Urban Dominating Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1109 - 1102: Focused Cultivation

"The position of Lord is now in hand."

Beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang's eyes gleamed. In this Nine Provinces Sacred Domain, he finally had a foothold. Next, he planned to break through to the Immortal Venerable Realm and bring Zilan, Nangong Feiyang, and others over.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you for attending this auction. All items have been successfully auctioned. On behalf of the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association and the Marquis's Mansion, I announce the conclusion of this auction!"

The Celestial Cyan Marquis scanned the attendees, clasped his hands slightly, and said with a smile.

After the auction ended, the cultivators present dispersed. Those who acquired nothing naturally left the Marquis's Mansion, while those who had auctioned items went to the transaction rooms in the mansion to pay their Spirit Stones and collect their items.

Beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang also entered one of the transaction rooms. A maid served him tea and then left the room.

About five minutes later, three figures simultaneously entered the transaction room.

These figures were none other than the Celestial Cyan Marquis, Linglong, and Master Yan.

Seeing these three appear at once, Qin Yang's eyes flickered for a moment, though he wasn't particularly surprised.

"Senior, you have auctioned four items this time: the Thunder and Fire Dual Swords and the Moon Dance Clear Shadow Technique, costing 246,000 Spirit Stones. The Marquis's design plans and the Lord's Mansion position cost a total of 600,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

The two Venerable-Breaking Pills you sold fetched 640,000 Spirit Stones, plus the one Venerable-Breaking Pill you promised Linglong for 340,000 Spirit Stones, totaling 980,000 Spirit Stones. Overall, we owe you 134,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones."

Linglong said.

"Senior, this Storage Bag contains 134,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, along with the Thunder and Fire Dual Swords, Moon Dance Clear Shadow Technique, and the Marquis's design plans you purchased."

Linglong handed a Storage Bag to the hooded figure in front of her and said.

"Hmm."

Beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang nodded and accepted the Storage Bag.

"Fellow Daoist, here is the Lord Token for Wind Ridge Town."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis's gaze also assessed the hooded figure before him, then, with a flip of his right hand, a silver Token appeared in his hand.

Qin Yang nodded, took the silver Token, and felt a chill emanate from it.

"Fellow Daoist, upon assuming the Lordship of Wind Ridge Town, all matters within the town are to be managed by you. You will also have two obligations."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis looked at the hooded figure and said.

"Please, Marquis!" Beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang replied.

"First, as the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, you are required to submit 200,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones annually."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis glanced at Qin Yang and said.

"Hmm."

Qin Yang nodded. This wasn't too much, as the entry fees collected at Wind Ridge Town were substantial and should cover it.

"Second, you are obliged to resist any possible beast tides and protect the cultivators within Wind Ridge Town," said the Celestial Cyan Marquis.

"Naturally."

Qin Yang also nodded. Since Wind Ridge Town bordered the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range, beast tides were expected. As the newfound lord of Wind Ridge Town, Qin Yang would naturally offer protection.

"Those are the only two points."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis nodded, then smiled slightly and, with another flip of his right hand, produced a guest Token from the Marquis's Mansion.

"I never expected the Venerable-Breaking Pill to belong to you, fellow Daoist. My apologies, and you are always welcome as a guest at the Marquis's Mansion."

The Celestial Cyan Marquis said.

According to the Celestial Permanence Commerce Association's information, this mysterious figure before him was indeed the master who refined the Venerable-Breaking Pill. Such a person was worth befriending, regardless of his status and power.

"You honor me, Marquis."

Qin Yang did not decline and accepted the Token.

After leaving the transaction room, the cultivators who attended the auction had not entirely dispersed.

As many as ten gazes lingered on him unintentionally, and even the Water and Fire Dual Venerable remained, with Shi Lie's gaze playfully fixed on Qin Yang.

"It seems this auction has certainly drawn some attention."

Beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang's eyes flickered, but he was not afraid. Once he left Celestial Cyan City, he had the means to shake them off. Thus, Qin Yang continued walking steadily toward the exit of the Marquis's Mansion.

"Senior."

As Qin Yang stepped out of the Marquis's Mansion and hadn't gone far, he was stopped. Before him stood Bai Qingtian, Bai Hanfeng, and the members of the Bai Family.

"If you are unoccupied, Senior, we would be honored to have you as a guest at the Bai Mansion."

Bai Qingtian said politely, clasping his hands toward Qin Yang.

Upon seeing Bai Qingtian and the others, Qin Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, a bit intrigued.

"Patriarch Bai, aren't you worried about being implicated by my presence, given all the eyes on me?"

Beneath the dark hood, a hoary voice asked.

Aside from the Water and Fire Dual Venerable, even the Prince from Pavilion Number One and the three major sects surely had some interest in him.

At this moment, Qin Yang could feel a dozen gazes on him from the street.

"Senior's words are too kind. You have been a benefactor to our Bai Family. I merely wish to invite you as a guest. I am aware you dislike trouble, and none of these people dare enter the Bai Mansion without permission."

Bai Qingtian said sincerely.

As the head of his family, Bai Qingtian was prepared for this level of commitment. Moreover, this hooded Senior before him was an Alchemist capable of summoning Pill Thunder, someone unlikely to fear these prying individuals.

If the Bai Family could assist even slightly, it would be a small way to repay the Senior for providing them with the Venerable-Breaking Pill for only 150,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

"Well, I'll impose on you then, Patriarch Bai."

Hearing this, beneath the dark hood, Qin Yang pondered for a moment, then nodded.

He currently had no other matters to attend to, except one: focusing earnestly on cultivation, sensing the Thunder Tribulation.

Hence, he decided to cultivate at the Bai Mansion first and leave when he sensed the opportunity to overcome the Thunder Tribulation.

As it was, Qin Yang, Bai Qingtian, and the others traversed the street and entered the Bai Mansion.

"Big brother, that hooded person was actually invited into the Bai Mansion by the Bai Family."

Seeing Qin Yang enter the Bai Mansion, Shi Lie frowned and spoke to Shi He beside him.

The Bai Mansion was Bai Family territory, and as one of the three major families in Celestial Cyan City, not everyone dared to intrude. Such an act would be tantamount to making an enemy of the Bai Family.

"Let him enter. As the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, he will eventually have to take over his duties. His identity cannot remain hidden forever."

Shi He's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

"Hmph, unless he hides in Wind Ridge Town indefinitely, once he falls, the Lordship will be ours."

Shi Lie sneered.

Once Qin Yang, cloaked in his hood, entered the Bai Mansion, those covertly watching quietly dispersed. After all, none dared intrude openly into the Bai Mansion, which was guarded by a powerful Immortal Venerable, along with the Bai Family's ancestral lineage.
