In comparison, a spot in the lee Battle et seems trivial and insufficient to make up for Lu Ye's loss.
Chu Shen, eager to befriend Fa Wuzun, naturally wanted to find so way to compensate him. In any case, Jiu Yan would help handle the matters that he promised.
"We'll talk later," Lu Ye didn't refuse, because he felt that he might indeed need Chu Shen's help with so minor matters.
He looked up at the crowd behind Chu Shen. At this mont, a group of people was standing behind Chu Shen, all of whom no doubt ca here after receiving the news. They were all eagerly watching him, and more people were on their way.
"Do you all have sothing to discuss?" Lu Ye asked.
His question imdiately caused chaos; the crowd began to exchange pleasantries and greetings, calling him Fellow Daoist Fa. One person ntioned a business deal they wanted to discuss with Lu Ye, another had so questions for him, and yet others outright attempted to recruit him, generously stating he could na his conditions, demonstrating an earnest and eager attitude.
Lu Ye raised his hand to stop them, "One at a ti."
The crowd looked at each other, unwilling to easily give way, making the scene even more chaotic.
Lu Ye glanced at the oldest elder present: "You speak first, everyone else be quiet!"
The elder, surprised by the preferential treatnt, was delighted and began, "Fellow Daoist Fa, there are many people here. Could we find a quieter place? I have so matters..."
"Speak here," Lu Ye interrupted, roughly understanding what this person intended.
The elder looked troubled but seeing Fa Wuzun's firm stance, knew there was no room for insistence. Since everyone's intentions were as obvious as lice on a bald head, whether it was in private or not didn't make much difference, so he began, "I wanted to ask if the array disc you just gave isn't a unique one, is it?"
The reasoning for such an assumption was that the array disc seed ordinary and unremarkable upon first glance, not like anything valuable. Moreover, Lu Ye had given it to Chu Shen without hesitation. If it were truly unique, no one would so readily part with it.
"Of course not," Lu Ye nodded.
The elder's face lit up, and the cultivators who ca specifically for the array disc showed similar expressions of joy. If it was unique, they would need to find a way to get it from Chu Shen. However, Chu Shen, being special and connected to the Cheling World, was a local cultivator of the All Phenona Star System, making him difficult to deal with.
"How many are there?" the elder pursued.
The crowd perked up, eager for an answer, but Lu Ye had no intention of responding, just quietly stared at the elder.
The elder slightly smiled, "Fellow Daoist Fa, there's no need to be concerned. I am a manager from the Chaoyuan rchants Guild. The reason for my inquiry is I want to purchase an array disc from you, and as for the price... we can negotiate!"
The All Phenona Star System isn't just ho to the All Phenona rchants Guild, but it undoubtedly holds the greatest reputation since it is a local guild, holding the largest advantage.
However, besides the All Phenona rchants Guild, many powerful star systems have their rchants guilds here. The Chaoyuan rchants Guild should be one such enterprise under the Chaoyuan Galaxy, using the entire star system as backing and support, conducting trades with other star systems or cultivators.
Many star systems have their specialties, so even if they are not as monuntal or powerful as the All Phenona rchants Guild, they possess their unique competitive edge.
As soon as the elder finished, soone else chid in, "Our Frost Wolf rchants Guild is also interested in purchasing an array disc from you, Fellow Daoist."
"And the sa goes for our Yaotian rchants Guild!"
...
The scene turned chaotic once more.
After the crowd's voices cald and their requests were voiced, Lu Ye nodded slightly and glanced around, "It seems everyone is interested in purchasing the array disc." He displayed a contemplative expression, "In that case, since all of you are inclined, let's hold an auction."
The heads of the various rchants guilds furrowed their brows upon hearing this; it was undoubtedly what they least wished to see. However, Fa Wuzun wasn't foolish; naturally, he understood the principle of creating value out of rarity. With so many of them coming to purchase the array disc, Fa Wuzun was clearly aiming to maximize his interests, and an auction was the best way!
Sighing inwardly, knowing they couldn't be stopped, the elder from the Chaoyuan rchants Guild asked, "I wonder when Fellow Daoist Fa plans to hold this auction and where?"
"Here in the Constellation Palace," Lu Ye replied, "in Grand Hall 88, as it's spacious. As for the ti, three days from now!"
"Three days!" A group of people were taken aback at these words. Soone said, "Fellow Daoist Fa, isn't this tiline a bit too tight?" It was undoubtedly those with insufficient strength, fearing they wouldn't be able to gather enough spirit jade for the auction in just three days.
So wanted to persuade Lu Ye, but he ignored them and vanished in a flicker, moving on to other grand halls.
