Soon, a Female Comrce Association Steward led a group into the private room, escorted by two Golden Core Masters to prevent any mishaps.
"I think we should let Qiu Yao wear this outfit for a while, and we can decide how to share it later. What do you all think?"
Ling Qiyue said with a radiant smile.
"Yes, that works. I have no objections."
Qin Yun agreed at once, and Ling Yuzhu and Ling Yulu followed suit.
"Then thank you all, my sisters!"
Tang Qiu Yao said gleefully.
’...These people from the Ling Family... they’re not just rich, they’re obscenely wealthy!’
In one of the private rooms, several gloomy-looking Cultivators were muttering, their Cultivation levels mostly at the True Pill and Pseudo Core realms.
’After all, they control the resources of an entire sea region. With so few people in their family, their Patriarch is bound to have deeper pockets than we do.’
A grim-faced old man said sourly.
They were all Core Formation powers from neighboring sea regions. Seeing the Ling Family spend money so lavishly, it was only natural for them to feel jealous and resentful.
The Ling Family of Changqing Continent’s power was clearly a threat to their interests, but right now, they had no effective ans of stopping them.
The auction continued. The next lot was six Foundation Establishnt Pills of rather good quality.
Only Core Formation level powers or similarly powerful Loose Cultivators could afford such an item. The low-level Loose Cultivators who needed this resource the most could only watch from the sidelines.
Next, another batch of assorted Third Grade Talismans ca up, followed by several types of Third Grade Spirit Gold Materials, and then a few Quasi Rank Three and Third Grade Combat Spirit Companions.
Ling Changqing wasn’t a big fan of Spirit Companions; he actually preferred using Daoist Soldier Puppets.
The won, however, did like pets. Each of them picked one they fancied and bid on it, and in the end, they all got what they wanted.
After that, Core Formation Resources appeared on the auction stage twice more.
"Husband, there’s really no need to bid on this. Given the Ling Family’s status as a client, it’s more economical for us to purchase Core Formation Resources privately."
Xue Qingtan said softly.
"Alright then, we won’t compete for this."
Ling Changqing nodded.
As the auction entered its second half, more and more fine items appeared, including even Quasi Rank Four Elixirs, Array Banners and Array Maps, Talismans, Spirit Companions, and Early Grade Magical Treasures.
Ling Qiyue naturally wouldn’t spare any Spirit Stones. She bid on nearly every resource that the won or the family could use.
But to avoid being targeted by other powers, she arranged for a group of the Ling Family’s Foundation Establishnt Cultivators to disguise themselves and place bids from different parts of the auction hall, diverting the attention of those who might be paying too close attention.
A little over an hour later, the auction finally drew to a close.
"...Fellow Daoists, this is the final treasure of today’s auction: the Profound Yin Water Pearl."
The golden-robed beauty lifted the multicolored brocade cloth before her, revealing an exquisite Jade Box underneath.
Inside the Jade Box was a fist-sized black pearl emitting a faint, pure radiance. A dense, watery aura filled the space, and one could faintly hear the sound of surging waves echoing in their Divine Soul.
This object originates from certain special environnts within the Deep Sea Ocean. It can only be ford after enduring a series of harsh conditions over a long period of ti and contains a vast amount of Profound Water Essence.
For a Cultivator who practices Water Attribute Cultivation Technique Divine Techniques, the efficacy of this item was irreplaceable.
If he refined this Profound Yin Water Pearl, the Supre Profound Oceanic Soft Water Technique that Ling Changqing cultivated could at least reach the Minor Success Realm, and his other Water Attribute Cultivation Technique Divine Techniques could also advance to the next level.
"We have to get this. It cannot fall into the hands of another power."
Ling Qiyue said, her expression turning serious.
Before Ling Changqing could speak, a cool yet gentle voice drifted over:
"So, you want this? I have plenty."
The door to the private room opened, and in walked Luo Qingxuan, her figure seductive and fiery, her beauty breathtaking.
Ling Changqing’s heart skipped a beat, but he had already altered his appearance. Even his Luck and Fortune had been completely shielded by Gong Ling, so he didn’t have to worry about his identity being exposed.
Luo Qingxuan’s gaze swept across the room, lingering on Ling Changqing for an instant before moving to Ling Qiyue. A trace of confusion surfaced in her beautiful, shimring eyes.
’These won before —their features, the aura they exude—sothing feels off about them. It’s as if... as if they were all cast from the sa mold.’
’What in the world is going on here?’
