The auction, which lasted for more than ten days, ended with the final item, the Chaos Treasure Battle War Blade —reportedly the primary weapon used by a Transcendent Chaos Realm before his demise—being purchased by a powerful individual for 6.9 billion Cosmic Sand.
Ye Muxuan's consciousness was kicked out and returned to the Chaos Armor Cave No. 65. The cyan token was still placed in front of him, as if it were all a dream.
However, at Ye Muxuan's level, he can naturally distinguish between reality and illusion. Even an ordinary Chaos Overlord would not be able to make him unconsciously fall into an illusion.
Picking up the cyan token, it clearly recorded what Ye Muxuan had won in the auction, as well as the amount of Cosmic Sand remaining after the Chaos Treasure he provided was auctioned off.
The tokens provided by the Yanfeng Hall now have two uses: one is to obtain the auctioned items at any Yanfeng Hall in any city, and the other is to obtain them directly in the cave.
Since this token can lock the user's location, it can also be used as an anchor point to directly teleport items. This is for the benefit of users who participate in the auction while training in the wild, so they don't have to go back. After all, the token will be taken back by the Yanfeng Hall after the item is teleported, without revealing the user's location.
This convenience is something the Virtual Universe cannot provide. In the Virtual Universe, bidding for and purchasing items requires waiting for a period of time, but with this token, items can be instantly transported as long as the user is still within the Origin Continent.
Ye Muxuan left the Qingjing Jade Gold Pagoda, activated the array passage, and arrived at the pavilion atop the highest snow-capped mountain.
He reached out and crushed the cyan talisman. Numerous complex array patterns transformed the talisman into a cyan halo. In just a breath, seven sealed purple jade boxes were teleported out from within the halo and landed on the ground. Subsequently, the cyan halo gradually dissipated.
Ye Muxuan looked at the seven purple jade boxes. They were made of very ordinary materials, but the sealing array patterns on them were worth studying for a while. Ye Muxuan were definitely the work of an array master.
Unfortunately, it's a one-time use array pattern. Once the jade box is opened, the array pattern will Destruction along with the jade box.
After studying it for a while, Ye Muxuan determined that it was a rough combination of "Trapping Array" and "Spirit Array". Unfortunately, Ye Muxuan mainly cultivated Killing Array, so this combination of array patterns was only for reference and he would not switch to cultivating it at present.
The first purple jade box was opened, revealing eleven silver jade bottles inside, which contained the Time-Space Liquid.
The second purple jade box was opened, revealing a cyan jade bottle. Ye Muxuan picked it up and examined it; it contained his Cosmic Sand. After deducting handling fees and the auctioned treasures, he still had over 31 million, bringing his current floating wealth to the tens of millions.
Sure enough, no one gets rich without unexpected wealth. Although it was unintentional, the resources he gained from killing Divine Lord Puba were enough for him to cultivate to the Chaos Overlord realm with peace of mind.
His reputation in Snowfield City is now extremely high, and few organizations or forces are willing to provoke him, not even the City Lord Mansion. On the contrary, many True God and Void True God are willing to pay a high price to have him sign his name and receive his protection.
However, for Ye Muxuan, the so-called fame was of little use. It was merely a way to use this prestige to ensure that he could cultivate in peace without being disturbed.
The five jade boxes behind contained the Formation Base materials that Ye Muxuan had won in the auction. There were over a hundred pieces of five different types, costing him more than 40 million Cosmic Sand. With these materials, he believed he could achieve his goal.
Gazing at the vast ice lake with a diameter of a million kilometers in the distance, Ye Muxuan stepped down to the edge of the lake, casually broke off a long and flexible purple bamboo from the shore to use as a fishing rod, pulled out a thin, crystal-clear line, and began fishing right there on the shore of this enormous ice lake.
The snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and lakes within the cave are not entirely devoid of life or death. Some intelligent polar creatures naturally inhabit them. Under divine power, one can see a wide variety of fish swimming in the depths of the icy lakes.
The cave dwellings for sale are inspected by officials from the City Lord Mansion every so often. If any sentient creature is found, it is either captured or killed on the spot. In the long history of Snowfield City, there has only been one instance where a sentient beast was found in a cave dwelling after it had been sold.
Snowflakes drifted down, Ye Muxuan, who was not separated from the snow, was soon covered with snow from head to toe.
Three days later, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, looked at the calm surface of the frozen lake where many fish frolicked below, and shook his head. Without cheating, he really didn't have any talent for fishing; in three days, he hadn't caught a single fish.
Everyone says there's a "protection period" for newbies, but that's a lie.
Filled with resentment, Ye Muxuan casually tossed aside the purple bamboo fishing rod. The array in the cave indicated that a guest had arrived.
That's the downside of not having servants; if any guests come, you have to deal with them yourself. Of course, if you're in seclusion cultivating, then it doesn't matter. Unless there's a war in Snowfield City, currently no organization, force, or powerful individual is willing to force their way into the Nightfall Divine Lord's cave.
The formation was activated, the cave entrance opened, and a Void True God with bowed head and five other True God stood at the door, not daring to enter.
Snowfield City is vast, and naturally, it has many slave traders. These organized traders sell pre-trained servants, and of course, at exorbitant prices.
If you want something cheap, go to the south side of the city. Every day, hundreds of millions of True God from all races enter the city full of hope from dawn until they leave helplessly at nightfall, all in the hope of being favored by some important figure.
Not all servants were plundered by merchants; many volunteered to serve important figures in order to earn resources for cultivation or to avoid the dangers of wild tribes.
Even if it's voluntary, one must have a special skill to attract important figures to buy their services. For example, Lu Lan of Misty Rain Tower was skilled in dancing, and there were also people in her clan who were good at playing musical instruments. They formed a group and voluntarily became partners of Misty Rain Tower, which is how she joined the Misty Rain Tower.
The Void True God who has just arrived is the head of one of the top five merchant guilds in Snowfield City. Ye Muxuan found this guild through the recommendation of Dark Edge Divine Lord. After learning that Nightfall Divine Lord wanted to buy several servants, the head of the guild was excited for several months and carefully selected these five True God.
Ye Muxuan walked to the door, glanced at the six people, and said, "Come in."
"Thank you, Divine Lord!" The Void True God, bowing and scraping, led five True God into the cave dwelling that was being watched by many eyes.
Inside the main hall used for receiving guests, Ye Muxuan sat in the main seat. His gaze swept over the five True God; their appearances and demeanors were all acceptable, clearly chosen by the person in charge.
"I need three servants to manage the cave dwelling. I believe the merchant guild has already explained this to you." Ye Muxuan's voice gradually became ethereal. Although he did not specialize in the illusionary arts, his skill was more than enough to deal with a mere five True God and one Void True God. He instantly trapped all six of them in an illusion.
After all, his eldest disciple True God Qingying, was the Controller of the Soul School, and his third disciple, Silver Soul Palace Master, was Illusionist.
