Hearing Elder Xing Yi's words, Chu Feng's gaze shifted, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.
It seemed that the Ghost Sect Hall's auction was far grander than Chu Feng had imagined. There must have been quite a few treasures on offer, otherwise even the overlord of the Gold Stone Upper Realm wouldn't have been moved to attend.
Originally, Chu Feng had only intended to sell that secret technique, but now he had developed considerable anticipation for the Ghost Sect Hall's auction as well.
After some traveling, Chu Feng and Elder Xing Yi finally arrived at the Ghost Sect Hall.
The Ghost Sect Hall was currently abuzz with activity, likely because the auction was about to begin, and many of those in attendance were individuals of considerable status.
Under these circumstances, without sufficient standing or an invitation, one would likely be unable to set foot inside the Ghost Sect Hall.
But the three of them were different. When they arrived at the Ghost Sect Hall, Chu Feng didn't even need to produce the token that Ghost Sorrow Elder had gifted him. After all, given Elder Xing Yi's status, the moment he arrived he would be received as an honored guest.
However, when Ghost Sorrow Elder learned that Chu Feng had come to his Ghost Sect Hall, he immediately came to visit.
And he was not alone — accompanying him was another important figure.
This person stood two meters tall, extremely robust, like a wild bull standing upright.
His appearance was also quite distinctive — his entire body was pitch-black, as if his skin had been dipped in ink.
Strangely, unlike the other members of the Ghost Sect Hall, he wore a white robe.
The reason he wore a white robe instead of black attire was perhaps because, given his ink-dark complexion, wearing black would make him nearly impossible to see.
But being so dark-skinned, a white robe only made him appear even blacker. And he wasn't just dark — he was also quite ugly. His ugliness wasn't repulsive so much as it was bestial; to put it simply, he looked rather savage. He was clearly a human, yet he resembled a wild beast.
But despite his ugly appearance, his aura was incredibly thick. The moment he appeared, even the air around them shifted, and an imposing, regal aura erupted from within him.
Strong, extraordinarily strong — so strong that even Elder Xing Yi seemed considerably weaker in his presence.
This person was the Hall Master of the Ghost Sect Hall.
Most importantly, the Hall Master had not come to see Elder Xing Yi. He had come specifically to see Chu Feng.
He even had Chu Feng escorted to a palace hall for a private audience.
Even someone of Elder Xing Yi and Xia Yun'er's stature was left waiting aside.
"Young friend Chu Feng, this is a small token of my regards. I hope you won't think it too little."
The Hall Master of the Ghost Sect Hall pushed a Universe Bag across the table toward Chu Feng.
"Hall Master, this junior cannot accept this. I came here to auction off my items. How can you be giving me gifts before the auction has even begun?"
Chu Feng did not take the Universe Bag, instead waving his hands in refusal.
"It's just a small meeting gift, nothing of great value. If you refuse to accept it, that means you think it's too little."
"Ghost Sorrow, go bring more," the Hall Master said to Ghost Sorrow Elder standing behind him.
"Yes." Ghost Sorrow Elder replied respectfully, then immediately turned around, actually going to fetch more gifts.
"Ghost Sorrow Elder, please wait."
Seeing this, Chu Feng hurriedly spoke up to stop him, then turned to the Hall Master and said: "Senior, this junior absolutely does not think it's too little, it's just..."
"If you don't accept it, then you think it's too little," the Hall Master said with a faint smile.
He didn't mean it as a threat to Chu Feng — it was more like a joke — but Chu Feng could tell that his attitude was actually quite firm.
This put Chu Feng in a difficult position.
Seeing Chu Feng's troubled expression, Ghost Sorrow Elder smiled as well and said:
