The Ling Yun of today was no longer interested in money. He didn't need it any longer.
At least in Huaxia.
In Ling Yun's mind, he hadn't spent money in a long time. Even if he did spend money, he didn't enjoy it.
Up until now, Ling Yun's Great Void Ring still had hundreds of millions of yuan in cash. They were all new banknotes, and he had never used them before.
Other than the cash, there was also a large pile of gold, gold bricks, gold bars, gold ingots, and so on. They had never been touched since.
It could be said that money was the least valuable thing in Ling Yun's Great Void Ring.
Therefore, he was completely uninterested in how much the Ling Clan's auction had earned last night and how much they had earned. He didn't even bother to ask about it and maintained an indifferent attitude.
However, not being interested in money didn't mean that he wasn't interested in making money.
That was because he didn't need it, but the Ling Family needed it!
The Ling Family needed to develop and become stronger. Everyone needed to cultivate and increase their realm. They needed a huge amount of resources, and that huge amount of resources needed an astronomical amount of money to support it.
If they didn't advance, they would fall behind.
Without a doubt, the Cultivation Auction House was the fastest and most effective way to gather resources.
Right now, there were so many people in the Ling Clan who were cultivating and needed to raise their cultivation levels. They couldn't possibly scatter them all over the world to look for spirit herbs, spirit stones, and secret realms in the wilderness, right?
Or should he rely on Ling Yun alone to find resources all over the world to support the consumption of the entire Ling Family?
That was definitely the stupidest method. Not to mention the modern Earth, even in the Cultivation World, no one would use the stupidest method to find resources instead of the best method. That was called stupidity.
Only those unaffiliated cultivators who were so poor that their pockets were even cleaner than their faces and did not have the resources to sustain their cultivation would have no choice but to brace themselves and go to those perilous and murderous secret realms, risking their lives to carry out those priceless trades.
This point could be seen from Chi Yunzi, a sword cultivator at the peak of the Gold Core Realm who came from Kunlun Realm. In a place like Kunlun Realm that was full of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he could only rely on accepting missions to earn a portion of cultivation resources …
He was so poor that Ling Yun pitied him.
One had to know that Chi Yunzi was not a rogue cultivator. He was a genius sword cultivator that the Kunlun Sword Sect had high hopes for!
From the beginning to the end, Ling Yun was very clear-headed.
He definitely did not think that the Ling Family had already ascended to the top of China. Their business was huge, their army was strong, and their wealth was rolling in like a tsunami. From now on, they could rest easy.
Because Ling Yun understood one thing.
As long as one was human, once they set foot on the path of cultivation and tasted the benefits of cultivation, they would never be able to stop.
There were thousands of reasons, but the ultimate reason could be summed up in one word: Longevity!
The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan.
This was an unchanging law in the cultivation world.
Therefore, Ling Yun placed great importance on the Ling Family's Cultivation Auction House. He wanted to create a golden signboard to ensure the Ling Family's supply of resources.
That was Ling Yun's real goal. It didn't matter how much he sold. What was important was that a top-notch auction house would eventually become a top-notch cultivation resource distribution center.
The power of the world was gathered for the needs of the Ling Family.
This way, as long as the Ling Family's auction house could operate stably, even if Ling Yun entered Kunlun or left Earth in the future, the Ling Family would still be able to continue developing and growing.
…
Ling Yun's group went straight to the fifth floor of the hotel. This was the main venue for the auction. It was nearing nine o 'clock at night, and the auction was about to start.
The layout and facilities of the entire auction venue were exactly the same as the Ye Family's auction house. It was practically a copy.
This was naturally the work of the current head of the Ye Family, Ye Tianshui. In any case, the Ye Family's auction house was no longer in business.
Ye Tianshui had even personally come to the Ling Family to talk to Ling Yue. He had decided to sell the Ye Family's auction house to the Ling Family at a shockingly low price.
It was a pity that Ling Yue had rejected his kind intentions with a smile. That was because the Ling Family's auction house, hotel, facilities, and personnel had already been prepared. They were only waiting for the opening.
Another more important reason was that the current Ling Family didn't need to rely on gifts from others to run their own family's auctions.
Ye Tianshui had no choice but to thicken his skin and settle for the next best thing. He took the initiative to come and help the Ling Family as long as Ling Yue nodded.
Ling Yue couldn't refuse Ye Tianshui's request anymore, so he let him be.
Ye Tianshui's ability was publicly acknowledged. Otherwise, why would the Ye Clan not use Ye Tian, who was more powerful, and give him the position of Clan Leader? Ye Tianshui's ability was publicly acknowledged.
