Chapter 97

The figure that arrived through the air was a handsome young man in his early twenties.

He clasped his hands and greeted the guests from all directions, saying, "I am Gu Huaiyu, the master of Tianfang Tower in the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom. I will be presiding over this auction of Tianfang Tower. Welcome to all of you."

"Master Gu is truly a dragon among men, having become the master of Tianfang Tower at just twenty-three years old."

"That's Master Gu? He's so young."

"I heard that Master Gu's cultivation has reached the peak of the Primordial Law stage, just one step away from condensing the Primordial Core."

Seeing Gu Huaiyu appear, the leaders and elders from various factions seated in the gold, silver, and bronze sections began to discuss among themselves. Even the nobles and aristocrats of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, seated in the 108 floating boats, 36 pavilions, and 12 towers, were whispering.

Although Master Gu Huaiyu is only at the peak of the Primordial Law stage, as a branch of the Inviting Moon Sect, it is rumored that he possesses a top-tier lower-grade magical treasure, the Nine Dragon Bell!

It is said that the Nine Dragon Bell seals the spirits of nine ferocious beasts with dragon blood. Once fully activated, it can manifest nine dragon beasts, forming an absolute killing formation that is incredibly terrifying. Any expert below the Earth Rank who falls into it will likely face certain death.

Therefore, Master Gu Huaiyu of Tianfang Tower is considered one of the top-tier experts in the entire Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom.

This time, with Master Gu presiding over the Tianfang auction, no faction dares to cause trouble, as his presence is enough to intimidate all parties.

"Just a pretty face!"

At this moment, Yi Kuang saw Gu Huaiyu's handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and formidable strength, which stunned the entire audience upon his arrival, making Yi Kuang somewhat jealous.

"Exactly!"

Yi Feng, standing beside him, immediately criticized.

Yi Shan, Yi Li, and Yi Hong did not speak, but Yi Tian could sense a fighting spirit from them, a desire to compete with Gu Huaiyu.

Yi Tian could not help but be surprised by Master Gu's youth and strength. At just twenty-three or twenty-four years old, he had already broken through to the peak of the Primordial Law stage. At this age, he could be considered a prodigy, a once-in-a-thousand-years talent.

During his stay in the capital, Yi Tian had learned some information. Currently, in the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, there are only seven individuals who have broken through to the Human Rank before the age of twenty-five, geniuses from major factions and the royal family, known as the Tianfeng Seven Stars.

However, Master Gu Huaiyu of Tianfang Tower, at just twenty-four years old, has reached the peak of the Primordial Law stage and is on the verge of entering the Primordial Core stage. His talent is truly astonishing.

Although Tianfang Tower has a deep foundation and vast resources, breaking through to the Primordial Law stage is not something that can be achieved with mere resources.

To break through to the Primordial Law stage, one must have strong insight and opportunities. Without insight or opportunities, one might remain at the Primordial Gorge stage for a lifetime.

"Alright, let's officially begin the auction!"

Gu Huaiyu's voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the small lake and the surroundings of Tianfang Tower.

Clap! Clap!

Gu Huaiyu lightly clapped his hands.

In the next moment, a beautiful woman arrived through the air, holding a jade tray covered with silk.

A servant girl is actually a Human Rank expert!

Some people who saw this scene for the first time were shocked. Tianfang Tower is truly extravagant, using a Human Rank expert to do menial tasks.

Gu Huaiyu lifted the silk.

On the jade tray appeared a talisman. The talisman shimmered with a faint glow, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

"The first item for auction is a mid-grade treasure talisman, which seals the Primordial Technique of a grandmaster at the Earth Rank, the Thousand Luo Seal Technique. It possesses about 60% of the original power, with a starting bid of 100,000 high-grade Primordial Stones."

As soon as Gu Huaiyu finished speaking, it immediately caused a shock among the various experts and factions.

They did not expect to see a mid-grade treasure talisman being auctioned at Tianfang Tower.

This was truly astonishing.

