That was a compass whose surface was covered with moss and rust, with its texts and patterns faded beyond recognition. Occasionally, faint glimrs flashed and vanished quickly, drawing attention and causing people to squint slightly.
This item indeed possesses extraordinary qualities.
"Cough, cough, cough… This object should be a Top Grade Supre Magic Artifact from five hundred years ago. However, after enduring so much passage of ti, it can no longer showcase its forr glory. According to our tests, the power retained by this compass is roughly equivalent to an ordinary Top Grade Magic Artifact. Therefore, the starting price is three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, open bidding. Cough cough cough…" Dharma King Li Chengkong coughed a few more tis and said.
Generally speaking, the market price of an ordinary Top Grade Magic Artifact typically exceeds three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones! The range varies greatly.
"Three thousand two hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones!"
"I bid three thousand five hundred!"
"Four thousand!"
...
Imdiately, many people began to bid rapidly.
Especially those masters at the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer were the most enthusiastic in their bidding.
After all, for them, being able to acquire a treasure whose power matches that of a Top Grade Magic Artifact would significantly boost their combat power! Who wouldn't be tempted?
In the end, this treasure was claid by a renowned powerful Loose Cultivator at a high price of five thousand seven hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones.
Chen Fei had little interest in this item, so he didn't compete. Next ca the third auction item, the fourth...
This kind of auction continued for about two or three hours until the atmosphere fully heated up, when Dharma King Li Chengkong suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, most of the items have already been auctioned. This is the second to last one."
With that, he made a gesture, and a small dark green grass, swaying in the breeze, with its roots wrapped in soil glimring with spiritual brilliance, appeared before everyone's eyes, shimring with radiance and the leaves exuding a faint fragrance.
"It's Xuann Yin Grass!" Lord Changhong's pupils suddenly shrank, and then a look of excitent erged in his eyes.
As long as he can obtain this Xuann Yin Grass, he can go back and ask a Fourth Grade Alchemist to refine the Yin Extinguishing Pill! By then, he would have the capital to strive for the Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm. How could he not be excited or tempted?
"Everyone, this Xuann Yin Grass is sothing I, Lord Changhong, am determined to obtain, so I request everyone to give this face. Otherwise..."
Then he opened his mouth unabashedly, letting everyone hear his words clearly. His tone carried blatant threats, very chilling.
Upon hearing this, many people's faces changed suddenly.
Because they knew very well that Lord Changhong was not joking about this.
Obtaining this Xuann Yin Grass concerns whether he can quickly advance to the Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm! Such matters, Lord Changhong would never joke with anyone!
Therefore, anyone daring to contend for this Xuann Yin Grass would likely truly beco an enemy of Lord Changhong!
Swish!
At this mont, a terrifying force of blood energy burst forth from Lord Changhong's body, incredibly astonishing, enveloping within a hundred ters radius of Azure Dragon Pavilion, flashing for an instant.
This made many people's eyes constrict, and subsequently, their gaze turned to Lord Changhong with a cold, fierce expression on his face!
This guy is genuinely determined to get that Xuann Yin Grass!
He's even employing such blatant thods of warning and threatening everyone present.
However, Lord Changhong's talent and strength are indeed formidable, considered outstanding, and coupled with the background of being backed by the Pei Family of Ghost Wolf City, even daring to defy elders like Pei Xuandong, no wonder he possesses such domineering capital!
Even ordinary Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm Experts would give him so leeway, such as Sima Kun, which is a typical example.
After Lord Changhong's unveiled threat tactic, sure enough, the area around Azure Dragon Pavilion quieted down.
Many people, despite desiring to compete for this extrely rare herb, the Xuann Yin Grass, were restricted by Lord Changhong's threats, not daring to act recklessly.
"Can the auction start?"
At this mont, a soft voice sounded, breaking the peace.
This voice clearly ca from a position very 'familiar' to everyone. Upon hearing it, everyone's eyes constricted, including Lord Changhong.
"Hmm?" Lord Changhong's eyes revealed a sinister, fierce expression, looking toward Chen Fei's direction, murderously saying: "Are you truly seeking death?"
Chen Fei didn't even bother to respond to him, looking at Li Chengkong, he continued to ask: "Senior, can the auction start?"
"You!" Once again, Lord Changhong was ignored and neglected by Chen Fei, feeling humiliated, his complexion taut and twisted in rage, emitting an incredibly chilling aura, a strong surge of energy targeting Chen Fei's direction.
"Bang!"
"I will say this one last ti, anyone wishing to court death, I, Li Chengkong, will not show rcy unless you are stronger than !" An icy blue aura burst forth, harshly striking Lord Changhong without hesitation.
Dharma King Li Chengkong, expressionless, coldly said.
"I… spat!" Lord Changhong suffered such a heavy blow, his blood surging chaotically, his face contorted, yet dared not act rashly.
Because he could tell that Li Chengkong's words were not a joke.
