After walking through several streets and turning a corner, Fang Chen's vision suddenly opened up. Ahead of him stood an enormous hall, radiating a majestic aura, with light flowing throughout, giving it an extraordinary presence.
Outside the hall, a vast crowd surged in. Although Fang Chen had anticipated such a scale of attendance, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The more people there were, the more intense the competition at the auction would naturally become. Although he only needed to purchase an Evil Mist Grass, which was rare but not particularly precious, with so many people around, who knew if someone else was also specifically coming for the Evil Mist Grass?
Feeling a tightening in his chest, Fang Chen no longer hesitated and walked into the grandest hall within the Grand Mall alongside Xia Lingyue. Upon entering, the sense of crowding that had surrounded him vanished instantly.
Inside the hall, it was exceptionally bright, with the floor made of dazzling crystal. Despite the sea of people gathered here, it did not feel crowded at all; instead, it was remarkably spacious.
"So many crystals," Xia Lingyue exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she gazed at the abundance of crystals, momentarily unable to move.
Seeing Xia Lingyue's expression of fascination, Fang Chen shook his head helplessly and thought to himself: Women truly are beings that cannot be measured by ordinary standards. This was originally such a stubborn and calm little girl.
While Xia Lingyue was fixated on the crystals scattered across the floor, Fang Chen was surveying the Auction House with a glint in his eyes.
Although he had visited Haoyuan Auction House in his previous life, he still felt a sense of awe upon entering. There was also a deep-seated apprehension within him.
Ordinary martial artists might not notice it, but as someone who had been a powerful figure in the Heavenly Realm in his past life, how could he fail to perceive that the Haoyuan Auction House had indeed utilized spatial power?
Time is divine; space is king.
This means that time is a domain only gods can touch upon, while space reigns supreme beyond time.
These eight words may seem ethereal and abstract, but they are not mere fabrications. In the journey of martial arts, only supreme beings at the level of Venerable can wield spatial power! Even those from the Heavenly Realm find it difficult to access.
Behind Haoyuan Auction House stands an unparalleled Venerable expert! This is also why Haoyuan Auction House has endured for so long without any reports of Heavenly Realm experts causing trouble inside. With this pervasive deterrent of spatial power, which Heavenly Realm martial artist would dare to act recklessly? It is known that while the Heavenly Realm is powerful, it remains extremely vulnerable when faced with supreme figures at the Venerable level.
After reflecting on this once more, Fang Chen pulled Xia Lingyue—who was still mesmerized by the crystals—over to a nearby counter. He tossed twenty Low-Grade Spirit Stones onto the counter and received two tickets for participating in the auction before leading Xia Lingyue through the hall.
Beyond the hall lay an arena-like venue that was massive enough to accommodate nearly ten thousand people. It was already filled with heads; the atmosphere reached an incredibly terrifying level compared to ordinary auctions—it was like heaven and earth apart!
Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue casually chose a seat near the front.
At that moment, Fang Chen slightly tilted his head and looked towards a nearby entrance. Several figures were slowly approaching.
As those figures walked in, Fang Chen could clearly feel many gazes around him turning in their direction, their eyes filled with a hint of heat.
Fang Chen also looked up and saw four women dressed in fox fur, their figures exceptionally alluring and voluptuous. The four women were dressed identically, appearing together in a way that was quite striking. Interestingly, despite their fiery appearances, their fair oval faces were cold as ice, giving off an air of "no entry."
The extreme contrast of ice and fire played out on them, adding an extra layer of temptation that made many people in the Auction House breathe a little faster.
Behind these four women followed an ordinary-looking Old Woman. Her steps always kept her just a step behind the four women, and occasionally her gaze would lift, revealing a piercing brilliance that sent shivers down one's spine.
Fang Chen looked at the unremarkable Old Woman but felt a slight tremor in his heart because he sensed an oppressive aura from her. This seemingly ordinary Old Woman possessed formidable strength, likely at least at the level of Alchemy Realm.
"What beautiful sisters," Xia Lingyue murmured to herself. Clearly, the beauty of the four women had reached a level that captivated both men and women alike.
To be honest, Xia Lingyue was already a rare beauty herself. However, due to her age, she was still merely a budding beauty and had not fully developed yet. Therefore, she was far less eye-catching than the paradoxical allure of the four women.
"People from Charming Immortal Sect," Fang Chen thought as he recalled the discussions around him about this entirely female sect.
