Chapter 478, Servants
The auction, which lasted for more than ten days, ended when the last item, the Chaos Treasure Battle Blade—said to be the primary weapon used by a Chaos Realm transcendent before his fall—was purchased by a powerful figure for 6.9 billion cosmic sands.
Ye Muxuan's consciousness was kicked out and returned to the Chaos Armor Cave No. 65. The cyan token was still placed in front of him, as if it were all a dream.
However, at Ye Muxuan's level, he can naturally distinguish between reality and illusion. Even an ordinary Chaos Ruler would not be able to make him unconsciously fall into an illusion.
Picking up the cyan token, it clearly recorded what Ye Muxuan had won in the auction, as well as the amount of cosmic sand remaining after the Chaos Treasure he provided was auctioned off.
The tokens provided by the Flamewind Guild now have two uses: one is to obtain the auctioned items at any Flamewind Guild in any city, and the other is to obtain them directly in the cave.
Since this token can lock the user's location, it can also be used as an anchor point to directly teleport items. This is for the benefit of users who participate in the auction while training in the wild, so they don't have to go back. In any case, after the item is teleported, the token will be directly retrieved by the Flamewind Guild, without revealing the user's location.
This convenience is something the virtual universe cannot provide. In the virtual universe, bidding for and purchasing items requires waiting for a period of time, but with this token, items can be instantly transported as long as the user is still within the Origin Continent.
Ye Muxuan left the Azure Crystal Jade Pagoda, activated the array passage, and arrived at the pavilion atop the highest snow-capped mountain.
He reached out and crushed the cyan talisman. The numerous complex array patterns turned the talisman into a cyan halo. In just one breath, seven sealed purple jade boxes were teleported out from the halo and landed on the ground. Then, the cyan halo gradually dissipated.
Ye Muxuan looked at the seven purple jade boxes. They were made of very ordinary materials, but the sealing array patterns on them were worth studying for a while. They were definitely the work of an array master.
Unfortunately, it's a one-time use array pattern. Once the jade box is opened, the array pattern will be destroyed along with the jade box.
After studying it for a while, Ye Muxuan determined that it was a rough combination of "trapping array" and "spirit array". Unfortunately, Ye Muxuan mainly cultivated killing arrays, so this combination of array patterns was only for reference and he would not switch to cultivating it at present.
The first purple jade box was opened, revealing eleven silver jade bottles inside, which contained the Time-Space Liquid.
The second purple jade box was opened, revealing a cyan jade bottle. Ye Muxuan picked it up and examined it; it contained his cosmic sand. After deducting handling fees and the auctioned treasures, he still had over 31 million, making his current floating wealth in the tens of millions.
Sure enough, no one gets rich without unexpected wealth. Although it was unintentional, the resources he gained from killing Pu Ba God were enough for him to cultivate to the Chaos Ruler realm with peace of mind.
His reputation in Snowfield City is now extremely high, and few organizations or forces are willing to provoke him, not even the City Lord's Mansion. On the contrary, many True Gods and Void True Gods are willing to pay a high price to have his name attached to them and receive his protection.
However, for Ye Muxuan, the so-called fame was not of much use. It was just a way to use this reputation so that he could cultivate in peace without being disturbed.
The five jade boxes behind contained the array base materials that Ye Muxuan had won in the auction. There were over a hundred pieces of five different types, which cost him more than 40 million cosmic sands. With these materials, he believed he could achieve his goal.
Gazing at the vast ice lake with a diameter of a million kilometers in the distance, Ye Muxuan stepped down to the edge of the lake, casually broke off a long and flexible purple bamboo from the lakeside to use as a fishing rod, pulled out a crystal-clear thin line, and began fishing right there on the shore of this enormous ice lake.
The snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and lakes within the cave are not entirely devoid of life or death. Some intelligent polar creatures naturally inhabit them. Under divine power, one can see a wide variety of fish swimming in the depths of the glacial lake.
The cave dwellings for sale are inspected periodically by officials from the city lord's mansion. If any sentient beings are found inside, they are either captured or killed on the spot. In the long history of Snowfield City, only once has a sentient beast been discovered in a cave dwelling after it has been sold.
Snowflakes drifted down, and Ye Muxuan's head and body, which were not separated from the snow, were soon covered with snow.
Three days later, Ye Muxuan opened his eyes, looked at the calm surface of the frozen lake where many fish frolicked beneath, and shook his head. Without cheating, he really didn't have any talent for fishing; in three days, he hadn't caught a single fish.
Everyone says there's a protection period for newbies, but that's fake.
Filled with resentment, Ye Muxuan casually tossed aside the purple bamboo fishing rod. The array in the cave indicated that a guest had arrived.
That's the downside of not having servants; if any guests come, you have to deal with them yourself. Of course, if you're in seclusion cultivating, then it doesn't matter. Unless there's a war in Snowfield City, currently no organization, force, or powerful individual is willing to force their way into the Nightfall God's cave.
The formation was activated, the cave entrance opened, and a Void God with bowed head and five other True Gods stood at the door, not daring to enter.
Snowfield City is vast, and naturally, it has many slave traders. These organized traders sell pre-trained servants, and of course, at exorbitant prices.
If you want something cheap, go to the south side of the city. Every day, hundreds of millions of true gods from all races enter the city full of hope from dawn until they leave helplessly at nightfall, all in the hope of being favored by some important figure.
Not all servants were plundered by merchants; many were servants of important figures voluntarily, in order to earn resources for cultivation and to avoid the dangers of wild tribes.
Even if it's voluntary, one must have a special skill to attract important figures to buy their services. For example, Lu Lan of Yanyu Tower was skilled in dancing, and there were also people in her clan who were good at playing musical instruments. They formed a group and voluntarily became partners of Yanyu Tower, which is how she joined the tower.
The Void True God who has just arrived is the head of one of the top five merchant guilds in Snowfield City. Ye Muxuan found this guild through the recommendation of Dark Edge God Lord. After learning that Nightfall God Lord wanted to buy several servants, the head of the guild was excited for several months and carefully selected these five True Gods.
Ye Muxuan walked to the door, glanced at the six people, and said, "Come in."
"Thank you, Divine Lord!" The Void True God, bowing and scraping, led five True Gods into the cave dwelling that was being watched by many eyes.
Inside the main hall used for receiving guests, Ye Muxuan sat in the main seat. He glanced at the five True Gods with his own light. Their appearance and temperament were all acceptable, and they were obviously chosen by the person in charge.
"I need three servants to manage the cave dwelling. I believe the merchant guild has already explained this to you." Ye Muxuan's voice gradually became ethereal. Although he did not specialize in the illusionary arts, his level was more than enough to deal with a mere five True Gods and one Void True God. He instantly trapped all six of them in an illusion.
After all, his eldest disciple, Qingying Zhenshen, was the master of the Soul School, and his third disciple, Yinhun Gongzhu, was an illusionist.
