Divine King of Honour
Chapter 850 - 850: Not Enough Money

Next, Xu Nian and Long Tian'er embarked on their journey to Tianbao Pavilion together.

However, what Xu Nian did not expect was that the Cloud Thunder Star was incredibly enormous.

It was ten times larger than Tianlan Star.

To reach Tianbao Pavilion, they would need at least a month's time.

According to what they heard, the auction at Tianbao Pavilion was set to happen in twenty-eight days.

This left Xu Nian dumbfounded. At this rate, they wouldn't make it to the auction in time.

Helpless, Xu Nian had no choice but to pull out the Divine Travel Boat given to him by Bai Xi Sword Immortal.

In the past, he didn't have high-quality spirit stones to power the Divine Travel Boat.

But now, he could use it easily.

So, Xu Nian placed three top-grade spirit stones into the Divine Travel Boat.

Then, he and Long Tian'er sat inside the Divine Travel Boat.

"Whoosh!"

The Divine Travel Boat transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Its speed was akin to a lightning bolt streaking through the sky.

"So fast! This speed is a thousand times faster than if we flew ourselves!" Long Tian'er exclaimed.

"I didn't expect it to be this fast either. No wonder it can travel between stars; this speed is truly terrifying," Xu Nian couldn't help but marvel.

His heart was filled with joy.

But soon, Xu Nian became worried.

Because the Divine Travel Boat consumed high-quality spirit stones too quickly.

The three top-grade spirit stones were only enough for the Divine Travel Boat to fly for two hours.

Luckily, the flight only lasted for three two-hour periods.

They arrived at the city where Tianbao Pavilion was located.

"Such speed! A journey of thirty days only took three two-hour periods. It's unbelievable," Long Tian'er sighed.

Xu Nian was also overjoyed.

This Divine Travel Boat truly was a rare treasure.

It seems in the future, he should stockpile more top-grade spirit stones.

With the Divine Travel Boat for escaping, not even an Earth Immortal expert could catch him!

"Let's go. The city where Tianbao Pavilion is located is just below. This city is full of cultivators, and those in the Zifu Realm are considered the lowest ranks, so Mr. Xu, we should keep a low profile once we enter," Long Tian'er said to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian nodded; he didn't want to cause trouble either.

As long as others didn't provoke him, he wouldn't actively provoke others.

Xu Nian and Long Tian'er descended at the city gate.

This city was vast, and its buildings were splendid and magnificent.

Because most of its inhabitants were cultivators, the services here were beyond imagination.

Following Long Tian'er into the city, Xu Nian found the place bustling with activity.

Inside the city, fighting and flying were prohibited.

Anyone who violated the ban would be punished by the Forbidden Guard Army of Tianbao Pavilion.

These guards were all cultivators, and their cultivation levels were uniformly in the Cave Void Realm.

There was even a captain among them who had reached the Unity Realm Stage.

"What a strong force! They even have a cultivator army!" Xu Nian couldn't help but marvel.

"This is nothing. Cloud Thunder Star is just a lower-level cultivation planet in the Taiheng Star Domain. It's said that the Forbidden Guard Armies of Tianbao Pavilion on higher-level cultivation planets are all in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, with captains who are Transcendance Tribulation Stage experts," Long Tian'er explained.

Xu Nian was astonished.

He had never left Tianlan Star.

He didn't know how vast the cultivation world really was.

But now, on Cloud Thunder Star, Xu Nian began to sense just how immense the cultivation world was.

In comparison, a Cave Void Realm cultivator was considered the lowest rank.

During a mere 15 minutes from entering the city.

He encountered no less than a thousand cultivators.

Among them, seven hundred were in the Zifu Realm, and over two hundred in the Cave Void Realm.

The remaining dozens were all above the Unity Realm Stage.

He couldn't even be certain if there were any Heavenly Phenomenon Realm cultivators among them.

With Xu Nian's early-stage Harmonization strength, he was only at an intermediate level among these people.

"It seems we really need to keep a low profile," Xu Nian mused to himself.

"Mr. Xu, we should find a place to stay first. Since the auction at Tianbao Commerce is still over twenty days away, we will need to stay here for that long," Long Tian'er suggested.

"Okay!" Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

So, they directly found an inn where Xu Nian spent ten thousand low-grade spirit stones to rent a courtyard for a month.

And this courtyard had two rooms, just enough for them.

It was fortunate that they came early; if they arrived a few days later.

There might not have been any rooms left.

In the courtyard, Xu Nian and Long Tian'er sat facing each other.

"Mr. Xu, what do you need to buy this time? I can help inquire if the auction will have it. If it's not a rare item, we can also try to buy it directly from Tianbao Pavilion," Long Tian'er said to Xu Nian.

"I need a top-grade healing spirit pill and a Spirit King Pill. If there's no Spirit King Pill, the ingredients will do," Xu Nian quickly replied.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's request, Long Tian'er's brows furrowed.

"A top-grade healing spirit pill? That will likely be available only at the auction because top-grade spirit pills are extremely rare. As for the Spirit King Pill, which is the best among top-grade spirit pills, it's unlikely to appear at the Tianbao Pavilion on Cloud Thunder Star. Perhaps you may find the ingredients, but it's all up to luck," Long Tian'er explained.

Xu Nian nodded.

It seemed that the Tianbao Pavilion on Cloud Thunder Star was not very large, so its treasures would also be relatively few.

Xu Nian hadn't held too much hope for the Spirit King Pill.

As long as he could buy a top-grade healing spirit pill at the auction, he would be satisfied.

"Also, Mr. Xu, not just anyone can enter the auction. Only valued guests of Tianbao Pavilion Commerce can enter, and the minimum requirement for that status is ten thousand top-grade spirit stones. The bidding in the auction will also be done using top-grade spirit stones," Long Tian'er said.

Xu Nian's mind went blank for a moment.

The entry requirement alone was ten thousand top-grade spirit stones?

All the spirit stones he had, converted into top-grade spirit stones, barely amounted to over ten thousand.

Let alone buying top-grade spirit pills.

"How many top-grade spirit stones do you think a top-grade spirit pill would cost?" Xu Nian asked.

"Generally, top-grade spirit pills cost around fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones. In an auction, the price would be higher. As for top-grade healing spirit pills, the price might reach a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. Moreover, you need other ingredients too," Long Tian'er explained.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian felt even more troubled.

This meant that all his spirit stones were nowhere near enough for even one top-grade spirit pill.

"It seems I need to find a way to get more spirit stones," Xu Nian mused to himself.

Suddenly, an idea struck Xu Nian. He quickly asked, "How much could a top-grade spiritual artifact sell for?"

"A top-grade spiritual artifact? Generally, they sell between ten thousand and thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones. Better ones can go for fifty thousand. Do you have a top-grade spiritual artifact?" Long Tian'er asked.

Xu Nian smiled mysteriously and replied, "I don't have one, but I can refine one!"

"Refine?" Long Tian'er was stunned, then quickly understood, and her jaw dropped in astonishment.
