When the barrier was activated, it opened up more than ten exits, allowing nearly a thousand people inside to leave through different openings. There was a ten-second interval for passing through the barrier, which meant that the last person would not be able to identify the one before them.
Eager to return to the inn, Xu Feng took out the Wings of the Strange Dragon. The dark gray wings flowed with layers of spiritual energy, and the sharp spikes at the junction were incredibly sharp, comparable to a Low-Grade Spirit Tool.
Each wing extended three meters long, and with both wings spread out, there was barely enough room in the entire room. Xu Feng pressed his hands against the Wings of the Strange Dragon, and with a movement of his spiritual energy, the wings were absorbed into his body. In an instant, the Wings of the Strange Dragon were refined by Xu Feng's Five Elements Power.
It felt as if two invisible wings had appeared between his arms. With a slight flutter, a fierce wind surged around him, and he felt as if he could fly; his feet barely touched the ground as his whole body was lifted off the floor.
Xu Feng was ecstatic. With these wings, even if he couldn't fly in the air, at least in terms of speed, no one below the Golden Core stage could match him. For a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator to get close would be nothing short of a dream.
The Five Elements Wings seemed tailor-made for Xu Feng.
He did not participate in the second Jingcheng Auction House event. According to the auction list, there were still five major items left, but none of them were what Xu Feng desired. Moreover, he had already called out a bid of one million at the previous auction. Although he was masked for concealment, he still felt uneasy; what if he attracted unwanted attention through some means? That would be troublesome.
Xu Feng prepared to attend the upcoming Gathering of the Immortals auction. During early promotions, it was announced that there would be an Earth-Level Cultivation Method auctioned at Gathering of the Immortals, complete with Wood Element materials.
Having just acquired two sets of equipment, Xu Feng hurriedly experienced the feeling of control within his room. Time passed quickly.
The Gathering of the Immortals took place at the same venue as Jingcheng Auction. The staff from Jingcheng Auction had already withdrawn, and all personnel present were new. From observing the strength of the guarding cultivators, they were no less capable than those from Jingcheng Auction. The bidders also wore masks for anonymity.
The only downside was the host; although the sleazy man from Jingcheng Auction was somewhat despicable, he managed to maintain a decent atmosphere overall. In contrast, the host for Gathering of the Immortals was more straightforward—a serious-looking White-Haired Old Man in his fifties or sixties.
This old man’s name was Zhang Feng. His hosting style followed that of Zhao Zhongxiang; originally a appraiser, he was promoted by Gathering of the Immortals to establish a more authoritative and professional auction image.
Even the staff responsible for delivering items were all male cultivators—none were more handsome than Xu Feng...
The items auctioned at Gathering of the Immortals differed from those at Jingcheng Auction; while Jingcheng focused on weapons and armor, Gathering of the Immortals offered a more diverse range of cultivation supplies. It showcased various items in full bloom, with auxiliary items dominating this auction such as Martial Talismans, Cultivation Methods, elixirs, ores, and inner alchemy materials.
In contrast, spiritual swords and armor were limited to just a few items.
"Fellow cultivators, the so-called cultivation of immortality knows no day or night. Achieving the Great Dao is not a task of a single day. The five elements are based on humanity; nurturing the essence and cultivating the foundation is the highest principle..." This was the opening statement by the host, Zhang Feng.
The crowd of cultivators was stunned; they were here to buy things, not to listen to a lecture. However, some held a favorable view, believing this elder was upright and kind, a model for businesspeople. They felt reassured buying here, knowing that Zhang's introductions were considerate and thorough!
In fact, Zhang Feng's hosting style won the approval of the bidders. Under his detailed explanations, the cultivators eagerly placed bids, and nearly every item sold for a good price.
"This is a set of concealment and defensive formations, named 'Pillar of Stone.' It can be activated with a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage have no chance of breaking through it; even Golden Core Stage Cultivators cannot breach it in a short time." Zhang Feng pointed to a set of formation plates on the table. "The starting bid is three hundred thousand."
Xu Fengxin felt a stir within him. There were similar formations in "Formation Path," but their power was far inferior to that of 'Pillar of Stone.' Currently, Xu Feng spent most of his time cultivating at an inn, always anxious during critical moments, fearing someone might suddenly intrude. If he had this set of formations, it would make his training much more convenient.
In the wilderness outside the village, as long as he set up the formation, he could create his own domain and focus on cultivation.
"Four hundred thousand."
"Four hundred fifty thousand."
"Four hundred eighty thousand."
"Five hundred thousand."
Bids came in one after another, but they weren't increasing much. When it reached five hundred thousand, it paused.
"Five hundred fifty thousand," Xu Feng bid.
No one followed up with a counteroffer. To Xu Feng's surprise, he secured the formation for five hundred fifty thousand. Soon after, staff members invited Xu Feng to the backstage to complete the transaction.
Once back in the hall, Xu Feng chose a corner seat to avoid drawing attention.
Then, after taking pictures of more than a dozen items, the Cultivation Method was finally presented at noon.
"Five hundred years ago, the prestigious Qin Garden of Xian Dao vanished overnight. Some say they were exterminated, others claim they fell into internal strife and disbanded, while some fled to Zheguo. And I," Zhang Feng paused for a moment and said, "And I, that has nothing to do with me!"
The entire audience burst into laughter! No one expected this seemingly honest Zhang Feng to throw out such a line.
"This Intermediate mid-grade Five Elements Technique comes from Qin Garden. The starting bid is four hundred thousand."
Five hundred years ago, even Wuhua Island had to give way to it.
A complete set of Earth-Level Cultivation Method was only four hundred thousand, but the reality was not as optimistic as imagined; after waiting for five minutes, no one made a bid.
"Four hundred ten thousand." Finally, someone called out the first bid.
Still, no one followed up. As it seemed this Cultivation Method was about to be bought at the low price of four hundred ten thousand, Xu Feng couldn't sit still.
"One hundred fifty thousand." A weak voice rang out. Just as everyone was about to mock this voice, it added, "To buy one of the books."
Right! One hundred fifty thousand for one book; five books separately would be seventy-five thousand, which is much better than four hundred ten thousand. There’s no rule against partnering in an auction.
The host was momentarily stunned by this "wild approach," but the seasoned Zhang Feng quickly reacted and said, "That can work, but you must gather all five books; otherwise, the auction cannot proceed."
The audience immediately became chaotic. Most cultivators specialized in one element and considered spending four hundred thousand on five books a waste; no one wanted to spend that money. But with this new option available, it became worth considering.
"I bid one hundred eighty thousand for the Fire Element One Star."
"One hundred seventy thousand for the Water Element."
"190,000 Jinxi"
"160,000 Wood Element"
"180,000 Earth Attribute"
Soon, the crowd below became a cacophony, each person eager to obtain their desired Cultivation Method. In an instant, the complete set of Cultivation Methods turned into a single auction, where whoever offered the highest price would win.
"300,000 Water Attribute," Xu Feng declared, and no one dared to compete with him for the Water Element Technique. Securing the Water Element Technique at this price was truly an unexpected gain.
After a fierce competition, the other four attributes also found their owners. The total exceeded one million; Zhang Feng couldn't stop smiling, and the buyers were equally delighted. It was a mutually beneficial outcome that pleased everyone.
Having obtained the Water Element Technique, Xu Feng did not linger any longer and exited the Auction House early, returning to the inn.
Not long after Xu Feng left, another figure quietly slipped away. It was the cultivator who had just called out "410,000."
