Luo Feng glanced at Luo Fan and laughed.
"Hehe, I'm planning to do the same as my big brother, nurture a Spatial Worm as my avatar."
"A Spatial Worm? That avatar is ridiculously overpowered," Thor said, his envy growing even stronger.
He fully understood just how powerful Luo Fan's Spatial Worm avatar was.
Whether it was the avatar itself, transformation techniques, or wormhole abilities, all were incredibly potent secret techniques.
Most importantly, the avatar also possessed a talent for the Spatial Origin Law.
With the Spatial Worm avatar's innate talent, as long as it continuously devoured fragments of space, it could keep comprehending the mysteries of the Spatial Origin Law.
And that was an upper-level Law!
"Ah, having a talent like that with a secret technique is amazing," Thor sighed.
"Unlike us, the talent techniques we get at Planetary level are… what even are they?"
"Just give me a secret technique like my two little nephews' and I'd be happy!"
Thor made an exaggerated, wailing expression.
He was referring to Luo Fan's two sons, Luo Xingyu and Luo Xingzhou, and their innate secret techniques.
Each of the two little ones had a Water Avatar Secret Technique.
After more than a year of growth, the boys had long since learned to express their thoughts clearly.
At the same time, they had already begun experimenting with the effects of the Water Avatar.
As innate secret techniques, the two boys had understood their abilities from birth.
The Water Avatar was incredibly powerful. It could create three water avatars, each possessing eighty percent of the original's strength.
Even if the original body were destroyed, as long as one water avatar remained, they could use a treasure to restore it back to the original form.
Moreover, these avatars could assist in comprehending the Laws together!
However, because they were water avatars, they could only comprehend the Origin Laws of Water and Space.
Even so, this was already extremely strong.
Three avatars each with eighty percent of the original's strength, combined with the original's power, created a synergy where one plus one exceeded two.
This setup was also extremely useful for exploring the universe.
No wonder Thor was so envious when he learned about it.
If the two boys weren't so perfectly suited to comprehend the Origin Law of Water, Thor might have even considered taking them as disciples.
...
While the group was chatting casually, a white-skinned human elder appeared on the display platform outside the glass.
"Honored guests, I am today's auctioneer... Keiji!"
"This Intermediate Auction is jointly hosted by the Qian Wu Universe Nation, Wanye Universe Nation, Liu Yan Universe Nation, and ninety-five other universe nations!"
"This time, there are a total of 87,000 invited guests in attendance!"
Luo Fan realized that Keiji was referring only to the number of people holding invitation letters on-site, and the figure was enough to leave him somewhat astonished.
He hadn't expected that there would be so many powerful beings here.
The 87,000 invited guests, plus the friends they brought along, the auction hall now likely contained over 150,000 Immortals.
Hearing this, Luo Feng and the others were equally shocked.
Among them, only Hong and Thor had ever seen Immortals before, during their visits to the Wanye and Liu Yan secret realms.
Luo Feng himself had never seen one.
And now, suddenly, there were so many Immortals gathered in one place.
The three of them were understandably stunned.
"Babata, are there really this many Immortals in the surrounding universe nations?"
Luo Feng whispered, glancing at the small creature on his shoulder.
Babata, perched atop Luo Feng, shot him a sidelong glance.
"Who says only people from these universe nations can attend?"
"For the Intermediate Auction, basically all Four-Star Clients and above from hundreds of nearby advanced universe nations receive invitations."
"In fact, this number is still on the low side."
Hearing this, Luo Feng finally understood and nodded in realization.
"All right, I won't waste any more time. Let's begin with the first item, one hundred E1-level Laser Rifles! Starting bid: five hundred Mixed Element Units!"
For items like this, where a hundred identical pieces were being auctioned at once, the transaction would be completed with the top one hundred highest bidders.
"E… E1-level Laser Rifles?!"
"These are weapons that can instantly kill a Domain Lord!"
"Laser Rifles aren't supposed to be restricted items?"
Fang Xueyi said in surprise.
She had been stunned when she first saw it listed in the auction catalog.
Luo Fan, hearing this, replied calmly:
"To a Domain Lord, a Laser Rifle is only somewhat effective."
"Although its attack power is extremely high, if a lower-tier warrior were to use it against a Domain Lord, the Domain Lord could easily destroy them or dodge the attack before they even press the trigger."
"Only warriors of the same level, or slightly weaker, might have a chance to catch their opponent off guard and succeed in killing them during combat."
"So its practical usefulness is… just okay, I'd say."
As Luo Fan explained, if one's strength was insufficient, even a Laser Rifle couldn't kill a Domain Lord, their reaction speed was simply too fast.
Only when there was a small power gap between combatants could a warrior potentially use the Laser Rifle to achieve a surprise victory and slay a Domain Lord.
Even so, there were still many people eager to buy a Laser Rifle for their collection.
The price quickly soared to 4,600 Mixed Element Units, and it continued to climb.
After all, these rifles were rare, and buying one for a collection was still worthwhile.
In the universe, technological items like this were hard currency.
Soon, the E1-level Laser Rifles were sold at a minimum price of 6,700 Mixed Element Units each.
This price wasn't particularly high, mainly because these rifles were only E1-level.
If they had been E4-level or higher, the price would have been dozens of times more expensive.
After all, an E1 Laser Rifle could only threaten the weakest of Domain Lords.
Soon, one auction item after another appeared before their eyes.
Even planets were being sold by star system.
As time passed, more and more treasures were displayed.
Luo Fan, for instance, spent 8,700 Mixed Element Units to purchase 100,000 cubic meters of Lock Divine Water.
This was primarily intended for cultivating the Wanxing Flower. (TL/N: Wanxing means Ten Thousand Star or All-Star. He obtained this flower from the system in Chapter 83)
After all, Lock Divine Water was extremely suitable for cultivating plant life.
Even the Wanxing Flower was no exception.
With this Lock Divine Water, Luo Fan estimated it would only help the Wanxing Flower break through the Domain Lord level.
At present, the Wanxing Flower had just recently surpassed Universal level.
Since Luo Fan planned to let it grow further, he had his avatar take it along to hunt Water Source Beasts.
This trip to the auction had indeed been eye-opening for everyone.
Even Luo Fan himself had discovered several new treasures he hadn't known before.
A few of the rarer items were so unusual that even Babata didn't recognize them.
...
"Next, we will move on to the Biological Special Session."
"The upcoming auction will feature various creatures and biological materials."
"The first item up for auction is a live, Stellar Rank Stage 3 Starry Behemoth — the Cangyan Behemoth! Starting bid: 100,000 Mixed Element Units!"
Seeing the beast in the cage, roaring continuously on the display platform, everyone's gaze instinctively shifted toward Luo Feng.
Luo Feng: "..."
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Feng said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
