After ten hours of good sleep, The sunlight pierced through Jack's window, coming over his face and waking him im . He stretched his arms with a yawn, feeling his body refreshed and brimming with energy.
After a few minutes of lying in bed, he finally got up and headed to the bathroom to answer the call of nature. Even though he is a cultivator, he is only at the second realm.
Qi Disciple Realm cultivators can endure without sleep or food for a week , but they are still far from reaching the point of being completely free from mortal needs.
After getting his shit ready, he immediately left his room to go and meet the Xu Family to participate in the auction. On his way out of the inn, he came across the old lady.
"Young master, did you enjoy your time here?" she asked with a faint smile.
Jack didn't answer, handing her a pouch containing 5,000 low spirit stones as he left immediately. He only heard the shouting of the old lady after getting out: "Thank you, young master! Thank you!"
"Hmmmn… before going to the auction, I need to buy some clothes to fit my 'young master' status, as what I'm wearing now is but a mere piece of shit," Jack muttered to himself. He began rushing toward the nearest clothes store to not miss the auction
, and soon enough, he found one.
He entered the shop, which was filled with arrogant young masters who immediately shot him contemptuous looks. He didn't care
For them and began scrolling through the different clothes until he found a long black robe adorned with golden Paracelsus lines, tied at the waist with a crimson leather belt.
"This is good for now…" Jack said as he took the robe to the attendant and bought it with 20,000 low spirit stones. He then went to the changing room, removed his old clothes, and wore the black robe.
"Hoho… now this is what a young master should look like," Jack muttered with a smile as he touched his face. This was the first time since his transmigration that he truly looked at himself, and without a doubt, he was hella handsome.
His pupils glowed red, his nose had a Romanian shape, and his long black hair flowed freely. Standing at 6'2", he was somewhat tall for this world.
Afterward, he didn't waste a moment and ran to the auction at full speed. Fifteen minutes later, he arrived in front of the Dark Lotus Auction.
The first entrances of the auction house was crowded with people in ordinary attire, Most of them were rogue cultivators and bandits,
pushing and yelling at each other.
"Motherfucker, move out of my way!"
"Who's the fucker that stabbed my butt with his sword?!"
Jack noticed a second entrance to the auction house, reserved exclusively for nobles and sect members. He saw rows of noble scions and elders walking by with an air of superiority.
He slipped in there immediately and as soon as he did, he immediately heard a unique voice.
"Fufu… I thought you forgot about the auction and wouldn't come," a seductive voice echoed behind him. and Without even turning around, he knew who the voice belonged to.
Hahaha, Lady Lian knows how to joke," Jack replied with a faint smile as he took her hand for a gentle kiss.
"Fufu, let's enter quickly before we miss the auction," she said, a faint blush coloring her beautiful face as she tried to change the topic.
Afterward, they entered the auction house and were soon greeted by a young attendant, who asked in a professional tone, "Can you please show me your tokens?"
Xu Lianhua and her companions from the Xu Family showed their silver tokens, while Jack stood there watching them. Xu Lianhua mistook his hesitation for having no more money.
and as she was about to buy him a token, Jack revealed his golden VIP token to the attendant. The attendant bowed respectfully as she said, "Let me take you to your room, young master."
"Jack…" Xu Lianhua said in a hesitant voice, clearly shocked. This youth had been saved by them just a day ago and had looked like a beggar with his dirty, torn clothes. And now, after merely one day.
he was wearing a suit only rich young masters could afford—and even held a VIP token for the Dark Lotus Auction! One must understand that,even though she was the matriarch of a third-grade family and a Peak Master Realm cultivator.
she was still unworthy of holding the highest token this auction could offer—the golden one.
To obtain the VIP token of the Dark Lotus Auction, you have to accomplish one of two conditions. The first is to be an important figure of a fourth-rank family or sect. The second is to help the auction house in finding treasures, whether by giving them a map of high-grade items or placing a high-value item in the auction.
Hmmm… Lady Lian, would you grace me with your beauty?" Jack said with a faint smile as he offered his hand to Matriarch Xu.
This… the seductive Xu Matriarch was gone immediately, replaced by the aloof matriarch who thought twice before doing anything. She wasn't the matriarch of the Xu Family for nothing. She was, without a doubt, the strongest in her clan—but does supremacy mean only strength? Not at all.
Let's make a comparison: two geniuses, equal in every aspect, but one is wise, knowing when to bow his head and surrender, while the other is arrogant, provoking death time after time.
So, who is going to live longer? Absolutely the clever one—unless the arrogant one is a beta protagonist, then this comparison doesn't count.
And the same went for Xu Lianhua, as she knew that nothing in this world comes free. But after a few seconds of hesitation, she offered her hand to Jack.
"Matriarch, this is inappropriate… if news of such a thing were to reach Master Liang Chen, then our family would be doomed," Elder Xu Zhan suddenly spoke, his voice full of fear.
