I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

Auction in progressAt this moment, a steady voice came over.

”Two Family Heads, the auction at Myriad Treasures Tower is about to begin. Could it be that the two of you wish to miss out on the immortal source pill?”

A refined, middle-aged man dressed in white robes arrived on the wind, with a young male and female Cultivator behind him.

This was Mu Fengzi, the Sect Master of the Xuanmu Immortal Sect. The Xuanmu Immortal Sect had an Old Ancestor at the True Immortal Ninth Layer Realm overseeing it.

Han Zhen snorted coldly and said, ”You Lei, I will settle scores with you after the auction ends.”

You Lei was not to be outdone and responded, ”Han Zhen, if you want to fight, I am ready at any time.”

Han Zhen glanced at You Lei but did not respond to him. Instead, he looked at Mu Fengzi and said, ”Sect Master Mu, long time no see.”

”I didn’t expect that even you would come for this auction of the immortal source pill.”

Mu Fengzi smiled slightly and said, ”Head of the Han Family, I presume no Cultivator in the True Immortal Realm can resist the temptation of the immortal source pill.”

Han Zhen laughed loudly and said, ”Of course. As long as it is an Immortal Rank Force, they all want to obtain the immortal source pill.”

”Besides our three major forces, the Hall Master of the Black Cloud Hall and the Head of the Lu Family have also come.”

The Black Cloud Hall and the Lu Family were both Immortal Rank Forces with experts at the True Immortal Eighth Layer Realm overseeing them, placing them at the top among Immortal Rank Forces.

Mu Fengzi cupped his hands and said with a smile, ”Head of the Han Family, Head of the You Family, my Xuanmu Immortal Sect will head into the Myriad Treasures Tower first.”

Afterward, he led the two young Cultivators behind him into the Myriad Treasures Tower.

Han Zhen glanced at You Lei, snorted coldly, and led the young descendants of his Family into the Myriad Treasures Tower.

Before long, many more Immortal Rank Forces arrived one after another.

Yun Mo’s expression was grave as he said, ”So many forces have come to the Myriad Treasures Tower; they must all be here to obtain the immortal source pill.”

Yun Mo felt a wave of pressure in his heart. Among the many forces that had arrived this time, there were too many that were stronger than the Yun Family. He feared the Yun Family would have no chance at the immortal source pill.

The Second Elder of the Yun Family behind him said, ”Family Head, as long as there is a sliver of a chance, we cannot give up.”

”Furthermore, an auction is a competition of financial resources. We have brought ten million Immortal Stones this time.”

Yun Mo nodded and said, ”Let’s go, we are entering the Myriad Treasures Tower as well.”

Watching the people from the various forces enter the Myriad Treasures Tower one after another, the gathered Cultivators discussed among themselves:

”The Myriad Treasures Tower auctioning the immortal source pill has attracted quite a few forces. It looks like the competition for the immortal source pill will be extremely intense.”

”That’s right. Every force has come prepared this time; no one wants to give up on the immortal source pill.”

Qin Yi, dressed in black robes, arrived in front of the Myriad Treasures Tower. With a movement of his figure, he walked inside.

The interior of the Myriad Treasures Tower was divided into three levels. In the center of the first level was a rectangular auction stage, and seated directly below the auction stage were people from the various forces.

The second level consisted of private rooms prepared for the major forces participating in the auction.

Like this time, forces overseen by experts at the True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer were all arranged in the private rooms on the second level.

As for the third level, it was where the high-ranking members of the Myriad Treasures Tower resided; ordinary people could not go up to the third level.

The staff here did not recognize Qin Yi, so they led him to a seat on the first level for the auction.

Qin Yi did not care about this and found a seat to sit down.

Soon, an old man dressed in gray robes appeared on the auction stage, his Aura unfathomable.

”Hello everyone, welcome to the auction of our Myriad Treasures Tower. I am Old Wang, the host of this auction.”

Old Wang introduced himself with a smile. Suddenly, his True Immortal Ninth Layer Realm Aura erupted, enveloping the entire auction venue, and he said coldly:

”Everyone who has come to participate in our Myriad Treasures Tower auction must abide by our rules. If anyone dares to make a move to snatch the auction treasures,”

”or dares to bid recklessly, do not blame me for being impolite.”

