Xu Mansion.

Beneath the withered and flourishing tree.

Xu Chuan silently cultivated himself.

Mo Yue descended from the sky, saying with a hint of anger, "Xu Chuan, you're really not being fair. Innate spiritual objects are of great use to our demon race."

Not to mention the best quality!
You actually put it up for auction!

"If you want it, why don't you just say so?" Xu Chuan smiled gently.

"What kind of person am I? How could I be a beggar like that!" Mo Yue retorted defiantly.

"There are two portions of 'Mysterious Origin Heavy Water.' I originally intended to save one for someone, but since they don't appreciate it, I'll just use it myself."

Xu Chuan took out a ball of "Mysterious Origin Heavy Water" with a flip of his hand.

"You're not majoring in water-related fields, giving it to you would be a waste!"

Mo Yue raised his hand and directly took the "Mysterious Origin Heavy Water" into his palm, grinning and saying, "Since you handed it over voluntarily, I won't hold it against you!"

Once I comprehend the meaning of this heavy water, all my techniques will be transformed, and every strike will possess near-divine power. At that time, I'll see how that old codger Qi Tianxiong will ever be able to defeat me!

"I hope you can truly understand it and that it won't be a waste."

"Don't underestimate me! I'll do my best right away!"

"Go on patrol!"

"understood!"

Mo Yue waved his hand, transformed into a dragon, opened his mouth and swallowed the "Mysterious Origin Heavy Water", and flew into the air.

Although innate spiritual objects are precious, if they are used to their fullest potential, there will be no waste.

Xu Chuan even considered whether to use the Five Elements Innate Spiritual Objects to comprehend the "Five Elements Creation Palm".

The more he pondered, the more he realized that the most basic condition for fully comprehending it was to have grasped the true meaning of the Five Elements.

Only in this way can one reach the state of creation through the Five Elements.

The threshold for comprehending this supernatural power was higher and more difficult than he had ever seen in his life.

Even those at the Nascent Soul stage might not be able to grasp the basics!

Just like the true meaning of life and death, all people are born, grow old, get sick and die, but it is too difficult to understand its true meaning.

Xu Chuan also first comprehended the cycle of life and death, gradually understanding it step by step, and then, with some fortuitous encounters, he was able to transform life and death into the cycle of life and death.

I'm just starting out.

The subsequent minor achievements, major achievements, and even perfection will take countless years to attain.

Furthermore, space and time are omnipresent, and unless one is exceptionally gifted, how many people can comprehend the true meaning of the corresponding supernatural powers?

That night.

Some rogue cultivators, thinking themselves clever, secretly left Yunxi City, but after only a few dozen miles, they were ambushed by two or three groups of people.

The items he acquired changed hands several times.

Although Mo Yue could sense the movement, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Xu Chuan had already given instructions that any looting or robbery occurring in Yunxi City should be dealt with by killing the perpetrators.

But outside the city, even right at the city gate, there's no need to worry about it!

Life and death are determined by fate; everything is a choice we make!

Mo Yue's dark golden dragon eyes turned towards the east gate, not far from the Tiancang Mountains, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. "A bunch of idiots. As long as they stay obediently in Yunxi City, nothing will happen to them."

Why do you have to be so clever?

What a brilliant bunch!

In the past, Mo Yue would never have known what this meant. But after spending a long time with Xu Chuan, he realized that it was an insult.

That night.

The city of Yunxi remained calm, but bloody battles raged outside the city.

Those who benefited even returned to Yunxi City openly, enjoying the protection afforded by the rules!
The next day, the dawn broke.

The area outside Yunxi Auction House was much quieter, with only powerful auras quietly descending and disappearing into the still majestic building.

Today's event is a high-level trade fair exclusively for cultivators at the Golden Core stage and above.

The threshold is much higher than it was yesterday.

The auction house doors were tightly shut, and the array formations were fully activated.

All the Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators present were randomly led to different private rooms.

The private room's doors were tightly shut, and all restrictions were activated, completely isolating the transmission of divine senses and sounds from both inside and outside. The only feature was a specially made one-way glass window, through which the auction stage below could be clearly seen.

Each private room is equipped with writing brush, ink, paper, a specially made sandalwood box that isolates divine sense from detection, and a waiter responsible for delivering the transaction details.

On the high platform, Chen Changge, dressed in a plain robe, stood solemnly.

