Although it was strange, Feng Chu didn't think much of it and followed Lou Munan into the Tianbao Pavilion. Feng Chu had actually been to the Tianbao Pavilion before, but he couldn't get to the top floor.
Lou Munan led him straight to the top floor. Lou Munan went and then came back, which terrified the old monsters on the top floor!
When he led Feng Chu into the auction hall on the top floor, everyone who was bidding fell silent; the entire hall was deathly still.
Feng Chu: "...???"
Murong Qi and the others, who had previously coveted Lou Munan but hadn't yet made a move, felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing him. Cold sweat beaded on their foreheads. Why was this nemesis back? Was he here to cause them trouble?
A multitude of gazes fell upon Lou Munan and Feng Chu, their eyes filled with deep apprehension and hidden fear. The gray-robed elder on the auction stage also wore a stiff expression, wondering why Lou Munan had returned. But their Tianbao Pavilion hadn't offended this person; surely he wasn't here to cause trouble for Tianbao Pavilion?
"Why are they looking at you like that?" Feng Chu asked Lou Munan. The Light Thunder Beast in his arms trembled at first when it saw so many Void Refinement stage monsters, but then, sensing that they seemed more afraid than it, it stood arrogantly on Feng Chu's shoulder.
Lou Munan smiled at the boy and said, "How would I know?"
The two of them didn't go to a private room, but sat down directly at an empty table on the first floor. After Lou Munan sat down, he looked at the people around him and smiled slightly, "What are you looking at me for? Let's continue the auction!"
Everyone felt a jolt and immediately averted their gaze, but each of them harbored various suspicions.
Most of the guests here are at the Void Refinement stage. They have all seen a lot and were shocked that Lou Munan had suddenly returned, but they quickly regained their composure and the auction continued.
"The fellow Daoist in private room number thirty-six just bid 500,000 high-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone bidding higher?" the gray-robed elder on the auction stage asked.
Six hundred thousand!
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
A stone tablet floated before the gray-robed elder; it was a high-grade spiritual artifact. In the end, this artifact was sold for one million high-grade spirit stones.
After the stone tablet was auctioned off, the gray-robed elder waved his hand, and a purple light flashed, revealing a small purple cauldron floating in front of him. Two lifelike dragons were carved on the cauldron, which continuously emitted bursts of purple light and exuded an ethereal aura.
This is a secondary celestial artifact.
What is a secondary immortal artifact? It is a magical artifact that has not reached the level of a spiritual artifact, but possesses one or two strands of immortal energy. Although it is not a true immortal artifact, its power is naturally far superior to that of a spiritual artifact because it has immortal energy.
"A secondary immortal artifact, the Purple Dragon Cauldron. This is a magic weapon that combines offense and defense." The gray-robed elder said, casting a spell on the Purple Dragon Cauldron. The two small dragons on the cauldron moved and flew out, their bodies suddenly growing to over ten zhang in height. They roared and released powerful auras. They circled the gray-robed elder once and then returned to the Purple Dragon Cauldron.
"The starting bid for this magic weapon is eight million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least one hundred thousand higher." The gray-robed elder's voice echoed throughout the hall.
Immediately, someone joined the bidding.
Eight million!
"Eight million one hundred thousand!"
"Eight million two hundred thousand!"
"Eight million three hundred thousand!"
As Feng Chu watched the crowd bidding, he suddenly shouted, "Eight million four hundred thousand!"
As soon as he finished shouting, the entire auction hall fell silent for a moment.
In everyone's eyes, Feng Chu was just a kid in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. The only reason he could achieve such an effect was because Lou Munan was sitting next to him.
Seeing that he and Lou Munan seemed very close, many of those who were about to bid swallowed their words.
Feng Chu looked around in surprise. Why hadn't they started bidding?
He was just saying it for fun. Although he was somewhat tempted by the Purple Dragon Cauldron, he felt that his wealth was no match for those old guys in the Void Refinement stage. He was just joining in the fun.
But why did they all fall silent after he finished shouting? He glanced at Lou Munan next to him and knew the answer lay with the man beside him.
Are they really that afraid of Xu Fengzhi?
This made Feng Chu curious about Xu Fengzhi's strength. Could he already be at the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm?
When he met Xu Fengzhi ten years ago, Xu Fengzhi was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. In ten years, he went from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage of the Void Refinement realm, which might seem crazy to others.
But in Feng Chu's eyes, this was just average speed.
Because his cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary people, many incredible things seem perfectly normal to him.
Lou Munan looked at Feng Chu: "You like this magic weapon?"
Feng Chu stared at the Purple Dragon Cauldron and said in a weak voice, "It seems a bit interesting."
Actually, he was just joking. But if he could buy it for 8.4 million high-grade spirit stones, it wouldn't seem like a bad deal!
He felt he hadn't lost out, but Tianbaoge felt he had lost a fortune.
The gray-robed elder on the stage looked around, paying particular attention to the private room on the second floor, and forced a smile: "Is there any fellow Daoist who can offer a higher price?"
In private room number six on the second floor, a middle-aged man in a purple robe hesitated for a moment before he was about to speak. But just before he could speak, Lou Munan looked at him coldly. That gaze chilled him to the bone, and the oppressive feeling almost made his courage shatter.
The middle-aged man in the purple robe broke out in a cold sweat and no longer dared to speak.
On the first floor, a female cultivator dressed in white was also about to bid, but she was so frightened by Lou Munan's gaze that she trembled and turned pale. The pressure from him made her feel as if her primordial spirit was about to shatter.
So no one else bid.
The gray-robed elder, who was also the elder of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to announce: "Since no one else is bidding, the Purple Dragon Cauldron will belong to this young friend."
With a wave of his hand, he sent the Purple Dragon Cauldron flying towards Feng Chu, hovering in front of him. Feng Chu stared at the cauldron intently for a while before storing it in his storage bag. Then, he took out his storage bag and tossed it directly to the gray-robed elder on the auction stage.
The gray-robed elder used his divine sense to count the number of spirit stones inside, and it was indeed correct. However, he had originally estimated that the Purple Dragon Cauldron could fetch at least ten million high-grade spirit stones at auction, and this brat had bought it for only eight million four hundred thousand... It was truly...
It hurts so much to buy this.
Forcing a smile, the gray-robed old man continued the auction.
The next treasure is a protective ring, which is also a near-immortal artifact. This ring is called the Phoenix Head Ring, named so because its design features a phoenix head, and the gemstones set in it resemble the eyes of a phoenix.
"This phoenix-head ring can withstand fifty attacks from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. The starting bid is ten million high-grade spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than one hundred thousand," the old man said with a smile.
Being able to withstand fifty attacks from a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if that refers to an early Nascent Soul cultivator, is enough to make many of the Void Refinement stage elders present very excited.
