Then he stopped caring about his manners and poured in several sips of tea.
That look was really devoid of style at all. He looked like a man who was so anxious that he couldn't care less about anything else.
"Why, Brother Fan is so angry, is he sick?"
At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door.
Then a person walked in directly from outside. The figure was unhurried and showed a calm and calm demeanor.
"Brother Yan, you are finally here. That bastard Feng Er, why didn't you report him?"
The fat man who was sitting peacefully jumped up when he saw the man, and his fat body suddenly became more flexible.
He hurried over and ran over, so happy that even the fat on his chin trembled.
His face was instantly filled with smiles, which showed how happy he was to see the visitor, and the anxiety he had before suddenly disappeared.
"Feng Er, you don't have to blame him, I asked him to stay outside."
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, with slight wrinkles on his forehead.
They were traces left by the years, and there were three long black beards on his chin, which added a bit of elegance to him.
At this moment, he was holding a long package in his hand, looking at the coming fat man with a half-smile.
From this look and tone, it is not difficult to tell that the two of them are very familiar with each other, and their relationship must be quite deep.
"Haha, although I know that Brother Yan has never failed to make an appointment, this matter is really important."
"As it relates to my decades of hard work in Yuyang City, I am naturally worried about gains and losses. Is this the thing that Brother Yan built with his own hands?"
The fat man said with a smile, while sweeping the long bundle in the middle-aged man's hand.
His eyes were filled with excitement instantly, as if he couldn't wait to see the treasure in the bag.
"Yes, Brother Fan can take a look at it first."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and handed the long bag to the fat man.
He calmly sat down on a nearby chair with a very relaxed posture, waiting for the fat man to check the contents of the package.
The fat man surnamed Fan was not polite and put his long bag on the table.
Then he opened it in a hurry, his movements seemed a little urgent, but he was also cautious, as if he was afraid of damaging the things inside.
As the baggage was opened, a three-foot-long sword with a pale golden scabbard was revealed.
The scabbard looked quite delicate, exuding a faint luster, and the hilt was inlaid with three spiritual stones of different colors.
It shimmered under the light, and it turned out to be an extraordinary-looking spiritual tool. Just from the appearance, you could tell that this was no ordinary thing.
When the fat man saw the sword, he became cautious in his movements. He first gently held the hilt of the sword with one hand.
As if treating a rare treasure, he then slowly pulled out the sword. The movement was slow and solemn, with a sense of ritual.
The moment the sword was pulled out, there was a clear cry like a dragon's roar, and a golden glow appeared in the fat man's eyes. The golden glow was dazzling.
Immediately afterwards, it turned into a small golden dragon and swayed in front of him. The little dragon was lifelike.
It seems to have spirituality, twisting its body in the air, looking extremely magical, and people can't help but marvel.
The fat man's eyes shone. He shook the hilt of his sword, and the golden snake's light suddenly dimmed.
The little golden dragon turned into a golden dragon-patterned sword again and appeared in his hand. The whole process was smooth and natural, fully demonstrating the wonder of this spiritual tool.
"Wonderful, wonderful! This is definitely the only top-level spiritual tool that has appeared in Yuyang City within a hundred years. It actually has the incredible magical power of transforming into a weapon."
"Haha, with this sword, how can those guys like Zhu Douyan compete with me. Brother Yan, you have done a big favor to me this time."
The fat man then put the long sword back into its sheath, then suddenly hugged the sword and laughed wildly.
The face was full of happiness, as if he had seen the wonderful scene of winning the next competition with this sword.
"It's nothing. To be able to refine this spiritual tool, it's only because the materials you provided are good enough. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to refine a top-level spiritual tool."
The middle-aged man didn't look too happy, he just took a sip of tea.
He said calmly, with a kind of humility in his tone, as if he felt that the material factors accounted for a large proportion in the success of refining this spiritual tool.
"Hey, this is my eldest brother too! How could those guys who don't deserve their names have such ability?"
The fat man said with a smile, he didn't care about that much, it was in his heart.
