At this moment, a wave of mana was felt in the void, accompanied by a melody. That was the call made from the mana in the void, which was abstruse enough to break through the barrier of the box.
Every box might be visible from both within and outside, but it was actually enclosed in a layer of invisible air shield. If one wanted to communicate, they would need to project Xuan voice through the shield, to avoid any noisiness that would embarrass them as immortals.
Out of the void, appeared a pretty looking lady dressed in pale yellow garment. A jade couch gradually appeared on the edge of the pond. The lady took a step in the void, landed on the couch as her whole body was encircled in light; mesmerizing.
Finally, the surrounding boxes started to flow slowly, and as if taking the jade couch the lady was on as the node, they split into two rows and stopped.
Jingting Tongzi who was standing on the right edge smirked and spoke,
My Master thank everyone for coming. In this Treasure Auction, three treasures were sold in our celestial market, and the remaining ones are left here at Master’s place by a friend for sale. Of course, my Master’s treasures only accept bids of Yiyuan Elixir, whereas other treasures will be bartered with another item. You only need to put your exchange item into the jade box in your boxes, which I could view using my secret techniques. If I agree with it, I will make the exchange without letting others know whether you have successfully made the trade.
At this moment, a coarse voice was heard from a black-robed senior man in the second box of the east,
What if Yiyuan Elixir is not enough?

Although they had exchanged some Yiyuan Elixir, the treasures here were all valuable, which was why it would be reasonable to bid with an astronomic price.
Jingting Tongzi held his fists respectfully, and smiled towards the black-robed Daoist,
Everyone here are influential characters. I will only need to record this in the books. When you come and collect your treasure, just take another instrument of the equal value and exchange with an equivalent amount of Yiyuan Elixir. We will not put you at a disadvantage.

Now everyone would have known that those treasures that were sold in the celestial market were all aimed to promote its equivalent currency. Those with reliable sources would also know that these items were not too valuable.
Everyone merely considered doing Xuantong Demon Queen a favor, helping her to promote Yiyuan Elixir. These Yiyuan Elixirs were also of high quality, which could be in good use outdoors or as gifts to seniors, much more convenient and better than any Dao talisman or mystical instruments which were more precious and harder to give away.
Yiyuan Elixirs came in large numbers, suitable to be gifted to seniors without hurting one’s pockets.
A brief moment later, no one else spoke. Jingting Tongzi saw that time was up, and said,
Now our celestial market will initiate the process first. If anyone would like to sell their treasures, you may notify me privately.
As soon as he finished, he never hesitated to wait for their replies. A certain degree of courtesy was sufficient since the folks here knew what they are doing and would not be moved by words.
Jingting Tongzi pointed his finger out, and a sword aura pierced out of the water surface, followed by surfacing lotus flower. The lotus was so captivating, its flower pod blossomed, showcasing a piece of treasure which was seen encased in glowing lights. The item within was shown to be a piece of pearl, so translucent that its shape was almost unrecognizable.
Xuantong Demon Queen finally voiced out,
This is the Water Repelling Pearl. Once in your mouth, you will be able to move in water of any depth as if you are on flat ground. Starting bid is ten thousand Elixirs. You may start bidding if you are interested
.
A chuckle was heard from another box,
Not sure if you have used this Water Repelling Pearl before, Xuantong? If you have, I must obtain this, no one can grab it from me.
Shen Lian looked over to see who would have the guts to tease Xuantong Demon Queen, plus he would not have thought that Xuantong Demon Queen was a female; thinking that she was him.
When demons materialize, they would be divided to Yin and Yang, also born with Daoist flesh, hence able to learn and cultivate human tricks and techniques. As long as they did not return to their original state, they would not be any different from the lady cultivators.
Only that, demon queens were rare, plus if they gained form, they would have powerful skills. Many other powerful male demons wanted to capture a demon lord as their companion but failed.
The scarcities of demon queens were also due to the natural laws of demons’ survival. Anyhow it was the survival of the fittest between these demons and beasts, much more brutal than humans. Normally a female demon beast would quickly stick to a strong demon lord or they’d risk not materializing.
The one who teased Xuantong Demon Queen was a man with yellow beard, armed with a fierce and pure green face, with a subtle scent of demon. He looked like he was a shape-shifted demon king.
Xuantong side eyed him, and replied coldly,
Qing Huanger, if you do not behave yourself, believe it or not, you will not be able to walk out of this market.

The demon king named Qing Huanger chuckled again,
I was just joking. Please don’t be angry.

Then he shouted his bid,
I offer twenty thousand Elixirs, anyone want to follow?

Seemed like many cultivators knew where this Qing Huanger came from, they never wanted to follow this bid. In fact, Shen Lian thought of something based on this name. The highest ranking of all demons would be called ‘Great Saint’ by the demons lot.
Demons who achieved Great Saint level were extremely rated, as if they were all strong characters from urban legends with the ability to create chaos. Eventually, these Great Saints left this place without exception, but leaving a bloodline, making them royal families of the demons.
As long as they grew up normally, they would materialize within a certain period. This bloodline had to be precious.
If according to his resources, this Qing Huanger was also from the Great Saints bloodline, and he became the demon king five hundred years ago, but still not at the level of Nine-Headed Demon King.
As no one counter bid, the Water Repelling Pearl then went to Qing Huanger. The atmosphere went cold.
Xuantong Demon Queen felt enraged inside that this fellow did not respect her. She will show him some pay-back later.
The next treasure emerged, not from the water pond, but was carried in a piece of cloud, levitating above the water surface. It was a guqin, a seven-stringed plucked musical instrument.
It had a round head with a narrow end. Its neck and waist portion arched within, whereas the face of the instrument was a slightly thin oval, whereas its neck and waist formed an ellipse. It covered in black, very rustic looking, with a broken pattern of cow’s hair, with a golden emblem in the middle. Round shaped like a dragon’s lake, oval like a phoenix’s swamp.
The face of the instrument was made out of Paulownia wood chips, faded in yellow, with straight and compact stripes. Red sandalwood, sophisticatedly made. Its lower portion was bending out, making a six flower petal shapes, all with yellow silk ribbon on it.
The upper portion of the instrument had four words engraved on it:
Heritage Tune of the Great Saint
. Both sides were also engraved in mantras,
The giant gully welcomes the autumn, where the moon’s reflection is imprinted on the cold river. All sounds were carefree, but the lonely parasol tree cracks
.
Xuantong Demon Queen lightly waved her hand, then a gush of strong breeze pierced through, falling on the instrument’s strings, followed by the emergence of multiple strong Qi, as they danced according to the sound of the instrument, finally descending to the pond, as if there were numerous blades falling from the heavens, cracking under water. What an amazing view.
