Chapter 27: Murong Xue's Shock
Lin Feng and Jiang Chao were conversing in the VIP room on the third floor, while Murong Xue and others were arranged to stay in another VIP room.
The VIP rooms on the third floor usually serve the distinguished individuals of the Creation Realm.
Murong Xue, Song Ziliu, and others were visiting the VIP room on the third floor for the first time, and curiously scrutinized everything inside it.
"I plan to auction off two Tao Artifacts," Lin Feng stated his purpose outright.
"Tao Artifacts?" Jiang Chao was shocked and immediately asked, "What kind of Tao Artifacts?"
Lin Feng waved his right hand, and two Tao Artifacts flew out.
One was the White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber.
The other was the Heavenly Dragon Seal.
Upon seeing these two treasures, Jiang Chao was astonished and said, "The Pirate King Longyan's White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber and the Great Golden Immortal Dynasty's Heavenly Dragon Seal. After these two treasures were lost, Longyan and the Great Golden Immortal Dynasty have been searching for them. I never thought they'd end up in Master Lin's hands."
Tao Artifacts are extraordinary; forging one is not a simple task. First, the materials are hard to find; second, it's difficult to find a Forging Master capable of forging Tao Artifacts.
Thus, even the most top-tier power would pay a huge price to recover lost Tao Artifacts.
The Pirate King Longyan and the Great Golden Immortal Dynasty have been searching for the White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber and the Heavenly Dragon Seal.
But since Lin Feng obtained them, he has never used them, so they haven't heard any news.
"These two treasures were obtained by chance; can your auction house handle them?" Lin Feng asked.
"Naturally, it's no problem, but I see these two Tao Artifacts seem to have some issues?" Jiang Chao's sharp vision pointed out the crucial point.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "The artifact spirits have disappeared, and their power isn't what it used to be."
"If that's the case, the Tao Artifacts' value might not reach even a third of their peak," Jiang Chao stated.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "No matter, as long as they can be sold that's enough. Keeping them is ultimately a hot potato."
Jiang Chao said, "No problem, anyway in about ten days there will be another auction. Now spreading the news about these two Tao Artifacts can surely attract more people, as countless people must be interested in Tao Artifacts."
Jiang Chao's words were indeed correct, even for cultivators of the Creation Realm, owning Tao Artifacts is as rare as hen's teeth.
Although the power of the White Tiger Shattering Sky Saber and the Heavenly Dragon Seal has greatly diminished due to the loss of their artifact spirits.
However, their remaining power still surpasses that of regular treasures.
Moreover, if there's an opportunity, new artifact spirits might emerge, and their power would be restored.
Therefore, once they are put on auction, these two Tao Artifacts will have great attraction.
As for the items auctioned, there's no need to worry about retaliations from Pirate King Longyan and the Great Golden Immortal Dynasty.
Anything flowing out of an auction house is not questioned for its origin, a rule set by the Jiang Family of the Heavenly Martial Continent.
Everyone must abide by it.
If you dare to violate the rules set by the Ancient Jiang Family to retaliate against the cultivators who bought auctioned items.
Then await the Jiang Family's retaliation.
Ask yourselves, how many dare offend the Jiang Family of the Ancient Vermilion Bird Platform in the Heavenly Martial Continent?
...
"Here's the contract, please sign it, Master Lin."
After drafting the contract, Jiang Chao handed it over to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng signed his name on the contract.
At this time, a voice of Jiang Li came from outside, "This subordinate Jiang Li requests an audience."
Jiang Chao said, "How does Master intend to deal with this Jiang Li?"
"I see that Jiang Li is very loyal to you, so let him go," Lin Feng smiled.
Jiang Li was of little importance.
Nevertheless, Lin Feng gave this face to Jiang Chao.
Making Jiang Chao feel proud.
Jiang Chao was a figure in the core circle of the Jiang Family, and will be useful in many occasions when they meet in the future.
Lin Feng naturally aims to build a good relationship.
Jiang Chao's smile became even brighter, and he said, "Master Lin, having just arrived at Heavenly Saint City, have you found a place to stay? How about staying at our auction house?"
"I won't bother you at the auction house, alright, I should be leaving now." Lin Feng stood up.
With Jiang Chao accompanying, he walked out of the room.
After leaving the auction house, Song Ziliu and others had an awestruck expression in front of Lin Feng. Although they still didn't know Lin Feng's identity, they knew he was certainly a distinguished person and no longer dared to be casual like before.
"Ziliu, you are a Spirit Array Master?" Lin Feng looked at Song Ziliu and asked.
Song Ziliu quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I am a Spirit Array Master, but my talent is limited. I'm currently only a Dark Stage Middle-level Spirit Array Master, and haven't progressed in three years, I fear I've hit a bottleneck."
"Walking the path of a Spirit Array Master isn't easy, perseverance is needed. If you wish to make accomplishments in the field of Spirit Array Mastery, you need to find a mentor to guide you." Lin Feng said.
Song Ziliu smiled bitterly and said, "Skillful Spirit Array Masters rarely accept disciples, besides, in East County Divine Land, it's challenging to find a proficient Spirit Array Master. Going to other states, lacking connections, makes it even more impossible to find someone for guidance."
"President Zhan Junhua of the Stone City Spirit Array Master General Union has decent accomplishments in Formation. You can apprentice under him." Lin Feng said.
"Brother Lin, do you mean President Zhan Junhua, the President of the Spirit Array Master General Union in East County Divine Land?" Song Ziliu asked.
Lin Feng nodded.
Song Ziliu smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows how many people have tried to apprentice under him, all have been rejected. Such an eminent figure wouldn't easily take a disciple."
"In a few days, go find him and say I asked him to accept you as a disciple," Lin Feng said.
"Ah?"
Song Ziliu stood completely still.
"Let's go." Lin Feng looked at Murong Xue and left with her.
Once he and Murong Xue left.
The young masters beside Song Ziliu all looked at him with envy and said, "Brother Song, you've struck it rich now, soon to have President Zhan as a mentor. It's rumored that President Zhan has deep backgrounds in the Spirit Array Master Guild. When you apprentice under him, you'll definitely join the core circle of the Spirit Array Master Guild, and your Song Family will flourish. Hope Brother Song won't forget the brothers he played with during youthful days."
Song Ziliu took a deep breath, suppressing his inner excitement, and said, "I must hurry to tell my father this good news."
With that, he ran towards the Song Family Mansion.
On the way, Murong Xue asked, "Why did you recommend Song Ziliu to apprentice under President Zhan?"
Lin Feng smiled and said, "As you mentioned, he's a decent person, but I don't like him lingering around you. Since he is a Spirit Array Master, I gave him an opportunity. I believe he should know why I'm doing this, if he still unwisely hovers around you, then he'll be completely clueless about human relations."
Murong Xue's cheeks turned slightly red, and she huffed, "I'm not your woman, why care about who hovers around me?"
Saying this, Murong Xue seemed to realize the implication was too obvious, and her face turned completely red, even avoiding eye contact with Lin Feng.
She quickly changed the topic, "Through these years, what have you experienced? Why does a person like Jiang Chao show such respect towards you?"
"Because... I'm a Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"What? Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master?" Murong Xue exclaimed, looking at Lin Feng in disbelief.
She was completely shocked.
If she remembers correctly, Lin Feng is twenty-two years old this year.
A twenty-two-year-old Heavenly Stage Spiritual Array Master?
Such an unprecedented existence has never appeared in the history of the Heavenly Martial Continent, right?
This is far too astounding.
