Chapter 3489: Crimson Pearl (Revision)

Jiang Yun at all. It's clear that her attitude towards Jiang Yun is completely different from that of Elder Han."Well, if anyone among them could obtain the complete inheritance, that would be great n...In another private room of the Qiankun Auction House, Qiu Ge, the proprietor, stood by the window, his face impassive as he gazed out at the entire auction hall.

...especially the other ninety-eight rooms.

Although he was the shopkeeper, like everyone else, he couldn't see what was happening inside the private room.

After all, if he really did something in the room, and someone found out, his Qiankun Auction House would be ruined. So, he wouldn't do such a thing.

But, at least he could know, what kind of people were in each room! His eyes constantly swept back and forth across the sixteen rooms.

Of these sixteen rooms, either they were individuals whose identities he couldn't confirm, such as Jiang Yun; or else they were people of extremely high status and power, such as the Wine Immortal and some members of the Xu family.

As the auction officially began, Qiu Ge's face revealed a cold smile: "Interesting, today's auction, I originally thought that the Thirteen Major Forces would be the first to make a move, testing my Qiankun Auction House."

But unexpectedly, the first to act would be the Wine Immortal and the Xu family!

I'm becoming more and more interested in knowing what secrets the Tie family is hiding!

"Here comes someone!"

As Qiu Ge’s voice fell, a maidservant walked into the private room. Standing behind Qiu Ge, looking at Qiu Ge’s back, a look of reverence and excitement appeared on her beautiful face as she said: "Master, what are your orders"

For all the maidservants in Qianyuan Building and the auction house, including Yu, Qiu Ge is not only their madam but also their benefactor! Each of them should have had a miserable life, and many wouldn't even be alive today.

But it was precisely because of Qiu Ge's appearance that she brought them out of the sea of suffering, gave them a new life, and allowed them to have a brand new life.

Therefore, they were immensely loyal and respectful towards Qiu Ge.

As long as it is Qiu Ge's command, even if it means sacrificing their lives, they would not hesitate for a moment.

Although Qiu Ge did not turn around, he easily called out the name of the maidservant and said, "Ruying, I remember that the Great Yi realm was under your responsibility"

Upon hearing this, the reverence in his eyes deepened.

No one knew better than they did how formidable, how terrifying this seemingly genteel man could be.

The vast and boundless Cloudy Realm was divided by Qiu Ge into hundreds of regions, each entrusted to a maid responsible for gathering all information within her assigned area.

This task might seem easy at first glance, but in reality, each region contains hundreds of worlds, and the number of factions within them is countless.

For the average person, it's probably hard to remember which regions are under whose jurisdiction.

Ke Qiu Ge, however, was meticulous about both big and small matters, remembering everything clearly and never making a single mistake.

Ru Ying slightly bowed and said, "Yes, Master, the Dai Yi Realm is under Ru Ying's responsibility!"

Qiu Ge said lightly: "Tell me in detail about the Iron Family's intelligence over the past ten years!"

For each region, for each faction's situation, based on the scale and strength of each faction, Qiu Ge summarizes it once every three years at the least, or up to ten years at most.

This is also the origin of the Qiankun Auction House's tradition of holding small auctions every three years and large auctions every ten years! According to the various intelligence he has gathered, Qiu Ge can accurately predict what kind of resources each faction needs and lacks.

Then, go out and acquire similar items to put up for auction.

In short, whether it's a three-year or a ten-year auction, it was all meticulously orchestrated by Qiu Ge specifically for the major powers within the entire Lunyun Domain! The Tie Family, due to their small stature, although Qiu Ge knew about the Tie Family's other secrets, he still chose to compile their intelligence reports into a once-every-ten-years affair.

According to Qiu Ge himself, these families, although they have secrets, are not daring to expose them themselves, so there is no need to watch them too closely.

As soon as Qiu Ge finished speaking, Ruyi blurted out without hesitation.

To become Qiu Ge's subordinate, one must also possess strong memory and analytical skills. They need to keep all the information within their assigned area constantly in mind.

