Chapter 1, relying solely on appearances is insufficient

On a typical weekday, the bustling metropolis of Shanghai is already overcrowded, but today it is so packed that there is hardly any space to stand.

Indeed, when the people around saw this woman, not a single one uttered a word of disrespect; they were all captivated by her stunning beauty. Although her appearance was inferior to that of Fu Mi, the aura and charm enhanced by her "flower-picking smile" instantly overwhelmed everyone.

Having treasures, being willful

I fear that whether in the depths of the azure sky or the underworld, one would be unable to find a face that can rival that of this young lady. Although the Ice State Queen ranks third on the list of beauties, she is likely to fall short of this face by more than three thousand realms.

At the very moment the bell tolled, a colorful glow appeared on the horizon. Those with keen eyesight could discern that it was a manifestation of someone's supernatural abilities. However, this kind of ability holds little practical value; it is merely intended to create beautiful illusions

Although practitioners of cultivation possess various supernatural abilities to alter their appearance, in the eyes of those with the heavenly eye or in the reflection of the bone mirror, they are merely their true selves, rendering any embellishment futile

The Cloud Mist Battle Armor is the number one defensive treasure among the three thousand states.

The sound of the clock tower seems to resonate from the horizon, enveloping the skies of Magic City. Every person in every corner cannot miss it; this is the announcement that the Magic City auction will commence in a quarter of an hour.

Including Princess Fumi, everyone could not help but fix their gaze on the two individuals

The Nine Nether Sacred Lotus slowly unfurled, revealing the celestial visage within

According to the older generation who have participated in the auctions in the Magic City, the Magic City Auction House has never disappointed anyone, and it has even attracted powerful beings from higher realms who compressed their cultivation to attend the auctions in the lower states

"He is from Lianzhou." Someone exclaimed

"She is ranked tenth on the list of beauties, the Flowing Light Fairy," someone exclaimed, as if afraid of disturbing this fairy

The first thing that catches the eye is the man, clad in a snow-white robe with light golden patterns. As for his face, it seems you can see it clearly, yet at the same time, it feels elusive. In this moment, you believe you understand it perfectly, but in the next moment, when you try to recall it, you find it impossible to describe.

The woman from the upper realm let out a soft sigh, "What a pity"

In the First Pavilion, Second Valley, Third Teaching, and Fifth Academy, there are individuals arriving, making the Magic Capital truly a gathering of experts at this moment

"Please come in, esteemed guests." A middle-aged man dressed in a dark robe and with a pale face and no beard stepped out from the entrance of the Magic City Auction House. He is Ge Wuyou, the person in charge of the auction.

After shooting the moon, a slender boat floated in from the Flowing Light Lake, upon which stood a beautiful woman in a flowing pink garment. A jade flute rested before her lips, and a melody titled "Flowing Light for a Thousand Miles" gently poured forth, enchanting all who listened.

After the road was cleared, the two teams of maidens in pale yellow garments unfurled their flowing sleeves, and a blanket made of snow-white lotus petals was rolled out from the carriage into the entrance of the Magic City Auction House

Looking at the woman beside him, Fu Mi felt a shock in her heart. "Nianhua Weixiao," this is a divine ability of the Jingzhai from the upper realm. Cultivating this divine ability gives an imposing presence, causing people to involuntarily submit and worship.

But it is undeniable that this radiant fairy is so beautiful that one forgets to breathe

Only those powerful beings from the upper realm who can have Ge Wuyou personally come forward and address them as 'Respected One' are truly formidable

A beam of cold light flashed through the air, and before the crowd could comprehend what had happened, the head of the person who had just uttered a disdainful remark fell to the ground, spraying bright red blood.

It turns out that Princess Fumi from Lianzhou has arrived

The street in front of the auction house in the Magic City fell silent in an instant, so the footsteps coming from afar resonated in the hearts of everyone.

A man and a woman walked slowly, coming to a halt in front of the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus carriage of Fu Mi, clearly showing no intention of taking a detour. The man slightly raised his hand, and the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus showed signs of closing.

After this, the Queen of Ice State, ranked third on the list of beauties, also arrived. Although these three thousand states are all states, the shorter the name, the higher the status of the state. For example, the Northern Falling Star State is not as prestigious as the Demon Capital State, and the Demon Capital State is not as prestigious as the Ice State

The decade-long Magic City Trade Fair has attracted powerful figures from the realms of demons, monsters, and humans. The immortals have their own rules, the monsters have their own laws, but the demons, who thrive on chaos, dare to sell anything and buy anything.

Eight horses appeared in the rosy clouds, each adorned with wings and a snow-white horn on their heads

The man smiled gently and looked towards Fumi, who gave him a cold glance before turning to enter the auction. She also shot a glare at Ge Wuyou, who only knew how to flatter the esteemed figures above, with a disdainful expression of "a dog looking down on people".

The carriage stopped in front of the auction house in the Magic City, and two young children with long hair emerged from the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus, each holding a broom. With a gentle wave, they swept a path clear. The people on either side of the road were swept away by the wind from the brooms, losing their balance and falling to the side of the road

She is Princess Fumi, ranked first on the list of beauties! Everyone sighed lightly, with only one voice in their hearts, that is, she is truly deserving of the title.

