Chapter 81 Kill the Quasi-Emperor and Destroy the Prince
Other than happening between a master and his pet, Xiao Lie, Su Bai, and the others truly couldn't think of any other possibilities.
However, an even greater question arose in their minds, leaving Xiao Lie and Su Bai extremely puzzled.
'A Demon Emperor with a hundred thousand years of cultivation, why, why would he submit to such an unknown nobody?'
In their opinion, if Chen Qing truly possessed the ability to tame a hundred thousand-year-old Demon Emperor, they should have heard of such a person long ago; it shouldn't be completely unheard of.
If the pressure on them hadn't been so real, their bones aching as if they were about to crack, they would have truly suspected that they had unknowingly fallen into an illusion cast by Chen Qing.
Even the two princes, who considered themselves well-informed, were like this, let alone the other Cultivators and wealthy merchants. Kneeling on the ground, the shock in their hearts was fully displayed on their Faces.
"This, is this the Demon Emperor with a hundred thousand years of cultivation, capable of effortlessly destroying a country?!"
"Such a terrifying Yao Beast, how, how did he tame it?"
"Why else? Of course, it's because he's strong enough!"
"So, to tame a Demon Emperor with a hundred thousand years of cultivation, what Realm does one need to reach?"
"You ask me? Who should I ask? I want to know too."
"I only knew he was the richest man in the world, capable of spending over a billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones casually. I never expected, never expected, his true trump card to be so terrifying."
...
Suddenly, the number of people who wanted to curry favor with Chen Qing, who wanted to become his Dao Companion, surged significantly.
They all thought that if they could attach themselves to such a powerful figure, they would surely prosper in the future.
'So this kid dares to call himself 'this Emperor' because he has a Demon Emperor as a Spirit Pet.'
Xiao Lie, having realized this, had to admit that Chen Qing indeed possessed the capital.
So he said, "This Crown Prince truly underestimated you. As the saying goes, 'no discord, no concord.' I won't pursue the death of the Qilin. How about we become friends?"
In Xiao Lie's view, being able to win over a figure like Chen Qing would be beneficial, not harmful, to himself and to the entire White Tiger Country.
"Yes, yes, yes, no discord, no concord, no discord, no concord. Why make it so unpleasant? Let's all be friends, eat meat, and chat. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Su Bai quickly echoed when he heard Xiao Lie say so.
Chen Qing, however, had a cold expression. "Are you even worthy?"
Towards those who had harbored killing intent towards him, Chen Qing didn't care what others thought about resolving conflict with a mere 'no discord, no concord' phrase, but it wouldn't work for him!
"So, you insist on being enemies with this Crown Prince, and with the entire White Tiger Country?" Xiao Lie was very displeased, feeling that he had given Chen Qing enough Face, yet he showed no appreciation.
Did he really think he was a pushover?
"Little Black, these two guys are for you to fill your belly." Chen Qing ignored Xiao Lie's question and turned to the Nine Nether Undying Dragon on his shoulder.
The little fellow seemed very excited after receiving Chen Qing's permission.
As a Yao Beast, devouring Human Race Cultivators can quickly increase one's cultivation.
The more powerful the Human Race Cultivator devoured, the greater the increase in cultivation.
This is a natural privilege unique to Yao Beasts, which is why Yao Beast attacks on the Human Race are so common.
However, among Human Race Cultivators, such behavior is considered evil cultivation...
"Stop!"
Just as the Nine Nether Undying Dragon was about to open its mouth to turn Xiao Lie and Su Bai, the two princes, into belly-fillers, a voice suddenly rang out.
In the blink of an eye, two elderly men, dressed in black and white robes, appeared and shielded Xiao Lie and Su Bai.
The might of a Quasi-Emperor shocked the entire scene!
"Quasi-Emperors! They are Quasi-Emperors!"
"I told you, Tianlong City is a mixed bag, how could the two princes come alone without Dao Protectors by their side? It's just that the background of these two Dao Protectors is truly astonishing."
"Two Quasi-Emperors! Tsk tsk tsk, truly worthy of an Imperial Dynasty force!"
"I just wonder, two Human Race Quasi-Emperors against one Demon Emperor, who will win and who will lose."
"Most likely, they'll each take a step back, and nothing will happen."
...
