Chapter 355: Chapter 0268: Encounter with Huang Liuyan Again_2 Chapter 355: Chapter 0268: Encounter with Huang Liuyan Again_2 No matter what, he must leave this place. Even if he could not, he had to find a way to resupply.

Suddenly, Qi Tian’s eyes lit up. He thought of the Teleportation Array Disk that could directly lead to Wanjie City, wondering if it could be used here.

Initially, Qi Tian dared not use the Teleportation Array Disk here, fearing to attract attention and cause considerable trouble. However, now, the cave and the outside world were completely covered by a Rune Array Network, so the people above could not see what was happening below. Qi Tian could use the Teleportation Array Disk undisturbed without even needing to summon Hu Niu. The only concern was whether this Rune Array could block the space. If so, the Teleportation Array Disk could not be used. Qi Tian might really get trapped here to death.

Qi Tian took out the Teleportation Array Disk, placed it far from the altar, and replaced it with a new, unused spirit stone. Then, he cast a Spirit Rune on it, activating the Teleportation Array Disk.

In an instant, the Teleportation Array Disk activated, and Qi Tian felt lighter. He was then teleported out.

Soon, Qi Tian reappeared in Wanjie City. He breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as he could get to Wanjie City, no matter how long he stayed at the bottom of the cave, it didn’t matter. He could fully figure out a way to deal with the Rune Array here in Wanjie City. Even if he couldn’t solve it right away, he could resupply here.

With relief, Qi Tian was about to hire a carriage when he suddenly saw a billboard on the edge of the plaza. The sign read that the Wanjie Commerce invites all distinguished guests to their auction. Today, the Wanjie Commerce was going to hold a bloodline auction with a variety of bloodline auctions. As long as one was willing to pay the entry fee, they could enter the auction scene for bidding.

Qi Tian immediately remembered the encounter with Zhu Ziyan when he last visited Wanjie City, where he inadvertently overheard her conversation with her companion about this bloodline auction. At that time, Qi Tian was thinking about getting a ticket, but then he got so busy that he forgot about it. He didn’t expect to see news about the auction again. This must be destiny’s arrangement, urging him to participate.

Over this period, Qi Tian had experienced quite a few things and had been under constant stress. He’d been thinking about doing something to relax. Since he caught this auction, why not go and take a look?

Qi Tian casually called a carriage, then asked the driver to take him to the auction of Wanjie Auction House. The Wanjie Auction House was located in the safe zone of Wanjie City, where security was good. He didn’t have to worry about encountering any accidents. As long as one didn’t actively court death, generally no problems would occur.

The driver, familiar with the route, took Qi Tian to the auction. After collecting the fare, he left. Qi Tian got off the carriage and was immediately taken aback by the bustling scene.

In his previous life, Qi Tian had attended the concert of a music god. A stadium full of tens of thousands of people was enough to surprise him. However, compared to the current auction held by the Wanjie Commerce, it was nothing. Qi Tian didn’t know how many people had entered the Wanjie Commerce auction right now, but there were seventy to eighty thousand cultivators waiting outside alone.

Qi Tian marveled at how large the business of the Wanjie Commerce was. No wonder they could afford to advertise in the Teleportation Plaza. Even the advertising fee alone would be a significant expense.

After buying a ticket, Qi Tian followed the queue preparing to enter the venue. While in line, he looked around at the waiting cultivators out of boredom. Most of them were at the Qi Cultivation Period or the Foundation Establishment Stage, with quite a number at the Gold Core Stage. Within his sight, there were eighty at least, if not a hundred.

But these Gold Core Stage cultivators weren’t worth mentioning. Qi Tian saw a few cultivators whose aura was different from the Gold Core Stage. They only needed to stand somewhere to attract countless eyes. Those by their side didn’t dare to look at them directly, and even when they did, they wore an awe-stricken expression.

A thought popped into Qi Tian’s mind, were these people above the Gold Core Stage? Could they be the legendary Nascent Soul Stage?

Wanjie Commerce has a big setup indeed, allowing even Nascent Soul Stage land immortals to line up? From this detail, you could tell how abundant the underlying power of Wanjie Commerce was, and how attractive the bloodlines auctioned this time were.

Qi Tian shook his head secretly. He still had a long way to go in his cultivation journey. His current Foundation Establishment Stage realm was really nothing. He was just struggling at the bottom, with only a bit more ability to protect himself than in the Qi Cultivation Period.

Following the queue, Qi Tian walked slowly forward. The queue moved very quickly and orderly. In less than ten minutes, it was Qi Tian’s turn. After submitting his ticket, just as he was about to enter, a group of people walked from the side, one of them shouting, “Make way, make way.”

The ticket-checking staff immediately stopped Qi Tian and bowed to the group approaching, “Honored seniors, please enter.”

Qi Tian turned his head to see the crowd, and his heart pounded when he recognized one of the figures. It was none other than Huang Liuyan, who had left last time without saying goodbye. Qi Tian could clearly feel many changes in Huang Liuyan compared to the last time they parted. First of all, her temperament and aura were completely different, and the wave of energy coming from her was even stronger than that of Xiao Xiaowu, the Master of the Imperial Master Mansion. This was clearly a Gold Core Stage aura. After a few months, Huang Liuyan had successfully advanced to the Gold Core Stage, a reason to celebrate.

The second was that Huang Liuyan’s face was now emotionless and cold. Qi Tian remembered that when they were together, Huang Liuyan was very kind to him, like a big sister next door, but now, the big sister was gone, replaced by an iceberg.

Originally, Qi Tian wanted to greet Huang Liuyan when he recognized her, but immediately dropped the idea, seeing the changes in her. He didn’t want to cause trouble for himself or Huang Liuyan. At this time, pretending not to know Huang Liuyan was the best choice.

Qi Tian stepped aside and bowed his head in respect to the Gold Core Stage cultivator.

When Huang Liuyan and others had entered the Wanjie Commerce auction venue, a cultivator behind Qi Tian complained, “Who are they? Cutting the line.”

“You’re asking for trouble,” a companion next to him hurriedly covered his mouth and warned, “These are from the National Master Manor, one of the most powerful forces in Wanjie City. They’re not someone we can mess with.”

“Yeah, bro, watch your mouth. Even if they weren’t from the National Master Manor, we shouldn’t mess with them. Did you see that tall guy in the middle? That’s Cheng Daoran from the National Master Manor, who’s a Half-step Nascent Soul.”
