The area outside Youdu Marketplace instantly became lively, and the figure who had been knocked away slowly got up from the mess, dusted himself off, and lifted his robe to reveal his figure.
The newcomer was wearing a sleeveless shirt with his arms covered in patterns of the five poisonous creatures. He had short, dark yellow hair and deep, dark gray eyes, making him look quite frightening.
He was none other than Huang Senchu, the young master of the Yellow Springs Sect, the third largest sect in Youdu City.
"You dare to mess with me? I'll remember you. I hope you won't disappoint me after the Youdu Auction."
The young master of the Yellow Springs Sect was unusually calm today. He glared at Gu Yifeng with a fierce look, a murky yellow light flashing in his eyes. Then he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, coldly brushed past him, and walked into the Youdu Market.
"Alright, let's go."
Miao Xuanzi didn't care at all. He always let young people do as they pleased, since he would clean up the mess. What did the Yellow Springs Sect matter anyway?
The two entered the store, and soon a beautiful woman in a gorgeous short skirt led them to the fifth floor.
"Distinguished guests, tomorrow is the start of the auction. You may rest in the marketplace for now and explore Youdu City on your own. I will escort you to the auction tomorrow. By the way, my name is Xiao Jiu."
"You two can ask me any questions you have at any time."
The woman smiled and spoke to the two of them, leading them to a room on the fifth floor.
The guest room was quite large, more than enough for two people to rest in, and its luxurious decorations made it impossible to imagine that this was in Youdu.
"By the way, are there still items up for auction now?"
After confirming that no one was around, Gu Yifeng turned to Xiao Jiu and asked.
"That's certainly possible. You can contact me anytime an hour before the auction starts, and I can help you contact the auction house's appraisers. Our only condition is the value of the items; they must be rare and priceless."
Xiao Jiu was overjoyed upon hearing this and smiled at Gu Yifeng.
"Then please contact me now, I have a few items that need to be auctioned."
Gu Yifeng spoke slowly. Since he was here for an auction, he naturally needed some assets. The ten or twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones he had were not enough to even look at the auction.
Soon, Xiao Jiu invited an old man with white hair and a purple robe. Although his cultivation was only at the peak of the Condensation Realm, one could sense his extraordinary nature with just a glance.
"Where are the items you two wish to list for auction?"
The old man didn't waste any words and asked directly.
Gu Yifeng pointed to the pile of things on the table. He had taken out a lot of treasures from his spatial ring that he had received as a reward from the system's daily check-in, which he didn't need for the time being, while Xiao Jiu brought the old man over.
Miao Xuanzi wasn't curious; she was more interested in Gu Yifeng. She calmly sipped her spiritual tea beside him.
"This...this...this! This is the core marrow of a ten-thousand-year-old rock! And naturally formed dark gold star-patterned steel, a meteorite iron core from outer space...you two, are you really going to auction this off?!"
Looking at the pile of countless treasures on the table, the old man's eyes widened, and even a few streaks of blood appeared, showing how excited he was. Upon hearing this, Miao Xuanzi looked directly at Gu Yifeng.
"Sell! You can take whatever percentage you want. I only have one requirement: the spirit stones must be readily available, and I must be able to mobilize them for this auction."
Gu Yifeng remained calm. The items he selected were from the lowest quality batch provided by the system, mostly obtained through daily check-ins on the Immortal Ship.
"Of course! There's no need to check the quality; just having these is enough. We don't even need to wait for the auction to begin. Jiu'er, go and fetch the black card for this distinguished guest!"
"Honored guest, this black card is a token of our sincerity from Youdu Auction House. It contains a limit of one million low-grade spirit stones, which can be used in underground spirit manors throughout the continent. The limit will be refreshed every year. These will not be included in your auction fee; consider it a gift from me."
The old man spoke with great excitement, and soon Xiao Jiu brought over a black card. It was a very simple card, but it was made of precious gold wire iron, and each card was worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"If you have anything else you wish to auction in the future, you can send it directly to Youdu. I guarantee that no matter what the final auction price is, I will send the spirit stones to you first at the highest market price."
As the old man spoke, Xiao Jiu couldn't help but cover her mouth; this was the first time she had ever heard of such treatment.
Gu Yifeng nodded upon hearing this, said nothing more, took the black card, and the old man and Xiao Jiu walked out with the pile of auction items.
"Not bad, little guy, you must be quite wealthy."
After the two left, Miao Xuanzi patted Gu Yifeng on the shoulder and said.
"Ahem, they were all plundered from the four extreme regions."
Gu Yifeng coughed lightly, speaking without batting an eye. Miao Xuanzi laughed loudly, turned to the side, and closed his eyes to pretend to sleep.
...
The next morning, Xiao Jiu changed into an even more revealing outfit and, almost touching Gu Yifeng, led him and Miao Xuanzi into the auction house. Behind the auction house was a much larger venue with three floors.
Gu Yifeng and his companion were naturally in a private room on the top floor, a top-tier room, from which they could clearly see the entire auction.
They can see what's below, but those below can't see through the glass in front of them—that's the privilege of the VIP rooms.
Xiao Jiu served tea and water to the two of them and brought them plates of delicious snacks as a way to pass the time. Gu Yifeng, on the other hand, kept his expression unchanged as he watched the auction stage, waiting for the auction to begin.
After another two incense sticks' worth of time, the auction officially began. The person hosting on stage was a tall, middle-aged man with a serious expression, clearly a seasoned veteran who had been preparing for a long time.
"Please be quiet, everyone. The Youdu Auction has begun, and I'm sure you've all heard about it. Without further ado, let's welcome our first item: the Mystic Spirit Sword Grass!"
"This Xuanling Sword Grass is ten thousand years old and was harvested in the Sword Abyss of Zhongzhou. I don't need to elaborate on its effects, do I? Starting bid: 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 10,000. Let's begin."
As soon as the auctioneer gave the order, the once quiet auction hall erupted into a commotion, and the price of the Xuanling Sword Grass instantly soared to 800,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"Completing the Sword Profound Body allows one to refine the Sword Profound Pill and comprehend the sword intent; it is indeed a rare and valuable thing."
Gu Yifeng nodded slightly, quickly recalling the function of the Xuanling Sword Grass.
"interested in?"
Miao Xuanzi smiled and asked, but Gu Yifeng shook his head. The Sword Profound Body was useless to him, far inferior to the Sword Immortal Saint Body he possessed. As for comprehending sword intent, in his opinion, relying on pills was an even lower-grade choice.
"One million!"
Just then, a loud voice came from the third-floor private room.