After all, as a Great Emperor, Chen Qing's perception ability covered the entire city at all times, and he had long known of the existence of these two Quasi-Emperor Dao Protectors hidden in the dark.
If they had just stayed put and watched the show, Chen Qing wouldn't have done anything to them.
But they insisted on stepping out and protecting the people he wanted to kill, so Chen Qing didn't mind having a few more lives on his hands.
"Young friend, one should show mercy when possible, why be so ruthless?!" One of the Quasi-Emperors spoke.
The other Quasi-Emperor increased his pressure by a few points.
His intention was very clear: to intimidate Chen Qing, make him understand the stakes, and prevent him from going down a path of no return.
"Noisy!" Chen Qing raised his hand and lightly waved his fingertip.
Before anyone could react, the two formidable Quasi-Emperor powerhouses, who had been so majestic and disdainful just a moment ago, exploded with a bang, their Physical Bodies shattering into two blood mists, floating in the air.
...
The chattering voices immediately fell silent, a silence, a deathly silence.
They had imagined countless possibilities, but they had never expected Chen Qing to kill two Quasi-Emperors, nor would they have imagined that he could kill Quasi-Emperors with just a flick of his finger! And two of them at that!!
They couldn't help but wonder: Is a Quasi-Emperor so easy to kill?
Chen Qing took out the Seven Stars Saber and completely absorbed the blood Qi of the two Quasi-Emperors, causing another star on the saber's core to light up.
Now, he was only one star away from lighting up all seven sword stars.
"Dead, dead?" Xiao Lie was utterly distraught, his pupils shaking in his eye sockets.
He couldn't understand how the foundational powerhouses of the White Tiger Country could be instantly killed by Chen Qing with just a flick of his finger.
Su Bai was in no better state, also looking like he had lost most of his Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits, his Face ashen.
"Illusion! This must be an illusion!" Xiao Lie tried to comfort himself in this way.
But it couldn't change the fate of him and Su Bai being devoured by the Nine Nether Undying Dragon in the next moment.
With a roar, the Dragon's mouth opened, and a powerful suction directly caused their Physical Bodies to dissipate like smoke and dust, completely devoured!
After dealing with Su Bai and Xiao Lie, the Nine Nether Undying Dragon returned to where it came from, obediently awaiting Chen Qing's next summons.
Afterward, Chen Qing scanned everyone present. Without exception, those he looked at bowed their heads, not daring to struggle, obediently kneeling on the ground, trying their best to let Chen Qing know that they had absolutely no hostility towards him.
Absolutely none!
"Madam, let's go in."
"Okay."
Xia Qingyue placed her hand in Chen Qing's outstretched hand and walked with him into Tianji Auction City.
Leaving a crowd of powerful Cultivators and wealthy merchants kneeling outside the main gate, not daring to get up quickly.
On the other side.
Tianlong City, City Lord's Mansion.
Main Hall.
Through a scrying Magic Treasure, the City Lord and the person beside him watched everything that happened outside Tianji Auction City.
Taking a deep breath, it took a long time for City Lord Lin Tianlong to recover from the deep shock. He looked at the person beside him and asked, "Sir, what Realm do you think this person's cultivation is?"
***
Chapter 82: Medicine God Cauldron
The person being questioned by Lin Tianlong was none other than Zhao Tong, a Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse whom he had invited at great cost to sit in Tianlong City, ensuring it remained free from the ravages of war and could always maintain neutrality.
"To kill a Quasi-Emperor with a wave of his hand, plus having a Demon Emperor spirit pet—this cultivation level is infinitely close to, or perhaps already at, the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm!" Zhao Tong gave his assessment.
At least with his own strength as an old Quasi-Emperor, he could not do such a thing.
Let alone killing two Quasi-Emperors instantly, he couldn't even kill one.
"Peak Quasi-Emperor!" After realizing this, Lin Tianlong sucked in a sharp breath.
He said gratefully, "It is fortunate that I listened to your words earlier and did not step forward to protect the princes of those two kingdoms. Otherwise, I fear Tianlong City would no longer be called Tianlong City by now!"
He had a sense of having brushed shoulders with death; although nothing had happened, recalling it still made him feel a bone-chilling cold.
"When dealing with this person, one can only show respect. You must never become his enemy; otherwise, it will only lead to the disaster of being killed and your Sect being wiped out!" Zhao Tong warned.
