The auction is in full swing, with one high-tier spirit treasure after another making its appearance, sparking wave after wave of frenzied bidding. The air is thick with tension and excitement, setting the whole venue abuzz.

Li Mu’s refinement of Tier Six Spirit Treasures and the remaining spirit treasures and artifacts from the spoils were the focal points of the crowd’s attention. When these treasures took to the auction stage, they immediately drew avid bids from numerous cultivators.

Time flew by, and within just one hour, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had sold over two hundred Tier Five Spiritual Artifacts and a dozen Tier Six Spirit Treasures, amassing over a hundred million Spirit Stones.

Among them, the spirit treasures refined by the Artifact Refining Grandmaster of Taiyi Sect were the most sought after, and the Tier Six Spirit Treasures refined by Li Mu also garnered much attention. When these spirit treasures appeared on the auction stage, they instantly triggered a scramble among numerous cultivators.

"Congratulations to fellow Daoist number 11 for acquiring the Black Gold Treasure Claw at a price of seventy-two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones! Next, we will be auctioning off an exceedingly precious spiritual object." Lin Baoqing tirelessly announced, with energy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the teleportation array on the auction stage flashed briefly, and a spiritual object in the shape of a jade token appeared on the platform. It was smooth like a mirror, emitting a faint green glow, as if it were a piece of ancient jade carved over eons.

"The Celestial Puppet Spirit Token!"

Grasping the jade token, Lin Baoqing exhibited it to the cultivators participating in the auction on-site and introduced it solemnly.

"Many of you here might know the origin of this token, and surely some of you might not. Here, I will take a moment of your time for a brief introduction." Lin Baoqing’s voice echoed through the venue, filled with formality and reverence. He paused for a moment, then continued, "This ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token,’ which forms one part of the Tier Seven Dao Artifact component, originates from the legacy treasure of the Celestial Puppet Sect from ten thousand years ago. It’s said that collecting all eight ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Tokens’ grants you complete legacy inheritance of the Celestial Puppet Sect."

Lin Baoqing’s words reverberated through the auction, like thunder on the ground, leaving the cultivators in the venue dumbstruck. Many stared relentlessly at the ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ in Lin Baoqing’s hand, shaken by what they heard.

The Celestial Puppet Sect, once renowned in the Cultivation Realm, though long erased from history’s flow, its repute still echoes today. Many have heard the legendary tales of the Celestial Puppet Sect, knowing this major sect once mastered unparalleled puppetry skills along with its legacy treasure: the Celestial Puppet Spirit Token.

"I’ll take this token. May old friends here be lenient!" At this moment, a Divine Sense transmission came from VIP Room number 3, requesting of the other VIP rooms.

"Shopkeeper Lin, can you ensure this token is truly the ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’? There have been many ’fake goods’ before." Another cultivator questioned skeptically.

"The Celestial Puppet Spirit Token has ’surfaced’ again, wonder what kind of farce this time will unfold!" Someone remarked.

"Forget it! The grand sect legacy is not something easily coveted! Chen won’t be participating in this." Others dismissed indifferently.

Below the auction stage, the discussions buzzed incessantly, cultivators reacting variably, some were optimistic, some pessimistic, others remained neutral, each with their own thoughts. But nearly everyone brimmed with curiosity regarding the mysterious ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token.’

Facing the reactions from the crowd below the stage and the transmission from VIP Room number 3, Lin Baoqing remained unperturbed, wearing a composed smile and continued, "Previously, indeed many fake goods had surfaced, making the authenticity of the ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ hard to distinguish, bringing about many jokes."

"However, to ensure the authenticity of this item, Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion had it professionally verified by over a dozen Spirit Appraisers, further specially inviting Puppet Grandmaster — Elder Zhao to be present in person. He once witnessed the might of the Celestial Puppet Sect’s legacy treasure, ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token.’ Now, he is here himself; if anyone still has doubts about this ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token,’ feel free to consult him." Lin Baoqing added, his gaze directed at the silver-haired Divinity Transformation Elder sitting at the front of the stage, signaling.

As soon as he finished speaking, the chatter below the auction stage abruptly ceased. Following that, eyes from all directions converged and locked onto the elderly predecessor indicated by Lin Baoqing.

The white-haired Divinity Transformation Elder slowly stood up and nodded slightly to the surroundings.

"I, Zhao Kuangsheng, had the fortune to witness the Celestial Puppet Sect’s legacy treasure, the ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token.’ Today, I will introduce it to everyone." Zhao Kuangsheng stood at a corner of the auction, slowly began, "This ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ is the legacy treasure of the Celestial Puppet Sect, consisting of eight tokens, each possessing remarkable features. It’s said that collecting all eight ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Tokens’ can trigger the secret of the Celestial Puppet Sect’s legacy, obtaining a complete sect legacy."

"This ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ has many marvelous uses," Zhao Kuangsheng observed everyone’s reactions and continued the introduction, "Firstly, holding it can precisely control the puppet army; a holder of this token needs only a heart thought to command the celestial puppet to attack, defend, scout, and so on. It amplifies and disperses divine thought; in essence, it’s definitely a tool for puppet masters to easily and efficiently control puppets."

"Secondly, this ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ possesses a small spirit storage space, allowing high-tier puppets to be stored within, aiding puppets in developing a primordial spirit and autonomous evolution. Thus, through the cultivation of the ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token,’ a spiritless puppet can grow increasingly powerful, advancing to birth spirit."

"Thirdly, this ’Celestial Puppet Spirit Token’ owns a complex puppet illusion array, which can be used to refine divine sense."
