Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 828 - 616 Gunshot Hits the Leading Bird_1

Chapter 828: Chapter 616 Gunshot Hits the Leading Bird_1

At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone’s mind.

With True Monarch Shadow Fox present, the fate of the cultivator’s Golden Core before them could likely only be decided by the auction rules.

As long as one had enough spirit stones.

Even a mere Qi-refining cultivator might snatch away the cultivator’s Golden Core at this auction.

Of course.

That being said.

If the cultivator’s Golden Core were truly to be acquired by a Qi Condensation Cultivator

it was feared that what awaited this Qi Condensation Cultivator would be the covetous stares of almost all the cultivators present at the auction.

A man is not guilty for being plain, but being in possession of a treasure is his crime.

For a Qi-refining cultivator to obtain a Golden Core is akin to a child holding gold in a bustling market, naturally attracting the envies of countless people around.

In such a situation, the moment that Qi-refining cultivator left the auction, they would likely be killed on the spot.

And their Golden Core would instantly fall into the hands of others.

Thus, in a way.

This also implied the level of security at this auction.

With True Monarch Shadow Fox watching over, even the several Golden Elixir Masters currently in the auction hall dared not act recklessly.

After all, with the immense power of the Treasure Pavilion, and True Monarch Shadow Fox daring to auction off a cultivator’s Golden Core, precautions would naturally have been taken.

Perhaps right now in the Treasure Pavilion.

Apart from True Monarch Shadow Fox and the few Golden Elixir Masters who had come to attend this auction,

there were an unknown number of Treasure Pavilion Golden Elixir Masters hidden in the shadows, silently observing everything.

If anyone dared to rob by force, or refused to follow the rules during the auction,

it was feared those concealed Golden Elixir Masters of the Treasure Pavilion would demonstrate just how formidable the Pavilion could be.

In all these years, Treasure Pavilion’s ability to coexist peacefully with the various Nascent Soul Upper Sects is not due to any so-called reputation,

but power.

In the Cultivation World, without power,

an entity as seemingly opulent as the Treasure Pavilion would probably have long since been overwhelmed and plundered of everything by others.

How else could they have survived until now?

In light of this, the greed in the hearts of the people within the auction hall naturally diminished considerably upon seeing True Monarch Shadow Fox.

When reason once again took the high ground.

The crowd within the auction hall naturally would no longer consider doing anything dangerous.

After True Monarch Shadow Fox approached the Golden Core, he did nothing.

Even the spiritual pressure from his Golden Core was fleeting.

Then, he stood silently to one side, like an ordinary cultivator.

Over the auction hall.

The whole situation was still controlled by a Foundation Establishment auctioneer of the Treasure Pavilion.

However, at this moment, as the silhouette of True Monarch Shadow Fox appeared,

the bold ideas originally held by all the cultivators in the hall naturally vanished.

Almost everyone learned of True Monarch Shadow Fox’s identity from the mouths of those around them,

and almost everyone felt a tremendous pressure from the fleeting spiritual pressure of True Monarch Shadow Fox’s Golden Core.

Even some Golden Elixir Masters who had previously harbored greed suppressed their desires quietly at this moment.

With True Monarch Shadow Fox present, the auction could not descend into chaos.

However.

Once almost everyone acknowledged True Monarch Shadow Fox’s identity and realized the auction could not be disturbed,

the atmosphere within the hall subtly turned cold and quiet.

A Golden Elixir Master stood at the very center of the auction hall, beside the item being auctioned.

Under such circumstances, it had almost sealed the lips of all the Qi-refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators.

For a Qi-refining cultivator, to bid against a Golden Elixir Master like True Monarch Shadow Fox would take an extreme amount of courage.

Even for a Foundation Establishment True Person, to speak up and bid against such a Master would require immense bravery.

In the face of a Golden Elixir Master.

It’s likely that any Qi-refining or Foundation Establishment cultivator would instinctively feel timid at heart.

And it is precisely because of this.

That when He Song, identifying as a Foundation Establishment True Person, previously snatched an item from the hands of a Golden Elixir Master,

the reaction from the Qi-refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators was so intense.

Exaggerating through hearsay, the incident was blown completely out of proportion.

Yet, the majority of cultivators seated at the auction were Qi Condensation Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

From He Song’s earlier observation, there were probably only a handful of Golden Elixir Masters.

Even if there were more like He Song who had concealed their real power,

and in addition to some who He Song hadn’t noticed but had already arrived in the Smoke-Cloud state mansion,

at most, there would only be a dozen or so Golden Elixir Masters.

In such a case.

When True Monarch Shadow Fox suddenly appeared before everyone, and the auction hall suddenly went silent,

these dozen or so Golden Elixir Masters also fell silent at this moment.

At this time.

Whoever spoke first would certainly be labeled as having great covetousness for the Golden Core before them.

Subsequently, someone might continue to increase the price to make the bidder suffer a heavy loss.

After all, there weren’t that many Golden Core Cultivators, and naturally there were some who knew each other or had enmities.

If one was recognized by a friend, it wouldn’t be much of an issue,

but if one was spotted by an enemy, being targeted was almost a certainty.
