"I’ve heard that Old Monster Jiang joined the Celestial Demon Sect when he was in the Southern Border, and now he’s the Black Lotus Saint Child of the Celestial Demon Sect."

"What, he joined the Celestial Demon Sect?"

"Yes, now the Celestial Demon Sect is leaderless, and all beings above the Nirvana realm have gone to the Primordial Mountain Range. Old Monster Jiang can easily become the Sect Leader if he wishes."

"Today’s contest for the Blood Nether Soil is destined to add another variable. Just dealing with Luo Yun is already enough of a headache, and now comes Old Monster Jiang."

Many people’s faces turned solemn as they privately discussed among themselves.

Luo Yun!

This is a supremely talented individual from the Western Desert Land, known as a descendant of a Divine Spirit, with unimaginable strength. His physical body, soul, and Power, all reach levels unimaginable to others in the same realm.

Especially since his Divine Bloodline has awakened.

Makes his physique and talents even more terrifying.

This kind of Divine Bloodline, if placed in history, is enough to contend with an Innate Vajra.

Coupled with the backing of the Mo Yun Sect, the largest sect in the Western Desert, which makes it even more untouchable.

Today, most people gather here principally for the Blood Nether Soil. Dealing with Luo Yun alone makes them anxious, and now there’s Jiang Shi as well.

One can imagine how fierce today’s Blood Nether Soil contest will be.

As everyone was deep in their thoughts, many people started walking in from the outside through the back corridor, sweeping their eyes over the room, and upon seeing Jiang Shi, their complexion suddenly changed as if encountering something they least wanted to see.

But they still gritted their teeth and found an empty seat to sit down.

And so.

Time passed.

People continued to stream in from outside.

As the shadows inside the room grew numerous, quickly, all the seats were taken.

At that moment!

Further footsteps were heard from the rear.

A tall and slender man draped in a blue robe with golden-yellow hair walked in from outside, flanked by two elderly men with lean bodies, their expressions cold, like ancient wells.

The man frowned upon entering and began scanning the room.

The people inside immediately showed slight changes in their expressions, many stood up quickly and started to actively give up their seats.

Luo Yun!

The Saint Son of Mo Yun Sect, largest sect of Wester Desert!

"Young Master Luo, this way please!"

Someone nearby soon called out to the blue-robed, blonde-haired man.

The blue-robed, blonde-haired man raised his head to look, expressionless, and immediately strode over.

"Please sit, please sit!"

The man smiled broadly, courteously allowing the seats for himself and his subordinates for Luo Yun and the two elderly men beside him.

He himself stood directly beside Luo Yun.

"Young Master Luo, there are many masters from the Central State present this time."

The man adopted a slightly serious expression and whispered in Luo Yun’s ear instantly, "One person is exceptionally strong, might be a potential threat to you. This person is not a Nirvana but has actually killed a Nirvana realm expert."

"Hmm?"

Luo Yun furrowed his brow and glanced at the man.

The man continued whispering, "The guy on your front right is called Jiang Shi, it’s him; I fear he’s here for the Blood Nether Soil too."

The Blood Nether Soil is exceptionally rare, even here, it’s not something ordinary.

"Is that so?"

Luo Yun glanced at Jiang Shi, recovered his calm, and said, "Noted."

He said no more and began to silently wait.

The man beside him had a changing expression and promptly closed his mouth.

After a while, a clear ringing of a bell sounded.

The entire room immediately fell silent.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to the front.

A graceful figure, dressed provocatively with two straight and long legs exposed, walked out with a richly smiling face and said, "Welcome everyone to the Treasure Pavilion. I believe everyone is already familiar with our rules at the Treasure Pavilion. I’ll spare the extra talk. This time, the trading at the Treasure Pavilion has prepared five extraordinary items for all of you to bid upon."

She gave a slight smile and looked to the side.

Two women dressed in goose yellow dresses, smiling, came over carrying a tray from a short distance away.

"The first item is a relatively intact Divine Remains, everyone may bid freely, as usual following the principle of trading item for item."

The woman smiled.

Wow!

Many people in the room showed surprise, their eyes focused on the top of the tray.

Including Jiang Shi, who was dumbfounded, in disbelief.

Divine Remains?

On the golden tray sat a shriveled, emaciated figure, his entire body dry and dark, with white hair falling over his head, his hands tightly pressed against the insides of his thighs, dead for countless years.

"The Treasure Pavilion never fails to impress."

Daoist Master Xuan had a slightly concentrated gaze, and whispered, "Divine Remains are exceptionally rare throughout the continent; their worth is no less than Blood Nether Soil. A Divine Spirit is a treasure unto itself."

Especially a complete Divine Remains, containing Divine Spirit Qi, which if extracted using special methods and incorporated within oneself, can instantly elevate one’s physical body by several realms."

"Oh? Divine Spirit Qi?"

Jiang Shi showed curiosity, and instantly began to pay attention to the Divine Remains.

Meanwhile, in the room, everyone began bidding fiercely.

Various precious materials were called out casually, with continuous upward bidding.

Jiang Shi carefully searched through his Storage Ring, unable to help but secretly lament.

Unfortunately, the things he possessed were relatively ordinary.

Not one was considered a precious material.

Even if he bid, it’s hard to defeat the others.

Feeling helpless, he chose to continue observing.

After a fierce contest, the Divine Remains were soon bid for by a burly figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, immediately drawing everyone’s attention, their eyes gleaming.

Soon it was time for the second item.

After the breathtaking appearance of the Divine Remains as the first item, many were once again surprised as the second item appeared.

The second item was a Space-Time Talisman.

Crafted by ancient gods.

Once activated, possesses the eerie ability to confine space-time.

Unfortunately, the talisman is damaged, usable only once more.

Even so, it’s enough to leave one in awe.

Many quickly placed bids.

No matter what, obtaining the talisman is akin to gaining a second life, fearless of pursuit, able to escape any predicament promptly."

Under Jiang Shi’s astonished gaze, the entire room fiercely contested once more.

Soon the third item was brought out.

This third item was precisely the sacred artifact that captivated all Blood Pill Realm peak experts — Blood Nether Soil.

Two whole portions!

Two portions of Blood Nether Soil contained in a single bottle.

Meaning, if purchased, both portions must be bought together.

Once again causing an uproar in the room, everyone was bidding madly.

Even Jiang Shi was secretly shaken, glancing several times at his ordinary Storage Ring, and shook his head with a bitter smile.

Unexpectedly, he was still a bit too poor.

Only by truly coming out could he experience a broader world."

Amid fierce competition.

The Blood Nether Soil was unsurprisingly taken by Luo Yun, causing many to stomp their feet in regret.

But some quickly grew puzzled, turning to look towards Jiang Shi, thinking deeply. Why was this guy so quiet?

With his character, he should not be so indifferent?

Could it be that he’s not interested in Blood Nether Soil?

Originally, they thought, during the contest for Blood Nether Soil, Jiang Shi and Luo Yun would vie until the skies darken, perhaps even battle afterward, but from start to finish, Jiang Shi remained exceedingly calm.

As if he had no interest in anything.

Leaving everyone deeply puzzled.

"Damn it, this guy’s changed his character?"

Someone cursed inwardly, feeling quite helpless.
