Chapter 476: Xuandu Trading House Auction, Beginning
"With this combat technique, if you later encounter something unknown, you can send a clone to explore. That way, even if danger arises and the clone dies, it won't harm you; at most, only that clone will be white‑purified."
Speaking, Feng Qinger slipped the two scrolls into Lin Feng's bosom.
At the same time, she warned, "I'm giving you these two combat techniques at great risk; when you use them later, try to kill the enemies completely, lest outsiders learn of them."
And Lin Feng stared at the two scrolls in his bosom, momentarily dazed.
He hadn't expected Feng Qinger to take such a huge risk.
She gave him both of the Wind‑Thunder Pavilion's pavilion‑sealing combat techniques.
Nevertheless, he was still quite interested in the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies.
After mastering the technique, one can condense a clone possessing intelligence.
Moreover, these clones can absorb energy to strengthen themselves.
Compared with the Heavenly Demon Puppet, its range is far broader.
However, its quantity is limited.
It cannot, like the Heavenly Demon Puppet, be produced infinitely in a short time as long as materials suffice.
"I'm also quite interested in this Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies scroll; since that's the case, I won't say more and will take it."
As he spoke, Lin Feng's gaze swept over the two scrolls in his bosom.
Finally, his eyes lingered on a silver scroll larger and wider than ordinary scrolls.
This scroll was entirely a dazzling silver.
But upon close inspection, one can notice.
On it, a dense network of tiny red markings covers the surface.
They spread like blood vessels throughout every part of the scroll.
Immediately, Lin Feng stored this scroll in his storage ring.
As for the scroll engraved with the Three Thousand Thunder Moves, Lin Feng returned it to Feng Qinger.
"What are you doing? If you don't master the Three Thousand Thunder Moves to the highest level, you can't learn the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Bodies."
Seeing Lin Feng give back the Three Thousand Thunder Moves scroll, Feng Qinger said puzzledly.
The Heavenly Fire Venerable and Xiao Yixian beside them naturally understood the reason.
A slight smile tugged at the corners of their mouths.
"Hehe, back when I was in Heijiaoyu on the Northwest Continent, at a certain auction house, I luckily obtained the Three Thousand Thunder Moves. So now I've cultivated those moves up to the Three Thousand Thunder realm."
Lin Feng scratched the back of his head and chuckled.
"What? The Three Thousand Thunder Moves scroll that was stolen from the Wind‑Thunder Pavilion decades ago is on you?"
Hearing that, Feng Qinger was momentarily stunned and exclaimed in surprise.
"Never mind, since I'm giving it to you anyway, consider yourself lucky. My teacher once thought that scroll had been sold into the Western Wasteland, and even searched here personally. But it turned out it had already circulated to the Northwest Continent."
Feng Qinger shook her head, speechless.
At this moment, she could only call it fate.
Then she stored that Three Thousand Thunder Moves scroll in her storage ring.
After all, Lin Feng has now mastered the Three Thousand Thunder Moves and no longer needs that scroll.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
At that moment, within the spacious hall, several deep, lingering bell chimes suddenly rang.
The resonant bell chimes spread continuously across the auction hall's sky.
The countless people who had been whispering all stopped in unison.
They collectively directed their gazes toward the flat ground at the center of the hall.
And Lin Feng and the others' gazes did the same.
At this moment, Lin Feng was encircling the two women's supple waists, his focus fixed on the hall below.
Below, the vast auction hall was already packed to the brim.
About one hundred thousand seats were all completely occupied, not a single empty seat.
As the bell chant slowly faded, a Kongjian Jinggu rapidly extended from the flat ground beneath the auction hall.
In the blink of an eye, it formed a prison‑like barrier that sealed the entire ground.
Even the passage beside the ground, used by Xuandu Trading House staff for entry and exit, was likewise sealed.
This was a protective measure.
After all, most people in the Western Wasteland act lawlessly, and thefts at auctions happen from time to time.
Although Xuandu Trading House is the premier firm of the Great Desert of the Western Wasteland, caution is still necessary.
After all, the items presented at each Xuandu Trading House auction are extremely valuable.
If anything goes wrong, Xuandu Trading House's reputation would be utterly ruined.
However, now that this Kongjian Jinggu exists,
even an ordinary Dou Zun strongman would need time to shatter it.
And that time is already enough for Xuandu Trading House's strongmen to arrive for support.
"I truly don't know what surprises this auction will bring me."
Watching the staff passage slowly open below, Lin Feng murmured softly.
Amid a low, rumbling sound of metal shafts grinding, a dark passage gradually appeared beneath the auction hall within everyone's sight.
Then, a plainly dressed, charming woman emerged.
She swayed her snake‑like waist and walked out slowly.
However, the newcomer was not Ji Jiaxin, but another unfamiliar woman.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome everyone to the auction held here at my Profound Capital Trading House. Next, I, this humble girl, will preside over the auction. If there are any shortcomings, please forgive us with your generous hearts.
Speaking, the woman waved her hand.
Beneath the floor in front of her, a solid wood table suddenly appeared.
And from the employee passage beside her, a maid carrying a jade tray walked out right on time.
"From now on, I, this humble girl, will no longer waste your precious time. I announce that the auction of Profound Capital Trading House is officially beginning!"
Having said that, a faint light flickered in the woman's palm.
A wooden hammer suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, it heavily struck the wooden table in front of it.
"Bang!"
As the sound of the hammer striking the table rang out, the crowd outside in the seats all shouted excitedly.
"Next up is the first item of this auction: a sixth-grade pill, the Huangji Pill!"
"This pill is famous throughout the Battle Qi Continent, so there's no need for me, this humble girl, to introduce it further."
"If any guest at the Battle Emperor Realm finds it hard to break through, you should act quickly; otherwise, if you wait a bit longer, you might see others snatch it away, and you'll only be able to watch enviously as they breakthrough."
Having said that, the woman dropped the wooden hammer and shouted loudly: "Huangji Pill, starting bid, one million gold coins!"
"One hundred twenty thousand!"
As the previous speaker's words fell, a man stood up on the auction floor and shouted.
"One hundred fifty thousand!"
However, as soon as the previous speaker called out the price, someone immediately followed up.
