Chen Qingfeng: ???

What does 'explode just by looking at it' mean?

This is exactly what 'explode just by looking at it' means!

Damn it!

Fortunately, I haven't acquired any Cultivation yet; otherwise, I would be in debt before even starting to earn.

"Someone else is here!"

"It's Lu Shaojie!"

"Lu Shaojie of Eight Treasures Peak!"

"And Qi Chunshan of Qiqing Peak!"

"Zhu Zi of Wuping Peak!"

Suddenly.

As the teleportation array once again shimmered with light, three young men appeared at the entrance of the auction house.

Exclamations erupted everywhere.

Above the entire auction house's Peak, a wave of restless commotion suddenly arose.

Lu Shaojie!

The son of the Eight Treasures Peak Master!

One of the Prodigies in the top one hundred of Tianyi Sect's Heaven's Pride Ranking!

Five years ago.

With the help of his father's Sect Elder token, he activated the Heaven's Pride Ranking and directly entered the eighth floor of the Altar of Heaven, successfully making it into the top one hundred of the Heaven's Pride Ranking, ranking ninety-eighth!

Qi Chunshan!

A Personal Disciple of the Qiqing Peak Master!

One of the top one hundred in Tianyi Sect's Heaven's Pride Ranking.

Five years ago.

He activated the Heaven's Pride Ranking with Lu Shaojie; Lu Shaojie successfully broke into the seventh floor of the Altar of Heaven, while he directly entered the eighth floor.

Ultimately.

He successfully made it onto the Heaven's Pride Ranking, securing the eightieth position!

And to speak of the strongest.

That would be Zhu Zi!

One of Tianyi Sect's most talented Sword Cultivator Disciples!

One of the Wuping Peak Master's three Personal Disciples!

His Sword Dao attainments are outstanding.

At just over twenty years old, he has already comprehended as many as five kinds of Sword Intent.

Five years ago.

He, Lu Shaojie, and Qi Chunshan activated the Altar of Heaven's Heaven's Pride Ranking together. Lu Shaojie spent seven hours to barely reach the seventh floor.

Qi Chunshan spent five hours, finally stopping at the eighth floor.

As for him.

He only spent three hours, clearing all the way through and successfully breaking into the ninth floor of the Altar of Heaven.

The appearance of these three genuinely surprised the people in the auction house.

After all.

Although the items being auctioned today were rare, they were all possessions belonging to Pill Cultivators, Array Cultivators, and Artifact Cultivators.

They didn't seem to fit their Cultivation categories.

"Is it for those two Advanced Artifact Refining Materials?"

"Or for that Advanced Array Refining Material?"

"They are one Sword Cultivator and two pure Spirit Cultivators; how would they know anything about Artifact Refining or Array Refining?"

"Besides, Eight Treasures Peak and Qiqing Peak have better resources than each other; why would they need to come to an auction for Advanced Materials?"

Everyone couldn't help but discuss, all curious about the purpose of Lu Shaojie and the other two coming here.

"Senior Sister Su, long time no see!"

"I wonder if you still remember our previous agreement? If I found the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma for you, you would agree to be my Dao Companion."

"I wonder if that still counts now?"

Stepping into the auction house.

Lu Shaojie and the other two didn't hesitate, walking directly towards Su Meier's direction.

Su Meier!

A Personal Disciple of Dayan Peak.

Her Cultivation is at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Rumor has it.

She had already successfully Advanced to the Peak of Foundation Establishment ten years ago, but due to being unable to Core Formation for a long time, she had been stuck at this Realm Bottleneck.

Later.

Out of sheer helplessness, she could only choose a Dao Companion, hoping to Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Peak's shackles and step into the Core Formation Realm in one go.

But unfortunately.

Heaven often doesn't grant people's wishes.

She found a Dao Companion, and the contract was formed, but before they could even begin, her Senior Brother died directly during an outdoor mission.

Ultimately.

Su Meier could only place her sole hope on the Solidifying Yuan Pill, refined from liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma.

And she put out the word.

Whoever could find the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma for her, helping her step into Core Formation, she would form a Dao Companion relationship with them.

Therefore.

Today's auction.

Although it gathered hundreds of Tianyi Sect Disciples.

Almost half of them came for Su Meier.

"I naturally still remember what I said before!"

"However, many people today are here for the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma, and most of them are determined to get them. Junior Brother Lu, although you are the Young Master of Eight Treasures Peak, it doesn't necessarily mean you will definitely get the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma."

Su Meier's purple robes fluttered.

Making her appear ethereal and otherworldly, like a goddess from the Nine Heavens.

Proud!

Amidst her pride, there was also a hint of charm.

Just like her name, her temperament was noble and elegant, making her appear sacred and inviolable, yet the aura deep within her bones carried an inherent charm.

This was due to her Innate Charm Physique!

"Senior Sister Su really knows how to joke. When this Young Master makes a move, how can anyone else have a chance? Although many people came to today's auction house, at first glance, they are all crooked melons and cracked dates, insignificant ants."

"My Eight Treasures Peak has nothing but Spirit Stones; whoever dares to compete with me for the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma, this Young Master will directly smash them with Spirit Stones until they doubt life."

"So, Senior Sister Su, just be prepared, prepared for me to win the liuli flower and spirit-suppressing ganoderma in one go and become my Dao Companion!"

As he spoke.

Lu Shaojie smiled slightly, his eyes sweeping over Su Meier's graceful and exquisite figure, a hint of lustful evil light appearing in his eyes.

Everyone said that Lu Shaojie of Eight Treasures Peak was a scoundrel.

Seeing him today.

He was indeed a scoundrel.

Compared to him, Li Fengyun was as pure as a greenhorn.

"Then let's talk about it after you get them!"

Su Meier furrowed her delicate brows, turned coldly, and directly in front of Lu Shaojie and the other two, found an empty spot in the large auction house and sat down alone.

"So, she also thought I came to be her Dao Companion?"

No wonder I was in debt for five points of 'Heart Favorability' just by looking.

Presumably.

Yin Rushuang and Tong Shuyao also thought he was a lecher like everyone else for this reason.

"Fellow Disciples, welcome to the Trading Hall's auction house!"

"Today's auction has a total of six items, which I believe all of you have already learned about."

"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more words."

"For all items in this auction, the highest bidder wins!"

"The first auction item is a restricted-level illusion recently released by the Sect. It is a situational enactment lasting half an hour, with only one viewing left. It is one of the few high-quality illusions among all those recently released!!!"

"The starting bid for this round is: Two thousand Spirit Stones —"

In an instant.

As the Elder in charge of the Trading Hall appeared.

The entire auction house immediately fell silent.

The Tianyi Sect Disciples present all found seats and sat down, preparing for the auction of items.

"Restricted-level illusion?"

"That's a treasure!"

"Although there's only one viewing left, it's still a rare and valuable item that's hard to find on the market."

"Besides, even the Elder in charge said it's a high-quality illusion among all those recently released, so it must be exciting!"

"I bid two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!"

Immediately.

Amidst a flurry of whispered discussions, one of the Tianyi Sect Disciples was the first to shout out the opening bid!
