CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: MEMORIES BEFORE REINCARNATION

On the auction stage.

Seeing five people competing to bid, the old face of Tianjizi couldn’t help but show an awkward expression.

Tianjizi doesn’t even know what it is, who can bid on it?

Even if it comes from Clouds Beyond Heaven, the price is too high. No matter how many crystal stones, one cannot waste them like this; after all, nobody here is a fool.

Most of the people present are from powerful sects, strong in capabilities.

But they couldn’t see what was special about the black stone, nor could they sense any aura or energy fluctuations.

This is just an ordinary black stone!

Inside the booth.

Seeing a gleam in Gu Chenfeng’s eyes, Ling Qiushui asked in confusion, "What? Do you like stones?"

"Uh..." Gu Chenfeng was taken aback, then chuckled awkwardly, "Doesn’t Master Uncle think it’s beautiful?"

"Beautiful?" Ling Qiushui was stunned, looking at Gu Chenfeng as if he were an idiot.

"Hehe..." Gu Chenfeng scratched his head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Elder Tianjizi, if no one bids, then let’s move to the next treasure." An old yet powerful voice sounded.

Tianjizi sighed softly and was about to switch to the next treasure.

But at that moment.

Gu Chenfeng suddenly said, "I’ll bid one hundred gold coins."

That’s right!

Gu Chenfeng shouted gold coins, not crystal stones.

"One hundred gold coins?" Ling Qiushui spat out a mouthful of tea, widened her beautiful eyes, and looked at Gu Chenfeng, unable to believe what she heard.

The gazes of everyone in the room also shifted towards Ling Qiushui’s booth, and their expressions were all peculiar.

Even Tianjizi was stunned on the spot.

"Did I hear wrong? Someone actually bid one hundred gold coins!"

"This is the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association headquarters. Gold coins can’t be used for bidding!"

"This person is with Fairy Qiushui, does he not know?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, but no one dared to speak too loudly, as they feared offending Ling Qiushui.

Ling Qiushui asked in a daze, "The Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association doesn’t accept gold coins for bidding. Didn’t you know?"

"Can’t use gold coins?" Gu Chenfeng was taken aback, then smiled awkwardly, "Master Uncle, it’s my first time here. You didn’t tell me, so I didn’t know."

Saying this, Gu Chenfeng quickly walked out.

Seeing Gu Chenfeng was just a teenager, the strange expressions of the crowd gradually disappeared.

After all, no one would argue with a youngster.

Moreover, this young man came from the Ancient Divine Sect.

Though the Ancient Divine Sect is not the strongest in the Human Realm, it holds significant prestige.

Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists and said, "Elder Tianjizi, I’m terribly sorry, I didn’t know we can’t bid with gold coins at the headquarters."

"Elder Tianjizi, he is a new disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect." Ling Qiushui’s voice followed.

"So, a new disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect." Tianjizi nodded slightly.

Gu Chenfeng continued, "I bid only because I found this black stone beautiful and I am willing to offer crystal stones."

"No need." Tianjizi smiled lightly, "Although this stone comes from Clouds Beyond Heaven, even I cannot see what it is. Since no one is bidding, I’ll give it to you."

As his voice fell, with a wave of Tianjizi’s hand, the black stone flew towards Gu Chenfeng.

"Give it to me?" Gu Chenfeng was somewhat in disbelief.

Among everyone present, only Gu Chenfeng could feel the calling from within the black stone.

"Of course." Tianjizi smiled gently, "Passing the assessment of the Ancient Divine Sect proves you are an extraordinary talent."

Gu Chenfeng quickly cupped his fists in thanks, "Many thanks to Elder Tianjizi."

Tianjizi smiled slightly, "No need to be polite. I’ve been on good terms with the Ancient Sect Leader for a long time."

After the words fell.

Tianjizi took out the next treasure.

Gu Chenfeng, on the other hand, holding the black stone with both hands, entered the booth, unable to hide his excitement.

