To steal an antique from the Guhua auction house is absolutely a heaven-defying feat, and those who have had such ideas mostly died in the auction house.

  "Are you interested in working together on this?" Guo Yi thought that having one more helper would increase their chances of stealing the wine.

  The woman with a ghostly face coldly hummed: "It seems that I can only cooperate with you two useless people for now."

  "Hey, who are you calling trash? Which eye of yours saw us as trash?" Guo Yigang was still the first on the "Martial Arts List", but in the blink of an eye, he was called trash by someone, and to make matters worse, it was a woman. This was absolutely unbearable.

  Also furious, gritting his teeth, he said: "What makes you say we're useless? If I were to reveal our school's name, I guarantee it would scare you so much that you'd fall over twice."

  The two of them really wanted to smash the Wu Meng token in their hands directly onto the ghost-faced woman's face.

  "In my opinion, any man who has not entered the 'Spirit List' is a waste."

  Each realm of cultivation has a ranking list, with the Warriors having the "Martial List" and the Spiritual Practitioners having the "Spiritual List"... Moreover, each ranking list is different, and the requirements for entering the "Spiritual List" are even more stringent than those for the "Martial List". Only those who rank among the top 72 in the Spiritual Practitioner realm qualify to enter the "Spiritual List", and the mark of the "Spiritual List" will only descend upon these 72 individuals, unlike the "Martial List" where many people can obtain the mark.

  Guo Yi was dissatisfied and said: "In the entire ancient Xuan domain, only 72 people can enter the 'Ling Bang', and half of them are women. Are you saying that apart from these dozens of men, all the other tens of billions of men are useless?"

  "That's right. Gu Xuan Yu once said: 'A single sword in the central plains can subdue all four directions, a woman should marry a man from Chu Ge!' The number one on the Spirit List, Chu Ge, is the only one who can be considered the greatest wonder of men under the heavens. As long as he exists in this world, all other men below him on the list are naturally useless. Chu Ge doesn't even need to draw his sword, just a single finger and he can crush you two to death. Don't you still acknowledge that you're useless?" The ghost-faced woman coldly smiled as she looked at Guo Yao and the other."

  "Damn it, she looks down on us." Guo Yi was so angry that he almost jumped up from the ground. If Chu Ge were here, he would probably pounce on her and bite her to death.

  "Don't pull me, I'm going to die." His self-esteem was also severely damaged, and he was about to hit the wall, but was pulled back by Guo Yao, who advised: "Brother, you must look at it clearly, don't seek death because of a woman's words."

  Taking a deep breath, calming the stifled anger in his heart, he said: "Right, since others look down on us, why must we cooperate with her. It's just stealing a jar of wine, I don't believe it's that difficult."

  "Alright." Guo Yi said to the Ghost-Faced Woman: "Two useless people like us are not worthy of cooperating with a great expert like you, so we'll take our leave first."

  Kuo Yeh turned around and left, no longer paying attention to the ghost-faced woman.

  As they walked along the road, the two of them grumbled and complained. Guo Yao said: "You say that nowadays women are all so infatuated, with such exceptional good men like us right by their side, yet they're still thinking about Chu Ge, the number one on the 'Spiritual Leaderboard', saying things like 'when marrying a man, marry a Chu Ge' - can he handle all those women?"

  "It's also a complaint that fills the air: 'In order not to be looked down upon by these foolish women, it seems we can only kill our way up the Spirit Rankings, then have a one-on-one showdown with that guy named Chu Ge, and trample him underfoot...'"

  "Right, it would be best to castrate him as well, and then everything will be peaceful throughout the land."

  After finishing speaking, Guo Yi and ** let out a long sigh at the same time, as if they had just saved the world.

  Guhua Auction House, known as the world's number one auction house, has a history of over 100,000 years. The Guhua family behind it is also known as the world's number one wealthy family. Wherever there are people, there are business venues of the Guhua family.

  The ancient Chinese auction house of Kongming City's branch was built with an imposing manner, and it is the tallest building in the city.

  What's most unexpected is that the auction house was built right in the middle of the black market, with around 8,000 to 10,000 customers coming and going every day, making it the second busiest place in the entire black market.

  At the beginning of each month, the Ancient Desolate Auction House would hold a grand auction, where the items being auctioned off were all priceless treasures. The minimum price for participation was at least a thousand stalks of Spiritual Grass, so it wasn't something that ordinary people could participate in.

