It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

"Madam, to be honest, there are only four people in our Hidden World Sect. Even if Zhixing joins the sect, I cannot guarantee that I can give him a good future."

It's not that she doesn't trust the sect, but the current situation of the Hidden World Sect is such that she really doesn't dare to promise anything to the woman.

"It doesn't matter. As long as the girl is willing to take him away, I will be very grateful."

The woman was slightly surprised at first when she heard this. She didn't expect that such a sect actually existed. Then she smiled bitterly and said to Cheng Shuyan.

After all, she didn't have much time left and had no time to find other ways out for Li Zhixing.

"Okay, but I have to report this to my master first. If he agrees, I will take Zhixing back to the sect."

Her cultivation level is too low now, and she cannot make decisions on such matters on her own. She needs the consent of Master Wuwei.

"Thank you so much, young lady!"

Seeing that she agreed, the woman struggled to her feet and bowed deeply to her.

She quickly helped the woman up and let her have a good rest.

After the matter was settled, Cheng Shuyan returned to his room.

……

Parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Before a woman dies, the only thing she worries about is her own children.

She thought of her parents and felt sad. If that incident had not happened, she would still be loved by her parents now, right?

……

After a sleepless night, the next morning, Cheng Shuyan told Master Wuwei about Li Zhixing, and Master Wuwei agreed without hesitation.

"This is great news! We in the Hidden World Sect value fate when accepting disciples. Li Zhixing is destined to be with us!"

Cheng Shuyan silently rolled his eyes at Wuwei Zhenren's words. What's the point of talking about fate? Obviously, no one wants to join a sect like the Hidden World Sect, so they just have to pick up disciples, right?

"Yes, yes, Master, this is a great fate! Let's go, the auction should be starting soon." She echoed Master Wuwei, and the two of them walked towards the Li Family Chamber of Commerce while laughing and joking.

……

"Senior, please show me your admission ticket." At the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, Cheng Shuyan followed Master Wuwei obediently. The cultivator in charge of reception at the door extended his hand respectfully to Master Wuwei.

Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan quickly took out the admission ticket she had purchased earlier and handed it to the monk. After checking it, the man tore off a corner of the ticket and returned it to her.

"Huh? Still alive? Li Zhiyi has consulted senior!" As soon as she took the admission ticket, Li Zhiyi's voice came from the side.

He was first surprised that Cheng Shuyan was still alive, then felt that he was being rude, and hurriedly saluted Master Wuwei.

"No need to be so polite, young friend." Master Wuwei didn't care much about it. He was a casual person.

Cheng Shuyan was a little annoyed. After all, Li Zhixing was now his junior brother, and half of the suffering he had endured came from the Li family. Naturally, she was unhappy.

"Thanks to you, I am still alive and well. I didn't die here. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Did you take the wrong medicine? Why are you so fierce? I was just giving you a kind warning!

Humph, you deserve to die!" Li Zhiyi became angry when he heard her slightly aggressive words.

Before Cheng Shuyan could say anything, Master Wuwei glanced at him coldly. Li Zhiyi was naturally unable to withstand the power of Master Jindan, and she was frightened and took a step back.

Apart from anything else, my master is very good at protecting my shortcomings.

Cheng Shuyan was somewhat helpless. Was it really that serious? It was just a quarrel between girls.

She was just about to ask her master not to be angry when she saw a man walking up from behind Li Zhiyi and yelling at him.

"I understand, but you shouldn't be unreasonable! Senior and this fellow Taoist are guests, how can you be so presumptuous!"

Then she turned to Master Wuwei and said, "Seniors, I was rude and offended you two. I am Li Zhiyuan, and I apologize to you two on my behalf."

The man was dressed in a long green gown, had generous manners, and appeared to be gentle and refined, which was completely different from Li Zhiyi's personality.

"It's okay. My disciple is also wrong." The other party was polite, so Master Wuwei didn't make things difficult for him.

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. The auction is about to begin. Please come in." He ignored Li Zhiyi who was feeling frustrated behind him and made a gesture of invitation to come in.

The monk in charge of reception also quickly followed up, "Please come in, seniors. Your private room is number three on the ground. Please follow him." He pointed to the servant waiting beside him and said respectfully.

Cheng Shuyan bought a box ticket. After all, Master Wuwei was a Jindan Master after all, so he had to have some respect.

The two followed the servant to the private room. As soon as they sat down, a maid brought them tea and snacks.

"Seniors, please have some tea and wait a moment. On the table is an introduction to the items in this auction. If you are interested, you can take a look. I will withdraw now. If you need anything, please contact Qingzhu."

Qingzhu was the maid. Upon hearing this, she immediately bowed to the two of them and said, "Greetings, seniors. Today, I will serve you. If you have anything to say, please speak to me."

"Well, get up."

In this situation, Master Wuwei nodded slightly and said indifferently.

Cheng Shuyan felt a little curious. Although this maid was a mortal, she was quite good-looking and had an elegant name. She must have been specially trained by the Li family to deal with this kind of occasion.

She pushed open the window and saw that the hall below was already full of people, and lights were gradually coming on in other boxes. She thought the auction should be about to begin.

Sure enough, a beautiful female cultivator walked up to the high platform in the hall.

"Dear seniors and fellow Taoists, I am Li Zhiyu, honored to be the host of this auction. Thank you all for your presence.

I believe everyone has their own goals for coming here today, so I will not elaborate further. Now I will introduce the first item of this auction."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid brought a brocade box.

"This is today's first lot, a piece of mid-grade lapis lazuli. It can be used to refine a Foundation Establishment Stage magical instrument. If used properly, it can even be refined into a top-grade magical instrument. Fellow Daoists who are in need should not miss this opportunity."

Lapis lazuli is not a rare material, but it is also hard to find. It is appropriate to use it in an auction of this scale to stimulate discussion.

"Hahaha, I just happen to be short of materials for refining a magical weapon, so this trip won't be in vain."

"Yes, I came here to look for materials for magical instruments, but I didn't expect to actually come across them."

"Miss Zhiyu, what's the starting price for this lapis lazuli?"

There was no reaction in any of the private rooms, but people in the hall began to speak one after another.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Li Zhiyu didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly announced the price.

"The starting price for the Celestial Blue Stone is 800 Spiritual Stones. Each bid must be no less than 100 Spiritual Stones. The highest bidder wins."

"Nine hundred spirit stones!"

As soon as the words fell, someone raised his hand to bid, and naturally the others followed suit.

The price of this piece of lapis lazuli quickly rose to 1,400 spirit stones, which was almost the same as the market price.

At this point, no one bid anymore.

Soon, the second item was brought up by the maid. It was a five-hundred-year-old spiritual herb. After Li Zhiyu introduced it as usual, it was quickly bought for one thousand three hundred taels.
