Chapter 149: Unforeseen Circumstances (I)

Chen Yiming and Wan Ya entered the main hall again.

At this moment, all the martial artists who had been invited to the auction in East Lake City had already arrived. Each of them had brought a few young juniors with them.

The auction was not only an opportunity to compete for treasures, but also an opportunity to make friends and introduce the younger generation to each other.

The head of the Flowing Cloud Sword School, An Yuhong, stood close to Wan Rong, followed by a young woman.

The young woman had an innocent face and fair skin. Just by standing there, she attracted a lot of attention.

“Master Wan, I’m really envious of your ability to teach your disciples. This time, one of your young disciples became a warrior without any of us knowing,” An Yuhong said with a smile.

“As a master, I can only provide some guidance. The main thing is the disciple’s efforts,” Wan Rong said humbly.

This was the truth. Chen Yiming had even snatched the concept diagram of the Mantis Snake Sword Technique from Lin Yixuan. Before Wan Rong could give him any guidance, Chen Yiming had already broken through to the warrior realm.

“By the way, why don’t I see your genius disciple, Chen Yiming? Could it be that you are afraid that we might poach him and didn’t bring him over on purpose?” An Yuhong continued to tease him.

“How is that possible? It’s just that Master An came a little late. My disciple and daughter didn’t like the environment here and went outside to get some fresh air,” Wan Rong said truthfully.

An Yuhong was a little disappointed, but she returned to normal in the blink of an eye and continued to chat with Wan Rong about the topic of disciples.

The young woman behind her clenched her fists when she heard this unexpected news.

Chen Yiming wasn’t alone. Instead, he was with Wan Rong’s youngest daughter. This wasn’t the situation that her master had told her beforehand.

Chen Yiming and Wan Ya, who had returned to the main hall, found where Wan Rong was and walked over.

When An Yuhong saw him, she paused her conversation with Wan Rong and smiled.

Wan Rong glanced at An Yuhong and introduced her to Chen Yiming.

“This is the head of the Flowing Cloud Sword School, An Yuhong.”

Chen Yiming secretly sized her up.

Of course, Chen Yiming knew about the Flowing Cloud Sword School. He still remembered the scandal involving their disciple, Liu Qingqing, from when he first started practicing martial arts.

Before Chen Yiming could speak, An Yuhong pulled the young woman behind her to her side and smiled.

“This is my disciple, Shen Suping. You two are of similar age, so you can interact more in the future.”

“No problem,” Chen Yiming agreed.

He wanted to keep his options open. After all, even if Wan Rong was his master, Wan Rong’s first priority was still the Wan clan. His disciples could only be ranked second.

Wan Rong stood at the side with a calm expression, as if he didn’t care at all.

He didn’t object to An Yuhong forcefully introducing someone to Chen Yiming. This was normal, and everything stemmed from Chen Yiming’s performance in martial arts.

If Chen Yiming was still the young man who had undergone six transformations, An Yuhong wouldn’t have paid special attention to him, nor would she have taken the initiative to bring Chen Yiming and her female disciple together.

At this moment, an organizer walked onto the stage and announced the official start of the auction.

The invited guests headed to their respective seats. Chen Yiming, Wan Rong, and An Yuhong were no exception. The three of them didn’t continue chatting and went on their own ways.

As Chen Yiming was still a disciple of the Mantis Snake Sword School, his seat was arranged next to Wan Rong. Wan Ya was designated as a guest accompanying Wan Rong.

In the end, the three people sat side by side with Wan Ya on Chen Yiming’s left, and Wan Rong on his right.

After sitting down, Wan Rong noticed that something was amiss and smiled at Wan Ya. “Relax, there’s no need to think too much.”

Wan Ya nodded and forced a smile.

The reason was that Shen Suping’s appearance and Wan Rong’s attitude made her suddenly understand the current situation.

This was a deal between two warriors. She had no right to negotiate.

