The location of the underground auction is not in Tianxing City, but on an independent island outside Tianxing City.
The Star Palace is centered on Tianxing City, with eight areas on the periphery and four areas in the middle. Each area selects three islands to set up direct sub-islands. They are the Outer Twenty-Four Star Island and the Inner Twelve Star Island.
Island, thirty-six islands guard Tianxing City among them.
The island in front of you is one of the twelve inner star islands. The island is very large. Although it is not as prosperous as Tianxing City, it is not far behind. The streets are crisscrossed and there are countless shops of all kinds.
Chu Feng and the others got off the flying boat, and following Ling Yuling's introduction, he understood the specific details of the auction.
"So, the real organizers of the auction originate from the four major business alliances?"
"It's not just the four major business alliances. They are just organizers on the surface. Behind them are many forces from both good and evil forces in the Chaotic Star Sea. Of course, it is inseparable from the tacit approval of Xing Gong. Every time it is held, there is Xing Gong.
Elders attend."
Chu Feng secretly nodded. There were many forces in Chaos Xinghai. In addition to the four major merchant alliances, there were also Yelong Island, Succubus Sect and other sects. Together, these forces provided the supply of goods, which showed how huge the scale of this auction was.
It was approaching evening at this time, but the streets were not dark. The entire island was lit up by the magical instruments and lamps made by various weapon refiners.
"This place is really lively. Such a large-scale use of magic weapon lighting must be very expensive?"
"Indeed." Ling Yuling nodded and added, "This is one of the four major business alliances, where the headquarters of Futongxing is located. This consumption is nothing to them."
The two exchanged messages from time to time, passed through several streets, and finally arrived at the central area of the island. Compared to the bustling and bustling outer streets, it seemed very quiet. In front of them was a circular square with a large area and the ground.
It is covered with neat square white jade, and a hazy white light shines in the night. A huge red palace is suspended in the center of the square. The palace has doors on all sides, and four red jade steps extend downward.
"Futong Hall?"
Chu Feng looked up and saw the plaque hanging at the door of the floating hall.
"Is the auction held here?"
"This is the main hall of Futongxing, and it is not open to the public. Moreover, we are participating in an underground auction. Some of the products are somewhat shady, so naturally they will not be placed in such a public place."
Ling Yuling explained with a smile, then pointed to an attic at the edge of the square and said: "That's a branch of Futongxing. There is a teleportation array leading to the underground auction."
Chu Feng followed Ling Yuling's guidance and soon arrived in front of the attic. After entering, he discovered that there were several people waiting in line inside. These people's cultivations were all in the pill formation stage, and they were all going to participate in the auction.
monk.
There are rich deacons in the attic, and there is a simple teleportation array behind them. Every monk who wants to teleport must first show an invitation letter, otherwise he will not be allowed to pass.
"I've met two seniors."
Handing the invitation to the other party, the person checked it and then took out two black masks from the storage bag.
"In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, please two seniors put on their masks before teleporting."
Chu Feng looked at the black mask in his hand. He didn't know what kind of material it was made of. It felt a little soft to the touch. There were dense and strange lines drawn on the outside of the mask, which seemed to be some kind of formation.
"This is the Forbidden God Array that isolates visitors. After wearing it, even the great monks in the late Nascent Soul cannot spy." Ling Yuling noticed his curiosity and explained in time.
Chu Feng put on the mask as instructed, and his face seemed to be covered with a soft film, without any discomfort.
The two of them stepped into the teleportation array at the same time, and a white light flashed through them. When they came to their senses, they had arrived at another strange place.
This is a straight underground passage. The passage is very spacious. There are two rows of lamps and instruments embedded in the stone walls on both sides. Under the light, the entire passage is as bright as day.
The passage was not long, and after walking for a few minutes, we reached the end. In front of us was a black stone door. Two low-level monks stood on both sides of the door. When they saw the visitors, they all bowed respectfully. One of them took out two
A round wooden sign said:
"Welcome to the auction, seniors. These are your temporary seat numbers. Please keep them."
Chu Feng took it and took a look. On the wooden raft was written Ding Twenty-Six. His eyes inadvertently glanced at Ling Yuling's number, but it was written Ding Fifteen.
Ling Yuling frowned slightly and said immediately:
"Give us two seats next to each other."
"That's not possible. According to the rules of our business alliance, all positions are random, so as to ensure fairness to the greatest extent." The low-level monk quickly shook his head and refused.
Ling Yuling snorted coldly and did not argue. She took out a golden token in her hand and shook it.
The two people obviously recognized the origin of the token, and their expressions suddenly changed slightly:
"Excuse me, my lord, but I was ignorant and neglected you two. I will replace them for you."
Chu Feng watched coldly. Sure enough, there is no absolute fairness in this world. Soon, the man turned out a pair of wooden cards again, with the words Ding Twenty-Seven written on them. This time, there was no need to change to another one.
"Congratulations to the two seniors."
The two people did not dare to hesitate at all, and took the initiative to push the black stone door open. Their eyes suddenly opened up. This was a vast underground hall. There was no one in the center, except for a round white jade stone platform. All the monks
They were all sitting in a circle at the edge of the hall.
"Our location is on the first floor. Only Nascent Soul Stage monks can go up to the second floor." Ling Yuling explained via voice transmission.
The two of them searched for a while following the numbers on the wooden sign, and soon found two seats in a corner of the hall, in a very secluded location.
"The standards of this auction are very high. Although there are many monks in the Alchemy stage, they are just a foil. The ones who really occupy the main field are still the monks in the Nascent Soul stage and above." After sitting in front of the seat, Ling Yuling said again.
"Are there any restrictions on transactions?"
"That's not true. After all, monks in the Dan Formation stage are considered the backbone of the cultivation world. They also have a lot of good things in their hands. Even those seniors in the Nascent Soul stage will be tempted by them."
Chu Feng felt relieved now. He participated in this auction precisely because he was interested in the items in the hands of those Nascent Soul masters, otherwise his harvest would be greatly reduced.
Time passed little by little, and more and more monks came to the hall. Finally, a low cough suddenly came from the noisy scene. The sound was not loud, but it quickly penetrated into everyone's mind like thunder.
Everyone was shocked, and the hall became quiet. Deep in the back, two middle-aged monks walked slowly. One of them was wearing a black gold Taoist uniform, with a stern look, not angry or intimidating. He
Behind him followed an old man, dressed in a white brocade robe, with long gray hair floating freely, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, as if he was careless about everything, until he inadvertently glanced towards a corner, he suddenly shook slightly and his cloudy eyes
