Inside his personal dorm room.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged, surrounded by flames, as if immersed in a sea of fire.
He closed his eyes tightly, concentrating fully on circulating the Burning Art Cultivation Technique, his spirit power surging endlessly through his Meridians.
Suddenly, Fang Yang's brow furrowed slightly, and the fire pearl, which had been dormant within him, abruptly stirred with an intense tremor.
"This is…"
He abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing within them.
Fang Yang didn't hesitate to compose himself, quickly submerging his consciousness into the internal space of the fire pearl.
In an instant, the space before him twisted, and when he slowly opened his eyes, the familiar Fire Square stood before him.
Twenty-three towering pillars stood majestically, each Binding different colored flames, emitting heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
Fang Yang's gaze swept across the Fire Square, then he walked directly towards the center.
However, when he arrived at the center of the Fire Square, he discovered that a new altar had appeared there at some unknown time!
It was a massive hexagonal altar, constructed from dark red unknown stone, with magma-like patterns flowing across its surface, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"An altar?"
Fang Yang murmured softly, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He slowly approached, able to sense the ancient aura emanating from the altar, as if it were recounting some unknown secret.
Just then, as if in response to Fang Yang's question.
The fire pearl within him suddenly trembled subtly. Immediately after, a stream of Legacy information directly poured into Fang Yang's mind.
Among the twenty-three flame patterns engraved on the surface of the fire pearl, the one representing the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire shone brightly, emitting a dazzling red light.
A moment later, Fang Yang opened his eyes, a sharp glint flickering within them: "So this is what appeared after I devoured the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, the Legacy Altar!"
He stepped towards the Legacy Altar, placing his palm gently on its surface.
Instantly, the flames on the Legacy Altar surged.
A ball of flame slowly rose from the center of the Legacy Altar, emitting a soft yet mysterious glow.
Fang Yang extended both hands, catching the ball of flame.
The moment his fingertips touched the ball of flame, it suddenly burst forth with dazzling light.
Immediately, a vast and immense stream of information poured directly into his mind.
Fang Yang felt a momentary blackout, and he fell into a brief state of daze.
When he recovered, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement: "I never imagined it would be a Ninth Rank Alchemy Legacy!"
This Ninth Rank Alchemy Legacy not only included Alchemy techniques but also countless rare Pill Formulas.
Combined with his Spirit and the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, Fang Yang could completely refine various Spiritual Plants into Medicinal Pills that would enhance his strength.
After the initial excitement, Fang Yang quickly calmed down. He realized a practical problem.
He had no Spiritual Plants on hand and couldn't even begin Alchemy.
"It seems I'll have to find a way to collect some basic Spiritual Plants…"
Fang Yang murmured to himself.
Just then, a crisp knocking sound interrupted his thoughts.
"Knock knock!"
Fang Yang got up and walked to the door, opening it.
What greeted him was Gu Yue's delicate face. She was dressed in a light purple long dress, her black hair cascading like a waterfall.
Ever since Zero Class's dorms were rearranged, Gu Yue had been living next door to him.
"Fang Yang, do you want to… come out for a walk with me?" Gu Yue asked softly, a hint of anticipation in her voice.
"Sure."
Fang Yang smiled slightly and naturally took Gu Yue's hand.
Just like that, the two walked out of the dorm, their fingers intertwined.
…
The Donghai Museum is located in the southern part of Donghai City's center, a building of ancient simplicity and elegance. It consists of a main building and two auxiliary buildings.
The main building displays specimens of various rare Spirit Beasts, artifacts witnessing the development history of Donghai City, and some precious items from various eras.
The auxiliary building on the left houses the auction display area, while the auction itself is held on the upper floors of the main building. As for the auction venue, it's on the upper floors of the main building.
Among them, the auction display area in the auxiliary building does not require an entrance ticket and can be entered directly, with a continuous stream of visitors.
The auxiliary building has four floors, and although it is only an auxiliary building, it is massive in scale. From the outside, the building is at least two hundred meters wide.
As Donghai City is the second-largest city in the eastern coastal region, the scale of the auction house within this museum is naturally immense.
From the first to the fourth floor, all areas are dedicated to displaying auction items, categorized and exhibited according to different classifications and Ranks. Of course, some particularly rare and expensive items are only displayed in special areas, which are not accessible to everyone.
Upon entering, Fang Yang and Gu Yue saw a large sign indicating that the first floor of the auction display area was divided into two main sections: the spirit tool Special Zone and the Non-spirit tool Special Zone.
The spirit tool Special Zone was further subdivided into multiple sub-areas, such as the Rare Metal Zone and the Finished spirit tool Zone.
"What do you want to buy?" Gu Yue asked softly.
Fang Yang replied, "Let's go to the Non-spirit tool Special Zone. I want to see if there are any Spiritual Plants."
"Spiritual Plants?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Gu Yue's eyes, "What do you need Spiritual Plants for?"
"Of course, they're useful." Fang Yang smiled mysteriously, holding Gu Yue's hand as he walked towards the exhibition area.
Around them were huge glass cases, displaying many rare treasures.
Soon, the two arrived at a spacious rectangular room.
This room was about three hundred square meters, showcasing various Spiritual Fruits and rare Spiritual Plants.
Each Spiritual Fruit was accompanied by a detailed description card:
"Dragon Spiritual Plant, ten-year-old, rare plant, starting bid two hundred sixty thousand federal currency, estimated成交价 thirty to thirty-five thousand federal currency."
"Crystal Peach, twenty to thirty-year-old, nourishing Spiritual Fruit, starting bid one hundred fifty thousand federal currency, estimated成交价 one hundred eighty to two hundred ten thousand federal currency."
Fang Yang's gaze roamed among the display cases, searching for Spiritual Plants suitable for Alchemy.
Gu Yue quietly followed beside him, occasionally curiously observing the exhibits around them.
"Fang Yang, what kind of Spiritual Plant do you want?" Gu Yue asked softly.
Fang Yang secretly smiled bitterly. With his current savings, he could at most buy some thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants; anything more precious was simply unaffordable.
"Ahem, I'm just here to look first…" Fang Yang said, a bit awkwardly.
Gu Yue saw through Fang Yang's predicament at a glance. She gently called out, "Receptionist."
A woman in uniform quickly walked over, bowing respectfully: "Hello, esteemed guest, how may I help you?"
"Can you help me reserve the entire Spiritual Plant area on the first floor?" Gu Yue asked calmly.
The female receptionist was visibly stunned, confirming in disbelief: "Esteemed guest, are you saying… you want to buy all the exhibits in the entire Spiritual Plant area on the first floor?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Gu Yue asked calmly, taking out a black-gold card from her embrace.
The female receptionist's pupils contracted sharply when she saw the black-gold card.
"This… this is the Federal Bank's Supreme Black-Gold Card? Esteemed guest, please wait a moment!"