"Esteemed seniors and fellow Daoists," his voice clearly transmitted through the array to each private room, "the rules for today's trading event are as follows: if you wish to trade any treasures, please press the red button inside your private room."

A red button indicates that you have items to trade, and the lamp hanging outside will light up red. Green indicates that you are idle or the trade is completed, and the lamp will light up green.

Only one red lantern can be lit in each private room to avoid confusion.

At this point, he instructed the waiter in the private room to hand over the treasure and his own needs to Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen would display the treasures to all the private rooms and explain the owner's needs.

"If any of you are interested in a particular item, please write down what you wish to trade on a piece of paper and have your servant give it to me, Chen. After reviewing each item, I will pass it on to the owner of the treasure for them to choose from."

Rest assured, Mr. Chen is merely acting as a notary and will not disclose the items involved in the transaction. This is to prevent anyone from cheating or denying the transaction afterward.

Each person has only one chance to trade each item, and others only have one chance to bid, so please choose carefully.

Of course, if the owner of the treasure is not satisfied with the bids, they can refuse them all.

"To ensure fairness, all participants must remain silent during the transaction, and any unauthorized use of spiritual senses to probe or communicate is prohibited."

My family's Supreme Elder, Senior Mo Yue, will personally oversee the event and monitor the entire proceedings. Any violation will result in immediate expulsion and disqualification from this trade fair.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yue appeared on the auction stage with an overwhelming demonic aura.

A pair of dark golden dragon eyes swept across all the private rooms.

His deep voice rang out, "Your subtle movements with your divine senses cannot escape my notice. If anyone violates this rule, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

Then, Mo Yue withdrew his oppressive aura and sat down in a seat to the side.

"Furthermore, each private room has a secret passage, allowing guests to leave with the assistance of a waiter at the end of the event," Chen Changge concluded in a loud voice. "Does anyone have any objections?"

After a dozen or so breaths, seeing no one answer, Chen Changge said, "Then I hereby declare that the High-Level Trading Conference has officially begun!"
Next, I, Yunxi City, will offer my humble opinion as a starting point.

A waiter walked onto the auction stage carrying a tray with a white jade porcelain bottle on it.

Chen Changge said loudly, "There is a top-grade 'Golden Essence Pill' in the porcelain bottle. Many people here should have heard of this pill."

This pill is a breakthrough pill for those who have reached the Golden Core stage.

The superior-grade "Golden Essence Pill" is designed to address the bottleneck in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

The chance of breaking through to the mid-stage is over 70%, and if one takes it at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, there is a 50% chance of reaching an even higher level.

There's even a 20% chance it can help a late-stage Golden Core cultivator break through to the peak of the Golden Core realm in one fell swoop!

Upon hearing this, the atmosphere in many private rooms changed instantly!
There were quite a few Golden Core cultivators present who were stuck at a bottleneck, and they were all tempted!

Chen Changge continued, "For this item, the first choice is the 'Azure Nether Flower'. If the Azure Nether Flower is unavailable, other rare third- or fourth-tier spiritual herbs can be used for exchange. The more rare the herbs, the greater the chance of winning the bid!"
Now, fellow Daoists in the private rooms, those who are interested may write down the items they wish to trade.

For a moment, many private rooms fell into deep thought and intense deliberation.

The value of the Golden Elixir is beyond doubt. People like the Yan family patriarch and the Tang family patriarch were stuck at the peak of the early Golden Elixir stage for more than two hundred years.

The Yan family patriarch has been stuck at the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm for over a hundred years!
The Greedy Wolf Sect, the Heavenly Azure Sect, and the Ancient Nether City all have cultivators at the late stage of the ninth level of the Golden Core realm, yet they have always struggled to withstand those at the peak of the Golden Core realm.

Both the Greedy Wolf Sect and the Heavenly Azure Sect naturally have some reserves of breakthrough pills, but a high-grade pill is something that might not be available even once in sixty years!
“The Azure Flower, this spiritual herb is extremely rare, poisonous, and basically useless for cultivation. What does the Xu family want it for?” Xi Fengyue muttered to himself.

"Perhaps it's for refining some kind of elixir, or for some other purpose," said True Monarch Qingmu. "There are no useless spiritual herbs in the world; it's just that most people don't know their exact uses."

Xi Daoyun said, "I have never heard of the 'Azure Nether Flower' being used to refine elixirs, though some demonic cultivation techniques might use it."

Many people have this question.

