Chapter 1975: Chapter 1957: Auction
"Yes, is there a problem?" Lin Feng looked at Yan Yu, knowing precisely what Yan Yu had in mind, and imdiately spoke calmly.
"No problem, I will arrange the relevant matters right away." At this mont, Yan Yu was at a loss for words. Hearing Lin Feng’s words, he quickly ca to his senses, imdiately responding and arranging for others to call in appraisers to evaluate and handle the appropriate procedures.
To be honest, he was envious of the items Lin Feng took out, but he knew sothing else—if Lin Feng could produce so many good items, the person behind Lin Feng must be terrifying beyond imagination, probably not even worth pondering over.
With this thought, after briefly explaining the situation here, he went to see the auction house owner, Xu Tongqian, and recounted the events.
Xu Tongqian hadn’t expected to encounter such a client, but after a mont of contemplation, he said to Yan Yu, "This young man is likely entrusted by his master; there must be sothing they fancy on the auction list. So, here’s the plan—tell the team that if this young man purchases anything, there’s no need to charge any processing fees. Moreover, any future auctions he attends will only require half the usual fee."
Xu Tongqian thought this arrangent was beneficial, easy to conclude that Lin Feng surely had an extraordinary backer. It was definitely advantageous for the auction house to be on good terms with Lin Feng, especially since his master was an alchemist, which made everything even more straightforward.
Ti flew by; one "shichen" later, Lin Feng walked out of the auction house, having put the relevant auction entrustnt procedures into his Space Ring. He was just waiting for tomorrow’s auction to officially begin. Unexpectedly, at the last mont, Yan Yu even provided him with a private room for tomorrow’s auction and offered a substantial discount. This way, he wouldn’t attract attention at tomorrow’s auction.
After leaving the auction house, Lin Feng headed straight outside the city. Under his Divine Sense, he had long since noticed a gathering of many cultivators outside the city, stationed every five steps and patrolling every ten. Internally, many experts were devising ways around a very particular area identified as the hidden estate that Sima Yunsheng ntioned.
Lin Feng also saw the crowd, but unless he wished, no one could see him. In a flash, he appeared at a place not far from the hidden estate. Over a hundred people were present; none could find a way to open the revealed estate. So Lin Feng’s sudden appearance went unnoticed as the complex scene involved dozens of sects and various sect-affiliated Loose Cultivators.
Looking at the front of the hidden estate enveloped by a light blue protective barrier, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. With a swift movent, he appeared in an unnoticed corner. He had encountered such barriers before and knew how to break them. Since these people hadn’t entered yet, he felt no need to be polite.
With his palm against the blue light mbrane, Lin Feng exuded a faint Golden Gang Qi. In less than a "shichen," he had found a way to open the estate; a flash of golden light on his injury followed, and he passed through the blue light mbrane, entering the revealed hidden estate.
Upon entering, Lin Feng was mystified to find no life forms. Glancing at the inscriptions atop the estate—"Without law or deity"—further piqued his curiosity. As he explored, Lin Feng was surprised to find that, apart from a pair of strange axes in the hall, there was nothing else within the estate.
These peculiar axes caught Li Fangneng’s attention, as neither was made of tal but seed crafted from so kind of blood-red stone, exuding a hint of Innate Spirit Treasure aura, sparking Lin Feng’s shock and interest.
After a brief contemplation, Lin Feng walked directly towards the blood-red stone axes...
Approaching the axes, he discovered a stone base beneath them, featuring inscriptions about the axes.
"These axes are called the Heaven-Tempering Axes, stumbled upon inadvertently. But the axes are sinister weapons, slowly devouring souls. After realizing this, the Emperor, fearing future misuse, sealed them here; later generations must not use these axes, rember, rember!"
Observing the stone base beneath the axes, a wicked grin appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. Since these axes are so special, if he were to take their base, one can only wonder what calamity these axes might stir, except that it won’t trouble Earth.
