Chapter 347: Auction House (2/2)

If it was just the environment they had to look out for, then he did not need to care too much. However, the Emperor had said that entrances to the realm would appear on other continents as well.

Many human cultivators were likely to enter the realm, one had to be beneath fifty to enter, but a human expert had the advantage of cultivating earlier than beasts, so a human genius of fifty had an advantage against a beast cultivator of forty.

These humans were also hard to kill, and they felt no reverence towards a sovereign beast. In fact, they saw them as immense treasures of resources.

So the biggest danger they would encounter in the Ascended's realm did not come from the environment; it came from others who were entering the realm alongside them.

Leaving the chambers, they found that an entire entourage was waiting or them outside.

The leader was a soldier, but not just any soldier, it was a general of the Vermilion Bird Army, an expert of the Earth Saint rank.

”Sir Xue, we have been given the honorable task of keeping yourself and your friends safe during the time before the Ascended's Realm opens.”

Tthe General said thoughtfully as he looked at Xue Wei with hidden curiosity in his eyes.

Even he, as a General, had heard all the rumors about this being in front of him.

The General was also a Vermilion Bird, and he was a full hundred and twenty-seven years old.

He could not enter the Ascended Realm, but his son was one of the geniuses who were entering, so he hoped to forge a relationship with Xue Wei and have him protecting his son.

”We are honored to be protected by an esteemed Earth Saint,” Xue Wei said smilingly, and the General had a favorable impression of him. ”It is my honor,” he said with a slight bow.

”We are going to town to purchase some ingredients for pills and inscriptions,” Xue Wei said after contemplating for a bit. ”We also want to see if there is an auction house with interesting items.”

”There is an auction house,” the General answered right away. ”The Auction house is having a monthly auction in three days from now.”

Xue Wei nodded his head. ”Let us head there and put a few things up for sale,” he said as he looked around, and his lips could not help but twitch slightly.

”Are we bringing a whole regiment with us?” he asked, and the general looked at the many soldiers who were standing outside the room, and even he felt it was a bit over the top.

”How many would you like to bring?” he asked, and Xue Wei shook his head dejectedly. ”Do we need to bring anyone else other than you?” he answered the question with a question of his own.

”I guess it is fine,” the General said after contemplating for a bit. Although the soldiers had benefits in numbers, he was an esteemed Earth Saint. He should be able to protect them.

Having decided not to bring the soldiers, many of the soldiers had depressed expressions on their faces.

They too, knew about Xue Wei and his abilities and wished to hear about him. They wanted to get closer to him.

But they all understood the value of an order. They were soldiers, so they would never go against an order. They had been told to wait here, so they would wait for him to return.

Sensing that they would not follow them, Xue Wei exited the palace with his friends and the General in tow.

There was a carriage waiting for them, but Xue Wei shook his head when he looked at it. ”We'll walk,” he said and began walking down towards the city that was spread out beneath the palace itself.

Everyone who looked at them could guess Xue Wei's identity, and many were discussing amongst themselves. He was indeed the subject of the capital.

Xue Wei strolled down the street and observed the things that were up for sale. He entered different shops and bought a few materials here and there.

The General was not sure about how many essence stones that Xue Wei had, but after seeing how he casually took out essence stones time and time again, he realized that this person was much richer than he had expected.

Xue Wei's background was unknown. He came from some continent far away that they knew almost nothing about.

Even so, he had not come from this continent, also as a nineteen-year-old, he had come from Yan Dalu and had been to now three continents. This was already exceptional. Usually, there were only a handful of people who could leave their continents, and when they did, they only went for one other continent, not two.

Xue Wei was utterly ignoring the curiosity everyone was showing him, and he continued to buy things, filling storage treasure after storage treasure.

They continued moving further down towards the center of town where a big building was located.

Even without asking anything, Xue Wei knew that this building was the auction house.

He could also guess that this auction house not only dealt with auctions but also sold items in everyday life.

Walking towards it, Xue Wei had decided to sell some of the items he had in hand. Some one-colored Rainbow Pills and some materials would be able to bring in some essence stones he could use to buy new materials needed for two-colored Rainbow Pills.

As they arrived, the guards who were outside the gates looked at Xue Wei's group with curiosity, but no one stepped forward to stop them. As long as no one made drama, they would not take action.

Even so, Xue Wei could feel that they, normal guards of this auction house, were all Earth Saints.