Although the "Azure Flower" is only a third-tier spiritual herb, it is extremely rare.

In terms of value alone, it is close to a fourth-grade spiritual herb, but it is still far inferior to a top-grade "Golden Essence Pill".

Those who did not possess the "Azure Flower" began to take stock of the rare spiritual herbs in their storage bags, considering how to combine them to impress the Xu family.

A few minutes later.

One by one, waiters came to the auction stage and presented the sandalwood box.

There are sixteen copies in total!
Chen Changge opened and inspected them one by one.

Many of them produced seven or eight third-tier spiritual herbs plus several fourth-tier spiritual herbs, and some even produced more than ten fourth-tier spiritual herbs.

Two of them have "Blue Ghost Flower".

Chen Changge chose the person who had the "Azure Flower" and a fourth-tier "Exquisite Orchid".

"Yunxi City has made its choice!"

He immediately instructed the waiters to return to their respective private rooms through a secret passage.

Private room number 312.

"Congratulations, senior, on successfully acquiring the superior-grade 'Golden Essence Pill.' Please present the item to be traded. Once both parties have verified its contents, the transaction will be complete."

Gu Xuanyou nodded slightly.

The elder beside him handed one or two wooden boxes with protective seals to the attendant, who in turn presented a white jade porcelain bottle.

Both sides carefully checked their own work.

A few moments.

The waiter said, "The items provided by the senior are correct. I wonder if there is any problem with the pills? If not, then the transaction is complete, and I will take my leave now."

The elder said, "It is indeed a top-grade 'Golden Essence Pill'!"

"Congratulations again on obtaining the precious pill, senior. I will take my leave now."

The waiter left through a secret passage, returned to the auction stage, and handed the items to Chen Changge.

Chen Changge put it into his storage bag and said with a smile, "Next, fellow Daoists who have trading needs, please send your items and requirements to the stage."

Immediately, a red light was lit outside one of the private rooms.

"Please, fellow Daoist in private room number eighteen, bring up the items for your transaction!"

"The fourth-grade low-level spiritual material, 'Earth Fire Jade Marrow,' is condensed from the fire vein at the heart of the earth, containing the essence of earth fire. It can be used as a material for refining high-grade magic weapons with earth and fire attributes."

The holder requests either an equivalent fourth-tier metal-attribute spiritual material or a complete metal-based escape technique!

"Those interested can now place their bids!"

Private Room No. 7.

Xu Chuan, Xu Deling, and Ye Fan are here.

“Grandfather, these materials are excellent.” Xu Deling’s eyes flashed as he smiled.

"Then let's make a deal."

Of the five elemental supernatural powers, the Xu family only possesses the earth element, which is incomplete; the rest include combat, escape, and defensive supernatural powers.

Xu Chuan wrote down the words "Hao Bai Jin Guang Dun" and had someone deliver the items.

There weren't many people interested in this material; only six or seven companies in total.

After weighing their options, the person in private room number eighteen chose "Haobai Golden Light Escape".

"A single 5,000-year-old 'Nine-Leaf Purple Lingzhi' possesses a powerful yet gentle medicinal effect, comparable to a fourth-tier spiritual herb. It is also the main ingredient or auxiliary ingredient for refining various high-level pills."

The holder requests three high-grade spirit stones, or one bottle of pills to advance their cultivation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. High-grade pills are preferred; two bottles of mid-grade pills are needed, and three bottles of low-grade pills are required.

"Indeed, this elixir is one of the three auxiliary ingredients for the fourth-tier cultivation-enhancing pill, the 'Purple Dragon Pill.' Then let's exchange it for two bottles of high-grade 'Azure Cloud Pills'!"

"A section of the fourth-grade superior 'Thunder Sound Bamboo', though only about a foot long, has roots. Those skilled in wood-type supernatural abilities can try cultivating it."

Its bamboo body is covered with thunder patterns, implying heavenly might. It can be used as a material for refining top-tier thunder-type magic weapons. However, judging from its size, it can only be used to refine magic weapons the size of a dagger, or a sharp cone, silver needle, etc.

They wish to exchange for elixirs or pills with a success rate of over 30% in breaking through late-stage bottlenecks.

"Buy!" Xu Chuan's eyes lit up, and he took out another high-grade "Golden Essence Pill" to exchange for it!
Many people later sought elixirs to improve their cultivation or items to break through their current realm.

