Apparently, the people from the Imperial Capital Research Institute have learned about the side effects of the Eye of Insight.
Li Weiyang is currently being heavily protected; countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are being prepared into eye drops and eye patches to ensure Li Weiyang’s vision is thoroughly safeguarded.
"So it can’t be the Eye of Insight. The only possibility is that Ye Bai computed it after reading many books."
"Indeed, the Memory Palace talent is terrifying. Sigh, if Senior Sister were still here, she’d probably be an outstanding scholar by now."
A trace of a gratifying smile appeared on Zhang Lingxue’s face, accompanied by a deep sigh. The passing of her senior sister had always been a pain in her heart.
Among all the students she taught, Ye Bai was the most capable, and the one who resembled her sister the most.
Where Li Weiyang had gone was unknown; ever since Li Weiyang was taken back to the Imperial Capital, Zhang Lingxue hadn’t seen Li Weiyang again.
Tenglong Auction House is located within a special Secret Realm.
Ye Bai used the invitation he received from his master to enter this special Secret Realm.
The streets in front of the Secret Realm are bustling with cars and people.
A majestic and ancient-style archway stands tall, flanked by imposing stone lions. The vermilion gates are inlaid with glittering brass nails.
There’s a strong ancient charm.
Beyond the doorway is a long corridor, with carved wooden benches on either side for resting.
At the end of the corridor is the hall, where giant crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, dazzling and casting soft light, beneath which lies the auction platform.
This is Tenglong Auction House, a name that resonates in the Imperial Capital, specializing in auctioning all kinds of rare items. Whether it’s an exceptionally sharp treasure sword or a powerful pet beast, as long as you’re willing to pay, you can find it here.
Here, money can make things happen.
The auction had already progressed to a certain stage; most were yawning, waiting for the grand finale.
On stage, the auctioneer, a handsome young man in a tailcoat, held a small hammer, each strike sparking a competitive fervor.
His words were powerful and he narrated the history, material, and efficacy of each auction item as if recounting epic tales.
Of course, there were items no one was interested in.
Especially from the beginning, when the auction house presented a rusty armor.
Everyone thought it was just scrap metal; even when they used instruments for detection, nothing could be found.
Because treasures usually contain energy, which can generally be detected by instruments.
Ultimately, this auction item failed to sell unless someone offered the minimum bid before the auction ended.
In a corner of the hall, there was an exquisite coffee table, draped with a snow-white tablecloth, adorned with elegant tea sets and snacks.
Inside the auction house, lights were bright, voices bustling.
Their eyes were fixed intently on the central auction platform, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the next treasure.
Occasionally, servers would glide through, serving tea and refreshments with graceful and meticulous movements.
Each time the doors opened slightly, a crisp and pleasant ding-dong sound of doorbells could be heard.
Ye Bai’s aim in coming to Tenglong Auction House was purely to obtain the Thunder God Armor; everything else was insignificant to him.
As time progressed, the auction gradually approached its conclusion. The final auction item—a legendary Dragon Scale Pill—rested quietly on the display table.
The Dragon Scale Pill is a very special drug; consuming it will grant one extraordinarily abnormal defensive capabilities for twelve hours.
Such defense can even withstand attacks from Tier Nine, making it an effortless feat.
It emitted a faint glow, seemingly containing endless power.
This elixir was also the star of the evening.
The hall was silent. All eyes focused on this elixir.
Many looked at the Dragon Scale Pill with eyes filled with greed.
"The starting bid for this Dragon Scale Pill is one million Yanhuang coins."
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience quickly started making bids, mostly wealthy individuals.
"One million Yanhuang coins—who are you looking down on? Two million Yanhuang coins." Someone immediately doubled the price.
"Four million Yanhuang coins." This person was not accommodating to others, primarily jacking up the price.
Finally, the entire Dragon Scale Pill was snatched by a masked man for thirty million Yanhuang coins.
