Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Although Yu Poyun is emotional, as the heir of the Yu family, one of the Eight Pillars of the State, he naturally knows how to judge the situation.

At this moment, he was at the Jiange Auction, representing their Daxuantian Yu family. Now that the auction had begun, he gave up the idea of ​​creating unnecessary trouble.

He glared at Zhou Yiqiao coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Boy, I'll let you go today. We'll settle the score after the auction is over!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and entered a nearby box.

Zhou Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Luo Lishang.

The latter was looking at him with a complicated expression, which contained both surprise and a hint of imperceptible approval.

"Zhou Yiqiao, what you just said was beyond my expectation."

Luo Lishang slightly opened her red lips, and there was a hint of amusement in her cold voice.

"I thought you would confront him directly, but I didn't expect you to choose this method to temporarily resolve the conflict."

Zhou Yiqiao curled the corner of his mouth.

"Zhou is just a person who knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm. Besides, making a big fuss in such an occasion will not be good for any of us."

"Yu Poyun has the support of the Yu family, one of the Eight Pillar States. If I confront him head-on, it will be like hitting a rock with an egg. I will try to delay as long as I can."

As the echo of the auction bell gradually faded away, the crowd in the hall gradually quieted down.

A middle-aged man walked slowly onto the auction stage. He was dressed in Jiange clothing, had a calm temperament, and a gaze as sharp as lightning. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

He cleared his throat, his voice loud and clear, echoing throughout the hall.

"Dear guests, welcome to the auction held by Jiange."

"I am Zouping, the host of this auction."

He smiled slightly and continued.

"Before the auction begins, let me briefly introduce the auction rules."

“The starting price and increments for all items will be announced during the auction, and you just need to bid according to the rules.”

"Of course, the most important point is that the transactions at the auction must be completed under the supervision of Jiange. Any private transactions are not allowed."

The people in the audience had different expressions. Some looked expectant, some observed calmly, and some discussed in low voices, but without exception, they were all waiting for the auction to officially begin.

At this kind of top-notch auction, the visitors were either powerful swordsmen waiting to be selected by the Sword Pavilion, or well-known and distinguished representatives of major forces. Even for the sake of nominal courtesy, no one would be in a hurry to urge them.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Zouping nodded with satisfaction, and the first item of the auction was presented.

This is an antique long sword. The sword body is emitting a faint yellowish light, and a sharp sword energy emanates from the light.

"The first lot is the 'Shenbo Sword'. The starting price is 500 Immortal Crystals. Each bid increase must not be less than 50 Immortal Crystals."

Zouping didn't seem to have any intention of introducing the items for auction. When he spoke again, he directly announced the starting price.

Luo Lishang quietly observed the reactions of the people below the stage and whispered to Zhou Yiqiao.

"Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of this sword. Its quality has reached the middle stage of Taoist tools. It can be said to be the most precious treasure of most sects in Tianchen Realm."

She was afraid that Zhou Yiqiao didn't know what the fairy crystal that Zou Ping mentioned was, so she continued.

"As for the Immortal Crystal, it is the currency used in transactions in the Immortal Realm, just like the Spirit Stones we use."

"If such high-level magic tools were traded with spirit stones, it would be too much. They would probably pile up like a mountain, which would be extremely inconvenient. Therefore, immortal crystals came into being as a medium for trading high-level cultivation resources and treasures."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his eyes flashed slightly and he thought secretly in his heart.

He still had a small amount of immortal crystals that he had collected with Xu Hanchang and the others, and it seemed that he could use them to buy this Taoist weapon, the magic sword.

It's a pity that even if he took out the fairy crystal now, he would have the life to use the lifeless flower, which would only bring him death.

"Why, are you interested in this Shenbo Sword?"

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao had not responded for a long time, Luo Lishang hurriedly reminded him.

"Before the auction started, this sword had already been spotted by a Tribulation Crossing family and a Tribulation Crossing sect. If you want to buy it, you must be prepared to be hunted down by these two Tribulation Crossing forces."

Zhou Yiqiao came back to his senses, shook his head and smiled.

"Your Highness, you are joking. This sword is so expensive that even if I were to sell all my property, I still wouldn't be able to afford a sword tassel."

“Let’s take a step back and say that even if I can take a picture of it, I will have to keep it by my side for tens of thousands of years until I advance to the Tribulation Realm and use it. That’s too far away.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Lishang smiled and teased.

"Mr. Zhou, you are joking. With your aptitude in swordsmanship, it is only a matter of time before you are able to advance to the next level and transcend the tribulation."

"If you really need it, Mr. Zhou, I can buy this treasure for you."

"After all... you are still my Luo Lishang's Taoist partner in name only."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Princess, please stop teasing me. I feel ashamed to accept such a valuable gift."

"Besides, Zhou knows his own strengths and weaknesses. The road to swordsmanship is long, and it is still unknown whether he can advance to the next level and overcome the tribulation."

Seeing this, Luo Lishang thought to himself that it was boring, his face returned to its cold expression, and he left the ring happily.

