Chapter 540: Counting the Harvest, the Seventh-Order Auction Officially Begins

A few days later.

A stream of light crossed the sky and fell into Dongxuan City from afar.

Finally, this stream of light turned into a figure on Wanling Mountain, holding a picture scroll with flowing mountains and rivers in both hands, and bowed respectfully to Ye Qingxuan's back: "The Gui Sect has been destroyed, this subordinate Xue Yu has come to report!"

This figure was Xue Yu, who had been ordered by Ye Qingxuan to go to the Dongji Province to destroy the Gui Sect, and had just returned to Dongxuan City.

Hearing Xue Yu's words, Ye Qingxuan turned around, smiled, and reached out to beckon lightly.

The next second, Ye Qingxuan's natal magic treasure, the World Map, floated up from Xue Yu's hands and landed in Ye Qingxuan's hand.

His spiritual sense surged into the World Map to grope for a moment, and he took out a long spear that was humming slightly and surrounded by ice rules.

Then, under the control of Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense, this long spear pushed slightly and floated in front of Xue Yu, and Ye Qingxuan then spoke:

"You have worked hard on this trip. You comprehended the Ice Mystery Rule when you broke through to the Void Penetration Realm. This Two-Star Lower-grade Spirit Treasure that also contains the Ice Mystery Rule is bestowed upon you as a reward for your mission this time."

Hearing this, Xue Yu looked at the long spear floating in front of him with slight excitement, took a deep breath, and did not refuse. He took the long spear with both hands and thanked:

"Xue Yu thanks the City Lord for bestowing the treasure!"

Since breaking through to the Void Penetration Realm, this was the first Lower-grade Spirit Treasure he had obtained.

Although there were Lower-grade Spirit Treasures that could be exchanged in the exchange list of Dongxuan City's core members, the contribution points he had accumulated were temporarily not enough to exchange for a Lower-grade Spirit Treasure.

Looking at Xue Yu's excited appearance, Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and said indifferently: "Alright, you don't need to be so polite."

"Luo Tian has already gone to the Southern Barbarian Region one step ahead. You go back first and prepare for the upcoming Seventh-Order auction with Bai Shuqing and the others."

"After the Seventh-Order auction ends, you and Bai Shuqing can go to other great regions of the Di Xuan Realm to practice."

"Go down!"

"Yes, City Lord!"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's instructions, Xue Yu immediately responded and then turned and left Wanling Mountain.

After Xue Yu left, Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, and more than a dozen storage rings flew out of the World Map, floating in front of Ye Qingxuan.

Besides these more than a dozen storage rings, the World Map in Ye Qingxuan's hand was also piled with countless various middle and low-order cultivation resources.

These middle and low-order cultivation resources, and the more than a dozen storage rings floating in front of Ye Qingxuan, were all spoils of war that he had taken advantage of his spiritual sense power to loot when his natal magic treasure, the World Map, destroyed the Gui Sect.

Among the more than a dozen storage rings, one of the storage rings belonged to the Void Penetration Realm mid-stage powerhouse Xue Yu, whom Ye Qingxuan had suppressed not long ago.

It was just that with Ye Qingxuan's current cultivation base, the family fortune of a Void Penetration Realm powerhouse could no longer arouse his interest, so Ye Qingxuan did not count it immediately after collecting Xue Yu's storage ring.

Now that Xue Yu had returned, all the resources of the Gui Sect belonged to Ye Qingxuan, and Ye Qingxuan finally raised a bit of interest to check the harvest this time.

His heart stirred, he took out everything in the more than a dozen storage rings in front of him, and then under the control of his spiritual sense, he quickly classified them.

In just a few breaths, Ye Qingxuan had counted them all.

After destroying the Gui Sect this time, he harvested a total of:

Nearly one million Lower-grade Spirit Crystals, five thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals, and five great mountains of spirit stones of various grades.

Among them, the storage ring of the Gui Sect's Void Penetration Realm peak powerhouse alone contributed more than half of the spirit crystals and spirit stones for Ye Qingxuan.

Besides this, not counting the Lower-grade Spirit Treasure already bestowed upon Xue Yu, Ye Qingxuan also harvested twelve Lower-grade Spirit Treasures this time.

Among the twelve Lower-grade Spirit Treasures.

There were nine attack types and only three defense types.

One Three-Star Lower-grade Spirit Treasure, three Two-Star Lower-grade Spirit Treasures, and eight One-Star Lower-grade Spirit Treasures.

Except for the Three-Star Lower-grade Spirit Treasure which was a spirit treasure of the Lightning Mystery Rule, the other eleven Lower-grade Spirit Treasures contained mystery rules that basically belonged to the Five Elements.

Secondly, besides spirit crystals, spirit stones, and spirit treasures, there were also a large number of Seventh-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures, more than ten Seventh-Order talismans that were too late to be used, and a small number of Seventh-Order elixirs in the resources of these storage rings.