The reason why this spiritual tool is so outstanding is all the credit of Brother Yan in front of me. I admire Brother Yan's ability so much.
"You don't have to flatter me. This sword is the last spiritual tool I made for you. I will leave Yuyang City in a while. I probably won't come back."
The middle-aged man smiled, but suddenly said something that stunned the fat man. The news was like a bolt from the blue.
Fatty was shocked all of a sudden. He never expected that Brother Yan was going to leave, and it seemed that he had already decided to leave.
"Brother, what did you say? You want to leave Yuyang City! Why?"
"Could it be that the servants I sent to serve you didn't do their best?"
"Just tell me, and I will immediately send someone to break their legs. I will give you a new batch right away."
After the fat man woke up, he suddenly became anxious. He really couldn't bear to leave Brother Yan.
I was wondering if there was something I had not done well that made Brother Yan unhappy, so I quickly proposed to change a group of servants to take good care of him, hoping to retain Brother Yan.
"I made a mistake in my cultivation back then. If Brother Fan hadn't happened to pass by and help me, I wouldn't have been able to break through the bottleneck that time."
"So over the past few decades, I have combined all the spiritual tools I have built."
"I will give it all to you for auction alone, and I will keep my name anonymous and never let anyone know my true existence. This can be regarded as repaying your kindness."
"Now Longxing Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in the city. After presenting this sword to the city lord, it is estimated that it will also become the largest one."
"Those apprentices you entrust to me can't possibly learn ten of my spiritual tool refining skills, but five or six points are more than enough. Enough to cope with your future auctions."
"You should know that what I really care about is the practice of physical refining. The creation of spiritual tools is only done occasionally."
"And if I stay here any longer, I will gain nothing."
The middle-aged man said slowly, his tone was very calm, as if he had thought deeply about it. Explain the reason why you want to leave to the fat man clearly, hoping that he can understand your decision.
"Could it be that Brother Yan's cultivation has encountered a bottleneck again!"
The fat man was shocked when he heard the other party's last words.
He knows that encountering a bottleneck in practice is no small matter, and with Brother Yan's ability, if he encounters a bottleneck again, it will definitely be an extremely difficult situation.
The middle-aged man listened, but just smiled and said nothing. There seemed to be a lot of helplessness hidden in that smile, or maybe he had his own plans and just didn't want to say anything more.
The fat man was stunned. He felt very complicated. On the one hand, he was reluctant to leave Brother Yan, and on the other hand, he was worried about Brother Yan's cultivation situation.
Others don't know how powerful the person in front of him is, but he knows it clearly.
When he was in danger ten years ago, it was this friend who suddenly took action.
In one breath, he killed more than a dozen mid-level body refiners who invaded his mansion.
That scene could be described as thrilling. The terrifying cultivation that Brother Yan displayed was definitely not inferior to those of the high-level body refiners in the city.
Now that we have encountered a bottleneck again, doesn't it mean that as long as we break through the bottleneck, our cultivation level will improve again.
At that time, wouldn't Brother Yan's cultivation level be incredibly terrifying?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Brother Yan's future was limitless, and at the same time, he became more and more worried about whether Brother Yan could successfully break through the bottleneck this time.
"As long as Brother Fan knows about this."
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for keeping tight-lipped all these years, never leaking my existence, and collecting a large number of secret pills for me that are useful in promoting body refining skills."
"But the fate between you and me has ended, so Yan can only say goodbye!"
After the middle-aged man said the last sentence, he stood up calmly.
After briefly handing over his hands, he walked towards the hall door without looking back. His back looked quite decisive, as if he had already made up his mind and there would be no more nostalgia or hesitation.
The fat man moved his lips twice, but in the end he did not say any words of dissuasion.
Although he felt extremely reluctant to give up, he also knew that once Brother Yan made a decision.
That is difficult to change, and the person has indeed repaid all the kindness, and there is no suitable reason for him to try to stay.
But after the middle-aged man disappeared at the door, a sad look flashed across his fat face, and his lonely expression showed the loss and reluctance in his heart at this moment.
