Speaking of the Bāshān Daoist sect, perhaps they are the most mysterious among the Mojin Xiaowei.
And the Mojin Xiaowei are further divided into four major sects.
The Mojin sect, the Bāshān sect, the Xièlíng sect, and the Fāqiū sect.
These four are also known as: Mojin Xiaowei, Bāshān Daoists, Xièlíng Warriors, and Fāqiū Generals.
Among these four sects, Zhang Tian has always been most interested in, and also found most mysterious, the Bāshān Daoists.
The other sects were either generals or warriors, while these were Daoists, skilled in Daoist arts.
"Boss, I have a feeling he's from the Bāshān Daoist sect."
Suddenly, Hu Bayi whispered into Zhang Tian's ear.
Zhang Tian nodded and looked at the Daoist.
"Do you know any of the Bāshān Daoists' techniques? He just used one on me."
Zhang Tian whispered into Hu Bayi's ear.
Hu Bayi's expression instantly turned serious.
"Boss, are you alright?"
Seeing Zhang Tian shake his head, Hu Bayi continued.
"I'm actually not very familiar with the people of the Bāshān sect, but according to rumors, their techniques are numerous and very peculiar."
"The most famous is their unique creation, the Bāshān Fēngjiǎ technique, which includes Bāshān Tiānhǎi and Bāshān Fēngjiǎ. It's very powerful, and they also have a formation."
"The Tiānguān Fúshī formation can make even the most powerful zombies difficult to deal with."
Hu Bayi's expression was solemn.
So, they really were Daoists.
And the kind that possessed formations and their own organizations.
Zhang Tian took a breath. It seemed he had unknowingly provoked this entity.
However, Zhang Tian wasn't afraid. He could feel the other party's aura, which was likely only slightly superior to his own.
If you add Zhang Qilin, the mobile cheat, and himself, defeating him would be relatively simple.
Techniques were useless against Zhang Qilin, which greatly increased their chances of victory.
"I offer five million to assist wholeheartedly."
Suddenly, a voice came from below.
A guest smiled. This was an opportunity.
To have the Celestial Master help them was more valuable than gold.
After the guest spoke, several other bosses below began to stir.
Five million. If they wanted this help, they would have to spend more.
But for just one instance of help, several million, or even tens of millions, even they would have to consider if it was worth it.
"I bid ten million."
Suddenly, a foreigner spoke. After he spoke, there was a silence in the hall. A foreigner spending ten million for one instance of help, what was he doing?
But before everyone could ponder further, the Bāshān Daoist spoke.
"Thank you, my friend. In that case, I offer thirty-three million!"
The Bāshān Daoist spoke directly, his voice calm. It was clear he was close to victory.
He also intended to accept the foreigner's ten million.
Zhang Tian gnashed his teeth in anger.
Working for a foreigner, why don't you just die?
No dignity at all. Stand up, don't kneel!
To be bought off with ten million, Zhang Tian felt it was a disgrace to the Bāshān sect.
"Since I've already offended them, I won't care anymore."
"I have something to auction."
Zhang Tian's voice was not loud, and only Fatty, Hu Bayi, and a few others around him could hear.
As Zhang Tian finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant.
Immediately, two gazes fell upon Zhang Tian.
One of the gazes kept scanning the jade pendant.
"This jade is called the 'Child-Praying Jade Pendant'. Praying a thousand times can lead to offspring, but there is only one chance."
Zhang Tian explained. The gaze quietly disappeared.
"Is this jade pendant not good enough?"
Zhang Tian frowned slightly at this.
Logically speaking, this jade pendant was far more useful than a "Dao-conveying jade pendant" and more precious than anything else before.
There was no reason for no one to want it.
As Zhang Tian pondered, the girl in the blue and white porcelain qipao walked up.
She said a few words to the host, whose expression turned serious, and he nodded.
"My sincerest apologies, the auction for this peach wood sword will be temporarily postponed. Our auction house will be adding a divine artifact!"
At this, the entire hall erupted in an uproar.
Why would a divine artifact be added at this particular moment? Was it to stall for time for Young Master Zhang?
To allow Young Master Zhang to raise money?
"The auction house is truly clever. Using other divine artifacts to pause this round first, and then when Young Master Zhang has enough money, he can fight again!"
"That's right, thirty million. It seems that's not the limit for the peach wood sword. I personally don't want the Celestial Master to help the foreigner."
"Young Master Zhang is awesome, daring to oppose the Celestial Master on his own. It remains to be seen if there will be a Young Master Zhang family in the future."
Below, some people were whispering amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian's jade pendant was taken away by a small rat.
This rat was likely a pet uniquely raised by the Xīnyuè Restaurant.
Not only could it transmit information, but it could also silently deliver items for auction.
The Daoist's face was a little grim.
A slight bad premonition arose in his heart.
Could this newly added round be the work of that brat?
Or did the organizers want to extort more money?
Regardless of the reason, it made him angry.
The rules did not state that temporary additions were allowed, which was a violation of the rules.
Yet, he did not realize that he had also violated the rules earlier. If not for the Xīnyuè Restaurant aiming for maximum profit, he would have been kicked out long ago.
As everyone was in doubt, the beauty in the blue and white porcelain qipao, with her delicate steps, walked onto the stage.
She had a smile on her face and offered a greeting.
"The divine artifact temporarily added this time is the Child-Praying Jade Pendant! According to the auction owner, praying a thousand times will result in offspring."
"This jade pendant can be used once."
"Also, the Xīnyuè Restaurant will take ten percent of the final auction funds. Please take note."
After the girl finished speaking, she left the jade pendant on the stage and quietly departed.
"The Child-Praying Jade Pendant, which can produce offspring, is the best item for continuing the family line. I believe no one would want to miss it."
"Starting bid, twenty million! Each subsequent bid must be no less than one million."
The qipao beauty spoke excitedly. This item was much more important than the previous ones. Who wanted to be childless? Almost no one was willing, so this jade pendant played a significant role.
At this moment, the matter of the jade pendant also attracted the attention of the two private rooms above.
"It's the Child-Praying Jade Pendant! Excellent, we must acquire it."
A middle-aged man was startled. He clenched his fist.
He was a world-class tycoon, but his family had always lacked heirs.
He had tried countless folk remedies and consulted numerous masters, all to no avail. By chance, he heard about the Child-Praying Jade Pendant.
However, such jade pendants had long been lost, let alone finding one. He never expected to find it here, which made him somewhat excited.
At this moment, in another private room, an old man suddenly stood up.
"It's the Child-Praying Jade Pendant!"
He suffered from a congenital illness that was basically incurable. If this could grant him offspring, it would be priceless!
"Twenty-five million."
As the qipao beauty had just finished speaking, a voice came from below the stage.
It was an old man who bid.
"Twenty-seven million."
At this moment, a voice came from a private room.
"Thirty million!"
Suddenly, the old man below the stage spoke again, but after bidding, his face looked displeased, as this was his limit.
"Thirty-three million."
Almost simultaneously, the person in the private room called out.
Clearly, to those who had no use for it, this item was trash.
But to those powerful families lacking successors, it was a divine artifact.
"Holy cow, boss, this thing is worth this much? It's insane."
Fatty was completely excited.
No wonder the boss only wanted this back then. He had predicted this outcome long ago.
He had known all along that the jade pendant would achieve its maximum value here.
Hu Bayi was also somewhat impressed. If it were them, they might have sold it to Da Jinya.
They could never have achieved this kind of scene.
