The bandits, already shaken by the sudden turn of events, were now terrified. None of them had heard or seen anything like the voice that had just spoken.The bandit leader was the first to regain his senses. He knew that they were no match for this unknown entity, and he had no intention of risking his life for a few treasures. Throwing his weapon to the ground, he knelt and begged for mercy."Please spare our lives," he pleaded, his voice trembling with fear.The lady, Mu Fuyi, emerged from her carriage, her gaze fixated on the bandits. "I am sensing a strong spiritual energy emanating from you. You are no ordinary bandits. Who sent you here?"The bandit leader quaked with fear as he replied, "It was the Lin Clan. They ordered us to intercept anyone passing through this region.""The Lin Clan? I see," Mu Fuyi nodded thoughtfully. "It seems they are getting bolder."Mu Fuyi then turned to Adam's carriage, and asked in a very respectful tone, "Senior, what should I do about these band
Days passed peacefully, and Adam managed to recover 5% of his health. It was far too long to him. He was impatient to get the spirit stone and initiate his plans.Finally, Mu Fuyi sent a telepathic message, informing Adam that they would soon arrive in the city of Hebei, where the auction was going to be held.Adam sat up straight in his carriage, then spread his divine sense to evaluate his surroundings. This was a common practice among high-level cultivators to sense the spiritual energy and people present in the area.As he surveyed the scenery around him, Adam's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the city of Hebei. He had never seen a city like that before.It was a vast and beautiful land. Strange trees that reached the sky covered the land. These trees had actually grown so large and tall that they reached the sky.Even the thinnest among them had a thickness of twenty meters, even the shortest was several hundred meters tall. As for the thicker ones, they were several hun
The woman had every intention of sending Adam away, but something about his striking appearance and air of elegance caught her attention. She hesitated, then with a small sigh, she decided to give him an opportunity."Nevertheless," she said with a hint of curiosity in her voice, "considering you're new here, I'm willing to bend the rules a bit. Let's see what you've brought. If it's extraordinary enough, perhaps it could grace our auction. But be forewarned, we only showcase the most exquisite items—those of celestial quality or higher."Adam gave a confident nod, fully aware of the high standards of the Sacred Immortal Realm. Here, treasures were categorized into seven distinct levels: starting from the common mortal rank, ascending through earth, king, heaven, celestial, mystic, and culminating at the divine rank.With a casual flick of his wrist, Adam summoned a vest from the void. It materialized with a flourish, exuding a presence both majestic and formidable. The woman's eyes w
The VIP room at Wuling auction house is a single large square room with a few pieces of furniture along with a luxurious chair that sits a few steps behind a large glass wall that shows off the entire view of the auction room, where the auction will take place.As Adam stepped into the room, Chi'er greeted him with a warm smile and said, "Welcome, young master. Here in the VIP room, you have the best seat in the house. If you see something you like and want to make a bid, just say it out loud. Your voice will be broadcast to the auction room for everyone to hear. And don't worry, your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Your voice will be disguised, and the glass wall can only be seen from your side.""Very nice," Adam smiled.Chi'er added, "And young master, if you need anything at all during the auction, I'll be right here by the door, ready to assist you." She gestured towards the entrance, her tone warm and attentive.Adam flashed a charming, slightly mischievous smile. "Any
Everyone in the room was in awe. The fact that Jiang Shuyin was the host for the day was a big deal. She was a highly respected member of the community because of her grandfather's position. She was also known for being a powerful cultivator in her own right, known for her strong spirit force and sword skills.Adam couldn't help but admire her charm and confidence. To him, she was like a goddess, her beauty radiating with a surreal glow. He knew that every eye in the room was on her, and he was no exception.As Jiang Shuyin started the auction, the entire room fell silent, as everyone waited with bated breath for the first item to be presented.She then raised her hand and snapped her fingers twice. At the sound, a beautiful woman stepped onto the stage, carrying a tray with an egg glowing with a brilliant light.The entire room gasped in wonder, caught off-guard by the sudden appearance of this mysterious egg. Jiang Shuyin reached forward and lifted the egg off the tray, cradling it
The guests in the grand hall were taken aback, their heads swiveling towards private room number four with a collective gasp. The sudden commotion was palpable, and whispers began to circulate among the crowd."Private room number four? If I'm not mistaken, those are the members of the Lightning Sword Sect!" a guest exclaimed, and the guests around him nodded in agreement.Meanwhile, in private room number 2, Adam's eyes widened slightly as he listened to the murmurs from the hall. His gaze shifted towards Chi'er, who was stood beside him, her expression unreadable.Adam's curiosity got the better of him, and he leaned forward. "The Lightning Sword Sect? Are they powerful?"Chi'er's expression remained calm, but a hint of a smile played on her lips. "They are one of the five major superpowers in the Sacred Immortal Realm," she began, her voice measured. "The Yan Clan, the owner of the Lightning Sword Sect, is rumored to have produced an invincible powerhouse who surpassed the realm of
The guests were torn between shock and awe. On the one hand, 11 billion was already an astronomical money, and to offer an additional billion was insane. On the other hand, the Lightning Sword Sect was known for their wealth and power, and Yan Taishan was clearly not afraid to display his wealth. After all, he was the most genius young man of the sect, who was currently also first on the list of candidates to become the successor of the sect head.However, Yan Taishan himself remained calm and collected, his eyes fixed on private room number ten. He had to win the auction and get his hands on the Ice Dragon beast cores. He knew that the Lightning Sword Sect needed the cores to refine a powerful weapon, and the cores would be a valuable asset in the upcoming battle against their enemies.The beautiful woman in private room number ten, Shu Meiyin, looked surprised for a moment. She had not expected Yan Taishan to outbid her so soon, and she had not thought that the competition would bec
The atmosphere in the grand hall was electric with curiosity, as whispers spread like wildfire among the guests. "Did you hear that?" someone asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "I bet the person in private room number two is poor and doesn't have any spirit stones."His neighbor leaned in, a hint of intrigue in his voice. "Well, maybe they don't have spirit stones, but the person in that room has a lot of unique treasures. I've never seen anyone rely solely on exchanges at an auction before."The room fell silent as the guests pondered the mystery. Some nodded in agreement, their eyes fixed on the door of private room number 2, while others leaned back in their chairs, their faces a picture of skepticism. The bigshots who occupied the private rooms, however, seemed to think differently. They whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming with a mixture of excitement and envy. "The occupant of room number 2 must be very special," one of them said. "He's not afraid to show of
