Mountain River Bead space.
While Xia Ping was in secluded cultivation, consolidating his mid-stage Dharma Image Realm cultivation, the ancient remnants he had captured—Feiyi, Black Baleful Demon Bird, Purple Crystal Tiger, Nine-Headed Lion, Void Butterfly, Golden Ant, and so on—were being publicly auctioned off within the space. There were thirty-six such ancient remnants in total.
The auctioneer was Green Ox.
The auction participants were slave girls from the Rabbit-Ear Race, Angel Race, Arhat Race, Winged Clan, and others.
The Mountain River Bead space was simply too short on people. The area of medicinal fields available for cultivation kept expanding, and they were desperately lacking hands to work them.
The girls managing the medicinal fields worked extremely hard every day, unable to split themselves in two.
These ancient remnants had happened to be captured by Xia Ping and brought in, so they immediately became ideal laborers, much sought after by the girls.
Moreover, they could not stir up any trouble. The moment they entered the Mountain River Bead space, Green Ox had sealed all their magical power and cultivation, leaving them unable to cause any destruction within the space.
The ancient remnants were incomparably stifled. Outside, they had been vicious and fearsome figures whose savage reputations shook the universe, yet now they had become prisoners, auctioned off in public. The humiliation was beyond words.
Feiyi and the Black Baleful Demon Bird in particular were overflowing with rage. Every moment, they wanted to escape, unwilling to become anyone's slaves here.
"The auction has begun."
Green Ox presided over the auction and pointed at three of them. "Feiyi, Black Baleful Demon Bird, Purple Crystal Tiger, you three, get up there. Behave yourselves. Don't try any tricks."
At those words, Feiyi, the Black Baleful Demon Bird, and the Purple Crystal Tiger obediently stepped forward
