"Eh? Interesting." Seeing the list of Immortal Materials that Fang Yuan had thrown out, Feng Jiu Ge's eyes flashed, but he quickly calmed down.
The East Sea Gu Immortal's expression seemed unchanged. Leaning back in his chair with an air of authority, he asked Mu Rong Jin Xiao beside him: "How many Refinement Path Grandmasters do you have in the Northern Plains?"
The list was entirely Refinement Path Immortal Materials, extremely numerous and chaotic, dazzling to the eyes. The fact that Fang Yuan took it out so suddenly clearly meant it was prepared long ago.
Only a Refinement Path Gu Immortal would specifically prepare such a list, hoping to make gains at the auction.
Mu Rong Jin Xiao answered without hesitation: "In the Northern Plains, there are four Refinement Path Grandmasters. The foremost is the Yao Clan's Rank Eight Gu Immortal, Yao Huang. Legend has it that his attainment in the Refinement Path has surpassed the Grandmaster level, reaching the stage of a Quasi-Great Grandmaster. The second is my Mu Rong family's Gu Immortal, Mu Rong Xue Xiang, who once successfully refined a Snow Path Immortal Gu. The third is the Second Boss of Big Snow Mountain, Madam Longevity, who has refined Gu for many Demonic Path Gu Immortals. The fourth is a rogue cultivator known as Lady Miaoli, who is skilled in refining Slave Path Gu worms."
The Rank Eight East Sea Gu Immortal listened, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.
"The Gu Immortal in Secret Room No. 10 is not simple."
After the initial shock in the hall calmed down, the Gu Immortals all realized this.
"Now, the situation is interesting. Both buyers are great experts with deep pockets. The seller cannot be ignored either, with a mysterious background. It's truly unfathomable." Qin Bai Sheng's eyes showed anticipation as he kept thinking.
He was the host of this auction and knew the identity of the Rank Eight Gu Immortal in the first secret room. He was from the East Sea.
Gu Immortals from the East Sea, even Rank Eights, had to restrain themselves when they came to the Northern Plains. Especially in a venue like this auction, outsiders were easily ganged up on.
Therefore, the East Sea Gu Immortal and Mu Rong Jin Xiao concealed their presence and chose a private room. Since they were participating in the auction, they naturally had to contact Qin Bai Sheng. Qin Bai Sheng helped them keep their identity secret. Giving them the first private room was also a sign of respect.
"Sha Huang the Immortal Corpse seems unremarkable. But behind him, there is probably a Rank Eight old monster backing him. Furthermore, this Rank Eight great expert is also skilled in refining Gu. Fairy Li Shan probably knows this too. Otherwise, how could he, a mere Rank Six Immortal Corpse, be so close with the dignified Third Boss of Big Snow Mountain?"
Qin Bai Sheng was guessing. To some extent, he was right. Because the one backing Fang Yuan was the Lang Ya Land Spirit, and the Long Hair Ancestor from back then was indeed a Rank Eight Gu Immortal.
"In that case, I will add one hundred and fifty Thunder Sound Leaves." After a moment of silence, Feng Jiu Ge made his move.
Gasps sounded through the hall.
Thunder Sound Leaves were no ordinary thing. They did not exist in the outside world and could only be nurtured in powerful Thunder Tribulations. They were considered the solidified essence of thunder. However, Thunder Sound Leaves were always scarce and precious, and hard to obtain.
This was because ordinary Gu Immortals were already strained enough undergoing tribulations in their own immortal apertures. They had no spare energy to pluck Thunder Sound Leaves in the midst of a Thunder Tribulation. Even if they had the ability, plucking Thunder Sound Leaves required a secret technique.
Therefore, even in Treasure Yellow Heaven, Thunder Sound Leaves were very rare. But now, Feng Jiu Ge had thrown down a full one hundred and fifty of them.
"Hehehe." The East Sea Gu Immortal chuckled softly. "Is Crown Prince Feng so stingy? The list clearly states that two hundred and eighty Thunder Sound Leaves are needed."
Pausing for a moment, the East Sea Gu Immortal announced loudly: "I am willing to pay three hundred and sixty Sky Soaring Jades!"
"Sky Soaring Jade, a piece of jade that can fly continuously in the Blue Heaven of the Ancient Nine Heavens."
A buzzing discussion arose once more in the hall.
"This type of jade is extremely spiritual, like birds and beasts, capable of evading capture by external forces."
"Who exactly is the great figure in the first private room? They immediately offered three hundred and sixty Sky Soaring Jades, directly fulfilling the quantity on the list."
In truth, the East Sea Gu Immortal was feeling a secret pang of pain. He had once seized an opportunity, charging into a vast fragment world of the Blue Heaven to explore. He had barely managed to obtain a little over four hundred Sky Soaring Jades, even injuring himself in the process.
Now, in order to compete for the Traveling Unbound Immortal Gu, he was throwing out a large portion of them, creating a heavy and fierce strike.
In his own private room, Feng Jiu Ge gave a cold snort, his expression becoming solemn and serious.
This move by his opponent made him completely understand that the other party had just as strong a desire to obtain the Traveling Unbound Immortal Gu as he did.
Suddenly throwing out three hundred and sixty Sky Soaring Jades demonstrated the opponent's immense power and wealth!
However, who was Feng Jiu Ge?
He was the recognized number one in combat strength among the ten great ancient sects of Central Continent. Although a Rank Seven, he could match a Rank Eight Gu Immortal. Backed by the great sect of Spirit Affection House and after years of accumulation, his foundation was incredibly deep.
If one were to list the Rank Six and Seven Gu Immortals in this auction who could compete with a Rank Eight great expert, Feng Jiu Ge would undoubtedly be the first to be named!
Increase the bid!
Feng Jiu Ge didn't hesitate, bidding again: "I will add ten thousand Starpupils."
Starpupils are also a rare resource from the Ancient Nine Heavens, completely unfindable on the lands of the Five Regions. It is an Immortal Material, produced in the Blue Heaven.
