The entire auction hall, watching the two who had sealed such a substantial deal in just a few words, could not help but wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads. Indeed, these two were no ordinary people—such determination and confidence, few in the room could match. Under the attentive gaze of the surrounding onlookers, the deal was smoothly finalized. Xiao Yan smiled gently, slowly settling back into his chair. Unlike the others, he didn't care much about whether there were additional treasures still hidden within the魔兽's dry corpse, for his primary objective had always been those bone wings resembling jade. As long as those wings were secured, even if he offered three Dan pills of Douling and two Huangji pills, he would still consider it a sound investment. With the wings, he could craft an exceptionally refined Tian Yan Jiuxing Wing—thus, he would truly be able to obtain what he sought throughout the realm. And this life-saving treasure, which could be obtained for just five pills, had already proven to be a significant advantage for Xiao Yan. He naturally understood that the Black Emperor Sect would only be willing to present this wondrous dry-furred beast for auction after employing various means of investigation—perhaps even as he had suggested, the beast's body now contained merely a pile of dried, deteriorated flesh. If Xiao Yan hadn't possessed the method of crafting the celestial crane's nine-element wings, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to pay such a price. Fortunately, however, that possibility had not materialized. Moreover, though he had never personally examined the bone wings closely, Xiao Yan, relying solely on his soul perception, already had a solid understanding of their qualities. To others, this transaction appeared high-risk—any slight misstep might result in a complete loss. To Xiao Yan, though, it was a sure profit. On the auction stage, after successfully prompting Xiao Yan to produce three Dao Ling Dan pills and two Huang Ji Dan pills, Mo Tianxing's smile remained almost unchanged, lightly clapping his hands—immediately, a group of sturdy, broad-shouldered men reappeared, laboriously lifting the dried monster corpse with care and placing it down. As the dried monster corpse was being carried away, Mo Tianxing did not immediately depart. Instead, he waved at the white-haired elder, who exhaled a deep breath and then bowed gracefully before retreating. It seemed clear that Mo Tianxing would now personally oversee the remainder of the auction. Seeing this gesture, many guests at the VIP section felt a surge of warmth and excitement—what other item could possibly warrant such a distinguished elder personally stepping in to conduct the auction, aside from the highly publicized Bodhi Body-Transforming Saliva? Under the steady gaze of the crowd, Mo Tianxing calmly withdrew a pair of purple-gold gloves from his storage amulet and then gently waved his hand. As his palm swept forward, the ground once again split open, and several elderly figures in dark robes emerged steadily, their faces stern. At the center, one of them held a small box covered by yellow cloth in both hands. As they walked, they maintained a consistent spacing between each other, a subtle, sharp aura of combat energy swirling around them. Their keen, eagle-like eyes slowly scanned the surroundings; should there be any slightest disturbance, they would immediately enter a state of battle readiness. Observing this cautious, almost combat-ready demeanor, the atmosphere in the auction hall gradually settled into quiet, a unique sense of tension pressing down on all present. "I am sure all of you are aware," said Mo Tianxing, donning his golden-gloved hands and gently smoothing his smile, "that the highlight of this auction hosted by our Black Emperor Sect is this very item. And I know that many of you have come specifically for it." While Mo Tianxing was speaking, those several black-robed elders were equally cautious, gently placing the small box covered by yellow cloth onto the auction platform, then slowly retreating to form a mysterious array that sealed off the platform. It appeared that should anyone attempt to forcibly seize the box, they would first have to defeat all five of the Black Emperor Sect's elders at the Dou Huang level, and upon doing so, would then face Mo Tianxing himself—truly a Dou Zong-level master. It was no surprise that the Black Emperor Sect's defenses were so rigorous, given the exceptional value of the Bodhi Body Sap. Indeed, this item's worth stemmed largely from the longstanding rumor that possessing the Bodhi Body Sap would reveal the secrets of the Bodhi Mind. To be a Saint of Battle—just two simple words—can utterly shatter any faction's defenses, like dry reeds in the wind. At this level, one has already ascended to the pinnacle of the pyramid, a truly transcendent powerhouse. With a mere gesture, mountains crumble, lands split, and space fractures. Such power, capable of standing against the very heavens, is utterly unimaginable to ordinary cultivators. Possessing such precious celestial and terrestrial treasures was indeed a great sin, yet fortunately, the Hei Huang Sect is no ordinary force—otherwise, the most tragic fate would have befallen them. Mo Tianxing observed the countless intense glances directed from the贵宾 seats, deliberately pausing his gaze at several specific spots. Then, a subtle surge of qi rippled through his body as he gently grasped the yellow cloth and suddenly pulled it taut. Amidst the countless intense glances, the yellow cloth detached and fell away, revealing a transparent crystal box that reflected a dazzling, almost dreamlike light under the illumination. Yet at that very moment, nearly everyone ignored the brilliant radiance, their eyes fixed unblinkingly upon the crystal box within. Within the crystal vessel, a faint, ethereal glow lingered, diffusing gently. In this radiance, a mass of viscous substance, roughly the size of a clenched fist and slightly leaning toward a jade green hue, drifted and pulsed slowly, like a soft-bodied creature. As it moved, waves of liquid cascaded in layers, giving it the appearance of a living entity. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan gradually suppressed the fervor within his heart. His spiritual perception surged forth almost uncontrollably, only to encounter resistance upon touching the crystal box—immediately being pushed back. "It seems the Black Emperor Sect is indeed quite vigilant," Xiao Yan remarked, lifting his brow and speaking with a cold, measured tone. "Ladies and gentlemen, this, here, is the highlight of our current auction—indeed, the very reason many have come to us today. It is—" Mò Tiān Xíng gazed at the strange, viscous liquid within the crystal box, his eyes reflecting both greed and longing. Then, he slightly raised his head, speaking with deliberate clarity: "The Bodhi Body-Form Saliva." Mo Tianxing's solemn words struck like a heavy bomb, instantly causing a tremendous commotion throughout the auction hall. Waves of astonishment rose, and countless pairs of eager, burning eyes turned toward him—among them were the powerful factions seated in the贵宾 section. As the hall grew suddenly chaotic and restless, the several black-robed elders standing near the auction podium subtly bent their hands, their expressions instantly turning icy. Even in the shadowy corners surrounding the hall, the soft sounds of bows and arrows being drawn began to rise. "Boom!" With the commotion, a powerful aura surged forth from within Mo Tianxing's body. His sharp gaze swept steadily across the hall. As it passed, the once-bustling hall settled like a pot of boiling water into which ice had been dropped—silence fell swiftly. No one present, not even a single cultivator at the peak of the Douzong stage, could easily ignore the weight of his presence. "Everyone, please adhere to the rules of the Hei Huang Sect. For this auction, if you're interested, simply raise your bid without needing to leave your seats—otherwise..." Mo Tianxing said calmly, then glanced deeply at several spots where the aura was subtly concealed, and with a wave of his hand, issued a cold command. "Now—let the auction of the Bodhi Body-Saliva begin!"
