Chapter 80 - First Meeting of the Spirit Masters

"What's that?" Ye Yang pointed at a tall building.

It was a five story tall tower. Although it only had five floors, every floor was at least ten zhang tall and took up a lot of land.

"That's the Inscription Tower, the place where Inscription Master works." Wu Youlan said with some yearning.

"Didn't you say that our empire only has five Inscription Master s? How can such a huge building be used? " Ye Yang questioned.

"Not five!" Wu Youlan rolled her eyes at Ye Yang. "From today onwards, there will only be four!"

"Cough cough, oh, okay, there are four of them. Why do you need them in such a big way?" Ye Yang awkwardly coughed and said.

When he was inscripting the inscription, there was only such a small quiet room. Was there really a need to use such a large amount of inscriptions?

"The position of the Inscription Master is respected, this tower was built for them alone. The five floors each have one floor, and this floor is divided into a laboratory, a guest room, a resting area, a storage room, and so on."

"Furthermore, each Inscription Master will be equipped with a dozen personal maids, dozens of apprentices, and more than a hundred guards. If you don't cultivate, how can you live without such a large cultivation base?"

Damn, he's so awesome. I didn't expect that the guy I turned into an idiot would get such good treatment.

This fellow is really an idiot. You have such a good golden rice bowl, why are you provoking me?

If I don't turn you into an idiot, you will turn into an idiot sooner or later.

While he was deep in thought, the door to the third floor opened and a figure floated down.

Wu Youlan was immediately shocked. Just as she was about to pull Ye Yang away, that figure was clearly rushing towards the two of them and directly flew in front of them.

Ye Yang was obviously shocked because he saw that the person didn't have wings and he wasn't a king level expert.

However, what made Ye Yang even more surprised was that this person was actually standing on a sword and floating in midair.

Damn, could it be that this person could fly on a sword?

The person who came was an old man of about fifty years of age. He had a long beard and had the bearing of a immortal.

However, he had a pair of triangular eyes, with his nose to the sky, and his buck teeth pointing to the ground.

The person looked at Ye Yang with a dark expression and said, "You're Ye Yang?"

When Wu Youlan saw who it was, she immediately cursed in her heart and quickly said, "Senior, we —"

"Shut up, how dare you interrupt this old man's question!" The man shouted loudly, following his shout, an invisible force instantly pressured Wu Youlan, causing him to be unable to breathe properly, his face paled and he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.

With a flash of Ye Yang's body, he blocked the old man's might. Wu Youlan's entire body instantly relaxed as he saw Ye Yang's slightly thin figure appear so grand at that moment.

Ye Yang also felt the pressure, but for someone like him who had just passed Nine Underworld Heaven Stairway, this was nothing.

Tilting his head, he said, "Old man, I'm Ye Yang. What business do you have with me?"

Seeing that Ye Yang wasn't affected in the slightest by his aura and his speech was as usual, he was secretly shocked in his heart.

"Did you turn Li Cang into an idiot?"

Today, this old man was drinking wine and having fun inside the pagoda when he suddenly heard that his disciple had been turned into an idiot by someone. He was immediately enraged.

Just as he was about to go find the murderer to avenge his disciple, the Emperor suddenly ordered him not to interfere in this matter. This made him even angrier.

He didn't dare to disobey the emperor's orders. While he was still in a state of anxiety, someone reported that the murderer was downstairs. That was why he came down in a fit of rage.

Ye Yang looked at the old man with slanted eyes and asked, "Who said that? Is there any evidence? "

"Impudent, so many hundreds of people present saw it. After you looked at Li Cang for a while, Li Cang's divine soul was injured, and he became an idiot," the old man said angrily.

"Then I've already looked at you a few times, why haven't you changed into an idiot?" Ye Yang asked.

"Good, good, good!" The old man was so angry that he started laughing, "You dare to be so arrogant at such a young age, reporting your master's sect. Today, this old man will teach you a lesson on behalf of your family's elders!"

"Teach me? "You're not qualified. Young master, I'm just a student of the Tianwu Academy. You don't need to find out my backing. If you want to make a move, you can come right now," coldly said Ye Yang.

"You … You're simply too arrogant. If you were in the academy, I would really be helpless against you. But right now, I'll let you know just how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is!"

With that, the old man formed a seal with his right hand. As the old man formed the seal, all of the spiritual energy in the surrounding 100 feet was sucked out, forming the image of a sword that descended toward Ye Yang.

He saw the shadow of the long sword come slashing over with a tyrannical momentum, just like a real sword.

Ye Yang did not dare to be negligent, he extended his hand and pushed Wu Youlan outwards, the long spear in his hand flying towards "Gale Sting".

Bang.

As the two forces clashed, Ye Yang groaned and was forced five to six steps back.

One must know that Ye Yang's attack was able to heavily injure a martial general. Although his talent was poor and he had just entered the Martial General Realm, it still wasn't something that a martial master could compare to.

No wonder it was called unrivalled among those of the same cultivation level, spiritualist was indeed powerful. Ye Yang couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, the aura throughout his body changed, and an intense fighting spirit ignited in him.