The people from the various forces seated below trembled, their expressions filled with fear. The Myriad Treasures Tower was an Immortal Monarch Grade Force.

Even if they were given ten thousand guts, they would not dare to cause trouble in the Myriad Treasures Tower, so they said one after another:

”Old Wang, we are all here to participate in the auction and will definitely abide by the rules of the Myriad Treasures Tower.”

”That’s right, the Myriad Treasures Tower is an Immortal Monarch Grade Force; how could we dare to be presumptuous here.”

”Old Wang, hurry up and start the auction. We are all very much looking forward to what the auction treasures are this time.”

Old Wang withdrew his Aura and nodded with satisfaction. He said, ”Now, this auction officially begins.”

As soon as Old Wang finished speaking, a graceful and beautiful attendant walked up carrying a long box.

Old Wang flipped his hand, and the box was opened, revealing a white Immortal Artifact sword that emitted a sharp Qi.

Old Wang said with a smile, ”This is an Immortal Rank Spiritual Artifact named Cold Moon Sword. The starting bid is one million Immortal Stones.”

”Each bid increment must not be lower than ten thousand Immortal Stones. The auction now begins.”

Immediately, the Cultivators below became boisterous and discussed among themselves:

”As expected of the Myriad Treasures Tower, the first item is already an Immortal Rank Spiritual Artifact.”

”That’s right, and it’s a sword-type Immortal Artifact. If one keeps the Cold Moon Sword by their side for a long time, they might be able to comprehend Sword Intent, which is of great benefit to a Sword Cultivator.”

A Cultivator shouted a bid, ”I bid one million one hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

”You want the Cold Moon Sword with one million one hundred thousand Immortal Stones? I bid one million five hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

”One million six hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

”...”

A Sword Cultivator dressed in white robes said, ”I, Bai Xiu, bid two million two hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

A moment later, Old Wang asked with a smile, ”Two million two hundred thousand Immortal Stones, going once.”

”Two million two hundred thousand Immortal Stones, going twice.”

The Cultivators below looked hesitant, and in the end, no one continued to raise the bid.

”Two million two hundred thousand Immortal Stones, going three times.”

Old Wang said, ”The Cold Moon Sword is won by Bai Xiu. After the auction ends, go to the treasure room on the first level to collect the Cold Moon Sword.”

Immediately after, Old Wang said with a smile, ”The next item is the Immortal Grade Martial Skill Nine Steps of Trampling Heaven. The starting bid is one million Immortal Stones.”

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up. The Nine Steps of Trampling Heaven could indeed be bought back for his clansmen to Cultivate. However, Qin Yi did not bid immediately.

A Cultivator below shouted a bid, ”One million three hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

”One million five hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

”...”

”Two million five hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

The Cultivators in the auction venue did not continue to bid. Old Wang said, ”Two million five hundred thousand Immortal Stones, going once.”

At this moment, Qin Yi said, ”Two million six hundred thousand Immortal Stones.”

In the end, Qin Yi won the Immortal Grade Martial Skill Nine Steps of Trampling Heaven for two million six hundred thousand Immortal Stones.

Sitting in the back on the first level, Yun Mo heard Qin Yi’s voice and said in a grave tone, ”I didn’t expect that Patriarch Qin would also come.”

The Second Elder of the Yun Family sighed and said, ”I hope Qin Yi does not manage to win the immortal source pill; otherwise, Tianyuan City will truly belong to the Qin Family.”

...

As item after item was sold, the Cultivators’ expressions were excited, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Next was the auction segment for the immortal source pill.

Old Wang did not dawdle and said, ”Next is the auction segment for the immortal source pill. Our Myriad Treasures Tower has brought out a total of twenty immortal source pills to be auctioned this time.”

Immediately after, an attendant walked up carrying twenty small boxes.

Old Wang flipped his hand, and one small box was opened, inside of which lay a crystal-clear immortal source pill, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.