Some people sought mid-grade magic treasures, while others overestimated themselves, attempting to exchange fourth-grade spiritual materials for high-grade magic treasures, resulting in their items failing to sell at auction.

Time passed little by little.

As the sun began to set, the trade fair drew to a close.

The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense; everyone knew that the real highlight was about to begin.

Chen Changge took a deep breath, his expression more solemn than ever before. "Gentlemen, is there anyone else who wants to trade? If not, I will begin trading the last item of this transaction in a short while."

"It's finally here!" Many people's hearts stirred, and their eyes turned to the auction stage with burning desire.

After a cup of tea.

"It seems everyone has been waiting for this grand finale!"

Chen Changge smiled slightly, patted his storage bag, and took out a long, narrow wooden box covered with restrictions.

The moment the wooden box was opened, there were no earth-shattering phenomena, only a clear, lingering fragrance that seemed to cleanse the soul and enlighten the mind.

"What is this?" Many people were surprised and did not recognize the object.

Even Qi Tianxiong and Xi Daoyun, both Nascent Soul cultivators, frowned slightly.

Of all the private rooms, only Mo Wentian recognized that it was the heartwood of the ten-thousand-year-old "Awakening Spirit Tree" that he had left after forming his Nascent Soul.

Inside the wooden box lay a piece of object, about a foot long and as thick as a child's arm.

Its color is like the finest ancient ink, yet it subtly exudes a warm and jade-like texture, with its surface covered with natural wood grain patterns resembling tree rings or inscriptions on the Great Way.

Upon closer inspection, the textures appear to flow slowly, emitting a hazy glow.

Mere eye contact can instantly clear one's mind, making one's thoughts exceptionally clear and lucid.

Chen Changge was quite excited and said, "This is the heartwood of the 'Awakening Spirit Tree'. The 'Awakening Spirit Tree' is a fifth-order spiritual wood that naturally possesses the ability to clear the mind and awaken the spirit, nourish the soul, and resist external evils."

Its heartwood is especially rich in essence.

If placed beside a Golden Core cultivator during their Nascent Soul breakthrough, it can greatly enhance the stability of the soul and effectively resist the invasion of inner demons.

Its value is self-evident.

"The older the 'Awakening Tree' is, the stronger its resistance effect. This tree heart comes from a ten-thousand-year-old 'Awakening Tree', which is enough to increase the success rate of overcoming the tribulation of inner demons by 30%."

The size of this tree heart is enough to protect one person through tribulation!
If there is any remaining after the tribulation, it can be carried with you to nourish and strengthen your soul, and to calm your mind.

"Wow——!"

Despite the anticipation and the best efforts to restrain themselves, low gasps and gasps of surprise still escaped from the private rooms! Many people even stood up involuntarily, staring intently at the seemingly ancient piece of wood!
"Over ten thousand years old! The heartwood of the 'Awakening Tree'!"

"This item has unparalleled benefits in condensing the nascent soul, nourishing and strengthening the spirit, and resisting inner demons!"

"It truly is an opportunity to form the Nascent Soul stage!"

Chen Changge paused for a moment, then continued, "In this transaction, Yunxi City will not make any requirements. Everyone can write down the corresponding items to be traded based on their perceived value."

Of course, Mr. Chen would like to remind everyone not to take chances, as this trading opportunity only comes once.

If you miss this opportunity, you might not have another chance to form a Nascent Soul stage for decades, hundreds, or even two or three hundred years!
If no one offers a satisfactory price, this item will go unsold!

This is equivalent to a zero reserve price, allowing anyone to bid!

However, the decision on whether the deal will succeed rests with the Xu family.

"Your Xu family is ruthless!"

Qi Tianxiong's expression was uncertain. It was obvious that they were being forced to stake everything, otherwise they wouldn't be able to easily take away this Nascent Soul opportunity!

Those who can afford to pay the price are the Greedy Wolf Sect, the Heavenly Azure Sect, the Mo Family, the Lei Family, the Ancient Nether City, the Sima Family, the Nie Family, the Chao Family, and the Heavenly Feather Sect.

Mo Family Private Room.

"Big brother, should we fight for it?"

Mo Wenshang looked at the heart of the ten-thousand-year-old "Awakening Tree" with intense fervor, then looked away and asked Mo Wentian.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Wentian finally shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, the Xu family will not give this opportunity to my Mo family. Even if we give up all our wealth, it will be useless."

