My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

On the morrow, at dawn's break.

As the sky was faintly lit and the purple qi approached from the east, countless cultivators outside Tianqi City soared eastward, absorbing that thread of purple qi for cultivation.

Among these cultivators, the majority were wanderers.

They had all come for today's auction, yet were unwilling to spend spirit stones to stay within Tianqi City, thus they could only establish temporary caves outside the city.

Among them, many wanderers had come for the three disciple slots of the Star Picking Pavilion, including a master and disciple pair preparing to enter the city.

"Master, are we really going to bid for that disciple slot?"

"I have already reached the initial stage of the King Realm. I feel entirely capable of participating in the selection of disciples for the Divine Grace Sect. There's no need to waste spirit stones bidding for a slot in the Star Picking Pavilion."

"Disciple, you lack worldly experience and do not understand the intricacies involved... For wanderers to enter the Immortal Sect based solely on their skills is highly unlikely. You must realize that wanderers are the most inconspicuous existence in the Immortal Realm, the lowest among all beings in this vast cosmos, excluding mere mortals!"

"Moreover, the Divine Grace Sect isn't exactly a reputable sect. Master, back in the day... sigh, let's not dwell on it."

Both master and disciple were dressed in green robes.

The master had a head full of white hair, while the disciple appeared to be in his early twenties.

Achieving such cultivation at such a young age placed him in the upper echelons of the Immortal Realm.

"Is the Divine Grace Sect really that bad?"

Upon hearing the master's assessment of the Divine Grace Sect, the disciple felt somewhat unwilling; he believed he still had a chance.

The key point was he didn't want the master to waste so much money, money that the master had toiled for most of his life to accumulate...

The master shook his head helplessly, preparing to explain the benefits of entering the Star Picking Pavilion once more.

At that moment,

A massive flying ship arrived at the gates of Tianqi City, and a terrifying surge of spiritual energy directly knocked the master and disciple to the ground.

Among the two, the elder spewed a mouthful of blood from the impact of the spiritual energy surge.

"Master! Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, let's hurry into the city."

"No, I need to go and demand justice from them!" The disciple glared at the approaching flying ship.

"Come back!"

In the end, it was the master who restrained the disciple.

As the flying ship touched down, the two hurriedly entered the city.

"Divine Grace Sect, the arrival of King Yunlu of the Yunlu Immortal! Make way for the nobility!"

A clear voice echoed from the flying ship, followed by figures flying out of it.

Among them were dozens of beautiful maidens, holding flower baskets and scattering petals.

Amidst the picturesque scene of falling petals, a handsome and charming man rode a deer.

"King Yunlu of the Divine Grace Sect is here too, what ill luck! With Divine Grace Sect's presence, we might not even get a glimpse of the good items at this auction."

"Divine Grace Sect is the most powerful force around Tianqi City, and their actions are the most domineering. It's outrageous that they've brought their flying ship to the city gates."

"Indeed, I just saw someone spitting blood after being shaken. These Divine Grace Sect people are truly despicable."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, if the people from Divine Grace Sect hear you, you're done for."

As people discussed fervently, King Yunlu had already ridden his deer into Tianqi City.

Behind him, he was accompanied by hundreds of disciples, all uniformly dressed.

Some powerful wanderers noticed that each of those disciples was at least at the Imperial Stage or above.

"Yunlu, are you bringing so many people from the Divine Grace Sect for the Heart of the World?"

"Does Divine Grace Sect need your opinions on how we conduct ourselves?"

"Get lost, don't block the way!"

"You!"

A representative of a faction approached Yunlu, attempting to engage him in conversation.

But as soon as he spoke, Yunlu rebuffed him, leaving him with no choice but to leave dejectedly.

No one dared to confront the Divine Grace Sect head-on.

Yunlu's ostentatious behavior immediately drew the attention of all the cultivators in Tianqi City.

Among them, the wanderers were the most indignant.

But what could their anger achieve? They couldn't shake the colossal entity that was the Divine Grace Sect.

At this moment, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan had already been respectfully escorted into the chief VIP box and seated by Sheng Xuzi, unaware of what was happening in the city.

"My dear, if you see anything you like later, feel free to bid." Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

"You focus on buying, and I'll handle the spirit stones."

With a wave of her hand, Gu Lan handed the purple crystal VIP card to Mu Yuyan.

Mu Yuyan accepted it cooperatively, rewarding her partner with a sweet kiss.

They were not in the Jing Nation now and decided to try something different.

Like role-playing... the serious kind, of course.

At this moment,

Gu Lan played the role of a wealthy second-generation immortal.

Mu Yuyan portrayed a gentle and obedient fairy, attending the auction with the wealthy second-generation immortal.

The chief VIP box was an independent chamber, isolated by an array, making it impossible to see inside from outside.

While the auction had yet to begin, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan started examining the list of items up for auction.

It was specially delivered by Sheng Xuzi.

The list featured images and detailed descriptions of the items.

After scanning through it, Gu Lan spotted the highlight of the auction, the Heart of the World.

Unlike the Heart of the World from the Blissful Immortal Palace, it wasn't a stone but a fragmented seed.

The description did not explain the true purpose of the Heart of the World.

Because it was a broken Heart of the World, even the Star Picking Pavilion didn't know its true purpose.

Gu Lan couldn't help but sneer at the broken Heart of the World.

Counterfeit goods. She wondered if they would compensate tenfold if this thing turned out to be a fake...

At that moment,@@novelbin@@

Participants for the auction began arriving one after another.

The seating arrangement depended on the size of their factions.

The front row was reserved for VIP boxes, mostly occupied by major factions.

Naturally, King Yunlu of the Divine Grace Sect was among them.

"Let's make sure to secure those three disciple slots from the Star Picking Pavilion later."

"Placing our people in the Star Picking Pavilion through these slots would greatly benefit the Divine Grace Sect."

"Other than the disciple slots, our only goal is to obtain that Heart of the World!"

Yunlu instructed his subordinates, a wicked smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

As long as they acquired the Heart of the World, the Divine Grace Sect's small world would advance, with hopes of becoming another second-rate force in the Immortal Realm, no longer struggling among a bunch of third-rate forces.

It was not just about the sect's strength but also about elevating their status!

Such an opportunity could not be missed.

Apart from the VIP boxes, there were also numerous scattered seats, each filled with people.

These people were mostly wanderers.

Some came to scavenge for treasures, but many came for those three disciple slots.

Each person's eyes were filled with anticipation.

They had prepared their life savings, ready to take a chance here.

At this moment, a bulky figure clad in top-grade robes stepped onto the auction center platform.

"Esteemed friends! I am Sheng Xuzi of the Star Picking Pavilion, and I am also the auctioneer for this event!"

"Now, I declare that the auction officially begins!"

As the head of the Star Picking Pavilion, Sheng Xuzi personally conducted the auction, exciting every cultivator in the audience.

This meant that there were definitely treasures up for auction; otherwise, Sheng Xuzi wouldn't personally oversee it.

After Sheng Xuzi's announcement, the first item was quickly presented on the platform.

"The first item up for auction is a top-grade Immortal Stage treasure, the Azure Cloud Sword!"

"The starting price is eighty top-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be less than one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Please bid!"

On the platform, a green flying sword gently trembled, emitting a crisp sword cry.

The sound echoed throughout the venue!

Every swordsman in the audience trembled at the sound! They couldn't sit still anymore!
