Forty years are enough for a baby to grow into a strong man with big arms and a round waist, and for a young child with spiritual roots to become a low- and middle-level immortal cultivator. But this amount of time, for an ancient city that has been passed down for millions of years, is just a fraction of a second.
Yuyang City is one of the first ancient cities established in the Tianyuan Realm from the beginning of the Three Realms.
Although it is only a medium-sized city, and the successive city lords have no plans to expand it, the city has remained stable in the previous outbreaks of beasts, and has never encountered even a major danger.
This kind of weird thing happened because this city is one of the few mortal cities with the most body refiners, and it is well-known even in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
It is said that the current Tianyuan Sage Emperor had practiced the body training technique to the extreme in Yuyang City and made a big name before leaving.
There are countless kinds of body refining sects and sects in this city, and there are many high-level body refining practitioners that are rare in other places in the city. And in the center of the city, there is a "Holy Pagoda" dedicated to collecting various body training methods and experience. The amount of storage and rich content in it is one of the best in Tianyuan Mirror.
Attracted by the above things, there are countless low and mid-level body refiners flocking to this city every year. With such a powerful force, some mere animal hordes naturally couldn't pose the slightest threat.
In addition, Yuyang City is also a well-known manufacturing place of spiritual tools in Tianyuan City. Every year, a large number of spiritual tools are born in the city, and are purchased by body refiners or large and small businesses in the city.
Among them, several auction houses that specialize in auctioning rare spiritual implements are even more profitable because of this.
In the hands of these auction houses, there are naturally several extraordinary spirit tool masters in their hands.
The so-called "spiritual tool masters" are just like alchemists and formation masters among monks, who specialize in refining spiritual tools.
It's just that these people are a little special, first of all they must have practiced a certain amount of body refining skills, and at the same time have a little attainment in the formation method, and they must also have a strong natural mind.
Only after all three are prepared can one become a spirit tool master. If one wants to become one of the spiritual tool masters, one needs a lot of practice and a certain amount of talent.
And the spiritual tool masters mastered by these auction houses are naturally the best among them. The spiritual implements they produce are not only extremely powerful, but also have incredible auxiliary supernatural powers.
Of course, this kind of spiritual tool is carefully crafted, and it usually takes half a year or a few months to produce one piece, but each piece will shine in the auction and be bought at a sky-high price.
Longxing Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in Yuyang City. It has not been around for a long time, but its reputation is no less than that of other old shops with a long history.
The owner of the auction house naturally became a person of considerable status in the city.
But on this day, in a hall of Longxing Auction House, an obese man wearing a splendid robe was walking back and forth in the hall.
He looked towards the door from time to time, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"Feng Er! Go to the door and check to see if Master Han is here." After a while, the fat man stopped and couldn't help shouting outside.
"Yes, sir!"
A young man's voice immediately agreed, and then there was the sound of pedaling footsteps, and gradually disappeared.
After walking for a while, the fat man seemed a little parched, and his huge buttocks sat down on a wooden chair, making a terrible sound of "creaking" and "creaking".
The fat man didn't worry that the thing he was sitting on might be crushed by his huge body, but he grabbed a teapot on the table next to him and poured several sips of tea into it without any demeanor.
"Why, Brother Fan is so angry, is he in good health?" A clear voice came from outside the door, and then a person came directly from outside.
"Brother Han, you're finally here. Why didn't Feng Er, you son of a bitch, tell me?" Seeing the man, the fat man who had been sitting comfortably jumped up and ran over, his fat chin trembling with joy.
"Feng Er, you don't have to blame him, I let him stay outside."
This is a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, with slight wrinkles on his forehead, and three long black beards on his chin, but he is holding a long package in his hand, looking at the fat man who is coming with a smile that is not a smile.
Listen to the tone, the two are very familiar with each other!
"Haha, although I know that Brother Han has never missed an appointment, but this matter is really important. It is related to my younger brother's decades of hard work in Yuyang City. Naturally, I am a little concerned about gains and losses. Is this the thing that Brother Han built with his own hands?" Fatty Sweeping the long bundle in the hands of the middle-aged man, his face was full of excitement.
"That's right, brother Fan can take a look at it first." The middle-aged man smiled slightly, handed the long bag in his hand to the fat man, and sat down on a nearby chair calmly.
The fat man surnamed Fan was not polite, he put the long bag on the table, opened it hurriedly, and revealed a three-foot long sword with a light golden scabbard, and three pieces of different colors were inlaid on the hilt. The spirit stone is actually a seemingly extraordinary spiritual tool.
