"Shut up!"

The Hun Tiandi's face was ashen, and he was furious at Ye Qianqian's words.

That woman below dared to spout nonsense and slander him; she must not be forgiven.

In an instant, the Hun Tiandi abandoned his battle with Xiao Xuan and rushed straight towards Ye Qianqian.

"Freeze!" Ye Qianqian smiled faintly, extended a slender, jade-like finger, and pointed it at the Hun Tiandi from afar.

With just this seemingly casual movement, Hun Tiandi's figure froze instantly, unable to move at all. His strength as Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint was completely inadequate.

"Battle Dou Di???"

Hun Tiandi and Xiao Xuan were greatly shocked, because the Yun Lan Ancestor in front of them was actually stronger than them, so he was very likely a Dou Di expert.

"Lord Dragon God, that boy was disrespectful to you, why didn't you kill him?" Zhu Kun asked, puzzled.

Ye Qianqian shook her head, adopting the air of a reclusive sage, and laughed, "I don't need to lower myself to the level of a junior. 'He's still a child!'"

"Bite"

Shock level +300.

Shock level +500.

Shock level +1000

At this moment, whether it was the Hun Tiandi, Xiao Xuan, or Gu Yuan and the others who rushed over, they were all stunned by Ye Qianqian's methods.

It seems the rumors are true; this Yun Lan Ancestor is indeed a mysterious and unpredictable powerhouse!

Ye Qianqian spoke to the crowd with an air of superiority, "You naughty little brats, it's enough that you come here to cause trouble, but you still don't know your place. You should be glad today, glad that I'm not the kind of person who kills, otherwise, you would all be dead here today."

"Bite"

Shock level +3000.

Shock level +3000.

Shock level +10000

Gu Yuan and the others trembled all over, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads. It was unbelievable that there were still Dou Di experts on this Dou Qi Continent.

"Alright, you've all had your fun, it's time to come down!" Ye Qianqian said to the crowd, "I originally planned to hold an auction to gather the best talents in the world, but I didn't expect you little guys to arrive early. So, let's start the auction ahead of schedule!"

Hun Tiandi felt a mix of emotions, a kind of indescribable bitterness. He had gone to great lengths to escape the pursuit of other families and finally arrived here, but who would have thought that Yun Lan Ancestor would actually be a Dou Di?

As Ye Qianqian's capable assistant, Yun Shan had already arranged most of the auction three days ago. Although the auction was held ahead of schedule, it was still possible to proceed.

At the same time, Xiao Xuan greeted Gu Yuan and several other Clan Leader, and also recognized Xiao Yan.

"Clan Leader Xiao Xuan, it's been a long time!" Gu Yuan said with a fake smile, secretly plotting to win Xiao Xuan over.

Now that Xiao Xuan has been resurrected, the situation has changed dramatically, and he has no choice but to choose to become allies with Xiao Xuan again to fight against the Soul Clan together.

"It's been a long time!" Xiao Xuan laughed heartily, having no more genuine friendship towards this hypocritical Gu Yuan.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to the Yun Lan Academy today for this grand auction. My name is Yun Shan, and I am the host of this auction."

Yun Shan felt immense pressure. Without his ancestor, he, an insignificant person, would not have achieved what he had today.

Once upon a time, he had to rely on the Soul Hall to advance to the Dou Zong realm. Now, he is a Dou Sheng Expert. And now, the top powerhouses on the Dou Qi Continent all treat Yun Shan with utmost respect out of respect for the ancestor. What a proud thing this is!

Yun Shan said, "This auction will feature four kinds of secret treasures, and each of these items will not disappoint you gentlemen."

The group nodded as they sat in their chairs. They were naturally not disappointed, for they had come specifically for the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

"Yun'er, bring up the first item."

Yun Yun held a tray with a jade bottle on it, which appeared to be a kind of elixir.

Yun Shan picked up the bottle and introduced it to everyone, "As you all know, besides being incredibly powerful, my ancestor was also a formidable alchemist. The pill in this bottle is a Grade Nine Heavenly Pill called the Indestructible Golden Body Brilliance Moon Pill. As the name suggests, after consuming this pill, the user can instantly strengthen their physique, achieving the effect of an indestructible golden body. No matter how much an expert of the same level attacks, the physical body will not be harmed, but it can only last for ten seconds, making you a 'ten-second true man'!"

"Whoosh!"

The many bigwigs present erupted in cheers. Ten seconds of immunity to any damage—this was a life-saving pill!

If the enemy suddenly unleashes a powerful attack, and you consume this pill to defend against it, you can unleash your own powerful attack again when the enemy's cooldown is not yet full and they want to replenish their power. That would be devastating! Moreover, when escaping with low health, you can use this pill to dodge a fatal blow, thus saving your life. Overall, this pill is indeed very beneficial.

"Such a elixir, I shall take it."

The Hun Tiandi was very interested in this elixir. He had made too many enemies, and with this elixir, he would have a way to protect himself.

"This elixir will be obtained through a barter system."