  "The auction will be held in three days, and the nine ancient treasures have already been delivered to the auction house, guarded by the nine great masters. The ancient wine brewed by Wu Zhiwei is one of them." In a teahouse across from the Guhua Auction House, Guo Yi and ** were discussing in hushed tones how to steal the ancient wine.

  At this time, the ghost-faced woman also came to the tea building, apparently also to make a scene. Seeing Guo and Yi, her face revealed a cold smile: "I'd like to see how you can steal the ancient wine from under the noses of the nine great masters."

  Although both Guo and Yi wore masks, they were dressed in the same white robes, which made them easy to identify.

  "Could it be that you have some profound insight, young lady?" asked Guo Yi with a smile.

  The woman with a ghostly face said: "All nine great masters are the strongest of the Seventh Palace and above, taking the ancient wine from their hands is like taking chestnuts from the fire."

  "Haha, so you're also helpless, I thought you had some clever plan!" he sneered.

  "But I heard a secret that may not necessarily come to a head-on confrontation." The ghost-faced woman said, "This time I came specifically to find you, hoping we can put aside our past grievances and truly cooperate once."

  "As long as you don't mention anything about Chu Ge in front of us, we're actually still willing to cooperate." Guo Yi smiled and said: "What secret is it after all?"

  The woman with a ghostly face walked to the tea table and sat down, saying in a low voice: "I learned through secret channels that a legitimate son of the Gu family is coming to Void City. This legitimate son is the controller of all business in Nanling, his status is not trivial at all. If we can capture this god of wealth, I'm sure they will hand over the Jiu Xian Gu wine without hesitation."

  Guo Yeleng sneered, "I admit that this is indeed a good idea. I'd like to ask you, elder sister, since even an auction house has nine great masters guarding it, do you think the wealthy young master of Nanling wouldn't have any powerful experts by his side?"

  He also smiled and said: "I think it's still possible, if this girl can sacrifice a bit of beauty, maybe she can really hook that big fish."

  "You..." The ghost-faced woman's five fingers clenched tightly, her whole body trembling with rage, as two streams of ghostly energy emanated from her body and transformed into two ghostly hands that were about to slap the two people to death.

  "Your dark shadow is not yet home." Guo Yi's hands burst forth with a ball of ghostly fire, the black smoke above it churning and swirling, transforming into the shape of a fierce ghost that swallowed the two ghostly hands into its belly.

  The woman with a ghostly face slightly changed her expression: "Netherfire Technique, you're also a ghost cultivator."

  "No, it's Ghost Fire Technique." Guo Yi smiled and said: "Nether Fire Technique is a low-level trick, how can it compare to my Ghost Fire Technique?"

  Onmyodo and Kage no Jutsu are two of the eighteen forbidden techniques of Oni Taiji, with Onmyodo ranking higher than Kage no Jutsu.

  The woman with a ghostly face hummed: "I didn't expect that you are indeed a real person who doesn't show your true appearance, I'm afraid your status in the 72 Ghost Cities is not low either?"

  "Why don't you think I'm from Baigushan?" asked Guo Yao with a smile.

  The woman with a ghostly face seemed to know White Bone Mountain very well, and said: "Only three people of the younger generation in White Bone Mountain can make it to the stage, your cultivation is far behind them."

  "She continued: 'Nor is that right, if you are a dignitary of the seventy-two demon cities, how would you not know the shortcut to the west of Nanling? What kind of person are you?'"

  "Actually... I am a person from Ghost Valley." Guo Yi's heart felt somewhat vacant, he thought this woman was not ordinary.

  The female ghost face let out a sharp laugh, as if mocking Guo Yi's ignorance, saying: "Do you even know what the Ghost Valley is? That's a sacred place that only accepts female ghosts. In the entire ancient mystic realm, there isn't a single male creature that dares to step foot in it."

  "What about the male Oni?" he asked.

  "Kill without error." The ghost-faced woman's laughter sounded like a wailing spirit.

  Kuo Yeh heard the woman's words, and his heart suddenly moved. "She actually calls such an evil place as Kuei Ku a sacred place; can it be that she is a person from Kuei Ku? No, a female ghost from Kuei Ku? Then what was her purpose in going to White Bone Mountain?"

