As the economic center of the Eastern Kingdom and the largest trading city in Haikou, Pearl City is far more prosperous than Rising Sun City. Bustling crowds of people shuttle through the intricate alleys. The roads are busy with traffic and traders.
People from the East Country, Chaoyang Country, Lietu Country, and even people from the distant Yupu Country come here to travel and trade. All kinds of civilized costumes are strange, and rows of small and distinctive shops line both sides of the street. A dazzling array of merchandise is displayed in the windows, with brightly colored silks, fragrant spices and precious gems attracting the attention of many people. Vendors were vying to sell their wares, and the sound of hawking and bargaining filled the entire neighborhood. Just the simple act of shopping is enough to make you want to go back.
As a seaport city, the huge goddess statue above the sea watched all this quietly, and the passing passenger and merchant ships were as densely packed as cruising fish schools.
"How is it? Pearl City is very lively, isn't it?" The man in black robe looked at Zhan Yue and asked.
Zhan Yue nodded, "It's much more lively than I thought. There are many faces and costumes that I have never seen before."
"Pearl City is the most important port city in the Eastern Kingdom. There is a mixture of fish and dragons here, and there are undercurrents surging beneath the bustling surface. The city lords of other cities are usually powerful mystics, but the person who is in charge of Pearl City is a powerful spirit. Divine Realm - Zhenhai King Mi Tianwei, he is the uncle of the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom, which shows how much the Eastern Kingdom attaches importance to this place. So don't cause trouble in the city." The man in black robe reminded.
"Let's go, we are here for the auction, not for tourism." The two quickly passed through the crowd and stayed at a luxurious hotel. For some unknown reason, the man in black robe stayed at home.
"Is this auction organized by the Wanju Chamber of Commerce?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.
"It was co-organized by the three major chambers of commerce, Wanju, Wuwei, and Fuyuan. The three chambers of commerce were evenly matched here, and no one would give in to the other. In the end, under the coordination of King Zhenhai, they jointly won the right to host the only auction in Pearl City. Each of the three chambers took their own rights. Some auction items were sold, and they were divided according to the auction proceeds. Also because it was an auction held by the three major chambers of commerce at the same time, the Pearl City Auction was the largest auction event in the Eastern Kingdom, but not every auction had particularly valuable products. ." The man in black robe explained.
"What is the most valuable product that has ever appeared in the Pearl Auction?" Zhan Yue asked curiously.
The man in black robe said: "It's hard to say, the value of items is different for different people. The most valuable things I know are ninth-grade elixirs, gold-grade exercises, ancient relics, etc. I remember that at that time A ninth-level elixir was sold for a sky-high price of 1 billion amethyst coins. Just one elixir has such a price. It is a pity that there is no ninth-level alchemist in the world, otherwise he must be the richest man in the world."
"One billion?" Zhan Yue took a breath. No one could refine the ninth-grade elixir. Most of them were found in ancient ruins. One pill was actually worth 1 billion, and he had a ninth-grade diamond elixir in his body. of.
"You should have a good rest. Our rooms are next to each other. If anything happens, you can come over." The man in black robe issued an eviction order.
"Okay." Zhan Yue did not hesitate, returned to her room, and asked the waiter to boil the bath water. After running around for many days, it is really relaxing to take a good bath.
There is warm water in the huge wooden barrel, with white petals floating on the water. This flower has the effect of cleansing the body and refreshing the mind. Soaking in the warm water, Zhan Yue felt happy both physically and mentally.
"Shu Tan, I'll ask you what kind of flowers these are later. I'll prepare some for myself. I'll add some when I take a bath in the future." Zhan Yue moved her arms around her body to relieve fatigue.
Just when Zhan Yue was taking a bath comfortably, a figure suddenly opened the window and entered. Zhan Yue looked intently and saw that it was the man in black robe.
"Are you taking a shower?"
"You go through the door, what are you doing through the window?"
The two asked questions at the same time.
"Junior brother, go and take a look next door. I can clearly feel the fluctuation of spiritual power." A voice came from outside.
"It's too late!" The man in black robe looked around Zhan Yue's room, but couldn't find a suitable hiding place. Finally, she looked at the huge wooden barrel, gritted her teeth, jumped in, and then drank a pill in the water to hold her breath.
Not long after, two figures broke through the door and barged in.
The two of them were dressed in the same attire, a green outfit, with short hair, sharp eyes, and an imposing aura.
"Could they be two masters of the mystical realm?" Zhan Yue looked at these two people and felt terrified. The momentum of these two people was terrifying, and he was afraid that they were both mystical masters.
"Brother, no." The two of them glanced around Zhan Yue's room, and then glanced at Zhan Yue suspiciously. Zhan Yue looked at the two of them with a 'panic' look on his face.
"I'm afraid I've run far away." The man replied, and then said apologetically to Zhan Yue: "Little brother, I'm sorry to bother you."
The two closed the door and left. Although Zhan Yue was angry, he was helpless. Others forced their way into the room, but he was helpless.
The man in black robe's head emerged from the water, but Zhan Yue's expression changed, and he pushed the head into the water again, ignoring the man in black robe's struggle and holding it tight.
The man in black robe hiding in the water felt like he was about to explode with anger. Her whole face was pressed against Zhan Yue's thigh, and he was holding her down tightly. However, she didn't dare to use her strength at this time.
"Bang." The door was forced open again, and the two people left and returned.
"Seniors, is there anything else you can do?" Zhan Yue looked at the two of them with pitiful and innocent faces.
"No...it's okay." The two looked at the empty room. Indeed, they couldn't sense the breath of the second person, and then left angrily.
When Zhan Yue asked the God of Clear Light to detect that the two had indeed left, Zhan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand.
The man in black robe emerged from the bottom of the water with red eyes, as if he wanted to eat someone. She raised her hand and slapped her, but Zhan Yue grabbed her delicate hand and stopped it from being slapped.
"The situation is critical, you can't repay kindness with hatred."
The man in black robe's chest rose and fell violently. It took him a long time to calm down and jumped out of the bucket. She was wet and could no longer hide her graceful figure. She gave Zhan Yue a vicious look, then returned to her room and changed her clothes.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer, I'm afraid they will come back and kill us again." The man in black robe came to Zhan Yue's room again, and Zhan Yue had already put on his clothes.
Zhan Yue didn't ask much, and the man in black didn't say much. The two of them seemed to have tacitly forgotten what happened before.
"How did they find you?" Zhan Yue wondered. How could the man in black robe be found at home without leaving home? Could there be some tracking mark?
"There is a mark left in my spiritual veins. As long as I use my spiritual power, it can be sensed by them within a certain range. Although I try my best to control the spiritual power in my body, sometimes it may not be under control, such as sleeping or other times. Involuntary spiritual energy fluctuations." The man in black robe did not hide this key information, after all, Zhan Yue was currently responsible for her safety.
"Hey, I finally understand that I have boarded the pirate ship. I didn't expect that there would be a mysterious master chasing you." Zhan Yue said with a bitter smile.
"You...do you want to regret it? It's fine if you regret it. After all, it's none of your business." The man in black robe had a complicated mood. She didn't know that those people had actually tracked down Pearl City.