Left behind, a group of people frowned tightly. Quickly, ssages began to spread. Although it was unknown how much spirit jade the auction for the array disc would require, now was naturally the ti to gather as much as possible. The distance from All Phenona Ocean was too far, making it impossible to transport more spirit jade within three days, leaving them with no choice but to find other ans.
Almost every Star System rchant guild was determined to obtain the array disc, as the leaders of these guilds had personally witnessed the terrifying effects of the array disc at the lee Battle et. It could be said to be a revolutionary treasure, sothing never seen before. If it could be deciphered and mass-produced, it would surely have a trendous impact on the entire cultivation world!
So tried unconventional approaches, attempting to get close to Chu Shen, but how could Chu Shen pay them any attention? Not long after Lu Ye disappeared, Chu Shen vanished as well.
In another grand hall, Lu Ye and Chu Shen regrouped. Lu Ye set up a Formation to conceal their presence, avoiding further interruptions, and gave Chu Shen so instructions, to which Chu Shen continuously nodded.
He had previously said that Lu Ye could ask for anything he wanted, and he wouldn't refuse as long as it was within his capability to provide. The current request from Lu Ye was not a big deal, and he readily agreed.
He even felt a bit of anticipation, as he vaguely realized that he might be about to participate in an event that could go down in history!
While the two were discussing this, news spread quickly that Fa Wuzun would hold an auction in three days at Grand Hall 88, where the mystical array disc would be auctioned off.
An ancient intrigue!
Cultivators were no strangers to auctions. rchant guilds with sufficient power often held auctions large and small. Generally, so rare and sought-after items would appear at auctions, attracting pursuit and fetching good prices.
But auctions have always been held by rchant guilds as the main entities. An auction held by an individual was unheard of before because a lone person simply didn't have the resources or enough treasures to conduct an auction. Attempting such a thing would only be a joke. But if the auction was to be held by Fa Wuzun, then it seed only natural.
The auction item was indeed just one miraculous array disc, but that didn't deter the many eager contenders, all rchant guilds from various star systems. These guilds were well known for their formidable strength in the cultivation community, so it was foreseeable that this auction would likely be a fierce battle, with major guilds tearing each other apart.
Grand Hall 88 was special already because it could gather more people than the other halls and had always been used specifically for buying and selling. This ti, it was pushed directly to the forefront of attention. When the news spread, countless people rushed to Grand Hall 88, most just going to watch the excitent. Missing such a spectacle would be too unfortunate.
So rchant guild leaders arrived early to stake out a place to avoid embarrassnt if they couldn't get in due to crowding later. Though such a situation had never happened before, even in its most lively tis, Grand Hall 88 had its limits. No one could predict how lively it would get this ti.
It's possible that there really would be a situation where the venue was overcrowded, making entry impossible.
For a ti, the already bustling Grand Hall 88 beca even more extraordinarily lively.
This was the situation inside the Constellation Palace, while outside, various forces were trying all sorts of ways to investigate Fa Wuzun's background!
The uncertainties surrounding the auction of the array disc were too great. No rchant guild could guarantee that they could secure it. But if they could learn about Fa Wuzun's background and leverage that information, then all problems could be easily solved.
The only lead currently confird is that Fa Wuzun is not his real na.
This is because the cultivators from the various star systems had never heard of this na before the opening of the Constellation Palace.
With such cultivation and power, no matter his origin, he would have long since made a na for himself. Yet, before the opening of the Constellation Palace, no one knew of Fa Wuzun.
From this inference, he likely wasn't born from any top-tier domain or a powerful star system. If he had an illustrious origin and a strong backing, he would surely not conceal his identity. Those who manage to leave their na on the Cumulated Points Ranking do so not only for personal fa but also to bring glory to their domains and star systems. Why hide? Those who conceal their identities in the Constellation Palace are mostly from humble backgrounds without powerful backing.
Trying to investigate a cultivator's background by just a pseudonym is undoubtedly very difficult, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. But given the circumstances, all the forces had no choice but to press on despite the challenges.
No one could have predicted that a small Constellation Mid-Stage individual would have such power to stir the winds and clouds of the All Phenona Galaxy. Even when Green Demon King Ma Bin caused havoc in the All Phenona Ocean last ti, the resulting commotion quickly cald down.
Such a ridiculous occurrence had never happened before in the All Phenona Galaxy.
The comings and goings in this vast expanse are countless—newly ascended, fallen in battle, passing by—it's hard to calculate. What ripple could a single Constellation create in such an environnt?
Yet, there indeed was such a Constellation who, due to a single lee Battle et, entered the view of various forces, making countless strong figures preoccupied with concern!
