Sharing the Universe from Douluo Continent

Chapter 156 Concubine Xin Ruyin (First update, please vote)
When the cultivation of those family members exceeds the tenth level of Qi Refining Stage, they can return the unused puppets and continue to rent them to other weaker family members.

However, what really made Dai's Puppet Pavilion famous was the auction held every month.

It is said that at every auction, the behind-the-scenes boss of Dai's Puppet Pavilion would take out ten high-quality puppets for auction.

In addition to nine puppets that are comparable to cultivators at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, there is also one puppet that is comparable to a cultivator at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

You should know that in the world of immortal cultivation in Yuanwu Kingdom, except for large immortal cultivation sects like Tianxing Sect, it is difficult to see the existence of Jindan stage cultivators in other immortal cultivation families.

For most immortal cultivation families, a combat puppet comparable to the initial stage of foundation building is absolutely an indispensable combat force.

Therefore, every time the Dai Puppet Pavilion holds a puppet auction, it will attract many immortal cultivation families to compete for the bids.

"Manager Han, we meet again."

"Manager Lin, please!"

"Senior Mu, please come this way..."

Under the leadership of Han Li, dozens of representatives from immortal cultivation families followed him to the underground auction house of Puppet Pavilion.

The underground auction hall is very spacious, covering more than 500 square meters, which is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

"Husband, it seems that the number of guests participating in the puppet auction this time is a little less than last month. There are only 28 people in total. Aside from the five cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, the rest are all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage."

Xin Ruyin, who was hiding in the secret room of the auction house and was in charge of controlling the pavilion protection formation, saw this and couldn't help but say to Dai Changsheng who was not far away.

The reason why Xin Ruyin called Dai Changsheng "husband" was because she was taken in as a concubine by Dai Changsheng a year ago.

According to the original plot, Xin Ruyin is a rare genius in formation. Even Han Li asked her to help repair the ancient teleportation formation that he accidentally discovered.

It’s a pity that beauty has a tragic fate. Xin Ruyin, as a woman, has awakened the Dragon Roar Body.

The Dragon Roar Body is a very strong and yang-like physique. If a man awakens the Dragon Roar Body and then practices a very yang-like technique, his training speed will be comparable to that of a cultivator with different spiritual roots.

If a woman awakens the Dragon Roar Body and practices forcefully, her lifespan meridians will gradually become dislocated and atrophied, eventually leading to her death.

When Dai Changsheng met Xin Ruyin, she had already embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, and her cultivation had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage. She also discovered the side effects of the Dragon Roar Body.

With Dai Changsheng's cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, although there was no way to directly remove the Dragon Roar Qi contained in the Dragon Roar Body, he could give Xin Ruyin an ice-attributed elixir to forcibly suppress the Dragon Roar Qi in her body.

So when Dai Changsheng proposed to Xin Ruyin that he would take her as his concubine in exchange for helping her cure her Dragon Roar Body, she went back and thought about it for more than half a month before agreeing.

After all, Dai Changsheng is not only a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, but also has a Jindan cultivator as his backer. For a casual cultivator like Xin Ruyin, this is already a very good destination.

At the same time, Dai Changsheng, wearing a green long gown, was leaning comfortably on the animal skin sofa, enjoying the personal massage from his maid Xiaomei.

Xiaomei was originally Xin Ruyin's personal maid, with a beautiful face and a slim figure, even prettier than Xin Ruyin. Since Xin Ruyin became Dai Changsheng's concubine, Xiaomei naturally became Dai Changsheng's maid.

"It's quite normal. After all, the spirit stones of those immortal cultivation families didn't just come from the wind, and puppets aren't consumables like talismans."

Dai Changsheng said as if it was nothing new: "Plus, the Puppet Pavilion's auction is held every month, so those immortal cultivation families who won the puppets last month will most likely not come again this month.

Let alone the Puppet Pavilion here, isn't the Puppet Pavilion over at the Huangfeng Valley Market also in a similar situation?"

Because the Puppet Pavilion's business was so good, Dai Changsheng also opened a branch in the Huangfeng Valley Market.

Dai Changsheng handed over the management of the Puppet Pavilion in the Tianxing Sect's market to Han Li, while the management of the Puppet Pavilion in the Huangfeng Valley's market was handed over to Zhang Tie.

Originally, Dai Changsheng asked Han Li and others to manage the Puppet Pavilion alone, and the two felt a little overwhelmed.

However, ever since Dai Changsheng taught Han Li and the others the first level of the Dayan Jue cultivation technique, the two of them who were able to control puppets to help manage the shop became very adept at it.

Han Li is now fourteen years old, and his cultivation has reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Although he has not yet completed the first level of the Dayan Jue, the strength of his spiritual consciousness has also increased a lot, and he can control ten puppets at the same time.

Zhang Tie's cultivation has reached the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. Unfortunately, his talent in practicing the Great Evolution Technique is not as good as Han Li's, and he can only control six puppets at the same time.

If Han Li and the others were asked to control the puppets to fight, they might not be able to do it well, but controlling the puppets to help manage the store would be more than enough.

Just as Dai Changsheng was chatting with Xin Ruyin, the puppet auction outside began.

Han Li, dressed in a black robe, walked to the auction table in the center of the auction hall with a smile. He bowed to the guests present and said, "Seniors and fellow Taoists, this is not your first time participating in a puppet auction. I will not waste your time with any more nonsense. Let's get straight to the point."

After Han Li finished speaking, he reached out to his storage bag and suddenly four palm-sized puppets appeared on the auction table in front of him.

Those puppets look like mantises, with a emerald green body. They not only have two sharp blade arms, but also a pair of wings on their backs.

"Everyone, these four combat puppets are called Singing Mantises. They were created by my master based on the prototype of the second-level demon beast Jade Mantis."

Facing the crowd's curious gazes, Han Li introduced them methodically, "This flying mantis puppet is extremely fast and has the ability to fly. Its combat power is comparable to that of a peak-level monster beast. Whether it's used for sneak attacks on enemies or to help the user escape, it's an excellent choice."

Upon hearing this, many Qi Refining cultivators present showed expressions of interest.

Under normal circumstances, if the families behind these cultivators are interested in bidding for Foundation Establishment puppets, they will usually send Foundation Establishment cultivators directly.

Since those families only sent Qi Refining cultivators to participate in this puppet auction, it means that their real target is those high-quality puppets at the peak level of Qi Refining.

"This auction will still follow the old rules and be conducted with a final bid."

Han Li said slowly, "The starting price for each Sail Mantis puppet is four hundred low-grade spirit stones. Each person only has one chance to bid. The four people with the highest bids will receive these Sail Mantis puppets."
