As time passed, those who were interested and had the financial means had already obtained the qualifications. Now, only those who were interested but lacked funds remained. It had been a long time since anyone in the hall had made another bid.
Mo Xuyu saw that the crowd was getting a bit impatient and soothed them:
"Everyone, please be patient. Wait another quarter of an hour. If no one else buys the qualifications, this old man will inform you of the reason. It will definitely not disappoint you."
He hadn't expected that by changing the method and adopting a Small Profits, Quick Turnover approach, he would actually earn more than through a direct Auction. For every extra person, he earned an extra share, so he naturally hoped to wait a bit longer.
Hearing this, the crowd suppressed their impatience. They had already waited for so long; they certainly had the patience to wait another quarter of an hour.
They weren't at all worried about whether the Black Emperor Sect was playing tricks on them. In this kind of setting, if the Black Emperor Sect dared to pull any stunts, did they really not want to survive in the Black Corner Region anymore? Some of the forces present had foundations no weaker than the Black Emperor Sect's. If they were truly angered and united, even the Black Emperor Sect would face destruction.
A quarter of an hour passed in a flash. After Mo Xuyu earned another million, he looked at the expectant crowd and said loudly:
"Regardless of your gains, this Auction ends here. Next, those who have obtained the special Jade Token, please follow me. The rest of you are free to go."
He naturally saw the greedy or indifferent looks in the eyes of those people, but as long as they didn't cause trouble at his Auction, he wouldn't care. After all, the Black Emperor Sect wasn't their nanny. As long as money was exchanged for goods and the transaction was settled on the spot, whether they could hold onto it was not something they cared about. Perhaps, he himself might even get involved...
The real show is just beginning now. The coming period will likely be a true bloodbath...
Although those gazes were very subtle, how could they escape Zhao Li's perception? He smiled inwardly, not particularly bothered, and also stood up. Under the envious and curious gazes of the crowd, he followed behind Mo Xuyu and turned into a Passage.
At this moment, only nearly a hundred people followed behind Mo Xuyu, but this lineup was truly somewhat terrifying. Regardless of who they were, they were the most elite group in the Black Corner Region, either Dou Sects or representatives from Major Powers.
Not long after, at the end of the Passage, a Stone Chamber opened. Mo Xuyu was the first to walk in, while the crowd behind him stopped, seemingly with some reservations.
This was the Black Corner Region; no one would entrust their Life and Fortune to others. They only trusted themselves. And this Secret Chamber was, after all, Mo Xuyu's base camp. If he truly harbored any Ulterior Motives, they might not be able to retreat safely.
"Sect Master Mo, if there's anything, just say it here. There are so many Dou Sects and Dou Emperors here; no one has the ability to eavesdrop in front of so many strong individuals. Sect Master Mo, please rest assured."
Old Man Yin Shan spoke again, taking the opportunity to take a jab at Mo Xuyu.
Mo Xuyu turned around and saw that everyone was somewhat wary. He sneered inwardly but didn't say much, just nodded. Immediately, his Hand Seals changed, and an invisible ripple spread around.
"Since that's the case, this old man will be straightforward. A few years ago, this old man, believing his Cultivation Reached Great Success, left the Black Corner Region and went to my old home in the Central Plains to retrieve what belonged to me. I accidentally stumbled upon a Ruins Space. Based on initial judgment, it is a Dou Sheng Ruins."
At this point, there wasn't much joy among the crowd; they even began to look grim:
"Sect Master Mo, you're truly daring. Leaving aside whether it's a Dou Sheng Ruins or not, even if it is, do we have any chance of competing for it?"
If it were truly a Dou Sheng Ruins, it naturally wouldn't just be Small Fry like them going. There might even be Dou Venerates, and they would only be used as Cannon Fodder.
"Be patient, I'm not finished yet. First, that Ruins was something I stumbled upon accidentally; it's extremely hidden and hasn't been discovered or publicized by anyone else. Second..."
Mo Xuyu wasn't surprised. Of course, if it were just like that, he wouldn't dare to hype this matter up. As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, he made everyone's hearts tense up again.
