Shopkeeper Lin said in a low voice, âOther than ordinary auction items, there are also many things forbidden by the empire, and even⊠items of the demon path!â
In the Great Jin Empire, the demonic path had always been suppressed. Moreover, because most of the demonic path resources were atrocious, they had long been prohibited from trading openly.
When Mu Xuan heard this, he immediately lost interest. Did he need these?
There was no need for that at all!
Seeing that Mu Xuan was not tempted, Shopkeeper Lin gritted his teeth and said, âBrother Fang, itâs said that thereâs also a treasure map that involves a Nascent Soul cultivation cave abode. Are you sure you donât want to go?!â
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xuanâs heart skipped a beat. Donât misunderstand, Mu Xuan wasnât interested in the so-called Nascent Soul Cave Abode, but⊠Shopkeeper Lin in front of him had attracted Mu Xuanâs attention by encouraging Mu Xuan to participate in the so-called underground auction!
Mu Xuan pressed between his eyebrows and decisively used the Heavenly Secrets Technique. In an instant, Mu Xuan felt a wave of malice enveloping him!
Under the Heavenly Secrets Technique, Mu Xuan saw a scene flash past. It was shockingly a group of black-robed people fighting in a hidden valley!
Mu Xuan looked deeply at Shopkeeper Lin and suddenly smiled. âShopkeeper Lin, you should have said that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator cave abode. Iâm a little interested!â
Only then did Shopkeeper Lin smile and say, âThatâs good. Brother Fang, Iâll bring you there in seven days!â
Seeing Shopkeeper Lin leave, Mu Xuan shook his head. âI guess this
Shopkeeper Lin doesnât know that this underground auction isnât that simple!â
The reason why Mu Xuan went was going was naturally because he felt that there was an opportunity. He didnât feel any danger under his Heavenly Secrets Technique, which meant that there was no Nascent Soul cultivator involved. Without a Nascent Soul cultivator, why would he be afraid?!
Seven days later, Mu Xuan and Shopkeeper Lin wore black robes and evil ghost masks and appeared in a hidden valley in the market. Several black-robed people who were dressed like them had already appeared here. They should be heading to participate in the underground auction.
In the valley, a few organizers of the underground auction were wearing wide black cloaks. The cloaks were even engraved with silver patterns, looking abnormally conspicuous.
âThe teleportation array is ready. Hurry up and go in!â An organizer of the underground auction said calmly.
No one raised any questions because the previous underground auctions had the same process. This year was a little different. It was probably a few days earlierâŠ
Mu Xuan hid in the crowd and looked at the organizers of the auction. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with the other party. âAs expected, thereâs a problem with the organizer of the underground auctionâŠ
Mu Xuan didnât expose him. Instead, he stepped into the teleportation array prepared by the other party with the others. With a whoosh, everyone had already appeared in another valley.
Everyone clearly felt that the teleportation distance was not far, only dozens of kilometers. They immediately felt relieved.
Looking around, there were already more than a hundred people in the valley.
After a long time, the number of people participating in the auction had already reached more than 130. Just as the discussions of everyone increased, an organizer of the auction finally stood up and said, âThe time is up. The others canât wait anymore. This underground auction officially begins!â
âNext, weâll start the first auction item. A bottle of nine Demon Spirit Pills! The starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Every increase must not be lower than 100 spirit stones!â
The Demon Spirit Pill was one of the medicinal pills commonly used by demonic path Foundation Establishment cultivators. The effect was better than the medicinal pills used by the righteous path, but the side effect was that after consuming the Demon Spirit Pill, it was easily irritable and angry. It lasted for as long as a year.
Even so, many righteous cultivators still secretly bought this medicinal pill. The reason was naturally the drug resistance. The other reason was that it was cheap!
As expected, as soon as the host finished speaking, several Foundation Establishment cultivators bid for it. In the end, the bottle of Demon Spirit Pills was sold for 22.000 sDirit stonesâŠ
âNext is the secret technique that our organizer collected calmly, the Illusory Cloud Technique! This spell collects clouds and forms an Illusory Cloud. It can be used to confuse cultivators of the same levelâŠâ
âThe starting price is 20,000 spirit stonesâŠâ
One auction item after another was pushed out and auctioned off by the cultivators present. Most of them auctioned one or two items, and only a few people were indifferent. Mu Xuan was naturally one of them.
It couldnât be helped. Mu Xuan didnât fancy most auction items. The only thing he liked was the top-grade cauldron, but with that price, he could stay in Emerald Pavilion for decades with this money!
âWhatâs this? This is the act of raising the price. Itâs illegal!â Mu Xuan was indignant.
Not long after, the auction came to an end. The final item was finally revealed. It was the so-called Nascent Soul cave abode map that Shopkeeper Lin had mentioned previously. The Core Formation cultivators present immediately went crazy and raised the price to 300,000 spirit stones.
In the end, the map was taken by a late-stage Core Formation cultivator.
After the auction ended, the main scene finally began. Mu Xuan couldnât help but sit up straight.
As expected, in the next moment, after all the Core Formation cultivators left first, the seven to eight Core Formation cultivators who were the organizers of the auction instantly emitted a pressure that enveloped the sky above everyone. The host from before chuckled strangely and said, âEveryone, hand over your storage bags. Otherwise, donât blame us for being rude!â
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They couldnât believe that the organizer of this underground auction was so sinister. He actually specialized in robbing Foundation Establishment cultivators like them!
âBrothers, we have more than a hundred people here. They only have seven Core Formation cultivators. Letâs rush out togetherâŠâ Before he could finish speaking, that person stopped breathing. The person who attacked was surprisingly a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator in the sky! The host smiled faintly and said, âIs there anyone else who objects?!â At this moment, everyone fell silent. No one stood out.
Shopkeeper Lin, who was beside Mu Xuan, smiled bitterly and said, âBrother Fang, I harmed you this time!â
Mu Xuan smiled and didnât say anything. He continued to wait.
As expected, not long after, someone said, âAre you going to let us leave after we hand over the storage bag?â
The host smiled faintly and said, âOf course, we only want money and not lives!
The premise is that you have to cooperate!â
âAlright, Iâll pay!â That person gritted his teeth and said.
The host chuckled. âVery good. I like people who know their placeâŠâ
As soon as these words were spoken, another 20 to 30 people immediately stood up and handed over their storage bags. The organizer actually really brought them away.
Then, more and more people naturally compromised with the organizer. In the end, there were only more than ten people left in the entire valley!
âBrother Fang, letâs⊠letâs hand it over tooâŠâ Shopkeeper Lin said hesitantly, his words filled with heartache. For the auction this time, he had spent a total of 110,000 spirit stones!
Mu Xuan shook his head and said, âThereâs no hurry!â
The host held more than a hundred storage bags in his hand, his eyes filled with smugness. Taking over the auction this time was simply a genius idea!
After being smug, he suddenly looked at the remaining dozen or so people on the ground and said sinisterly, âAre you not going to hand them over?!â
