Dong Laozu's cry of surprise caused over a hundred Divine Wills in the auction hall to touch the jade box in his hand. However, after Dong Laozu saw these things, he had already covered up the item in the jade box. When everyone's Divine Wills probed it, they all retreated after hitting a wall.
Everyone could only watch as Dong Laozu opened the other jade box calmly. However, due to Dong Laozu's intentional covering up, they could no longer see what was in the other jade box clearly.
After Dong Laozu opened the second jade box, the surprise on his face became even more intense, causing the curious cultivators below the stage to be even more bewildered. However, after Dong Laozu carefully closed the jade box, he returned the other storage pouches one by one, leaving only the last storage pouch in his hand. After that, Dong Laozu placed the Oceanic Jasper Pearl into the jade box. After that, the teleportation light on the jade table flickered. Obviously, Dong Laozu believed that the person who sent the last storage pouch was the owner of this high-grade earth-rank spiritual item.
Although the cultivators in the auction hall were curious which pavilion had paid what price to exchange for the Oceanic Jasper Pearl from Dong Laozu's hands, they were too embarrassed to ask since Dong Laozu did not say.
Just as Dong Laozu was about to take out the next item for auction, a clear laughter suddenly came from the sky, and the laughter from Pavilion No.40 in the sky continued. "Mister Dong, may I know what kind of precious spirit pill was used to exchange for the Oceanic Jasper Pearl just now? I've offered over 20 types of spirit pills, and a total of over a hundred bottles. Their value has already surpassed the Oceanic Jasper Pearl by quite a lot, but they're not a match for the other party's two jade boxes. It's not because I'm indignant, I'm just curious about what exactly is in the jade box. "
Dong Laozu pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "So it's Young Master Feixiang from the Yuwen Clan of the Central Plains, Yuwen. Although Young Master Yuwen is generous, apart from the person who obtained the Oceanic Jasper Pearl, he's not the highest bidder. The person who obtained the Oceanic Jasper Pearl doesn't want others to know what was used for the transaction. Due to the rules of this auction, I can only apologize to Young Master Yuwen. Please don't ask for any information about the auctioneer and the bidder. "
That clear voice didn't take Old Ancestor Dong's words seriously, and said with a smile, "I won't belittle myself. After all, there's still the Crystal Palace and the eight great sects in this overseas cultivation world. It's normal for me to be inferior to them. It's just that I'm unable to find out exactly what the medicinal pill used to exchange for the Oceanic Jade Heart Pearl is. I believe that all the fellow daoists who are participating in this auction feel the same way as I do, feeling regretful in the end."
Dong Laozu chuckled and didn't say anything else. Instead, he took out the next item and introduced it to the people in the auction hall.
The interruption of the Young Master from the Central Plains was like a tidbit in this auction. However, many cultivators who had participated in the overseas auction knew in their hearts that this was the effect of the Yuwen Clan's reputation as the number one clan in the cultivation world. If someone had done this in the past and acted so openly, they would probably have been chased out of Phantom City by the auction hall's Dharma Idol, Laozu.
In the twenty-fourth room, Li Xuanru tried her best to calm down and pushed the jade box containing the Oceanic Jasper Pearl that Lu Ping had pushed over to her. She said, "Junior Brother, you also cultivate a water attribute cultivation method and are only a step away from advancing to the sixth layer of the Core Forging Realm. This Oceanic Jasper Pearl is really too precious. Junior Brother, you should keep it for your own use. Senior Sister, you know your own strength very well. Even with this Oceanic Jasper Pearl, I'm afraid it'll take a hundred years of accumulation before you can refine it. Junior Brother's strength far surpasses Senior Sister's. I'm afraid that once you advance to the sixth layer of the Core Forging Realm, you'll be able to refine this kind of high-grade earth-rank spiritual item."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Senior Martial Sister, feel free to use it. I have my own plans for the spirit pellets I need to break through to the Late Core Forging Realm. Besides, I just happened to have a few suitable spirit pellets on me, which is why I was able to win the auction. Otherwise, with my wealth, how could I have traded for such a treasure?"
Li Xuanru still shook her head and said, "This item is really too precious. No matter what, I can't casually use it. I'm afraid I won't be able to return it in the future."
Lu Ping laughed involuntarily and said, "Senior Sister, did you forget that this auction is for the sect to collect spiritual items for you to advance to the late stage of the Core Forging Realm? Could it be that Senior Sister is afraid that the sect won't compensate you after you return?"
Li Xuanru's eyes lit up when she heard Lu Ping's words. She said, "That's right! This is a treasure that Junior Brother helped the sect obtain. The sect has always been clear about rewards and punishments. How could we let Junior Brother suffer a loss? Moreover, Teacher is in charge of the sect. Hehe, Senior Sister didn't think of this."
Lu Ping pushed the jade box back to Li Xuanru and said with a smile, "Senior Sister, you're confused because you're too concerned!"
Li Xuanru happily put the jade box away. She no longer cared about talking to Lu Ping. Instead, she carefully looked at the huge pearl in the jade box with a heart full of joy.
Li Xuanru really felt that the Deep Ocean Jade Pearl was indeed too precious. She also wanted to use this opportunity to deliberately put on a show with Lu Ping and humiliate Tian Qin Laozu. Lu Ping also understood this very well. Naturally, they cooperated very well. This could be considered as a blatant provocation to a Dharma Adept, Laozu.
