King of Creation-Chapter 1495 - 1480: Underground Forces

In Ye Zhen’s palm, fifteen pigeon egg-sized high-grade Thought Spirit Pills were shining brightly.

At the moment he saw these fifteen high-grade Thought Spirit Pills, the young man’s eyes widened, his handsome face flushed red, and he looked at Ye Zhen, unable to utter a single word.

One low-grade Thought Spirit Pill is worth the price of one high-grade Spiritual Stone, and one high-grade Thought Spirit Pill is at least worth ten thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones, so fifteen of them equate to one hundred fifty thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones.

Equivalent to fifteen million mid-grade Spirit Stones, and these fifteen million mid-grade Spirit Stones are merely used for one’s cultivation.

He had been showing off his wealth before Ye Zhen for quite some time, but it turned out that the young man with seemingly ordinary cultivation in front of him was the real magnate.

Watching the extremely embarrassed young man, Ye Zhen smiled slightly, put away the high-grade Thought Spirit Pills in his palm, and then leisurely turned around and walked into the courtyard, leaving the young man standing there in extreme embarrassment.

It took a full half minute before the young man awkwardly retrieved the mid-grade Spirit Stones he had just shown off and led the three beautiful women behind him away in disgrace.

The waiter who had been slapped earlier pointed at the figure of the young man leaving in disgrace and laughed heartily.

This was just a small interlude of Ye Zhen’s stay on the Five Immortals Island. After resting for half a day, Ye Zhen began to arrange matters concerning the rare invitations to the Five Immortals Island’s annual auction event.

One of Ye Zhen’s main purposes in coming to Five Immortals Island was that Hua Changjun had mentioned that there might be information regarding the whereabouts of some Heavenly Spiritual Treasures at the island’s annual auction. These pieces of information were half-true, but there was a chance they could purchase the real ones, wasn’t there?

On the way here, Ye Zhen had already heard those middlemen mentioning how precious the invitations to the Five Immortals Island’s annual auction were. After contacting the previous middleman, Ye Zhen realized just how sought after these were.

"Ten years, all Sky-level and Earth-level invitations within the last ten years have already been sold out. How can they be this coveted?" Upon hearing what the previous middleman said, Ye Zhen was almost bewildered, wondering how a business could thrive this much.

"Ten years, and that’s just the official number. In reality, Sky-level and Earth-level invitations beyond five years have been long-term reserved for huge sums and won’t even reach the market.

Every year, at least one hundred thousand people wish to enter this Five Immortals Island annual auction, but there are only three thousand invitations, and even counting accompanists, only five thousand people can get in. You can imagine how sought after they are!" the middleman said.

"One hundred thousand want to enter, but only three thousand invitations are available? Why doesn’t the business produce more invitations, wouldn’t that just earn them more?" Ye Zhen asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, the middleman laughed, "Sir, you don’t understand, this is exactly why the auction event is so incredibly hot."

"Think about it, something you could easily buy versus something you can’t buy even if you want to spend much more, which would interest you more?"

"Of course, the latter!" Ye Zhen said.

"That’s right, the Five Immortals Island’s annual auction is so hot because the invitations are so hard to come by that it becomes an ever-escalating frenzy to participate, making attending the event even one time a dream for many people over the years." the middleman said.

Understanding this, Ye Zhen also marveled, such a business model truly is like that, the more unobtainable it is, the more one wants it.

"So, you don’t have any invitations at hand? If you do, I can purchase them at a high price?" Ye Zhen asked.

Upon hearing this, the middleman smiled bitterly, "Sir, you truly overestimate me, concerning Five Immortals Island, other commodities we middlemen can manage here and there, but the invitations to the annual auction event are truly beyond our reach.

It’s really beyond reach, occasionally with luck, we might secure some accompanist spots. If so, I will definitely contact you."

Ye Zhen was perplexed, "Is there truly no method to secure an invitation to the annual auction event?"

The middleman sized Ye Zhen up and down, "Sir, truly there isn’t!"

"Truly none?"

"Truly none!" The middleman, slightly unnerved by Ye Zhen’s penetrating gaze, inspected him once again before saying, "Young Master Di, in the central area of the Five Immortals Island, there might be a way to secure an invitation to the annual auction event, but for several hundred years, no one has succeeded. If you have the time, you can go take a look."

"Take a look? What exactly is the method?" Ye Zhen inquired.

"Once you’re there, you will know in a year, just to prove I’m not speaking nonsense," he said.

After sending the middleman away, Ye Zhen furrowed his brow deeply; these invitations to the annual auction event were more sought after and harder to obtain than he had imagined.

According to what the middleman said, currently, there is only one way to obtain the few invitations.

The Five Immortals Island officials, in several monthly auctions, release as few as three and no more than ten lowest-level invitations for the annual auction event, marked as Human-level, available for bidding, with the highest bidder winning the invitation.

This is currently the only way to obtain invitations to the annual auction event, however, these Human-level invitations obtained through bidding typically sell for astronomical prices, with prices increasing as the annual auction approaches.

Notably, for those who have made it a wish to participate in the Five Immortals Island annual auction event, spending regardless of the amount is deemed worthwhile.

According to the middleman, during this final month, the transaction price of a Five Immortals Island annual auction event Human-level invitation is around ten thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Occasionally encountering a madman, prices as high as fifty to sixty thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones are also seen.

What frustrated Ye Zhen most was that as the annual auction event neared, the qualification to participate in these monthly auctions also required a substantial amount of Spirit Stones to purchase the Passing Jade Token, crucially, they had long been sold out.

However, that middleman mentioned that the Passing Jade Token for these monthly auctions could still be obtained, at a price of ten thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones each.

Such pricing made Ye Zhen lament greatly; in this Five Immortals Island, Spiritual Stones indeed appeared worthless.

Under these circumstances, Ye Zhen wanting access to the annual auction event would alone cost him fifty to sixty thousand high-grade Spiritual Stones; it was indeed a stretch for an ordinary person, and even Ye Zhen felt a pang of pain.

"Let’s go check out the central area, what is that method that hasn’t seen success in hundreds of years?" In a flash, Ye Zhen, along with Big Ears, flew toward the central part of the Five Immortals Island.

Almost at the moment Ye Zhen set off, in a mysterious facility underneath the Five Immortals Island, a figure enveloped entirely in hazy Spirit Light was receiving reports from several subordinates.

"Master, recently everything has been normal on the outskirts of the Five Immortals Island; the only notable change is that a minor leader under our banner was swindled, and five subordinates of the Dark Palace Realm were slaughtered," one of the five elderly men in black clothing reported.

The shadow within the Spirit Light sneered upon hearing this, "Those guys, before they take action, should have understood and been prepared for the fate of being slaughtered; however, so this means we might have a newcomer with fairly decent combat power on the Five Immortals Island!"

"Reporting to Master, according to the leader named Daoo Jian, the one who slaughtered them was a martial artist at the Second Stage of the Divine Communication Realm."

"What, just Second Stage of the Divine Communication Realm?" The figure within the Spirit Light changed expression, sitting upright rapidly, "How did it happen, provide detailed information about this?"
