"Didn't Brother Feng say he wanted to see an auction? There's one right here today!"
"hehe!"
Ye Feng chuckled awkwardly. He'd heard the news about a certain girl group member going to sea here today at least eight or ten times over.
These auctions are probably all pretty much the same.
However, he would need to find a place to stay after coming here, so choosing this place is fine.
"Let's stop here then! I've troubled Sect Master Meng to accompany me on the journey, so let's meet again at the auction tonight!"
"Brother Feng, what are you saying? You've come all this way to see me, of course I should stay with you to the very end!"
After saying that, she pulled Ye Feng inside to book a room without further ado.
With her, the leader of the Hehuan Sect, around, booking a room is naturally free.
It was the best room available.
Fortunately, she booked two rooms, which were separated by only one wall, thus saving Ye Feng from having to say a word.
The room was filled with spiritual energy and pleasantly aromatic fragrance.
The flowers placed there, and the fragrance they release, have a restorative effect on the Nascent Soul stage.
After more than two days of travel, even someone with a pure Nascent Soul body felt somewhat tired.
But now is not the time to rest.
Now that we're here, we should naturally take care of everything that needs to be done.
Ye Feng immediately took out the Harmony Array from his spatial storage and began contacting the only remaining employee of the Joyful Union Sect.
The shopkeeper was only a dozen miles away from the Hehuan Sect, and he quickly arrived after receiving the news.
The shop assistant's name is Shen Qiu.
Upon receiving the message personally from the sect leader, she felt both excited and apprehensive.
Each of the ten people sent to each sect actually had a team leader.
The captain of the Hehuan Sect's team was not her, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, but someone else.
But for some reason, more than half a month ago, news suddenly came from above...
She was given full authority over all sales tasks, and the other nine stores were all closed.
Such a drastic change naturally aroused ostracism and suspicion among the people.
Here, the people of the Hehuan Sect treated her with great courtesy, but the suppression from her companions still made her feel wronged.
Not only that, but some people even made various accusations and insults against her, saying that she colluded with outsiders and lined her own pockets.
The endless rumors almost made her give up...
But what can you do if you can't persevere here?
How could a mere Qi Refining cultivator with three mixed spiritual roots possibly return to the East Sea on her own?
Until today, she received a message.
The chairman actually came in person!
She asked herself if she had done anything wrong.
Goods transported from the East Sea often contain tens or even hundreds of thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
This value was astronomical for her.
But she was very careful and dared not make the slightest mistake.
Every sale was recorded and, along with the spirit stones, was sent back to the East Sea.
She remained unmoved by the temptations of the Hehuan Sect's investigation.
But...she didn't know whether what she had done had satisfied the president.
Or, to put it another way, did other people spread rumors or distort the truth in their messages?
She was just one person... but there were nine of them.
President, do you believe in yourself?
Was this trip to investigate me, or to have someone else come...?
Shen Qiu stood at the door, composed herself, and checked the serial numbers of the ledgers in the storage bag again.
This is the copy she kept every time she did the accounting.
With this in place, I believe the sect leader should be able to see through everything... right?
Happy World, Room Number One (Top Tier)
The moment Chen Qiu placed her hand on the door, the door opened automatically.
Behind the table, sitting...
It was none other than "Wang Lin," who had changed his appearance and was now smiling!
"Chen Qiu, please sit down! I am now formally informing you that you have become an inner disciple of the Penglai Sect. I have come here specifically to impart our sect's cultivation method to you!"
"I hope you will remain humble and continue to work hard!"
———
Yuyao Pass,
"Yang Dingtian, this item is a gift from the Demon Clan Venerable, the Golden Lion King, to Penglai. The current Lord of Penglai has a past relationship with your Hunyuan Sect, so you should deliver this gift to him!"
"Furthermore, although the points under your Hunyuan Sect are separated, when combined, they amount to nearly three Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm slots. Whether you hand them over to the Penglai Sect or sell them to it is your decision. The opening date of the Penglai Sect is approaching, so you should set off now!"
Yang Dingtian was a burly man, easily over two meters tall.
His face was resolute, as if carved by a knife and axe, and his gaze was confident and determined, as if nothing could trouble him.
But at this moment, he frowned and looked up at Venerable Aurora of the Wuji Palace.
"Venerable Aurora, can't I arrange these two spots myself?"
"You're making the arrangements yourself? Heh..."
Venerable Aurora chuckled twice, but did not speak further.
Yang Dingtian, however, completely understood his meaning.
Although the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm is fraught with danger, it also offers numerous opportunities.
Not only soul stones that can imbue artifacts with spirits, but also pre-crafted spiritual treasures... even magical treasures stronger than spirit-communicating artifacts.
Even more so, if one can obtain the opportunity to inherit the lineage, one can ascend to the heavens in one step, and it is not impossible to create another superior sect.
Otherwise, the demon race wouldn't be fighting them so relentlessly in Tiannan.
Even with his title of True Monarch Breaking Heaven, such a valuable spot in a secret realm is no different from that of an ordinary low-level cultivator in the eyes of the Venerable Ones of the Upper Sect.
Without the protection of a Nascent Soul Venerable, he, a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch, is nothing!
Holding the gift box, Yang Dingtian left the palace, then turned back and clenched his fists involuntarily.
Upper Sect!
Transformation into a Divine Being!
If I had another fifty years... I might be able to join their ranks.
But now,
He had diligently guarded the Demon-Suppressing Pass for decades, yet in the end, he had to depend on an outsider for even a single spot in the secret realm...
The Hunyuan Sect collapsed, and its disciples were divided into three factions.
But at Demon-Slaying Pass, there was the iron-fisted suppression of the Heaven-Breaking True Monarch.
To this day, the personnel stationed at Hunyuan Sect remain a unified whole.
It is precisely because of this that these three spots were preserved even when the subordinate sects were separated.
And now... he's being asked to hand it over like this!
They also had to bring gifts from the demon race to...
Disgrace! Disgrace!
'Divine Eye True Lord! You are also a Nascent Soul cultivator, so why are you treated like this? I, Yang Dingtian, refuse to accept this! You want these three spots... I'll see just how strong you really are!'
After Yang Dingtian left, discussions arose again inside the hall.
"Brother Aurora, these spots in the secret realm are precious. Why give them to Penglai?"
"Hehe... Brother Mingyang, why ask a question you already know the answer to? You sent the Three Talents True Lord over to make a show of it, wasn't that also to try and befriend this person?"
"Haha...I see. Let's not undermine each other, brothers. When Ye Feng arrives, we'll treat him equally."
The Aurora Venerable nodded.
"Although the Five Elements Sect is in decline, it is still an existence that is beyond our reach. With such talent, Ye Feng must be above the level of a true disciple. We will not flatter him, but we will not offend him either."
Venerable Mingyang stroked his beard, nodding and then shaking his head.
"This Heavenly Abundance Secret Realm is connected to the Central Continent. If Ye Feng enters the secret realm, his identity as a member of the Five Elements Sect will inevitably be exposed... What will happen then is still unpredictable!"
"That's not something we should be concerned about! But what are your plans, Brother Mingyang, regarding Ye Feng's deal with Jin Tan?"
"Of course!"
"Hmm... however, the distribution of the profits still needs to be discussed."
"Just tell the subordinates."
"good!"
