The turmoil in Capital had passed for over a month, and under the guidance of Wu Xian, Yuanhui crossed mountains and valleys, facing numerous hardships to reach the land of West State.

When they arrived at West State City, it was already late in the afternoon. Luckily, after entering the city, he found a quiet inn to rest.

This seemed a bit redundant as there seemed to be no place without people here!

"Why is everywhere so crowded?" Yuanhui complained, "I can't even find a place to rest now!"

"Oh, gentlemen, please come this way. We have the best accommodations here... You know, there are plenty of poor people here in West State!" A waiter suddenly caught Yuanhui by the arm.

"Is that so? Then let's take a look first."

Yuanhui clicked his tongue, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Nevertheless, he brushed it off, taking the opportunity to inquire about various news within West State City. After all, as newcomers, they, as village bumpkins, were not very familiar with many things here.

In the guest room, Yuanhui sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes closed tightly.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a faint paleness appearing on his face.

The intense pain, despite experiencing it many times over, still made him feel extremely uncomfortable. It seemed like he couldn't bear it.

Thinking this, Yuanhui trembled as he lightly tapped a ring on his hand, then took out a thumb-sized jade bottle from it. Inside lay a green pill, one of the "family heirlooms" used by Wu Xian. Of course, it was just something Wu Xian would use for regular body maintenance, but it was truly effective for spiritual power!

"It seems like I must try my luck at the 'auction house' tomorrow."

Looking at the last pill left, Wu Xian sighed lightly. Could such a medicine that could replenish the soul from thousands of years ago really be found?

But the fact was — it was quite rare!

After searching the whole West State City, he only found a single plant, and its quality was just at the Qi-level.

The "auction house" mentioned by Wu Xian was the largest and the only auction house in West State City, owned by the Han family, the dominating force in the city. The Han family's scale and reputation were incomparable to any trading hub in the Central Plains!

Upon hearing Wu Xian's words, Yuanhui breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the bed, falling into deep sleep.

...

The next day, Wu Xian and Yuanhui got up early, and after a quick preparation, they walked out of the inn and headed straight to the center of the city — the Great West Auction House.

The Great West Auction House was not only famous in West State but also across the entire continent. When Wu Xian traveled the continent in the past, the Great West Auction House was already renowned.

At first sight of the "Great West Auction House," Yuanhui keenly felt its majestic grandeur. The gilded hall, hundreds of empowered individuals lining up obediently at the entrance — not a single one dared to be unruly here.

On the land of West State, Chi was impossible to exert. This situation also happened to Yuanhui after advancing to the Empowered Realm, except...

"I can't exert it? Heh!"

Wu Xian released a strong Chi from his hand with a smile, causing waves of shock in Yuanhui's heart!

Yes, the two Immortal Emperor experts sealed off this continent, and there were only two Immortal Emperors in the world... Could it be?!

"Hahaha!" Wu Xian laughed heartily, "Just realized it? This is my realm, and the Chi here is where I laid the seal years ago, hoping to trap that old Black Emperor... Who would have thought, I... Sorry, sorry, I, as the Master, never expected, this treasure actually benefited millions of people in West State!"

"..."

"What's wrong? Rest assured, even if Wu Yan comes here, I can crush him like a tiny ant, after all, the Chi here completely suppresses all Empowered powers, resetting the realms of all Empowered on West State mainland."

"No, Teacher, you are too conspicuous here. Shouldn't we hide first?"

"Come on, since we're here, let's go inside."

With that, Wu Xian led Yuanhui inside...

Outside the auction house, a dense flow of people kept coming in and out like the tide. Such formidable popularity was comparable to that of the adult ceremony held in the Imperial City.

Yuanhui and Wu Xian helplessly stood outside the auction house, rubbing their faces as if trying to clean off dirt, making themselves not look too shabby.

"Don't we look nothing like the noble elites worth billions?"

"It's okay!" Wu Xian grinned, "We are wealthy billionaires!"

"Heh."

Yuanhui chuckled self-deprecatingly and squeezed into the crowd towards the auction house.

The auction house had two sections — the outside, although spacious, didn't have highly valued items for trading, more like a viewing area.

As for the majority of good stuff... well, they were all being auctioned inside!

Of course, to bid for something satisfying in there, the amount of gold in hand should be... heh, not less than a few billion!!!

Yuanhui wandered around the magnificent auction house's exterior, where even rare Xuan-grade medicines were not considered particularly rare. As for divine medicines that could restore spiritual power, Yuanhui spotted some, but most were only at the initial Xuan-grade level.

In the past, such early-stage medicines that could restore mental power would have been acceptable.

But now, Wu Xian and Yuanhui had transcended the Empowered Realm, significantly improving their strength, no longer the newcomers who were pinned to the ground by mere Illusion Beasts.

However, their good mood was short-lived as when entering the inner gate of the auction house, Yuanhui was stopped by a guard. Hearing that entry required the payment of ten gold pieces, his face couldn't help darkening. Just stepping inside required paying ten gold pieces, the Han family of West Zhou was truly ruthless!

Ten gold pieces were equivalent to ten million gold coins! Just like that... sigh!

After muttering in his heart, Yuanhui had no choice but to obediently pay the ten gold pieces, and the blocking guard then stepped aside.

"Sorry, this is just a deposit, to prevent theft during the auction... oh, but rest assured, after the event, our Han family will naturally return it in full!"

"Oh..."

Satisfied, Yuanhui nodded. Although for many present, ten million was just petty cash, for Yuanhui, it was a fortune!

"Hmph, back then, our entire Wu family's annual income wasn't even this much?"

As Yuanhui was about to enter, a commotion suddenly broke out not far behind him.

Sensing the commotion, Yuanhui curiously turned around, only to see in the crowd, a path was made, revealing several figures under his gaze.
