Chapter 176: Linyuan City

Linyuan City is located to the west of Yueyun Palace, separated from Biyun City by a large city.
It is a major border city connected to the Abyssal Demon Realm and serves as an important passage for communication between Yueyun Palace and the Demon Realm.
Beyond the myriad mountains, a vast plain connects to an endless expanse of dark mountains.
Upon the plain, lights shine brilliantly, stretching for countless miles, as far as the eye can see.
The lights cast a faint red hue upon the clouds in the sky.
The atmosphere here is also unique, mixed with a faint demonic aura, the air carries a chilling cold.
It is close to the demon realm, and the demonic essence will more or less seep through; it's just how it is at the intersection of the two races.
Ye Wuyou flew at a low altitude all the way, not wanting to expose his whereabouts too early.
After more than two hours of travel, he finally arrived here.
Along the way, he was comprehending the heart method of the seventeenth level of the Heavenly Realm, continuously filling in and testing, hoping to quickly elevate his realm.
The Qin Demon God Xi obtained in Lingtian City has reached the limit of filling the spells of the Tongtian realm. He has tried to fill them on his own through his understanding of various spells, but has had no success along the way.
Right after the city of Linyuan, the variety of beings coming and going gradually increased, becoming livelier the closer one got.
Unlike other cities, Linyuan City is most bustling at night.
Many demon race individuals come to Linyuan City at night to sell and purchase goods.
Many beings also come to Lingyuan City at night to sell and buy goods from the demon race.
As a result, the "Night Abyss Market" formed in Lingyuan City has become the largest hub for human-demon goods in the Lingxing Realm.
Lin Yuan City has thus become one of the most prosperous cities of the Yueyun Palace, second only to the capital, Zhongzhou.
"What a complicated place!"
Ye Wuyou had not yet entered the city but could already see various beings coming and going.
Some fly in the sky, some run on the ground, and some dig underground.
They have various appearances, from all kinds of races among the myriad clans, demon tribes, monster tribes, and human races, creating a lively scene.
In the air, on the ground, and in every corner, ghostly flames flicker in and out of sight; those are the trading points of the Linxing Demon Clan.
Lingyuan City is very open and does not have strict controls, allowing transactions to take place anywhere.
The only rule is a simple one: no disturbances and no disruption of the order in Lingyuan City.
Many ghost flames are hovering in the air, and these ghost flames are relatively large, each one resembling a floating stall.
A lot of creatures were gathered together, chattering about the prices.
Ye Wuyou glanced up and saw that there were many dewdrop elixirs, earth spirit elixirs, divine fruits, soldier crystals, fate stones, and other precious materials for sale, as well as many divine-grade treasures, divine abilities, weapons, and so on.
There are also many runes, plain scripts, body texts, etc.
These items are quite expensive, primarily exchanged for some inscriptions needed by the demon tribes.
Ye Wuyou turned and entered the corners of the ghost flames, where the items sold at these stalls are better, but the prices are high, and few people visit.
Entering the bustling main street, a lively marketplace comes into view.
All kinds of creatures are coming and going, creating a vibrant atmosphere.
The marketplace is a large night market, the biggest in Linyuan City.
```htmlThe items in the market are diverse, and the noise is bustling and ear-piercing.
Ye Wuyou strolled through the night market, gazing at the various magical treasures, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart. The Tai Chi diagram in his dantian was restless.```
At the far east of the marketplace, there is a dark entrance, heavily guarded, appearing very mysterious.
Inside is an auction house with highly valuable items.
Ye Wuyou arrived at a small stall early, browsing casually, casting a side glance at the people entering and exiting to see what conditions are required.
This is an entrance, and only those holding a golden card are qualified to enter.
On the other side is the exit, and those who come out are not subject to any restrictions.
Ye Wuyou quickly found the place to apply for the golden card and soon realized that one must have at least 100,000 taels of gold to apply for it.
Of course, the hundred thousand gold liang is just a deposit; a gold card has a face value of a hundred thousand gold. The more gold one has, the more gold cards one can purchase.
Holding at least one gold card is the minimum requirement to enter the auction house.
These gold pieces are only used as collateral. If the auction is successful, the auction house will hand over the gold and goods.
If it is unsuccessful, the gold can be exchanged using a gold card.
Ye Wuyou focused on a seemingly unremarkable human, who possessed a gold card.
He followed him into the restroom of the night market, quickly restrained him, seized his gold card, and locked him inside the restroom to hide him.
```htmlHe blended into the crowd and smoothly entered the auction house with his gold card.
The auction house was crowded with nobles from various races and wealthy merchants.
There were also many private rooms, filled with exceptional talents and wealthy tycoons from various regions.```
The arrangement of positions and seating is very meticulous, strictly differentiated according to the number of cards each person holds.
Ye Wuyou holds a gold card and can only stand at the last position, where most people are just there to join in the fun.
Or rather, only able to bid on lower quality, very ordinary items, with little say in the matter.
"1000 pieces of Goblin Elixir, starting bid at 1 card!"
On the stage, a beautiful woman spoke.
Many people are bidding; the Goblin Elixir is highly sought after here. It can provide strong essence support for Earth Spirit-level divine spirits and souls, making it a treasure that strong individuals compete for.
很快，1000粒地精丹以5张金卡的高价拍出。
叶无忧响起万界铺的拍卖行，简直就是天差地别。
随后出场的是1000粒地魂丹，也是1卡起拍。
The Earth Soul Pill can enhance the quality of Earth Spirit-level primordial spirits and souls, and is also a rare treasure.
In no time, 1000 Earth Spirit Pills were auctioned off at a high price of 3 gold cards.
Subsequently, several auction items consisted of various pills, and the prices fetched were all quite high.
Ye Wuyou has been observing the beings in all directions, looking for something to grasp onto.
After all, Lingyuan City is far stronger than other cities, and if Yue Jue returns to the main city, he will surely implement strict defenses.
If Ye Wuyou wants to force her way in, she most likely won't gain any benefits. It would be better to create a scene here to attract the attention of the main city.
A chilling aura swept in from the entrance, turning the entire auction house icy cold.
"Gu Dan is coming, make way!"
Many people awkwardly moved aside to create a path directly to the VIP room.
"He hasn't appeared in a long time. The second in charge is personally taking action; could it be that there's some big treasure?"
“Guyuan Tower is the largest merchant in the Demon Realm; good things always come from there, so it definitely won't be bad.”
“Yeah, yeah! The big seller is here, so we’re in for a good show.”
```htmlMany people are chattering and laughing quietly.
A powerful aura spreads like wildfire, bringing an intense sense of enchantment, making the place feel cold as if a frost had descended.
A line of ghostly flames leisurely flies into the sales area, casting a chilling glow all around.```
All the beings present felt a shiver run through them, and they gasped in fear.
Then, a low, mournful sound drifted in, making the whole place even colder.
As a chilling breeze swept across, a group of strangely dressed specters entered the scene, boldly carrying a large palanquin.
大轿上挂满了各种生灵的骸骨，黑色气息喷涌，散发着至阴之气。
Among them sits a humanoid figure, with a stout body, a head that is large and round, and a face as big as a basin.
With eyes like eggs, they spew forth dark light, scanning the surroundings, spreading a chilling cold everywhere.
Its mouth is as wide as a ladle, incessantly gnawing at the flesh of unknown creatures, blood splattering everywhere, but all the spilled blood transforms into a black divine glow that merges into its body.
This scene is very frightening; the venue is filled with silence.
