I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

"First item: Seven-leaf Ice Lotus."

As the jade box was opened, a palm-sized, crystal-clear lotus flower was revealed to everyone.

"This seven-leaf ice lotus is about 830 years old. It is an excellent material for refining various elixirs such as the Tranquility Pill and the Purification Pill, as well as various ice-attribute magic treasures and talismans."

"Starting bid: 1,000 top-grade spirit stones, with each bid increment no less than 100," the auctioneer named Honglan announced in a clear voice.

Jiang Xiyue stared intently at the light screen in front of her, which clearly displayed the exhibition below, because this seven-leaf ice lotus was the one she had taken out earlier.

"Two thousand top-grade spirit stones." Someone immediately placed a bid from the public seating area below.

"Three thousand top-grade spirit stones."

……

"Thirty thousand top-grade spirit stones."

The price rose rapidly, soon surpassing the price of a 700-year-old Crimson Sun Lingzhi that Jiang Xiyue had previously sold to the Alchemy Pavilion, and it was still rising.

"Fifty-three thousand top-grade spirit stones." The big shot on the third floor made his move, directly raising three thousand at once.

"Is there anyone offering a higher bid?" Honglan asked with a radiant smile.

After pausing for two breaths, he began to quote: "Fifty-three thousand top-grade spirit stones once."

After pausing for two breaths, they reported again.

"If no one else makes a bid, the Seven-Leaf Ice Lotus will be sold."

"Fifty-three thousand top-grade spirit stones in three transactions, deal."

Then, the second item was auctioned.

As Hong Lan was giving her detailed introduction, Jiang Xiyue's communication jade slip vibrated. She tapped it with her finger, and the voice of the old man surnamed Jin came from inside: "Senior, after deducting the 10% commission, you have 77,700 top-grade spirit stones left. Please check."

"Okay." Jiang Xiyue had only been responding for a few breaths when the small teleportation array next to her lit up and a storage bag appeared.

Jiang Xiyue took the spirit stones, briefly counted them with her divine sense, and then quickly transferred them to her storage bag.

The auction below was still in full swing. Tianyuan Auction House clearly knew how to operate, controlling the pace of the auction very precisely, and frequently triggering a bidding frenzy.

Therefore, the spiritual materials that Jiang Xiyue added later all fetched good prices at auction. After collecting spirit stones several times, she now has nearly 400,000 spirit stones in her hands, not including several kinds that are over a thousand years old.

"It seems the value of the treasure that this woman stole is much higher than I estimated," Ma Ke thought, feeling even more heartbroken.

Just then, Honglan began to enthusiastically introduce the sixteenth item for auction.

"This is the Pure Water, which can effectively increase the success rate of alchemy, weapon crafting, and talisman making. If used directly for bathing, it can heal wounds, detoxify, and purify the mind..."

After listening, Jiang Xiyue chuckled and said, "There's another use she didn't mention, which is to cleanse your body of the Soul-Chasing Secret Technique."

Upon hearing this, Ma Ke said without hesitation, "In that case, Yun Yao, please bid for it."

"One ounce of Eight-Hundred-Year-Old Impure Water, starting bid 5,000 top-grade spirit stones, minimum increment 500 per bid."

As soon as Hong Lan finished speaking, Jiang Xiyue immediately bid 10,000. Her voice was transmitted throughout the entire venue through the array, making it impossible to distinguish whether she was male or female.

In the next room, number six of the Heavenly Palace, Wang Tiancheng's face darkened. It wasn't that he wanted to bid for the Immaculate Water, but he knew that the other party probably wanted to remove the Soul-Chasing Secret Technique from his body.

Although I have already identified them, just in case, I still cannot let them succeed.

So he immediately asked for 20,000.

Jiang Xiyue didn't think too much about it and directly asked for 30,000, because Ma Ke was still quite useful to her and it was worth investing in him to win people over.

Wang Tiancheng immediately raised the price to 40,000, and Jiang Xiyue followed suit with an increase in the bid. Several other people joined in, but seeing that the two seemed determined to win, they all withdrew.

Jiang Xiyue frowned: "I've met my match."

After a moment's hesitation, Ke Wei still shouted, "One hundred thousand."

Wang Tiancheng's face was gloomy, because the current price was significantly higher than that of the Immaculate Water, and his most important goal today was to obtain the Cold Marrow Grass.

Spending too much here and missing out on the Cold Marrow Grass again would be a huge loss.

Realizing the other party was right under his nose and wouldn't be able to escape so easily, he stopped bidding.

Jiang Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief after Honglan made three offers, because she had never been so extravagant before.

However, she couldn't possibly come up with 100,000 top-grade spirit stones right now. But she wasn't flustered at all. She directly sent a telepathic message to the old man surnamed Jin, asking him to deduct the amount from the subsequent auction items.

The other party naturally had no objections and readily handed the Immaculate Water to Jiang Xiyue, who then generously passed it on to Ma Ke.

Ma Ke said gratefully, "Thank you, Yun Yao. How do I use it?"

Jiang Xiyue casually replied, "Prepare a bucket of good spiritual spring water, pour this pure water in, and then soak for about an hour."

Without saying a word, Ma Ke immediately instructed the people from Tianyuan Auction House to make preparations.

Jiang Xiyue was startled: "You don't mean you're going to bathe here?"

Ma Ke laughed and said, "The thought of being secretly watched by someone in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm makes me feel uneasy. The sooner I can eliminate this Soul-Chasing Technique, the sooner I can feel at ease."

Jiang Xiyue was speechless for a moment.

Before long, a graceful female cultivator knocked on the door, and with a wave of her hand, a large bathtub appeared in the center of the room.

Then, she poured in more than half a bucket of high-quality spiritual spring water.

Normally, such a large quantity of spiritual spring water would have been charged separately, but since the two were major clients, they were not charged a penny.

If Ma Ke requires it, he can also provide bathing services.

Ma Ke was still someone else's hostage, and since he wasn't there for enjoyment, he naturally didn't need it, so he waved his hand to let the other party leave.

After the door was closed, he poured a bottle of clean water into the bathtub and began to undress.

But before he could jump into the bathtub, he heard a chuckle.

Ma Ke looked over in confusion and saw Jiang Xiyue turning the jade cup in her hand.

The jade cup was crystal clear and reflected light, so my naked figure was displayed on the cup wall.

"It wasn't my idea to look at it," Jiang Xiyue quickly said when she realized she had been caught.

"You looked, but why did you laugh? It wasn't a small thing," Ma Ke said, quite displeased.

"What do you mean by small or not? Who said you're small?" Jiang Xiyue asked in confusion, instinctively turning around to argue, only to find that Ma Ke was still standing there, not having climbed into the bathtub, making it even clearer to her now.

Their eyes met, and she blushed uncontrollably, quickly turning her head away.

Ma Ke was slightly taken aback. This witch could be shy? She even dodged in such a small situation. Interesting.

But after turning back, Jiang Xiyue regretted it a little, not because she wanted to watch it again, but because she felt that weakening her aura would make people feel that they had found her weakness.

So, she straightened her expression, turned around gracefully, and although she found that Ma Ke had already climbed into the bathtub, she still said seriously, "You haven't answered my question yet. Who said you're small? What do you mean small?"

Ma Ke, who was about to dive into the water, was speechless. Turns out he was a complete novice. So he gestured for him to join him: "Want to come along?"

"Get out..." Jiang Xiyue glared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, then immediately turned around.
