83: The intersection of fate

The host's magnetic and alluring voice slowly flowed through the air.

The atmosphere in the entire auction hall seemed to be quietly ignited.

Everyone involuntarily perked up, their eyes gleaming with anticipation and curiosity.

According to past practice, every item that appeared as the grand finale was a treasure carefully selected by the organizers from numerous precious items, like sifting gold from sand.

These finale items were without exception top-quality, rare, gold-level magical artifacts, with market valuations easily exceeding hundreds of millions of yuan, enough to attract the attention and covetousness of countless powerful figures, wealthy merchants, and even C-Rank Experts.

Accompanied by a melodious and mysterious music, a sexy woman in a red qipao stepped onto the center of the stage.

She carefully held a tray covered with crimson silk, causing everyone in the hall to hold their breath in anticipation.

Immediately after, countless streams of colorful runic light suddenly lit up from all directions.

They seemed to have a consciousness of their own, elegantly intertwining, and finally converging into a strong beam of light that shone precisely and gently on the mysterious red cloth.

"Please allow me to assure every distinguished guest present that the item about to be revealed before your eyes will surely surpass your imagination and awaken the deepest desires and passions within you..."

The host's words were full of passion, every word a gem, acting like a catalyst that pushed the atmosphere to a new climax.

Just as everyone's heartbeats quickened with the rhythm of the host's words, the red cloth was slowly unveiled by several runes.

Immediately, all eyes focused on it, and gasps of surprise erupted continuously.

When Han Fei saw the item, his eyes suddenly widened.

The item on the tray was reflected in his pupils, and his face was filled with shock and disbelief; he even almost forgot to breathe.

"white god clear tea?!"

Han Fei immediately thought of Princess Luna.

After all, white god clear tea is quite rare, even more so than magic cake.

Han Fei felt that in the entire Tianhe City, besides Princess Luna, it was unlikely that anyone else would possess white god clear tea.

"Since she dares to bring it to an auction for trade, she shouldn't be playing any tricks, right?"

"Or... does she know my whereabouts, and that I want white god clear tea..."

Such a thought flashed through Han Fei's mind.

Although there was such a possibility, this hypothesis was too far-fetched.

Moreover, even if Princess Luna had some means to know all this, she wouldn't be so foolish as to directly offer white god clear tea to lure him.

After all, there are countless strange items that can increase luck, and with Princess Luna's ability, she could completely choose other, more covert lures.

Using white god clear tea as a trap would undoubtedly be a foolish act that reveals her identity.

With this thought, Han Fei's doubts gradually dissipated, and his speculation about Princess Luna vanished as well.

Just then, the host's voice on stage rang out again, echoing like a melodious bell throughout the venue.

"I believe everyone present has recognized it."

"That's right, this is the famous Sub-Sage of Tea, white god clear tea!"

"It can allow a person to bathe in the light of luck for a short period, turn the tide, and achieve extraordinary things!"

"Historically, it has proven this point more than once..."

...The host's impassioned words, accompanied by echoes, continuously detailed the legends and miraculous effects of white god clear tea.

In addition to boosting good fortune, white god clear tea also has some special effects depending on its quality and type.

It's important to know that tea treasure chests found in different regions can be further categorized into Sea Tea treasure chests, Plateau Tea treasure chests, Magic Tea treasure chests, and so on.

The white god clear tea opened from different types of tea treasure chests is naturally also different.

The white god clear tea presented before everyone now is specifically named 'Sea Salt white god clear tea,' and it was opened from a Sea Tea treasure chest.

Compared to other white god clear tea, Sea Salt white god clear tea has a faint sea salt flavor.

And in terms of effect, it can greatly increase a person's luck at sea.

If Sea Salt white god clear tea is consumed at sea, the increased good fortune will not last for just a few hours, but for a full one to two days!

This good fortune is enough to allow travelers to avoid storms, encounter abundant fishing grounds, or accidentally discover treasures hidden beneath the waves.

In addition, it can also increase the luck of nearby companions to a certain extent, making the entire team seem to be enveloped in a lucky aura, jointly experiencing unexpected good fortune again and again.

