Chapter 98: Chapter 98 Cloud Saint Auction
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“A spiritual sword? Pawning it for only a hundred Grade Three beast crystals?”
Zong Shou was startled, and muttered, “This auction house really turned so much profit!”
Chuxue nodded her head in agreement. The crafting of a spiritual sword was many times harder than that of a talisman sword. The materials used were often rare and precious.
Even the worst Spiritual Weapons would exceed the price of the Lightning Tooth Sword in his hands tenfold. It was a market with no supply, sometimes even with money one wouldn’t be able to purchase it… something like the situation that they were facing now.
After feeling emotional about it for a while, Zong Shou felt that the Lightning Tooth Sword he was joyous about moments ago was a little too weak in hindsight.
He had instructed Yin Yang to search for top Grade talisman swords because he had learned a secret technique to nourish the sword. Combined with his unique sword washing technique and Little Gold, it could allow a talisman weapon have part of a Spiritual Weapon’s ability.
He didn’t think that there would be such a surprise within Cloud Saint City.
Tying the sword in his hand to his waist, Zong Shou’s eyes shone brightly. In a short moment, he decided, “Forget it, it’s so boring staying here. Let’s go to the streets to look around!” 1
Chuxue blinked her eyes in surprise, but didn’t disagree.
She knew that with Zong Shou’s current ability, as long as he was within Cloud Saint City there would definitely be no one who could harm him!
Since he could kill Xiantian masters when he was at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, now that he was at the Out of Body Realm he naturally didn’t fear them at all.

The auction house was located at the west of the city, in a tea house by the river.
It wasn’t as professional as in the future, where auction houses stood in great numbers. The current method would be to invite all the nobles and rich people within the city after it had stored up enough items in its treasury, gathering them all in one spot to auction off.
Before Zong Shou rushed over, he paid a visit to the weapon shop that custom made talisman knives. The fifty Cloud Pattern talisman knives weren’t completed yet,
However, he didn’t come over here to obtain the knives. He drew many different parts and placed his order here.
It was another external bone, but different from the Wind Travelling Spirit Bone from before. The former only needed some soul power to be used. It could only be used to walk and if one’s energy was high, he could walk several days and nights without problems. The weakness would be that it couldn’t be used in fights, and its personal strength wasn’t that high.
The one Zong Shou was making now was an external bone that could be said to be at the introductory level. Not only was it not easy to break, it could increase to up to 2500 kilograms of strength. Naturally, the soul power it needed was tens of times higher than before.
Due to that Wind Travelling Spirit Bone being destroyed halfway the last time, Zong Shou ordered two sets, as well as some crucial parts so that he could change them.
The crafting of it wasn’t a difficult matter and was similar to making middle Grade talisman weapons. Coincidentally, the date it would be ready was the same as the talisman knives.

When Zong Shou rushed to that tea house. The place was really exquisite, located at the bank of the river, the scenery was beautiful, adding a few points of elegance.
Near the tea house were rows and rows of armed warriors guarding nearby. They were all well-built brutes, Martial Masters above Grade Four, their killing intent boiling.
He could roughly feel the auras of a dozen Xiantian experts around him, surprising him. Did such a spirit weapon need such a large formation? Or were there other important items that were being auctioned off? 1
Heart filled with disbelief, he still stepped into the tea house. His attire was really luxurious and those guards didn’t bother to stop him.
The tea house was already filled with people. However, Yin Yang had booked a suite on the second floor. Who knows if it because this auction house knew about their status, or if it was because of their relationship with the Cloud Saint City City Lord.
When they met, Yin Yang frowned in worry. “Although this place is within the city, it is really chaotic. Even if the city has planned for your protection, there might be accidents. Why did Young Master take the risk?”
Zong Shou took a look at Chuxue, the latter scratching her face in embarrassment, knowing that she probably didn’t tell Yin Yang about this matter.
As for that Cloud Saint City Lord, he could see that the man didn’t have any intentions of making connections or forming any relationship with him. As a lord of the city he was out on a journey and wasn’t within the city for several days, how was that possible?”
He probably only agreed to take care of him because of Lei Dong! Since he was not willing to meet him, then Zong Shou wasn’t that thick-skinned to shove himself over. The current situation was for the best.
There were many eyes and ears in this place and it wasn’t the right time for him to explain to Yin Yang. Zong Shou smiled as he rubbed the tip of his nose, sitting down in the suite without saying anything.
Opening the shutter, they entered a room that could look down into the tea house. Just as Zong Shou sat down, a confused look gazed over at him.
Zong Shou was also startled, recognizing a person who stood outside in the corridor. This person was Zong Ling.
His expression turned thoughtful. “Cousin actually has the mood to come over at such a time. It seems like these few days you have been having a lot of fun in Cloud Saint City.”
Feng Xiao was there beside him, but he didn’t make a sound. His expression was solemn, shifting like the clouds as he looked at Yin Yang, who had entered the Xiantian Realm.
Zong Shou was still sighing in his heart. Why were these two people like dog skin plasters? They were so sticky, for him to see them wherever he went…
He heard a light scoff, “You really think that this small Cloud Saint City Lord can protect you? There are numerous experts in Donglin Cloud Continent. Even east of it, there are four powers who are stronger than Cloud Saint City. But do you know that the Purple Lightning Spear under seventh brother Zong Yang has already come over personally?”
While Zong Ling spoke, his eyes looked towards another side. Zong Shou followed suit, seeing a man dressed in a gold cotton dress who was sitting cross-legged in another suite. His back was straight like a spear, his posture so perfect that one couldn’t find anything wrong with it.
He was around twenty years old and his face had the handsomeness that came from the Sky Fox bloodline. He was really cold, and beside him was a spear wrapped up in cloth.
He glanced expressionlessly at Zong Shou before turning away, like he was totally uninterested.
Although there were two other Xiantian Masters beside him, they were hidden beneath his cover and hard to notice.
Zong Shou’s brow furrowed. After obtaining the thirteen years of memory, he roughly knew the situation in Gantian Mountain.
He had a rough impression of this person. He was said to be a member of the Sky Fox Zong Family, the most outstanding person out of all the side branch disciples.
He was recruited by Zong Yang’s branch and was truly loyal towards him. In the past, Zong Weiran also felt regret over him, personally calling him a genius in front of him. Not only regretting that he couldn’t work for him, but also sympathizing that even with talents no weaker than the main branch, he was destined to be other people’s pawn.
“The power of the martial path? Not bad!” Squinting, Zong Shou roughly knew that this person’s ability was at the peak of Xiantian Master, three meridians of the Earth chakra level.
What he cared about more was that the appearance of this Purple Lightning Spear meant that a change had occurred in Gantian Mountain.
In the next moment he heard Zong Ling scoff coldly, “Cousin, you truly are fortunate…”
