The most secure job in Dajin

Chapter 518, The Most Eye-Catching Kid

The arrival of Ghost King Su Mingyue, Lady of the Other Shore Flower, and Ghost Cart brought a quieter atmosphere to the otherwise bustling auction.

Everyone was watching the battle between these two King Realm experts.

Hua Changxi was also watching, but his mood was somewhat heavy.

She was worried that these powerful Netherworld experts were all after her.

Cangming, standing in front of Hua Changxi's stall, was also paying attention to the battle, but he was rather inattentive, his focus still on Hua Changxi.

Hmph, this brat has quite a few treasures on him; even his divine sense, as a King Realm expert, cannot detect them.

However, this guy had the scent of the Styx River on him, and he was certain that this person was the Soul Clan member who rode the Netherworld Deer and stole the Netherfire Match.

She must be proficient in some kind of transformation technique, having previously transformed into a member of the Soul Clan.

As for what the Nightmare Eater said, he didn't actually believe it.

Why? Because humans can lure out the Netherworld Deer.

That's hilarious!

Outside the auction house, the battle between Lady of the Other Shore Flower and Ghost King Su Mingyue reached a stalemate, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

"That Nightmare Beast is also coming. Are you sure you want to fight me to the death?" Su Mingyue looked coldly at Lady Bi'anhua.

Lady Higanbana did not respond, but her offensive was weakening.

A moment later, the two stopped and landed.

"Humph!"

Lady Higanbana snorted coldly at Lady White Bone and the other ghosts, then revealed a wicked smile before striding into the auction area.

Su Mingyue was thoroughly fed up with the relentless pursuit of Lady Biyanhua. Suppressing her anger, she glanced at the ghost clan member wielding the bone umbrella and led her subordinates into the auction area.

As for the ghost carriage, it had already sneaked into the auction venue during the battle between Su Mingyue and Lady Bi'anhua.

Seeing that Lady of the Other Shore Flower, Ghost King Su Mingyue, and Ghost Cart had all entered the venue, Cangming glanced at Hua Changxi and turned to leave her stall.

He didn't want anyone to know that the Nine Nether Soul Realm Key—the Netherfire Match—was on this little ghost clan member right in front of him.

Anyway, since she was covered in Styx water, he could sense her no matter where she was.

Let her enjoy herself for a while.

"Cangming, you're fast enough!" Lady Higanbana smiled beautifully when she saw Cangming.

Cangming said expressionlessly, "Your speed isn't slow either." With that, he strode towards the Nine Nether Auction House.

Lady Higanbana followed, glancing at Hua Changxi as she went: "What, did the Ghost Clan offend you too?"

Seeing that she had noticed Hua Changxi, Cangming said coldly, "That brat is mine."

Lady Bi'anhua was surprised by the certainty in Cangming's tone. She smiled and didn't argue with him: "Fine, it's yours." After saying that, she glanced at Hua Changxi again.

At this moment, Su Mingyue also arrived at the stall in front of the Nine Netherworld Fourth Grade. She also noticed the difference in Cangming's attitude towards Hua Changxi of the Ghost Clan and glanced at her a few more times.

After looking at it, she immediately frowned, unable to discern the demon's cultivation level!

Although Su Mingyue had some doubts about this, she didn't delve into it further.

Murder and robbery happen every day in the Nine Netherworld. It's not impossible that this ghost clan member got lucky and obtained a treasure that can block the divine sense of a King Realm expert.

"The auction is about to end. If you don't want to die, get out of here now."

Since he was a member of the Ghost Clan, Su Mingyue still gave him a reminder. She could also see that Cangming had his eye on this little nobody.

"Whoo~"

At the stall, Hua Changxi watched Cangming leave, and then watched Madam Bi'anhua, the Ghost King, and Guiche enter the Nine Nether Auction House one after another. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, apart from the Styx man, it seems that the others are not after her?

This discovery eased Hua Changxi's tension a little.

Originally, she should have left quickly after being targeted by the man from the Styx River. However, at this auction, there were many stalls in the Nine Netherworld and the Human Realm where people were exchanging materials for refining weapons.

The Vermilion Bird Army is short of weaponry and desperately needs refining materials, so she should take this opportunity to trade for a batch.