With this in mind, Lin Feng took the stone base of the axes. To prevent anyone from noticing anything unusual, he placed the axes back on the stone platform after this, and then he departed from there.
Later, Lin Feng took so ti to visit the vicinity of the forbidden zone around the Imperial City. To his surprise, he felt the Myriad Spirits Forbidden Land had sothing that intrigued him, but due to the upcoming auction, he decided to temporarily set aside the exploration of the forbidden zone.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, the Divine Oracle Auction House was bustling, preparing for the auction.
The influence of this auction was significant, drawing early attention and readiness from many who were keen to bid on certain items. The night before, word unexpectedly spread that the auction’s list was expanded with additional dozens of Heavenly Grade Elixirs and a few top-class Dharma Treasures, causing a frenzy. Instantly, people inside the Imperial City started scrambling for funds to bid for so of these items...
From early morning, many who had prepared started queuing at the auction entrance. The vast entrance was crowded, but to avoid affecting the auction, everyone’s identity had to be verified. When Lin Feng appeared, witnessing the scene, he could only helplessly shake his head before turning toward the separate pathway for VIP reception.
All those queuing were indignant; it took ages before they could enter, whereas the VIP pathway was almost empty. But frustration aside, those exclusive rooms were reserved for auction items worth tens of millions, leaving little choice for complaint.
Once inside the auction house, Lin Feng headed straight into the VIP room, awaiting the auction’s comncent. He had co early specifically to avoid encounters.
Over an hour and a half passed before the auction comnced. An elder approached the stage to lead the auction.
The initial items were not particularly significant, yet very appealing to individual buyers. The larger sects or families hadn’t acted, so no high prices were achieved, and everything proceeded smoothly, with nearly a hundred items auctioned in just about one "shichen."
A brief intermission followed, transitioning to the highlights of the auction.
The first major item was the Heavenly Grade Tier 3 Elixir, the Nine Splendors Jade Dew Elixir, igniting a small auction frenzy. This elixir was a life-saving pill for Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses, its value self-evident...
"Five hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Nine hundred thousand!"
...
Bidding soared quickly, surpassing the million mark. Once the price reached 1.2 million gold, it stabilized, ultimately being won by a sect at that price.
The subsequent elixirs also fetched notably high prices. Although not reaching the 1.2 million mark, they all sold for over a million. A Beast King Refinent Pill, a Tier 1 Heavenly Grade Elixir offered by Lin Feng, was sold to a family breeding Demon Beasts for a hefty two million!
After elixirs were auctioned off, Lin Feng calculated an inco of over thirty million gold. The next step would involve auctioning other items.
The first item post-elixir auction was a mysterious black stone. According to the auctioneer, this stone possessed unique properties that could accelerate the circulation of Gang Qi. However, its origin remained a mystery, even to the auction house appraisers.
Silence enveloped the room, as the unknown origin deterred interest. The base price was steep—one million gold—leaving bidders hesitant. With a million in hand, who would risk bidding on an unidentified stone?
Even the auctioneer struggled on stage, pushing the sale without success.
"One million."
Just as the auctioneer was about to announce a failed auction, Lin Feng spoke up with the minimum bid, driven by his intuition that the stone’s origin warranted exploration.
At the auction, no one else showed interest in the strange stone; either it was too peculiar, or its starting price was too high. Therefore, Lin Feng ultimately secured the stone at the minimum bid. Shortly thereafter, staff delivered the stone to him.
On closer inspection, Lin Feng was ecstatic; he sensed the stone was indeed extraordinary. From various signs, he suspected the stone to be the Black Spirit Stone that the Holy Soul Sect sought. His unanticipated find at the auction could allow him to analyze the opposition’s objective given ti.
Further items were auctioned, notably Dharma Treasures, but Lin Feng remained disinterested. Shortly, another item erged, technically a living entity—a black spiritual dicine plant. This black encompassed an unusual shade of crimson, yet strangely, atop the plant blood a small flower emanating a red glow, making the plant appear exceptionally eerie.
