Lu Wanyuan hadn't expected that his casual visit to broaden his horizons would lead him to the spiritual herb he'd been longing for. He was overjoyed.

But by the time he reacted, he realized the auction had already begun.

Several rounds of bidding had already passed!

The next moment, he heard another bid from the other end of the Open-air Venue.

"2000 spirit stones!"

A clear, magnetic voice.

The voice sounded very familiar.

Following the sound, he saw that Xiao Wanchang was the one bidding from the other end, and there were several people beside him.

At this moment, Xiao Wanchang's eyes were fixed on the Ice Spirit Grass on the stage.

The tall beauty's tray had long since had its red cloth removed, revealing ten Emerald Green Ice Spirit Grass, each placed in a red Wooden Box, lined up on the tray.

The spiritual grass was surrounded by spiritual energy, giving it an aura of Immortal Qi.

This was also the first time Lu Wanyuan had seen such a high-level spiritual plant; it was clear at a glance that the grass was of extraordinary value.

Indeed, not long after Xiao Wanchang's bid.

A new bid came from a private room on the second floor.

"3000!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wanchang looked towards the private room on the second floor that had just bid.

After a moment of silence, he considered that this spiritual grass was crucial for his future cultivation.

He then continued to bid a new price.

"5000!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the cultivators in the Open-air Venue all turned towards him in unison.

Seeing this, Xiao Wanchang's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because he had only wanted to obtain this spiritual grass.

He had forgotten that he was currently in this open-air venue, filled with Rogue Cultivators. Revealing his wealth so openly was a very dangerous thing!

Although he had high talent and good cultivation aptitude, before he could grow, he was worthless and in constant danger of death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wanchang's face immediately turned grim, and the people around him also wore expressions of facing a formidable enemy.

Everything they did was under Lu Wanyuan's gaze.

He had originally wanted to name a price and bid.

But after seeing the situation, he immediately understood.

He quickly shut his mouth and stopped speaking.

As for the rogue cultivators on this floor, let alone a few thousand spirit stones, if they had more than 100 spirit stones on them, people around them would look at them differently.

It was probably like a shark smelling blood!

Thinking of this, Lu Wanyuan immediately felt a bit of anticipation.

It would probably be enough for that guy to deal with.

Since that was the case, he would go and help out later. It seemed that the 'Concealment 2 Hours' skill finally had a use.

However, when he heard the other party's bid, he was furious.

Back when he was on Green Bamboo Peak, he didn't even have 100 spirit stones. He had saved meticulously. How could he have known that this guy would be so generous bidding for spiritual items here?

But this kid actually had at least five thousand spirit stones!

Without even thinking, unless this guy had some fortuitous encounter, how could someone who acted so arrogantly possess so many spirit stones?

Needless to say, it must have been given to him by his mother, Ouyang Tingting. Where did Ouyang Tingting's spirit stones come from?

Didn't they come from Lu Hu?

Just as he was feeling indignant, he heard the old man on stage, Luo Zexuan, shout loudly, "The current auction price has reached 7,000 spirit stones!"

"That's equivalent to 700 spirit stones per spiritual herb."

"Don't think this price is too high, I can tell you clearly!"

"Although Ice Grass is only a barely second-tier spiritual herb, compared to other spiritual herbs, it might not be worth mentioning, but its unique pharmacological properties and effects."

"It is favored by many cultivators, mainly because this spiritual herb comes from the North Ice Plain millions of miles away. Think about the distance!"

"It is worth the price!"

"Therefore, don't miss out. You might not be able to obtain it even after ten years, as the growing conditions for this spiritual grass are too harsh and it's not easy to find..."

Under his desperate recommendation.

The auction price actually reached 9,000.

However, such a price came from a private room on the second floor.

For such a price, the cultivators on the first floor didn't even need to think about it; they were all a bunch of poor beggars.

Lu Wanyuan immediately wanted to bid.

But thinking that he was still in this open-air venue at the moment, he had to give up.

He regretted it immensely. If he had known earlier, he should have gotten a private room on the second floor. Then he could bid as he pleased, and no one would know anyway.

It seemed that these VIP private rooms were indeed worth the money. If he encountered such an auction in the future, he would definitely secure a private room first, regardless of whether he bought anything.

Fortunately, he saw that Xiao Wanchang was also staring intently at a private room on the second floor, the very room that had bid for the spirit grass.

It seemed this spirit grass was also very important to this guy, otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a deathly expression. He definitely had intentions.

Since that was the case, then there would be a good show to watch.

He had long wanted to kill this guy. Now that the other party wanted to court death, he would reluctantly play the role of the Yellow Bird!

