Zhang Yan wanted another portion of such delicious fish, but since it was too expensive, he was reluctant to afford another one and could only enjoy the aftertaste in his mouth. The old saying went right: A man without money is no man at all. Suddenly, an idea to earn money flashed over his mind that he could sell his Spiritual Magical Figures at the auction. The figures were popular everywhere and he had once used one to exchange spiritual stones in the Qingyuan School.
This time, he was going to auction the Anti-Soul Figure with a high price, so that he would eat everything he liked. In great joy, he left the inn.
On the street, a lot of warriors were running in a same direction, which puzzled him, thus he stopped a young man looking low-cultivation and asked, "Excuse me, buddy, where are you rushing?"
"A Life Stone will be demonstrated in the Auction House. We were all eager to join in the fun. There will be no place if late!" The man hurriedly ran forward, only leaving a simple answer.
Zhang Yan's interest instantly arose, stimulating him to follow the crowd's footsteps toward the Auction House.
As the tallest building with three floors in the town, the Auction House served as the trade center, where the warriors could buy what they needed from the house or exchange them with others, so it was the most prosperous place among the whole town.
Zhang Yan arrived at it and found its name Huangquan Auction House was written on a plaque, humming, "Its name is quite domineering and the goods sold must be expensive!"
The entrance was already filled up with a lot of people at present and everyone was trying to squeeze in. Someone near Zhang Yan uttered, "It is said that the Life Stone this time is a rare century-old one! I'm curious about who will be lucky enough to get it."
"Yeah, last time, the ten-year one was sold with a sky-high price and this one must be much costlier!" replied another one.
Their conversation triggered Zhang Yan's curiosity as well, forcing him to be desperate to enter the house. Refusing to queueing up, he began to look around and did find another entrance with no people lining up, therefore, he walked to it.
But it was guarded by two men who blocked him, "This passage is only for VIPs, so please show us your VIP token, otherwise please get to another way."
Not to mention the VIP, he came here today for the first time. He revealed an awkward grin, "How to become a VIP?"
One of the guards casted a contemptuous look at him, and said disgustedly: "Such a low-cultivation warrior without background like you shouldn't have stepped on this place and you just go there to get in the line quickly, or you won't even have the chance to enter the house if late! The VIP passage is not for everyone!"
"Yes, you hurry to leave! Don't stay here and get in the way. The VIPs possess high status that you dare not to offend!" snorted the other one in arrogance.
Irritated a lot, Zhang Yan retorted with dark face, "Who do you think you are?! Just two door-keeping dogs! How dare you have the nerve to shout to your guests? You will suffer due to your awful attitude!"
"Who are you damned talking about?!" The former immediately pointed at him and yelled.
Zhang Yan looked up, responding without any fear, "I'm talking about the two who are keeping the door now. Was I wrong? You are even not dogs?"
"Little guy, you are looking for death!" They got outraged, ready to start a fight.
Holding the cultivation at the second level of Martial Arts State, they could generate no threats to Zhang Yan. The latter directly raised his hand, forming a punch at the face of the closer-to-him gaurd in an instant.The guard, beaten ten feet far away, hit the door of the VIP passage and lost two his front teeth.
Zhang Yan's strength scared the other one. He didn't dare to fight against Zhang Yan anymore, but ran to his fellow and held him up. The crowds' attention was attracted by the battle; they forgot to squeeze for a time and claimed out when the guard was beaten far away, "Good! He deserves it!"
"Awesome! They two used to be arrogant and finally meet a bold man today!"
"I've suppressed my anger on them for a long time for the sake of the Auction House! How can they act as grandsons to the VIPs, but as Grandpas to us?!"
