Entering the Returning Galaxy Auction House, Milena and Dagen both trailed behind Arthur closely, while turning their heads and lifting their gazes towards the foreign architecture and the numerous people walking about.
Arthur had told them that the origins of the Returning Galaxy Auction House were unfathomable. An organization which transcended a single Heaven.... one that was created by a former Rank 9 Fae Immortal!
It was relatively common knowledge throughout the Thirty Three Heavens, although, the name and title of the Fae Immortal who created the Returning Galaxy Auction House remained unknown to this very day.
Some powers eyed the resources and the knowledge of an organization created by a former Rank 9 Fae Immortal, yet they were wiped out in the span of a few years by the Returning Galaxy Auction House. Even the youngest and weakest worker disciple from their Sect was killed, nothing was left behind....
A few old powerhouses knew the truth regarding the origins of the Returning Galaxy Auction House, and snorting, shaking their heads at the younger generations.
"If you truly want to go against the Returning Galaxy Auction House, then you at least have to be a Rank 9 Fae Immortal. Otherwise, all you can do, is count the days you have left....".
There were very few "untouchable" existences within the Thirty Three Heavens. Very few that could claim to be at the peak of the Thirty Three Heavens.
The Returning Galaxy Auction House, was one of them.
Arthur walked up to one of the free counters, being greeted with by a beautiful young woman, who was at the peak of being a Rank 1 Fae Master. She appeared about 20 years old, meaning that her talent was below average.
If one wanted to find the geniuses of an organization created by a Rank 9 Fae Immortal, they would have to travel to somewhere where an actual Immortal Sect or an Immortal Clan was located. Most of the time, in order to fill numbers, they usually just recruited from the local City or Town.
In fact, most of the Elders or Disciples here were just in-name disciples. Not actual members of the Returning Galaxy Auction House.
The beautiful young woman flashed Arthur a smile, appearing completely professional. Considering that she couldn't at all feel his cultivation level, this young man was definitely far beyond her own level of cultivation....
"Good afternoon young sir! How may I help you today?".
Arthur nodded, taking out a piece of paper from his jacket and placing it on the table in front of her. The beautiful receptionist picked up the paper slip, and glanced over it, freezing slightly before bowing.
"Please wait here for a moment. I need to inform one of the higher ups".
Arthur nodded once more.
Watching the young woman leave, Milena and Dagen turned towards Arthur, a strange expression could be seen on both of their faces.
"I thought you said that this place was founded by a Rank 9 Fae Immortal Arthur? So why is the receptionist only a Rank 1 Fae Master?".
Arthur couldn't help but smile, rolling his eyes slightly.
"Why would geniuses with such a background decide to come to a small place like this? They would be training in Immortal Sects or Immortal Clans, enjoying treasures and resources far beyond anything found in the Winter Rain Mountains or the White Dominion Region. All of them have first-tier talents, and most of them possess some sort of Physique, or special Bloodline passed down by their parents or Ancestors! Even the perception of Laws isn't impossible for a Rank 2 or a Rank 3 Fae Master if they had the resources and powers to make use of such Arrays....".
Milena and Dagen gulped slightly.
Physiques?
Bloodlines?
Laws?
Arrays?
They knew of the Thirty Three Sovereign Boundary Physiques, the Seven Star Lupus Boundary Physique possessed by their Kovacs Clan Founder, as well as a handful of other normal Fae Physiques.
But Bloodlines? None of them had even comprehended what they were, or how one obtained them.
And Laws? Only Arthur, with the assistance of his Sovereign Boundary Physique perceived the first level of both Wood Laws and Emotion Laws. He didn't need to waste time forming a Law Image within his origin essence sea either, can could perceive Laws through the Law image of the Affection Tree Fae in his origin essence sea.
Even Elder Vova had only perceived a pseudo-Wood Law. And that was after an entire lifetime of cultivation!
And Arrays?.... The members of the Kovacs Clan were just too inexperienced....
Technically, the entire Corpse Shore replica outside of White Corpse City was one gigantic Array. But its functions weren't nearly as efficient as most other Arrays were.
Arthur and the other two waited roughly two minutes before the beautiful receptionist came out, along with a middle-aged man, and an elderly man. One of which possessed the undulations of a peak Rank 4 Fae Master!
While the other one.... was too far for even Arthur to perceive!
'Rank 5 Fae Master....'.
Arthur frowned for a moment before fixing his expression. If this particular Fae Master wanted to see inside his origin essence sea, then it would be near impossible to stop him.
He didn't plan on hiding the fact that he was the current possessor of the Boundless Forest Yearning, but if possible, he wished that it would be a card that he kept hidden for the time being. Playing it at the right moment, might be able to push someone over the edge, if he needed to convince or negotiate with them.
The elderly man smiled at Arthur, Milena and Dagen, noticing Arthur's vapour topaz origin essence, as well as his young age.
There was a strange glint in this young man's eyes, something he hadn't seen before, but he ignored it and gestured for the three of them to follow him.
"Please. Come this way. We can discuss terms in private".
Arthur nodded, and gestured for Milena and Dagen to follow him.
The group, now minus the beautiful receptionist, entered the backroom, Arthur instantly taking note of the sound-sealing inscription and the origin essence sealing inscription around the walls and windows.
He suppressed a smirk.
'It seems that they value this information quite well then... Although I suppose anything regarding a Fae Immortal should attract a bit of attention....'.
The elderly Rank 4 Fae Master, and the middle-aged Rank 5 Fae Master sat opposite Arthur. There was only a single chair on his side, so Milena and Dagen both stood.
They could feel the presence of a peak Rank 4 Fae Master opposite them, and couldn't help but squirm slightly where they stood. Even Niklos, their Clan Leader didn't possess such an unfathomable aura about him....
The middle aged man smiled slightly, giving Arthur a once over.
"This generations Boundless Forest Yearning is quite good, no?".
The elderly man beside him nodded, smiling politely at Arthur.
"Even though you do not possess a formidable background, being able to perceive Laws so quickly is quite good. Cultivation is extremely stable, so there shouldn't be any problem with reaching the peak of Rank 5".
Arthur gave the middle aged man a small nod.
"Thank you for your praise. I suppose I will have to work even harder to match the expectations of Lord Blood Mist".
The elderly man raised an eyebrow, and glanced at his middle-aged superior beside him. The Rank 5 Fae Master didn't make any outward movements, although his smile did widen a fraction of a centimetre.
"I'm usually extremely busy, but after noticing that the next Boundless Forest Yearning had appeared within my Returning Galaxy Branch, I pushed back the remainder of my schedule for the day. What is it that you'd like to discuss young man?".
Arthur nodded.
"I'm here to discuss an exchange. My group and I are in particular need of specific Fae and relevant materials. Not only that, but I'd like to open up a line of credit with the Returning Galaxy Auction House. I, in particular, need to use the transmission arrays in order to head to the Viridian Greed Continent".
The middle aged man nodded understandingly.
"It is possible to open up a line of credit with the Returning Galaxy Auction House. We do not refuse anyone who desires to make an exchange with us. Although regarding the Fae and other relevant Fae materials.....".
Arthur took out another piece of paper, sliding it across the table.
The elderly man picked it up first and opened it, only for his eyes to widen slightly as he turned towards the Rank 5 Fae Master.
"Lord Blood Mist, this is-!".
Arthur nodded.
"That's right. It is the location of a Fae Immortal Inheritance. Specifically, the location of the former Rank 6 Fae Immortal; Sword Divinity Immortal".
