Bai Yu Mo also glanced at Bai Feng, but then she lowered her head, lost in thought.

Even Gu Yueqing, with a strange expression, slightly turned her gaze away.

“I’m just having a simple discussion about the application scenarios of maid outfits!”

Bai Feng’s lips twitched as he couldn’t help but retort. Although he indeed liked maid outfits, he was genuinely serious about discussing the maid café!

Fortunately, at that moment, the auctioneer had completed the preparations to activate the array disk, drawing everyone’s attention back.

With a look of reverence, he took the round disk from the maid’s hands and slowly placed it on a high table for everyone to see.

Then, he gently pinched a corner of the red cloth. As he slowly pulled it away, the true form of the portable array disk was revealed—a round piece of white jade intricately carved with patterns.

“Now, dear guests, please take a good look!”

The auctioneer slowly placed his hand on the array disk, and in the next moment, a fifth-grade Gathering Spirit Array instantly appeared, enveloping the entire auction house.

Immediately, the concentration of spiritual energy within the auction house surged dramatically.

“This is the portable array disk!”

The auctioneer raised his head to look at the crowd. He didn’t say much, but the effect was more powerful than any words.

The audience fell silent, their eyes fixed on the array disk—Yulinglong’s promotion was real! There really was a portable array!

The auctioneer’s hand brushed over the array disk, and the Gathering Spirit Array slowly retracted, allowing the rich spiritual energy to disperse into the surroundings.

“Now, the auction begins! Since this is our first time obtaining such an array disk, the starting bid is 0. Please feel free to raise your bids!”

Chapter 96: It’s Too Easy for Array Masters to Make Money!

“Ten high-grade spirit stones.”

“Only ten? Are you begging? Fifty!”

“One hundred!”

“Stop wasting time, a thousand!”

“Whoa, going big, huh? One thousand two!”

“Two thousand! Everyone, there’s another one coming up; this is just a fifth-grade Gathering Spirit Array. No need to spend so much!”

“I’m willing, two thousand five!”

“This price could let an array master set up two fifth-grade Gathering Spirit Arrays! Everyone, don’t get carried away! Two thousand six!”

“Ha! This is a portable array; how can that immobile junk compare? Two thousand seven.”

“This array disk is going to be claimed by the Li family! Three thousand!!!”

On the second floor, Bai Feng watched the price of the portable array disk soar, feeling a sense of unreality.

It’s too damn easy for array masters to make money!

Of course, he knew this was because everyone had never seen a portable array disk before, so the initial bids were high. Next time it’s sold, it might not reach such heights.

No, not necessarily. Once the news of the portable array disk spreads, it should attract even more forces to the auction.

What he needed to do was take advantage of this opportunity to categorize and extract more profits.

That way, he could secure more funds to continue his research on arrays, thereby increasing his safety.

“I didn’t expect your auction house, Yuying, to have such good stuff!”

Gu Yueqing looked surprised. Although Yulinglong had been promoting the portable array disk for the past few days, her familiarity with Yulinglong and her busy schedule with array matters had caused her to overlook this auction.

She stared at the portable array disk for a while, shaking her head regretfully. “Too bad it’s just a Gathering Spirit Array; it’s not very helpful for me.”

“There’s another one!” Yuying smiled, not revealing what the next array was, creating a sense of suspense. “The real battle is yet to come.”

“Isn’t the next one a Gathering Spirit Array?”

Gu Yueqing was slightly surprised, looking back at the auctioneer, her curiosity piqued.

“Three thousand three hundred once, three thousand three hundred twice, three thousand three hundred three times! Sold!!! Congratulations to this guest for acquiring the first portable array disk!”

The auctioneer’s hand holding the gavel trembled with excitement; this was the first time he had sold something at this price!

Although the price had nothing to do with him, being a firsthand witness still thrilled him.

In the future, he could boast to other auctioneers that he had sold an item for over three thousand high-grade spirit stones.

As the maid took away the fifth-grade portable array disk, another maid brought up the last portable array disk.

