“Respect to the distinguished guest!”
For a moment, uniform voices echoed throughout the Wang family mansion.
“Rise!”
Among the two, a young man with a fair complexion and a sharp gaze briefly darted at the members of the Wang family before he spoke.
Upon identifying the signal, Wang Qing promptly instructed his people to stand up.
“The spiritual energy of this tiny place is incredibly tainted. Still, you managed to cultivate to the Primordial Realm in such an environment. I must admit, your talent is impressive.”
The young man furrowed his brows as he spoke, waving his hand in front of his nose as though put off by the tainted spiritual energy.
Wang Qing, however, looked somewhat embarrassed. If asked where the most potent spiritual energy on Tianyuan Star could be found, his Wang family would undoubtedly be among the top contenders.
Even so, it was still not enough to attract the interest of the man before him.
“Thank you for your praise, my lord. We have prepared the highest-quality Spirit Gathering Array for you. The spiritual energy there is much more refined. May I invite you to step this way?”
The Wang Clan Clan Leader, Wang Ran, stepped forward at this point and spoke.
“No need. My cultivation technique thrives on hardship. What use is strength forged in the lap of luxury?
“I have heard you have obtained a Mythical level supergrade material. What is
“Ah, please pardon my ignorance, but we managed to determine only its quality. We failed to ascertain what material it is.”
“This material is currently listed in the auction; we initially planned to feature it as the grand finale.”
“Why not accompany us to the auction, my lord? If anything catches your eye, speak up, and we will deliver it straight to you.”
“I’m on your turf, so naturally, I’ll play by your rules. If I win something, I pay for it. Don’t think you can ingratiate yourselves with my Ling Clan by offering trinkets. ”
A hint of derision crossed Ling Kong’s face, leaving the Wang family members fumbling for a response.
“Aren’t you going to lead the way?”
The middle-aged spirit servant standing beside him voiced out.
“Yes, yes!”
The Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Qing, gave Wang Ran a signal, and they started leading the group towards the auction venue. Wang Ran was sent ahead to reach the Tianyuan Auction site first.
“Hmm? Taixu Longkun!”
“This rare Starry Sky Beast appeared on our Tianyuan Star!”
“If this was auctioned off at any usual auction, it’d be a Highlight Auction Item, despite only being Superb Transcendence.”
“However, now is not a good time to make a move!”
Within Tianyuan City, at the Tian Long Gang Headquarters, Gang Leader Qian Yang frowned at the report handed to him by his subordinate.
The report also included portraits of Ye Feng and Ancient Dragon Kun.
Although Qian Yang held a high position as the Tian Long Gang leader, intimidating the entire cultivation world of Tianyuan Star, in reality, he was nothing more than a puppet of the Wang Family. Naturally, he dared not cause commotion at this critical time.
After some consideration, Qian Yang left the Tian Long Gang Headquarters to attend the Tianyuan Auction. As he knew the Wang Family’s prominent members would accompany the esteemed guest to the auction, he decided to report this matter directly to the Wang Clan Clan Leader.
On the other hand, Ye Feng and the Ancient Dragon Kun arrived at the Tianyuan Auction House, presided over by the four major families of Tianyuan Star.
Usually, each family would host individual auctions at their own auction houses. However, the annual Tianyuan Auction is always held at the Tianyuan Auction House.
The Tianyuan Auction lasts four days, each day managed by one of the four major families. This year, the Wang family was in charge for the first day.
The Wang Family planned to utilize a mythical level treasure as the grand finale, hoping to dominate the auction and outshine the other three families.
Ye Feng chose not to sit in the main hall and instead paid extra for a private box.
The auction house had strict entry requirements. The general seating area required a minimum of ten thousand Source Coins, whereas the private boxes were priced even higher. The most exclusive boxes were reserved for the four major families and were not open to outsiders.
The second-best boxes required hundreds of millions of Source Coins or an equal amount of wealth, while the ones below that required a million Source Coins.
Ye Feng’s private box was of the lowest tier. He did have some Source Coins, amassed from killing members of the foreign races in the Beast God Mountain.
Despite being only at the Heavenly Saint Realm, these elites of their respective races were incredibly wealthy. Ye Feng estimated that the Source Coins he acquired from these individuals alone amounted to nearly one billion.
Indeed, the most generous contributions came from the four individuals from the Ling Clan and Thunder Tribe.
He didn’t opt for a higher-tier box as he didn’t want to draw too much attention. His choice to book a private box was merely for the sake of peace and quiet.
“Wow, they say ‘a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse’, and ‘one won’t get rich without ill-gotten wealth’, making me seriously consider robbing these clan successors.”
Ye Feng couldn’t help but marvel how easily money came by. This didn’t even count the fortune given to him by Ao Zhan, the father of Ao Xue from Tian Long.
He was confident that his current wealth could surpass even that of some Life and Death Realm powerhouses.
Therefore, apart from mythical-level heavenly treasures and earthly treasures, nothing could pique his interest anymore.
“Hmm?”
At that moment, Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. Looking through the one-way glass of his private box, he noticed a group in the box across from them.
Since the private boxes were located on the second floor, boxes lined all four directions. The main direction housed the boxes belonging to the four major families, whereas the boxes on the three other sides were available to outsiders.
Currently, Ye Feng’s small private box was situated directly across the box belonging to the Wang Family.
He saw a group of people escorting two men into the Wang Family’s box.
Ye Feng could detect a familiar aura from both the middle-aged man and the youth.
The aura of the Ling Clan.
“The universe really is tiny!”
Ye Feng chuckled bitterly, taken aback by the unexpected encounter with the Ling Clan before even setting foot in the Depths of Starry Sky of the Central Star Domain.
“Does this count as ‘enemies often cross paths’?”
“Well, from my point of view, perhaps not. But from theirs, it probably does.”
“Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about this, Kun Kun?”
Ye Feng turned to the Ancient Dragon Kun sitting beside him.
“What’s there to fear? Just fight them off. You’ve already killed those at the Life and Death Realm, why worry now?”
“Besides, we can always run if things become unfavorable. I can take you wherever you want.”
“By the way, once we reach the Depths of Starry Sky, you must come with me to the ancestral grounds of the Starry Sky Beasts. I want those haughty beast-clan fellows to recognize your power.”
“Before that, it would be best if I could advance to the Mythical level. At that point, even the oldest of our ancestors would be dumbstruck!” Ye Feng rolled his eyes and chose to ignore his request.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m sure all of you have eagerly anticipated the
Tianyuan Auction. Allow me to assure you that your wait shall not be in vain.”
“We, the Wang family, have provided all of you with an auction list. Please bid according to your needs.”
“Now, let us commence the auction with the first item – a Void Ship!”
A bewitching-looking woman from the core echelon of the Wang family was designated as the host for the Tianyuan Auction..
