Fang Yuan and Qin Bai Sheng walked side by side as they entered the blessed land.
"Brother Luo Li, with the things you've brought, my auction will become even more famous throughout all five regions! You're helping me greatly, brother!" Qin Bai Sheng spoke meaningfully.
Fang Yuan rubbed his nose awkwardly. "Brother Qin flatters me. How can these things compare to the total value of everything that will be auctioned? Brother is already famous. You turned the tide and transformed disaster into fortune, who doesn't know your name now?"
"Luo Li, I am merely someone seeking safety, while you are someone who takes risks for profit. In this comparison, you are the winner. How could I possibly surpass you?" Qin Bai Sheng patted Fang Yuan's shoulder as he led Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, and Mo Tan Sang toward the auction hall.
Qin Bai Sheng tried to probe Fang Yuan's identity, but the latter was like a thick wall that he could not see through.
"Who exactly is this Luo Li? The things he is putting up for sale will undoubtedly cause a commotion and arouse the greed of the Gu Immortals. Yet he doesn't seem worried about his safety at all." Qin Bai Sheng thought while maintaining a smile on his face.
"Brother Qin, you exaggerate. If I possessed brother's battle strength, I would be even bolder in my actions. Unfortunately, things don't always go as one wishes. I am merely an immortal zombie, even my freedom does not belong to me." Fang Yuan complained as he entered the auction hall.
"Hahaha, I understand, brother. Luck is fickle, and most of the time it is hardly favorable. Then I shall leave you here, brother. This is the auction hall, you may choose whichever individual room or private room you wish. The first ten secret rooms have already been reserved, but there are still more available. How about secret rooms eleven and twelve?" Qin Bai Sheng stopped to bid farewell to Fang Yuan's group.
"That will do. Then Brother Qin, I won't take up any more of your time." Fang Yuan headed toward one of the secret rooms, while Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Mo Tan Sang did the same.
Fang Yuan entered his secret room, which was secret room eleven. Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Mo Tan Sang occupied secret rooms twelve and thirteen respectively.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng followed Fang Yuan's advice and chose a secret room, while Mo Tan Sang was intelligent enough to realize that he would arouse suspicion if he did not enter one.
After all, he was using unfamiliar face, which was merely a mortal killer move. Who could say that there would not be someone shameless enough to inspect him with an immortal killer move and expose his identity?
Fang Yuan took out an east window Gu and examined it.
Everything that would be offered for sale in the auction was recorded inside. There was a list of Immortal Gu that would be auctioned, as well as lists of resources, beast groups, and certain pieces of information. There was even a complete list of inheritances being sought, while in the free exchange section, one could even request services from other Gu Immortals.
Fang Yuan laughed inwardly when he saw the list of Immortal Gu.
"The influence was actually this great. Most of these Immortal Gu are Gu worms that Gu Immortals had kept in storage and are only now taking out to exchange. Very few of the Immortal Gu here actually came from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building."
Trading Immortal Gu was understandable. Some Gu Immortals might possess Immortal Gu from paths they did not cultivate, but they would still keep them in hopes of exchanging them for more useful Immortal Gu. There was also the cost of feeding Immortal Gu, which placed a burden on a Gu Immortal's finances.
All these reasons made Immortal Gu transactions highly sought after. Yet despite the immense demand, there was almost no supply.
Qin Bai Sheng had solved this problem through the auction. Using his strength and reputation, along with Fairy Li Shan's mountain pledge Gu, he had given up some benefits to persuade both the righteous and demonic paths to participate.
And with a single move, he would become the greatest beneficiary once the auction concluded.
Even after living through and experiencing more than what most Gu Immortals would encounter over thousands of years, Fang Yuan could not help but admire Qin Bai Sheng.
Fang Yuan gathered his thoughts and put the east window Gu aside. With a thought, the auction hall appeared before him.
The auction was divided into three sections: the main hall, individual rooms, and secret rooms. Fang Yuan could only see the people inside the main hall and nothing else.
At this moment, more than twenty Gu Immortals were seated in the main hall, speaking openly without fear of being eavesdropped on.
"Old Luo, it has been some time. I trust you've been well?"
"Oh, Qing Xuan Zi, you've already passed your second heavenly tribulation, haven't you?"
"I am ashamed. My foundation is too weak, and I was afraid, so I placed my blessed land in the outside world of Northern Plains during these past few years. After spending a great deal of resources and borrowing a time path Immortal Gu, I slowed the flow of time in my blessed land. At present, my cultivation is still at one heavenly tribulation."
Fang Yuan observed the Gu Immortals. Some were meeting old acquaintances, while others were bickering with their enemies.
"Oh? The star path clone has already reached Poison Grassland?" Fang Yuan straightened his posture as a message from his star path clone reached him.
Northern Plains, Poison Grassland.
Star Lord Wan Xiang had just arrived at Poison Grassland. The grassland was covered in a thick layer of poisonous fog.
The poisonous fog was the result of Poison Scorpion Lady opening the entrance to her blessed land to reduce the concentration of poison within it.
"One of the tasks the main body entrusted to me is dealing with Poison Scorpion Lady. It won't be difficult once I lure her out." Star Lord Wan Xiang moved leisurely, showing no signs of being pressed for time.
Over the past two months, most of his star path Immortal Gu had been raised to rank seven. The main body had contributed to refining the Immortal Gu and had also funded Star Lord Wan Xiang with immortal essence stones to replenish his immortal essence reserves.
And with the memories he had obtained from Fang Yuan, he possessed an enormous number of star path inheritances and a great many immortal killer moves. All he had been doing during his previous period of seclusion in Immortal Crane Sect was modifying his immortal killer moves and practicing them.
Overall, his battle strength was roughly on the same level as Shi Lei!
Star Lord Wan Xiang ventured deeper into Poison Grassland until he reached its heart.
Star Lord Wan Xiang closed his eyes, and a complex and majestic aura emerged around him. Starlight spread across the sky, shining brilliantly upon Poison Grassland and dispersing the poisonous fog.
Immortal killer move — Space Star Guides Luck!
The dazzling star pierced through space and moved with incredible speed before tearing open space itself and entering the blessed land.
Star Lord Wan Xiang sneered and followed the star inside.
