Chapter 22

Two days later, he was dual cultivating with Lily after coming back from school.

He still wasn't very good at Dual cultivating as he sitting so close together with a beautiful girl always turned him on, which resulted in his concentration wavering and breaking the resonance between the two of them which increased their cultivation at a much faster rate.

He had improved slightly from the first day when he tried Dual Cultivation but he was still a long way off from being an expert at it.

Of course, he could always roleplay as Duel Cultivating Expert and become immensely good at it but he realized that he couldn't always rely on his powers to do everything for him and had started to learn and cultivate on his own.

Of course, the results weren't very pretty in the beginning but with a dozen of his clones working at the same time as him, he was improving at a fast rate.

He also always kept one of his clone out with while roleplaying as Nie Li in order to sense for any powerful Expert that might try to keep an eye on him or try to abduct him.

He once again tried to Dual cultivate with Lily but his concentration wavered once again as he was disturbed by someone.

That someone was none other than the clone of Shen Xiu, except that this time, she was wearing an even more revealing dress. It seems like the Clone he had assigned her to had been enjoying himself.

"What is it?" he asked curiously.

"Master" she said with a bow that gave him a good view of her assets, sending blood down to his little brother "The Secret Treasure Pavilion hosts an auction this time every single month. Would you by any chance be interested in buying any treasures from them."

"What do they usually sell?" he asked curiously.

She shrugged, her soft tits jiggling with her action "Weapons, powerful Demon Spirits, High Level Inscriptions, Rare Pills from the Alchemy Association, books from the Ancient times and exotic and strange items found in the runes of the Ancient civilizations."

He remembered Nie Li going to an auction 2 months later in the canon and buying a bunch of items. And although he didn't look very interested in any of them, he did buy a ton of stuff from the auction.

Plus, Nie Li did buy the Demon Spiritualist Pot from that auction by the end of the day.

And as much as he doubted the fact that he'll gain a similar treasure on that level, he might still be able to buy some other useful things that would give a boost to his Cultivation rate.

He looked at Shen Xiu, his eyes straying down to her assets despite wanting to look her in the eyes and asked "Have you gone to such auctions before?"

"I have." She replied, not elaborating on it.

"And do they allow commoners to attend these auctions?"

"They do master." She replied before frowning "But you need to submit an entrance fee of 5,000 as well as submit at least 50,000 Demon Spirit coins as an advance to show them that you're really here to buy and not to waste space. If you don't buy anything from the auction than that 50,000 Demon Spirit coins are still returned to you."

"I see. Is there a restrictions in what the commoners can buy?" he asked.

She shook her head "No. But if a commoner starts to bid alongside the other noble families than that brings a lot of attention to that commoner. That commoner might even be attacked by the other families when returning."

"Any way in which I can divert that attention from myself?"

She wrapped her arms under her breasts, making it look like they would spill out any moment and thought about it for a second "I'm not sure about the particularities of this but I know that there is a way for people to buy the VIP seats by paying a high amount of entrance fee and by submitting over 1 million as advance fee."

He nodded and shape shifted himself into an old man with noble and sharp features "Then let's go and check this auction house."

—————

Two hours later, he sat in his own booth in the auction house with four of his bodyguards (shape shifted clones) standing in attention behind him and another standing as his butler while a disguised Lily and Shen Xiu sat on his left and right.

"May I bring something for you to eat or drink?" the beautiful woman who had shown them to their booth asked.

He sent a message to his Butler clone who answered "No. And we would appreciate not being disturbed for the rest of the auction."

The woman nodded with a smile, bowing low enough to show her cleavage before leaving.

His other clone closed off the door and activated the inscription array that would stop any voice from going out of the box.

He then made his clones roleplay as and Expert Archaeologist, Expert Cultivator with worldly knowledge and other such things that would allow him to understand the treasures being auctioned off in the stage.

And of course, he himself roleplay as Nie Li because of his vast knowledge base. Of course, he would not get Nie Li's knowledge base but he would get his intuition which would allow him to ascertain whether a treasure is worth buying or not.

"Dear Ladies and gentleman. Once again, welcome to the monthly auction of the Secret Treasure Pavilion. In this auction, we have prepared a lot of high Quality weapons and armors made found in the ruins of the Snow Wind Empire along with other treasures. We hope that everyone will like them." The woman in the stage said in a charming voice before the curtains moved aside and the first items were brought to the stage.
