Chapter 950 - Chapter 950 Volume 6, Spirit Treasures, Chapter 947 The Grand Auction

    ?Chapter 950: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures, Chapter 947: The Grand Auction Chapter 950: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures, Chapter 947: The Grand Auction “Second Uncle, rest assured, this auction has been arranged flawlessly.


    All the cultivators who are bidding have already been bought by us, inconspicuous loose cultivators.


    From the surface, it looks like these cultivators have nothing to do with our Ye Clan.


    Moreover, as soon as the first-class auction ends, these people will be silenced immediately, ensuring not a hint of information leaks out.


    However, how are things going with His Majesty’s side?


    How come the Taiyi Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly sent Xuanqing and Qi Miao, two old eccentrics to the palace?


    They haven’t caught wind of anything, have they?” the beautiful woman asked hesitatingly.


    The man with the crow-feathered crown also showed a worried look upon hearing this.


    “Rest assured, the eldest brother has already probed their intentions.


    They are here for the Flatten Mountain Seal from the Three Sovereigns Temple.


    Recently, the temple has completed the final integration of the various components, and the seal has been refined.


    These two factions indeed have many informants.


    From the little clues we deliberately exposed, they have vaguely known what treasure we have created.


    Thus, this time, it is a pressure on our Ye Clan, demanding that we sell this treasure to the two of them.

    That’s good in a way, with this bait out in the open, they won’t pay attention to my real plan.


    However, to be extra cautious, all the elders who know the plan must go out in pairs from now on.


    One cannot be too careful; falling into a trap set by these two old eccentrics and being forcibly probed by their divine sense would be terrible, especially since the Qi Miao Human from the Heavenly Demon Sect specializes in various soul-bewitching secret techniques.


    Even Nascent Soul cultivators could unintentionally be caught out and reveal everything,” the square-faced middle-aged man cautioned with a twitch of his facial muscles.


    “I see, that’s reassuring.


    But the Flatten Mountain Seal is also something we struggled to refine.


    Are we just going to give it to these two factions so cheaply?” the crow-feathered man said with regret.


    “Give it to them cheaply?


    How could that be possible!


    If only one faction had come to us, perhaps we couldn’t withstand the pressure, and would have to begrudgingly accept it.


    But now that both have come together, naturally, there’s room to fish in troubled waters.


    The eldest brother already has a plan.


    Even if we cannot keep the Flatten Mountain Seal, we will not let it fall so easily into the hands of those two traitorous factions,” the square-faced man said with a hint of a scornful sneer.


    The crow-feathered elder and the beautiful woman exchanged glances, full of confusion, but also tacitly did not continue to ask.


    Then, after chatting for a while longer, the three parted ways and went about their own business.


    …


    Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the grand auction arrived.


    During this period, although the Yin Sifting Sect searched everywhere for Han Li’s whereabouts, they only looked in other city markets, inns, and some cultivator gathering places near Jinjing.


    Han Li was focused on his cultivation with the Snow Crystal Ball in the Daoist temple, having not stepped outside even once, naturally yielding no results for them.


    Early that morning, Han Li changed his appearance, transforming into a dark-faced large man with his bamboo tube disguised as a long sword, and then floated away from the Daoist temple, heading straight for the Jinxi Market.


    Along the way, he subdued his Qi to lower his cultivation to the Core Formation realm, so as not to attract too much attention.


    Just as he had expected, the closer he got to the Jinxi Market, the more he sensed the presence of high-level cultivators.


    Mostly Core Formation experts dominated, but there were also quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators.


    As for low-level cultivators, they were even rarer.


    It seemed that any somewhat wealthy cultivator did not want to miss this grand auction.


    When Han Li passed through the restrictive formations and stepped into the city market, he immediately noticed that the entire street was full of cultivators in various outfits, with many strangely dressed individuals.


    However, with just one sweep of his gaze, he saw several sullen-faced black-robed cultivators near the entrance, continuously scanning those entering the market.


    One of the men was none other than that Ge Tianhao.


    However, the Endless Sky Saintess was nowhere to be seen for some reason.


    Han Li frowned slightly, but on the surface, he pretended to be oblivious and walked towards the direction of the grand hall, not giving the Yin Sifting Sect cultivators a second glance.


    But just as he took two steps forward, a subtle divine sense immediately swept over him, then left without finding anything, moving on to another Core Formation expert who had just appeared.


    This act of the Yin Sifting Sect using divine sense to scan cultivators entering the market was not something every cultivator entering the market experienced.


    Only those with unfamiliar faces, who clearly looked like loose cultivators or had dubious identities, would encounter this.


    High-level cultivators belonging to different sects were simply ignored.


    While this discreet act of divine sense scanning was tolerable for those in the Core Formation Stage, who couldn’t detect it and therefore had no reaction, several Nascent Soul experts became furious when they entered the market and immediately encountered this.


    They glared coldly at these Yin Sifting Sect cultivators.


    Fortunately, those from the Yin Sifting Sect had no intention of provoking any trouble; after sweeping their divine sense, they made no further moves.


    This left the high-level loose cultivators dissatisfied but unwilling to actually cause trouble with a Devilish faction like the Yin Sifting Sect.


    They could only leave in displeasure, like Han Li.


    “Elder Ge, I’ve heard that the person is proficient in the art of easy disguise.


    Our standing guard here is probably utterly useless,” a newly arrived elder with triangular eyes and a sinister look complained, becoming somewhat disgruntled as they continued to come up empty-handed.


