Chapter 1974 - 1956: Are All These Dharma Treasures Up for Auction?
"Give me a list of items for the auction," Lin Feng said calmly to the auction staff. He intended to sweep up some goodies, so naturally, he wanted to see what items were up for auction first.
"Sir, here you go!" One of the auction house staff enthusiastically handed over a list of auction items upon hearing Lin Feng’s request. Then, they added, "Sir, we’ve been preparing for this big auction for a long time. If you’re interested, you might want to register inside the auction house first, otherwise there might not be any spots left when the time comes."
"Alright, let me take a look first," Lin Feng replied casually as he took the auction list. But the moment he glanced over it, he was momentarily stunned. The items on the list were incredibly special, so much so that he almost wanted to shout for joy.
A Heavenly Grade Elixir with a starting bid of five hundred thousand gold, an exquisite Dharma Treasure with a starting bid of three million gold—these prices were simply outrageous. What excited him even more was the auction of Teleportation Spirit Stones, being sold in lots of a thousand, something he hadn’t anticipated encountering.
Yet, his current problem was lacking enough gold. After a brief hesitation, Lin Feng stepped into the auction house, where a staff member immediately approached him.
"Sir, are you looking to participate in the auction? A security deposit of one hundred thousand will allow you to join," the staff member courteously informed Lin Feng. Anyone attending the auction was beyond their ability to provoke, so they were extremely polite.
"Yes, I want to participate, but I also have some items I want to auction. I wonder if there’s still time," Lin Feng responded nonchalantly. His Space Ring held countless Heavenly Grade Elixirs, and if he could auction them off to exchange for items he needed, that would be great.
"Please wait here for a moment." The staff hadn’t expected Lin Feng to have items for auction. After a brief conversation, they quickly went inside the auction house. Delegating auction items wasn’t their decision to make; the Head Steward in charge of this aspect had to be involved.
Not long after, a portly man followed the staff back to Lin Feng’s side. This person was Yan Yu, the appraiser responsible for delegated auctions at the Divine Oracle Auction House. As an appraiser, communication with clients was his primary duty.
"Now, may I know what you wish to auction? Adding items this late can be challenging. If they’re just ordinary items, it might be tough for me to fit them in." Seeing how young Lin Feng was, Yan Yu frowned. Despite Lin Feng’s impressive demeanor, he was just too young. Yan Yu doubted that someone as young as Lin Feng could present anything valuable.
Lin Feng, of course, noticed Yan Yu’s glance but didn’t seem to mind. He calmly said, "Does a Heavenly Grade Elixir count?"
"You wish to auction a Heavenly Grade Elixir?" Yan Yu exclaimed in shock, unable to believe that this young man before him was here to auction such valuable elixirs. Heavenly Grade Elixirs had immense worth, with only six appearing at this auction. How could this young man possibly possess any?
Yet, seeing Lin Feng’s earnest demeanor, Yan Yu realized Lin Feng wasn’t joking. He questioned further, as having one more elixir for auction would undoubtedly be beneficial.
"Yes, you heard correctly." Seeing Yan Yu’s reaction, Lin Feng replied with a smile. He understood Yan Yu’s thoughts but didn’t need to concern himself with them.
"Please, follow me." Having confirmed Lin Feng wasn’t joking, Yan Yu led him deeper into the auction house. Shortly, they arrived in a room, and after closing the door, Yan Yu finally spoke.
"Young Master, there’s no one around. Please bring out the Heavenly Grade Elixir for me to see," Yan Yu said seriously to Lin Feng.
Without saying a word, Lin Feng placed a third-grade Heavenly Elixir—the Revival Qi Elixir—on the table. It was merely a test of the waters. But as soon as he placed the elixir on the table, Yan Yu cried out in surprise.
"The Revival Qi Elixir, how is that possible!"
Being an appraiser, Yan Yu had read about the Revival Qi Elixir in ancient books. The elixir still emitted a unique glow, confirming its authenticity—there was no way it could be fake. The thought that an ordinary-looking Lin Feng could produce such an expensive elixir truly shocked him!
It was known that the Revival Qi Elixir’s effects were quite formidable, capable of healing injuries for Earth Immortal Realm Powerhouses and partially restoring their Yuan Energy. If auctioned now, it would undoubtedly fetch a soaring price.
