Free Web NovelChapter 2729: Chapter 2629: The Guest in Earth Grade Suite No. 1
In the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, the most powerful known beings are only the ’Peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals,’ and there are just two of them.
Under the Peak Love Rowan Upper Immortals, the ’Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortals’ of the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation are definitely no more than ten, which can be counted on one’s fingers.
"I know the powerful individuals following the Fourth Prince and Seventh Prince are Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortals... but I didn’t expect the individual following the Thirteenth Prince also to be a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal. Supposedly, that’s impossible..."
After exiting the number one Heaven Box, the manager of the Campbell Family Auction House was still somewhat puzzled, unable to comprehend.
Although, within the current Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, the talent of the Thirteenth Prince is no less than that of the Fourth Prince and Seventh Prince, he is also considered an ’obstacle’ on the path of their quest for the throne.
However, not many people, including him, favored the Thirteenth Prince.
This is because the current emperor doubted that the Thirteenth Prince was his biological son, so he was quite indifferent to him, showing affection only towards the Fourth and Seventh Princes, and each was given a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal as a guard to protect their safety.
As for the Thirteenth Prince, he was only given a ’Earth Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal.’
In the past, whenever he saw the Thirteenth Prince, the individual following him was always that Earth Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal...
However, this time, he didn’t see that Earth Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal; instead, he saw a new face.
"The individual beside the Thirteenth Prince is not part of the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation... I am certain that among the seven Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortals of the Imperial Family, that person is not included."
The manager of the Campbell Family Auction House, also holding the position of a Campbell Family elder, had a certain level of understanding of the seven Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortals within the Imperial Family of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
Based on his understanding:
Among the seven Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortals of the Imperial Family, that person is not included.
"That individual... perhaps was a strong adept the Thirteenth Prince gathered from outside."
In the end, the manager of the Campbell Family Auction House could only speculate this way, and once the speculation was made, he couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.
After all, that was a strong adept of the Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal level, not just any common individual.
In the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, as long as a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal adept doesn’t recklessly provoke the Imperial Family, they can practically walk unhindered...
Even a top family like theirs, the Campbell Family in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, has only one Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal level adept, which shows:
How rare a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal adept is in the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
Under such circumstances, their status is notably high within the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation.
And now, he saw:
An unfamiliar Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal following that Thirteenth Prince, deferentially taking up the role of a ’servant.’
"It is said that the Thirteenth Prince is no ordinary figure; in some respects, even the Fourth and Seventh Princes cannot compare to him... Today, I have witnessed it. Not to mention anything else, but just being able to single-handedly gather a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal to follow him is something that neither the Fourth Prince nor the Seventh Prince can achieve."
The manager of the Campbell Family Auction House sighed inwardly.
He suddenly felt that he had underestimated that Thirteenth Prince before...
"This matter must be reported back to the family, and let the head of the family notify the Seventh Prince... The appearance of a Heaven Stage Love Rowan Upper Immortal beside the Thirteenth Prince, without being someone given by His Majesty, is significant enough to grab the attention of the Seventh Prince."
Upon thinking this, the manager of the Campbell Family Auction House took out a communication Immortal Talisman and transmitted the information back to the family.
Much like the close relationship between the Campbell Family and the Fourth Prince, the Campbell Family also has very close ties to the Seventh Prince.
This is because the birth mother of the Seventh Prince is the sister of the current head of the Campbell Family.
If it can be said that the Campbell Family serves as the ’backing’ for the Fourth Prince’s quest for the throne, then the Campbell Family serves as the ’backing’ for the Seventh Prince’s quest for the throne.
As for the Thirteenth Prince, his birth mother is not someone from a prestigious family within the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation, but someone the Emperor brought back from outside back in the day.
Therefore, on the path for the throne, the Thirteenth Prince has no support or backing and can only rely on himself.
Add to that, due to some matters, the emperor of the Ascendant Dragon Celestial Nation cannot be one hundred percent sure that the Thirteenth Prince is his biological son, which has resulted in the Thirteenth Prince being sidelined, making his quest for the throne difficult with few supporters.
Even though on several fronts, he is not inferior to the Fourth and Seventh Princes, and might even surpass them.
...
At the Campbell Family Auction House, the auction continued.
As time flew by, Wyatt Barnes in the number one Earth Box finally awaited this target of his journey:
Profound Rank Cultivation Method!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a Profound Rank cultivation method, named ’Cloud Dream Immortal Formula’..."
On the auction platform, a grand and noble woman with an alluring voice spoke slowly, and her voice echoed throughout the auction venue as soon as it was transmitted.
Even those in several of the boxes on various levels could clearly hear her alluring voice.
