Canaan Academy is located in the central part of the Black Corner Region, and it is the most powerful and oldest force in this area.
Moreover, the founding principal of Canaan Academy was a Semi-Saint in terms of strength. Even though this Semi-Saint has always been traveling across the Continent, even without counting this Dou Saint Expert, the other strongest individuals in Canaan Academy possess the strength of a Douzong, which is enough to look down upon all the heroes in the entire Black Corner Region.
The Black Corner Region is one of the most chaotic places on the Continent.
In the Black Corner Region, there are no laws to restrain one's actions, but only the survival laws of the jungle, where the weak have no right to live. Here, every day there are strong people dying, and all kinds of high-level Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques that are difficult to see outside can be found here in abundance.
The fact that Canaan Academy has been able to establish itself here and become the safest place in the Black Corner Region speaks volumes about its appeal.
Han Yue was born in a Douzong family in Zhongzhou but also came to Canaan Academy, drawn by its reputation, to further her studies, which is telling in itself.
After handling various procedures at Canaan Academy, Xu Ran and Ya Fei went to the nearby Black Seal City.
As for Xiao Yan, he had not bothered with him.
However, the fact that Xiao Yan possessed a strand of Strange Fire still surprised Xu Ran greatly. Xiao Yan's luck must be very strong.
Black Seal Auction House.
A curvaceous maid escorted Xu Ran and Ya Fei inside, with the maids sashaying their snake-like waists and swaying their tempting curves. These maids were trained and educated in various ways, knowing how to use their appearance to attract men.
"Please have a seat, and place the items you want to auction on the table," said the appraiser, who clearly paused for a moment upon seeing Xu Ran and Ya Fei, becoming much friendlier in their manner.
"I want to auction off these Dou Techniques, as well as these Cultivation Techniques," he said.
The Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques that Xu Ran had obtained from the Storage Rings of the two slain experts from the Hun Clan, were all brought out. All of these Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques were of a Profound Level or higher.
Even in Zhongzhou, they were not to be underestimated.
In the Black Corner Region, within Black Seal City, such items could be said to be worth a city's ransom.
After all, these items from the Soul Hall were not something Xu Ran felt heartache in selling.
"High-Level Profound Rank Dou Technique!"
"Mid-Level Earth Class Dou Technique!"
"This is an Earth Class Cultivation Technique!"
The staff member, looking at what Xu Ran had brought out, was sweating cold beads of sweat.
Even just gazing at the ancient words on the Dou Technique gave him the sensation that his soul was being consumed and crushed! And he, after all, was a Dou Spirit! As a Fighting Spirit Stronghold, he felt an unbearable pain just by glancing at the inscriptions on these Cultivation Techniques.
How frightening these Dou Techniques were!
Truly worthy of being Earth Class Dou Techniques!
"I'm not sure where you two noble individuals come from, but are you truly going to auction these level treasures?" The Dou Spirit level appraiser gasped, his eyes burning with fervor as he looked at Xu Ran.
In this Auction House, he had never auctioned any Earth Class Dou Techniques before!
If the news that they were going to auction such treasures spread, the entire Black Corner Region would be shaken!
This was their chance to make a name for themselves.
He could imagine, if the Sect Leader learned about his haul this time, he would have rendered a great service!
"We are just people from a small place, and these items were merely found in some ruins," Xu Ran said indifferently.
"I see, the two of you are really lucky," the appraiser said enviously as he looked at Xu Ran, while a greedy gleam shone in his eyes.
"The two of you, this is how it is, the Hei Yin Great Auction House belongs to our Liu Shan Men. Our Liu Shan Men is a famous major force in the Black Corner Region, and our Sect Leader Yuan Yi is one of the top ten experts in the black rankings. The items the two of you have brought out are too important, I can't make the call, I will go and report to the Sect Leader right now, and have the Sect Leader contact the two of you."
"No need, just keep these items on your end, I trust the reputation of your Liu Shan Men. Just mention it to your Sect Leader when the time comes," Xu Ran said.
"This...," the Fight Spirit Stronghold appraiser from Liu Shan Men looked at Xu Ran and Ya Fei as if they were fools, secretly thrilled in his heart, already regarding Xu Ran and Ya Fei as inexperienced youths.
In the Black Corner Region, it was survival of the fittest. If you showed even a hint of weakness, you would be completely devoured by those people. "This time, I really have made a great contribution. If these items are auctioned off, who knows how much money they will fetch, and our Liu Shan Men can swallow the proceeds whole. The Sect Leader will surely reward me, perhaps I could even become the manager of the great auction house all at once."
"Xu Ran, are you really going to hand over those Dou Techniques and Cultivation Techniques to them? Aren't you afraid they will seize them?"
As Xu Ran and Ya Fei were leaving, Ya Fei expressed her concerns.
Seeing Xu Ran give away those powerful Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques so easily, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"They are nothing valuable," Xu Ran said nonchalantly.
To Xu Ran, these items basically held no value.
"Even if they're not valuable to you, you can't just brush them off like that. They could fetch a lot of money. I was also hoping to use that money to build up our forces," Ya Fei grumbled, sticking out her tongue.
"Don't worry, I'm not that foolish," Xu Ran assured her.
"What do you think of this Hei Yin Great Auction House?" Xu Ran asked.
"This place is quite impressive; it's majestic, and it's at least ten times larger than the auction house in Wu Tan City. And the mere item appraiser already has a Dou Spirit 'Cultivation Level,' this auction house is much better than any of the Mitter Family's auction houses," Ya Ya replied after pondering seriously for a moment.
Having worked for the Mitter Family for so long, she naturally had substantial experience.
And in a place like the Black Corner Region, due to chaos, all sorts of items with unclear origins would be sold through auctions. Setting up an auction house here wasn't easy, and the profits from it were absolutely substantial!
This Hei Yin Great Auction House was Liu Shan Men's largest source of income.
"Xu Ran, don't tell me you're thinking of...?"
At that moment, Ya Fei had an epiphany. She thought, there's no way Xu Ran, who was so astute, could make such a rookie mistake.
It turned out Xu Ran was looking for an opportunity to wipe them out.
"You're really too much; you just arrived, and you want to take over their great auction house," Ya Ya mourned inwardly for this force targeted by Xu Ran, knowing that once he had set his sights, they were doomed.
Even the mighty Soul Hall wasn't regarded by Xu Ran; naturally, the forces of the Black Corner Region wouldn't stand a chance either.
"I'm not looking for trouble on purpose. If they are greedy and don't follow the rules, intending to swallow my items, then I will have to take action," Xu Ran said lightly.
