Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Zhuge Zhan lifted the red cloth on the second tray, revealing six palm-sized talismans.

Ye Yu stared blankly at the talismans on the tray, because the talismans on them were fireball talismans that she had made herself.

She had sold it at a stall during the leadership transition martial arts tournament before, but I don't know how it ended up in Zhuge Zhan's hands.

She heard Zhuge Zhan say, "Don't underestimate this talisman because of its small size. The fireball it releases is as powerful as a strike from a peak Xuan-level expert."

Some people questioned, "You think such a small talisman can conjure a fireball? That's impossible!"

"Even if it could conjure a fireball, it would probably be the work of magicians; how could it possibly have such power?"

"Is it really as powerful as you say? I'm afraid even the abbot of Taigu Temple couldn't create such a powerful talisman."

Zhuge Zhan laughed heartily: "We weren't sure at first either, so we tested it out to confirm its authenticity before daring to put it up for auction!"

After he finished speaking, he held up five fingers: "Starting bid: 50!"

The crowd below whispered among themselves, clearly still not believing it.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhan signaled to the staff to bring up a large iron box.

He opened the iron box, inside which was a charred boulder.

"This is evidence of our test of the fireball talisman's power yesterday."

Zhuge Zhan pointed to the boulder and said, "Everyone knows how hard this kind of stone is, so the damage caused by the talisman is much more powerful than ordinary flames. Moreover, this talisman is very convenient to use. The starting bid is 120 million."

Finally, someone in the crowd was tempted and raised their sign: "130 million!"

"150 million!" another person immediately followed.

The price continued to climb, and eventually, the six talismans were sold for a high price of 200 million.

Ye Yu was speechless when she heard the transaction price. She had been struggling to make a living by setting up a stall, but who knew that she could easily get 200 million at an auction house.

The next few items were all things that even the auction house wasn't sure about. When the last item, which the auction house wasn't sure about, was brought out, Ye Yu's heart started pounding.

As the red cloth was lifted, what came into Ye Yu's view was a small, incomplete strip of yellow cloth, just like the several pieces Ye Yu had already obtained.

Ye Yu had pieced together these strips of cloth in her spare time. It was clear that a map was drawn on them, and it was only two pieces away from completing the whole map.

Therefore, she must get this piece.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhan said, "This is the last mysterious item. According to our auction house's senior appraisers, the pattern on the cloth strip should be a map. However, the cloth strip is incomplete and should be divided into several pieces. As for what kind of map it is, we'll leave that to you to discover."

Zhuge Zhan looked around and said with a smile, "The starting bid is 600 million."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone shouted, "Seven million!"

"Eight million!" Ye Yu immediately raised his sign.

Seeing that Ye Yu had actually participated in the bidding, Fu Jinhua, who was sitting to the side, asked tentatively, "Why is Dr. Yu interested in this yellow cloth strip? Do you know its origin?"

"I don't know where this piece of cloth came from, but since it's a map, it's good to buy it and keep it as a keepsake. What if I get the remaining pieces someday?" Ye Yu lied without changing his expression.

"Oh...I see." Fu Jinhua nodded with some doubt.

The price soared and soon exceeded 20 million.

"Twenty-six million!" Ye Yu mentally calculated his assets and made another offer.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Just as Zhuge Zhan was about to announce the sale, a deep voice rang out: "Thirty-five million."

Ye Yu was startled and scanned the direction of the voice with her divine sense. She saw a masked man sitting in the front row, and his cultivation level was actually at the late stage of the Earth Rank.

Behind him stood two tall men, both at the early stage of the Earth Rank.

"Thirty-six million!" Ye Yu didn't want to give up and continued to raise the price.

"Forty million." The man followed without hesitation.

Ye Yu clenched her fists, she hadn't expected anyone to compete with her to this extent: "Forty-five million."

Fu Jinhua, who was standing to the side, tugged at Ye Yu's sleeve and whispered, "Doctor Yu, stop competing. Judging from this person's voice, he should be Lu Zunrong, the head of Taiyi Sect. His cultivation has reached the late stage of Earth Rank, which would rank him in the top ten in our Qianmen Sect. Not to mention that Taiyi Sect has thousands of disciples. You can't afford to offend him."

It turned out that this person was the leader of the Taiyi Sect. She had killed a disciple of the Taiyi Sect before, which had already created a grudge, so she didn't care about this anymore. She had to get this strip of cloth.

Since I've already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining, if I really have to fight Lu Zunrong and can't win, I can just run away.

Ye Yufu Jinhua smiled and said, "Since it's an auction, let's rely on our own abilities. I have nothing to lose, so I'm not afraid of anyone. I'm not afraid of the Taiyi Sect or the late-stage Earth Rank."

Fu Jinhua was shocked to hear Ye Yu's words. After a few seconds, she could only sigh helplessly, "Doctor Yu, then I'm really sorry. After the auction ends, I will help you get the Purple Leaf Three Spirit Grass, and that will be enough to repay your kindness. I really can't afford to offend the Taiyi Sect."

Ye Yu expressed her understanding: "You don't need to make things difficult for me. Once you leave, just sever all ties with me."

While the two were talking, Lu Zunrong had already raised the price to fifty million.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhuge Zhan asked loudly, "Fifty million once, fifty million twice... Is there anyone else bidding?"

Just as Zhuge Zhan was about to make the final decision, Ye Yu spoke again, "Sixty million!"

The entire room erupted in uproar, and everyone stared in disbelief at the direction where the two were sitting.

Whispers began to circulate: "Who is this person? They're incredibly rich!"

"The main thing is that she's really stubborn. The people sitting in the front row are all from major sects, and judging from her voice, she should be Lu Zunrong, the leader of the Taiyi Sect. I don't know if this person really can't tell or what, but she still dares to raise the price."

"That's right. Although this strip of cloth is supposed to be a map, it's incomplete and incomplete, so it's not very useful to us."

"That's not necessarily true. Judging from the way these two are competing, they probably know where this strip of cloth came from, or they might even have it in their possession."

"Your analysis makes sense. Let's wait and see."

Lu Zunrong was silent for a moment: "Seventy million."

"Seventy-five million." The price Ye Yu shouted out exceeded the amount of money she carried.

Lu Zunrong frowned and glanced in the direction where Ye Yu was. He hadn't expected Ye Yu to be so persistent.

He thought that since no one knew the origin of the cloth strip, it would be easy to buy, but Ye Yu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

"Eighty million!"

"Ninety million!" Ye Yu made a desperate gamble, mentally calculating which items she had on her person could be used as collateral for the auction house.

Lu Zunrong stood up, his gaze fixed intently on the screen where Ye Yu was: "My friend, I am Lu Zunrong of the Taiyi Sect. Would you do me the honor of letting me have this strip of cloth?"

"Excuse me, but this item is also useful to me. Sect Leader Lu is powerful and wealthy, could you please give it to me?"

Hearing Ye Yu's refusal, Lu Zunrong narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I won't argue with you anymore, so as not to waste everyone's time. If you regret it, you can come to Taiyi Sect to find me, and I will still give you the same price as now."

Ye Yu thanked him calmly, her heart finally at ease.

Upon hearing that the price had been set, Zhuge Zhan smiled and said, "Ninety million once, ninety million twice, ninety million three times, deal."
