Chapter 415: Heavenly Abyss Pass
ng.Moreover, during their time in the cave dwelling, he had personally witnessed Qin Sang using his talisman to defend against the head-owl, knowing that the power of this talisman was nearly depleted...The Heavenly Spirit Pass.
One of the two major passes controlled by the magic sect forces, Tianyou Pass is not far from Yinshan Pass. Its topography is somewhat similar. The difference is that the city of Tianyou Pass is built on an island in a swamp, not on an ancient tree.
The Tianyou Pass gathers countless cultivators, especially now in this special situation. Many cultivators dare not leave the pass, so there are naturally many large and small auctions.
In a massive courtyard at the southeast corner of Heavenly Abyss Pass, the gates stood wide open. Two masked figures guarded either side, while shadowy figures in black robes frequently entered the courtyard.

Strangely, instead of going into the back room, they walked towards an octagonal pavilion in the courtyard.
The moment he stepped into the gazebo, his figure vanished.
If one's cultivation is profound, they can capture the glimmer of silver threads flashing in the gazebo within this instant. It is the fluctuation of a forbidden technique, revealing that there is another world within the gazebo.
As late into the night it became, fewer and fewer people entered the courtyard.

Just as two guards were about to close the gate, a figure hurried towards the courtyard.
The visitor wore a black robe that concealed their face, it was a magical artifact capable of shielding one's divine sense. One couldn't tell if it was male or female by sight, nor could they sense their cultivation level.
Two guards exchanged glances, and one stepped forward, raising his hand to stop the person approaching. "Friend, please wait!"
The newcomer stopped and looked around, asking in a puzzled voice: "Isn't the auction today"
The guard coughed lightly and explained, "The auction is indeed taking place today... To let you know, Master has decreed that guests attending the auction must undergo a qualification examination. I wonder if you have any credentials"
"Relic"
The visitor frowned and said, “Mr. Kan, I’ve heard about your auctions for a long time and have long admired your reputation. I’ve never heard that an auction requires tokens! Could it be that everyone who went in earlier had a token Are you trying to make things difficult for me”
The guard waved his hands, explaining repeatedly.
"No, no...
"
"Friend, please don't misunderstand. We ask this because our master has indeed issued tokens. Everyone who receives a token becomes a valued guest in our household..."
Of course, one can participate in the auction without any token, but as my master's reputation grows, more and more fellow cultivators come to attend the auctions.
"My master is honored by your presence, but unfortunately, limited space prevents me from adequately hosting all esteemed guests. This auction is particularly significant, featuring precious treasures of great importance. Many revered seniors who are rarely seen have also been drawn here."
Unable to bear it any longer, the master had no choice but to set a rule: those who wished to participate in the auction had to present one thousand lower-grade spirit stones or prove their cultivation had reached the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Of course, the treasures at the auction will definitely not disappoint fellow cultivators. Please understand this matter.
After hearing the explanation, the visitor's tone softened. He let out an "um" and released his cultivation, asking softly, "Is that all right"
Late stage of foundation building!

The guards' expressions changed slightly, they bowed deeply, and their voices became incredibly respectful. "Senior, you have graced us with your presence! Our humble shop has flourished thanks to your arrival! As a senior, you are automatically granted VIP status. Please, follow me to the VIP lounge. For any other needs, our shop will do everything in its power to satisfy you."

"No need!"
A visitor waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'm used to sitting in the hall and watching the excitement. It's boring to hide in the private room. Just take me directly to the hall. I heard that the auction will begin soon, time is running out, don't miss my big event."
"This..."
The guards looked at each other silently. One of them had to step forward and lead the way, guiding the newcomers into the pavilion.
Entering the pavilion, the scene before my eyes changed abruptly. I found myself in a beautifully decorated hall.
The hall was divided into three levels. On the first level, there were rows of seats. At this time, the place was bustling with noise, and most of the seats were occupied by cultivators. The lowest cultivation level among them was at least the tenth layer of the Qi Refining stage.
The second and third levels were very quiet. They were individual rooms, each with a cloud of gray mist in front of it. Looking up from the hall, one could only see a haze and nothing inside.
These mists are one of the effects of the spirit array in the hall.
Besides, on the walls surrounding the hall, golden sharp divine light flickered, exuding an aura of solemnity and vigilance, constantly reminding those attending the auction.

The guard was about to lead the newcomer to the front and sit down, but as soon as the newcomer glanced at him, he waved his hand and sat down directly in a inconspicuous corner at the back.

"Go on, tell your master Kan that there's no need to show any favoritism towards an old man like me. As long as the auction satisfies me, I will return in the future. There's no need for any tokens of assurance."
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
The guard, unable to do anything about it, could only attribute it to the elder's eccentricity and left.

Unbeknownst to him, the very seat he occupied afforded a panoramic view of the entire auction.
This is the end of a paragraph.
He sat quietly there, not interacting with anyone else. An aura of "stay away" emanated from him. His gaze swept silently over the cultivators in the hall, as if searching for something.
Finally, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and patiently waited for the auction to begin.
The time of the Child has arrived.
The auction has begun.

Mr. Kan was a refined middle-aged man. His words were gentle and brought a sense of spring to those who listened, making it no wonder he had such a reputation at Tianyou Pass.
Mr. Kan conducted himself with practiced ease and a touch of pedantry, dispensing with trivial matters in a few succinct sentences before announcing the commencement of the auction.
Immediately, precious treasures were sold off like flowing water.
Under Mr. Kan's unassuming guidance, the atmosphere at the auction became increasingly heated. Bids rose and fell, with treasures selling for high prices one after another.
Strangely, from the start of the auction, the person sitting in the corner kept leaning back in his chair, as if asleep, and these treasures couldn't arouse his interest at all.
Mr. Kan's gaze swept over the man, seemingly at random, but with an underlying intention. A flicker of doubt passed through his eyes.
He has already received reports from his subordinates and knows that this person's cultivation base is in the later stage of Foundation Establishment.
In the world of cultivation, the late stage of foundation building is already considered a high-ranking expert. Making friends with a late-stage foundation building expert would be beneficial to the auction house, and Mr. Kan naturally wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.
He is good at playing to people's desires, especially at auctions. Even the most cunning person cannot hide their excitement when they encounter something they desire.
But this person didn't even move a muscle, he wouldn't budge.
Could it be that these treasures are too commonplace, and this person comes from an extraordinary background, finding them unworthy of even a glance
Mr. Kan's hands were steady, and he conducted the auction in an orderly manner. As these thoughts raced through his mind, he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
If he had been in the past, he would have been helpless against such people.

But this time is different, the auction items that follow are truly some treasures worthy of the name, accumulated over many years by him, eagerly awaiting their moment to shine!
I wonder how long you can hide!
Mr. Kan retracted his gaze, no longer paying attention to the man. Just then, a crown was auctioned off at a high price, raising his voice and taking the opportunity to bring the atmosphere in the hall to another peak.g with incredible agility through the trees before quickly disappearing from the area.The mountains and forests returned to a profound silence.After a while, another figure quietly emerged from the de...
