Besides the Mechanism Academy, Shuozhou Academy and Holy Light Academy are also participating colleges in the quota competition.
Jiu Bailu also showed Mu Fusheng all of these things.
There are a lot of lightning-attribute cultivators at the Shuozhou Academy.
The Holy Light Academy is somewhat special, as it cultivates the Dao Law of Light, which is one of the Sanqian Supreme Dao Law.
Shuozhou Academy is already a strong competitor in the qualifying rounds, so there's no need for them to bring in outside help.
Holy Light Academy is different; although it holds a unique position in the Heavenly Mystery Continent.
However, cultivators who can cultivate the Supreme Dao Law of Dao Law of Light are already very few, even in the Holy Light Academy. In the past, due to the uneven quality of the participating students, there would often be one or two who were very good at the Dao Law of Light, while others could only be considered second-rate or even third-rate.
Jiu Bailu said, "If all the students from the Holy Light Academy can cultivate the Dao Law of Light, then even the Mechanism Academy, which has the participation of the Mo Clan school, will have to back down."
Due to the special nature of this qualifying competition, Holy Light Academy sent out all three students capable of cultivating the Dao Law of Light, and also spent a huge amount of money to hire a large number of external aids, which is why they were able to forcefully enter the qualifying competition.
After completing the investigation, Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng and smiled, "So, I've helped you so much, don't you owe me a favor?"
Mu Fusheng sighed helplessly and said, "Another one owed?"
Previously, Jiu Bailu had helped his senior brothers a lot in the Prince's Tomb. After all, he was his senior brother, and he had to accept this favor.
"You're unwilling?" Jiu Bailu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Mu Fusheng shrugged and said, "Alright, then what do you want me to do? As long as it's within my capabilities."
Jiu Bailu then smiled and trotted into a shop that sold armor.
Mu Fusheng couldn't help but chuckle softly and followed him inside.
Jiu Bailu stood before a snow-white shawl and said playfully, "I'll use one first; you buy one for me."
After removing her disguise, Jiu Bailu did not continue to disguise herself. Her delicate figure was a stark contrast to her previous aloof and icy demeanor.
The other people in the shop were also stunned.
Mu Fusheng was also slightly taken aback, his heart seemed to skip a beat...
Realizing this, Mu Fusheng suddenly slapped himself.
How can you be so spineless?
He then stepped forward and looked at Jiu Bailu suspiciously, asking, "Are you sure you want to exchange a favor for this?"
Although the price is still 10,000 Flawless Primordial Stone.
It is also an Ancestral Artifact.
However, for someone of Jiu Bailu's status, buying this light gauze dress would be a simple matter.
"My happiness is priceless; value isn't given by others, it's given by ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Mu Fusheng nodded. After paying the bill, he saw Jiu Bailu draped in the snow-white shawl, which added a touch of sophistication to the otherwise unadorned dress.
Jiu Bailu doesn't seem to like embellishing her clothes; she always wears solid colors.
That makes sense, though; for the Jiu Bailu, any embellishment would be superfluous.
Amidst the stunned expressions of the onlookers, the two walked out of the shop side by side.
"Aren't you going to say anything?" Jiu Bailu said, slightly dissatisfied.
Mu Fusheng scratched the back of his head and then said, " Ancestor Realm armor, hmm, looks like it works quite well."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Bailu not only wasn't angry, but instead laughed heartily.
You know what? I really love watching you act.
"And you know what? Only someone with a guilty conscience would act in such an obvious place."
Mu Fusheng almost slapped himself in the face again.
To put on an act in front of someone as shrewd as Jiu Bailu is tantamount to putting a sign behind one's back that says something unspeakable.
This is a classic case of hiding something obvious.
"What about the favor we owe each other?" Mu Fusheng asked helplessly.
With her hands behind her back, Jiu Bailu walked towards the camp, saying, "I'll tell you when I've thought it through."
The auction was held as scheduled.
The auctions in Heaven-Reaching City are special because there are too many merchant guilds here. It's impossible to allow dozens of merchant guilds of all sizes to hold auctions at the same time, otherwise the entire Heaven-Reaching City would be in chaos.
The City Lord's Manor of Heaven-Reaching City simply gathered these merchant guilds together, with the City Lord's Manor acting as the main agent, allowing other merchant guilds to bring their items up for auction.
To prevent too many people from participating, the City Lord's Manor also limited the number of participants.
Those below the level of first-rate forces are not allowed to participate unless they have a token issued by the City Lord's Manor, but only a few exceptionally talented individuals who have made a name for themselves in the Heavenly Mystery Continent possess such a token.
However, even if a college is not a top-tier institution, it can still participate in the qualifying tournament.
In this situation, a large amount of external items are usually purchased for use in the qualifying competition.
Therefore, if something that can instantly boost strength appears, it will likely cause a fierce competition among the four academies for the quota.
The original price will be inflated several times over.
This is a great opportunity to earn Primordial Stone.
The City Lord's Manor and those merchant guilds couldn't possibly let this opportunity pass them by.
The auction was held in the council hall of the City Lord's Manor.
This is the largest building in the entire Heaven-Reaching City.
Even so, it still felt somewhat crowded.
After entering the auction hall, it was divided into two areas.
One is a series of round tables below, with chairs placed around them.
This is for those top-tier forces.
Beneath the dome are four luxurious rooms.
They represent the Mo Clan and the students of the Holy Light Academy, respectively.
The three students from the Holy Light Academy who cultivated the Dao Law of Light all received golden tokens. After all, they are cultivators of the Supreme Dao Law, so they deserve this treatment.
After Mu Fusheng and the others from the Chaotic Spirit Academy arrived, they intended to head towards the round table below, but then they heard the Gu Sheng laugh and say, "Come on, follow me upstairs."
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
He only realized what was happening when he saw the Gu Sheng take out the golden token.
That's right. The Gu Sheng was once extremely popular in the Heavenly Mystery Continent. Among the younger generation, he could be considered one of the most talented. Obtaining a golden token was more than enough for him.
Vice Dean Ming said with a faint smile, "Looks like I'll have to benefit from your connections as well."
The remaining one went unnoticed by anyone.
Little did they know, inside that magnificent room, a man sat, while a beautiful woman watched from the side.
"Master, I did a good job, didn't I? I even specially requested a golden token from the City Lord's Manor." Mo Yu put his hands on his hips, his face full of self-satisfaction, and said, "Otherwise, I would have had to share a room with the people from our Lineage."
After checking the surroundings for any surveillance cameras, Lu Changsheng sat down and said, "Alright, let's see what those little brats want to buy."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "It's alright. If any of my senior brothers want it, I'll help them get it!"
