In front of a magnificently opulent building.
Azure Auction House, five large characters hung high above it.
At the same time, in front of the Azure Auction House.
Many figures with powerful auras were already lining up, heading into the auction house.
A rough estimate showed their numbers reaching thousands.
Moreover, their cultivation levels were all above the Dao Integration stage, with not a single one in the Void Return stage.
Dao Integration seventh heaven was common, those below the third heaven were like dogs.
As for cultivators in the seventh or eighth heavens, they had to obediently queue up and wait to enter.
Li Qi and Xu Tianzong walked side by side.
Li Qi looked at the snake-like queue. If it were before his transmigration in his previous life,
He would have even thought it was some supermarket selling eggs at a discount, attracting a large crowd of elderly people to queue up.
"What a long line."
Li Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzong revealed a slight smile.
"Don't worry about this, Daoist friend Li. We have VIP entrance tickets, so we naturally have exclusive access."
As he spoke, Xu Tianzong looked towards the side of the main entrance of the Azure Auction House.
There, there was a slightly smaller entrance than the main gate.
Although the entrance was small, its luxurious decoration was in no way inferior to the main gate, and it even seemed to subtly surpass it.
At the same time, a sparse number of figures were entering through this small door. The auras emanating from these figures were incredibly terrifying.
That was the VIP passage.
"Daoist friend Li, follow me over there."
Xu Tianzong led Li Qi towards the VIP passage.
Li Qi nodded slightly.
At the same time, Li Qi's gaze fell upon a seemingly ordinary figure in the common passage, a cultivator at the third heaven of Dao Integration.
Li Qi nodded imperceptibly.
The natal spirit puppet had also arrived, and everything was proceeding perfectly according to his plan.
At this moment, the two had already arrived at the entrance of the VIP passage.
At the entrance of the VIP passage, two alluring and graceful attendants stood quietly on either side.
The strength of these two attendants was actually at the Void Return stage.
Seeing Xu Tianzong at the seventh heaven of Dao Integration, accompanied by Li Qi at the third heaven of Dao Integration.
The two attendants showed a slight surprise in their eyes, but their expressions and smiles remained very gentle.
"Esteemed sir, this is the VIP passage. Please present your VIP entrance ticket."
The individuals who had previously entered through the special passage were all powerful cultivators at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration.
Many people in the common passage had already noticed the two special individuals, Xu Tianzong and Li Qi.
Xu Tianzong naturally noticed the gazes cast upon them but paid no mind.
With a swipe of his hand, the VIP entrance ticket appeared in his palm.
"By the way, can I bring someone in with this VIP ticket?"
"Esteemed sir, you are a VIP and have a private VIP box. You can bring even ten people without issue."
Seeing the VIP entrance ticket in his hand, the smiles of the two attendants became even more humble. They slightly bowed and respectfully welcomed them.
"Please come in, sir. This way."
Xu Tianzong nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Li Qi, and prepared to enter.
Just then, from the common entrance, a dissatisfied voice rang out.
"Hmph, how can someone at the seventh heaven of Dao Integration get a VIP ticket, while I, at the peak of the seventh heaven, cannot? This Azure Auction House is too disorganized."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianzong casually glanced over. At the entrance of the common passage, a cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration was speaking with displeasure.
But the next moment, before Xu Tianzong could say anything.
Several people next to the cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration saw Xu Tianzong's face and were immediately startled.
"Fellow Daoist, don't speak carelessly. That person is Xu Tianzong. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"Xu Tianzong! That powerful cultivator who defeated a ninth heaven Dao Integration expert while at the seventh heaven of Dao Integration! No wonder he could get an entrance ticket to the Azure Auction House!"
Exclamations suddenly rang out from the side!
"Xu... Xu Tianzong!"
Hearing this, the face of the cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration instantly turned pale, completely losing his previous displeased expression.
At the same time, Xu Tianzong's gaze happened to fall upon him.
Originally, Xu Tianzong had just glanced casually, and Xu Tianzong himself had no particular intention.
But in the eyes of this cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration, it was interpreted as Xu Tianzong already targeting him because of his words.
His body trembled violently, feeling as if death was so close to him.
"I was blind and did not recognize you, Senior Xu. Please spare me this time."
Hearing this sudden change in attitude, Xu Tianzong was also slightly taken aback.
Li Qi's gaze beside him became even more peculiar.
"Forget it, let's go into the auction house, Daoist friend Xu. Don't waste time."
"Indeed, Daoist friend Li is right."
Without dwelling on the sudden incident, Xu Tianzong and Li Qi entered the Azure Auction House.
After Xu Tianzong left, the cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration finally felt as if he had been granted a general amnesty.
The invisible oppressive feeling that had been vaguely enveloping him finally dissipated.
In his view, Xu Tianzong was capable of dealing with super experts at the ninth heaven of Dao Integration. If Xu Tianzong truly intended to act against him, he wouldn't even know how he died.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness. Why on earth did I speak such nonsense just now."
This cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration couldn't help but slap himself.
Immediately, he walked out of the auction house queue and left the Void Black Market without looking back.
At this point, he dared not continue to participate.
What if, after the auction ended, Xu Tianzong saw him again, remembered his disrespect, and sought trouble with him?
Then he would probably die without knowing how.
"Within a hundred years, I will not come to the Void Black Market again!"
The figure of this cultivator at the peak of the seventh heaven of Dao Integration flashed, and he had already left the Void Black Market at the fastest speed.
This minor incident did not concern Li Qi and Xu Tianzong.
Upon entering through the VIP passage, a well-dressed attendant immediately stepped forward.
After the attendant glanced at Xu Tianzong's VIP entrance ticket, he quickly bowed and said.
"Sir, please follow me. I will lead you to your VIP box."
Xu Tianzong nodded and, along with Li Qi, followed the attendant.
Along the way, he could see several familiar figures ahead and behind him.
These were the powerful cultivators who had visited Xu Tianzong a few days prior.
"Daoist friend Xu, it's been a few days."
Chen Yixian's voice came from the boxes ahead, and then Chen Yixian also emerged from one of them.
"It has been a long time, Daoist friend Chen."
After a brief exchange, Xu Tianzong and Li Qi arrived at their designated box.
The box was extremely luxurious, with all kinds of pastries and fruits readily available.
The attendant who had led Xu Tianzong in waited quietly at the door without entering.
If Xu Tianzong had any needs, he could call him directly. If not, he would wait quietly at the door.
Looking out from the box.
Below, in the many seats, scattered individuals were entering. That was the common seating area.
At the very front, there was a large stage.
After surveying the facilities within the auction house, Li Qi and Xu Tianzong quietly awaited the start of the auction.
Not long after, more and more cultivators entered the common seating area, and it seemed about to be completely filled.
At the same time, Li Qi's eyes flashed slightly. Looking down from the box, in a certain direction, the second natal spirit puppet was already seated.
After some more time passed.
It seemed as if no new cultivators were entering the venue.
The atmosphere quieted down.
On the high stage, an old man dressed in auctioneer's attire slowly entered.
