Covering the Sky: I am the White Tiger Immortal Elixir

The news that eight ancient royal family members were to be auctioned off spread like wildfire throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

Even the Northern Plains and Central Continent received the news that cultivators had crossed the domain gate to arrive.

This is a great secret from the ancient times, and it also contains the opportunity to sever the Dao.

Whoever obtains an ancient royal member will be the first to glimpse the secrets of the Dao.

Moreover, what if those eight ancient beings also possessed Dao-Slaying King-level weapons?

Some curious cultivators have already begun referring to the forces that acquired the ancient royal family's property as the Eight Heroes.

Although the term sounds sour, it's enough to illustrate the influence of this auction.

It's no longer possible to use another three million jin of Yuan to bid for the ancient royal family.

As for why it's eight heroes instead of nine, we'll have to wait until Wan Chu and Dao Yi finish their fight to find out.

Undercurrents are stirring in the holy city.

All major factions are urgently mobilizing resources.

At the same time, they were also pressing the owner of Lihuaxuan for information about the seller.

Duan De, the Celestial Master who had risen to fame in the Holy City, was treated as an honored guest.

Without knowing the seller's identity, this person is the most likely to uncover the ancient royal family again.

The owner of Lihuaxuan was driven to desperation and refused to reveal the seller's identity no matter what.

The owner of Lihuaxuan is suffering.

Master Duan is currently in the Holy City. Revealing his identity would be tantamount to digging one's own grave.

But the more he kept quiet, the more pressure he faced from the holy land families and even the various schools of thought.

"Master Lihua, if you just reveal the seller's identity, my Ji family will guarantee your safety for life."

"My sacred land of Yao Guang is also willing to provide you with protection."

"Stop running this Lihua Pavilion, come to my Dao Yi Holy Land and become a guest elder."

One after another, these behemoths exerted pressure, making grand promises, yet their words carried an undeniable air of authority.

The owner of Lihua Pavilion was covered in cold sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Esteemed seniors, it's not that I'm unwilling to speak, but rather that I truly dare not speak now."

The old monsters from various factions exchanged glances.

If you don't dare to say it now, it means you can say it later.

The living fossil of the Ji family smiled meaningfully and stopped asking questions.

The old monsters present were all shrewd and intelligent; how could they not hear the hidden meaning in those words?

The reason I dare not speak out now is simply because the seller is still in the holy city, and I am afraid of retaliation if I do.

Once the seller left, Li Huaxuan's owner naturally had no more worries.

"Since that's the case, we won't force you." The old monsters left.

The owner of Lihuaxuan repeatedly clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you all for your understanding."

He knew perfectly well what these old monsters were up to.

It's simply a matter of waiting until the auction ends and the seller leaves the Holy City with Yuan, then intercepting them on the way.

Otherwise, why would they bring holy soldiers to the holy city?

The owner of Lihua Pavilion sighed inwardly.

Master Duan, I have done everything I can to buy you time.

The auction began, and the venue was packed with people, with no seats available.

"Five million catties of pure ore!" The Ji family was the first to call out a price.

The Holy Land of Yao Guang sneered, "Eight million catties!"

"Ten million!"

"Six million plus a Saint Lord-level forbidden artifact!"

Prices soared at an alarming rate, with each price increase enough to bankrupt an ordinary cultivator.

Ultimately, the third ancient creature was acquired by the Ji family.

This is a woman with jet-black hair, whose appearance is no different from that of a human, and who appears to be simply asleep.

She was won by the Ji family with eight million catties of pure source energy, plus three Saint Lord-level forbidden artifacts.

This price set a benchmark for later prices.

The six ancient royal figures that followed each fetched prices ranging from eight million catties, plus various accessories.

Only the last one had the highest price, and it was auctioned off for ten million kilograms of pure source material.

The list of the eight heroes was quickly released.

The Ji family, Yaoguang family, Dayan family, Wang family, Wanchu family, Daoyi family, Golden family, and Jiang family.

That's right, Wan Chu and Dao Yi have joined the bidding again.

These two star-crossed lovers ultimately couldn't make it work.

They reunited and together photographed an ancient creature.

It's not that other forces can't offer a better price.

According to the owner of Lihuaxuan, these eight items were additional products that received the seller's approval.

Bai Qi glanced up at Jiang Taixu.

Jiang Taixu remained expressionless.

Bai Qi secretly handed Jiang Taixu some divine resources: "We're on the same side, we can't let each other suffer losses."

