The second floor is larger than the first floor, but it is very dimly lit. When people walk in, they are greeted by rows of seats, with a platform at the front where an elegant female auctioneer stands holding a small hammer.
The people took their seats in twos and threes.
Xie Feng and Jin Yue chose an inconspicuous corner in the second row. Feng Luo saw this and came over with a smile.
As is customary, these important figures do not need to attend auctions in person; they can simply send a consignor.
However, the auction at Peak of Heaven was special, and since it was organized by Feng Yan, all parties involved were "completely honest with each other."
Because of the formidable presence of the Peak of Heaven, whoever buys the treasure will be witnessed. Moreover, everyone's strength is roughly equal; they have the power to buy and the ability to protect it.
"Why is Peak of Heaven holding an auction? They're bringing out treasures they've kept for years, is it just for money?" Jin Yue wondered.
"That's right! It's all about money! For the Emperor's Fortune!" Feng Luo nodded firmly. "Because our Emperor Phoenix Clan is currently fighting a war far away, and we're burning through cash every day! If we don't have enough money, we'll have to sell our assets!"
Xie Feng raised an eyebrow. "A war? With the Demon-Burying Clan?"
Feng Luo nodded. "Yes!"
At this moment, a man in black robes quietly approached Xie Feng and gave him a space stone.
The man in black robes said respectfully, "Island Master Lu, this is a gift from Phoenix Lord. There are two items inside that will not be auctioned off since they have been given to you!"
Xie Feng took the space stone, casually scanned it with his Divine Sense, saw two light orbs locked in seals, and smiled slightly.
If something can be sealed, it must be something extraordinary!
Feng Yan is a man of his word!
He was quite satisfied.
Having completed his mission, the man in black bowed and respectfully withdrew.
Upon seeing this, Feng Luo couldn't help but exclaim, " Brother Lu, it has to be you! Not only did you plunder Phoenix Lord's secret stash, but you also managed to acquire two items for auction! As far as I know, every single item brought to the auction this time is an absolute gem!"
Xie Feng laughed, "Haha!"
Feng Luo's eyes gleamed. " Brother Lu, why don't you take me on as your underling! This ability is incredible, I admire you to the extreme!"
Xie Feng said, "My little brother needs to be sensible."
Feng Luo blinked, confused. Jin Yue whispered a reminder, "Give me the money!"
Feng Luo almost vomited blood. "Wow, Brother Lu! He doesn't miss any opportunity to make money!"
Xie Feng clicked his tongue and said, "I think my 'wife' is more suited to be my underling..."
Jin Yue smiled, pursing her lips.
Feng Luo thought for a moment, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If I want to be the younger brother, I naturally have to be filial to the older brother!"
He reached into his robe, pulled out a platinum crystal, and said with a beaming smile, " Brother Lu, this is ten thousand Emperor's Fortune, a small token of my respect!"
Xie Feng accepted the crystal and said magnanimously, "From now on, we're brothers! Little brother, you're the Imperial Prince of Peak of Heaven. I'm unfamiliar with this place, so I'll have to rely on you a lot!"
Feng Luo nodded. "Of course! As long as Brother Lu says the word, I'll do my best to help! But let me make this clear first, I wouldn't dare do anything related to Phoenix Lord, I'm afraid my father will tear me apart..."
As the three were talking, Feng Yan arrived with Qing Yi and the others. They sat down in the middle of the first row with solemn expressions.
Once the room was full, the elegant female auctioneer gestured to the backstage area, and two people carried in a carved sandalwood box.
The auctioneer opened the box, and light burst forth.
A scroll has appeared!
The auctioneer looked around and said with a smile, "The first item for auction is Origin Level Cultivation Method — the Five Flood Dragons Sea-Churning Palm! The starting price is 10,000 Emperor's Fortune! Anyone willing to bid 20,000 Emperor's Fortune?"
Her eyes gleamed as she quickly scanned the entire room.
Next to each person's seat is a sign; once energy is gathered to form a number, one can raise the sign to bid.
Soon, bidders began raising their paddles in quick succession, and within moments, the price had soared from 10,000 to 700,000.
Xie Feng wasn't very interested in this palm technique.
He already possesses the Qilin King's Heaven-Obscuring Palm, a peerless martial Cultivation Method that cannot be measured by specific realms!
With such a gem in hand, he naturally looked down on everything else.
In the end, the Cultivation Method was auctioned off to one person for one million Emperor's Fortune. Two men in black robes came over and handed the Cultivation Method back to the auctioneer on the spot!
After all, they're just doing this for fun, not a formal, large-scale auction house. Here, the important thing is to have fun.
"The second item up for auction, Origin Level Sword! Starting bid is 20,000 Emperor's Fortune. Anyone bidding 30,000? Great, many people have already raised their paddles! 40,000, 50,000... 100,000! The young master in the third row, would you like to raise the bid to 100,000? Great, anyone bidding 150,000?..."
The auctioneer was eloquent and persuasive, and under her guidance, the price of the Origin Level Sword rose steadily, eventually selling for two million Emperor's Fortune!
The third item is a stone.
It may look ordinary, but it is Perpetual Motion Stone of energy.
It can provide a continuous source of power!
However, many people present were unmoved by this.
For them, a large-sized Perpetual Motion Stone is very attractive.
But this thing in front of us is only the size of a fist, and it doesn't provide much energy.
Although this stone is called the Perpetual Motion Stone, its size is what matters.
The larger the size, the slower the energy consumption!
Many people weren't interested, but Xie Feng was drawn to it. He thought that Sushang was engrossed in mechanical research and might like this little gadget.
Few people bid; once he offered 10,000 Emperor's Fortune, no one competed for it.
The auctioneer was somewhat dissatisfied with the low price and kept gesturing that she could raise the bid, but unfortunately no one followed suit.
There are two main reasons. First, people believe that the value of the Perpetual Motion Stone is not as high as the previous Cultivation Method and the Origin Level sword.
Secondly, after Xie Feng repeatedly humiliated Feng Hao and Liu Cheng, and even managed to compete with Feng Yan, they became more wary of him. Seeing that it was just a small stone, they didn't bid.
Thump!
The hammer fell, and the Perpetual Motion Stone returned to Xie Feng.
After purchasing the Perpetual Motion Stone, Xie Feng remained unmoved as subsequent auction items appeared.
He hasn't met anyone who sparks his interest!
And so, eleven rare treasures appeared one after another, and were bought up at astonishingly high prices.
The most expensive item was a piece of Origin Level defensive armor, which was purchased by a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat for seven million!
The auction quickly came to an end.
Only one left!
During the brief break, King's Disciple Ming Dao of the Demon-Burying Clan subtly hinted to Xie Feng with his eyes that he must help him!
He seemed determined to win.
Xie Feng nodded slightly, remembering their agreement.
Having arrived in the Fifth Universe, what he needs most now is a place to settle down and make a living. He can't stay in Returning Moon City forever, since it's not his own!
Spirit Martyrdom City because he had already turned the city into a mess, but he didn't like the place; it lacked the profound spiritual energy required to meet his needs.
