My wife who comes from a wealthy family
Chapter 830 - 831: Li Tiandao Appears

Chapter 830: Chapter 831: Li Tiandao Appears

The Motian Auction House is enormous, divided into four levels!

The first floor houses the main hall, while the second floor and above consist of private rooms.

These include ordinary private rooms!

Luxurious private rooms!

And imperial private rooms!

Among them, cultivators in the early and middle stages of the True Pill Stage can only sit in the main hall on the first floor!

Only powerful cultivators in the late stage of the True Pill Stage can enjoy the privilege of a private room!

As for the luxurious private rooms, only monsters in the Transformation Realm are qualified to use them!

And as for the legendary imperial private rooms—it’s said they haven’t been opened for decades. Only peak Transformation Realm monsters or Unity Realm experts can enjoy them.

Under Manager Jin’s personal invitation, Ye Wudao and his group were led to an ordinary private room on the second floor.

Just as Manager Jin had described, the private room was stocked with fruits, delicacies, and fine wines—all readily available!

"Grandpa, all this food is yours!" Ye Wudao joked with a smile.

The old rascal wasn’t the least bit polite, indulging in the feast with reckless abandon!

"Manager Jin, can you get me a list of the auction items?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Ah, I almost forgot! Normally, only Transformation Realm monsters in the luxurious private rooms are allowed to see the auction list in advance. But given your special status, I’ll get it for you immediately!" Manager Jin replied.

"Alright," Ye Wudao nodded.

Soon enough, Manager Jin personally brought over the auction list!

"Old Ye, are there any rare treasures on the list?" Long Mie curiously stuck his head over, his mouth immediately falling open, "Whoa! There’s quite a lot of good stuff!"

"Hmm, this Kirin Severing Dagger looks good—it’s a grade-four magical artifact worth thirty Spirit Crystals!"

"This Heaven Punishment Sword looks incredible! It’s actually a grade-five magical artifact. The price is truly steep—tsk tsk, fifty Spirit Crystals!"

"And this Nameless Mask—tsk tsk—it can block the Divine Sense of Transformation Realm cultivators and freely change the wearer’s appearance! The price is ridiculously high—forty Spirit Stones!" Ye Wudao stared at a black mask with an expression of pained reluctance.

What he needed the most right now was a mask that could conceal his identity!

Otherwise, if he were discovered by Li Tiandao, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Old Ye, do you have Spirit Crystals on you?" Long Mie asked.

"I’ve got fifty Spirit Crystals. If I spend forty on the mask, I’ll only have ten Spirit Crystals left to borrow from you!"

"Ten Spirit Crystals aren’t enough!" Long Mie frowned, his gaze promptly shifting to Master Skeletal.

Master Skeletal quickly laughed awkwardly and waved his hand, "Brother Long, I—I don’t have much on me either!"

"You’re a Heavenly Corpse Sect elder and a late-stage True Pill cultivator! You must have a hundred, eighty Spirit Crystals at least, right? Be a good sport and hand them over!" Long Mie’s tone was that of a butcher intimidating his prey.

"Long Mie, forget about it!" Ye Wudao interjected, shaking his head. "Our target is Li Tiandao. I figure Li Tiandao has plenty of money, enough to buy whatever we need!"

"Heh heh, that’s true!" Long Mie grinned ominously.

Ye Wudao patted the shoulder of Master Skeletal, whose face was pale with fright, and reassured him, "As long as you stick with us and work together against Li Tiandao, I won’t let you suffer for it!"

"Yes, yes. Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Master Skeletal replied with gratitude, silently relieved at having narrowly saved his stash of Spirit Crystals.

Not long after, the auction began!

The auctioneer was a tall, strikingly beautiful woman clad in a long purple gauze dress that accentuated her charm. Her cultivation level wasn’t weak either—she was impressively a late-stage True Pill cultivator.

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the Motian Auction House. I am Ziyun, honored to meet you all!" Ziyun offered a graceful bow, stirring up a wave of excitement across the room.

"Miss Ziyun!"

"Ziyun is one of the top three auctioneers of the Motian Auction House, embodying beauty, talent, and strength!"

"She has countless fans in the cultivation world!"

Ziyun smiled and declared, "Alright, I won’t ramble on! As always, the auction starts now!"

It was Ye Wudao’s first time attending an auction exclusively for cultivators, and while he found it intriguing, he realized it wasn’t so different from auctions he’d attended before.

Soon, Ziyun picked up a blood-red long blade and announced, "This blade is named the Blood Slaughter Knife. It was once a grade-six magical artifact but suffered damage during an incident, reducing its grade to five. Even so, its power rivals that of grade-six magical artifacts. The starting bid is one hundred Spirit Crystals, with each increment no less than ten Spirit Crystals!"

What?!

The Blood Slaughter Knife!

Starting bid—one hundred Spirit Crystals!

The entire room buzzed with excitement!

