Chapter 555: Chapter 204: Ziyu Master, Inverted Five Elements Array, 1,000,000 Expenditure, Small Teleportation Jade Disc_2

"This Golden Core senior is infinitely stronger than late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, naturally, they couldn’t resist."

"Could this be Ziyu Master?

Ziyu Master of the Little Tingyu Tower.

I heard a few days ago that this senior was nearby, didn’t expect them to really be here, and even participate in this Celestial Essence Summit auction."

...

A group of people were discussing, their faces showing envy and awe.

Zhou Changwang’s gaze flickered slightly. Hearing about the Little Tingyu Tower, he vaguely remembered Ziyu Master.

This Core Formation Realm cultivator indeed has a legendary background, initially being just a mortal like Zhou Changwang’s father, Zhou Qiankun, both were innate martial artists.

However, unlike Zhou Qiankun, he was fortunate to possess spiritual root talent, and later met three sworn brothers in the cultivation realm, forming a mutual support group.

The four vowed to support each other, mutually beneficial cultivation, meeting periodically to share insights and opportunities for mutual progress.

Thus, through arduous cultivation, the four of them eventually entered the Foundation Establishment Realm together years later.

The mutual support group also grew as their descendants joined, eventually evolving into today’s Little Tingyu Tower.

Regrettably, due to differences in character and potential, not all of them kept pace. Ultimately, only Ziyu Master successfully reached the Core Formation Realm, while the other three fell one after another.

Yet, because of Ziyu Master, the Little Tingyu Tower flourished, gaining prominent fame.

"Alas, among cultivators, there’s suspicion and distrust, schemes and calculations abound.

Imagining supporting each other wholeheartedly as those four did is extremely difficult.

Hence, the cultivation realm only has one Little Tingyu Tower.

And whether today’s Little Tingyu Tower is the same as the one Ziyu Master created back then is uncertain."

Zhou Changwang sighed silently and then followed the bridge to enter the Lake Island.

Entering the auction also requires a certain credential.

For people like the Zheng Family, the Chen Family, and the Zou Family, being local powers and having deposited a hundred thousand lower-grade spirit stones early on, each possessed a special purple-gold token for the auction.

One token allows four cultivators to enter the auction and provides a private room.

Zhou Changwang’s group naturally lacked no purple-gold token, and all entered successfully.

Upon entering, a sense of openness and clarity naturally arose.

The auction’s interior was far larger than seen from outside.

The decorations, luxuriously splendid yet elegantly simple, ensured clarity and beauty in every corner.

Soon, Zhou Changwang and the others entered a spacious room.

"In the entire Celestial Essence Auction, besides the main hall, there are a thousand such rooms.

As long as the purple-gold token is placed on this circular platform, the array within will sense it automatically, isolating the room completely so no outsider can enter.

If we want to bid, unlike in small auctions, there’s no need to shout out prices.

Just operate on this array platform, and the array power will convey your bid for auction.

These thousand rooms are quite identical; after a successful bid, staff will deliver the item quickly, and once the spirit stones are settled, we can depart or choose another empty room to continue bidding.

Generally speaking, even the organizers find it difficult to determine who bid and won which treasure.

This greatly ensures the safety of bidders, and correspondingly reduces the chance of being robbed after winning an item."

Zheng Ronghua, knowing it was Zhou Changwang’s first time attending the Celestial Essence Auction, gave a detailed explanation.

Zhou Changwang nodded. He had already been informed of this information when he received the purple-gold token from the auction staff.

The entire auction is set to last for three days.

Not many cultivators stay throughout its duration.

Many adjust their attendance based on the catalog of items to be auctioned.

Zhou Changwang and others received the corresponding catalog upon entering and had no plans to stay continuously.

Soon, space trembled.

The auction formally began.

Zhou Changwang exited Zheng Ronghua’s auction room, wandered a bit, and then entered an unoccupied auction room.

Setting the purple-gold token, the room’s array activated.

Thus marking its occupancy, no outsider would intrude, and he could begin participating in the auction.

He then activated the Illusionary Array.

Soon, a hazy light enveloped an area above the room.

Outsiders couldn’t see inside the room, while he could clearly see the graceful figure of a female cultivator in the hall, alongside the first item up for auction.

"Welcome, fellow Taoists and seniors, to our once-in-a-decade Celestial Essence Summit Auction. I am Qin Manlian, the Fupin Hermit of Celestial Essence City..."