"The harvest this time is not bad."

Looking at the various resources floating in the air, emitting various spiritual lights, Ye Qingxuan nodded with satisfaction.

The harvest from the destruction this time, although it did not help his strength much, greatly enriched his treasure vault.

Especially the twelve newly added Lower-grade Spirit Treasures, which could allow the Void Penetration Realm cultivators under his command to have more choices when exchanging for Lower-grade Spirit Treasures in the future.

According to the current growth speed of the cultivators under his command, with these twelve newly added Lower-grade Spirit Treasures, it was enough to support the spirit treasure exchange treasure vault in the exchange system he set up for a long time.

After counting, Ye Qingxuan waved his hand to put these resources away again, and then his figure disappeared from Wanling Mountain.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, another two years have passed.

And in these two years, the news that Dongxuan City destroyed the Gui Sect with just one spirit treasure had already spread throughout the entire Star Fall Province.

Once this news spread, it instantly shocked the forces of the entire Star Fall Province, especially those very few forces that had transferred their foundation to the Dongji Province.

They established themselves in the Dongji Province, so naturally, they knew the strength of the Gui Sect that had spread in the Dongji Province.

So after learning that Dongxuan City destroyed the entire Gui Sect with just one spirit treasure, the shock brought to these forces far exceeded other forces.

While shocked, the many forces in Star Fall Province also became more and more wary of Dongxuan City, making these forces even more determined to transfer their development focus and stay away from Star Fall Province to rebuild their foundation.

Those low-order loose cultivators who chose to flee Dongxuan City before because of various remarks unfavorable to Dongxuan City were even more regretful after hearing these news.

Some of them with thick skin even wanted to return to Dongxuan City, but they were all rejected by Dongxuan City.

Especially under Ye Qingxuan's idea of clearing out many loose cultivators in Dongxuan City, how could he let these loose cultivators who had already gone far away return to Dongxuan City to settle down? Now, Dongxuan City, except for the cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City who can enter and exit at will.

Other cultivators who want to enter Dongxuan City, without an invitation and without relatively special circumstances, are already extremely difficult.

Nowadays, Dongxuan City's prestige is no longer limited to Star Fall Province.

After the Gui Sect was destroyed by Dongxuan City, more than a dozen great provinces near Star Fall Province and more than a dozen great provinces near the Dongji Province have all begun to spread various legends about Dongxuan City.

While various legends about Dongxuan City spread in the provinces of the Dongji Region, they also let the forces of each province understand the strength of Dongxuan City's main city.

This indirectly allowed the branch cities newly built by Dongxuan City in these great provinces to have their status steadily improved.

Coupled with the fact that Dongxuan City's branch cities followed the development policy formulated by Ye Qingxuan, did not participate in disputes between local forces, and focused on commerce.

Therefore, Dongxuan City's many branch cities did not arouse the wariness of the top forces in these great provinces. Under these circumstances, the safety of Dongxuan City's newly built branch cities in the provinces of the Dongji Region increased significantly.

Dongxuan City's branch cities developing steadily in the provinces of the Dongji Region was within Ye Qingxuan's expectations. So after the development of Dongxuan City's major branch cities was on the right track, Ye Qingxuan no longer focused his attention on the development of these branch cities.

The many cultivators cultivated by Dongxuan City over the years were enough to share his worries and support the development of major branch cities.

And Ye Qingxuan's current mind was on the Seventh-Order auction that was about to be held in Star Fall Dongxuan City.

Although he would not show up for this Seventh-Order auction.

But this did not mean that he did not pay attention to this Seventh-Order auction, especially by taking advantage of this auction, Dongxuan City wanted to take the entire Star Fall Province into its pocket.

Unlike the bustling auctions in the past.

Because most of the middle and high-order cultivators in Star Fall Province had already stayed away from Star Fall Province to seek other development.

The many loose cultivators in Dongxuan City had also been cleared out.

Coupled with the high threshold of Dongxuan City's Seventh-Order auction this time.

This caused Dongxuan City's auction this time to appear very deserted.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

When the time for the Seventh-Order auction was about to begin, cultivators began to fly in one after another from outside Dongxuan City.

The number of cultivators who came to Dongxuan City to participate in the auction this time was extremely small, not even twenty.

But these cultivators, without exception, were all Void Penetration Realm magnates.

This time, the major forces in Star Fall Province did not send all their Void Penetration Realm powerhouses to Dongxuan City's auction. Basically, each force only sent two or three Void Penetration Realm powerhouses.

After arriving above Dongxuan City one after another.

Xing Konghao and Xing Zejun of Star Fall City, Liu Long of the Feiyu Sect and an early-stage Void Penetration Realm elder, Cheng Yuan of the Huangji Sect... and others, all paused for a moment.

Subconsciously, they cast their gazes toward the spiritual mountain with five-colored luster flowing below, and a look of wariness appeared in their eyes.

