Learning array formations in the Flame Master's mansion was very comfortable, and almost no one came to disturb him.
Occasionally, the Flame Master would look for Fang Chen to discuss array formations. Fang Chen would vaguely explain to the Flame Master some of the information he had gained from understanding array formations.
As for the Flame Master, after listening to Fang Chen's explanation, he would immediately enter a state of enlightenment.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this one month, Fang Chen's understanding of the Array Dao had improved tremendously.
Because of the Almighty's array formation comprehension, Fang Chen's array formation had improved very quickly.
Now, Fang Chen had changed from an array formation apprentice to a true array formation master.
To be called an array formation master meant that he could set up mortal array formations. Although he could only set up mortal array formations, Fang Chen was already very satisfied.
One day, the Flame Master came to Fang Chen's courtyard.
"Brother Fang, there's a small auction in a restaurant in Sky Array City today. Do you want to go take a look?" the Flame Master asked directly.
"A small auction?" Fang Chen was puzzled. Why would a small auction be held in a restaurant?
"That's right, it's a small auction. This kind of auction isn't something that can be attended with money alone," the Flame Master said.
The Flame Master said, "This auction is led by Jiu Xu. It's a small auction where many second-tier geniuses of the younger generation in Sky Array City will participate.
"The martialists who will participate in the auction are second-tier geniuses. The others won't be able to enter the restaurant," the Flame Master said.
"What's being auctioned?" Fang Chen was a little curious and asked.
"It's nothing more than some useless items obtained by various geniuses. They'll be auctioned off. Basically, it's an exchange between the second-tier young geniuses," the Flame Master said.
Flame Grandmaster said, "If you want to go, I can send you there. I believe they will give me some face."
Fang Chen nodded and said, "Flame Master, I can go there myself."
After coming out of the Flame Master's mansion, Fang Chen followed the map provided by the Flame Master and soon arrived in front of the restaurant.
This restaurant was called Nature Restaurant. Normally, it was open to the public, but today, it was closed to the public.
"The Nature Pavilion?" Fang Chen looked at the Nature Pavilion and grinned.
Even though they were all second-tier geniuses, but he couldn't guarantee that they didn't have what he wanted.
Therefore, Fang Chen decided to come and take a look.
Then, Fang Chen walked straight to the Nature Building, but he was stopped by the guards.
Fang Chen activated his majestic aura and instantly intimidated the guard. The latter's face was filled with terror as he directly let them pass.
After entering the Nature Building, Fang Chen went straight to the fourth floor.
There were no rooms on the entire fourth floor. It was like a pavilion, and there were about twenty young warriors here.
They were chatting with each other when they suddenly realized that a strange man had arrived.
"Brat, did you come to the wrong place?" someone suddenly shouted.
Fang Chen looked around and said, "I didn't come to the wrong place. This is the place."
"Brat, hurry up and leave, or you'll never be able to leave," said a warrior coldly.
At this moment, Jiu Xu and Immortal Mo saw Fang Chen. A trace of ridicule appeared on their faces.
"Brat, you really have guts. You actually dared to come here." Jiu Xu grinned. His words were filled with threat.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" asked Fang Chen.
"Brat, with your strength, I'm afraid you don't have the qualifications to come here. Are you here to humiliate yourself?" Immortal Mo laughed sinisterly.
"I'm here to participate in the auction," said Fang Chen seriously.
When they heard Fang Chen's words, the surrounding warriors all looked at Fang Chen curiously. They didn't understand where this brat had come from to actually dare to participate in their auction.
"Scram!" roared Immortal Mo furiously.
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiu Xu. "Isn't this so-called auction just a gathering for the second-tier geniuses of the younger generation? As long as you're strong enough, you can participate."
Jiu Xu nodded when he heard Fang Chen's words. "That's right. As long as you're strong enough and have obtained the approval of the second-tier geniuses, you can participate.
However, if some people try to sneak in here, the consequences will be very severe. "
Crash!
All of a sudden, Fang Chen unleashed a ferocious aura that swept across the entire fourth-floor, causing the surrounding geniuses to be astounded.
"This …"
Those warriors sensed that Fang Chen's aura contained boundless danger. They were actually a bit speechless.
"Is this enough?" asked Fang Chen.
Jiu Xu narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Fang Chen. At this moment, he realized that he was unable to see through Fang Chen.
"Hmph, putting on an act." Jiu Xu said coldly.
"Brother Jiu Xu, this kid's strength has reached the fifth level of the Condensing Reality Realm. He's qualified to participate."
"That's right. This kid has some skills. We can let him stay."
"If there's nothing else, the auction can begin."