Over the past decade, the Tie family has remained largely unchanged. Every month, they deliver five thousand jars of their special brew to Liuxianlou, a building under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, in exchange for heavenly stones used for their cultivation.

Qiu Ge had already closed his eyes, quietly listening to Ying's report. But in his mind, a complete picture of the Tie family was gradually emerging.

Six months ago, the head of the Tie family, Tie Chunning, was poisoned by his second son, Tie Gang. His lifespan was shortened due to the poison, but luckily Gu Si appeared in time and extended Tie Chunning's life.

Although Gu Si did not say how much it increased his lifespan, it is believed to be a considerable amount.

Hearing this, Qiu Ge nodded and said, "Shou Yuan Dan, a hundred years of life essence, continue!"

Ruyin followed and said, "After that, Gu Si left in anger."

Three days later, Tie Chengyun's granddaughter, Tie Runan, quietly left the Tie family and met with someone who could change their appearance. It should be Gu Si.

If Ginger Cloud could hear these words right now, her heart would surely be shaken.

Because his meeting with Tie Ruxun was already extremely secretive, he didn't expect that this shadow would know it clearly.

Finally, after Ruo Ying finished recounting the Iron Family's ten-year ordeal, Qiu Ge also opened his eyes and said, "The City Lord's Mansion was destroyed, and even your divine sense was blocked. This shows that a Heaven Venerable expert made the move back then."

"No wonder the Wine Immortal came to find the Xu family, it turns out the Tie family is still hiding a Heavenly Venerable expert."

"However, this day's expert wasn't the final secret of the Tie family."

To have a Heaven Venerable expert, yet allow the Tie family to remain a small family for so many years, must be to preserve this ultimate secret!

No matter what the secret is, since there's a Heavenly Venerable expert in charge, then this Iron Family, I might as well try to win them over.

"However, I also want to see if this ancient Four will make a move to help the Tie family and counter Wine Immortal and the Xu family to overcome this crisis!"

In the room directly opposite Qiu Ge's, there were three people: one sitting and two standing.

The one sitting there was an elder, holding a gourd as tall as a man in his hand. The mouth of the gourd was open, and a rich aroma of wine wafted out from within.

The old man wore a red robe, his appearance was imposing, and a large wine-colored nose indicated his status.

Jiu Xian! This celestial being founded the Jiu Xian Sect and, through his efforts, it grew to become the most powerful force in the entire Lun Yun Domain. He can even be considered the master of Lun Yun Domain.

At this moment, although he held his ever-present wine gourd, he did not drink. Instead, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if feigning sleep.

The two middle-aged men standing behind him looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, they saw a flash of horror.

They had followed the Wine Immortal for many years and were all too familiar with his temper. They knew the Wine Immortal loved alcohol dearly, and there was only one situation where he wouldn't drink—when he was nervous! That is to say, the Wine Immortal was actually nervous at this moment! As the master of the Luoyun Domain, although the Wine Immortal's status and strength might not be as great as the Nine Heavenly Venerables or the Six Great Hidden Lords, he was still one of the absolute powerhouses in the entire celestial realm.

This left them utterly bewildered, wondering what on earth could possibly cause the esteemed Wine Immortal to be so nervous! However, they naturally dared not ask and could only carry this bewilderment with them, paying close attention to the ongoing auction.

At this very moment, the woman in red standing on the auction stage, like a dream, had just sold an item. With a turn of her wrist, a crimson bead the size of a lychee appeared in her slender, fair palm.

And the appearance of this bead caused the ever-dozing Wine Immortal to suddenly open his eyes, his pupils blazing with intensity! Aside from the Wine Immortal, three individuals in three other private rooms also revealed such an expression.

One of the three had an iron will!er the entire Heavenly Vault, but rather that Ji Kongfan didn't need it!Ji Kongfan's purpose was not to rebel, but only to pass through this Heavenly Citadel in the shortest time possible, so he only...
