As莫天行's words settled, an unusual quiet fell across the vast auction hall. Countless sets of eyes turned toward the贵宾 seats, where everyone knew that, given the rarity of the菩提化体涎, ordinary attendees would naturally be unable to secure it. The only ones with both the qualification and the strength to obtain it were the seasoned强者 and established powerhouses seated there. Even among the贵宾 seats, a peculiar silence prevailed. Even those powerful factions that had previously shown eagerness now remained still, leaning gently against the back of their chairs, fingers lightly tapping the upholstery, saying nothing. "This unusual silence also caught Mo Tianxing off guard, who then composed himself, smiled lightly, and said, 'Given how precious the Bodhi-Body Saliva is, the auction method is somewhat unique. From now on, if any of you are interested, please go individually to the auction stand, present to me the items you wish to offer in exchange, and I will select the one whose offering is most valuable and complete the transaction with him.' Upon hearing this, several people were momentarily taken aback, and soon a number of those behind grew increasingly dissatisfied. Yet, even with their discontent, they were well aware that, given the exceptional value of the Bodhi-Body Saliva, the items offered by the major powers would undoubtedly be rare and precious. The principle of 'not showing one's wealth' was something they themselves understood—how much more so for the powerful factions and elite figures who dominated the Black Corner Region?" Xiao Yan also paused momentarily due to this rule, but soon regained his composure and gave a slight nod. Indeed, this arrangement would save some hassle—should the items brought forth be particularly valuable and thus attract envy from others, it might bring about a host of unwelcome complications. Not only Xiao Yan shared this thought, but several others did as well. Thus, upon Mo Tianxing's words, many people's expressions softened and they nodded in agreement. Observing the relaxed atmosphere, Mo Tianxing smiled gently and suddenly moved his hand seal. At that moment, the luminous ring surrounding the auction platform suddenly intensified in brightness. As the color deepened, the conditions inside the platform gradually became more blurred, until eventually, they were almost entirely invisible. With the platform now completely enveloped by a dense beam of light, Mo Tianxing's clear and resonant laughter echoed throughout: "I believe everyone should now feel at ease." Then, please proceed—though kindly adhere to the custom: each of you enters individually, not in pairs. Of course, in such a gathering, no one would suspect the old man of doing anything behind the scenes, would they? Upon hearing these words, several guests offered a quiet, composed smile. How indeed could the Black Emperor Sect manage to do anything suspicious in this setting? After all, many of the present powers possess no less strength or depth than the Black Emperor Sect. Should they be offended, and unite their forces, even the Black Emperor Sect would surely face annihilation. Not long after Mo Tianxing’s words, a middle-aged man from the guest section finally rose to his feet, his face flushed with excitement. With a swift movement, he darted forward and stepped directly into the beam of light. Staring at the middle-aged man vanishing into the radiant beam, Xiao Yan, with his black robe, couldn't help but rub his naga ring on his fingers. For this so-called Bodhi Body Transformation elixir, he had spared no effort in preparations—yet he still didn't know whether, with his current resources, he could successfully claim it from the clearly well-prepared strong contenders present today. "Why don't I go in now?" the young physician beside him, her brows slightly furrowed as she gazed at the dense beam, suddenly murmured softly to Xiao Yan. "No need. Black Emperor Sect hasn't the courage to make any moves here yet… And with my current strength, even if Mo Tianxing personally steps in, he won't be able to hold me without showing some real skill." Xiao Yan smiled calmly. He naturally understood the young physician's concerns, but as long as Mo Tianxing still possessed a touch of sense, he wouldn't dare to make such a foolish move under the watchful eyes of so many. Seeing Xiao Yan's determination, Xiao Yi could only give a slight nod and said softly, "Then I'll follow you. Just remember—if you don't emerge within five minutes, I'll go in myself." Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled and nodded in agreement. Under the watchful eyes of countless spectators, roughly three minutes later, the middle-aged man who had previously stepped forward shook his head in resignation, looked somewhat crestfallen, and returned to his seat. It seemed his offering had not won the approval of Mo Tianxing. With the first person successfully exiting, those who still harbored doubts on the VIP section finally eased their last concerns. Soon after, an elderly man in yellow robes, whose expression had been gloomy, also rose and swiftly stepped into the light beam. With the initial success, the rest unfolded exceptionally smoothly, with one after another entering the light column. However, most of them emerged with slightly gloomy expressions, suggesting that their offerings had not fully satisfied Mo Tianxing. Of course, not everyone was like this—several individuals exited with bright smiles, clearly confident in the value of what they had presented. The elder with the hawk-like nose and gray hair seemed no stranger among the senior strongholds of Black Thorns Domain. As he stood up, the members of Magu Valley who had yet to move, as well as Su Qian, the Grand Elder, all subtly shifted their expressions, then turned their gaze toward him. Unbothered by the attention from the surrounding figures, the elder merely trembled slightly and vanished like a ghost, his speed so swift that even Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed momentarily. Now, he was certain that this elder, whose aura differed slightly from that of ordinary Douzong cultivators, was undoubtedly a Douzong cultivator himself. "Black Thorns Domain truly boasts many hidden talents. I had never heard of this man before—yet his strength is truly remarkable," Xiao Yan murmured, his face beneath his black robe appearing serious. As the thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, the spot where the elder with the hawk-like nose had previously vanished subtly trembled, and there he appeared once more. A gentle smile now graced his face, suggesting he was extremely confident about the bidding. Unperturbed by the surrounding glances, the elder with the hawk-like nose settled back into his chair and closed his eyes, meditating calmly. Seeing his relaxed demeanor, many people couldn't help but furrow their brows. Following this mysterious elder, the Grand Elder Fangyan of Mo Yan Valley finally rose and stepped into the light beam. A moment later, he emerged, smiling, indicating that Mo Yan Valley had indeed brought some truly valuable items. Gazing quietly at Fangyan as he returned to his seat, Xiao Yan's brow furrowed slightly. Just as he intended to rise, Xiao Li, standing nearby, rose first and then moved swiftly, stepping into the light beam. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan was momentarily stunned. The Xiao Sect's current target was indeed the Bodhi Body Essence? Yet, given the Xiao Sect's strength, how could they present something that could truly move Mo Tianxing? A moment of doubt flashed through his mind, and then his gaze fell upon Su Qian, the Senior Monastery Elder. With a slightly enlightened nod, he acknowledged it. Xiao Li had stepped out of the light beam after about three to four minutes, appearing neither crestfallen nor particularly cheerful—clearly, the items presented by the Xiao Sect had not received high praise from the Hehuang Sect. As this thought passed through his mind, Xiao Yan slowly rose to his feet. As someone constantly under observation, his simple gesture naturally drew a wave of varied emotional glances from the surrounding attendees. Unbothered by these gazes, he moved gracefully through the air, then settled into the light beam. Stepping into the beam of light, the intense glow caused Xiao Yan's eyes to slightly narrow as he instantly became alert, just in time to see Mo Tianxing smiling warmly at him on the auction platform. Behind him stood an elderly man with a red face—none other than Qi Shan, the one who had previously clashed with Xiao Yan. Mo Tianxing nodded smilingly, then smiled gently and said, "Mr. Yan Xiao, I wonder what item you would like to exchange for this Bodhi-Transforming Saliva?" Gently shifting his gaze, Xiao Yan remained under Mo Tianxing's warm and attentive stare, pondering for a moment before lightly tapping his fingers—there, in his hand, appeared a jade vial resembling fine lapis lazuli. Inside, a pill the size of a dragon's eye shimmered subtly. "This is a first-rank sixth-grade pill, the Break-Clan Pill. I'm sure Master Mo has heard of it. As for its effects, I won't elaborate further." With a gentle finger tap, the vial drifted slowly toward Mo Tianxing, and Xiao Yan spoke calmly. "The Break-Clan Pill?" Upon hearing the name, both Mo Tianxing and Qi Shan behind him stiffened, their eyes then sparkling with unmistakable excitement.
