Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 76: Don’t Even Think About Leading My Disciple Astray!

It was the next day, and the whole mystic city bustled with excitement.

Although Su Qiming’s movements scared a lot of people, everyone soon forgot about it and headed towards the core area, where a luxurious tall pagoda stood with reverence.

It was none other than the BlueMoon Pavilion’s main branch that controlled the other branches inside the southern province.

However, entering inside was no easy feat, especially for low-level cultivators.

"Damn it, to enter the auction, you have to be at least a Qi condensation stage expert!"

"Oh? Really? Then what about those Qi-gathering disciples entering inside?"

"Idiot! They are all led inside by their powerful master. If you have that ability, then you can go and try."

Some newbie cultivators who didn’t know the rules of the auction quarreled.

While the others who knew it were calm and just waiting for their turn to go inside.

Of course, not everyone had to line up, especially the first-grade sects and powerful families from other provinces.

There were, of course, exceptions, such as Ye Chen and people related to him.

The moment he arrived, the guards of BlueMoon Pavilion came to greet him and instantly led him inside through a VIP passage.

Witnessing this, many cultivators eyes were green with jealousy, especially Mo Chongsheng, who had to stay in the line.

…

"Brother Chen, it’s the Dragon Box! Moreover, the No. 1 at that!" Lan Ming exclaimed with stars in her eyes as she got to know in which box they would be staying.

Behind her, Wang Yiyi’s eyes also displayed shock.

Although she hadn’t attended the auction before, it didn’t mean she didn’t know about it. Especially the dragon boxes, which were famous throughout the city.

There were only about ten dragon boxes and could only be opened by powers like the royal family and first-grade sects.

It’s not like the BlueMoon pavilion wouldn’t allow others, but it’s just that they can’t afford to spend 100,000 mid-grade spiritual stones on it.

Moreover, this was just the cost of the No. 10 dragon box. The higher you go, the more costs would increase, such as the No. 1 box, which cost about one million mid-grade spirit stones.

Even the royal family and first-grade sects will feel pained by spending so much money for just sitting there.

"Don’t run around; the box is not going anywhere!" Jing Xiao pouted with a dissatisfied look as she saw Wang Yiyi slipping away from her side.

However, Wang Yiyi didn’t care about her dissatisfaction and strode inside the box with Lan Ming.

"Wow! It’s really luxurious, as the rumors say!"

She couldn’t help but exclaim.

The dragon box was as big as a normal hall filled with luxurious sofas, tables, plates, and high-quality spirit fruits.

There were also paintings, murals, and other miscellaneous things, which would cost a lot of spirit stones.

"I didn’t expect manager Hong Fang to give you this box," Jing Xiao muttered with a sigh.

She had long known that Hong Fang might arrange for Ye Chen to be put into the dragon box for free; it’s just she never thought it would be this one.

’Good thing I came with this brat; if not, I would have sat there in the crowd,’ Jing Xiao thought to herself as she glanced at the shocked crowd in the auction hall.

How could they be calm after knowing someone had spent one million spiritual stones just to sit inside the No. 1 Dragon Box?

Although they couldn’t see who was inside because of the one-way glass, the light shining around the glass frame told them that someone was there.

"Hiss! Who is so rich! Why is such a figure appearing in this auction?

"Looks like things won’t be smooth for us."

"Who knows, maybe someone just wanted to know how it feels to sit there, so they opened the box."

"Humph! No matter what that person is thinking, if he can open the No. 1 Dragon Box, then he must be rich! Be prepared to lose when competing with him."

The crowd in the hall couldn’t help but become noisy.

Everyone speculated who would be in the No. 1 dragon hall. Was it the prince of the royal family or some genius from the first-grade sect?

Just as they were thinking this, the lights of No. 2 Dragon Hall lit up, attracting everyone’s attention.

"Fuck! I had brought all the spiritual stones I had saved, yet I can’t even open a No. 10 dragon box! Is the god playing with me?"