“Next up is the second portable array disk, and also the last one.” The auctioneer took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. “This array disk features a fifth-grade Xuan Turtle Array. After our testing, aside from a smaller range, it is no different in defense from a normal Xuan Turtle Array.”

He lifted the red cloth covering the round disk, revealing the portable array disk inside. He scanned the audience, all eyes wide with anticipation, and said with a slightly excited tone, “I believe you can’t wait any longer, so I won’t say much. Let’s start the auction!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted:

“Ten high-grade spirit stones!”

“Only ten? Are you here to make trouble? Fifty!”

“One hundred!”

“Are you three here to mess things up? If you don’t have money, just sit back and watch! I’ll bid three thousand!”

“Ha ha ha, I’ll let you have the Gathering Spirit Array, but I must have this Xuan Turtle Array! Four thousand!”

“It’s not worth it; for four thousand, you could invite an array master to set up a mother-and-child Xuan Turtle Array. Everyone, don’t get carried away; this is just an ordinary Xuan Turtle Array! Four thousand five!”

“Exactly, don’t be a fool; this array disk isn’t worth that price! Four thousand six!”

“What’s the point of a powerful array if it can’t be carried around? My son’s birthday is next month, and I need a gift. I’m claiming this array disk for five thousand!”

Meanwhile, Li Ming was also captivated by the portable array disk.

Although he could currently create fifth-grade spirit artifacts, arrays and spirit artifacts were still quite different. Spirit artifacts relied on one’s own spiritual power; even if he could use a fifth-grade spirit artifact, his Golden Core cultivation meant he would exhaust his spiritual power after a short while.

But arrays were different; they could use spirit stones. If used properly, a fifth-grade Xuan Turtle Array could even withstand attacks from a Transformation God, making it a perfect life-saving trump card. If there was a downside, it was that they were too expensive.

“Damn it, I thought this was just a small branch with nothing good. I should have paid more attention to the auction items.”

While he was lost in thought, the price had already risen to five thousand three, but the bidding speed had slowed down, clearly reaching their limit.

“I still have a set of spirit artifacts I changed out; they should be worth about three thousand high-grade spirit stones.”

Li Ming pondered, feeling a bit reluctant.

The spirit artifacts he had changed out were not the ordinary items auctioned earlier but true masterpieces, including a complete set of clothing, shoes, gloves, and even a necklace and ring. If sold slowly, getting four thousand wouldn’t be a problem.

But now, he couldn’t afford to think too much!

“Five thousand seven!” Li Ming made up his mind and immediately shouted, “But I don’t have that many spirit stones on me; can I use spirit artifacts to cover part of the cost?”

“Of course, but please have the items appraised in the back first.”

The auctioneer nodded, clearly not unfamiliar with such situations.

Li Ming nodded. “Alright.”

The auctioneer then looked at the others: “If anyone else wants to use other items as collateral, please come to the back for appraisal.”

“Yuying, why are you stopping me?”

Gu Yueqing clutched the bidding paddle tightly, but Yuying held onto her arm firmly.

If the Gathering Spirit Array had only piqued her interest, the Xuan Turtle Array felt like a heart-shaped arrow piercing through her soul.

The moment she laid eyes on the Xuan Turtle Array, she recognized its value.

Unlike sword cultivators or body cultivators, as an archer, she had formidable close-combat abilities, but all her skills were tied to her bow, making her an easy target in battle.

However, with the Xuan Turtle Array, her safety would be guaranteed. Enemies would find it hard to attack or retreat against the turtle shell.

If they ignored her, she could deactivate the array and continue shooting. If they focused on her, she wouldn’t be afraid if there were few enemies; if there were many, it would serve her purpose of restraining them.

So, she had to get this array disk!

“There will be more in the future; don’t rush!”

Yuying genuinely didn’t want Gu Yueqing to be taken advantage of. She knew that the current price of the portable array disk was inflated. Once more portable array disks were available, the price would gradually decrease, making it unnecessary to buy now.

“There will be more in the future?” Gu Yueqing paused her bidding, her face lighting up with surprise. “Do you know this array master, Yuying? Who is he?”
