Chapter 667 Auctioning the array blueprint
A week later.
The auction day finally arrived. The Spring City welcomed many guests, the royal clan, martial academy and many big clans came to the spring city to attend the auction.
Feng Yun naturally attended the auction. As dusk arrived, the auction was filled with people.
"Alright everyone, my name is Chu Long, I will be an auctioneer tonight. Foremost, I would like to welcome you all to the Phoenix Treasure Pavilion." Chu Long arrived at the stage and gave a welcoming speech.
"We want to see the proof." At this time, a loud voice sounded in the auction house.
"Yes, show us the proof that you have a real ancient array blueprint. Otherwise, be ready to compensate." The auction house turned noisy as everyone wanted to see the proof.
Fortunately, Lui Mingxia predicted this and made preparations beforehand.
"Silent!" At this time, a man's voice sounded from a VIP Room. It was strong and domineering, which made the auction house quiet. Everyone knew that an expert had taken a shot. The window of the VIP room opened; a middle-aged man came into view.
"That is Elder Song. He came himself."
A few people recognized the middle-aged man and exclaimed. He belonged to the Royal Clan that was the strongest force in the empire. The man looked at Chu Long and said in heavy voice, "Manager Long, it may sound impolite, but we would like to see the proof. After all, ancient arrays are very difficult to find."
Although the man sounded polite, his words were clear. Fortunately, Liu Mingxia and Feng Yun prepared for this event. Chu Long nodded and spoke, "Worry not, we have the proof."
Chu Long took out two scrolls and unfolded, and showed the content to everyone. Naturally, Feng Yun didn't plan to show the complete blueprint, it was a small part. However, it was enough.
"As you can check, this is a fraction of a complete array." Chu Long said.
"Let me look at that." At this time, an old man stepped forward toward the stage.
"Who is he?"
"Don't know, looks like big shot."
"Oh, it's senior Jiange. If Senior Jiange is going to verify, I can be at ease." The middle-aged man gave a respected look to the old man and spoke.
"Senior Jiange, I have heard this name before."
"How could you not know Senior Jiange? He is the best array master in the empire."
"You mean, this is senior Jiange, the Eight Grade Array Master. The infamous number one array master of Black Tortoise Empire."
"He is a highly respected person in the empire, even the emperor gives him face." Not many have known the old man by his face, but they have heard of his famous name. He was quite famous in the empire. He spent his entire life studying formations, and was quite good at it as well.
The old man nodded toward the middle-aged man and walked to the stage, Chu Long naturally heard of this old before. Chu Long handed the manual to the old man.
The old man curiously looked at the manual, he was not much optimistic about these ancient formations. He spent his entire life studying the arrays, whether they were ancient or modern. However, his expression changed slightly when he read the manuals, the further he read, the more astounded he became.
After a few minutes later, the old man faced the crowd and announced, "This looks genuine. This is a blueprint of a Defense Type formation. I can't determine its rank with his half part, but it shouldn't be lower than seventh rank. However, this formation is better than modern arrays as its consumption is much lower."
"Lower, how much." Somebody asked.
"Almost half." The old man replied.
"Half, that is too much. This is amazing."
"Senior, can i start auction now?" Chu Long asked the old man. The old man nodded, "Sure!"
"As you guys heard from the senior Jiange, these ancient formations are better than modern formations, their consumption is low and efficiency is high. Most of them are wide range defense type formations. Each formation is genuine, we can guarantee that."
"Now let's start the auction. The rules are simple, bidding currency will be high grade spirit stones, you can use refining materials if you are lacking spirit stones." Chu Long said as he started the auction.
The auction lasted four hours.
After auctioning the copies of the array formations, Feng Yun and Liu Mingxia earned a hefty amount of money and many rare materials.
"Manager Chu Long, will there be more of these ancient array blueprint?" Before leaving, the old man asked Chu Long.
"Senior Jiange, I can't say for sure. These arrays come from a traveler, he might have more, but I don't know if he's willing to auction them or not." Chu Long said.
"A traveler, can I meet him. I would like to have a chat with him." The old man asked again.
"Forgive me, but I don't think it is possible right now. He is not present right now, I will ask him when he will return to collect his money." Chu Long said.
"Oh!" The old man nodded in disappointment.
One month later, Feng Yun, Yao Shi and Yang Jian once again arrived in Death Qi Mountains. This time, they were going to explore the mountains.
"Feng Yun, are you sure about this? You should know even Divine Profound Realm cultivators could not guarantee their safety inside the evil formation." Yang Jian said.
"Yes, I am very sure. Don't worry, I have made sufficient preparation. No matter which array formation it is, my array flags will break it. Anyway, we can retreat anytime." Feng Yun said in confident tone.
"Let's go to the Death Qi Mountains." Feng Yun said. If they wanted to find the cause, they had to explore it themselves. When it comes to exploration, Feng Yun was fearless. He obtained many opportunities in his previous explorations; he had a feeling that this adventure would be lucky as well. Anyway, he has spirit fire in his body, and the death qi posed no threat to him, and he prepared thousands of array flags.
Yao Shi pondered for a moment and spoke. "Feng Yun, Among the three of us, only you can walk inside the Death Qi mountains freely, as you have Strong Yang Spirit Fire which is the nemesis of Death Qi. You can ignore the Death Qi, but what about the monsters and demonic beasts that reside in the Death Qi mountains." Yao Shi said.
"Yes, thousands of mutated demonic beasts reside in the Death Qi mountains. Due to the excessive amount of death qi, some beasts went through evolution and became mutated demonic beasts. These mutated demonic beasts are deadlier than ordinary beasts." Yang Jian stepped in.
Feng Yun also knew about the mutated beasts; however, he was confident of his strength. "As long as we don't encounter Divine Rank Beast, we will be fine. And I don't think there is a Divine Rank Beast present in the Death Qi Mountains, otherwise the Hell City wouldn't have existed."
"You do have a point." Yang Jian nodded.
"Alright, let's go." Yao Shi nodded.
"Let's search the outer perimeter first." Yao Shi suddenly said. The deeper they walked into the mountains; the thicker death Qi got.
