Regarding this, Wen Jiu did not mind, the main point is not leaving Little Demon Realm, and having East Spring Undying Bone handle affairs.

"Next is the main event, a total of ten Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms, starting bid at ten thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones." Li Hun announced a surprisingly low price, considering the starting bid for Tier One Top-Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms was five thousand.

This piqued Wen Jiu’s curiosity, and similarly, the other attendees were quite surprised and puzzled.

Li Hun hurried to explain, "Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms in our Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect are items neither for sale nor for gift. Bringing them out for sale today is naturally not just for Spirit Stones. If fellow Daoists wish to buy, they must owe our Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect a debt of gratitude.

Of course, I know your gratitude surely exceeds this price, so anyone who buys Tier Two Blood Corpse Mushrooms, I will gift the cultivation method. In the future, Daoists can even cultivate Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms themselves."

Upon hearing this, two mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators’ expressions immediately turned serious, not believing Li Hun’s words.

The cultivation method for Blood Corpse Mushrooms is an exclusive method of the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect, never passed beyond Foundation Establishment, so why would Li Hun be willing to give it away for free now? Did he get the "Old Zombie’s" consent?

Just as everyone was discussing this, Wen Jiu looked at the Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom, hesitating inwardly.

To buy or not to buy.

If he buys, he would gain the cultivation method but owe a debt of gratitude.

As a Heterodox Cultivator, one might break promises, but certainly, the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect would retaliate.

If not buying.

He would miss the perfect resource for speeding up Corpse Nourishing in the future.

As he pondered, the mid-stage Foundation Establishment Yin-faced Ghost Cultivator asked, "How do we know your cultivation method is correct?"

"Your gratitude will not be called upon by our Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect anytime soon, so feel free to try it out." This remark thoroughly dispelled concerns, after all, if the cultivation method was flawed, they wouldn’t owe a debt of gratitude, so there’s no real loss.

The mid-stage Foundation Establishment Yin-faced Ghost Cultivator couldn’t wait to add, "Let’s begin then, I, Li Mou, will take the first Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom, everyone please proceed... ten thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones!"

Li Ghost Cultivator did not sound threatening, appearing more like a reminder.

Everyone exchanged glances but didn’t raise the price, nor did anyone compete with Li Ghost Cultivator for the first mushroom.

Feng Jue seized the opportunity to speak to Wen Jiu via sound transmission, "Fellow Daoist Han, they intend to take the Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom at the lowest price, should I step in and help you win it? With Three Life Gates backing me, they can’t do anything against me."

Feng Jue’s words aligned with Wen Jiu’s intentions; there’s no harm in using the Protective Talisman of Three Life Gates.

"Then I’ll trouble Fellow Daoist Feng."

Wen Jiu responded via sound transmission.

The next moment, Feng Jue spoke up, coldly staring at Li Ghost Cultivator, "Eleven thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones."

Feng Jue’s bid immediately drew everyone’s attention, Li Hun wore a surprised expression, other Heterodox Evil Cultivators cast hostile glances, and Li Ghost Cultivator showed a hint of murderous intent.

Wen Jiu calmly stood on the side, scanning the people as if it was not his concern, Li Hun’s unusual expression was the first to catch his eye.

Next to him, Feng Jue appeared unfazed by the hostility, straightforwardly saying, "If anyone wishes to compete with Feng Mouren, feel free to bid. After killing Le Ye from Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks, my resources are quite plentiful."

Feng Jue’s self-introduction made those early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators quietly retract their hostile glances, daring not to look further.

However, the two mid-stage Foundation Establishment Li Ghost Cultivators were not intimidated by this statement.

Yet they did restrain some of their murderous intent.

"Daoist, having joined Three Life Gates, yet competing with us for Blood Corpse Mushrooms, isn’t this excessive?" Li Ghost Cultivator asked gravely but did not continue bidding.

Feng Jue replied coldly, "I want all the Blood Corpse Mushrooms, but I can let you have the cultivation method."

This remark was not Feng Jue’s intent.

It was Wen Jiu’s sound transmission.

Because Wen Jiu clearly saw Li Hun’s displeasure, as if he did not want Feng Jue to buy everything.

Clearly.

There are ten people here.

And the ten Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms are not without reason.

Indeed.

