Chapter 197
The central square was very easy to find, because it was in the very center of the city, and also because it was the most peaceful area in the entire city. Every other place in the city was noisy except for the central square. In fact, there was not a soul in sight from a certain point till the central square because it was a restricted area to everyone in the city except the participants.
The square was large, taking roughly one seventh of the entire city. The square was bare with only about three large buildings. In the very center of this square was a huge square arena. This arena was large and had four large pillars at the four corners of the arena, each pillar as thick as ten humans together. One could tell from the runes engraved on the four pillars that there was a powerful formation on the arena and the pillars were the cores of the formation.
Long Feng's attention was drawn to this arena the moment he saw it and he couldn't help but ask,
"What sort of formation was laid on this arena?"
"I'm not sure, but according to the rumors, this arena was built to copy the main arena where the hundred continent meeting takes place. Even the formation is only a copy that captures a tenth of the true arena" Yan jian replied.
Long Feng was instantly dumbfounded.
"This is just a copy? And only a tenth of the main one?"
"That's right. This one tenth I said is just an estimation. It could be exaggerated, but it could also be an underestimation of the true arena. I personally think the main arena should be much more grandeur than this. It was after all, something built by the four region's forces" Yan jian added, his face bursting with pride at his knowledge.
Long Feng stared at the large arena for a moment longer before he looked around. To the right of the arena was a tall tower. The tower was magnificently built and was the next most eye-catching building after the arena.
"What's that tower?"
"Em… I'm not so sure, but er…it should be an important building" Yan jian muttered.
Long Feng glanced at him,
"You don't know?"
"It's alright for me to occasionally not know some things. Besides, it's probably not an important building which is why I don't know it" Yan jian huffed.
"It doesn't look unimportant to me" Long Feng shrugged and turned to another building. This one was located at the other end of the central square, almost not even within the square at all. It was a large palace, the largest palace Long Feng had ever seen. On the main entrance, a plaque with the words 'Yi and Hua Auction House' was hanged above the door. The palace gave off a feeling of grandeur and wealth with a touch of elegance.
"Now that's a truly famous building. The Yi and Hua Auction House is the best auction house in the entire continent, jointly managed by the Yi and Hua clans. It only opens once in ten years, during this selection period, but the Yi and Hua clan use this period of ten years to gather precious treasures to be auctioned. These treasures range from incomplete spirit armament to imperial armaments and imperial grade martial skills and rare cultivation resources." Yan jian explained before Long Feng could even ask.
"Oh" Long Feng nodded and paused looking slightly hesitant.
"What? Have a question?" Yan jian asked with a cheeky grin.
"A small question actually. What is an auction?" Long Feng asked softly.
His question froze the grin on Yan jian's face and even Li Yue'er's brows raised in shock under her veil. She almost couldn't stop herself from smiling at Long Feng's naiveness.
Yan jian was similarly lost for words and he was about to laugh out. But right then, a burst of laughter sounded from behind them.
Yan jian looked back, almost jumping in shock while Long Feng frowned and turned around.
