"Red Sun Club!"
After leaving Qingyou Pavilion, Lu Tao arrived at another pavilion in the blink of an eye.
Red Sun Meeting!
It was an auction house.
This auction house is quite powerful, with branches throughout Yulongtian and one in Tianyan Prefecture.
"Welcome, fellow Daoist!"
As soon as Lu Tao entered the pavilion, a beautiful woman greeted him warmly. Lu Tao said indifferently, "Give me a private room!"
"Alright, fellow Daoist!"
After paying for the sacred stone, Lu Tao was led by the woman to a private room on the sixth floor.
Lu Tao used his Heavenly Eye to survey the entire Crimson Sun Society and couldn't help but nod in approval.
The security measures of this chamber of commerce are very thorough. There are many formations set up in the attic to prevent cultivators outside the private rooms from probing with their divine souls. According to Lu Tao's speculation, even a perfected Divine Emperor would not be able to see through it.
The monks in the private rooms are not affected if they wish to view the auction hall.
also.
The auction hall of the Crimson Sun Society was extremely spacious; it could not even be called a hall, but rather a huge square.
It covered an area of hundreds of miles in radius.
Despite its seemingly vast size, this auction plaza is actually a small world in itself.
and.
This little world is transparent inside and out.
The private room is not located within the small world, but it can see all the scenes within the small world.
Similarly, the attic outside can be seen from inside the small world.
at this time.
The entire auction square was packed with people. Even the demonic beasts had transformed into human form, sitting cross-legged in the void, looking down at the auction stage.
Although many cultivators concealed their auras, Lu Tao could still discern their cultivation levels through his Heavenly Eye.
Most cultivators are at the God King level, while a small number are God Emperors who are hiding their cultivation.
As for Divine Lord cultivators, they are relatively few.
At this moment, an old man is auctioning off a magical artifact that governs the rules of the game.
"A low-grade divine vein, plus eight million mid-grade divine stones!"
"A low-grade divine vein, plus nine million mid-grade divine stones!"
"Two inferior ones..."
...
The auction was extremely popular; even a single high-grade divine artifact with perfect fire rules attracted numerous cultivators to bid enthusiastically.
But it was all the gods and kings who were making the bids.
As for the God Emperors, they no longer care about the artifacts of rules, and they don't care even about perfect rules.
Please be aware.
At the God-Emperor realm, the greatest boost to one's strength comes from the power of the world. With its blessing, one's perfect rules can be better utilized.
Their world and the rules they have come to understand are perfectly aligned.
Even if you obtain another perfect rule, without the support of matching world power, it won't be of much use.
At least for them, there has been no qualitative improvement in their strength.
They naturally wouldn't auction it off.
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on successfully auctioning a superior-grade divine artifact with perfected fire rules!"
Ultimately, this divine artifact was auctioned off to a mid-stage God-King level expert. The old man then continued, "The next item to be auctioned is a high-grade defensive God-King artifact, starting price..."
"I offer a low-grade divine vein, plus one million mid-grade divine stones!"
"A low-grade divine vein, plus..."
...
Every item auctioned by the Crimson Sun Society is something rarely seen in the desolate region, and the prices they fetch here are quite high.
The bid for a top-grade divine artifact is a divine vein.
Although it is only a low-grade divine vein, in the desolate region, a low-grade divine vein can be exchanged for about five items of the rules.
certainly.
An object governed by rules is an object governed by rules; transforming it into a divine artifact governed by rules is another matter entirely.
The two should not be confused.
Even so, it is enough to show how wealthy Yu Longtian was.
It should be noted that this is only Tianyan Prefecture in the Yan Domain, and it is not one of the relatively wealthy prefectures in the entire Yulong Heaven.
This is evident.
The entire Jade Dragon Heaven is far more wealthy than the desolate region.
"So many divine veins truly tempt me!"
Lu Tao watched the auction unfold, quite intrigued.
If he obtains all these divine veins, he can create even more top-grade divine veins.
No!
To be precise, it should be the Holy Spirit lineage!
"Unfortunately, there are many things I have that I really can't bear to put up for auction!"
Lu Tao felt somewhat helpless.
He certainly possessed many valuable items, and there were many that he could bring to this auction, such as the True Dragon Bloodline, the Heavenly Pavilion's rule artifacts, some materials from the Alliance of Races, and the Divine Transformation Medicine King, among others.
but--
These things are either things he's unwilling to put up for auction, or things he can't auction.
