The auction was about to begin. Jiang Yun looked coldly at the group of casual cultivators who had already taken their seats below. All the foundation-building cultivators were in the top attic in front of the attic where they lived, looking down at the group of cultivators below from a high vantage point.
Beside him, Liu Yuan, who had not been seen for several days, also appeared here, but it seemed that he was just watching rather than participating in person.
Jiang Yun didn't fit in here. Not to mention the revealing and alluring female cultivator. Some were filled with murderous auras, while others wore black bamboo hats, completely covering their bodies. On the contrary, Jiang Yun, dressed in a green robe and looking more like a cultivator, stood out here.
"Welcome everyone to participate in this Juechen Island auction,"
Under the enthusiastic introduction of a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from Juechen Island, the Juechen Island Auction began.
It seems the Juechen Island Master wants to make his island the core of the Dongyu Archipelago. Jiang Yun pondered as he watched this scene. He had no idea what this auction would hold that would attract Foundation Establishment cultivators. Besides himself, who had followed Liu Yuan to the island, there were already six other Foundation Establishment cultivators from Dongyu who had come here.
This was quite common within the sects, but among independent cultivators, achieving Foundation Establishment was extremely rare. For Juechen Island to attract six Foundation Establishment cultivators from the surrounding area, it must have offered something truly rare. Jiang Yun immediately became intrigued.
Watching the items being sold one by one in the auction below, there was still nothing that caught the eye of the Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even the low-grade spiritual weapon that had just been auctioned, Jiang Yun and the Foundation Establishment cultivators around him were not tempted at all.
"Okay, the next item is an extremely rare and precious spiritual object from heaven and earth!"
Following the various words of praise from the cultivators below, as well as their eyes filled with greed, Jiang Yun knew that the main force was probably coming.
"Please welcome to the next item. Ice Spirit Liquid!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yun suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him became a little hotter, because of the fiery gazes of the group of foundation-building cultivators.
"Ice Spirit Liquid?"
This was the first time Jiang Yun had heard of this, but judging by the situation, it was probably a real treasure. Meanwhile, Liu Yuan, who was sitting next to Jiang Yun, used his magical power to transmit a sound to Jiang Yun's ears.
"Ice Spirit Liquid is a divine item from heaven and earth that can help Foundation Establishment cultivators advance to the Golden Core stage. If used together with Fire Spirit Liquid, refining the Golden Core with ice and fire can increase the chance of advancing to the Golden Core stage by 30%. Even if used alone, it can still increase the chance by 10%!"
Jiang Yun's pupils shrank as soon as these words came out. It could increase the chances of success in Golden Core Formation, so it was no wonder that so many Foundation Establishment cultivators were interested in it. But if that was the case, why would only these six come?
"Could it be?"
Just as Jiang Yun finished this thought, he heard a hearty laugh. In the distant sky, several figures flew over. Each of them was brimming with demonic energy. They rushed straight towards the auction.
Because of the auction at this time, the nearby formations have been completely closed. Only the platform where Jiang Yun is located has a simple formation protection.
"Monster?"
Jiang Yun looked at the three figures in the sky. The auras on their bodies were all those of Foundation Establishment cultivators, but what Jiang Yun found incredible was that the aura they exuded was not spiritual energy, nor the demonic energy that Jiang Yun had seen before, but demonic energy.
Jiang Yun felt Xiaobai's restlessness in the spirit beast bag in his body. He quickly put his hand on the spirit beast bag and gently stroked it, which calmed Xiaobai's restlessness.
"This is a demon cultivator, an alien existence in the East China Sea cultivation world."
Liu Yuan's face was also solemn at this time. He had only promised Wei Juechen to bring many things to enrich the auction, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually produce such a rare treasure as the Ice Spirit Liquid. Moreover, it also attracted demon cultivators.
"Demon cultivators." This was the first time Jiang Yun had heard of this type of cultivator. He only knew of demon beasts, which were numerous in the Yunluo Mountains. But even in the Luonan cultivation world, demon cultivators had never been heard of.
"There's a strange demon beast in the East China Sea cultivation world. A cultivator can symbiotically combine with it, becoming this kind of demon cultivator."
This was the first time Jiang Yun had heard of this. It was truly a world filled with wonders. While the two were talking, the five demon cultivators in mid-air had already arrived at the auction. From their high vantage point, they gazed down at the cultivators below.
"Wei Juechen, after stealing the spiritual objects from the ancestral land, it's time to return them!"
Hearing the voice of the demon cultivator in mid-air, there was an uproar below. No one wanted to be involved in the fight between the foundation-building cultivators for no reason.
"How dare you, demon cultivator? All your fellow Taoists are here. Do you still dare to be so arrogant?"
Wei Juechen's icy voice echoed throughout the auction. Upon hearing this, the Foundation Establishment cultivators beside Jiang Yun glared at Wei Juechen below, realizing they were being used as a pawn.
"Haha, Wei Juechen, do you really think it's just us?"
As soon as the demon cultivator said this, Jiang Yun suddenly felt a strong wind rushing towards him. In the strong wind, there was even a trace of demonic energy mixed in.
"Hahaha! My little rascal, I told you you're mine."
It turned out to be Jiang Yun's enchanting neighbor, who pounced on Jiang Yun and Liu Yuan like a water snake. At the same time, a cultivator in a black robe and a conical hat also attacked the two of them in an instant.
"This matter is only aimed at Wei Juechen. No one else matters. If you don't want to live, just attack!"
The man in black clothes and a bamboo hat spoke fiercely as he lunged forward. There were six Foundation Establishment cultivators at this point, two of whom defected immediately. The remaining four also instantly adopted a defensive stance, but showed no intention of coming to help.
"court death!"
Liu Yuan and Jiang Yun were obviously considered to be in the same group as Wei Juechen. At the same time, Liu Yuan was filled with hatred. He did not expect that Wei Juechen, with whom he had cooperated many times, would do such a thing.
"bite!"
Jiang Yun's white-bladed sword quickly moved out, blocking the black needle thrown by the female cultivator. At the same time, Liu Yuan's spiritual sword also appeared in his hand, blocking the black-clothed male cultivator who was rushing towards him.
"superior!"
Seeing three demon cultivators fighting in the attic, the leader pointed his finger, and the three of them suddenly rushed towards Wei Juechen below.
"Ice Spirit Liquid! Whoever makes a move will be given Ice Spirit Liquid!"
Seeing the three Foundation Establishment demon cultivators charging towards him, Wei Juechen shouted loudly. As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yun could clearly feel the four main foundation cultivators around him become visibly moved. The two cultivators who had originally attacked him and Liu Yuan fiercely also became timid.
"die!"
When the demon cultivators outside heard this, a demonic energy suddenly took shape in their hands, turning into a curved snake cone. They instantly shot out towards Wei Juechen.
"Bang!"
Wei Juechen received the attack and suddenly jumped onto the attic, preparing to draw the flames of war to the remaining four foundation-building cultivators.
