I alone am the Honoured One!

Li Jia smiled and dragged Zhao Tian inside, her eyes instantly lighting up at the rows of gleaming weapons and neatly arranged scrolls.

The place was vast, with high ceilings and walls lined with weapons of various sizes and shapes, all emitting powerful auras.

Li Jia walked down the aisle, inspecting a few of the weapons, running her fingers lightly over the handles of swords, spears, and halberds.

The receptionist inspecting them gestured toward a section and spoke "You can select one from this section. This is for Mythich grade."

Both of them entered and walked into the section, glancing around at the weapons.

Li Jia suddenly stopped in front of a display case where a sword hovered inside, its blade glowing with a faint blue light.

Its hilt was intricately carved with the image of a coiling dragon and seeing this Li Jia's eyes sparkled.

"This one... I think this is it," she said, her voice barely a whisper and she read the name below it "The 'Azure Dragon's Wrath.' It's perfect."

Zhao Tian walked up beside her, looking at the sword. "It's a fine choice, But make sure you can handle it."

Li Jia shot him a sidelong glance. "You doubt me, Tian?"

Zhao Tian raised his hands in surrender. "Not at all. I just know how overzealous you can get."

With a proud smirk, Li Jia motioned for the receptionist to unlock the case.

As the sword floated toward her, she reached out and gripped the handle, immediately feeling the rush of power surge through her body.

'So, this is a Mythic grade weapon.'

She closed her eyes, allowing the weapon's aura to meld with her own, and for a moment, Zhao Tian could see her energy harmonizing with the sword, faint wisps of blue and gold swirling around her.

With a smile, she opened her eyes. "Perfect," she said, giving the sword a small twirl before sheathing it.

"Now for the skill."

Soon, she selected a technique for her Water elemental and Zhao Tian too, picked a radiant-grade skill and weapon.

...

Sitting comfortably inside the plush carriage, Zhao Tian gazed out the window at the passing scenery.

Li Jia had leaned into him, resting her head gently on his shoulder, her hair brushing against his neck.

Zhao Tian glanced at her briefly, a soft smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

"By the way Tian, do you need anything specific to buy from the Auction house?"

Zhao Tian shook his head "No, just to sell some stuff..."

"I see..."

Soon, the distant outline of Fenglei City appeared on the horizon. The towering walls and tall spires of the capital city rose into the sky, shimmering in the morning light.

The once quiet road was now lined with other carriages and pedestrians, all heading toward the city.

Soon, their carriage entered the royal capital and both of them stepped onto the streets.

Li Jia's eyes wide with excitement as she looped her arm through Zhao Tian's and tugged him forward. "Come on, let's take a look around before we head to the auction house."

Zhao Tian allowed himself to be led through the crowded streets, a faint smile on his lips as Li Jia's enthusiasm rubbed off on him.

As they meandered through the city streets, they passed by a towering pagoda—the Fenglei Auction House.

The building was grand, with its multiple levels rising high above the other structures in the area.

The Auction House was one of the most renowned in the region, known for hosting auctions of rare and valuable items that attracted the wealthiest and most powerful individuals.

Li Jia glanced at the auction house "We'll go there soon, but first, let's enjoy ourselves a bit more."

They continued walking, eventually stopping at a small tea house nestled in a quiet corner of the bustling city.

The air was cooler here, and the scent of freshly brewed tea wafted from the open windows.

Li Jia led Zhao Tian inside, and they found a table by the window with a clear view of the city streets.

Sitting down, Li Jia leaned back in her chair, a satisfied smile on her face. "This is nice," she said softly, looking out at the busy streets.

Eventually, they finished their tea, and Li Jia stood up with renewed energy. "Alright, now it's time for the main event! Let's head to the auction house."

Zhao Tian followed her lead as they made their way back through the crowded streets toward the towering Fenglei Auction House.

...

As both of them entered the elevator in the Auction house, Li Jia glanced at Zhao Tian "Was it 4th floor for selling the stuff?"

"Yeah..."

Soon, both of them stepped into the room and walked to the Auction staff standing at the desk.

Looking at them, the young man who was working there smiled warmly "Esteemed customer, what would you like to sell here."

Zhao Tian took two radiant-grade weapons from his storage ring and placed them on the table.

Li Jia's jaw dropped as one of the radiant-grade weapons was the one he had just taken from the Sect warehouse "H-Huh?"

Looking through the grade of the weapon, the young man was quite surprised and took them in his hands "Really good and Esteemed customer, would you like to participate in the Auction as well?"

Zhao Tian gave a nod and the young man pulled a drawer and took a golden card from it, which had the number 34 on it.

"Since you are selling a radiant grade weapon like this, we will offer a VIP room for you."

With a nod, Zhao Tian took his card and the young man spoke "We will send the astral stones to your room itself after it has been auctioned, Mr..." his voice trailed off.

"Batman."

"Ah, Mr.Batman."

Zhao Tian and Li Jia entered the elevator to go to the 8th floor, where the Auction is going to happen.

"Tian, why did you sell a radiant-grade weapon? Do you know its value?"

Zhao Tian : -_-
