threatening Li Tian

The auction continued and it didn't take long for for Zhao Yumin's subordinate to present all the information he had found about Li Tian.

"Lord, this is the information. I've compiled it into this file. Do you want to take a look at it?"

"No, just tell me what you found" replied lord Zhao.

"According to the information we obtained, he is an orphan and just graduated from the university. Ranked first in his trial and is very powerful. Promoted straight to the rank of Sergeant upon his recruitment and is now currently in-charge of the west wall under the command of lord ironblood."

At this time lord Zhao interrupted

"Really, so is that why he is so cocky?.

He is definitely under the protection of the military and we can't attack him openly and that lord ironblood has always been a troublesome fellow. I wouldn't want to get on his bad side."

As he was still speaking he realised the subordinate still ha more to say and nodded at him

"The other thing we found out is that he has some conflict with with people from the Li and Zhang clans of prime city, though I can't seem to find out what it is exactly"

At this moment even Zhao Yumin was shocked.

"This fellow is quite troublesome to kill. If we kill him now we might incur the wrath of not only the military but also those two clans...this is really difficult to handle" he thought as he gently tapped his fingers on the arm rest. He soon turned to the man and said

"Go to him and scare him into handing that herb over latest by the end of the auction. Don't attack him no matter what... We'll see if he has the guts to ignore me. If he does...hehehe there are more than one ways to skin a cat" he turned to look at the man and as the man left Zhao Yumin thought to himself

"I must have that treasure, all I have to do is make sure there is no connection leading to me should something happen to him"

When the 18th item was finally auctioned off, Xiao lin'er spoke to the crowd

"Dear guests, we will be taking a one hour recess. Go and prepare more money. Make sure you get one of the upcoming treasures...I wish I had enough money to buy one for myself. But I also welcome anyone who wishes to offer it to me as a gift"

She looked at the crowd with a seductive expression and a smile hanging at the conner of her mouth. She continued

"The nineteenth item will be a chunk of Starfall crystal and the last item will be a rank-7 spiritual treasure; the nine-story pagoda "

Saying this she observed the expression of everyone before turning and leaving. As expected the crowd exploded the next moment and not long after that they all left to go and get more spirit stones for the auction.

Even Li Tian at this moment could not help but be shocked. How did such a weapon come to be in this world. From the knowledge he had gained so far the highest ranking powers in this world were rebirth realm cultivators and they were just a hand few of them which means only rank six weapons at most should be found within this world.

Could they have found it from some inheritance like he had done?

He too soon left with this thoughts in his mind.

"Let's go and get some food, am hungry" he turned and told Shi Ruo

"Find the best restaurant"

They soon came to a restaurant which was hailed as the best within the city and started feasting.

Since he started cultivating his draconic techniques, his appetite had increased to a terrifying degree.

Same for Shi Ruo would could now eat more than five times what she did before.

As they ordered an outrageous amount of food and were quickly wolfing it down, even the waiter became scared of them.

Their happy moment was soon interrupted by the subordinate of lord Zhao

"You there Li Tian, listen up. I come on behalf of lord Zhao. You dared to bid against him in the auction and took his treasure..." Before he could finish he was interrupted

"His treasure?" Asked Li Tian without even looking at the man

The man realised that Li Tian wasn't paying attention to him and moved to a position where he could look at his face as he responded

"Yes, his treasure" he replied as he looked at Li Tian with an implying gaze.

"Lord Zhao is a very magnanimous person and is willing to allow you make it up to him by handing over the treasure now"

Li Tian had stopped paying attention to him a long time ago

"Ha Li Tian, you are truly arrogant. Do you think your rank of Sergeant means you can ignore everyone. I am going to give you one final chance. Before the auction ends, look for lord Zhao and hand him that herb or you won't like the consequences"

Speaking up to here he did not want to continue embarrassing himself so he turned and left. It was too bad he had been told not to attack Li Tian otherwise he would really like to slap that face of his.

"Sir, what do we do?"

Asked Shi Ruo

"Ignore them, just a bunch of flies. They are of no consequence"

When Shi Ruo heard this she was a little skeptical and thought they should take this seriously but looking at Li Tian's expression which seemed to suggest he had not even taken this to heart she too forgot about it. Though she was ready at anytime to call for help from other military soldiers.

They continued their meal and after they had eaten their fill they got up and Shi Ruo paid. She had already converted a lot of spirit stones into the currency of this world so they could use it for their daily expenditures.

They headed towards the auction house as the auction will be resuming soon. Meanwhile the subordinate was now giving a report to lord Zhao about his encounter with Li Tian at the restaurant.