"How could they possibly use the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus to forge a carriage? Is there any justice in this?" someone cried out in anguish and anger.

The Moon Shooting Fairy not only ranks thirty-third on the beauty list of the three thousand states, but also possesses extraordinary strength, hailing from the Star Picking Sect among the three major sects

Eight flying horses each carried a handsome young man, who, believing himself to be charming, elegant, and unparalleled, felt awkward upon seeing these eight youths, to the point that he was even embarrassed to wave his folding fan.

"Look quickly." The exclamations came one after another, "It is a real Pegasus."

Fumi was taken aback; such a "momentary spectacle" was beyond the capabilities of those in the lower realms. She gathered her divine power and focused her gaze, only to find that the man was exceptionally handsome, incomparable, yet in an instant, all she could remember was the word "handsome".

It is the Cloud Mist Battle Suit! Everyone's eyes revealed an expression of obsession and greed

It is uncertain whether it is a pity that she herself did not obtain the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus, or if it is a pity that such a treasure as the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus has actually fallen into the hands of someone from the lower realm

Once again, there was a flurry of curses, but no one dared to step forward to cause trouble. Those with discernment had already noticed that all eight young men had entered the Innate Realm, making it as easy for them to crush others as it would be to squash ants

The Pegasus comes from the upper realm, which is not found in the three thousand states. Therefore, those who can use the Pegasus from the upper realm to pull a cart are undoubtedly super strong individuals or super wealthy tycoons within the three thousand states

Eight horses galloped uniformly before the people, and then retreated in perfect unison to form two columns. Only then did the onlookers see that behind the eight horses were two rows of celestial maidens, all of whom were as beautiful as flowers and jade, resembling the morning mist and the rosy clouds. Their pale yellow garments fluttered gracefully as they scattered five-colored lotus petals in their hands

Is that not the case? This is just the beginning; just wait and see, today it is possible that the famous beauties from our three thousand states will also come. A man dressed in a pink robe, with a face like powdered rice, and holding a folding fan, said.

I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be a lotus demon. There are also those who look down upon it

The beauties selected in this beauty list are all individuals of exceptional beauty, naturally unadorned, and this is the true essence of beauty. No wonder that when the moon is shot, even the vendors shouting in the streets are left in a daze.

The Tianma slowly appeared before everyone, pulling a carriage crafted from the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus. This Nine Nether Sacred Lotus is a treasure of heaven and earth, said to pave a path to the upper realm with its petals. If consumed, the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus can allow one to directly transition from the acquired realm to the innate realm

Magic City State

If the grand spectacle of Princess Fumi's appearance and the current silence were solely maintained by her martial prowess, then the silence enveloping the venue at this moment is entirely due to the oppressive presence of the two individuals

Someone stood on tiptoe to gaze into the distance, and only then did they see two figures appearing at the end of the long street. As they slowly approached, it became clear that one was a man and the other a woman

Indeed, she is as beautiful as a fish sinking and a wild goose falling, as well as a moon hidden and flowers shamed

Magic City can be considered the largest black market among the three thousand regions, making it impossible not to be prosperous

Those with keen eyes will notice that the one who made the move is indeed one of the Eight Steeds youths

No one dared to make any sound again

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure in a white shirt and blue skirt appeared at the other end of the street. With keen eyesight and a quick tongue, Shen Yan remarked: "It is the Moon Shooting Fairy from Beiluo Star Prefecture"

"What kind of fairy? Just a flute demon, an unsophisticated thing that has never seen the world." someone scolded lightly.

After the arrival of the Ice Queen, the domain lord of the Sea and Sky State, the elder of the Silver Moon Sect, and the foremost young talent of the Five Immortals Pavilion, Qing Xian, among others, all gathered. These are figures whose mere stamp of a foot could shake an entire state three times

This is the Pegasus of Pegasus State, and it is said that they possess the bloodline of the heavenly horse, as noted by those with extensive knowledge

A person from the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus lightly floated down, casually and artistically landing on the carpet woven from lotus petals. She wore a dress made of the most famous "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" fabric from Wuzhou, in a color reminiscent of the sky after rain, a blue tinged with purest white, and the white infused with vibrant green.

"Even the powerful beings from the upper realms have taken an interest in the items at the auction in the Magic City?" a man with a goatee and raised eyebrows asked in surprise

Fu Mi felt a jolt in her heart; the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus was her magical treasure, connected to her spirit. The moment this man made his move, he was able to shake the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus, showing signs of wanting to take it away. Fu Mi was not one to show off her abilities. With a flicker of her eyes, she saw the Nine Nether Sacred Lotus instantly shrink, ultimately forming a flower pin that flew up into her hair.

Today marks the opening of the largest auction house in the Magic City—Magic City Auction House. Its owner is the domain lord of Magic City State, who has single-handedly created the prosperity of today's Magic City State. One can only imagine how stunning its decade-long auction gala will be.

The leading yellow-clad maid furrowed her brow, and with a flick of her flowing sleeves, the bright red blood that was sprayed coalesced into a blood ball. With another wave of her sleeve, the blood ball was cast into the clouds, its destination unknown
