Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1749 - 1747: Spirit Island Auction

The cultivators of the Three Worlds must surely return to Three Worlds Island, and this is not only the speculation of Brother Woo and the other person; it's the belief of most Moon Jade cultivators.

As long as the Moon Jade cultivators on Three Worlds Island have sane minds, they won't continue to stay on Baiyue Island.

So, here comes the question, how should Baiyue Island be handled?

Such a high-class Spirit Island, hard-won, can't just be abandoned.

Frankly, there hasn't been such a precedent on the All Phenomena Ocean. Usually, those who have the strength to attack a high-class Spirit Island settle in once they have conquered it, so there's no issue of how to handle it.

But the situation with Three Worlds Island is clearly different; Three Worlds Island is still there, and they can retreat at any time, while Baiyue has also been seized by them.

This fortunate dilemma is truly enviable.

However, the Moon Jade cultivators soon knew how Three Worlds Island planned to deal with Baiyue.

Because moments later, a voice suddenly came from Baiyue Island: "I am Luan Xiao'e, humbly the First Island Master of Three Worlds Island, sincerely inviting any Fellow Daoists interested in taking over Baiyue Island to enter the island. In two hours, our Three Worlds Island will hold an auction here for the ownership of Baiyue Island."

The voice wasn't loud, but with the empowerment of a Peak Moon Jade cultivation, all the cultivators watching heard it clearly.

Everyone was initially stunned, then quickly showed expressions of understanding.

Auction!

Indeed, this is a pretty good solution.

The cultivators of Three Worlds Island can't occupy two high-class Spirit Islands simultaneously, but having painstakingly conquered Baiyue Island, abandoning it would be too wasteful. After all, it's a high-class Spirit Island with enormous value.

Therefore, putting the ownership of Baiyue Island up for auction is the best and most practical solution. In this way, Three Worlds Island can avoid the embarrassment of not being able to sustain two high-class Spirit Islands and can bring a substantial income to the island's cultivators.

Never before has an auction for the ownership of a high-class Spirit Island occurred on the All Phenomena Ocean, so when Luan Xiao'e's words fell, many Moon Jade cultivators showed interest, and many more were tempted.

Among them, those who already own high-class Spirit Islands naturally have no interest in Baiyue Island, but this once-in-a-millennium event surely excites them with curiosity for novelty.

More of them are Moon Jade cultivators not from high-class Spirit Islands.

The forces behind them have decent foundations, but capturing a high-class Spirit Island is not easy, as all the major high-class Spirit Islands on the All Phenomena Ocean have been established for many years with strong defensive forces. Under equal circumstances, it's basically impossible to conquer them.

Take Sifang Island, for example. They have four Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators and a thousand Constellations, barely qualifying to hold a high-class Spirit Island, yet they can only occupy a mid-class Spirit Island.

They tried once before but nearly had their homeland stolen, retreating hastily.

Sifang Star System's situation isn't unique on the All Phenomena Ocean but rather common.

Now, there's an opportunity to capture a high-class Spirit Island without bloodshed; who wouldn't be tempted? Of course, it will require significant costs since it's an auction for a high-class Spirit Island; setting the price too low would be unreasonable.

Suddenly, a mass of Moon Jade cultivators headed towards Baiyue Island from all sides.

The auction of high-class Spirit Island ownership is unprecedented on the All Phenomena Ocean. Does it break any rules? No one knows, but precisely because there's no precedent, no Sun Blaze governor has ever set any regulations on this matter.

Here on Three Worlds Island, led by Luan Xiao'e and her junior brother He Baichuan, several Moon Jade cultivators warmly received the Moon Jade cultivators who rushed over upon hearing the news. This allowed Luan Xiao'e to meet quite a few Moon Jade experts from various Spirit Islands.

The conference hall on Baiyue Island was in ruins; the aftermath of the previous battle had affected it, but fortunately, it wasn't completely destroyed.

Two hours later, the hall was filled with Moon Jade cultivators, at least three hundred people.

These three hundred people represented at least two hundred different forces, but among them, it's unknown how many came out of curiosity and how many genuinely intended to bid for Baiyue Island's ownership.

It was still hosted by Luan Xiao'e; on the surface, she remained the First Island Master of Three Worlds Island.

Under the gaze of everyone present, Luan Xiao'e smiled slightly and began, "Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for coming. Today, conquering Baiyue was not easy for our Three Worlds Island. Capturing such a high-class Spirit Island, our Three Worlds Island suffered great losses."

Upon hearing this, the three hundred Moon Jade cultivators couldn't help but want to laugh.

They all saw with their own eyes the extent of Three Worlds Island's losses, but as Luan Xiao'e said it at the moment, they just listened.

"The value of a high-class Spirit Island, I am sure I don't need to elaborate. For our Three Worlds cultivators, owning Three Worlds Island is sufficient. If not for Baiyue Island's extreme provocations and secret attacks on our Three Worlds Moon Jade cultivators, we wouldn't have come to create trouble. Now that Baiyue is conquered, our Three Worlds cultivators have no intention of staying long, so we plan to auction off the ownership of this island."

