The eldest sister just wanted to give up, while the spirit swords vied to recognize her as their mas

Yun Fuzhao took out the token from his sleeve, and the taller man took it from him. He was wearing black leather gloves.

These two were completely covered up from head to toe.

Yun Fuzhao had heard that the origins of this exchange were shrouded in mystery and involved a wide range of powerful forces. Being able to conduct business across the six realms meant that the mastermind behind it must be no ordinary person.

The man pressed the token into a groove in the wall, and soon the door slowly opened.

"please."

The man returned the token with both hands.

Yun Fuzhao nodded and stepped inside.

It was pitch black inside, with not a single ray of light in sight. Just as Yun Fuzhao was wondering what was going on, a man who was about the same height as her suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Sir, please come with me."

The other person walked silently, their breathing steady. The fact that they could approach her so quietly meant they were likely already at the Golden Core stage or higher.

Even the attendant guiding us here has reached the Nascent Soul stage?

He led Yun Fuzhao through the rooms, and when they reached the second to last room, he pushed it open and gestured for her to enter.

The door to the side room opened, letting in a faint light.

Yun Fuzhao saw the man's face clearly; it was an unremarkable face, the kind you couldn't find in a crowd.

"The projection stone is on the wooden table in the middle. You can use it by placing your token against it. There are drinks and snacks prepared inside. Please call me if you need anything. I wish you success in bidding for your desired items at Wanbao Pavilion."

After the man finished speaking, he bowed to her and left.

The room was filled with the elegant fragrance of ambergris, which soothed people's emotions.

The table was laden with fruits from all over the world, some of which were bright red and the size of a fist, and some even seemed to possess a pure spiritual energy. Yun Fuzhao had never seen this kind of fruit before, but he could tell from its appearance that it was quite expensive.

This Wanbao Pavilion truly exudes an aura of wealth.

Yun Fuzhao affixed the token to the jade stone placed in the center, and the emerald green image-recording stone lit up, quickly projecting an image onto the wall.

It was a stage-like place, and a man wearing a purple robe with a dark floral pattern of toads and laurels slowly walked from beside the curtain.

Yun Fuzhao took out his rosewood chaise lounge, which transformed into a chair resembling an executive chair as soon as it hit the ground.

She happily lay down on it.

Removing his mask, Yun Fuzhao leisurely tossed the fruit into his mouth one by one.

[Wanbaoge, I haven't been here for many years...]

I once photographed quite a few elixirs here.

While the man in the picture was still making some irrelevant opening remarks, Yun Fuzhao started chatting with the powerful figures.

Yun Fuzhao: [Big shots, do you know who's behind Wanbaoge?]

[The Wanbao Pavilion is involved in the Six Realms, and there are many different opinions about who is behind it.]

[Yun Family Team 2, Ziqian: Most people speculate it's related to the Hall of Rebirth.]

[Yun Family Team 1, Hong Ziqing: Many people also speculate that it's from the Ghost Realm, since Ghosts like to wear these big black robes.]

The names they mentioned were completely unfamiliar to Yun Fuzhao, as they were hardly mentioned in the original storyline.

"Let's take a look at our first item today."

In the scene, two beautiful women push a huge square object into the venue, which is covered with a crimson cloth, completely obscuring it.

"I wonder what's inside?" The man deliberately kept them in suspense, whetting their appetites, before slowly lifting a corner of the red cloth.

Inside the glass case, a long, jet-black sword floated, surrounded by wisps of dark energy. This dark energy, like a restrained beast, thrashed and clawed at the glass case.

Yun Fuzhao heard a series of mournful cries.

"This is our first item today. Its origin is unknown and it is extremely difficult to control. Starting bid: 100 mid-grade spirit stones."

Yun Fuzhao stared at the black longsword in the image, and her heart inexplicably ached, as if something was about to burst out of her chest.

[Yun Family Squad 2, You Ziqian: Hold your breath, concentrate. This sword can bewitch people.]

Upon seeing this sentence, Yun Fuzhao mobilized her spiritual energy, and the spiritual root in her dantian began to circulate, slowly calming her restless emotions.

Yun Fuzhao touched his chest; the strange feeling still lingered.

This sword is too strange; no wonder it was put at the top of the auction. You must know that the most taboo thing for cultivators is an unstable Dao heart. Many cultivators fall into demonic cultivation because they develop inner demons when they break through.

Demonic cultivators differ from demons. Demons are born demons, and their strength increases with age. Demonic cultivators, however, are more like a hybrid product; they lack reason and are ruthless killing machines. Therefore, they are hunted down by the six realms.

No cultivator would willingly enter into a contract with a sword that looks strange; that would be tantamount to playing a joke on their own cultivation.

Perhaps only demons would be interested in such things. But demons themselves are weapons, and they don't like using these fancy gadgets.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

"Two hundred mid-grade spirit stones."

Yun Fuzhao heard a voice that had been specially processed.

After the first bidder made a bid, a few more followed, and the longsword was eventually sold for 320 mid-grade spirit stones.

Yun Fuzhao wasn't interested in the next few items, but he could hear people on the screen constantly bidding.

"Next up is our fifth item for today: the core of a sixth-grade emerald-eyed spirit cat. Starting bid: fifty high-grade spirit stones."

Yun Fuzhao sat up straight. A sixth-grade spirit beast—if it were alive, she wouldn't be able to kill it with her current strength, so she had to buy a ready-made one.

The sixth grade is for Jiaoyu to eat; surely she won't mind now.

"Seventy high-grade spirit stones."

Yun Fuzhao noticed that the tone of his voice had changed when he shouted.

Another voice rang out, "One hundred high-grade spirit stones."

Yun Fuzhao followed closely behind, offering "one hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones."

One hundred and seventy pieces.

Yun Fuzhao gritted his teeth, "Two hundred."

There was no sound in the video. Although a sixth-grade beast core is rare, it is, after all, from a dead spirit beast. Most cultivators would only use it to feed their own spirit beasts.

Using two hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy a beast core is rather wasteful.

In the end, Yun Fuzhao obtained the sixth-grade beast core.

With this one expenditure, she was left with only fifty mid-grade spirit stones. That's barely enough to buy even the red cloth on her collection.

Yun Fuzhao hadn't originally planned to spend money to buy the fox clan's young master; he was the last one to be bought, so it was bound to cost a lot of money.

[Hong Ziqing has rewarded 500 high-grade spirit stones]

Wei Heyu donated 500 high-grade spirit stones.

【…】

Several unfamiliar powerful figures also gave rewards, and Yun Fuzhao suddenly had 1,900 high-grade spirit stones in his pocket.

Yun Fuzhao lay down comfortably.

I almost forgot about her incredible cheat code.

With powerful figures around, she might actually be able to buy the young master of the fox clan directly.

"Next, is our sixth item in today's collection," the man said with a smirk, slowly pulling back the red cloth, "an ancient and mysterious fragment..."
