Chapter 279: Chapter 280: Treasure Pavilion (3rd Update) (Please Collect, Reward, and Recommend)

Chu Fengmian walked into the crowd and indeed saw countless people in front of the Treasure Hall. Some of them left with pale faces, extremely disappointed, and some even cried out loud.

While others emerged with smiles on their faces, as if they had encountered great joy.

Every individual who came out of the Treasure Hall showed different expressions, either immense sorrow or great joy, which kindled Chu Fengmian’s interest.

"Stop right there, to enter the Treasure Hall, you must first pay a fee of one hundred Nine Tripods Pills."

As Chu Fengmian approached the entrance, he was stopped by several Martial Artists.

"Oh? It costs money just to take a look inside the Treasure Hall?"

Witnessing this scene, Chu Fengmian finally understood why there were so many people standing outside yet not going in.

One hundred Nine Tripods Pills, while not a huge amount, was quite expensive just for a look inside.

For a Martial Artist, every pill was for cultivating, and few would willingly pay with their pills just to join the throng.

However, for Chu Fengmian, one hundred Nine Tripods Pills were negligible. With his wealth of over ten billion, he hardly cared about such a trivial amount.

Chu Fengmian casually took out one hundred Nine Tripods Pills and paid the fee.

"Please, enter, young master."

The guards, having taken the money, stepped aside and allowed Chu Fengmian to enter. One of the guards followed closely by Chu Fengmian’s side and explained,

"Is this your first visit to the Treasure Hall, young master? Our Treasure Hall is not a shop, but a place that has collected many extraordinary items. All the strange things here are priced at one hundred thousand Nine Tripods Pills."

The guard continued explaining to Chu Fengmian in a calm tone.

"The value of these extraordinary items varies; some we understand, while others we do not know the effects of. What you can purchase depends on what you see. Once bought, there can be no return."

Hearing the guard’s words, Chu Fengmian now understood why some of the Martial Artists coming out were overjoyed while others deeply anguished.

Purchasing items in the Treasure Hall was essentially a gamble. The goods inside were uniformly priced at one hundred thousand Nine Tripods Pills, yet their actual value could be high or low.

You might chance upon something of great value or come away with something worthless.

"This Treasure Hall is quite interesting."

Chu Fengmian couldn’t help but remark; it was his first time in such a place.

"The items in the Treasure Hall were all acquired by our Pavilion Master by chance. He enjoys collecting these odd and bizarre items, but many of them even he cannot recognize, which is why he decided to establish this Treasure Hall."

The guard spoke slowly.

"Anyone who purchases an item must inform the Pavilion Master of its origin."

"There was once someone who purchased a piece of Nine Heavens Meteoric Iron from the Treasure Hall, worth nearly one hundred million Nine Tripods Pills, and made a fortune."

"Such a fortune probably doesn’t come around in the Treasure Hall even once in a thousand years, right?"

Chu Fengmian said with a smile after listening to the guard.

Nine Heavens Meteoric Iron, a material that falls from beyond the heavens, is exceedingly rare and valuable, enough to forge Heavenly Spiritual Artifacts, and worth upwards of one hundred million Nine Tripods Pills.

This magnitude of wealth might not happen even once in a millennium at the Treasure Hall, though acquiring smaller fortunes was still possible.

As a person from ten thousand years ago, Chu Fengmian had read extensively and could not be easily deceived by some of the rarities.

"It could be worth taking a look."

Chu Fengmian was indeed quite intrigued, and since he was already here, he decided to take a look around, especially since there were still several hours before the auction began.

In this courtyard, there were countless mysterious items, some no larger than a thumb, while others were as gigantic as a small mountain.

"Oh? Dragon Blood Crystal Stone?"

Chu Fengmian was strolling along when he suddenly noticed a stone half the height of a person. This stone looked just like an ordinary one, with nothing special about it.

However, through his bloodline, Chu Fengmian could immediately sense that within this stone, there actually lay a piece of Dragon Blood Crystal Stone.

This Dragon Blood Crystal Stone, formed from the condensed blood of a true dragon, after being refined, could prolong life, enhance physical strength, and was indeed quite useful to Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian therefore walked over to that piece of Dragon Blood Crystal Stone.

Next to Chu Fengmian, there was an old man and a young man browsing as well.

"Master Mu, I invited you here this time to choose a grand gift for my father, so please take a good look."

The young man spoke to the old man, Master Mu; it was evident that Master Mu was the one he had invited to appraise these mysterious items.

In the Nine Domains, not everyone was fond of martial arts; some chose to study other subjects.

Master Mu was a respected researcher of ancient and mysterious objects and had a degree of fame in Nine Tripods Ancient City.

"Young Master Zhao, don’t be polite,"

Master Mu chuckled, his eyes then turning to the half-person-high stone.

"This is indeed a good item. There’s Dragon Blood Crystal Stone inside that rock. The great general currently needs to restore his vitality to overcome the life-and-death tribulation, and purchasing that stone would be perfect for Young Master Zhao."

"Dragon Blood Crystal Stone?"

Upon hearing the name, Young Master Zhao obviously knew about its rarity. A piece of Dragon Blood Crystal Stone was worth millions of Nine Tripods Pills, and buying it would be a huge gain.

"Good, I’ll buy it right now."

Young Master Zhao walked towards the stone, but another figure, moving faster than him, reached the front of the half-person-high stone first.

That figure was none other than Chu Fengmian.

"I’ve bought this stone,"

Chu Fengmian took out a hundred thousand Nine Tripods Pills and handed it to the watchman nearby, immediately purchasing the stone.

"Stop right there!"

Seeing the stone being snatched away firsthand, Young Master Zhao’s face changed abruptly as he yelled out loud.

Hearing this shout, Chu Fengmian didn’t even bother to pay him any attention and simply walked away to look at other items.

If just anyone could stop Chu Fengmian, then he would really lose face.

"Damn it, stop!"

Watching Chu Fengmian completely ignore him and walk away, Young Master Zhao’s face turned bright red with anger, ready to explode.

Who was he, Young Master Zhao? He may not be revered by everyone in Nine Tripods Ancient City, but even well-known figures had to show him some respect. No one dared to disregard his words.

Yet, not only had Chu Fengmian snatched away the Dragon Blood Crystal Stone from his grasp, but he had also completely ignored his words.

This made Young Master Zhao boil with rage inside.

"Who is this nobody, daring to disrespect me! I said stop!"

Young Master Zhao’s eyes flashed with fury, and suddenly, with a burst of energy, he summoned the spiritual power within his body and blasted it towards Chu Fengmian.
