Xucheng Auction House is an enormous pyramid-shaped building, covering an area of a full five miles and towering over two hundred zhang high. It can be seen clearly from any angle in Xucheng, with an imposing grandeur far beyond comparison to other buildings in the city.
Standing in front of the auction house, Lin Feng and Tao Tao were both taken aback by the sight. Even though Lin Feng had traversed various cultivation realms, he had never seen such an awe-inspiring structure. He wondered how this pyramid-style architecture, characteristic of Earth, ended up here in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm.
Tao Tao was stunned by the auction house itself. She initially thought Xucheng’s auction was impressive, but now she realized the gap between Xucheng’s auction and this one. If this is only a Level Three city auction, she could hardly imagine the scale of those in Level Two, Level One cities, or even the Holy City!
Accompanied by Tao Tao, Lin Feng ascended the tall steps and entered the auction house, where soone imdiately ca forward to greet them.
"Are you here to auction or consign sothing?" A young man in a blue uniform approached Lin Feng and Tao Tao.
"We’re here to see soone. Is Elder Chu around?" Lin Feng responded with a smile.
"Elder Chu?" The young man looked puzzled before quickly recovering and asking, "There are two Elder Chus in this auction house, which one do you an?"
Hearing this, Lin Feng was montarily taken aback. He had always addressed Elder Chu as such and didn’t know his real na. After a brief contemplation, he said to the young man, "I’m looking for Elder Chu, who was transferred here from Ning City a year ago."
"Oh! You’re talking about Elder Chu Yunpeng!" Upon Lin Feng’s clarification, the young man finally understood and imdiately explained, "But Elder Chu seems busy recently and isn’t seeing visitors."
"No problem, we ca from Ning City specifically to see him. Just tell him that a Taoist friend with the surna Lin is here, and he’ll surely co out to et us!" Lin Feng smiled and instructed the young man.
"Alright, I’ll go and inform him." The young man assessed Lin Feng, just an old man of feeble strength, seemingly weaker than the girl next to him; could such a person be acquainted with Elder Chu? Regardless, he went on to inform Elder Chu, albeit with a slight disdain for Lin Feng, believing him to be from a small town and questioning what matter involved Elder Chu.
Lin Feng stayed with Tao Tao without leaving, waiting right where they were. Within re monts, Elder Chu Yunpeng’s hearty laughter reverberated from inside!
"Taoist Friend Lin, I’ve been waiting for you for a long ti!"
The voice echoed through the auction house, and soon Elder Chu Yunpeng and the young man erged. Without hesitation, Elder Chu Yunpeng approached Lin Feng as if greeting an old friend.
"Taoist Friend Lin, please co in. I have indeed been eagerly waiting for you. Soone has just brought in Shenyun Immortal Tea. Let’s savor it and catch up on old tis!" Elder Chu Yunpeng smiled warmly and courteously invited Lin Feng to enter for a detailed conversation.
"Well, then I’ll impose on Elder Chu." Lin Feng agreed with a smile, and led Tao Tao to follow Elder Chu inside...
"Who is this old man that Elder Chu treats so graciously, even offering Shenyun Immortal Tea for hospitality? This has never happened before!" The young man watched Elder Chu and Lin Feng enter the auction house, standing alone, unable to calm himself. Typically, Elder Chu, the second most prominent figure in the auction house, ignores approaches from many noble powerhouses in Xucheng. Yet today, he treated a seemingly ordinary old man with such warmth, what’s going on?
Moreover, the fact that Elder Chu plans to serve Shenyun Immortal Tea exacerbated the young man’s astonishnt. This tea is a prized treasure rarely tasted by the commoner, with only three people in the auction house receiving a few ounces yearly. Rumor has it that a single cup fetches ten thousand Yuan Stones, and even that remains inaccessible to most. How did this old man imdiately cause such a reception, this is unimaginable...
While the young man marveled at Lin Feng’s arrival, Lin Feng had already entered the auction house with Elder Chu, reaching Elder Chu’s private room.
The door was shut, and Elder Chu gazed at Lin Feng with an even deeper smile, saying, "Taoist Friend Lin’s disguise technique is truly comndable. If I hadn’t known it was you beforehand, I wouldn’t have recognized you."
