Chapter 594: The Auction Hall of the Main Plane

The city where Ye Feng and the others were located was called Datong City, meaning that all roads lead there.
In fact, even with Ye Feng’s space teleportation ability, it still took him two full days to reach the nearest city. It wasn’t that the teleportation ability didn’t work—it was simply that his cultivation level was not high enough. There were no levels for such abilities; they only depended on the user’s cultivation level.
When returning, it wasn’t as troublesome. He just needed to designate a point in this city before leaving, then teleport back in the blink of an eye. However, this kind of teleportation consumed a great deal of energy. If his energy was insufficient, the teleportation would fail automatically, preventing him from returning.
Ye Feng and the others were also fortunate. The city where the teleportation point was located was very close to Longquan City, one of the six most popular cities in the entire star realm. With his space teleportation ability, it should take him three and a half days to reach there.
Long Tian did not recommend that Ye Feng go to Longquan City right away, as that place was indeed full of mixed elements. For Ye Feng, whose cultivation level was only at the Star Sea level, such a place was like an ocean, and he was just a fish or shrimp in it, potentially being devoured without leaving a trace.
His suggestion was for Ye Feng to go to Anping City first, which was also a relatively bustling city and much safer.
But Ye Feng did not follow his advice and chose to go to Longquan City instead. His intention was clear—he wasn’t afraid of dying, and he wanted to see just how powerful the true strongmen of the main plane really were.
Long Tian and the others stayed in Datong City, hunting beasts and aliens outside the city every day to hone their skills, as well as to obtain items for auction.
Three and a half days later, Ye Feng arrived in Longquan City as planned.
Once inside the city, Ye Feng realized that this city, rumored to be extremely bustling, was not much larger than Datong City—perhaps only one-third larger, if that. This was slightly different from what he had expected.
Inside the city, Ye Feng also noticed that the population density here was indeed much higher than that of Datong City, probably four or five hundred times greater. Moreover, there were almost no ones with a cultivation level below Star Sea level, while those at the Star Domain level were countless. As for those with even greater strength, Ye Feng couldn’t detect them, nor did he know how many there were. But he knew that the total number of those at the Star Cloud level in the entire city was less than 10,000. The number of strongmen at his own Star Sea level was only four or five million.

At this point, he finally felt as if he were a tiny fish or shrimp in the vast ocean—his existence was so insignificant that anyone he picked from the crowd had a higher level of cultivation than him. He immediately sensed pressure.

Following the signs, Ye Feng quickly found the location of the auction hall. He wondered in himself whether Datong City had adopted this practice of placing signs by the roads from here.

At the entrance of the auction hall, Ye Feng was stopped by two guards.

“It’s not auction day yet; we only accept guests who come to deliver items for bidding. The auction will officially begin in two days.”

“I know. I’m here to deliver an item for bidding,” Ye Feng said, nodding at the two men. Their cultivation levels were both at the Star Domain stage, which surprised Ye Feng somewhat.

“Very well, then please follow me!” The two men finally removed their hands from blocking Ye Feng, and one of them led him inside.

They escorted Ye Feng through a corridor into the inner hall and introduced him to a young woman at the counter on the right. “This guest has come to deliver an item for bidding. Please register him first, then take him in!”

After saying that, the man turned and left, while the woman smiled at Ye Feng. “May I ask what your item for bidding is?”

“It’s a Peak Spirit Treasure!” Ye Feng had already decided what to sell this time. The most powerful Spirit Treasures were too dangerous—using them with his current strength could easily attract trouble. A Peak Void Treasure was much better and could fetch a high price as well.

“A Peak Spirit Treasure???” The woman was stunned. In the Star Realm, Peak Spirit Treasures were the strongest equipment after the most powerful Void Treasures. And throughout the entire Star Realm, there were only a few powerful beings who possessed the highest-level Spirit Treasures. A Peak Spirit Treasure was enough to draw competition from many Star Domain-level strongmen.

“Is there a problem?” Ye Feng asked worriedly, seeing the woman’s sudden change in expression.

“May I ask what type this Peak Spirit Treasure is?” the woman asked while taking notes.

“It’s a palace-type!” Ye Feng naturally knew that among Spirit Treasures of the same rank, palace-type ones were the most valuable. Of course, he would choose to sell the most expensive one.

“A palace-type!!!” The woman almost screamed. Usually, palace-type Spirit Treasures were about fifteen times more valuable than those of the same rank, not to mention Peak Spirit Treasures.

That palace of the Asura was of the Peak Spiritual Treasure level, with defense capabilities ranking third among all Spiritual Treasures in the entire star realm. Ye Feng, of course, was unaware of this. Otherwise, he would never have sold such a Peak Spiritual Treasure; it was almost equivalent to selling a top-tier Void Treasure. He only thought that Peak Spiritual Treasures in the form of palaces could be sold for more than ten times the price of other such treasures, completely not realizing that they were on par with the highest-grade Spiritual Treasures in the star realm.

“May I take a look first?” The woman looked at Ye Feng nervously. She had never seen a Peak Spiritual Treasure in the form of a palace in her life, so she was naturally excited to see one up close. Of course, this was also part of her job—before guiding the client to the appraiser, she had to check whether the client truly had what they claimed.

“No problem, just a moment.” Ye Feng turned around, pretending to put his hand in his pocket, while actually sending his spiritual energy into the Void Realm.

“I want to use the free exchange privilege to get a Peak Spiritual Treasure in the form of a palace.” After becoming a level-2 owner of the Void Realm, this was the first time Ye Feng used the privilege to obtain an item of the same rank as what an owner could have. This privilege could only be used once every ten days, and only one item could be exchanged at a time. Since Ye Feng didn’t intend to spend domain energy to buy this item, he simply used the privilege for the exchange.

The items obtained through free exchange were unbound, just like how Ye Feng had previously exchanged many chocolates, coffees, teas, etc., for free in the First Domain—items that anyone like Pearl could use. Even though he was exchanging an item of the same rank now, it was still unbound.

“The free exchange privilege has been used successfully. One Peak Spiritual Treasure in the form of a palace has been obtained. The free exchange privilege cannot be used again in the Sixth Domain within ten days.”

All of this was conducted through mental communication. It seemed to take a long time, but in reality, it was just the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng took out the palm-sized palace he had just exchanged, which had been reduced in size by countless times. Then he turned around and handed it to the woman.

“How beautiful!” The woman couldn’t help but exclaim. After examining it carefully, she awkwardly led Ye Feng to the entrance of an appraisal room after a while.

“Old Chen is the best appraiser here. Although he has never handled a Peak Spiritual Treasure in the form of a palace, he has dealt with many other types of Peak Spiritual Treasures,” the woman whispered, “But his temper is a bit peculiar…”

“Hmm, thank you!” Ye Feng nodded and stepped into the appraisal room…
