His current Realm and strength allow him to connect with the heavens and earth with a thought. With every move, his power is not weaker than Earth Rank, so his need for Dou Techniques isn't great.
Of course, this is the convenience brought by his Realm. If it were someone else, even if they copied him exactly, they might only throw an ordinary punch. To turn these into true Earth-tier Dou Techniques, so that people without his Realm can also use them, would require a lot of effort.
The manager was a bit surprised. A Mysterious Tier, High Grade Dou Technique, even within the Black Emperor Sect Auction House, was considered a good item that ranked high. To think someone would use it to exchange for money.
But he had seen the world, after all, and immediately quoted a price. Zhao Li calculated it and then wrote out a few more:
"Exchange all these Dou Techniques. They are all Mysterious Tier, High Grade."
The manager's brow furrowed, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he was a bit disbelieving in his heart:
"Do you think Mysterious Tier, High Grade Dou Techniques are like cabbages?"
While he was complaining inwardly, he also took the Jade Slips and looked at them: Heart Shattering Palm, Shifting Flowers and Grafting Wood, Seven Injuries Fist, Foshan Shadowless Kick...
All of them were Mysterious Tier, High Grade! The names were naturally made up by Zhao Li, and they were indeed Mysterious Tier, High Grade. But if one were to truly cultivate them, they would be effective before reaching Dou Spirit, but after Dou Spirit, they would be like chicken ribs (useless).
The manager didn't know this. For a moment, his heart was full of shock. He quietly made a note of Zhao Li and then exchanged five million Gold Coins for Zhao Li.
"Hmm, five million. If I see any small items I like, it should be enough."
Zhao Li took the Storage Ring and looked at the overflowing pile of Gold Coins, thinking to himself.
True treasures couldn't be bought with Gold Coins. As for bartering, he had quite a few High Grade Pills in his Storage Ring.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li didn't linger any longer and left the place. At the same time, several people who had been frequently looking at Zhao Li quietly followed.
Seeing this, the manager called someone else to take over his shift, while he himself went to report this strange person and strange matter to the higher-ups.
"Hmm?"
Zhao Li stopped in his tracks, raising an eyebrow. A very crude Spatial Energy had sealed off his surroundings.
Not long after, an old man with a sinister expression appeared before Zhao Li and said indifferently:
"Young man, when you're out and about, it's better to be low-key. This old man is not a bloodthirsty person, I only seek wealth. Leave your Storage Ring, and you can go."
Zhao Li's urge to complain was almost overflowing:
"Is this the Black Corner Region? In just one day, I've encountered things with holes in their heads that I barely encountered in the past ten years."
His eyebrows twitched, a semblance of a smile on his face:
"Not only am I going to leave, I'm going to walk over here, and walk over there. So, what do you want to do?"
In front of him, the so-called seal was completely ineffective.
Old Man Yin Shan had a premonition of ill fortune the moment he saw Zhao Li's expression. Seeing Zhao Li walk back and forth made sweat beads appear on his forehead, and he didn't dare to move.
"This is my Black Emperor Sect's territory, Yin Shan, you've crossed the line."
A majestic voice suddenly rang out beside the two of them. It was the Black Emperor Sect Master, Mo Xuyu, who had rushed over after receiving news about Zhao Li.
Hearing this, Old Man Yin Shan didn't react at all. In front of Zhao Li, Mo Xuyu was completely insignificant.
Mo Xuyu appeared, his expression filled with dominance, making anyone who saw him not dare to have any thoughts of defiance.
He didn't know what had happened earlier. He simply saw the two 'at a standoff' and felt relieved.
"Yin Shan, this young brother, for the sake of my Black Emperor Sect, let's drop this matter. If there's anything, we can resolve it after the Auction. How about it?"
As his words fell, the reactions of the two were different.
Yin Shan looked astonished, as if he thought Mo Xuyu was crazy for daring to speak to that unfathomable young man like that. But at the same time, he also felt a sense of anticipation, hoping that Zhao Li would truly just dismiss him as insignificant. He swore that he would leave immediately. Compared to his life, the message being auctioned, whose authenticity was unknown, was nothing.
