Auctioning the Demon-Seeking Pearls
"There is no name associated with Young Master Wen."
Zhang Desheng's voice remained calm, showing no anger at Wen Shaohua's questioning.
He simply couldn't understand why a long-established Golden Core Family would choose such a petty and narrow-minded person as their young master. Were all the Wen Family's higher-ups idiots?
Can't you see that this kind of person will drag the Wen Family into the Abyss?
However, this is none of his business, nor is it the Zhang Family's business. As long as the Wen Family makes their annual tribute on time, there is no need for him to interfere.
Upon hearing Zhang Desheng's age, Wen Shaohua was overjoyed.
Being one of the Ten Heroes proves that this young man holds a considerable position and prestige within the Zhang Family.
And she was only seventeen years old, about the same age as me.
Defeating him would surely bring me great fame and prove my strength and talent.
In this way, when I come to propose marriage in a few years, the Zhang Family's higher-ups will definitely think more highly of me.
Surely Zhang Desheng can't be Dual Spirit Root like him, right?
Currently, the only person in the Zhang family who possesses dual spiritual roots is Zhang Chongxian, the family's patriarch.
Also included are Zhang Xuanbing, Su Muyan, Zhang Xuanchen, Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Wanjun, the Young Patriarch Zhang Detian, and Zhang Dexiao and Zhang Deling, who have just awakened their Spirit Root a year ago.
But Zhang Desheng wasn't there.
In other words, this person has at most Triple Spirit Root, and being a year younger than me, I am definitely no match for him.
He sneered, "Since you look down on me so much, why don't we have a fight?"
In the world of cultivation, the strong are revered.
If you defeat me, then you will prove that you are right.
If I defeat you, it will prove that everything you said was a joke.
And you...
He's just a self-righteous piece of trash! A piece of garbage!
When he shouted the last four words, Wen Shaohua's face was extremely ferocious. Having been humiliated time and time again, Wen Shaohua was already furious.
If he weren't at the Zhang Family, he would have already gone berserk and killed them!
Upon hearing Wen Shaohua's words, Wen Yanran's expression changed.
This is the Zhang Family, and it's the day of the Zhang Family's young master's wedding. To challenge the Zhang Family's Heavenly Talent is tantamount to provocation!
He immediately tried to stop her, "Shaohua..."
"Mother, don't worry about it. I'm challenging them openly and fairly. If the Zhang Family wants to punish me for this, then I, Wen Shaohua, will admit my guilt."
"At worst, I'll just die. What's there to fear?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanran remained silent.
Seeing her son being humiliated like this, it would be a lie to say she wasn't angry.
Zhang Desheng looked at Wen Shaohua with a half-smile and asked to confirm:
"You?
"Challenge me?"
As he spoke, his hidden cultivation level was slowly revealed.
Qi Refining Fifth Layer...
Wen Shaohua scoffed.
Qi Refining Level 6...
Wen Shaohua looked surprised, but didn't react much.
Qi Refining Level 7...
Wen Shaohua was shocked. How could someone with Triple Spirit Root reach the seventh level of Qi Refining at the age of seventeen? This was already comparable to his own genius with Dual Spirit Root!
Zhang Desheng ignored his shock and continued to increase his cultivation level.
Boom!
Having fully revealed his Qi Refining Eighth Layer, he looked at Wen Shaohua and said in a deep voice:
"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you want to challenge me?"
A year ago, he was only at the Qi Refining Level 6, but because he had Triple Spirit Root, after experiencing the baptism of spiritual energy feedback, his cultivation level broke through two levels and reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer.
In addition to the advanced Swordsmanship he practiced,
It's no exaggeration to say that defeating Wen Shaohua would take at most ten moves!
"This is impossible!" Wen Shaohua couldn't believe his eyes and whispered, "You have Dual Spirit Root, why aren't you using them?"
"Dual Spirit Root?" Zhang Desheng shook his head. "No, no, no, I only have Triple Spirit Root."
I've told you before, your Dual Spirit Root simply incomparable to those of my Zhang Family.
In the Wen Family, you're high and mighty; in the Zhang Family, you're nothing!
People should have self-awareness!