How could they not be wary of a spiritual mountain that could thoroughly suppress a Void Penetration Realm mid-stage magnate?

After carefully observing the spiritual mountain with five-colored rosy clouds flowing below, the ancestor of Star Fall City, Xing Konghao, seemed to have sensed something, his pupils constricted, and he said in shock:

"This... this is actually transformed by the Five Elements Mystery Rules?"

Hearing Xing Konghao's words, other Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in the field also exclaimed one after another:

"What? Five Elements Mystery Rules?"

They might only be able to comprehend one of the Five Elements Mystery Rules in their entire lives.

Now that they were suddenly told that someone could comprehend all the Five Elements Mystery Rules, how could they not be shocked?

After taking a deep breath, Xing Konghao ignored the shock of others and looked into the depths of Dongxuan City, saying faintly:

"Dongxuan City Lord? What a profound foundation!"

At this time, Bai Shuqing's figure slowly appeared, looking at the group of Void Penetration Realm powerhouses outside Dongxuan City, and smiled slightly:

"Everyone, please!"

As early as when these Void Penetration Realm cultivators arrived outside Dongxuan City, he had already sensed it.

The reason why he appeared only now was nothing more than that Bai Shuqing wanted to use the spiritual mountain transformed by the Five Elements Mystery Rules below to deter everyone, so as to facilitate the smooth progress of Dongxuan City's next plan.

While speaking, Bai Shuqing's heart stirred, and he opened an entrance and exit for the Seventh-Order Star Dou Great Array barrier in front of everyone.

Ever since Dongxuan City entered a closed state, except for the cultivators belonging to Dongxuan City who could enter and exit at will by relying on the Dongxuan Token.

Other foreign cultivators could not enter Dongxuan City without permission.

So Bai Shuqing specifically came out to welcome these people who came to participate in the auction.

Looking at Bai Shuqing's figure, the more than a dozen Void Penetration Realm powerhouses who had already arrived outside Dongxuan City secretly exchanged a few words, and finally spoke in unison:

"Let's go!"

Facing the current Dongxuan City, only by uniting together could they feel slightly at ease.

After entering Dongxuan City, these Void Penetration Realm powerhouses looked at the very quiet Dongxuan City and sensed that the cultivators in Dongxuan City were already one in a thousand, and doubts arose in their hearts.

After all, even if the loose cultivators gathered in Dongxuan City before had left Dongxuan City, the cultivators in Dongxuan City should not be so few, right? Obviously, although these Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in Star Fall Province knew that Dongxuan City had established branch cities in other great provinces, they did not know the specific number of Dongxuan City's branch cities.

Coupled with the fact that the core members of Dongxuan City had basically gone to other great provinces to practice, Star Fall Dongxuan City could appear so quiet.

Due to Dongxuan City's prestige, these Void Penetration Realm powerhouses, although they had doubts in their hearts, did not ask more.

Instead, they honestly followed behind Bai Shuqing and entered the "Dongxuan Dongxuan Fudi" opened in the mountain body of Wanling Mountain.

At this time, in the center of the "Dongxuan Dongxuan Fudi," on the high platform, Xue Yu and Li Mu had already been waiting on the auction stage.

After arranging for everyone to take their seats, Bai Shuqing also flew toward the auction stage and landed behind Li Mu, standing side by side with Xue Yu.

For this auction, neither Bai Shuqing nor Xue Yu had the idea of hosting it personally, so they simply let Li Mu host it, and they stood for Li Mu.

Anyway, the plan to acquire the stations of major forces in Star Fall Province after the auction was also proposed by Li Mu and handed over to Li Mu for implementation.

Watching the more than a dozen Void Penetration Realm powerhouses sitting below staring at him, Li Mu felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, this was Dongxuan City's home court, and coupled with the fact that Bai Shuqing and Xue Yu were standing behind him now, this made him not feel flustered when facing the gaze of more than a dozen Void Penetration Realm powerhouses.

After stabilizing the emotions in his heart, Li Mu then spoke loudly:

"Dongxuan City's Seventh-Order auction officially begins."

"This auction will be settled with spirit stones and Green Demon clan resources together. The bidding price must be paid with at least fifty percent of Green Demon Realm resources, according to the current market price. Does anyone have any objections?"

Hearing Li Mu's words, the many Void Penetration Realm powerhouses in the field did not raise any objections.

When they received the auction invitation, they already knew the bidding rules for this Seventh-Order auction.

So before coming, they had already brought all the Green Demon Realm resources accumulated by their force's inventory over the years.

Pausing for a moment, seeing no one raise any objections, Li Mu waved his hand and took out a Green Demon clan corpse and placed it floating beside the high platform, and said loudly:

"The first item, a corpse of a Void Penetration Realm early-stage Green Demon clan member, starting price is ten million Supreme-grade Spirit Stones."