"I will follow your instructions in everything." Even if Zhao Tong hadn't said so, Lin Tianlong had already thought the same.
Although he was arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to dare offend the strongest person below the Great Emperor.
He was convinced that the only person in this world who could kill Chen Qing was likely the Heavenly Profound Great Emperor.
And even that was not certain...
Lin Tianlong had a premonition that a new Great Emperor era was about to begin!
Returning to Tianji Auction City.
After learning of Chen Qing's formidable strength, City Lord Zhao Wenxuan personally came out to welcome Chen Qing into the Heaven Number One VIP box.
He even personally fetched spirit tea, brewed it, and served it to Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue with both hands.
The four words "the strong are supreme" were vividly demonstrated by Zhao Wenxuan at this moment.
It was just a pity that the ten supreme treasures provided by the Supreme Auction today all came from the Ten Great Auction Houses and had little to do with Zhao Wenxuan; he was merely lending his venue.
Otherwise, Zhao Wenxuan would definitely have offered those treasures for free, striving to climb this great tree that was Chen Qing.
He knew very well that for a top-tier powerhouse like Chen Qing, a casual word could protect him and the entire Tianji Auction City for eternity!
After serving the two and seeing they had no other requests, Zhao Wenxuan left the box after saying, "Do not hesitate to give orders if you need anything."
"What fragrant tea!" Xia Qingyue took a sip; it tasted even more fragrant upon entering her mouth.
"If you like it, Madam, I will go have him prepare some, and we can pack it to take with us later," Chen Qing said.
"No need, the tea at home is also quite good," Xia Qingyue said, indicating it was no trouble.
Chen Qing's meticulous care made her feel flattered.
Little did she know, more flattering events were yet to come.
Chen Qing had said before that he would bid for the ten supreme treasures for her, and it was by no means a joke.
Even if it meant exhausting his family fortune, he had to bid for all of them!
Such a good opportunity to farm treasures must not be missed.
Soon, the Auctioneer walked onto the stage and began to say some warm-up words.
According to the original plan, the auction was not supposed to start for a while longer.
However, Chen Qing's appearance made everyone dare not be negligent, so they directly advanced the time.
Compared to others, it was clearly more worthwhile to look forward to and curry favor with a supreme powerhouse like Chen Qing, who could both spend money like water and kill a Quasi-Emperor with a wave of his hand.
After speaking a few simple words, the Auctioneer announced that the once-in-a-decade Supreme Auction had officially begun!
The first item placed on the stage was a Heaven Rank Medium Grade Pill Furnace named the Heaven Origin Furnace. Not only did it have a large capacity and its own exotic fire, but it could also increase the probability of successfully forming pills...
As soon as this furnace appeared, the discussions immediately became boisterous.
"It is truly worthy of being the Supreme Auction held only once every ten years; the first auction item is already a Heaven Rank Medium Grade!"
"This Heaven Origin Furnace is among the top 100 on the Pill Furnace Ranking. If I recall correctly, it is ranked 79th!"
"I wonder who this precious furnace will eventually fall to?"
"The first item is already so exciting; I am looking forward to the treasures to come even more."
Especially those Alchemists, their eyes were redder than one another, and their hearts were more excited than one another.
They were convinced that as long as they could bid for this Heaven Origin Furnace, their status in the world of Alchemists would surely rise to the next level!
After introducing the many wonders of the Heaven Origin Furnace, the Auctioneer immediately announced the starting bid, "The starting bid is ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"I bid thirty million!"
"I bid fifty million!"
"I bid sixty-five million!"
The speed of this bidding was far more intense than yesterday.
The financial power of the guests who came was far more terrifying than yesterday.
In the blink of an eye, the price had gone from the initial ten million High-Grade Spirit Stones to two hundred million.
Chen Qing had just finished a cup of tea. He set the cup aside, felt the timing was about right, and leisurely uttered, "One billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Two hundred and fifty million..." The words on the tip of their tongue came to an abrupt halt, and their smiles vanished in an instant.
And those wealthy merchants and Sect Elders who had originally been weighing the pros and cons and calculating carefully all raised their heads in unison, looking towards the Heaven Number One VIP box on the second floor.
"Did I hear that right? How much? One billion High-Grade Spirit Stones?"
"You did indeed hear wrong."
