Although the items in the hall were rare, they weren't qualified to be auctioned, which meant that they weren't real treasures.
Thus, many people only paused for a moment and casually browsed around for a while before directly entering the auction hall.
When Lin Feng's group entered the auction hall, two-thirds of the seats that could accommodate 600 people were already filled. According to the seats on the invitation, Lin Feng's group quickly took their seats.
Their seats were closer to the front, and beside Lin Feng's group were Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi.
Seeing Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi, except for Lin Feng and Yunkai, who appeared calm, everyone else was a bit excited.
Each of the Ten All-Stars had tens of millions of fans, and Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were the most popular.
It could be said that since the third year of middle school, everyone had been watching Ye Xing and Yun Tianqi's competition and discussing who was stronger and more handsome with their classmates.
This was the idol they worshipped and the goal they worked hard for. If it weren't for the occasion, Yue Mingming and the others would have even asked for an autograph.
To be able to be so close to their idols in such an occasion was a bit unreal for them.
"We meet again."
Sitting in his seat, Ye Xing greeted Ye Qiu, who was two seats away from him.
During the Rookie Challenge, Ye Qiu had challenged Ye Xing, so he also admired Ye Qiu.
Ye Xing's style was very violent. As the number one Berserker in the Alliance, his fighting style was violent and passionate, instantly igniting the audience's emotions and making their blood boil.
Ye Xing was fond of close combat. He would use his Second Berserk Transformation at close range, relying on his terrifying strength to crush his opponents. However, in the Rookie Challenge, Ye Qiu had left him somewhat helpless, even falling into a disadvantageous position.
Under the suppression of his strength, it would be very difficult for him to win if he didn't rely on his combat experience.
"Senior."
Ye Qiu nodded. He, who had always been indifferent to everything and everyone, now had a trace of respect on his face.
Ye Xing admired him, and he also respected Ye Xing.
"Senior."
Zhan Tianyu also waved at Yun Tianqi.
In the Rookie Challenge Competition, he had challenged Yun Tianqi to compete in attack speed.
Although he won in the end by relying on the advantage of having six arms, he knew that Yun Tianqi went easy on him.
Yun Tianqi refined a Rank 6 demon spirit, but he was able to establish himself in the Glory League, where geniuses were everywhere. He was even able to become one of the Ten All-Stars. Aside from being inspirational, it was also admirable.
"You youngsters are a big crowd wherever you go!"
Yun Tianqi said with a smile, his tone somewhat envious.
He had always admired Lin Feng and the others.
This was a group of super geniuses with outstanding talent and faith.
They had a common belief, a common pursuit, and had grown up together. They had experienced life and death battles together and built a friendship that was far more precious and long-lasting than being a team member.
"Are you all going to the Fringe this time?"
Yun Tianqi asked curiously.
His gaze swept over Chen Tianming and He Jun. He had an impression of Chen Tianming. It was hard to forget Brother Cuckold, but he did not know He Jun at all.
Zhan Tianyu nodded. Yun Tianqi then asked, "How about we form a team when we enter the Fringe?"
It was very common to form a team when entering the Fringe. The battle for the key was too bitter. If they were alone, their chances of survival would be very low.
This group of super geniuses was not much weaker than Yun Tianqi's team when they suppressed their strength. If they formed a team, not only would they be stronger, but their safety would also be guaranteed.
Zhan Tianyu did not respond. He looked at Lin Feng, which surprised Yun Tianqi. Clearly, the person making the decision for this team was Lin Feng.
"What do you think?"
Yun Tianqi asked Lin Feng.
"We can form a team, but who will we listen to?"
Lin Feng asked. He had no objections to forming a team, but since it was a team, there naturally had to be a leader. Otherwise, if they encountered danger and had different opinions, it would be easy to get into trouble.
Yun Tianqi was slightly surprised. He did not expect Lin Feng to ask such a question. Soon after, he found it funny and asked, "What do you think?"
As one of the Ten All-Stars of the Glory League, they were stronger. In Yun Tianqi's opinion, they were naturally more suitable to listen to.
Although Lin Feng and the others had brilliant battle records, they were still a bit lacking if they wanted to be the leader. They would not agree.
"Let's switch seats."
Lin Feng patted Yue Mingming's shoulder and switched seats with him. He sat next to Yun Tianqi.
"Silence …"
Lin Feng glanced at Yu Qiao. The latter understood tacitly and released the Silent Realm.
Yun Tianqi frowned slightly. He and Ye Xing looked at each other in surprise. They did not know what Lin Feng was doing. Was there a need to be so mysterious?
