When the traffickers saw someone come in, they quickly went forward to greet them.
The other party was also wearing a mask that could isolate divine sense and aura, clearly knowing that this job was not easy.
However, judging from his physique, he was a short, stout man, and his voice sounded somewhat obsequious.
"What kind of apprentices are you looking for? I guarantee that every single one of them here is very obedient. If you point east, they won't dare to go west. And don't let their young age fool you, they are all very good-looking. I guarantee you won't regret buying one."
Ye Sisi's anger, which she had managed to suppress, suddenly flared up again, but she forced herself to hold it back.
They call themselves apprentices? They're a bunch of filthy bastards.
She reached out to stop Su Jiuli from stepping forward, changed her voice to that of an old man, and said with a forced smile, "You snobbish thing, who do you think you are? Trying to fool me with this."
Although the short, stout man was displeased, he still forced a smile and said, "How could I dare? You're clearly no ordinary person; all the good stuff is up there, it's just..."
Ye Sisi knew from his lewd eyes and actions that he wanted money.
Hmph, are they bullying her because she's broke or something?
So, feeling a little reluctant, he took out a bag of spirit stones and threw it over.
The short, stout man opened it and saw that it hadn't been touched.
The glint in her eyes behind the mask screamed, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
Ye Sisi was furious. What? A thousand high-grade spirit stones weren't enough to get her in? This guy is too greedy!
The atmosphere inexplicably turned tense. Ye Sisi coldly stared at the short, fat man in front of her, clenching her fists, hesitating whether to kill him right now. It was too much to bully people like this.
Seeing that this trick didn't work, the short, stout man guessed that these people might not be first-timers, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand, turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended, these are all the rules."
Ye Sisi...
As expected, she was still too inexperienced. Today she had to figure this place out thoroughly. One day she would take it all down, or she would change her name.
Sensing that the faint divine sense was no longer watching her, Ye Sisi's tense body relaxed a bit. Damn it, it's just a Void Refinement cultivator. Just wait, once she reaches Void Refinement, she'll definitely beat this guy's brains out.
Following the short, stout man up to the second floor, Ye Sisi certainly broadened her horizons.
The second floor turned out to be a small auction hall, and what was being auctioned off? All of them were pretty young girls.
The girls were all dressed up and locked in cages, with chains around their necks. Even with their faces covered in exquisite makeup, all that could be seen were their pretty exteriors; their souls were already numb and despondent.
The short, stout man led Ye Sisi and her three companions to seats in the middle and back rows. The front of the private room was already full, and shadowy figures could be seen from outside.
She composed herself and sat down; the situation here was far more complex than she had imagined.
She was unaware of the situation in the shadows, but among the crowd sitting in front of her, there were at least three at the Void Refinement stage, many more at the Divine Transformation stage, and naturally, many at the Out-of-Body stage.
Judging from the aura emanating from the corner, there were at least four people at the Void Refinement stage. It was obvious that they were there to keep order, and it seemed that the plan to make a big move today was going to fall through.
Even if Ye Sisi tried to intimidate them, she wouldn't dare to fight so many Void Refinement cultivators head-on.
Moreover, she would never put herself or her fellow students in danger because of others, even if those girls were pitiful, she would feel sorry for them.
However, she will remember every scene from today, and she will also remember the presence of these people.
On the auction stage, a scantily clad female cultivator in pink swayed her slender waist and laughed, "Enough with the nonsense, today's eighteen girls are all absolute beauties, and their spiritual roots are all outstanding."
As she spoke, she slightly raised her chin, and two burly men pushed an iron cage to the center of the auction stage.
"Little Butterfly, twelve years old, is an absolute beauty in the making, and what's most remarkable is her spiritual root,"
As if deliberately whetting everyone's appetite, the pink-clad female cultivator looked around and said, "Top-grade dual spiritual roots of water and wood. This is a genius-level treasure in any major sect. The starting price is one million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Ye Sisi was shocked by the price. She now realized that having a single spiritual root was not the best in the Spirit Realm; the more spiritual roots one had, the higher the potential.
The starting bid for this young lady, Xiaodie, is one million high-grade spirit stones. No wonder these unscrupulous people are doing this kind of business; it's much faster to make money this way than by killing monsters.
She was still furious, and she cursed all the heartless people here to die a horrible death.
But she always felt something was off. Although the auctioneer was dressed provocatively and would occasionally wink, he didn't seem to have any air of vulgarity about him. It just felt a bit off.
Before she could figure it out, quite a few people started bidding.
The bidding stopped only when someone offered ten million.
Ye Sisi touched the spatial ring on her hand, which contained only a pitiful one million high-grade spirit stones. She had originally thought she was quite rich.
Compared to these bastards, I'm practically a penniless wretch.
The second girl was thirteen years old, with top-grade water, wood, and earth spiritual roots, and the final transaction price reached twelve million.
Ye Sisi also held up the sign a few times as a formality, otherwise she would be too out of place and attract attention.
They were just too weak; otherwise, they could have just charged in and wreaked havoc without having to worry about anything.
After some time, Ye Sisi and the other three decided to leave. It was impossible to save anyone today, and it was also unrealistic to try to find out more, since several Void Refinement cultivators were watching them.
Instead of searching, we might as well go down and see if we can rescue the children below without them noticing.
Before the four of them could get up, a man in white robes stepped out of the private room. He was wearing a fox mask, holding a folding fan, and accompanied by a tall woman in black.
They probably wanted to leave first, but they were stopped as soon as they reached the entrance of the venue.
They were also told that they had to watch the entire auction today.
Ye Sisi had a bad feeling. It seemed like she had come at the wrong time. Something seemed off about this auction house.
