Chapter 149: The Origin Planet

The sudden noise startled Dracula, but he quickly realized it was Wu Dao. He turned to look at Wu Dao and asked, “How did you end up here?”
“It should be me asking you that. We stayed at the inn across the way. When I saw you rushing over from the balcony, I hid here. What exactly happened? Have you seen those two guys, Bield and Brand?” Wu Dao looked around but saw nothing unusual; he didn’t understand what Dracula was hiding from.
“Bield and Brand are dead!” Dracula decided not to hide it anymore. “They tried to steal Ye Feng’s ring and were killed by him. I originally planned to take advantage of the situation, but I never expected Ye Feng to be so powerful!”
“Don’t mess with Ye Feng unless you have to. Despite his humble demeanor, his combat skills are enough to easily defeat us. Even during his Golden Core stage, I might not have been his match, let alone now that he’s reached the Nascent Soul stage.” Wu Dao wasn’t ashamed of this at all.
“Sigh, I guessed they wanted Ye Feng’s storage ring as soon as those two left. I shook my head helplessly—this wasn’t the outcome I wanted either.”
“Have you seen where Ye Feng went?” Wu Dao suddenly asked.
“No, I was just trying to escape desperately. How could I pay attention to anything else?” Dracula shook his head, saying he didn’t know. “By the way, regarding this teleportation array, I’ve decided to join your investigation.”
“You joining us is just to seek our protection, worried that Ye Feng will cause you trouble. Since Kuang Xu and I have some acquaintance with Ye Feng, you think by joining us, he might not attack you! Am I right?” Wu Dao saw through Dracula’s motives at a glance.
“Call it whatever you want. Just give me a clear answer—will you join or not?” Seeing that Wu Dao had figured out his intentions, Dracula stopped arguing.
“Let’s work together!” Wu Dao stretched out his right hand toward Dracula…
…
After nearly a day of travel, Ye Feng finally arrived at a city in the north of Bru Star. Through inquiries along the way, he learned that this city, called North, had a teleportation array that led directly to the Origin Planet.
After entering the city, he asked a passerby for the exact location of the array and rushed there immediately.
When he reached the array, the person in charge blocked his path. “Where are you going?”

“Origin Star!” Ye Feng replied truthfully.
“Five hundred lower-grade spirit stones!” The man stretched out a hand.
Ye Feng took out a lower-grade spirit crystal and handed it to him. “No need to look any further!”
The man was slightly stunned. The serious expression on his face instantly turned into a flattering smile as he enthusiastically escorted Ye Feng to the teleportation array. “Senior, please come often if you have time in the future!”
Ye Feng felt a slight sense of emptiness beneath his feet. When his vision cleared again, the scene before him was completely different from before.
Origin Star was clearly several times busier than Blue Star, with crowds flowing everywhere. Ye Feng’s originally gloomy mood improved a bit upon seeing such a lively scene.
He found an inn that seemed to have a somewhat antique vibe and sat down at an empty table in a corner, hoping to hear what people were talking about and see if he could find the information he needed.
All the noisy chatter in the inn reached Ye Feng’s ears, but none of it caught his attention. The men who came here to drink always talked about women and spirit crystals.
Ye Feng recorded all the conversations, and most of them were stories of heroes saving beauties, only to return with both the beauties and spirit crystals. This repetitive pattern made his ears tired. He shook his head in exasperation and chuckled to himself, “If these are really your stories, do you still have the leisure to chatter in places like this? Wouldn’t it be better to go home and enjoy the beauties and spirit crystals?”
Just as Ye Feng was about to pay and leave, a conversation between a man and a woman nearby caught his interest.
“Senior brother, the main goal of this auction is to help Master acquire the last ingredient needed to make the Tribulation-Overcoming Pill—the Immortal Grass! With the Immortal Grass, Master can produce a batch of Tribulation-Overcoming Pills within a month. Then, we won’t have to worry about passing the heavenly tribulation in three years,” the woman said to the man across from her.
“I know that finding the Immortal Grass is our top priority. But the problem is, there are still two days until the auction starts. The list of items up for auction won’t be revealed until after the registration ends tonight. Without that list, we don’t even know if the Immortal Grass is among the items! No matter how anxious we are, we have to wait until tonight!” The young man shook his head at his junior sister.

“A large-scale auction like Origin Star happens once in a hundred years and is almost the best auction in this star region. After all, it has a geographical advantage as a transportation hub with many people coming and going. If there are no auctions here, it’s unlikely that other planets in this region will have them either. We’d have to go to other planets… but Master doesn’t have much time left…” The woman’s expression showed clear anxiety.
“Master will be fine; good fortune will come to those who deserve it!” the young man reassured her.
“I hope so!” The woman bit her lower lip thoughtfully.
After listening to this topic that interested him, Ye Feng stood up, went to the counter to pay, and then left at a brisk pace.
“Auction… sounds interesting,” Ye Feng said with a slight smile. “I might as well take this opportunity to earn some domain value.”
After more than ten minutes of walking, guided by passersby, Ye Feng finally found the auction venue—the Stardate Auction Hall!
“Sir, the auction officially starts in two days. Of course, if you’d like us to handle the auction, please provide the items you want to auction. We have professional appraisers who can estimate their value and determine authenticity.”
“Alright, I’ll entrust you to auction two Immortal Grasses for me!” Ye Feng said to the female attendant with a smile.
