Chapter 36 White Dragon City
Hearing Qin Hao agree, Su Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She had accepted this mission a long time ago but hadn't set off yet, which had already taken up a lot of her time. If Qin Hao rejected her like Luo Li had, she would be in real trouble.
"In that case, junior, is there anything else you need to prepare? If not, let's set off for White Dragon City immediately."
"Immediately? So urgent?"
"Does your junior still have anything to do?" Su Xuan asked.
Qin Hao shook his head. "No, I'm just a little surprised."
Su Xuan smiled and said, "Mainly because I've already accepted this mission for a while, and now that the team is complete, it's best to set off as soon as possible."
"Understood, let's set off then."
Led by Su Xuan, Qin Hao met with the three people who had accompanied him.
One is Su Xuan's younger sister, Su Ling'er, whose face is somewhat similar to Su Xuan's, but whose personality is more lively.
The remaining two are a man and a woman, both of whom are listed on the Heavenly Ranking.
The man was Guo Xiong, ranked twentieth on the Heavenly Ranking. He was tall and burly, giving off a strong sense of pressure, but he had a straightforward smile on his face, making him seem easy to get along with.
The woman's name was Li Qing, ranked twenty-third on the Heavenly Ranking. She was tall and voluptuous with an exaggeratedly sexy figure that was very eye-catching. However, her face was rather cold, giving people a feeling that strangers should not approach her.
Both of them were at the half-step Transcendent Realm, only one step away from the Transcendent Realm. It is likely that they also wanted to take this step to break through to the Transcendent Realm through this spiritual treasure.
"Gentlemen, this is Qin Hao, our last companion on this trip. I'm sure you're all familiar with him."
Su Xuan began to introduce herself.
Upon seeing Qin Hao's arrival, both Guo Xiong and Li Qing's expressions changed, and they showed more respect.
"So it's Junior Brother Qin, I've long admired your name," Guo Xiong said, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, junior," Li Qing said, bowing in return.
Although the two are older than Qin Hao and have been members of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy for a longer time, they are Qin Hao's seniors.
But the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy is a place where strength speaks volumes.
Qin Hao challenged Li Xuantong and climbed to second place on the Heavenly Ranking, a feat that naturally earned the respect of both of them.
"You're too kind, seniors," Qin Hao said, bowing in return.
Su Xuan then spoke up, "Now that everyone knows each other, let's set off. I will tell you the details of the mission along the way."
Qin Hao and the others nodded in agreement, having no objections.
"Our destination is White Dragon Hill, located in the central part of the Northern Cang Continent, about three days' journey from the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy."
According to the mission information, this secret treasure is a Heavenly Treasure, left behind by a cultivator at the Heavenly Realm.
The news that the secret treasure is about to be revealed should have already spread throughout White Dragon Hill, and many powerful cultivators will gather there.
Even though we are students of the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy, we still need to be careful.
When it really comes down to a life-or-death battle, the cultivators outside won't hold back in the slightest.
Su Xuan spoke, her gaze turning to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao was the only one among the five who had never left the Northern Cang Spiritual Academy for training, so her reminder was mainly directed at him.
However, seeing Qin Hao's unchanging expression, she knew she had been worrying too much.
She didn't see a trace of nervousness on Qin Hao's face, as if he were already used to this kind of thing.
This is also due to Qin Hao's upbringing.
As one of the nine domains of the Northern Spirit Realm, and neighboring the ambitious Willow Domain, the Thunder Domain has been constantly invaded by the Willow Domain, resulting in countless clashes of varying sizes.
Growing up in such an environment, Qin Hao was naturally not a flower grown in a greenhouse.
After flying for three consecutive days, the outline of a huge city appeared before Qin Hao and his group.
Su Xuan pointed to the city ahead and said, "We're almost there. This is White Dragon City, the only city within White Dragon Hill."
This is also our temporary stop. After entering the city, we'll rest here for a while and inquire about the Spirit Treasure.
Upon entering White Dragon City, Su Xuan quickly led everyone to a place to stay, and then said, "Next, we'll go to the trading area of White Dragon City. When a spiritual treasure of the Tongtian level appears, there's usually a lot of news about it in advance."
The trading area is where we can most easily gather intelligence.
Clearly, Su Xuan had done this kind of task many times before; she was very skilled at it and had her own set of procedures.
Qin Hao and the others did not refuse, after all, they knew that even if they searched blindly, they would not be able to find the location of the spirit's treasure.
The trading area of White Dragon City is located in the city center and can be said to be the most prosperous place in White Dragon City. There is a constant flow of people, and many merchants and vendors sell items such as spiritual weapons, spirit beast essences, and spiritual techniques in this area.
Qin Hao and his group attracted a lot of attention as they walked through the trading area.
The three women, Su Xuan and Su Xuan, were all quite beautiful, each with a different temperament—gentle, aloof, and playful—which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Especially Li Qing, with her stunning figure, attracted many eyes that lingered on her alluring form.
After weaving through the crowd, Qin Hao and his group quickly arrived at the depths of the trading area.
Here stands a grand hall, its entrance guarded by well-equipped guards who constantly check the identities of those entering and leaving.
Su Xuan said, "This is the auction house in the trading area, which belongs to the Jiuxia Chamber of Commerce, one of the three major chambers of commerce in the Northern Cang Continent. Any good items in the trading area will be auctioned here."
This also provides a good opportunity to see which forces have come for this spiritual treasure.
As she spoke, Su Xuan led Qin Hao and the others toward the auction house, and casually paid the entrance fee for the five of them to enter.
After walking down a long corridor, the group entered the auction hall.
After finding a seat, Qin Hao began to observe the auction room.
The layout of the auction venue was no different from that of a regular auction venue, except that the venue was larger.
The auction hall is currently more than 70% full, which shows that the auction hall is very popular.
"We might be in big trouble this time," Su Xuan said softly.
"What's wrong, senior? Did you find out something?" Qin Hao asked.
Su Xuan pointed in several directions, "See those people? They are from White Dragon City, Heavenly Gang Sword Sect, and Earth Path Sect. These three forces are the three overlords of White Dragon Hill."
Normally, the three parties would stay within their own spheres of influence, so it's rare to see them gather in White Dragon City like this.
I suspect their goal is most likely the same as ours.
Upon hearing this, Li Qing and Guo Xiong exchanged a glance, their expressions turning somewhat grim.
The simultaneous appearance of the three major forces clearly disrupted their plans.
The only one who could remain calm was Qin Hao.
The reason is nothing more than strength!
With sufficient strength to back him up, he naturally remained very calm in the face of these situations.
Although he doesn't have the power to suppress the entire world, his strength on White Dragon Hill is still considerable.
