Chapter 1043 1003: Floating Immortal Mountain Auction

Ghost Wolf City.

As the name implies, Ghost Wolf City was long rumored to be the base of a wolf demon race, but later it was seized by a Human Race expert. The dynasty changed, yet the name persisted until today.

In the Outer Domain of Ghost Wolf City, generally speaking, there are about twenty or thirty cities, among which, although the foundation and overall strength of Ghost Wolf City are not top-tier, they are quite renowned.

In this Outer Domain, the foundation and overall strength of Ghost Wolf City could probably rank in the top ten.

And within Ghost Wolf City, at the Floating Immortal Mountain, the Floating Immortal Pavilion remains bustling as usual.

Floating Immortal Mountain is a top-tier, formidable commercial force across regions in the Outer Domain! Its reputation is even somewhat notable in the Inner Region.

This reputation originates not only from the Pavillion's strong capabilities but also because the name 'Floating Immortal Pavilion' signifies the gathering of various earthly treasures from all directions!

It is known that the outward slogan of Floating Immortal Pavilion is that as long as you have enough Spirit Stones and wealth, you can purchase anything available in the Outer Domain of Qiannan Ancient Kingdom! Anything you want.

This slogan, though somewhat exaggerated, still reflects the confidence and foundation of the Floating Immortal Pavilion.

Moreover, anything sold or traded within the Floating Immortal Pavilion is absolutely safe!

At least, until you leave the Floating Immortal Pavilion, it is guaranteed to be so.

Reportedly, a Primordial Core Realm expert of a top-tier force once fancied a divine artifact but failed to win it at auction and directly clashed with the Pavilion, killing the managers and competitors, seizing the treasure, and leaving arrogantly.

This incident caused quite a stir at the time, shocking many.

Many thought the Floating Immortal Pavilion would let it go, swallowing the loss silently given it involved a Primordial Core Realm presence... However, the eventual turn of events transcended their imagination!

Half a month later, the corpse of that Primordial Core Realm expert was discovered right in front of the Floating Immortal Pavilion's headquarters in Earth Martial City!

Yes! A corpse.

This existence had long stood at the pinnacle of the Outer Domain, yet his demise marked the Floating Immortal Pavilion's prestige with his corpse.

Since then, no matter who, even those big figures from the Inner Region, are all well-behaved within the Floating Immortal Pavilion, and no one dares to ignore their rules, snatch treasures or commit murder in the auction hall...

Also because of this, the Floating Immortal Pavilion has gradually expanded vastly over the past few decades.

Within Ghost Wolf City, the Floating Immortal Mountain where the Pavilion resides resembles a 'worldly transcendent', neither causing trouble nor being troubled by anyone...

And Chen Fei, because he received news of the 'Ghost Luo Leaf', traveled alone across tens of thousands of miles to arrive here.

...

On Floating Immortal Mountain within Ghost Wolf City.

When Chen Fei appeared before the magnificent, imposing building atop this mountain, his expression couldn't help but change slightly in amazement.

The vast architectural mass before him, even at a rough glance, occupied nearly half of the mountaintop in scale!

The towering main structure of the Pavilion had walls over ten zhang high.

The surface of the dark walls glimmered with a cold sheen, and Chen Fei also sensed dense, various potent Spirit Gathering Arrays embellishing the place, making the Spiritual Energy in the air atop the mountain extraordinarily rich and comforting.

"Indeed, ice three feet thick didn't form in a day... the reputation of Floating Immortal Mountain... they indeed know how to do business." Shocked for a moment, Chen Fei shook his head and laughed.

He hails from Earth, and naturally, he is not unfamiliar with all this. Many business-savvy people, companies, and groups on Earth uphold a core philosophy: Customer First!

And now, the entire pleasant external environment crafted by Floating Immortal Pavilion clearly revolves around this core idea of 'Customer First'! It slightly gave Chen Fei a sense of familiarity.

"Ah, it's been a while since I came to this Cultivation World, I wonder how mom and the people on Earth are doing?"

Chen Fei sighed with a shake of his head, clenched his fists, murmured to himself, saying; "Once I solve the trouble in Ghost Wolf City, I must return to check... it won't take long, just wait for me."

"Hillbilly, don't you know you're blocking the way? Get lost!" At this moment, a cold reproach sounded.

Chen Fei's demeanor changed, turning around to find a haughty-looking man in black robes standing behind him.

Behind him stood a group of followers. Among these followers, there was an elder who seemed powerful, his body surrounded by a faint glow, forming a tangible force, giving a sense of immense pressure.

Foundation Establishment True Person Realm Third Heavenly Layer?