"Sir, how do you want to auction this Revival Qi Elixir?" Yan Yu asked directly.
"Just like the others, starting at fifty thousand," Lin Feng replied with a smile.
"That certainly won’t be a problem, and I estimate that the auction price for this Revival Qi Elixir will surpass one million," Yan Yu said with great excitement. Normally, they wouldn’t include a single elixir in the auction, but given this was the Revival Qi Elixir, he had the authority to add such an important one into the auction.
"Then there won’t be any problem," Lin Feng responded with satisfaction after hearing Yan Yu’s words and proceeded to take out other seventh-grade elixirs.
Nine Splendors Jade Dew Elixir!
Heaven Profound Life Elixir!
Jade Calming Heart Elixir!
...
One elixir after another was continuously placed on the table by Lin Feng, filling it completely in no time...
Initially, Yan Yu hadn’t even considered such a possibility. But when he witnessed Lin Feng auctioning these elixirs, he was instantly dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected a man who appeared only in his early twenties to offer such significant auction items—it was utterly unbelievable!
Moreover, as Lin Feng continued to fill the table, Yan Yu became speechless. Seeing dozens of Heavenly Grade Elixirs covering the surface, a bitter taste filled his mouth. The auction house had spent almost half a month preparing, managing to collect only six Heavenly Grade Elixirs. Now, Lin Feng had brought out dozens—this was frighteningly valuable.
He couldn’t help but scrutinize Lin Feng, yet he couldn’t detect anything extraordinary about him, leaving him momentarily stumped. After contemplating briefly, he spoke to Lin Feng, "Given the high value and quality of your auction items, may I ask you a few questions on behalf of the auction house?"
"Please go ahead," Lin Feng calmly responded.
"Could you tell me about the origin of these elixirs? Please don’t misunderstand; we don’t wish to get entangled in any issues due to auction items, I’m sure you understand my meaning," Yan Yu carefully explained. Auction houses do sell items, but they won’t auction problem items. Lin Feng’s items were just too staggering, compelling Yan Yu to clarify this point upfront.
"Rest assured, no one will question them, because they were all refined by my master," Lin Feng answered after a brief contemplation, attributing the elixirs to an imaginary master to avert any future problems. In every Cultivation World, there were always some exceedingly skilled individuals living secluded lives.
"What, these were refined by your master..." Yan Yu was stunned by Lin Feng’s explanation, never expecting such an outcome. That this young man’s master was an Alchemy Grandmaster was startling. Even among the four Super Sects, only two had Alchemy Grandmasters. It was unheard of for an Alchemy Grandmaster to lead a Hidden World life!
Could it be...
Suddenly, Yan Yu considered another possibility: the Divine Oracle Dynasty had three individuals capable of refining Heavenly Grade Elixirs among its ranks, and perhaps Lin Feng’s master was one of them. Maybe his master preferred not to appear directly and passed these items to Lin Feng for auction.
With this realization, a heightened sense of caution arose within him, prompting him to say to Lin Feng, "Sir, we’ll accept your auction items. I’ll immediately arrange for someone to process the consigned auction documentation for you."
Having said this, Yan Yu prepared to leave, but before he could, Lin Feng’s voice came, "Wait, I have more items to auction."
"Ah... ah? You have more items?" Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Yan Yu was taken aback and quickly, curiously inquired, not expecting Lin Feng to have more. What kind of items could these be?
Lin Feng didn’t answer Yan Yu but instead retrieved a few Dharma Treasures from his Space Ring. These were treasures he had collected while exploring various ruins—each was impeccable, definitely the finest among Dharma Treasures. Had he not owned two Innate Spirit Treasures, he wouldn’t be auctioning them off.
The reason for auctioning so many was that he had seen a few items on the auction list and, after estimating their prices, decided to auction these exquisite Dharma Treasures. If he missed this chance, he wouldn’t know when he’d come across those items again.
"Are all these treasures for auction?"
Looking at the exquisite Dharma Treasures Lin Feng had just pulled out, Yan Yu almost fainted. Initially, he thought Lin Feng’s elixirs were impressive enough, but Lin Feng proceeded to bring out these treasures. Based on his insight, these treasures were genuine masterpieces; any one of them would command a high price, likely surpassing anything in the auction. He couldn’t comprehend why Lin Feng would choose to auction such premium items.
