The Romantic Cultivator

In the VIP room, the Lovely Empress Lu Jiangsu was telling the other 10 maidens. "I bet that Ji Yuan will surely bid for this so that he can lay his hands on all the maidens in the Cherry Blossoms Sect!"

Below the VIP room, Ji Yichi smiled before adding, "The Cherry Blossoms Sect is up for bid now at 1 billion spirit stones and the increment bid will start at 50 million spirit stones each time…"

There were huge murmurings that did not cease from earlier because this was the very first time that a major celestial sect was up for sales and it was unheard of in the entire history of the Endless Celestial Fraternity.

For a celestial sect to end up in this dire state could mean that they were greatly in debt to the other celestial sects and had no other choices left already.

Actually it was not just the Cherry Blossoms Sect that was facing such a dreadful turmoil; many of the other celestial sects were also heavily crippled by the Evil Cultivation Palace and the Holy Cultivation Palace.

Ji Yichi smiled as she said, "Counting 1, who wants to have a bid?"

Young Master Qiao Shandong immediately raised his bid token as he smiled, "1050 million spirit stones!"

There was a certain fierceness in his lecherous golden eyes when he had made the bid.

When he had placed the bid, the thousands of cultivators around the auction hall were all feeling quite shocked.

"Too rich!"

"This is the power of wealth…"

"It is quite a sad thing that a major celestial sect will actually fall from grace to this sorry state…"

Xin Dahai was sighing heavily to Ji Yuan and the Heaven Destiny Old Man, "There are many great beauties in the Cherry Blossoms Sect. They are the wet dreams of many…"

Even Xiang Li was saying to Anyang: I bet that Big Brother will bid for this!

Anyang chuckled: I think so too. If Little Yui and Aura are around, I bet they will think so as well!

Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes when he had heard them and cursed them in his spiritual sea: Are the two of you so free? How come I only see Little Yui and Aura doing their cultivations but never the two of you?

Xiang Li immediately protested: Big Brother, we've just finished our cultivations and that's why.

Anyang began to nod too as she answered: That's right!

Ji Yuan hummed: You mean the two of you have just finished your sleep, right? I've been hearing the two of you for like ages.

Then he added with a loud chuckle to them in his spiritual sea: Well, you are wrong in this. I am NOT going to bid. Hahhaha…

Ji Yuan's reply surprised both Anyang and Xiang Li.

Xiang Li asked: You are really not going to bid?

At this moment, Ji Yichi's countdown had started from 1 again and she was hammering to 2 now while asking, "Anyone else wants to bid?"

But there was no one bidding for it because 1000 million spirit stones were too much for any individuals.

It was too much even for Young Master Qiao Shandong too but he had the support of his celestial sect to expand its domain. Therefore he got his courage to bid from the leadership of his Ace Sword Manor.

In the VIP room, the Lovely Empress was startled that Ji Yuan did not make a bid at all and even Little Princess was surprised.

Even the Smiling Divine Maiden was looking at Zhi Jiugong, Yang Mi and Yu Jingjing and the other maidens for an answer; she too had secretly thought that Ji Yuan would bid for the Cherry Blossom Sect since he is so rich now.

The Spiritas maidens Tang Manni, Little Jie'Er and Xu Yifei had a nonchalant look on them because everything Ji Yuan did is considered right in their eyes. In fact, their blue eyes appeared to be beaming when the Lovely Empress was proven wrong so quickly.

Only Ding Xiaoxiao and the Immortal Fairy Lucia appeared to be indifferent as they were true immortals and they had little emotions to display what they were truly thinking.

But the other maidens knowing Ding Xiaoxiao, was sure that she did not actually care for what Ji Yuan was doing to do anyway and she was completely immune to Ji Yuan's unpredictable antics.

Ji Yuan was actually moved to bid but he had suppressed this urge; it was because he had too many female protégés already and had long lost touch of the affairs of even his own cultivation sect. He did not even know what to do with so many female protégés anyway even if they are great beauties.