The warriors spoke one after another. Hearing this, Jiu Xu turned his head and no longer looked at Fang Chen.
"Hmph, wait until the auction ends. You'll suffer." Jiu Xu said in his heart.
Then, Jiu Xu walked back to his original position and sat cross-legged on the ground. He said, "Since everyone is here, the auction will officially begin.
This auction will be the same as before. Everyone can take out their own items to auction. You'll exchange your money with your goods. If you discover any false bids, everyone will attack together. "
As he spoke, Jiu Xu deliberately glanced at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen found a place and sat cross-legged, waiting for the auction to begin.
At this moment, a warrior took out a pitch-black flute and said, "I obtained this flute by accident. This flute is a supreme grade spiritual weapon. It's very useful for cultivators who cultivate sound wave attacks."
Hearing this warrior's words, everyone was shocked.
One of the girls in white said with an excited smile, "Brother Lou, I want this flute."
"The starting bid is one million upper grade spiritual stones." Lou Ran said.
"I bid two million upper grade spiritual stones." The woman in white smiled.
"This disciple with a supreme grade spiritual weapon is most suitable for Miss Bai Yanran." The other warriors said.
Lou Ran looked around and found that no one was bidding. In the end, the flute was won by Bai Yanran at the price of two million upper grade spiritual stones.
Next, someone took out a few more treasures.
These treasures were not very attractive to Fang Chen. However, during this time, Fang Chen got to know many young second-tier warriors.
Lou Ran was a disciple of the Heavenly Armament Tower, and the woman in white, Bai Yanran, was a disciple of the Sound Pavilion. The strength of these two people was second only to Immortal Mo and Jiu Xu.
Time passed by slowly. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
After an hour, someone took out a treasure that instantly attracted Fang Chen's attention.
"This item was obtained by me in a certain ruin. It's useless to me. Furthermore, this item itself is broken, so I might as well sell it." A tall and sturdy man held a jade pendant in his hand.
"This jade pendant contains a broken array formation. If this array formation was complete, it would be at least a Black Grade array formation. However, because it's broken, its power must have decreased." The warrior explained.
After listening to the warrior's introduction, Fang Chen was suddenly tempted.
The jade pendant contained a broken array formation. When one was in danger, one could crush the jade pendant and the array formation would appear instantly. This was definitely a life-saving treasure.
Moreover, if the array formation was complete, it would be at least a Black Grade array formation.
One had to know that an array master who could set up a Black Grade array formation was at least an array grandmaster. There were only a few of such experts in the entire Nanling Land.
Most importantly, the broken array formation in the jade pendant could be repaired.
Once it was repaired, its power would be unimaginable.
"A broken array formation."
Seeing the jade pendant in the burly man's hand, Jiu Xu's eyes were filled with passion. No one knew the value of this jade pendant better than him.
"I must get this jade pendant at all costs." Jiu Xu said to himself.
"The starting bid is one million Upper Grade Spirit Stones." The burly man said.
Then, Jiu Xu directly bid, "Two million Upper Grade Spirit Stones."
"Three million Upper Grade Spirit Stones."
"Five million Upper Grade Spirit Stones."
In the blink of an eye, the price of the jade pendant had risen to ten million Upper Grade Spirit Stones.
However, when the jade pendant's price rose to ten million Upper Grade Spirit Stones, most of the geniuses stopped bidding. They weren't array masters, so even if they could get the jade pendant at a high price, they might not be able to repair it. So after weighing the pros and cons, they felt that it wasn't worth it.
"Twelve million Upper Grade Spirit Stones." Jiu Xu's eyes were bloodshot.
"Everyone, Brother Jiu Xu really wants this item. Why don't we give him some face?" At this moment, Immortal Mo spoke up.
He had a good relationship with Jiu Xu, so seeing Jiu Xu like this, he naturally had to speak up for him.
Hearing Immortal Mo's words, everyone fell silent and stopped bidding. His meaning couldn't be more obvious.
But at this moment, Fang Chen spoke up.
"Thirteen million Upper Grade Spirit Stones."
Immortal Mo and Jiu Xu's eyes were cold when they heard Fang Chen's bid. They turned to look at Fang Chen.
"Kid, you'll be punished if you don't bid." Immortal Mo said in a low voice.
"A mere thirteen million Upper Grade Spirit Stones is nothing." Fang Chen said.
"Fourteen million Upper Spiritual Stones." Jiu Xu was enraged as he enunciated each word.
"Fifteen million Upper Grade Spirit Stones." Fang Chen continued to bid.
Jiu Xu had the urge to kill someone. The jade pendant was right in front of him, so no one dared to bid against him. Who would have thought that someone would come out of nowhere?