Moreover, Ling Yue knew all too well what Ye Tianshui wanted.
His own daughter, Ling Xiu.
Ling Yun's spatial ring, as well as Ling Yun's recognition in his heart.
He could use this as a foundation to rebuild the relationship between the Ye Family and the Ling Family.
Ye Tianshui needed a platform with sincerity, so Ling Yue gave him this platform.
This was something that everyone was happy about. Why not?
However, Ling Yue had also said the ugly words in front of Ye Tianshui. He had given Ye Tianshui a chance, but he could only rely on himself.
This was the real reason why Ling Yun was able to meet Ye Tianshui here.
The fourth and fifth floors of the hotel were completely connected. The Ling Family was even more thorough. They didn't even need the load-bearing pillars in the middle. This was to make full use of the space in the venue and not let the pillars obstruct the vision of the bidders. They wanted to give the guests the best experience.
As for the issue of safety, Ling Yun said that he would take care of it as long as the hotel didn't collapse before he arrived.
Yes, the Yellow Springs Earth Emperor Technique that he had cultivated to great success was specialized for this.
Moreover, Ling Yun would use a formation to reinforce the entire hotel.
The huge screen in the venue, the holographic projection in the VIP room, and the computer equipment used for bidding in front of every guest were all of the highest quality and most advanced technology.
As for the auction system installed in the computer, it naturally belonged to the Ye Family. Ye Tianshui gave it away without reservation.
The only difference between the Ling Family's auction house and the Ye Family's auction house was the size of the venue.
One word, big!
The main venue of the Ling Family's auction house was three times the size of the Ye Family's. It was enough to seat three thousand people.
Another difference was that the Ling Family's auction house didn't have a warehouse to store treasures.
They were all stored in the host's spatial ring!
When Ling Yun and the rest entered the venue, the entire venue was already filled to the brim with people, but it was completely silent.
The computers in front of all the bidders had already been turned on. Everyone stared at the screen nervously, searching for their target. At the same time, they were estimating the final price in their hearts. They were also worried that they didn't have enough funds to compete with others.
There were three hosts for this auction. They were Cui Lao, Wang Chongxiao, and Li Piaoyang. At this moment, the three of them were already standing on the stage in the middle of the venue.
Ling Yun's Divine Will had already enveloped the entire venue. He noticed that at least seventy percent of the guests were cultivators. Among these two thousand people, close to twenty percent were above the Divine Realm.
There were many familiar faces. At least half of them had been seen at his father's birthday party. There was also a small portion that he had seen earlier at the Ye Family's auction.
"Ling Yun is here!"
"Oh my god, Ling Yun!"
"Aiyo, the one beside him is …"
"The Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect!"
"Sister, is that Ling Yun? He's really handsome! "
"Yeah, I thought Ling Yun wouldn't appear. I didn't expect him to come tonight. The tickets were worth it!"
…
More than twenty percent of the female cultivators seemed to have come specifically for Ling Yun. After noticing Ling Yun's arrival, they stood up at the same time and looked toward him with glowing eyes.
"Ling Yun, look here!"
Many young and bold female cultivators stood up and puffed out their chests, waving desperately at Ling Yun, afraid that he wouldn't be able to see them.
Seeing this, Ye Xingchen pursed her lips and cast a sidelong glance at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun could only smile bitterly. This was really unexpected. However, he only shrugged and said indifferently, "That's why I brought you here."
"Amazing!" Beside him, Ye Tianshui's admiration was evident in his words. He passed even with this?
Pfft!
Ye Xingchen was the first to giggle, followed by Ling Xiu and Ling Xue.
It was too beautiful to behold.
"You guys wait here."
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Yun held Ye Xingchen's hand. Both of them smiled at each other before flying down and arriving at the center of the venue.
"Everyone, please take a seat."
After standing still, Ling Yun raised his arms and gestured for everyone to sit down. After the venue quietened down, he used the Mystical Dragon Howl.
"I am Ling Yun.
"The Ling Family Auction House opened yesterday. Ling Yun would like to express his gratitude to everyone for coming to support us.
"Everyone present here is the most distinguished guest of the Ling Family. Apart from expressing my gratitude, I have a few things to say to everyone here today."
Ling Yun cupped his fists in a salute and did not waste any more time after his opening remarks.
"Because of the Ye Family, Long Family, and Heavenly Group auctions, the Ling Family's auction will be exactly the same as theirs. I believe everyone already understood this last night, so I won't go into more detail.
