A series of explosions suddenly rang out.
Whether they were Tier 4 magical beasts or those below Tier 3, they all turned completely into pools of blood.
“Overestimating themselves.”
Ling Long turned her head and bowed to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao also nodded with satisfaction.
With Ling Long and Niu Meng protecting him, he could walk sideways in any region except for the Central Plains and no longer needed to worry about anything else.
Now, the most important thing was to find a suitable place to establish the auction house.
This place was overgrown with trees, and since so many magical beasts had just died, the air was filled with the smell of blood, making it unsuitable for construction.
The heavy rain stopped, the dark clouds faded, and the bright moonlight reclaimed the sky.
Ling Long’s gaze was deep; she seemed to see what was on the Pavilion Master’s mind.
She immediately leaped into the air and, after surveying the surroundings, found a location perfectly suited for the establishment of an auction house.
There, willows lined the lakeshore, flowers were in full bloom, and the temperature was pleasant—it was a rare beautiful spot in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
The lake water rippled, shimmering under the moonlight.
“Pavilion Master, your subordinate has found a place suitable for the establishment of the auction house.”
Hearing this, Li Xiao spoke: “Then let’s go take a look.”
Since he had not become a Dou Wang, it was naturally impossible for him to transform Dou Qi into wings, nor did he possess the long-lost flying Dou Techniques; he could only travel on foot.
Of course, he could have chosen to let Ling Long or Niu Meng help him, but he refused.
Having finally arrived at the Dou Qi Continent, he naturally wanted to admire the rare sights and scenes of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Ling Long and the other followed closely behind the Pavilion Master.
Under their powerful auras, the magical beasts that had luckily survived earlier cast fearful glances.
At this moment, they naturally didn’t dare to take another step forward, fearing this human woman would stretch out a finger and crush them to death.
Before long, the three arrived at the place Ling Long had mentioned.
The environment here was beautiful, with cliffs rising on both sides, curving slightly inward like a seashell, becoming narrower the higher they went.
The cliff walls had a peculiar color, glowing with a pearly light like jade.
Just then, a sliver of twilight slanted into the canyon, shining on the walls and reflecting repeatedly.
For a moment, the canyon was filled with flowing gold and overflowing colors, dazzling the eyes.
Such a scene was absolutely rare in this world full of slaughter.
Li Xiao was also quite satisfied; building the auction house here was indeed a good idea.
Therefore, he arranged for the system to place the rewarded auction house here.
Along with a flash of golden light, a massive building appeared from the void and crashed onto the ground.
The powerful shockwave produced a deafening sound like a meteorite hitting the earth, even kicking up dust a hundred meters high from the recently rained-upon ground.
The experts located in the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range were all alarmed.
For such a staggering force to exist, a rare treasure must have appeared!
The auction house resembled a pagoda from an ancient television drama, totaling six floors.
Each floor was carved with dense runes, adding a bit of mystery to the already majestic auction house.
The aura of sacredness and inviolability also startled the birds and beasts in all directions, as they all revealed expressions of terror.
The plaque at the entrance of the first floor was empty; it was clear that Li Xiao needed to choose a name himself.
After thinking it over, Li Xiao spoke: “Let it be called…
Heaven Ascension Pavilion!”
Heaven Ascension Pavilion—reaching the heavens in a single step.
It was truly full of dominance.
Just as the words fell, three traditional characters appeared on the plaque: Heaven Ascension Pavilion!
Li Xiao stepped forward with satisfaction.
Niu Meng, being very attentive, opened the door and made an inviting gesture with a smile.
The first floor of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion was not large, enough to accommodate about two hundred people, while the floors above were partitioned rooms.
As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the significance of partitioned rooms.
They were mainly prepared for major clients, such as experts at the Dou Huang or Dou Zong level.
They came from all over the world and were naturally incredibly proud; if they sat with ordinary Dou Shi, wouldn’t they lose face?
The first-floor hall was sacred and noble.
In the center was an auction platform made entirely of high-quality crystal stone, and even the hammer used for the auction was made of pure gold.
One could imagine how reliable the system was.
The second and third floors were all private rooms, with soundproof panels on all sides.
No matter what sounds occurred, the other party wouldn’t be able to hear them, and bidding only required speaking through a port.
This not only protected the privacy of the bidders but also gave them a greater sense of security.
This would lead them to spend more gold coins.
Next was the fourth floor, which was already the lounge area.
Placing some daily necessities there was quite good.
In the world of the Dou Qi Continent, there was no fancy or flamboyant magic; there was only Dou Qi that had multiplied to its peak!
Here, the truly strong spoke with their strength!
Moreover, the most important point was that practicing here would yield double the results; one day of practice here was equivalent to seven days in the outside world.
Li Xiao cleared his throat, “Ling Long, Niu Meng.”
“Subordinates are here!”
“From today onward, the Heaven Ascension Pavilion Auction is officially established.
All affairs of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion will be handled by Ling Long alone, while Niu Meng will be responsible for everything outside the pavilion.
Anyone who dares to trespass here will be killed without mercy!”
“Yes!”
The two bowed in unison with their hands clasped.
Although the two were powerful, they were rewards given to Li Xiao by the system, so they would naturally follow his words blindly.
Even if he ordered them to die, they would commit suicide without hesitation, so there was no need to worry about them developing rebellious intentions.
Li Xiao shrugged and sat back in a chair, crossing his legs.
With a lift of his right hand, the Green Lotus Core Flame, nineteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, slowly rose up.
The Heavenly Flame appeared exceptionally calm here, not at all as violent as Li Xiao had understood.
But Li Xiao knew that this was all thanks to the current Heaven Ascension Pavilion.
Without these things, the Green Lotus Core Flame would probably have burned him to ash long ago.
“System, how can I quickly increase my cultivation?”
In this world, if one wanted to establish a foothold, one had to possess outstanding strength.
Otherwise, even with Ling Long and Niu Meng protecting him, it would be difficult for him to survive more than three episodes.
[According to the host’s question, the system provides two answers.
First, you can stay in the Heaven Ascension Pavilion to practice; with your talent, you will surely break through to the Dou Zun realm in ten years.
Second, auction items; any items that fetch a high price will be rewarded.]
“Then wouldn’t my identity be seen through at a glance here?”
He was only a Dou Zhe; establishing an auction house that would become famous throughout the Dou Qi Continent would naturally fail to convince the public.
[As long as you are within a 500-meter radius of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion, even if a Dou Di comes, they will not be able to see through your realm, nor will they be able to kill you.]
Hearing this, Li Xiao’s hanging heart finally settled down.
In other words, as long as he didn’t leave the range of the Heaven Ascension Pavilion before he grew stronger, he would never be killed!
What a conscientious system!
Such a good system was rare; he had to give it a thumbs up!
