Chapter 1059: Chapter 1059: Hero Auction, A World Apart
Swan City, at the Hero Auction site.
Zhang Bin and the three goofballs restored their original appearances and walked in, escorted by many Cultivators of the Daoyi Sect.
Of course, the one with the highest Realm was Li Taiqing, who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul Early Stage.
The rest were basically all at the Golden Core Realm.
At the very least, there were more than thirty Golden Core Realm Experts.
So the scene really was awe‑inspiring, overwhelmingly imposing.
It made everyone look over.
Many people’s faces showed a look of reverent fear.
After all, the Daoyi Sect represented China’s True Cultivation Sects, and its strength could easily rank in the top three in the world.
Even Zhang Bin himself was full of emotion; a year ago, he had also attended the Hero Auction.
But back then, how down‑and‑out he had been, only cultivated to the Liquid State.
At that time, Si Yangze was the Sect Master of Daoyi Sect, awe‑inspiring in every direction.
Back then he could only look up to him.
Back then he was all alone, targeted by Tanikawa, hunted by experts from the Island Nation.
What an unbearable period of the past that was.
However, in just one year, he had grown up, cultivated to the Pinnacle of Seed-Condensing Realm, and even gained the ability to slaughter enemies above his Realm; even a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator, he could kill.
This year, he had also destroyed three super terrifying evil Sects: the Deceive-Heaven Sect, the Demon Sect, and the Youming Sect.
He had also made the Taiqing Sect very powerful; it now had nine experts at the Nascent Soul Realm.
Chiang Xue’s strength was also very great; she could deal with a Great Perfection Nascent Soul Cultivator.
So the current Taiqing Sect could be counted as a super powerful Sect.
What a huge achievement was that?
Moreover, he was now the Sect Master of Daoyi Sect. Under his management, the Daoyi Sect had truly become a just and fair Sect, making Chinese Cultivators all behave themselves, no one dared to act recklessly.
He walked forward, and wherever he passed, almost all the Cultivators stood up and greeted him respectfully.
Not just because Zhang Bin was the Sect Master of Daoyi Sect, not just because Zhang Bin was very strong.
But also because Zhang Bin had made a tremendous contribution to the people of the world.
He had researched many medicines for terminal illnesses and saved who knows how many lives.
He had developed a miraculous bio‑energy, allowing Earth’s pollution to be controlled and improved, and letting Earth’s environment slowly change.
He had also transformed the Taklamakan Desert into an oasis, and he was still working hard on transforming the Sahara Desert.
Additionally, he had eradicated the Deceive-Heaven Sect, the Demon Sect, and the Youming Sect.
His contribution was simply too great.
Almost everyone here had benefited from Zhang Bin’s kindness.
How could they not respect him?
"So many beauties..."
"My god, they’re so gorgeous. This time I definitely have to score one."
"I’m going to get the contact info of all the beauties..."
The three goofballs were wildly excited, looking left and right, thrilled to the extreme.
In their eyes, scorching Light was also blazing.
Their status was no longer what it used to be; now they were Taiqing Sect Disciples, so picking up girls was of course much easier.
"Why are you guys so interested in beauties? To me it’s just one nose, two eyes, nothing special?"
Foolish lad Yang Xiong said with a puzzled face.
"When your hair grows out, you’ll know how adorable beauties are."
Zhang Haijun said with a wicked grin.
"My hair has grown out, okay? And it’s really black."
Yang Xiong touched his thick black hair and said doubtfully.
"Pfft..."
In an instant, everyone from Daoyi Sect burst out laughing.
The three goofballs also all cackled strangely.
Very soon, they found a very spacious area and sat down.
Of course, there were a few beauties in this spot as well, exceptionally stunning.
They were extremely excited, passionately brewing tea and taking the initiative to deliver it to Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin very much enjoyed this kind of treatment.
A brilliant smile appeared on his face.
However, he still hadn’t seen a true peerless beauty, so he didn’t feel moved by any of them.