Mo Wenshang frowned slightly, but did not say anything more.

But when he looked at the auction stage, he felt a pang of regret.

Ultimately, it was his eldest brother who made the decisions for the Mo family.

Tiancang Sect's elegant room.

Xi Daoyun wrote down various rare spiritual materials on the paper, including even a third-order spiritual vein!
Hand the paper to the waiter so he can take it away.

Then, his gaze fell on the heart of the ancient "Awakening Tree" and he said calmly, "I'd like to see what you choose, Xu Chuan!"

"Elder, could it be that Xu Chuan never intended to sell this Nascent Soul opportunity to any of the forces present, and that this is just a gimmick?" Xi Fengyue pondered.

"It's possible, but if we're talking about what's best for the Xu family, selling it to the Tianzhu Sect would be the most suitable option. True Lord Lieyang is Xu Deling's senior brother, and because of Xu Deling's connections..."

The Heavenly Forging Sect and the Xu family have a good relationship!

If True Monarch Lieyang were to advance to the Nascent Soul stage using this method, the Heavenly Forging Sect would owe him a tremendous favor.

"Senior Brother Aoki is right, that's the most likely possibility!"

Lei Family Private Room.

Lei Wuji had previously visited the door seeking the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul, but was refused.

But he was somewhat unwilling to give up and wanted to try one last time, so he wrote down the items to be traded with the Lei family on a piece of paper.

"Elder, didn't you say that the Xu family wouldn't agree to give the Nascent Soul stage opportunity to our Lei family? Why did you say that?" asked Lei Yunpeng, a young Golden Core cultivator from the Lei family.

"Do your best and obey fate!"

"It's just a matter of writing a few more lines."

The Greedy Wolf Sect, Ancient Nether City, the Sima Family, and other forces also sent out their own items for trade.

Chen Changge opened the wooden box and looked through the contents written on the papers one by one.

He felt his heart pounding!
Anyone who makes a bid will find that the value of the item far exceeds ten times the total wealth of the Chen family, and almost every family has opened up a third-tier spiritual vein.

There were even three companies trading third-tier high-grade spiritual veins.

In addition, there are many rare and precious medicinal herbs and materials, and even several innate spiritual objects.

"This person offered the most generous price, so he should belong to the Greedy Wolf Sect. The second one should be the Heavenly Azure Sect. The third one is the Ancient Nether City Sect. The fourth one has a top-tier magic weapon, so it should be True Monarch Lieyang and his group."

It seems that True Lord Yan Zhen has the ability to refine top-tier magic weapons!
Spiritual veins are the foundation of a power, and top-tier magic treasures can greatly enhance one's strength!
If it were me, I would really have a hard time making that decision, what a pity.

If Xu Deling were to actually ask for a top-tier magic weapon, Yan Zhenzhen would certainly help refine it, but Xu Chuan wouldn't allow him to ask so easily.

After all, every time you ask for a favor, you incur a debt that you have to repay.

Therefore, the matter of the dimensional magnetic shield was actually a transaction involving the Dragon Blood Fruit.

Although a 6,000-year-old dragon blood fruit is precious, it is not even worth one-tenth of the value of a nine-patterned Yuan Magnetic Shield for ordinary cultivators.

However, it just so happens to be of great use to Yanlongzi.

Most Nascent Soul sects have stock of pills that can help Golden Core cultivators break through bottlenecks.

However, items that help Nascent Soul cultivators break through their cultivation bottlenecks, such as the heartwood of the ten-thousand-year-old "Awakening Spirit Tree," are not something that ordinary Nascent Soul sects accumulate.

Otherwise, would Nascent Soul cultivators be so rare?
It's estimated that only top-tier Nascent Soul sects with long-standing traditions, like Qingyun Sect and Yuhua Sect, have reserves, but they only use them in critical moments.

For example, a great cultivator's lifespan is about to end, but no new great cultivator has taken his place.

Only then can such resources be utilized.

Newly emerging top-tier Nascent Soul sects like the Xuan Yue Sect, if not for some extraordinary opportunity, will likely enjoy a thousand years of glory, only to lose their former glory once their great cultivators perish.

After a cup of tea.

Chen Changge raised his head and said loudly, "My Yunxi City has already selected a trading partner. Because this item is valuable, I, Chen, will personally go to the transaction. Please wait patiently."

The waiters returned to their respective private rooms.

