How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

Next up is the fifth item...

The auctioneer slowly unveiled the red cloth, revealing an ancient jade slip to the crowd.

Please look, everyone. "This is the fifth item in this auction—the Sage's Cultivation Technique!" The jade slip containing this technique is a one-time use item. Simply stick the jade slip to your forehead to use it. The starting bid is five million low-grade spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, the representatives of the factions on the first floor were all stunned. A Saint's cultivation technique—that was a legendary, supreme method that allowed one to touch the realm of a Saint, its value immeasurable.

The bidders below the stage instantly erupted in excitement, their eager eyes fixed on the cultivation technique on the stage. "My Heavenly Evolution Sect offers six million low-grade spirit stones!" someone shouted as the first bidder made a loud offer.

"Six and a half million!" another voice rang out, not to be outdone. Prices soared, and competition was fierce.

In contrast, those sitting in the private rooms on the second and third floors seemed uninterested, simply watching the various factions bidding against each other on the first floor.

Inside the private room, Hua Ruoxi and the others were focused on the source stone, especially Lu Hou, who was circling around it carefully.

"Little Hou, once we return to the sect, we can ask Master to retrieve the egg." After saying that, Xiao Ningyun directly put the source stone into her storage space.

"How come Ning Qinchuan can't even tell the difference between an egg and a stone? Sigh! Children are still too ignorant." Yue Lianshuang sighed inwardly.

Just as the bidding for the Saintly Cultivation Technique on the first floor reached its climax, a cold voice suddenly came from VIP room number two: "Eight million low-grade spirit stones."

Instantly, the noise on the first floor ceased, and everyone looked up at the second floor. The speaker was Lin He, a genius disciple of the Qingyu Sect in the Southern Region. This young man had always been proud and ambitious, determined to reach the pinnacle of cultivation. Seeing a saintly cultivation technique appear, he naturally did not want to miss it.

Although the representatives of the power on the first floor were unwilling, they also understood that their financial resources were no match for those upstairs.

The representative from Dao Yi Holy Land gritted his teeth and shouted, "Eight and a half million!" He was betting that Qingyu Sect wouldn't invest too many resources in a Saint-level cultivation technique.

However, Lin He sneered, "Nine million low-grade spirit stones!"

At this point, no one on the first floor dared to bid again. The auctioneer excitedly shouted, "Nine million once, nine million twice..." Just as he was about to call out the third time...

"Ten million low-grade spirit stones."

Everyone was shocked and turned to look at the person who had made the bid.

It turned out that it was an elder from the Tianyan Sect making the offer.

"Damn it, if I snatch this cultivation technique, I won't have enough spirit stones to bid for that map later," Lin He of the Qingyu Sect thought to himself.

"Ten million for the first time..."

"Ten million for the second time..."

"Is there anyone else bidding? If not, this cultivation technique belongs to this distinguished guest."

"Ten million for the third time... Sold!"

The elders of the Tianyan Sect walked into the backstage area with smiles as they handed over the spirit stones. Although they had used almost all the resources of the Extinguishing Blazing Fire Sect this time, it was still very worthwhile to obtain a Saint-level cultivation technique for the sect.

Inside the private room, Ning Yun, who was lying on the table, said, "This is so boring, it's not fun at all. Sister Ruoxi, when are we going to rescue them?"

"No, the sect leader said that you must be taken back to the sect within two or three hours. I also need to go back to the sect to beg the sect leader to save people. There are Great Saints in the Great Qi Dynasty, and my Hundred Flowers Valley is no match for them," Hua Ruoxi said.

"Sister Ruoxi, don't worry, I'll go back and ask Master to take me to save them," Xiao Ningyun said.

"Then I thank you, Master Ning."

"Fifth Elder, go back and tell Zhiyao that if we want to save Muxue and her daughter, we need the sect's help. I'll go back to the sect and ask the sect leader for help. You guys send people to keep an eye on that Xie guy."

At this moment, several items in the auction below have already been sold.

At this moment, a map made of animal hide was brought out on a tray.

The auctioneer cleared his throat and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is the last one for today. This item is no ordinary one; this piece of animal hide contains a map of the cave where a Great Sage perished. If we can find the cave, the cultivation techniques, martial arts skills, various elixirs, and rare and precious herbs inside will surely be invaluable."

The starting bid for this map is 500,000 top-grade spirit stones!

