Chapter 1246: Invitation to the Residence

ieve Tai has already told you, I have my own mission and I'm afraid I won't stay in one place for too long."“I know that, Tai said you have seasonings there that make barbecue more delicious, and two..."Master, shouldn't we take extra care of the cultivators from Yun Tian Sect"

"No, we do business by opening the doors. The highest bidder gets it. There's no need for special treatment."

"Just take a look at what they've taken pictures of, and when the auction is over, let me know."

Yes, young master!

"Go busy yourself!"

"Yes!"

The man bowed and then left the private room.

Since the Qiwu Pavilion is owned by the City Lord's Mansion, Mo Shangchen would be considered a young master. It's not surprising that he has a private room at the auction.

He came today just to meet these people from Yunteng Sect, more precisely, the red-clothed female cultivator. Because the City Lord's Mansion only found out that the red-clothed female cultivator and Yunteng Sect members had temporarily teamed up to pick Yuan Ying fruit, and then they auctioned off the extra Yuan Ying fruit, they couldn't find out anything else.

As the heir, Mo Shangchen entered this auction with ease. He planned to have a chance encounter, wanting to befriend the two rising stars. He wanted to find out why he was backlashed and take advantage of their good fortune to acquire some treasures for himself.

When the auction reached its midpoint, Ripple started bidding. She bid on everything she liked, but if the price exceeded the item's worth, she would simply give up. After all, she just didn't want it to fall into Lian Xiye's hands.

As the bidding rose, the four men's eyes held a new glint as they looked at Lian Ri. Du Yan had already approached Lian Ri's side, whispering suggestions about which items were worth bidding for. The other three cultivators occasionally glanced over at Lian Ri, their intentions unknown.

Even at this hour, Lian Xi was still composed. The plan that had flashed through his mind earlier was now becoming clearer and clearer. He knew this was his chance, and he was determined to seize it.

Just then, the orchid was brought onto the auction stage. The auctioneer had already announced the starting price, and the audience members began to bid. This time, Li Yi did not wait for the price to rise before making a bid; instead, she joined the bidding from the very beginning, showing her determination to get this spiritual herb.

As the evening wore on, and the price negotiation began, the hand hidden within her sleeve clenched into a fist. It remained so for a long while before slowly relaxing, allowing her to appear calm. She then lifted her teacup and took a sip of the spirit tea.

In the end, Lanxi Grass was taken by ripples at a price of eight thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Du Yan could only shake her head in astonishment and say:

"Elaine, my friend, this price is a bit of a loss for you."

"No, this spirit herb is useful to me so it's not a loss."

The ripples said with a faint smile.

Moments later, someone from Qiyigu Pavilion brought the items to the private room. Lianyi tossed a storage pouch to the other party. After verifying its contents, they respectfully presented the jade box containing Lanxi Grass to Lianyi. With a flick of her sleeve, Lianyi used her spiritual sense to take the item and store it in her spatial storage. The transaction was complete.

The next item on auction will also see bids from those who are interested. It's just that her bids are usually for items she either really likes or finds interesting, even if it’s late at night.

That evening, due to financial constraints, he could only watch helplessly. He felt something was strange because he sensed that everything Eileen chose seemed beneficial to him.

Finally, the Yùan Yīng Guos they sent were brought onto the auction stage. The four disciples of Yuntian Sect in the private room watched intently, hoping the fruit would fetch a good price.

The Ultimate Nascent Infant Fruit was finally sold for a price of nine thousand mid-grade spirit stones. This made everyone's faces light up with joy, mainly because the two big shots in the third floor private room were preparing Nascent Infant Pills for their juniors, so they went all out on the price. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fetched such a high price.

Du Yan's eyes flashed, and she already had a plan in mind. She found an excuse to go out for a while and didn't return until the auction was over.

"Dao Friend Du, why did it take you so long You missed the auction for Ding Yan Dan."

Ripple smiled and said.

She naturally knew what the other party was up to. Taking advantage of the situation, Du Yan sold her privately stashed Yuan Ying fruit to the big shot who hadn't been able to bid for it at the same auction price.

For safety, she asked Wujue to act as a middleman. Although she paid a hundred mid-grade spirit stones as an intermediary fee, she personally got over eight thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Her storage pouch was bulging. At this moment, she was feeling complacent and it was because of this that she wasted time.

Du Yan listened to the ripples and waved her hand, saying:

“Don't mention it, I just wanted to ask if Qi Wuge here takes alchemy commissions. I want to get my hands on the Yuan Ying Pill as soon as possible. As a result, I was harassed by a male cultivator, which was very annoying. It took me time to get rid of him before I came back.”

Du Yan casually made up an excuse.

"It's normal for Du Dao-you to have admirers since she is a beauty."

"Where can compare to Dao You, I estimate the other party is here to inquire about our details. After taking the spirit stones, it's best for us to leave quickly."

Du Yan intentionally said.

"Let's go pay first."

At nightfall, Lianxi immediately stood up. He was also worried about being targeted at the auction.

After each of the five people received their share of spirit stones, they left from the back door of the Qiwu Pavilion.

"Fellow cultivators of Yunteng Sect, our temporary team's mission has been accomplished. Hopefully, we can cooperate again in the future."

The ripples directly offered their resignation.

Upon hearing this, Lian Xi felt a pang of anxiety. Many things he had his eyes on were now in Eileen's possession. If they parted ways now, it would be difficult to encounter them again in the future.

Before he could think of a suitable excuse, he saw a familiar figure. The other party seemed to have just noticed them too, and greeted them with a smile:

"Greetings, fellow cultivators! How were your harvests at the auction today I didn't see you at the auction grounds."

Mo Shangchen intentionally said.

"It turns out you're a fellow traveler from the road. Our harvest today is quite good. There were many people attending the auction today, and we didn't notice you."

That evening, she immediately laughed and said.

"It's fine, since we've met now it seems fate has brought us together. Why don't you come to my manor for a while I have something I want to discuss with you."

Mo Shangchen issued an invitation.

"That...we're all fine, it's just that Eileen..."

Lian Xiye intentionally glanced at Lian Yi before saying half a sentence and leaving the other half unspoken.

Mo Shangchen looked at Lian Yi with a smile and said:

"My esteemed friends, would you be so kind as to grace me with your presence at my humble abode for a brief respite I have something delightful to share with all of you."

The ripples pretended to hesitate, as if she didn't want to ruin Mo Shangchen's face. Finally, she nodded. A group of people then followed Mo Shangchen to the City Lord's Mansion.

After several people entered Lord Mayor's Mansion and Mo Shangchen's courtyard, they immediately felt that the spiritual energy here was much more concentrated than their rented small courtyard.

Even the servants in the Lord's Manor had the cultivation of Qi Refinement. After consuming the spiritual fruit and tea, they politely withdrew.

On the roadside, dust followed by his hand he opened the forbidden door and said straightforwardly:

I made some friends instantly, so I want to invite a few of them to go with me to explore the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Upon hearing of the cave abode of a celestial cultivator, several people's eyes lit up, but then some frowned.

After thinking about it all night, Lian Xi finally bowed.

"Friend on the road, you are the son of the City Lord's mansion, surely many people would be willing to accompany you to explore the powerful cave dwelling. Why seek us outsiders"

Ripple, upon hearing this, smirked. She thought this son of luck was still somewhat intelligent; at least he knew how to protect himself from being used as cannon fodder. So she happily remained silent, wanting to see what Mo Shangchen would say.rnight, and..."After saying that, Zi Jiang sighed and continued,And some fragments were missing from the seal.They were pleased with their open and transparent approach."I have three fragments here.
