Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique!

The crowd’s gazes all converged on it. A Saint-Level Technique would be a treasured heirloom even for the Noble Families, and now that one was being auctioned, everyone’s heart was stirred.

The fervent gazes spoke volumes about what everyone was thinking.

Ye Wushuang watched as well, but his expression remained unchanged. Compared to his three Heaven-Defying Cultivation Techniques—the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique, the Ultimate Yang Technique, and the Ten Thousand Spirits Soul Refining Technique—a mere Saint-Level Technique was far too weak.

Cheng Xuan explained, ”The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique allows one to cultivate the Five Spirits Profound Heart Qi, a powerful form of True Qi. It is sufficient for Cultivation up to the Nirvana Nine Layers. If one has the opportunity for Mortal Ascension, it can even evolve into the Five Spirits Profound Heart Holy Spirit. It is an unparalleled cultivation technique.”

”Shopkeeper Cheng, you seem to have forgotten something. The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is a cultivation technique that skews female and is only suitable for women to practice. Moreover, the technique in your hands is merely an incomplete fragment.”

As soon as Cheng Xuan’s voice fell, an elegant voice rang out from a private room on the second floor.

”It’s the Taoo Hua Fairy!”

Upon hearing this voice, the men below became as excited as if they’d been shot with adrenaline, absolutely thrilled!

”So it’s the Taoo Hua Fairy from the Ten-Mile Peach Blossom Spring!”

Cheng Xuan looked toward the private room, showing no displeasure. Instead, he smiled and said, ”The Taoo Hua Fairy is correct. The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is indeed incomplete. However, it is precisely because it’s incomplete that we are auctioning it here.”

”What do you mean?”

Someone in the crowd asked, confused.

Cheng Xuan smiled. ”Since the Taoo Hua Fairy was able to tell at a glance that the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is incomplete, she must also be aware that the complete version is divided into five parts and constitutes a Supreme Sacred Secret.”

”Some of the seniors present might already know this. Above the Saint-Level Combat Skills that Cultivators practice, there are Unsurpassed Sacred Secrets—the Combat Skills used by Saint Sages. Similarly, above Saint-Level Techniques, there are even more powerful techniques: the Supreme Sacred Secrets!”

Hearing Cheng Xuan’s explanation, someone in the crowd asked, ”Shopkeeper Cheng, what’s the difference between an Unsurpassed Sacred Secret and a Supreme Sacred Secret?”

Cheng Xuan said, ”An Unsurpassed Sacred Secret is a single Combat Skill. A Supreme Sacred Secret is different. It is a fusion of a Saint Sage Martial Technique and a Saint Sage’s cultivation technique, forming a method capable of forging a Saint Sage Physique. The complete Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique can forge the Five Spirits Profound Heart Physique, which is a type of Extreme Yin Body and can evolve into the Five Spirit Profound Heart Saint Mother True Body.”

”I see!” The crowd now understood why it was being auctioned only because it was incomplete. If it were the complete Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique, who would be willing to sell it?

’Unsurpassed Sacred Secret?’

’A Supreme Sacred Secret?’

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed. He now understood that the World Destruction the Breaking Realm Demon Monarch had given him was an Unsurpassed Sacred Secret!

Nearby, Lan Xinyu was also staring intently, so focused that she forgot she was pouring wine. The cup had long since filled and was now overflowing, but she didn’t even notice.

Ye Wushuang turned to look at her, a glint in his eyes.

”Miss Lan!”

The Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc noticed as well and called out to Lan Xinyu.

At the sound of its voice, Lan Xinyu snapped back to her senses. Seeing the spilled wine, her pretty face changed, and she hurriedly tried to wipe it with her sleeve. ”Young Master, I’m sorry! I... I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Ye Wushuang said nothing, nor did he stop her. He simply turned his gaze back to the auction stage below.

”Although this Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique is only one of five parts, its value is immeasurable! However, at the seller’s request, the starting bid is five million, and each increment must be no less than one hundred thousand!”

Cheng Xuan shouted.

Five million. When this number was announced, the people on the ground floor, however much they desired it, were powerless to compete. They could only turn their eyes to the private rooms on the second floor.

A moment later, a voice rang out from the second floor, ”I bid five million, five hundred thousand!”

”Young Master Xie Qing is here too! Don’t tell me all ten Celestial Prides of the Dragon List have come!”

Hearing that voice, a tremor went through the crowd.

Ye Wushuang’s eyes narrowed as well. He scanned the private room with his Divine Sense, wondering, ’I wonder if Mo Wentian is here?’

With Young Master Xie Qing starting things off, the older generation also jumped in. After a flurry of bids, the price shot from five million to eight million!

”Eight million! Are there any other bids?” Cheng Xuan called out loudly.

”Eight million, two hundred thousand!”

It was Jing Hui.