"I see, I knew it, how could it be..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other person added, "Don't misunderstand, when I said you heard wrong, I meant you mistook Top-Grade Spirit Stones for High-Grade Spirit Stones."
"..." Silence.
"One billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, going once!"
"One billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, going twice!"
"One billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, going three times! Let us congratulate the VIP in Box Number One again, again, and again for successfully bidding on this Heaven Origin Furnace."
That's right, the Auctioneer in charge of this auction was the same one from yesterday.
She hadn't reacted in time and had confused today's auction with yesterday's.
"Again, again, and again? Isn't this only the first item?" Someone asked, puzzled.
They immediately learned from the guests who had attended yesterday's auction about Chen Qing's magnificent feat from the previous day.
Facing such a wealthy, powerful, and capable person, how could they dare to complain? They were convinced in words, and even more convinced in their hearts.
Having given one billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he secured the Heaven Origin Furnace.
Chen Qing immediately indicated that this Heaven Origin Furnace was a gift for Xia Qingyue.
"This, how can this be? Husband is an Alchemist and is more suited for this Pill Furnace than I am," Xia Qingyue declined politely.
Chen Qing immediately followed up, "Madam, there is no need to refuse; I have a better one."
"Furthermore, I plan to teach you Alchemy after some time. Having such a Pill Furnace will make it much more convenient."
"Then... alright." Since Chen Qing had spoken to this extent, Xia Qingyue thought about it for a moment and no longer refused.
She was indeed very interested in Alchemy.
Secondly, thinking about how Chen Qing had worked hard to refine so many Medicinal Pills for her, she also wanted to refine Medicinal Pills for him after learning Alchemy.
Simply taking unilaterally was not Xia Qingyue's style; a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring!
[Wife-pampering successful! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a random reward: Medicine God Cauldron!]
Originally, Chen Qing saying he had a better Pill Furnace than the Heaven Origin Furnace was just an excuse to let Xia Qingyue accept it with peace of mind.
But now, he really had one!
The Medicine God Cauldron, Heaven Rank Top Grade, was ranked first on the Pill Furnace Ranking.
Known as a legendary Pill Furnace, one could only learn some fragmented information about it from ancient books, and whether it truly existed had once sparked controversy.
Thanks to Chen Qing, this controversy was now gone.
***
Chapter 83: Spending Billions! Crazy Treasure Hunt
'My wife has the Heaven Origin Furnace, and I have the Medicine King Cauldron; we both have bright futures!'
Chen Qing joked inwardly, putting away the Medicine King Cauldron.
After this incident, he couldn't help but look forward even more to what pleasant returns the next nine supreme treasures would bring him.
The auction city was very efficient, not daring to delay even a moment. If they wanted to delay, the Ten Great Auction Houses wouldn't allow it.
Having witnessed Chen Qing's terrifying financial power, they all hoped he would take a liking to the supreme treasures they had brought and spend a fortune to buy them.
One hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, even if they were given a hundred years, they might not be able to earn that much.
Such a major client must be held onto with all their might!
Some even directly ordered their subordinates to prepare extra gifts outside of the planned items, to be presented along with the others later.
Though called gifts, their actual quality wasn't low.
Even so, in front of the figure of one hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, they still seemed cheap, merely to show sincerity.
Under the Auctioneer's introduction, everyone learned that the second auctioned item was named Primordial Azure Sky Sword, Heaven Rank High Grade…
As soon as the Auctioneer finished her introduction, before she could even announce the starting price, Chen Qing's voice echoed throughout the entire hall, "One hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones."
He was focused on quick completion, quickly acquiring the ten supreme treasures to receive the pet-wife rewards.
"..."
A simple sentence once again silenced everyone.
Let alone one hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, even one hundred billion High-Grade Spirit Stones, they wouldn't have the confidence to bid against him.
If they really did, they knew it would only result in Chen Qing offering an even more exaggerated figure than one hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
At that point, rather than whether they could acquire the Primordial Azure Sky Sword, they would be more worried about whether Chen Qing would resent them.
The matter of Chen Qing instantly killing two quasi-Emperor powerhouses and enslaving a Demon Emperor as a spirit pet had, through others' mouths, become known to more and more people.
They couldn't compete with his money, nor could they compete with his strength, so they could only choose to keep silent.
