Xiao Lingyu discussed with his wives again. Anya and the others didn't seem to care about whether or not they should form a small force. They expressed their disinterest —
No matter what decision you make, we'll support you!
To put it bluntly, what his wives meant was … you decide for yourself!
Xiao Lingyu finally understood the helplessness and depression of being the head of a family.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Lingyu had a plan. He felt that he should indeed form a force.
Right now, Worriless mainly relied on Big Sister Gu and the Howling Celestial Dog. However, these two Astral Realm experts weren't very close to him, so they couldn't always follow him. Once they left, his family definitely wouldn't be as comfortable as they were now.
The Howling Celestial Dog had clearly stated that once it completed its mission, it would go to the Ancient Star Road to find its original owner.
Although Big Sister Gu didn't say it clearly, Xiao Lingyu could guess that if she refined and consumed the Star Sky Pill, she would most likely go to the Ancient Star Road to find her husband after reaching the Star Shifting Realm.
Thus, Xiao Lingyu discussed with Miling again.
"You can decide on this matter. If you need me, I won't refuse," Miling said sincerely.
"With our current level, we definitely can't recruit Astral Realm experts. However, even if Astral Realm experts want to join, we wouldn't dare to accept them. Thus, I feel that we should recruit more cultivators above the Nirvana Soul Realm. We don't need too many, just enough to form a large group," Xiao Lingyu said.
"Actually, rather than recruiting a few stragglers and slowly getting used to each other, why don't we just recruit a large group that has been working together for many years? This way, we can save a lot of trouble and effort," Miling suggested.
"Then let's walk around the city and see if we can find suitable ones," Xiao Lingyu nodded.
In the next few days, Xiao Lingyu first set up the profound diagrams and formations at the cultivation areas of his family and friends to speed up their cultivation. Then, he left the courtyard with Miling and wandered around the new city.
He didn't find any suitable targets, but Xiao Lingyu received a piece of news. The Star Pavilion, Sword Pavilion, Ocean Pavilion, and Thunder Pavilion were preparing to jointly hold a grand auction in the new city. This would strengthen the communication between cultivators, and at the same time, promote the new city.
The news of the auction had already spread throughout the new city. Under the joint operation of the four peak forces, the news would quickly spread throughout the World of Immortals.
For the sake of being able to gather even more experts to attend the auction this time, the four great powers had naturally taken out numerous precious and rare treasures. Amongst the known treasures, an Astral Extreme Realm Heavenly Starbeast's Life Pearl had already caused all the Rebirth Realm cultivators in the city to covet it to the extreme, not to mention those various precious materials, medicinal pills, and magic treasures of extremely high quality and extraordinary effects.
In addition to the large amount of treasures taken out by the four peak forces, some small and medium forces and loose cultivators also took out their private stashes. Among them, there were many high grade goods.
In order to promote the auction, the auction organizers would intentionally or unintentionally reveal some information about the high grade treasures that would be auctioned, causing everyone to be incomparably excited.
Xiao Lingyu also brought the news home, but only Big Sister Gu cared about it. Xiao Lingyu's family and friends didn't have the slightest interest in this auction.
"Just in time, we can take out some treasures that are useless to us and auction them off. We should be able to exchange them for a large amount of Yang Crystals. Although we don't have much use for Yang Crystals, it would be a waste to leave those treasures at home, "Big Sister Gu said.
"The key is, with more Yang Crystals, we can also snatch some treasures that are useful to us at the auction. For example, the Heavenly Star Beast's Life Pearl," Xiao Lingyu nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Big Sister Gu and Ling 'er counted the treasures that they had obtained over the years and took out the treasures that were useless to everyone.
After counting, Big Sister Gu took the treasures to the Castellan's Mansion.
After waiting for nearly two months, Big Sister Gu finally returned. She smiled and said to everyone, "The Castellan's Treasure Appraiser was exhausted by the treasures that I brought. At first, he was pleasantly surprised when he saw so many treasures, but when I took out batch after batch of treasures and placed them in front of him for him to appraise and evaluate, he almost vomited blood."
"Haha …"
The hall was filled with laughter. Anya asked, "With so many treasures, how many Yang Crystals can we earn?"
Big Sister Gu sat down and drank a mouthful of fragrant tea. She said, "The Treasure Appraiser calculated the base price of the auction. Even if we sell all of them at the base price, we can still earn nearly a trillion Yang Crystals. Moreover, it's impossible to sell all of them at the base price. Many of the treasures in the auction are sold for double or even multiple times the price. The Castellan's Treasure Appraiser even said that we can actually hold a grand auction ourselves. According to the rules of this auction, after the treasures are evaluated, the organizer of the auction will pay 30% of the base price to the host in advance. After the auction, the remaining amount will be deducted. However, the total price of the treasures we brought this time is too high. The Castellan's Mansion can't come up with so many Yang Crystals in such a short time, so they only gave us 50 billion Yang Crystals. "
"How much is 50 billion?" Jiang Lanchang was stunned.
