Chapter 1570: Chapter 92 Rich and Prosperous! Treasure Tree Promoted

…

The Land of True Method Inheritance for the “Xuanhuang” lineage—when you get down to it—is just an ordinary earth-based bloodline inheritance, hardly anything rare.

If it were truly one of those explosively powerful True Methods, the Wei Family would be hoarding it for themselves, not putting it up for auction.

Such a magical power inheritance is likely worth at most fifty million Immortal Crystals. Any bids above that wouldn’t be cost-effective.

For a moment, the representatives from various Prominent Families, who were keen on acquiring the Xuanhuang True Method, hesitated.

Amid the hesitation, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from one of the private boxes—it was the King of the North: “Thank you all for showing face to me, the King of the North.”

The King of the North had gone from opposing Wang Fugui to now treating him like a treasured asset. Naturally, he wanted to lend Wang Fugui a helping hand.

“King of the North,” the True Monarch Sanbao, who was presiding over the auction, cast a glance toward the box. His elegant, refined face showed a trace of displeasure. “Do not disrupt the rules of my auction, or don’t blame me for ejecting you from the venue.”

“Haha, you’re too serious, True Monarch. It won’t happen again—it won’t happen again,” the King of the North replied, laughing heartily.

With the King of the North intervening, most representatives of Prominent Families who were hesitating decisively gave up on bidding further. First, forcing a bid wasn’t worth the cost-effectiveness, and second, offending the King of the North to acquire a True Method wasn’t worth it either.

Without much suspense, Wang Fugui successfully acquired the Land of True Method Inheritance for the Xuanhuang lineage.

Soon after, the second Land of Inheritance went up for auction.

This one was a Land of True Method Inheritance for the “Xuan Yuan” lineage. From the projection released by the Duobao Pavilion, its exterior resembled a pagoda, somewhat similar in appearance to the Wang Family’s Nine-level Mysterious Origin Tower.

The starting bid for this item was set at forty million Immortal Crystals.

This time, Wang Fugui secured the land with a high bid of fifty-two million Immortal Crystals.

Wang Fugui was even more pleased with this Land of True Method Inheritance.

The Wang Family primarily cultivated the “Xuan Yuan” branch of mysterious techniques. While this cultivation method didn’t particularly excel in any specific area, its greatest strength lay in its extreme compatibility. It had no obvious shortcomings, and the deeper one cultivated it, the purer and thicker the Mysterious Energy would become.

“The Xuan Yuan True Method was designed as a universal cultivation technique during the Divine Martial Era. His Majesty the Saint Emperor had commissioned experts to devise it for spreading cultivation practices. It reportedly took thousands of years to perfect,” explained the King of Zhennan to Wang Fugui warmly. “Back then, numerous cultivators—both civilian and military—practiced the Xuan Yuan Gong Method. Even now, when exploring ancient ruins, we can often uncover lands of Xuan Yuan True Method Inheritance and, occasionally, even the *Mysterious Origin Codex*. Take the Jingan Wei Family, for instance; they have two Xuan Yuan True Method inheritance sites, which is why they’ve put one up for auction.”

“Your main branch, the Han Yue Wang Family, only has one Codex—the *Mysterious Origin Codex.* Across the Frost Moon Immortal Dynasty as a whole, there are only four such codices passed down. Our Yun Family also has one.”

With Wang Fugui securing the second Land of True Method Inheritance, the third land, *Red Fire Heavenly Pond,* proceeded to auction.

This, too, was an ordinary fire-based magical power inheritance and lacked any particularly unique features.

However, such common inheritance sites had broader applicability and were relatively easier to sell. Unlike those niche lands with stringent inheritance conditions, which, while capable of creating more formidable cultivators, faced challenges in attracting bidders.

Wang Fugui calmly raised the price all the way to fifty-three million Immortal Crystals, successfully securing *Red Fire Heavenly Pond* yet again.

By this point, Wang Fugui had acquired a total of twelve Divine Spiritual Treasures alongside three magical power inheritance sites, at the cost of a staggering two hundred and five million Immortal Crystals.

Among this amount, one hundred and fifty million was “blown in by the wind,” while the remaining fifty-five million Immortal Crystals were temporarily fronted by the Black Armor Division of the Immortal Soldier Department, to be offset against payments for new-generation battle armor.

In this way, the auction held by the Duobao Pavilion seemed to have turned into Wang Fugui’s one-man show.

For appearances’ sake, the True Monarch Sanbao had no choice but to dig into the Duobao Pavilion’s reserves to put up some premium items for auction, lest the attending big shots leave dissatisfied and harbor grievances afterward.

As for these subsequent auction items, Wang Fugui chose not to participate further.

For one, the money had been spent, and for another, if he continued bidding, True Monarch Sanbao might actually storm over and beat him up. Better to show the old man some respect~

Meanwhile, the Jingan Wei Family, leveraging the funds recouped from the auction, managed to recover some financial stability but were still far from resolving their debts. They would need to sell off fixed assets like estates, manors, and less profitable businesses in the coming days to gradually make up their shortfalls.

The Wei Family, fortunate to be a millennia-old Prominent Family with deep roots, could just barely weather the storm, but irreparable damage had been done. Over the next few centuries, perhaps even millennia, it would be an uphill struggle for the Wei Family to truly bounce back.

Of course, this had little to do with Wang Fugui. The Wei Family had already learned its lesson this time and would likely keep their heads low in the near future.

After the auction concluded,

Wang Fugui returned to the Spiritual Bamboo Garden within the King of the North’s Mansion.

By now, Yun Mengyu treated Wang Fugui with absolute reverence, circling around him all day like a devoted admirer. Were it not for the King of the North assigning maids to watch over her, she might have already moved into the Spiritual Bamboo Garden.

“Mengyu, this Divine Spiritual Treasure *Butterfly Dance* specializes in agility; take it and have some fun.” Wang Fugui, sorting through the twelve Divine Spiritual Treasures he won at auction, picked out a particularly stunning one and gifted it to Yun Mengyu.

The treasure was a beautiful Willow Leaf Knife with an intricately hollowed handle, exuding an air of lightness. Its blade shimmered with butterfly-wing-like patterns, breathtakingly exquisite.
