Chapter 418: Show of Authority

Zi Che Shi and the others also knew that since she entered the Sect, she had basically been in Seclusion or was completing missions, so it was normal not to know about Tian’yuan City.

“Tian’yuan City will hold a large-scale auction every five years.
This time it’s not yet time for the auction, but because the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition is arranged earlier, the time has also been changed.”

“Is Tian’yuan City a place we pass when going to Heavenly Secret Palace?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

Di Shi Tian explained: “Heavenly Secret Palace established their Sect in the river not far from Tian’yuan City but although Tian’yuan City is relatively close to Heavenly Secret Palace, it’s a city where Major Sects and top forces of the Continent are concentrated.”

“Tian’uan City is also the largest trading city on Tian Ling Continent.
The City Lord is a Sword Deity level powerhouse, so even if the Six Major Sects and the top forces want to share a piece of the pie, they need to pay a price.” Yin Hong added.

Lou Mu Yan pondered.
“Is the Tian’yuan City Auction hosted by the City Lord’s Mansion? Or the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance?”

“Although the Ming Chamber of Commerce Alliance is the largest chamber of commerce on Tian’ling Continent, but it’s still not comparable to the power of the City Lord’s Mansion in Tian’yuan City.
Therefore, the Tian’yuan Auction is organised by the City Lord’s Mansion and is divided into two levels of auctions.

“The first type, as long as Sword Masters are above Sword Monarch, they can participate.
The second required cultivation base Sword Venerable or above.” Zi Che Shi said.

Lou Mu Yan nodded, “Do you have the auction item handbook for the auction?”

“No.
The auction in Tian’yuan City has always been very mysterious and there have never been any rumours released of the finale product before, but it instead attracts many Sword Masters to participate.” Di Shi Tian said.

“There’s such a huge auction, I naturally won’t miss it.” Lou Mu Yan smiled, “Thank you Senior Brothers for telling me today.”

“It’s fine, we all have a good relationship within the newly promoted pupils of the Inner Sect so we can interact more in the future.” Yin Hong smiled and expressed his desire to have a good relationship with Lou Mu Yan.

The ‘hopes’ from the various Schools were very dissatisfied and contemptuous of Lou Mu Yan.
Only those who bad fought against her knew that her strength wasn’t as ‘weak’ as she appeared, and was no worse than those ‘hopes’.

Her temperament was unbridled and carefree, and she also wasn’t arrogant, so they always felt very relaxed when they interacted with her.

“Sure! As long as Senior Brothers don’t dislike it, just come and drink some tea with me.” The character of these three people weren’t bad, so she could build a relationship with them.

“Haha, Junior Sister’s Spiritual Tea is a good thing, we will definitely come here often for some.” Zi Che Shi laughed heartily.

The three of them drank a few more cup of Spiritual Tea and exchanged some news then left the room.

After the three left, Mo Yan picked up a cup of the Honey Tea that Lou Mu Yan specially brewed for him and took a sip as he said with a slightly gloating tone: “There are many people who don’t like you.”

“It’s not like I’m a Heaven Rank Spiritual Item, naturally I won’t be liked by everyone.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him.

“There may be a lot of gains in this Tian’yuan Auction.
You can refine more pills to exchange for Spiritual Stones.” Mo Yan’s calm black eyes were filled with a smile.

Lou Mu Yan glared at him, “I’ve refined so many pills but all of them have entered all your mouths, how prodigal!”

Right now her several Spirit Pets weren’t easy masters to serve.
Unless it was Grade 4 pills they wouldn’t eat it—they’ve eaten her poor.

“If we eat more pills, our cultivation base will improve faster, and doesn’t it ultimately benefit you.” Mo Yan said with not quite a smile.

“Sure! Then if you can’t win the championship of the Taming Competition in the Grand Competition of the Sects.
Then don’t even think about eating another pill in the future.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and said.

Bing Ji stretched out his small head from the teacup and said arrogantly: “Little Owner, don’t worry, those rubbish Spirit Pets are also qualified to be compared to us? Come one, beat one, come a pair, kill a pair.”

