Lin Feng sat on his seat. Silently, he sensed the countless spiritual thoughts in the space.
This kind of communication was mostly messy and disorderly. It happened between rogue cultivators, but they had to borrow the light around the small planet in the Heavenly Trade Pavilion's grotto-heaven. It could block others from probing with their spiritual energy and prevent their identity and cultivation from being exposed.
Trading and displaying were not one-on-one. Instead, many divine wills interweaved together to display the dao techniques or divine abilities or treasures that they wanted to trade. At the same time, there were also many people who were interested in a dao technique or a treasure.
These spiritual thoughts gathered together and turned into a small consciousness space.
Unless someone spoke, because of the light around the small planet, Lin Feng couldn't distinguish the origin of each spiritual thought.
But he didn't have the intention to kill and rob, so he was happy to relax. He chose a consciousness space with the most spiritual thoughts and entered it.
What entered his eyes was a vast expanse of whiteness. In the center of the white light, there was a rock. The surface of the rock was dug out, and in the pit was a Buddha statue.
The Buddha statue sat on a lotus and a full moon. Below it was a throne carried by eight peacocks. Its right hand held a lotus and its left hand held a bell. There was no sadness or joy on its face. Its entire body was bright and full of power.
Lin Feng's heart moved, "This is … Amitabha?"
At this moment, in the consciousness space, an old voice said, "This is a Buddha statue passed down from the Great Thunderclap Temple. It contains the true meaning of Amitabha's Dharma. It is a pity that I am not fated with Buddha and cannot comprehend its mysteries."
"I will take it out today. There is no need to bid, just set the price at eighty yellow talisman coins. If anyone wants it, they can take it. If there is more than one person who wants it, I will not increase the price. Whoever can resonate with the Buddha statue can take it away."
Someone said, "I can indeed feel a trace of Buddha nature from the Buddha statue. But that is all. There is no Buddha power, Dharma, nothing. Eighty yellow talismans is too high."
The old voice said lightly, "Eighty yellow talismans, no bargaining. If no one wants it, I will keep it for myself."
Silently, Lin Feng also observed the Buddha statue. After a long time, he shook his head regretfully. This Buddha statue indeed had the pure Buddhist nature of incense. It should be a genuine product of the Big Leiyin Temple. However, it did not contain any mana or spiritual energy fluctuation.
In this way, there naturally wouldn't be any dao techniques or divine abilities left within.
However, when Lin Feng looked at this Buddha statue, he felt a little uneasy.
The old man selling the Buddha statues was very stubborn. He did not lower the price at all, and many people backed off.
Those who did not hold any hope for the auction and participated in the private transactions were mostly itinerant cultivators. To put it bluntly, they were here to pick up scraps.
Although there were many cultivators of the Golden Elixir Period among them, eighty yellow talismans was still a huge sum of money for them.
Talisman money was a talisman. When a cultivator refined a talisman, it was fine if it was a low grade talisman, but a talisman that was at the same level of one's cultivation couldn't be casually drawn, and it required a large amount of time and energy. Not to mention the talisman paper and talisman ink were an expense.
Looking at these rogue cultivators bargaining, Lin Feng thought to himself.
The foundation of a large sect was often reflected in some small aspects.
For example, large sects like the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, the Yu Clan, and the Heavenly Sword Sect, their attention was focused on the auction that was going to be held later.
For them, eighty yellow talismans might not even be considered as a hair from nine oxen.
The disciples of these sects did not need to suffer untold hardships like these rogue cultivators, trying to pick up scraps to exchange for good things, or selling treasures to earn talisman money and cultivation resources.
The disciples of large sects only needed to squat in their cave abodes and cultivate in peace. The mountain caves of large sects were all blessed lands with relatively abundant Spiritual Qi, and there was also a sufficient supply of spirit pills and spiritual medicines. It was absolutely guaranteed to be sufficient.
And these cultivators who mingled here were all old foxes who had cultivated for decades. Perhaps they had some savings, but they ran around every day, relying on their own hands to search for cultivation resources, wasting a lot of time in vain. They cultivated with twice the effort for half the result.
There was no lack of experts among the rogue cultivators, and there were even some Primordial Spirit cultivators who lived freely in the mortal world. However, if a rogue cultivator wanted to live a comfortable life, he or she had to at least be at Miao Shihao's level. If a rogue cultivator with a low cultivation did not have a good master, his or her life would be very difficult.
"My sect still has a long way to go." Lin Feng thought to himself.
At this moment, the sale of the Buddha statue finally came to an end. An unknown rogue cultivator finally made up his mind and paid eighty yellow talismans to buy the Buddha statue.
A giant red hand suddenly reached out from the Divine Sense Space and grabbed the Buddha statue at the center of the boulder, before disappearing.
Since the Buddha statue had found a buyer, the Divine Sense Space naturally dispersed.
Lin Feng's consciousness also retreated from the Divine Sense Space, "Why do I feel like I've missed something?"
Frowning, Lin Feng communicated with the Divine God of Battle clone, "Wait at the entrance, see if anyone is coming out from the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion's cave."