"One hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones, going once, twice, three times! Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Private Room Number One for successfully acquiring this Primordial Azure Sky Sword!"
The result was, as expected, Chen Qing acquiring the Primordial Azure Sky Sword.
The moment he received the sword, Chen Qing immediately gifted it to Xia Qingyue.
"Husband, this…" Xia Qingyue had just received the Heaven Origin Furnace, and now she had an additional Heaven Rank High Grade divine sword in her hand, making it hard not to be bewildered.
She then realized,'So what Husband said earlier, that he would buy all ten supreme treasures and give them to me, wasn't a joke!'
"My wife wouldn't want me to become someone who doesn't keep his word, would you?" Chen Qing asked.
"Then… thank you, Husband." Xia Qingyue clearly understood that Chen Qing said this to put her at ease about accepting the Primordial Azure Sky Sword, so she simply stopped refusing.
Everything was up to Chen Qing! She would just accept whatever he gave her; why think so much?
In her heart, she couldn't help but imagine Chen Qing wearing this Heavenly Silkworm Robe…
She covered her face and let out a soft laugh.
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Nine-Tailed Fox Immortal Bloodline!]
'Nine-Tailed Fox Immortal Bloodline?'
Nine-tailed fox, with the word 'immortal' attached, Chen Qing knew without thinking how powerful this Bloodline was.
Without a moment's hesitation, he directly bound it.
At the same time, the third auctioned item was placed on the stage.
It was a soft armor specifically for women, named Heavenly Silkworm Robe, renowned among defensive Magic Treasures.
"One hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones," Chen Qing said calmly.
As if these one hundred billion Top-Grade Spirit Stones were not worth mentioning to him at all.
And indeed, that was the case.
Seeing this, the Auctioneer no longer had the heart to ask if anyone present wanted to bid, and with a quick flick of her tongue, she swiftly completed the process and announced Chen Qing had acquired the Heavenly Silkworm Robe.
"I truly have no use for this Heavenly Silkworm Robe, so please accept it, my wife."
"Okay." Xia Qingyue dutifully accepted the Heavenly Silkworm Robe, unknowingly helping Chen Qing more efficiently farm pet-wife rewards.
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Heaven Demon Battle Armor +1!]
A top-tier defensive Magic Treasure exchanged for a defensive Magic Treasure that did not exist in the history of the Sky Profound Continent, surpassing Heaven Rank, and could be called a divine armor—Chen Qing made a solid profit.
Afterward, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh…
Without exception, all were acquired by Chen Qing for tens of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
The entire Supreme Auction became an event solely for him.
All ten supreme treasures, not a single one left, were given by Chen Qing to Xia Qingyue to farm pet-wife rewards.
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Heaven Rank Top Grade Spiritual Root ten consecutive draws opportunity +1!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random skill reward: One Top-Grade Spirit Stone rewarded per breath!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Myriad Dao Immortal Physique! Three Thousand Physiques Ranking: 1!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Emperor-level Shadow Puppet +1!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Dao Comprehension Tree +1!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack +1!]
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for receiving a random reward: Epiphany count +100!]
Looking at all these rewards, Chen Qing could only say that this trip to the Tianji Auction was truly worthwhile.
All were top-grade rewards!
He immediately selected the Heaven Rank Top Grade Spiritual Root ten consecutive draws opportunity and confirmed the draw!
[Performing ten consecutive draws...]
[Ten consecutive draws successful! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Heaven Rank Top Grade Water Spiritual Root! Heaven Rank Top Grade Wood Spiritual Root! Heaven Rank Top Grade Lightning Spiritual Root! Heaven Rank Top Grade Wind Spiritual Root…]
Not only did it easily complete all attributes of Heaven Rank Top Grade Spiritual Root talent for Chen Qing, but it also saved a few extra, which could be given to Xia Qingyue.
Myriad Dao Immortal Physique, ranked first on the Three Thousand Physiques list? Directly bound!
The Emperor-level Shadow Puppet joined Chen Qing's Shadow Puppet army.
As for the Dao Comprehension Tree? Chen Qing checked the detailed description; after planting this item, it would bear Dao Comprehension Fruits, which, when eaten, could grant random Epiphanies.
This was completely different from Epiphany counts, which allowed one to comprehend whatever they wished.
The advantage was that the Dao Comprehension Tree would remain evergreen and continuously produce fruits, unlike Epiphany counts, which were gone once used up.