"Stop Building Suspense, stop Hesitating, hurry up and speak."
A figure completely shrouded in a Black Robe, seeing Mo Xuyu stop, said impatiently and indifferently.
Mo Xuyu sensed the faint Dou Sect aura, his eye twitched, and he smiled, continuing:
"That place can only be explored by those below the Dou Venerate level."
As his words fell, the crowd became eager. Even if some were suspicious, they were still willing to choose to believe, because only then could they gain something from it.
Of course, not everyone would be blinded by joy. That Old Man Yin Shan, for some reason, always seemed to like opposing Mo Xuyu:
"How can you tell? If it's really as you say, why not explore it yourself? Why publicize it? Are you trying to trick us into being Pathfinding Ghosts?"
As his words fell, the crowd, who had been eager moments before, felt their hearts turn cold again. Before he spoke, they could still pretend to be ignorant and ignore it, acting as if they didn't know. But now that it had been pointed out, if they still didn't consider such a possibility, they would truly be Suckers and fools.
Facing the crowd's suspicious and probing gazes, Mo Xuyu's expression slightly darkened, feeling truly uncomfortable.
His Cultivation Reached Great Success, not only resolving the things weighing on his mind but also encountering a new Ruins on his return journey. It was a series of joyful events. He even felt that Destiny favored him and that he was about to reach the Peak of Life. But...
A terrifying power flashed through his mind, stirring up a Spatial Storm that banished him countless distances. It directly transported him from the Central Plains Ruins to the Northwestern Continent. If not for this, why wouldn't he explore it himself?
Having narrowly survived, he was ultimately a person with a brain. He quickly thought of a way to make money, and the Auction hype was born from this. Although there were some twists and turns, the result was very satisfying to him. Just this news alone earned him nearly a hundred million. As long as they were converted into strength, the Black Emperor Sect would definitely take another step forward. At that time, wouldn't these people be Making a Wedding Dress for him...
Mo Xuyu suppressed the thoughts in his mind and continued:
"I can't say for outside the Ruins, but within the Ruins, any power exceeding the Dou Sect Peak can shatter the Ruins Space. At that time, the terrifying Spatial Storm is something even Dou Venerates would avoid. And among those who can cultivate to Dou Venerate, who would risk falling or getting lost by forcefully making a move? As for them Restraining Themselves, would they still be Dou Venerates then?"
What he said was not false. Hearing this, the others pondered and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Only Zhao Li looked at the relaxed expressions of a few Dou Sects and didn't even have the desire to complain.
Even if they Restrained Themselves, Dou Venerates were still Dou Venerates. Whether it was the quality and quantity of Dou Qi or their combat methods, they were enough to easily crush the Dou Sects present. They could only take a beating and run away.
This was a crushing blow in terms of knowledge and perception. That feeling of everyone else being ignorant while only he knew, he had to admit, Zhao Li was actually feeling a little good about it.
And when Mo Xuyu saw that everyone had quieted down again, he continued to tell them what he knew, allowing them to accept such a million-dollar piece of information.
"Hehe, this is the information I know. Everyone, please rest assured, my Black Emperor Sect has a Large Family and Business and won't run away. We have a sense of what money can be earned and what money cannot be earned. We wouldn't dare to fake such a major matter."
Mo Xuyu said a few words with a smile. The crowd was noncommittal but believed him a bit more.
"Oh, right, a reminder. That was half a month ago. It will take at least three months for you to get there. If you don't want to arrive there and only be Picking Up Scraps left by others, it's best to prepare early."
At Mo Xuyu's reminder, everyone bid farewell and left.
"That's it?"
This was Zhao Li's thought at the moment. Although he hadn't held much hope, he had lost interest in that Ruins. Just as he was about to leave, Mo Xuyu called out to him:
"Is this friend an Alchemist?"
Hearing Mo Xuyu's voice, Zhao Li's footsteps paused slightly. He glanced indifferently at Mo Xuyu, nodded, and then a slightly puzzled voice came out:
"Something wrong?"