"A lot, a lot. Piling them up can fill up a big lake. Placing them on a plain can create a continuous mountain range," Big Sister Gu said vividly.
"We're rich! We're rich!" Jiang Lanchang clapped his hands repeatedly, looking like a money-grubber.
However, in order to maximize the effect of the auction, the auction would only start more than three thousand years later. After all, many experts were too far away from the new city. Even if they rushed over immediately after receiving the news, they would not be able to arrive in such a short time.
With nothing to do, Xiao Lingyu and Miling continued to look for suitable targets in the new city.
When the treasures were put up for auction, they would receive 30% of the base price. With so many cultivators putting up their treasures for auction, even if the four top forces were extremely rich, they were gradually overwhelmed. After all, they had countless disciples and needed a lot of Yang Crystals to maintain a large force. The amount of Yang Crystals they could take out was not a lot, and it was impossible for them to put more than half of them into an auction.
In order for the auction to proceed smoothly, the four top forces began to borrow money. What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that they would come to her house first.
Big Sister Gu was very generous. She directly lent the 50 billion Yang Crystals to the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion promised to return an additional 5 billion Yang Crystals when the time came. The interest of 10% was not low, but Big Sister Gu did not care about this little interest. She was more concerned about the favor the City Lord's Mansion owed her.
The City Lord's Mansion could not hold on so quickly because the deposit they paid to Big Sister Gu was too high. However, as long as the auction was completed smoothly, they would earn more.
With the support of 50 billion Yang Crystals, the pressure on the City Lord's Mansion was greatly reduced.
The news of the City Lord's Mansion borrowing money from the Xiao Clan somehow spread. For a time, all the cultivators in the new city were amazed by the Xiao Clan's financial resources. They did not know that the 50 billion Yang Crystals that the Xiao Clan took out were actually from the City Lord's Mansion.
Borrowing money was only one of the ways the City Lord's Mansion solved the problem. In order to gather more Yang Crystals to prepare for the auction, they had stopped giving away free land in the new city. Cultivators who wanted to live in the new city would have to buy land from their own pockets. Moreover, the price was much more expensive than before.
Cultivators who wanted to come to the new city but came late either complained and gave up on the idea of living in the new city or hardened their hearts to pay for the land. In any case, there were too many cultivators in the Immortal Realm. Even if most of the cultivators gave up, the small number of cultivators could still fill up the new city.
After all, the new city was built by the four top forces. There was absolutely no doubt about its safety. In addition, the promise of writing off the past grudges was extremely tempting for many experts who had offended the four top forces.
Xiao Lingyu and Miling strolled around the streets of the new city. However, the Xiao Clan was now very famous in the new city. The number of cultivators who came to visit them was like a school of carps crossing a river.
However, Miling said that those who took the initiative to visit him were people who wanted to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Thus, he and Xiao Lingyu insisted on trying their luck in the city and left the family to Big Sister Gu to deal with.
After searching for nearly a hundred years, Xiao Lingyu finally found a suitable target one day.
The group of cultivators that had just come out of the City Lord's Mansion numbered nearly 50. All of them were at the Nirvana Realm, and the cultivator in the lead was a true Nirvana Realm expert after the Nirvana Realm.
However, this group of cultivators had very gloomy expressions. They were marching in an orderly manner with their backs facing the City Lord's Mansion. It was likely that they had run into trouble in the City Lord's Mansion.
The entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, the streets, and even the entire city was very lively. Everywhere, there was a scene of people waving their sleeves like clouds. Xiao Lingyu followed the group of cultivators without being noticed.
"Damn it, it's just a piece of land with a radius of less than 300 feet, and they actually want 100 million Yang Crystals. Why don't they go out and rob?"
"The four top forces have joined forces to build the new city into the number one city in the immortal's mainland. It's understandable that the value of the land is high."
"Didn't they say that Nirvana Realm cultivators could get a piece of land with a radius of 10 feet? Now, it's gone!"
"We can only blame ourselves for being late."
"Now that we can't buy a piece of land in the new city, where are we going to settle down? We already have some grudges with the Lou Clan, and we just provoked the West Star Pavilion …"
"What are you afraid of? At worst, us brothers will just die together!"
"That's right. Even if we can settle down in the new city, we can't just sit there and eat until we run out. Sooner or later, we will have to go out. Sooner or later, we will have to meet the Lou Clan and provoke other forces …"
Xiao Lingyu followed them patiently and deliberately listened to the group of cultivators who were discussing in hushed whispers.
After walking through a few streets, he quickly walked to the front of the group.
"Everyone, please wait. I have a business to discuss with you." Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
