“It’s so outrageous, a thousand Spirit Coins just to participate in an auction—this is practically robbery!”

After stepping out of the grand entrance of Huihai Commerce Guild, the experience inside compelled Zhou Chun to spontaneously voice his complaint.

It was undoubtedly the most expensive entrance fee he had ever encountered.

Based on this price, he feared that just the collection of entrance fees alone could bring in tens to hundreds of millions of Spirit Coins.

This was way faster than robbing people of their money!

“Considering it’s an auction held only once every hundred years and ordinary third-tier Magic Artifacts aren’t even qualified to be auctioned, although the ticket is a bit pricey, it’s still somewhat acceptable,”

Zhou Daoyi seemed to be more open-minded and didn’t pay too much attention to this matter. He just waved his hand and said, “Let’s go. Since the package includes a courtyard, we needn’t spend money to find another place to stay. Let’s go there and settle in!”

The complimentary courtyard, of course, was nothing fancy.

Its location was in the most secluded area of the marketplace, tucked away at the end of a small street and alley, with just three rooms in size.

Fortunately, being a courtyard within Xiandu Marketplace, it still came equipped with a complete standalone warning and protection Array to ensure that passing Cultivators couldn’t just extend their Divine Sense and see inside.

Zhou Chun and the other two only planned to stay temporarily, so they weren’t too picky. They set up another layer of protective Array before they felt comfortable settling in.

During the subsequent month, none of them had the inclination to cultivate in seclusion at their residence, instead choosing to wander around Xiandu Marketplace.

It must be said that the prosperity of this place had its reasons.

Zhou Chun, looking to sell some items for Spirit Coins, visited many shops, each experience broadening his horizons tremendously.

For example, in Jingguo Country’s Lanzhou, if he wanted to purchase Elixirs that could enhance a Foundation Establishment Progression Phase Cultivator’s Mana, he often had to turn to underground auctions or the Underground Treasure Exchange Convention, or even public auctions.

But here in Xiandu Marketplace, many large stores sold such Elixirs, albeit at slightly higher prices.

Even Foundation Establishment Pills were claimed by some stores to be available for pre-order, with a guarantee of delivery within three years.

Of course, the price for such pre-orders was also quite high—ten thousand Spirit Coins each!

Moreover, when it came to Magic Artifacts, it was easy to purchase third-tier Artifacts in many large stores, let alone second-tier ones.

Some stores even accepted custom orders for Magic Artifacts, guaranteeing successful refinement with no charge if unsuccessful, though again, the price was very steep!

Other items like Talismans and Formations, the high-end products that could be purchased in Xiandu Marketplace, were significantly easier to obtain compared to Jingguo Country.

If the Cultivation World also had developed and less-developed areas, then Jingguo Country was undoubtedly among the less-developed ones.

If it were not for Zhou Chun’s current goal of gathering funds to purchase Spiritual Objects for opening his Purple Mansion, he would have been tempted to take advantage of the Xiandu Marketplace for a major shopping spree.

In his view, although many items here were sold at high prices, if they could be directly purchased with Spirit Coins, it was still bearable.

After all, many items were difficult to come by in Jingguo Country, even if one had the Spirit Coins.

Thanks to the flourishing commercial environment of Xiandu Marketplace, Zhou Chun managed to sell many of his rare and precious Spiritual Objects at very good prices.

It should be noted that financing Lin Hongyu’s Core Formation had drained Zhou Family’s liquid funds, and such a large family, of course, could not afford to exhaust its working capital.

Therefore, during this trip to Great Zhou Kingdom, Zhou Chun brought a good number of precious Spiritual Objects stored by his family, planning to sell them for Spirit Coins to replenish the family’s liquid funds.

Among these were items like the Spirit Spice of the Fragrant Musk Deer capable of expelling Evil Qi, the “Soul Washing Spirit Water” produced by the Soul Washing Water Monster from Dragon Abyss Marsh, and many strange treasures obtained from the Wasteland Territory and Dragon Abyss Marsh.

Such rare Spiritual Objects typically had no trouble being sold once put on the market.

While Xiandu Marketplace was rich in treasures, the supply of such rare Spiritual Objects was still in high demand and difficult to procure.

Hence, Zhou Chun not only sold his items effortlessly but also at prices far beyond his initially anticipated range.

What he dared not let Lin Hongyu know was that he now held more than two hundred thousand Spirit Coins in his hands!

He had a great deal to thank his Dao Companion for.

When Su Yuzhen heard that he needed to borrow Spirit Coins to purchase Spiritual Objects for opening his Purple Mansion, she instantly handed over all her Spirit Coins without a second thought.

The Su Family of Jiangzhou was a Golden Core family lineage that always generously distributed Spirit Coins as welfare to Clan Members, and being a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, Su Yuzhen received an annual welfare of five hundred Spirit Coins from her family alone.

And she hardly had any need to spend these Spirit Coins.

Thus, she alone lent Zhou Chun over forty-seven thousand Spirit Coins!

Time flew by, and quickly a month passed.

On the day the grand auction was to commence, Zhou Chun and the other two arrived at the auction site early.

The auction site was located behind Huihai Commerce Guild where they had bought the token of credentials, resembling a circular stone structure similar to a Beast Fighting Arena, only much smaller in size and with far fewer seating stands.

After verifying their token of credentials, they were guided to a stone chamber on the lower level of the auction site.

The door plate of the chamber bore the number “57”, indicating their booth number.

The space inside was not large; seating six or seven people would make it feel crowded.