The old man was even more shocked than Ye Yang. He circulated all of his strength in that one attack because he had already heard that Ye Yang defeated a martial general with one strike.

Thus, he attacked with his full strength, hoping to injure Ye Yang in one blow. This would save him some face. He never thought that even though Ye Yang was forced back a few steps, he didn't seem to be injured in the slightest.

Seeing Ye Yang's fighting spirit staring at him, the old man immediately complained in his heart. His years of debauchery had already hollowed out his body, and his spirit was severely weakened.

He could not even make two attacks like the one he had just made. He was about to use up all of his spiritual power.

Looking for Ye Yang today, on one hand, is for his disciple to stand up. After all, his disciple has been crippled, and his master doesn't even dare to speak. Doesn't that mean he's afraid of the royal family?

On the other hand, he wanted to prove to others that he wasn't old and that no one could bully him.

However, he couldn't really kill Ye Yang. He could only hope to injure Ye Yang and force Ye Yang to speak a few soft words. It would be fine if he could preserve his dignity, but at least he wouldn't lose too much face in front of the other Inscription Master.

Unfortunately, everything was completely different from what he expected. Now that Ye Yang's fiery gaze was fixated on him, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

He wanted to say a few soft words, but he couldn't bring his face down. He could only brace himself and float on in the air.

While he was stuck in a dilemma, a figure suddenly appeared in the air and coldly said, "You are not allowed to fight in private in this important area of the imperial city!"

The person who came was a middle-aged man who was around forty years old. The Zhen Qi wings on his back proved that he was a king level expert.

He was dressed in silk clothing and had a token hanging from his waist with the word "Imperial" written on it.

"Hmph, brat, you can consider yourself lucky today. Hopefully, you won't be seen by this old man the next time!" The old man immediately rejoiced. However, on the surface, he spoke with an unwilling and furious voice.

Ye Yang curled his lips and did not say anything as he kept his spear.

Seeing that both sides had stopped fighting, that person turned around and left.

Wu Youlan had just recovered her composure, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes as she watched the old man leave.

Ye Yang patted his body and said with a smile, "Alright, that old fart has already left. Let's continue strolling around."

Wu Youlan shook her head when she heard this. Just what is Ye Yang's mental state made of to actually be so thick?

It was as if there was nothing in this world that could make him worry. No matter what, it was a small matter in his eyes that could not affect his mood in the slightest.

The two of them continued to stroll around the imperial city. Ye Yang bought many sweets and snacks, which made Wu Youlan very surprised.

Ye Yang explained that his cousin really likes to eat snacks. Before, her family was poor, so she didn't have the luxury of having a spatial ring.

Having been in the academy for such a long time, he had already finished his snacks. He was probably in the middle of cutting off food. This time, he had come out to purchase more, so he could bring them back to his cousin.

Wu Youlan never thought that the thick-headed Ye Yang would have such a meticulous side.

Ye Yang bought two whole bags of snacks. Wu Youlan estimated that they weighed at least two hundred kilograms before completing the purchase.

Ye Yang saw a strange building in the distance. It was circular in shape and took up several miles.

A lot of people were continuously entering, Ye Yang curiously asked Wu Youlan.

Wu Youlan informed Ye Yang that it was the biggest auction house in Tianwu Empire, the Galo Auction House.

Today was Galo Auction House's monthly grand auction. The Galo Auction House was very famous, the owner was very mysterious, no one knew of his origins.

They often found many treasures through various channels, including cultivation techniques, battle skills, weapons and armors, heavenly and earthly treasures, and even ancient secret manuals that had been auctioned off before.

Hearing that, Ye Yang's eyes lit up, and brought Wu Youlan to buy a ticket to enter the infield, but the private rooms had already been reserved, so Ye Yang could only spend a bit more gold and find a quiet place to sit.

When he entered the inner court, he found that the seats that could accommodate tens of thousands of people had already been filled.

The moment Ye Yang and Wu Youlan found their seats, the auction had already begun.

"Thank you very much for coming to the monthly Garo auction. I am Luther, the chief auctioneer here. I realized that most of the people here are regular customers, so I won't waste your time and will directly go to the main topic."

The auctioneer's voice rang out, and the originally noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

The round platform within a circumference of a thousand feet was inlaid with countless Night Light Stones, allowing the audience to clearly see every detail of every item on the platform.

"The first auction item will be displayed next!" Following the auctioneer's words, two beautiful female attendants pushed up a round table that was covered by a red cloth. No one could tell what was inside.

He lifted up the red cloth and a glittering blade appeared before everyone's eyes.

"The first item is the treasured artifact, the Blue Peak Saber, which has a 'sharp' effect. It is easy to cut metal and break jade!"

The auctioneer's face was filled with fanaticism, "The starting price is one hundred thousand gold coins, each increase must be at least ten thousand gold coins."

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

Ye Yang also sighed inwardly. This really is a big deal. If the first auction item is a treasure, then the next auction item will be even more extraordinary.

After a fiery bidding war, a man bid two hundred thirty thousand gold coins on the treasured blade.

When the second item was brought up on stage, Ye Yang's expression turned ugly.
