Chapter 2206: Coming to stock up on goods?

Looking at this bottle of Ascension Pill, Qi Xiong unhesitatingly called out a price.

And the others remained silent, with no one speaking.

After all, this Ascension Pill thing is just somewhat awkward.

First, the materials needed to refine it are not cheap, which makes the Ascension Pill impossible to be inexpensive anywhere.

At least they cost tens of thousands of immortal crystals.

Moreover, the Ascension Pill has a single effect, it does little for cultivation, and only Ancestor Realm cultivators need it.

And in the Immortal Realm, Ancestor Realm cultivators aside from whether they have that many immortal crystals, even if they do, some relying on their own talent can also break through successfully, needing no Ascension Pill.

As for those wealthy powerhouses, they have no interest in the Ascension Pill at all; buying it to eat as candy would be tasteless.

So, the Ascension Pill is quite awkward.

Moreover, speaking of auctioning off a bottle of Ascension Pill in one go, aside from the high price, who would buy it for whom?

Thinking of the situation of Dao One Immortal Sect, this is probably unique even in the Immortal Realm; after all, Qi Xiong and his senior brothers are from the Lower Realm, and the Immortal Realm cannot find a second.

Precisely for this reason, no one competed with Qi Xiong for the bid, and he easily secured this bottle of Ascension Pill.

He then spent another five hundred thousand immortal crystals; next up was the third treasure, a stalk of Immortal-grade spiritual plant.

Planted within a family or sect for cultivation, it can increase the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and it can also bear spiritual fruit; consuming it greatly benefits one's cultivation.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong's eyes lit up as well—what a fine thing.

He immediately called out a price again; after some competition, Qi Xiong obtained this spiritual plant for six hundred thousand immortal crystals.

Next came the fourth treasure, a fine thing; Qi Xiong spoke up.

One after another, these treasures were, in Qi Xiong's view, all useful, all fine things.

There's no helping it—who let the Dao One Immortal Sect lack everything except immortal crystals?

Relying on Ye Zhangqing's terrifying wealth‑gathering ability, the Dao One Immortal Sect is not short of immortal crystals, but it lacks foundation.

And what is foundation, if not these various types of treasures?

Medicinal pills, talisman seals, formation disks, dharma artifacts, cultivation treasure lands, and so on.

Therefore, in Qi Xiong's view, these things are exactly what the sect currently needs.

Since they are needed, naturally we must take them.

Watching treasure after treasure being taken by Qi Xiong, many people glanced at his private room with strange expressions.

Some people's mouths twitched, and they couldn't help muttering.

"Who is this, coming to stock up on goods?"

They have also attended many auctions, but they have never seen someone like this.

From the start until now, all treasures have been bought out—no matter what, they just take them.

"Is this an auction, or are you just strolling the market?"

"Which family's prodigal son is this?"

Most importantly, the grades and effects of these treasures differ vastly, heading in opposite directions.

Can one person possibly have so many needs at once? Impossible.

Besides doubt, some people also feel resentful, and naturally the first to feel this is Ultimate Bliss Palace.

At that moment, in the hall below, a disciple of Ultimate Bliss Palace coldly gazed at the private room where Qi Xiong and his companions were.

Others may not know the identity of the private room's owner, but as an organizer, this Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple naturally knows.

Watching Qi Xiong frantically sweep up purchases, this Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple couldn't help but feel his teeth itch.

"Not only do they dare to come here with audacious boldness, but they also act so recklessly, truly thinking that Ultimate Bliss Palace is a place where they can do as they please?"

However, because the Elder forbade them from seeking trouble with Dao One Immortal Sect, this disciple also dare not act openly.

Yet he feels resentful inside; his eyes darted, and soon this Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of a good plan.

He quickly found a fellow cultivator he was acquainted with, about the same age as himself.

This youth is named Liu Chengfeng, the young master of the Liu family.

And the Liu family happens to be an immortal clan affiliated with Ultimate Bliss Palace, so the two are thus acquainted dao friends.

"Young Master Liu, why are you sitting in the hall?"

The Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple stepped forward, feigning surprise, and upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng laughed and said.

"I didn't bring many immortal crystals this time; I'm just here to join the fun."

He also doesn't feel embarrassed at all, and moreover, the smile on his face gives a feeling like a spring breeze.

Liu Chengfeng has a good reputation; although his talent is not top‑notch, he can still become the young master of the Liu family, deeply supported by the clan, showing he also has something extraordinary.

Seeing Liu Chengfeng act completely nonchalant, this Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple put on a show of generosity and said.

"Brother Liu, what are you saying? This auction is hosted by Ultimate Bliss Palace; as a brother, you being the young master of the Liu family, how could we slight you? Let me do this: I'll upgrade you to a private room for free."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengfeng was taken aback, then politely declined with some embarrassment.

"This isn't proper.................."

As for whether it's a private room or the hall, Liu Chengfeng doesn't mind; a private room is merely more private and has attendants, otherwise there's no difference.

Bidding on treasures isn't about getting a bargain; it's all the same.

But regarding this, the Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple wouldn't listen at all and, without further discussion, insisted on upgrading him to a private room.

He then summoned a cultivator from the Thirty‑Three‑Story Building and instructed:

"Go, move the guest in Room Three to Room Eighteen, and give the room to Brother Liu."

"This.................."

Upon hearing this, the person felt a bit embarrassed, after all Room Three was occupied—and it was precisely the private room where Qi Xiong and his group were.

But seeing this, the Ultimate Bliss Palace disciple furrowed his brows and shouted in a cold voice.

"What, you didn't understand what I said?"

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Naturally, he didn't dare offend the Ultimate Bliss Palace, so this cultivator quickly turned and went to handle the matter.

Room Three is in a good spot; as for Room Eighteen, it's tucked in a corner, not only is the area smaller, but the view is also poor—there's simply no comparison.

This disciple of the Ultimate Bliss Palace merely wanted to disgust Qi Xiong and the others.

The Elder forbade them from actively provoking the Dao One Immortal Sect, but disgusting them a bit should be fine, right?

Driving them out also counts as a minor humiliation.

As that cultivator left, he turned his head to look at Liu Chengfeng and said with a smile.

"Brother Liu, please."

"This... then thank you, Senior Brother."

"It's nothing, just a room, not worth mentioning."

He said it nonchalantly; he wasn't doing it for Liu Chengfeng, but to humiliate Qi Xiong and the others—at most giving Liu Chengfeng a small advantage for a short time.

Soon, Qi Xiong and the others were notified to change rooms.

Upon hearing that, Zuo Fu immediately became displeased; the auction is already halfway through, and now you want to change rooms? Are you messing with me?

This is clearly problematic, and it's obvious they don't take us seriously.

On the contrary, Qi Xiong and Hong Zun didn't mind, and even spoke up to console Zuo Fu.

Today we mainly came to procure goods... pah, buying treasures at the auction; such minor matters need not be worried about.

Don't ruin the big picture over this small matter; that would be meaningless. Just change rooms if you must—it's no big deal.

Under the persuasion of Qi Xiong and the two others, Zuo Fu, displeased, changed rooms and came to Room Eighteen.

Just seeing that the area had been halved, Zuo Fu's face grew even darker.
