Star Dragon God
The young man in a white robe approaching them was the Xuan Yuan Young Master. He came before Huo Feng and the others, warmly saying, "Please come inside; my father is waiting for you."
He then led Huo Feng and the other three into the inner hall.
On the way, the Xuan Yuan Young Master looked at Huo Feng and said, "Brother Huo Feng, I truly admire you. I never expected that such a large Martial Hall could be brought to an end by just one person."
"Xuan Yuan Young Master is too kind; it was merely luck. Now I have paid the price of blindness for that," Huo Feng replied with a smile.
"Brother Huo Feng, at such a young age, you have stopped a nation's transformation. I genuinely respect that. From now on, anything we acquire at the Lanxuan Auction House that could help with eyesight will be reserved for you," the Xuan Yuan Young Master said, patting his chest.
The Xuan Yuan Young Master's enthusiasm left Huo Feng somewhat at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond. The others also seemed unaccustomed to such conversations and remained silent.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at the entrance of the inner hall, where the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master and his wife were waiting for them.
The Xuan Yuan Young Master stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Father, Mother, they have arrived."
The Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master nodded and warmly addressed Huo Feng and the others, "Please come inside."
Upon entering the inner hall, the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master gestured for them to sit down while he and his wife took their seats at the head of the table.
"Serve tea," the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master commanded. He then whispered something to his wife, who smiled and nodded at Huo Feng and the others before walking outside.
At this moment, the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master began to chat with Huo Feng and the others.
Before long, Xuanyuan Lady returned. She approached the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master and handed him a ring.
The Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master took the ring and then stood up with his wife to join Huo Feng and the others. He said, "This Narcissistic Ring contains one Earth Vein Realm Combat Technique that I promised earlier and one hundred One Million Spirit Coins."
With that, the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master handed over the Narcissistic Ring. Since Huo Feng could not see it, Nangong Yu took the Narcissistic Ring and thanked the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master on their behalf.
"It should be us thanking you; compared to my son, this is nothing," Xuanyuan Lady finally spoke up after remaining silent.
"Since that's the case, we won't be polite. We'll head back to rest for now and go to the Lanxuan Auction House in the evening."
Huo Feng felt a bit overwhelmed by their business-like manner and just wanted to leave quickly, so he said this.
"Please don't rush, if you don't mind, stay for a meal at my place, and then we can go together in the evening."
Before they could respond, Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master turned to the butler and said, "Go arrange for them to rest in the guest room."
Then he addressed Huo Feng and the others, "Since you don't mind, please follow the butler to rest. I'll have you called when it's time for dinner."
Huo Feng and the others had no choice but to comply, as they were given no opportunity to decline. They could only smile and say, "Thank you for your hospitality, Master."
So the four of them followed the butler to the guest room.
In the inner hall, Xuanyuan Lady asked in confusion, "Why are we being so nice to these kids?"
"That's a woman's perspective; what's wrong with them? The one with his eyes covered single-handedly thwarted Martial Hall's ambitions and possesses incredible strength. The others are also remarkable; Southern Mansion has now replaced Martial Hall's position," Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master replied. At this moment, Xuanyuan Lady finally understood and nodded.
After a while, the butler brought Huo Feng and the others to the guest room. He said, "You can rest here; if you need anything, just call out. There are maids outside."
Nangong Yu said, "Alright! Thank you; you can go about your business now; we can manage ourselves."
Once the butler left, Xuanran and Nangong Yu rushed into the room eagerly. Huo Feng and Ruo Xi followed them inside. Nangong Yu took out the Narcissistic Ring and then pulled out a Jade Tablet from it.
Seeing the Jade Tablet, everyone except Ruo Xi became excited.
"Yuer, quickly open it and see what Combat Techniques are inside," Xuanran urged impatiently. It's known that in Azure Wave Kingdom, only the royal palace and a few prominent families have access to Combat Techniques.
At this moment, Nangong Yu carefully opened the Jade Tablet, and both of them were stunned. The Jade Tablet was completely blank.
Xuanran looked bewildered and said, "Why is there nothing on it?"
Ruo Xi stepped forward and took a look; it was indeed blank. She then tried to inject Origin Force into the Jade Tablet, and gradually, words began to appear on its surface.
"Punishment"
Intermediate Combat Techniques of the Earth Vein Realm, growth-type.
It sets up an invisible circular magic circle with a diameter of two meters on the ground. When an enemy steps into the magic circle, it will be triggered. The person who triggers it will be unable to move inside until the Origin Force giant sword above the magic circle strikes down.
Practicing this Combat Technique requires strong communication skills with nature to gather the Origin Force and form the giant sword. When mastered, the Origin Force giant sword can reach a height of two meters and a width of half a meter.
Huo Feng and the others were astonished; it was their first time seeing such Combat Techniques, especially one that worked in conjunction with a magic circle to manipulate the Origin Force in the earth.
"Alas! It's a pity that both of us are only at the Eighth Level of Human Pulse Realm. Huo Feng is too monstrous; he has reached Earth Vein Realm Level Two in such a short time," Xuanran said helplessly.
"Yeah, since Huo Feng has reached the Earth Vein Realm, why don't you practice this Combat Technique and let us see how effective it is?" Nangong Yu said curiously, eagerly anticipating this Combat Technique.
"Sure! Once I master it, I'll definitely show you. At that time, this Jade Tablet will be left for you Southern Mansion. After all, you have just become guardians of the palace's outer perimeter and will likely need it," Huo Feng said with a smile as he took the Jade Tablet.
"Hehe, thank you so much! Let's just spend this money at the Auction House tonight," Nangong Yu suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Huo Feng was quite shocked; one hundred One Million Spirit Coins! He knew that his family's entire fortune was not even close to one million. An ordinary family in Nottingham City could only earn two to three thousand Symbol Coins in a year. He never expected he would soon be able to spend one million—though not by himself, just thinking about it was exciting enough.
That night, after having dinner with Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master, Huo Feng and his companions headed towards Lanxuan Auction House.
The Lanxuan Auction House was located beside Lan Pavilion; in fact, they were part of the same entity but covered an area of tens of thousands of square meters.
Since it was nearby, they arrived quickly. At that moment, they saw a three-meter-high gate with a plaque hanging above it that read "Lanxuan Auction House" in large golden letters.
At the entrance stood two imposing guards; Huo Feng could sense that these two had strength at the first level of Earth Vein Realm.
Anyone entering through the gate had to show them a golden ticket.
At this moment, the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master and the Young Master entered with Huo Feng.
The others were astonished by this scene and began to gossip.
"Who are these kids?"
"Right? They actually received such treatment, no invitation needed, and the Xuan Yuan Pavilion Master personally brought them in."
"I think they are all under twenty."
"Don't you know? The one with the blindfold is the one who defeated the Martial Hall Master, and the Xuan Yuan Young Master was rescued from the Shadow Demon Lord by him."
"So it's him. I think I've heard of him; his name is Huo Feng."
After an hour passed, the doors of the Lanxuan Auction House creaked shut. However, the entire auction house remained bright and filled with various noisy sounds. Huo Feng and his companions were arranged in a VIP room.
At that moment, a sweet and enticing voice rang out: "Welcome everyone to the Lanxuan Auction House. I am your host for today, Xiao Die."