Saving the other party back then was probably the most correct thing he had ever done in his life.
The other party single-handedly helped an unknown small businessman like him.
He became a very important figure in Yuyang City, allowing him to have his current status and wealth. He has always kept this kindness in mind.
However, because of this, the other party felt that the kindness had been repaid and left without hesitation. Naturally, he could no longer say anything to retain the other party.
Outside the Longxing Auction House, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate and climbed onto a beast that looked like an elk.
Heading straight to the city gate nearest here, the war beast ran very fast, bringing up a cloud of dust and carrying the middle-aged man away in the blink of an eye.
A few hours later, the middle-aged man appeared on a slope more than ten miles away from Yuyang City. He reined in the war beast and stopped.
He glanced at the behemoth city wall in the distance. The city wall was tall and majestic, witnessing the changes of Yuyang City over the years. At this moment, it seemed to have a different meaning in the eyes of the middle-aged people.
Suddenly, he jumped off the battle beast and waved his sleeve robe suddenly towards his face. The movement was clean and neat, with a mysterious feeling.
An incredible scene occurred.
After putting down his sleeves and robe, not only did the three strands of his long beard fall off, but his originally middle-aged face suddenly became extremely young.
He transformed into a young man in his twenties, with a rather delicate face.
But there is a kind of calmness that has experienced the world, which is completely different from the previous middle-aged image, as if he is a different person.
Judging from his face, it was Yan Yun who went to retrieve the treasure with the monks of the Jinyu Sect.
Yan Yun glanced at the city wall in the distance. There seemed to be some emotion for the city in his eyes, or a trace of relief from past experiences.
Suddenly, he turned around and stopped riding the war beast, just striding away into the distance.
The steps were firm and powerful, revealing a resolute determination, as if there was something ahead that he must pursue.
Not long after, his figure turned into a black dot and gradually disappeared into the wilderness, leaving only the empty wilderness, which seemed to tell the story of his departure.
The distance between Yuyang City and Anyuan City in the past was so far that even Yanyun could walk at a speed that was much faster than an ordinary person.
Rushing like flying, it took more than half a year to return to the ruins of Anyuan City.
This journey has been full of hardships.
Yan Yun traveled over mountains and ridges. In order to ensure safety as much as possible, he tried to walk in places with more people.
But even so, the distance between cities is too big, and many times we still have to walk through the uninhabited wilderness.
During this long journey, he encountered many dangers. He killed many ordinary beasts alone, and even encountered five or six low-level monsters.
Of course, this was also because he was walking alone in the wilderness, and when those low-level monsters saw that he was alone and weak, they began to attack.
If there is really a large group of humans walking around, most of these low-level monsters will not dare to take action. After all, they also know how to weigh the pros and cons and will not easily provoke groups of humans.
The ruins of Anyuan City have not been seen for so many years, and they have not changed much from when Yan Yun left.
There are still ruins stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see, as if they are silently telling the story of the past prosperity and current ruin. The ruins were also covered with a thick layer of dust.
The dust was gently raised by the breeze, adding an air of desolation and loneliness to the ruins.
Yan Yun stood nearby quietly for a while without moving. His eyes slowly scanned the ruins, but he kept thinking secretly in his heart.
His thoughts drifted back to all the things he had experienced here in the past, and at the same time he was also thinking about his current cultivation situation and his next plans.
Yan Yun's practice of Diamond Art has reached the bottleneck stage of the seventh level, and the progress of this practice is much faster than originally expected.
This is due to the fact that the spiritual energy in the spiritual world is far denser than the human world and the spiritual energy filling the body is extremely effective, making his cultivation more effective with half the effort.
Also thanks to the transformation of his body through various elixirs and fruits, his physical talent has far exceeded the limits of human beings, laying a solid foundation for him to practice this Vajra Art.
Thinking back then, he followed the man surnamed Qin and others into the monster's lair, and relied on his rich knowledge and magical powers to easily get the Blood Yin Zhi in his hand. (End of chapter)
