Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 733: Thousand Wind Trading House

The next day, early morning.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes amid a burst of noise.

He had been cross-legged in meditation all night.

"Knock knock." The vigorous knocking made Xiao Yi frown.

"What is it?" Xiao Yi got up, opened the door, and asked.

Outside the room stood the innkeeper and a clerk.

"Young Master, are you alright?" The innkeeper and clerk visibly relaxed.

"What, should something be wrong with me?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.

The innkeeper, looking secretive, moved closer to Xiao Yi and whispered, "Young Master, did you sleep very soundly last night?"

"Next door, a group of Martial Artists from Gale Sect were wiped out."

"I don’t know who could do such a cruel thing."

The clerk joked aside, "I guess the Young Master slept like a pig, luckily escaping with his life."

"What are you saying?" the innkeeper glared at the clerk.

Realizing his mistake, the clerk repeatedly apologized to Xiao Yi.

The innkeeper took a deep breath and said, "It’s good that the Young Master is unharmed."

"Since the Young Master was frightened for no reason at our inn, I am truly sorry. Your expenses at our inn will be waived from now on."

"There’s no need for that. It’s a minor matter," Xiao Yi said lightly, shaking his head.

The innkeeper apologized, "This humble old man has prepared a modest banquet as an apology to the Young Master."

With such hospitality from the innkeeper, Xiao Yi was too lazy to refuse.

As it happened, he planned to stroll around Thousand Wind City.

Upon entering the outer hall of the inn, Xiao Yi casually sat down at a table.

Before long, the clerk enthusiastically brought over wine and dishes.

Xiao Yi lightly tasted a few bites.

Nearby, other guests were talking.

"Hurry up and eat. Thousand Wind Trading House has an auction today."

"I heard that Thousand Wind Trading House really went all out this time, attracting major forces from surrounding counties and even other kingdoms."

"Let’s finish quickly and head over. It will be an eye-opener."

"..."

"Thousand Wind Trading House," Xiao Yi mumbled to himself.

Just then, the innkeeper passed by, interestedly looking at Xiao Yi, "Young Master, are you interested in the auction at Thousand Wind Trading House?"

"Yes," Xiao Yi nodded.

"Hehe," the innkeeper chuckled, "That’s no ordinary auction."

"Ordinary people can’t even get in, let alone buy the treasures sold there."

"Most people go just to enjoy the spectacle."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi slightly puzzled.

"Hehe," the innkeeper laughed, "This humble old man has been in Thousand Wind City for a long time."

"The Thousand Wind Conference held every five years always attracts countless forces and Martial Artists."

"Hence, the auction at Thousand Wind Trading House also occurs every five years."

"This humble old man has witnessed countless auctions here."

Xiao Yi nodded.

After the meal, Xiao Yi left the inn.

Thousand Wind Trading House, the largest trading company in Thousand Wind City, is second to none in the entire Kingdom of Thousand Wind.

Xiao Yi specifically stayed in the Kingdom of Thousand Wind.

First, to see the Thousand Wind Conference, and second, to buy some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and materials.

Naturally, he now headed to Thousand Wind Trading House.

Before long, he arrived at Thousand Wind Trading House.

Xiao Yi looked at the splendidly magnificent building and nodded.

Thousand Wind Trading House had a reputation that far surpassed that of Gale Trading Company in the entire Wind Saint Territory.

Such a large trading company was bound to have good finds.

However, as soon as Xiao Yi walked into the trading company,

two guards at the entrance stopped him.

"Young Master, today our Thousand Wind Trading House is hosting a grand auction."

"Thus, we are not receiving ordinary guests today."

"Do you have an invitation?"

"An invitation is required?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Upon seeing this, the two guards’ faces immediately turned cold, "Before the auction begins, our Thousand Wind Trading House has sent out invitations to all the major forces around."

"If a force hasn’t received an invitation, it proves that they have not yet reached the level required to enter this auction."

"If the young master has no urgent business, please leave."

"Can individual Martial Artists not attend this auction?" Xiao Yi asked.

The two guards, somewhat impatiently, replied, "They can."

"However, for the well-known individual Martial Artists around, our trading company has also issued invitations."

"If the young master hasn’t received one, it proves that the young master’s level hasn’t been reached either."

"What constitutes reaching the level?" Xiao Yi asked, frowning.

Just then, a group of people casually passed by and entered the trading company.

The two guards did not stop them.

"Don’t they lack invitations?" Xiao Yi asked.

The guards responded, "That’s the Lin Family, the first family of Thousand Wind City. We recognize them; no invitation is needed."

Then, another Martial Artist entered.

This person was a young man with an extraordinary aura.

The strong scent of blood wafted towards them.

"And him?" Xiao Yi inquired.

The two guards proudly said, "That’s Chu Chuan, the number one prodigy of Thousand Wind City, a Level 8 Wind Master from the Wind Shattering Hall."

"His whereabouts are elusive, and we couldn’t deliver an invitation to him."

"But just his name is proof enough."

"In the Wind Saint Territory, who would dare to obstruct his path?"

"I see," Xiao Yi nodded.

Since they wouldn’t let him in, he wouldn’t force his way.

He would wait to see the Thousand Wind Conference in two days; if uninterested, he would leave directly.

"Ha, boy, the Thousand Wind Trading House isn’t a place where any tom, dick, or harry can just waltz into."

Just then, a grating voice sounded.

Among the Lin Family Martial Artists, a young man looked disdainfully at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi couldn’t be bothered to respond.

"Hmm?" The Lin Family’s young man looked displeasedly at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi had already turned around, planning to return to the inn, not even sparing that young man a glance.

That young man, obviously someone of non-trivial status, was naturally displeased.

"Boy, do you know who you’re speaking with?" The young man made a move to stop Xiao Yi.

"Lin Yue." At that moment, a stern and indifferent voice spoke.

It was Chu Chuan.

"Don’t spoil my mood; I’m even less interested in wasting time on some nobodies."

Chu Chuan’s expression was cold.

The young man from the Lin Family, Lin Yue, wore a sycophantic expression and said, "Yes, yes, yes, some tom, dick, or harry indeed doesn’t deserve to waste Master Chu Chuan’s time."

After speaking, the Lin Family’s group, along with Chu Chuan, all entered the trading company.

Xiao Yi, from the beginning to the end, couldn’t care less about speaking and had already turned to leave.

Just then, a familiar voice arrived.

"Yo, brother, it’s truly a case of meeting everywhere, we meet again."

A young man walked leisurely up to Xiao Yi.

It was the same young man who had given up his room to Xiao Yi yesterday.

Xiao Yi nodded.

"So, brother, were you planning to go to the Thousand Wind Trading House auction?" the young man said.

"I happen to have some connections with this trading company, come on, I’ll take you inside."

"No need," Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Eh." The young man laughed, "You don’t seem like someone who dithers."

"Come on, follow me."

Before Xiao Yi could reply, the young man had already pulled him inside.

Xiao Yi frowned.

The two guards, looking at the young man with faces full of reverence, did not attempt to stop him.

Their expressions, filled with respect and fear, were even more pronounced than when they had seen the people from the Lin Family or Chu Chuan.

...

The first update.
