The Story Never Ends

After a long journey, Davion could finally see the outline of Mulberry City from the carriage. When he got near, he could see that the city was surrounded by huge walls. Due to the incoming selection of candidates by the sects, there were many carriages coming to the city. So, all the carriages were being checked by the city guards. Some carriages easily entered the city by showing a golden card. The city guards were very respectful to them. Seeing this, Davion asked, "What is this golden card?"

"This golden card is only given to the cultivators by the city lord. Cultivators are always respected wherever they go," replied Oliver as he also took out his golden card.

The carriages were passing smoothly and when it was Davion's turn, Oliver showed his card. The guards bowed and allowed the carriage to pass the city smoothly. Davion could finally see what the city looked like. It was really beautiful compared to the cities on Earth. There were beautiful mulberry trees everywhere like the name of the city suggested. Hawkers were trying to sell their goods; people were yelling and others were exclaiming. Children were making a din.

Davion asked the old servant to stop the carriage. "Thank you for letting me here." Davion bowed and thanked them sincerely.

"Why not stay with us today and go to the ceremony together?" asked Nisha.

"I heard that after three days, the ceremony takes place as the sects have yet to come."

"No, no....I have some work to do here. Let's meet when the ceremony takes place. It might also be trouble for you guys if I stay." replied Davion.

"Ok, then let's meet after 3 days. Take care," said Oliver.

The old servant stopped the carriage. Davion pulled back the carriage's veil and alighted, stepping onto the greyish white street covered with bluestone tiles, each as big as a face basin. On the street, carriages, and horses led by people traveled in either direction. He raised his head and saw a large number of shops nearby.

"I have no money. I don't know which currency works in this world. It looks like I have to sell those demon cores first."

Going forward and looking left and right, he finally found a weird shop nearby. There were two tiger-shaped statues at the front door. He could feel that the people coming and going out of the shop were extraordinary. They were brimming with energy and looked sharp and strong. The shop was named "Mulberry Auction House".

"Wow, so this is an auction house. This really may be the best place for selling items among cultivators."

After going through the door, he was welcomed by a female wearing a maid costume. She bowed and asked, "Sir, what are you looking for."

"This is my first time coming to an auction house. I want to sell demon cores that I obtained from my recent journey," replied Davion calmly.

Seeing the handsome person who was confident and wanted to sell demon cores, she thought that he was a powerful cultivator from a noble family.

"Sir, please wait." replied the maid.

Davion saw that the maid went to look for someone. After a couple of minutes, the maid brought an old man with her. The old man focused his eyes upon Davion but found that he could not see his cultivation. He just looked like an ordinary mortal. The old man was shocked. This only happens when your opponent's cultivation is higher than you or he is using some items to hide it. Either way, the old man did not want to offend the young man.

"Hello sir, I am Robert, the manager of this auction house. I heard that you were selling demon cores, so I came to identify it and give you a fair price." said the old man hurriedly.

Robert signaled the maid to go. After the maid left, Robert asked Davion to take out his items. Davion slowly opened his bag and seven demon cores were shining there.

Seeing too many demon cores, Robert got shocked and quickly thought that big business has come. "Sir please wait, I will check its value and give you a favorable amount."

Robert immediately took out an item that looked like a cauldron from his storage ring. Seeing the storage ring Davion's eyes lit up.

"It looks like storage rings do exist. Hope I can purchase them today." thought Davion.

Robert immediately put those demon cores inside the cauldron and after a while, the cauldron started to glow. Afterward, Robert replied, "Sir, you have killed these beasts recently. They are two thunderwolfs, a flameape, two swamp pythons, and two one-eyed eagles."

Seeing that Robert has managed to find out about these items just in a second, Davion got shocked by the items in this world. But the one who got shocked the most was Robert when he found that all these beasts were killed recently. "Is he a golden core cultivator?" Robert had sweat on his forehead.

"Sir, will you like to auction it or like to sell it directly?" asked Robert, wiping up the sweat on his forehead.

"But before that can you tell me where you can buy a space ring," asked Davion.

"Sir, you have come to the right place. We do have space rings. The larger the size the more expensive it gets. We have two sizes of space rings available today. One is the size of an average table and the other is a little smaller. The price of the bigger one is 1000 low-grade spirit stones and of the smaller one is 500 low-grade spirit stones." replied Robert.

"It looks like there are lower grade, middle grade, and upper-grade spirit stones as those novels in my previous life," thought Davion.