Upon hearing this, Li Hun immediately smiled widely, rushing to mediate, "Everyone please calm down, when Fellow Daoist Feng returns in a few days, another auction will surely be held, by then there will surely be more Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms... and maybe even Tier Two Middle Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms for auction.

Rest assured, it will still be the lowest price!"

With Li Hun providing a way out, Li Ghost Cultivator gave Li Hun a fist salute and said no more. But inwardly, he harbored murderous intent towards Feng Jue, considering Three Life Gates, this is Little Demon Realm.

You better not leave Little Demon Realm. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

As long as you leave Little Demon Realm.

I, Li Mou, will kill you!

Soon.

All ten Tier Two Lower Grade Corpse Mushrooms were bought by Feng Jue at a low price, the highest bid being fifteen thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones, a bargain indeed.

As for the ten cultivation methods, Feng Jue simply tossed nine of them to the other nine people, including Wen Jiu. After everyone received the cultivation methods, Li Hun beamed widely and gave Feng Jue a fist salute, "Feng Daoist truly honors their word, truly worthy of being a hero from Far West!"

It was clear Li Hun was very satisfied with the disposition of the Blood Corpse Mushrooms, seemingly unperturbed by Feng Jue getting a huge bargain.

Ten Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms, normally market value at least thirty-four hundred thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones, yet Feng Jue got them for under twelve thousand, logically Li Hun should be somewhat uncomfortable.

Wen Jiu watched this scene, then considered the Blood Corpse Mushroom cultivation method — it appears Li Hun’s intentions are not truly on the mushrooms.

The cultivation method is Li Hun’s true scheme.

Wen Jiu immediately glanced at the cultivation method, it indeed contained a complete Tier One Blood Corpse Mushroom cultivation method, Tier Two also reached Tier Two Lower Grade, quite decent.

But after a careful examination, Wen Jiu seemed to understand part of Li Hun’s intent.

Because the cultivation method did not include the method for collecting Corpse Mushroom spores, purely containing the planting method.

In other words.

Either find a way to collect Corpse Mushroom spores yourself, or buy them from the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect.

This way, everyone present would have ties with the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect, and the so-called debt of gratitude becomes entirely optional, thus Li Hun is very satisfied with the current outcome.

"Looks like Li Hun, or rather the Three Wonders Blood Corpse Sect is up to something," Wen Jiu thought to himself.

But he wasn’t concerned.

Li Hun’s cultivation method lacks the method for collecting Corpse Mushroom spores, but there are numerous simple ways to collect a small Corpse Mushroom spore among the Demon Soul’s memory, quite effortless.

...

In the following period, Li Hun gradually auctioned off other items, with the Tier Two Middle Grade Reed Evil Fruit becoming the main highlight, ultimately selling for a high price of fifteen thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones.

Feng Jue wanted it, but this time no one acted leniently, yet Feng Jue finally secured it for fifteen thousand as the high price.

Normally.

The price of a Tier Two Middle-Grade Yin Evil Spirit Medicine is just around ten thousand, fifteen thousand is a very high price.

But because it’s the main ingredient of the Barrier-Breaking Pill, and rare, naturally the price rises four to five times above market price. An ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator’s resources wouldn’t suffice for buying it, not even dreaming about it.

Thus Feng Jue’s action thoroughly attracted the attention of Li Ghost Cultivator Ling Li’s duo.

Being able to bring out over twenty thousand Low-grade Yin Spirit Stones for auction implies the storage bag isn’t just ordinarily wealthy.

Similarly, Wen Jiu also felt the duo’s hostility towards him, similarly eyeing his storage bag.

Nonetheless, Wen Jiu was unworried, for he had no intention of leaving Little Demon Realm now, being coveted was fine.

"Fellow Daoist Li, farewell."

With the auction ended, Wen Jiu saluted and left directly.

Returning to Lengxi Mountain, Wen Jiu handed twelve thousand Yin Spirit Stones to Feng Jue, all ten Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushrooms stored away.

"Thanks, Fellow Daoist Feng, but keep one thing in mind, if you can, don’t leave Little Demon Realm." Wen Jiu advised.

Feng Jue nodded, "Rest assured, unless Shankui returns and Three Life Gates enters Far West, I surely won’t leave Little Demon Realm."

After a brief conversation, Wen Jiu went back to his cave dwelling, preparing to test the effects of the Tier Two Lower Grade Blood Corpse Mushroom.