After receiving Lin Feng's message, the Divine God of Battle clone paused for a moment. He glanced at the cave that was right in front of him and transmitted his voice to Miao Shihao, "Wait for a moment."
Miao Shihao had just greeted the manager of the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion, Song Fu, who was guarding the entrance. His eyes flickered as he stopped in his tracks and chatted with Song Fu. At the same time, he transmitted his voice to Song Fu, "What are you up to this time?"
"It's hard to say what we'll find now. Let's wait and see." The Divine God of Battle clone replied.
Song Fu glanced at the Divine God of Battle clone in a seemingly unintentional manner, before continuing to chat with Miao Shihao as if nothing had happened.
The Divine God of Battle clone had returned to his initial appearance of a heavy armor. He covered himself up tightly and even put on the helmet that he was wearing before.
His attention was currently focused on the entrance of the cave. Song Fu was mainly there to welcome the guests. Apart from him, a few people were also coming out from the cave. They were all rogue cultivators who had learned something from their private conversations.
"Hmm? It should be him. "The Divine God of Battle clone's heart skipped a beat as he stared at an old man who had just come out from the cave.
The old man was walking in the air with a powerful aura. He was a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.
He came out from the cave and casually tossed a boulder into the air.
Coincidentally, this rock fell in the air in front of Zhu Yi and continued to fall. Zhu Yi almost subconsciously reached out his transcendence energy to catch the falling rock.
The Divine God of Battle clone glanced at Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi inspected the boulder before handing it to the Divine God of Battle clone and said, "Master, there's something strange about the hole in the middle of this boulder."
"It's slightly tainted with the aura of the Buddha statue." The Divine God of Battle clone shared the same mind as Lin Feng, thus they were able to communicate with each other. He immediately recognized that it was the boulder that was used to store the Buddha statue.
The hole in the middle of the boulder was where the Buddha statue was placed.
Now that the Buddha statue had been taken away, only a deep pit was left. The Divine God of Battle clone inspected the surface of the pit and discovered some tiny runes, which seemed to have been left there for a long time.
"These runes look a little strange." Having this thought, the Divine God of Battle clone turned around and glanced at Zhu Yi, "I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here."
As the auction was about to begin, the Divine God of Battle clone did not waste any time. He brought Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, and Miao Shihao into the cave.
Miao Shihao had his own seat in the Skytrade Pavilion. The Divine God of Battle clone brought Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi to a seat near him.
Lin Feng had learned the whole story through the Divine God of Battle clone. He mumbled in his heart, "Xiao Yi's luck is not just for show. There must be something special about the boulder that she tripped over."
As he was immersed in his thoughts, the auction had officially begun. The entrance of the small cave controlled by the Skytrade Pavilion closed and disappeared into the rift.
The center of the cave was surrounded by countless light dots. The place resembling a black hole suddenly glowed and turned into a giant light orb like a star.
A figure slowly walked out from the light orb. It was one of the managers of the Skytrade Pavilion, the Yuanying Realm cultivator Song Fu.
"Everyone, today is the grandest auction held by the Skytrade Pavilion every year. Thank you for coming." While speaking, Song Fu clapped his hands softly. A blue orb floated out from the light orb behind him.
An abundant amount of Water-type Qi was emitted from the orb like an ocean.
However, its aura was slightly ferocious and violent. The aura felt more like the aura of a beast than the Qi of the Heavens and Earth, or the aura of a human cultivator.
Song Fu introduced, "This is the Beast Core of a Scarlet-Eyed Blue Sea Serpent that has reached the peak of the Marshal Beast Realm. This kind of Water-type beast is extremely hot-tempered, and will fight its enemies with its life. It's extremely difficult to obtain its Beast Core.
"This Beast Core has a rich and pure Water-type Qi. Most importantly, it's in perfect condition, without any flaws or damage. It's quite rare."
The buyers on the glowing rocks in the air nodded slightly. A Scarlet-Eyed Blue Sea Serpent that was at the peak of the Marshal Beast Realm, about to reach the Nascent Soul Realm and reach the Emperor Beast Realm. At this level, even if it was killed, it would be in a terrible state.
It was quite difficult to preserve the Beast Core without any damage. Even if the Progenitor of the Yuanying Realm was able to kill it, there was no guarantee that the Beast Core would not be damaged.
The price of the Beast Core was naturally higher. The starting price was eighty green talismans.
Compared to the Buddha statues sold by loose cultivators, the price was at least ten times higher. Furthermore, this was only the starting price. The final transaction price could easily multiply by several times. If someone got angry over the price, they would end up paying an astronomical price.
Lin Feng was not interested in the Beast Core. He had no use for it, and not many of his disciples had any use for it either.
Compared to the Beast Core, Lin Feng was more interested in studying the rock that was related to the Buddha statue of Amitabha Buddha.
Lin Feng was very interested in the runes on the rocks.
Lin Feng's mind was connected to the Divine God of Battle's clone. His mind delved into the runes on the rocks.
He carefully focused his mind to sense the runes on the rocks. He could vaguely sense that the runes seemed to form a portrait.
The portrait depicted a Buddha sitting in the air, surrounded by countless suns, moons, and stars. It was as if all the light in the world was focused on the Buddha.
