had an outstanding temperament and an extremely strong affinity with people.
"I didn't expect that even the auctioneer has reached the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage."
Fang Xian nodded his head, "Not only the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, but her status in the capital is not lower than that of Old Master Cheng. Moreover, she is a member of the royal family."
The rules of the auction house were almost the same. After the woman said a few words, she began to introduce the things that were going to be auctioned today. Because Fang Xian had brought back the booklet yesterday, the first item did not give Jiang Fann too much of a surprise.
However, the feeling brought by the introduction on the booklet was completely different from the real thing. All of the emperor-ranked spiritual treasures were top-grade.
However, the price of the item was indeed a little shocking for Jiang Fann.
Previously, he had sold a Sovereign-rank medicinal pill in the Heaven Pavilion for more than five thousand Heaven Coins. It was already a considerable amount of income, but the price of this Emperor-rank spirit weapon had already exceeded three hundred thousand. That was the price of sixty Sovereign-rank medicinal pills, and the price had no intention of stopping.
The cultivators who were bidding were almost all gathered on the first floor. After all, it was very difficult to find a spiritual treasure of this level. If they wanted to find an expert to refine it, the cost might be far more expensive than this completed product. Moreover, it would take a lot of time and energy, and there was the risk of failure.
It was only until the price of five hundred thousand nine heaven coins that the bidding slowed down.
"Good stuff really has to be sent here to be sold."
Fang Xian said, "Of course, but the service charge here is also very high. However, you don't have to worry about not having a buyer!"
Jiang Fann said, "How much can you get if you can get an immortal herb here?"
Fang Xian opened his mouth and said, "Don't joke around. If there really is an immortal herb, why would you auction it? All the major powers will directly find you and give you benefits that you can't refuse. It can't be measured by nine heaven coins anymore. At that time, we will see what you need."
"Aren't there a few immortal herb masters in the Nine Heavens?"
"You are also an alchemist, so you should know more about alchemy than I do. What use is there to have a strong alchemist? A skilled housewife can't cook without rice. Without materials, even if their methods are heaven-defying, they still can't refine an immortal herb. Those few people who stepped into the ranks of immortal herb masters back then, it is said that they went to a higher plane to find materials and came back. In the entire Nine Heavens, perhaps only the two people from the Pill Sect are able to refine immortal herbs, but they have not been sold to the public for many years."
Jiang Fann frowned and said, "Could it be that there is no immortal root in the Upper Nine Heavens?"
"There was no such thing in the past, but it is said that the great figures of the Pill Sect brought back a stalk of it a thousand years ago. However, they have been hiding it very well. This is the only bit of information we have in the Heaven Pavilion."
