After working for both the righteous and demonic factions, I became a big shot.

"The first item up for auction is a low-grade magic weapon, the Netherfire Banner."

"According to our tests, this Netherfire Banner is very suitable for cultivators who cultivate different kinds of fire. If used properly, this low-grade magic weapon can unleash the power of a mid-grade magic weapon."

Starting bid: 180 spirit stones!

"Each bid increase must be at least ten spirit stones!"

After Shen An finished speaking, Sikong Ying, who was sitting in the audience, became nervous. This was an item he had contributed for the auction. If it were sold in the sect, it could fetch at least two hundred spirit stones.

Now, in order to support his junior apprentice, he's even losing money to gain publicity.

Standing beside him, Mo Ya chuckled softly, "Senior Brother Sikong, you've really been generous this time, managing to negotiate such a low price for such a good item. Looks like you're quite wealthy."

Sikong Ying glanced at Mo Ya without saying anything. This time, neither Mo Ya nor Mo Xiaoxiao offered anything good to support their junior brother; they only took a low-grade pill.

They didn't believe their items could make money at the auction, and besides, after patrolling for three days, they were already resentful.

If it weren't for Fairy Lan Yue being there, these two would probably have slipped away long ago.

It's fine to do it for a day or two, but after three or four days, it's normal for a late-stage Golden Core expert to harbor resentment.

However, at this moment, Sikong Ying's Netherfire Banner had already been bid up to 230 spirit stones.

"This price is acceptable," Xue Linglong said softly, her long, fiery red hair still flowing.

She also produced a rubbing of a cultivation technique, the kind that could be sold for three hundred spirit stones in the sect, which can be considered a strong support for Shen An.

"Three hundred and twenty spirit stones!"

"Three hundred and twenty spirit stones! Once! Twice! Three times! Sold!"

As Shen An's small hammer fell, the rogue cultivator who won the Netherfire Banner at auction stood up, looking extremely excited.

Clearly, he possesses a powerful and compatible elemental flame that aligns well with this Netherfire Banner.

Sikong Ying smiled happily. This time, he not only didn't lose money, but he also made an extra hundred spirit stones. Even after deducting the handling fee, it was still more profitable for him than selling to the sect.

I made a profit!

Meanwhile, Mo Ya and Mo Xiaoxiao looked rather displeased. How could there be such an idiot? This was simply a case of having money to burn.

If they had known this would happen, they would have sold something better.

..........

In fact, Sikong Ying's Netherfire Banner wasn't very profitable; it was Xue Linglong's later cultivation technique copy that made a truly outrageous profit.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! You've acquired the Blood Robe Technique rubbing for eight hundred spirit stones!"

Xue Linglong's face was full of smiles. She had made a huge profit! Something that was originally worth only three hundred spirit stones had actually sold for eight hundred! Junior Brother is really amazing!

At this moment, Mo Ya and Mo Xiaoxiao looked as uncomfortable as if they had eaten shit.

Shen An originally said that after this matter, everyone would receive at least five thousand spirit stones, and they didn't quite believe it, but now they're starting to believe it.

The auction concluded with the sale of the Nine-Child Ghost Mother Vine by the Moon-Gazing Fairy, which sold for a total of nine thousand spirit stones.

The Moon Fairy in the private room was smiling so hard she could hardly close her mouth.

She earned a whopping eight thousand spirit stones in one night! That's faster than robbing the righteous path!

Just when everyone was still enjoying the event, Shen An announced that a second auction would be held in three days.

In addition, for the individual cultivators who purchased items this time, Qinglong Market can safely deliver them to their homes, requiring only 10% of the item's price as a fee.

The service immediately received a wave of positive reviews, and the group of independent cultivators couldn't wait to pay up. They thought the service was really great.

At that moment, a streak of blue light suddenly flashed across the horizon not far away.

Immediately following this, a righteous voice came from the horizon:

"The Xuan Yin Market has illegally imprisoned righteous cultivators; their crime deserves death!"

Shen An recognized the newcomer as a late-stage Nascent Soul elder from the Jade Purity Dao Sect!

