Chapter 62: Chapter 62 - Twin Connection Formation
Of course, besides the people who seemed confused about the actions of the Yan Chamber of Commerce, some older people immediately started to become a bit more cautious, thinking:
"Could it be a trap? After all, if someone is willing to pay such an exorbitant price, they must know the true value of this item."
This was the thought of some of the more experienced cultivators.
For them, the fact that the Yan Chamber of Commerce did not understand the exact nature of the item but still positioned it as one of the last in the auction meant that they believed it was probably something valuable.
But if someone actually spent such a high amount to acquire this stone, it could only mean one thing: they probably know the utility of the stone.
And who can guarantee that the Yan Chamber of Commerce would not secretly try to recover the item and force the buyer to reveal its true value?
For this reason, some of the more experienced cultivators, who were even willing to try their luck and acquire the item, hesitated a bit.
Naturally, this thought was still a minority among all those present.
"I offer 150,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
As soon as this voice emerged, no matter who it was, all those who had disdainful, curious, or cautious expressions towards the stone immediately showed surprise on their faces.
Because the source of the voice was from private room N1.
And only one person could be in that private room: The Eighth Prince of the Dynasty and the greatest genius of the eastern region, Song Yang.
After discovering that it was Song Yang who made the offer, the auction instantly fell into silence.
After all, what is the most talked-about topic in the dynasty these days?
Of course, it is about the unparalleled genius and first in the history of the eastern region who has already managed to become a Saint at 24 years old, Song Yang.
"Was that voice from private room number 1?"
"Yes, that's right, it is probably His Highness, Song Yang."
...
Immediately, the place was filled with animated murmurs.
It hardly seemed like, just a few days ago, this prince who caused such excitement had publicly killed the provincial governor.
After all, it is human nature. When they discovered that Song Yang had become the greatest genius in the history of the eastern region, they felt immense pride that he was from the Zhenfang Dynasty. It was as if the greatest genius in history was not just Song Yang, but themselves.
"A twin connection formation!"
Inside private room number 1, Song Yang looked with interest at the stone that was on the auction stage. With his imperial-level knowledge of formations, he immediately perceived the mystery of the stone.
This stone was an object that possessed half of a twin connection formation, a grade 9 formation that was extremely special. It could be said that, even for Song Yang, it would be impossible to complete it.
Because to create such a formation, you need to make half of the formation on each object, creating a connection between them.
The function of this formation is to turn these objects into signalers, which will emit signals when they are near each other.
Usually, it is used to locate hidden treasures or even inheritances, with one object staying with the possessor and the other remaining at the treasure location.
Thus, even if the person who hid the treasure dies, their descendants can still find it!
With this thought, Song Yang showed a slight smile: "It looks like I might go on a treasure hunt in the future.'"
On the stage, the auctioneer looked around and noticed that no one seemed interested in making a bid.
In her heart, she understood that even if someone had a small desire to take a risk and buy this mysterious stone, once Song Yang made the offer, the auction was practically over.
After all, no one would be willing to offend an uncommon genius for something they did not know would bring benefits, much less the greatest genius in the history of the eastern region.
In his private room, Liang Huo, who heard the conversations below, showed an expression of envy and clenched his fists while thinking:
"If I were like Song Yang, the greatest genius of the eastern region, Ling'er probably wouldn't have married that master from the Shura Palace."
For a moment, Liang Huo almost let his envy take over and tried to impulsively compete with Song Yang, but he quickly controlled himself.
Although he did not fear that Song Yang would do something against him, given that he was Sun Donghai's personal disciple, competing with Song Yang was unnecessary. There was no need to offend Song Yang due to an impulsive action.
Regarding thinking that Song Yang would not dare to kill him, he had his reasons.
After all, it can be said that, as long as he did not do something extremely excessive, no one would dare to kill him in the Zhenfang Dynasty.
Even the emperor would not dare to kill Liang Huo trivially, as it would mean completely severing relations with the Blue Lotus Sect.
But, similarly, he would not dare to kill Song Yang, and in fact, he could not.
If, due to an impulsive act, he caused Song Yang to hold a grudge and, in the future, Song Yang, upon taking the throne, used it as an excuse for the Dynasty to destroy the Blue Lotus Sect, Liang Huo would never forgive himself.
After all, although Song Yang would not dare to kill him today, in the future, his cultivation would likely explode.
By then, not to mention the Blue Lotus Sect, even the two sacred lands could be easily crushed by Song Yang.
Even Liang Huo had to admit in his heart that the future for a genius like Song Yang was not limited to just the small eastern region.
'I want this stone. I offer 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones!'
Suddenly, a hoarse and old voice echoed throughout the pavilion, immediately alarming everyone and sparking discussions.
"Where did that voice come from?"
"It seems it came from private room number 2. But who could it be daring to compete against the Eighth Prince?"
"Yes, doesn't he know that the Eighth Prince is the greatest genius of the eastern region?"
"Wait, that voice sounds extremely familiar. It seems I've heard it somewhere before..."
"After all, he was in the second private room. His identity is probably not simple."
Suddenly, there was a slight noise, and everyone turned their attention to the door of private room N2, which had been opened.
Then, an old man slowly walked out and, looking towards Song Yang's private room, spoke in his hoarse voice:
"This stone is very important to me. Could Your Highness give a bit of face to this old man?"
