CHAPTER 292: PURPLE

Instead, they were squeezed into what felt like a tube and an incense stick later, they finally landed on solid ground.

"How uncomfortable." Shen Xu couldn’t help but complain.

"Mmh." Zhen Yuan nodded with a distracted expression.

"What’s wrong?" The double questioned, pinching Zhen Yuan’s waist to draw his attention.

[Purple law pillar.] Zhen Yuan responded.

[Purple? What do you mean?]

[There is a purple law pillar in this city.]

[What does that mean? Do law pillars have different colours?]

[Including this one, I have encountered three purple law pillars. All others are silver.] Zhen Yuan revealed with a thoughtful expression.

[What’s special about the treasures that have purple law pillars?]

Hearing the question, Zhen Yuan didn’t answer right away but instead took Shen Xu’s hand and began walking towards the purple law pillar.

[The treasures with purple law pillars have one thing in common; they belong to me.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

[What do you mean?] He asked.

[The first is the law scripting brush, and the other is the law tree. Also, I already feel a kind of pull from this third treasure.]

Shen Xu was surprised when he heard this.

At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, as if trying to see the law pillar.

Unfortunately, all he saw was buildings and people going on with their lives.

’It’s a pity.’ He thought, but didn’t dwell on it.

[I seem to have a predetermined destiny with purple law-pillar treasures.]

Hearing this, the double’s expression became a little solemn.

However, he only squeezed his lover’s hand but didn’t say anything.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the Inscription Tower City’s main branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

[The treasure is in here.] Zhen Yuan said, and Shen Xu tilted his head with a thoughtful expression.

Before knowing the treasure’s location, he feared they would have to rob an unlucky person.

However, now that he knew it was in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, he felt relieved and happy.

After all, buying was easier and more preferable than robbing.

"Let’s go in." He excitedly said, pulling Zhen Yuan into the shop.

Because it was Inscription Tower City’s main branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, the shop was uncommonly large.

It had ten floors and the area was about three thousand square metres.

Seeing them enter, an attendant immediately rushed to them.

"Two guests, welcome to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion." The female attendant said with a respectful voice.

"Is there anything I can help with?" She asked.

"We have just arrived in the Inscription Tower City and don’t know how things are arranged in this branch of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Can you introduce the general arrangement to us?"

"Certainly." The female said and quickly continued.

"The first seven floors correspond to the cultivation realm – the first floor for qi refining realm resources and the seventh for fusion realm resources."

Hearing this, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu exchanged a glance and silently decided to explore the upper floors.

"What about the top three floors?" The double asked, and the attendant nodded before explaining.

"The top three floors contain precious and rare treasures. Most of these treasures can’t be bought with spirit stones."

After saying that, the attendant smiled and glanced at the two.

"You have just arrived and may not know that the Inscription Tower City will hold its once-in-a-century auction at the end of next year. In preparation, the tenth floor has been turned into a display floor for some of the treasures that will appear in the auction."

"Is that so?" Shen Xu couldn’t help but be excited when he heard about the auction.

After all, it had been a while since he and Zhen Yuan attended one.

Thinking of the treasures that would appear in the auction, he smiled and began plotting ways to accumulate more spirit stones.

"Can we go to the tenth floor?" He asked, and the attendant immediately nodded.

"The tenth floor is open to the public. However, the sixth, seventh, and ninth floors are closed to ordinary cultivators."

"What if we want to go to those floors?"

"You either need the corresponding cultivation level or be accompanied by a void or fusion realm cultivator."

After that, the attendant took the two to the tenth floor.

The tenth floor didn’t have shelves.

Instead, it had stands and on each was a treasure.

From a casual glance, Shen Xu counted more than five hundred stands and consequently, more than five hundred treasures.

"We change the treasures on the stands every month." The female attendant revealed with a proud expression.

"Can the treasures be bought in advance?" Shen Xu asked, but the woman shook her head.

"All the treasures displayed on this floor can only be bought at the auction."

Hearing this, Shen Xu frowned and turned to Zhen Yuan.

[Ayuan, do you see it?] He asked, and Zhen Yuan nodded with a distracted expression.

[I see it.]

[Which one is it?]

[The book. Near the West wall.]

The book was thick, like a ten-thousand-page manuscript.

It had a purple cover with no writing on the front.

At a glance, the book looked ordinary, but since it was displayed on the tenth floor and even had a law pillar, Shen Xu knew it was extraordinary.

Excluding the book, the double saw many notable treasures.

Unfortunately, their group’s cultivation was too high, and the displayed treasures were useless for them

’If we want something useful, we must enter the sixth, seventh, and ninth floors or wait for the auction.’ Shen Xu thought and sighed in resignation.

A moment later, he turned to the female attendant.

"How do we get invitations to the auction?"

"There are three ways." The woman said and quickly continued.

"The first is to buy an invitation. However, cultivators at and below the spirit transformation realm can only buy third-class or ordinary tickets."

"Please explain." Shen Xu said, handing the woman one hundred spirit stones.

Seeing this, the woman smiled and became more enthusiastic.