Moreover, as the voice faded, dozens more figures descended from the sky, each possessing an aura at the Nascent Soul stage!

"Was this a surprise attack by the Jade Purity Dao Sect?"

"Good heavens, why is the Jade Purity Dao Sect launching a surprise attack on the Xuan Yin Market?"

"Haven't you heard? They imprisoned righteous cultivators."

Meanwhile, Xuan Da and Xuan Er in the crowd were both numb. They disregarded revealing their identities and flew towards their own market on their swords.

They haven't even copied the God and Demon Sect's auction yet, and their home has already been attacked?

Fortunately, they had requested support from the sect beforehand, and there was a large array within the market; otherwise, the Xuan Yin Market might have been destroyed.

At this moment, the people who were about to leave stopped. They were scared, they wanted to see the excitement, and some of them had come all the way from Xuan Yin Market, where most of their wealth and lives were at stake.

At this moment, Shen An had already reached the side of the Moon-Gazing Fairy on the second floor.

The latter counted the spirit stones he had acquired while smiling and looking into the distance.

"Disciple, do you think we should send reinforcements?"

Shen An didn't directly say no, because that would disrupt the unity of the demonic path, but he knew that his sect and the Yin Yue Sect had always been at odds, and his master and the others probably didn't want to go.

"Master, our Divine Demon Sect is far less powerful than the Yin Moon Sect. Now that righteous cultivators have arrived, it would be more appropriate for you to oversee our Azure Dragon Market."

The Moon Fairy thought her disciple's words made a lot of sense.

"I think Xuan Yin Market was prepared. There's an old guy in the Nascent Soul stage inside, and four or five other Nascent Soul cultivators. I wonder when they arrived."

The Moon-Gazing Fairy frowned slightly. She felt that the situation was very chaotic. How could the attackers have come so suddenly, yet they were so well-prepared?

Upon hearing this, Shen An looked towards the distant Xuan Yin Market and wondered if this sneak attack would backfire.

Why did Xuan Yin Market send people here? Could it be that they sent people to guard against us because they saw that we had come here?

However, Shen An had confidence in his own sect. After all, the Jade Purity Sect was among the top three in the righteous path, and its overall strength was stronger than that of the Yin Moon Sect.

"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to trespass into my Xuan Yin Market?" An even more sinister voice rang out, and an incomparably tall figure appeared in the world, a full hundred meters high, with two heads and four arms, surrounded by gusts of yin wind.

A Nascent Soul stage expert has made a move!

This was the first time Shen An had ever seen a master of this caliber make a move, and just watching it made his heart pound with fear.

At this moment, Fairy Lanyue waved her sleeve, creating a barrier for the entire Qinglong Market, preventing low-level cultivators from being swept away by the aftershocks.

On the Jade Purity Dao Sect's side, there was naturally a Nascent Soul stage elder who was also there to keep watch. Unlike the terrifying elder of the Profound Yin Sect, the elder from the Jade Purity Dao Sect was only of normal size, but his pure and upright aura made many demonic cultivators uncomfortable.

The two Nascent Soul stage cultivators went directly to the heavens to fight.

Below that is the battlefield for Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators.

Although many Nascent Soul cultivators came, Xuan Yin Market was confident because of its array formation, so they were not afraid.

No matter how much the cultivators of the Jade Purity Dao Sect bombarded them, they refused to show themselves; they were waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

They even took the time to mock and attack the Yuqing Dao Sect cultivators.

"Hahaha, a few Nascent Soul cultivators think they can mess with my market? Go back to where you came from!"

These words were not only spoken to the people of the Yuqing Dao Sect, but also to the people in the Xuan Yin Market.

See how powerful my Xuan Yin Market is? It can guarantee safety even like this!

The taunting ended abruptly after only a few moments.

Because there was a Nascent Soul cultivator in the Jade Purity Dao Sect who looked like a shopkeeper, who was chanting incantations while poking a formation flag into the position of the formation eye!

"Hurry, hurry, break this order!"

It's all thanks to the skill of my Jade Purity Sect's undercover agents; they managed to uncover such a secret.
