Chapter 94: 2 Months
As soon as Tang Yin left the gambling den, he felt a thick Killing Intent directed towards him. Tang Yin sighed, this had happened too many times. Tang Yin quickly went into a nearby store, changed his appearance and disappeared from the sight of whoever was trying to follow him.
Tang Yin returned to the inn, it was night-time. Tang Yin went straight to bed. Most cultivators did not need to sleep, they could just channel Qi throughout their body once to get rid of the drowsiness.
However, Tang Yin felt sleeping was comfortable and rid him of any mental fatigue he had accumulated. Therefore, he would sleep like a mortal whenever he wanted.
The next morning, Tang Yin yawned. He did not want to get out of bed, he was feeling lazy. Tang Yin spent the whole day relaxing in bed, and when night arrived, he went to sleep.
The next morning, Tang Yin got up full of energy and spirit, he changed his appearance and headed straight for the gambling dens of Rank 2 families.
Half a month trickled by.
Tang Yin spent most of the half a month in gambling dens scouting for Gambling Stones. By now he had visited all of the gambling dens belonging to Rank 2 families.
Similarly, Tang Yin’s harvest had been quite large. Obviously, Tang Yin changed his appearance every day, nobody had broken his façade yet. He remained low and unnoticed while he quickly earned fortunes every day.
Tang Yin had accumulated a large pile of Gambling Stones of various sizes and colours inside his Navy Mountain Ring. All of the stones contained treasures whether they were big or small.
However, this was not enough for Tang Yin, he wanted to gather as many Gambling Stones housing a treasure as he could.
A month passed quietly.
Over the course of the month, Tang Yin visited nearly all of the gambling dens belonging to Rank 1 families. He had accumulated an even larger pile of Gambling Stones compared to the previous half a month.
Other than this, Tang Yin had wandered around the city looking for Gambling Stones being sold on the streets.
Tang Yin had even visited the other side of Treasure Bank City belonging to the Xia family. There was no noticeable difference except for the fact that the governor was from a different family.
Tang Yin had made sure to visit the gambling dens of Rank 2 and some Rank 1 families on that side. The amount of Gambling Stones which contained an item inside his storage ring was unnumerable. Tang Yin had decided not to dissect the Gambling Stones now. He would wait till he had collected as much as he could and open them all at once.
While on the Xia family side of Treasure Bank City, Tang Yin had heard rumours about an auction. His interest had been piqued, Tang Yin did some digging and had even managed to obtain a ticket. ƒrēewebnovel.com
The Xia family was hosting the auction. All participants must possess cultivation at or above the 6th stage of the Physique Transformation Realm. There were plenty of tickets available for sale, since Tang Yin was extraordinarily rich, he easily purchased one. The day the auction would start was today, the auction would last for a total of 3 days.
Tang Yin headed for the other side of Treasure Bank City once he left the inn early in the morning. He had changed his appearance to that of an intimidating old man, he did not conceal his cultivation.
The auction hall of the Xia family was colossal, much bigger compared to the Nie family’s auction hall in Maple Leaf City. There were 4 floors, the first floor was for normal cultivators who had purchased a ticket, the second floor was for the Patriarchs of Rank 1 families, the third floor was for Rank 2 families, and the final fourth floor was reserved for Rank 3 families such as the Lei family. There were also a few exceptions who were allowed on the fourth floor like special guests and VIPs.
Tang Yin could only attend the auction from the first floor, he did not have the intention of buying anything. He only wanted to attend the auction because this was the first time he had seen an auction of this magnitude. If there was anything that caught his fancy, he would not mind bidding for it.
Overall, this was supposed to be an experience which allowed Tang Yin to broaden his horizons.
During the first month in Treasure Bank City, Tang Yin visited various stores which sold information about the cultivation world and the vast amount of resources it housed.
Treasure Bank City did not have a public library like Maple Leaf City. If one wanted to obtain knowledge, one would need to purchase books using Spirit Stones. This was not really an issue for Tang Yin, he brought all of the books he deemed useful without being stingy or conservative.
As a result, Tang Yin wanted to assess the knowledge he had gained from the books he had purchased by recognizing the various items and their uses which would appear in the auction today.
While contemplating his thoughts absent-mindedly, Tang Yin arrived at the auction site.
