Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 411 411: Entering the Auction Venue

Ye Tian took out the Lotus Seed and handed it directly to the middle-aged man, his expression completely natural, showing not the slightest hint of reluctance.

"You are very generous, young man. To give away such a precious item so readily shows that you're a good person! How about this? I'll arrange a special room for you and your friends so you can enjoy the entire auction," said the middle-aged man.

"You're too kind, Association Leader," Ye Tian replied. "The Lotus Seed is valuable, but its true worth can only be shown at auction. I was wondering, what are the other finale items this ti? Could you perhaps give a little hint?"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brow slightly. The finale items were a secret, of course. They would be ntioned during the auction itself, but now really wasn't the ti.

But since Ye Tian had asked, the middle-aged man found it hard to refuse. After all, Ye Tian had given him a Lotus Seed—a huge favor that he felt obligated to acknowledge.

"There are many items in this auction, and quite a few for the finale," the middle-aged man said, looking at Ye Tian. "Sixth Grade Elixirs, a Ten-Thousand-Year Ganoderma, and even Elental Pearls of several different Elents will be making an appearance. The competition will be incredibly fierce. Don't tell you intend to compete for the finale items as well?"

Ye Tian had no interest whatsoever in the Elixirs or the Ten-Thousand-Year Ganoderma. 'I have far more precious things in my Storage Ring.' However, he was keen on getting his hands on the Elental Pearls. He just wondered which Elents they were.

"I'm rather interested in the Elental Pearls," Ye Tian said with a smile. "But I'm sure many people will be vying for them. I won't participate if it's beyond my ans. A man has to know his limits, after all!"

Zhang Xinlan stood to the side, silent. 'I don't know why Ye Tian cares so much about the Elental Pearls, but it must be crucial for increasing his power. His mastery of the Elents is terrifying.' She knew this from personal experience.

"That's an excellent mindset to have," the middle-aged man said. "Elder Liu, arrange for our young friend to stay in VIP Room Three! See to all the arrangents and make sure our distinguished guests are not neglected."

Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan were both perceptive. They understood that the Association Leader's words were a polite dismissal. With the auction imminent, he surely had many things to attend to, which was perfectly understandable.

"Then we'll take our leave," said Ye Tian. "We may have to bother you again if we have any more questions, Association Leader."

The middle-aged man nodded and smiled. "Not a problem! Things are truly hectic these next few days, so please don't take it personally, young man. After the auction, we must have a good, long drink together."

Ye Tian and Zhang Xinlan didn't linger, leaving with Zhou Hongtao. The eting with the Association Leader had been quite fruitful; at the very least, Ye Tian now knew that Elental Pearls were up for auction.

As VIPs, they were naturally provided accommodation by the auction house. The trio was led to three elegant private courtyards. They chatted for a while before each retired to their own room.

Back in his room, Ye Tian sat directly on the bed. 'I must get my hands on the Elental Pearls in this auction.' Only he truly knew how important they were to him.

But he didn't dwell on it. 'I just learned to fly by borrowing the Power of Heaven and Earth; I need to consolidate that skill. Using Immortal Power is indeed imnsely more potent than using Spiritual Power. The fact that I surpassed Zhang Xinlan on my very first flight is proof enough.'

'For now, the only thing I want to practice is the Chaos Thunder Strike. I'm not yet qualified for the Divine Cultivation Technique I found in that secret chamber. If I have ti, I should just focus on understanding its first part.'

The night passed quickly for Ye Tian. The next day was, of course, the day of the auction. The trio washed up and left their rooms early in the morning.

"Distinguished guests, please follow ." Not long after the three of them had gathered, a beautiful young woman appeared before them.

The woman was obviously there to guide them to the auction. "Lead the way, then," Ye Tian said coolly.

The trio followed the woman into a vast hall. The hall was deserted and completely empty, save for a single, round stone resting in its very center.

Ye Tian didn't recognize the round stone. The only thing he could sense was a faint fluctuation of Energy emanating from it. 'Still,' he thought, 'this stone must be extraordinary, or it wouldn't be placed here in the center of the great hall.'

"A Prival Stone? To think there's one this large here... It's quite astonishing!" Zhang Xinlan exclaid.

"A Prival Stone?" Ye Tian couldn't help but ask. "Xinlan, what's a Prival Stone?" Zhou Hongtao looked at Zhang Xinlan with an equally clueless expression.

"A Prival Stone is a magical type of rock. You could also call it a Boundary Stone," Zhang Xinlan explained. "It contains a vast space inside, much like a Storage Ring, only it takes the form of a stone!"

Ye Tian didn't fully grasp it, but he understood that the space inside the stone was imnse. 'The woman brought us here,' he mused. 'Perhaps the auction itself is held inside this Prival Stone.'

But there was one thing he didn't understand. 'The auction will have tens of thousands of attendees, maybe more. It's impossible for every single person to co to this hall to enter. And this place was empty when we arrived.'

"Distinguished guests," the woman said, "the space within this Prival Stone is the venue for the auction. The Linxiao City auction house has three such stones in total, and their internal spaces are all interconnected. Due to the sheer number of attendees, as VIPs, you naturally won't enter the Prival Stone alongside everyone else."

"Entering the space within is simple: you just need to infuse it with your Spiritual Power. Your room is VIP Room Three. Once you are inside the Prival Stone, soone will be there to guide you!" the woman explained.

With that explanation, the trio understood. The reason no one else was here was because their VIP status afforded them special privileges. If they had to queue outside, they would have had to wait for a very long ti.

"Let's go in, then," Ye Tian said. He walked up to the Prival Stone and channeled a stream of Immortal Power into it. Ye Tian felt a powerful pulling force, and then he vanished from the spot.

Zhang Xinlan and Zhou Hongtao followed him in. Once inside, they found themselves in a circular structure, even larger than a Martial Arts Training Ground. They couldn't imagine how such a place was constructed; it was truly a work of divine craftsmanship.

"Distinguished guests, may I ask your room number?" another beautiful woman asked as she approached the trio.

"Three," Ye Tian answered simply, his gaze already scanning the layout of the auction hall.

The auction hall was already teeming with people, but they were all on the levels below. The trio had appeared on an upper floor. The venue had three stories in total, and they were on the highest one. Their arrival went completely unnoticed, which must have been part of the arrangents for privacy.