Jiang Taixu shook his head: "Let them lose face once, and I'll use that as an excuse to clean up the mess when I get back."

Bai Qi understood and said no more.

The auction ended, but the excitement in the holy city was far from over.

In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, everyone was talking about this unprecedented event.

In particular, members of various sects were waiting outside Lihua Pavilion for the seller to come and collect the goods.

Once they know who the seller is, the Eight Heroes Sect is prepared to take drastic measures to reclaim what belongs to them.

They didn't care about the seller's identity because the seller was unlikely to be a member of any yakuza group.

If it were an extremely powerful force, would it really stoop to auctioning off an ancient royal family?

Therefore, this seller must be some small, lucky force, or even just a rogue cultivator.

It might have been unearthed from some ancient ruin, and since it couldn't use it itself, it was brought out to exchange for resources.

Such a person, killing him is no big deal.

Of course, if the seller is truly capable, they wouldn't mind trying a different way of dealing with them.

This has always been the case in the cultivation world.

If you are weak, you are like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

If you are strong, you will be an honored guest, a prized commodity that all forces will vie to win over.

As for fairness?

Might makes right.

Bai Qi disguised himself as a waiter at Lihuaxuan and entered.

"Master Duan!" Upon seeing Bai Qi, the owner of Lihua Pavilion nearly knelt down on the spot: "You've finally arrived!"

"I don't want the commission anymore. I can't hide your identity anymore, so please leave now!"

Bai Qi glanced at the owner of Lihua Pavilion with surprise.

This old man is actually a bit more kind-hearted than he imagined.

He originally thought that the owner of Lihua Pavilion would sell his identity to those noble families in the holy land as soon as possible in order to protect himself.

I never expected this person to have held on until now.

"Calculate the commission exactly as it should be," Bai Qi said, doing the accounting.

The auction of ten ancient creatures yielded approximately 75 million catties of pure source, along with various treasures and materials, amounting to an astronomical sum.

Because of the kindness of the owner of Lihuaxuan, Bai Qinian took the initiative to increase his commission.

Each entity does not settle accounts entirely with pure sources, but rather with a mixture of heterogeneous sources and even divine sources.

Bai Qi allocated seven million catties of pure source and gave the owner of Lihua Pavilion two forbidden artifacts of the Holy Lord.

"You've taken care of me for so many days, I, Duan De, am not ungrateful. After I leave for three days, you can say what you need to say; your life is more important."

"Let me give you a heads-up. A new pharmacy will appear in the Holy City soon, and the owner is a dog. Go and join them."

The owner of Lihua Pavilion's eyes reddened slightly: "Master Duan is benevolent and righteous!"

Bai Qi left and went to find the Black Emperor.

"I'll give you ten million catties of pure source." He stunned the Black Emperor with his words: "I have a path in the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. It's risky, but the profit is very high. I can continuously obtain divine spring water."

"I'll entrust these sacred springs to you to manage in the Holy City. From now on, you'll get three and I'll get seven of the profits."

Bai Qicai didn't care how much kickback that bastard Black Emperor would take.

Anyway, he has no costs.

If Black Emperor wants to continue operating, it must provide real money as dividends.

After all, only Bai Qi could obtain a stable supply of divine spring water.

As for whether this scoundrel will abscond with the money?

Bai Qi is truly not afraid.

There aren't many places in this world where the Black Emperor would willingly stay and never leave, but Bai Qi is one of them.

That bastard has already started speculating about the ancient Heavenly Court.

With this suspicion in mind, Bai Qi was no longer afraid that the Black Emperor would run away.

Black King patted his chest and assured him, his dog face showing a "don't worry" expression.

Bai Qi was too lazy to waste words with him, and he and Jiang Taixu pretended again before leaving the Holy City.

Three days later, the various sects that remained in the holy city were shaken.

The seller who auctioned off the ancient organisms was none other than Duan De, the Source Master who was making waves in the Holy City!

After learning the seller's identity, Zhu Daotong sighed.

Master Yuan is someone we cannot afford to offend.

"Enough," the old monster of the Ji family sighed, "Let's take the ancient royal family back and study them."

"If you ever encounter Master Duan in the future, remember to show him respect and treat him with courtesy."

The Ji family disciples all agreed, saying, "Seeing him is like seeing a clan elder; we will certainly not be negligent!"

The eight wronged beings departed one after another, wanting to return and study the ancient creatures that Bai Qi had planted with the Emperor's Killing Array.