Wan Rong and Chen Yiming had probably discussed everything beforehand. In the end, it all depended on Chen Yiming’s decision.

After the guests were seated, the first treasure to be auctioned was placed in a glass box and brought to the hall on a cart.

Before the organizer could introduce it, the atmosphere had already been stirred up. The treasures collected by the warrior clans were enough to make people pay up for them.

“This is the Five Elements Heaven Trampling Steps, a footwork technique that leads straight to the warrior realm.”

As soon as the organizer finished speaking, the crowd could no longer control themselves and erupted into a noisy discussion.

The first item was already at the level of a finale item for other auctions.

This footwork technique that the Yue clan had collected had a complete concept diagram. Not only did it attract the attention of those who specialized in footwork, but it was also equally attractive to those in the warrior realm.

Wan Rong cast a glance at the troubled Wan Ya and said, “Yiming, many warriors usually specialize in an additional cultivation technique. Are you interested in footwork?”

“I’ll think about it when I reach a bottleneck in my swordsmanship,” Chen Yiming replied.

It was not that he was not interested, but that he had not added any talent in footwork. Therefore, it was not worth wasting his time on footwork.

“It’s very good that you can stay calm. Usually, because it’s difficult to improve on one’s main cultivation technique, one would use other cultivation techniques to make up for some of their shortcomings,” Wan Rong said with a smile.

The internal force cultivated from the first and second stages of the warrior realm was of a single attribute.

If one wanted to become more comprehensive in combat ability, one could only rely on cultivation techniques with different internal force attributes to make up for the difference when they were below the third stage of the warrior realm.

As long as it was not two internal forces with attributes that caused a serious conflict, one could have a primary force and a secondary force. One would have only a small portion of the secondary internal force, and it would not cause an imbalance in the internal forces.

Wan Rong used this rare opportunity to teach Chen Yiming some general knowledge about the warrior realm.

The two of them seemed to have forgotten that an auction was being held on the stage.

Chen Yiming nodded as he humbly received the guidance.

Previously, he had just been trying to get by. Although he was very strong, he was limited by his environment and did not know much common knowledge about this world.

Many of his previous guesses were confirmed by Wan Rong’s words.

This tipped the scales in his heart. A sect at the peak of the warrior realm like the Myriad Phenomena Sect would definitely have a lot of information that Chen Yiming needed.

Even if he could increase his talent, he should not become a boorish person who only had talent. After all, just because he had not made any missteps in his cultivation so far, it did not mean that he would not do so in the future.

Therefore, he realized that joining Myriad Phenomena Sect was not something he should dismiss lightly, even if he has to start out as an outer sect disciple.

Time passed quickly as he focused on his thoughts. Before he knew it, more than an hour had passed. Most of the treasures from the auction had been sold off.

It was time for the third last item.

“This is a porcelain bowl from an unknown source, and its use is unclear.”

The organizer waited for the porcelain bowl to be brought over before introducing it.

There were very few reactions from the audience. Most of them did not know much about bloodline warriors, so they did not think much of it.

“100 million!”

“200 million!”

“250 million!”

…

Although the porcelain bowl did not attract much attention, it was still the third last item to be auctioned. There were still bids placed on it continuously.

The bidders were basically all civilian martial artists from East Lake City. After the bid exceeded 200 million, the increase in the price quickly decreased.

“The secret of Yue Jingtian’s bloodline warrior might be in this porcelain bowl.”

Suddenly, a voice rang out, passing on the information to all the warriors who were participating in the auction.

“One billion!”

Immediately, someone raised the bid to more than one billion yuan.

“1.1 billion!”

Immediately, a higher bid followed.

…

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged as he sighed inwardly.

As expected, he should not have held onto any hope. Even if the bloodline warriors of the Yue clan were only an exception and there was no subsequent success, there would always be people who would harbor suspicions. It was just that there was no evidence.