He even released the Silent Realm.
Inside this barrier that isolated all sound, even the Sovereigns could not hear what they were saying.
There were many experts nearby, and many people discovered that Yu Qiao had released a soul skill. Some of them were curious, but they could not hear anything.
Facing Yun Tianqi's puzzled gaze, Lin Feng said, "I've created an alliance, and everyone in this row is a member of the alliance."
"So?" Yun Tianqi asked.
What did this have to do with his suggestion?
Although the members of this alliance were all geniuses, so what?
The Glory of Glory Professional Alliance was the alliance with the most geniuses in the country. However, this kind of alliance was meaningless and did not have much cohesion.
"I've left two spots for you and Ye Xing."
Lin Feng said. Hearing this, Yun Tianqi was dumbfounded, and so was Ye Xing.
Leaving two spots? Why did these words sound so wrong?
Wasn't this tone too big?
What kind of alliance was so awesome?
The meaning of these words was as if it was an honor for them to be able to join the alliance.
"You want to recruit us?
You want to be the boss? "
Yun Tianqi said in surprise.
They originally only wanted to team up with Lin Feng's group. Why did it suddenly become Lin Feng trying to recruit them?
Although this alliance was indeed different and had many super geniuses that could refine demon spirits on the Earth Ranking, wasn't this tone too big?
He and Ye Xing were part of the Ten Great All-Stars, and they were far stronger than Lin Feng's group.
Many forces had extended olive branches to them, promising them all kinds of generous conditions, but they were all rejected.
Why would they join an alliance that they did not know what to do?
What kind of background did this alliance have?
What kind of strength did they have?
A group of geniuses. No matter how talented they were, they were only geniuses, not experts.
Furthermore, it was impossible for them to listen to Lin Feng's orders.
Lin Feng shook his head and explained, "We're all in the same alliance, and we're all teammates. There's no hierarchy."
Yun Tianqi smiled and said, "That's true, but it's clear that this alliance is led by your opinion."
Lin Feng did not refute.
Yun Tianqi continued, "I admit that your talent is monstrous, and you're invincible among your peers. However, you're still too young to lead us."
These words were very direct.
In Yun Tianqi's view, Lin Feng was overestimating his own capabilities.
No matter how talented Lin Feng was, it was impossible for him to be a match for Yun Tianqi.
Yun Tianqi's tone was filled with undisguised doubt, but Lin Feng did not mind.
Unlike Zhan Tianyu and the others, Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing were already part of the Ten Great All-Stars. The two of them were now eighth grade Martial Dao and seven star Demon Spiritualists. Their strength was even stronger than Ling Yun's and could be said to be below King Realm. Furthermore, the two of them did not lack money.
It was clearly impossible to make them join with just a few words.
"Let's chat after the auction."
Lin Feng did not continue to persuade them. It would be best if Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing could join, but it was no big deal if they didn't.
Zhan Tianyu felt that it was a pity, but it was for Yun Tianqi and Ye Xing.
At this stage, joining the Avengers would only allow you to enjoy one type of treatment. However, even if it was only one type of treatment, it was enough to make any Demon Spiritualist go crazy.
Yun Tianqi was somewhat puzzled by everyone's confidence. Why did it give him the feeling that not joining would be a loss?
Yun Tianqi was puzzled, but at the same time, he found it funny and did not take it to heart.
As the Silent Realm dissipated, the atmosphere was silent for a moment.
The auction had yet to begin, but people continued to enter and take their seats. Just as everyone was waiting for the auction to begin, the atmosphere became slightly restless.
Following everyone's gaze, a group of seven people appeared and walked towards the front row. The one leading was an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion.
Seeing the arrival of the old man, many people stood up and greeted him.
"People from the Dawn Organization."
"Xu Tianyin has appeared."
Many people whispered to each other.
Dawn was also an organization with a very high reputation in the country.
The name Dawn was somewhat similar to the Pure Land. The meaning behind the name was also similar. One was to protect humanity's last Pure Land, while the other was to welcome humanity's last dawn.
Not only was the meaning behind the name, but the structure of the Dawn Organization was also imitating the Pure Land. Although it was not as strong as the Pure Land, it was still not something an ordinary organization could compare to.
The old man leading the group of seven was called Xu Tianyin, a pinnacle Martial King expert.
Lin Feng had heard of this organization before, but he didn't care because it had no connection with him.
What attracted his attention was a familiar figure.
Although they hadn't seen each other for two years and he had only seen the side of her face, Lin Feng still recognized her at a glance.