As expected of a place like Ghost Wolf City, where chaos reigns and powerful figures abound. To casually encounter someone so arrogant, and yet his attendant is actually of the Third Heavenly Layer of the Foundation Establishment True Person Realm?

Chen Fei's gaze flashed coldly, but upon realizing he was indeed blocking the way, he shook his head and calmly stepped aside.

"Heh heh..." Upon seeing this scene, the arrogant-looking man in the black robe sneered, leading his entourage past Chen Fei and toward the entrance of the Floating Immortal Pavilion Marketplace nearby.

However, after walking a certain distance, he suddenly shook his head, casting a mocking glance at the ridicule behind him, and murmured contemptuously to himself, "Another bumpkin from outside the city? Gee, our Ghost Wolf City is filled with more and more lowly people."

"Young Palace Master, if you find him displeasing, should I resolve him for you?" The elderly man at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm whispered softly.

"Resolve him? Forget it, no need... You can't kill all such people, so best not to waste unnecessary effort—it's pointless."

The arrogant-looking man in the black robe shook his head, speaking with an air of superiority as if he was quite formidable. Then, as if remembering something, he said slowly.

"I've heard there's going to be a Ghost Luo Leaf at today's auction hosted by the Floating Immortal Pavilion. Is it really true?"

"The news came from the inside, so it should be true." The elderly man nodded and said, "Young Palace Master, rest assured. Though Ghost Luo Leaf is indeed precious, it's not very useful to many people, and given our wealth, who do we need to fear?"

"That's true." The arrogant-looking man nodded proudly, a hint of excitement and anticipation floating in his delicate eyes as he muttered to himself, "As long as I can obtain the Ghost Luo Leaf, my 'Ice Jade Demon Soul Technique' will officially advance to the seventh level, and I can conjure the Ice Jade Demon Soul Ghost Image. By then, heh... I must get that Ghost Luo Leaf! Definitely!"

Then they were seen entering the Floating Immortal Pavilion Marketplace.

"Bumpkin? Lowly people?" After they left, Chen Fei watched their figures gradually disappear at the entrance and suddenly laughed, murmuring to himself, "Interesting, if he also wants the Ghost Luo Leaf, then later on, there should be some fun. Heh heh… I hope you won't be digging your own grave."

Finishing his thoughts, Chen Fei shook his head slightly and also headed toward the entrance of the Floating Immortal Pavilion Marketplace.

Upon entering, there was an enormous main road, with many branching paths extending to other directions. Shops lined the way, diverse and bustling, incredibly lively.

However, Chen Fei wasn't interested in those and directly proceeded toward the auction venue deep inside.

Walking all the way, almost half an hour later, the view at the distant end of the street abruptly changed, revealing a gigantic auction building standing atop the Floating Immortal Mountain, very eye-catching.

"Hurry up, the auction has already started!"

"What? It's already started, so fast… Let's hurry, I've heard there's a Silver Pattern Snow Melting Pill being auctioned today!"

"Today's Floating Immortal Pavilion Marketplace auction is the annual grand event. I estimate many extraordinary treasures will appear!"

"So what? We can't afford them anyway. But, watching the excitement isn't bad."

...

The surrounding crowd continuously clamored as they rushed toward the auction venue.

The massive auction venue resembled a giant beast, opening its enormous mouth to swallow the mighty stream of people... but without any sign of congestion.

"The auction has started, huh? I better get inside quickly too."

Hearing the gossip around him, Chen Fei grinned, heading into the auction venue entrance.

Upon entering, the interior of the auction venue was like a stadium-shaped building. It was vast, with numerous seats, and a rough glance suggested the place could accommodate at least thirty thousand people.

At this time, he was fairly late, apart from those esteemed Floating Immortal Pavilion VIPs; otherwise, like Chen Fei, he had to sit casually in the back.

Just then, the elderly man with a thick aura of Spiritual Energy in the center of the auction venue once again spoke calmly. His voice reached everyone's ears.

"We are now auctioning the thirteenth item, a Fourth Grade Low Grade Pill, the Four Mark Snow Melting Pill."

Saying this, the elder waved his hand, and a glowing sphere appeared.

Within the glowing sphere, a palm-sized cold jade bottle floated quietly, with its bottle neck facing the crowd. Clearly visible within was a dragon-eye-sized pill lying silently.

"Starting bid, ten thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

The auction venue stirred in tumult!

"Haha, indeed, the previous news was right; there really is a Four Mark level Snow Melting Pill up for auction! This stuff is unusual!"

"Absolutely, a Four Mark Silver Patterned Pill is exceedingly rare, incredibly precious! What's more, this Snow Melting Pill is a Fourth Grade Low Grade premium pill… But Floating Immortal Pavilion is really fierce, with a starting price of ten thousand!?"