The three goofballs were thick‑skinned and immediately got busy, running around asking beauties for their contact info.
In just a moment, they had collected hundreds of cards.
Each of them was immensely pleased with themselves.
These cards were no ordinary things; they were specially made. On them was not only a beauty’s photo, but also her nationality, height, weight, measurements, and whether she was "original stock."
With these cards, you could pick out the beauties you liked.
And asking them out would of course be very convenient.
"This time is awesome, totally awesome."
The three goofballs wore wicked grins.
The auction hadn’t started yet, so the place was noisy; weird laughter, the coquettish giggles of beauties, greetings—it was an unending din.
Some people had even already taken out Treasures to go register them in that special room to be auctioned later.
So it was truly a constant stream of people, coming and going.
"Dawei, are all our Daoyi Sect’s Treasures registered?"
Zhang Bin asked.
"They’ve long been registered." Zhao Dawei said with a beaming smile. "Our Taiqing Sect’s Treasures are registered as well."
Zhang Bin now clearly understood that the Hero Auction was actually a platform for the various Sects that had obtained Remote Antiquity inheritances to exchange Treasures.
After all, no Sect could possibly cultivate all the Heavenly Earth Elixirs; they could only grow a portion of them.
So to refine a certain Elixir, they had to get the medicinal ingredients they lacked through such a method.
And these Sects mostly had histories spanning several thousand years, even tens of thousands of years.
For example, there were several Sects founded by ape-like humanoids who had obtained an Ancient Times inheritance; they cultivated and became powerful, and their wisdom awakened.
Passed down to this day, they had truly existed for tens of thousands of years, or even over a hundred thousand years.
There were even ape-like humanoids who had cultivated for several hundred thousand years.
They were powerful to a terrifying degree.
Sects like these had of course cultivated many Heavenly Earth Elixirs.
Every year they would attend the Hero Auction to exchange for the Spiritual Medicine their Sect needed.
Of course, there were also some Ancient Martial Families with very long histories that had likewise cultivated many Heavenly Earth Elixirs.
Besides Heavenly Earth Elixirs, there were also numerous Magical Treasures, and some special Remote Antiquity artifacts or Treasures.
At the Hero Auction, one could often obtain some very precious Treasures.
No Sect would ever miss it.
For example, Kunlun had previously bought a piece of Star Stele at the Hero Auction.
"Zhang Bin, my brother, I missed you so much."
Suddenly an excited Voice rang out; it was Yun Feiyang, arm around a beauty, sauntering over.
He rushed over and gave Zhang Bin a bear hug.
"Feiyang, where’s my wife? She didn’t come?"
Zhang Bin asked.
"Your wife? Who?"
Yun Feiyang said in astonishment.
"Of course your younger sister Yun Xiaolan. I’ve already sent the betrothal gifts."
Zhang Bin said.
"What? You’ve already sent the betrothal gifts? How come I don’t know about it?"
Yun Feiyang jumped up. "You’re not joking, are you? That’s not something you can joke about."
"Damn... Kunlun Elder didn’t mention this?"
Zhang Bin was stunned.
"Grandmaster went into seclusion. He only said we had to guard against you chasing Xiaolan, and that it was best not to let Xiaolan see you. When did he ever mention any betrothal gifts?"
Yun Feiyang’s face was filled with a weird expression.
Obviously, he knew that his grandmaster Kunlun Elder had scammed Zhang Bin.
And since he was on good terms with Zhang Bin, he told him the truth.
So Zhang Bin wouldn’t keep indulging in wild fantasies; even though Xiaolan was beautiful, there was no way he could get her.
"That old man is really black‑bellied, actually trying to scheme against me? Too naive! Heh heh heh... Since he accepted my betrothal gifts, Xiaolan is my Zhang Bin’s woman!"
Zhang Bin muttered in his heart, an evil smile appearing on his face.
"Big Brother, look quick, that woman is so beautiful..."
Suddenly, Ma Rufei let out an incomparably shocked cry.
