Mei Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief as the dust settled in the arena.
It was good that this brat was sold to the Desire Sect; after being ravaged by those demonesses, her own foolish daughter probably wouldn't feel anything for him anymore.
Her pristine white boots lightly landed on the auction stage constructed of dark wood. Mei Yingxue, facing the gazes of countless cultivators in the arena, announced loudly:
"If there are no further bids, then this Luo Xian Body's cauldron will belong to Miao Yu, the true disciple of the Desire Sect!"
The onlookers below, who were spectating the event, turned their gazes towards the golden divine palace that was blocked in the sky. However, seeing that the Crown Prince of Great Zhen had no intention of showing his face, everyone could only fail at their attempt to witness the spectacle.
Mei Yingxue looked at these reckless cultivators on the path to immortality. Her lips twitched slightly. If she hadn't been present, given Crown Prince Yin's personality, not a single one of these people would have survived!
The excitement of ascending to immortality, was that something you could just watch?
Shaking her head inwardly, Mei Yingxue also wanted to end this farce quickly. With a wave of her delicate hand, the celestial crystals that Miao Yu had been flaunting in the sky were collected by Mei Yingxue into her palm.
Also retrieved were the illusory golden cage forged from Dharma Gold and the spiritual crystal jade bed within the cage.
"This foolish daughter, giving away all the good things!"
While inwardly complaining about her daughter's extravagance, Mei Yingxue also felt a sense of weariness.
Her daughter was growing up, and she was becoming harder to manage.
However, upon thinking of this, a sense of curiosity suddenly arose in Mei Yingxue's heart.
What exactly did this brat look like to have captivated her foolish child so much?
At this moment, as the illusory golden cage that had obscured Chen Luo's image was removed, Chen Luo was finally freed from his restraints. He leisurely stood before the gazes of thousands of cultivators.
Although the spiritual energy fluctuations around him were only at the level of a beginner in the third stage of the Dao Path, at this moment, more than one person felt as if they were being looked down upon.
"That cage earlier made it impossible for me to see anything. Is this the so-called Luo Xian Body?"
"This brat is actually wearing a mask, huh? Heh heh, hiding his face, could he be an ugly monster!"
"Speak less if you're ignorant! Within the Nine Heavens and Nine Earths, the higher one's talent, the more beautiful their appearance; it's a symbol of heavenly favor!"
"Then why is he covering his face? He's not some young lady; would he lose flesh if people looked at him a couple of times?!"
Because of that inexplicable feeling of being looked down upon, many cultivators now wanted to vent their strange emotions with malicious words.
Chen Luo listened to the discussions from below, and with some helplessness, he touched his chin.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll go crazy?"
"Of everything on me, this mask was the most expensive when I redeemed it. A mask that forcibly reduces my appearance by ninety percent. The power of the Great Source combined with the system is truly magical."
"Hmm? What is this big sister trying to do?"
In Chen Luo's true sight, a spiritual energy fluctuation, shimmering with seven colors, extended from the beautiful big sister behind him.
Its target was his mask?
As Chen Luo hesitated, in the next moment, his mask vanished.
Mei Yingxue clenched the mask in her hand and thought, "It's a very ordinary mortal item. It's just that the weaving technique is something I've never seen before. Perhaps it's a product of some remote small country."
"Now then, let me see what you look like, you pretty boy, to have captivated my daughter so much!"
But Mei Yingxue suddenly realized something was wrong. Why had the arena suddenly gone quiet?!
When Mei Yingxue shifted her gaze from the mask in her hand, she saw the audience below with their eyes wide open, staring intently at the spiritual energy screens surrounding the auction stage.
Not a single person was making a sound!
When Mei Yingxue followed everyone's gaze to the spiritual energy screen, her heart also trembled.
Magnificent bearing!
Unparalleled celestial beauty!
Words could hardly describe the demeanor of the young man before them. Everyone who saw him, at this moment, had their thoughts almost frozen, leaving only admiration for pure beauty!
This was not any inferior charm technique, but the instinctive yearning of all life for beautiful existence!
As the person with the highest cultivation in the arena, a mighty figure of ascension already condensing their Dharma body, Mei Yingxue had already passed through four celestial tribulations.
In her thousands of years of life experience, she had traveled across this primeval land and witnessed all the myriad states of human existence.
She had originally thought that her immortal heart would only beat for the immortal path and for her daughter.
But at this moment, looking at the young man with a somewhat helpless expression, Mei Yingxue was momentarily speechless.
In the inexplicable silence of the arena, Chen Luo turned around with helplessness, walked to the side of this big sister, dressed in pure white yet exuding an ethereal aura, and casually took the mask from her hand.
Then, with a slightly reproachful look at this big sister, he said earnestly:
"This is mine. If you want to take it, you have to discuss it with me first."
Mei Yingxue nodded dazedly, her internal immortal power circulation momentarily becoming somewhat sluggish.
And as her immortal power developed a loophole, someone who was confined in a pavilion, unable to speak but only to see, the Palace Lord, could finally act!
The Palace Lord, at the peak of the Dao Path, Gong Xiaoyan, took advantage of her mother's daze to launch a full-force attack on the restriction set by Mei Yingxue, but could only manage to blast open a tiny gap.
Clad in a red robe, and even more mature and beautiful than her mother in appearance, Gong Xiaoyan, in despair, shouted anxiously:
"Don't look! None of you look! Luo Xian! My Luo Xian!!!"
In the silent auction hall, the Palace Lord's cry seemed to press a button, and everyone snapped out of their stupor!
The people looked at Chen Luo, who had put on his mask again, and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Unparalleled celestial beauty! I feel like I'm seeing the embodiment of the Dao!! This Luo Xian Body is indeed a peerless cauldron!!!"
"Ahhh, I'm so envious!! Why! Why must such a beautiful man be defiled by the demonesses of the Desire Sect!!!"
"Wh-what should I do?! I'm a man, and I feel like I can't forget what I just saw!!"
"Brother, look on the bright side, we're all the same! I only regret not being a woman, not being able to have children for him!!"
"Ah, no! I can't watch him fall into the demon lair of the Desire Sect! Luo Xian! I must save you!!!"
After putting on his mask again, Chen Luo looked at the group of lunatics below going crazy with a headache.
Good heavens, you are truly devoted to your desires!
Don't let desire break through your reason, you scoundrels!
Never mind, it's not like this is some charm technique. They can't see me, and they'll gradually return to normal later. Probably.
And it wasn't just the cultivators below on the Dao Path who were shocked by Chen Luo's appearance; the seven great powers in the sky had also recovered from their shock.
Qi Sha, striking his halberd heavily on the ground, said with some lingering fear:
"Good heavens, I actually felt that fighting and killing was meaningless just now and wanted to live in seclusion in the countryside with this man?! What kind of monster is this! No, why am I scolding him! No! Why am I still thinking about him!!"
And in the Bone Skeleton Evil Temple, the Bone Skeleton Monk, for the first time, had no hypocritical benevolent smile on his face.
The smiling monk, who originally resembled Maitreya Buddha, had transformed into a cold-faced demonic monk:
"It's not a charm technique, there are no Dao fluctuations! This person's appearance is almost like the natural formation of Dao rhythm. Anyone who sees it will be hard to resist its allure!"