And when the quality of Sea Salt white god clear tea reaches the platinum level, the drinker will even temporarily possess a trait that attracts good luck.

A person with this trait will be like a magnet, subtly drawing all items or opportunities that promote good luck to themselves, leading to continuous good fortune!

In the VIP room, Han Fei listened intently to the host's introduction, his excitement beyond words.

It's important to know that the upcoming treasure chest exhibition is being held on a giant cruise ship sailing on the sea!

What could be more suitable for an exhibition at sea than the specific luck bonus of Sea Salt white god clear tea?

A surge of excitement, like a tide, washed over him, Han Fei's heart rate suddenly accelerated, his chest feeling as if it was tightly gripped by an invisible hand.

He absolutely had to get the Sea Salt white god clear tea!

But a problem lay before him.

He didn't know what kind of exchange conditions the owner of the white god clear tea would propose.

The value of white god clear tea goes without saying; it is definitely no less than a general platinum-level magical artifact.

To exchange for it, at least a platinum-level item would be required.

Thinking of this, Han Fei's gaze unconsciously turned to Wang Hao beside him.

As the wealthy Young Master of the Muhuai Consortium, Wang Hao should be able to produce a platinum-level magical artifact if he paid some price.

He just didn't know if Wang Hao would be willing to help with this favor.

Judging by Wang Hao's personality displayed earlier, the possibility of him helping was quite high.

Han Fei was only afraid that even if Wang Hao was willing to help, he might not be able to meet the other party's requirements.

What would he do then?

"Should I risk bringing out the magic cake?"

"Or ask the Special Guard Team for help?"

Just as Han Fei's thoughts were racing, the atmosphere at the exhibition suddenly grew tense.

"Alright, now it's time to reveal the exchange conditions."

The host gestured to a graceful lady, who slowly carried a seemingly ordinary yet mysteriously gray stone slab into the dazzling center of the exhibition.

As the stone slab was revealed, everyone was surprised to find its surface covered with disgusting black spots, as if ancient years had left their stains, emitting an ominous aura.

"Do you all see the black spots on this stone slab?"

The host's voice was low, yet it clearly reached every corner.

"These black spots on the stone slab are the conditions for this exchange."

"Anyone who can clear these black spots, without any other price, can take the white god clear tea."

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Everyone's gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, was firmly fixed on this unassuming stone slab.

In each person's eyes, a light of desire, doubt, and challenge intertwined.

Han Fei was no exception; he stared at the stone slab, his brows slightly furrowed.

After several scrutinies, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation, "This... how is this possible?"

The sound was light, yet it was filled with disbelief.

Wang Hao turned his head at the sound, his eyes gleaming with intense curiosity, "Brother Han, have you noticed something?"

Han Fei did not answer immediately, a hint of hesitation flashing across his brow, "I'm not too sure."

"I'll have them bring it closer for you to see."

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and soon, an assistant in a sharp suit with a serious expression entered.

Wang Hao quickly whispered a few words, and the other party nodded knowingly, then exited the room, his movements efficient and discreet.

Not long after, the assistant appeared in the hall, quietly approached the host, and whispered a few words.

The host's expression changed slightly, then he took the microphone and said, "A distinguished guest seems to have noticed something, and he needs to examine it up close. Is that possible?"

Soon, a black-clad staff member walked out from somewhere and nodded to the host.

The host understood and motioned for the lady holding the stone tray to follow the black-clad staff member.

Shortly after, the lady presented the stone slab to Han Fei.

Han Fei leaned in for a closer look, and his doubts gradually turned into certainty.

"It really seems to be... a pollution source!"

Since he Cultivated his Cleaning Superpower to the Peak of the first layer, his perception of pollution sources had become increasingly keen; no tiny pollution source could escape his eyes.

Each of the black spots on the stone slab before him contained a trace of a pollution source.

Besides the pollution source, the black spots also contained other unknown substances.

They intertwined with the pollution source, forming a complex and subtle pattern, like a strange symbiotic phenomenon in nature, which was astounding.

