"What do they need so much money for?" Long Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.
Zhao Yang chuckled and replied, "No one in this world ever thinks they have too much money. It's just that in the world of cultivators, money isn't that important. But imagine, if one day we all lost our cultivation and became ordinary people, where status is no longer measured by strength but by wealth..."
"What is it, Junior Brother?" Song Baliang noticed Zhao Yang hesitating, as if he had recalled something.
"Nothing," Zhao Yang shook his head. "I must be overthinking."
"One hundred fifty thousand Red Essence Stones," another aging voice chimed in.
Only those who had awakened during the Tribulation Period could offer such a price. Even the wealthiest figures in the current cultivation world would find it difficult to produce such wealth.
In the end, the Millennium Dragon's Spittle Grass was sold for three Purple Essence Stones, but surprisingly, it was purchased by a young man sitting in the last row.
When the auction house staff requested the cloaked youth to pay with his Essence Stones, everyone around scrambled to pull out their own Essence Stones to hand over to the auction house personnel collecting them.
Some were puzzled but said nothing; after all, some young masters from royal cities possessed such wealth. Perhaps their ancestors had revived and bestowed upon them vast fortunes to compete for the Holy Medicine, accompanied by numerous attendants.
After witnessing the sale of the Dragon's Spittle Grass, an elder on stage spoke up: "Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of the Dragon's Spittle Grass wishes to reveal a secret to the winner of this auction."
The elder glanced backstage, and a figure clad in a Ritual Robe appeared. Upon seeing this person, not only Long Xiao Wu but even Zhao Yang clenched their fists.
"The High Priest, Wu Rong!"
It was this cunning and malicious high priest who had injured Xuanbing Buddha and fled, lurking in the cultivation world with plans to seize others' True Qi and plot against the entire dragon clan, intending to refine them into Dragon Pills to become The Number One in the World.
The high priest scanned Zhao Yang and his companions before turning his beaming smile towards everyone at the auction house. "Dear friends, when I initially brought forth the Dragon's Spittle Grass for auction, I promised to share a secret with its new owner. Indeed, this Dragon's Spittle Grass comes from the Dragon Domain, and I have already discovered its entrance!"
At this declaration, an uproar erupted! This was utterly shocking; no one had ever known the exit of the Dragon Domain. It was rumored to contain countless treasures and secrets of Ascend to Immortality!
"Xiao Wu, calm down," Zhao Yang and Nangong Wuxin restrained the agitated Long Xiao Wu.
Long Xiao Wu's expression darkened as she said, "He must be about to reveal the entrance to the Dragon Domain here. Now that countless Old Monsters are excited about it due to Ginseng King’s surprise—there are at least ten or eight Transcendence Stage Experts present with my father among them—they simply cannot enter. But my Dragon Ancestor has already ascended to the heavenly realm. If thousands of experts flood into the Dragon Domain, how can it possibly remain unscathed?"
"If you cause a scene now, not only will that old fellow kill you, but your dragon form will also be exposed. At that point, there will be more than just him wanting to hunt dragons. Don't forget that you already have a dragon pearl forming inside you—it's even more precious than Holy Medicine!" Zhao Yang warned.
Long Xiao Wu sat down angrily, gritting her teeth.
The High Priest appeared calm and composed as he said, "The entrance to the Dragon Domain is located beneath the Heavenly Tree!"
"Beneath the Heavenly Tree in the territory of the Demon Empress?" a cultivator exclaimed.
"Indeed, the demon race has fallen into decline. Only one Demon Empress is a master of the Tribulation Period; the rest are mere minions. If we can unite, we can push down the Heavenly Tree, destroy the demon race, and enter the Dragon Domain. At that time, there will be countless Holy Medicines and treasures for us to claim."
"Friend, your Divine Power is remarkable, and your cultivation is extremely high. You must be an unparalleled master of the Tribulation Period. I sense you are gravely injured; you must have fought fiercely with the Demon Empress. It is rumored that she is currently the strongest in Combat Power," an old monster of the Tribulation Period questioned the High Priest.
"That is not true. The strongest in Combat Power today is said to be Consort of Rain, while others claim it is the Eastern Wilderness Sword Elder or even the royal family's Old God General. However, King of Participation Becomes a Saint and Heavenly Herb Immortal have awakened countless formidable predecessors from their slumber; they were once invincible figures in their time. Why should we fear these inexperienced juniors? As long as we go together, who in this world cannot be swept away? The demon territory is filled with treasures, and within the Dragon Domain, Holy Medicines abound. Why should all things in this world not be enjoyed by everyone?"
"Zhao Yang, the entrance to the Dragon Domain is not beneath the Heavenly Tree," Long Xiao Wu sensed something was amiss and whispered to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang frowned and replied, "This old fool wants to deal with the demon race first; it's truly despicable. The Five Elements Continent is in chaos, countless Transcendence Stage Experts have made life unbearable for the common people, and they suffer greatly. The demon race at the borders is watching closely; it seems even they cannot escape this disaster. After the auction ends, we should inform the Demon Empress to prepare for the impending war. The High Priest's cultivation is too high; it will be difficult for us to thwart his schemes alone."
