Chapter 182 Auction

The middle-aged Scar left a jade slip in his Qiankun bag. Runes were flowing on it and it was sealed with magic. Apparently, there was a secret hidden in it.

Ye Chunyang was curious and activated the God Refining Technique to explore it.

Now, he has refined this technique to the point where his soul can leave his body, and his consciousness is no less than that of masters in the mana stage. Although the sealing technique on this jade slip is slightly wonderful, it still cannot stop him.

With a soft "pop" sound, after the runes on the jade slip receded, a torrent of information flowed into Ye Chunyang's mind along with his spiritual consciousness.

But after finding out the message, he shook his head, crushed the jade slip and ran away.

What is sealed in this jade slip is just the secret of the mission carried out by the middle-aged Scar and his team.

These people came from a second-rate sect called "Wutianmen" and were ordered to wipe out a certain force nearby. The person who was just destroyed was one of their mission lists.

Fighting between sects is a common occurrence in the Chaos Demon Realm. Ye Chunyang was not interested in this, so he left the place immediately after cleaning up the place without stopping.

But in this middle-aged jade slip, he got a very useful piece of information.

There is a Xiuxianfang City near here. It seems that there is going to be an auction. It will be held by a Xiuxian family under the Taiyi League. Many nearby sects and casual cultivators will participate.

This auction is held every six months. The Taiyi League is the leading alliance of immortal cultivators in the Chaos Demon Realm. The family that holds the auction is also one of its powerful families. Its influence and appeal are throughout the Luan Demon Realm. It cannot be underestimated, so every time an auction is held, many valuable treasures appear, attracting many experts.

According to the jade slip left by the middle-aged man with a scar, today was the day when the auction was held, and Ye Chunyang decided to go and have a look.

While Ye Chunyang was destroying the corpse and opening the jade slips, a spy from a certain sect in Tianchong Mountain hurried to a stone room.

After approaching, he opened the stone door and found a young man sitting inside.

This man was dressed in blue and had clear features. From his appearance, he did not have any aura fluctuations. He looked like a mortal with no cultivation, but the spies who came to report were in awe.

"Report to the sect master that a team of men I sent was ambushed and killed, and the secret jade slip was also opened. Please make a decision, sect master."

The spy knelt down on one knee and reported in a deep voice.

The young man lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Who is so bold as to dare to kill me, a member of the Wutian Clan?"

"This person's identity is unknown, but he seems to be a foundation-building practitioner."

As the spy spoke, he waved his hand and held out a talisman, and the scene in the stone room suddenly showed a scene of middle-aged Scar and his entourage being killed by Ye Chunyang.

"It turns out he's just a kid in the middle stage of foundation building."

The young man's warm smile makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze. Such a handsome appearance can win the hearts of many young girls.

He looked at the spies, still chuckled and said: "These wastes have no use value in the first place. I sent them out just for a little test, but... the secret of our sect has been leaked. Can you wait? Know what to do?"

Although the young man had a gentle demeanor, the spies felt frightened after hearing his words.

There was cold sweat on his forehead, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "Yes, my subordinates will go and investigate immediately. Once the whereabouts of this person are discovered, he will be killed on the spot!"

The young man nodded calmly.

After the spies retreated, the smile on his face slowly faded, his eyes flashed for a while, he moved his body skills backwards, and quickly left the stone room and disappeared.

Ye Chunyang did not expect that today's unintentional killing of the middle-aged Scar and his party would actually become the trigger for a war in the future, causing drastic changes in dozens of sects in the entire Tian Chong Mountain.

Even most of the Chaos Demon Territory was in violent turmoil because of this, and even several alliances of immortal cultivators standing at the top of the pyramid in the Chaos Demon Territory were involved.

At this time, he was speeding up and heading towards the market indicated by Scar's middle-aged jade slip.

The market where the auction was held was not far away, and he had arrived half an hour after the royal weapon flew.

Perhaps because of the auction, the market was very lively with people coming and going.

There are experts from both the good and the evil paths here, including some who have mastered magic. Moreover, these people are wary of each other, and they are obviously on their own guard.

Ye Chunyang was curious about this at first, but after a little observation, he understood.

There have always been murders and treasure grabbing in the Chaos Demon Realm. Although the guards in this city have banned fighting, today is the day when the auction will be held. In the past, after participating in the auction, even if I could buy a heavy treasure at the meeting, I would still be able to buy it after leaving the city. Whether they can be taken away successfully after the market is a matter of two opinions. That's why the people in this market are so wary of each other, and even secretly observe each other to find their prey.

After understanding the chaos here, Ye Chunyang also became cautious and vigilant. After putting on a disguise and covering his face, he released the aura of the middle stage of foundation building and walked calmly towards the auction venue.

No wonder he is so cautious, because the monks in this chaotic demon realm have always been lawless and violent.

This can be seen from the mass grave at the Blood Transformation Gate. Release of cultivation can have a deterrent effect.

Sure enough, after he came out with his foundation-building aura, the few slightly unkind glances he had received shrank back with interest.

