Upon hearing that the elder from the auction house ca to visit, Ye Qiu was genuinely surprised, pondering in his heart if the auction house wanted him to concoct a divine pill for auction?
The divine pill he crafted at the alchemy conference was still on him, yet to be consud.
In the future, Dan Shen Sect and the auction house would have nurous collaborations. Now that the person had arrived at the mountain gate, Ye Qiu had no choice but to et him, as he also wanted to understand the visitor’s purpose.
Ye Qiu opened the grand formation, personally went forward, and invited the elder into the valley. To Ye Qiu’s surprise, there was another elder behind the auction house elder. The auction house elder appeared very respectful in front of him, which made Ye Qiu feel that their arrival was probably related to this unknown elder.
"Apologies for the disturbance, Sect Leader Ye," the elder from the auction house greeted.
"Not at all, your presence at our Dan Shen Sect truly honors us," Ye Qiu replied courteously.
The auction house elder observed the construction within Dan Shen Sect’s valley, which had drastically changed and was full of vitality, especially the spiritual energy concentration inside the valley was much higher than outside, secretly astonishing him.
The auction house elder didn’t beat around the bush and introduced the elder behind him: "Sect Leader Ye, this is the real person in charge of our auction house in Qingfeng County, Master Cang. His visit here is entirely his idea."
"Greetings, Master Cang," Ye Qiu greeted.
Master Cang’s strength wasn’t extraordinarily high, yet not low either, being in the Divinity Transformation Realm. However, Ye Qiu could sense that the other’s depth in this realm was much more profound, significantly longer than his recent breakthrough.
"I witnessed Sect Leader Ye’s performance at the alchemy conference with my own eyes. You truly deserve to lead a sect with such exceptional alchemy skills; no one in the entire Qingfeng County is more fitting than you," said Master Cang.
"Master Cang flatters . My performance at the alchemy conference was above average. Even if I give my all next ti, I might not be able to concoct a divine-grade pill; I was just lucky," replied Ye Qiu.
"Sect Leader Ye is too modest. Anyone with perception can see your alchemy skill is at the top here in Qingfeng County, so spare the humility," said Master Cang.
"Very well, I’ll accept Master Cang’s praise then." Ye Qiu saw that if he didn’t accept, the other would continue praising him.
After so casual conversation, Master Cang stopped beating around the bush, his face a bit more serious, and said, "Sect Leader Ye, the real reason for my visit is to discuss sothing with you."
Here it cos.
Ye Qiu’s heart stirred; finally, they began discussing the true purpose. Ye Qiu extended his hand, "Please continue, Master Cang."
Master Cang pondered for a mont and said, "I hope Sect Leader Ye can join our auction house."
Join the auction house?
Ye Qiu was montarily stunned. He, the sect leader of Dan Shen Sect, joining an auction house, what would that an, abandoning Dan Shen Sect?
Seeing Ye Qiu’s complicated expression, Master Cang realized he might have been too blunt and hadn’t explained clearly enough, so he continued, "Don’t misunderstand, Sect Leader Ye. My intention is not for you to abandon everything to join us. I hope you can join the auction house as the sect leader of Dan Shen Sect."
Ye Qiu was still puzzled, unclear about the other party’s intent.
Predicting Ye Qiu’s confusion, Master Cang wasn’t in a hurry and continued, "To explain simply, our auction house is a vast organization, with branches across the Origin Continent, always having a presence here and there."
"However, the current situation is special, and the auction house isn’t a monolithic entity. I’m in charge of managing the auction house in Qingfeng County, and my branch is under threat. If the auction house under my charge can’t prove its worth, it might be dismantled, making redundant. So, I hope Sect Leader Ye can join our auction house."
Ye Qiu frowned. Joining the auction house seed like entering a swirling vortex, offering him no benefits.
"Rest assured, Sect Leader Ye, if you agree, our auction house will always be your ally in Qingfeng County. I know you have always wanted to revive Dan Shen Sect. If you beco one of us, we will surely support you, helping Dan Shen Sect relieve the pressure from the three main sects. As I know, there are at least three Saints among the three main sects. If they act, even with your exceptional alchemy skills, you can’t fend off three Saints combined."
"Moreover, if Sect Leader Ye agrees, you can purchase items from our auction house at base prices and sell pills at the highest prices we offer."
"All I’m asking is for you to help demonstrate the worth of the auction house in Qingfeng County. With a powerful alchemist like you here, no one above will remove from my position as Master Cang. It’s mutually beneficial, for strengthening both parties. Would Sect Leader Ye consider this seriously?" Master Cang proposed.
Master Cang explained the situation thoroughly, detailing the benefits. From every angle, it was more advantageous than detrintal. For Dan Shen Sect, it couldn’t be better, gaining a powerful ally in the auction house, which holds significant sway in Qingfeng County, even the three main sects must show respect.
"I agree." Ye Qiu directly gave an answer.
His swift reply even surprised Master Cang slightly, followed by delight. Having an alchemist capable of concocting divine pills join the auction house would beco his greatest asset. Once Ye Qiu showcased his strength, doubters would instantly be silenced.
The auction house elder was also pleased.
"Great! Sect Leader Ye is indeed straightforward. Here is the token of our auction house. From now on, coming to the auction house is like returning to your own ho. Since you’ve agreed, I will inform the others, and we shall discuss the details another day." Master Cang handed a golden token to Ye Qiu, with the word ’order’ inscribed on it, engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns.
Ye Qiu escorted Master Cang out of Dan Shen Sect and slowly walked back into the valley.
Subsequently, Ye Qiu inford Jin Xiaoshun and Hua Wuji about becoming a mber of the auction house, leaving both of them stunned.
"Sect Leader, did you really agree?" Jin Xiaoshun asked.
Ye Qiu nodded, "Indeed, for Dan Shen Sect right now, it’s like receiving help in a snowstorm. Even if it’s like courting a tiger, it’s worth it."
"Sect Leader, this auction house has always been mysterious. Their active invitation may not bode well for you," Hua Wuji expressed his worry.
"They only seek my alchemy skills. If showcasing my alchemy skills can help Dan Shen Sect gain a powerful ally, I believe it’s worth it. Besides, having the auction house as an ally benefits Dan Shen Sect trendously. Though the three major sects appear calm now, they’re still deliberating how to deal with Dan Shen Sect, hence the calm surface. Once they act against Dan Shen Sect, we alone may struggle to resist," Ye Qiu stated seriously.
Regarding Dan Shen Sect’s current standing in Qingfeng County, Ye Qiu, as the sect leader, understood clearly. The three major sects hardly sending anyone was quite telling, possibly signaling the calm before the storm.
Now that the auction house presented a favorable card, Ye Qiu intended to seize it tightly.