For example, the Tianyu Sect, which entered the Desolate Domain, must know about the True Dragon Bloodline. Once Lu Tao put it up for auction, it would be tantamount to telling the Tianyu Sect that he has already left the Desolate Domain.
As for those materials, he used quite a lot of them when refining the No. 2 Lesser Thousand Worlds, and the rest will be saved for later use.
Another one is the Divine Transformation Medicine King, which could be auctioned off.
But just one plant is enough for Lu Tao to cultivate at least eight geniuses with the highest aptitude of the King rank. And when he becomes a God Emperor, he can raise the aptitude of eight disciples to the highest aptitude of the Emperor rank.
Why would Lu Tao agree to put it up for auction?
I can't bear to part with it!
They simply couldn't bear to auction it off!
Only the rule-based artifacts obtained from Tianyu Pavilion can be auctioned off, but there's no rush for now.
"It's still the most cost-effective way to get away with it!"
As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without windfall gains. Lu Tao decided to give up on auctioning off his items. In any case, whether it was for experience pills or to create chaos, he was going to hunt demons.
Since they are so wealthy, how could I not set my sights on them?
With this in mind, Lu Tao continued watching the auction.
The Crimson Sun Society auctions off a wide variety of items, such as legendary artifacts, medicine kings, small worlds, and slots in secret realms, among others.
It can be said that it greatly broadened Lu Tao's horizons.
but.
He didn't bid on any of these things, nor was he interested in them; he just considered them as opportunities to broaden his horizons.
Soon, the Crimson Sun Society will begin auctioning off the rule seeds.
Lu Tao immediately perked up.
"Next up for auction is a seed of the Fire Rule. Once cultivated, it can grow into a divine medicine of the rule. Whether consumed directly or refined into a pill of the rule, it can accelerate one's comprehension of the Fire Rule."
The old man tossed a plump, dark red seed the size of a fingertip into the air, introduced it, and continued, "The starting bid is a low-grade divine vein or ten million mid-grade divine stones. Each bid must be at least one million mid-grade divine stones. You may now place your bids."
"A low-grade divine vein, plus one million mid-grade divine stones."
"A low-grade divine vein, plus five million mid-grade divine stones."
"Two inferior ones..."
...
As the old man finished speaking, the entire auction became lively.
There were many bidders, and the price quickly climbed to the high price of four low-grade divine veins.
This is evident.
How sought-after are the rule seeds?
In fact, the Seed of Rules is loved throughout the entire divine realm.
Although cultivating the seed of rules is not easy, as the old man said, once it matures, it can accelerate the comprehension of the rules, which is a real improvement in cultivation and strength.
and.
Unlike artifacts of the rules, which almost lose their effectiveness once an artifact is promoted to Godhood, it does not.
But the rules that one comprehends are different; they accompany a cultivator throughout their life.
Not only does it enhance their own strength, but the time saved for them is also roughly 100,000 years.
Who wouldn't love it?
"Five low-grade divine veins!"
finally.
Seeing that the time was right, Lu Tao also began to make his offer.
Although he offered this price, he still planned to pay with a low-grade divine stone.
In a place like an auction, whether it's a divine vein or a divine stone, as long as the value is the same, payment is not a problem, and Lu Tao is not worried about any trouble.
The main reason he didn't bid directly with divine stones was that he didn't want to attract the attention of the Tianyu Sect.
If he continues to bid with divine stones, this matter will likely spread to other states as casual conversation, and eventually reach the ears of the Tianyu Sect.
Although this may seem like a small matter, it will definitely make Tianyu Sect suspect him.
Who can blame them when there are so few divine veins in the desolate region?
After eliminating many powerful enemies, Lu Tao obtained the most divine stones, and they were low-grade divine stones.
He didn't want to reveal his location.
After Lu Tao made his offer, the other creatures did not stop either.
"Five low-grade divine veins, plus three million mid-grade divine stones."
"Five low-grade divine veins, plus five million mid-grade divine stones."
"Five items..."
...
With another round of bidding, Lu Tao's bid had already fallen far behind.
Lu Tao shouted again, "Six low-grade divine veins!"
Immediately, a cultivator shouted, "Six low-grade divine veins, plus..."