Hua Changxi glanced at Cangming, who was already seated in the Nine Nether Auction House, packed up her stall, and decisively headed towards the stalls trading in refining materials. Dragon scales, phoenix feathers, Kunpeng bones, white tiger fangs, spirit rhinoceros horns, nine-tailed fox tails, golden roc wing bones, and Xuan Turtle shells were among the items available.

Although the quantity of these items was small, the variety was abundant, and Hua Changxi bought them one by one.

Although she bought a lot, it wasn't anything too special; others were also rushing to buy and trade.

Upstairs at the Nine Nether Auction House, Cangming saw Hua Changxi moving between the various stalls without any intention of running away, so he felt relieved and focused his attention on the auction.

Although the Styx Clan is rich in resources, it still needs to exchange some cultivation resources with other clans.

Especially some cultivation resources in the human realm.

The auction is about to end, and the items up for auction are all treasures he has kept hidden away, which he is still very interested in.

After Cangming won several treasures that suited his taste, he turned his gaze back to the stall, his brow furrowing slightly. However, his brow quickly relaxed.

snort!

Did she think that by changing her appearance, he wouldn't be able to find her?

Yes, after Hua Changxi realized that she had been targeted by the Styx man, she took an opportunity to take out another Styx Stone and put it on the Sui Xin Mask.

She is no longer a lowly ghost, but a distinctive figure—a rogue cultivator from the Nine Netherworlds, wearing a black mask and a black robe.

She thought she could get away with it, never imagining that when the Netherworld Deer carried her across the Chongyuan Pass, she had been drenched from head to toe by the waters of the Styx River.

To avoid revealing her human aura, she simply dried the robes without using flames to burn them, which is why the robes still retain the scent of the Styx River.

That's why Cangming set his sights on them.

Cangming scoffed at Hua Changxi's pretense, but his laughter soon faded.

Not only him, but many powerful figures from the Nine Netherworld and the mortal realm were also losing focus on the bidding, their gazes frequently drifting towards a wealthy and powerful rogue cultivator on the Nine Netherworld's fourth-grade stall.

The Nine Passes Auction is both an auction and a trading fair.

Those who came to participate included both lone cultivators and powerful factions from various regions.

Therefore, the forms of transactions are diverse, ranging from individual transactions of rare and precious items to the bulk transfer of large quantities of goods.

Generally speaking, large-scale transactions of resources are only conducted between major powers, and it is rare for independent cultivators to trade large quantities of resources.

First, we don't have the financial resources; second, we don't have the strength to protect them.

Ten tons of black iron, I want it!

Five tons of black gold, I want it!

Nine tons of cold iron, I want it!

Ten tons of refined iron, I want it!

While purchasing these items, Hua Changxi hadn't attracted much attention until she took out ten million Nether Stones and traded a hundred tons of Dark Gold with the Demon Clan. At that time, she became the most eye-catching rogue cultivator at the Nine Nether stall.

Cangming stared at Hua Changxi speechlessly, wishing he could fly over and crack open her head to see what was inside.

Carrying the Hellfire Match on her person, instead of keeping a low profile, she's making such a scene. Does she think others won't notice her and that she's not dying fast enough?

Even if he obtained the Netherfire Match, his first instinct would be to retreat to the Styx Palace instead of flaunting it outside.

Hua Changxi was unaware of Cangming's inner thoughts and was still engrossed in searching for materials for refining weapons.

She knew that her lavish shopping might attract attention, but there was no way around it; the auction was about to end, and she hadn't purchased many refining materials yet.

After finishing her purchases at the Nine Netherworld stall, Hua Changxi turned her attention to the Human Realm stalls.

To be honest, although the Nine Netherworlds are rich in resources, only a small portion is actually usable by the Vermilion Bird Army; the majority of the materials used for refining weapons come from the human world.

However, her current appearance is definitely not suitable for going to a human market to shop extensively; she's too conspicuous!

Just as Hua Changxi was about to find a secluded place to transform back into a human, she suddenly felt several burning gazes fall upon her.

Following my senses, I looked towards the auction building and my eyelids twitched.

Upstairs in the auction house, many powerful figures were sizing her up.

Being watched, Hua Changxi couldn't change her appearance, so she could only continue to wander through the Nine Netherworld Streets while looking around for a place to transform.

During this time, she noticed that some human cultivators disguised as various races of the Nine Netherworld entered the auction venue one after another.

It was the same group of people she had seen before at the Netherworld River Waterfall, the fifth level of the Nine Netherworld! (End of Chapter)
