Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

After discovering the correct way to use Xu Hao's cheat code, Xu Qingzhou launched the Wanbaoge branch plan.

Now, more than 20 years later, Wanbaoge has branches all over medium and large cities in Cangzhou, and even branches in several nearby continents.

Xu Hao brought back various rare treasures from the Immortal Realm one after another. With the help of these treasures, Wanbaoge not only easily gained a foothold, but also rapidly developed and rose to become a highly sought-after business in various regions.

Xu Qingzhou now felt the time was ripe; it was time to elevate Wanbaoge's reputation to a new level.

So Wanbaoge began to release a message that a large-scale auction would be held in Duanshan City.

Treasures that were previously sold in limited quantities at Wanbaoge will appear, and there will even be rarer ones, such as pills suitable for Saint Realm experts.

When the news spread throughout Cangzhou and even several nearby continents, it caused an uproar. Major powers began to raise spirit stones to participate in the auction.

"My God! Wanbaoge is actually auctioning off Saint Pills? That's incredibly extravagant!!"

"This shows that the Xu family must have a lot of things, which is why they put the surplus up for auction."

"I'll sell everything I own to attend this auction!!"

"Over the years, the Xu family has brought out all sorts of rare treasures. Could they have discovered a new world?"

"At most, it's some ancient secret realm or ruin. You can even talk about something like a new world?"

The news that Wanbaoge's flagship store was holding a large-scale auction quickly spread throughout Cangzhou and several nearby continents.

Even though the auction is still six months away, many people from various factions have already set off for Duanshan City in Cangzhou.

During this period, the flow of people in Duanshan City has been increasing at a visible rate.

Seeing this, Tu Jiuming, who had become the new city lord, was also very pleased. He was glad that he had been rescued and that after dealing with Wei Jianghe, he took the initiative to make concessions and befriend the Xu family.

If Wei Jianghe continues to be locked in a stalemate with the Xu family, the City Lord's Mansion will eventually be destroyed by the Xu family, who have risen to power.

When the day of the Wanbaoge Grand Auction arrived, the entire Duanshan City was packed with people. The streets were crowded with people everywhere, and even the usually quiet suburban roads were bustling with cultivators.

Duanshan City is now arguably the most prosperous city in the surrounding continents.

In the center of Broken Mountain City stands a magnificent and resplendent palace.

This palace had previously been used by the City Lord's Mansion. After Tu Jiuming took over Duanshan City, he gave the palace to the Xu family as an apology.

After that, the Xu family opened the Wanbaoge flagship store in this palace.

Customers arrive at the palace and step onto a seven-colored fairy bridge made of divine rainbows, which leads them to the palace gates.

Looking up, you can see the three large characters "Wanbaoge" written above.

This was written by Xu Qingzhou himself, and it contains Xu Qingzhou's Dao, which is quite profound. If a cultivator with strong comprehension looks at these three characters, he will be able to gain some insight, or even break through directly.

If you're not strong enough, staring at those three characters for a while will make you dizzy.

Upon entering the palace, one is greeted by a dazzling array of shelves.

Of course, the palace was full of people at the moment, and nothing else could be seen.

The second floor of the palace consists of luxuriously decorated VIP rooms, the third floor is the auction venue, and the upper floors are only accessible to the management of Wanbaoge.

Regular customers can only access the second floor through the lobby on the first floor, while VIPs can go directly to the second or third floor from the side.

At this time, the Xu family members were all on the fourth floor.

Yu Shufei asked, "Are we really going to sell all of those Heavenly Spirit Pills?"

The Heavenly Spirit Pill is one of the three pill formulas that Xu Hao brought back, a pill suitable for Saint Realm experts.

Such pill formulas also exist in the Tianyuan Realm, but they are rare. They are controlled by the twenty strongest hegemonic forces in the Tianyuan Realm, and other forces can only occasionally buy a tiny bit by spending a lot of resources.

This demonstrates the rarity and preciousness of the sacred pill.

Xu Qingzhou affirmed, "Of course, although the Saint Pill is precious and rare, it is not very useful to our Xu family at present. It is more reasonable to exchange it for more useful resources."

