And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 44

Those on the fourth level were all super forces, such as the Daluo Sect, the Crossing Karma Hall, and the Mystic Light Sect. Basically, the range of influence of the sects on the first to second level was relatively large.

However, after reaching the third level, it would basically stabilize. After all, everyone was a sect with higher strength. They would not be easily destroyed or their strength would drop drastically. After reaching the fourth level, these sects were almost fixed, as they were among the strongest.

However, now that they saw new faces, it was fine. They originally thought that some reclusive family had reappeared in the world. When their spiritual sense swept over, they were all at the Foundation Establishment stage. The highest cultivation was only at the Dragon Transformation stage. This simply made everyone’s jaws drop.

Looking at their retreating figures, the usually calm fourth level became extraordinarily lively.

“The sun has risen from the west today. Just who are those people? Manager Fan and the others personally welcomed them?”

The people who spoke were powerful Sect Masters. Usually, they would exchange information or communicate with each other. However, after searching for a moment in their minds, they did not have any memories. These people’s faces were really unfamiliar, it was likely that they had never seen them before.

“I don’t know. I see that their spiritual power is very low. It’s a little difficult for them to enter the second level with this kind of identity. How could they enter the fifth level?”

“Something must be wrong. How could they have such a cultivation level, and yet, Manager Fan was treating them with this level of respect?”

Someone guessed, “Could it be some hermit family or sect that deliberately used a spiritual artifact or spiritual power to lower their cultivation level? I can’t see any flaws at all.”

“I think it’s very possible. Maybe they are in disguise. Previously, Manager Fan and the others were looking for them on the fourth floor. It could be them. If It’s true, they must have big background.”

These big sects could only remember the names of the forces that were comparable to them. Small sects like Supreme Purity Sect were countless and were from other places. How could they remember their names? Thus, a beautiful misunderstanding happened.

They thought that Wu Huaqing and the others had deliberately created the illusion that they were weak. Perhaps they were from some mysterious big sect or force. Little did they know that these were their true cultivation levels.

All the way to the fifth floor, there were even fewer people here, and the aura they emitted was even more powerful. Fan Baohua finally stopped and led everyone to the private room.

Fortunately, Wu Huaqing and the others did not have to face the gazes in the hall. Otherwise, they would not have the mood to participate in this auction.

The private room was made of special materials and was set up with an exquisite formation. It could isolate any spiritual sense, so it could be said that it was highly confidential. However, the wall in front of it was transparent, so they could clearly see the scene on the auction stage below.

There were very few private rooms on each floor. Those who were in charge of them were all extraordinary figures. Now, Wu Huaqing and the others had become one of them.

Wu Huaqing wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked around at the ingenious and peerless decorations and facilities. He felt like he was in a dream, which was unrealistic.

Originally, the Taiqing sect could only be located on the first floor, but now it was like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, and it had actually reached the fifth floor! No one dared to believe it. On the other hand, the other disciples also had dreamy expressions on their faces.

And all of this was because of Gu Xi!

After settling Wu Huaqing and the others down, Fan Baohua respectfully said, “Young Master Gu, please come this way.”

Wu Huaqing and the others had puzzled expressions on their faces. They could not help but ask, “Can’t he be with us?”

Fan Baohua smiled slightly. “Young Master Gu is still up there, but according to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone can only stay here.”

If they went any higher, would that not be the top level of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce! Wu Huaqing could not help but swallow his saliva. He could not help but sneak a glance at Gu Xi. However, he saw that his expression was calm as if he had long expected this.

Wu Huaqing’s entire worldview had changed.

The arrangements of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce were in line with Gu Xi’s intentions. He was still thinking about how to avoid the people of the sect. After all, there were some things that he could not reveal right now.

“I’ll meet up with you guys later.”

Wu Huaqing hurriedly nodded in agreement. After this series of events, his tone carried a sense of respect that even he himself could not detect.

“Go do your thing. There’s nothing much to do here.”

Seeing Gu Xi and Fan Baohua gradually walk away, the people of the Supreme Purity Sect could not regain their senses for a long time.

“Am I dreaming? Can someone pinch me? We’re actually on the fifth floor of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce! Those big forces and sects are just waiting downstairs!”

The more a disciple spoke, the more excited he became until his companion beside him really pinched him. The clear pain told them that all of this was not an illusion.

Wu Huaqing finally woke up from his shock and excitement. He looked at Gu Xi’s retreating figure, and his brows were filled with deep thought.

On the other side, Fan Baohua brought Gu Xi to the sixth floor.

This place was not open to the public. Very few people were able to patronize it. Within a hundred years, there were only a handful of people. For Gu Xi to be able to enter this place, it was obvious that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had taken a fancy to him.

“Young Master Gu, please take your seat. If there’s anything you need, just give me your orders.”

Gu Xi was the only person on the sixth floor! It was as if this place was specially made for him, and he was able to see everything that was happening below. It could be said that he was able to see everything at a glance.

Bang!

As the spirit hammer in the auctioneer’s hand rang out, it was neither too loud nor too soft, but it caused the originally noisy venue to instantly become quiet. Everyone’s eyes were burning as they fell onto the center of the stage.

The stage design of the auction was very ingenious, and with the operation of the array formation, regardless of which floor it was, everyone was able to clearly see and hear the auctioneer’s voice.

“Thank you all for coming to the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. I now announce that the auction has officially begun. Please welcome the first item.”

As the sound of his voice faded, a pair of maidservants walked over with pallets in their hands. They had beautiful faces, and all of them were charming and moving. Even their cultivation levels were above the Foundation Establishment stage.
