Chapter 342 - 283: Half Fox Demon Blood, Half Changsheng Blood! (Double-Length)_2
Su Qingqing’s voice became increasingly soft, tinged with sobs as she spoke.
"There’s no feast that doesn’t end eventually. I’m still here, we’ll meet again soon enough, why be so sad?" Song Changming said with a smile.
"Mm!" Su Qingqing lowered her head.
The reason she felt this sadness was because she knew this trip was different from the ones outside Da Lai she had taken before.
The vast lands of the Ancient Abyss Country are boundless, perhaps exceeding dozens of Da Lai by comparison.
Traveling from Yun Province to Yuan Province, crossing mountains and seas, even when flying, the journey is long and takes a considerable amount of time.
Moreover, she had a premonition that she would stay in Yuan Province for quite a while on this trip.
This was also the first time in over twenty years that she left Song Changming on such a ’long-distance’ journey.
The uneasy feelings of leaving the Su Mansion and her biological parents seemed to echo in her heart once more.
Compared to the cold Su Mansion, being at the Young Master’s side felt like the true place of comfort for her.
The next day.
"Don’t worry, with Mr. Jiang here, the journey will certainly be safe, and before entering Yuan Province, Dongming and I will also look after you." Liu Xiangnan patted Song Changming’s shoulder and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Liu, take care along the way." Song Changming nodded and cupped his hands.
"Take care!"
Watching Su Qingqing leave, Song Ping’an immediately asked, "Young Master, where are we going next?"
Song Changming turned back to look at the giant Cui Bai Main City behind him and calmly said, "Nowhere, we are staying here."
The initial reason for coming to this Cui Bai Main City was for Su Qingqing.
Now that the mission was accomplished, Su Qingqing’s departure marked the temporary completion of this matter.
And he also needed to consider his own affairs.
He had long thought deeply about this.
Yun Province was one of the three major regions wholly ruled by the Human Race. It was relatively safe, close to the Abyss and Da Lai, and he had no reason to leave Yun Province.
Most importantly, it was close to the Corpse Refining Sect. He wanted to investigate his brother’s remains, so he had to stay.
Staying in Yun Province, staying on Cui Bai Dao was something he decided upon arriving at Cui Bai Main City.
...
Cui Bai Main City, also known as Cui City, is divided into five major districts.
At the center is the square-shaped Core City, which is the most ancient form of Cui City.
The four outer districts were constructed in a circular configuration, surrounding the Core City layer by layer.
Among the five districts, the Core City has evolved into a gathering place for the powerful and influential, with mansions lined row upon row.
Throughout Cui Bai Dao, the real powerhouses are almost entirely gathered here.
The Second District is the most prosperous, with the highest costs of living, attracting mainly wealthy and noble individuals.
Therefore, most of the valuable items are concentrated in this district.
The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Districts resemble three tiers of social class, dividing people by their different assets and abilities.
In the Second District, the Celestial Treasure Pavilion resembles a towering crystal pagoda, beautifully carved like a giant crystal, sparkling under the moonlit night.
This night, many people from the Core City came here.
"Welcome, everyone, to this month’s Rune Assembly. As usual, the talismans and talisman papers in the crystal boxes are all clearly priced.
The main venue will auction off works made by high-level Talisman Masters, and distinguished guests are encouraged to bid actively if anything catches your eye."
A middle-aged man wearing brocade attire and a hat, with a kind expression, announced loudly to all those present.
"He should be the Pavilion Master of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, Wang Zhongyi, backed by the Wang Family of the Core City, meaning this place is one of the Wang Family’s assets," Song Ping’an softly introduced as he stood behind Song Changming amid the crowd.
Song Changming chuckled lightly and said, "It seems you haven’t been idle these past few days; you’ve gathered quite a bit of information."
Song Ping’an laughed nervously, "I dare not delay the tasks given by the Young Master."
"Alright, you don’t have to stick with me. Go look for the Spirit Locking Talisman. Such a grand Rune Assembly should have it, right?" Song Changming waved his hand.
"Alright." Song Ping’an hurried away.
The Celestial Treasure Pavilion is ten layers high, filled with treasures, deemed as heavenly treasures, indicating their preciousness.
The Rune Assembly held tonight is basically a monthly event, occupying two floors of the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, which is no small scale.
Looking around, crystal boxes mentioned by Wang Zhongyi rested on podiums everywhere.
"Tsk tsk, truly extravagant beyond belief..." Song Changming couldn’t help but quietly click his tongue.
These crystal boxes were even aesthetically pleasing, made from Spirit Crystals, exuding an aura of wealth and grandiosity.
It’s widely known that the Wang Family from the Core City is wealthy.
Members of the Wang Family have often played the role of benefactors to many, with tales of lavish spending every year.
Song Changming didn’t stand out in the crowd. Besides the people making a splash, there were also many affluent and powerful martial artists participating in the Rune Assembly.
Innate Martial Artists were not uncommon; Song Changming’s apparent strength was hardly noteworthy here.
"Wang Zhongyi, don’t delay any longer, quickly bring out the treasures for auction," a wealthy-looking scion bluntly urged, unafraid of Wang Zhongyi’s status.
People of their social standing naturally aren’t interested in common items displayed in the showroom but are directly here for the auction.
The items in the auction are generally several levels above those in the showroom.
"No problem." Wang Zhongyi replied unconcernedly and clapped his hands.
