Ganwu Auction

Led by the attendant, Bai Yue and Luo Feng joined the orderly queue to enter the auction hall.

The venue was packed with people of every imaginable form, all lining up in an orderly fashion. Some wore lavish clothing, others ancient-looking attire. Some had snake bodies, while others stood seven or eight meters tall, incredibly brawny.

The auction hall had sixteen entrances, with several thousand people queued at each one. That meant there were roughly more than a hundred thousand holders of Three Stars accounts present.

One had to know that Three Stars clients were almost all World Masters! Only a very small number were major merchants or young people with extraordinary backgrounds.

"Hello, sir. Welcome to this Ganwu Auction. Here is your seat number." The attendant handed him a token.

After entering the auction hall, Bai Yue and Luo Feng found their seats according to the numbers on their tokens. The seats were six meters wide—larger than his own bed. Bai Yue silently complained to himself.

Three hours later.

As a bald old man carrying a black turtle shell on his back stepped onto the stage, the vast auction hall immediately fell silent. Everyone consciously stopped talking.

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

Only after the nonsense was over did the auction truly begin. As time passed, item after item was displayed, bid on, and sold to the people below.

There were planets and star systems, weapons, and all kinds of treasures among the auction items, but none of them caught Bai Yue's interest.

Until—

"Lanke Fruit—the finest item for nurturing spirit beasts and plant life. Even if one is seriously injured, consuming a Lanke Fruit has healing effects. One hundred Lanke Fruits make up one lot. There are thirty-nine lots of Lanke Fruits here, with a starting price of 100 billion universe coins per lot."

Bai Yue sat up straight, his eyes shining. Plant life was an important part of one's strength. After arriving on Qiu Long Star, he had also bought a plant lifeform to cultivate, so this was definitely good stuff!

He bought ten lots of Lanke Fruits, spending more than 1.8 trillion universe coins.

Just as in the original story, Luo Feng still bought the Yan Shen Armament.

Because he was short on funds, he was clearly anxious while bidding. Only after Bai Yue noticed something was wrong and asked him about it did he offer support. In the end, they secured it for 3.6101 trillion universe coins.

Ten days passed without them noticing, and the auction finally reached its conclusion. The final centerpiece item was about to appear!

"The next auction item is even rarer. Even at auctions in the various Universe Kingdoms, it is difficult to see something like this—the skin of a Moshazhu Race clansman!" the turtle-shell old man shouted loudly. Instantly, the densely packed World Master experts seated on the million thrones throughout the auction hall erupted into a frenzy.

Luo Feng was tempted again when he saw it, but it truly was the most suitable item for him. It could make up for his weakness in Space Law. At present, he had not even touched the threshold of Space Law, while the Moshazhu Race were darlings of space.

Fortunately, the item was incomplete, so Luo Feng managed to get a bargain.

With that, the Ganwu Auction was more or less over. Carrying their abundant gains, the two paid for their auction purchases and left the auction hall.

Half a month later, they finally received their auction items. Bai Yue, however, had set his sights on the Yan Shen Armament and the Moshazhu Race skin fragment Luo Feng had bought. As for why he had not bid for them at the auction—if he could copy them with his own ability, why spend money?

After the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone broke through to the Domain Lord Level, every ability of the Dao Fruit had improved greatly. Coupled with the Kinkaku Giant Beast's enormous size, it was like a tiger gaining wings.

Using Analyze All Things, an ordinary fifth-rank Force Weapon could now be analyzed in just a few minutes. Moreover, the Kinkaku Giant Beast clone did not need to make physical contact with it. As long as it was within the clone's perception range, the ability could be used.

Even the Yan Shen Armament, one of the Controller's nine great divine weapons, was essentially only a fifth-rank Force Weapon. It might take a little longer, but it was not an unacceptable amount of time. As for the Moshazhu Race skin fragment, because it was only at the Universe Level, even though its essence was extremely high, it took very little time.

The reason he wanted to analyze and copy the Yan Shen Armament was merely to add another method to his arsenal. When fighting enemies in large numbers, using a Mental Master's methods to clear out the small fry was indeed much faster.

Besides, adding another sought-after item to his shelves was a good thing. Given enough time, he could completely drive down the Yan Shen Armament's price—slash it to the bone!

After spending some time completing the analysis, he eagerly activated the creation ability. More than ten minutes later, a strange dark-golden 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 transfer point to pass around objects without living consciousness. This meant he would no longer have to worry about losing treasures in the future. Whenever one clone encountered danger, it could place the items on its body into the Dao Fruit space. Even if someone killed the clone, they would not obtain anything useful.

On Earth, within Hongning Base City, Bai Yue, Luo Feng, and Hong sat facing one another. As for Thunder God, because he had received the Thunder Realm Lord's inheritance, he was undergoing special training under the Intelligent Life, Master Wu, and was not there.

"You two busy men, what brings you to me?" Hong asked, still dressed in black.

"We attended the Ganwu Auction and bought some good things, so we came to bring you some!"

Bai Yue and Luo Feng did not stand on ceremony. They picked up the teacups before them and took a sip. Bai Yue's eyes lit up. "Mm, good tea."

Although the four of them had not become sworn brothers as they had in the original story, they were as close as brothers. On Earth, aside from their families, they could only let down their guard and speak from the heart with one another.

"This Lanke Fruit has relatively mild medicinal properties. Your Moyun Vine will definitely be able to absorb it. These one hundred Lanke Fruits—have it consume one every ten days. After three years, once it has eaten all one hundred, I guarantee your Moyun Vine will reach the third or fourth stage of the Universe Level." Bai Yue took out one lot of Lanke Fruits and gave it to Hong.

"Oh?" Hong was somewhat delighted.

"By the way, there have been more experts in the Slaughter Arena's battle space lately. I don't know what's going on." Hong frowned as he spoke to Bai Yue and Luo Feng.

"More?" Bai Yue and Luo Feng were stunned.

They had been attending the auction recently, so they truly did not know what was happening in the Slaughter Arena's battle space.

"Yes. In the past, I could easily defeat many people, but now a whole group of genius experts has suddenly appeared. And these people rarely showed themselves in the Slaughter Arena's battle space before." Hong said, "One or two geniuses appearing suddenly would be one thing, but so many appearing at once... I feel that something has happened."

After giving it some thought, Bai Yue guessed what it was. Seeing the confused expressions on their faces, he told them his guess.

"Perhaps the Cosmic Peak Genius Battle is about to begin!" After saying that, he had the Intelligent Assistant, Long Kui, call Thunder God over as well.

Only after Thunder God arrived did he continue explaining.

"The Cosmic Peak Genius Battle is... This edition is organized by the Virtual Universe Company. In short, it is an excellent opportunity to make a name for yourselves!"

After learning this news, everyone found renewed motivation in their cultivation. They all hoped to make a name for themselves in the upcoming Cosmic Peak Genius Battle and achieve good results.