When the fat man saw the sword, he became cautious in his movements. Holding the hilt with one hand, he slowly pulled out the sword.
After a clear cry like a dragon's chant, a group of golden glows appeared in Fatty's eyes, and then turned into a small golden dragon, swaying wildly in front of him.
Fatty's eyes lit up, and he shook the hilt of his sword, and the golden snake's light suddenly shrank, turning into a golden dragon-patterned long sword, which appeared in his hand.
"Wonderful, wonderful! This is definitely the only top-level spiritual tool that has appeared in Yuyang City in a hundred years. It has the incredible supernatural power of transforming into a tool. Haha, with this sword, Zhu Douyan and the others How can you argue with me. Brother Han, you have done me a big favor this time." After the fat man put the long sword back into its sheath, he suddenly hugged the sword, grinned wildly, and laughed all the time. The color of happiness on the face.
"It's nothing, the material you provided is good enough to refine this spiritual tool. 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 show any overjoyed expression. After taking a sip of tea, he said.
"Hey, this is also the big brother! If you change those guys who don't match their names, how can they have such abilities." The fat man said with a smile.
"You don't need to flatter me. This sword is the last spiritual tool I will create for you. I will leave Yuyang City in a while. I probably will never come back again." The middle-aged man smiled, but suddenly said The fat man came dumbfounded.
"Brother, what are you talking about. You want to leave Yuyang City! Why? Could it be that the servants I sent to serve you didn't do their best. Say something, and I'll send someone to break their dog legs immediately, and put them back on for you immediately." Come in a batch." After the fat man woke up, he immediately became anxious.
"I made a mistake in my cultivation back then. If it wasn't for Brother Fan who happened to pass by and help me. I couldn't break through the bottleneck that time. So over the past few decades, I have handed over all the spiritual tools I have built to you for auction alone. And keep my name incognito, and never let people know my real existence, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness. Now Longxing Auction House is one of the largest auction houses in the city. After dedicating this sword to the city lord, it is estimated that it will Become the largest family. The few apprentices you entrusted to me may not be able to learn my perfect spirit equipment refining technique, but it is more than enough to learn five or six points, which is enough for your future auctions. You should know, What I really care about is the cultivation of the body refining technique, and the creation of spiritual equipment is only done occasionally. And if I stay here, I will not gain anything." The middle-aged man said slowly.
"Could it be that Brother Han's cultivation has encountered a bottleneck again!" Fatty was startled when he heard the other party's last words.
The middle-aged man listened, but just laughed without saying a word.
The fat man was stunned.
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 shot dead suddenly and killed more than a dozen middle-level body trainers who invaded his mansion. The frightening cultivation he displayed was by no means inferior to those high-ranking body refiners in the city. Now that he has encountered a bottleneck again, doesn't that mean that as long as he breaks through the bottleneck, his cultivation will improve again. At that time, wouldn't this Brother Han's cultivation be unbelievably terrifying.
"Brother Fan, as long as he knows about this matter. Speaking of it, I would like to thank my brother for keeping his mouth shut all these years, never leaking my existence, and collecting a lot of secret medicine pills for me that are useful for promoting body refining. But you My fate is over, so Han can only leave here!" After the middle-aged man finished his last sentence, he stood up unhurriedly, cupped his hands briefly, and walked towards the hall door without looking back.
And the fat man moved his lips twice, but in the end he didn't say any dissuading words, but after the middle-aged man disappeared at the door, a look of sadness flashed across his fat face.
Rescuing the other party back then was probably the most correct thing he had ever done in his life. The other party helped him, such an unknown small businessman, to become a pivotal figure in Yuyang City by himself. But because of this, the other party felt that the kindness had been reported, and left without hesitation.
Naturally, he couldn't say anything to keep the other party.
Outside the auction house with the surname Long, the middle-aged man stepped out of the gate, raised his legs and rode on a war beast that looked like an elk, and went straight to the nearest city gate.
Several hours later, the middle-aged man appeared on a slope more than a dozen miles away from Yuyang City. He glanced at the huge city wall in the distance, and suddenly jumped off the beast, slamming his sleeve robe on his face. .
An incredible scene appeared.
After the sleeve robe was put down, not only did the three strands of long beard fall off, but the middle-aged face also suddenly became abnormally young, turning into the appearance of a young man in his twenties.
And looking at his face, it was Han Li who went to fetch treasures with the monks of Jin Yuzong.
Han Li glanced indifferently at the city wall in the distance, and suddenly turned around, not even riding the war beast, and strode away into the distance.
Not long after, his figure turned into a black spot and disappeared into the wilderness.
