The purpose of the Biyun Sect auctioning off rare resources from the relic is quite clear.
First, years of overcoming the relic's restrictions have been tremendously costly. Not to mention, with thousands of the Sect's disciples stationed long-term in the spiritually chaotic Great Marsh Mountains to prevent cultivation decline, the consumption of Spirit Supplement Pills alone is astronomical.
Additionally, now with the conscription of family cultivators within the state, at least basic provisions must be provided.
Releasing some resources for auction at this time is a way to convert assets into liquidity.
Second, as the pressure from the two northern states intensifies, maintaining stability on the home front becomes increasingly crucial. Loose cultivators within the state, who are usually beneath notice, cannot be disregarded at the moment.
Spilling a bit of soup and water can somewhat soothe the imbalance in the hearts of the loose cultivators on the home front.
