"Yes, young master." Uncle Duan took the thing Jin Youqian handed over, glanced at it, and his mood was somewhat complicated. The thing inside was a portrait of Qiyue and Lou Xuanzhi.

However, he didn't say anything and walked towards the center of the auction hall.

"The auction for the location of the Spirit Gathering Array Diagram will now begin, with a starting price of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 30,000 spirit stones higher!"

As the auction began, Kim Yugyeom narrowed his eyes dangerously, his face full of coldness.

"July, July, don't blame me. Blame fate for playing tricks on us. If my father and I weren't in such dire straits, I wouldn't want to ruin our cooperation."

"Besides, you are not the final victor in the Heavenly Evolution Technique. Even if you were to come back from the dead, Xia Wanqing would still be the better one in the end."

As he murmured, Kim Yugyeom's turbulent heart slowly calmed down.

He was not afraid of Lou Xuanzhi. The Jin family had a thousand-year heritage. Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage, even ancestors above the Nascent Soul stage existed in the world. So what if they were future supreme beings? They still needed time to grow.

He was never truly favored by Heaven, so what did he have to fear?

Kim Yugyeom looked completely calm.

Meanwhile, Qiyue and Lou Xuanzhi entered another inconspicuous auction house.

The shopkeeper was utterly shocked when he saw the people enter: "Have you come to the wrong place? The auction for the Spirit Gathering Array Diagram isn't here!"

Qi Yue smiled slightly: "You've come to the right place. This is my master. My master is the holder of the Spirit Gathering Array Diagram. My disciple and I have come here to auction the Spirit Gathering Array Diagram."

"This!!!" The boss was so shocked by the immense wealth that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets; he still couldn't believe it.

"Honorable guests, please don't make fun of us..."

Until Qiyue took out the array diagram: "This is the array diagram. Whether it is real or fake, you can tell at a glance. If you don't believe me, my master can also set up an array for you to see."

"Is it possible?" The boss's eyes lit up, and he quickly led the two into the secret room.

Upon seeing the array diagram, the shopkeeper lowered his posture to the lowest level: "May I ask what rank of array master you are, senior?"

"A mere ninth-rank official is nothing to boast about," Lou Xuanzhi said modestly.

The boss knelt on the ground: "May I ask your honorable name?"

"I am the current sect leader of the Xunhui Sect." Lou Xuanzhi said indifferently, and Qiyue helped the boss up.

The shopkeeper looked flattered and cautiously said, "This humble old man thanks you for your blessings. I have recently heard many rumors about the Xunhui Sect. I wonder..."

He didn't say anything more, nor did he dare to.

Lou Xuanzhi spoke softly, "My surname is Lou. You might be more familiar with the former sect leader, Lou Zhi, or perhaps Venerable Hengyue."

Xie Wanfu's face turned deathly pale.

Qi Yue was even more surprised.

[I never imagined my cheap master actually had this background! Tsk tsk tsk, so mysterious, so mysterious that it wasn't even mentioned in the original work.]

She had mixed feelings.

[I had previously seen many books in the sect's library belonging to the ancient Xunhui Sect, other reclusive sects, and the Demon Clan, and I thought they were ancient secrets. I never expected them to be the history of our own sect.]

[Hilarious! I thought my cheap master was deliberately using the same pretentious name as everyone else.]

Qiyue mentally slapped herself a few times, completely unaware of her cheap master's ugly expression.

Oh no, the little guy underestimated me.

Lou Xuanzhi felt wronged, but he didn't say anything.

Xie Wanfu was incredibly clever. Although everyone said that the Xunhui Sect had been destroyed and disappeared, most rumors said that the entire sect had ascended to the Upper Realm.

Then look at that small spirit-gathering array; it's unprecedented and will likely never be seen again.

Although the person in front of him was only at the Nascent Soul stage, he felt that based on this aura, the person must have come from the upper realm and was hiding their cultivation level.

He immediately pledged his loyalty: "I am honored that the Immortal thinks so highly of me. I will follow the Immortal's lead from now on!"

After saying that, Xie Wanfu looked at the two of them with a fawning expression, thinking he was very clever.

Think about how he's been running this run-down auction house under pressure from his master all these years, watching Wanbaolou thrive while he himself is going downhill.

It was already difficult enough, but now Wanbaolou had latched onto a formation master, one that could even increase cultivation speed. The head of the family questioned him again and again, and it seemed like he was doomed and about to be expelled from the family. But unexpectedly, fate had other plans, and it was his turn to finally stand up for himself.

With Kim Yugyeom as an example, Qiyue was very cautious this time and did not say anything.

Xie Wanfu was extremely clever; he was well aware of the other party's concerns.

He immediately swore an oath by the Heavenly Dao: "I, Xie Wanfu, swear by the Heavenly Dao that from this day forward, I will follow your lead without question. If I ever disobey, may I be struck down by Heaven and Earth and suffer eternal damnation!"

Since this person abandoned Wanbaolou, it's clear that Wanbaolou offended them. A ninth-grade array master can do whatever he wants anywhere, let alone a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. If they could get on their good side...

His status in the master's family will definitely see a qualitative improvement!

It wouldn't be impossible for him to become the head of the family someday.

Qiyue likes this kind of person the most, and that's why she chose this place.

Xie Wanfu was an illegitimate son from a branch of the Xie family. Even a servant in the main household had a higher status than him; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a dog.

The Xie family is a prominent family in the capital. Unlike the Jin family of Wanbaolou, the Xie family is weaker than the Jin family and is neutral, but it has a connection with the Kunlun Holy Land, which ranks second among the three holy lands.

Although the book provides little information about it, its extraordinary nature is evident.

"If you do things to my master's satisfaction, what you want will not be difficult to obtain."

A smile appeared on Qiyue's face.

Xie Wanfu's eyes lit up, and he stepped back, quickly making the arrangements.

After Xie Wanfu left, Lou Xuanzhi finally spoke.
