Revealing the Mystery with a Single Sentence
"Alright. I never expected that I would actually be able to exchange for so many Life Celestial Coins. Then let's exchange! In any case, these are all things that I obtained from that Deep Sea Pirate. He painstakingly collected them for his entire life, and in the end, they benefited me. These are all unexpected delights, and they aren't of much use to me. It naturally couldn't be any better to be able to exchange them for more money. " Xuanyuan waved his hand and smiled. He seemed as if he didn't care at all, and he'd let Bai Peony handle these matters to show that he trusted her very much.
"Haha. Young Master Shitian, there's no need to be anxious. I've only made a rough estimate. I'll get my subordinates to swiftly count them now, and then I'll give you an accurate price. Perhaps it'll be even more. There are many precious treasures of heaven and earth among them that are rare immortal treasures. Even though they aren't very rare, there aren't many of them left in the world, so the price should still be evaluated." Bai Peony spoke the truth. There was still an unfathomable existence like Ye Wushuang at the side, so she naturally didn't dare recklessly calculate the price. She tapped lightly with her finger and drew out a few Dao markings that shot into the sky. She didn't leave at all.
"Alright. Young Master Shitian, wait patiently. Someone will naturally give you a fair and reasonable price in a while, and they'll absolutely not be greedy for a single cent."
With Bai Peony's abundant experience, she was naturally able to understand that these two young men that were brought here by Ye Wushuang absolutely couldn't be underestimated. Especially Xuanyuan, he always gave her a feeling that he was unfathomable. As for Peng Fei, he had a lecherous expression on his face, but his heart remained unmoved from beginning to end. Bai Peony felt that in all these years, there were very few men of the younger generation that were able to maintain such composure towards her. They were able to possess such ability at such a young age, and it was sufficient to discern that they were extraordinary.
After all, she was the number one beauty of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce in the Innumerable Island of Immortals. If it wasn't for that unfathomable female Palace Master in the Innumerable Island of Immortals' Reward and Punishment Hall, Bai Peony would have long been hailed as the number one beauty of the Innumerable Island of Immortals. It was also precisely because Ye Wushuang could suppress Bai Peony even when he wasn't born that Bai Peony had a deep fear towards Ye Wushuang.
After all, people who were able to achieve such great achievements were definitely not simple people. Bai Peony didn't care about these false reputations, but it was difficult to fathom the will of the heavens. To Bai Peony, Ye Wushuang was the heavens, so she was very careful and cautious in many aspects to ensure that she didn't make any mistakes. Every person who had stepped into the realm of sages, even a giant in the business world like the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, had to be careful because they really couldn't afford to offend them. Moreover, most of the time, the Taibai Chamber of Commerce also needed the help of these people, so they had to manage their relationships well.
Xu Anyuan and Peng Fei didn't know about Bai Peony's hidden cautiousness. They continued to watch the auction. From the mid-grade immortal artifact sets to the supreme immortal artifact sets, most of them were won by the Dao Palace of East Sea. This made countless major forces look at the Dao Palace of East Sea in disbelief that the Dao Palace of East Sea had to be so wealthy.
In fact, if they knew that the Dao Palace of East Sea had a terrifying force behind it, they would understand that this amount of money was nothing to the Dao Palace of East Sea. It was the price the Dao Palace of East Sea had to pay to obtain the rare treasure in the Dao Burial of the Sea. It was just a small sum of money for the Dao Palace of East Sea to have people work for it. After all, the life of an Earth Immortal or Heaven Immortal was not something that could be bought with a set of upper-grade immortal treasures or supreme immortal treasures.
In order to obtain the treasures left behind by the ancient sages in the Dao Burial Tomb of the Sea, Eternal Life didn't care about the price at all. Especially since it was an ancient sage who knew the Fengshui Ancient God Technique, it made him even more mysterious. As long as he could obtain the Fengshui Ancient God Technique, everything would be worth it.
"Attention, everyone. The last immortal artifact set is a supreme immortal artifact called the Jade Dragon Immortal Artifact Set. Each set is priced at ten billion Life Celestial Coins. There are nine sets in total, and the starting bid is ninety billion Life Celestial Coins!"
A supreme immortal artifact was no small matter. Compared to a high-grade immortal artifact, the difference between the two was like the difference between clouds and mud. Naturally, the difference in price was not small. Xu Anyuan looked at the major forces below him. In the seats of many experts, there was a maid who explained the mysteries of the supreme immortal artifact set to them.
