Mortal: Fight monsters and upgrade, I will enjoy immortality!

After hearing the explanation of the purple-shirted woman, Ye Ming couldn't help but turn around and look at Bing Feng and Bao Hua.

"Why are you looking at me? This is a gift from someone else, I don't need it." Bing Feng said coldly, and then walked straight in. Then without stopping, she disappeared at the door of the side hall on the left with a flash of silver light.

Baohua smiled and gave Ye Ming a look that said "I know everything". She also flashed into the back of the hall.

Ye Ming's expression remained unchanged as he walked into the hall and approached a dozen young girls. As expected, he could smell a refreshing and pleasant fragrance coming from them.

"It really can emit the fragrance of hundreds of flowers. In this case, I, Ye, would be honored to refuse it. You guys get up first." After taking a closer look, he actually accepted this gift without any hesitation.

"Yes, master!" Eighteen women of different ages answered in unison.

"What's your name?" Ye Ming asked the leading woman.

"Master, I am Ziyuan, your servant, please give me your instructions."

"From now on you will do some work like serving tea and water. You will be in charge of all these people. Now go down first. You are not needed here for the time being." Ye Ming said lightly.

"Yes, master!" The purple-robed woman bowed respectfully and left through a side door of the hall with the other maidens.

"Hehe, Xiangnu? The Haolian Merchant Alliance is really generous." Ye Ming chuckled a few times, then leisurely went to look for Bingfeng and Baohua.

In the next ten days, Ye Ming didn't go out much, even though he knew there were all kinds of materials and treasures to trade outside, but there were very few that were suitable for his current level.

He didn't need to collect ordinary things himself, as precious and rare things would be impossible to find outside. Besides, he had killed so many Mahayana monks, and he had countless treasures on him. He didn't need to worry about most of the things, so he simply practiced in the Feixian Palace.

Bing Feng, on the other hand, was very interested in this and went out for a stroll with great enthusiasm for several days.

During this time, Ming Zun really came to Ye Ming to get close to him. However, this person didn't say anything special, just some normal cultivation exchanges. Moreover, he always spoke witty words, making people feel like spring breeze.

More than half a month later, the auction officially began.

Led by a woman in the fusion stage from the Haolian Business Alliance, Ye Ming, Bing Feng Bao Hua and the other two went directly to the auction site and entered a box suspended in the air.

The auction was held in a building that looked like a tower from the outside, but the giant tower was actually a treasure of the cave, and the space inside was several times the size of the tower.

The area is dozens of acres, but the top is covered by a layer of colorful clouds, so it is difficult to tell how high it is.

There is a huge square in the center. At regular intervals, there is an extremely exquisite wooden chair, on which sit monks of various races dressed in different styles, numbering tens of thousands in total.

What is moving is that all these people are at the Nascent Soul stage or above, and there are at least a thousand of them at the Fusion stage.

The fact that the Haolian Business Alliance could attract so many high-level cultivators at one time was enough to show the grand scale of this auction!
The so-called private rooms are the flying stone houses suspended in the colorful clouds. These stone houses have special restrictions, and outsiders cannot see through the situation inside regardless of their divine thoughts or spiritual eyes.

However, there are special "windows" inside that allow a panoramic view of the situation in the square outside, forming a one-way transparent layout.

According to the arrangement of the Haolian Merchant Alliance, only Mahayana monks are eligible to participate in the auction in these stone houses. Of course, Mahayana monks can bring some followers.

So far, the restrictions on forty or fifty stone houses have been opened, which means that there are at least forty or fifty Mahayana masters present!

"Haha, no wonder it can attract so many Mahayana beings to participate in the auction. It turns out that there are quite a few treasures that can delay or suppress the great heavenly tribulation appearing here. Tsk tsk tsk..." Baohua's bright eyes swept across the colorful stone houses and she clicked her tongue twice.

"Of course. Only such heaven-defying spiritual objects can attract so many Mahayana monks. You know, owning these spiritual objects means the possibility of adding many more years of life. Who wouldn't be tempted? This is just a short time after the news spread. If the Haolian Merchant Alliance had been operating earlier, I believe that the number of Mahayana monks coming here would be at least twice as many as it is now." Bing Feng nodded.