The others understood that Zhao Yang had been saved by the Demon Empress and shared a close bond with her, so they all nodded in agreement.
Soon, the sixth item, seventh item... up to the twentieth item was auctioned off. Among them were Holy Medicines and Supreme Dao Artifacts, with prices that were astonishingly high—very few in this era could afford them.
As the auction concluded, Zhao Yang, Long Xiao Wu, Nangong Wuxin, Song Baliang, and Scholar Xiu stood up to leave. However, at that moment, Zhao Yang suddenly felt an immense mental force sweep over them. He then realized that everyone's eyes below the Tribulation Period had turned a strange red!
"Prepare to teleport; Yuan Lie is here," Zhao Yang warned.
"Please wait a moment; my master has something to say," two old men in the Ascendant stage blocked Zhao Yang and his companions with their glowing red eyes.
Yuan Lie laughed heartily as he stepped onto the stage and said, "Everyone, please do not rush to leave. I am Yuan Lie, and I have one more item for you all to see."
"If it’s a good Holy Medicine, bring it out quickly! Don’t waste our time; otherwise, you’ll regret it!" an old monster of the Tribulation Period threatened.
Yuan Lie smirked and replied, "The current cultivation world is experiencing an unprecedented era since ancient times. Since humanity's inception and even during the Ancient Immortal period, never have there been so many Transcendence Stage Experts. Today you awaken because of King of Participation Becomes a Saint and Heavenly Herb Immortal's prophecy. My auction item is none other than Zhao Yang—the bearer of Ginseng King!"
Yuan Lie lifted his cloak and revealed a man with fiery red hair and starry eyes beneath it. He pointed at one of five cloaked youths and proclaimed loudly, "He is the one you all dream of finding! The bearer of Ginseng King—Zhao Yang! Next to him is also a person—the son of the Dragon Clan leader. Capture him, and you will gain unhindered access to the Dragon Domain!"
Upon hearing Yuan Lie's words, an elderly Tribulation Stage Old Monster gently opened his palm. The cloaks of Zhao Yang's group in front shattered completely, revealing their true forms.
"Yuan Lie, are you not afraid that I will kill you before I die?" Zhao Yang glared at Yuan Lie defiantly.
Yuan Lie laughed heartily and said, "The Transform into Sheep Technique can take anyone's life, but with so many experts present today, who will you kill first? Will it be me, or that hiding Grand Priest, or perhaps the old fool who attacked you first during the Tribulation Period? No matter whom you choose to kill first, your fate is sealed today!"
"What has Zhao Yang done to you that you must kill him?" Song Baliang questioned Yuan Lie. As Zhao Yang's senior brother, he could see that they were in grave danger.
"Ha ha, why?" Yuan Lie laughed maniacally. "Without Zhao Yang, who would know of my existence? Do you know that ever since the Heavenly Mechanism Mountain Battle four years ago, countless Hidden Gate experts and formidable foes have pursued me for thousands of miles? They are not doing this for the sake of the world; they are after the Forbidden Technique controlled by the Primordial Spirit! They even found my hometown and left no one alive there! A village of over three thousand people was wiped out! They claim to be saving the world, but it's a joke. You want to save everyone while they only think about killing you! Now that our identities are all exposed, I want to see whether the world will kill you or me!" Yuan Lie's expression was frenzied.
"So you are the one who cultivated the first Forbidden Technique, Yuan Lie. I didn't expect you to grow so powerful in just a few years. As a person of this era, I shall eliminate you today!" an elderly man with white hair declared before transforming into a beam of white light and shooting towards Yuan Lie.
Yuan Lie narrowed his eyes slightly as a strange red light flashed across them. Suddenly, two Purple-Clad Monks beside the elder moved, each wielding a sword aimed at him.
With a slash!
The elder was cut into three pieces and fell to the ground. The Primordial Infant floated in mid-air, his face filled with terror. "Junior brother, junior sister? You have both been controlled!"
The elder was a master at the Great Perfection of the Mahayana Stage. Despite his precautions, he had never guarded against his most trusted junior siblings and ended up suffering a tragic fate.
A scream echoed as the Golden Nascent Soul was captured by a Transcendence Stage Daoist from the Auction House. The Daoist swallowed it whole and burped contentedly. "Though your cultivation is decent, the taste leaves much to be desired." After finishing off the Primordial Infant, he pointed at Zhao Yang and said, "Kid, hand over the Ginseng King, and I can guarantee your safety."
Zhao Yang chuckled and replied, "With so many seniors from the Tribulation Period here, everyone wants the Ginseng King. If I give it to you alone, what will happen to them?"
"Ha ha ha! Good question! I admire your spirit; even when your life is in danger, you still care for others. But they can only watch helplessly because none of them can defeat me. I am the Five Elements True Man from six thousand years ago," the old Dao Artifact Yu Xuanang proclaimed proudly.
