Three days later, in the morning, Huangfu Fang City.
Today was the day when the two major auction houses opened. Before Tan Yun even entered Fang City, he saw disciples from the nine major veins continuously entering through the city gates.
Last time, Tan Yun had weak strength and entered disguised with mud on his face, but now, having the ability to deploy the heart of primordial chaos god-slaying sword formation, primordial flame, and primordial ice flame, he confidently walked through the city gates and stepped into the bustling shop street of Fang City, heading straight for the two major auction houses.
However, the ten law enforcement disciples looked at Tan Yun's back with fierce glints in their eyes.
The leader among them, a disciple who had achieved the great perfection of the fetal soul realm, Dong Liang, gloomily said to the nine others, "You continue to guard the city gate; I'll follow him."
"Yes, Brother Dong!" The nine immediately bowed, showing they followed Dong Liang's lead.
Dong Liang was ranked sixth among the ten thousand law enforcement disciples in the inner sect and was favored by Qiu Yongming.
Seeing Tan Yun today, Dong Liang thought it was a heavenly opportunity and that his day of merit had come!
"Currently, the Elder Law Enforcement is personally leading a thousand law enforcement disciples to track down the killer of Young Master Qiu using soul sniffing beasts. If I can take Tan Yun's head today, it will be avenging the outer sect Elder Law Enforcement! At that time, the Elder Law Enforcement will surely reward me greatly!"
Suppressing his inner excitement, Dong Liang stepped on his flying sword, following Tan Yun from a distance...
After a while, Tan Yun landed with his flying sword on the street between the two major auction houses. He glanced at the time; there was still half an hour until Huangfu Shengxing auction began.
There were still four hours until the opening of the Treasures Gathering Auction House.
Both auction houses held auctions once a month, with each auction lasting a maximum of three hours.
After the Huangfu Shengxing auction ended, the Treasures Gathering Auction House would begin.
Tan Yun intentionally arrived half an hour early, naturally to view the reward boards of the two major auction houses.
Outside the two auction houses, there were towering walls with huge screens displaying various reward tasks, showcasing a wide range of tasks with varying prices.
The reward tasks were divided into two main categories.
First, the two auction houses clearly knew what items were scarce and issued rewards, utilizing the power of the inner sect to search.
The providers of the auction house rewards would receive 80% of the spirit stones after the auction ended, with the remaining 20% taken by the auction house.
Second, within the Huangfu Sacred Sect, whether disciples or elders, anyone could spend varying amounts of spirit stones to publish the items they needed on the reward screen. Once someone provided the goods, transactions would occur under the witness of the two major auction houses for fairness.
Of course, the auction houses would take 10% of the total transaction amount in spirit stones.
Similarly, both parties could transact directly, but incidents of killing and stealing treasures occasionally happened. Almost no one would refrain from involving the auction house for notarization over a mere 10% of spirit stones.
At this moment, under the reward screens of the two major auction houses, tens of thousands of disciples had gathered, all staring with closed eyes, manipulating their spiritual sense to penetrate the reward screens.
As their spiritual sense entered the reward screen, six categories of reward tasks appeared in their minds: refining tools, alchemical refinement, refining formations, and talisman refining, which were further divided into magic treasures, elixirs, formations, symbols, and the various materials needed for refining.
The fifth category included rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures that had a market but lacked a price.