    “I asked several senior brothers to do this specifically to rattle our target, without any intention of using this method to find the person immediately.


    This person’s divine skills are not insignificant, and we don’t have a good way to see through their true identity.


    By searching for them with such aggressiveness, they might become flustered and slip up.


    Even if this person can keep their composure without revealing any flaws, you have no need to worry.


    The Soaring Tribes have some connections with the Heavenly Demon Sect, and Daoist Lin has already gone to borrow the Exquisite Sound Treasure Mirror from Qi Miao of the Heavenly Demon Sect.


    He is now focusing on refining it at his residence, and in two or three days, he will be able to control it with ease.


    If we can find this person now, that’s great; if not, we might make them drop their guard.


    Once we get to the last day or two of the auction, under the mirror’s power to reveal true forms, the person will have nowhere to hide.


    We can capture them as swiftly as thunder that strikes before one hears it,” Ge Tianhao said to the sinister elder with a glance, speaking indifferently.


    “That makes sense.


    I was wondering why Elder Ge, with your unparalleled strategizing ability within the sect, would perform such an idle act.


    If that’s the case, there’s no need for the Sect Master and the others to come in haste.


    Just the few of us can capture this person and make a significant contribution to the sect,” the triangular-eyed elder’s eyes gleamed, speaking excitedly.


    “Let’s hope so,” Ge Tianhao chuckled dryly and glanced in the direction of the Treasure Light Hall.


    The person they had to deal with this time seemed to be a tough cookie.


    Even the fourth elder, who had been at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul Stage within the sect, might have lost his life to this person a€“ how could they be easy to capture?


    It wouldn’t be surprising if any accidents occurred.


    It would be best to be extra cautious.


    Such were Ge Tianhao’s silent thoughts, and his expression unconsciously turned grim.


    …


    At this moment, Han Li stood in front of the enormous stone hall he had visited the other day.


    Now, this Treasure Light Hall was completely enveloped in a layer of five-colored light, appearing mysteriously extraordinary.


    To Han Li’s astonishment, above the Treasure Light Hall, there was now an additional large hall made of white stone.


    Although it was smaller, covering only one-third the area of the stone hall below, it was still several hundred meters wide, and its presence in mid-air was undeniably colossal.


    In front of Han Li, a Qi Refinement Stage attendant clad in yellow respectfully explained something to him.


    At this time, Han Li no longer concealed his Nascent Soul aura, and although the attendant in charge of hosting at the auction saw Han Li as somewhat indifferent, he dared not show any signs of impatience.


    In front of the hall’s entrance, there were other attendants dressed the same, also welcoming some Nascent Soul high-level cultivators.


    As for Core Formation experts, they had to walk honestly to a stone stele in front of the great hall’s door to read the information written on it.


    “Nascent Soul-level auctions have been moved up to the Nine Heavens Palace above, while Core Formation-level auctions will still be held in the Treasure Light Hall.


    Additionally, Nascent Soul-level auctions require a payment of one thousand Spirit Stones per person, and Core Formation-level auctions require one hundred Spirit Stones per person to enter.


    Have we got that right?” After a while, Han Li withdrew his gaze, glanced at the attendant before him, and said indifferently.


    “You have clear insight, Senior.


    It is indeed so.


    This time, the number of cultivators attending the auction has increased by a third compared to previous years, forcing us to borrow this Nine Heavens Palace from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for temporary use.


    Moreover, the payment of these Spirit Stones is the same regulation as in previous years.


    The main purpose is to prevent the auction from becoming too crowded, making it necessary to implement this measure to control the number of people at the auction.


    However, for esteemed seniors of your status, these Spirit Stones naturally wouldn’t be of concern.


    Otherwise, if just anyone could enter the hall freely, even if the venue were ten times bigger, it simply wouldn’t accommodate everyone,” the yellow-clad attendant said, smiling apologetically.


    “A thousand Spirit Stones?


    You do indeed know how to extract a large sum of Spirit Stones.


    But as you said, as long as I am able to obtain something that satisfies me, this amount of Spirit Stones naturally won’t be of concern.


    I’m not interested in the Core Formation-level auction; I wish to participate in the Nascent Soul-level auction.” Han Li raised his hand and tossed ten mid-grade spirit stones into the attendant’s arms.


    “Please enter, Senior.


    The Nascent Soul-level auction will start in the morning, and this is the auction token.


    With this token, Senior can continuously attend the Nascent Soul-level auction for the next few days,” the attendant said with a broader smile upon receiving the Spirit Stones.


    He then drew a numbered jade medallion from his sleeve and handed it to Han Li.


    Han Li reached out and took the jade medallion, then without another word, a flash of green light appeared, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the palace in the sky.


    By this time, other Nascent Soul cultivators had already flown towards the palace above on streaks of light.


    When Han Li flew into the gates of the Nine Heavens Palace, there was no one but a faint white light barrier at the entrance.


    His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he infused a bit of Spiritual Power into the jade medallion in his hand and waved it at the light barrier a few times.


    Immediately, a red light shot out from the medallion, parting the barrier as it passed.


    Without hesitation, Han Li’s figure blurred, and he once again transformed into a streak of green light, shooting inside.


    The light barrier closed up right after as if nothing had happened.


    Two hours later, hundreds of Nascent Soul-level cultivators had sequentially flown into the Nine Heavens Palace.


    After three loud bell tolls, the grand auction commenced.