Qi Tianxiong, Xi Daoyun, and the others all turned grim when they saw that Chen Changge had not appeared!

Lei Wuji, Lieyang Zhenjun, and the others sighed softly.

Private room number 312.

Gu Xuanyou wasn't confident that he would be selected, but he was stunned when he saw Chen Changge walk out of the secret passage with the attendant!
Then his eyes lit up with unbelievable joy!

He stood up abruptly, his usual composure almost crumbling, his voice trembling slightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen? You..."

The elders beside him were dumbfounded, their faces filled with uncontrollable excitement and ecstasy!

An elderly man with white hair even exclaimed in a low voice, "It's done?! The Xu family actually chose us?!"

Chen Changge smiled and bowed respectfully: "City Lord, elders, congratulations! It was your Ancient You City that won the bid for the heartwood of this ten-thousand-year-old 'Awakening Spirit Tree'."

"Is this actually true?!"

Gu Xuanyou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his turbulent emotions.

His eyes gleamed with a mixture of elation at achieving his goal and deep confusion and wariness.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, if I may be so bold, is it true that the bid from my Ancient You City is not the most competitive one?"

"Indeed, in terms of the items quoted by various companies, Ancient You City ranks third!"

"Then why choose my Ancient You City?"

Gu Xuanyou grew increasingly suspicious; he believed that nothing in heaven comes for free!
Chen Changge's expression turned serious, his smile vanished, and he solemnly said, "Actually, the transaction is not truly complete at this point. You still need to agree to three conditions regarding your offer for Guyou City."

If you agree, this opportunity to form your Nascent Soul will truly belong to your Ancient Nether City!

Gu Xuanyou's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his hand to signal Chen Changge to speak freely: "Please speak, I am all ears."

“First,” Chen Changge extended his index finger, “after the transaction is completed, please ask the ancient city lord to stay in Yunxi City for the time being and cultivate in seclusion in my Yunxi City until you achieve the Nascent Soul stage or fail.”

An elder from the ancient city frowned and asked, "Is the Xu family trying to detain him?"

Chen Changge glanced at him but ignored him. Instead, he looked directly at Gu Xuanyou and continued, "My Xu family patriarch has said that this item is hard-won and we absolutely do not want it to benefit others."

The Greedy Wolf Sect, the Heavenly Azure Sect, the Mo family, and even the Sima family will surely conduct extensive investigations and probes afterward.

If the city lord were to return to Ancient Nether City with the treasure, the journey would be long and fraught with uncertainties. Given Ancient Nether City's current strength, it would be difficult to guarantee its safety.

Only by staying in Yunxi City and using the power of my Xu family and the Supreme Elder of Moyue to deter the villains can the city lord focus wholeheartedly on his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Lord of the city, do you understand this meaning?"

Gu Xuanyou raised his eyes slightly, quite surprised.

The Xu family actually wants to protect me until I reach the Nascent Soul stage?!

My ancient Youcheng has no connection with the Xu family, so why are they doing this?

But upon closer reflection, Chen Changge's words were not untrue.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Taking the "Awakening Tree" wood heart with him from Yunxi City is like a child carrying gold in the market—extremely risky.

The Xu family's suggestion is entirely beneficial to Guyou City.

If they wanted to harm us, why would we need to make this deal with Ancient You City?

After weighing the options for a long time, Gu Xuanyou slowly nodded and said in a deep voice, "That makes sense."

For the sake of the Great Dao, I, Gu, agree, but only to provide a secluded place for cultivation…

"Rest assured, City Lord, it is a top-tier cave dwelling with abundant spiritual energy, perfect restrictions, and absolutely no outside interference. Yunxi City will not restrict your freedom during your seclusion."

Chen Changge immediately made a promise, "But do not leave Yunxi City, and we will not serve as your bodyguards, City Lord."

"This reward is something Guyou City cannot afford right now!"

“Of course!” Gu Xuanyou said, “May I ask what the second condition is?”

Chen Changge said calmly, "If the city lord achieves Nascent Soul in the future, the city lord should go and cause trouble for the Greedy Wolf Sect. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Moreover, Guyou City guarantees that it will not covet Tiancang Mansion within a hundred years."

When the Greedy Wolf Sect was mentioned, a cold glint flashed in Gu Xuanyou's eyes, but a chilling smile appeared on his lips: "Even if Fellow Daoist Chen didn't say it, I, Gu, would still do it."

