Chapter 126 - Fenghuo Auction?



Chapter 126 Fenghuo Auction?

“I called the three of you here because I would like you to brainstorm and see if there is any way to solve this problem.”

The system had assigned him the main mission to build all the functional buildings needed in his sect.

After those buildings had been completed, he had to recruit the relevant personnel as well.

The building part was not difficult since he had innumerable spirit stones lying in his system backpack.

“Tsk, Master is right. These people are backed by powerful forces. Besides, the pill refiners and the like have basically formed a system. As long as new pill refiners and the like are nurtured, there will be sects that will pay a high price to recruit them,” Dong Mi said.

Although both Dong Mi and Shangguan were born into great families, there were still some differences.

Dong Mi grew up in a merchant family, so it was a given he had seen many things.

“The Lingyun Sect’s current position is still a little awkward,” Jiang Yiming said, “In the Divine Phoenix Region, we are somewhat famous. But in the eyes of outsiders, some people will say that we have only rapidly increased our strength through unjust techniques.”

Everyone nodded. The Lingyun Sect had been down and out for too long

As such, they had lost something that was as important to the sect as their strength, and that was their foundation.

It was something that could not be seen or touched, nor could it be bought with money.

It could only be accumulated throughout the years towards the end.

This was thus one of the dilemmas the Lingyun Sect was facing

Jiang Yiming needed to make the Lingyun Sect into a sect that had a “foundation” in a short time.

Doing so may be harder than cultivating.

“Um, Master, I wonder if you’ve heard of something,” Dong Mi thought for a moment before his eyes lit up.

“Dong Mi, do say it!” Looking at Dong Mi’s expression, he must have thought of a good method to raise the reputation of the Lingyun Sect to another level!

“Wait, my words aren’t right. It’s not an item, but an affair. It’s called the ‘Fenghuo Auction’.”

The Fenghuo Auction?

Other than Dong Mi, everyone was stunned.

“An auction?” Even Jiang Yiming was also a little stunned when he heard this phrase.

“It’s said that the Fenghuo Auction has been held for many years. The main purpose of it is to auction some rare treasures. During the auction, the large factions would sometimes buy some impractical treasures that they don’t even need at a high price just to show their strength and increase their influence.”

Hearing this, Gu Lingfei was first stunned, then wondered if his junior brother, Dong Mi, was a little delusional.

After all, before this, the Lingyun Sect was merely a fifth-rank faction that could not even afford to pay offerings.

The number of spirit stones such an auction required could be said to be unimaginable to them!

Yet, after hearing the news, their Master had a face full of excitement.

“Go on!” His eyes shone.

Jiang Yiming was already very eager.

Even if it was the spirit stones of the highest grade, he had a huge pile of them!

Anything regarding money was not a problem for him at all!

Although their Master had recently produced many things from his possession and had renovated the whole Lingyun Sect God knows when, even if he was rich, he couldn’t just use it recklessly, right?!

“The Fenghuo Auction doesn’t happen every year. It’s usually held once every ten years,” Dong Mi counted with his fingers and said, “This year! There will be another Fenghuo Auction!”

By now, Jiang Yiming had already understood that the Fenghuo Auction was a flashy but not practical event.

The treasures auctioned might be worth a lot, but to the high-rank forces, it wasn’t about the value of the items auctioned, but the competition of their statuses!

This was a game among the high-rank forces, and it was only natural that the Lingyun Sect didn’t know anything about it previously.

After all, this wasn’t something they should be worried about.

“Hahaha! Good! We’ve found a solution without much effort!” Jiang Yiming laughed.

He had to make good use of the Fenghuo Auction!

He could make more if he ran out of spirit stones, anyway. Even if he spent all the spirit stones in his backpack, he couldn’t afford to wait for another ten years!

Dong Mi looked at Jiang Yiming, who seemed like he was confident that this would work.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes as he asked, “Master, are you planning on participating?” “Of course.”

“But Master, forgive me for saying too much, but low-grade spirit stones are nothing in the Fenghuo Auction. Even the high-grade spirit stones are counted in the hundreds of thousands! I heard from my family that a force had spent a total of 300,000 supreme-grade spirit crystals just for its reputation!”

300,000 spirit crystals!! Even for Dong Mi, this was already an unimaginable number. “Tsk, 300,000 spirit crystals?” Jiang Yiming frowned.

“Yes, Master! 300,000! Spirit crystals!”

Gu Lingfei and Shangguan finally came to their senses.

The number that Dong Mi had said had made them dumbfounded.

Spirit crystals! Not spirit stones!

What kind of family or faction was this to be able to have such a huge amount of money?!

Seeing that his Master seemed to have fallen into deep thought, Gu Lingfei actually felt a bit more at ease.

His Master had been acting a little weird recently. If he even had the intention to go to the Fenghuo Auction, he would really have to suspect that someone in the sect had drugged his Master.

“It’s only 300,000. Is that a lot? I had thought those top-tier forces would be able to come up with more, so that’s all they have?” Jiang Yiming scratched his head as he slowly said these words.

“This? Master? 300,000?” Gu Lingfei was still in disbelief.

For the Lingyun Sect, this number was unimaginable!

“Don’t worry, Lingfei. Help me find out when the auction will start,” Jiang Yiming waved his hand impatiently.

He didn’t mean to hide his wealth.

He just wondered what his disciples would think if they learned that the Lingyun Sect was now a completely nouveau riche. The three disciples then left the sect’s main hall together.

“You don’t think that Master is going to… wreak havoc at the venue, right?”

“No! Our Master is such an open person! He would never do such sneaky things!” Gu Lingfei shook his head vigorously.

Even though he didn’t understand his Master’s thoughts, they were talking about hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals!

Even if they sold the entire Lingyun Sect, they probably weren’t even worth that much!

“I also feel that Master won’t do such a thing. Master always has a plan and full confidence in doing things. I really don’t believe that master will act recklessly in this matter,” Dong Mi shook his head.