While the two were talking, the first item had already been bought by the Tribulation Crossing Family mentioned by Luo Lishang, and the remaining items were also put on stage one by one.

The second item for auction is a spiritual fruit that exudes a faint fragrance, called the "Bi Ling Fruit". It is said that taking it can greatly enhance the spiritual power of a cultivator. For cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage, it is undoubtedly a treasure for improving their cultivation.

The starting price of this item was three hundred immortal crystals, and it was finally bought by the Medicine King Valley of the Zhongzhou Holy Sect for two thousand immortal crystals.

The third item was a piece of strange mineral, which Zouping couldn't name. Although the starting price was only one hundred fairy crystals, it was still bought by an old man who loved collecting rare treasures for five hundred fairy crystals.

Precious items were displayed one after another, and each fall of the hammer was accompanied by whispers and exclamations. The entire auction hall was filled with an atmosphere of tension and excitement.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang sat in the VIP seats, watching everything quietly, occasionally exchanging glances, but no longer saying anything more about the auction.

Finally, after more than a dozen items were traded like flowing water, the climax of the auction arrived.

The host Zou Ping's voice sounded again, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"The next lot is believed to be a treasure that many sword cultivators dream of obtaining—a 'Tiangang Sword Bone' from an ancient sword cultivator."

As he finished speaking, a crystal clear sword bone emitting a faint sword aura was presented to the auction table.

Although the sword bone is not big, the sword intent contained in it is extremely powerful. Even people who don’t understand swordsmanship can feel the power contained in it.

"The starting price is 5,000 Immortal Crystals, and each bid increase must not be less than 500 Immortal Crystals."

Zouping announced the starting price. As soon as the price was announced, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became extremely surprised.

Zhou Yiqiao could clearly see that there was a gleam of strange light in Luo Lishang's watery eyes. Obviously, this "Tiangang Sword Bone" was the treasure he was looking for on this trip.

"Five thousand immortal crystals."

Before everyone could react, Luo Lishang had already spoken, his cold voice carrying an unquestionable determination.

Many people recognized Luo Lishang from Daxuantian by the position in the box. Fearing the power of Daxuantian, the scene fell silent for a moment.

But this silence did not last long.

"Five thousand five hundred immortal crystals!"

A clear female voice came from another box, and a challenger appeared, who did not seem to be afraid of the majesty of Da Xuantian.

A burst of whispers suddenly broke out in the meeting hall, and everyone whispered to each other, trying to identify the person who dared to challenge the Second Princess of Daxuantian.

"That is the direct disciple of the Wilderness, the peerless Ji Ruxue!"

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, recognizing the identity of the box.

"Ji Ruxue? Isn't she the proud daughter of the Wilderness?"

"I remember that this girl has the bloodline of an ancient fierce tiger and follows a close combat style. Why is she competing with the Second Princess for the Tiangang Sword Bone?"

someone asked doubtfully.

"Don't you know? Many years ago in the 'Tianjiao Road', Ji Ruxue was suppressed by Luo Lishang and has been holding a grudge against him ever since. It seems that he is here to pick a fight this time."

The insider explained in a low voice.

"Now we are going to have a good show. The second princess of Daxuantian is facing off against the direct descendant of the Wilderness. This is a tit-for-tat confrontation!"

Someone said excitedly that it’s fun to watch the fun.

Luo Lishang's eyebrows slightly raised. She naturally recognized Ji Ruxue's voice. She sneered in her heart, but her expression did not change.

"Six thousand immortal crystals!"

Luo Lishang calmly quoted his price.

"Six thousand five hundred immortal crystals!"

Ji Ruxue's voice sounded again, and she seemed determined to compete with Luo Lishang.

"Seven thousand immortal crystals!"

Luo Lishang's voice remained calm.

People in the meeting hall have begun to whisper. This bidding has exceeded their expectations and has become a contest between two major forces.

"Seven thousand five hundred immortal crystals!"

There was a hint of gritted teeth in Ji Ruxue's voice, and she obviously didn't want to lose face in front of everyone.

Luo Lishang smiled slightly. She had already sensed Ji Ruxue's nervousness and knew that she was almost reaching her limit.

“Nine thousand immortal crystals!”

There was a hint of playfulness in Luo Lishang's voice. She deliberately increased the price increase in order to put more pressure on Ji Ruxue.

The atmosphere in the conference hall had reached its peak, and everyone was waiting for Ji Ruxue's response.

However, Ji Ruxue's box fell into silence.

A hint of pride flashed in Luo Lishang's eyes. She knew that Ji Ruxue was no longer able to fight.

"Nine thousand immortal crystals at a time!"

The voice of host Zou Ping echoed in the conference hall.

"Nine thousand immortal crystals twice!"

He repeated it again, his eyes sweeping across the venue, finally landing on Ji Ruxue's box, waiting for the woman's final bid.

"Nine thousand immortal crystals three times!"

With Zouping's last bid, the auction hammer fell heavily, marking the ownership of the "Tiangang Sword Bone".

"Ji Ruxue, you lost to me again."

Luo Lishang spoke indifferently, but deliberately let his voice spread throughout the entire venue.