As for not infringing upon the heavens for a hundred years, that is also reasonable.

The war between the two governments has only just ended, and no one is so idle as to start a war every day.

I have the will, but not the ability.

"The city lord is straightforward." Chen Changge nodded, and continued, "Third, if my Xu family's business expands into the territory of the Greedy Wolf Prefecture in the future..."

If you happen to pass through the territory of Guyou City, I hope the city lord can do you a favor and not make things difficult for you.

After all, helping others is helping yourself.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuanyou was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what he meant and clapped his hands and laughed, "True Lord Ku Rong is far-sighted and insightful. I admire you!"

Given the current power of the Xu family, expansion is inevitable.

The nobles are willing to help me today, and my ancient city of You will repay them in the future.

If necessary, the Ascension Pavilion and other similar establishments can be developed within the territory of my Ancient Nether City.

As Fellow Daoist Chen said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Perhaps in the future, my Ancient You City will need to form an alliance with the Xu family to fight against our common foe!

"In that case, let's begin the transaction," Chen Changge said with a slight smile.

A few moments.

"Transaction complete. Congratulations, City Lord Gu! I wish you a speedy success in attaining the Nascent Soul stage!" Chen Changge offered his congratulations with clasped hands.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, and thank you, True Monarch Ku Rong, for your help!" Gu Xuanyou tightly gripped the jade box containing the wooden heart, his heart surging with emotion.

Chen Changge cupped his hands in greeting and then left through the hidden passage.

Return to the auction stage.

Chen Changge smiled and said, "The Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Awakening Tree has found its owner. This high-level trading conference is now over, and everyone may leave."

However, I have something to tell you all: if you are not confident that you can leave safely, you might as well stay in my Yunxi City for a while longer.

Furthermore, the "Yunxi Assembly" is not a one-time event; it will be held every sixty years thereafter. However, don't expect to have the opportunity to form a Nascent Soul.

I don't know how long it will be before I can get another one in Yunxi City!
That concludes my remarks. I, Chen, respectfully bid you farewell!

He bowed and clasped his hands in greeting towards the numerous private rooms.

"Humph!"

A cold snort came from private room number seven, clearly the voice of Qi Tianxiong.

"What, you're not satisfied with Yunxi City's choice?!" Mo Yue also unleashed his true dragon pressure, which penetrated the private room's restrictions and heavily struck everyone.

"If you want to fight, I'll gladly oblige. But I fear none of the men you brought will return alive!"

Mo Yue's words were true. With Mo Yue entangled with Qi Tianxiong, no one else in the Greedy Wolf Sect could rival Xu Chuan.

Moreover, if he makes a move, the Lei family, the Mo family, and Guyou City will all target the Greedy Wolf Sect together, and even the Heavenly Cang Sect will take the opportunity to kick him while he's down to avenge their past grievances!

"Your Xu family is quite good, but please don't let anyone from my Greedy Wolf Sect run into anyone from your Xu family outside."

"So what if we encounter them? With your Greedy Wolf Sect's meager resources, how many of them can actually fight?"

"let's go!"

Qi Tianxiong said no more and left openly with his men, without taking the secret passage at all.

As for the others, they all went through the hidden passage.

They greeted each other when they met in the passageway.

But what lies beneath that smile is hard to say.

Qi Tianxiong and his group quickly exited from the east gate of Yunxi City and stopped dozens of miles outside the city.

"I'll be waiting here for Old Ghost Xi. Even if I don't get the Nascent Soul opportunity, if I can obtain the vast wealth of the Heavenly Cang Sect, it will be a worthwhile trip."

As for the three of you, each of you will guard one of the remaining three city gates.

Apart from True Monarch Tianlang, the other two are also top-tier demonic cultivators at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, not far from the perfection of the Golden Core stage.

In terms of skill and strength, he is no weaker than a True Monarch-level expert who has mastered the seventh level of the Golden Core realm!

The people attending the high-level trading conference are all very shrewd old foxes.

With their vast wealth, they naturally exercised extreme caution.

Chen Changge then gave a special reminder.

The vast majority of people chose to settle down peacefully in Yunxi City.

Only the Mo family and the Tiancang Sect left directly.

“Let’s go through the west gate!” Xi Daoyun said.

"Yes, Supreme Elder!"

As soon as they left the west gate, Xi Daoyun used his escape technique to sweep the two of them away.

Qi Tianxiong immediately went after him.
