Chapter 1779 The Emperor's Request!
"Understood," Qian Duoduo said in a low voice.
"By the way, Alliance Leader, several groups of people came to inquire about you just now, including people from the Star Glory Chamber of Commerce and the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion."
"They seem very interested in you."
Ye Chuyun was not surprised.
His commotion at the registration office inevitably attracted the attention of these powerful figures.
"Ignore it." Ye Chuyun waved her hand.
"I don't plan to get into any deep contact with any forces before the auction ends. I'll wait until I get the Primal Rune Crystal before making any decisions."
"Okay, then I'll keep them hanging for now."
Ye Chuyun stood in front of the stall for a while, observing the transaction. After confirming that everything was going smoothly, she prepared to return to the private room.
However, just as he turned around, a voice came from behind him:
"Young Master Ye, please wait."
Ye Chuyun turned around and saw a young man in white standing not far away with a smile.
It was none other than the young master of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Emperor Yan.
Ye Chuyun stopped and turned to look at the white-clad youth not far away.
Emperor Yan stood there with a gentle, jade-like smile on his face. His robes fluttered without wind, and he seemed to blend into his surroundings, exuding an indescribable sense of harmony.
"Is there something you need, Young Master Yan?" Ye Chuyun asked calmly.
Emperor Yan nodded slightly: "Indeed, there are some things I would like to discuss with Young Master Ye."
"However, there are many people coming and going here, so it's not convenient to discuss this in detail."
"Would Young Master Ye do me the honor of joining me in my private room for a chat?"
Ye Chuyun pondered for a moment.
An invitation taken proactively must have an ulterior motive.
Although Ye Chuyun did not want to have too much contact with other forces before the auction, the existence of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, if handled properly, might become an ally rather than an obstacle.
"Since Young Master Yan has invited me, I will gladly accept." Ye Chuyun nodded.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in the Emperor's eyes, and he gestured for him to follow: "Please come with me."
The two walked one after the other through the bustling commercial area and arrived at a row of private boxes on the west side of the auction house.
Yan Tianzi's private room was number three in the Xuan section, which was a decent location, but it was still far inferior to Ye Chuyun's number one in the Tian section.
Upon entering the private room, Ye Chuyun looked around.
The private room was elegantly decorated, with light blue as the main color. Landscape paintings hung on the walls, and several potted plants were placed in the corner.
"Young Master Ye, please have a seat." Emperor Yan sat down on the grand chair on the left and gestured for him to sit.
Ye Chuyun didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the right.
Tea sets were already prepared on the tea table, and Emperor Yan personally poured tea with fluid and graceful movements, clearly demonstrating his expertise in the art.
"This is Cloud Mist Tea, produced in the Cloud Mist Immortal Mountain of my Celestial Realm. It can only be harvested once every three years."
Emperor Yan pushed a cup of tea in front of Ye Chuyun, "Young Master Ye, please have a taste."
Ye Chuyun picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
The tea soup is slightly bitter at first, but it instantly turns sweet. A warm and refreshing energy flows down the throat and into the body, invigorating the spirit.
"Excellent tea," Ye Chuyun praised.
Emperor Yan smiled slightly and picked up his teacup as well: "I'm glad Young Master Ye likes it."
The two sipped their tea in silence, and the atmosphere became quiet for a moment.
After a moment, Emperor Yan put down his teacup and said bluntly, "Young Master Ye, let's not beat around the bush."
"I invited you here today to talk to you about the auction."
Ye Chuyun remained expressionless: "Young Master Yan, please speak."
"Judging from Young Master Ye's extravagant spending at the registration desk, he must be determined to win this auction." Emperor Yan stared directly at Ye Chuyun.
"May I ask which auction items Young Master Ye is particularly interested in?"
"If possible, I hope that Mr. Ye will be lenient with certain auction items."
Ye Chuyun's heart stirred.
Sure enough.
Emperor Yan saw that he was wealthy and worried that he would be outdone by him in the auction, so he came to find out his strength in advance.
"Young Master Yan is joking," Ye Chuyun said calmly.
"The auction hasn't even started yet, and I haven't even looked at the auction catalog carefully. How would I know what's up for auction?"
"Since Young Master Yan has spoken, he must already have a goal in mind. Why don't you tell us?"
Emperor Yan gave Ye Chuyun a deep look, then suddenly smiled: "Young Master Ye is indeed cautious."
"Since that's the case, I won't hide it anymore."
He took out a jade slip from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table: "This is a list I've compiled, which lists the three auction items I must acquire this time."
"Young Master Ye, you may take a look. If these three items do not conflict with your goals, I hope you will show mercy."
Ye Chuyun picked up the jade slip.
The list details the information for the three auction items.
【Tianji Pan (Number: Jia-97)】
Starting bid: 3 trillion
[Estimated transaction price: 15 to 20 trillion]
[Note: This is a fragment of the innate spiritual treasure, the Heavenly Mystery Disc, containing the laws of heavenly deduction, which is of great benefit to cultivating the art of heavenly divination.]
【Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill (Item No.: B-246)】
Starting bid: 800 billion
Estimated transaction price: 5 to 7 trillion
[Note: This medicine can revive those whose souls are severely injured or on the verge of dissipation; it is a life-saving miracle.]
【Void Divine Iron (Number: C-581)】
Starting bid: 600 billion
[Estimated transaction price: three to four trillion]
[Note: Top-tier material for crafting spatial magical artifacts.]
After reviewing the list, Ye Chuyun quickly made a mental calculation.
Of the three auction items, only the Void Divine Iron was somewhat related to his target.
If we need to build a super-large teleportation array in the future, Void Iron is an excellent material.
However, since it is not a necessity, it is fine to give it to the Emperor Yan.
As for the Heavenly Secrets Disc and the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, they were completely unrelated to his goal.
“Young Master Yan is quite frank.” Ye Chuyun put down the jade slip.
"These three auction items do not conflict with my main objective, however..."
He looked at Emperor Yan and asked, "Why should I give it to you?"
"Auctions are based on the principle of the highest bidder wins. If I want something, I will naturally compete for it."
Emperor Yan seemed to have anticipated this: "Young Master Ye is right, so I am willing to pay the price to get your concessions on these three auction items."
"What price?" Ye Chuyun asked.
"Intelligence," Emperor Yan uttered.
"Our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion is renowned throughout the heavens for its ability to deduce heavenly secrets and gather intelligence. If Young Master Ye is willing to make concessions, I can provide you with three free intelligence services."
"Anything you want to know, as long as it doesn't involve the core secrets of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, I can do my best to find out for you."
Ye Chuyun narrowed her eyes slightly.
The information from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion is indeed very attractive.
Although he has the memories of being reborn, many things have changed now.
If he could obtain intelligence support from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, it would greatly benefit his future development.
“Young Master Yan should know that I have a good relationship with the Myriad Paths Holy City and can enter the Scripture Repository,” Ye Chuyun said slowly.
"The junior monks in the library know almost all the information about the world of gods and demons."
"How does the intelligence from your Heavenly Secrets Pavilion compare to that of Xiao Jing?"
