The Puppet Sect is extrely wealthy, extraordinarily so, and all the cultivators of the Thunder God Temple are green with envy, but unfortunately, they can’t beat them.
"Oh my heavens, it’s actually a pauper from the Thunder God Temple, I guess I’ll have to sleep with one eye open tonight." Qian Yuanbao let out a sharp cry.
Lei Batian’s old face turned black, clenching his fists angrily, with strands of thunder beginning to emanate from him, seemingly ready for a brawl.
"We’re all old acquaintances; no need to get so worked up just upon eting." Mu Xifeng said with a smile, trying to diate.
"Xifeng is right, I won’t fuss with you." Lei Batian said, tossing his head as he walked away.
Encased inside the Iron Man, Qian Yuanbao’s eyes flickered for a mont, and he snorted coldly in his heart: "Thunder God Temple is indeed a bit restless!"
........
Apart from the Three Sects, other small sects and cultivation families began to converge toward the newly built city of Five Luminaries by the Five Elents Sect.
For a ti, Five Luminaries City was bustling with people, and all the inns and restaurants built within the city were full of patrons. Many loose cultivators had to spend the night outdoors; fortunately, the Five Elents Sect had invested heavily in protective forces, or who knows how much trouble might have arisen during this period.
Treehouse
The warm sunlight shone upon him, and on Chen Jiuge’s weathered face appeared a genuine smile: "Finally, it’s over at last."
Ten years, a full ten years of locking himself in the fifth layer of the treehouse, tirelessly nurturing Spiritual Beasts day and night, even a life-span-endless immortal would have monts of ntal fatigue.
"Disciple, how are the preparations going?" Lou Boxuan, who had not been seen for a long ti, stood smiling in front of Chen Jiuge.
Chen Jiuge was shaken and was about to complain to his master when he sensed a creepy sense of danger as he approached: "Master?"
Lou Boxuan stepped back a few steps with so apology and helplessly said: "The process of breakthrough was sowhat unsuccessful, the power couldn’t fully retract, I’m just here to check on you this ti, I still have to go into seclusion to consolidate it, it might take a few more years."
"Master, you’ve beco a Golden Immortal?" Chen Jiuge asked excitedly.
"Yes." Lou Boxuan replied full of smiles.
"Alright, enough nonsense, the auction is about to start, dear grand-disciple, has your Spiritual Beast been nurtured well, let see." Shen Boyi, who always appeared out of nowhere, interrupted their chatter.
"Naturally." Chen Jiuge confidently handed over the Spiritual Beast Bag in his hand.
The past ten years hadn’t been in vain, the Spiritual Beasts prepared for Shen Boyi were generally of high quality, with a few being even more precious and powerful than those at the previous auction. However, the best ones and the slightly lesser ones, as well as other Spiritual Beasts of the sa level, were mostly privately kept by Chen Jiuge.
"I only withheld eighty percent, it shouldn’t be a big deal, right?" Chen Jiuge thought nervously.
"You... you..."
Looking at Shen Boyi, whose face was full of red excitent, Chen Jiuge awkwardly said: "Master Ancestor, is it not okay?"
"It’s fantastic!" Shen Boyi laughed heartily, patted Chen Jiuge on the shoulder, and praised: "As expected of my grand-disciple, good job."
"Let’s go, Master Ancestor will take you to watch the excitent!" Perhaps feeling that he had ignored his disciple, Shen Boyi turned to Lou Boxuan and said: "Disciple, you can’t contain your aura well, this ti you won’t be able to join in the fun, ti to go into seclusion, by then I’ll upgrade your Lifebound Magical Artifact for you."
Lou Boxuan chuckled: "Then thank you, Master, for your kindness."
Watching the two of them leave by breaking through the void, Lou Boxuan slightly frowned and said: "I’ve only been in seclusion for a few years, but there seems to have been a lot of incredible things happening!"
Five Luminaries City, Five Luminaries Auction House.
The Five Luminaries Auction House, made entirely of a block of Innate Five Elents Gold Essence, constantly inhaled and exhaled vast amounts of Five Elents Spiritual Energy, with nurous liquefied spiritual energies flowing into the underground along the arrays around the auction house, enhancing the foundation of Five Luminaries City.
The Fairy Beast and the golden toad that Chen Jiuge used in the last auction were invited by the Five Luminaries Auction House to greet the guests.
These two magical Spiritual Beasts made all the participating cultivators stare in awe, as they turned out to be never-before-seen mutant Spiritual Beasts!
Mu Xifeng’s Divine Sense swept over the Fairy Beast and the golden toad inside and out, frowning slightly: "A new species, I wonder what its purpose is. Maybe we should ask the Five Elents Sect to buy a batch, perhaps we can develop new elixirs."
Lei Batian’s eyes flickered constantly: "This Fairy Beast truly looks alluring, such a Spiritual Beast should rightfully belong to my Thunder God Temple!"
