On the way back, Zhang Tianhao was obviously not in a good mood, and Ling Yun had no intention of comforting him, and the two were silent all the way.

"Prepare, I may be leaving Xinglong City in the near future. Ling Yun suddenly remembered something, "I urgently need to find a place where I can become stronger quickly. ”

"Becoming stronger quickly?" Zhang Tianhao raised his head, "I seem to know that there is a place in Xinglong City that meets your requirements." ”

"Xinglong City, right here?" Ling Yun was stunned.

"I don't know if you've heard of Brother Xiao Feng...... Xinglong Sacred Pool?"

"The Holy Pool, is that the place where the Ancient Spirit Clan used to train its disciples, and he reopened it?" Ling Yun was quite surprised.

The so-called sacred pond is a sacred place that stood here long before the construction of Xinglong City. It is rumored that the sacred pool was a place where the ancient spirits trained their juniors, but no one had entered it since the fall of the spirits. The Spirit Race has ruled the continent for 270,000 years, and if it weren't for the Chi Rebellion that broke out 20,000 years ago, I'm afraid there would be nothing to do with the Terran race. But the heritage accumulated over more than 200,000 years is undoubtedly a huge wealth, so the place where the relics of the Spirit Clan appear is the object of competition from all forces.

"Don't you know? Those royal family and sect Tianjiao are already on their way here. Zhang Tianhao said in surprise.

"They're here, aren't they afraid of being beaten by the Demon Sect?" Ling Yun pouted.

As a real place outside the law, Xinglong City naturally can't be a gangster who can be the boss of only a few Tianyuan Realms, and the real danger comes from the demon sect that has been fighting with the major sects and empires for thousands of years-the evil spirit.

As the largest demon sect in the rivers and lakes, and the only opponent who is qualified to make the major decent sects really pay attention, the strength of the evil spirit is obviously not to be underestimated. According to rumors in the rivers and lakes, this Xinglong City can almost be regarded as the most important stronghold of the Demon Sect except for Blackwater City, where the main altar is located. Compared to a demon sect of this level, those gangsters whose sphere of influence would not exceed Yuezhou at most were undoubtedly insignificant.

"Naturally, there are masters to accompany you. Zhang Tianhao's eyes showed a look of envy, "If it is replaced by other ruins, those families will naturally not let the juniors of the family come to take risks, and directly send a few masters to demolish the ruins." But this holy pool has a self-protection mechanism, forcibly grabbing the treasure will cause self-destruction, and people who are too strong can't enter, plus this is originally a testing ground for the younger generation of the spirit race, and there is no great danger, so it is the right to practice. ”

"Self-protection mechanism?" Ling Yun remembered the book he had read a few years ago, "Why does it sound like the ancient tomb in Nanchuan City?"

"After all, it's almost the same era. ”

"This holy pool is indeed a good place to improve your strength. Ling Yun muttered, "When will it be opened?"

"The day after tomorrow, but it might be a bit of a hassle if you want to get in, because the four keys to the final trial are now in the hands of the Nanyang Auction House. ”

"Nanyang Auction House?"

"That's the only auction house in the entire Xinglong City. In such a chaotic place, it is very difficult for the owner to run business normally if the owner does not have the strength, and this is especially true for the auction house, because you can't even guarantee the normal storage of the auction items. This auction house has the support of the Canglong Gang, the largest gang in the whole of Viet Na, to survive to this day. ”

"Such a hot potato, presumably they don't dare to keep it in their hands for too long, right?"

"Tomorrow they'll have a public auction. Zhang Tianhao scratched his head.

"Let's go. Ling Yun was not talking.

Another day passed.

"Hey, get up!" Ling Yun smashed a piece of clothing on Zhang Tianhao's face, "Change this dress." ”

"What......" Zhang Tianhao sat up in a daze, "Where did you get these clothes?"

"You don't have to worry about that, you just need to know that the dress you have on you won't be able to enter the auction house at all. Ling Yun said nonchalantly, "Hurry up and put it on, the auction is about to start." ”

“......”

