C17 A Chance
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes external things? Let's call it a day, you can go back now. " Xia Shang immediately ordered, "Li'er, send our guest off."
"Please, gentlemen." Xia Lee made a gesture of invitation.
"Mayor, is there really no room for discussion? Please speak your mind, I will definitely fulfill your request." Xiao Feng wanted to try again.
"Alright, then I'll give you a chance. I heard from Li'er that you encountered a group of bandits outside the city a few days ago. Is this true?"
"Reporting to the City Lord, this is indeed true. If it wasn't for Miss saving them, I would have long since fallen on the spot."
"Alright, then I will give you a chance. I don't care what method you use, as long as you can eliminate this group of robbers, I will write you a recommendation letter, but, this recommendation letter only recommends one person, as for Berserk Sword Sect, will you open a backdoor for me, this old man will not participate."
"This …" Xiao Feng didn't know how to reply.
"What is it? Difficult? If you have any difficulties, then don't go. But from now on, this matter shall not be mentioned again. "
"No problem, I just don't know if the mayor has a time limit." Just as Xiao Feng was hesitating, Xiao Tian stood up and said.
"The time limit is right before Berserk Sword Sect begins to recruit disciples. If you fail to do so on the first day of Berserk Sword Sect selection, it means that the mission has failed. You don't have to come back, you can go back immediately."
"Alright, that's the limit." Xiao Tian continued.
If she hadn't saved them last time, they would most likely have perished on the spot. Even if she went to exterminate the bandits a month later, what could she do this month?
"Alright, all of you can go now." Xia Shang ordered them to leave.
"Yes, but this …" Xiao Feng looked at the Blood Lingzhi in his hands.
"Take it back, I don't want these things." Xia Shang waved his hand.
"Yes, yes, yes. Then I won't disturb City Lord anymore." With that, he brought Xiao Tian and the other two away.
Xia Lee returned after escorting the three out of the courtyard.
"Father, do you think they can complete the mission?"
"Whether they can complete the mission or not is their problem. I will give them the chance." Furthermore, the person who just spoke is rather interesting. "
"You're talking about him, he's just an impulsive brute."
"Oh, do you know him well?"
"Not familiar. I just met him twice."
"Li'er, do not underestimate anyone. This brat dares to agree to this matter, or else he's just like what you said, a brainless boor. Either that, or those with great intellect would have great achievements. But in this world where the strong preyed on the weak, would a boorish man be able to live this long? " Xia Shang Ruo said meaningfully.
"Then father means that this kid is someone with great wisdom?" Xia Lee was puzzled as to why she felt that this brat was just a boor no matter how she looked at him.
"Hahaha ~" Xia Shang only laughed and did not answer Xia Lee's question.
"Oh right, how is the task I gave you going?"
"Father, everything has been done. Most of the bandits have already been cleared out. The remaining bandits probably won't dare to come out for a long time."
"Mm. Although you've already done very well, don't be arrogant. This is just a small matter. There will be more big things waiting for you in the future."
"I will do as father says."
"Alright, you can leave now."
"Yes, Father." Xia Lee also left.
"Tian, in a month's time, you have to eliminate that bandit. How is this possible? Even if we do not stop and return to the Sky Flame Town right now, it would take us twenty days to get there. In the remaining days, we will still have to find the hiding place of those robbers. " Xiao Feng said worriedly.
"Yeah, Tian, and have you thought about it before? Even if we really did eliminate the robbers according to Big Uncle's method, there's definitely a huge loss for our Xiao Mansion. Right now, our Xiao Mansion cannot afford such a loss." Xiao Jiuyuan also looked worried.
"Father, there is no need to go through all this trouble. Furthermore, you do not have to worry about it. I will naturally interrupt this matter. I just need the two of you to cooperate with me when the time comes."
"Do you already have a plan?" Xiao Feng asked.
"Yes, so for this month, you all should rest and recover, and maintain your strongest state at all times."
"Alright, then I'll listen to you this time."
"Father, you and Brother Jiuyuan go back to the tavern first. I'll go do something."
"Alright, be careful." With that, he returned to the inn with Xiao Jiuyuan, while Xiao Tian headed towards the auction.
Before going, of course, he had to dress up.
Heaven and Earth Auction House
It was the same Heaven and Earth auction house, the same process. The difference was that Xiao Tian entered with his VIP card this time.
"Sir, may I ask if you want to auction items or participate in the auction?"
"Auction item, cultivation method and martial skill."
"Alright, please follow me."
The design style and Sky Flame Town in the auction house were about the same, but they were over ten times larger than the scale of the Sky Flame Town. The Auction here were even larger than the large scale Auction that the Sky Flame Town did once a month, Xiao Tian sighed with emotion when he saw it.
"Sir, here we are. Please come in." The guard led Xiao Tian to a door, made a gesture of "please", then retreated.
Xiao Tian pushed the door and entered. He thought that there was a small window in the middle of a small room and an old man sitting opposite to him. However, after opening the door, Xiao Tian thought that he had walked into the wrong place.
