Chapter 73: Hobby of Dao Companions
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cloud Mountain Swamp.
The figures of cultivators floated above the mine. These cultivators’ robes had the logo of the Luosha Demonic Valley. Their eyes flickered with heat as they looked down.
Cave abode ruins.
Opportunity.
All kinds of thoughts flew through their minds.
In front of them, there were several demonic cultivator elders with powerful magic power and aura sitting cross-legged.
“The cave left behind by Ancestor Blood Crocodile is really hard to find. It’s actually buried in the mineral vein under the swamp.”
…..
“Hehe, no matter how difficult it is to find it, it will only take more time. However, the restriction of this cave abode is a little easy. It can be opened by just a blood sacrifice. There’s a high chance that there’s a huge trap inside.”
“Even if it’s a trap, we have to think of a way. If we can obtain the legacy of Ancestor Blood Crocodile, our Luosha Demonic Valley won’t have to stay in a poor place like Yue Kingdom!”
“The orthodox sects have stood by and watched for so long without doing anything. They don’t have good intentions. I think it’s best to drag the Demonic Sects of the Jin Kingdom into this.”
“By the way, has there been any movement from the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder?”
“No movement.”
The demonic cultivator elders suddenly fell silent.
No one could ignore the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Wei Kingdom’s Golden Sun Sect. Although they knew that this place was a trap before they came, Ancestor Blood Crocodile had been domineering when he was alive. The cave abode he left behind might have a few most important dharma treasures and cultivation techniques. The sect had repeatedly decided to send them over to investigate the situation.
“Is it true that the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder had a relations.h.i.+p with his daughter – in – law?”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. I only know that Fairy Cai Yue is gorgeous. If it were me, I would really be tempted.”
“What’s that Fairy Cai Yue’s name?”
“Heh, I don’t know.”
“What is Fairy Cai Yue’s Dharma treasure?”
“Heh, I don’t know.”
“Enough!” The demonic cultivator elder with the strongest magic power and aura had a dark expression. He said coldly, “Immediately give the order. All disciples are not to enter the cave abode without permission. Let the rogue cultivators of Cloud Mountain Parlour open the way for us first. In addition, activate the array. Hmph, it won’t be so easy for those righteous cultivators to enter.”

A few days later, the large-scale auction of the True Treasure Pavilion was officially held. Shen Ping had already changed into his robe. His wife stood behind him and carefully combed his hair. Her fragrance filled the air.
“Yun’er, you haven’t used up the fragrance powder you bought last time?” He asked casually.
w.a.n.g Yun said gently, “I don’t usually use it.”
Shen Ping smiled and said in a low voice, “Yun’er, you don’t have to save. Use more in the future. I quite like this fragrance. If you can apply some on the nectarines, I believe it will be fun.”
w.a.n.g Yun blushed and said obediently, “I’ll try it tonight.”
After tidying, Shen Ping walked around and asked his wife to tidy up before going downstairs and walking out of the house. He arrived at the entrance of the market’s True Treasure Pavilion. Sect disciples entered one after another. At the same time, waves of spiritual pressure came from the building.
The rogue cultivators on the street did not dare to approach. He took a few deep breaths. He mustered his courage and stepped through the threshold. Then, he went to the second floor and changed into his mask. Then, he followed some sect disciples to the backyard and arrived at the underground auction hall not long after.
The auction hall was more s.p.a.cious and bright than usual.
The crystal lamp in the oval dome was like a scorching sun, illuminating every seat. In addition to the rows of seats below the high platform, the second floor was opened at the edge. There were private rooms that looked exquisitely decorated.
He sat down at the Qi Refinement cultivator’s seat.
Shen Ping waited quietly.
More than 80% of the people who could attend the auction today were disciples of the various large sects. There were also many Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although this was not the first time he had seen so many Foundation Establishment cultivators, he was still shocked as the Golden Core experts arrived.
The grand occasion was not inferior to the Danxia Sect’s founding.
Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators stood up to welcome him. Needless to say, Shen Ping and the other Qi Refinement cultivators had never sat down. A full three hours pa.s.sed. Almost everyone who could be present was here.
Boom!
An old man in a purple robe suddenly appeared on the high platform. He had a smile on his face, and the gentle and vigorous Dharmic powers on his body spread out. His voice also sounded, “Welcome, Fellow Daoists, to the large-scale auction that happens once every ten years in our True Treasure Pavilion.”
He said some polite words.
The auction began.
The elder of the True Treasure Pavilion raised his voice and said, “The first auction item is the dharma treasure, the Purple Silkworm Robe. Other than the effect of the ordinary Dharma Robe, it also has an additional effect. It can use special methods to activate a pair of purple wings of the Heaven Silkworm and increase one’s speed.”
Before the elder of the True Treasure Pavilion could say the starting price, a Golden Core expert shouted. Clearly, he knew his stuff.
Although he had expected it, when he heard the price of the Dharma treasure with his own ears, Shen Ping was still dumbfounded. Some Golden Cores even used thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to bid.
As the first item was auctioned, the second and third items appeared one after another. They were all rare treasures. Shen Ping could only watch. In fact, the Qi Refinement seats he was in were only here to join in the fun.
They reached the middle of the auction. The price of the items finally came down. Among them, many Qi Refinement disciples shouted a few words.
“Next is the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment. It’s an excellent supplement for Dao Companions. Not only can it increase the relations.h.i.+p between Dao Companions, but it can also help both sides speed up their cultivation. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of the Acacia Faction, regardless of gender, shouted excitedly. Even some people from other sects who had Dao companions shouted.
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. There was finally something he could use. He immediately bidded, but unfortunately, he did not succeed.
A few more items went over.
“Although the effect of the Snow Ganoderma Pill is weaker than the Spirit Jade Ginseng Ointment, it increases the interest. It guarantees that the relations.h.i.+p between Dao Companions will increase. There will be ten bottles auctioned, and the starting price of each bottle…”
This Snow Ganoderma Pill had the most number of items, but its medicinal effect was still much stronger than spirit liquid. However, Shen Ping could tell that this was probably the last auction item before the final item.
He could not afford the finale items. He could only compete for this one. There was nothing else to say. At the last bottle, he directly bet everything in his storage bag. If he missed such a large-scale auction, he would have to wait for the next one.
“Congratulations to this cultivator for obtaining the Snow Ganoderma Pill!”
Hearing this, Shen Ping heaved a sigh of relief. Although he got one item, he had a sense of partic.i.p.ation and was not just here to join in the fun.
The remaining finale items were indeed more precious than the last. The Golden Core experts competed crazily. In the end, a 3,000-year-old spiritual herb even appeared, shocking all the cultivators in the auction hall.
After it ended, most of the cultivators who left felt that this trip was not in vain. Although they were here to join in the fun, they had broadened their horizons.
Shen Ping habitually went to the Talisman Treasure Hall first. He waited in the Talisman Treasure Hall for a while before leaving the market and returning to the small courtyard in Yunhe Alley.
He pushed open the door. He couldn’t wait to take out a bottle of Snow Ganoderma Pills. There was a line of words on it: A must-have for Dao companion. He glanced in the direction of the quiet room.
Shen Ping’s face was filled with a smile. Yu Yan, who cultivated the special cultivation techniques, the Thousand Face Charm Technique and the Phoenix Fusion Technique, would probably be able to truly open the door to him after coming out of seclusion.
“I wonder how effective this Snow Ganoderma Pill is. There’s no hurry. I’ll cultivate first.”
He took a deep breath and suppressed the heat in his heart.
Another month and a half pa.s.sed. Shen Ping acc.u.mulated some talismans and went to the True Treasure Pavilion to buy spirit liquid again. He continued his boring life. During this period of time, more and more rogue cultivators ran to the Cloud Mountain Swamp..