"..."
In contrast, Xia Qingyue, despite having prepared herself mentally, still couldn't help but fall into shock and couldn't extricate herself when all ten supreme treasures truly fell into her hands.
Looking back at the distinguished guests on the first floor who had come to attend the Supreme Auction, they were only gradually recovering from the shock Chen Qing had brought.
"One hundred billion for one, so ten would be one trillion Top-Grade Spirit Stones… It's truly too exaggerated…"
"What's even more exaggerated is that after spending one trillion to acquire those treasures, he gave them all to the woman beside him."
"I heard him refer to that woman as his wife."
"Not only is she peerlessly beautiful, and already a quasi-Emperor at such a young age, but he is also so doting on his wife. How come I can't meet such an excellent man?"
"Excellent? No, he's too perfect! Absolutely perfect!"
...
They chatted among themselves, but Chen Qing's attention was not on this; instead, he was intently staring at the Emperor Cultivation Experience Pack in his System backpack.
He then glanced at Xia Qingyue.
He seemed to be deep in thought.
***
Chapter 84 The Supreme Emperor
Originally, Chen Qing had planned to give this Great Emperor Realm cultivation experience pack to Xia Qingyue as well, to help her directly Ascend to the Great Emperor Realm.
However, after a second thought, he abandoned this idea.
The reason was simple and twofold: first, Xia Qingyue was not bound to the System, and if she were to forcibly use this experience pack to Ascend to the Great Emperor Realm, there was no guarantee she wouldn't be affected by the Heavenly Dao order: "There can only be one Great Emperor in a single world."
Secondly, the Great Emperor Realm cultivation experience pack was originally a pet-wife reward that was brushed out and could not trigger the reward standard a second time. If it was given away, it was truly given away.
After weighing his options, Chen Qing felt it was better to use it himself.
If Xia Qingyue truly wanted to Ascend to the Great Emperor Realm, directly imparting his cultivation to her would be more convenient.
[Using Great Emperor Realm cultivation experience pack...]
[Great Emperor Realm cultivation experience pack used successfully! Host's current Realm: Supreme Great Emperor!]
'Supreme Great Emperor? A Realm above the Great Emperor Realm!'
Chen Qing couldn't recall the term "Supreme Great Emperor" being mentioned in the original Cultivator Ranks of the Profound Heaven Continent.
The reason it wasn't mentioned was, of course, not because they didn't want to, but because looking back through history, those who could advance to the Great Emperor Realm were already few and far between, let alone breaking through to a Realm above the Great Emperor Realm.
For Chen Qing, it was an unexpected gain.
As for the remaining few Heaven Rank Top-Grade Spiritual Roots, Chen Qing planned to give them to Xia Qingyue after leaving Tianlong City and returning to the Great Wu Dynasty.
There were too many people here, and it was not suitable for refining and absorbing Spiritual Roots.
As soon as Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue stepped out of their private room, they were stopped by Zhao Wenxuan, City Lord, the City Master of Tianji Auction City, who had been waiting outside the door.
"Two esteemed sirs, the Ten Great Auction Houses have prepared a small gift to thank you for your strong support. Please grace us with your presence," Zhao Wenxuan, City Lord explained his intention.
When others wanted to offer treasures to increase his chances of getting rewards, Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue naturally accepted them without hesitation.
They let Zhao Wenxuan, City Lord lead the way to...
Just at this moment.
Outside Tianji Auction City.
A flying boat engraved with the Qingteng Sect totem arrived late.
"It's all those guys from the Han Yue Sect! If they hadn't kept pestering us, we would have arrived in Tianlong City much earlier. Master, when we return to the Sect, we absolutely cannot let them off!" Lin Ruoxue said angrily.
Her Master, Lü Lan, shared her thoughts and felt it was time to completely resolve the grievances between the two Sects.
However, before that, attending the Supreme Auction was more important to them.
The two got off the flying boat and arrived at the entrance of Tianji Auction City.
Lin Ruoxue thought to herself, 'Those who can come to the Supreme Auction must be of noble or wealthy status. Perhaps I can meet a good man?'
She didn't ask for someone even one percent as good as Chen Qing, who had refused her Dual Cultivation treasure body that day; even one-thousandth would satisfy her.
