64: Impressive financial resources, stunning the entire audience.
Inside the VIP private room of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, rare exotic fruits and Spiritual Tea fragrance filled the air, making it incredibly luxurious.
Lin Yao was enthusiastically introducing some strange tales and the distribution of various forces within Three Seas City to Ye Feiyan. Ye Feiyan nodded occasionally in response, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
As for Mysterious Ink, which had been brought along as a "mascot," it had absolutely no interest in this.
It quietly curled up on the incredibly comfortable Spirit Beast soft cushion prepared specifically for it and silently opened its attribute panel.
γ host: Mysterious Ink γ
γ Race: Primordial Black Dragon (Pseudo) γ
γ Realm: Third Tier Peak (Cannot Breakthrough) γ
γ Hint: host's current Bloodline has reached a Bottleneck. Please advance the Bloodline first to Breakthrough to the Early Fourth Tier Stage. γ
γ experience points required for Breakthrough to Early Fourth Tier Stage: 8,000,000 γ
γ experience points required for next Bloodline Evolution: 10,000,000 γ
"18 million..."
Looking at the sum of those two experience points, which could be called astronomical figures, Mysterious Ink only felt a toothache.
More than a month had passed since the last great battle.
In this past month, it had been "cultivating bitterly" 24 hours a day without interruption, and now, it had finally accumulated over 6 million experience points.
But even so, it was still a full 4 million short of the 10 million required for the Bloodline upgrade!
"experience points, still can't keep up..."
A trace of helplessness couldn't help but flash through Mysterious Ink's heart.
Now, it could only pin all its hopes on the Reborn Empress beside it.
Only by waiting for her to break through to the Golden Core Realm as soon as possible could the experience points it gained every second double again, from two points to three points!
By then, its great cause of leveling up could once again embark on the fast lane!
Just as Mysterious Ink was secretly calculating, the auction venue below, which had already been bustling with noise, finally fell completely silent.
An old man wearing brocade robes and looking spirited walked slowly onto the auction stage.
"Everyone!" His voice was loud, spreading throughout the venue, "This old man is the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce head auctioneer, Chief Auctioneer! I won't say any more unnecessary nonsense; this month's auction is now officially started!"
As his voice fell, the first auction item was presented by a maid.
It was a thousand-year-old "Red Sun Flower," a fire-attribute Spirit Medicine, which was a great tonic for fire-attribute Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
"I won't introduce the effects; everyone should know what this is."
"The starting bid is 100,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment cannot be less than 5,000."
Chief Auctioneer spoke loudly. After a pause, he continued: "The auction begins now."
As soon as his voice fell, Cultivators immediately began to bid.
"110,000."
"120,000."
"130,000!"
The price climbed steadily. Ye Feiyan in the private room watched quietly, without the slightest movement.
Clearly, this was not something she needed.
As for Mysterious Ink, it was eating Spirit fruits while watching the people bidding loudly with boredom.
Just watching for fun.
In the end, this 'Red Sun Flower' was taken by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator for the price of 200,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
Soon, the second and third items were also auctioned off one after another.
It wasn't until the fifth item was presented on the auction stage that Ye Feiyan's cold phoenix eyes, which had been calm as an ancient well, suddenly lit up!
"The next auction item is a Second Grade High Grade mutated Spirit fruit β golden spirit fruit!"
"This fruit not only contains extremely pure gold-attribute Qi, but it can also have the miraculous effect of stabilizing the dao foundation and sharpening gold to break barriers when a Cultivator breaks through!"
"Whether it is for gold-attribute Cultivators or for Fellow Daoists who are about to break through a Bottleneck, it is a rare treasure!"
"The starting bid is 300,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones! Each increment must not be less than 10,000!"
This golden spirit fruit was precisely one of the key auxiliary Spirit Medicines she needed to refine the "gold breaking pill"!
"310,000!"
"320,000!"
As soon as Chief Auctioneer finished speaking, the bidding sounds below rose and fell, one after another.
Ye Feiyan did not hesitate at all and directly pressed the bidding button in the private room.
"600,000!"
Her cold, yet unquestionable voice instantly resounded throughout the entire venue!
Adding nearly 300,000 in one go!
This overbearing bidding method instantly caused those Cultivators below who were still fiercely competing to quiet down.
In the end, this golden spirit fruit was successfully taken by Ye Feiyan for the price of 600,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
"Junior Sister," Lin Yao, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you buying this golden spirit fruit for? And last time, you also exchanged those Yao Beast corpses for a large amount of Spirit Medicine for refining the gold breaking pill... You have only just stepped into the Foundation Establishment Peak, are you already preparing for the Golden Core Breakthrough?"
"In everything, success depends on preparation; without preparation, failure is certain." Ye Feiyan replied indifferently, which counted as tacitly agreeing.
Lin Yao, upon hearing this, did not harbor any suspicion.
In his eyes, his Junior Sister was a Prodigy with exceptional talent, so it was reasonable for her to prepare for the future Golden Core Dao in advance.
Soon, another item was presented, but Ye Feiyan did not participate in the bidding.
It was Lin Yao who, upon seeing a Yao Beast egg emitting an extraordinary aura, his eyes lit up, and he personally entered the fray, competing with others for a long time, eventually succeeding in taking it for a high price of 1.2 million.
After that.
"The next auction item, 'Nine-Leaf Dragon Saliva Grass'! Also for refining the gold breaking pill..."
"800,000!"
"The next item, 'Heaven Heart Stone'..."
"1,000,000!"
In the time that followed, Ye Feiyan once again displayed her terrifying financial resources!
Whenever a Spirit Medicine she needed appeared, she would act without hesitation, and every time, she would forcefully take it with an overwhelming posture that far exceeded the market price!
Her opulent behavior of throwing money around soon attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Hiss... Who on earth is that in VIP Room No. 3? Isn't this wealth a bit too terrifying?"
"I don't know. Listening to the voice, it sounds like a very young woman."
"Could it be a descendant of some Nascent Soul old monster who came out to gain experience?"
Just as everyone was speculating, a well-informed Cultivator lowered his voice and revealed the truth.
"Don't you guys know yet? That person is the Pavilion Master of the 'Feiyan Pavilion' who has become famous in our Three Seas City over the past month!"
"It is said that she is a genuine Second Grade Alchemist! The Medicinal Pill she refines not only far exceeds those of the same grade in quality, but there are even many ancient Pill Formula that have long been lost!"
"Nowadays, in the circles of high-level Cultivators in Three Seas City, it is already in short supply!"
Once these words were spoken, everyone suddenly realized.
No wonder!
No wonder this person would have such terrifying wealth!
It turned out to be a wealthy Alchemist Great Master!
