Chapter 0766: Auction in Two Days

The crowd in the front hall was in agitation, naturally because of the blond young man dressed in the robes of an elder from the Tianfeng clan.
An elder of the Tianfeng clan might not be much in the eyes of Huang Long, but among other godly strongmen, they were beings of utmost respect!
The people in the hall looked at them with envy, awe, and reverence.
When the clan’s elder arrived, all the Tianfeng descendants in the Fengming Trading Firm rushed out and, led by several elders dressed in the robes of high-ranking attendants of the Tianfeng clan, went to greet the blond young man.
This included the women at the front counter.
“Welcome, Great Elder!” The people of the Tianfeng clan knelt down.
The blond young man glanced at them indifferently and said, “Get up.” After that, he headed straight toward the inner hall. Only then did the people of the Tianfeng clan stand up. As soon as they stood, those high-ranking attendants quickly followed behind the blond young man.
Since everyone in the hall showed respect and awe toward the blond young man and stepped aside automatically, Huang Long and his companions at the front counter stood out somewhat, appearing like outliers.
As the blond young man entered the inner hall and passed by the front counter, he glanced at Huang Long and his group.
A formidable pressure washed over them.
Huang Long and his companions remained calm.
When the blond young man saw that his pressure seemed to vanish like it had entered the sea when it reached them, he was momentarily stunned, his eyes showing surprise. Yet he continued walking, passing through the front hall and entering the inner hall.
The Tianfeng descendants behind him glared at Huang Long and his group; one of them even snorted coldly.
Clearly, they had seen how Huang Long and his group had dared to stare at their Great Elder earlier.
Although those high-ranking attendants did not glare at Huang Long and his group like the Tianfeng descendants, their expressions were also far from friendly.
After entering the inner hall, one of the Tianfeng descendants stepped forward and asked, “Young master, shall we send someone to punish those men?”
Before the blond young man could speak, those high-ranking attendants stepped forward, smiling obsequiously to curry favor.
“Great Elder, we can send someone to handle this right away.”
“Yes, yes! It seems these men are here to do business in our firm. Let’s give them a taste of their own medicine!”
As they all spoke at once, the blond young man said indifferently, “Enough. You don’t need to worry about this. Fengming Trading Firm is a place for business. They haven’t violated our rules.”

“Yes, yes—still, the Great Elder is magnanimous and doesn’t bother with these wretched creatures.”
“The Great Elder is wise!”
The senior attendants of the Tianfeng clan immediately changed their tone, their smiles fading as they bowed low in flattery.
The blond young man remained calm, but his mind was on Huang Long and his companions. Earlier, the fact that they could meet his gaze without retreating under his pressure meant they were all supreme divine warriors. However, he had no clear memory of them—likely not elders from the top ten families of the Hongmeng race in the Hongmeng Realm.
After some thought, the blond young man said to a Tianfeng disciple behind him, “Have someone secretly investigate their backgrounds. Remember, just find out who they are!”
The Tianfeng disciple understood and replied respectfully, “Understood, young master!” But he wondered why the young master was giving such careful instructions—what was so special about those people? He hadn’t noticed anything unusual just now!
It was no wonder he hadn’t seen anything, as Huang Long and his companions had concealed their auras.
While the blond young man was talking with those Tianfeng disciples and senior attendants in the inner hall, Huang Long’s divine ears heard everything clearly. Retracting his divine ears, he sneered.
The Great Elder of the Tianfeng clan? If Huang Long remembered correctly, that Great Elder was the son of Bruchi, the god-king of the Tianfeng clan!
Only after Wei Lie entered the inner hall did the Tianfeng clan disciples return to their posts. A while later, the purple-haired woman who had been in charge of investigating the thirty-odd materials needed for the Supreme Divine Elixir said to Luos, “I’m sorry, sir. According to our supervisor, the only material available is stone essence. A few days ago, an elder from one of the clans brought it to sell to our merchant guild. But that elder insisted on an open auction, which will take place in two days at our auction hall.”
Only stone essence?!
Yet Huang Long wasn’t disappointed; instead, he was pleased. After all, he knew how rare these materials were, and he hadn’t expected to find them all at once.
Jinyu was in the Demon Realm, and now there was news about stone essence—so only thirty-two materials remained! Huang Long thought to himself.
Luos glanced at Huang Long, who nodded.
“Then fine, we’ll come back in two days,” Luos said.
The purple-haired woman nodded with a smile.
After leaving the Fengming Merchant Guild, Huang Long and his companions visited several other large merchant guilds on Tianjie Street in Hongmeng City, but found nothing. However, he had expected this outcome, so he wasn’t disappointed.
Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Fengming Merchant Guild’s inner hall…

Wei Lie frowned as he looked at the list in his hands and muttered to himself, “Golden Jade, Jade Spirit, Fire Soul, Stone Essence, Ice-Fire Grass, Sea-Tide Essence Iron, Dark Sea Turtle,…” This list was clearly the thirty-odd ingredients needed to make the Supreme Divine Pill that Lus had intended to purchase from the Fengming Merchant Guild earlier.
In front of Wei Lie stood several senior executives of the Tianfeng clan, bowing respectfully as they reported to him.
“What do these Lus people want all these rare materials for?” Wei Lie raised his head and glanced at them.
One of the senior executives bowed and said obsequiously, “Elder, I think they probably want to brew some pills.”
Some pills?
Wei Lie’s eyes showed confusion. Each of these materials was extremely rare and precious—what kind of pills could they possibly be used to make? He had some knowledge of pill-making himself, but he couldn’t associate any of these materials with any particular precious pill.
“After leaving the merchant guild, did they go to other guilds just to look for these materials?” Wei Lie asked.
“Yes, Elder,” the senior executive replied respectfully.
“Alright, I understand. You may go now.” Wei Lie dismissed them and fell into deep thought. A small Naisi family needed so many rare materials? This only piqued his curiosity even more.
He had already had people investigate Lus and his companions, and they turned out to be from the Naisi family.
“Stone Essence… auction in two days?” Wei Lie’s eyes sparkled. At that moment, his communication token at his waist vibrated. He picked it up—was it a message from his father? After scanning it with his mental energy, his face lit up with joy: “Father says that Felix, the Divine King of the Leipeng clan, has agreed to the marriage!”