The auctioneer’s voice trembled slightly as his gavel finally fell, marking the climax of this auction.
By then, Ye Bai had already arranged with the staff to purchase the ragged Thunder God Armor at a very low starting price.
Upon returning to Anbao Hall, the Thunder God Armor sank directly into Big Gray’s body. Shortly after, thunder radiated from Big Gray’s body, eventually condensing into a meticulously crafted Thunder Armor.
Big Gray’s aura skyrocketed, and its strength improved greatly.
Its mouth let out a deafening roar, with a giant Mjolnir materializing in its hand.
Fierce thunders gathered upon Big Gray; it now resembled a Thunder God descended to the mortal world, possessing extremely terrifying combat power. Follow current novels on novel★fire.net
Feeling the fierce aura emanating from Big Gray.
Fierce thunder suddenly struck down from the sky, forming a nine-dragon surround configuration.
"Very good, Big Gray. When we enter that side of the South Celestial Gate, you will be my protector."
Ye Bai checked his pet beasts.
He suddenly realized every one of his pet beasts could effectively counteract spores.
Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, invulnerable to poisons, would assimilate spores.
Nether Wolf, with flames blazing all over its body, wasn’t afraid of spore parasitism; spores would be consumed by fire before getting close.
Space Pelican, adept in spatial turbulence and space storms, kept spores at bay.
True Dragon Spirit, essentially a sword, with spores unlikely to bite down successfully.
Sunflower Emperor, mastering ’Holy Light Shining’ skills, is the strongest nemesis of Abyssal Spores.
Big Gray, spores on Big Gray’s hand would crackle electrically.
Little Cold, before even approaching, Abyssal Spores would be frozen solid.
After acquiring the Thunder God Armor, Ye Bai wanted to summon Dan Kalabi but hesitated to do it within Anbao Hall.
Therefore, Ye Bai asked the Paper Puppet where he might find a place unlikely to attract attention, as he wished to summon a demon god into the world.
The Paper Puppet thought seriously before offering a suggestion.
"I remember there’s a real estate project in the Imperial Capital that has been abandoned for many years."
"That estate has a total of 180 floors, humorously referred to as an upgraded version of the Eighteen Layers of Hell."
"Summoning Dan Kalabi or other demon gods on the rooftop might be a good choice."
Ye Bai considered it; 180 floors should suffice, as long as there was little attention drawn when summoning Dan Kalabi, it shouldn’t alert the Dragon Group.
The Dragon Group is specially set up to defend the Flame Country.
Unless it’s something intolerable, the Dragon Group generally won’t bother you.
But colluding with the Abyssal Demon God, that’s another matter entirely.
Is this proposing to sell out humanity’s destiny, to be a lapdog to the Abyssal Demon God?
Thus, Ye Bai needed to be cautious.
However, not summoning Dan Kalabi means not knowing the Abyssal Spores’ weaknesses.
Still, Ye Bai pondered for a long time and decided not to take too much risk.
It’d be better to directly confess, report to his master, and avoid trouble.
After the message was sent, Zhang Dashan immediately called Ye Bai over.
"Ye Bai, you say your information is true?"
"Does the Dan Kalabi Demon God truly know how to deal with the Spore Demon God?"
Ye Bai shook his head: "That can only be known after summoning Dan Kalabi."
"After all, Abyssal Spores originate from the Abyss."
Ye Bai uttered an extremely subtle remark.
It was precisely this comment that convinced Zhang Dashan.
"Alright, Ye Bai, I’ll personally report this matter to the five Marshals."
"The spread of spores is greatly harmful; discovering the weaknesses of the Spore Demon God early is beneficial for the Flame Country, even for the entire world."
"You don’t need to worry; demon gods are good and evil, and Dan Kalabi is among the few peaceful ones."
Zhang Dashan often dealt with Hell and the Abyss, knowing some basic information about demon gods.
In Zhang Dashan’s eyes, summoning a demon god didn’t mean Ye Bai colluded with demon gods.
