Chapter 752

Qin Bai Sheng asks whether the Ascending Heaven Plain intelligence was flawed, since the auction’s oath forbids either side to lie. He Lang Zi says no, but his expression turns grim, as if he had suffered a huge loss. Teleported to the blessed land, he collects his water wolves and finds no mistake. He leaves the auction early without returning. ^{ch. 752}

In the first secret room, Murong Jin Xiao laughs at the loss and thanks the rank eight Gu Immortal from Eastern Sea beside him, who now holds heavenly gong. Even though He Lang Zi saw Ascending Heaven Plain’s location, it lies in Eastern Sea, out of his reach. The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal waves this off. His daughter cultivates sound path, and he bought heavenly gong for her, not to target He Lang Zi personally. Fang Yuan already knows the plain lies in Eastern Sea, and sets his suspicion aside by recalling Murong tribe’s Eastern Sea connections. ^{ch. 752}

The third item is Fang Yuan’s own rising azure cloud Gu, a rank six cloud path Immortal Gu for flight, offered for a strength path Immortal Gu in trade. Fang Yuan is a committed strength path Gu Immortal now. His true ambition, tied to Spring Autumn Cicada, was a time path ascension circumstance forced him to abandon, but Reckless Savage’s true meaning has since raised his strength path attainment to grandmaster level, equal to his blood path. Yet he is not blood path’s only grandmaster, while Spring Autumn Cicada has no equal. Lacking a time path foundation and still an immortal zombie with no fixed date to regain life, he can only reach for more battle strength now through strength path Immortal Gu. ^{ch. 752}

Several Gu Immortals bid for rising azure cloud with strength path Gu of their own. Five bid in all, and once three have dropped out and two remain, Fang Yuan picks the third bidder before those two settle it, since a seller may choose any buyer, not necessarily the highest bidder. He takes that bidder’s iron crown eagle strength Gu, along with a batch of materials from Lang Ya land spirit’s list, and gives up rising azure cloud, since the eagle Gu is the only flying-beast offer and suits his true solid bat wings. Used in flight, it could rival an immortal movement killer move. ^{ch. 752}

A fire path Immortal Gu and two metal path Immortal Gu also change hands. Five Elements Grandmaster outbids the field for the fire path Gu but leaves empty handed, since the seller prefers another buyer’s immortal materials. Metal, wood, water, fire and earth remain the most mainstream paths, and the rank eight Five Elements Grandmaster wins one of the metal path Gu while Qin Bai Sheng, organizer and participant both, wins the other. Immortal Gu after Immortal Gu changes hands, a scale of trading Northern Plains has not seen in a few hundred years, built on the windfall from Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s collapse. ^{ch. 752}

The twenty-third item is Worldly Wave Trace, a rank six movement Gu. Feng Jiu Ge, posing as Fairy You Lan, wants it badly: to him it is one of the cores for constructing the rank seven Immortal Gu House, Water Pavilion. The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal wants it too. He already holds the recipe for worldly horizon Immortal Gu, which Worldly Wave Trace would give him a high chance of refining, opening free entry to the immemorial nine heavens at lower cost. ^{ch. 752}

Feng Jiu Ge, in Swordmaster You Lan’s voice, offers Pulling Mountain, a strength path Immortal Gu, together with a hundred and fifty kilograms of heaven metal, a nine-heavens material as rare as rule eye blood. The offer scares off most of the field. The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal answers with Overturn River, together with two hundred and fifty kilograms of crack divine water, a material as rare as heaven metal. ^{ch. 752}

Feng Jiu Ge answers that he will meet any price the seller sets, whether in materials, Gu recipes, beast groups, or variant human slaves. The hall erupts. Most Gu Immortals guess that Prince Feng Xian himself stands behind Fairy You Lan’s bidding. The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal, rank eight himself, makes the same open offer and asks the seller to name a price, setting off a second uproar. ^{ch. 752}

Fang Yuan, the seller, answers by handing over Lang Ya land spirit’s immortal material list with every amount multiplied several times. It calls for three thousand kilograms of heaven metal and crack divine water, and the hall erupts a third time, stunned at the price. Even Feng Jiu Ge and the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal are left speechless. ^{ch. 752}
