Chapter 52: Pearl City

As the economic center of the eastern country and the largest trading city of Haikou, Pearl City is far more prosperous than the Rising Sun City. Bustling crowds weave through the intricate laneways, and the roads are full of traffic and merchants.

The people of the East Kingdom, the people of Chaoyang, the people of the Lietu Country, and even the people of the distant Yupu Country all come here to travel and trade, all kinds of civilized costumes are strange, and rows of low and characteristic shops are lined up on both sides of the street. A dazzling array of goods are displayed in the windows, and brightly colored silks, enticing spices and precious gemstones attract many people's eyes. Vendors scrambled to sell their wares, and the clamor of hawking and haggling filled the neighborhood. Just the simple act of shopping is already unforgettable.

As a harbor city, a huge statue of a goddess perched on the surface of the sea watches quietly, and passenger ships and merchant ships are densely packed with fish cruising on the sea.

"How about it, Pearl City is very lively." The black-robed man looked at Zhan Yue and asked.

Zhan Yue nodded, "It's much more lively than I imagined, there are so many faces and costumes I've never seen before." ”

"Pearl City is the most important port city in the East, here is a mixture of fish and dragons, the undercurrent is surging under the prosperous surface, the city lord of other cities is generally served by the powerful Xuan, and the one who sits in the Pearl City is a powerful spirit god realm - Zhenhai King Mi Tianwei, he is the uncle of the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, which shows the importance of the Eastern Kingdom to this place. So don't cause trouble in the city. The black-robed man reminded.

"Let's go, we're here for auctions, not for tourism." The two quickly made their way through the crowd and settled into a luxurious hotel. I don't know for what reason, the black-robed man is completely at home.

"Is this auction organized by the Wanju Chamber of Commerce?" Zhan Yue said curiously.

"It is Wanju, Wuwei, Fuyuan three chambers of commerce at the same time, the three are evenly matched here, no one is convinced, and finally under the coordination of the king of Zhenhai, they won the right to hold the only auction in Pearl City, and the three each took out some auction items, and divided them according to the auction proceeds. It is also because it is an auction held by the three major chambers of commerce at the same time, and the Pearl City auction is the largest auction in the eastern country, but not every auction has particularly valuable goods. The black-robed man explained.

"What is the most valuable item that will ever appear at the Pearl Auction?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.

The black-robed man said: "It's hard to say, the value of items is different for different people, and the most valuable things I know are the nine-grade elixir, the gold exercises, ancient relics, etc. I remember that at that time, the nine-rank pill was sold for a sky-high price of 1 billion amethyst coins, just one pill has this price, but it is a pity that there is no ninth-order alchemist in the world, otherwise he must be the richest man in the world. ”

"1 billion?" Zhan Yue gasped, no one could refine the Nine Rank Pill, most of them were found in the ancient ruins, a Pill was worth 1 billion, and he had a Nine Rank King Kong Pill on his body.

"You have a good rest, our rooms are next to each other, and if there is really anything, you can get over." The black-robed man gave an eviction order.

"Okay." Zhan Yue did not hesitate, returned to his room, and asked Xiao Er to boil the bath water. After many days of traveling, it is really comfortable to take a good bath.

Warm water is in a huge wooden barrel with white petals floating on the water, which have the effect of cleansing and awakening the body. Soaking in warm water, Zhanyue only feels happy physically and mentally.

"Comfortable, I'll ask what kind of flower this is later, I'll prepare some myself, and I'll add some to the bath in the future." Zhan Yue's arms roamed around her body, relieving her tiredness.

Just as Zhan Yue was comfortably soaking in the bath, a figure suddenly pushed the window in. Zhan Yue fixed his eyes and saw that it was the black-robed man.

"Are you taking a shower?"

"What are you doing by walking through the door, by the window?"

Both asked questions at the same time.

"Senior brother, go next door and take a look, I obviously feel that spiritual power fluctuation." A voice came from outside.

"It's too late!" The black-robed man looked around in Zhanyue's room, but couldn't find a suitable place to hide. Finally, she looked at the huge wooden barrel, gritted her teeth and jumped directly into it, and then took an elixir in the water to hold her breath.

Soon after, two figures broke through the door.

The two of them are dressed in the same attire, dressed in a cyan suit, with short hair, sharp eyes, and domineering.

"Aren't there two mystic masters?" Zhan Yue looked at these two people with a chill in his heart, the momentum of these two people was terrifying, I am afraid that they are all mysteries.

"Big brother, no." The two of them glanced at Zhan Yue's room, and they both glanced at Zhan Yue suspiciously, and Zhan Yue looked at the two of them with a 'panicked' face.

"I'm afraid I've run away." The man replied, and then said apologetically to Zhan Yue, "Little brother, excuse me." ”

The two closed the door again and left. Although Zhan Yue was angry, he was helpless, and others forced him to break into the door, but he was helpless.

The black-robed man's head emerged from under the water, but Zhan Yue's expression moved, and he pressed the head into the water again, regardless of the black-robed man's struggle.

The black-robed man hiding in the water felt that she was about to explode, her whole face was pressed against Zhanyue's thigh, and she was firmly pressed by him, but she didn't dare to use her strength at this time.

"Bang." The door was forced open again, and the two men went and returned.

"Two seniors, is there anything else?" Zhan Yue looked at the two of them with a pitiful and innocent expression.

"No... It's okay" The two looked at the empty room, and indeed couldn't feel the breath of the second person, and then left in a huff.

When Zhan Yue asked the goddess of the Ming God to find out that the two had indeed left, Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand at the same time.

The black-robed man who came out of the water had red eyes, as if she was going to eat people, and she raised her hand to slap her, but the slender jade hand was grasped by Zhan Yue and did not fight.

"The situation is critical, and you can't take revenge."

The black-robed man's chest rose and fell violently, and it took a long time to calm down and jump out of the bucket. Wet and soaked, she could no longer hide her graceful figure, she glanced at Zhanyue viciously, and then returned to her room to change her clothes.

"Let's go, I can't stay here any longer, I'm afraid they'll come back." The black-robed man came to Zhanyue's room again, and Zhanyue was already dressed at this moment.

Zhan Yue didn't ask much, and the black-robed man didn't say much, and the two seemed to have tacitly forgotten what happened before.

"How did they find you?" Zhan Yue was puzzled, how could the black-robed man be found without leaving the house, could it be that there was some trace mark.

"There is a mark left on my spiritual veins, and as long as I use my spiritual power, I can be perceived by them within a certain range. Although I try my best to control the spiritual power in my body, there are times when I may not be able to control it, such as sleeping or other involuntary spiritual energy fluctuations. The black-robed man did not hide this key information, after all, it was Zhanyue who was currently in charge of her safety.

"Hey, I kind of understand that I'm already on the thief ship, I didn't expect that there would be a master of the Mystery Master chasing you." Zhan Yue smiled bitterly.

"You... Are you going to go back? It's okay to regret it, it's none of your business after all. The black-robed man was in a complicated mood, and she didn't know that those people had actually tracked down Pearl City.
