After the Phantom Monkey was auctioned off, it was quickly sent to the private box, personally delivered by Feng Qiao.
Seeing Nie Shuangshuang, Feng Qiao’s face broke into a smile even before speaking: "Master Nie, your esteemed presence unexpectedly arrives without any prior notice.
I haven’t made preparations, and as a result, have left such a distinguished guest in an ordinary box, neglected in hosting, it’s my oversight."
Previously, whenever Nie Shuangshuang had any needs or wanted to sell anything, Feng Qiao would handle it since Feng Qiao knew Nie Shuangshuang’s habit was to never attend auctions.
Therefore, Feng Qiao didn’t send an invitation to Nie Shuangshuang for the auction this time, nor mentioned the event.
After all, whatever Nie Shuangshuang required, she would directly send a message, never minding whether it was during the auction, as these auctions were deemed a waste of time by Nie Shuangshuang.
Unexpectedly, Nie Shuangshuang attended the auction in person, and Feng Qiao was rather surprised when the lower ranks reported Nie Shuangshuang’s presence at the auction.
While speaking with Nie Shuangshuang, Feng Qiao handed over the Phantom Monkey, which Nie Shuangshuang received casually, handing it to Feng Feiyu who was eagerly eyeing the Phantom Monkey.
"I recently took a disciple and brought him out to see the world, incidentally purchasing a Personal Cave Heaven." Nie Shuangshuang saw Feng Feiyu’s joyful expression and knew he indeed liked the Phantom Monkey.
Feng Qiao observed Nie Shuangshuang’s actions that, though expressionless, clearly showed indulgence, secretly surprised that the Cold-faced Rakshasa could have such gentle moments, impossible to believe if told.
The Treasure Pavilion auction consists of two parts; one is the regular auction where the auctioneer introduces treasures one by one, and attendees bid high for them.
The other is free exchange; many items at the Treasure Pavilion auction are sold on behalf of others, with the Pavilion earning a commission.
However, many treasure holders are not seeking Spirit Stones but other items, intending to barter their treasures.
Hence, after the regular auction ends, the Pavilion provides a venue for mutual exchange, of course, even self-bartering requires paying a sizable sum of Spirit Stones as a commission.
The owner of the Personal Cave Heaven Nie Shuangshuang wanted was looking to barter at the exchange venue, which is why Nie Shuangshuang waited until now.
Knowing Nie Shuangshuang intended to buy a Personal Cave Heaven, Feng Qiao laughed: "It’s different after taking a disciple; I told you before, as a Great Cultivator, residing in such a small courtyard is inappropriate.
You pretended not to hear, and I thought you’d stay in that courtyard for at least another eight thousand years, but taking a disciple has made you prepare to relocate, you really do spoil your disciple, catching me by surprise.
Coincidentally, I know the person planning to exchange the Personal Cave Heaven, why don’t I take Master Nie over, actually I was also planning to exchange an urgently needed treasure from him, we can talk to him together."
The person exchanging the Personal Cave Heaven is a man of old appearance, gray-haired, looking fifty or sixty years old.
Cultivators never look old since upon reaching the Golden Core stage, the body can be reshaped, and even appearance can be changed, so those beyond Golden Core, not only aren’t old, but are rarely ugly.
The reason for saying rarely ugly is that some, upon reaching Golden Core, aren’t willing to waste their ability on changing appearance, using all power to improve physical qualities.
Except for deliberately strange preferences, cultivators aren’t old, but there’s one exception: when life essence nears its end, rapid aging occurs.
This person wanting to exchange the Personal Cave Heaven with Nie Shuangshuang is a cultivator whose life essence is about to be exhausted and hasn’t broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Seeing Nie Shuangshuang and Feng Qiao arrive at his stall, the man first sluggishly raised his head, upon seeing Nie Shuangshuang and sensing her unfathomable cultivation, finally his eyes lit up.
His eyes slightly widened, looking at Nie Shuangshuang: "This Immortal Master is the one Fengqiao Pavilion Master mentioned earlier who wishes for the Personal Cave Heaven?"
Feng Qiao nodded, saying to Nie Shuangshuang: "I’ve seen his Personal Cave Heaven before, it’s truly excellent, originally a Loose Cultivator’s residence.
Later, when that Loose Cultivator died in battle, the Personal Cave Heaven was taken as spoils, eventually falling into this person’s hands by chance."
As Feng Qiao finished speaking, the cultivator said: "If Master Nie genuinely desires it, feel free to inspect whether this Immortal Mansion suits your needs."
Upon finishing, the cultivator waved his hand, an exquisitely crafted Personal Cave Heaven flew out from his sleeve, landing before the few of them, a miniature version of the Personal Cave Heaven.
Rather than describing it as a Personal Cave Heaven, it’s more apt to call it a Personal Immortal Mansion, given its exquisite craftsmanship, with the entire Immortal Mansion divided into over ten zones.
Each area contains gardens with varying landscapes, architectural precision reaching utmost refinement, with a Spiritual Spring right in the center garden, clearly having absorbed the entire spring into the mansion.
The Immortal Mansion is enveloped in Spiritual Energy, besides living, resting, and hosting spaces, there’s much more.
Places for planting Spiritual Medicine, Artifact Refining, Cultivation, recreation, and spirit beast breeding—everything a cultivator needs is within the mansion.
Even behind the Immortal Mansion, there’s a large, clear lake with aquatic plants, intended for breeding aquatic spirit beasts.
This Personal Immortal Mansion can vary in size, ranging from occupying a thousand acres to shrinking to the size of a speck of dust, convenient for carrying and hiding.
Seeing Nie Shuangshuang’s evident fondness for the Immortal Mansion, the cultivator eagerly introduced: "Immortal Master Nie, this Personal Immortal Mansion isn’t just comfortable and finely made.
Its most crucial function is its astounding defense; beneath Loose Immortal, no one can breach its defenses. If Immortal Master Nie doubts, you can test it personally."
Following his advice, Nie Shuangshuang tested with her full power attacking the Personal Immortal Mansion, only to find her immense strength completely dissipated before the mansion.
Dissipated calmly and quietly, Nie Shuangshuang wasn’t surprised, a Personal Immortal Mansion of a Loose Immortal wouldn’t be breached by her current power, after testing she ceased further assaults.
Nie Shuangshuang then addressed the cultivator: "Since you’re willing to part with this Personal Immortal Mansion, I assume your demands are considerable; what treasure do you wish to trade it for?"
A Personal Cave Heaven, while expensive, wasn’t significant to Nie Shuangshuang, but the cultivator’s Personal Immortal Mansion could incite a bloody scramble being a top-tier treasure.
Possessing such a treasure ensures safety beneath Loose Immortal, hiding within the mansion upon encountering enemies is enough, able to let go of such a life-preserving item, this cultivator’s desires must be vast.