“…” The corners of Lou Mu Yan’s lips twitched.
This stinky bird was just nonsensical, “You can continue to boast, I’m not the only one who has high-level Spirit Pets.
I heard the Spirit Tamers Sect even has a Kun Peng1 Divine Beast in the Sect.
That’s a Divine Beast with a bloodline even purer than yours.
If you have the balls, go beat it up.”

“Cough cough…” Bing Ji’s small eyes narrowed as he smiled: “Wait until after I advance to Tier 10, then I’ll go to the Spirit Tamers Sect to beat it up.”

“I think you don’t have any specialties besides bragging.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t want to talk to this stinky bird anymore and she didn’t know why she even accepted such a fool in the first place.

“That’s not right Owner, Bing Ji’s most powerful specialty actually isn’t bragging.” Miao Miao, who transformed into a young, tender little girl, giggled while sitting in Lou Mu Yan’s lap.

Xue Xue who was transformed into a little boy said: “I know, Bing Ji’s most powerful specialty is flattering.”

“You’ve discovered the truth!” Lou Mu Yan couldn’t help but laugh.
Although the stinky bird was a little stupid, but he was also their fun.

Bing Ji’s expression darkened, then he huffed: “You two haven’t even grown all your hair, what do you know.”

Lou Mu Yan looked cheerfully at the Spirit Pets gathered together quarrelling.

Not long after, the voice of Huo Ling Long was transmitted into her Sea of Consciousness.

“Little girl, come to my room.”

Lou Mu Yan was stunned for a bit, then left the Spirit Pets in the room and only took Mo Yan out with her.

When she walked to Huo Ling Long’s room.
She knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door was a beautiful woman with a cold expression.

The woman gave her a cold look, then turned around and stood beside Huo Ling Long.

“Headmaster, you’re looking for me?” Lou Mu Yan retrieved her gaze from the woman and looked at Huo Ling Long.

Huo Ling Long’s enchanting red dress enveloped her exquisite figure, filled with charm.

She leaned her chin on a fist lazily and hooked her finger: “Come sit here.”

The man and woman standing beside her were slightly surprised when they herd Huo Ling Long’s words, but they quickly concealed their expressions.

Lou Mu Yan wasn’t polite either, walked over and sat opposite her.
She blinked and said: “Headmaster is becoming more and more beautiful!”

“Giggle…” Huo Ling Long’s sweet voice poured out, “Little girl’s mouth is sweet, even if I become more and more beautiful, it’s inseparable to your Beauty Enhancing Pill.”

After taking the Beauty Enhancing Pill, the wrinkles that originally appeared at the corners of her eyes gradually faded and her entire person appeared ten years younger with a brilliant radiance.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and said: “Won’t Headmaster introduce Senior Brother and Senior Sister?”

She had roughly guessed the reason why Huo Ling Long called her here today.
On the surface, the two of them weren’t hostile to her.

“You cunning little girl.” Huo Ling Long gave Lou Mu Yan a charming look and said: “The two of them are my Direct Disciples, and they’ve been cultivating with me since they were three years old.”

She pointed to the clean, handsome man on the left and said: “His name is Jian Yang.”

Then she looked at the cold and distant woman on the right and introduced: “She’s Han Xin.”

“Senior Brother Jian, Senior Sister Han.” Lou Mu Yan greeted the two of them.

The two nodded to her, “Greetings, Junior Sister!”

“I’ve long heard that Junior Sister’s talent in talismans is very good, I wonder if I can see it today?” Jian Yang asked Lou Mu Yan with a meaningful smile.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled softly: “Why not?”

Did Huo Ling Long want her to use her strength to convince the two of them to acknowledge her?

But this Senior Brother seemed to be unable to wait to give her a show of authority as soon as they meet!

1kun peng is a ginormous divine beast in Chinese mythology said to be two kinds of things, the ‘kun’ that’s the fish that transforms into the ‘peng’, a bird.