"What I want to say is, what are the differences?
"The guests in the VIP rooms upstairs, regardless of whether or not they can bid for the treasure they want, will automatically receive a diamond VIP card for the Ling Family's auction. From now on, all the items you bid for will be discounted by 10% according to the final settlement price after the normal discount is removed!"
Guests who could enter the VIP rooms of the Ling Family were all big customers of the Ling Family. Of course, the Ling Family had to express their gratitude.
"Apart from them, all the guests sitting in the main hall tonight will automatically receive a platinum VIP card for the Ling Family's auction. All the items auctioned tonight, after deducting the normal discount, will also enjoy a 10% discount on the final price. But please note, this is only for this one time. There will be no more after this."
"However, there's no need for all of you to feel sorry. Platinum VIPs, from now on, as long as you bid for an item, as long as you make a request, the Ling Family will provide an escort service. As long as you name a location, the Ling Family will definitely guarantee your safe return. Before that, no matter if it's you or the item you bid for, as long as there's a problem, the Ling Family will take responsibility."
"Of course, there's a small prerequisite. That is, the Ling Family will send people to escort you back and forth. You have to bear the travel expenses yourself."
Ling Yun said half-jokingly. The Ling Family would provide bodyguard service, but the travel expenses had to be paid by them.
"No problem, it's a piece of cake …"
Everyone burst into laughter when they heard that.
Who in the pugilistic world didn't have a few enemies? If they were targeted by their enemies while leaving with precious treasures, it was very likely that they would die and lose everything. The Ling Family providing an escort service was almost a hundred percent guarantee of safety. How could a small amount of travel expenses be considered as a PI?
Therefore, no one cared.
"Secondly, because the auction last night was too popular, the Ling Family's inventory was almost depleted. However, in order to satisfy everyone's needs, I specially busied myself today and rushed to make a batch of high-grade pills and talismans. I think that should be enough to satisfy most of the customers' needs.
"Therefore, in tonight's auction, other than what everyone has seen on the computer, there are also ten pairs of Youth Retaining Pills and Beauty Pills. They are all supreme-grade pills that can restore at least thirty years of youth.
"One hundred high-grade Healing Talismans. As for their effects, I wouldn't dare to say that they can revive the dead, but they are definitely life-saving items. I'm sure everyone has seen them last night, so I won't waste time demonstrating them.
"Finally, tonight's finale treasure is three spatial rings that I personally rushed to make. Each of them has a space of about ten meters in length and width. The highest bidder wins."
"Gasp …"
After hearing Ling Yun's words, all the guests in the venue took in a deep breath!
Then, the entire venue erupted!
One had to know that the best treasures sold in the Ling Family's auction last night were only a pair of Youth Retaining Pills and Beauty Pills!
Tonight, there were ten pairs!
The nearly four hundred female cultivators in the venue almost went crazy!
Thirty years of youth!
Moreover, there were a hundred life-saving Healing Talismans that could restore flesh and bones!
Of course, the most valuable treasures tonight were still the three spatial rings.
"Everyone, quiet down, quiet down!"
Ling Yun used the Mystical Dragon Howl once again, forcefully suppressing the noise in the crowd. Then, he smiled and said, "Tonight's auction is the main event. That's all I have to say about matters related to the auction. I won't delay everyone's time to buy treasures."
"However, I would like to take this opportunity to say something to everyone present."
He held Ye Xingchen's hand and smiled. "The Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, Ye Xingchen.
"From this moment onward, if anyone harbors enmity toward her or even thinks of eliminating demons, I don't care who they are or which force they belong to, they will be killed without mercy."
Ling Yun said these words casually, but anyone who knew Ling Yun would know the weight of his words!
The Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect, Ye Xingchen, would no longer have to hide. She would walk in the world openly, and no one would dare to see her as an enemy!
Of course, that was excluding those who were not afraid of death.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Suddenly, a dazzling light shone in front of Ling Yun!
Ten pairs of supreme-grade spiritual pills shone brightly.
A hundred Healing Talismans.
Three spatial rings.
They appeared in front of Ling Yun without warning and floated for a moment. When everyone could see them clearly, they floated toward Cui Lao.
Cui Lao waved his hand and put them away.
"I still have important matters to attend to tonight, so I won't be accompanying everyone here. I hope everyone will be able to bid for the treasures they want tonight. Goodbye. "
Ling Yun cupped his fists again. Before he finished his sentence, he and Ye Xingchen disappeared on the spot.
