Chapter 20 - Call me...

The next day, Tian Shen prepared for his venture to the auction house wearing his 'Silent night' cloak that let him undetectable by below the initial [Martial veins] and his mask in the shape of a wolf hid his identity.

He didn't want people investigating his background knowing the orphanage would be used against him, therefore needed to be prepared in avoiding the scenario. Tian Shen was finished looking into the nearby mirror and saw how oddly menacing his image was yet badass at the same time.

Afterward, He tested the cloak moving into the hall where the children running that didn't even try to greet him then went into the backyard where Xiao Xiao was and remained undetectable. Tian Shen nodded at the cloak's ability that proves useful for hunting Demon Beast.

Tian Shen decided to head to his destination and as he was leaving the orphanage he saw Feng Xue in the window staring at the sky with her flowing along with the wind that was mesmerizing sights. He smiled then left the orphanage missing her looking at her.

'Stay safe, My Shen'er."

She smiled before heading back inside the oranges. Meanwhile, Tian Shen arrived at the marketplace towards the merchant guild to see Senior Yin about the auction and meet up with Ning'er if she was there.

He has gotten closer without a problem due to being undetectable until arriving at Senior Yin's office where the guards stood still not noticing Tian Shen.

"Is Senior Yin inside?"

Tian Shen had decided to change his voice to avoid people knowing it was him. He was well known in the town therefore if his voice was the same then everything would have been for nothing. It was done by gathering a wisp of Qi essence into his throat to deepen it. He sounds akin to a powerful ninja who fought the whole five-nation army alone.

The guards were bewildered seeing the young man that hid his face with wolf mask and long dark that terrified them knowing their job as guard had been useless at how people could easily arrive undetectable.

They understood the person was an expert considering his presence was far too mysterious for them to fathom. A cultivator the more they advance the peak condition their body become and some look younger than they appear.

Therefore, despite Tian Shen stature was enough to believe he was an expert. Regardless, they did their job as guard despite their quivering lips and body.

"Who are you and what business do you have here?"

"Just call Senior Yin and tell him about the talisman."

Though reluctant, one of the guard went ahead inform Senior Yin who understood that Tian Shen was hiding his identity that avoid unnecessary attention. He told the guards to let Tian Shen in then met up with him who had grown taller than the last time they had met. It was the result of his bone growing at a rapid rate and tempering of his body becoming more mature.

"Ti-"

"Senior Yin, it would be best to call me another name to avoid knowing my true identity."

"I see then what should I call you?"

"Call me…Zun(Venerable)"

"Then I shall call you Zun. Let us head to the Auction house as VIPs. Also, don't forget tomorrow Ning'er is going to be here."

Tian Shen smiled under his mask as they went their way into the Auction house while asking for information regarding the talismans. Senior Yin explains while the people saw him were confuse who he was talking to as Tian Shen was invisible in their senses.

Their mind couldn't register the image of Tian Shen due to the effects from the [Silent night] cloak that numb their senses. Only above [Martial veins] would be able to sense him even then it need long concentration.

"Well the talisman had been confirm to be real by the auction house and will start bid at the price of fifty thousand Yuan gold each."

Tian Shen remain indifferent yet was shock at how high his poorly created talismans could be sold and only believe it would be minimum of ten thousand Yuan coins. This shows how rare inscription in the countryside of the Azure Dragon city.

Within the Roaring Town City, there is only a place where one would be able to witness powerful individuals that include disciples in the five Institutions due to the benefit from such places. The merchant guild pprovides distributing products that are available in the market yet one place where a rare and valuable item can be sold at a high price are the auction.

An auction is a famous place where wealthy individuals and powerful cultivator try their luck in finding mysterious items that would be able to give them boundless benefits. in the Roaring Wind City, the only auction house in the place was called the Golden Pavilion that is only a branch auction house from the main capital.

Tian Shen followed Senior Yin to the extravagant Auction house that true their name was golden in their architecture where only people that gain tens of thousand Yuan coins are able to enter. He silently watched Senior Yin show small golden badge that immediately made the servant now in respect.

