“But no matter how I look at it, compared to the many large sects and families in the Divine Phoenix Region, this place has a bit more grandeur!” Dong Mi, on the other hand, was unmoved.
After all, he was born into a wealthy family.
He had seen quite a few of these things.
Though, this was the first time he had seen such a magnificent Chamber of Commerce.
“Senior brother, let’s go in and ask.”
“Okay!”
When Gu Lingfei entered the Chamber of Commerce’s courtyard, he could already feel that the gaze of the gatekeeper was somewhat strange. Upon entering the Chamber of Commerce, the bustling crowd dazzled the two.
Found it!
In the building ahead, the two saw the words ‘Fenghuo Auction’. “Senior brother! Found it! Let’s go and ask.”
As the two talked, they quickly walked toward the hall.
They passed through the square in the Chamber of Commerce and entered one of the halls only to see big words hanging above. Two big words “Fenghuo Auction” had been written elegantly.
“I wonder which sect or family you two are disciples of?” As soon as they entered the main hall, a woman greeted them with a face full of smiles.
Of the two people before her, one was dressed in rustic clothes, while the other was dressed in gold and silver and looked like a rich family’s disciple. That being said, they could be considered to have extraordinary auras.
As such, they were probably yet another pair of unkempt disciples from one of the big families, right?
“The Lingyun Sect!” Gu Lingfei replied loudly.
The woman was immediately stunned and the people around also looked over.
“What?” When Gu Lingfei felt everyone’s gaze, he found it inexplicable.
“The Lingyun Sect?”
“Have you heard of this sect?”
“I think I’ve heard of it a few times. Isn’t it the one who recently caused a ruckus in the Shangguan Family?”
“Yeah, I think it’s called the Lingyun Sect.”
The people around had already started discussing “But does the Lingyun Sect want to get a high-class ticket to the Fenghuo Auction?” “That’s impossible. If the sect leader is the only one with some strength, it’s impossible for them to enter the Fenghuo Auction.” “How can a small sect even participate in the Fenghuo Auction? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be a disgrace to us?”
The two of them finally understood that the main hall that they had come to was probably the place where the high-rank sects were invited to take a look at the seats.
As for the woman who welcomed them, her expression didn’t look too good either.
“Oh, the Lingyun Sect! Hahaha, then I wonder if your sect has participated in the Fenghuo Auction before?”
The matters regarding the Lingyun sect had recently become a hot topic, so even they had heard of it.
“No, this is the first time. Why? We can’t?”
“This, it’s not that you can’t. It’s just that if the two of you wish to represent your sect to participate in the Fenghuo Auction, all you need to do is to buy an entrance ticket.”
The moment these words were said, the two were immediately taken aback,
“If you’re only participating as individuals, then it’s alright to just come over. But if the two of you want to participate as representatives of the sect…”
Gu Lingfei was getting impatient.
He thought to himself, “Why are these people taking so long? Wasn’t this just an auction? Wasn’t it fine as long as he had money?”
“We’re going to participate as representatives of the Lingyun Sect, of course!”

“Then please go there and buy an entrance ticket.”
The two of them finally understood.
The elegantly-dressed people that they were seeing in the main hall were all from high-rank factions, or rather, those who had been directly invited.
Although the Lingyun Sect was a rising star that was worth paying attention to, in the end, it was only a fourth-rank faction.
“Sigh, I wonder why such a small sect would insist on having its disciples participate as representatives of the sect?”
“Yeah, it should’ve been fine for them to just watch the show outside! Don’t tell me they think that they can buy the things here with the meager savings in their pockets?”
The mocking voices were incessant, and Gu Lingfei’s expression was already very unsightly.
Dong Mi hurriedly pulled Gu Lingfei out of the main hall.
“Junior brother! Don’t stop me! I must argue with them today!”
“Senior brother! Now is not the time to be rash. Since Master has already insisted on participating, then why don’t we just wait and see! We’ll see what master has in mind!” Gu Lingfei still found it difficult to suppress the anger in his heart, “Okay, okay, fine! Let’s go buy that entrance ticket first!”
The two walked to a side hall. “We’re from the Lingyun Sect in the Divine Phoenix Region. We’d like to participate in the Fenghuo Auction.” The fat man in the window didn’t even raise his head as he said, “The Lingyun Sect? I seem to have some impression of it. Just come over, then.”
“But I heard that if we want to participate in the Fenghuo Auction, we have to buy something here?”
Upon hearing Dong Mi’s words the fat man whose figure could barely fit into the chair under his butt finally raised his head.
“You want to participate as a sect?”
“That’s right.”
“Hahahaha! Hahahaha! They, they hahahaha!”
First, it was the fatty who burst into laughter, then, the other people who were doing the accounting beside him also burst into laughter.
“Aiyo! Please allow me to ask, what rank is the Lingyun Sect at? The fourth-rank or the fifth-rank? How long has it been since it entered the fourth rank?” Gu Lingfei slapped the table, then pointed at the other party’s nose and cursed angrily, “Stop being so high and mighty! Who are you people? How dare you mock the Lingyun Sect?”
Seeing Gu Lingfei slap the table, the fatty in the window also stood up as he said furiously, “And who do you think you are? I advise you to just scram! The money you’ve got to spend on this thing is enough for your sect to pay offerings to another sect for a year!”
“Senior brother!” Seeing that Gu Lingfei was about to fly into a rage, Dong Mi quickly tugged at his sleeve again, indicating that this was not a place for him to fly into a rage.
Gu Lingfei’s spiritual energy had already condensed in his hand, but when he thought about how his sect had already been labeled as barbaric and opportunistic, If he caused trouble here, it would probably not be any good to his sect.
They wanted to participate in the Fenghuo Auction with the intention to show everyone the strength of the Lingyun Sect, to begin with.
“Junior brother! You stay here and talk to this pig! I’ll go out and get some fresh air!” Gu Lingfei turned around and left.
Dong Mi then turned around to inquire about the price. “50,000 middle-grade spirit stones,” Seeing that Dong Mi was calm and polite, that fatty simply threw this sentence at him in a snide tone.
50,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Dong Mi was stunned.
This was really not a small amount.
What he had on him was simply not enough.

“Sigh! Young man! I see that you’re also a reasonable person, so I’ll give you this advice. We should only do as much as we can!”
Dong Mi was a little regretful.
Before he had left, his Master had asked if he needed to bring some spirit stones.
Dong Mi had thought that the spirit stones in his bag were enough.
“Just keep the spirit stones in your bag well, and bring them back to your sect!”
