"But it's not that easy. If only I could help you!" Wang Xiaoyan said with a worried expression.
Chen Jie was stunned for a moment.
He inwardly thought that Wang Xiaoyan might indeed be able to help him.
If she could activate their marriage contract with him, perhaps he could break through to that level of martial arts realm.
And then Wang Xiaoyan would also transform, becoming a martial arts master.
Chen Jie shook his head, suppressing the thoughts in his heart.
He didn't want to rely on a woman to improve his strength.
"It's fine. We'll deal with whatever comes. The Gu family can't do anything to me," Chen Jie said.
With his Foundation Establishment realm strength, he was already beyond the secular world. If he truly unleashed his full power, let alone Wen Qiang, even Gu Bao could be defeated by him in one move.
Moreover, Chen Jie had the Treasure Tree to continuously supply him with spiritual energy?
Even in a battle of attrition, Chen Jie was confident he could handle it.
Chen Jie immediately contacted Xiao Ding again.
"Master Chen, that was too close just now. People from the provincial capital originally intended to kill me directly, but I mentioned your name, and only then were they willing to let me go!"
Xiao Ding had just escaped danger and was about to contact Chen Jie.
He felt a lingering fear.
He thought to himself that he and Chen Jie were truly no longer on the same level.
His enemies were far beyond what he could compare to.
In such a situation, he was merely a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"It's fine. I've already reached an agreement with them. You can participate in the auction of ancient cultivation methods," Chen Jie said.
"What? Master Chen, I really can?" Xiao Ding asked, still feeling scared.
"Don't worry, you can start preparing," Chen Jie said.
"Okay! Then I'll go all out for this! Chen Da Liang, reserve a house for me at Peace Mountain Villa!"
"Alright!"
Chen Jie immediately reserved Villa Number Eight.
This way, only two villas were left at Peace Mountain Villa.
"With this promotion, the two items you need will definitely be found. However, you might have to buy them at the auction," Xiao Ding told Chen Jie.
"It's fine, money is not an issue."
Chen Jie said.
"Then I'll go arrange it now."
Xiao Ding immediately instructed his assistant to contact major influential families and leak information about the auction of ancient cultivation methods.
At the same time, Xiao Ding also had people release a call for item collection, to gather materials for Chen Jie to refine storage rings.
As soon as the news was released, it caused a sensation.
This was an ancient cultivation method! A technique that could elevate an ordinary person to the Xiantian realm in a short period.
And its potential was boundless.
Whoever obtained it could easily rise from an unknown small family to a top-tier family in the future!
For a time, everyone who knew this news went mad, willing to break their heads to participate in this auction.
Some wealthy individuals immediately decided to acquire the ancient cultivation method even if it meant ruin.
However, these wealthy individuals soon discovered that to participate in the auction, they needed to stay at Peace Mountain Villa.
And Peace Mountain Villa currently only had high-rise residences left, which were outrageously priced, costing one million yuan per night!
"Damn it, what kind of housing is this expensive? A million a night to stay? This is no different from robbery!" In a villa in the provincial capital, a wealthy man cursed through gritted teeth.
"But the more expensive the housing, the more important this auction is, after all, the villas for the auction cost three million a day!"
The wealthy man gritted his teeth and endured it.
There were many similar situations.
In just one day, Peace Mountain Villa gained over a hundred residents.
Relying on this auction, it raked in over a hundred million in a single day.
Finally, the auction slots were set at a total of 150.
However, to Xiao Ding's surprise, the ancient cultivation method caused a sensation the day after it was advertised.
People constantly inquired about entry tickets.
Some were even willing to pay exorbitant prices to purchase them.
This led to the emergence of scalpers at the auction.
The remaining two villas had already been reserved, and those who were the first to obtain multiple entry tickets began selling them at a premium.
Suddenly, the price of entry tickets for the Peace Mountain Villa auction soared to one hundred million.
"If I had known it would be this popular, I would have sold them myself!"
Upon hearing this situation, Xiao Ding was so annoyed that he slapped his thighs.
He also realized that this auction was no trivial matter, and that the ancient cultivation method was even more important than he had imagined.
Among them, the Gu family was the most distressed.
With over a hundred people competing against them simultaneously, even the powerful Gu family felt some pressure.
What if a mysterious tycoon appeared out of nowhere and drove the price to an astronomical figure? Wouldn't the Gu family have to bleed heavily?
Gu Bao said to Gu Yue with a cold expression, "No matter the cost, we must win it!"
"Anyone who dares to bid maliciously and drive up the price will pay the price afterward!" Gu Bao declared.
Gu Yue's expression also became serious, "I have the same idea. I will immediately mobilize some experts from the family to guard against any unforeseen circumstances!"
"This is outrageous! The Gu family's ancient cultivation method is being openly auctioned. This Chen Jie is truly audacious to take on such a task!"
In Villa Number Seven, Yu Zhongfu exclaimed, slapping his thighs.
He observed the celestial phenomena and felt that Peace Mountain Villa would likely face a catastrophe in the near future.
"Youngsters are indeed arrogant!"
Yu Feng said, "Dad, don't you look at who he is? He even dared to trick the ancestors of our Qingcheng Sect, so why would he put the Gu family in his eyes?"
They also knew something about the Gu family.
Their strength was comparable to their Qingcheng Sect.
However, they were a Daoist sect. No matter how powerful the Gu family was, they couldn't compare to them.
"This time, we'll also get involved! The Gu family's ancient cultivation method is also useful to our Qingcheng Sect! It would be best if we could obtain it," Yu Zhongfu decided immediately.
Yu Feng said, "Dad, but we don't have that much money!"
Yu Zhongfu sneered, "Money? To us, strength is money! We, as dignified cultivators, talk about money? Treasures belong to those who are virtuous. We'll see whose fists are harder then!"
Yu Feng seemed to understand and not understand.
Xiao Ding spent two days arranging the venue.
Soon, Villa Number Eight was transformed into an auction site.
The villa was grand and could easily accommodate two hundred people.
"Jiang Xue, have your people spread out throughout Peace Mountain Villa to maintain order!"
Outside the perimeter of Peace Mountain Villa, several commercial vehicles were parked.
Wang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xue emerged from the lead vehicle.
Following their appearance, a group of well-trained martial artists appeared from behind.
This was arranged by Wang Xiaoyan and Jiang Xue. The auction was attended by too many influential figures.
Even the Martial Arts Association would feel some pressure in such a situation.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoyan specifically discussed with Jiang Xue, asking for most of Jiang Xue's security personnel to come and maintain public order.
As soon as the two appeared, they drew the attention of everyone present.
Their demeanor was so exceptional that people couldn't take their eyes off them. Any other woman would feel self-conscious in their presence.