Also, Ji Yuan has a strict rule in his heart and he won't not touch his own female protégés.

Moreover, he was also going to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods soon.

The purpose of coming to the Auction House was to buy a good robe for himself as well as looking out for some powerful profound items to bring to the Ancient Battleground of the Fallen Gods.

Ever since Ji Yuan has become the Holy Cultivation Emperor, he already have in control dozens of celestial sects under him and he can't even remember their names.

Ji Yichi was now smiling, "Counting to 3 now. If no one bid after this hammer then the bid shall belong to Young Master Qiao Shandong of the Ace Sword Manor…"

All of a sudden, a beautiful figure in sexy black dress had flash into the great halls of the auction house and she said quietly, "1.1 billion spirit stones!"

Everyone was gasping as they turned to look into the direction of the newly arrival.

Even Ji Yuan was startled for he had recognized that this newly arrival was actually Hua Yunzi!

In the VIP room, Little Princess was startled. "She is here? Why is she here?"

Earlier, it was the Lovely Empress, Yu Jingjing, Yang Mi and Little Jie'Er that had seen Hua Yunzi when they took Ji Yuan to purchase a suitable robe.

Little Princess had a little feud with Hua Yunzi and that was why she did not want to see her. And she did not want Hua Yunzi to see Ji Yuan ever again too.

Young Master Qiao Shandong was now raising his bid token angrily, "1.2 billion spirit stones!"

Hua Yunzi bit her mesmerizing lips before she said, "1.3 billion spirit stones!"

Young Master Qiao Shandong was now angry, "Are you sure that you have that many spirit stones?!" Then he added, "1.4 billion spirit stones!"

He was now upset because he was being forced to mark up so exceedingly for his bid.

Hua Yunzi began to hesitate; it was because she really did not have that much spirit stones.

Ji Yuan had suddenly raised his bid token and said, "I add 300 million spirit stones to Maiden Hua Yunzi's bid. So, that is 1.6 billion spirit stones."

Hua Yunzi was surprised to see Ji Yuan bidding for her even though she was expecting for Ji Yuan to be here since she was the one that had told Ji Yuan that there was a saint-step robe that was for auction today. But she had not expected for Ji Yuan to step in to help her to raise her bid.

In the VIP room, the Lovely Empress was suddenly smiling and telling the other maidens, "See! I told you that Ji Yuan will bid for the Cherry Blossom Sect!"

Little Princess sarcastically said, "And to help Hua Yunzi to turn these female cultivators into dual cultivators?"

Actually Hua Yunzi was not bidding to turn the female protégés into evil dual cultivators. It was because she felt that the female cultivators from the Cherry Blossom Sect were being forced to be harlots by the Holy Cultivation Palace and Xi Jingping. This was not their fault and they reminded her of her own fate. Therefore she was using all her accumulated wealth as great saintess and sold off all her profound treasures that she had found inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth for today's bid. But it was still not enough.

Young Master Qiao Shandong was now very angry because the maximum limit of his celestial sect was 1.5 billion spirit stones.

A profound voice began to echo to him from his necklace: We can add in another 200 million spirit stones! We can borrow this amount first! Then we can sell the harlots of the Cherry Blossom Sect for spirit stones to pay off our debts!

Young Master Qiao Shandong began to raise his bid token again as he shouted, "1.7 billion spirit stones!"

Ji Yuan said with a grin, "2 billion spirit stones!"

Everyone: …

2 billion spirit stones is too insane by any standards.

Even Young Master Qiao Shandong looked lost and he was stammering, "You… you…"

Hua Yunzi could only stare blankly at Ji Yuan for she had never thought that Ji Yuan could help her in this manner and he was adding 700 million more to her bid.

But Ji Yuan continued to grin at Young Master Qiao Shandong and it seemed that he was telling him with his grins that he could outbid him at any time.

Xiang Li chuckled to Anyang: I told you Big Brother has a soft spot for Maiden Yunzi! He was banging her very hard that night…