"Senior Yin, please let me lead the way to your VIP room. Our auction had been preparing for your product to be the spotlight of this day knowing how rare Talisman inscription could be found in this town."

"Its this humble gentlemen, the inscription master Zun."

"Zun?"

He remained smiling which was obviously fake as it would be different if it was commoner. He knew how this people view weaker individuals as nothing more than trash due to having experienced them in Tian Shen of this world.

Though, it didn't escalate into violence and letting them be knowing that they are not worth it and karma would come to them. Tian Shen believe in karma and the law of cause and effect that he'd be able to harness in the future.

He understood how cultivation worlds are and believe they are law in the universe along with Daos yet hadn't reach the level where he'd be able to harness them from reading other Xianxia. Though, it might be different considering this was reality.

The servant was slightly shocked to only notice him yet remain calm showing respect as the person was an Inscription master and having good impressions from him would bring them more blessing.

"Welcome to our Golden pavilion auction house, Master Zun! "

"…I think it would be best if we get going.

Tian Shen spoke in a deep voice terrifying the servant fearing that he had offended him quickly apologized then brought them to the VIP lobby where upon opening the huge door instantly greeted them with people shouting and bidding.

They were in an inside balcony overlooking the people below and the treasure being auction. He observed his surroundings sense many [Martial Bones] to [Qi condensation] expert either a rogue cultivator from the five institutions.

'Ah? This is surprising…"

Tian Shen saw in the next VIP area was hand young man being guarded by two [Warrior] stage expert that was from few weeks ago where Feng Xua e began to feel out of places. He unconsciously release killing intent yet releases felt his thorny crown stop him. He grunted from the pain then realize his mistake as the [Warrior] stage would cause trouble for him.

'Thank you, [Thorn of Heaven] I almost got careless.'

Tian Shen was strong both in mentally and physically yet in terms of emotion was meager at best as his anger get the best of him. It was always his partner that always helped him in avoiding getting into trouble.

If he had released his killing intent then it would likely offend them and try to investigate him then pressure Senior Yin from coughing out information about him.

He decided to observe them from afar taking quick glances knowing a [Warrior] stage expert would be able to know if someone was g at them the moment he took longer than necessary.

Tian Shen decided to focus his attention into the Auction where the host was a beautiful woman wearing a skimpy outfit that money men lustfully stared at her body than the item. He sat down to watch the auction while taking fe glances from the young master.

He was eye-catching for someone who was only accompanied by [Warrior] Stage expert. In the higher realm such as [Warrior] had their own subdivision of Nine stages that each needed to broken through to gain more strength.

One stage higher may seem small yet their power are exponentially different than a 1st stage Warrior won't be able to defeat 2nd stage warrior as their power is too vast.

The young man had 3rd stage of warrior showing how important the person was and isn't from the Roaring Wind Town. He gave shrugged smile looking down at the people below while relish drink.

Tian Shen felt disgusted how someone could be vile and egocentric hoping to kill him if he had the chance. Though, he can't blame since it was fate of people who only receive praise without criticism.

It was the biggest weakness of many cultivators is the lack of accepting their defeat and the flaws in their cultivation. They cling into believing their power was perfect and can't be compare to others which is immature way of thinking.

In failure is where one learn and advance further which why Tian Shen had higher comprehension in cultivation that he constantly improve himself believing his power can improve.

Tian Shen shook shade that the young master guard had taken notice his appearance before ignoring him again since they sense he was is nothing more than [Martial Bone]. Though, they made them vigilant of his presents and remain quiet.

Time passed as the next item arrived which were Three bottles of [First rank] demon blood that taken much value before two pieces of paper arrive causing their eyes to grow in interest.

"Ladies and gentleman today we present one of item today. You are not dreaming as this are Talismans inscription patterns created by the humble individual in the VIP lobby, Master Zun!"

Everyone's gaze went into the nodded figure that had the air of mystery that made curious of his background yet understood he was someone worth investing. The young master perk up of the mysterious inscription master and the talismans that came from the person.