  This ghost-faced woman's strength is unfathomable, and she can even learn the eighteen absolute skills of the Ghost Sect. Her status is extraordinary.

  Guo Yisi thought for a long time before saying: "Actually, we can still cooperate, but the entire process of action must be listened to me."

  "Impossible. My cultivation is higher than yours, so it's only natural that you should listen to me." The ghost-faced woman said resolutely.

  Guo Yichang smiled: "We are all cultivators of the Sixth Palace of Lingzhu, who can tell whose cultivation is higher, only by comparing."

  The woman with a ghostly face was very confident in her own cultivation and said, "If you want to compare, then compare, but how we compare must be decided by me."

  "Eh! It should be me who decides. Otherwise, if you go out and say it, people will say that a big woman like you is bullying two small men like us, your face won't be able to take it."

  Guo Yi was not intentionally being unreasonable, but it was because he had just broken through the sixth palace of the spiritual realm. His cultivation was enough, but his application was far from sufficient. The ghost-faced woman was already at the peak of the sixth palace, and although she was in the same realm as Guo Yi, her cultivation was indeed about one level higher than his.

  His skills were no match for hers, and his application was also inferior. Guo Yao could only win by using his strongest aspect.

  The ghost-faced woman was both angry and amused, saying: "Even if I let you decide, you would still lose."

  "Alright, you said it." Guo Yixi said: "Let's see who can play with fire better."

  "Don't think that just because you've cultivated the Ghost Fire Technique, you're unbeatable. My cultivation is at least twice as high as yours, and even if I use the Underworld Fire Technique, I'll still win against you." The ghost-faced woman stood up from her seat with an air of a heroine not yielding to heroes, ready to settle the score with Guo Yi once and for all.

  Guo Yexiao smiled and shook his head, tapping the table and sighing: "Women! They're just so impulsive. Have all the women with a bit of poise died out?"

  "You...!" The woman with a ghostly face heaved her chest and shouted: "Are you going to compare or not?"

  Seeing the Ghost-Faced Woman successfully enraged by herself, Guo Yi suddenly smiled in his heart. Playing with fire most emphasizes calmness and tranquility; whoever becomes agitated first will lose first. It can be said that the Ghost-Faced Woman has already lost half of the battle.

  Guo Ye said slowly: "Compared to this, winning isn't that interesting. We should add some excitement. What's good? How about if I win, you kiss me; if you win, you kiss me?"

  The female ghost's face became even more furious, with green smoke rising from the top of her head, and she roared: "I'm not finished yet, I'll kill you first."

  "Stop, stop...... Compare, compare now." Guo Yi hastily stood up and made a comparing gesture.

  The ghost-faced woman quickly calmed the anger in her heart, and a scorching aura emanated from her palm. A ball of dark green flames rose from her palm, and within the flames, a phoenix's spirit fluttered about, letting out a loud cry.

  Guo Yi's face changed, and he said: "This is not some kind of dark fire technique at all. This is the Blood Bird Bone Fire Technique. You actually found the white bones of the Blood Bird and refined the bone fire."

  The Blood Bird Bone Fire Technique is not one of the eighteen forbidden techniques of the Ghost Sect, but it is in no way inferior to them. In terms of strangeness, it is even more so than several degrees.

  The woman with a ghostly face smiled and said, "Your little tricks can't fool me. Do you think I was really enraged by you? In fact, it's all just an act for your benefit. Let me tell you, my true profession is playing with fire, and when it comes to fire, I understand it a hundred times better than you do."

  "Is that so? You'll know once you've played." Guo Yi's palm also produced a flame, but the flame was two colors, half red and half black. He was using both the Nine Changes Mysterious Fire Technique and the Ghost Fire Technique at the same time.

  "How did your Onmyodo turn into two different colors?" The woman with a ghostly face asked in surprise.

  Guo Yexiao smiled and said, "I told you that your experience is shallow. The ghost fire also has a distinction between male and female. This red one is the male, and the black one is the female. When the male and female combine, they are invincible in the world."

  The female ghost face didn't want to listen to Guo Yao's nonsense, and said: "Then let's see whose ghost fire is more powerful, yours or my blood bird bone fire."

  "Let the Blood Birds burn!"

  "The combination of the king and queen is invincible under heaven!"