Before he could finish bidding, Lu Tao shouted again, "Seven low-grade divine veins!"
Three breaths passed after this initial offer, and no cultivator made a bid.
It's obvious.
They all sensed Lu Tao's determination to win from the momentum of his bid.
final.
After the old man inquired three times and no one else made a bid, Lu Tao successfully won the Fire Rule Seed.
"Congratulations to this fellow Daoist on successfully bidding for the Fire Rule Seed!"
The old man gestured to Lu Tao's room, then placed the rule seed into the teleportation array on the auction platform. As the teleportation array lit up, the rule seed disappeared.
The old man took out another golden seed and said, "Next, we will auction the Golden Rule Seed. The starting price is also..."
Knock knock!
Almost as soon as the old man finished speaking, there was a knock on Lu Tao's door.
At the same time, a pleasant female voice entered Lu Tao's ears, "Fellow Daoist, I am a manager of the Crimson Sun Society, here to complete the transaction."
"Please come in."
Lu Tao casually waved his hand, opened the door, and let him in.
"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, dressed in a bright red outfit, exuding an air of extreme confidence and reminiscent of a chivalrous woman.
Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, making her look even more crisp and neat.
"I am dressed in crimson!"
As soon as the woman entered, she introduced herself, then took out the Fire Rule Seed and handed it to Lu Tao, saying, "Fellow Daoist, please examine it."
"good."
Lu Tao nodded and took the rule seed in his hand.
Instantly.
A scorching heat emanated from the seed of the Fire Rule. Lu Tao estimated that even an ordinary Divine Lord would likely suffer a loss if he encountered it, given just its fiery aura.
After confirming that the rule seed was correct, Lu Tao took out a spatial ring that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to Yin Hongzhuang, saying, "Is it alright to deliver it with a Grade-two Divine Stone?"
"no problem!"
Yin Hongzhuang nodded with a smile, checked the items, and then took her leave.
Lu Tao carefully put away the rule seeds and continued the auction of the gold rule seeds, "Five low-grade divine veins!"
When Lu Tao made his bid, the bidding throughout the entire auction paused momentarily.
Because they really didn't expect Lu Tao to auction it again.
Normally speaking.
A cultivator usually only has one talent. Since Lu Tao has already auctioned the Fire Rule Seed, the chances of him continuing to auction the Gold Rule Seed are not high.
after all……
There are quite a few talents like water and fire that coexist in Yulongtian. If one has good talent and comprehension, it is not difficult to cultivate to the God King realm.
But those like Jin Huo are few and far between.
The existence of these two talents does not benefit each other's cultivation, unlike water and fire, which, at the very least, can help each other in a mutually reinforcing and mutually destructive relationship as long as the cultivation is correct.
Whether in understanding or cultivating a domain or realm, progress will be extremely rapid.
But the combination of metal and fire is very difficult!
Most beings with these two talents will be trapped in the realm of comprehension of the Celestial Gods or the realm of cultivation of the Divine Lords for their entire lives.
Those who can cultivate to the level of God King are indeed relatively few.
Therefore, Lu Tao's renewed offer surprised them.
Considering Lu Tao's determination earlier, this time, after Lu Tao made his bid, only a few other beings followed up a few times before giving up bidding.
final.
Lu Tao bought this Golden Rule Seed for the price of six low-grade divine veins, saving one compared to the previous bid.
then.
Yin Hongzhuang reappeared in Lu Tao's room and completed the transaction.
Just as she was about to leave, Lu Tao bid again for the Wood Rule Seeds.
Seeing this, Yin Hongzhuang secretly wondered, "Could this person possess the Five Elements Talent? Or... is he merely auctioning off the rule seed for the Five Elements Prodigy?"
In fact, at this moment, all the creatures in the auction house had this suspicion in their hearts.
As for the auction being held for multiple god-kings of a family or power, they did not make such a guess.
after all.
Although the five elements are the most abundant innate talents among living beings, it is not very realistic for any family or force to produce many God Kings at the same time, even in the Tianyu Sect.
And even if that were the case...
They wouldn't be auctioning the Five Elements Rule Seeds in such a blatant manner; they could have done it at a different time and at a different auction.
Not only can the collection of rule seeds be completed more discreetly, but it can also avoid other beings suspecting that a genius of the Five Elements has appeared under one's own power.
