When Lin Yi landed in a private room of the underground Auction House, the auction below had already begun as scheduled.
Amid the tangled network of abandoned underground mine veins, an enormous abyss had been excavated at the center, its bottom invisible.
Halfway down the abyss, the interior was brightly lit. Dozens of Spirit Lamps illuminated the space as though it were daylight. The head of the Vast Sea Merchant Alliance's local branch personally stood on the auction stage, presiding over the event. Holding a wooden box carved with intricate patterns, his voice spread to every corner through an amplification formation. "Esteemed guests, the next item is a key material for advancing to the World Law Emperor Realm—the World Fetal Membrane required for the First Secret..."
A commotion immediately erupted below, and the eyes of many cultivators stuck at Five-Star Peak gleamed red.
Aside from the most coveted Imperial Evil Artifact, many of them had come for precious materials needed to advance to the Emperor Realm.
"I'm taking this item!"
"The World Fetal Membrane! I've already obtained the fetal membrane secret art; this is the only thing I'm missing. Who dares compete with me..."
Amid the fierce bidding, the World Fetal Membrane was swiftly sold. The branch head then brought out three more essential materials for World Law secret arts, building anticipation for the appearance of the Imperial Evil Artifact.
The entire underground Abyss Auction House began to grow lively.
Seeing this, Lin Yi nodded slightly. The local branch head in Vast Sea Outer City had truly spared no expense to cooperate with him.
He then stepped into the private room concealed by an Emperor Realm Formation.
"Greetings, deacon Lin!" Lei Kun and Sang Tai had long been waiting inside. The moment Lin Yi appeared, they hurried forward and bowed.
