After hearing Luo Xiu's words, the Mountain Subduing Monarch and the other two looked at each other helplessly. No matter how angry the three of them were, they could only forcibly suppress their anger. They stood up, turned around, and left. Their barely concealed dissatisfaction was expressed incisively and vividly.
Luo Xiu looked at the three people leaving and smiled. Then, his figure flashed. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Hao Yue Sage. At this moment, Hao Yue Sage was also looking at Luo Xiu in astonishment. Clearly, the old man in front of him knew nothing about what happened in the front hall.
Luo Xiu roughly explained what had just happened. Then, he smiled and said very calmly, "Obviously, because of Martial Uncle's breakthrough and the stability of our Hao Yue City, these guys can't sit still anymore. Martial Uncle, what do you think will happen if we release a strand of Primordial Violet Qi at this time?
Will it trigger a world war?
Looking at how determined these guys are to get it, I'm very doubtful of their determination. After all, it can only help one person advance in cultivation. If it wasn't for the fact that the accumulation needed to break through to the highest level is too terrifying, then the Origin of Dao wouldn't necessarily be that precious. After all, it's the Origin of Dao left behind by someone else. For some self-righteous cultivators, it's better for them to break through on their own! "
At this moment, Luo Xiu's heart moved as he thought of the constipated expressions on the faces of those people when they left. He thought of an extremely crazy idea. This idea was extremely effective. Moreover, it would be effortless. It could even be exchanged for a large amount of cultivation resources for him. This kind of method, which seemed to be extremely profitable to him, made him feel extremely excited. He even greedily wanted to do it once.
However, seeing Hao Yue Sage's face getting darker and darker, Luo Xiu resentfully put away what he wanted to say next. At this moment, he was very clear that Hao Yue Sage had seen through his little scheme. He also understood that Hao Yue Sage couldn't afford such a huge consumption of energy. Previously, when he replicated the strand of Primordial Violet Qi for Hao Yue, Hao Yue City's accumulation had been completely exhausted. At this time, where could he find such a huge amount of energy?
If it wasn't for the fact that Luo Xiu himself knew how difficult it was to replicate the Innate Primordial Violet Qi, he would have thought of using the method he had thought of earlier to earn a fortune. However, when he thought of the terrifying consumption, he gave up.
For Hao Yue Sage and Hao Yue City at this very moment, the most important thing was to hold the auction smoothly. Moreover, the most important point was that they had to make a good plan. In the end, they had to sell the Withered Wood Method of Spring to someone and to whom they couldn't sell it. There were too many twists and turns in this matter.
With his shallow understanding of this world, Luo Xiu didn't think that he could handle this kind of complicated interpersonal relationship. When the time came, he would have to rely on this old man in front of him. Thinking of this, Luo Xiu couldn't remain calm.
"Martial uncle, do you want to personally preside over the auction this time? After all, I can't control the situation with my little cultivation. Moreover, I don't know the nine great powers, as well as the other disciples of the three palaces, six schools, and seventy-two schools. Who knows who will make a move at that time and whether there will be any opportunities. Or do you want to make the Withered Wood Method of Spring a commonplace magical ability?"
Luo Xiu wasn't the least bit surprised that he had been reprimanded. He quickly changed the topic and talked about the auction.
"Auction?
Oh, you're talking about the auction where the Withered Wood Method of Spring will be auctioned. In that case, there's no need to hide it. Since they want the Withered Wood Method of Spring, they can directly sell all of the Withered Wood Method of Spring's inheritance. It's good if they can get some resources back. After all, Old Man used your Innate Primordial Great Dao. I don't want to owe him a huge favor, so I have to find a new way for you to advance. Although you don't need it for the time being, it's still necessary for you to accumulate resources in advance. Moreover, we can use this opportunity to smooth out the relationship between us and the other powers. This is the biggest significance of this auction! "
True Monarch Hao Yue rubbed his forehead and said with a smile. There wasn't much of a reaction in his tone and his emotions were extremely calm. This made Luo Xiu's impression of this old fellow increase by a few degrees.
