The auction of beauties had begun.
There weren't many, just thirty in total. After all, with auctions held monthly, the true beauties were slowly sold off, becoming a scarce resource. Fortunately, the Daoyi Sect's divine skills were vast, and its network of smaller sects was spread throughout China. As long as a woman was a beauty, she would be selected. This allowed such auctions—and the endless acquisition of wealth—to continue indefinitely.
Then, from the Heroes' Auction, they could buy the Spiritual Medicine they wanted to cultivate their genius disciples.
This ability to amass wealth earned Zhang Bin's quiet admiration. It was an achievement he could not yet hope to match. Only at times like this did Zhang Bin realize that what he had done was far from enough; compared to the Daoyi Sect, his wealth was like a sesame seed next to a watermelon.
In fact, Zhang Bin had an even deeper insight.
The reason Si Yangze has cultivated so quickly, reaching the Golden Core Realm Peak at such a young age and merely a thread away from Great Perfection, isn't just his superb talent. It's because he's continuously earning merit through the Daoyi Sect. There might be many ways he's earning it, but the newly established Immortal Palace is one of them, and it has brought him a great deal of merit.
Since ancient times, it has been said that beautiful women have cruel destinies and talented women face many difficulties. This wasn't because they had done something to anger the gods, but because their beauty was too enthralling and their talents too plentiful, attracting the covetous gazes of men. As a result, beauties and talented women alike often endured many tribulations.
However, the establishment of the Immortal Palace gathered them together, allowing them to be nurtured, giving them a chance to become famous, and helping them find a good future.
This was a tremendous amount of merit.
Si Yangze is absolutely not to be underestimated; he is a man of exceptional intelligence. Perhaps before long, he'll reach Golden Core Realm Great Perfection and then advance to the Nascent Soul Realm.
If Si Yangze grew powerful too quickly, it would not be good for Zhang Bin, especially since Si Yangze had never looked favorably upon the Taiqing Sect. Last time, he had even been forced to compensate Zhang Bin with a great deal of Spiritual Medicine. If he became powerful enough, he would definitely move to suppress the Taiqing Sect.
I also need to earn merit more quickly. Si Yangze, I will trample you underfoot and make sure you never rise again! Zhang Bin vowed internally.
As a potential enemy and rival, Si Yangze naturally warranted his extra vigilance.
Coincidentally, Si Yangze was sitting in a special seat at that very moment, his cold gaze fixed on Zhang Bin as he sneered inwardly. Hmph... Taiqing Sect. I really don't believe there's a Hidden Door Sect in this world that can rival the Kunlun Sect and the Shushan Sect. Even if there is, they still provoked me, Si Yangze. They caused me great embarrassment, and I will have my revenge. I've found many ways to earn merit, and my cultivation is progressing by leaps and bounds. In a year at most, I can reach Golden Core Realm Great Perfection. If I continue to accumulate merit, I might even break through to the Nascent Soul and Fusion Stages. Then, I will flatten the Taiqing Sect. For now, I'll let you enjoy your brief moment of insolence.
Though he hailed from Kunlun, he was now the Sect Master of the Daoyi Sect and could no longer be called a disciple of the Kunlun Sect. Last time, he had borrowed Zhou Tianyu's power but still failed to suppress Zhang Bin. Instead, the event led Zhou Tianyu to hold Zhang Bin in high regard, and Si Yangze was forced to compensate him with a large amount of Spiritual Medicine.
This was the first time the Daoyi Sect had ever suffered a loss. Outraged and furious, he viewed the incident as the greatest humiliation of his life.
Therefore, he spared no effort in helping Lv Jianben, intending to use him as a pawn against Zhang Bin and the Taiqing Sect. After all, Lv Jianben would strike wherever he was told.
Lv Jianben was also sneering inwardly. Zhang Bin, don't get too cocky. I'll make you pay a dear price. I'm no ordinary man; I'm a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator. Right now, my Lü family seems to have suffered a huge loss and become a laughingstock, but it's actually a blessing in disguise. Si Yangze is treating me much better than before. Obviously, he wants to deal with you and the Taiqing Sect, and he needs my Lü family as an ally. After this, I'm sure I can learn some secret techniques from him and receive his guidance. I might even break through to the Golden Core Late Stage! Hehe, once I'm strong enough, I'll annihilate your entire sect. For now, I'll keep clashing with you head-on to curry favor with Si Yangze. That's the only way I'll get what I want.
The two old foxes of the Golden Core Realm were scheming, their plans seemingly flawless. Such enemies were truly terrifying.
To Zhang Bin, however, they were not his most powerful enemies. His truly formidable and terrifying adversaries were the Youming Sect, the battleship from Black Prison Star, and even the one thousand horrifyingly strong SSSS-Class Genetic Enhancers from the second layer of America's Underground Biological Base.
He had to grow powerful quickly, or he would die a miserable death.
"Wow, the beauties this time are really stunning!" Ma Rufei exclaimed in shock.
Chen Chaoyue and Zhang Haijun were also staring at the thirty beauties standing gracefully on the stage, their eyes burning with desire. They were practically drooling.
Zhang Bin's gaze also landed on them. An expression of intoxicated pleasure appeared on his face, and his heart began to pound wildly.
Each of the thirty beauties on stage was over 1.7 meters tall, with truly devilish figures. Their faces were also exquisite, enough to draw praise and infatuation from any man. Some appeared passionate and enthusiastic, some as cold as ice, some elegant and charming, some flirtatious and sexy, and some as noble as princesses. They all had different temperaments, but each was a rare, world-class beauty.
Dressed in translucent silk garments and gathered together, they presented a sight of such beauty that it stunned every man present.
So there are this many different types of beauties... And beauty can reach such heights...
All the men daydreamed. If a man could marry all of these women, how blissful would that be? Only the emperors of old could have enjoyed such a fantasy, right?
"Lady number one, 18 years old, height 1.75 meters, measurements…"
The host, herself a great beauty, introduced the first lady with boundless enthusiasm, generously praising all her features. Her words made many men's hearts flutter. Longing appeared on their faces; they all desired to obtain this jewel and take her back to nurture her. They knew that once they did, winning her over would not be difficult.
"The starting bid is 1,000,000!" the host exclaimed excitedly.
This starting bid was a truly astronomical price, enough to scare an ordinary person to death. However, it couldn't intimidate these Cultivators and wealthy tycoons.
The Daoyi Sect's method is truly excellent. They not only earn a huge fortune but also accumulate a vast amount of merit.
"2,000,000…"
"3,000,000…"
"…"
"8,000,000…"
The bids flew, and the price quickly reached 8,000,000.
Zhang Bin suddenly shouted, "10,000,000!"
Lv Jianben laughed maniacally to himself. Gahahaha, I've been waiting for you. Now watch me!
He bellowed, "20,000,000!"
Everyone was stunned. Damn it, are these two arch-enemies going at it again?
