Battle Through the Heavens: The Holy Sun Immortal Venerable

Chapter 26 Snow Fairy and Linfei's Visit

Lin Ran took Little Fairy Doctor for a stroll in Black Rock City for a while, then had a Chinese meal. After returning to his residence, he gave Little Fairy Doctor some pointers on her cultivation.

Only when the auction was about to begin did they leisurely leave their residence and head towards the auction house with Little Fairy Doctor.

When Lin Ran reappeared at the entrance of the auction house, the entire Black Rock Auction House was already packed with people, and the noise and shouting were incredibly chaotic and headache-inducing.

Even with guards maintaining order, they couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.

"Have you heard? The official announcement just came out that today's auction has been unexpectedly extended; a powerful being has brought three pills to be auctioned!"

"High-level alchemists? Could it be Master Otto and President Frank?"

"Those two lords also had a share, but my buddy who works at the Black Rock Auction House told me that even Master Otto and President Frank couldn't refine the pills that powerful being brought!"

"What?! Even a fourth-grade alchemist can't refine it, then doesn't that mean..."

"That's right, just as you think. Otherwise, why do you think today's auction would be so popular?"

"Holy crap, I have to go check this out!"

"You can't afford it anyway, why bother going?"

"Damn it, don't push! Can't I go broaden my horizons? At least I can brag about it later."

The crowds were overwhelming.

The Blackrock City Auction House is open year-round, but there is a special auction every month, where rare and precious items are auctioned. Today happens to be that special auction.

With the added boost from Lin Ran's elixirs, the Black Rock Auction became incredibly popular, drawing huge crowds.

"Wow, so many people..."

Little Fairy Doctor was somewhat amazed, seemingly pondering how to get through the crowd, but Lin Ran had already taken a step and walked towards the other side of the Black Rock Auction House.

There was another passageway there, which was much quieter than the main entrance, which was packed with people.

A red carpet was laid on the spacious passageway, and a dozen guards stood there with indifferent expressions, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, deterring the crowd from pushing their way through.

Lin Ran led Little Fairy Doctor to the entrance of the passage. There were several figures at the entrance, neither going in nor leaving, seemingly waiting for something.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a familiar face!

It was Lin Fei and Otto, whom I had met in the treasure room this morning. In addition to the two of them, there was also a middle-aged man. The man had a dignified expression and a powerful aura. Judging from the occasional wisp of energy that seeped out from his body and caused a slight fluctuation in the air, his strength was roughly at the Dou Ling level.

As Lin Ran and Little Fairy Doctor approached, the others noticed them. The person in charge quickly led two maids forward, their faces beaming with warm smiles, to greet them.

"My lord, you've arrived!"

Lin Ran nodded calmly without giving any further reply.

The person in charge dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction with Lin Ran's attitude. Someone who could casually produce a fifth-grade pill was someone that not only he, but the entire Black Rock City, could not afford to offend!

"My lord, according to feedback from my men, almost all the major families in Blackrock City have arrived, and there are also quite a few powerful individuals from outside the city."

The person in charge, while guiding Lin Ran, said respectfully, "These powerful individuals have brought many treasures; this auction will certainly not disappoint you, sir!"

"Um."

Lin Ran remained unmoved. The person in charge continued to chat for a few more minutes, but seeing that the other party was not very interested, he stopped talking and led Lin Ran and the other person into the special passage, then disappeared from everyone's sight.

"How is it, Lord City Lord?"

Otto asked the middle-aged man beside him in a deep voice, "Can you tell what kind of strength that young man possesses?"

"I can't tell. His aura is completely concealed. Either his strength is above mine, or he has a treasure that can hide his aura." The city lord shook his head, his eyes showing a serious expression. "This young man is either from the capital or from outside the Jia Ma Empire. Either way, he is not someone we can afford to offend."

"Pass down the order: do not make things difficult for them, and certainly do not make them your enemy!"

"yes!"

"in addition……"

The city lord looked at Linfei to the side: "Go and apologize to that young man. It would be best to bring Xuemei along. Although it was just a casual remark, it's good to avoid any unnecessary trouble."

"I understand, Father." Lin Fei lowered her head. She wasn't bad-natured; it was just that she was used to being a spoiled young lady, which was why she subconsciously said something to Lin Ran in the treasure room.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ran had such a powerful and profound background. Thinking back on it, Lin Fei herself was terrified.

A seemingly insignificant remark may appear harmless, but in the Dou Qi Continent, a world where strength reigns supreme, countless people have lost their lives and their families have perished because of a single offensive word.

Even if the probability is very low, they must not gamble.

Lin Ran and his companion passed through a softly lit passage. After a few minutes, their view suddenly widened, and a spacious and enormous auction hall came into view.

The auction hall was extremely spacious, divided into two levels. The lower level had countless seats side by side, while the upper level consisted of private rooms.

"My lord, you are a distinguished guest of the Black Crystal. Please follow me."

The maid who led the way spoke respectfully and led Lin Ran and Little Fairy Doctor to the second floor. They finally stopped in a private room near the auction stage. She smiled slightly at Lin Ran and then bowed and withdrew.

The private room was quite spacious and luxurious. Most importantly, it offered a panoramic view of the entire auction hall, giving one the feeling of having everyone beneath one's feet.

"Young Master, it's them."

Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in surprise. Lin Ran also noticed Lin Fei and the others who were at the door earlier, and now Xue Mei and Frank had joined them.

Moreover, their location was exactly diagonally opposite his private room.

Lin Ran glanced at it and then looked away. He wasn't interested in the people of this small place. The reason he was staying in Black Rock City was mainly to resupply some daily necessities and, incidentally, to check on Xiao Yan's whereabouts.

Xiao Yan has not come to Black Rock City yet, and the supplies have been replenished.

If he doesn't find anything satisfactory at the upcoming auction, he will set off tomorrow for the Tagor Desert.

Lin Ran closed his eyes to rest, but after only a few minutes, Little Fairy Doctor suddenly spoke.

"Young master, young master, they've come over and say they want to pay you a visit."

Little Fairy Doctor paused slightly as she spoke.

"Those are the two women we met this morning."