However, many knew this price was beyond the reach of most ordinary True Pill cultivators.

"I, Zhao Zhuo of Bull Mang Mountain, bid one hundred Spirit Crystals! I hope my fellow Daoists will give me some face!" a voice rang out amid laughter.

"Gasp—it’s Zhao Zhuo from Bull Mang Mountain!"

"This man is a late-stage True Pill cultivator!"

"Bull Mang Mountain is a second-tier cultivation sect, and Zhao Zhuo is the elder!" Many attendees recognized Zhao Zhuo’s background.

Just then, a voice sneered, "Who is Zhao Zhuo to talk about face? I, Hei Kui Loose Cultivator, bid one hundred ten Spirit Crystals!"

Gasp!

Hei Kui Loose Cultivator!

Master Skeletal’s complexion turned ashen, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes burning with rage.

"Master Skeletal, what’s wrong? Do you have a grudge with Hei Kui Loose Cultivator?" Ye Wudao asked.

"Young Master Ye, to tell the truth, Hei Kui Loose Cultivator is a demonic loose cultivator with formidable strength—he’s a Transformation Realm monstrosity! I bear a life-or-death enmity with Hei Kui Loose Cultivator; my sister perished at his hands!" Master Skeletal replied, his voice heavy with anger.

What?!

Ye Wudao froze, hastily asking, "Aren’t you an elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect? Shouldn’t your sect stand up for you?"

"If the opposing party were merely a late-stage True Pill cultivator, the Heavenly Corpse Sect might intervene. But Hei Kui Loose Cultivator is a Transformation Realm cultivator. The Heavenly Corpse Sect wouldn’t risk offending a Transformation Realm monstrosity over a mere elder like me!" Master Skeletal explained bitterly.

Ye Wudao gazed at Master Skeletal’s furious expression and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

Even a late-stage True Pill cultivator like Master Skeletal bore such deep hatred but had no means to act against his foe despite facing him. The cultivation world truly is survival of the fittest!

"In that case, since Senior Hei Kui desires this blade, I shall withdraw!" Zhao Zhuo sensibly conceded. Though he was a late-stage True Pill cultivator, his strength and status were far inferior to Hei Kui Loose Cultivator’s.

"Hmph, you made the right choice!" Hei Kui Loose Cultivator replied smugly.

"Senior Hei Kui bids one hundred ten Spirit Crystals—going once, going twice, thir—" Ziyun began to finalize the transaction when a domineering voice interrupted, "I, Li Tiandao, bid one hundred forty Spirit Crystals! Who dares challenge me?"

Gasp!

The audience erupted in shock!

"Oh no, it’s Li Tiandao, the youngest Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Corpse Sect!"

"Rumor has it Li Tiandao is incredibly powerful and was once the final disciple of the Alchemy Master Wudaozi, with exceptional skill in alchemy. He enjoys the favor of Heavenly Corpse Sect leaders and has boundless potential!"

"It seems Hei Kui Loose Cultivator is about to lose face!" Many cultivators discussed fervently among themselves.

"Impressive, Li Tiandao! Daoist Li, raising the price by thirty Spirit Crystals in one go—such boldness!" Hei Kui Loose Cultivator praised.

"Heh, it’s just a few Spirit Crystals—nothing worth mentioning!" Li Tiandao replied arrogantly.

"Heh, I’ve heard Daoist Li just advanced to the Transformation Realm and recently married a young wife! I’ll refrain from competing over this Blood Slaughter Knife and wish Daoist Li marital bliss!" Hei Kui Loose Cultivator said, graciously stepping aside. Though he was a seasoned peak Transformation Realm cultivator, as a loose cultivator, he couldn’t compare to Li Tiandao, the Heavenly Corpse Sect’s rising star.

"Haha! Many thanks, Brother Hei! Do come over for the wedding feast sometime!" Li Tiandao laughed.

"Wait, Senior Li, is it true you got married?" Ziyun’s delicate face lit up with curiosity.

"Yes, my sweet wife’s name is Su Yueli. She’s only in her twenties. In half a month, all cultivators at the late stage of the True Pill realm and up can join me at my residence for a free wedding feast!" Li Tiandao boasted gleefully.

"Haha, young wife with an old master—congratulations indeed!"

"How could he be old? Senior Li is quite young among the Transformation Realm monsters!"

"We’re honored by Senior Li’s invitation. We’ll definitely attend!" A cluster of late-stage True Pill cultivators rushed to offer congratulations, eager to seize the chance to curry favor with Li Tiandao.

"Damn it, my sister is indeed in Li Tiandao’s hands! That bastard kidnapped her and now intends to force her into marrying him!" Long Mie exploded in fury.

Bam!

Ye Wudao slammed his fist into the table, his fiery gaze ablaze with fury. An intimidating aura of killing intent radiated from him as he growled, "If I don’t exact revenge, I’m not human!"
