These results might not be entirely accurate, but for the Lin Family at present, they still counted as a considerable harvest.
With the end of the competition, whether it was the cultivators who participated or those who watched, all had witnessed a series of breathtaking contests, which could truly be considered an eye-opener.
Amidst cheers and applause, the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.
At the sa ti, a large number of cultivators congratulated those who had made it into the rankings with clasped fists, while others engaged in discussions.
Under such an atmosphere, the Lin Family kept their promise and, in front of many cultivators, awarded the prizes to those who ranked near the top.
Such forthrightness further incited the applause of the nurous cultivators.
At that mont, everyone was discussing the matter, and even those who had co just to watch were full of excitent.
...
This bustling atmosphere lasted well into the evening.
With the end of the competition, all the major arrangents for this alliance eting of the Lin Family were also duly completed.
Next up was the grand auction to be held at the Luoyun Market in a few days.
For this, the Lin Family had long spread the word, and now the news of the auction was almost universally known throughout the southern region of the Wei Kingdom.
By now, many loose cultivators and powers from other territories had sent people to participate, all converging within the Luoyun Market, waiting for the scheduled auction.
Now that the competition was thoroughly over, after today, those cultivators participating in the alliance would gradually leave the Lin Family Clan Grounds, either heading back to their families or proceeding to the Luoyun Mountain Range to attend the grand auction.
In this regard, the Lin Family did not insist, stating plainly that the cultivators from the various families were free to leave the Lin Family Clan Grounds early the next morning.
However, the upcoming auction was no small affair, rumored to feature many rare treasures, attracting the attention of a multitude of cultivators.
In fact, the Lin Family placed great importance on this auction, offering as many as five Foundation Establishnt Pills at once.
Additionally, items such as the Hun Tian Pill and other high-quality magic artifacts would make their appearance at the auction.
Moreover, it was rumored that the Lin Family would also offer a Third Order Attack Talisman as the finale of the auction.
Such a treasure could serve as the prized heirloom of a Foundation Establishing Family and could turn the tide at a critical mont, altering the course of events.
Thus, a Third Order Attack Talisman was exceedingly rare at auctions within the Cultivation World.
Even auctions held by the Zhenyang Sect or the markets under Myriad dicine Valley had seldom seen such an item.
This was because Third Order Talismans were strategic consumables, and even longstanding Golden Core Forces had very limited reserves.
And since these consumables were depleted upon use and replenishing them required considerable effort and a variety of precious materials…
…each appearance of a Third Order Talisman could spark fierce bidding wars among Foundation Establishing Families.
And now, such a precious item was to be featured at an auction held by the Lin Family.
While this news might not be entirely true, even as a rumor, it was enough to draw throngs of cultivators.
By now, the Luoyun Market had already gathered a large number of cultivators, coming from various mountain ranges throughout the central and southern Wei Kingdom, with so from the neighboring Huangyang Kingdom also hurrying to join the excitent.
As the day of the auction drew near, Luoyun Market saw its footfall begin to surge.
Then, on the next day, the thousands of cultivators who had co for the alliance bid their farewells and departed from the Lin Family Clan Grounds.
By the end of the first day after the event, more than ninety percent of the cultivators had left.
anwhile, at the Luoyun Market, those cultivators who had participated in the alliance were seen entering the market in succession.
In the days that followed, the number of people visiting Luoyun Market continued to skyrocket.
By the day before the auction was to take place, the number of attendees in Luoyun Market had more than tripled compared to two years prior.
Such a scene was unprecedented since the establishnt of Luoyun Market.
In the past, especially in recent years, the Lin Family’s rise as a Golden Core Family had already significantly boosted the market’s popularity.
Now, after the Lin Family spread the news early and promised the appearance of rare treasures, even the eyes of the Foundation Establishing Families were caught.
These people were readying their Spirit Stones, all eager to take the grand prize back to their territories.
The Lin Family seized the opportunity, smoothly carrying out the alliance eting and a series of significant activities, fully demonstrating their foundation and strength.
Now, by leveraging a grand auction, they further aid to expand the Lin Family’s influence.
With this in mind, the Lin Family dispatched several family mbers to the Luoyun Market to oversee that the auction proceeded as scheduled.

Until this day, inside the Luoyun Market.
At this mont, the crowd was surging, and a large number of cultivators had co out early to stroll around while waiting for the auction to begin.
Among these cultivators, their levels of cultivation varied, with Qi Refining Cultivators making up the majority.
However, there were also a considerable number of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, with roughly one appearing for every ten people.
Such a situation was not seen on normal days.
It should be noted that, decades ago, the simultaneous appearance of several Foundation Establishnt Cultivators in the Luoyun Market could cause quite a stir.
Even just a few years ago, despite an increase in the number of people in the Luoyun Market, the number of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators within was quite limited.
At least not like now, where you could encounter them everywhere you went.
But now, at a glance, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, and the number of cultivators in the entire market had reached a peak.
As such, the various shops, restaurants, and the squares for setting up stalls were also overcrowded with people.
Such a bustling scene ant that many shops in the Luoyun Market were doing much better business than usual.
At noon, when the sun was at its zenith.
In the city center, the Luoyun Market auction.
As the auction was about to begin, a large number of cultivators started to queue up for entry, and in just a short while, they ford a long line.
Under the scrutiny of the Lin Family mbers, cultivators entered the auction one by one.
In less than half a Shi Chen, the two main venues of the auction were already packed.
Even the Foundation Establishnt Area, whether it was the public area or the VIP rooms, was completely full.
Under everyone’s eager gaze, the auction began on ti.
Subsequently, one treasure after another was brought out, sparking a bidding war among all the cultivators.
For such a high-profile auction, the quality of the treasures was not low; each one was a rarity among rarities.
Fortunately, the Lin Family had gained a good number of treasures from conquests to the north and south over recent years, with a comprehensive variety that covered most of the items commonly used by cultivators.
Moreover, the family also owned many rare and precious treasures.
Otherwise, it would have been rather difficult to hold such a high-profile auction and bring out so many rare treasures at once under normal circumstances.
Now, the Lin Family was a far cry from its forr self, and not to ntion holding one auction of the sa scale, even ten or eight more would not overburden the family.
This ti, the Lin Family had spent such a significant cost and mobilized so many resources for the auction, so naturally, there were high expectations.
After a whole day of auctions, the results did not disappoint the Lin Family.
Following the conclusion of the auction, the family mbers quickly tallied up the results.
The auction had reaped considerable profits, with each treasure fetching a price 15 to 20 percent higher than usual.
In particular, those few marquee items, like the Foundation Establishnt Pills which each sold for an astronomical price, and the Hun Tian Pills which also sparked fierce bidding among the cultivators.
In the end, just one Hun Tian Pill alone sold for 51,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
And most eye-catching of all was a Third Order Attack Talisman.
After a tense bidding process, the Third Order Attack Talisman concluded its auction, finally selling for 140,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
Such auction results also pushed the atmosphere to the pinnacle of excitent.
As the auction ended, the lively atmosphere did not imdiately settle down.
In the following days, the flow of people in the Luoyun Market remained large, with many staying behind, so waiting for a safer ti to leave while others had ulterior motives.
In any case, the popularity of the Luoyun Market was still booming.
During this period, the reputation of the Lin Family, as well as the entire process of the alliance conference, began to spread among the cultivators.
This turn of events was precisely what the Lin Family wished to see.
Under the supervision of the Lin Family mbers, everything in the Luoyun Market continued as usual.
In the following ti, the number of cultivators gradually decreased, and the entire Cultivation World slowly returned to its usual calm.