Walking in the splendid VIP passage, Zhang Tianhao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Although he had heard of the luxury inside the auction house before, Zhang Tianhao felt that he didn't know how to write the word "rich" until today. Fortunately, he had a mask on his face, otherwise his expression would have been suspicious if his net worth was more than the dress he was wearing.

Ling Yun didn't feel anything, after all, he came out of the capital, and he couldn't catch up with half of the luxury of Ling Mansion here.

The receptionist dropped them off in a private room and withdrew. Zhang Tianhao immediately began to look around, but Ling Yun sat down and closed his eyes. He had other things to do before what he wanted came out.

After about half a pillar of incense, Ling Yun reopened his eyes. He had just used his divine sense to probe the rest of the private rooms around him, and as he had thought, he had sensed a lot of familiar information.

"The one in the box on the west side is definitely Jing Yuan, and the one on the east side is ...... It seems to be that the young sect master of the Wuji Sect, Mo Feng, as for the others, except for the one who is directly opposite, the rest are completely unrecognizable. However, there is no one at the level of the big guy, and it seems that they are all protecting their young master in the dark, otherwise there is absolutely no way for me to quietly feel the situation here just now. ”

"Forget it, let's sleep for a while, this kind of divine sense detection is too draining. Ling Yun yawned and fell asleep in his chair.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Tianhao woke him up:

"Hurry up, the auction of the Holy Pool Key has begun!"

Ling Yun rubbed his eyes and sat up sleepily.

Next, it is one of the finale auction items of this field, and it must be because of him that many distinguished guests came. The enchanting auctioneer said in a sweet voice, "He is also one of the four keys that we have gone through a lot of hard work to obtain the treasure, which can open the final trial of the legendary holy pool, with a starting price of 20,000 gold coins!"

"Twenty-five thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!"

In an instant, the price skyrocketed to 80,000 gold coins. Many people may earn only a tenth of that amount in their lifetime.

"One hundred thousand!" a strong voice came from the second private room.

"That'......" Ling Yun narrowed his eyes, "Long Zhantian?"

"One hundred and one hundred thousand!" Mo Feng in the box next to Lingyun was not to be outdone.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!" a female voice came.

Everyone looked at the third private room.

"The little princess of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Nan Ling'er......," someone whispered below.

"Two hundred thousand!"

The audience shook.

"Jing Yuan, this kid...... It's quite big. Ling Yun was stunned for a moment.

"Two hundred thousand once!"

No one answered.

"Two hundred thousand twice!"

Still no one answered. 200,000 has clearly reached the ceiling.

The hammer of the auctioneer of "Two Hundred Thousand Three ......" was about to fall, and another crisp girl interrupted her:

"Two hundred and one thousand!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at the masked woman in room eight, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!" Jing Yuan also frowned.

"Two hundred and thirty thousand!" the masked woman had no intention of giving up.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!" Jing Yuan gritted his teeth and raised the number a little more.

"Tsk, that woman can't be the trust of the auction house, right?" Ling Yun stared intently at Room 8.

But fortunately, the masked woman did not continue to follow up, and the first key finally fell into Jing Yuan's hands.

The competition for the next three keys was obviously more intense, and in the end, room 4, room 1 and room 8 each won one.

"Let's go, the purpose has been achieved. Ling Yun turned around and left the private room.

Zhang Tianhao hurriedly followed.

At the same time, room eight.

"I said Wan Yingying, it seems that we only have 200,000 in our hands, right?" Si Jin stopped the evil spirit saintess who wanted to leave.

"Is there a problem?" Wan Yingying looked innocent.

"Okay, okay, no problem, no problem. Si Jin was quite helpless, "You just don't have to forget what we're here for." ”

"Didn't you just bring that guy back from the Holy Pool, and you reminded me a few times along the way?" Wan Yingying yawned.

"That's not your average character, and I don't want to go on a mission to put my life on the line. Si Jin frowned.

"How long has that old fellow been in the Sacred Pool? Wan Yingying didn't care, "I won't tell you, there are still a bunch of waiting for me to deal with in Xinglong City." ”

"......" Si Jin looked at the departing figure with a worried face, "I just hope that kid can be reliable......"
