Time passed, and before they knew it, it was auction day.

As planned, everyone, including Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi, took a disguise pill, a voice-changing pill, a bone-changing pill, an aura-changing pill, and, just to be safe, activated a level seven disguise talisman.

After doing all this, Zhen Yuan suppressed his cultivation to the mid-stage of the fusion realm while Shen Xu, Dongfang Jing, and Chen Yi revealed their true cultivation levels.

As for the others, Feng Xue lowered her cultivation to the late stage of level six while Yang Shi and Li Wenqiang suppressed theirs to the mid-stage and early stage, respectively.

Finally, everyone wore a Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction robe, adding another layer to their disguise.

With such precautions, even a tribulation transcending realm cultivator would find it difficult to see through their disguise.

"I feel like a different person." Shen Xu said, twirling his long beard with his right index finger.

"That's the idea." Dongfang Jing said, but still felt uncomfortable looking at his fat figure.

"Why did I become so short?" Yang Shi couldn't help but complain.

"You are short and I am ugly." Feng Xue said through gritted teeth.

"Only Ayuan still looks good after these few rounds of disguise." Shen Xu commented, and everyone turned to look at Zhen Yuan.

It was true!

While the others suffered some form of negative trait, Zhen Yuan transformed into a handsome man with a good figure and a noble aura.

"Do I look more handsome than my usual self?" Zhen Yuan teased, and Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

"How is that possible?" He asked, but a trace of unease flashed in his eyes.

[Ayuan, you are forced to rely on your disguise talisman since my pills don't work on you. Is it really okay for you to only have one layer of disguise?] The double transmitted.

[Don't worry.] Zhen Yuan assured, rubbing his partner's hair.

He always could fade into the background.

Unless he made himself conspicuous, Zhen Yuan was sure the disguise talisman was enough to protect his identity.

After that, the seven left the courtyard and walked to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction hall.

The entrance was crowded.

At a glance, more than one thousand cultivators were lined up to enter the auction hall.

Fortunately, their group had a first-level invitation and was promptly led to the third floor.

The third floor had thirty boxes.

Each box was one hundred square metres and had luxurious furniture scattered in the area.

Seeing the setup, Shen Xu sighed at the extravagance and walked to a table.

On the table were a fruit platter, two wine gourds, and some jade cups.

"Level seven spirit grapes, level seven red skin tangerines, level six patterned pears, level six veined mangoes, and level six purple melon." Shen Xu observed, his eyes glistening with excitement.

"As expected of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion." He said.

"These fruits are nothing in the Tianxuan continent." Feng Xue said, but reached for a piece of melon.

A moment later, her eyes brightened and her expression revealed pure enjoyment.

"The gourds contain Plum Blossom Wine; level six and level seven."

Since the auction wouldn't start for another half an hour, the group sat and began eating while looking around.

Each of the thirty boxes on the third floor had level seven formations, including an isolation formation and a defensive formation.

As a result, ordinary cultivators couldn't spy on these boxes, but Zhen Yuan was different since he had level eight soul power.

That said, the third-floor boxes were the territory of fusion and Mahayana realm cultivators.

Considering that, Zhen Yuan didn't recklessly check these boxes because he didn't want to provoke unnecessary trouble.

Nevertheless, the group still gathered some information.

From what they found out, each of the tower city lords had a box on the third floor.

Excluding the city lords, each of the three sects also had a box.

As for the remaining nineteen, they were open to any fusion realm cultivators willing to pay the price.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, an old man walked to the auction stage and cleared his throat to silence the attendees.

"I am Sun Cheng, and I will be the lead auctioneer for this auction." The old man said.

At a glance, the old man was a mid-stage void refining realm cultivator.

Ordinarily, such a master wouldn't lower his stature to be an auctioneer.

However, this auction was different.

After all, it not only had many void refining cultivators but also fusion realm masters.

Considering that, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion chose a void refining realm auctioneer to ensure a peaceful auction.

After introducing himself, Sun Cheng waved his hand, and a female cultivator walked to the stage.

The woman was holding a golden tray, covered with a red cloth.

"The first item is a fire whip." Sun Cheng said and quickly continued.

"The whip is refined from mysterious heart iron and fire silver ore. As for its level…"

Sun Cheng paused, showed a mysterious smile, and removed the red cloth from the golden tray.

What was revealed was a red whip that looked like flowing magma.

It was beautiful in its appearance but exuded a terrifying fire aura.

"Good whip." Someone commented.

"With this whip, it's not impossible for a void refining realm cultivator to challenge an early-stage fusion realm cultivator."

"Don't talk nonsense! Which void refining realm master has such a destructive ambition?"

"Stop talking. I want to know who refined this whip."

"It has to be the master of the Weapons Tower City."

"Not necessarily. The Myriad Tools sect has two level seven weapons refining masters."

"You are ignoring the grade of the whip. Which Tianqi master can refine such a fine peak-grade level six whip?"

"The level seven weapon refiners can achieve such results, but what about the materials? It's almost impossible to get level six weapons refining materials in the Tianqi continent."

"You think the whip is from the Tianxuan continent? Maybe it has been in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion since the last shipment from the Tianxuan continent."

"It's possible, but I heard there was an Iron Heart Tree in the Yunshan secret realm. Maybe that's where the mysterious heart iron is from."

As the crowd was speculating, Sun Cheng continued.