"When the time comes, Martial Uncle, you can personally host this auction. I think the people of the nine great powers and the other powers will definitely have some ideas. If we go too far, those guys won't be polite to us. I suspected that we were tricked before, but I didn't have any evidence. Now that I think about it, it might really be because we were too eager before, so the enemy caught hold of our weakness. You had no choice but to take the risk of breaking through your current realm. Otherwise, the situation of the whole world would definitely be very unfavorable for us. However, Martial Uncle, are you sure you want to do this? After all, the Withered Wood Method of Spring is still a bit strange. If it falls into the hands of illegal people, we still have to guard against hostile powers!" Thinking of his previous thoughts, Luo Xiu said with a helpless smile.
At this moment, if he still didn't react, then he would really be an idiot. Even so, he still felt an indescribable panic. Luo Xiu really couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind Supreme Hao Yue's actions.
"Don't worry, with this old man personally hosting the auction, Deadwood Cultivator's cultivation method won't attract too much attention. Moreover, with this old man's strength, when the time comes, I can make some changes to the Deadwood Cultivator's cultivation method so that the power of this Divine Ability isn't so strong. This old man might not have been able to do it before, but now I can easily do it. At that time, even if they buy it, there will still be some essential differences with the real Deadwood Cultivator's cultivation method. This kind of thing that can dig a hole for the enemy and make a lot of money at the same time, why not?"
Of course, Supreme Hao Yue knew what Luo Xiu was worried about. Don't look at Luo Xiu's stuttering words, but Supreme Hao Yue really understood what Luo Xiu was thinking.
After finishing his discussion with Supreme Hao Yue, Luo Xiu left. He needed to go down and give some instructions to start preparing for the auction. At the same time, he needed to make a few strands of innate Hong Meng Purple Qi that could fool people in a short time. Of course, it was fake and didn't need much energy. He only needed the external appearance of this innate Hong Meng Purple Qi to be able to fool people. When the time came, it would be up to Supreme Hao Yue to decide whether to hold the auction or not. Luo Xiu was only a little worried that Supreme Hao Yue was unable to control the situation, but he wasn't worried at all about how sinister this old guy was.
Although Luo Xiu was a sword cultivator, after being in contact with Supreme Hao Yue for a long time, Luo Xiu suddenly realized that although this old guy usually had an awe-inspiring righteousness and even a hasty appearance, he was actually extremely two-faced and knew when to advance and retreat.
Luo Xiu had seen it with his own eyes. If not for Supreme Hao Yue's previous actions, Luo Xiu would have almost thought that this old guy was an upright gentleman in the Cultivation world. Therefore, at this moment, Luo Xiu was completely relaxed without the pressure on his body. What he needed to consider next was no longer that important. If not for the previous matter that disrupted his plans and the sudden arrival of those three guys that made him somewhat vigilant, Luo Xiu wouldn't have cared about what other forces wanted to do.
Time slowly passed, and soon, the day of the auction arrived. This time, the auction was a small-scale auction. Luo Xiu arranged for it to be held in the antechamber of the City Lord's Mansion. This was an area covered by a defensive formation and some powerful formations. Here, even if Supreme Hao Yue wanted to fight with someone, he would have the absolute initiative. Another reason for choosing this place to hold the auction was to prevent some Devil Cult disciples from sneaking in.
There weren't many people, only a few dozen. However, when Luo Xiu learned of their identities, he was somewhat deceived. Almost all the forces of the Three Palaces, Six Sects, and Seventy-Two Schools had sent people over. Moreover, these guys who came were all glaring at Ancestor Heavenly Star and the others. This made Luo Xiu somewhat surprised and somewhat inconceivable.
Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh out loud after asking his subordinates why there was such a strange atmosphere. It turned out that Ancestor Heavenly Star, the Mountain Guarding King, and the others actually wanted to seal off the news and exclude the other forces.
However, there were still people who spread the news, so the Three Palaces, Six Sects, and Seventy-Two Schools, as well as most of the remaining forces, sent people over. Among these guys, Luo Xiu even guessed that there might be some Devil Sect people among them.