"I didn't expect the members of Charming Immortal Sect to come. The reputation of Haoyuan Auction House is indeed impressive," Fang Chen murmured.
Charming Immortal Sect was not located close to Grand Mall, and the fact that this sect composed entirely of beautiful women could survive without being wiped out spoke volumes about its strength.
It should be noted that a sect made up of so many Beautiful Girls was quite tempting to many evil cultivators. At least within Great Zhao Kingdom, the girls from Charming Immortal Sect were definitely the top choice for most male warriors seeking dual cultivation partners.
However, given the formidable strength of Charming Immortal Sect and its leader being a late-stage Primordial Embryo Realm expert—rumored to be a dual cultivation partner from some Heavenly Realm—no one dared to provoke them. Moreover, the girls from Charming Immortal Sect had high standards and rarely engaged in dual cultivation with others. Thus, few had tasted the flavor of ice and fire.
While Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue were observing, it seemed that the Old Woman behind the four women sensed something as well. She lifted her head and glanced in Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue's direction before her gaze paused on Xia Lingyue, causing her steps to momentarily falter.
Her subtle movements were still noticed by the four enchanting women, who turned their cold gazes toward the direction of Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue.
As Fang Chen met those pairs of cold eyes, his heart began to race unexpectedly, and even the flow of blood within him quickened. However, he soon sensed something was off; his gaze sharpened, and the Vital Energy within him surged, suppressing that strange feeling completely.
"Wake up!" Fang Chen focused his energy into a booming voice that resonated in the ears of the dazed Xia Lingyue, causing her body to tremble suddenly and break free from the enchanting gaze.
Dressed alluringly with a fiery figure and a cold demeanor, she walked a unique path of seduction. The combination of ice and fire made it even harder to resist, affecting even those of the same gender.
"Eh?"
Among the four, the leader, a Fox-Fur Woman, let out a soft exclamation but did not make any further moves. She merely smiled slightly at Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue, then led her group to the front of the Auction House, finally ascending to a small pavilion veiled in thin gauze—clearly not a place for ordinary people.
Once inside the pavilion, the previously surprised Fox-Fur Woman smiled and said, “Aunt Yu, those two Little Ones are not simple; I wonder which family they belong to?”
“That girl is from the Pharmaceutical Clan, so she won't be ordinary. Moreover, judging by her aura, she likely isn't just an ordinary member of the Pharmaceutical Clan,” replied the Old Woman slowly.
“Pharmaceutical Clan?” another woman raised an eyebrow and chuckled, “This Little One must have sneaked out; it's lucky she didn’t encounter any danger. Otherwise, those old folks would have gone mad.”
“Aunt Yu, I find that young man even more interesting,” said the Fox-Fur Woman with a smile.
As soon as she spoke, the other three women looked at her in surprise. They rarely heard her praise anyone, especially someone whose cultivation level was evidently not high.
“Hmm, his aura is robust; he can be considered a standout among those in the Body Refinement Realm. Not simple at all,” nodded the Old Woman.
“If he helps out, then Lunar sister will basically have a solid chance of success,” said the Fox-Fur Woman, her eyes brightening.
“You mean...?” The Old Woman frowned slightly, clearly intrigued. The strength of Fang Chen's aura within the Body Refinement Realm was rare in her lifetime. Having such support would greatly benefit Lunar in successfully emerging from the entry trials of the Ziyang Sect.
At that moment, the light in the venue suddenly dimmed before bursting back to brightness. Finally, a beam of light shot up explosively from the center of the Auction House, accompanied by faint sounds of chimes.
The once noisy Auction House suddenly fell silent, with countless gazes instantly directed towards the center.
In that beam of light, a White-Robed Elder emerged. The old man had white hair and beard, a warm smile on his face, and his gaze slowly swept around the Auction House before he lightly nodded to the crowd.
"Master Mufang! This auction is actually hosted by Master Mufang; it seems there must be something extraordinary!"
"Indeed, every auction hosted by Master Mufang always features an incredible treasure. It looks like we are in for a treat this time."
"No wonder there are more people here than last month."
…
Fang Chen listened to the whispers around him, his eyes revealing some surprise. He glanced at the warm-smiling White-Robed Elder, not expecting the latter to have such a significant reputation.
At the moment the old man appeared, within the pavilion where the Fox-Fur Woman was located.
"The auction has begun. Let's wait until it ends before approaching that young man," the Old Woman said. "We cannot afford any mistakes with that item."