This could lead to unnecessary trouble.
therefore.
They speculated that Lu Tao was either a prodigy among the Five Elements, auctioning for himself, or for his family or power.
Lu Tao's subsequent actions confirmed their suspicions.
After auctioning the seeds of the Wood Rule, Lu Tao continued to auction the seeds of the Earth Rule.
really.
He wants all the seeds of the Five Elements.
"Tsk tsk, yet another prodigy among the Five Elements."
"I wonder which faction they belong to, that they're so blatant. Aren't they afraid of being targeted by other factions?"
"They must have powerful connections, otherwise why would they be so high-profile?"
...
Many cultivators discussed it animatedly, very curious about Lu Tao's true identity and background, but they were only curious and didn't have any other thoughts.
It didn't take long.
Lu Tao then successfully bid for the entire set of Five Elements Rule Seeds and completed the transaction in the room.
"Fellow Daoist, could you leave a communication mark? You can contact me anytime if needed in the future."
After the transaction was completed, Yin Hongzhuang smiled and asked Lu Tao to exchange communication marks. As if afraid that Lu Tao would refuse, she added, "If Chi Ri has any good items to auction in the future, I will be able to inform you as soon as possible."
"Can!"
Lu Tao nodded with a smile, then said his name, "I am Zhang Chao."
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, please continue."
Yin Hongzhuang's smile widened. After exchanging communication marks, she prepared to take her leave, but then she saw that this fellow Daoist Zhang also stood up.
Lu Tao said, "Fellow Daoist Yin, I am preparing to leave. Does the Crimson Sun Society have a teleportation array?"
Yin Hongzhuang smiled and said, "Yes, my Chi Ri will have a random teleportation array that can teleport you to various states in the Yan Domain based on your choice. Please follow me."
Yin Hongzhuang turned to the side and gestured for them to proceed, then led the way.
Lu Tao nodded and followed Yin Hongzhuang away.
soon.
Led by Yin Hongzhuang, the two arrived at a large hall, inside which was a huge teleportation array.
“Fellow Daoist Zhang, the teleportation array is engraved with the locations of the various states in the Flame Domain. When you are teleporting, you only need to touch a certain state with your divine soul, and the teleportation array will teleport you there.”
After explaining, Yin Hongzhuang added, "Although the location is random, please rest assured that you will not be teleported to a place with other formations."
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Yin."
Lu Tao nodded slightly and stepped directly onto the teleportation array.
He seemed completely unconcerned about any unexpected events or whether he would be targeted by the Red Sun Society, demonstrating his complete trust in them.
This action caused Yin Hongzhuang to pause slightly in surprise.
But she quickly recovered, her face immediately breaking into a radiant smile, and she said softly, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, farewell!"
"Goodbye!"
As Lu Tao nodded slightly, his figure instantly disappeared from the teleportation array.
"What a strange person!"
Yin Hongzhuang stared at the empty teleportation array with a strange look in her eyes.
The other beings all assumed that this person had a powerful background and came from a great force, but in reality, she didn't think so.
The main reason is that this person used only divine stones when making payments, and they were even low-grade divine stones.
Such actions do not seem to be those of someone with substantial wealth or powerful connections.
"It seems that another suddenly rising star among the Five Elements prodigies!" Yin Hongzhuang thought to herself.
then.
Without giving it much thought, she left the main hall.
——
"Hmm, not bad, the service from the Crimson Sun Society is quite good."
On the other side.
In a remote state, Lu Tao suddenly appeared. Sensing the location of the teleportation, he was very satisfied.
When he looked at the jade slip in the system space and the five rule seeds that had begun to be cultivated, he was even more satisfied.
Needless to say, the jade slip will be of great help to Lu Tao.
As for the seeds of the Five Elements rules...
It may seem like a high cost, and it can only be cultivated once, but once it is cultivated, upgraded, and matured, and then refined into a pill, its effect is many times better than that of a divine medicine of the same rules.
This deal was absolutely worthwhile.
"But these few seeds of rules won't satisfy me!"
Lu Tao smiled faintly, praying that he would not be discovered by any living being, and then took out the Interdimensional Passage and placed it in front of him. Without hesitation, he stepped into the Interdimensional Passage.
The next moment.
The passage between the two worlds has closed, and Lu Tao has vanished!