In all fairness, Lu Ping and his junior brother were also very daring. They did not respect the Dharma Laozu of their own sect at all. In the eyes of others, this was simply an act of seeking death. If the two of them did not have a Dharma Adept standing behind them, they would definitely not have the guts to provoke a Dharma Adept, Lu Ping. This could be considered as a fox exploiting a tiger's might.
However, Lu Ping could also see clearly that after this Tian Qin Laozu returned to the sect, there would definitely be a fight between him and his teacher.
Liu Tianling Laozu was decisive and had quite a bit of prestige in Zhenling. Naturally, she was not someone to be trifled with. This time, when she regained control of Zhenling, she actually held the real power of the sect leader. With the righteousness of the sect in her hands, she was even more unafraid of Tian Qin Laozu's provocation. However, this time, the actions of Lu Ping and his junior brother were also hoping to further damage Tian Qin Laozu's prestige in the sect. This would make her even more vulnerable when facing her teacher after she returned to the sect.
The atmosphere in room number 24 was very awkward. Although Tian Qin Laozu was still sitting in the room without moving, the whole room was filled with the coldness of her body, causing Spiritual Master Xuantian and the other third generation disciples to be as quiet as cicadas in winter.
Spiritual Master Xuanxu's expression was a bit unhappy. Even Spiritual Master Xuansen was a bit displeased by Lu Ping's naked provocation. They were all the best among the second generation disciples. Although Lu Ping's actions this time were aimed at Tian Qin Laozu, it was also a performance of a third generation disciple being domineering and not putting the second generation disciples in their eyes. Regarding this, Lu Ping also felt a bit helpless. His actions just now were more or less thoughtless. However, for an item like the Azure Blue Heart Pearl that could only be encountered by chance, and it just so happened that Lu Ping had something suitable to exchange for it, even if it was not suitable for Li Xuanru, Lu Ping would not let it go. Because the next time he encountered the same thing, Lu Ping was not confident that he would be able to meet the requirements of the auctioneer.
After Dong Laozu revealed the identity of Yuwen Fei Fei of the Yuwen Family in room number 40, Lu Ping's attention was immediately drawn away from the room. Lu Ping could not help but think of the embroidered clothed cultivator who was accompanied by Shangguan Hao in front of the Store of Bountiful Treasures that day.
Shangguan Hao was someone he had to kill. Just because he knew the identity of Samling, Lu Ping had no reason to let this person who could bring danger to him live.
However, if Lu Ping wanted to kill Shangguan Hao, it was obvious that Yuwen Fei Fei was an obstacle. Although Lu Ping had never been to the Central Plains, he still knew the prestige of the Yuwen Family. The Yuwen Family was the only family in the cultivation world that could be on an equal footing with the large sects in the cultivation world.
Legend had it that the Yuwen Family had a long history and was not inferior to the few large sects in the Central Plains. It could be traced back to the time when the Seventh Patriarch opened the sky. The Yuwen Family even took the head of the Seventh Patriarch, Peng Laozu, as the family's ancestor and claimed to be the direct descendant of Peng Laozu.
The Yuwen Family had a deep heritage and a high status in the Central Plains. Even some of the large sects treated the people of the Yuwen Family with great courtesy. Therefore, after Dong Laozu revealed the identity of Yuwen Fei Fei, although there was a hidden warning, he did not directly expel her from the Phantom City according to the previous rules of the overseas cultivation world.
Unconsciously, Lu Ping actually put the Yuwen Family in his own hostile position and began to think.
Right at this moment, Old Ancestor Dong placed a jade slip on the auction stand. He smiled and said, "The next item is much simpler. However, its importance isn't the slightest bit inferior. I won't say much about the value of the Forbidden Elixir Cauldron. The starting price is 600 Upper Spiritual Stones. The highest bidder wins. "
Lu Ping did not like the Phantom City's method of combining auctions and bartering because there were too many uncertainties. For example, Lu Ping had used two jade boxes earlier. One contained eight Heart Dissolving Pills, while the other contained three Heart Forging Pills. The safest way to deal with such an item that could cause a huge commotion in the cultivation world was to privately trade with the user of the Azure Sea Blue Beads. However, it was too dangerous to do so in an auction. Even though Lu Ping was alert and had attached his divine sense to the jade box in advance and secretly reached an agreement with Dong Laozu, it still attracted the attention of some people.
However, Lu Ping had to admit that the Phantom City could only use this method to gather as many cultivators from the overseas cultivation world as possible. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Lu Ping to obtain the Azure Sea Blue Beads in such a way.
The appearance of the Forbidden Elixir Cauldron seemed to have given Tian Qin Laozu a way to vent her anger. The starting price of seven Highest Spiritual Stones attracted many big and small forces and even high level rogue cultivators to participate in the bidding. The price of the Forbidden Elixir Cauldron quickly broke through one thousand Upper Spiritual Stones.
"One thousand one hundred Upper Spiritual Stones!"
Tian Qin Laozu called out a new high price calmly. However, Lu Ping could hear the coldness in her calm voice.
Spiritual Master Xuan Sen, who was at the side, said, "Senior Sister, this price is …"
Tian Qin Laozu coldly interrupted Spiritual Master Xuan Sen and said, "Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about this. You don't know how important the Forbidden Elixir Cauldron is to our sect."
"But …"
"Alright, I know what I'm doing!"