The Xu family now has six Saint Realm experts, and Xu Qingzhou, who is at the Great Saint Realm, no longer needs the Heavenly Spirit Pill.

The few people at the True Saint Realm can use this pill, but only one pill is needed; taking more will drastically reduce its effectiveness.

Therefore, the remaining Heavenly Spirit Pills are useless and might as well be sold to buy Five Elements Spiritual Objects or other sacred medicines.

This way, when Xu Hao obtains the formulas for other sacred pills in the future, he can refine them directly.

Xu Luo, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement. He had always recognized Xu Qingzhou's awareness.

“The distinguished guests have all arrived, let’s go down and greet them,” Xu Qingzhou said.

Given Xu Qingzhou's status, there was indeed no need for him to meet with any person or force. However, since the Great Xia Dynasty and the Heavenly Fire Burning Beast Clan, two close allies, were coming, it was worthwhile to meet them.

Xu Qingzhou met with the two close allies of the Xu family, and after they entered their respective VIP rooms, he returned upstairs.

For the other partners, Xu Luo and Xu Chen can simply meet with them.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to have Xu Luo and his group appear. People like the three holy lands and the Duan family and the Jiuli Dynasty, who don't have much of a relationship with the Xu family, are basically ignored. It's already quite good that they were allowed to come in to participate in the auction.

Xu Luo and his group would only meet with those who had cooperated with the Xu family, had a good relationship with them, and belonged to the dominant forces, and then arrange for someone to take them to the VIP room.

Soon, the dominant forces from Cangzhou and several nearby continents arrived at Wanbaoge one after another.

The auction hall had thousands of seats, above which were private rooms.

The hall was already full, the aisles were packed with people, and more people were still squeezing in.

"My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen so many people at an auction!"

"I just saw a lot of important figures, including even a Saint Realm expert."

"At least 70% of the dominant forces in Cangzhou have arrived, and the same number have arrived in the surrounding continents."

Such a grand occasion is truly rare.

"If this auction by Wanbaoge is a success, it won't be long before Wanbaoge becomes the most sought-after trading company in the surrounding dozens of continents."

Just as everyone was discussing this, a clear bell suddenly rang out in the hall.

"clang...."

All the discussions ceased tacitly at that moment, and even the whispers in the private room vanished completely.

Because the sound of the bell signifies that the auction has begun.

The third elder of the Xu family walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Welcome to Wanbaoge for this grand auction."

"I am the third elder of the Xu family and the manager of the main store of Wanbaoge in Duanshan City. Greetings, everyone."

Currently, Yu Shufei is in charge of coordinating everything at Wanbaoge, while Yu Tianzhuo is traveling around making adjustments and arrangements.

The third elder, who was relatively free among the seven elders of the Xu family, took on the role of manager of the main store.

Back in Yunshan City, the Third Elder was only at the Nascent Soul Realm. If he had continued cultivating normally, he would probably have reached the Profound Core Realm at most before his death. But now, he has already reached the Heavenly Palace Realm.

In the future, it may be possible to break through to the Dharma Body Integration, or even the Saint Realm.

However, due to various reasons, the seven elders of the Xu family may only reach the True Saint Realm at most.

But this is only the current situation. If Xu Hao discovers some powerful natural treasures in the Immortal Realm in the future, it might be able to raise the upper limit of the seven elders again.

After the Third Elder finished his introduction with a smile, he got straight to the point.

"This auction is the first large-scale auction held by Wanbaoge. It will be held once every thirty years thereafter. Without further ado, let the auction begin."

"The first competitor is a puppet."

The Third Elder raised his hand, and a figure appeared in front of him. At first glance, it seemed to be a living cultivator, since its eyes were open and it still had cultivation. However, after a closer inspection, it was discovered that its three souls and seven spirits were incomplete.

"This is a puppet with the cultivation of the Dharma Aspect Realm. The starting price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least five high-grade spirit stones higher."

As soon as the Third Elder finished speaking, bids began to pour in.
