No one knew why Wei Chen did not become the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect.
Logically, the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect should have been Wei Chen.
What qualifications did Musa have?
No one understood Wei Chen's thoughts. Musa becoming the first leader of the Peach Blossom Sect stirred up a huge commotion throughout the Central Domain.
People speculated whether there was some hidden reason behind it.
But no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't find an answer. Wei Chen's schemes were not something ordinary people could guess.
Although Musa's rise to become the Peach Blossom Sect Leader shocked everyone, the sect was powerful, and those who came to congratulate him, despite their doubts, offered their blessings.
Upon closer contact with Musa, they quietly sensed something unusual about him.
Musa carried an aura that exuded a faint sense of pressure; even though his strength was not yet formidable, the feeling of oppression was already quite strong.
Musa's reputation gradually spread, which was exactly what Wei Chen was most pleased to see.
As for the oppressive aura surrounding Musa, having consumed so much Dragon Blood, he naturally bore some of the dragon clan's essence.
After the Peach Blossom Sect Celebration concluded, the real highlight arrived.
High-ranking members from all factions sent representatives, bringing lavish gifts and as many Soul Stones as possible.
Everyone knew that after the celebration came the auction.
That was the expectation of the entire Central Domain.
Dragon Blood, Phoenix Blood, Xuan Gui Blood—these were all legendary substances. Through the influence of Bai Xiaosheng and Thunderstorm, everyone believed these things were real. Even the Human Race Leader, Thunderstorm, was real; how could it be fake?
The death of Master Jin initially caused a stir, but as time passed, it was gradually forgotten. Major events kept occurring one after another; who would care about Master Jin?
A mere spy from the Soul Palace—damn it, he was dead, so what?
As for the threat from the Soul Palace, those figures from the Major Forces were indifferent. With Thunderstorm around, what was there to fear?
If it collapsed, Thunderstorm would still be there to support it.
The items to be auctioned by the Peach Blossom Sect included only Divine Beast Blood, with the quantity remaining consistent as before. Rarity increased value; Wei Chen only managed to acquire that much. If there were too many, their worth would diminish. Upon seeing the list, Thunderstorm instantly realized that White Out had stock left. Originally possessing six bottles of Dragon Blood—three as rewards for the most contributing Formation Masters and three for auction—Thunderstorm had obtained them all. Now, with three more bottles of Dragon Blood appearing, Thunderstorm couldn't help but speculate that Wei Chen had plenty more Dragon Blood in reserve.
"Where on earth did Wei Chen get so much Dragon Blood? After the auction ends, I must find him to ask for some. One bottle of Dragon Blood can bring me endless benefits in the Upper Realm."
Thunderstorm silently made up his mind as the auction officially began.
Each Major Force could send only three representatives to participate in the auction.
The auction was set up in the Council Hall, featuring a high platform—a typical method used by Musa. The host of the auction was also Musa himself. After all, he had extensive experience and had hosted many auctions during his time in Wushuang City.
As the leader of the Peach Blossom Sect, it was only natural for him to preside over the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our Peach Blossom Sect's auction! We have three bottles of Dragon Blood, three bottles of Xuan Gui Blood, and three bottles of Phoenix Blood—all Divine Beast Blood, worth their weight in gold."
Musa stood on the high platform in an extremely flamboyant red robe, looking at the prominent figures of the Central Domain without a hint of nervousness.
Without any unnecessary words, Musa took out a brocade box and revealed nine bottles filled with crimson blood.
Upon seeing the nine bottles of blood, the high-ranking officials of the Central Domain's Major Forces were instantly captivated.
"The rumors were true; this is indeed Divine Beast Blood!"
"That aura definitely surpasses that of a Tenth Rank High-Level beast; it can only belong to a legendary divine beast."
"The Peach Blossom Sect is quite wealthy to be able to auction off something like this?"
"Who knows? The Peach Blossom Sect is newly established and needs to build its reputation. Auctioning Divine Beast Blood might be a last resort."
"I suppose the Peach Blossom Sect must feel quite pained about this. But for the sake of their reputation, they have no choice."
"Currently, the Peach Blossom Sect's reputation is rivaling that of the Fire Sect. There really isn't a need to auction off Divine Beast Blood."
"They're probably short on funds. The Formation System of the Peach Blossom Sect is incredibly costly; it requires vast amounts of Soul Stones to maintain its operation."
Hearing those discussions, Musa smiled slightly and said, "This Divine Beast Blood is being shared with everyone in the spirit of generosity from our Peach Blossom Sect. To be honest, we have an equal amount of Divine Beast Blood within our sect that we will not sell as private collections. This portion we are auctioning off is for the benefit of the entire Central Domain. As everyone knows, a single drop of Divine Beast Blood can have a significant effect during the Three Trials and Great Three Trials. Any force that obtains a bottle will see an increase in their number of strong individuals in a short time, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the Central Domain."
Musa boasted about the effects of Divine Beast Blood, but in reality, its impact was rather limited. A single drop could help a Soul Realm Level Four expert pass the Great Three Trials without any issue.
The leaders of the Major Forces fixated on those nine bottles, all determined to acquire them.
Musa surveyed the crowd and said with a smile, "Dragon Blood, Xuan Gui Blood, and Phoenix Blood will be auctioned together, three bottles at a time, for a total of three rounds. There will be no starting price; esteemed leaders may bid freely."
As Musa finished speaking, the leaders of the Central Domain's Major Forces fell into silence.
There was no starting bid, and that was the most frustrating part.
