The gathering continued as wine glasses intertwined. After Long Tianming came, some apex figures of the Divine Feathers, Skyblaze, and Heavenly Note Sects also entered the chamber.
Long Yan pointed in a direction and said, "That's the Holy Maiden of our Heavenly Note Sect, Mingyue Wushuang!"
Nie Li followed her line of sight. The girl he saw was as beautiful as the moon and was roughly twenty-six or twenty-seven.
She was barefoot with a silver bell attached to her ankle. As she walked, the clear ringing of the bell resounded.
Celestial Sword Holy Maiden, Mingyue Wushuang!!
The name really fits her!
"Brother Nie Li, that's the Holy Son of our sect, Yan Yang!" Li Xuan also said while pointing in a certain direction.
Nie Li saw a youth with hair so red it seemed to be burning. However, he had extremely fair skin and a powerful and domineering aura.
The Infernal Emperor!
Among the members of all sects, Mingyue Wushuang, Yan Yang, and Long Tianming were undoubtedly the most dazzling existences.
It seemed the other sect only sent their regular disciples or their main talents were in seclusion.
Long Tianming glanced at Mingyue Wushuang, and Yan Yang as he cupped his hands in greeting. Mingyue Wushuang and Xiu Ming nodded in acknowledgment. Meanwhile, Yan Yang remained as cold as ever and completely disregarded Long Tianming's existence, which slightly embarrassed Long Tianming.
"Is Brother Nie Li interested in Mingyue Wushuang?" Gu Bei teased him, watching him stare at the woman.
"Hehe... who knows." Jason shrugged his shoulder.
Long Yuyin spoke from the side. "Holy Maiden Mingyue Wushuang is not that easy to approach. Her status is far greater than ours."
"It's a shame. Then I should have to be satisfied with you." Jason teased her, causing her to blush.
As they were talking, Qin Yue stood up in front of the room, introduced herself, and then started the auction.
Nie Li had auctioned thirty Extraordinary growth rate Dragon bloodline demon spirits. Which were then followed by many items such as Heavenly Note Dew, Artifacts, Demon Soul's Essence, etc.
He made Gu Bei become the center of attention by letting him buy almost everything.
The last item was a dark-black katana wrapped in chains. It was like a dragon who had been tied with chains, taking away its freedom.
The sword looked ancient and rusty with a ferocious aura, suppressing everyone close to it.
"Even to this day, we cannot determine exactly what grade this sword belongs to. The only thing we've known is that this sword is definitely extraordinary." Qin Yue introduced.
"Gu Bei, no matter what, buy this sword for me!" Jason transmitted his voice to Gu Bei. "As for all the money, I'll pay for it!"
"Alright!" Gu Bei nodded. Although he was also interested in it, he didn't have money for it. And he could still take a look at the katana after Jason had it.
After all, Isn't money supposed to be spent?
Gu Bei was quite eager now!
The starting bid was one hundred thousand spiritual stones!
Many people were utterly stupefied at the price.
"One hundred ten thousand spiritual stones!" Long Tianming casually said.
Someone finally made a bid!
"One hundred twenty thousand spiritual stones!" Yan Yang casually said.
The price steadily rose as the two of them continued the bidding war. When Yan Yang raised it to one hundred sixty thousand, Long Tianming was forced to back out from the fight with a bitter smile.
"Senior Brother Yan Yang has made a bid of one hundred sixty thousand. Is anyone willing to go higher?" Qin Yue lightly smiled as she looked out at the crowd.
Suddenly, Mingyue Wushuang's clear voice rang out as she lightly smiled. "I'll offer one hundred ninety thousand. If anyone raises the price past that, then I'll back out!"
Yan Yang went silent for a moment as he spoke, "By right if Senior Sister Mingyue is interested, I should let Senior Sister Mingyue have it. Unfortunately, I'm also quite interested in this mysterious sword. I hope that Senior Sister Mingyue won't be offended!" Yan Yang wasn't on good terms with Long Tianming but he was obviously more polite toward Mingyue Wushuang.
Mingyue Wushuang smiled, "Don't worry about it. Junior Brother Yan Yang should do as you like!" After all, she was only casually raising the price.
"Two hundred thousand spiritual stones!" Yan Yang continued bidding.
Just when everyone believed that the sword would fall into Yan Yang's hands, Gu Bei's voice sounded. "I'll bid two hundred ten thousand spiritual stones!"
Yan Yang turned in Gu Bei's direction and considered him briefly. He never expected that Gu Bei would still have the wealth to compete against him, especially after buying so many other things.
"Two hundred twenty thousand spiritual stones!" Yan Yang continued raising the price.
"Two hundred thirty thousand spiritual stones!" Gu Bei calmly bidded.
After remaining silent for a brief moment, Yan Yang opened up. "I'll back out of the competition. Junior Brother Gu can have this sword!" Although Yan Yang felt slightly regretful, he still calmed himself very quickly.
Everyone was utterly shocked that even Yan Yang couldn't win against Gu Bei. He was going to give it up just like that? They couldn't help giving Gu Bei a glance. That guy's wealth was simply too frightening.
"Then, many thanks, Senior Brother Yan Yang!" Gu Bei lightly smiled as he cupped his hands towards Yan Yang.
After the auction, it's time for the Four Arts event.
Qin Yue was the first to perform as she played the zither.
Her piece was very soothing to the soul but it was far from the one Jason could play after playing it for girls for over a decade in the Temporal Demon Spirit Book.
Someone from the crowd shouted, "Among the disciples in the side chamber, the leaders are Senior Brother Yan Yang, Senior Sister Mingyue, and Senior Brother Long Tianming. Please go up and enlighten us!"
The rest of the crowd parroted after that person.
Under their constant pestering, the three of them showed their Dao's comprehension.
But after spending over three hundred years inside the book, Jason couldn't help but be a little disappointed with their display.
Qin Yue smiled as she swept her eyes over the crowd. "Is there anyone else who wants to show us their skills?"
Everyone exchanged looks. Those three had just finished displaying their skills. Who would still dare to go up? If anyone else went up, they'd just be displaying their pitiful skills after an expert!
Jason smiled lightly and stood up before walking toward the stage, "I will give it a try!"
Dead silence filled the side chamber. Everyone dumbfoundedly stared at Nie Li.
What was going on?
Who was this kid?
There was someone who dared to go up after Yan Yang, Mingyue Wushuang, and Long Tianming.
"Just who is that guy? He must be an idiot who doesn't know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth."
"I know who he is! He's the number one genius from the Divine Feathers Sect's youngest generation!"
But even if he was the number one genius among the youngest generation, he was still too arrogant to try and pit his own Dao intent against those three!
Yan Yang, Mingyue Wushuang, and Long Tianming all looked in Jason's direction. This was unexpected for them. However, they calmly observed as they tried to see what Jason was planning.
Li Xingyun sat to the side, staring at Nie Li in astonishment, getting excited to see a glimpse of Jason's strength.
Gu Bei was also stunned for a brief moment, becoming excited too.
