My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 936 278: The Auction (Part 2)

They have scarcely heard of it.

The Imperial Concubine and Sun Buqi almost never ntioned it, as if there had never been a mother since childhood.

Chen Sansi took out two tokens from the storage bag, one was the jade flute left by his fourth senior brother, Fang Qingyun, to be passed on to Jiang Xianzi of the Qingxu Sect.

The other was a jade pendant left by his master, which seed to be an incomplete Yin Yang Fish, and should have another half.

The will stated that if no Cultivation Technique could be found, take the jade pendant to the Qingxu Sect to obtain the subsequent inheritance.

"Let's talk about it then."

Chen Sansi put the items back and prepared to deal with the matters at hand first.

The sound of a wind chi rang, opening the cave mansion.

Sima Yao arrived, dusty from travel: "Your Majesty, according to your instructions, people have been selected from Sky Wall City and brought to Sky Water Continent, what are the next steps?"

With their covert movents, people from the court also arrived in succession.

"Map."

Chen Sansi spoke two words long unseen.

The detailed map of the Beiyang Dao in Sky Water Continent was spread open before him.

He scanned it briefly and selected a suitable place for ambush: "Have them lay in ambush in this canyon, set up a formation in advance, do not act rashly before I arrive."

After speaking, Chen Sansi took out several array plates and a nurous quantity of array flags.

Not only was he an Alchemist, but he was also a First-tier Array Master, with more than ten years of accumulated study of formations.

Although these formations were not of high level, their sheer quantity combined with the terrain would suffice to deal with most cultivators below Foundation Establishnt.

After all, Beiyang Dao had no sects, even if counted together, how many Foundation Establishnt cultivators could there be?

The only concern was that after making a move, swift decisions and actions were required, lest Golden Core cultivators from the main peak of Daze might be drawn over at any mont.

"Go and prepare."

"As you command!"

"..."

Soon, the day of the auction arrived.

Luoxia Manor.

This was a martial arts sect in the mortal world, considered to be of "Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch" level, but to cultivators, they were rely small fry among small fry.

This auction was led by the Young City Lord of Ronghua City, "Jiang Li", and was open only to the Daoist circles. Without an invitation or acquaintance's guarantee, one couldn't attend.

The items for auction were said to include many dubious and evil paths, as well as nurous rare items, various seeds, spirit plants, magic artifacts, etc.

Chen Sansi was indeed a bit interested.

The court's resources were scarce, and it was ti to gather so.

The so-called seizing of cities and territories was essentially for resources.

However, after making a move, they might not be able to hold this place.

People from the Demon Slaying Sect also arrived punctually and managed to secure several slots.

Chen Sansi found Qin Tao and entrusted him with helping him get inside.

"Daoist Zhang."

Qin Tao found an elderly cultivator with a goatee and introduced: "This is Senior Lin Fan, a relative from Ancestor's line in Canghaidao, passing through to visit , and upon hearing about the auction, wanted to participate too."

"You little rascal."

The cultivator surnad Zhang looked up and down at the other person, surprised: "You actually know a Foundation Establishnt senior?! With such connections, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Hehe~"

Qin Tao replied awkwardly: "My qualification is too poor, and besides, he's a distant relative, so if he could look after a bit, I would consider myself lucky; how could I dare boast about this?"

"Greetings, Senior Lin!"

The cultivator surnad Zhang respectfully saluted the Foundation Establishnt cultivator, then took out a wooden token, demonstrating his achievents: "This auction was originally not open to strangers, but since it's for Qin Tao's senior, there's nothing more to say!"

As loose cultivators refining Qi, if they could establish good relations with a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, others would also respect them threefold.

"Is that so? Then I must truly thank the Daoist for this."

Chen Sansi said, tossing over a bottle of elixir pills.

"Oh my, oh my, senior is indeed too courteous!"

The cultivator surnad Zhang, overwheld with flattery: "Let inform you, senior, that this auction is actually a major opportunity!"

"Oh?"

Chen Sansi probed: "What do you an by a major opportunity?"

"This..."

