Chapter 615: A Gathering of Powerhouses

Eleven days remained until the end of the auction, and it was also the day before its conclusion. Ye Feng finally waited for the auction of that peak-level spiritual treasure related to ships.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer Li Jingjing also seemed excited. “The first item up for auction today is something that has never appeared in this entire galaxy before—and it’s also an item that can save lives…”
Hearing these words, the crowd immediately became agitated.
“Could it be a top-tier palace-type spiritual treasure?” people discussed among themselves.
“That’s impossible. If it really were something like that, the auction venue would surely be advertising it like a second-class divine skill,” someone immediately replied.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng guessed it was his own peak-level spiritual treasure related to ships—after all, such an item had indeed never appeared in the galaxy before, and it could save lives.
As expected, Li Jingjing soon revealed the answer. “Today, everyone here will witness the ownership of a peak-level teleportation spiritual treasure!”
The red curtain was pulled back, revealing an object shaped like a ship. It was only the size of a palm, but since the attendees were all powerful figures in the galaxy, they could see it clearly.
“It’s actually a peak-level spiritual treasure related to ships!” exclamations came from the crowd.
“There are indeed some teleportation spiritual treasures in this galaxy, but none have reached the peak-level category, let alone being a ship-related treasure—one of the most valuable and practical types among teleportation treasures,” Li Jingjing promoted enthusiastically. “The starting bid for this peak-level treasure is not high: five million star crystals. Each increase must be at least two hundred thousand. The auction begins now!”
“Ten million!” A bid shocked everyone. The voice clearly came from the VIP room. They had heard such mechanical voices many times over the past ten days. Looking up, they realized it was the bid from VIP Room No. 1, which had already risen to ten million. Such a large increase clearly made many who were about to bid give up.
Any movement inside the VIP rooms was invisible to the outside world. To make a bid, one only needed to press a button, which would automatically emit the voice. The same female voice was used for bids in each VIP room, which also prevented outsiders from guessing the identities of the VIPs based on their voices.
Ye Feng glanced at the footage and audio from VIP Room No. 1, transmitted by Luo Yan.

The old man was staring excitedly at the peak-level spiritual treasure he had put up for auction on the auction platform. “It took me a long time to find something valuable to give as a gift to my only grandson. With this peak-level spiritual treasure, his safety will be much better guaranteed from now on.”
“Yes, the young master will surely like it. And with this item, he won’t have to worry about safety wherever he goes. It’s a win-win situation,” said a Star Universe-level powerhouse behind the old man, nodding in agreement.
“So it’s to buy a gift for one’s own grandson…” Ye Feng smiled. “This family is quite extravagant.”
“That’s not surprising. This old man is already at the peak of the Pseudo-Empty level and is surely one of the top figures in the entire star realm. His family’s territory must be vast, with extremely rich mineral deposits. Someone like him could easily afford hundreds of billions of star crystals,” explained Long Tian, who also knew a bit about things in this primary main plane, though he wasn’t sure exactly who this old man was.
After a brief pause, someone below immediately raised the bid. Clearly, ten million was a sum many could afford. In just a few breaths, the bid had reached twelve million.
“Twelve million two hundred thousand!”
“Twenty million!” The VIP Hall No. 1 raised the bid again, clearly trying to scare off other bidders with such a large increase.
At that moment, VIP Hall No. 8 stepped in. “Twenty-five million!”
Ye Feng turned his gaze toward the screen of VIP Hall No. 8. It was a burly middle-aged man. Just by looking, Ye Feng could tell his fire attribute powers were extremely strong. But there was only one person following him—a young man who seemed quite young, with highly muscular arms even thicker than the middle-aged man’s.
“Master, do we really need to buy this peak-level teleportation spiritual treasure?” the young man couldn’t help but ask.
“That’s right. Among the peak-level spiritual treasures I can create now, only teleportation is missing. I must buy this one and study it thoroughly,” the middle-aged man said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. “Given enough time to master teleportation spiritual treasures, the next step will be for me to create the most powerful spiritual treasures.”
Ye Feng was stunned. He didn’t expect these master-disciple pair to be master craftsmen. The middle-aged man could already create peak-level spiritual treasures—truly a genius.
“Lao Luo, what level of cultivation do these master and disciple have?” Ye Feng couldn’t help but ask.

“That middle-aged man is at the early stage of the Pseudo-Empty level, while that young man is at the late stage of the Starry Universe level.” Luo Yan glanced at the scene Ye Feng was pointing at. “However, their cultivation methods are rather peculiar, which makes their auras extremely subdued.”
“Those who can craft peak-grade spiritual treasures are definitely not ordinary people.” Long Tian also looked at that scene. “Moreover, according to what that middle-aged man said just now, only transmission-type peak-grade spiritual treasures haven’t been crafted yet. That means he has successfully crafted more than one peak-grade spiritual treasure, indicating he has great talent in artifact crafting.”
While Ye Feng and the others were observing this scene, bidding continued below.
The two VIP rooms fell silent for a moment, before the price of that ship-type peak-grade spiritual treasure in the auction hall quickly soared to 50 million.
At this point, VIP Room No. 1 bid again, “80 million!”
“100 million!” The master and disciple in VIP Room No. 8 clearly had no intention of lowering their bid.
“200 million!!!” Before the people below could react, VIP Room No. 1 seemed to go all in, doubling the price in one go.
The crowd in the auction hall was instantly in uproar. A price of over 100 million for that ship-type peak-grade spiritual treasure was enough to make most people back down, let alone 200 million—no one below dared to bid any more.
“300 million!” VIP Room No. 8 seemed unwilling to compromise and raised the price again.
“Damn it, who exactly is in VIP Room No. 8?” The old man in VIP Room No. 1 showed a fierce expression.
“Master, there’s no need to raise the price any further. This item is worth at most 200 million—after all, it’s just a peak-grade spiritual treasure. Anything over 100 million is already the price of top-tier spiritual treasures,” advised an old man who appeared to be a butler.
Glancing at the butler beside him, the old man sighed slowly. “Alright, Uncle Luo. I’ll follow your advice and let them have it. But we must find out who’s in VIP Room No. 8.”
“Understood!” The butler replied, and the atmosphere once again grew quiet.
“Huh…” Luo Yan let out a surprised exclamation. “That guy who looks like a butler actually has the peak level of the Pseudo-Empty level. He hid it so well, showing only the peak level of the Starry Universe level. Even I was deceived.”

“No wonder that old man was so polite to his butler.” Ye Feng had been wondering why the old man would be so courteous to his butler given his own cultivation level; it turned out that the butler’s cultivation level was no less than his own. However, this made Ye Feng even more curious about the old man’s true identity—after all, not only was he at the peak of the Pseudo-Empty level himself, but so was his butler.
