"Alright, we need to go and line up now."

As Wen Xinlan spoke, she quickly led everyone to the back of the long line and began the long queue.

At this moment, all the talents of Tiantuo City have gathered, and the winds of change are converging. Even the reputation of their Muyun Chamber of Commerce seems to be of little use, and they still need to queue up like most people.

Soon, it was finally Xu Yun and his group's turn in the long queue. After passing through a series of checks, they were able to enter Tiantuo City smoothly.

Splash—

As Xu Yun passed through the city gate, he was greeted by a bustling scene of carriages and people, with all sorts of noises and hawking sounds, bringing with it a strong sense of worldly life.

Although he had seen similar scenes in Mofeng City, Tiantuo City was superior in both scale and noise. Especially now that the grand auction was approaching, he could often see Foundation Establishment cultivators walking by on the streets.

In Mofeng City, Foundation Establishment cultivators are all high and mighty beings, but in Tiantuo City, he is just like an ordinary person, which breaks Xu Yun's stereotype.

Of course, for these low-level cultivators, they still need to bow when they see a Foundation Establishment cultivator, as this is a matter of courtesy towards those with higher cultivation levels.

"Alright, let's head to the Muyun Merchant Guild branch in Tiantuo City first."

After paying her respects to yet another Foundation Establishment cultivator, Wen Xinlan slowly straightened her back and turned to speak to the crowd.

Although many of them were interested in the upcoming large-scale auction, they did not forget the main purpose of their trip: to escort a shipment of goods back to Mofeng City.

Moreover, there are still a few days before the grand auction in Tiantuo City, so it wouldn't hurt to go to the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch first.

Soon, led by Wen Xinlan, the group crossed several streets and arrived at a mansion.

The mansion is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, and has two exquisitely carved stone lions in front of the steps. Upon closer inspection, they appear lifelike, fully displaying their appearance and majesty.

This is the branch of the Muyun Merchant Guild in Tiantuo City, but the area of ​​this branch is rather small, and in terms of scale, it is not even as large as the Muyun Merchant Guild's headquarters in Mofeng City.

However, it should be noted that this place is Tiantuo City, protected by a third-order formation, comparable to a Core Formation power, making it extremely valuable.

The fact that the Muyun Chamber of Commerce can still possess such a magnificent mansion in this place is already quite remarkable; many other forces do not even have this privilege.

"My name is Wen Xinlan, and I am in charge of this escort mission. Please give me your guidance."

Soon, as Wen Xinlan led everyone into the mansion and presented the credentials for the mission, the person in charge of the place immediately met with her for a more detailed discussion.

As for Xu Yun and the others, they stayed outside, waiting for the other party to come out. After all, they were just guards and, strictly speaking, were not qualified to know more details.

However, after waiting for a while, Wen Xinlan came out with a bright smile on her face. "Thank you all for your hard work. The goods to be transported will take some time to prepare. In the meantime, we will have some free time to attend the grand auction in Tiantuo City."

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with excitement. They had accepted the mission because of the generous reward.

Secondly, they could attend the grand auction in Tiantuo City on their way, an opportunity they had long coveted, hoping to find the chance they desired there.

If you're lucky, you might be able to compete for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, or even a Foundation Establishment Pill!

At that time, they will truly rise to prominence!

For a time, many people were full of fighting spirit, waiting for the opportunity to bid at the grand auction.

"Manager Wen, in that case, I shall take my leave."

Just then, Xu Yun came out and said something to Wen Xinlan.

Upon hearing this, Wen Xinlan asked with some surprise, "Fellow Daoist Xu, aren't you going to the grand auction in Tiantuo City with us?"

She was puzzled as to why Xu Yun would leave at this time, when the grand auction in Tiantuo City was just a few days away.

"Manager Wen, you misunderstand. It's not that I don't want to participate, but Tian Tuo City is incredibly prosperous. Besides the grand auction, there must be many other valuable resources in other places that I want to purchase."

Xu Yun shook his head with a smile on his face, "I'm worried that there might not be enough time, and I won't be able to attend the grand auction in Tiantuo City with Manager Wen and the others."

Although there were reasons for this, Xu Yun actually didn't want to attend the grand auction with people he knew.

The reason is simple: his wealth and resources far exceed what is outwardly displayed. This grand auction in Tiantuo City is a rare opportunity and will surely present many chances.

If Xu Yun wanted to compete with others, he might need to offer more than his publicly known wealth to have a chance of winning, but that would likely invite trouble.

To avoid this, Xu Yun had to use a pretext to separate himself from Wen Xinlan and the others, and secretly attend the grand auction in Tiantuo City.

"I see. But even so, Fellow Daoist Xu can still participate in the Tian Tuo City Grand Auction with the token of the Mu Yun Chamber of Commerce, and may even receive some preferential treatment."

Upon hearing this, Wen Xinlan said nothing more, after all, it was someone else's freedom, and she had no right to interfere.

However, she also thoughtfully reminded Xu Yun of this point: although her Muyun Chamber of Commerce was not as powerful as those Core Formation forces, it still had some reputation in the Yuan Kingdom.

By leveraging their status with the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, they can at least secure a private room at the Tiantuo City Grand Auction, making it easier to compete for items.

"Thank you very much, Manager Wen. I will certainly remember this."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun bowed respectfully. However, despite his words, he would not use his identity as a member of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce to enter the grand auction; instead, he would conceal his identity.

If I were to use my identity as a member of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild to enter the Grand Auction, I would certainly receive some preferential treatment, but not much.

Moreover, once Xu Yun's true strength and wealth are revealed, it will surely alarm many cultivators, and even the Mu Yun Chamber of Commerce will notice something unusual, thus attracting trouble.

Xu Yun dared not gamble with the conscience of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, so he had to act cautiously.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun said a few more words to Wen Xinlan, then took his leave and turned to leave.

During this time, Xu Yun waited for the grand auction in Tiantuo City to begin while also touring the city and collecting its resources.

It must be said that Tiantuo City truly deserves its reputation as one of the top immortal cities in the Yuan Kingdom. Some resources that are extremely rare in other places can be bought in the shops here.

Among them were some cultivation resources that Xu Yun needed, allowing him to make a long-awaited shopping spree.

However, he did not let his guard down. After purchasing some necessary resources under his original identity, he used the Invisible Mask to change into multiple aliases to purchase other resources, ensuring that no trouble would involve his original identity.

Moreover, this way, Xu Yun's wealth under each identity appears quite normal, preventing others from coveting or drooling over him and thus avoiding trouble.

However, on this day, just as Xu Yun was purchasing resources in his original form, he suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart, and his greatly strengthened spiritual sense detected something unusual about his body.

"This feeling...could it be some kind of spiritual imprint, allowing me to sense the location of others?"
