Linghu Xie waited patiently. Except for the 300 eighth-grade spirit stone just now, there was no higher bid.

Meng Qi sat down leisurely. She lazily propped her cheek with one hand, biting into candies, and poured herself a cup of tea from time to time. Even the tea here was so delicious. Beyond The Heaven must be using special tea leaves containing spiritual aura. Meng Qi felt a gentle warmth spread from her stomach to her limbs with every sip, making her felt very comfortable and relaxed.

Except for Meng Qi, all the cultivators who participated in today’s auction were almost crazy with anxiety. Did they misunderstand the owner’s message before? The ‘I don’t like phoenixes’ in that message wasn’t referring to the Blazing Feather, but this mysterious spell?

So, was this spell actually related to phoenixes? Or did it have something to do with the grotto-heaven that was about to open at the seventh mountain? Therefore, the owner warned the bidder and only allowed them to choose either one.

If this was the case, then the question was——

How to choose?

Which one to choose?

Because the main attraction of today’s auction was the token to enter Beyond The Heaven’s mountain, almost all the top ten sects of the four realms in Three Thousand Worlds sent their representative here. Some sent the elders who had a high authority in the sect, but the majority, like Fentian Palace, had their sect leader personally came.

Even if they were cultivators, everyone was hesitant to make a prompt decision. According to the past, Beyond The Heaven’s grotto-heavens had great outputs. Those who ventured there, although met with extreme danger, would receive equally rewarding results. Rare treasures, magic tools, and magic weapons from the distant past, even records about the spell or cultivation techniques left behind by great predecessors…the possibility was endless.

Like the grotto-heaven that had 24 tokens of entry, for each cultivator who participated, the lowest value of the items they got in the grotto-heaven was more than the most expensive lot usually sold at Heaven Auction House. Of course, the gain of large sects was even richer.

It was said that there was a time when a certain sect got a magic tool by chance, which actually contained the cultivation method of their sect’s great predecessor who passed away thousands of years ago. That particular sect was in decline, mainly because most of their knowledge inheritance was cut off by a catastrophe. After the finding, the broken inheritance was finally resumed, and the sect’s strength was advanced by leaps and bounds. Coupled with a few consecutive genius disciples they nurtured, the sect surely would return to their peak in a few hundred years.

Since then, every time a grotto-heaven appeared in Beyond The Heaven, any major sects would always compete for the entry token.

They have never objected to the owner’s restrictions on token bidding because it was always very fair. The condition of each restriction was to maximize the profits of the participants. But this time, the owner didn’t specify the restriction clearly and put them into a dilemma.

The leaders and elders of the large sects who came today were a bit upset. Did they really misunderstand before?

The owner said that they didn’t like phoenixes, so no one bid for the Blazing Feather.

And now, there was this mysterious spell…

Cannot be helped. They should just give up.

Anyway, the item wasn’t guaranteed to be valuable either. There was no need to give up the token for this gamble.