Puppet Sect’s Qian Yuanbao was rather indifferent. Compared to using Spiritual Beasts for battle, the Puppet Sect preferred using puppets; Spiritual Beasts were just pets to them.
The ground was laid with fiery Fire Elent Warm Jade, the boundless fire energy, after being regulated by the Great Array, kept the temperature within the auction house at its most comfortable level, with many well-shaped and beautiful Five Elents Sect Outer Disciples bustling around it.
At the top, thousands of ters high, five Spirit Lamps hang, emitting a gentle glow, clearing the minds of the cultivators.
The Three Sects and so powerful cultivators naturally went to the rooms on the upper level, while loose cultivators and so small families could only find a seat in the hall.
"Fellow Daoists, it’s an honor for everyone to participate in our Five Elents Sect’s auction. I am Shuibing, the host of this auction."
With an Innate Seductive Body, Shuibing, exuding charm at all tis, began alluringly. Her soft and boneless hand picked up a delicate little hamr, gently knocking it on the auction stand, and the crisp sound penetrated everyone’s ears.
"Now the auction officially begins. Let’s auction our first item, the Fire Phoenix Bow!"
"Fire Phoenix Bow, a Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapon, crafted by our Five Elents Sect Elder, containing a trace of the Fire Phoenix’s essence. Its fired arrows possess the power of the Fire Phoenix, greatly restraining vicious and evil things."
"Starting price is three thousand Divine Crystals, with each increase not less than one hundred."
Seventh Revolutions Immortal Weapons are generally used by Heavenly Immortals. Although very valuable, for the representatives from the Three Sects, such items are still slightly lacking.
"Shen Boyi, is this all your grand auction house has to show ?" Lei Batian said disdainfully.
"Hehe, isn’t it just the beginning?" Shen Boyi wasn’t angry, as the Spiritual Beast previously sent by Chen Jiuge was too shocking.
In the private room, Mu Xifeng was also a bit disappointed: "I thought there would be sothing good, it seems like only the Wood God Liquid has a bit of attraction this ti."
For Golden Immortal big shots, the Fire Phoenix Bow is quite ordinary, but for other cultivators, it’s different. In the end, the Fire Phoenix Bow was taken by a little-known family for eight thousand Divine Crystals.
Shuibing looked at the atmosphere below with a bright smile: "Are you all very disappointed?"
"But I believe the second item won’t let you down!"
She took two steps back, and a huge figure appeared on the auction stage.
"Its body resembles an ape, arms covered in patterns, a tail like a leopard’s. It’s best at throwing. Everyone should know what Spiritual Beast this is, right? That’s right, it’s the legendary Mountain and Sea Strange Beast, Ju Fu!"
"How is it possible? Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts went extinct countless epochs ago. How could they still appear?" An elder in the hall said in shock.
"Not entirely extinct, it’s just that so few Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts survive in the True Realm now." Soone explained in the private room.
"But most exist in the Demon Domain, you can’t see them elsewhere, could it be that Five Elents Sect found a small world where Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts exist?"
"It’s not impossible."
In the dicine King Valley’s private room, Mu Xifeng was also stunned: "So it’s a Mountain and Sea Strange Beast, but Ju Fu seems to be just an ordinary Exotic Beast. Still, it’s very rare, I wonder what dicinal properties this Exotic Beast has."
"Master, is this the Mountain and Sea Strange Beast? It looks so ugly!" Mu Xinyan said disdainfully.
"How can you Immortal Pill Masters judge based on appearances?" Mu Xifeng licked her rosy lips.
Thunder God Temple’s private room
Lei Batian had his brows tightly furrowed. As a Refining Body Barbarian, their intelligence has never been high, and the external speculations made Lei Batian uneasy. If the Five Elents Sect really found a small world with many Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts, the situation would be problematic.
dicine King Valley and Puppet Sect would definitely fully ally with the Five Elents Sect, and the idea of Thunder God Temple swallowing the Five Elents Sect would have to be buried deep.
Puppet Sect’s private room
"Interesting, it’s actually a Mountain and Sea Strange Beast. Although just an ordinary Exotic Beast among them, it still must be taken." Qian Yuanbao said softly.
"Father, Elder Mu Xifeng of dicine King Valley should also want it very much." A behind him said.
"Rest assured, in terms of wealth, no one can match my Puppet Sect!" Qian Yuanbao said proudly.
Five Elents Sect’s private room
Shen Boyi was drinking Five Elents Spirit Tea, laughing: "Disciple Grandson, just an ordinary Mountain and Sea Strange Beast, yet the people from dicine King Valley and Puppet Sect are going mad."
Chen Jiuge was sowhat confused: "Why? Although Ju Fu’s potential is good, it doesn’t even rank in the top ten among the Spiritual Beasts I gave to Master Ancestor."
Shen Boyi sighed: "Rarity makes it precious, Mountain and Sea Strange Beasts, they’ve been Spiritual Beasts from very, very long ago."
