Shopkeeper Lin said in a low voice, “Other than ordinary auction items, there are also many things forbidden by the empire, and even… items of the demon path!”
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, “Brother Fang, it’s said that there’s also a treasure map that involves a Nascent Soul cultivation cave abode. Are you sure you don’t want to go?!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Xuan’s heart skipped a beat. Don’t misunderstand, Mu Xuan wasn’t interested in the so-called Nascent Soul Cave Abode, but… Shopkeeper Lin in front of him had attracted Mu Xuan’s 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. “Shopkeeper Lin, you should have said that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator cave abode. I’m a little interested!”
Only then did Shopkeeper Lin smile and say, “That’s good. Brother Fang, I’ll bring you there in seven days!”
Seeing Shopkeeper Lin leave, Mu Xuan shook his head. “I guess this
Shopkeeper Lin doesn’t know that this underground auction isn’t that simple!”
The reason why Mu Xuan went was going was naturally because he felt that there was an opportunity. He didn’t 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.
“The teleportation array is ready. Hurry up and go in!” 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 earlier…
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. “As expected, there’s a problem with the organizer of the underground auction…
Mu Xuan didn’t 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, “The time is up. The others can’t wait anymore. This underground auction officially begins!”
“Next, we’ll 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!”
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 stones…
“Next 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 level…”
“The starting price is 20,000 spirit stones…”
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 couldn’t be helped. Mu Xuan didn’t 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!
“What’s this? This is the act of raising the price. It’s illegal!” 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 couldn’t 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, “Everyone, hand over your storage bags. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude!”
At this moment, everyone was stunned. They couldn’t believe that the organizer of this underground auction was so sinister. He actually specialized in robbing Foundation Establishment cultivators like them!
“Brothers, we have more than a hundred people here. They only have seven Core Formation cultivators. Let’s rush out together…” 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, “Is there anyone else who objects?!” At this moment, everyone fell silent. No one stood out.
Shopkeeper Lin, who was beside Mu Xuan, smiled bitterly and said, “Brother Fang, I harmed you this time!”
Mu Xuan smiled and didn’t say anything. He continued to wait.
As expected, not long after, someone said, “Are you going to let us leave after we hand over the storage bag?”
The host smiled faintly and said, “Of course, we only want money and not lives!
The premise is that you have to cooperate!”
“Alright, I’ll pay!” That person gritted his teeth and said.
The host chuckled. ‘Very good. I like people who know their place…”
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!
“Brother Fang, let’s… let’s hand it over too…” 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, “There’s no hurry!”
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, “Are you not going to hand them over?!”