These words caused an uproar throughout the room. The value of a top-grade spirit stone far surpasses that of a low-grade spirit stone, and this starting price was already quite high.

Even so, many people are still eager to try it out, which shows everyone's anticipation for the map of the Fallen Great Sage's Cave.

"Six hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!" Lin He of the Qingyu Sect was the first to bid, not wanting to miss this opportunity again. "Seven hundred thousand!" An elder of the Tianyan Sect followed suit, not to be outdone. Other forces also joined the bidding, making the scene extremely heated.

In VIP room number one, Hua Ruoxi and the others were also watching the bidding below, but they had no interest in the map. After all, the sect had a large group of Great Saint Elders, and all kinds of pills and cultivation techniques were readily available; they could exchange them as long as they had enough contribution points.

At this moment, many forces on the second floor were bidding enthusiastically, which once again attracted the attention of the entire audience. The bidding continued to climb, and the price quickly reached 1.6 million top-grade spirit stones.

Just then, a voice came from private room number nine on the third floor: "Two million top-grade spirit stones!"

The entire audience was shocked, and many forces quietly withdrew from the bidding, as two million top-grade spirit stones had already exceeded the budget of many sects.

Two million one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, Qingyu Sect said.

"Two million two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones..." said the person in room number nine.

"Two million three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones. If the Great Qi Dynasty offers more than that, then this map is yours," said Qingyu Sect.

Congratulations, fellow Daoist. My Great Qi Dynasty no longer needs this map.

Xie Bi'an turned to the two old men and said, "Keep an eye on the people in room number one. If they are not important forces, kill them and take their treasure once they leave Wanfa City."

It's Your Highness...

Is anyone else bidding? Two million three hundred thousand for the first time.

Two million three hundred thousand for the second time.

Two million three hundred thousand for the third time... Sold! Congratulations to the next fellow Daoist who has obtained this animal hide map.

Ning Qin Chuan, let's go back to the sect. Didn't you say you wanted the sect leader to see the source stone you bought?

"Alright, let's go back to the sect. Once we get back, we'll have Master help you," Xiao Ningyun said.

As soon as the group stepped out of the private room, everyone on the third floor stared at them.

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Hua Ruoxi ignored them and walked straight out of Tianbao Pavilion.

Xie Bi'an was completely stunned, utterly captivated by Hua Ruoxi's beauty. He thought to himself, "Such a beauty exists in this world."

You two, once that woman leaves the city, you must find a way to capture her for me.

Hearing the young prince's words, the two of them understood perfectly well; they were just driven by lust again. Sigh!

Inside a private room...

"Father, Sword Master, and Sword Maniac, that woman was the personal maid of the Sect Master of the Myriad Laws Sect, and that little girl was the Sect Master's personal disciple. Her status is extremely noble. I heard from the disciples of the Myriad Laws Sect that this personal disciple is the little ancestor of the Myriad Laws Sect, and the Sect Master and elders dote on her very much," Liu Yiyi said.

The little girl is indeed extraordinary. No wonder she became the Great Emperor's disciple. At the age of four, she was already at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm, and her foundation was extremely solid. When I was four, I was still honing my physical body. Sigh! Comparison is truly infuriating, said the Master of Tianbao Pavilion.

Not only is the little girl extraordinary, but the demonic beast she's holding is truly terrifying. "I can sense that if I were to attack this beast, it could kill me with a single swipe of its claw," said the Master of Guiyuan Sword.

Sword Maniac, listening nearby, couldn't help but swallow hard. If even a Sword Master could be killed with a single claw strike, only a Quasi-Emperor could accomplish that.

"Alas! The true imperial clans are indeed powerful and their foundations are unfathomable," said the Master of Tianbao Pavilion.

Father, Sword Master, I have sent our two families' invitations to the Myriad Laws Sect, and they have agreed, inviting us forces to watch their sect's grand competition tomorrow.

Excellent! Tomorrow I can finally enter the real Imperial Clan and see what it's like. Hahaha...

"Father, it seems the people from the Great Qi Dynasty have their eyes on the sect leader's maid. Should we step in and help?" Liu Yiyi asked.

No need. This is the territory of the Myriad Laws Sect. Nothing they do can escape the eyes of the Myriad Laws Sect. Let them go if they want to die. Besides, with that demonic beast by their side, no one can hurt them.