Through the Chamber of Commerce steward who had just led the way, they learned about several valuable treasures at the auction, and the treasure that could delay the great calamity was one of them.

"Baohua, are you interested in these treasures?" Ye Ming lay comfortably on a stone chair, watching the lively scene below with boredom.

"Before I met you, I might have had some interest, but now, didn't you promise to let that thunder beast help me overcome the tribulation? Why waste this spirit stone?" Baohua shook her head and said.

"Haha, then you have to pray that you can overcome the tribulation of ascension before me. Otherwise, if one day I cultivate faster than you and ascend to the realm of true immortals first. At that time, the thunder beast will definitely go with me." Ye Ming said with a smile.

"It's not that easy to ascend. I have practiced for tens of thousands of years to reach my current level. But fortunately, after recovering from this serious injury, I turned a disaster into a blessing. My cultivation, which had been stagnant, has finally made some progress. As for ascension, I'm afraid it will take a long time..." Baohua shook her head and said with a wry smile.

"Haha, everything depends on human effort. If it really doesn't work, go and collect materials from Yuanhe Wuji Mountain and refine this Houxuantian treasure. This treasure is hundreds of times stronger than anything that can withstand a great heavenly tribulation. It is definitely your greatest reliance for ascending in the future."

Ye Ming had told all his women about the matter of Yuanhe Wuji Mountain and asked them to consciously collect relevant materials. There has been some progress so far.

"Yeah, that's true."

Time passed quickly as a few people chatted.

Half an hour later, there was a loud "boom" in the center of the deserted square, and the ground split to both sides, revealing a stone platform that was dozens of feet long and wide.

Then a light array with white light appeared on the stone platform. After a flash of light, an old man with red hair appeared on it.

The moment he appeared, a heavy atmosphere immediately enveloped the entire auction hall.

The high-level monks of other races who were whispering to each other in the square were suddenly startled and looked at the stone platform without saying a word.

"I am Mingzun, the person in charge of our business alliance on this continent. Hehe, I won't say much about the rules of the auction. In short, all treasures go to the highest bidder! No one is allowed to threaten any guest present under any pretext, including the Taoist friends in the stone house, who are also subject to this condition.

If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for expelling them. Here, I have to say a few more words to advise you not to think that you are so strong that you can beat me and break the rules. Hehe, among all the distinguished guests, I have also invited a strong man who is much stronger than me to sit here. If anything unexpected happens, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!

All right, I hereby announce that the auction will begin!"

After Ming Zun said a few words indifferently, he immediately announced the start of the auction. Then, a flash of light appeared under his feet, and his whole body turned into a silver rainbow and soared into the sky. After a few flashes, he disappeared into the colorful clouds.

"A powerful man who is much stronger than Fellow Daoist Ming!" The tens of thousands of people present were all startled, and those who knew something about Fellow Daoist Ming's strength were even more shocked.

The chief deacon of the Haolian Merchant Alliance in Fengyun Continent has unfathomable magical powers, and even he is said to be far inferior to him. He is extremely rare in the spiritual world.

But before everyone could think too much, the place where Ming Zun disappeared, the light array rolled up, and a plump and beautiful woman appeared there with a smile on her face. The woman's beautiful eyes were watery, as if filled with endless charm. After just a quick glance around, the foreigners who were a little closer actually had a strange feeling of blood boiling.

What's even more bizarre is that there are three fluffy pink tails behind the woman's buttocks, gently sweeping left and right, giving people a sense of weird beauty...

"Three-tailed fox! Such a monster actually exists in our spiritual world!"

"Helian Merchant Alliance found it there and let it host this auction!"

……

The square, which had originally been quiet, became agitated again. Many foreign men stared at the beautiful woman with wolf-like and tiger-like eyes.

The beautiful woman witnessed all this, but her face showed no sign of strangeness. Instead, she smiled charmingly and said in Finnish:

"My name is Hu Yushuang. I am chosen by Senior Ming to host this auction. Fellow Taoists, please rest assured. Although I am just a woman, I have hosted many similar auctions before and will definitely satisfy you."

……

After the woman made some opening remarks, she took out several extremely precious treasures and started the auction.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, the first item was a bottle of golden thunder lion's bone marrow, which could be used to refine elixirs that could resist thunder tribulations.

However, for Mahayana practitioners, the effect is minimal.

