Successful in bidding for the Four Symbols Compass, Chu Nan was overjoyed.

The Five Elements Treasure Mirror and the Four Symbols Compass, both imperial-grade Spirit Martial items, were the core of his Cloud Sea formation. Acquiring them meant Chu Nan's Cloud Sea was more than halfway complete.

The auction continued, enduring for three days, during which over a hundred precious items were auctioned off.

These auction items were almost entirely divided among the martial artists, with few left unsold.

Zhi Qingge and Zhi Ruo also bid several times, obtaining the rare treasures they desired, of course, with Chu Nan supporting them from behind the scenes.

After winning the Four Symbols Compass, Chu Nan participated in a few more bids, acquiring several rare treasures.

The originally amassed spirit stones were nearly exhausted after rounds of bidding.

But Chu Nan was not at all anxious. He fixed his eyes on the female martial artist on stage and muttered to himself, "It should be soon."

"The next auction item is rather special; it is neither a Cultivation Technique nor a Martial Skill, nor is it an elixir or a physical treasure, but rather a token."

The female martial artist took out a finely carved iron token, displaying it to the crowd, saying, "Needless to say, this is a token personally crafted by the East City Demon Blood Pavilion Master, Chu Nan."

"With this token, Chu Nan can cure the Demon Blood affliction ten times, and any Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, even one in a berserk state, can be restored by the Demon Blood Pavilion Master back to their original self!"

Upon hearing this, the Zhi Family Martial Artists all straightened in their seats.

Recently, Chu Nan established the Demon Blood Pavilion to treat the Zhi Family Martial Artists' Demon Blood afflictions, which quickly spread throughout the entire Zhi Family Secret Realm.

Despite the extremely high cost, the place remained bustling, with people flocking to it eagerly.

After all, the Blood Array had not yet been completed, and it couldn't solve the problem of the Zhi Family Martial Artists who had fallen into a berserk state. Therefore, Chu Nan's importance was highlighted through successful treatments time and again.

In the Zhi Family Secret Realm, which family doesn't have a few clan members who have fallen into a berserk state?

These are all kin by bloodline, and even if they turn into killing monsters, they are unwilling to abandon them easily.

Now, with the opportunity for recovery so close at hand, how could anyone not be thrilled?

However, Chu Nan founded the Demon Blood Pavilion for his cultivation, treating only a maximum of ten people per day, making it challenging even for powerful and well-connected Zhi Family Martial Artists to seize an opportunity.

"I didn't expect Chu Nan to auction off additional treatment slots!"

"I queued for seven days and nights at the Demon Blood Pavilion without getting a chance; now that the opportunity is within reach, I must not miss it."

"My father has been in a berserk state for over ten years; I can hardly bear it anymore. If I get this opportunity, I can finally be relieved."

The auction hall was once again abuzz; although these ten opportunities were a zero-cost deal for Chu Nan, for the Zhi Family Martial Artists, it was a chance to save their family members!

Seeing the atmosphere heating up, the female martial artist immediately quoted a price, "A token from the Demon Blood Pavilion Master, starting price... thirty thousand spirit stones!"

In the Demon Blood Pavilion, the value of a single transaction with Chu Nan frequently exceeded a hundred thousand spirit stones; this token could treat ten people, and the starting price of thirty thousand was already greatly underestimated.

However, there were too many people eager for this token, and the starting price of thirty thousand couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd.

"Fifty thousand spirit stones!"

"One hundred thousand spirit stones…"

"One hundred thirty thousand spirit stones!"

...

A heated bidding war among the Zhi Family Martial Artists quickly drove the price of this token up to a staggering one hundred thirty thousand spirit stones!

This was a result of the high pricing and scarcity strategy Chu Nan employed after establishing the Demon Blood Pavilion.

If Chu Nan had charged exceptionally low fees for treating Zhi Family Martial Artists and had no limit on the number of treated individuals, the value of this token would have been greatly diminished, far from reaching the current effect.

Ge Bai, the Blood Spring Hall Master, gritted his teeth in frustration as he watched the bid for Chu Nan's token steadily rise.

Watching Chu Nan amass spirit stones was more painful than killing him.

Yet Ge Bai had no way to stop it, forced to watch helplessly as the bid continued to climb.

However, as the bid reached one hundred eighty thousand, it started to slow down, after all, one hundred eighty thousand spirit stones could rival an imperial-grade Spirit Martial item!

Nevertheless, many Zhi Family Martial Artists were still unwilling to give up, each trying to claim this token, exchanging looks and holding their ground.

Soon, Chu Nan noticed these Zhi Family Martial Artists organizing themselves, seemingly discussing something.

Before long, notable Zhi Family Martial Artists formed small groups, pooling resources to bid together!

After all, it was a total of ten slots, while some only needed one; joining forces to win the bid was the best choice.

Now with shared costs, the bid price once again soared, quickly surpassing two hundred thousand spirit stones.

Eventually, a group of seven secured it for two hundred thirty thousand spirit stones.

Chu Nan rejoiced inwardly, thinking, "With these spirit stones, I should be able to get that treasure."

The female martial artist took the stage again, her expression suddenly turning somber, "Next is the final and headline auction item of our auction!"

With these words, everyone sat up straight, their faces filled with anticipation.

Within the private boxes, various spiritual senses emerged—these were the powerhouses from the Zhi Family Secret Realm, here specifically for this final auction item.

"Announcing the Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method, a Nine Heavens Secret Technique!"

With a stern expression, the female martial artist introduced, "Martial Artists in the Celestial Crossing Realm cannot break through to the Unity Realm, so our Celestial Crossing Realm sages utilized countless means to eventually find a way to continue advancing in strength: the Nine Heavens Secret Technique, which can allow a Martial Artist to advance further in the Cloud Sea Realm!"

"The starting price for this technique... one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

This Nine Heavens cultivation technique was the headline item of this auction, something no Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist could refuse.

Even the Zhi Family or the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall had a fervent desire for the Nine Heavens Secret Technique.

The moment the female martial artist announced the bid, many ancient Cloud Sea Realm cultivators began to fight over it.

"One hundred thirty thousand spirit stones!"

"I bid one hundred fifty thousand!"

"One hundred eighty thousand…"

Even Ge Bai stood up with reddened eyes, "The Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method must be ours at the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Although the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall had many Nine Heavens Secret Techniques, the Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method was exceptionally unique.

Cultivating this method not only allowed one to form the Nine Heavens, but it also had the power to harmonize the spiritual power of different attributes within the body and extend lifespan.

While increasing combat power is paramount, who would refuse a longer lifespan?

Many ancient Nine Heavens cultivators in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall were waiting for the Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method to extend their lives!

Inside the box, Chu Nan frowned slightly, the fervor surrounding the bidding for the Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method somewhat exceeding his expectations.

Although he had not yet entered the Cloud Sea, he was already preparing to invest for the future.

Although the Nine Secrets Chang Geng Method didn't have overly prominent advantages, it was balanced and harmonious, capable of stabilizing various differing attribute powers within Chu Nan.

This could greatly help the stability of his Cloud Sea, and Chu Nan was determined to obtain it.

However, the current scene worried Chu Nan; the spirit stones he possessed, combined with the auction proceeds, amounted to only about three hundred thousand spirit stones.

He initially thought it would be easy to win, but the current situation seemed to make it far from easy.