It was Ya Ge.
After graduating from high school, the girl had undergone a magnificent transformation in two years.
The girl had cut her long hair. Now, her short hair added a trace of confidence and liveliness. Her beautiful figure was faintly discernible in the combat uniform. Her fair and delicate face revealed a hint of charm in her innocence. She constantly attracted the attention of the crowd.
Many people looked at Ya Ge and then looked at Lin Feng. Their eyes flashed with a trace of interest.
Everyone knew that the two used to be a couple. Now, with Lin Feng being the focus of the whole country, the girl seemed to be somewhat unknown.
However, no one would have thought that Ya Ge had joined the Dawn Organization.
And Lin Feng had also become an apostle candidate of the Pure Land.
Ya Ge followed behind a middle-aged man. She lowered her head slightly. In the midst of the discussion, she raised her head and looked in the direction of Lin Feng. She quickly retracted her gaze and appeared to be very indifferent.
On the contrary, a young man beside her was staring at Lin Feng.
The young man seemed to be twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He was wearing casual clothes and had a handsome appearance. He smiled at Lin Feng. His smile revealed a trace of provocation.
"Someone provoked you. Kill him."
Yu Qiao chuckled, somewhat gloating.
Yunkai glanced at Yu Qiao with a warning gaze. Yu Qiao didn't say anything else and only let out a despicable laugh.
"Haha, how do you feel?"
Yun Tianqi also asked in a gossipy manner.
Although he refused to join the Glory Alliance, this didn't affect his appreciation and recognition of Lin Feng.
As fellow townsmen, their relationship was closer than others.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Lin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes and ignore Yun Tianqi's gossip.
Meeting Ya Ge, other than feeling a little emotional, he didn't feel anything special.
Lin Feng was a little surprised that Ya Ge had joined the Dawn Organization, but he didn't care too much.
Although Ya Ge had signed a contract with Juxing, the Glory League was in turmoil and all the matches had been suspended indefinitely. It was normal for her to find another way out.
As for this inexplicable provocation, Lin Feng was too lazy to respond.
"That's Xu Tianyin's grandson. I've fought him before, and he's not much weaker than me."
Seeing that Lin Feng was too lazy to respond, Yun Tianqi didn't continue to tease him and instead reminded him.
Lin Feng closed his eyes and rested.
It didn't matter to him whose grandson it was as long as he didn't come looking for trouble.
As all the seats were filled, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure wearing a cheongsam appeared on the auction stage and smiled at the crowd below.
"Thank you, everyone, for coming to the Windchime Auction House and bringing light to tonight's Windchime Auction House. We've collected 100 precious items for this auction. Without further ado, the auction officially begins."
After advertising in front of so many experts, the beautiful woman stopped before going too far and didn't dare to waste time. She lightly stepped on the ground, and a one-meter-tall pillar slowly rose in front of her eyes. At the top of the pillar was a fist-sized dark red object with a slightly bumpy surface.
"The first item is the demon core of a Rank 9 Quick Fire Lion. It's suitable for fire-attribute professionals and is beneficial for increasing strength and demon spirit growth."
Speaking of this, the woman paused for a moment before continuing, "The starting price is 100 million, and each increment is 5 million."
She had just finished her sentence when someone immediately raised their paddle.
"150 million."
"110 million."
"120 million."
Sounds of increasing bids rang out one after another.
"They're all rich people."
Yue Mingming smacked his lips. Other than Lin Feng, this auction apparently had nothing to do with them. They were only here to broaden their horizons.
"They're indeed all rich people." Yun Tianqi smiled.
The first item directly started at 100 million and the subsequent items would probably start at 1 billion.
As one of the Top Ten All Stars, although he wasn't lacking in money, but compared to large families and financial groups, he was still considered a poor man.
Very quickly, the first item was sold at a price of 300 million.
The following auction items became more and more precious and one of them was a high grade spiritual weapon named 'Cloudy Qilin Sword' which was auctioned at a high price of 1 billion. One must know that this was only the ninth item.
This auction was indeed one of a kind.
As the auction items became more and more precious, the prices also became higher and higher. 1 billion was already a normal figure and some even soared to 1.5 billion. The atmosphere at the scene also became more and more heated.
Following the fusion of the spatial gates, the various large powers no longer placed much importance on money. Compared to the past, the prices of some auction items had directly doubled.
Lin Feng didn't make a move. Although these auction items were precious, they weren't suitable for him.
However, when an auction item appeared, Lin Feng slightly adjusted his sitting position as a glint flashed across his eyes.
