Chapter 48

Chen Feng whispered, "Senior Sister, there are many people here with prying eyes. We should hide our true strength. Let's just show our Fourth Stage of the Postnatal Realm."

Han Yuer surprisingly complied, nodding obediently, "Alright."

The two of them exuded their aura, leading their horses toward the auction hall.

The circular square, spanning several miles, was no less grand than the outer sect's square. It was paved with thick, large blue stones, smooth as a mirror. In the center of the square, a massive fountain spouted dozens of meters high, powered by a magical array.

Maintaining such an array required a significant amount of spirit stones daily, which also demonstrated the Xie family's strength.

The square was bustling with people, and Chen Feng and his companion drew quite a bit of attention.

At their age, reaching the Fourth Stage of the Postnatal Realm was considered quite remarkable, whether in a sect or a prominent family, but not exceptionally outstanding.

In the eyes of others, this young couple had a rather extraordinary demeanor and decent strength, likely from a major sect or a prominent family.

But they were definitely not core disciples receiving full cultivation support.

Therefore, many people only glanced at them without paying too much attention.

The auction hall was located at the end of the square, built of white stone, towering and majestic, with twelve massive stone pillars, each as thick as a house and fifty meters high, adding to its grandeur.

As Chen Feng and his companion approached, a middle-aged man in green robes greeted them with a smile, "Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Xie Family's Grand Auction Hall. I am Xie Dongshan, the second-level manager of the Xie Family's auction hall."

"May I ask if you are here to buy or to consign items for sale?"

His attitude was very热情, but deep down, he had a slight disdain.

In his view, this young couple must have come from a distinguished background and should not be offended, but at their age and cultivation level, they might not have much wealth.

Chen Feng smiled slightly, "Both buying and selling."

"Oh? Both buying and selling?" Xie Dongshan extended his hand and smiled, "Please, esteemed guests, come inside to discuss."

He led the two into the hall.

The hall was spacious and wide, divided into numerous stalls. At a glance, there were over a thousand stalls.

There were even more customers, weaving through the stalls, with constant cries of vendors and occasional haggling, some even arguing heatedly.

It turned out to be a large market.

Chen Feng took a quick look and found that most of the items sold here were related to martial cultivation, including herbs and weapons.

Xie Dongshan led them through the market to a spacious and elegant living room, gesturing for them to sit down and having a servant bring tea.

The environment was elegant, the servants were graceful and polite, and the tea was of high quality.

The etiquette was very thorough.

Xie Dongshan took a sip of tea and smiled, "May I ask what you wish to sell?"

Chen Feng didn't waste words and directly took out an item from his pouch.

It was a wooden box, crudely made from ordinary wood, with a rough outline and unsmoothed splinters.

Seeing the wooden box, a hint of disdain flashed in Xie Dongshan's eyes.

"Indeed, as I suspected, what could these two young people have? Using such a crude wooden box, it can't be anything good."

However, it must be said that the people of the Xie Family's auction house had high standards. Xie Dongshan had excellent composure and did not show this emotion.

Chen Feng opened the box, revealing its contents.

Inside was a two-foot-long white object, with a texture like bone, which appeared to be a large animal's tooth. It was slightly curved, pure white like jade, of extremely high quality, and inside, there was a black line running from the root to the tip.

"What is this?" Xie Dongshan's face showed surprise when he saw it.

He couldn't immediately guess what it was, but after years in the auction house, he had a keen eye and could tell it was no ordinary item.

"At the very least, it's the tooth of a Fifth Stage or higher Postnatal Realm beast!" Xie Dongshan looked at Chen Feng.

"Manager Xie has a keen eye," Chen Feng smiled faintly, "This is the tooth of a Sixth Stage Postnatal Realm beast, the Black Blood Snake!"

"The tooth of a Black Blood Snake?"

Xie Dongshan suddenly stood up, shocked.

Although the Black Blood Snake was only at the Sixth Stage, it contained potent toxins, had an incredibly strong body, and was cunning and deceitful, making its true strength comparable to a Seventh Stage Postnatal Realm beast!

Xie Dongshan thought to himself, "It seems my initial assessment of these two young people was off. With their strength, fifty of them couldn't defeat a single Black Blood Snake. This Black Blood Snake must not have been hunted by them. It was likely given to them by an elder from their family or sect."

"Our family elders, knowing we were going out for training, were not entirely at ease, so they gave us this item and instructed us to exchange it for some money if we needed it."

Chen Feng said this casually.
