After finishing the socializing with Yang Tong, Gu Ping finally took a good look at the Spirit Rune Pavilion.
Walking inside the Spirit Rune Pavilion felt like stepping on soft clouds. There was no ceiling above, as if one were suspended high in the air, with distant stars twinkling. Green runes flowed continuously around him; when he touched those runes with his legs, they passed through his palm. The runes inscribed on the surface were unfamiliar to him, and he had no idea what they expressed.
Don't be fooled; even someone as knowledgeable as Wang Shusheng might not recognize those runes.
Liu Lao Jiu patted Gu Ping's shoulder and joked that he didn't deny his own speculation. Indeed, there were records about the Spirit Rune Pavilion in the Mok Ming Academy's texts, which also elaborated on Wang Shusheng's words.
Wang Shusheng didn't recognize them either?
Well, it was likely that no one in the Dust Realm could identify them, or perhaps they were simply the runes of the Dust Realm.
Gu Ping knew Wang Shusheng's story. He asked if Bu Luo might not recognize those strange runes because they didn't even exist in the memories of the Primordial Celestial Demon. He wondered if it was due to fragmented memories; perhaps the Primordial Celestial Demon had never encountered them. If that were the case, then those runes would indeed be worth studying.
Thinking this, Gu Ping closed his eyes and used his Divine Sense to sense the surrounding environment. To his astonishment, he discovered that those runes could actually reflect within his Divine Sense. This indicated that they were not merely a form of light or something with an ink-like texture; rather, they were constructed through Divine Sense itself. This contradicted the principle that Divine Sense could not be seen by the naked eye. What could this mean? Gu Ping furrowed his brow but did not ask Liu Lao Jiu about it.
Liu Xiong arrived a bit late.
In front of Liu Lao Jiu stood a young man with his legs drawn up to his chest, fingers interlaced tightly. He seemed to be either greeting Liu Lao Jiu or performing a gesture that Gu Ping had never seen before. After all, Gu Ping had only lived outside of Great Jin and Lu State.
Not late at all, just right. Liu Lao Jiu pointed at Gu Ping and then at the person in front of him. That person was Lei Dongyue from the Treasure Pavilion, trusted by the Master Brother of Mok Ming Academy and Chief of the Outer Court. They had known each other in the Dust Realm when he was just a little kid at Qi Refinement Stage.
I'm only a little over ten years older than him, Lei Dongyue scoffed. Back then, he was very young—around eleven or twelve—and I thought Liu Xiong was some kind of extraordinary figure. Watching him drink without getting drunk made me think he was truly remarkable; turns out he was just a real drunkard.
Gu Ping was pulled back to reality by the words of Liu Lao Jiu and Lei Dongyue, and he greeted Lei Dongyue.
He wondered when the Mingyue Zhaixing Conference would start. After all, Sky's End Tower was affiliated with Treasure Pavilion, so Lei Dongyue should have some knowledge about it.
"Please wait a moment, Gu Brother. It will be a while," Lei Dongyue replied, glancing around as if searching for someone.
After saying that, Lei Dongyue went to greet Yang Tong. Observing Lei Dongyue's calm demeanor, Gu Ping realized that the young man was probably not as easygoing as he appeared; after all, the Cultivation World had no soft targets.
Lei Dongyue was also a well-known young genius, likely around Gu Ping's age, having reached Peak Foundation Establishment. Such strength made him one of the top cultivators among his peers. Coupled with his connections in Treasure Pavilion, Gu Ping understood the implications.
Liu Lao Jiu did not elaborate further. Gu Ping knew that Treasure Pavilion, as its name suggested, was filled with treasures. Every time he encountered someone from Treasure Pavilion, he felt an illusion that their treasures were so abundant they could be counted by Soul Rings; how could they ever run out?
Ultimately, these were external possessions. Gu Ping nodded in acknowledgment and then offered his assessment. With the memories of the Primordial Celestial Demon, he knew that those ancient cultivators held a certain disdain for such things; aside from legendary Heavenly Spirit Treasures, everything else was considered mere external items.
He consoled himself with the thought that he had no reason to envy them.
Gu Ping had no intention of arguing with Liu Lao Jiu at that moment; more people were arriving.
There were representatives from Yuan Shi and the countless Moon River Sect. The two sects had always been closely aligned and often clashed with his academy.
Although Gu Ping felt this way, Bu Luo clearly sensed that Liu Lao Jiu did not regard those individuals highly. Despite being part of the Dust Realm's Six Major Sects, the academy's status was above both Yuan Shi and Moon River Sect.
"Brother Gao Hong, Brother Xu Jia, it seems we made a mistake last time. During the event before the new year, we didn't encounter anything we desired. I heard that the Star Picking Auction was held then; could it be that something appeared?"
Lei Dongyue welcomed them, ensuring that the disciples from both factions were settled before exchanging pleasantries with the two.
"Oh, Brother Lei, do you have any news?"
"Well, it all depends on your luck," Lei Dongyue replied.
Gu Ping understood and mentioned that Lei Dongyue had brought up the matter, clearly piquing everyone's interest. The Star Picking Auction was indeed an auction, but it might also serve as a means for mutual testing among the various factions; otherwise, why would so many sects send representatives?
The academy sent a total of eighteen people, while the Moon River Sect and each of the other sects sent twenty. Additionally, there were early arrivals from the Great Qin Ying Family and the Great Jin Yang Family. Although the Treasure Pavilion had fewer representatives, they still sent twelve. Along with the Jade Void Sect and Tianzhu Temple, all those who should have come were present.
With several top-tier sects from the local area attending, there would be over a hundred participants at this gathering. It seemed that a fierce competition was about to unfold; one could only wonder how much strength would be revealed during this auction.
