As for the Immortal Dao Alliance, it is composed of many Immoral Lineages that banded together in order to protect themselves from the Emperor’s Lineage of the world. The members include sects like the Heaven Mystery Pavilion and the Association of Chamber of Commerce that was in charge of the auction that Wang Wei is about to take part in.
After thinking about these things, Wang Wei motioned for Li Jingfei to bring him inside the action. Then, with a happy smile on her face, she brought him to the VIP Area and handed him a list of all the things that were about to be auctioned.
Most of the items were of no interest to Wang Wei, however he still stayed throughout the entire process. It turns out that Li Jingfei was also the auctioneer, an act which apparently passed a lot of people.
As soon as she appeared on the stage, countless cheers echoed throughout the entire room. Many people started to compliment her and showeer her with praises. However, Li Jingfei seemed to be used to this type of behavior. She secretly looked at the number 1 VIP Area and she was disappointed when she noticed that Wang Wei was not part of the people who were complimenting her.
Then she started introducing all the items one by one and people bid for them fervently. However Wang Wei did not react as none of these things were of any value to him. The only time that he paid attention was near the end of the auction.
And it was not because he was interested in the objects being auctioned, he was just surprised by the item and people’s desire for it.
"Next, we will auction a bottle with ten drops of Holy Spring Water. I do not need to explain how valuable this actually is. Only one drop is needed to save a dying cultivator. And with this bottle, it is like having ten extra lives.
"The starting bidding price is 0, and each bid has to be increased by a 1000 Origin Sources. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, Origin Stones are no longer useful."
Li Jingfei had a smile on her face after announcing the price. Although the room became quiet for a few seconds, she was not worried about people not buying it.
And she was right. A few seconds into the silence, someone from another VIP booth yelled:
"10,000 Origin Sources."
"20,000 Origin Sources."
"50,000 Origin Sources," yelled one person, then that person released a powerful Saint Aura, preventing other people from bidding after him.
However, soon another person snorted coldly and released its own Saint Aura, "70,000 Origin Stones."
Then those two Saint Ream cultivators started to wage a price war with one another while the other people remained silent.
As for Wang Wei, he was reflecting on his life after seeing this scene. It was at this moment that it dawned on him the kind of advantage he has due to his high background.
Back more than a century ago, after exiting the Spirit Road Trial, his mother asked him to bathe in Holy Spring Water in order to remove all the hidden injuries in his body. But now, these Saint Realm powerhouses were fighting like their families were slaughtered by the other person over a few drops.
And he could bathe in such precious material as an ordinary mortal. Wang Wei sighed as he realized that wealth and resources inequality exist in any world.
Some people might spend their entire life accomplishing something, while another person was born with it.
Although Wang Wei never believed that a person’s beginning or origin dictated their future accomplishment, he was still very glad that he had such a high starting point. This fact has saved him a lot of time and trouble.
The prices of the Holy Spring Water reached a few hundred thousands before it was bought by the first Saint Realm True Person that spoke. However, Wang Wei could tell that this guy will not be able to leave this auction peacefully.
Of course this was not the main attraction of this auction: that glory was reserved for Supreme Tier weapons. Many other Saint Realm True Persons participated in the bidding for it.
The price reached a few million Origin Sources, however Wang Wei did not care nor did he bid for it. For once, his space ring has a few Supreme Tier Origin Treasures and they are not of the lowest quality like the one auctioned.
More importantly, he could not even use such a powerful treasure without the Power of Law, so it was pointless to buy something that he could not even use. The only thing that Wang Wei bought was a map that supposedly led to an inheritance from the past.
As soon as Wang Wei bid for this treasure, no one competed against him. The cultivators of this world were not stupid. Based on Wang Wei’s temperament and the way the Association treated him, these cultivators guessed that he was one of the Heaven Chosen of one of the powerful sects.
And these cultivators knew that every Heaven Chosen is usually accompanied by a powerful Dao Protector, so they did not dare to mess with him. Of course a few of them still could not resist the temptation, unfortunately for them, they were all annihilated by True Monarch Yan Chen in order not to disturb Wang Wei’s little vacation.
A few weeks passed by and Wang Wei was still slowly traveling towards the Emperor Enlightening Academy.
Wang Wei was currently traveling by boat with many other people. His grey hair and eyes attracted the eyes of many ladies, but he ignored them as he was used to being the center of attention everywhere he went.
A few days ago, he followed the map he bought and entered a Secret Realm and got the inheritance of a sect that was long destroyed. The sect was a Supreme Land, so he got a few treasures and techniques of such caliber. Although nothing of true value was found inside, Wang Wei was still happy to acquire a bunch of treasure without much effort. No one dislike getting richer.
Another notable event was the fact that a Saint Realm True Person was killed, however this had nothing to do with him.
While Wang Wei was standing alone watching the breathtaking view of the ocean, someone approached him and started a conversation.
It was quite the beautiful woman, however, she seemed plain and simple at the same time. Her body exhumed a kind and gentle temperament that made anyone want to be friends with her.
She was wearing a blue hanfu with long black hair. A broken jade pendant was hanging around her dress, and she smiled after walking next to Wang Wei.
"Hello!" She said with a smile.
"Hello, can I help you with something?"
"No, I just wanted to take a look at you."
"Oh, are you like one of these women that secretly admires me and looked at me like I was the rarest and most beautiful jade that they have ever seen in their life? Well, I admire the fact that you are more bold than them."
She was a little surprised by my words before giggling a little, "No, it was because you remind me of someone that I knew from long ago."
Her cheery laughter faded after saying that, replaced by deep nostalgia and sadness. Wang Wei took notice of the change in her mood, but he did not ask as they had just met.
"Is that so? Well, I do not believe that as I am a very unique individual. Well, that is according to my mother."
Her smile returned again, "You are indeed unique. But you still have two similarities with that person."
"Oh, I’m suddenly intrigued. Please elaborate."
"The first thing is your sense of humor. He was always able to make me laugh no matter the situation; he had a way to bring joy to me no matter the dire situation," she replied, then paused for a few seconds. She seemed lost in her own memories.
"The second similarity is the fact that you two have the same eyes."
"Eyes?"
"Yes, you two have the same dedication in your eyes. The dedication to do anything for the people they loved. The dedication to destroy millions of lives in order to save a few, the dedication to overturn Heaven and Earth for your loved ones, the dedication to turn into the most vile of devils for the sake of love."
Wang Wei was silent after hearing this as he knew that she was right. He knew that if something were to happen to his friends or family, he would not hesitate to do any of the things she said to save them.
The problem is how can she determine his entire personality just by looking at his eyes?
Noticing that something was wrong, he activated his True Vision ability, however he did not see anything. She did not have a Qi Luck Dragon on top of her head, and Wang Wei did not even see any Fate Lines on her.