Do you understand?
"Trying to make a name for yourself through me? You don't deserve it."
After speaking, without waiting for Wen Shaohua's reply, she looked at Wen Yanran and said:
"Patriarch, let's go, lest we miss the auspicious time."
After saying this, he concealed his cultivation level back to the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and then flew towards the Zhang Family Ancestral Hall.
Seeing this, Wen Yanran gave a bitter smile.
The Zhang Family... they're really terrifying.
He grabbed Wen Shaohua, who was standing there stunned, and followed closely behind.
The outer area of the Ancestral Hall.
Everyone on Xuanxiao Mountain gathered together, enjoying delicious food and Spirit Wine.
Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air; everyone was having a great time.
Wen Yanran, Wen Shaohua, and several elders of the Zhang Family sat together.
After all, guests are from afar.
No matter what, these two are Wen Qingya's blood relatives and cannot be neglected.
The younger generation may be ignorant, but the elders must not be unaware of proper etiquette.
Despite having the elders of the Zhang Family with her, Wen Yanran felt empty inside.
The smile on her face was fake; she didn't seem to have the same feelings she had when she was engaged to the Zhang Family last time.
She regretted it; she regretted being too lenient with Wen Shaohua in the past.
Glancing at Wen Shaohua, who sat silently to the side, she hoped that this trip to Xuanxiao Mountain would lead to some changes in him.
The entire wedding went very smoothly.
After toasting Wen Yanran, Zhang Detian and Wen Qingya left the scene.
During this time, Wen Shaohua only glanced at the young and outstanding Zhang Detian, who possessed an ethereal air, and at Wen Qingya, whose face was filled with happiness.
He didn't say a single word.
He didn't do anything bad.
After the wedding, Wen Yanran took Wen Shaohua and left the Zhang Family, returning to White Eagle Ridge.
On the third day after the wedding, the Zhang Family began to prepare for the auction of the Demon-Seeking Pearl.
The Zhang Family Disciple were allowed to "accidentally" reveal the Demon-Seeking Pearl in various Immortal City.
Then it spread widely through his mouth.
Six months later.
In the Main Hall of the Zhang Family, Zhang Detian, dressed in a white and gold robe, sat on the main seat.
He looked at Zhang Hongkai and asked, "President Kai, how is the Demon-Seeking Pearl being received in the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain so far?"
Is it possible to start an auction?
Upon hearing the question, Zhang Hongkai stepped forward, bowed, and smiled:
"Young Patriarch, your performance in promoting the Demon-Seeking Pearl has been excellent."
All forces within the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, including even the Demon Race, displayed an extremely high desire to purchase.
I think we can hold Auction.
"The clan currently possesses 1,372 Demon-Seeking Pearl."
My Zhang Family left behind 372.
One thousand of them can be put up for auction.
Based on my estimation, a single Demon-Seeking Pearl can be sold for around ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stone.
After all, the Demon- Demon-Seeking Pearl can only sense Devil Qi; it cannot detect those intelligent, Demonized Creature that choose to remain hidden.
Furthermore, different factions can borrow from each other, so the price of the Demon-Seeking Pearl cannot be driven too high.
He was certain that the more of the Zhang Family auctioned off, the lower the price of the Demon-Seeking Pearl would become.
This is an inevitable trend.
As for the method of making the Demon-Seeking Pearl being cracked by other Artifact Refiner, that's simply impossible.
Without special methods of sealing it, Devil Qi cannot be transformed into a tool for sensing Devil Qi.
Hearing Zhang Hongkai's words, Zhang Detian laughed:
"One Demon-Seeking Pearl costs ten thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stone..."
One thousand is ten million.
That's 100,000 Top-grade Spirit Stone, which is more than twice the amount of Spirit Stone needed to advance Spirit Vein.
It's not low.
"Pass down the word: Auction held in major Immortal City across the Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain in three days, with the Demon-Seeking Pearl being one of the three core auction items."
"Yes, Young Patriarch!"
After giving a reply, Zhang Hongkai walked out of the Main Hall.
As he walked out of the Main Hall, Jun Xiaoyao, who was guarding the gate, entered the Main Hall.
