e Purple Micro Palace was a testament to that.Unfortunately, somehow the news leaked. The valuable spirit trees were destroyed, and although they launched a surprise attack, it was only moderately ef...Yinshan Pass.

One of the Seven Passes, located between Jungan City and Tianyou Pass.

This city has a completely different scene from the Hanging Skull Pass.

The great city sits in the midst of an endless mire, also located in the extreme north where it is bitterly cold. But the mire does not freeze; instead, it gurgles and bubbles with mud, and when a bubble bursts, a wave of warm air rises up.

At the bottom of the swamp, there seems to be a hot spring.

The heat was constantly rising, too much to dissipate, causing the entire swamp to be shrouded in a thick fog, very eerie.

Only by flying to high altitude can one see the sun.

In this harsh environment, many plants and trees still grow in the swamp, though most are strangely shaped. Especially in the thick fog, the contorted ancient trees look like menacing ghosts stretching out their claws.

The city walls of Yinshan Pass are formed by a row of these peculiar ancient trees. The towering ancient trees are all dark green-black in color, and even the smallest ones are several dozen people's embrace thick, which is very impressive.

These ancient trees stand close together, seeming to have already died, their forms resembling iron and stone.

The defense at Yinshan Pass was not particularly strict. After Qin Sang climbed to the top of the city wall and paid the guards spirit stones, he received a waist token. As long as the runes on the token hadn't expired, he could enter and exit freely.

Looking down at the entirety of Yinshan Pass, Qin Sang was also somewhat surprised.

This is a city built in the treetops.

It is said that many cultivators opened their caves in tree holes at Yinshan Pass, it's not just hearsay.

At this time, Yinshan Pass was bustling with people, and there was even a sense of prosperity and excitement. All the comings and goings were cultivators, which was indeed very rare. They were probably all attracted by the auction.

These cultivators' attire was a riot of colors, a veritable cacophony of styles.

In Yinshan City, a great city lord of the Yuan Ying stage held sway. Whether it was righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators, or even heretical cultivators, none dared to act recklessly. Even when conflicts arose, they could only duel outside the city walls. As a result, the city remained peaceful and harmonious, which seemed quite strange.

Qin Sang landed on the ground woven from countless delicate branches. Looking down, he could clearly see the black mud churning in the swamp, which was nauseating, but there was no stench of decay.

Moreover, geothermal heat could not penetrate into Yinshan Pass. At this time of day, the sun was blazing high in the sky, and the city was bathed in light.

He stomped down hard, and the tree net rippled with faint light of prohibition, very stable.

Qin Sang looked left and right, then squeezed into the crowd. After turning several streets, he stood in front of a three-story wooden building.

The wooden building was constructed on the branches of a large tree, supported by only two relatively slender branches below. However, Qin Sang could tell that the weight of the building wasn't borne by the branches, or they would have long since broken. Instead, there was a levitation enchantment on the wooden building itself.

It seems that to match the shape of the big tree, the wooden building appears somewhat crooked and twisted, but it adheres well to the main trunk of the tree, creating a unique sense of harmony.

This type of wooden building is very common in Yinshan Pass, and it's only three stories high. Compared to others, it appears quite understated.

Spirit Pill Pavilion.

The name is also very low-key.

Little did they know, this Lingdan Pavilion was a branch of the Taiyi Dan Pavilion.

Shaohua Mountain also had businesses in Yinshan Pass, but its operations were not as deep as Tai'eta Dan Ge. To find out about the auction news, Tai'eta Dan Ge had to be dispatched, so Qin Sang directly went to them with Liu Guan's token.

"Qin Daoist friend, please come in quickly."

Qin Sang presented his token, proving his identity, and was enthusiastically led into a quiet chamber by the Lingdan Pavilion's manager.

"The little shop is rather rough, please forgive me, Daoist Qin." The manager of Lingdan Pavilion, surnamed Pu, had a cultivation level comparable to Liu, but unlike Liu, he was not close to his age limit. Instead, he came to Yinshan Pass proactively to take over the business.

Upon hearing Pugu's account, Qin Sang realized that most of the business at Yin Shan Pass was under the control of the lord.

The lord of Yinshan Pass, with numerous cultivators under his command, maintained a well-ordered society, resembling an independent faction. It simply hadn't formally established itself publicly.

The Taiyi Dan Pavilion didn't dare to confront the city lord at Yinshan Pass, so it only kept one storefront, serving cultivators above the Qi Refining stage. Anyway, the Taiyi Danzong's reputation was sufficient; it didn't need a storefront to draw in customers.

Because of its unique business, Taixiao Dan Pavilion and Yin Shan Guan often have high-level contacts. Relying on a little face, they can inquire about news.

Unfortunately, regarding the auction, there is very limited information available. After nearly a year has passed, there are still no new updates.

"In ten days, the auction will begin. I have instructed someone to arrange a quiet room for Daoist Qin so that he won't be disturbed during his meditation," Pu Guan said kindly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang shook his head and refused. With only ten days left, he wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. "To be honest with Daoist Pu, I only learned about the Yin Shan Pass auction from Lao Liu. I don't know much about it. Would it be too much trouble for you, Manager Pu, to give me a detailed introduction to the rules of the auction and things to watch out for"

"What's difficult about it"

Pu Guan, the official in charge of ceremonial matters, had someone bring up fragrant tea. As they sipped the refreshing brew, he began introducing Qin Sang to the others.

The Yin Shan Pass auction wasn't held in the city but rather on an island a hundred miles north of it outside the city walls. There was a large formation surrounding the island, meant to ward off cloud beasts, but it posed no danger to cultivators. As long as one had cultivation at the tenth level of Qi Refinement, they could easily ascend the island.

Within the territory of Shi Island and the range of the battle formation, fighting is strictly prohibited. Any transaction must be mutually agreeable.

It is said that a cultivator at the Ju Dan stage, overconfident in his strength, acted arrogantly and took what he wanted. The next day, his body was found hanging on a stone pillar in the center of Shi Island. Not a single harsh word was spoken by the master of that expert's sect.

Not only are auctions held here, but Shi Island is also a place where monks trade, acting as a small market. It only opens for one month at a time.

This trade fair is no simple affair. There are even many wanted by various powerful forces lurking about, but regardless of whether they are righteous or demonic, both sides will give the Yin Shan Guan City Lord face and at the very least, won't interfere with the running of the trade fair on the surface.

In addition to the allure of the auction, Shi Island always attracts a large number of cultivators.

If Qin Daoist is interested, why not take a stroll around the island You might just find some rare treasures.

Gu, the administrator of the pipe, said something profound.

Qin Sang seemed thoughtful. The trade fair was held outside the city, not within it. It seemed to be the result of a power struggle between the mayor and the major forces.

According to Pu Guan's tone, there might be many illicit treasures at the trade fair that couldn't appear at the auction and could only circulate privately.

It's definitely worth a watch.

Qin Sang killed Yu Da Yue and others, obtaining a lot of spoils of war. Adding to what he got from the old man Di Que, he now had over 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, which made him incredibly wealthy among foundation-building cultivators.

A top-notch artifact, even through normal channels, wouldn't cost more than three thousand spirit stones.

As long as it's not something like Fu Bao, Millennium Spirit Herbs, or Soul-Calling Grass - those kinds of treasures that are priceless - you can basically afford to buy it.