"Sigh! Those people are thousands of times richer than us."

Many rogue cultivators couldn’t help but complain, followed by some third-grade sects.

No one knew that the two dragon boxes were opened for free. One was for Ye Chen, while the other was for Su Qiming.

Hong Fang was still busy managing some important affairs, so he didn’t come to greet them.

As for Su Qiming, he didn’t even waste any time and arrived in the No. 1 box.

"Xiao Chen, I am sorry for disturbing you right now," he apologized with a slight bow.

In response, Ye Chen waved his hand with a faint smile.

"Old man Su, you are here to give me money, so how could I dislike your presence?" he said with a chuckle.

Hearing him, Su Qiming smiled wryly, feeling a little pained; however, he didn’t hesitate and handed the spatial ring to Ye Chen.

"Xiao Chen, this ring contains the spiritual stones for this year as per the contract. If you need more, you can feel free to ask from me. I am just staying in the No. 2 box," Su Qiming said shortly.

After which he didn’t waste Ye Chen’s time and said goodbye.

’This old man is really crafty.’ Jing Xiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes a little.

As per the contract, Su Qiming had to give two million spiritual stones every year to Ye Chen until he paid the whole sum.

So, there was no need for the old man to give more than this. Then why was he doing this? It was simple; he just wanted Ye Chen to owe him a favor. With this, the old man could easily set up a trap to marry off his daughter to the handsome young man.

Ye Chen also saw through what the old man was planning, but he didn’t care. For him, two million spiritual stones were enough for this auction.

…

"Hey, look, the third Dragon Box is opened!"

Suddenly someone pointed at the row of dragon boxes where the No. 3 Dragon Box was lit up.

This shocked many in the auction, especially the second-grade and third-grade sets.

However, it was not the end of it. Soon the fourth, fifth, and sixth dragon boxes lit up, casting silence inside the auction hall.

"What the hell! Is this auction of the capital city? If not, why are there so many tycoons?"

"Yeah, I wonder if I can get any items today."

Many rogue cultivators and third-grade sects couldn’t help but sigh. Even the second-grade sects who were in the general VIP room had dignified looks.

They had all gotten the news that Crown Prince Ji Feng opened the No. 3 dragon box.

While the Sword Pavilion, Buddhist Temple, and the Mu family of the western province had opened the following.

However, they still could not find who was inside the No. 1 and No. 2 dragon boxes.

At this moment, two more dragon boxes lit up, opened by the Wu family of the eastern province and the Li family of the northern province.

Although only youngsters from such families had arrived along with a few elders, their status was huge. Sometimes even exceeding the genius disciples of the first-grade sect.

The atmosphere in the auction hall couldn’t help but tense up. No one understood why there were so many dragon boxes opening today.

Moreover, there were two unknown people who sat higher than the royal family crown prince.

…

"Senior brother, did something happen? Why is everybody silent and looking afraid?" Li Mei couldn’t help but inquire innocently.

Anyone had yet to tell her the importance of Dragon Box, so she just thought the old man Hong Fang was being nice by giving a VIP room for free.

"Xiao Mei, they are just afraid of us; if you want to, you can scare them even further with this voice transfer jade. There is a voice-altering function inside it, so feel free to taunt however much you want," Ye Chen replied with a chuckle as he handed the blue jade token to her.

Watching him like this, Jing Xiao’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, and just as she was about to say something, Li Mei shook her head in denial.

"No, I am not a bad guy like senior brother," she refused with a pout.

In response, Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Lan Ming, but she too innately shook her head.

Now there was only one person left, which might have interested him, but before he could ask, Jing Xiao arrived between him and Wang Yiyi.

"Don’t even think about leading my disciple astray!" she stated with a stern tone.

Hearing her, Ye Chen smiled faintly and was just about to say something when a figure appeared on the auction stage.