"Strange, Master, hasn't this Supreme Auction just started? Why are they all coming out already?" Lin Ruoxue's attention was drawn, and she asked in confusion.
Lü Lan shook her head, signaling Lin Ruoxue to go find someone to inquire about the situation.
Lin Ruoxue nodded, walked forward, found a young Cultivator who looked quite handsome, and asked, "Fellow Daoist, please stop. May I ask you a question?"
"Ask away." The young Cultivator had intended to refuse, but after sizing up Lin Ruoxue, he immediately changed his attitude.
"Isn't the Supreme Auction still ongoing? Why have you all left early?" If Lin Ruoxue remembered correctly, the Supreme Auction ten years ago had lasted three days and three nights as various parties competed for treasures.
"Ongoing?" The young Cultivator chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "You're late. The Supreme Auction has already ended."
"Ended? How did it end?" Lin Ruoxue pressed.
"Of course, all ten supreme treasures were bought by someone. How else would it end?" The young Cultivator thought this question was silly.
"Ah? So fast? Who were the important figures who bought them?" Lin Ruoxue asked again.
"The one who bought all ten supreme treasures was the same person. As for his name, I don't know, I only know that he is extraordinarily powerful. He not only killed the princes of the White Tiger Country and the Black Tortoise Country but also instantly killed their quasi-Emperor Dao Protectors with a single move."
Before Lin Ruoxue could be surprised, she heard the young Cultivator say, "Not only that, he also has a hundred-thousand-year-old Dragon Clan Demon Emperor under his command."
"Never mind, I won't talk to you anymore. I still have things to do, so I'll be going first." The young Cultivator bid farewell to Lin Ruoxue, rushing back to his Sect to truthfully report what had happened in Tianji Auction City today to the Sect Master and various Elders.
After recovering, Lin Ruoxue returned to Lü Lan, "Master, you heard it all, didn't you?"
"Mm." Lü Lan replied, "I didn't expect such an important figure to be among those visiting Tianlong City this time."
"Master, do you think if I actively reveal that I possess a Dual Cultivation treasure body, that important figure would be willing to take me in?" Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but fantasize.
She had missed Chen Qing before, and this time, she didn't want to miss out again!
Looking at her proud disciple, who had once vowed never to curry favor with men using her Dual Cultivation treasure body, now completely changed, Lü Lan, as her Master, found it hard to say anything to her.
On the other side, after Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue accepted the treasures offered by the Ten Great Auction Houses, they chatted for a bit before bidding farewell and leaving.
As soon as they left the room, Chen Qing immediately gifted those ten treasures to Xia Qingyue for brushing rewards.
[Pet-wife successful! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a random reward: Hundred-Fold Cultivation Space + 1!]
Chen Qing briefly read the description, which plainly stated that entering this cultivation space would grant a hundred-fold cultivation speed beyond the outside world! Spiritual Qi would be limitless!
Now, there was no need to impart cultivation to Xia Qingyue to help her Breakthrough to the Great Emperor Realm.
Just letting her enter the Hundred-Fold Cultivation Space to Cultivate, with Xia Qingyue's talent, achieving the Great Emperor Realm? It was only a matter of time.
Subsequently, Zhao Wenxuan, City Lord also eagerly followed them out of the room, saying he wanted to see them off.
Chen Qing and Xia Qingyue exchanged glances, giving him Face, and did not refuse.
However, they hadn't walked far when they ran into two people who were neither very familiar nor completely strangers.
It was the Qingteng Sect Master and disciple who had been inquiring and searching for Chen Qing throughout the Auction City.
"It's him?!"
"It's her?!"
Xia Qingyue and Lin Ruoxue recognized each other almost simultaneously.
'Wait! Those people just now said that the one who killed the princes, annihilated the quasi-Emperors, and spent hundreds of billions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones to sweep the Supreme Auction, couldn't possibly be him, could it?!'
A terrifying thought couldn't help but emerge in Lin Ruoxue's mind.
"The person next to them, if I'm not mistaken, should be Zhao Wenxuan, City Lord, the City Master of Tianji Auction City." Lü Lan's words indirectly confirmed Lin Ruoxue's thought.
"Master, could it be..." Lin Ruoxue hesitated.
"I think you've guessed correctly." Lü Lan proactively spoke, agreeing with Lin Ruoxue's inner thoughts.