”Eight million, five hundred thousand!”

Young Master Xie Qing spoke again, adding another five hundred thousand.

In his private room, Jing Hui’s brow furrowed. He asked coolly, ”Is Young Master Xie Qing determined to win this?”

”I intend to bid on this item for someone important to me. I hope Young Master Jing will do me the honor.” Young Master Xie Qing’s soft, sinister voice replied.

”Someone important? In that case, this young master will give you some face.” Jing Hui said indifferently. The Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique was valuable, but it was suited for female cultivation. For the current Jing Family, it wasn’t worth wasting Spirit Stones on, so he chose to give up.

”Eight million, five hundred thousand! Is there anyone else bidding?”

Cheng Xuan yelled.

The private rooms were silent for a moment before a calm voice called out, ”Nine million!”

That voice came from none other than Ye Wushuang.

Lan Xinyu stood beside Ye Wushuang, fidgeting and deeply regretting her earlier mistake.

However, when she heard Ye Wushuang’s voice, she suddenly looked up, surprised that he also intended to bid for the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique!

Hearing Ye Wushuang’s voice, a demonic, blood-red glint flashed in Young Master Xie Qing’s eyes. The Jade Fan in his hand snapped shut with a SWISH.

”I didn’t expect Young Master Ye to make a move. However, this cultivation technique is suited for women. Spending nine million on it seems rather useless for you, Young Master.”

Young Master Xie Qing said lightly, but his gaze was piercing.

”It is useless to me. But just because it has no use to me, does that mean I’m not allowed to bid on it?”

Ye Wushuang replied coolly.

Hearing this, the crowd’s eyes widened. ’What an arrogant guy!’ they thought. ’He’s not afraid of offending Young Master Xie Qing, a Celestial Pride of the Dragon List!’

In the other private rooms, the Dragon King, Jing Hui, and others also turned their attention to Ye Wushuang’s room.

’That peasant is truly a frog in a well. Offending a Celestial Pride... looks like I won’t have to do anything myself; he’s already a dead man.’

A cold, sinister smile appeared on Jing Kang’s face.

”If that’s how it is, then I bid nine million, five hundred thousand!”

Young Master Xie Qing called out again, his tone unreadable. Was he angry?

But everyone knew that since Ye Wushuang had so blatantly disrespected Young Master Xie Qing, things would not end well for him.

”Ten million!”

Ye Wushuang immediately followed up with his bid.

The moment ten million was called, gasps erupted from the crowd. It was the first time the price had reached such a heavenly sum.

Even the members of the older generation said nothing more, merely shaking their heads.

Young Master Xie Qing’s face turned grim. He remained silent for a long time.

”Ten million! Are there any higher bids!”

Cheng Xuan glanced at Ye Wushuang’s private room as he shouted.

No one spoke, all eyes on Young Master Xie Qing’s room.

After half a breath, Young Master Xie Qing suppressed his anger and sneered, ”This cultivation technique may have an extraordinary origin, but it is ultimately incomplete. This young master originally intended to purchase it for the woman I love most, in the hopes of growing old with her. However, since you are unwilling to accommodate me and have thrown out ten million, showing you are determined to have it, then this young master shall yield it to you.”

In the end, Young Master Xie Qing gave up.

However, his words sent a shockwave through the crowd. Young Master Xie Qing had been willing to spend nine and a half million, all for the woman he loved.

’The woman he loves... could it be the Baihua Fairy?’

The crowd couldn’t help but wonder.

”The Baihua Fairy is so lucky!”

Instantly, some of the women began to swoon. If Ye Wushuang hadn’t interfered, the story of Young Master Xie Qing and the Baihua Fairy would have become another romantic tale in the Holy City.

At this moment, many people began to resent Ye Wushuang, and some even started whispering insults about him.

”’The woman I love most’... Ridiculous!”

Ye Wushuang shook his head with a scornful laugh. ”If it were truly the woman you love most, you would throw caution to the wind, you would spare no expense. And yet you, who have more than ten million Spirit Stones on your person, don’t even have the courage to spend that much for a woman. Is this what you call your ’greatest love’?”

Ye Wushuang’s calm, questioning voice, tinged with sarcasm, echoed through the auction hall as he challenged Young Master Xie Qing.

There was nothing wrong with Young Master Xie Qing wanting to bid on the Five Spirits Profound Heart Technique; it was a fair competition.

But for him to act as if he were taking the moral high ground, framing Ye Wushuang as the one unwilling to be accommodating when he himself was simply unwilling to keep bidding—wasn’t that laughable!

Instantly, the whispering, scornful voices died down.

In his private room, Young Master Xie Qing’s expression was grim, but he had no retort. Spirit Stones... he had far more than ten million. He could have even thrown out tens of millions. But in the end, he hadn’t. So how could he speak of a ’greatest love’!