The pollution source played a role like glue, making all the substances tightly mix together to form the black spots adhering to the stone slab.

"If I absorb all the pollution sources, will the black spots still adhere to the stone slab?"

Han Fei immediately decided to try; he extended his right hand and activated his Cleaning Superpower.

Immediately, a dark green garbage can appeared, slowly rotating.

The next moment, the invisible pollution sources seemed to be summoned, being precisely and accurately drawn into the garbage can, thread by thread, wisp by wisp.

As the pollution sources disappeared, the black spots on the stone slab seemed to lose their vitality, instantly disintegrating into fine black powder that gently drifted down and covered the ground.

All of this happened too quickly, so fast that Wang Hao and Second Lieutenant Yang Guodong, who were beside him, didn't even react.

A moment later, they looked at each other, too shocked to speak.

Han Fei smiled and said to the lady in front of him, "I suppose I've solved it, right?"

The lady paused for two seconds before stiffly nodding, then turned and left.

Second Lieutenant Yang Guodong quickly asked, "Brother Han, are these black spots related to Garbage Monsters?"

He knew about the Cleaning Superpower.

Although this ability was very strong, it was only effective against Garbage Monsters.

Han Fei slowly nodded, "That's right, I sensed the presence of pollution sources in those black spots, so I tried to see if the cleaning ability would be effective."

"So you've solved it, right?" Wang Hao said excitedly.

Han Fei nodded faintly, "I suppose so."

Everyone looked out the window.

At this moment, the lady had already respectfully delivered the stone slab to the room of the white god clear tea's owner.

And that mysterious owner was, as Han Fei had guessed, Princess Luna.

"She actually solved it."

Princess Luna's eyes were wide open, filled with an expression of disbelief, as if confirming an almost impossible fact.

She had only held a 'let's try' attitude.

She never expected that at an auction of this caliber, someone would actually be able to solve the problem on the stone slab.

After repeated checks, confirming that the pollution marks on the stone slab had completely disappeared, Princess Luna's face finally blossomed into a brilliant smile.

She turned to the lady standing by her side, her voice full of gratitude: "Please convey on my behalf that the problem has been solved."

As the maid nodded gently and exited the room, the atmosphere inside relaxed.

Seville stood by, his gaze deep as he stared at the recently uncursed stone slab, thoughtfully saying, "It seems our luck is very good this time. If the black spots are resolved like this, it will save us a lot of trouble."

Princess Luna heard this and just chuckled, "Hehe, that cup of white god clear tea wasn't drunk in vain."

Before the auction began, Princess Luna had her maid brew a pot of white god clear tea, subtly paving the way for good fortune.

However, she didn't believe that the problem was entirely solved because of the white god clear tea.

While white god clear tea can greatly enhance good fortune, it also has its limits and cannot increase it endlessly.

"Your Highness, while the good luck effect of the white god clear tea is still active, why not try to contact that Adult?" Seville suggested.

Princess Luna nodded slightly, her expression immediately becoming serious.

Then, from the small pink pouch she carried, she carefully took out a slender silver needle covered with complex runes.

The silver needle shimmered with a faint glow under the light, seemingly containing some ancient and mysterious power.

Next, she carefully touched her delicate finger with the tip of the needle; with a faint "snap," a nearly invisible small hole appeared on her fingertip.

And at the wound where the skin broke, a faint golden light actually emanated.

Princess Luna gently squeezed the wound, and a drop of blood, as brilliant as gold and pure as perfection, slid from her fingertip, falling precisely onto the center of the stone slab.

Instantly, the stone slab seemed to be activated, rippling with layers of golden waves.

The scene was like a golden pearl dropped into a tranquil lake surface in the morning light.

The water shimmered, beautiful beyond compare.

Within the ripples, a blurry and petite figure gradually appeared, with faint wings unfolding behind it, both mysterious and sacred.

If Han Fei were present at this moment, he would surely be stunned speechless by this sudden sight.

Because that hazy figure was none other than the sleeping Luna Fairy Spirit!
