During this time.

In the distance.

A group of people passed by.

"Sect Master, look?"

This was a man dressed in fine robes, leaning on a cane.

"So young, could he have some kind of treasure?"

"Let's go in."

While the two were conversing.

Ji Feng had already been invited into the auction house.

"Sir, after professional appraisal, the three items you consigned have a value exceeding ten thousand gold coins. Please enter the Purple Zone."

The person leading Ji Feng into the auction house was a woman wearing a purple dress.

"Mm."

Ji Feng nodded slightly.

Walking into the auction house.

It presented a venue that descended in tiers.

The center of the venue was as large as two basketball courts.

And the Purple Zone.

Was an area right next to the best viewing platform.

It could be considered a position slightly to the left of the center.

"Uncle Bone."

"Sect Master, over here."

One master and one servant.

Entered the venue one after another.

Sitting in the Red Zone.

The VIP seating area.

"The first auction item."

"Ten-Thousand-Year Lingzhi!"

The auction began.

However, Ji Feng was here to sell goods today.

Not to buy them.

Therefore, as items appeared in the early stages.

He kept his eyes closed to rest his mind.

And this action.

Caught the attention of a man not far away, dressed in blue robes and leaning on a cane.

"Mid-tier Soul Tool!"

"Five thousand gold coins!"

As the previous item finished auctioning.

On the auction stage.

The auctioneer spoke: "Next, we are going to auction a special Soul Tool."

"A special Soul Tool?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

They drew puzzled gazes from everyone at the scene.

"The reason it is called special."

"Is because using it requires no infusion of any soul power!"

"It is an independent existence."

"In other words, even if you are a newborn baby or an eighty-year-old elder, you can use this Soul Tool without any threshold."

"The person who consigned it calls it equipment!"

Whoosh!

The object had not even been brought out yet.

The spectator stands.

A wave of uproar had already erupted.

The VIP seating area.

An old man with long hair, clad in black and blue armor.

At this moment, he moved.

"Sect Master!"

"Uncle Bone, could this thing be..."

The two exchanged a glance.

Simultaneously, they looked toward the neighboring booth.

Ji Feng possessed keen perception.

In the first instant, he locked eyes with the person on his right.

"They should be from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ji Feng's heart sank.

He maintained a calm expression on his face.

"This special item, known as equipment."

"Let us reveal it to everyone!"

"Its name is..."

"Sapphire!"

BOOM!

As the words fell.

The eyes of everyone at the scene.

At that very moment.

Suddenly focused on the exhibition stage, on the stand where the red cloth was lifted.

A blue gemstone.

Hovered there.

A blue luster flowed slowly around its body.

"Sapphire!?"

"Uncle Bone, you are well-informed; have you discerned any clues?"

The man asked.

The old man at his side shook his head: "Sect Master."

"This Sapphire has only one function, and that is to increase maximum soul power by 400!"

"Increase maximum soul power by 400?"

"How much is 400?"

The crowd present.

It was the first time they had heard that soul power could be measured by specific numbers.

"This item has been appraised by the masters of this auction house; 400 mana is enough for a Soul Master to use a soul skill one extra time!"

"Its value is immeasurable."

"Starting bid, 2000 gold coins!"

"I bid 3000 gold coins."

"I bid 5000!"

They had originally thought no one would make a move.

Who would have guessed that as soon as the official's voice fell.

The scene instantly erupted into chaos.

They scrambled to compete for it.

"Let's wait and see."

"I wonder if the next auction item will be just as stunning."

The two big shots with significant backgrounds.

Locked eyes.

Both understood the hidden meaning in the other's gaze.

"The next auction item."

"Its name is: Origin Flow Crystal!"

Origin Flow Crystal!

The curtain was pulled back.

A sea-blue crystalline object.

Exposed to everyone's view.

"Another thing that looks just like a gemstone."

"But what is its function?"

The crowd murmured in discussion.

The host pressed his hand down, signaling for silence.

"This Origin Flow Crystal has only one function."

"And that is +5% Cooldown Reduction."

Cooldown Reduction!

"What is cooldown reduction?"

Someone was dumbfounded.

Why did everyone in this auction house today keep saying things people couldn't understand?

"As everyone knows, after a Soul Master uses a Soul Skill, there is a vacuum period. During this time, they are unable to use Soul Skills, which we call the cooldown time."

"And the function of this Origin Flow Crystal is to shorten the cooldown time of every Soul Skill!"

"5% cooldown reduction—the profound significance lies right here."

After the host's explanation.

Everyone understood.

"Uncle Bone! No need to wait, this is a good item!"

At this moment.

The middle-aged man could finally no longer sit still.

He leaned on his cane.

He stood up.

He gradually walked toward Ji Feng.

"Starting bid 2,000!"

"I bid 4,000."

"4,000 is too little, I bid 6,000!"

Ji Feng was looking at his own equipment.

He was mesmerized by such intense bidding.

Just then.

The two people in front walked over.

He looked up.

Sure enough.

It was the two of them.

"Little friend, there is no need to auction off the item on the stage, is there?"

He leaned on his cane with both hands.

Ji Feng looked up.

He stood up.

Feeling the calmness in Ji Feng's gaze.

The man worried about being misunderstood and smiled, saying: "I, Ning, want everything; money is not an issue."

"I mainly want to make a friend out of you."

After speaking.

He was already prepared to be rejected.

Who would have thought.

Ji Feng simply replied: "Of course you can."

When the other party revealed his surname.

Ji Feng understood everything in his heart.

The person who had arrived was indeed from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

So, this young-looking middle-aged man before him.

Was none other than Ning Rongrong's father, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi!

"Truly a pleasure. To have met young friend Ji Feng on this trip is a stroke of good fortune."

The two exchanged a few brief words.

Having learned each other's names.

Excitement was visibly apparent in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

He asked, "You are a blacksmith?"

"Just a side hobby," Ji Feng blurted out.

Upon hearing this.

Ning Fengzhi turned his head and exchanged a glance with Uncle Bone.

A flash of gravity crossed his eyes.

To be so young and yet capable of forging such strange and powerful Soul Tools.

And to be a Soul Master on top of that!

He was a rare, once-in-a-generation talent!

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect excelled in support.

What they needed most was to recruit Soul Masters with offensive capabilities!

Thus, Ning Fengzhi spoke up, "I wonder, young friend, where are you currently based? Are you affiliated with any academy or sect?"

"A lone wanderer," Ji Feng did not hide it.

"Hahaha!"

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi burst into hearty laughter.

His tone was very candid, "Good! I feel a great affinity with you, young friend. I would like to befriend you. If the opportunity arises, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be very honored to have you visit."

"Senior Ning, so you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

Ji Feng lowered his gaze.

He spoke indifferently.

He feigned an expression of mild surprise.

And this reaction.

Caused Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong to exchange a glance.

Both read a look of triumph in the other's eyes.
