Chapter 539 538 Swallowing Moon Immortal City Auction



```

In the midst of all the male cultivators, the only one in the Body Integration Realm, Bing Yi Saint Venerable, spoke with a hint of bitterness on his face.

"Rest assured, I have my ways. Not to hide from you, the Pure Emperor Sovereign left a phantom image to protect Lu Huanong's life, yet she still perished. You must believe in my methods. Of course, if you don't trust me or don't wish to go, I won't force you. I'll give you a moment to decide. Make up your minds quickly!" Yu Qingtan said confidently.

"This... Okay, then I will trust fellow Wuniang!" Bing Yi Saint Venerable said. He had been harvested by the Pure Emperor Sovereign for several years, and if it weren't for his good looks that the other party fancied, his own realm might have even fallen.

Most of the male cultivators made the same choice and were thus taken by Yu Qingtan. However, it was not to the Artifact Space but to the System Space, where their cultivation levels had been sealed. It was easy for Yu Qingtan to subtly accomplish this.

No sooner had the work been done than Yu Qingtan felt an incomparably terrifying presence descending upon the Pure Immortal City.

"Pure Emperor Sovereign, you arrive so swiftly, huh!" Yu Qingtan thought to herself, then with a mental command, she extinguished this body.

"The Emperor Sovereign has arrived; they will certainly not escape!" said a male cultivator who had chosen not to believe in Yu Qingtan, thinking that she had used an escape technique to depart.

In actuality, Yu Qingtan had already reformed her body in a previously visited Immortal City. After altering her appearance, she continued on her journey as directed by the map.

Once the Pure Emperor Sovereign arrived at the Pure Immortal City and saw the plundered Pure Palace, his rage was uncontainable. Unfortunately, despite using various methods, he could not find the perpetrator or the rescued male cultivators. He had no choice but to issue a wanted notice for Wuniang of the Eternal Sect and vent his fury on the male cultivators who had not escaped.

Although the Pure Palace was merely one of the Pure Emperor Sovereign's traveling palaces, Yu Qingtan looted over two hundred million Immortal Crystals, along with Divine Crystals, Superior Dao Artefacts, high-grade Spiritual Medicines, and other treasures worth a total of over a billion Immortal Crystals.

After pulling off such a massive heist, Yu Qingtan became much more low-key. After over ten days, she left the territory of the Daluo Empire and entered the domain of the Myriad Demon Empire.

The Myriad Demon Empire too had many Floating Immortal Cities, inhabited by high-stage members of the Demon Tribe, who mostly assumed human form, and many high-stage humans as well.

Due to the current amicable relations between the Myriad Demon Empire, the Daluo Empire, and the Da Gao Empire, trade between the high-stage cultivators of both sides was frequent. Thus, Yu Qingtan entered the Myriad Demon Empire without hinderence using her Human Race identity.

All the way, Yu Qingtan remained low-profile, moving from city to city, buying properties and leaving behind Soul Marking Seals. It wasn't until she arrived at the Swallowing Moon Immortal City, the domain of the Swallowing Moon Demon Emperor, that she noted the unusual bustle within the city. A Hundred Treasures Auction was to be held in a month's time within the city.

The Hundred Treasures Auction, hosted by the Central Region Hundred Treasures Pavilion, is a high-end auction held only once every hundred years, with locations alternating among the four major empires. This time it was to be held in the Swallowing Moon Immortal City of the Myriad Demon Empire.

The Central Region Hundred Treasures Pavilion was said to have a Transcendance Tribulation Stage Emperor Sovereign overseeing it. Its close relations with many Eighth Stage beings allowed it to have the power to host the Hundred Treasures Auction.

The Hundred Treasures Auction, as the name suggests, auctions off only a hundred treasures, but even the least valuable among them is a Superior Dao Artefact. A Void Refinement Stage Cultivation or ten million Immortal Crystals is the basic requirement for entry.

Coincidentally present, Yu Qingtan decided to attend this auction, as she had many items on hand that she couldn't use and needed to exchange for Immortal Crystals.