Ye Chunyang didn't care about this either. After handing over a few spiritual stones at the entrance, a handsome maid took him to a bidding platform in the middle.

After walking in and taking a look, Ye Chunyang was satisfied.

It seems that because there have been too many overt and covert fights in previous auctions, each bidding platform in the auction is independently isolated and surrounded by prohibition protection, which is extremely confidential.

However, for safety reasons, Ye Chunyang secretly set up a forbidden method after entering the auction platform, and then looked at the main auction seat.

There was a woman of the same age as him, wearing a moon-white gauze, with a delicate appearance. Judging from her cultivation, she should be in the early stage of foundation building.

At this time, the woman happened to introduce a jade pendant in her hand with a smile, and her bright eyes had a moving charm.

"This is a top-grade magic weapon, the water-repelling jade pendant. The holder can enter the sea three thousand feet without being hindered by water. The starting price is five thousand spirit stones. If you are interested, please bid and the highest bidder wins."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, there was a whisper from the audience.

Many cultivators showed their price tags, and they seemed to be very interested in this water-repelling jade pendant.

And every time there was a high bidder, the woman on the stage would look at him, her beautiful eyes secretly showing autumn waves, which made the bidder very happy, as if winning a beautiful woman's smile was worth the price.

Ye Chunyang glanced at the water-repelling jade pendant, but did not bid for it. Instead, he sat on his own auction platform and watched the situation.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the woman selling treasures. From the jade slip left by the scarred middle-aged man, he learned that the person behind the auction was a powerful second-rate family under the Taiyi League. It was impossible for them to send only this young woman in the early stage of foundation building to host the auction. There must be a master here to keep the scene.

While he was watching silently, the water-repelling jade pendant in the hands of the treasure-selling woman was bought by a buyer on a auction platform on the left seat at a sky-high price of 20,000. However, all the auction platforms in the field were isolated by forbidden methods, so no one could see the face of the bidder.

Ye Chunyang had no intention of asking about this, and continued to look at the treasure-selling girl on the stage.

After bidding for the water-repelling jade pendant, the treasure-selling girl clapped her hands gently. In her silver bell-like crisp laughter, a maid came up to the stage with a silver basin and lifted the red cloth. A fiery red ginseng appeared on it.

Ye Chunyang, who originally looked relaxed and didn't care about it at all, looked at the ginseng with a condensed look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he uttered a low voice: "Fire Spirit Ginseng..."

At the same time, the treasure-selling girl on the stage also smiled and introduced: "This is the thousand-year-old spiritual herb Fire Spirit Ginseng. I believe that Taoist friends who are proficient in alchemy know the value of this medicine. I won't introduce it here. If you are interested, this thing will also start at 5,000 spirit stones."

"Fire Spirit Ginseng? This is something that can make mortals live a hundred years. It is rare to see it on weekdays."

"Yes, this medicine will have the effect of increasing spiritual power if taken by a cultivator with fire spirit roots!"

"I didn't expect the Mu family to have such a deep foundation that even such a precious thing can be auctioned at the auction?"

"..."

Although the treasure-selling girl didn't introduce the Fire Spirit Ginseng too much, there was still a wave of uproar in the venue. Obviously, most people present were familiar with this thing, and even had some awe of the Mu family who held the auction.

Ye Chunyang looked at the Fire Spirit Ginseng in the girl's hand with his eyes narrowed slightly.

To refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, a total of three main ingredients are needed: Earth Spiritual Liquid, Marrow Cleansing Flower, and the last one is the thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Ginseng, which is the most difficult to find.

It seems that this trip is indeed not in vain. As long as he can bid for the Fire Spirit Ginseng, he can start refining the pill after collecting the remaining two main ingredients.

However, he did not rush to make a move, but put his hands behind his head and looked at the scene leisurely. Such a spiritual object must not be easily obtained.

Sure enough, someone on a certain auction platform was more anxious than him. After the girl selling treasures finished speaking, he raised the bidding card: "Eight thousand spirit stones, this Fire Spirit Ginseng I, Lingxu Zhenren, want!"

The person who made the offer not only did not hide his identity, but raised his voice and announced his name, as if he was fearless.

Ye Chunyang couldn't help but look at this person curiously, and found that this person had reached the late stage of foundation building. No wonder he was so confident.

Although he was determined to get the Fire Spirit Ginseng, Ye Chunyang knew that such an auction where the highest bidder wins would definitely go through a round of fierce competition.

If he made a move at this time, he would probably just be doing the work for others. Although Huaxue Sect had sent him a lot of spiritual stones to squander recently, the quantity was limited after all, so it would be better to wait and see.

As he guessed, the man who claimed to be Lingxu Zhenren had just finished bidding, and a chuckle came from the other side: "Old ghost Lingxu, this Fire Spirit Ginseng is at least a thousand-year-old spiritual object. It's too crazy to want to get it with only 8,000 spiritual stones?"

"I am Tianyuanzi of Wuxi Sect, and I offer 10,000 spiritual stones!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man with eagle eyes and a hooked nose. He seemed to be as confident as Lingxu Zhenren. He sneered and raised the price tag.
