The Story Never Ends
Chapter 37 - The Auction Hall

In the Dark Moon City,

In a restaurant, Davion was sitting near the window, on top of the floor while eating the meat of a demon beast.

"How long has it been since I last ate meat? Eating dry foods every day nearly killed me. But this meat is really expensive. It cost 50 lower-grade spirit stones. If I knew the price, I would have never entered it."

"But the meat of a demon beast tastes really good and contains rich energy." While enjoying the meat, he was also looking at the city from the top.

This city looked similar to Mulberry City. But there were a lot of Mulberry trees in that city due to which it looked beautiful and lively. But this city looked cold and gloomy. There were not many cultivators among them. Most of them were civilians.

"Only in the inner regions, might there be a city consisting of all cultivators."

He used his Mind-Eye and covered the whole restaurant. "After leveling up to 17, my range has at least doubled. Not only that but my hearing has also improved. All the people in this restaurant are cultivators. I can also feel the breath of a Golden Core cultivator."

While he was using his Mind-Eye, he heard three people talking about something important. So, he immediately focused his attention on those and tried to understand what they were saying.

"Do you know that today, there is a spiritual artifact going to be auctioned?"

"What? Spiritual artifacts are very rare. Then why are they being sold frequently these days?"

"I heard that the Northern Sects Conference might happen next month. If you want to rank higher in the conference, then you need these artifacts. So, these artifacts have high demand and cost more than the usual price. That's why the artifact masters are making them more these days."

"But why is the Conference happening a little earlier than usual?"

"Who knows? Only the sect masters might know this."

They talked for a while and left. Seeing them leave, Davion paid the bills and also left the restaurant.

"So, it looks like the spiritual artifact will be auctioned today."

"I don't know if I can buy it with the spirit stones that I have remaining. If I can't buy it, then there might be some other things that might interest me."

"It is not too bad to broaden your horizons sometime."

He followed the map and came infront of the Auction Hall. It looked like a castle that was completely built by white bricks. There were two guards who were guarding the door.

He saw that some people showed them some kind of pass and easily went inside. While the other people who didn't have the pass had to get in from the backside.

So, he came straight to the back of the auction hall. There was a counter where a beautiful girl was sitting. The people had to show that they had at least 500 low-grade spirit stones before they could get the pass.

Davion showed her that he had those spirit stones and easily got a pass. After getting the pass he entered from the front door.

Inside the auction hall, there was a large number of compartments where they could enter. There was a large stage in the middle where the goods would be shown.

He used his Mind-Eye and tried to see inside those compartments but found out that he couldn't see through them.

"It looks like there is a special type of formation which doesn't allow others to spy inside it."

He entered the platform and closed the door. There was a table and a few chairs beside it. On the table were some snacks and a bottle of water.

He sat on a chair and thought, "I don't know if I have enough spirit stones to win the spiritual artifact. Let's see how many spirit stones I have."

When he was about to check his ring, he immediately thought of something.

"Eh..I was in a hurry and didn't even get the chance to see what's inside those space rings that I got from those cultivators that I killed."

"I am safe inside this compartment. I might as well see what's inside them."

He took out three space rings and looked at what's inside them.

When he saw the contents of the ring, he laughed out loud.

"Haha, I am rich. There are at least 4000 low-grade spirit stones inside it. Not only that, there are two spiritual artifacts inside it. One is a dagger and the other is a blowpipe."

The dagger was dark and looked very sharp. The blowpipe was black in the front and had a golden color in the back.

"Now I can see why I wasn't able to detect those darts. He used a spiritual artifact to hit me with those. It was too fast.. If a late-stage Qi refining cultivator had used this, then I might get into trouble."