"A High-grade Earth-tier Dou Technique, the Emperor Seal Art." Gu Yuan felt this pill was worth having, so he was the first to offer his price.

The Emperor Seal Art is a secret art passed down through generations of his Ancient Clan. It was created by their ancestor, the Dou Di, and has a long history and extraordinary significance. He believes that this Dou Technique can be exchanged for that elixir.

The other family Clan Leader gave up bidding. Since Gu Yuan wanted it, they naturally wouldn't compete for it; their target was still the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

"You hypocritical scoundrel, you think you can compete with me?" The Hun Tiandi chuckled, sat down in his chair, and raised his token, "A treasure of the Soul Clan, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Scroll."

This Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Scroll is a top-tier Dou Technique of the Soul Clan. Once mastered, it can summon 999 fierce ghosts, with power comparable to a mid-level Heavenly Rank.

Gu Yuan's expression turned cold. He was not as wealthy as the Soul Clan, and he immediately gave up on raising the price.

The Hun Tiandi has already produced such a supreme treasure as his very first item. Has he gone mad?

Yun Shan handed the Ninth-grade Pill to the Hun Tiandi, making the Hun Tiandi proudly smile.

"The second item is also a Ninth-grade Pill, exactly the same as the previous one."

"I, Xiao Xuan, am willing to offer up the Xiao Clan's inherited cultivation techniques." Xiao Xuan also showed great interest in this pill.

Ever since Taiyi Zhenren appeared before him, he had lost interest in the Tou She Ancient God Jade, because that great man had said that a large number of supreme treasures would soon appear in this world, and becoming an emperor would be a piece of cake.

"Congratulations, Lord Xiao Xuan, this pill is yours."

Xiao Xuan held the pill in his hand, playing with it repeatedly, before finally putting it into his Storage Ring.

Ye Qianqian was very satisfied. The pills she refined were exceptionally powerful; consuming them granted invincibility for ten seconds, which was practically like having a cheat code.

It's important to understand that in a battle between experts, one mistake can lead to total defeat. Moreover, the cooldown time for ultimate skills is extremely slow. With this pill, one can completely withstand the opponent's fatal blow.

In addition, she also refined two bizarre and heaven-defying pills in the records of the Supreme Pill Dao, called the Twin Phoenix Pills.

If two people consume these two pills, their cultivation will instantly increase to the level of Dou Di). Moreover, they will develop an unbreakable love. Even more absurdly, if the person who consumes the female pill is male, his body will undergo a tremendous change, transforming him into a woman.

Ye Qianqian couldn't help but want to take out the two pills again to take a look.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Ye Qianqian was completely taken aback, because the two pills in her hand were the Indestructible Golden Body Brilliance Moon Pill that she had just sold. Where had the Male and Female Pills she had refined gone?

Startled, Ye Qianqian turned her gaze to the Hun Tiandi in the distance, only to see him holding a pill engraved with the character for "female," which he contentedly stored in his Storage Ring.

This is terrible! She's mixed up the pills; the pills Yun Shan is auctioning are the Winged Lovers Pill!!!

And who has the elixir now?

The auction was still in full swing when Yun Shan asked Xiao Yi Xian to bring up the third treasure.

"My lords, this third treasure is one that I believe you are all familiar with. It is none other than the Tou She Ancient God Jade, which drives all the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent mad."

After Yun Shan took out the Ancient Jade, all the bigwigs present turned their eyes to it with burning desire, wishing they could snatch Ancient Jade away.

"An Ancient Clan's Heavenly Rank Dou Technique, the Ancient Emperor Nirvana Finger!" Gu Yuan couldn't contain his excitement; he had to get his hands on the key to the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion.

"The Soul Clan's Advanced Soul Origin" The Hun Tiandi took out a ball of Soul Origin, which emitted waves of soul fluctuations, making people's souls wary.

Ye Qianqian was no stranger to this source. Back in Wang Ba's Soul Palace, she had obtained some low-level sources, and her soul power instantly reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection. Compared to the price Gu Yuan offered, Gu Yuan's stuff was just trash.

"Clan Leader, we cannot let the Hun Tiandi obtain the Ancient Jade! You must help me!" Gu Yuan was shocked. The Soul Clan's resources were indeed richer than the Ancient Clan's. The only way now was for the other Clan Leader to contribute funds to crush the Hun Tiandi.

"Clan Leader Gu Yuan's words make a lot of sense!" The five clans of Medicine, Stone, Spirit, Thunder, and Flame all brought out their family treasures to jointly resist the Hun Tiandi.

"Damn it!" Hun Tiandi exclaimed angrily, but for a moment he really had no way to deal with it.

"Congratulations, Lord Gu Yuan, on successfully bidding for the Ancient Emperor Jade."

Yun Shan ordered his men to collect a large number of treasures and present them to Ye Qianqian. He then said, "The presence of you gentlemen has been an honor to our humble abode. Therefore, this fourth item is a free gift to you all. It is news that the location of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion has been found by my ancestor."

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained shock points.

Shock level +5000.

Shock level +8000.

Shock value +10000. Shock value +...
