So at this moment.

The desire for that key among the crowd did not diminish in the slightest; instead, it grew even stronger.

Because after hearing Tian Hanshan's explanation, they were relieved; they didn't have to worry about buying a fake, so they could boldly participate in the auction!

"Does anyone have any questions now?"

Tian Hanshan looked at the people present and asked with a smile.

"No, hurry and unveil the red cloth, let us see what this legendary key looks like!"

A wealthy merchant urged.

Hearing this, Tian Hanshan smiled faintly, then turned his head to look at the maid, and said with a smile, "Unveil the red cloth!"

"Yes!"

The maid responded and then carefully removed the red cloth covering the tray.

Instantly, the so-called key to the Inheritance Treasure was presented before everyone's eyes.

It was a delicate red pagoda, about half a meter tall.

Its appearance was almost identical to the towers in temples, a miniature version of a pagoda.

The crowd, including Chen Feng, was stunned upon seeing this.

Obviously, no one had expected.

The legendary treasure key would actually be a pagoda.

This was quite unexpected.

Feeling the amazed gazes from the crowd.

Tian Hanshan's mouth slightly curled up, then he smiled and said, "This is the treasure's key! As far as I know, the five keys to the treasure are all five towers, divided by the Five Elements, namely the Golden Pagoda, the Green Wood Pagoda, the Divine Water Pagoda, the Liehuo Pagoda, and the Mud Treasure Pagoda. When all five towers gather, the treasure gate can be opened, and the one presented to everyone now is the Liehuo Pagoda!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room nodded thoughtfully.

"Alright, without further ado, I believe everyone can't wait, so let's start the auction below!"

Tian Hanshan smiled slightly and then looked at everyone present and said, "The Inheritance Treasure Key, the Liehuo Pagoda, starting price, ten billion, each increase shall not be less than ten million, the auction starts now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, many people present took a sharp intake of breath.

Although this was just one of the five keys.

But it really wasn't cheap at all!

To know, so many lots earlier, not a single one had a starting price over five billion!

Even the Royal Jade that sold for one hundred billion, had a starting price of only one billion.

Yet this Liehuo Pagoda started directly at ten billion, already matching the previous black pearl's closing price.

This was truly terrifying.

Many who were originally eager, gave up instantly.

Because just the starting price made them flinch!

Let alone participating in the auction.

The price was utterly beyond their reach!

"Ten billion one million!"

But soon, the first bidding voice sounded in the venue.

As this voice came out.

One after another, bidding voices echoed.

After all, quite a few people still wanted it.

Of course, the main contenders for this Liehuo Pagoda.

Were those seated in the prime VIP area.

They mostly came from Ancient Martial forces, carrying the missions of their families or sects.

So they absolutely had to secure this Liehuo Pagoda.

At this moment, they were going all out, bidding desperately.

While in the high-level VIP area, although some people still bid initially.

But as the prices soared linearly.

Gradually, the people in the high-level VIP area simply became spectators; no one dared bid anymore, because they couldn't keep up.

As for the ordinary guest area, that went without saying.

Chen Feng sat in his chair, quietly watching this scene, frowning, also contemplating.

He didn't know whether he should bid or not.

He certainly had the money, he could afford it.

But the key was whether spending so much money on this was worth it?

And just as Chen Feng was pondering.

A voice rang in Chen Feng's mind.

"Young man, what are you hesitating about?"

Upon hearing this voice, Chen Feng was taken aback, then quickly responded with his consciousness, "Senior, you know about the key?"

"Yes, I also know you're hesitating!"

The old Taoist smiled and said.

"Well, I am indeed hesitating because I don't know if it's worth it. After all, it's just one of the five keys, and if I don't get the other four, having just this one is useless!"

Chen Feng said helplessly.

"To others, it might be useless, but to you, it's definitely useful. Moreover, this Liehuo Pagoda is crucial to you, you must buy it!"

The old Taoist said with a smile.

"Huh? Why?"

Chen Feng was taken aback, puzzled.

"Young lad, do you want to know which ancient superpower this Inheritance Treasure belongs to?"

The old Taoist asked.

"I do, do you know?"

Chen Feng puzzled.

"Of course, judging from the Liehuo Pagoda used to open the treasure gate, if I'm not mistaken, this superpower is the once renowned ancient super sect, the Five Elements Sect!"

The old Taoist analyzed.

"Five Elements Sect?"

Chen Feng was taken aback.

"That's right, the Five Elements Sect was a true superpower, whose brilliance back then was unmatched by nearly anyone—a true dominator of that age!"

The old Taoist said with some longing.

From his tone, it was clear.

He had some respect for the Five Elements Sect!

"I see, but what does that have to do with me?"

Chen Feng asked puzzled.

"Silly boy, do you know where your current cultivation technique Five Elements Reincarnation Technique, and your often-used Five Elements Eight Diagram Palm come from?"

The old Taoist asked with a smile.

On hearing this, Chen Feng was taken aback, then quickly reacted, shocked, "You can't mean they all come from the Five Elements Sect?"

"That's right, the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique is the Five Elements Sect's core technique, as well as the Five Elements Eight Diagram Palm. Only the inner sect disciples of the Five Elements Sect qualify to cultivate them."

"However, those who actually succeed in cultivating are extremely rare, and those who do succeed are directly considered candidates for the future successor of the Five Elements Sect for focused training."

"So, if we calculate carefully, you could consider yourself half a disciple of the Five Elements Sect!"

The old Taoist said slowly.

"Um, only half a disciple? What do you mean?"

Chen Feng asked somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist smiled faintly, saying, "That's because the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique and Five Elements Eight Diagram Palm you're cultivating...are not the complete versions, only half of the original! Haven't you noticed, when you break through to the Fifth Layer of the Five Elements Reincarnation Technique, it's not the end, and you can continue to improve and break through afterward?"
