With such a treasure in front of him, Lu Ye really could not refuse. He took the wooden box from Li Baxian and turned to hand it to Hua Ci. He cupped his fists and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, we will remember your kindness. Thank you very much."
Li Baxian smiled and said, "Since you've obtained a Breath Fruit, you won't get any of the benefits from the auction."
"It's only right."
Lu Ye did not desire the benefits from the auction. The value of one Breath Fruit was enough. If he wanted more, he would be ignorant.
Li Baxian looked around and said, "I will be the host of this auction. Does anyone have any objections?"
Who could have any objections? Among the people present, there might be some who were older than Li Baxian, but the older ones were not as strong as him. There was no one younger than him. He was ranked tenth on the Spirit Stream List. Last time, he fought with Yan Xing, who was ranked second, and both sides were injured. Among the people present, only Feng Yuechan could compete with him.
But everyone knew Feng Yuechan's feelings for Li Baxian. How could she tear down Li Baxian's stage?
Moreover, this was something that had been discussed before. Everyone applauded.
Li Baxian took up the role of host and said, "Now, the auction for the first Breath Fruit begins. Those who are interested, please bid!"
Feng Yuechan immediately shouted with a smile, "Pill Heart Sect, ten thousand upper grade spirit stones."
Just as she finished speaking, she was covered by another voice, "Heaven Yuan Sect, thirteen thousand."
"Green Void Sect, ten thousand upper grade spirit stones, plus five kilograms of Jade Sky Godly Iron!"
…
The scene became extremely heated. Those who bid were basically from the large sects in the core circle. They had deep foundations and rich families. The sects in the inner circle and outer circle could not be compared to them.
The foundation of a sect was not something that could be accumulated in one or two generations. It required the continuous efforts of generations. Now, among the first, second, and third rank sects in the Nine Regions, which one of them did not reach this step step by step? No one was born strong.
Most of the bids were based on high-grade spirit stones, but there were also some special natural treasures that Lu Ye had never heard of before.
As for upper grade spirit stones, he had never seen them before. Currently, all the Spirit Stones he had obtained were of the lower grade. It was said that above the lower grade was the middle grade, and above the middle grade was the upper grade. There was also an even more special type of Supreme Grade Spirit Stone.
The auction continued under this intense yet peaceful atmosphere. After rounds of bidding, the first respiration fruit was won by a large sect of the Mist province. After Li Baxian announced this, the guardian emissaries of the sect clasped their fists in the surroundings. "Thank you for letting me win!"
With a face full of smiles, he flew up and searched carefully. He plucked a Breath Fruit and took out a container to seal it.
What happened next was none of his business.
Breath Fruit after Breath Fruit was sold. This auction lasted for a full two hours. When it came to the last few Breath Fruits, Lu Ye could clearly feel that the Guardian Envoys had increased the price.
In the end, the eight people who obtained the Breath Fruit were jubilant. Those who didn't obtain it weren't that dejected either. That was because no one knew whether spending such a large price to bid for the Breath Fruit was a profit or a loss.
The only one who made a profit was the Jade Blood sect.
The Guardian Envoys all represented the sects behind them, so they obviously could not cash out their bids immediately. They still needed to return to the battlefield of the Spirit Stream and the nine provinces and report to their sects. Afterwards, the people of their sects would come forward to gather the items and distribute them.
This matter would obviously be left to the Grand Heaven alliance. They had capable people who specialised in handling matters like this. Not only were the sects represented by the Guardian Envoys sharing the profits from the auction, but there were also those who had died in battle. It was possible to say that all the sects that had taken part in the battle of the Spirit Stream this time would benefit a little. However, after splitting it evenly, the benefits would not be too great.
"Little junior brother, give the Breath Fruit to second senior sister after you bring it back. She'll deal with the flesh," Li Baxian instructed from within the crowd.
"I understand."
Li Baxian patted his shoulder. "You're growing very quickly, but you have to calm down and find some time to settle down."
"Yes."
Rumbling noises rang out from all directions as the entire continent trembled. The huge continent began to disintegrate into chess islands. The battle to defend Ling Xi had come to an end.
Lu Ye could clearly feel the scenery around him begin to distort and blur, as if it was beginning to overlap with another space.
"Fourth senior brother, senior sister Feng, take care!" Lu Ye cupped his fists.
Hua Ci stood beside him and also bowed to the two of them.
"Take care!" Li Baxian nodded.
Sounds of farewells came from all directions. Lu Ye turned his head and saw Lan Yudie, Gao Tai, and Lu Yushan. He gently waved his hand.
The distortion and overlapping of space became even more severe. When Lu Ye and Hua Ci's vision blurred, the two of them found themselves standing in the Heavenly Secret Hall of the Jade Blood Sect's encampment. The bustling crowd around them had disappeared.
There was a mechanical wolf by Hua Ci's side, and the mechanical wolf's body was filled with storage bags.
They turned their heads and looked at each other with a smile.
The battle of the Spirit Stream lasted for a month. This period of time could be said to be rich and colorful, and it was destined to be an unforgettable experience for the two of them.
"You two, you've finally returned."
