Chapter 174 People are like animals
"Friend Dian, what's wrong?"

While standing in the queue, Wang Changlin saw Dian Chu staring at the entrance and couldn't help but ask.

"The person who just went in feels very familiar."

Unfortunately, the man had disappeared. Dian Chu withdrew his gaze and answered Wang Changlin.

"It must be an illusion. I didn't... huh?"

Dian Ding responded casually, and then his eyes turned around as if he thought of something.

"Fellow Daoist Dian Ding, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Changlin was confused and didn't know why the two brothers were acting so strangely today.

"Nothing, it's almost our turn, hurry up and take out your tickets."

Dian Ding dealt with it casually.

The admission tickets for the three of them were all purchased by Dian Ding, so naturally there was no problem and they entered the auction venue smoothly.

As soon as they came in, Dian Chu and Dian Ding started searching the hall.

"Our seats are over there, no need to look."

Wang Changlin had been to this auction house once before and had memorized the seating arrangement. Seeing the two people looking around, he thought they couldn't find their seats, so he reminded them.

"Oh, then hurry over there."

The two brothers evaded the question and followed Wang Changlin to their seats, waiting for the auction to begin.

They heard that there would be a lot of good things in this auction and it was really worth looking forward to.

"Did you notice me? You're really perceptive."

In the box on the second floor, Fang Chen had a complete view of the actions of the Dian Chu brothers.

As an important guest of this auction, he certainly didn't have to sit in the hall like Wang Changlin and the other two. The organizer specially arranged a box for him.

You can have a better view while also having enough privacy.

Seeing that the two were no longer looking for him, he closed his eyes and waited patiently for the auction to begin.

"when--"

About half an hour later, a gong sounded, reminding everyone present that the auction was about to begin.

"when--"

Another gong sounded, and the lights on the scene dimmed, turning the auction hall into darkness.

"when--"

The third gong sounded, and a beam of light shone on the auction table, attracting everyone's attention.

Of course, more importantly, a charming and graceful demon cultivator appeared on the stage at some point. She was covered in a veil that was extremely translucent, yet covered her important parts. She instantly became the focus of lights and attention.

Wang Changlin and the Dian Chu brothers swallowed their saliva together.

"A honey trap? This kind of aura, a witch from the Ji Le Sect?"

Fang Chen didn't feel anything, but instead began to guess the origins of this woman.

According to the memories of those demon cultivators he obtained, the Jile Sect is a sect that specializes in taking yang to replenish yin. The sect is made up of women, and its overall strength is comparable to that of the Blood Demon Palace. It is also one of the high-level leaders of the Demon Cultivator Alliance.

"My name is Tianxiang. Nice to meet you fellow Taoists. I will host this auction today. I hope you will show me some mercy."

Tianxiang's voice is so gentle and delicate that one can't help but want to indulge in it.

This is the case with Wang Changlin and the other two now.

"Dead clamp."

Fang Chen shook his head. He didn't like this kind of corny voice.

If this wasn't just an incarnation, I might have gotten goosebumps.

"My fellow Taoists must be getting impatient, so I will stop talking and show you the first item of today's auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, staff members pushed ten iron cages onto the stage.

Seeing what was inside clearly, Fang Chen clenched his fists instantly. "Beast!"

The iron cage contained not monsters but young boys and girls.

There was one person in each iron cage, for a total of ten people.

They were dressed in rags, with terrified looks in their eyes, and they tried desperately to shout, but no sound came out.

I guess there's some kind of restriction.

And judging from their condition, they must have been out of water and food for a long time, and they are relying entirely on spiritual energy to stay alive.

I'm afraid this is to prevent them from being frightened and incontinent on the auction stage.

"My fellow Taoists, I don't need to introduce you too much. These are ten boys and girls with natural spiritual roots, and a Soul-Blocking Jade Plate that will make them obey your orders completely. The starting price for each is 5,000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid must not be less than 100 Spiritual Stones."

"Fifty thousand spirit stones, I want them all."

As soon as Tianxiang finished speaking, someone called out a price.

"Humph, you want to take down ten assassins with heavenly spiritual roots with just 50,000 spiritual stones? That's wishful thinking. I'll pay 60,000 spiritual stones."

Someone immediately started competing with him for it.

"My two Taoist friends, please follow the rules. These ten boys and girls can only be auctioned separately. According to the order, now it's number one. What a handsome little brother! I want to buy him and cultivate him into a cauldron."

Tianxiang spoke again to stop the two from bidding and explained the rules of the auction.

Fang Chen in the box had also completely calmed down by now.

To be precise, he reacted when he heard the three words "Heavenly Spiritual Roots".

He still remembered what Dian Chu had said, that most mortals in the Star-Moon Sea did not have spiritual roots.

This is obviously a lie. The truth is that the Demonic Alliance took away their spiritual roots, and the actual purpose is still unknown.

Judging from the reactions of the people below, this is not the first time that the Demon Cultivator Alliance has auctioned off boys and girls with natural spiritual roots.

You know, the probability of the birth of a natural spiritual root is very small. Where did the Demon Cultivator Alliance get so many of them?

It certainly couldn't have been sold to them by a righteous immortal sect.

The disciples with natural spiritual roots have not even had time to treasure their treasures, so why would they sell them to the evil cultivators?
Even if I offend someone, I will definitely destroy it instead of using such stupid methods as selling it.

In this way, combined with the mortals whose spiritual roots were taken away, the origins of these boys and girls with spiritual roots become intriguing.

More importantly, why would the Demonic Cultivator Alliance sell these boys and girls with natural spiritual roots to the people from the righteous immortal sects?

Moreover, a soul-binding restriction was placed on them. Although he didn't quite understand what it was, he could figure out its general purpose, which was to make these boys and girls completely obey the person holding the soul-binding jade token.

Isn't this sending weapons into the hands of the enemy?

"Or maybe the demon cultivator left a backdoor in the Soul-Forbidden Jade Plate, so they can regain control of these boys and girls?"

Fang Chen thought of a possibility, but felt something was wrong: "It shouldn't be. The level of formation of the righteous immortal sect is not low. If they did these things, the people of the immortal sect would definitely be able to see it."

Unable to figure it out, Fang Chen turned his attention to the auction below.

At this time, the price of the first boy had been called up to 15,000 spirit stones, and it was still rising, finally settling at 20,000 spirit stones.

"Twenty thousand spirit stones for the first time."

Seeing that no one continued to bid, Tianxiang also started to remind people.

"Twenty thousand spirit stones for the second time."

Still no one continued to bid.

"Twenty thousand spirit stones for the third time, deal. Congratulations to the fellow Taoist sitting in the sixth seat in the fifth row for obtaining the first boy with natural spirit roots."

The hammer finally fell on Tianxiang. Fang Chen in the box stared at the boy who was auctioned off. He wanted to change the current situation of being treated as human livestock, but he was powerless.

However, at the moment the hammer fell, he saw a smug smile appear on the frightened face of the boy, but it quickly disappeared, and he became extremely frightened again and kept struggling.

Fang Chen's heart immediately became anxious again.