With no one around, Lin Feng reverted to his original appearance, clasping his fists and smiling at Elder Chu: "It’s necessary, until my Yuangang is fully transford, I must remain low-key to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Indeed!" Elder Chu nodded in agreent while glancing at Tao Tao beside Lin Feng, asking, "Who’s this young girl?"
Lin Feng smiled at Tao Tao, who imdiately reverted to her true self. Her stunning appearance brightly caught Elder Chu’s eye; he hadn’t expected Tao Tao to be disguised too. Realizing the implications of Tao Tao’s appearance in Xucheng, he understood why she had to disguise herself.
At that mont, Lin Feng explained with a smile, "This is Tao Tao, the daughter of an old friend, entrusted to upon my friend’s passing for care."
Elder Chu was montarily dumbfounded, not expecting Tao Tao’s identity. Seeing her peerless beauty against Lin Feng’s distinguished deanor, Elder Chu’s eyes glead with a peculiar light, internally acknowledging the foresight in entrusting Tao Tao to Lin Feng—a match made in heaven, prompting even an outsider like him to inquire when the wedding banquet might be...
Tao Tao blushed at Elder Chu’s gaze, but Lin Feng remained composed, clarifying to Elder Chu: "Don’t misconstrue, Elder Chu. Tao Tao’s grandfather was an Ascender like , we imdiately hit it off. Before his demise, seeing no one to care for Tao Tao, he entrusted her to ."
Upon Lin Feng’s explanation, Elder Chu nodded, discerning that Lin Feng truly harbors no desires toward Tao Tao, increasingly impressed by Lin Feng’s integrity. Confronted by such ethereal beauty, Lin Feng maintained a tranquil heart, a resolve scarcely achieved by young n.
In this unconscious mont, Elder Chu scrutinized Lin Feng and Tao Tao earnestly, suddenly struck as if thunderstruck!
"Taoist Friend Lin, you... you’ve reached the Opening Epoch Realm Peak, with half of your Yuangang transford? Moreover... moreover, Tao Tao beside you has already achieved Divine Origin Realm Peak strength?" Elder Chu was indeed astonished. Typically, Ascenders require several centuries to transform Yuangang fully, yet Lin Feng managed it in just two years. This is far from ordinary ascension, it’s demonic genius. Should news of Lin Feng’s half Yuangang transformation in two short years spread, the entire Myriad Heavens Divine Realm might be thrown into frenzy!
Moreover, Tao Tao beside him wasn’t simple either, at barely twenty-nine years of age, she achieved Divine Origin Realm Peak—a cultivation speed unattainable even by sect geniuses. With no sect resources to aid her, Tao Tao’s cultivation talent is exceedingly terrifying. Few in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm can rival her; Lin Feng has truly stumbled upon a treasure!
"Yes, I’ve transford a small half, upon exiting seclusion, discovering you’ve arrived here, I sought you directly," Lin Feng confidently affird, freely conversing with Elder Chu, recognizing Elder Chu’s astuteness, assured that he wouldn’t act recklessly.
"My guess is that all those Yuan Stones have been burnt up, otherwise you wouldn’t have exited seclusion?" Elder Chu quipped at Lin Feng, recalling Lin Feng’s previous cultivation speed burning Yuan Stones, inducing Elder Chu to exclaim. Seeing Lin Feng’s half Yuangang transformation, Elder Chu grasped the significance, wondering how Lin Feng cultivated; the sheer volu of Yuan Stones over two years defies belief—no ordinary soul could endure such a thod.
"Indeed." Lin Feng admitted without concealnt, continuing to Elder Chu: "I presu Elder Chu has already prepared the alchemy prescriptions and spiritual dicine?"
"Hahahaha..." Elder Chu laughed heartily, saying to Lin Feng: "Of course, though let’s not rush, after so long, let us first catch up and savor this Shenyun Immortal Tea!"
With that, Elder Chu guided Lin Feng and Tao Tao to a stone table inside the room. As water boiled and tea steeped, the room suddenly brimd with wisps of mist, the aroma overwhelming the senses, instantly refreshing mind and spirit, eradicating exhaustion!
Moreover, a peculiar aura subtly drifted through, soothing and focusing the mind to an extraordinary extent. Just at brewing, Shenyun Immortal Tea’s wondrous power beca truly unimaginable...
