The Qingtong Pavilion had a total of four floors. The first floor housed small forces with less than five Golden Core cultivators.
Medium-sized forces with five to ten Golden Core cultivators lived on the second floor.
Large-scale forces with more than ten Golden Core cultivators lived on the third floor.
The strength of the four top forces was not on the same level as the other forces.
In order to show respect, they lived on the top floor.
Zhou Jingkai led Wang Daoyuan and Zhong Zhenyang to their respective rooms.
Wang Daoyuan lived on the first floor, and Zhong Zhenyang lived on the second floor.
Among the Golden Core cultivators who had already arrived, there were no acquaintances of Wang Daoyuan.
He also did not go out to visit, and just stayed in his room.
In the next five days, dozens of forces came one after another.
After that, no other forces dared to come over.
Wang Daoyuan scanned the entire Qingtong Pavilion with his spiritual consciousness and found that there were more than forty rooms on the first floor, more than twenty on the second floor, and more than ten on the third floor. In total, there were more than eighty Golden Core cultivators.
His spiritual consciousness was always staring at the door, and he found that these Golden Core forces all came with one person.
Eighty Golden Core cultivators meant that there were more than eighty Golden Core forces.
There were more than a hundred Golden Core forces in the entire Beiyuan Xiuxian, and there were still more than twenty who had not come.
Most of these forces came from various countries.
The remaining small number of forces came from dangerous places all over the world.
For example, Wang Daoyuan also met an acquaintance. It was the Flying Sand Wanderer who dominated Mingsha Plain.
This guy had now succeeded in forming his Gold Core. Wang Daoyuan paid him a special visit and learned that this guy had unified Mingsha Plain.
Although he married a lot of half-demon women, he was still a proper human.
The Flying Sand Wanderer had now changed his name to Mingsha Sect. He gathered rogue cultivators from all over the world and operated his territory. He was no longer the former bandits.
This guy also knew how to behave, and he tightly hugged the thigh of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
The Divine Weapon Pavilion did not treat him unfairly and invited him over.
Wang Daoyuan and he could be considered old friends, so he went to say hello.
Three days before the auction, the four top forces arrived one after another.
All the sects had sent peak-stage Gold Core Realm cultivators. The Taiyi Sword Sect and the Archaic Mysteries Sect each sent three peak-stage Gold Core Realm cultivators, but Wang Daoyuan did not recognize any of them.
Among the people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there was his master, Venerable Lei Yan. Wang Daoyuan naturally had to pay him a visit.
Arriving at the top floor where his master was temporarily staying, he bowed to his master.
Daoist Lei Yan opened all the restrictions in the room and said with a smile, "Your cultivation progress is really fast. At this rate, you'll be able to enter the middle Golden Core stage in another ten years or so.
It's just that your Qi and blood fluctuations are different from before. It seems like your Primordial Yang is gone. Have you found a Dao companion? "
Wang Daoyuan smiled awkwardly. "I can't hide anything from you. I do have a Dao companion."
Daoist Thunderflame nodded and said, "It's good to find a dao companion. Give me a grand-disciple as soon as possible.
You are talented and intelligent, and now that you have reached the Golden Core stage, as long as your child has spiritual roots, his or her talent will definitely not be bad.
Which family is your Dao companion from? What is her cultivation level? "
Wang Daoyuan replied, "Her cultivation level is about the same as mine. She is from a distant branch of the Zhou clan and is of the same generation as the current Zhou Emperor. However, she no longer has any contact with the Zhou clan.
It's just that her identity cannot be revealed. Master, you must keep it a secret.
That's right, Master, I want to ask you for the method of condensing spiritual fire with a minor divine ability.
My Dao companion's minor divine ability is also a flame. It's just that she has yet to cultivate spiritual fire. "
Daoist Lei Yan's face was full of admiration. "Good lad, you can even find a genius with a minor divine ability when looking for a Dao companion.
However, you have also helped me vent my anger.
That old man, the Retired Emperor of Zhou, relied on his age and his friendship with your grandmaster to act like an elder.
Now, I'm finally on the same level as him. "
The Retired Emperor of Zhou, who was also Zhou Jingyuan's grandfather, was already over eleven hundred years old.
The Zhou clan had the Phoenix bloodline. A few Golden Core cultivators with a high concentration of Phoenix bloodline could live over a thousand years old.