Others might fear Lord Changhong, but Li Chengkong is not necessarily afraid! What would a dying person fear?
"A rare Xuann Yin Grass aged seven hundred years, a crucial ingredient in refining Yin Extinguishing Pills. Now, the starting bid is three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones. Feel free to bid!" Following this, Dharma King Li Chengkong slowly began to speak.
Starting bid of three thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones? Upon hearing this, many people's eyes narrowed.
It's not too cheap; it's too expensive. This is outright daylight robbery.
"Three thousand!" Lord Changhong stared intently at Chen Fei, and shouted out the first bid.
If Chen Fei truly dared to compete with him for this item, it would an forming a vendetta against Lord Changhong!
A mortal vendetta!
"Five thousand." However, Chen Fei completely ignored his fierce, threatening gaze and casually said, as if he were just calling out a Low Grade Spirit Stone Fragnt.
Hiss! Many couldn't help but tremble internally when they heard this, surprised that Chen Fei was serious about competing with Lord Changhong!
Moreover, his first bid was astronomical!
This is an Alchemist, truly wealthy, seemingly without regard for Spirit Stones...
The crowd's hearts trembled slightly, Young Master Dao, so wealthy, the price is already very high.
"You're good, very good..." As expected, upon hearing this high bid of five thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, Lord Changhong's expression turned completely dark, fierce, and filled with murderous intent.
However, upon hearing this, Chen Fei finally glanced at him but still shook his head indifferently, saying: "Are you still bidding or not?"
With these words, Lord Changhong's expression instantly froze, twisted and flushed.
Not only him, but everyone else present also suddenly held their breath in shock; Chen Fei not only called out a bid of five thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones but now even mocked Lord Changhong?
"Is that guy genuinely bidding or just ranting because of past conflicts with Lord Changhong?"
"Regardless of the reason, it's clear now... I feel he's going to face a big misfortune. Wealthy? What good is money when Lord Changhong is truly a heartless character!"
"Sigh, he is still too young and impulsive. In this Azure Dragon Ravine, once outside, it's just wilderness, wild mountains; making soone disappear without a trace is not difficult."
"Yes, wealth doesn't equate to strength. He doesn't seem to have many people around him either?"
...
Many harbored such thoughts in their hearts, even experiencing a twisted sense of pleasure.
With insidious, contemptuous, mocking laughter...
The Spirit Stones they earned painstakingly were but trifles in Chen Fei's hands, showing no sign of saving or frugality, which directly led to their intense imbalance and twisted resentnt.
And now, watching Chen Fei foolishly making an enemy of Lord Changhong, naturally, they felt a sinister thrill.
Glad to see a wealthy person like Chen Fei seeking their own downfall! Simply put, it's about imbalance and hatred towards wealth.
The Third Elder of the Pei Family, Pei Xuandong, heard this and hesitated, not expecting that, apart from the Giant Void Sect, there would indeed be soone daring to challenge the Pei Family, to go against their outstanding disciple.
Thinking this, Pei Xuandong's mouth ford a faint cruel curve.
"These self-important Alchemists never seem to use their brains... Hehe, since that's the case, if he wishes to die, we'll fulfill that wish once this auction is over!"
Compared to Lord Changhong, he didn't even want to bother about whether this is Azure Dragon Ravine or if it's permissible to kill; he simply wanted to act directly.
But one must admit, as the Third Elder of the Pei Family and an expert in the First Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishnt True Person Realm, Pei Xuandong indeed has the qualification to be so domineering! Isn't that so?
"Changhong, let him have it. Ultimately, it'll be ours anyway." Then, he said indifferently.
"I can't afford to lose face like this! After all, once he's dead, his Spirit Stones and treasures will be ours, it makes little difference. Furthermore, concerning the Xuann Yin Grass, I can't allow any possibility of accidents."
But Lord Changhong, his face fierce, shook his head and continued bidding: "I bid six thousand!"
"Seven thousand!"
However, before he finished speaking, Chen Fei already opened his mouth to bid again.
What's exasperating is, Chen Fei's bid was extrely steady, extrely calm, without any ripples, as if not considering Lord Changhong, Pei Xuandong, or their side at all.
Instantly, Pei Xuandong's eyes narrowed as he murmured sinisterly: "This kid seems to be a bit too self-righteous, hmm..."
This light laughter fell into the ears of Sima Kun, who remained silent at the side, causing a faint cold smile of a successful sche to appear on his lips.
With the Pei Family taking action against that little brat, what does he need to worry about? He only needs to enjoy the show.
"I bid eight thousand!" Lord Changhong exclaid once more, bidding eight thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones—a sky-high price!
"Nine thousand." Chen Fei responded unhesitatingly, calmly continuing to bid, causing everyone present to tremble within, feeling envy, jealousy, and hatred!
This is what an Alchemist is! Truly wealthy, completely disregarding Spirit Stones.
