After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 75 Advanced Profound Rank Sword Technique

"The last item is a precious treasure that Yipinju has specially prepared for everyone to celebrate the successful completion of the expansion of Wushan City!" Li Lin said mysteriously.

"What treasure! Stop beating around the bush!"

"That's it!"

Everyone started talking again.

"A high-level Xuan-rank sword technique!"

"What? A high-level Xuan-rank sword technique!"

The people on the first floor were instantly shocked, since most of them cultivated Yellow-rank techniques, and only a few, like Ye Xiaobai who were slightly wealthier, could afford a low-level Profound-rank technique.

The people on the second floor were also greatly shocked to hear about the advanced Xuan-level cultivation technique. Although they had heard that there were valuable treasures in this auction, they did not expect it to be such a precious sword technique.

The Taixu Wuji Sword Technique that Ye Xiaobai bought before was a low-level Xuan-rank technique. Later, he heard that it was the most common Xuan-rank technique, and it still cost Ye Xiaobai 1000 spirit stones.

Another point is that high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques are generally kept secret by sects, so there are very few such techniques available outside the sect, and their prices are naturally extremely high.

"Really?! Aren't high-level Xuan-rank cultivation techniques forbidden from being sold outside the sect?" someone in the crowd questioned.

"I can vouch for it with the reputation of Yipinju. We have verified that it is indeed genuine, and it does not come from any particular sect. The consignor is a family with a long history, which has now declined and is now considering selling this family heirloom!" Li Lin said righteously.

"Oh I see!"

"Moreover, as everyone knows, sword techniques are the most valuable among cultivation methods. Therefore, this high-level Xuan-rank sword technique—Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon Technique—has a starting bid of 10 spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than 5000 spirit stones! Let the auction begin!"

"11 million spiritual stones!"

"12 million spiritual stones!"

These are mostly the prices being quoted by people on the second floor.

"I'll offer two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

The voice on the third floor finally came out, and Ye Xiaobai recognized it, but the venue was too noisy, so he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Three hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Another voice rang out from the third floor.

Hearing the bid from the third floor, everyone was quite surprised. After all, two or three hundred thousand spirit stones exceeded the wealth of most of the cultivators present.

Ye Xiaobai only had about 100,000 spirit stones in his storage bag. Even if he sold his weapons, pills and other miscellaneous items, he could still get tens of thousands of spirit stones. Ye Xiaobai had thought he was already very rich and didn't lack spirit stones. But now, compared with others, he realized that he was really just a nobody.

"Five hundred thousand spirit stones!" The first bidder had already raised the price to five hundred thousand spirit stones. This high-level Xuan-rank sword technique was indeed too tempting, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Xiaobai was also very tempted, but he didn't have enough spirit stones in his storage bag, so he could only sigh in vain.

Looking at Ye Xiaobai's excited eyes, Chen Ling smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ye, do you also want that sword technique?"

"Of course I want it!" Ye Xiaobai blurted out without the slightest hesitation.

He then turned around and looked at Chen Ling in shock, saying, "Junior Sister Chen, you don't have that many spirit stones, do you?"

"We don't have that many spirit stones," Chen Ling said calmly.

"You scared me!" Ye Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Chen Ling was a rich woman who could casually spend hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

"I was just asking casually!" Chen Ling said softly, then looked down to check her storage bag.

Ye Xiaobai didn't pay much attention to it anymore and started to focus on what price this high-level Xuan-rank sword technique could fetch.

Finally, the most prized item was acquired by a mysterious buyer on the third floor for 550,000 spirit stones, drawing envious glances from countless people.

Although the price is indeed high, it should be considered worthwhile by the buyer.

With the auction of this final sword manual completed, the auction house event came to a complete close.

Next comes the moment when spirit stones are exchanged for goods.

Ye Xiaobai and the others who won the bids went to the backstage of the auction to pay and collect their treasures.

The other bidders had already claimed their items and started leaving, while Ye Xiaobai and the others who had just started bidding began to collect their items.

As Ye Xiaobai walked down the corridor to collect his auctioned items, a familiar figure brushed past him. Because the figure was wearing a mask to conceal his identity, Ye Xiaobai couldn't recognize him by his silhouette. However, Ye Xiaobai had cultivated the "One Breath, A Thousand Miles" technique, so identifying a familiar person was still quite easy for him.

As soon as this person walked past Ye Xiaobai, Ye Xiaobai immediately recognized him—it was the evil cultivator Liu Yuqing!

Ye Xiaobai has now grasped the essence of swordsmanship, but his strength is still far inferior to Liu Yuqing's. Naturally, Ye Xiaobai does not dare to provoke him easily and only wants to leave this place as soon as possible after collecting the spiritual herbs.

Afterwards, Ye Xiaobai handed over the spirit stones, took the sealing grass, and hurriedly left the auction house with Chen Ling.

As soon as they stepped out of the auction house, Ye Xiaobai sensed that someone was following them. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person following them was none other than Liu Yuqing!

Ye Xiaobai was very puzzled. Everyone who entered the auction house wore masks to conceal their identities. How did Liu Yuqing recognize him? Ye Xiaobai really couldn't figure out what went wrong.

"Senior Brother Ye, let's go explore over there again!" As soon as they left the auction house, Chen Ling happily invited Ye Xiaobai to go play in other places.

Ye Xiaobai had no mood for leisure at all. The evil cultivators were following him, so it was more important to find a chance to escape as soon as possible.

"Junior sister, someone is following us. We should run away!" Ye Xiaobai said softly.

"Someone's following us. Where are they?" Chen Ling said, looking around behind her.

"Don't turn around, or he'll notice!" Ye Xiaobai immediately warned.

"What should we do then?" Chen Ling asked with a hint of worry.

"Leave Wushan City quickly, and immediately return to Sanjiang City Market by flying on your sword after leaving the city!" Ye Xiaobai said solemnly.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions, senior brother!"

A moment later, Ye Xiaobai and Chen Ling left Wushan City and immediately flew towards Sanjiang City's market on their swords.

After flying for a while, Ye Xiaobai realized that the other side was too fast and there was no way to escape.

Sure enough, half an hour later, a familiar figure appeared on a sword and blocked Ye Xiaobai's path.

"It's you!" Chen Ling recognized her first.

Ye Xiaobai wasn't too surprised to know it was Liu Yuqing.

“My little beauty, our rare opportunity to cultivate together was interrupted last time. This time we can continue our relationship!” Liu Yuqing said excitedly.

"You beast! Don't even think about it!" Chen Ling said angrily, then prepared for the next battle. Although she knew she was no match, she still wanted to continue fighting.

Hearing Chen Ling's curses, Liu Yuqing was not angry but delighted. He turned to Ye Xiaobai and said loudly, "You brat, you ruined everything last time! This time you won't escape!"

"Heh heh! You've got quite the big mouth. I hope you won't run away with your tail between your legs this time!" Ye Xiaobai mocked.

"Good, good, good! You've gotten quite the temper in just a few days! I hope you don't collapse in one move later!" Liu Yuqing retorted, after all, Ye Xiaobai had indeed collapsed after taking one of Liu Yuqing's killer moves last time.

"But before we start fighting, can I ask you how you recognized us?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.

"Sure!" Liu Yuqing said with a smile.
