82 Cloud Auction House

After two hours, Shi Tian finally woke up after learning the astral transformation technique.

Shi Tian tried to use the astral transformation skill as he was curious to see the result. As he tried to alter his hand's muscles, he felt a weird sensation in his entire hand as his muscles started to swell a little. The process was slightly painful as well.

After a minute, Shi Tian's right arm became heavy as if it belonged to an older or fat person. Next, he tried to contrast the muscles of his right arm. A minute later, his arm looked like it belonged to a skinny person.

"This technique is not bad but looks like I have to practice this technique well If I want to change my entire body's muscles." Shi Tian thought inwardly.

Just like this, he continued to practice the astral transformation technique for hours. Although this technique was amazing, it was very time-consuming. He has to practice the skill on every muscle in his body bit by bit.

Unknowingly, he spent six hours in the room.

In the evening, Shi Tian went to Red Cloud City to sell the pills. As he walked on the street of the city, he kept thinking about the pills, how to sell them or where? He was sure that these pills should be the highest-grade pills that ever appeared in the red cloud city.

Shi Tian walked a straight line through the middle of the city while asking about the alchemy pavilion.

However, when he reached the center of the city, he suddenly stopped his steps to look at a massive group of people trying to enter the large building in front of them. They were all dressed in wealthy attires with expensive accessories all around their body, looking as though they were on their way to some party for nobles.

There were also a few individuals within that group that looked like rogue cultivators, but they were in the minority and were barely noticeable.

"What is that place?" Shi Tian stopped a random pedestrian and asked.

"The Cloud Auction House? It's an auction house that opens only once a month; it's for those who are wealthy and are looking to buy or sell rare treasures," said the pedestrian.

"An auction house, huh…" Shi Tian thought of the pills and nodded, looking as though he had decided on something.

"Thank you," he said before approaching the crowd.

Once he reached the crowd, Shi Tian focused his ears to listen to the people around him talking.

"Ning Chen, what are you trying to buy from the auction house this year?"

"Are you looking to fight me again this year? If so, then you can screw off!"

"Hahaha… don't be like that, Noble Chen. If it wasn't for my son who really needed that 70-year-old ginseng, I wouldn't have fought you for it."

"Hmph! Because of you, my son nearly destroyed the house out of anger because he wasn't able to break through without that 70-year-old ginseng!"

…

"I have heard rumors that the Cloud Auction House might be auctioning a few precious weapons this year."

"I don't care about the weapons, I come here to buy Elementary Spirit Advancement Pill. My son who is at the peak of the Elementary Spirit Realm will finally reach the Profound Spirit Realm if he had its assistance!"

...

Shi Tian was about to step forward but he suddenly remembered something. The pills would surely attract a lot of attention, he didn't want to become famous soon. He decided to alter his appearance. A minute later, Shi Tian became a 17-year-old handsome young man.

Shi Tian blended into the crowd and entered the auction house. However, he came here to sell, he needed to find someone who could help him. Shi Tian approached a beautiful young lady who looked like the staff at the auction house.

As he approached a beautiful young lady wearing a red cheongsam noticed him. Her heartbeat increased slightly seeing such a super handsome young body, her expression became amiable and she asked politely: "Hello sir, how can I help you?"

"I have a few pills that I want to auction." Shi Tian calmly looked at the girl and spoke.

The girl replied calmly, "Sir, the list of today's auction is almost filled already. But you can tell us about your product in advance. If your treasure meets our criteria, we will list your treasure in our auction. Sir, can you tell me about the pills that you want to auction? Our auction accepts only third or above-rank pills."

"I understand. Don't worry, my pills are expectations. You will not find them in the entire kingdom." Shi Tian casually said as he took out a pill from his storage ring and gave it to her. His movements were casual. "See it for yourself."

The young lady was a little surprised, she accepted the vial and opened it slowly. As soon as she opened it, strong spiritual energy came out of the vial and smashed into her face. The lady hastily closed the cap of the vial with a shocked expression.

"This.. is it a fifth-rank pill?" The young lady asked in a trembling voice. Her eyes were filled with shock as she couldn't move her gaze away from the vial.

"Yes, it is..." Shi Tian nodded.

"E-Esteemed guest, please wait a moment!" said the young lady in a hurried voice. She then beckoned one of the assistants inside the building to go to her.

"Bring this esteemed guest to the guest room and notify Madam Deng of his presence. Tell her that he has a fifth-rank pill that he'd like us to sell for him." The young lady whispered directly in the assistant's ear, who was also a pretty young lady wearing similar clothing.

Since Madam Deng would only meet with guests that have extremely rare and valuable items to sell, or when they have a profound background, the assistant instantly became alert of Shi Tian's presence.

The assistant glanced at Shi Tian's handsome face and blushed. Such a good-looking young man, he must surely be someone with an exalted background. After that, she immediately went to inform Madam Deng.

"Please follow me, esteemed guest. I will take you to a private guest room." The young lady in red looked at Shi Tian and gracefully beckoned him to enter.

"Sure!" Shi Tian nodded as he followed her inside.

When the other guests saw how the servants from the Cloud Auction House treated Shi Tian with such respect, they all intensively looked at him, looking as though they were trying to engrave his face into their memories.

After Shi Tian entered the building, he was led to a large room with expensive furniture.

"Esteemed guest, please wait a moment. Madam Deng will arrive soon," The young lady in red said politely.

Shi Tian sat down on the sofa; the young lady brewed fresh tea for him. Shi Tian leisurely sat on the sofa as he drank the tea brewed by the young lady. While the young lady obediently stood down on the side quietly and peeked at his handsome face from time to time.

Shi Tian was curious about the auction as it was his first visit. He asked the young lady who answered all of his questions calmly. By the way, this young lady was called Shao, she was

Turned out, this cloud auction house belonged to the imperial family of the Red Cloud Kingdom. This auction was the biggest auction house in the kingdom. And the manager of this auction house was a close subordinate of her majesty.

A few minutes after Shi Tian finished drinking tea, the door to the room slowly opened, and an extremely beautiful woman wearing a revealing black cheongsam entered the room.

Shi Tian glanced at the woman who'd just entered. She had long black hair with a small red hair accessory in her hair. Her eyes were sharp and clear, and her naturally seductive figure was undoubtedly alluring enough to halt the steps of any man in the streets that looked at her.

'Looks like I made the right call.' Shi Tian thought inwardly. He met this woman in the palace when he went to visit Li Suyin. If he hadn't changed his appearance, he would have been exposed.

Deng Jiao looked at the young man and was surprised a little. 'What a good-looking boy!' A thought appeared in her mind. She observed him for a moment, she was sure that he was a native of Red Cloud City otherwise she would have heard of him. His poster was carefree, his expression was gentle and warm. Because Shi Tian was wearing a disguise, she wasn't able to recognize him.

Deng Jiao noticed a moment of surprise in his gaze when he saw her but it faded away soon which surprised her a little. Normally people find it hard to move their gaze away from her when they see her for the first time but this guy's expression was serene. She didn't feel disgusted by her stare.

She concluded that this young man should come from a prominent family.