"This is the 23rd auction item. I believe that many of you have already seen what this item is."
On the auction stage, the beautiful woman held a fist-sized rainbow-colored fruit in her hand and slowly said, "This is a spirit fruit from the Martial Continent.
"A Spirit Ascension Fruit. This fruit comes from the Shenwu Continent, and eating it will allow one's bonded demon spirit to rise by one rank. It can also help the demon spirit evolve. However, it is only effective for demon spirits that are rank 6 and below. The effects are limited for rank 6 demons, and it has almost no effect on rank 7 demons.
The appearance of the Spirit Ascension Fruit surprised many people.
This type of fruit was indeed very rare and could directly raise a demon spirit by one rank, which was equivalent to shortening a demon spirit's growth time by one or two years.
It might not be useful for powerhouses, but it was indeed useful for geniuses.
"The starting price of the Spirit Ascension Fruit is 1 billion. Each increment is 100 million," the beautiful woman slowly said.
Just as she finished speaking, someone raised their paddle. "1.1 billion."
"1.2 billion."
People continued to raise their paddles, and the price quickly soared to 1.5 billion.
"1.6 billion." Lin Feng raised his paddle.
Many people looked at Lin Feng. This was the first time Lin Feng had raised his paddle.
They weren't surprised that Lin Feng had raised his paddle.
Compared to others, this Spirit Ascension Fruit was more important to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng already had five soul skills: Mirror Image, Phantom Image, Lock on, Demonic Flame, and Transmogrification.
Five soul skills. This meant that Lin Feng's demon spirit had already grown to rank five, making him a 5-star Demon Spiritualist.
Some people guessed that since Lin Feng was already a 6-star Demon Spiritualist, he still had one more soul skill that no one knew about, which was his first soul skill.
Of the five soul skills that Lin Feng had absorbed, three were Purple Gold rank soul skills and two were Diamond rank soul skills.
Absorbing Purple Gold rank soul skills with his first soul skill was too inconceivable. Therefore, many people suspected that Lin Feng still had another soul skill.
Lin Feng had refined a rank one demon spirit. If he wanted to evolve it, it would be very difficult. The higher the rank, the harder it would be.
To others, having the Spirit Ascension Fruit would only save time for their demon spirit. However, to Lin Feng, it could allow his demon spirit to evolve.
Perhaps because they knew that this Spirit Ascension Fruit was very important to Lin Feng, and that this was the first time Lin Feng had bid, no one raised their paddle after Lin Feng's bid reached 2 billion.
Lin Feng's performance in Imperial Jade Seal City made many experts admire him.
Furthermore, in two days, Lin Feng would be entering the Bedlam Lands. If his demon spirit could increase by one rank and absorb one more soul skill, his safety would be guaranteed, and the threat to the foreign races would be greater.
To a genius, spending 2 billion to save a demon spirit a year of growth was more valuable than buying a demon spirit with a high rank soul skill.
Such a large sum of money, if used to buy resources, it could also increase the demon spirit's growth.
Furthermore, Lin Feng was determined to get this Spirit Ascension Fruit, so there was no need to offend him.
Due to various reasons, no one continued to bid.
Lin Feng looked around and nodded his head slightly to express his gratitude. He was slightly relieved.
This Spirit Ascension Fruit was very important to him.
When the Arowana evolved to rank five, its growth rate was very slow. Although it had the assistance of the Dragonfish Transformation, it was still very difficult for it to evolve.
Eating a Spirit Ascension Fruit could save a demon spirit one or two years of growth, so it was definitely worth it.
Not only did it save time, the amount of resources required to evolve the Arowana was also very exaggerated. It would take at least 2 to 3 billion.
A Spirit Ascension Fruit might be expensive to others, but to Lin Feng, it was worth it. It could even save him money.
"2 billion going once!"
"2 billion going twice!" The beautiful woman shouted according to the auction rules. Compared to before, her speed was slightly faster.
As an employee of the auction house, she knew that Lin Feng was the one who had provided the spatial ring for the finale of the auction.
The reason why the auction was so sensational was largely because of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at the beautiful woman. Facing Lin Feng's gaze, the beautiful woman smiled and raised the small hammer in her hand. Just as she was about to strike, she was interrupted by a voice, "2.1 billion!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, a young man in the front row slowly raised the number plate in his hand. Beside the young man, a charming girl frowned and looked at the young man beside her.
The young man smiled at Ya Ge, then looked at Lin Feng. Facing Lin Feng's gaze, he smiled. His smile was still filled with provocation.
