"That's true …"
Mingshi Tang and the other Ancient Sages fell silent.
Zhang Hongtian's words were blatant, but it was the truth.
Rules and agreements? It was fine if it was just a small scuffle, but when it came to the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, who could care less about it?
Given that there was only a single slot for the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and the Beast Tribe, they had not argued too much about it. Did they really think that they had given up on this treasure?
As long as someone entered the hall, they would be able to learn what was going on inside. With that, they would be able to find out who was in possession of the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn. As soon as they left the hall, the Ancient Sages standing guard outside would make a move!
By then, Sempiternal realm cultivators would no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Master Teacher Continent. Only Ancient Sages would have a say in the matter!
"Let's allocate the slots first!"
Fearing that such words would cause panic, the Ancient Sages sent telepathic messages to one another.
"These slots were obtained by Zhang Xuan through his own efforts, so we'll respect his decision on how they will be distributed!"
"En!"
Everyone nodded simultaneously.
As an Ancient Sage, it would be embarrassing for him to insist on it if he did not contribute anything to the Master Teacher Continent at all.
…
"Teacher, we are unable to contact Zheng Yang and the others for the time being. However, according to our friends who have met them, they seem to have obtained some kind of fortuitous encounter, and they're currently in some Lesser Worlds, unable to leave. It's likely that they won't be able to enter the Prime Hall anymore!"
Paying no heed to the Ancient Sages' discussion, Zhao Ya walked over to Zhang Xuan's side.
As the court chief of the Glacier Plain Court, even if she was unable to contact Zheng Yang and the others, she should at least have some connections.
After all, these junior brothers and sisters of hers were no longer nameless figures, and they were all big shots of an area.
"Can't come?" Zhang Xuan frowned for a moment before waving his hands dismissively. "Forget it. If there really is a fortuitous encounter, I can't possibly leave them out. It doesn't matter whether they enter or not …"
Take the Bodhi Fruit for example. Yuan Tao had never entered the sleeping chamber, but he still gave it to him.
Therefore, it didn't matter if the disciples had the chance to enter or not. As long as they obtained it, they would definitely get a share.
"Teacher, I'm not going in either. My physical body has already reached the level of an Ancient Sage, and I tried it earlier, but even with the protection of the Prime Amulet, I was still rejected by the seal!"
Yuan Tao walked forward.
"This …" Zhang Xuan frowned.
Even though Zhang Xuan's student had failed to push for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage, he did possess the body of an Ancient Sage, granting him the strength of a Half-Ancient Sage.
"Me, Lozosy, Zhao Ya, Wei Ruyan, Luo Qiqi … Together with Mingshi Tang, there are seven of us …"
Zhang Xuan calculated in his mind. "If that's the case, there are still four places left …"
Rubbing his glabella, he glanced at Mingshi Tang and the others before shaking his head.
It wasn't that he was looking down on these geniuses, but that there wasn't much use in giving them the slots. It would be a waste no matter how many slots he gave them.
"What do you think? Have you decided on a candidate? "
Seeing that Ancient Sage Yan Qing was still unable to come up with a candidate despite the long period of contemplation, Ancient Sage Yan Qing asked.
"Yes … However, with so many slots, I feel that it would be a waste for us to take them all. Let's take out four slots for auction! All three of you can buy it. The highest bidder wins. What do you think? "
With a smile, Zhang Xuan raised his head.
"Auction the slots?"
"Is that fellow out of his mind? Everyone else is vying for it, but he thinks that there are too many of them? "
"Are you for real?"
A huge commotion broke out in the surroundings.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Not only the Ancient Sages of the three powers, even those on Mingshi Tang's side, Zhang Hongtian, and the others felt light-headed.
It wasn't easy for them to obtain so many slots, and this was a golden opportunity for them to auction it off …
Was it really a good idea to do so?
"What he's doing …"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, an Ancient Sage tried to persuade Zhang Xuan against it.
"Senior must have his own reasons for doing so," Yang shi said. "Let's just trust him!"
"Senior?"
The Ancient Sages turned their gazes over.
They had seen Yang Xuan before when they were still conscious. He was the most talented individual in the past several hundred years, and he had even managed to become an Ancient Sage. For him to address that Aureate Body realm lad as his senior …
"Indeed."
Yang shi nodded. Using his will to isolate the surroundings, he sent a telepathic message over. "To be honest, his identity is a little unique. Even though I'm an Ancient Sage, it's still an honor for me to become his junior. However, I can't talk about this matter in detail for the time being. I'll explain it to you once the matter at the Temple of Confucius is over! "
"Unique?"
The Ancient Sages were perplexed.
Just what could be so unique that even an Ancient Sage would feel honored?
However, seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk about it, they could only suppress their curiosity and choose to trust Yang Xuan.
"You intend to auction it off?"
At this moment, Ancient Sage Yan Qing and the others finally recovered from their shock.
"That's right. Too many slots isn't a good thing for us either. If we do that, it'll easily incur the jealousy and hatred of others. So, I intend to auction off four slots. As long as you offer the highest price, you'll be able to get it! "
Zhang Xuan said with a smile.
"Name your price!"
"Our Beast Tribe is determined to get the slots!"
Hearing that they were willing to auction off the slots, the Ancient Sages of the three powers glanced at one another before nodding in agreement.
Even though the final fight was still in their hands, it was still better to have one more person enter the Beast Tribe.
If their descendants really managed to obtain the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, they would be able to escape as soon as they came out.
Even though it was difficult for an Ancient Sage to kill a cultivator, escaping was still a walk in the park.
Thus, the more juniors that entered the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn, the higher their chances were.
"I'll be auctioning off the first slot now. It's worth … twenty, thirty, ah, fifty droplets of Ancient Sage blood!"
Zhang Xuan said as he stretched out his hand.
Great Sage artifacts were not of much use to him, and the other party only had a few Ancient Sage artifacts. It was hard to say whether they would be able to take them out or not. Furthermore, even if they were to give him one, he would not be able to tame it with his current strength.
The reason why the Infernal Blacksaber had submitted to him was because he was only at Half-Ancient Sage when he tamed it.
Those who had reached Half-Ancient Sage realm would become unyielding. No matter how powerful he was, it would be impossible for him to tame them.
Thus, rather than asking for these flashy items, he might as well buy the blood of Ancient Sages that would be of great use to him!
It would be of great use to him when he pushed for a breakthrough to Ancient Sage in the future.
"Zhang Xuan, the blood of Ancient Sage is just a general term. There are different tiers to it, and the higher the tier, the more valuable it is …"
Before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
It was Old Ancestor Zhang Hongtian.
"There are different tiers to the blood of Ancient Sages?"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
He was still too far away from reaching Ancient Sage, so he was unaware of such matters.
"Indeed. Just like Great Sage, Ancient Sages are also divided into four tiers. The higher the tier, the more valuable the blood of the Ancient Sage. The difference between each tier is more than a hundredfold! You have to determine the tier, or else you'll be at a huge disadvantage! "
Zhang Hongtian said.
"Un," Zhang Xuan replied. Then, he asked, "May I know … what are the four tiers of Ancient Sage?"
