Chapter 222: Treasures Appear Frequently, Xiao Yi Xian's Luck!
Soon, Gu Fei, Cai Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian stopped at the end of a street. It was clearly the end of Space Town, and the surroundings became desolate, no longer as bustling as before.
At this spot stood an ancient pavilion, emanating an aura of antiquity and history. Outside the pavilion, two elderly men stood motionless, resembling statues. Both had reached the level of Six-Star Dou Venerate, and such powerful individuals were only there to guard the entrance.
This highlighted the high standards of the Spatial Trade Fair here!
"Let's go inside!" Gu Fei said, leading Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian toward the main gate, snapping his fingers. A red light flashed from between his fingers, shooting toward the two elderly guardians, who calmly caught it and transformed it into a red jade slip.
"Please..."
Receiving the red light, the two expressionless elders' faces slightly twitched as their cloudy eyes glanced over Gu Fei and his companions. Then, one of them slightly bent forward, waved his sleeve, and three black rays shot toward Gu Fei and the others. Suddenly, a pitch-black cloak floated before them.
"Most people entering here hide their identities to avoid attracting attention. This cloak can prevent others from detecting you..." Gu Fei explained with a smile, then put on the cloak. Seeing this, Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian also donned theirs.
The three of them then stepped into the ancient pavilion together.
"Please, follow me!" A gray-robed elder quickly approached from the side and whispered to the trio. Gu Fei didn't respond verbally, simply following calmly.
After a few minutes, they stopped in front of a bronze gate. The elder paused here, bowed slightly to Gu Fei, and silently retreated without further ado.
"Let's go in," Gu Fei said, pushing open the old bronze gate slowly. Inside was an ancient hall about half the size of a plaza, filled with stone chairs. Many people were already seated on them.
Their entrance drew some glances, but the onlookers quickly turned away. Gu Fei paid no attention to these stares, leading the two women to sit in a more secluded area.
"There are many people here, so let's take precautions. It's not convenient to talk openly..." Gu Fei said as they took their seats. He used spatial power to envelop the three of them, ensuring their conversations remained private.
After a short while, a clear and melodious bell rang through the quiet hall. In the center of the main hall, an elderly man with white hair slowly appeared through the distorted space.
The elder was the head of Reflecting Treasure Mountain, Elder Baoshan, a man who treasured countless valuables throughout his life. He was also the host of this auction.
"Hehe, another Spatial Trade Fair. Everyone is doing well, I hope!" Elder Baoshan greeted, scanning the hall with his gaze. However, no one responded to his greeting, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
"King Kong Glass Body, Heaven class low level Dou Skill. Created a thousand years ago by the Saint Liu Li, this Dou Technique, when perfected, makes the body as hard as metal, combining both attack and defense into a formidable technique..." (TL/n: Usually glass body means fragile but that's what it says on wiki- the original wasn't translated properly.)
Upon seeing this Dou Technique, Gu Fei found himself interested. Although he didn't lack Heavenly Dou Techniques, this physical Dou Technique still held learning value. In the future, if he wanted to develop his own physical Dou Technique, he could use this as a
reference.
"It seems Husband wants to buy this Dou Technique!" Cai Lin noticed the look in Gu Fei's eyes and smiled.
"Mm... With my physical strength, mastering this Dou Technique will be no problem!" Gu Fei nodded with a smile.
"The owner of this Dou Technique wishes to trade it for a Low-Heaven Tier Water-Elemental Cultivation Method..." Elder Baoshan began to state the price, smiling broadly.
Inside the hall, many people showed interest in this Dou Technique, and soon bids were made. Within two minutes, four scrolls were tossed to Elder Baoshan, indicating four people were interested in the King Kong Glass Body.
Gu Fei thought of something and chose not to participate in the bidding.
"Husband, don't you have a Water-Elemental Cultivation Method?" Cai Lin said regretfully.
"No problem..." Gu Fei waved his hand, showing no signs of regret.
Soon, the King Kong Glass Body was sold. The other three bidders snorted in displeasure,
clearly a bit annoyed.
In the subsequent auctions, more dazzling items were presented- ranging from Dou Techniques and Cultivation Methods to pills, heavenly materials, weapons, and medicinal cauldrons. While these auction items were rare for ordinary people, Gu Fei chose not to
purchase them.
Until a scroll titled "Heavenly Shadow Poison Classic" appeared, Gu Fei didn't hesitate to use two Five-Colored Pill Lightning eighth-grade pills to help Xiao Yi Xian secure the purchase.
The so-called "Heavenly Shadow Poison Classic" was a toxic scripture created thousands of years ago by a Dou Saint master named Tian Youdu. This master loved using poison, leaving behind detailed methods for concocting powerful toxins. Some of these poisons were so deadly that even Dou Venerate-level experts would suffer greatly upon contact.
For Xiao Yi Xian, this poison classic was extremely valuable. Not only could she use it to create poisons for her own cultivation, but it could also be used against enemies.
