14 Inviting Guests

Unfortunately generally no one would dare to mass buy slaves like this. After all, it is difficult to control the loyalty of the subordinates.

And while there are techniques that allow people to forcibly control them, generally the cost outweighs the gain.

Maybe if they were stronger cultivators or had better talent the families would take action. But for some pawns like these it isn't worth the effort.

However Dante didn't care about the talents or cultivation of the slaves. The main benefit of the puppet technique is to do with the longevity of the Cultivator.

Once Dante makes them into a puppet their longevity is immediately connected to Dantes. So as long as Dante is still alive then the Puppet is alive.

Which means that they will be able to provide cultivation for Dante for the whole of his life, naturally the higher the number the greater of a profit Dante Reaps from them.

If anything Dante prefers to buy cultivators like this. While the Fairy State cultivator wil provide better combat power and more cultivation each day, when it comes to filling a plane with puppets in the future Dante naturally prefers Core Building Cultivators and below.

Once you pass to the Fairy State you become a separate entity to a normal human. This had advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is naturally the strength and longevity, while the disadvantage is the lower chance of having offspring.

It might take hundreds of years to have a single child, while the corebuilding cultivator can have one at least once a year. It's a clear difference.

For Dantes Purpose he naturally wants to fill the planes as quickly as possible. But he won't fill it with garbage mortals to take up space and resources. It's better to find people with decent talent and potential to reproduce.

''Alright! Quiet Down!.'' The Auctioneer shouted, dragging Dante away from his thoughts.

''Now for the main item. An Ancient Beast Egg! The parents of this beast are unknown however our professionals have indeed confirmed that it is an Ancient Beast Egg. The Starting Price will be 1000 Heavenly Notes!''

1000 heavenly notes is an incredible amount. More than the county would make in a decade. However none of the rich participants here felt it was too expensive.

An Ancient Beast Egg would undoubtedly have incredible talent and inheritance. Able to cultivate to the Ancient Rank or Even higher!

That is the Backbone of a majority of Families and Sects! Even in Dantes Family no one would look down on an extra Ancient.

''2000''

''2500''

''5000''

One by one each of the families and sects who had appeared provided their opening bids.

As for the real heavy hitters, they had yet to start.

Finally when the bid reached 10,000 the ancient and saints finally started to take action.

''20,000!''

''50,000!''

''100,000!''

''200,000'' However a cold voice doubled the price, causing the rivals ro fall silent.

Naturally they knew that the voice belonged to the young miss. There was no chance that they could outbid 200,000 heavenly notes. That is enough to cultivate an ancient descendant of their own.

''400,000'' But just as everyone thought that Alice had won, a sweet voice came out of Dantes Box.

Such an amount was small for Dante. It didn't even need him to take action himself.

''Damn it! Who the hell is in there??'' Alice's ever cold face finally cracked as she heard the bid. That much was well out of her price range for the egg.

As expected Dante won the Egg without much competition. But he wasn't done there.

Turning towards one of the beautiful servants, he said

''Go invite the Young Miss Alice here, under the name of the Armstrong Family.''

A few minutes later in Alices room they heard a loud knocking on the door.

''Who is knocking so loudly?'' Alice shouted even colder than normal. ''Old man go bring them in here''

''Yes, young Miss.''

The old man swung open the door revealing the beauty standing outside, the beauty was comparable to Alice causing the young man who had been silent this entire time to stare lewdly at her body.

''My Young Master has sent me here to bring you to his room.'' Ignoring the young man in the corner the beauty simply flashed an insignia towards the woman and left.

The young man was stunned at this action. In his opinion Alice was already at the peak of this world, no one should have such a dismissive attitude right?

He watched intently as if worried to miss the excitement after Alice got angry.

But unexpectedly not only did Alice not get angry her face instantly paled and hear hands quivered.

''A..A..Armstrong Family?'' Alice stuttered out the sentence.

''What are you waiting for follow her!'' Alice shouted towards the old man ignored the young man who was now standing next to her.

As Alice rushed out the room the man was left standing there alone before the door finally closed behind her.

Dante sat calmly on the main sofa being fed spiritual fruits from a beauty beside him, not at all shocked by the open door revealing two panicked figures.

But Dante didn't know how stunned Alice was once she saw the young boy standing in front of her. But his age wasn't the reason for her panic, rather it was the small crown sitting on the golden insignia of the boy.

Naturally she was taught what this meant, the boy in front of her is the heir to the Armstrong Family.

''Alice has seen the young master'' She hurriedly bowed her head showing the most humble posture possible.

As for the old man who followed her, he had long since fallen to his knees.

''You can stand, I invited you here to ask you a question. Who is that young man who is qualified to receive your personal invitation?''
