The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 26's

The pavilion master gave Gu Lang a special plaque, which only VIP customers owned and the plaque was valid throughout the branches of the Cuxiao pavilion.

True, even though this Cuxiao pavilion in Chuxuan city was the largest auction house in Canglan country, but still this auction house was only a small branch of the central Cuxia pavilion located in Hongdao country.

After Gu Lang died, the Cuxiao pavilion master named Mu Meng Yi smiled at Gu Lang's back and disappeared behind the door.

"It doesn't matter with small profits, because long-term cooperation is more important." Mumbled.

Meng Yi, who could not see Gu Lang's level of training, said that Gu Lang was a cultivator who was at a higher level than him.

And that is what made him choose to establish long-term cooperation with the musterius man.

Gu Lang darted quickly and returned to the inn. He took off his robe and laid his body on the bed, while looking at the plaque of the VIP customer of the Cuxiao pavilion in his hands.

"It turns out not all beautiful women are stupid. That beautiful woman was very smart by trying to get close to me and establish long-term cooperation."

Gu Lang smiled as he could already be sure if tomorrow there really was a life pill at the auction, then he would definitely be able to obtain it.

Being too tired after a long journey, and also training two moves for four days inside the sky tower, Gu Lang decided to rest for a while at least until tomorrow arrived.

The next day, Gu Lang walked out of the inn and chose to take a walk while observing the surroundings.

The auction event in the Cuxiao pavilion was about to be held, and it was certain that there would be many strong cultivators coming to fight over the top-grade rulebook, already, that became the main auction item in the Cuxiao pavilion today.

And sure enough, as far as Gu Lang was concerned there were indeed many cultivators who came from outside Chuxuan city. But strangely he did not find a single cultivator from the city of Biluo, and that made Gu Lang confused.

Cultivators in Biluo city were also not weak, and were able to compete with strong cultivators from other cities, especially if it was his father.

But as the head of the family, he was indeed unlikely to come alone to an event like this and leave the residence.

Usually the heads of the families would send their representatives to attend this kind of auction event, and obtain the items they needed.

But so far, he had found none of the cultivators who were from the same city as him. According to him, it is very strange, and unnatural considering that the family of a large family in the city of Biluo is also not poor.

"Here you go, maybe they don't want the book." Thought Gu Lang in the end, for not wanting to bother with the matter.

After all if his father wanted a top-class rulebook then he could give it one of the books, which was in the sky tower.

Gu Lang headed to the Cuxiao pavilion, when it was already late afternoon and an auction event would be held soon.

Not to forget he was wearing his black robe and hood, as he entered the Cuxiao pavilion through a door specially prepared for VIP customers.

He was immediately directed to one of the rooms on the top floor, above where VIP customers were.

Luckily the room was closed, so Gu Lang had nothing to fear if anyone else recognized him or someone would go after him to snatch the item he would buy later.

"This is the first auction item, this thing is a jade battle robe. This robe belonged to a strong cultivator found at the ancient site of Weihuo, the price started from a hundred thousand gold taels."

"One hundred and ten taels!"

Someone on the public bench lifted the board, then followed by another until one of the customers in the VIP room who bid the price and somehow it made the others speechless and no longer tried to fight over it.

"Congratulations to the customer in room number two, managed to obtain a jade battle robe for two hundred thousand gold taels."

There were all sorts of gossip from down there, about the person behind room number two. And from what Gu Lang heard, she was the daughter of one of the famous families in this city.

"It is fitting that everyone immediately fell silent when the person lifted the board, it turns out that in addition to the power there is still money that can make humans respected."

The auction continued, until it came to an object that was so eye-catching to Gu Lang. I don't know for what reason, but Gu Lang was determined to get the thing at any cost.

"This fifth auctioneer is a demonic sword, judging from the aura that this sword emanates is extremely powerful. But unfortunately this sword suffered a bit of damage, the price started from a thousand taels of gold."

"Fifty thousand taels!" Without further ado, Gu Lang immediately bid the defective object for fifty times the price, he said, and of course it caused scorn from those who thought Gu Lang was a stupid rich man.

Gu Lang finally got the thing, and now it was just waiting for the pill he was looking for to appear.

"This eighth auction item was a level five life pill, a pill capable of restoring the aura of life and reviving people who were on the verge of death. This pill was extremely rare, since it was made by the only level 5 alchemist in Canglan country, the price started at fifty thousand gold taels."

"Sixty thousand taels!"

"Sixty thousand taels!"

"One hundred thousand taels!" Again and again, the person behind room number two was lifting the board and making no one else dare to fight, except Gu Lang of course.

But instead of directly raising the high price, Gu Lang actually wanted to test to what point the person behind the room number two was going to compete with him.

"One hundred thousand taels!"

Various rumors immediately shot out for Gu Lang who dared to lure the sleeping lion.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand one!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand one!"

The situation grew increasingly boisterous with Gu Lang who was instead playing around with the person behind room number two, there were even those who lamented Gu Lang was not only stupid but also too brave. And it continued, until the price reached three hundred thousand.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Haishis... Already I am tired of playing around," Inner Gu Lang, "Five hundred thousand!"
