Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At Myriad Company on the Heavenly Ancient Merchant Planet, Ye Zhu brought Chu Kuangren to a restaurant owned by the company to meet someone the day before the auction began.
The person they were going to meet was Wan Tian, the Myriad Company’s Young Master.
He was considered a top-notched sky-pride. On top of the wide network the Myriad Company had in the Immortal World, he made many friends and was considered a well-known person in the Interstellar Arena.
Ye Zhu once went to the Myriad Company to buy some cultivation materials, so he knew Wan Tian.
Wan Tian, on the other hand, was curious when Ye Zhu told him he would introduce a friend to him. However, it was rather mysterious who that friend was.
!!
Ye Zhu did not tell him who it was when he asked and said he would know when they met.
That made him even more curious.
“Ye Zhu is a Prodigy, so even if his friend isn’t a Prodigy, he should be an extraordinary person. When we meet later, I must be more prudent and at least leave a good impression on the person.” Wan Tian thought to himself once he arrived at the restaurant’s entrance.
Soon, he came to the restaurant’s lounge that Ye Zhu had agreed on.
He walked into the lounge and immediately saw Ye Zhu. At the same time, he also noticed a figure in white standing by the window with his hands behind his back, which was facing him.
The temperament of the white-robed figure was simply extraordinary. Although he was merely standing, his presence filled the room as if he was the absolute center of the universe.
His back arose a certain yearning in him.
That person must be an extraordinary one!
Wan Tian was not only a Prodigy but also a shrewd businessman.
As a businessman, his observation was not bad. All it took was one glance for him to know the material of the person’s clothes, his dress up, and so on.
The person was wearing clothes woven from the finest Immortal silk and engraved with Daoist patterns. Not many tailors in the Immortal World possess such tailoring craftsmanship…
Every piece of such clothing was a treasure in itself.
Therefore, its value was no less than one hundred thousand Immortal Crystals. Some ordinary cultivators could not afford to buy them even with all their assets.
In that case, the person must be wealthy!
The other crucial things were the person’s white-jaded Immortal Sword and scroll, which reminded Wan Tian of a sky-pride at the peak of power in the Interstellar Arena!
Could it be him?!
Sensing Wan Tian’s arrival, Chu Kuangren turned around and smiled. “Greetings.”
Gasp!
Wan Tian gasped while looking at Chu Kuangren. Then, he gulped. “It really is you!”
He stepped forward quickly and greeted Chu Kuangren with a fist salute. “Greetings, Brother Chu. I’m Wan Tian.”
“No need for formalities, Brother Wan.”
“Brother Ye said he wants to introduce a friend to me today, and I was wondering who that outstanding person could be. I didn’t expect it to be you, Brother Chu,” said Wan Tian.
Wan Tian was indeed surprised.
Although he was a top-notch sky-pride, his power was far from a top-notch Prodigy like Chu Kuangren. Moreover, Chu Kuangren had the backing of the Hundred Academy and Celestial Demon Tribe. Those two forces combined were much more powerful than his small Myriad Company.
Wan Tian thought that if he could make friends with Chu Kuangren, it would only benefit the Myriad Company…
Following that, he became the host and ordered a feast in the restaurant.
At the feast, Chu Kuangren said he wanted to participate in the auction and trade some things, to which Wan Tian agreed without hesitation.
“Brother Wan, I see you’re a decisive person.” Chu Kuangren smiled.
Then, he took out a Yin and Yang Ring, which contained all the things he wanted to sell.
After Wan Tian took the ring and had a look, he almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
“B-Brother Chu, are you sure you want to sell all these things?”
Wan Tian’s tone trembled a little.
The things in the Yin and Yang Ring were too precious!
There were Immortal Herbs, Gilded Immortal Weapons, and even Arch Gilded Immortal Weapons!
Even top-notched sky-prides might not have them!
Any sky-pride who owned them would treasure them very much, yet Chu Kuangren wanted to sell all of them!
“I’m sure. As long as the Myriad Company can offer me a satisfactory price, I’ll sell all these things to you.”
He had obtained the treasures from Huang Yuyi, Loong Zhen, Zhuo Donglai, and other sky-prides.
Some of them were already given to Cao Yun, Wang Chentian, and others, while the rest he kept with him.
Since they were useless to him, he might as well sell them.
“Brother Chu, to be honest, your treasures are very valuable. It is difficult for my Myriad Company to buy all of them.”
Wan Tian pondered for a while before saying, “Brother Chu, if you trust me, I’ll bring them back to discuss with my father and return with a satisfactory response. What do you think?”
“Of course. Do take these treasures with you for a valuation,” said Chu Kuangren.
He was not afraid that Wan Tian would flee after taking the treasures.
Wan Tian was somewhat surprised as he did not expect Chu Kuangren to trust him that much.
However, if he were to think it through, it was not because Chu Kuangren trusted him but because he did not think it mattered.
After all, how would the Myriad Company dare to embezzle Chu Kuangren’s belongings?
Did they have a death wish?
It was with such confidence that Chu Kuangren dared to have Wan Tian take those treasures back with him for a valuation.
“He’s no doubt the most top-notched Prodigy,” Wan Tian lamented while feeling a little envious.
Shortly after, Wan Tian responded to Chu Kuangren, telling him that the Myriad Company was willing to pay three billion Immortal Crystals to buy all his treasures.
Three billion Immortal Crystals…
It was even higher than Chu Kuangren’s estimated amount.
“I thought it would be two billion eight hundred million, but the Myriad Company has offered me three billion. Do they want to befriend me with the extra two hundred million Immortal Crystals?”
Chu Kuangren smiled and did not reject the offer.
The Myriad Company was the largest company in the Immortal World that was responsible of nearly thirty percent of the trade.
Therefore, it was no harm for him to befriend such a force.
Besides, the Myriad Company could help him when he wanted to buy something.
A few days later, the auction held by the Myriad Company began as scheduled, and it was packed with people.
Everyone had a look of anticipation on their faces, hoping they would find something desirable at the auction.
A top-notched Prodigy like Chu Kuangren had a high status. Hence, instead of being in the same space as other ordinary cultivators, he was sipping fine wine in a private room the Myriad Company prepared for him while enjoying the Immortal servants’ service to wait for the auction to begin.
Besides him, some others were treated similarly.
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Immortal Consciousness and wanted to know who those people were.
Unfortunately, those private rooms were surrounded by restrictions, which isolated the prying of Immortal Consciousness.
Chu Kuangren did not take it to heart even though he failed to find out who the others were.
“Let’s see if there’s anything exciting in this auction.”
He, too, looked forward to the auction.
Soon, the auction began.
The first item to be auctioned was a Gilded Immortal Weapon, which looked familiar to Chu Kuangren. It was the treasure he sold to the Myriad Company.
“I see, so they bought the treasures from me and then auctioned them in hopes of selling them for a price higher than three billion. They are no doubt businessmen. That way, they won’t suffer too much of a loss.”
Chu Kuangren smiled and did not care about it.
Lots of items were taken out in the auction, but most did not arouse Chu Kuangren’s interest. That was until an ancient scroll was put on auction.
At that, Chu Kuangren showed a little interest. “Oh, this is…”
