Female lead: No, it's me again??

"35?"

"Miss Yao Yao, is there any other information?"

In the lobby on the first floor, a monk asked a question.

Just four words?

Yao Yao shook her head slightly. She personally lifted the red silk, revealing a fist-sized clam, like obsidian, inside the round platform. Her slender fingertips were made to look like pearls.

"To be honest, this clam has existed for a hundred years, and we don't know its origin. We can only confirm that it is a Saint-level object by the occasional fluctuations of spiritual energy that leak out from it."

"But it has been dormant for many years, and the auction house has tried many methods, but none of them have been able to wake it up."

"The young master felt that this item was not meant for us, so he put it up for auction at a low price, waiting for a destined buyer."

Everyone looked at each other.

The second-floor window opened, and the young man in dark clothes leaned against the windowsill, saying with interest, "Does Miss Yao Yao mean that this clam, apart from occasionally leaking power to prove it's at the Saint level, is otherwise like a dead object?"

The woman nodded. "Yes."

The young man chuckled, his voice deep and resonant, "Then why buy it? What's the use of something that doesn't respond?"

The people below echoed his sentiments.

"Young master, you're really trying to fob us off with this..."

Some people complained, "This thing has been like a dead object for years. What use is it besides taking up space?"

"That's right!"

"Don't worry, everyone says to wait for the right buyer. What if we buy it and it suddenly wakes up?"

"You're so lucky!"

Many people silently rolled their eyes.

Mentally disabled.

Fool.

"35 million top-grade spirit stones."

A crisp sound rang out in the hall.

For a moment, the auction house was completely silent.

They looked toward the sound and found it was the same two people from before. If they were dissatisfied before, they were now gloating.

"Which family's spendthrift son came from?"

"She wants even sacred beasts that won't wake up. Does she have so much money she doesn't know what to do with it? Isn't she afraid her father will chop her to pieces with one palm?"

"Brother, can you make prophecies?"

"Hahahaha!"

Even the men who had just made those threats looked at them with mockery and sarcasm. "Short-sighted, ha!"

God is fair; these people may be rich, but they clearly lack common sense.

Looks like I'll be able to make a killing today.

Instead, the young man in Tibetan clothes glanced thoughtfully at Feng Siyue, then looked at the black clam on the stage, and said nothing.

Feng Siyue ignored the sarcasm and ridicule of the crowd, glanced at the black clam briefly, and tossed it into her ring.

The auction proceeded smoothly, and the appearance of one rare item after another brought the auction to a climax, eliciting countless screams and shouts!

Something's not right about the background of Zhuifeng Tower.

For so many years, have the royal family and other families just stood by and watched?

Two hours later, the auction was coming to an end. Yan Nanfei took a fancy to three items, which were bought by Feng Siyue one by one.

Normally, the number of people in the auction house would gradually decrease by this time, but seeing the packed house today, Yao Yao smiled, "It seems that everyone is very well-informed~ Our auction house is truly fortunate to have everyone's attention."

On the first floor, in the front row, a fat man in fine clothes rubbed his hands excitedly, a hint of gloom in his eyes.

"Miss Yao Yao, stop keeping us in suspense! We're all here for the items you haven't announced yet!"

This young lady, her waist... her face...

Absolutely!!

"That's right! It's freezing cold outside, I'm really looking forward to going to the Ice Pool Inn for a cup of hot wine!!"

"Miss Yao Yao is beautiful and kind-hearted, please reveal the secret!!"

The woman in colorful clothes on the stage covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, alright, I'll begin now."

"This last item is not actually an item for auction, but rather a piece of information about a high-level sacred artifact. However, due to its special nature, the auction house has decided to disclose it to everyone free of charge."

Everyone's eyes welled up with tears of emotion!

"What!?"

"Free of charge? I'm even more curious now. What's so special about the information Yao Yao mentioned?"

"Could it be some kind of dangerous situation?"

Yao Yao quickly provided an explanation.

"Two months ago, our alchemist accidentally fell into a cave in the Endless Snow Mountain at the northernmost tip of Snow Crystal State. Inside, he discovered a secret realm that was about to open. It was there that he sensed the aura of a high-level sacred artifact."

"After two months of rigorous screening, he discovered that only cultivators below the Spirit Venerable level could enter, and the opening time was one month later."

"Our host's intention is that, as a way of thanking all our guests for their support over the years, the exact location of this secret realm will be revealed to all guests at this auction, free of charge!"

The moment the last two words were uttered, the entire auction house erupted in cheers!

"Young Master, what a generous gesture!"

"Exactly! Who wouldn't hide their discovery of a secret realm and wait for their own people to see it before making a fuss? The Wind Chaser Tower is so magnanimous!!"

In the private rooms on the second and third floors, too many people stood up and slammed their fists on the table, demanding, "Miss Yao Yao, where is that secret realm?!"

Auction houses never consider the veracity of information, because there is no such thing as falsehood!

In the early years, there were people who questioned it, but those people all became the dead in countless secret realms!

That's a high-level sacred artifact!

Who wouldn't be excited by the power of a supreme artifact?

"Yup!"

"Where? Where is it??"

Yao Yao smiled and spoke, and a line of golden characters appeared behind her: "Southeast of Endless Snow Mountain, beneath the Hundred Spirits Stele, lies the entrance to the secret realm!"

The Spirit Tablet?

Feng Siyue suddenly looked up.

This name sounds familiar...

In the private room number three on the second floor, the window opened, and a handsome young man asked with a grin, "Miss Yao Yao, is this the same secret realm that was discovered in the past?"

Yao Yao looked up, shook her head, and said, "I'm not sure. We'll only know when the secret realm opens. But historically, there's no record of a secret realm appearing there."

"If it doesn't exist, it's highly likely to be wild!!"

"This time, we're going to be rich! Hahahaha!!!"

"It's developed, it's developed!"

Some people also saw the incongruity and crisis behind the news.

"Don't get too cocky, this news can't be kept secret."

The royal family and the three major families must be among them!

"Yes!"

"The further north you go, the harsher the climate becomes. Not to mention the countless cold waves, there's also the Evil Spirit Abyss, which is the only way to get from here to the Endless Snow Mountain. It's a nightmare for countless flying spirit beasts!"

"What nightmare? That's clearly a burial ground!!"

In the back of the hall, the man in yellow asked in confusion,

"The Abyss of Evil Spirits? Where is that?"

The burly man with a thick beard sitting next to him patted his shoulder and explained, "You can tell at a glance that you're not from Snow Crystal Prefecture. Evil Spirit Abyss is located north of Snow Crystal Imperial City."

“It takes ordinary flying spirit beasts ten days to get from here to the Abyss of Evil Spirits. There is a restriction above the Abyss of Evil Spirits, and any flying spirit beast that tries to pass through will be cruelly torn to pieces!”
