The auction continued until sunset, with the final price nearing one hundred billion Spirit Stones. Such an immense fortune was enough to make even Jiang Hong lose his composure.
Fang Qinyun's expression was quite something. He was probably devastated at having such a vast fortune slip through his fingers.
The others in the private room were also chattering excitedly.
After tidying up, Jiang Hong invited Chu Fei and Fang Qinyun to dinner.
Standing at the entrance of the auction hall, Chu Fei silently watched all manner of intelligent lifeforms coming and going.
Powerful demon beasts and Dragon Beasts stopped one after another, luxurious "carriages" mounted on their backs as the major factions boarded the beast-drawn vehicles and departed.
Though he had been here for a year already, it still felt... extraordinary.
In just one day, this auction had shown Chu Fei both the prosperity and the dangers of the Inner World.
Everyone coming and going here was powerful. Even the attendants needed to be above 12.0, or they would be unable to withstand the aura of the experts here.
As he watched, a massive Dragon Turtle descended from the sky and landed before Chu Fei and the others. The carriage on its back bore three large characters: Ascending Dragon Hall. Several translations in other languages were displayed below them.
Jiang Hong invited Chu Fei. "Young friend, please."
Chu Fei did not stand on ceremony. After a brief word of thanks, he was actually the first to step aboard.
Quite a few people frowned at Chu Fei's "rude" behavior. But Chu Fei did not care. He walked straight to a seat, sat down, and quietly watched everyone else.
Fang Qinyun was somewhat timid and observed every courtesy, only for the people around him to look down on him all the more.
