Chapter 29 – Building of All Phenomena's Olive Branch
Upon hearing the words "Building of All Phenomena," Gu Feng halted his steps.
Initially, when he planned to expand the Loan Treasure Pavilion's business in Heroic Spirit City, he conducted a thorough investigation of all the major shops in the city.
The Building of All Phenomena was one of his key targets for investigation at that time.
Its auction business wasn't limited to Heroic Spirit City; in fact, wherever there were gatherings of cultivators across the four major regions, it had branches.
Behind it stood the mysterious overseas sect—the Building of All Phenomena Sect.
Back then, Gu Feng was quite interested in it, but after a detailed investigation, he found it rather uninteresting.
The reason was simple: the auction business run by the Building of All Phenomena was just too traditional.
This kind of traditional auction business relied on the influence of local nobles or families to auction and sell various rare treasures needed for cultivation, catering to the upper echelons.

Ordinary people had no chance to participate, and even if they did, it was just a lucky individual occasionally obtaining one or two rare treasures and consigning them to the Building of All Phenomena for auction, which was extremely rare.
Undeniably, the cultivators from noble families did monopolize most of the cultivation resources, but their monopoly also meant that the auction business wouldn't have long-term and sustainable profits.
The audience was too small, with no room for growth. Most of the time, it was just serving the nobles, with extremely limited speed and profit margins in wealth extraction.
Gu Feng's goal was to leverage the large population dividend to quickly accumulate massive capital.
Such an outdated industry didn't align with his approach, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
"Building of All Phenomena? Are you here for the Public Selection too?" Gu Feng asked, turning around.
Ouyang Jing glanced at the Public Selection qualification scroll in his hand and smiled awkwardly. It was something Second-rate Chen had risked his life to get back for him. He quickly explained, "To return to the Sequence, the Sequence is always busy, and it's really hard for a small person like me to meet you. I had no choice but to resort to this, hoping the Sequence would understand."
Gu Feng remained silent. So, this guy couldn't meet him through regular channels and had to find a way to get a Public Selection qualification, essentially wanting to use the opportunity to discuss business with him.
This was quite a talent!
Quick-thinking, persistent, a natural sales elite!
Raising an eyebrow, Gu Feng asked, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to discuss a deal with me?"
"Yes, yes, I was indeed presumptuous, but I ask the Sequence to give me a moment of your time!"
Ouyang Jing nodded vigorously, repeatedly agreeing.
"Is that so..." Gu Feng pretended to ponder, then turned away without looking at Ouyang Jing, heading inside. "Follow me in, I'll give you half an hour."
Ouyang Jing was overjoyed, quickly getting up and carefully following Gu Feng into the room, ignoring the others who were starting to pack up and leave.
Inside, the bright candlelight was captivating.
The maids had already prepared calming sandalwood incense.
Ouyang Jing looked around, noticing that everything in the room was of superior grade.
The Building of All Phenomena branch managed by Ouyang Jing desperately needed a major event to make a name for itself. Earning Spirit Stones was no longer important; the key was to execute this marketing campaign well! To give the Heroic Spirit City branch of the Building of All Phenomena a strong boost!
Of course, judging by Gu Feng's tone, it seemed he didn't intend for them to suffer a loss.
There were still opportunities for future cooperation.
"Could you inform me, what exactly is this rare auction item?" Ouyang Jing asked timidly.
Gu Feng smiled slightly, staring at his curious eyes, and said, "The ancient sword formation from the immortal tomb three hundred miles outside Fire Phoenix City in the Qilian Mountains."
"Crash!"
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jing was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand. Realizing his loss of composure, he quickly apologized in panic.
Gu Feng called for a maid with a smile, who cleaned up the mess and brought him a new cup of tea.
Holding the newly served teacup with trembling hands, Ouyang Jing's current mood was like that of a beggar who had been poor for half his life suddenly finding a lump of gold.
Ouyang Jing had long heard of the ancient sword formation from the immortal tomb in the Qilian Mountains!
It was said to be something even Murong Zhengyi, the City Lord of Fire Phoenix City, coveted!
For it, Murong Zhengyi not only personally wiped out the entire Pine Sword Sect but also disregarded the difference in status to pursue the peerless prodigy Ye Tianchen across tens of thousands of miles.
And Ye Tianchen! He relied on the Daoist techniques he practiced within it to repeatedly escape from Murong Zhengyi's grasp with just his peak Golden Elixir Realm cultivation!
What was Murong Zhengyi's cultivation level!? He was a mighty figure in the Spirit Dividing realm!
Ouyang Jing could imagine that if this item appeared on the auction list of the Building of All Phenomena branch in Heroic Spirit City, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation in the entire Eastern Region's cultivation world!
Thinking of this, he suddenly bowed deeply to Gu Feng, repeatedly saying, "I will never forget your great kindness, and in the future, if there's anything the Building of All Phenomena can do for you, just give the word!"
Gu Feng gently helped him up, exchanged a few casual words, and finally instructed Manager Wu to see the satisfied Ouyang Jing out.
After Ouyang Jing left, Gu Feng took out the "Broken Sword" from his Ring Storage, thinking of Ye Tianchen, wondering how he was doing now...
Gu Feng was not a stubborn person; good steel must be used on the blade! As for any special significance, it was completely nonsense. Ye Tianchen wasn't dead yet! It's not like they would never meet again, so there was no need to be so sentimental!
His plan was clear: if Ye Tianchen could practice the sword formation on this Broken Sword at the Golden Elixir Realm, then surely Gu Feng could too.
What he needed to do was quickly implement the Immortal Spirit Communication and Sharing Flying Sword projects, then break through to the Golden Elixir Realm in a short period.
Currently, the Artifact Crafting Department had added a thousand more artifact refiners, more than half of whom were fellow disciples Li Zongwen had poached from the Spirit Control Sect. This kid had strong business skills and quick thinking, even managing to persuade the head of the Spirit Control Sect to join the Artifact Crafting Department to work for Gu Feng.
The production capacity of the Artifact Crafting Department was already enough to meet the needs of eighty million cultivators in Heroic Spirit City, and in a few days, the Immortal Spirit Communication and Sharing Flying Sword would be launched simultaneously, with corresponding policies to follow.
Once Gu Feng's cultivation broke through and he comprehended the sword formation on the Broken Sword, it would no longer have any other use, and keeping it might only invite trouble.
Why not use it to forge a good relationship with the Building of All Phenomena and earn a large amount of Spirit Stones in the process?
"I wonder if, after comprehending the sword formation, I'll be as formidable as Virtuous Brother Ye?"
Stroking the Broken Sword, a sly smile appeared on Gu Feng's face.