After introducing the ’Cloud Dream Immortal Formula,’ the woman’s voice suddenly rose, "The starting bid for the ’Cloud Dream Immortal Formula’ is ten thousand supreme Immortal stones, and each increment must not be less than five thousand supreme Immortal stones!"
Sitting at the window of the number one Earth Box, Wyatt Barnes did not participate in the bidding.
Looking at the Profound Rank cultivation technique named "Cloud Dream Immortal Formula," under the competitive bidding of several individuals, the price continuously climbed and was finally acquired by someone in the Ground Box at the price of ’ninety thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones.’
"Congratulations to the guest in Ground Box No. 6 for successfully winning the Profound Rank cultivation technique ’Cloud Dream Immortal Formula’... Next, we will auction the second Profound Rank cultivation technique."
As the beautiful woman hosting the auction spoke, the second Profound Rank cultivation technique also began to reveal itself to everyone present in the auction house.
In the end, this Profound Rank cultivation technique was also auctioned off for the price of ’ninety thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones.’
"A Profound Rank technique, ninety thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones... is not expensive."
Inside Ground Box No. 1, Wyatt Barnes, who had yet to make a move, watched the two Profound Rank cultivation techniques being auctioned off, but he did not hurry and calmly sat there with a relaxed and indifferent demeanor.
It seemed like he could remain unfazed even if Mount Tai exploded right in front of him.
The reason for not participating in the bidding yet was because there were still five more Profound Rank cultivation techniques to come, and the first two techniques did not appeal to Wyatt.
Although Profound Rank cultivation techniques are quite similar, there are still some subtle differences.
For instance, the first two techniques auctioned just now, the first one subtly changes the nature of Immortal Origin Force, making it gentle, suitable for cultivation by those following the path of gentleness; the second one advocates fierceness, which is a complete contrast from the first.
Wyatt dislikes both of those styles.
He prefers cultivation techniques that temper Immortal Origin Force into a balance of hardness and softness.
As the two Profound Rank cultivation techniques were auctioned off, the fifth Profound Rank cultivation technique finally satisfied Wyatt’s expectations, prompting him to start bidding, and he was the first to place a bid.
"Ten thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones!"
After quoting his price, Wyatt awaited others to increase their bids, planning to follow through with additional bids.
After all, the preceding four Profound Rank cultivation techniques were auctioned off at nine thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones for the first two and eight thousand for the latter two, so Wyatt didn’t believe he could acquire this technique for merely ten thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones.
Unless everyone else suddenly became mute in that moment.
"Fifteen thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones!"
A moment later, someone from the auction house hall made an offer.
When Wyatt initially made a bid, people in the other Ground Boxes were internally startled, thinking, "Hearing that voice... the person from Ground Box No. 1 seems to be the one who killed another guest from Fleeting Year Inn while coming to this Campbell Family Auction House."
"That guest, being sheltered by Fleeting Year Inn after killing another guest indicates he’s quite extraordinary... otherwise, Fleeting Year Inn wouldn’t risk ruining its reputation to protect him."
"This person... shouldn’t be provoked!"
"Shouldn’t be provoked!"
...
Everyone in Ground Box nodded in agreement as they had all come from Fleeting Year Inn with Wyatt Barnes, witnessing him safely kill another inn guest.
They unanimously decided:
Wyatt Barnes is someone they cannot afford to trouble.
Thus, none of them dared to bid against him.
"Thirty thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones!"
As Wyatt quoted the third time, no sound was heard for a long time.
The traders in the auction hall did not make a sound because their financial capacity was limited, unable to afford a higher price.
Now, many people lifted their heads to glance at the various Ground Boxes, hoping others would bid against Ground Box No. 1, but they waited for a long time without any response.
The ones in the other Ground Boxes seemed to have fallen silent all of a sudden.
"What’s wrong with the other Ground Boxes? Why haven’t they bid yet?"
"It’s a Profound Rank cultivation technique... winning it in the auction, bringing it to the black market for sale, even at a low price, getting six or seventy thousand supreme-grade Immortal Stones shouldn’t be a problem. The ones in Ground Box have the capability to acquire and resell it."
"That’s true... but, why aren’t they bidding? It’s an opportunity to earn Immortal Stones effortlessly."
...
The auction hall was bustling for a while, yet they ultimately couldn’t wait for the guests in other Ground Boxes to bid in the auction.
"It seems... the person in Ground Box No. 1 is not simple."
"Aren’t you just stating the obvious? If the one in Ground Box No. 1 was an ordinary person, would no one in the other Ground Boxes bid? From the beginning of his first bid onwards, none of them even spoke up."
...
Quickly, many people in the auction hall speculated that the person in Ground Box No. 1 was at least significant enough to make others in the Ground Boxes refrain from bidding against him.
Those who had contested Wyatt’s bid in the auction hall, at this moment, revealed a pallid look and displayed remorse.
