Chapter 184 - Auction?

Lu Sulan saw Jiu Shen coming out of the beast fighting arena, so she told her disciples to walk faster. After getting nearer, she was a bit surprised to see the ten youths behind Jiu Shen since she knew who they were. ’These kids. Aren’t they part of those youths that are personally trained by master? How the hell did their strength and cultivation level increase by this much in such a short time?! Looking at their aura, their cultivation seems to be stable and not shaky at all! Amazing! Only master can accomplish this. Hehe.’

After a moment of amazement, a smile blossomed on Lu Sulan’s face as she stared at Jiu Shen. "Greetings, master."

The ten young ladies behind Lu Sulan also bowed respectfully as they greeted Jiu Shen in tender voices. "Greetings, grandmaster."

The group of youths behind Jiu Shen glanced at these young ladies with curiosity, and they were quite surprised when they sensed that their cultivation level was actually similar or even greater than their own.

Jiu Shen smiled at Lu Sulan before he took a glance at the ten ladies behind her. He knew four among them since they were the first waitresses in his store. They were Xiao Hua and her three friends. Xiao Hua was still at the peak stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader realm, but it won’t be long before she could break through to the next realm. As for her three friends, although they were weaker than Xiao Hua, they were all at the early stage of the 4th-rank Knight Crusader realm.

"This is Lu Sulan, my first disciple. Come and greet her." Jiu Shen beckoned to the youths behind him as he introduced Lu Sulan. They already knew who she was because they always see Lu Sulan together with Jiu Shen, so they immediately greeted her with respect.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Lu."

Lu Sulan smiled at them for a moment before she shifted her gaze at her master. She then asked him. "Master, are you also planning to let these kids join the martial arts competition?"

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly as he replied. "Indeed. And since you’re already here, you might as well come with us to the imperial palace to register."

Lu Sulan’s eyes lit up and she nodded her head. "Yes, master. We will follow you to the imperial palace."

The young ladies behind her were also excited when they heard that. They had received Jiu Shen’s guidance in sword techniques for the past month and their comprehension and skills improved by a margin. Because of this, they treated him with respect and admiration.

Thus, Jiu Shen and Lu Sulan went to the imperial palace together with twenty young men and women.

Jiu Shen waved his right hand as he produced twenty-two flying swords using the element of wind. The green-colored flying swords that were about two meters long and twelve inches wide hovered three meters above the ground.

"Wow! Are these flying swords?"

"Cool! The grandmaster actually has this kind of skill. Amazing!"

Looking at this, everyone was stunned and they could help but praise Jiu Shen, and even Lu Sulan was dumbstruck at this. ’What a splendid control of the wind element! Even I could not do this...’

"With this, we will arrive much faster in the imperial palace. Everyone, hop onto these flying swords. Just sit cross-legged on the flying sword and I’ll do the rest." Jiu Shen said as he jumped onto one of the flying swords with graceful movements. Swoosh.

Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

After hearing his words, Yang Zenke, Han Sen, and their buddies immediately leaped onto the swords and sat cross-legged with eager expressions. They were quite excited at the thought of flying through the skies with a flying sword.

"G-Grandmaster, we wouldn’t fall from this, right?" One of the young ladies behind Lu Sulan voiced out her concern with a timid look on her pretty face.

After hearing her words, the other young women felt a bit worried as well. Although they were cultivators, they would still die if they fall from the skies...

Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart when he heard that, but he still out on a serious look as he replied in a calm tone. "You don’t have to worry about falling since I will be the one controlling the flight of these swords. And even if you did fall, I will immediately rescue you."

The young girls felt much upon hearing that, and they promptly hopped onto the swords before sitting cross-legged. Their faces were pale and excited at the same time.

Lu Sulan smiled apologetically at her master. Her disciples might have strong cultivation levels for their age, but they haven’t experienced any life and death situations yet which made them no different than ordinary girls.

"Master, I heard that there will be an auction tonight in the Silver Dragon Auction House. And I heard that a few rare treasures will be auctioned as well. I’d like to see whether there is some truth to this rumor." Lu Sulan suddenly said.

Upon hearing that, Jiu Shen’s curiosity was piqued. Although Nuar’s resources were poor and low-level for him, he kinda missed the atmosphere inside an auction house, so he was a bit interested in this.

"It looks like you have already decided about this beforehand. In that case, I will come with you to this auction and see if I could buy something for these young men." Jiu Shen said.

A beautiful smile appeared on Lu Sulan’s face upon hearing that. "Good! I will also bring these little girls with me to gain some experience."

It didn’t take them a long time to arrive in the imperial palace, and upon their arrival, they saw thousands of young people lining up for the registration of the martial arts competition.

"Eh? So many people! It looks like we can’t attend the auction tonight. They should be the last batch of participants that wants to register." Lu Sulan was a bit annoyed and helpless when she saw a huge number of people outside the imperial palace.

There were one hundred square battle platforms prepared for the coming contest, and each platform was currently used to register the young people who wanted to participate.

Looking at this, Jiu Shen furrowed his eyebrows. ’If we line up now, we wouldn’t be able to register even until tomorrow. I should inform Elyk about our arrival. He should be able to help us register faster.’

If anyone would know what Jiu Shen was thinking at this moment, they would surely not know whether to laugh or to cry. He actually wanted the emperor to cut the queue for him...