A voice called out from outside the hall. Lu Ye turned his head and saw that it was Chen Yu.
Lu Ye ordered Hua Ci, "Return to the Sect first and report your safety to Sect Master and Second Senior Sister. I'll be back soon."
"En," Hua Ci nodded and used the Heavenly Secret Pillar to return to the Sect, her figure disappearing.
Lu Ye walked out and sat down on the steps outside the hall, his body and mind relaxing as he said, "If you want to wait for someone, just wait inside. Why are you always sneaking around outside?"
The encampment was always the safest place. During the battle of the Spirit Stream Encampment, Lu Ye had been tense all this time, but only now could he completely relax.
Chen Yu hurriedly said, "Jade Blood Sect has allowed us Loose Cultivators to stay in the encampment. We are already very grateful, so how could we casually set foot in an important place like the Heavenly Secret Hall?"
The Loose Cultivators were all very good, or rather, under Chen Yu's management, the Loose Cultivators were very self-aware. Even if the encampment had been empty for several decades, no Loose Cultivator dared to come and take over the place.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ye stretched his neck and asked casually. After meeting several times, they were not unfamiliar with each other, and Lu Ye had even entrusted Chen Yu with Spirit Stones to buy Spirit Pills.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I heard that the Jade Blood Sect is recruiting disciples?"
Lu Ye glanced at him and said, "You're quite well-informed."
Second Senior Sister had indeed said before that the Jade Blood Sect had not recruited any disciples in the past, as she and the Sect Master had been waiting for the Sect's name to be removed. But now that Lu Ye, Hua Ci, and the others had made this opening, they might as well make it bigger. As a Guardian, Lu Ye was qualified to recruit disciples from the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Of course, the disciples he recruited were only nominal disciples, and they would need to undergo a period of assessment before they could become official disciples.
In addition, Shui Yuan had also said that there were many Loose Cultivators who wanted to attach themselves to the Jade Blood Sect, so Lu Ye should recruit as many Loose Cultivators as possible. This was related to the future development of the Sect, and if the Sect encountered any problems, he would have some available helpers.
Before, because he had to participate in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, Lu Ye had not been in the mood to deal with these matters, but he had never thought that before he had even begun, the news would have already spread.
Obviously, it was either Kong Niu or Ruan Lingyu who had leaked the news, with the latter being more likely as the little girl liked to run to the market.
"Is that true?" Chen Yu showed a look of surprise.
"What? Do you want to join the Jade Blood Sect? "Lu Ye looked at him in surprise.
"I have such an idea, but I don't know if I will have the opportunity."
"With your Seventh-Order cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult for you to join any Sect, so why do you want to join the Jade Blood Sect?"
Chen Yu smiled bitterly, "The big Sects are actually more willing to train their disciples from the beginning, so they will have a higher degree of loyalty and recognition to their Sect. For someone like me, even if I join a Sect, I won't receive much attention. Which Sect lacks a Seventh-Order?"
This was true. The outer Sects, even Ninth-Grade Sects, had many Seventh-Order or Eighth-Order Masters, but they were rarely seen as they had all gone to the Inner Circle for life experience.
For someone like Chen Yu, he was qualified to be a Guardian of a Ninth-Grade Sect, but which Sect would trust him?
Lu Ye couldn't help but think of Dong Shu Ye.
This guy used to be the Guardian of Nine Stars Sect, but later he joined another force and became the personal guard of a Young Master of that force. How sad was that?
"I have been here since I was a Second Order, and now I am a Seventh-Order. After such a long time, I have some feelings for this place. It's not just me, but many of the rogue cultivators here are like this. We rogue cultivators don't belong to any Sect or Sect, and we don't have anyone to rely on, but because of this place, we have gathered together to form a force that relies on each other. Even if the Jade Blood Sect has never cared about us, we have already been sheltered by the Jade Blood Sect. "
With Little Gray here, which sect from the Myriad Demons Ridge would dare to provoke them with Little Gray here?
"So, I was thinking, if the Jade Blood Sect really opens its doors and accepts disciples, can they consider rogue cultivators like us first? Our talent may be worse than others, but we have more of a sense of belonging and recognition to the Jade Blood Sect. It's just that we have never dared to call ourselves disciples of the Jade Blood Sect, "Chen Yu said sincerely.
"Is this your personal opinion?"
Chen Yu shook his head, "It's not just me, there are many others who think so, and they asked me to ask about it."
Lu Ye supported his chin with one hand and rested the other on his knee, his expression relaxed as he tapped his knee lightly with his finger, "Then, do you know that the Jade Blood Sect is not an ordinary Ninth-Grade Sect? If you are branded with the Jade Blood Sect's brand, you will definitely encounter more danger than others in the future. You must have heard about what I encountered on the Golden Light Peak last time. "
Chen Yu said, "How can there be no risks on the path of cultivation? Now, we don't have any Sect's brand, but if we encounter a Master from Myriad Demon Ridge, can they spare us? We have naturally heard of Fellow Yi Ye's feat on the Golden Light Peak and admire you greatly. We rogue cultivators don't have such great ability, but if we are lucky enough to join the Jade Blood Sect, we can still defend the prestige of our Sect to the death! "