Yu Qingtan used the Reincarnation Mantra to disguise herself as a Body Integration Realm female cultivator, and she went directly to the Hundred Treasures Pavilion. Having revealed her cultivation level, she was immediately welcomed as a high-class guest and successfully exchanged the resources she had obtained from the Pure Palace and Yanshi Saint Venerable for nearly a billion Immortal Crystals.

The Central Region Hundred Treasures Pavilion maintained good confidentiality; they dared to accept even unidentified items, let alone the fact that Yu Qingtan did not sell any uniquely identifiable resources. Still, on the day of the auction, Yu Qingtan changed her appearance once more and entered the venue, being arranged to sit in a high-class guest box.

Yu Qingtan glanced over the auction hall, noting nearly three hundred high-level boxes reserved for Seventh Stage beings or those with a hundred billion Immortal Crystals, and all ten thousand lower-level seats were filled to capacity.

"Welcome to this Hundred Treasures Auction. I am the auctioneer for this event, Yun Shu. Without further ado, let's get the auction started. The first item up for bid is the Seventh Stage Longevity Fruit, which can extend the lifespan of a Body Integration Cultivator by a thousand years. The starting bid is one hundred million Immortal Crystals!"

Auctioneer Yun Shu was not only a stunning beauty with a fiery figure but also a Body Integration Period Saint Venerable. The first item was a heavyweight treasure, obviously meant to set the tone for the auction atmosphere.

"Two hundred million!" An aged yet forceful voice emanated from the upper suite, filled with undeniable resolution, clearly determined to obtain the Longevity Fruit.

"Four hundred million!" Almost simultaneously, another voice came from a different suite, crisp and pleasant but revealing an impressively strong financial capability and determination.

"Five hundred million!"

"Six hundred million!"

...

Bids were being called out one after another; the price soared like a rocket, each increase followed by a small stir.

Following several rounds of fierce bids, the price of the Longevity Fruit finally settled at the high position of eight hundred and fifty million Immortal Crystals and was taken by that aged Body Integration Saint Venerable.

Yu Qingtan sighed at her own meager wealth, while many of the cultivators without even a suite were astonished by the price of the first item.

Fortunately, such precious treasures appeared every nine items, with the final ten being all rare treasures.

The thirtieth item, a vat of Eighth Stage Demon Saint's essence blood, was purchased by Yu Qingtan for four hundred million Immortal Crystals. Although she had already broken through to the Seventh Stage Body Integration Realm, she still needed the Blood Refinement Saintly King Cauldron for body refinement.

"Next up, one of the main attractions of our auction, the ninety-sixth item—the Coiling Dragon Stick!"

"The Coiling Dragon Stick, an ancient Immortal Artifact, contains the majesty and power of a true dragon. Although the Artifact Spirit is dormant, it is an invaluable treasure for those who practice Body Cultivation. The starting bid is five hundred million Immortal Crystals!"

As the voice of Yun Shu Saint Venerable fell, the whole venue instantly erupted in excitement. Nobody expected an Immortal Artifact to appear so soon, indicating that the following items might be even more valuable than the Coiling Dragon Stick.

"From Primordial Sect, Yue Gang bids fifteen billion." Almost the moment Yun Shu's voice trailed off, a deep and authoritative voice came from the suite to Yu Qingtan's left, upping the bid by ten billion straight away and revealing his identity, seemingly to weigh on the competitors, within the allowed rules of the auction.

Yu Qingtan gave a slight smile; she had always felt the lack of a weapon for battle as a cultivator specializing in Body Cultivation, and this Coiling Dragon Stick seemed quite suitable. Thus, she spoke without hesitation, "Twenty billion!"

"I am Yuan Hong from the Titan Giant Ape tribe, I offer twenty-one billion!" At that moment, an even more sonorous voice rang from a suite.

"Twenty-two billion!" Yue Gang Saint Venerable from the Primordial Demon Sect gritted his teeth and raised the bid.

"Twenty-five billion!" Yu Qingtan remained unyielding.
