Snowfield City, Yanfeng Hall.
A waiter ushered Ye Muxuan into a private pavilion. This time, he was received by a steward from the Yanfeng Hall.
Each large city has only sixteen stewards of the Yanfeng Hall, each of whom holds a high position and wields great power, even surpassing the status of those large families and sects.
With the Yanfeng Hall behind them, they have nothing to fear from any power.
"Does Nightfall Divine Lord need to buy anything?" These insiders, who were keeping an eye on intelligence, were naturally aware of Nightfall Divine Lord, for whom the Chaos Overlord of the Dark Hall Shi Kingdom had placed a bounty of millions of Cosmic Sand on his head in the Dark Palace.
Similarly, I'm also very curious.
Therefore, Xueli Chu, the Eternal True God deacon from the Xueli Clan, personally received him.
"I would like to purchase a Calamity Beast Diagram '," Ye Muxuan, dressed in azure armor, as he sipped the fine wine served to guests at the Yanfeng Hall.
"The <Calamity Beast Diagram> is extremely precious, worth fifteen million Cosmic Sand. Are you sure you want to buy one, Nightfall Divine Lord?" Xueli Chu was somewhat surprised. Fifteen million Cosmic Sand was an absolute astronomical price for an Eternal True God!
Many Eternal True God possess only tens of thousands of Cosmic Sand in their entire fortune. Even for an Eternal True God like Dark Edge Divine Lord, who possesses exceptional skills and owns several shops, the amount of Cosmic Sand he can currently offer is estimated to be only in the tens of millions.
Even for Dark Edge Divine Lord, purchasing a portion of Cosmic Sand was a plan that would severely damage his health.
"Confirmed." Ye Muxuan spoke, his gaze fixed on Xueli Chu. He could sense that this steward possessed three extremely powerful treasures at the Eternal True God Level. Apart from being a steward of the Yanfeng Hall, he should also come from a powerful force. Such a background was beyond what these rogue cultivators could compare to.
"I don't have the authority to sell the <Calamity Beast Diagram>. If Nightfall Divine Lord decides to purchase it, I need to contact the Deputy Master." Deacon Xueli Chu didn't stop him, but after confirming that Ye Muxuan really wanted to buy the <Calamity Beast Diagram>, he contacted their superior, the Deputy Master.
Soon, a figure shrouded in a blood-red mask appeared in the pavilion, his deep gaze falling on Ye Muxuan, his eyes seeming to hold a blood-red universe churning within them.
Upon the arrival of the deputy curator, Xueli Chu bowed and then withdrew.
Ye Muxuan looked up at the deputy master of the museum. He could sense that the blood-red mask was a Chaos Treasure, and a rather high-grade one at that. Although it was not as good as his own Xuanling Tower, it was about the same as the trophy in his hand.
However, that was a true Chaos Realm treasure, while the one before us is most likely Eternal True God.
"You want to buy the <Calamity Beast Diagram>?" Beneath the blood-red mask, a pair of deep, dark eyes swept over Ye Muxuan as the speaker said, "The <Calamity Beast Diagram> publicly offered by the Yanfeng Hall was personally drawn by an ancient being of my Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom. Even viewing a corner of the Calamity Beast Diagram requires the will of the Chaos Realm expert. If one's will is not at the Chaos Realm level, even accidentally glimpsing a corner will corrupt it, plunging one into utter madness."
"Nightfall Divine Lord, are you sure you want to buy this?"
"Confirmed." Ye Muxuan nodded. His will was originally at the Chaos Realm, and now, after thirteen eras of assassinations and pursuits, he had long since reached the advanced level of the Chaos Realm, close to its peak. He was qualified to view the <Calamity Beast Diagram>.
"Since you already understand the situation and still want to buy it, fine." The deputy curator nodded, his eyes, hidden behind a blood-red mask, sweeping over Ye Muxuan, and said, "Pay fifteen million Cosmic Sand, and the <Calamity Beast Diagram> will be delivered to you within three days."
In other large cities, especially those remote areas, it might take a few more days, but Snowfield City has developed transportation and trade, and abundant logistics, so headquarters sends supplies more frequently.
Although somewhat reluctant, Ye Muxuan directly took out a cyan jade bottle and paid 15 million Cosmic Sand, which was higher than his current bounty. However, fortunately, he was now quite wealthy, so 15 million Cosmic Sand was nothing to him.
However, it was worth the price.
Among the many treasures that the Chaos Overlord possess for tempering and cultivating their will, the <Calamity Beast Diagram> ranks among the top three.
Upon receiving this huge sum of money, the deputy curator's blood-red eyes softened somewhat. After all, for the Yanfeng Hall, a transaction involving treasures worth tens of millions of Cosmic Sand was a considerable sum, even if it was something drawn by one of their own ancient beings. Moreover, only Chaos Overlord would typically have the resources to do such a thing.
"The Yanfeng Hall has a rule: for a single treasure transaction exceeding ten million Cosmic Sand, one can participate in the auction once. This is the bidding token; Nightfall Divine Lord, please keep it safe." A blood-red token appeared in the deputy guild master's hand, then floated up and landed in front of Ye Muxuan. "The token will provide a notification when the next auction begins."
"This token can only be used once and can also be transferred. It will disappear after the auction ends. Of course, if Nightfall Divine Lord does not participate in the auction, the token will remain."
"Thank you, Master." Ye Muxuan reached out and caught the blood-red token. It was indeed similar in material to the cyan token he had encountered before, and it was also covered with many Secret Pattern that displayed a lot of information. However, this time it was a one-time use token.
Last time, he only had the opportunity to participate in the auction by providing a complete set of Chaos Master Level treasures. As for the materials he sold in smaller quantities, they amounted to only a little over nine million Cosmic Sand, which was far from enough to qualify him.
"There's another piece of news. I wonder if Nightfall Divine Lord would be interested." For the sake of the <Calamity Beast Diagram>, the deputy curator decided to offer some guidance to Nightfall Divine Lord.
"Please speak, Master." Putting away the blood-red token, Ye Muxuan was curious about what other information he might have.
"To truly appreciate the <Calamity Beast Diagram>, it's best to have the corresponding comprehension Secret Technique and the Void Diagram as well. This will enhance the effectiveness of your willpower cultivation." The deputy master, his blood-red eyes deep and unfathomable beneath the blood-red mask, gazed at Ye Muxuan and slowly spoke. "The Void Diagram sells for one million Cosmic Sand among the disciples of my royal family. If Nightfall Divine Lord desires it, including the comprehension Secret Technique, it will only cost two million Cosmic Sand."
"The Secret Technique for comprehending the Calamity Beast Diagram are known to many members of the royal family who are qualified to view them, but they are generally only circulated within our Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom and rarely spread to smaller countries outside."
"Okay!" Ye Muxuan nodded, raised his finger, and two million Cosmic Sand appeared in front of him.
Since we've already paid the lion's share, why bother with these small amounts?
The deputy curator put away the Cosmic Sand, and a smile curled at the corner of his mouth beneath the blood-red mask.
"You intend to help him?" Deep within the many buildings of the Yanfeng Hall, an ordinary figure sat there, his gaze piercing through layers of space to land on two figures outside, before his voice reached the ears of a certain deputy guild master.
"It's just an upfront investment." Beneath the blood-red mask, the deputy director spoke in a voice completely different from his previous one to Ye Muxuan. "A limit of ten million needs to be reported to headquarters, but I can make decisions up to fifty million, and you can make decisions up to one hundred million."
"I didn't violate the ban—"
"My dear—the curator— Elder Brother!!!"
