The reason he was able to escape wasn't because he was skilled in stealth, it was simply because no one cared about him.
The auction house didn't know he was missing, and Miemie didn't think about retrieving him...
The root cause of this situation lay with the little monk.
Even though there was some turmoil in the auction due to the little monk's meddling, the cactus was still sold for a satisfactory price.
Even if it couldn't directly elevate someone to Mahayana, just improving a single level was worth it for a loose cultivator.
After a tense and exciting bidding war, the cactus was won by a middle-aged cultivator with the alias Brother Dai.
He had considered bidding for the Little Earth Immortal before the cactus was introduced.
Brother Dai planned to buy the Little Earth Immortal back as a toy for his youngest sister.