Who knew the value of three bottles of Divine Beast Blood?
If the person leading the bidding offered too little, they would be ridiculed.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange, with everyone's gaze fixed on those three bottles of Divine Beast Blood, their eyes filled with obsession, yet no one spoke up.
Wei Chen hid in the shadows, feeling a bit annoyed.
As for the value of Divine Beast Blood, honestly, he didn't know either. In the history of Soul World, there had never been an auction for Divine Beast Blood, nor had there been any related transactions; there was nothing to reference.
Elegant, representing Dingsheng Trading Company, also arrived in the grand hall.
As she hesitated whether to place a bid, a voice reached her ears.
"Elegant, you should lead the bidding. After the auction ends, I'll give you one bottle of each type of Divine Beast Blood."
Hearing that message, Elegant's face lit up with joy. She stood up and said, "Dingsheng Trading Company bids 100,000 Fifth-Grade Soul Stones."
One hundred thousand Fifth-Grade Soul Stones could be converted into ten thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones, one thousand Seven-Grade Soul Stones, one hundred Eighth Rank Soul Stones, ten Nine-Tier Soul Stones, or one Tenth Rank Soul Stone.
That price made it seem like a dream to win three bottles of Divine Beast Blood.
Upon hearing Elegant's bid, everyone was taken aback and wondered if the people from Dingsheng Trading Company were out of their minds. Did they really think that such a small amount of Soul Stones could buy three bottles of Divine Beast Blood?
"Sister Qingya, your bid seems a bit low, doesn't it? We at Dongxing Trading Company bid 100,000 Sixth-Rank Soul Stones!"
A middle-aged man stood up, a cold smile plastered across his face as he looked at Elegant. His price was suddenly ten times higher than Elegant's, a blatant slap in the face.
Elegant didn't care; after spending countless Soul Stones to contribute to the Peach Blossom Sect's Formation System, Dingsheng Trading Company could no longer afford to bid on the Divine Beast Blood.
But with Wei Chen's guarantee in place, Elegant felt indifferent.
Her role was merely to take the lead; the outcome had nothing to do with Dingsheng Trading Company.
Dongxing Trading Company and Dingsheng Trading Company had always been fierce rivals. The middle-aged man was the President of Dongxing Trading Company, and he was quite formidable, being one of the top figures in the Central Domain.
The price of one hundred thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones became the baseline.
"We, Darzong, bid eleven thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones!"
"We, Huashan Sect, bid twelve thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones!"
"We, Great Tang Holy Dynasty, bid fifteen thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones!"
"Eighteen thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones!"
...
The price skyrocketed quickly, soon reaching two hundred thirty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones. This figure was beyond what Wei Chen had anticipated.
The allure of Divine Beast Blood was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
"If Paralyze can sell for this price, I could bring out dozens of them for sale and make a fortune! Those Major Forces are all putting in their utmost effort to bid; I fear that whoever obtains the Divine Beast Blood will have their Soul Stone reserves depleted by more than half. If we manage to sell dozens of them, Peach Blossom Sect could become the wealthiest force in the entire Central Domain."
Wei Chen's heart raced with excitement, but he quickly dismissed his thoughts. Rarity holds value; too much of something makes it worthless.
Elegant's face showed signs of embarrassment. She was the first to bid, but to her surprise, the price had already soared to twenty times her initial offer!
It wasn't entirely humiliating, but she certainly felt awkward.
In the end, the price reached two hundred twenty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones and was claimed by someone from the Great Qing Holy Dynasty.
When it came to financial power, the Holy Dynasty was wealthier, followed by the Merchant Guild, while the Cloud Spirit Sect was the poorest.
As soon as the first auction concluded, Musa immediately began the second auction.
However, this time, they faced a dilemma.
The first item's price had already reached two hundred twenty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones; what would the price for the second item be?
Any force capable of bidding above two hundred twenty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones would have already done so during the first auction. Thus, two hundred twenty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones became the highest bid.
The price for the second item would have to be less than that.
The atmosphere fell silent again as everyone calculated their options. Saving even ten thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones represented a significant fortune. Acquiring Divine Beast Blood while conserving some resources was on everyone's mind.
No matter how wealthy someone was, they wouldn't want to waste tens of thousands of Sixth-Rank Soul Stones at such a moment.
“Elegant, you can continue bidding. Eighteen thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones; feel free to bid,” Wei Chen instructed again as Elegant felt embarrassed.
"Wei Chen, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"What difficulty is there? When I send you a portion of Divine Beast Blood later, you'll understand how this little embarrassment saves around two hundred thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones. That's quite a deal."
Hearing Wei Chen's transmission, Elegant reluctantly stood up and said, "One hundred eighty thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones."
The crowd looked at Elegant with strange expressions, wondering if this woman was a plant sent by the Peach Blossom Sect. She only threw out a starting bid and didn't participate in the bidding at all; it was clearly a setup.
However, no matter what, someone had made a bid, which was always a good thing. In the end, the second portion was bought by someone from the Great Tang Holy Dynasty for two hundred thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones.
The last portion was different from the previous two.
This was an exceptional item; if they missed this chance, who knew when the next opportunity would come.
Just as Elegant thought she would have to stand up and embarrass herself again, Thunderstorm spoke up first.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let me have the last portion. Three hundred thousand Sixth-Rank Soul Stones; this is the highest price that the Fire Sect can offer."
Thunderstorm smiled broadly, casting a meaningful glance in Wei Chen's direction.