The cultivator surnad Zhang glanced around and whispered mysteriously, "This auction can elevate the limits of the seniors! I dare not say more specifics, but you will know soon enough!"

"Alright, thank you."

After committing the man's appearance to mory, Chen Sansi proceeded into the venue with his wooden token.

The auction venue was repurposed from a pavilion, three stories high. The hall was for displaying auction items and had scattered seating, the second floor was for Late Stage of Qi Refining cultivators, and the third floor was all private rooms.

As a Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivator, Chen Sansi naturally went to the third-floor room with Shangguan Siheng.

In the crowd, he saw a familiar face.

Zhangsun Miao.

Previously at Xiao Bamboo Peak, Chen Sansi almost fell victim to this person. The Yama Seal in Zhangsun Miao's hand, spewing Netherworld Yin Fire, was indeed powerful, even exceeding the Ten Thousand Beast Fierce Fire.

"Sothing's not right..."

His gaze swept over the crowd and quickly sensed an anomaly.

Because...

Using the Qi Observation Skill, Chen Sansi noticed the presence of the Demonic Sect's unique yin fiendish energy in the dantians of many cultivators here.

"Fellow Daoist, have you also noticed sothing's amiss?"

Shangguan Siheng said coldly, "My people have reported that there's a sche by people from the Seven Kill Sect behind this auction.

"Moreover, look, most of those who attend today's auction, regardless of their cultivation level, have so influence.

"For example, that flamboyantly dressed woman, her cultivation is only in the Late Stage of Qi Refining, but she's a Second-tier Alchemist of the Zhu Family.

"And that old man, also in Late Stage of Qi Refining, yet he is the highest-ranking mber in the Wu Family, and all the most talented descendants of their family are his offspring.

"Furthermore...

"In conclusion, they are all prominent figures in the Beiyang Dao.

"Gathering them here, it's unclear what the Seven Kill Sect aims to do."

The two spoke using a transmission technique, so they would imdiately know if soone was eavesdropping.

"Hmm."

Chen Sansi asked, "What is your sect's ultimate goal?"

"First kill, then save."

Shangguan Siheng continued, "Recently in Beiyang Dao, the number of missing boys and girls has been increasing day by day. We suspect it is the Young City Lord Jiang Li colluding with the Demonic Sect.

"So, our plan is to capture Jiang Li and then force him to reveal the location of the boys and girls."

"He's here!"

His expression shifted slightly as he fixed his gaze on a gorgeously dressed young man with a folding fan in the hall.

"This person is rely at the Late Stage of Qi Refining and only twenty steps away from us. I'm sure to capture him alive, shall we act?"

"No rush."

Chen Sansi said calmly, "Since we suspect sothing's off with the auction, why not see what they're planning first?"

"Alright."

Shangguan Siheng suppressed his impulse, "Fellow Daoist has more considerately thought this through. The Seven Kill Sect's blood sacrifice is not just empty words, plus they arranged this auction, so we indeed should clarify what's going on."

The two fell silent.

The auction soon began.

The process was quite simple, with a female cultivator standing on the stage, showcasing the auction items one by one. The cultivators bid anonymously via a transmission formation, and the highest bidder won.

The first auction item was a set of First-tier array inheritances, including as many as eight formations, both offensive and defensive.

In the Cultivation World, any inheritance is extrely precious, even a first-tier. Its market price would definitely be over two thousand Spirit Stones.

But the auction price was only one thousand Spirit Stones, causing many to go wild.

Chen Sansi placed a symbolic bid.

The second auction item was a set of Second-tier Artifact Refining inheritances, whose market price was around five thousand, but the auction price was only three thousand.

Shangguan Siheng bid up to over four thousand and ultimately secured it.

Subsequent third item, fourth item...

To have more opportunities to access the storage area for auction items after the event, Chen Sansi also made symbolic purchases of two items.

It wasn't until the eighth auction item that his attention was truly captured.

"Two saplings of Jingshen Fruit Tree."

The female cultivator responsible for auctioning quoted, "Selling price, one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones."
