Feng Feiyun didn’t participate in the auction and waited outside for the spirit stones later.
He sold six pieces of jades for higher than the initial appraisal – a total of 1.586 billion spirit stones.
The first one in particular sold for 460 million stones. The latter ones sold for less but still more than their market amount. From this, the high demand became clear.
At the end of the auction, Heavendream revealed that there might be more jades in the next two days. This would attract more blacksmith masters for an even higher profit.
After the auction house took their fees, Feiyun was left with 1,570 wormhole spirit stones. He had fourteen left from last time so his total was actually 1,584. He became quite a rich guy in no time at all.
He wanted to buy more beast souls but was told that Heavendream didn’t have that many fourth-level ones.
“Why? Isn’t this the largest market in this city?” He asked.
“Do you think fourth-level beast souls are that easy to find? Plus, you want the immemorial bloodline ones too, those are even rarer.” Liu Suzi gave him the side-eye.
He nodded in agreement since this actually made sense. It was impressive that they could provide him four hundred right away.
“If you need more, we can gather them from the other cities.” She didn’t know why he needed so many but she considered him an important ally right now. Solving his problems would be beneficial for her as well.
Everlasting wasn’t the only large city on this continent. Back in Crimson Leaf, the largest was the home of the territory lord.
Thus, given Heavendream’s ability, they could get what he needed in just a short time.
“Good, I’ll order 10,000 then.” He smiled.
Thirteenth was scared stiff to hear this and nearly dropped to the ground.
Ninth and Young Lord Yu started sweating. This was a monstrous order that only Heavendream could fulfill.
“Why do you need so many beast souls?” Liu Suzi almost dropped her paper fan.
“Haha, it’s for my merit law.” He smiled.
They exchanged glances and didn’t believe him. What merit law required ten thousand beast souls?
At this point, Eighth, Liu Suhong, and the other geniuses arrived. Feiyun’s group stopped speaking.
“Congratulations, Brother Feng, it seemed that you got so many treasures from the grave and became rich after just one auction. How enviable.” Eighth said with a smile.
Liu Suhong wore a red dress; her cheeks slightly red. She had a flame surrounding her, looking like a fire spirit: “Seventh Sister, seems like you got lucky this time. This money should be enough to please some of the old men, I am quite impressed.”
“It’s not my money.” Liu Suzi smiled.
“Haha, it’s no problem for you to take it from a half-demon.” Liu Suhong said, not caring about Feiyun being around.
In her eyes, he was a lowly slave. His money would eventually become Liu Suzi’s.
He didn’t mind at all and watched on the sideline, happy to see fierce competitions between these geniuses.
“But let me remind you to not get too close to a half-demon. It doesn’t matter how brilliant they are, they can’t reach the Heaven’s Emergence realm. Don’t waste your time with someone who has no future.” Liu Suhong went on.
Feiyun’s smile slightly soured after hearing this.
“I heard Heaven Fairy is coming to the Void Paradise tonight, many geniuses will be there. Are you interested in coming?” Eighth asked.
Ninth and Young Lord Yu’s expression changed after hearing about this female cultivator.
“We certainly can’t miss it if she’s gracing Crimson Leaf with her presence.” Liu Suzi said.
“Then we’ll be waiting for you there, Brother Feng too!” Eighth and his entourage left.
Once they were long gone, Liu Suzi and Ninth’s expression darkened.
“Eighth is teaming up with the first princess, looks like they want to defeat all competitors and solidify their successor spot.” Ninth said seriously.
“I’m sure they have other allies coming as well.” Liu Suzi responded.
Ninth nodded in agreement and took a deep breath: “I’m sure Huang Tian and Murong San will be there tonight.”
“Tonight will be fun.” Young Lord Yu smiled.
All of these medial clans had been around for a long time. Their geniuses teamed up to fight against their competitors. Alliances were crucial in order to win.
Feiyun rubbed his nose and said: “I’m more interested in this Celestial Fairy, who is she?”
“I’ve never met her in person before.” Young Lord Yu said.
“This is her first time visiting Crimson Leaf. Rumor has it that she’s the most gifted from Void since the immemorial era. She’s quite close to catching up to Aquamoon Saintess.” Ninth revealed.
“I thought you weren’t interested in beauties, Half-demon Feng.” Liu Suzi brought this up again.
“You’ll find out one day.” To which he responded.
“Celestial here is actually her first name. Fairy is because she’s the most gifted.” Suzi said.
“You need to be careful, people from Firmaments and the twelve domains might come tonight.” Ninth said seriously.
The group left Heavendream and dispersed. They clearly wanted to prepare well for the banquet tonight by communicating with their allies.
The only ones left behind were Feng Feiyun and Liu Suzi.
“Why are you heading towards the gate?” Liu Suzi coolly followed Feng Feiyun, seemingly pondering about something.
“To meet someone.” He said, wanting to greet the half-demon experts.
Half-demons weren’t allowed in the city so he needed Liu Suzi’s permission.
He thought that they would send two sixth-ranked half-demons but once he got to the gate, he saw two seventh-ranked half-demons – Lord Kong Hou and Lord Fu Ying.
Liu Suzi glanced at him and shook her head: “Why are you so cautious, as if anyone will do anything to do you when I’m around.”
“I’m cautious because of you.”
She glared at him before returning to the city. Feiyun and the two half-demons followed her inside.
Night fell a while later. The city was rather cold with snowflakes falling down.
The streets and “flower paradises” in the city became filled with cultivators.
One was especially crowded – it had a plaque with the character “Void” above the entrance.
