Chapter 1830.2: Despicable

The auction was held in a building called the Wind and Cloud PaG.o.da.

“Yun Yi is here too.” Lu Yun and Lu Feng sat across from each other on the highest floor of the paG.o.da and observed the proceedings through a water curtain. Lu Yun glimpsed Yun Yi among the crowd.please visit ?re?w??n?ѵ??.?om.

The man’s replica continued to hunt down Chu Xingran and Xie Tianxun in the Firmament Prison. It was his primary body here.

There were no private rooms or tables for distinguished guests in this auction house. Everyone sat in the void, regardless of their status. While fighting was allowed in the major world, one could not kill another for their goods. The aggressor would be expelled by the heaven and earth of this major world and eternally banned from entry.

They would also be pursued by many factions outside.

This was a place to do business and grow rich peacefully. While there were snake oil salesmen and those who forced customers into a purchase, as well as frequent bullying, one could not kill someone for what they held.

Thus, the auction house couldn’t be bothered to create any special seating. They were all here to do business, so why the mystique? Customers could still kill each other for their goods after they left the major world, so it was better for one to not even bid on something if they didn’t have the strength to keep it.

“Come on, come on, he won’t dare do anything here.” Lu Feng sprawled on a large cus.h.i.+on made from the fur of an unknown exotic beast. A smile hung on his face as he enjoyed a ma.s.sage from the maids.

“Weird, you’re not that much older than me, so how are you able to build such a large auction house?” Lu Yun didn’t quite understand it. He was here for the show and to witness what things were like in the chief worlds.

Compared to them, the fourth realm was indeed a remote backwater in the middle of nowhere and forgotten by existence itself.

“Time flows differently in the chief worlds compared to the fourth realm. It didn’t exist in the Hongmeng and chaos before, so the realm was a buffer. And since I’m a s.p.a.cetime traveler, I can travel wherever I want without causing karmic repercussions.” Lu Feng thought for a bit. “I’ve been in this outside realm for a billion years and I exceeded supreme in other eras. I don't know how long it’s been since those eras. A hundred billion years? One trillion?”

Lu Yun: ……

“Life is boring if it is filled by only cultivation. We are also limited in what we can do if we’re not in our own time period. Everyone will hunt us down if we run afoul of certain taboos, so us s.p.a.cetime travelers move around only to cultivate or establish factions like the Wind and Cloud PaG.o.da.

“For instance, I traveled back a billion years to establish the paG.o.da and auction house, then put the modified Lifeline Talisman up for sale. With that accomplished, I traveled back to the present.

“The Wind and Cloud PaG.o.da continued to earn money for me over the past billion years, making me the richest person in the chief worlds. Yet to me, a billion years pa.s.sed by in the blink of an eye.

“Since I’m a s.p.a.cetime traveler, I am the only constant in s.p.a.ce and time. I don’t get tangled up with the karma of time, so anything I establish won’t affect the development of time. Everything is set in stone. The Wind and Cloud PaG.o.da was supposed to appear during that period and so was the modified Lifeline Talisman.”

He snickered when he saw Lu Yun’s dazed expression. “But this ability only spares me from the karma of time. I am still affected by the karma of life, so if I do whatever I want and change certain things, there will come people to take me out and set things right.”

Lu Yun ma.s.saged his aching temples, he didn’t want to talk about the s.p.a.cetime travelers anymore. He was regretting ever asking.

“Do you really think an initial rank Resurrection Talisman is worth a heaven and earth ancestral vein?” Lu Yun asked worriedly.

“It might not after a while, but it definitely is at the moment!” Lu Feng nodded at his brother’s change in topic. “The various factions of the chief worlds want nothing more than a replacement for the Lifeline Talisman now that you’ve dismantled it. They’re panicking and frantic, but once everything settles down and they regain their calm, they won’t pay that kind of price for the talisman anymore.

“This is our only chance to rake in ancestral veins for the Resurrection Talisman. Are you sure no one can duplicate it?” Lu Feng had tried to craft a Resurrection Talisman himself, but all of his experiments failed. When the Lifeline Talisman was mainstream, there were so many experts in the chief worlds that some secrets had been revealed about the modified version. Hence, Lu Feng had no objections to Lu Yun ruining it.

“The Resurrection Talisman is actually a type of combat art that no one can recreate unless they know one of my combat arts. So far, only my disciple Tianqi and I know it.”

The Resurrection death art came from the Tome of Life and Death and Tianqi also cultivated the Method of Life and Death. While he wouldn’t obtain any death arts from the treasure, Lu Yun could teach them to him.

“Then I’m rea.s.sured. If those major factions can’t read anything into the Resurrection Talisman, that means the price will stay high for a while longer,” Lu Feng sighed with relief. “Are you planning on visiting the ruins of the Firmament Prison as well?”

“Mmhmm,” Lu Yun nodded. “Ruina is unable to meld into the origin h.e.l.l if the Firmament Prison isn’t also present. Chu Xingran and Xie Tianxun are trapped by Yun Yi’s replica, so I have to go help them.”

“Alright then, I won’t stop you. But I’m also not going with you!” Lu Feng nodded, then shook his head.

“I wasn’t planning on asking you to,” Lu Yun rolled his eyes. “Let’s split the ancestral veins you get. Send my share to Fairylands and give it to Qing Yu and the little fox.” He rose to his feet.

“Are you leaving?” Lu Feng blinked.

“Yun Yi’s discovered my presence. If I don’t leave now, I won’t be able to after the auction ends.” Lu Yun thought for a moment and added, “If I still haven’t reached the Firmament Prison after the one hundred million talismans have been sold, sell another one hundred million! I’m sure no one will turn you down.

“Hang on, sell some invitations to the next auction once this one ends. Only those with an invitation have the right to partic.i.p.ate in the next auction. Of course, they’ll need to pay an entry fee then as well!” Lu Yun’s eyes darted around in rapid thought. “Only ancestral veins are accepted for the entry fee!”

He was sorely tempted by the potential riches after he saw that one initial rank Resurrection Talisman could be sold for at least ten heaven and earth ancestral veins.

“That’s… that’s just despicable. Charging them twice to attend?” To Lu Feng, it seemed like “swindler” was written across his brother’s face.

“Pfft, there is no other location than this auction house that has these talismans. They can buy them here, or not.” Lu Yun smirked. “We won’t limit the number of attendees next time, but whoever doesn’t make a purchase can get out of here!”
