However, who would have thought that today, she was already a cold and valiant cultivator?

”Miss, I …” ”I'm not afraid …” The fox girl blushed as she whispered.

Ruo Lan smiled. ”What's your name?”

”The fiery moon.”

”This name isn't bad.” Ruo Lan smiled. ”Help me inform City Lord Yero that I want to go to the auction hall to take a look.”

”Yes.”

Huo Yue received the order and arrived shortly after with a guard.

”Fellow Taoist Lan, the city lord ordered that you can just treat this place as your own.” Within this City Lord's Mansion, you don't need to inform him where you want to go to. ” The guard respectfully said.

Ruo Lan chuckled. ”Thank you so much, City Lord Yero.” She turned her head, the smile on her face immediately retracted. A cold light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xi Yue and Jun Wu You. She softly said, ”Xi Yue, Lan Ruo, let's go take a look.”

The three of them arrived at the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion. In a large room next to the main hall was the auction house.

As he walked in, he saw that there was an auction going on. It was a fist-sized fire elemental ore, and the demon spirits didn't seem to be interested in it.

Ruo Lan narrowed her eyes and sized up the fire elemental ore. She was surprised to find that the purity of the ore was unexpectedly high. However, the ones who could participate in the auction were all sea spirits. This kind of thing was quite difficult for them.

”Fellow Daoists, this fire elemental ore was retrieved by the seller from the underground volcano at the risk of his life. Three hundred middle grade Profound Rank spirit stones are not considered expensive at all!” The auctioneer was a fish demon with a long beard, earnestly trying to persuade them.

Without a second word, Ruo Lan raised her hand. ”I offer three hundred.”

Hearing someone bid, the auctioneer immediately became excited and loudly said, ”This Fellow Daoist is really knowledgeable. 300 Spirit Stones for this ore is a huge bargain!”

Ruo Lan pursed her lips and said, ”I know what I'm doing. Hurry up and count!”

”Which other dao friend wants to increase the bid?” Once, twice, thrice … ”Deal!”

Xi Yue walked up and handed over the chips. After a while, she returned with the fire ore.

Ruo Lan held it in her hand and looked at it for a while with narrowed eyes. There was only one thought echoing in his mind: What a lucky break this time!

If such a spirit stone were to be magnified in the mainland, without more than a thousand high-grade Profound Rank spirit stones, it would be impossible to even think about it! Even if he had spirit stones, this kind of ore with a pure fire attribute was priceless.

”This East Sea is truly a treasure trove. We might even be able to make a small fortune here. ” Rowland muttered.

Jun Wu You was listening at the side, his heart was moved as he whispered: ”I heard that they're not only selling ores and such here, but also some magical equipment.”

Rowan was shocked. ”Why are there magic treasures here?”

Xi Yue said in a low voice, ”There are many rogue cultivators' residences above the East Sea. Occasionally, I would find one and I would dig it. Naturally, there is no lack of magic treasures. There are also some cultivators who heard that they came to the East Sea to provoke them. After they were killed by the East Sea demon spirit, their magic treasures naturally fell into the hands of the demon spirit. ”

Only now did Ruo Lan understand, and she became even more excited.

They had long since heard that there were many Loose Immortals abroad. Although they hadn't had the chance to find their Immortal's Cave in the past few years, if they were able to find a few decent magic treasures here, it would be quite fortunate.

They found a place to sit down and waited quietly. After a short while, a second item was brought up. It was a long bag, and from the looks of it, it contained some sort of weapon.

”This second item …” The auctioneer mysteriously smiled. ”But it's something with a great history.”

With that, he slowly untied the package, revealing a bright red sword hilt surrounded by golden threads.

Seeing the hilt, Ruo Lan's expression changed greatly and she abruptly stood up.

”Haha, Fellow Daoist, don't worry. If Fellow Daoist is able to afford it later, then this magic treasure will naturally belong to you.” The auctioneer laughed.

Ruo Lan took a deep breath and slowly sat down. Xi Yue, who was at the side, looked at her in surprise. ”What's wrong?”

”I recognize this sword!” Ruo Lan bit her lips, then said with a trembling voice, ”This is Fairy Lan's personal sword, one of the four great swords of the Jadeite Mountains, Orchid …” But, but … This divine sword was worn by Master Fairy Lan herself, why would it be here?! ” Ruo Lan's face was pale as she whispered.

If not for the mask covering her face, anyone would have been able to see the peculiar expression on her face.

Jun Wu Yi had heard of the Orchid Divine Sword before. He had seen Fairy Lan a few times, as well as the Orchid Divine Sword. Now that Ruo Lan mentioned it, he immediately recognized it.

”Don't be too worried. When the auction ends, we'll go find the auctioneer and ask him. Let's see if he knows how the sword got to the East Sea.” Maybe someone stole it. ” Jun Wu Xiang said in a low voice.

Hearing that, Roulan was startled and muttered, ”Yes! It must have been stolen by someone! With Master's strength, it's impossible for her to fall to anyone! ”

It was obvious that although the name of the Orchid Divine Sword was well-known in the East China Sea, many of the demon spirits present had heard of it before. However, this pure fire type earth-step treasure couldn't pique the interest of the demon spirits.

The auctioneer could only bitterly smile and cast his gaze at Ruo Lan.

Ruo Lan had already calmed down. When she saw the auctioneer's gaze land on her, she only turned her head slightly, pretending not to see it. When the auctioneer was about to announce the auction, Ruo Lan spent five hundred Spirit Stones to bid for it.