Although the center of the formation was still separated, it was no longer separated by a wooden board like the Sky Flame Town. Instead, it was separated by an array formation controlled by the people inside the room.
Not only that, the person sitting opposite to him was actually a young and beautiful lady. He looked to be around twenty years old.
In addition to the large size of the room, the items inside were arranged in a neat and exquisite manner. It was impossible to tell that this was an auction place to appraise treasures, but one would think that he had entered a lady's room.
"Sir, please take a seat." The woman pointed at the chair in front of them.
"Sir, which cultivation technique or martial skill are you here to appraise?"
After sitting down, Xiao Tian directly took out the few cultivation technique manuals that he got from Liu Fei from the Bag of Heaven and Earth.
"Yellow Rank Low Rank Martial Skill, Heart Devouring Palm!"
"Low Huang Level Martial Skill, Ardent Leg!"
"Yellow rank low rank formation — Beast trap array!"
"middle Huang grade formation, Flowing Cloud Drilling Formation!"
"middle Huang grade martial skill, Myriad Ants Heart Devouring Technique!"
"middle Huang grade body transformation technique, King Kong Technique!"
"Advanced Yellow Ranked Sword, Myriad Swords Return to Sect."
After Xiao Tian took out the manual, before he could hand it to the other party, the other party had already revealed his name and level.
"Sir, do you wish to auction all of these or the portion that is auctioned off?"
"All of them."
"Alright, then I will arrange it for mister. However, there is no way to auction it today, so I can only schedule it until tomorrow. Does mister have any requirements for the time?"
"No problem, then let's do it tomorrow."
"Okay. Is there anything else I can help you with? "
"Who's appraising the weapons here?" Xiao Tian also got an overlord spear from Liu Fei, so he planned to auction it together with Liu Fei.
"If Mister's firm weapon is not of a high rank, I can take a look for you. If it is of a high rank, I will arrange someone to take Mister in for appraisal."
"Then help me take a look." He took out the Overlord Spear from the Bag of Heaven and Earth s.
"Yellow Rank Mid Rank Treasure, Tyrant Spear. A single spear shot out, the Overlord followed. "Good spear."
"That's all. Help me arrange the auction."
"Alright."
Mysterious Continent divided the weapons into Yellow Ranked Treasure, Profound Ranked Spirit Equipment, Earth Ranked Immortal Equipment, and Sky-rank Divine Instrument. Each rank was further divided into four categories: Exquisite, Superior, Medium-Ranked, and Low-Ranked.
After Xiao Tian finished his appraisal, he directly left the auction house and left the items there to arrange for the auction.
After finally settling all of these things, Xiao Tian only had dozens of Pill left with a Shattering Palm. In one corner, there was a picture placed there.
After Xiao Tian left the auction house, he planned to directly return to the inn. When he was almost at the inn, he saw Xia Lee, who was currently patrolling the streets with her Heaven City soldiers.
"Hey, we meet again."
"How come I can see you everywhere?" Xia Lee was also helpless. It seemed that she would be able to meet Xiao Tian no matter where she went in the next few days.
"Fate." Xiao Tian said with a smile.
"Pfft, so thick-skinned." If you don't think of a good way to kill bandits and cultivate, then why are you wandering around in this place? "
"This matter cannot be rushed. Isn't there still a very long period of time left?"
"A long time? Otherwise, if the bandits failed, they would be killed. At that time, no one will be able to save you. "
"That may not be the case. Maybe you can save me again."
"Come on, I won't go out that day even if I'm beaten to death, so just give up."
"Don't go out even if you're beaten to death. If you don't die, you'll definitely go out."
"You …" Xia Lee was so infuriated by Xiao Tian's words that her chest heaved up and down. When had she ever met such a rascal?
Seeing that Xia Lee was speechless, Xiao Tian stopped teasing her.
"I won't bother you any longer. Let's go." With that, he turned around and left.
Xia Lee was stunned for a moment as she watched Xiao Tian leave.
"Miss?" It was only when the soldier beside her called her that she reacted.
Xia Lee, who had reacted, immediately blushed as she thought to herself, "What's wrong with me? Why would I stare at a man's background in a daze? And it's an arrogant young man at that."
"Continue patrolling." Shaking his head, he flung the thoughts in his head out and continued his patrol.
In truth, the Heaven City Patrol was also a kind of symbolism. Within the Heaven City, no one dared to casually challenge the dignity of the Heaven City, as the Soong Family s also had to obediently follow the rules of the Heaven City.
Xiao Tian, who returned to the inn, directly returned to his room to cultivate and continue his cultivation. Xiao Tian planned to build a firm foundation for his previously increased cultivation within this month and condense his own Martial Spirit to completely enter the Martial Spirit realm. Only then would he be able to implement his own plan.
To step into the Martial Spirit realm in a month's time, besides the requirements for the storage of the Profound Qi, what was even more important was the need to condense one's own Martial Spirit, and the strength of the Martial Spirit would also determine the strength of the Martial Spirit realm and beyond.
With Martial Spirit that was strong enough, he could even fight battles above his level, just like Xiao Tian. However, Xiao Tian could fight battles beyond his level all because of his rich experience.