Zhao Li, however, looked quite interested. He could clearly sense the greed beneath Mo Xuyu's mental fluctuations; it seemed he was very interested in him.
Zhao Li smiled inexplicably:
"You're Yin Shan, right? You heard what the Sect Master said. Look, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"
As his words fell, Yin Shan was overjoyed and readily agreed:
"Senior is magnanimous!"
Mo Xuyu was astonished; it seemed the situation wasn't what he had imagined. But he didn't have time to think carefully. Seeing that Zhao Li was about to leave, he quickly spoke to keep him:
"Young brother, you are no ordinary person. I have already had accommodations prepared for you in the Black Emperor Pavilion. Please stay there."
Staying in the Black Emperor Pavilion was a symbol of status. He believed that this arrangement had given him enough face. As for what happened afterward, the early bird catches the worm...
Zhao Li nodded in agreement. He vaguely felt that this Auction seemed somewhat unusual, perhaps there was something that even Dou Sects craved.
He had come in a hurry and hadn't learned much, so it would be a good opportunity to inquire then. That was one of the privileges of staying in the Black Emperor Pavilion – knowing most of the auction items in advance to reasonably arrange one's funds.
The Black Emperor Pavilion was specially built by the Black Emperor Sect to host well-known figures from the Black Corner Region. Those who could stay there were all people of significant strength or status. Zhao Li was personally invited by the Black Emperor Sect Master and easily moved in.
Zhao Li glanced around. The display of power was certainly impressive, even willing to have a Dou Emperor guard it. For those staying in the pavilion, it indeed gave them enough face.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Li walked straight in under the envious eyes of the crowd. As for him, in this Black Corner Region, the only thing he considered important was the existence within the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling.
Zhao Li sensed around. There were five Dou Sect auras here, which was an extremely terrifying lineup for the Black Corner Region.
He asked the attending maid who was guiding him, also a service person specially assigned by the Black Emperor Sect:
"Tell me, what good things are there at this Auction? It's actually attracting several Dou Sect level existences."
"Young Master, the Black Emperor Sect Auction always has many good things. This time, because of a piece of news, even more strong individuals are flocking here."
The侍女 spoke softly, her voice sweet and gentle, as if she had been specially trained.
Zhao Li was surprised. Just one piece of news could be so attractive? He couldn't help but become curious:
"Oh? What news could have such great appeal?"
Naturally, the 侍女 couldn't know the specific details. What they knew was only the part released specifically for hype. She shook her head slightly, looking charming:
"You jest, young master. How could this humble servant know such a secret? I only heard it seems to be related to the Central Plains."
This is how publicity and hype work – they hint at just enough to pique curiosity and leave people itching for more.
Zhao Li nodded and didn't ask further. He requested a list of the items to be auctioned at the Auction and dismissed the 侍女:
"You may withdraw."
Zhao Li took the list and thought about what might be related to that news:
"Central Plains, Dou Di Ruins Space? That's possible, but it's been over ten years. Yao Chen should be a Dou Venerate by now, which doesn't quite line up."
At the Alchemist Grand Meeting, although Yao Chen had just entered the Dou Sect realm, he used the power of his Heavenly Flame to directly confront Hun Fenghao. Under his pressure, he even advanced a minor star level. With his talent and the assistance of his Alchemy Technique, it would be hard to explain if he hadn't broken through to the Dou Venerate realm after more than ten years.
"Forget it, overthinking is useless. Perhaps it's just a gimmick released by the Black Emperor Sect."
After thinking about various things for a while, Zhao Li suppressed his thoughts and began flipping through the small booklet in his hand.
Looking at the decent items listed in the booklet, Zhao Li secretly clicked his tongue:
"As expected of the Black Corner Region, there are so many good things here. If this were outside, forces without a Dou Sect expert guarding them probably wouldn't even have these things."
