Ganwu Auction

Under the attendant's guidance, Bai Yue and the others lined up in an orderly fashion, waiting to enter the auction hall.

The scene was a sea of people, all sorts of beings queuing in an orderly manner, dressed either in finery or in simple, ancient garb. Some had serpentine bodies, others stood seven or eight meters tall, towering and imposing.

The auction hall had sixteen entrances in total, with several thousand people queuing at each one. That meant there were roughly over a hundred thousand holders of Three-Star accounts present.

One had to know that Three-Star clients were almost all Realm Lords! The rare exceptions were a few major merchants or young people with extraordinary backgrounds.

"Sir, hello, welcome to this session of the Ganwu Auction. This is your seat number." The attendant handed him a token.

After entering the auction hall, Bai Yue and Luo Feng found their seats based on the number on the token. The seat was six meters wide, bigger than his own bed, Bai Yue silently grumbled.

Three hours later.

As an old man with a shaved head and a black tortoise shell on his back stepped onto the stage, the vast auction hall fell silent. Everyone consciously stopped talking.

"Welcome to this session of the Ganwu Auction. Thank you..." The old man's enormous projection appeared in the center, and he began his opening remarks.

Once the pleasantries were over, the auction began. As time passed, item after item was displayed and then bid away by the people below.

These items included planets and star systems, weapons, and various treasures, but none caught Bai Yue's attention.

Until.

"Lanke Fruit, the best item for nurturing spirit beasts and plant life. Even if one is severely injured, consuming a Lanke Fruit has a healing effect. One hundred Lanke Fruits make up a single unit. Here we have a total of thirty-nine units of Lanke Fruit, with a minimum bid of one hundred billion Universe Coins per unit."

Bai Yue sat up straight, his eyes gleaming. He knew that plant life was a crucial part of personal strength. After arriving at Qiu Long Star, he had also purchased a plant life to cultivate, so this was definitely a good thing!

So he bought ten units of Lanke Fruit, spending over one trillion eight hundred billion Universe Coins.

Just like in the original story, Luo Feng still bought the Yan Shen Bing.

Because he was short on funds, his bidding was noticeably anxious. Bai Yue, sensing something was wrong, asked and then offered support. The final bid was three trillion six hundred one billion Universe Coins, and they secured it.

Unbeknownst to them, ten days had passed. Finally, the auction was nearing its end, and the last grand finale item was about to appear!

"The next auction item is even rarer and more unusual. Even at auctions in various Universe Kingdoms, it's hard to come across such an item—the skin of a Moshazhu Race member!" the tortoise-shell old man announced loudly. Instantly, the million thrones in the auction hall erupted as countless Realm Lord experts buzzed with excitement.

Seeing this item, Luo Feng's interest was piqued again. But it truly was the most suitable thing for him. It could make up for his weakness in Space Law. As it stood, he hadn't even touched the edge of Space Law, and the Moshazhu Race were the darlings of space.

Fortunately, this item was incomplete, so Luo Feng still managed to snag a bargain.

With that, the Ganwu Auction came to an end. Carrying their full haul, the two paid for their auction items and exited the auction hall.

Half a month later, they finally received their auction winnings. Bai Yue, however, had his eye on Luo Feng's Yan Shen Bing and Moshazhu skin fragments. As for why he hadn't bid on them at the auction—if he could replicate them with his own ability, why spend the money?

After the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone broke through to the Domain Lord Level, all the abilities of the Dao Fruit had been greatly enhanced. Combined with the Kinkaku Giant Beast's massive size, it was like a tiger gaining wings.

Using the Analyze All Things ability, ordinary fifth-tier Force Weapons now only took a few minutes. And it didn't even require the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone to physically touch them—as long as they were within the clone's perception range, the ability could be used.

Even the Yan Shen Bing, one of the nine divine weapons of a controller, was essentially just a fifth-tier Force Weapon. It might take a bit more time, but not to an unbearable degree. As for the Moshazhu skin fragments, since they were only Universe Level, even though their essence was extremely high, the time required was very short.

The reason for analyzing and replicating the Yan Shen Bing was simply to add another tool to his arsenal. When facing a large number of enemies, using Mental Master techniques to clear out the small fry was indeed much faster.

Besides, adding another hot-selling item to his shelves was a good thing. Give him time, and he could completely drive down the price of the Yan Shen Bing—break it down to the bone!

After spending some time completing the analysis, he eagerly activated the creation ability. About ten minutes later, a strange, dark-golden long staff appeared in his hand.

This was one of the abilities he had discovered after studying the Golden Finger. His three clones could use the Dao Fruit Space as a relay station to transfer non-living, non-conscious items. This meant he no longer had to worry about losing treasures. If one of his clones encountered danger, he could store everything on him into the Dao Fruit Space. Even if the clone was killed, the enemy would gain nothing useful.

On Earth, inside Hongning Base City, Bai Yue, Luo Feng, and Hong sat facing each other. As for Thunder God, having received the inheritance of the Thunder Realm Lord, he was undergoing special training with the Intelligent Life "Master Wu" and wasn't here.

"What brings you two busybodies to my place?" Hong, still dressed in black, said.

"We just attended the Ganwu Auction and bought some good stuff. Thought we'd bring some over for you!"

Bai Yue and the other didn't stand on ceremony. They picked up the teacups in front of them and took a sip. Bai Yue's eyes lit up. "Mm, good tea."

Though the four of them hadn't sworn brotherhood like in the original story, they were closer than brothers. On Earth, aside from family, the only ones they could let their guard down and open their hearts to were each other.

"These Lanke Fruits have a relatively mild medicinal property. Your Moyun Vine will definitely be able to absorb them. Here are one hundred Lanke Fruits. Take one every ten days. Spend three years on it, and after eating all one hundred, I guarantee your Moyun Vine will reach Universe Level tier three or four." Bai Yue took out a set of Lanke Fruits and gave them to Hong.

"Oh?" Hong was pleasantly surprised.

"By the way, there have been more experts in the Slaughter Arena's duel space lately. Not sure what's going on." Hong frowned at Bai Yue and Luo Feng.

"More?" Bai Yue and Luo Feng were taken aback.

They had been busy with the auction recently and really didn't know about the situation in the "Slaughter Arena duel space."

"Yeah. In the past, I could easily beat a lot of people. But now, a whole bunch of genius experts have suddenly appeared. And these people rarely showed up in the 'Slaughter Arena duel space' before," Hong said. "If it were just one or two geniuses appearing out of nowhere, that would be one thing. But so many at once—I feel like something's happening."

Bai Yue thought for a moment and quickly guessed what it was. Seeing the confused looks on their faces, he shared his speculation.

"It might be because the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle is about to begin!" After saying this, he had his Intelligent Assistant Long Kui call Thunder God over as well.

Once Thunder God arrived, he continued his explanation.

"The Cosmic Peak Genius Battle is... This session is hosted by the Virtual Universe Company. In short, it's an excellent opportunity to show off!"

After learning this news, everyone's training gained a new drive. They all hoped to make a name for themselves and achieve great results in the upcoming Cosmic Peak Genius Battle.