"This Jade Dragon Immortal Artifact Set was created by the Eastern Continent's Sengoku. With this supreme immortal artifact, one can transform into a jade dragon. When the nine dragons unite, they can seal the heavens and lock the earth. They can even kill Sky Immortals with ease, unless they have a low-grade immortal artifact to protect themselves. But even if they do, they may not be able to withstand it. You can imagine the power of these nine sets of supreme immortal artifacts!" The White Peony also began to explain. Although she knew that Xuanyuan and Pengfei were so mysterious that they wouldn't be interested in these treasures, this was her duty. Naturally, she had to go through the process and explain it once.
"One hundred billion!" A determined voice came from the VIP room of the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace.
"Hiss … it's the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace again. Where did they get so much money? How could they buy so many treasures? Could it be that they have already developed to such a rapid stage in these past few years? " There was a rogue cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm who was only a step away from the Celestial Immortal Realm. He had painstakingly cultivated, but now he only had a supreme Celestial Artifact with him. He was very poor. In such an environment, there were very few people who could be extremely rich without killing and looting.
"Haha, the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace is recruiting talents. If any of you are interested in the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace, feel free to come. We have countless treasures and immortal pills, as well as supreme dao techniques and mystiques. Hahaha, but to each his own, I won't force you. If you're interested, feel free to come and try. You won't be disappointed …"
As soon as this was said, many people were tempted. It was common knowledge that the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace had bought so many treasures. Everyone could see it, and they were very wealthy. Now that they were recruiting talents, it was obvious that they were in need of manpower. Many people were worried about not having good treasures. If they joined the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace, they would not only have something to rely on, but they would also have superior-grade immortal artifacts, supreme immortal artifacts, and supreme dao techniques. This was a fatal temptation.
"From the looks of it, the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace wants to expand its influence and compete with the first-rate forces of Innumerable Islands of Immortals. This is a great opportunity. If I stay on Innumerable Islands of Immortals, I don't know how long I'll have to wait to exchange for these supreme dao treasures and accumulate enough contributions."
"Indeed. The Eastern Sea Daoist Palace has always had a good reputation. I had a fellow daoist who entered the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace and was treated very well. He's now a sky immortal, and we still keep in touch. Now, I want to join the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace as well."
"Also, rumor has it that the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace has an old palace lord whose strength has reached the Sage Realm. I think the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace is a good choice. All these years, I've been wandering the outside world, facing all kinds of dangers and tribulations. Now that I'm a bag of old bones, it's time for me to find a place to settle down. I'll choose the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace. A fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in." An old man let out a long sigh, which resonated with the hearts of countless experts of the older generation. This old man was already half a step into the sky immortal realm, and his strength was extraordinary.
"Hehe, Wanderer Qingyuan, it's great that you came to the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace. After I bid for the Jade Dragon Immortal Treasure Set, you can keep it with you for a while. If there's a better one, you can exchange it." The man was very generous and knew how to win people's hearts.
"140 billion." Another great power immediately made a bid.
"160 billion!" The Eastern Sea Daoist Palace made another strong counterattack.
"170 billion …" Another great power of the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace made a bid.
"200 billion." The voice from the VIP room of the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace was still very calm, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with the price. Many great powers were already struggling to breathe. The Eastern Sea Daoist Palace was too rich, and there was no way they could compete with it. However, there were still many things to buy, so many great powers gave up one after another. In the end, the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace won the Jade Dragon Immortal Treasure Set for 200 billion.
Not long after, one of the Jade Dragon Immortal Treasure Sets fell into the hands of Daoist Qingyuan. An Elder Token of the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace floated above his head, manifesting all kinds of surging and majestic Eastern Sea Daoist Qingyuan. Daoist Qingyuan naturally knew the rules, so he infused a drop of his natal essence into the token and put it away. A supreme immortal treasure set was now in his hands!
Many people were filled with envy and jealousy, and all of them wanted to join the East Sea Daoist Palace. However, these people were all people of status and power. Although some were tempted, they couldn't bring themselves to join the East Sea Daoist Palace for a set of supreme immortal treasures. That would be too obvious, so they were very reserved. There were also a few half-step Earth Immortals and Earth Immortals who didn't care about their pride and joined the East Sea Daoist Palace, and all of them received superior-grade immortal treasures.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan sneered.
"The Eastern Sea Daoist Palace is quite good at buying people's hearts. How can there be so many free things in the world? I'm afraid the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace wants to rely on these people to risk their lives for them in the tomb robbing."
A look of surprise flashed in Bai Peony's eyes.
"This kid actually hit the nail on the head with one sentence."
"I guess the Eastern Sea Daoist Palace is really something. In this world, people die for wealth, and birds die for death. Isn't the purpose of a cultivator's life to live longer?" Peng Fei didn't seem to care.
"Living is more important than anything else. Worldly possessions are dispensable. It's not worth it to lose your life for them. The Sea Burial Tomb is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid these people will only be cannon fodder when the day comes," Xuanyuan said flatly.