But for those below the Mahayana level, it is of infinite use. Therefore, when Hu Yushuang announced the start of the auction, it immediately caused a scramble among the people in the square.

The price soared all the way from 10 million to 80 million in no time.

The process also caused a scramble among the people in the three flying stone houses, and it was finally acquired by a woman in a stone house for more than 100 million yuan.

With this bottle of extremely rare golden thunder lion bone marrow, the entire auction was indeed very hot.

More than a hundred treasures were auctioned off in one go, and each one was sold at a price much higher than the market price.

Among these things, not many could attract the attention of the Mahayana beings in the flying house. Among these more than a hundred treasures, they were only used a few times.

Ye Ming naturally wouldn't be interested in these things and never took any action on them.

The same goes for the Ice Phoenix and Treasure Flower. Most of these items put up for auction in the front were prepared for the cultivators below the Fusion Stage in the square. There were very few they could use, and they would only buy them if the attributes happened to match and it was exactly what they needed.

Helian Shangmeng certainly knew that these things could not impress the Mahayana ancestor in the flying house at all, so when the auction was in progress at an appropriate time, he took out five or six treasures that were rarer than the golden bone marrow.

All of these treasures are related to resisting the power of heavenly tribulation or delaying the arrival of heavenly tribulation.

This time, the beings in the flying house could no longer sit still and started to fight for the things without any hesitation.

Any one of them could easily be auctioned off for hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

Even one of the special materials used to refine a treasure to resist heavenly calamity was sold for an astronomical figure of 10 billion spirit stones.

Those aliens who were in the Fusion and Refining Void stage in the square finally understood what it meant to be truly wealthy and powerful, and they no longer regarded the top-grade spirit stones as spirit stones.

Because all auction items today require the use of top-grade spirit stones for settlement, one billion spirit stones is one thousand top-grade spirit stones. You know, after Ye Ming came to the spirit world, he experienced decades of plundering in the wilderness and killed many foreign cultivators at the level of transformation and refining, and only then did he accumulate hundreds of top-grade spirit stones.

However, Ye Ming was also not interested in these special materials being auctioned and never participated in the bidding from beginning to end.

Bing Feng did help a few times. According to her, she didn't need them herself and could keep them for people in need.

Moreover, this woman was wealthy and she bought two pieces of materials on her own without Ye Ming's support.

Once these things came out, the interest of most of the Mahayana ancestors was finally aroused.

In the subsequent auction process, these old monsters began to make frequent bids and bought away a lot of good things.

As time passed, the auction lasted for two days and finally reached its final stage.

Although it took a while, all the people present were powerful and far from feeling tired, they were all full of energy and seemed to be getting more energetic.

At this time, Hu Yushuang revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Okay, thank you all for your patience and active participation in the auction. Now we will start auctioning the three most important treasures of this conference. I believe that everyone will be very satisfied."

After saying this, the woman clapped her hands lightly.

Suddenly, there was a roar from the sky, and the colorful clouds suddenly split to the left and right, revealing a huge golden palace.

Then, bursts of Buddhist chants were heard in the palace, and three stunning beauties in five-colored palace costumes flew out. Each of them held a silver tray in her hand, which was covered by a layer of golden light.

As soon as the three women in palace dress flew out, the figures in the golden palace flashed again, and four old men in different costumes flew out. Each of them had an extremely powerful aura, and they were all in the Mahayana stage.

After the seven people landed on the stone platform, Hu Yushuang first bowed respectfully to the four old men, then looked around and said:
"Each of the following three treasures is extraordinary, so I have asked the four elders of our alliance to support me. I hope you fellow Taoists will not be offended."

The four old men did not refute this, but the cold looks they gave the cultivators said it all.

The many foreigners in the square were greatly shocked when they saw that the Helian Merchant Alliance actually dispatched four Mahayana ancestors in one go.

It seems that the finale item below is really extremely rare, otherwise it would not be displayed with such a grand display.

The four elders of the Chamber of Commerce flashed and appeared at the four corners of the stone platform, sitting cross-legged.

(ps: In view of the inconsistent price system in the original novel, the prices of the treasures in the later part are adjusted appropriately. According to the period of Shenlianxu in this culture, some treasures are worth tens of millions or hundreds of millions. The prices of the items in this auction will be higher overall.)
