Chapter 3941: Immortals Gather

The auction venue was the Wanxian Tower, a high-grade immortal artifact, which clearly demonstrated the strength of the Wanxian Business Alliance.

The Wanxian Business Alliance holds irregular auctions in various sea regions, and the Wanxian Tower serves as the venue. It not only showcases their power but also ensures the safety of the bidders.

A sky-shattering dragon roar echoed from the distant horizon. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan curiously looked towards the source of the sound.

A golden true dragon, with five heads and dense scales, appeared on the distant horizon.

A team of cultivators stood on the golden true dragon's back. Leading them was a valiant young woman in a white dress with an icy expression, and Ye Xuanji stood beside her.

"The Ye Family!" Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.

He hadn't expected the Ye Family to send representatives to this auction, let alone a Golden Immortal cultivator leading the group, and was surprised to encounter Ye Xuanji.

Ye Xuanji, currently at the late True Immortal stage, was somewhat surprised to see Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, and her lips moved slightly.

The golden true dragon stopped in mid-air, not far from Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"Greetings, Senior Ye." Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan quickly bowed in salute, their expressions respectful.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have cultivated to the True Immortal Great Perfection stage. Congratulations!" Ye Xuanji congratulated them. She had few acquaintances in the Immortal Realm, and her friendship with Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, whom she had known since the lower realm, was quite deep.

The young woman in the white dress appraised Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan from head to toe, her face showing approval. She said, "Your spiritual sense cultivation is good, and your physical body cultivation is also excellent. Feel free to visit the Ye Family when you have time."

"Yes, Senior Ye," Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan replied.

The young woman in the white dress chanted an incantation, and the golden true dragon transformed into a burly man in a golden robe, who possessed the cultivation of a True Immortal Great Perfection.

Their group flew towards the Wanxian Tower. The burly man in the golden robe took out a golden storage bracelet and tossed it to a guard. The guard then handed them a golden token and allowed them to enter.

"Let's go in too!" Wang Changsheng put away his Jade Skiff and flew towards the Wanxian Tower.

He paid two one-colored Chaos Beast cores of the early True Immortal stage and received two blue tokens. The number "Thirty-Six" was carved prominently on the front of the tokens, and the number "Five" was on the back.

The entrance fee for a single bidder was one one-colored Chaos Beast core of the early True Immortal stage. Simply by collecting these entrance fees, the Wanxian Business Alliance could acquire a substantial number of one-colored cores.

Upon entering the Wanxian Tower, they were greeted by a vast golden hall. Golden jade tables, laden with tea and refreshments, were placed at regular intervals.

Hundreds of True Immortal cultivators gathered there, enjoying tea and casual conversation.

From the hall, one could observe the upper floors. The doors of some private rooms were wide open, and some cultivators stood at their entrances, gazing down at the gathering in the hall.

On the stone wall to the left of the hall, a list of ten grand finale auction items was carved, accompanied by illustrations and descriptions.

"'Nine Marvelous Profound Origin Pills, a mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannon, mid-grade Chaos Armor, a second-grade Dao Pill, Nine-Colored Flat Peaches, Golden Immortal stage Bean Soldiers, Nine-Star Spirit Infusion Talismans, Violet Thunder Blade, Nine-Light Jade Liquid, and a Golden Ridge Shield. There are quite a few good items this time! No wonder the Yang Family from Jade Sword Island sent Golden Immortal cultivators.'"

A portly old man in a red robe, reeking of alcohol and holding a red gourd, read out the text on the stone wall.

"'Hehe, the scale of this auction is quite significant. Senior Fu of the Sky-Howling Clan personally led the team; they likely came for that mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannon,' a thin old man in a green robe chuckled."

"'It won't be easy to acquire the mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannon. Senior Liu of the Nine Origin Palace has also arrived. Senior Liu possesses extraordinary divine abilities; with the mid-grade Immortal Extinguishing Cannon, his power will be greatly enhanced,' a somewhat hunched old man in a golden robe remarked."