"It’s just a broken stone, do you need to be this happy?" Ling Qiushui gave Gu Chenfeng a sidelong glance, her expression quite strange.

Ling Qiushui was puzzled beyond belief.

Could it be that top-level geniuses are all a bit eccentric?

Gu Chenfeng paid no attention, completely immersed in exhilaration.

Because as Gu Chenfeng held the black stone, the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor had already begun to transfer into Gu Chenfeng’s mind.

"His brain must be broken." Ling Qiushui shook her head.

Two minutes later.

Gu Chenfeng had perfectly integrated the second set of memories from the Eternal Celestial Emperor.

"These are all the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor before reincarnation. Such powerful Divine Techniques, and Sword Techniques, unimaginably terrifying."

"The Eternal Celestial Emperor was also a person from the Human Realm, ascended to the Immortal Realm, then to the Divine Realm, the strongest Celestial Emperor in the Divine Realm, such terrifying power, truly a genius among geniuses!"

"An Alchemist! The Eternal Celestial Emperor was an Alchemist! The Alchemy Master Ancestor of the Human Realm! Pill Venerable of the Immortal Realm! The strongest Alchemist Pill God of the Divine Realm!"

The achievements of the Eternal Celestial Emperor left Gu Chenfeng utterly shocked.

The Eternal Celestial Emperor was truly a one-in-a-million existence.

After perfectly merging the memories, Gu Chenfeng felt as if he had opened the door to a new world, an instant understanding of all things, his heart overwhelmed with joy.

Of course.

Calling it the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor, it is more aptly described as heritage.

Everything about the Eternal Celestial Emperor before reincarnation now belongs to Gu Chenfeng.

All the powerful figures known to the Eternal Celestial Emperor, the cultivation techniques and essence of Divine Techniques, Alchemy Techniques, and more, everything was in Gu Chenfeng’s mind.

"Gu Chenfeng! Gu Chenfeng!" Seeing Gu Chenfeng standing still, giggling, Ling Qiushui anxiously called out several times.

"Master Uncle Qiushui, were you calling me?" Gu Chenfeng suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Quickly put this broken stone away, don’t embarrass me." Ling Qiushui scolded in a low voice, glaring at Gu Chenfeng fiercely.

Gu Chenfeng spoke softly, "Master Uncle Qiushui, you may not realize, this is truly a treasure."

"Treasure? Even Tianjizi couldn’t determine, what can you see? If this broken stone is a treasure, then the stones all over the street must be treasures." Ling Qiushui cast a sidelong glance at Gu Chenfeng, she utterly did not believe him.

"Master Uncle Qiushui, I’m not lying to you, it’s Tianjizi who couldn’t figure it out." Gu Chenfeng exuded confidence.

Seeing Gu Chenfeng not joking, Ling Qiushui thought secretly, "This kid has terrifying Ice Attribute and a Perfect Spirit Root, maybe he really can see something."

With this thought, Ling Qiushui asked, "Then tell me, what kind of treasure is it?"

"Stone." Gu Chenfeng answered.

Ling Qiushui instantly rolled her eyes in anger, her pretty face twitching uncontrollably, wishing she could kick Gu Chenfeng out of the booth.

"Master Uncle Qiushui, please don’t be angry yet." Gu Chenfeng quickly explained, "It is indeed a stone, but not an ordinary stone, there’s more than meets the eye inside."

"Hmm, more than meets the eye." Ling Qiushui half-heartedly dismissed, not even looking.

"You don’t believe me? Look." Gu Chenfeng placed the stone in front of Ling Qiushui, then used his index finger to poke through the black stone, revealing a hole.

Witnessing Gu Chenfeng’s manipulation, Ling Qiushui’s temper flared instantly, nearly wanting to kill Gu Chenfeng.

But just as she was about to erupt, she suddenly realized something, widening her beautiful eyes to stare at the hole in the stone.