Someone impatiently called out, "Island Master Luan, no need for more words. Just tell us how to conduct the auction!"

Luan Xiao'e looked in the direction of the speaker, still smiling: "Alright, since Fellow Daoist is eager, let's state the rules directly." She paused slightly before speaking: "Fellow Daoists interested in bidding only need to engrave the price and origin into the jade slip. I will choose the Fellow Daoist with the most sincerity, and their faction will receive the right to reside in Baiyue!"

The Moon Jade cultivators realized that this was a silent auction, and everyone wasn't openly bidding, reducing some overt competition, undoubtedly making it more efficient, and evidently beneficial for Three Worlds Island.

Nobody knows the true value of Baiyue Island, such a thing hasn't happened before.

But the factions truly wanting to take over Baiyue Island surely won't be stingy with their offer, as the opportunity to bid comes only once. The chance to easily claim a high-class Spirit Island also comes only once. Thus, Three Worlds Island can maximize its benefits.

After explaining the rules, Luan Xiao'e spoke again: "You have one incense stick's time to discuss, and after that, please hand over your bidding jade slip to me."

After speaking, she sat down quietly at the side and waited.

In the hall, Mental Consciousness surged immediately, and many Moon Jade cultivators took out their audio talismans, clearly intending to transmit audio to inquire how their backing forces should bid.

This matter was too rushed; before Three Worlds Island announced the auction, no one expected Baiyue Island to be handled this way, so everyone was unprepared.

One incense stick's time is very short, so acquiring Baiyue requires great courage.

In the hall, Zhou Chuang and Kang Cheng exchanged via Mental Consciousness too, as Four Galaxies also wanted a high-class Spirit Island, and Baiyue Island seemed quite suitable. This way, they could bring more Four Galaxies cultivators to All Phenomena Ocean.

However, they hesitated on how to bid specifically; a low bid definitely wouldn't compete with others, while a high bid was beyond their reach.

In the midst of difficulty, Zhou Chuang suddenly noticed the audio talisman's movement, hurriedly took it out, and immediately brightened.

Kang Cheng noticed and transmitted: "What happened?"

Zhou Chuang lightly smiled: "Fellow Daoist Lu transmitted, telling us to casually offer a price!"

Kang Cheng was surprised for a moment and then showed delight: "Fellow Daoist Lu's meaning is..."

Zhou Chuang nodded slightly.

Kang Cheng forcefully suppressed his excitement and couldn't help but sigh: "Again we owe him a great favor."

Looking up at the other Moon Jade cultivators in the hall, Kang Cheng couldn't help but sigh; these people busy themselves to no avail, surely not realizing it was destined for nothing—this Baiyue Island will later be renamed Sifang Island!

"Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Lu's actions should be to conceal the relationship between Three Worlds Island and Sifang Island."

If not, there was no need for an auction. After Baiyue Island was conquered, Three Worlds Island could directly notify Sifang Island to take over.

Using an auction to cover up, no one would think Sifang Island and Three Worlds Island had connections, and when the result came out, people would only think Sifang Island bid the highest.

Giving Baiyue Island to Four Galaxies wasn't a whim from Lu Ye; originally, when he set up the plan, he wasn't completely sure of capturing Baiyue, as he couldn't predict every aspect of such a battle and could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

Three Worlds cultivators have shallow roots in All Phenomena Ocean; although the Merfolk Race is their most solid ally, it's not easy to expose the Merfolk Race directly, plus their numbers are too few.

Four Galaxies is a natural ally of Three Worlds Island, and their better development is beneficial to Three Worlds Island.

Who knows when they might need to leverage Sifang Island's strength?

After much contemplation, Lu Ye decided to give Baiyue Island to Four Galaxies, no matter what, as Sifang Island also assisted when strategizing against Baiyue Island.

Moreover, Three Worlds Island has gained substantial benefits from this war.

Because the fall of Baiyue Island was too abrupt, Baiyue cultivators had no psychological preparation. After the island was conquered, Three Worlds cultivators directly raided Baiyue Island's treasure vault.

The spirit jade and spirit crystal collected weren't much, only one to two million, but other resources were countless.

After all, it's a Spirit Island managed for eight hundred years, and naturally, the treasure vault contains many valuables.

As for the limited spirit jade and spirit crystal, it's normal since cultivators consume spirit jade and spirit crystal during cultivation. Despite Baiyue Island being a high-class Spirit Island, reserves in this area couldn't be too abundant, as Baiyue Island lacks any commercial activities.

Besides, the storage rings of those fallen Baiyue cultivators were collected. All things considered, aside from Yu Huan forcefully beheaded by Yuan Du, the other Moon Jade inheritances fell into Three Worlds Island's hands, along with storage rings left by over a thousand starry constellations after their deaths.

Merely the profit from this aspect alone is a substantial wealth.

It can be said that this battle greatly alleviated Three Worlds Island's financial pressure. For a long time hence, Three Worlds cultivators can lead a prosperous life, without worrying about cultivation resources.
