Bidding For Hidden Spirit Gauze! Xiao Yue's Gratitude!

The auction hall was brightly lit, its atmosphere already reaching a fever pitch.

Han Feng and Xiao Yue sat side-by-side in an inconspicuous corner, clad in black cloaks, indistinguishable from the three to four hundred cultivators present.

He subtly sensed his surroundings, discovering that this seemingly ordinary auction was actually a gathering of hidden talents.

The number of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators alone was likely no less than thirty.

Among them, several possessed exceptionally profound auras, clearly indicating they were late-stage Foundation Establishment powerhouses.

The rest were mostly Qi Refining cultivators, but anyone who could afford to be here was obviously well-off.

"Welcome, fellow Daoists, to the Star Moon Pavilion Auction!"

On the high platform, the elder hosting the auction, his face ruddy with health, offered a few brief pleasantries before getting straight to the point, clearly understanding that cultivators disliked idle chatter.

A maidservant ascended the stage, carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.

The elder whisked away the cloth, revealing a simple, ancient-looking golden long saber. Its blade emanated a sharp spiritual light.

"Our first item for auction is a high-grade Magic Item, the Golden Spirit Blade! This blade... is incomparably sharp and provides a significant boost to Daoists cultivating Golden attribute Cultivation Techniques! The starting bid is sixty Low-grade Spirit Stones!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the audience immediately bid.

"Seventy Spirit Stones!"

"Eighty!"

Bids rose and fell like waves, and soon, this Magic Item, which Han Feng found unremarkable, was finally sold for one hundred and twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones.

The subsequent items were mostly common Magic Items and materials.

Han Feng had little interest in them. His purpose for coming here was clear: Pills, or perhaps some special treasures.

His gaze remained fixed on the stage, and finally, several bottles of Pills for enhancing Magic Power were brought out.

"Wood Life Pill, ten pills per bottle, starting bid one hundred Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred and one!"

"I bid one hundred and three!"

Han Feng unhesitatingly joined the bidding.

Soon, five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones flowed out like water, exchanged for several bottles of reasonably good quality Pills.

As the auction progressed, the atmosphere grew even more fervent.

Finally, it was time for the items Han Feng had consigned to be presented.

When Manager Li personally brought the exquisite jade box onto the high platform and slowly opened it, a medicinal fragrance so rich it was almost tangible instantly permeated the entire auction hall.

Everyone's breathing hitched at that moment.

"Thousand Year... Thousand Year Purple Blood Ginseng!"

Someone's astonished cry broke the deathly silence.

The entire venue erupted!

"What? Did I hear that right? A Thousand Year Spirit Medicine?"

"How could such a heavenly treasure appear at an auction of this caliber?"

All the cultivators below, including those late-stage Foundation Establishment powerhouses with their steady auras, could no longer maintain their composure. Intense gazes were fixed upon the spirit medicine radiating a purple glow.

"The starting bid for this item is one thousand five hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones! Each subsequent bid must not be less than one hundred Spirit Stones!" The host elder's voice trembled slightly.

"Two thousand!"

A hoarse voice immediately rang out, raising the price by a significant margin.

"Two thousand two hundred!"

"I bid two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!"

The prices soared wildly, the intensity of the bidding far exceeding that of any previous item.

Ultimately, this Thousand Year Purple Blood Ginseng was sold for a sky-high price of three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.

And when a second Thousand Year Spirit Medicine of even better quality was presented, the frenzied atmosphere in the hall was reignited, ultimately fetching a staggering price of three thousand six hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.

After deducting the auction house's ten percent commission, Han Feng would receive six thousand Spirit Stones.

A truly colossal sum!

The auction continued.

Perhaps spurred by the Thousand Year Spirit Medicine, the competition for subsequent items also became exceptionally fierce.

One or two rare, top-tier Magic Items even caused people to spend lavishly, fetching prices of two to three thousand Spirit Stones.

"The next item to be auctioned is a rather special auxiliary Magic Item, named the Hidden Spirit Gauze!"

The host elder paused, signaling a maidservant to display the item.

It was a red veil as radiant as a sunset, as thin as cicada wings, shimmering with a mysterious luster under the lights.

"This Hidden Spirit Gauze has only one function: to conceal one's aura. Once worn, unless a Core Formation Stage ancestor personally arrives, even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense will be unable to discern anything!"

"Whether for exploring and treasure hunting, or for evading enemies, this item is an unparalleled treasure! Starting bid, one thousand Spirit Stones!"

As soon as the voice fell, bidding immediately erupted from the audience.

"One thousand two hundred Spirit Stones!"

A Magic Item that could elude even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was, needless to say, invaluable.

"Isolates aura... that's quite a useful thing."

Han Feng murmured softly beneath his cloak.

A flash of inspiration struck him, and he recalled a certain scene from the original novel.

This item seemed to be a Magic Item used by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xuan Le from the Moongazing Sect, during his struggle with Han Li after discovering an ancient teleportation array within a Spirit Stone mine.

The speaker's words were unintentional, but the listener took them to heart.

Though his whisper was extremely faint, Xiao Yue beside him heard it clearly.

Brother Han wants this!

The thought flashed through Xiao Yue's mind in an instant.