The auction was held very smoothly. Just as Ancestor Heavenly Star had worried, Hao Yue Supreme really didn't care about his face at all. Not only did he personally host the auction, but he also took out all the magical powers and cultivation methods of Driedwood Cultivator for auction. In addition, some resources that Hao Yue City didn't need were also auctioned. In short, this auction was extremely disgusting.
Especially those guys who were led by the nine major forces, their faces were unsightly to the extreme. Although they didn't spend much to obtain the inheritance of Driedwood Cultivator and the magical powers and cultivation methods that they yearned for even in their dreams, Driedwood Cultivator's cultivation methods were also obtained by the major forces at the same time. Hao Yue Supreme's undisguised approach really made the people of the nine major forces extremely angry.
However, what was done couldn't be undone. They didn't have anything to worry about now. For the other forces, being able to obtain the Driedwood Cultivator's Spring Revival Secret Art so smoothly was simply a blessing from their ancestors' graves. Moreover, they also knew that the people of the nine major forces should be extremely unhappy now, so no one stayed in Hao Yue City for a long time. Almost as soon as they obtained the items, many forces came out together and directly returned to their respective sects.
There were also some things that made people not know whether to laugh or cry. When the loose cultivators outside knew that the auction of the City Lord's Mansion was related to the inheritance of Driedwood Cultivator, some loose cultivator powerhouses gathered some loose cultivators and prepared to ambush the participants of the auction to see if they could obtain some benefits. Because of the oppression of the nine major forces, the other forces huddled together for warmth and left in groups. This led to a tragedy for the loose cultivators who were preparing to rob these guys.
In any case, with the help of the system, Luo Xiu watched with great interest. It was hard for him to imagine how insidious this old man, Hao Yue Sage, was. This was because when these people were fighting, this old man actually set up a shop in the City Lord's Mansion and publicly sold the Driedwood Cultivator's Spring Revival Secret Art, as well as several powerful wood attribute magical abilities. Such an undisguised method simply made the various forces participating in the auction vomit blood.
Even the people of the other forces didn't know whether to laugh or cry after knowing about Hao Yue City's operation. They didn't have any other thoughts. After all, these things belonged to the other party and they bought them at a high price. They were originally prepared to use these things after the cultivation methods were thoroughly popularized and even sell them. They just didn't expect Hao Yue Sage to do it so quickly.
However, there was no other way. No matter how unhappy they were, in the face of the powerful Hao Yue City, the people of the nine major forces could only choose to silently endure. In the current situation, the people of the nine major forces really didn't have the intention to fall out with Hao Yue City. The most important point was that Hao Yue Sage still had the way to obtain the Origin of the Great Ways.
All the people who had fantasies about the Origin of the Great Ways were expecting Hao Yue Sage to reveal the true origin of the Origin of the Great Ways he used. This situation was not only a matter of the Origin of the Great Ways, but also involved some unknown things. Even Luo Xiu didn't know about this situation.
He only knew that True Lord Hao Yue had played around with the people of the nine major factions in such an unbridled manner. However, no one from the nine major factions had come forward to stab him in the back. This made Luo Xiu truly realize how terrifying the status and authority a supreme expert held in the entire Azure Cloud Great World was.
Seeing the situation in front of him, Luo Xiu completely dispelled the idea of going out again. Breaking through as soon as possible was the right way. However, although he thought so and did so, for him at this moment, the situation didn't improve at all. Although Luo Xiu's cultivation was extremely fast, it was undeniable that because of the resonance between the Innate Primordial Purple Qi and the Lunar Sutra, although Luo Xiu could quickly accumulate energy during cultivation, he couldn't make a substantial improvement in his cultivation in the shortest time. Without the assistance of the system, Luo Xiu's cultivation fell into a bottleneck, which also made him see some things that he had overlooked before.
However, it was only these trivial matters. At this moment, Luo Xiu was already certain that it was wishful thinking for him to break through to the Supreme Realm in a short period of time. The most important thing now was to solve the problem of the Devil Race that he and True Lord Hao Yue were most worried about as soon as possible. Moreover, the nine major forces couldn't be underestimated too much. These old fellows had been provoked to the point of lust. He was really worried that these fellows would really jump over the wall in desperation.