"'You Three Profound Origin Immortals know many seniors! The Yang Family from Jade Sword Island, the Sky-Howling Clan, and the Nine Origin Palace all hail from different sea regions, and each has Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivators presiding over them,' Ye Xuanji said."

The Three Profound Origin Immortals were three rogue cultivators, all at the late True Immortal stage. They had extensive knowledge, having traveled to many sea regions within the North Sea Immortal Realm, and were acquainted with numerous Golden Immortal cultivators from major powers.

"'I am Qian Yan. Fellow Immortal, you must be a member of Immortal Liuyun's clan! My apologies for my disrespect. I didn't expect your Ye Family to come this time; it's truly lively!' the red-robed old man said, cupping his fists respectfully."

"'You know our Old Ancestor?' the young woman in the white dress asked."

"'This junior does not know Immortal Liuyun personally, but I have heard of her great name. With early Golden Immortal cultivation, she single-handedly annihilated two early Golden Immortal five-colored Chaos Beasts. I heard that Senior Ye has already advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. Congratulations!' Qian Yan congratulated her."

Not long after Wang Changsheng ascended to the Immortal Realm, Immortal Liuyun advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage and held a celebration. At that time, Wang Changsheng had not yet visited the Chaos Continent.

Wang Changsheng looked upstairs and saw Cao Xingdian and Cao Yuheng standing at the entrance of a private room.

Cao Xingdian and Cao Yuheng flew down from the upper floor and landed in the hall.

"'This junior, Cao Yuheng, greets Senior Ye. Old Ancestor Yuanxing has requested your presence. Would Senior Ye be available to speak for a moment in private?' Cao Yuheng bowed politely."

The Ye Family was a newly rising power with the formidable Immortal Liuyun. The Cao Family maintained a close relationship with them.

The young woman in the white dress nodded and followed Cao Yuheng upstairs. Ye Xuanji and the others remained in the hall, immensely curious as it was their first time attending an auction held by the Wanxian Business Alliance.

Cao Xingdian's gaze swept through the crowd, and upon seeing Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"'Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, it's been many years. Your cultivation has advanced greatly. Congratulations!' Cao Xingdian congratulated them."

"'Fellow Daoist Cao, did Fellow Immortal Cao not come?' Wang Changsheng asked curiously."

Cao Xingdian, knowing Wang Changsheng was referring to Cao Yufeng, shook his head and replied, 'Old Ancestor Yufeng hasn't returned. Old Ancestor Yuanxing and Old Ancestor Jingxia are leading the team for this auction.'"

Wang Changsheng nodded in understanding.

After a brief chat, Cao Xingdian returned upstairs.

The cultivators chatted among themselves, greeting any acquaintances they encountered.

To the right of the hall was a side hall where items could be consigned or mortgaged. Immortal pills, immortal herbs, immortal talismans, immortal wines, Chaos Beast hides, immortal wood, and immortal artifacts were all accepted. The Wanxian Business Alliance charged a certain commission fee for consigned goods.

If cultivators did not have enough cores or high-grade immortal elemental stones, they could mortgage items or arrange temporary consignments. No fees were charged for mortgaged items, but commissions were applied to all consigned goods. Furthermore, free appraisal services were offered, allowing attendees to present unidentified items to the Wanxian Business Alliance stewards for identification.

The stewards would disclose the origin of the treasures. Attendees could then choose to sell them to the Wanxian Business Alliance or keep them, which was also a method for the Wanxian Business Alliance to gather cultivation resources.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan quietly listened to other cultivators converse. These cultivators came from various sea regions and had also visited different cities on the Chaos Continent.

The Sky-Howling Clan, the Cao Family, the Nine Origin Palace, the Yang Family from Jade Sword Island, the Five Immortal Sect, and the Ye Family all had Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivators overseeing them. This time, each of them sent Golden Immortal cultivators to lead their respective teams.