After all, the value of each mid-grade treasure talisman is unimaginable. The royal family of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom probably does not have many. A mid-grade treasure talisman is enough to kill a Human Rank expert at the Primordial Core stage. The appearance of any mid-grade treasure talisman would cause intense competition among various factions.

Moreover, this time, the auction of the mid-grade treasure talisman only requires high-grade Primordial Stones.

In the past, to bid on such a precious treasure, one would need to use Primordial Crystals, not high-grade Primordial Stones.

Only in extremely rare cases, when a sect is in dire need of Primordial Stones, would they auction some treasures to gather a large amount of Primordial Stones for the sect or the faction.

"101,000!"

At this moment, a hoarse voice came from one of the floating boats.

Even though the mid-grade treasure talisman is incredibly valuable, the price of 100,000 high-grade Primordial Stones is a huge sum of wealth. When the bidding for the mid-grade treasure talisman began, the guests in the gold, silver, and bronze sections did not dare to bid.

"102,000!"

"103,000..."

Thus, the price of the mid-grade treasure talisman slowly rose.

For many factions, 100,000 high-grade Primordial Stones is equivalent to 100 million low-grade Primordial Stones, a sum of wealth that not every faction can easily afford.

The various experts from the top factions of the Tianfeng Imperial Kingdom, seated on the floating boats, were cautious in their bidding.

"120,000!"

On the water pavilion, someone raised the bid by 20,000 high-grade Primordial Stones.

This immediately silenced the various factions on the floating boats. This was truly extravagant.

"130,000!"

Another pavilion also bid.

"140,000!" "150,000!" "160,000!"

The bidding from the 36 pavilions and even the 12 towers began to rise. As a result, the price of the mid-grade treasure talisman rapidly increased, from 100,000 to 200,000, and finally reached 330,000 high-grade Primordial Stones, where it was won by someone from one of the towers.

Seeing this, Yi Tian and his group were somewhat surprised.

They had underestimated the deep foundations of these factions that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years. Even though Yi Tian's tribe had mined a large Primordial Vein, apart from a few thousand Primordial Crystals, they probably could not match the thousands of years of accumulation of these factions in terms of Primordial Stones.

Fortunately, in the subsequent auction, there were no more treasures as precious as the mid-grade treasure talisman.

There were lower-grade elixirs like the Frenzy Pill, supreme-grade spirit weapons like the Mandarin Duck Bells, and supreme-grade spirit herbs like the Dragon Bone Grass.

Each item made the auction lively.

The various factions in the gold, silver, and bronze sections bid one after another, with each item being of considerable value.

For these ordinary items, Yi Tian and his group did not pay much attention. These items were not very useful for Human Rank experts, so they did not need to participate in the bidding and waste Primordial Stones.

"The 31st item for auction is a storage ring from the Artisan Sect, with a capacity of a thousand feet, with a starting bid of 50,000 high-grade Primordial Stones!"

When the bidding for the storage ring began, Yi Tian became serious.

A storage ring with a capacity of a thousand feet is considered extremely large, almost able to hold a small mountain, equivalent to a supreme-grade storage ring. Generally, storage rings are only about 40 to 50 feet or a few hundred feet in size, and those reaching a thousand feet are very rare, appearing only once every few years.

After arriving in the capital, Yi Tian and his group immediately exchanged their storage bags for storage rings. A storage ring with a capacity of 100 feet costs at least several hundred thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, and the one they bought, with a capacity of 100 feet, cost over 5 million low-grade Primordial Stones.

A storage ring with a capacity of a thousand feet is not common.

For Yi Tian and other experts, the larger the storage ring, the better. It provides great security for survival and training. Even if they encounter some opportunities that require a large space to store items, they won't have to miss out.

Yi Tian was determined to get this storage ring.

Yi Tian bid for the first time, competing with other floating boats and pavilions.

In the end, Yi Tian spent 90,000 high-grade Primordial Stones to finally win the storage ring with a capacity of a thousand feet.

Yi Feng and the others also bid for some items, including elixirs and talismans. The price of lower-grade treasure talismans was not very high, generally around 600,000 to 700,000 low-grade Primordial Stones, with better quality ones being more expensive.