After figuring it out, he stopped paying attention.

Just as he had predicted.

These ten stalks of Ice Spirit Grass were acquired by the private room on the second floor that bid 9000.

Afterward, various items were continuously auctioned off.

Magic artifacts, elixirs, cultivation techniques, spirit talismans, ores, and all sorts of cultivation resources, there was everything.

The entire auction venue was bustling with activity.

Of course, it also broadened Lu Wanyuan's horizons. Faced with such a dazzling array of items, he secretly kept them in mind, knowing how to handle them if he had the chance in the future.

During the auction, he wanted to bid several times, but seeing Hu Yidao next to him also intently watching the auction items on stage, he gave up the idea of bidding.

It was better to have one less trouble than one more. If he bid and won an item, what would this guy think?

For this auction, his main goal was to broaden his horizons, not to bid on anything!

"Alright, thank you all for your enthusiasm, fellow Daoists. This auction has been very successful, and the auction time is drawing to a close!"

"I believe all of you fellow Daoists have bought your desired items and can be considered to have returned with a full harvest!"

"Next, we have the final item of this auction. However, this item will certainly be out of reach for the vast majority of you fellow Daoists!"

After speaking, Luo Zexuan surveyed the crowd below the stage again, wearing a mysterious expression.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, why be so mysterious? Whether we have the affinity or not isn't up to you to decide!"

"That's right! It's better to take it out sooner so everyone can see."

"..."

The crowd below the stage was hooked by Luo Zexuan's words, eager to get a glimpse of what kind of treasure it was that he spoke so highly of!

Seeing the surging crowd below, Luo Zexuan knew he had built up enough anticipation.

He took a few steps forward, "Alright, everyone, look carefully. We present the final item for auction!"

He waved towards the backstage, and a tall woman carrying a tray covered with a red cloth walked from backstage to his front.

Then, he lifted the red cloth from the tray, revealing a palm-sized, jet-black, and shiny token on the red tray, with white spiritual threads constantly swirling around it.

Upon seeing this, everyone showed looks of disdain.

"Damn, what is this thing? Isn't it just an ordinary magical artifact? We've seen hundreds, if not thousands, of these already. There's nothing special about it!"

"Yeah, I thought it was some kind of treasure!"

"Exactly, Fellow Daoist Luo. This is quite unfair. You're pulling this stunt at the end. Aren't you disrespecting us?"

Seeing this, Luo Zexuan raised his hands towards the crowd and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, open your eyes wide and see what this is?"

"It is indeed a magical artifact. Don't you know what it is yet? So, you don't recognize it even now. That's why I say, this item has no destiny with you!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo, if that's the case, why didn't you say so earlier? You've made us all curious."

A cultivator below the stage shouted indignantly.

"Alright, this token is actually the Qingyun Sect's 'Clan Establishment Order'. With this token, you can apply to the Qingyun Sect to establish a cultivation family and gain their recognition!"

"You can acquire a spiritual脉 to establish a family! This is a token that many rogue cultivator families dream of, because the Qingyun Sect only issues such a token once every hundred years or so."

"After all, the number of spiritual脉 is limited. Unless you render great service to the Qingyun Sect, it's unlikely you'll obtain this token!"

"Our Four Seas Alliance has this token from a rogue cultivator family that rendered great service to the Qingyun Sect. However, after completing their service, the family's descendants declined, and they were unable to establish an effective cultivation family. Therefore, they entrusted this token to the auction for sale!"

"Alright, I've said all I need to say. The starting bid is [X] spirit stones, with each subsequent bid no less than 2000 spirit stones. The auction begins now!"

After Luo Zexuan introduced it like a machine gun, he started the auction before the crowd could even react!

Below the stage, people exchanged bewildered glances. It was only then that they realized this palm-sized, jet-black token was the renowned 'Clan Establishment Order'!

Possessing this was equivalent to having an inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy, as it allowed one to legally own a spiritual脉, at least in name.

Of course, the prerequisite was being able to defend it!

Lu Wanyuan below the stage also looked at all of this in a daze.

This was because he had long planned to gather his brothers and establish a family together.

Therefore, he had researched the 'Clan Establishment Order' and knew it in detail.

He knew that the 'Clan Establishment Order' was not easy to obtain.

The Qingyun Sect's 'Clan Establishment Order' would only appear as a reward when it felt threatened or during large-scale expansion, encouraging those cannon fodder to work desperately.

But for the overlord Qingyun Sect to be in danger, it was basically impossible, unless the demonic beasts from the wilderness attacked, only then might such a situation occur.
