The rest was much easier.
Asking the shadows to send those mortals back to the mortal realm, Tianning took out a bunch of things from his mustard seed bag and distributed them to the group of ten, each of them carrying a full bunch.
The shadows stared at her with shining eyes.
Shadow Nine: "She's good!"
Shadow Ten: "She's kind!"
The remaining seven shadows nodded vigorously.
Shadow One: "This... is too much."
The handful of things Tianning gave him was more than all the possessions he had in his bag.
He was so old, yet he took things from a young girl, making him blush with embarrassment...
"Of course I want to express my gratitude for your help!" Tian Ning said sincerely.
Once these living mortals are sent back to the village, the rumors of divine sacrifice will be disproven. There are no gods at all, only people pretending to be gods!
However, each village has someone who has had their face replaced, so the Shadows still need to step in to solve the problem.
Tianning then took out communication jade slips from her storage pouch and distributed them to everyone, so they could contact her anytime if anything happened.
Judging by the time, the auction in the Western Continent is about to begin. Tian Ning plans to relax and have some fun. Afterwards, he still needs to find out who is behind this and participate in the individual competition of the Six Sects Grand Competition, as well as the random tasks that the old man sends out from time to time. He'll be busy for a while.
As for why the spiritual energy in Ghost Doctor Valley is limited, it's because the flowers and plants grown there are special and can absorb all the spiritual energy in the air. Tianning simply had Qiuqiu set fire to the entire mountain and burn it down.
The Phoenix Fire can burn away all evil spirits in the world. The fire burned in Ghost Doctor Valley for three whole days. After the flowers and plants were burned to ashes, they would become nutrients for the soil.
Once the new plants grow next year, Ghost Doctor Valley will become just like any other mountain range...
As for why Qiuqiu wasn't allowed to set fires earlier, it was because they were worried about hurting the mortals in the houses far away.
When those who came to check on the situation at Ghost Doctor Valley arrived, they found only ruins. The Ghost Doctor was dead, and the so-called list had been burned in the fire.
They only learned from the escaped cultivators that a young girl, who looked quite young, had turned the Shadows against the Ghost Doctor Valley and turned it into this state.
Tian Ning had already taken out the Demon Sword and placed a cushion under herself beforehand, since she had already fallen twice and wasn't sure if she could successfully reach the auction this time.
Of course, she learned her lesson.
I put some pills in the inside pocket of my clothes, just in case!
This time there were no mishaps. Tianning arrived at just the right time; the auction was about to begin in an hour.
By this time, all the guests who were supposed to go in had already gone in, and Tianning stood out conspicuously alone.
A servant stopped Tianning, explaining that three rules needed to be followed to enter the auction:
1. Entrance fee: one high-level spirit stone.
This high-grade spirit stone is being held temporarily by the auction house to prove that the customer has sufficient funds and is bidding in good faith; it also serves as a deposit. The high-grade spirit stone will be returned to the customer after the auction concludes.
2. Guests are required to bring one item for auction to enhance the enjoyment of the auction.
It doesn't need to be anything precious; anything will do. This is an entertainment element specially set up by the auction house. If the item is successfully bid on, the auction house will take a 10% cut, and the remainder will go to the customer.
3. Wear a mask.
Considering the special status of many guests, the auction organizers were quite considerate and allowed them to wear masks.