After saying this, Daoist Lei Yan handed a jade slip to Wang Daoyuan and smiled. "This is my secret technique for condensing the Purple Thunder Divine Flame. It can be used as a reference."
Wang Daoyuan received the jade slip and thanked him repeatedly.
After chatting with his master for a few days, Wang Daoyuan asked him many questions about Golden Core cultivation.
Soon after, Wang Daoyuan left his master's cave and went to visit the Taiyi Sword Sect and Archaic Mysteries Sect to ask about the recent situation of his acquaintances.
Three days later, the auction officially began.
The location of the auction was the Phoenix Stage in the center of the capital city.
Zhou Jingyuan brought a few Golden Core cultivators of the Zhou clan and personally came to the Green Tong Pavilion to welcome the other Golden Core cultivators.
The cultivators of the four top powers walked at the front while the cultivators of the other powers lined up according to their power. Everyone rode a cloud towards the Phoenix Stage.
The Phoenix Stage had a long history. It was said that it was first seen when the Zhou Country was founded.
At the center of the Phoenix Stage was a stage that was more than twenty feet tall and a hundred feet long. There were many palaces around it.
The auction platform for this time's auction was set up on this high platform.
The cultivators of the various clans who participated in the auction sat in the palaces around the stage.
After the auction, the Golden Core cultivators would travel around the Phoenix Stage and then participate in the exchange.
Under the guidance of the Zhou clan cultivators, everyone walked to their respective seats.
The four top powers sat in the palaces around the stage.
Wang Daoyuan followed his master and sat in the south of the stage.
Soon after, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator of the Zhou clan came forward and said some polite words. In the end, he said, "This auction has a total of two hundred Yin Yang Purple Jades and Purple Cloud Wood Cores. Fifty of them will be auctioned individually while the rest will be auctioned in groups of five."
The first fifty were auctioned individually to take care of the smaller clans.
The latter five were auctioned in groups to take care of the larger clans.
The total number of Yin Yang Purple Jades and Purple Cloud Wood Cores auctioned each time was different. This was decided by the four top powers after discussion.
The Zhou Country, the Qin Country, and several second-rate forces could also produce some Yin Yang Purple Jades and Purple Cloud Wood Cores, but they were not very stable.
Moreover, there were not many of them. It was far from enough for their own use.
Auctioning these things seemed to be an order given to the four great clans by an ancient mighty figure. It was also a means for the four great clans to maintain their aloof status.
In addition to this kind of public auction, they could also exchange benefits with the four great clans to obtain some Yin Yang Purple Jades.
Otherwise, these two hundred wouldn't be enough for so many Golden Core clans.
Most of the cultivators who didn't participate in the auction had other channels to obtain Yin Yang Purple Jades from the four great clans.
As soon as the auction began, Wanderer Flying Sand next to him sent him a voice transmission. "Daoyou, let's join forces to take down a group of five Yin Yang Purple Jades. When the time comes, you take three and I take two, or you take two and I take three. What do you think, Daoyou?"
Wang Daoyuan naturally had no objections and immediately agreed.
With more than six million Spirit Stones in his hand, he didn't feel any pressure to take down a group.
However, if he took it alone, it would be too hateful.
Especially the people from the three great sects of the State of Zhao, Wang Daoyuan didn't want to be suppressed by them.
In the first fifty bids, Wang Daoyuan also called a few bids, but he only called 850,000 at most.
The price of a single auction was relatively high, so it wasn't cost-effective to take it down at this time.
In the space of the spiritual bead, the pure Yin and pure Yang qi produced by the Gui Water Death Flame and the Scarlet Yang True Fire was enough. Some purple qi was produced in the middle of the space. Wang Daoyuan also planted a few Purple Cloud Trees there.
As the spiritual fire grew, the amount of Yin Yang Purple Qi produced would also increase.
It was estimated that in a few decades, he would be able to produce Purple Cloud Wood Cores.
There was no need to buy too much now, as it would only invite hatred for no reason.
After the auction of the fifty single auctions, the average price was about 950,000.
Then, the auction began in groups of five.
This time, Wang Daoyuan didn't speak and let Wanderer Flying Sand shout the price.
In the end, Wanderer Flying Sand bought a group of Yin Yang Purple Jades at the price of 4.3 million.
The average price was 860,000 each, which was much more cost-effective than a single auction.
The three great sects of the State of Zhao had been relatively peaceful these years, and they had accumulated more Spirit Stones in their hands, so they each took a group.
