Chapter 1698: Giving Up?

Moreover, he believed that with his own strength and Hearing Ming Ying's, they would surely find many heavenly treasures and rare materials.

In the following time, Prince Di Luomi and the other two kept wandering around inside the auction house.

Whenever they saw some rare materials or heavenly treasures, Sun Xinghe and Lady Gongsun would very enthusiastically explain them to the three of them.

And when the young powerful ones from various factions saw the three of them, they would all keep their distance.

After all, the strength of Yunyang Sect was too powerful; these factions were unwilling to provoke them lightly.

Moreover, these young powerful ones also knew clearly that although they possessed many heavenly treasures and rare materials, in front of Yunyang Sect, these things of theirs were simply not enough to be seen.

As time passed, the auction gradually approached its end.

At this moment, there were already not many people left inside the entire auction hall.

"This auction session can be considered to have concluded quite successfully."

Sun Xinghe sighed, "Although some people might be a bit disappointed, most have returned with full loads. Especially our Yunyang Sect's Earth Spirit Pill, which was actually purchased by a mere post-heaven martial artist—this is truly hard to believe."

"Enough, what is there to find strange about this?" Lady Gongsun laughed, "When you reach my age, you will find that many things in this world are unexpected. Just like this little Di today, he has indeed brought us some surprises."

"Yes, it is indeed quite surprising." Sun Xinghe also nodded and said, "Alright, let us quickly go and count up today's gains."

Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying did not leave with them, but continued to wander around inside the auction hall.

"Hearing Ming Ying, do you feel that this auction is a bit strange?" Prince Di Luomi suddenly said in a low voice to Hearing Ming Ying.

"Strange? Where is it strange?" Hearing Ming Ying asked in confusion.

"I feel that this auction seems to be targeting us." Prince Di Luomi said with a somewhat solemn expression, "From the moment that man stopped us at the very beginning, to that old man saying that only Profound Blue Pills were available for third-grade pills, and then the words Sun Xinghe and the other two said to us..."

"You mean..." Hearing Ming Ying's face changed upon hearing this.

"Yes, their goal should be to use the things we put forward to exchange for the Earth Spirit Pill." Prince Di Luomi said slowly, "And the Earth Spirit Pill is merely a trivial matter for Yunyang Sect, but for us, it is a life-saving talisman. That is why they have been targeting us all along."

"Then let us quickly leave this place." Hearing Ming Ying also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"No need to rush; now that the auction has ended, we are in no danger. Moreover, staying here a bit longer might allow us to buy even more things." Prince Di Luomi said with a light laugh.

"Is that so? Then alright." Hearing Ming Ying no longer insisted after hearing this.

Afterwards, the two continued to wander around inside the auction hall. And their actions also attracted the attention of Sun Xinghe and the other two.

"What are you two doing?" Sun Xinghe asked in a cold voice.

After hearing the question from Sun Xinghe and the other two, Prince Di Luomi did not hide anything and directly stated his thoughts.

After hearing this, Sun Xinghe and Lady Gongsun both could not help but shake their heads and smiled at each other.

"Little Di, are you overthinking it?" Sun Xinghe asked with a light laugh, "This auction is a fair and just trading platform. Although our Yunyang Sect is powerful, we are not so domineering as to reach this extent."

"Yes, Little Di, you are still young and do not understand some things yet." Lady Gongsun also said with a smile, "Although our Yunyang Sect possesses many rare materials and heavenly treasures, these are not the foundation of our Yunyang Sect. The reason our Yunyang Sect has been able to sit firmly in the top seat of the Jibei Region for so many years does not rely on these."

After hearing this, Prince Di Luomi could not help but nod, and his heart also felt relieved.

"Thank you, senior, for your instruction." Prince Di Luomi said with a cupped-hand gesture, "The two of us are here for the first time and do not understand many things very well; we hope the senior can give us more guidance."

"Excellent, you two are very sensible."

Sun Xinghe and Lady Gongsun exchanged a glance and both saw the gratification in each other's eyes.

"The two of us can be considered well-traveled and knowledgeable in the Jibei Region; in the future, if you need any help, you can come find us at any time."

Sun Xinghe pointed to his heart area and said, "If you trust us, you can hand over your personal items for us to keep, and return them to you when you are no longer training in the Jibei Region in the future."

Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying exchanged a glance, and their hearts could not help but feel somewhat moved. Since the two of them came to the Jibei Region, they had always been fighting alone, and very few people could help them.

And although the strength of Sun Xinghe and the other two was not top-tier, they possessed rich experience and knowledge.

If they encountered any troubles in the future, they might be able to ask Sun Xinghe and the other two for help.

"Then thank you, senior." Prince Di Luomi bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"No need to be polite; we are also doing this for the peace of the Jibei Region." Sun Xinghe waved his hand and laughed, "Alright, now that the auction has ended, we should leave. You two train well; if you need anything, you can find us at any time."

After Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying expressed their gratitude once more, they watched Sun Xinghe and the other two leave the auction hall.

And their gazes could not help but fall on that auction house again.

Although the auction had ended, those servants were still counting up today's gains.

And the factions that participated in the auction also left one by one; there were already not many people left inside the entire auction hall.

After Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying wandered around once more, they also left this place. They currently had nothing they needed to buy, so they planned to return to the inn to rest first.

After returning to the inn, Prince Di Luomi took out everything he had obtained at the auction today. That Earth Spirit Pill had already been placed close to his body, and that fifth-level beast core was casually placed on the table by him.

After Hearing Ming Ying saw that fifth-level beast core, he could not help but say in surprise, "I did not expect you to have bought such a good thing."

"Yes, but unfortunately, this core is not my cup of tea." Prince Di Luomi said with a light laugh, "When I meet a suitable buyer in the future, I will sell it."

After the two counted Prince Di Luomi's spoils, they began to discuss the upcoming itinerary.

"Where are we going now?" Hearing Ming Ying asked.

"Let us go to the deepest part of the Jibei Region to take a look; it is said that there are many powerful beasts and ruins there." Prince Di Luomi said while organizing things, "I had already planned to go there to take a look before, and this auction just happened to arouse my interest."

"Alright, then let us set off now." Hearing Ming Ying could not help but feel eager to try after hearing this.

The two set off immediately and left the inn directly.

They did not take transportation vehicles like other factions, but chose to head north all the way.

For them, this would allow them to understand the customs and people of the Jibei Region more deeply.

Moreover, they also wanted to use this opportunity to learn more about the distribution of martial artist factions in the Jibei Region.

Although the Jibei Region is vast, for their strength, it is simply nothing.

So all the way they traveled at a fast pace.

In the Jibei Region, the temperature difference between day and night is large, the climate is harsh, and it is mostly covered in ice and snow, yet Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying were not affected at all and raced through all the way.

Along the way, they also encountered many beasts and ruins, but none were particularly powerful existences. Prince Di Luomi and Hearing Ming Ying also just casually killed some beasts and did not stay too long.
