Chapter 841 The List
"Don't look at me like that. Since you could discover my defensive formations, you must have some skill in formation arts."
"I don't mind telling you."
"The flow of aura on a martial artist's body, no matter how hidden, can be sensed by spirit-sensitive demonic beasts."
"My formation is precisely for this purpose."
As the old man spoke, pride radiated from his face.
A wry smile appeared on Chen Yang's face, but inside, the old man's heart churned with a tempest.
His formation sounded extremely formidable, but it was only that. The reason behind the formation was not as mystical as he claimed; it was because the invitation card in Chen Yang's hand emitted a faint trace of spiritual energy.
The old man knew martial artists had been lingering outside the manor, but he was unaware of their age or cultivation level. His only source of information was the faint spiritual energy from the invitation card.
When Chen Yang appeared before him just now, he thought the man was merely a cautious Grandmaster realm martial artist.
After all, Chen Yang was so young; he couldn't possibly be stronger than a Grandmaster at most.
But just now, when he mentioned his formation, the spiritual energy that flickered across Chen Yang's face due to his emotional fluctuation made him aghast!
Peak Grandmaster!
Such a young Peak Grandmaster!
Even though the old man had experienced many unbelievable things in recent days, he couldn't help but be shocked upon seeing such a young Peak Grandmaster.
When the old man snapped back to his senses, a possibility suddenly struck him, and he hurriedly sent this news into the manor.
The person in charge of planning the auction in the manor did not immediately approach Chen Yang. Instead, they inquired about the whereabouts of Chen Yang's invitation card.
Upon hearing that it was given to several informants who had spread the news, the person in charge of the auction immediately investigated Chen Yang's background.
Logically speaking, with Chen Yang's identity, even if he were a major informant, they wouldn't dare to reveal information carelessly.
However, this time, the informant who gave Chen Yang the invitation card provided Chen Yang's identity information without omitting a single word.
"Chen Yang, Peak Grandmaster, Hall Master of the Hall of Heavenly Physicians!"
...
After Chen Yang entered the manor, someone immediately led him to a guest room on the first floor.
Inside the room was a list, the item list for this auction. Except for the last few mysterious items that were not on the list, all other auctioned items were marked with their uses and reserve prices.
The medicinal ingredient Chen Yang needed this time was a type of heavenly material and earthly treasure.
This type of medicinal ingredient was rarely seen elsewhere in years. If it were put up for auction elsewhere, it would be a finale item.
To Chen Yang's surprise, the medicinal ingredient was on the third page of the list.
"Blazing Fire Green Lotus, grows in hot regions, constantly absorbing the power of earth fire, can be used in medicine."
Although it didn't mention what kind of pill this Blazing Fire Green Lotus could refine, the mere phrase "can be used in medicine" was enough to prove that these people had researched the Blazing Fire Green Lotus.
Such a treasure was only on the third page, which piqued Chen Yang's interest in the items to be auctioned later.
Not only the finale items, but after Chen Yang casually flipped through a few pages, he discovered that the auctioned items marked for him were all as precious as the Blazing Fire Green Lotus.
Just as Chen Yang was engrossed in reading, a knock suddenly came from the door.
Chen Yang didn't ask who it was and directly opened the door.
The first thing he saw was a clear and elegant face.
The woman's intelligent eyes stirred something within Chen Yang's heart.
Such childlike eyes on a martial artist were a sign of returning to simplicity.
However, Chen Yang's reaction was swift. He asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"
Rong Yuqing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Old Gou said you're very sharp, but when I look at you, you seem a bit dull."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's face darkened. "You have some looks, but you don't know how to talk."
Saying this, Chen Yang was about to close the door.
But before Chen Yang could close the door completely, Rong Yuqing's foot had already wedged itself firmly in the doorframe.
A burst of inner energy erupted from Rong Yuqing's foot, pushing the door open a crack. She tilted her head and said, "You, I haven't finished speaking!"
Chen Yang frowned, helpless, and pulled the door open again. "You have ten seconds to explain why you're looking for me."
Chen Yang could tell that this woman was no ordinary martial artist, but he was here to buy things, not to cause trouble.
Rong Yuqing flashed into Chen Yang's room and, seeing the list open on the table, smiled and said, "You asked who I was? My surname is Rong, and my name is Yuqing."
"I am the person in charge of this auction. Don't underestimate me; like you, I am also a Peak Grandmaster."
Chen Yang frowned as he looked at Rong Yuqing, unable to quite figure out what kind of person she was.
Her tone did not seem like that of a martial artist who had reached the Peak Grandmaster realm.
It was more like that of a rich young lady who had never experienced the world.
But even the wealthiest family couldn't nurture such a Peak Grandmaster out of nowhere.
The Zhou family, the foremost secular family, couldn't achieve this...
Sects like the Xuan Tian Cave Mansion had this possibility.
"I'm here to ask you something. Who exactly are you?"
Rong Yuqing's gaze fell upon Chen Yang's eyes, making his mind momentarily unable to process.
Should he consider this woman pure and innocent, or foolish?
Chen Yang spread his hands. "Why should I tell you?"
Chen Yang didn't doubt that Rong Yuqing's claimed identity was false; he just didn't want to expose himself.
For this reason, he had even slightly altered his appearance.
Rong Yuqing gritted her teeth as she looked at Chen Yang. "Chen Yang, this is my auction. I decide who participates and who doesn't."
"If you don't answer my question, let alone the Blazing Fire Green Lotus, you won't be able to participate in this auction!"
When Rong Yuqing mentioned his name and his desired item, veins bulged on Chen Yang's forehead.
Only one person knew his identity and knew what he was here to do.
It was the informant he had just interacted with this afternoon!
Chen Yang had cooperated with him more than once. It was precisely because of their trust that Chen Yang often asked him to acquire items on his behalf, and he hadn't overly concealed his identity.
But Chen Yang never expected that he would be betrayed by him one day.
What made Chen Yang even more furious was that this silly woman in front of him, knowing who he was, still asked him who he was!
