190: Chapter 190 Participating in the Auction

Xu Yuehuan put down her teacup and stood up to gently bow.

Her personality was aloof; she only nodded indifferently, though a trace of imperceptible vigilance flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Liu Ruyan was much more lively. She skipped forward, took Lin Xueying's hand, and smiled, saying,

"Sister Xueying, I often hear Baili Yunche mention you, saying that you are both beautiful and powerful. Seeing you today, it truly lives up to the reputation!"

Lin Xueying looked at the two women with vastly different styles before her and smiled slightly,

"Younger Sister Yuehuan, Younger Sister Ruyan, from now on we are one family, so please take care of me."

The three women looked at each other, and a subtle tension filled the air, but it was quickly defused by Baili Yunche's wisecracks.

"Xueying, I didn't expect that after just two months of not seeing you, you actually broke through to the second layer of the Nascent Soul Stage! The Nine Yin Meridians are truly terrifying to this extent!"

Baili Yunche looked Lin Xueying up and down, a trace of shock flashing in his eyes.

He could sense that the Nascent Soul inside her had condensed to the size of an infant's fist, emitting a cold, faint glow, and her aura was several times thicker than it was two months ago.

"At this rate, you can completely break through to the Soul Transformation Stage before turning thirty!"

Baili Yunche praised sincerely while secretly rejoicing in his heart.

With Lin Xueying's Breakthrough to the second layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, that Nine Yin Qi became increasingly pure and rich.

If they engaged in Dual Cultivation tonight and borrowed that ultimate chilling power to impact the Golden Core barrier, the probability of him breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage would also be extremely high!

Thinking of this, he wished he could immediately push Lin Xueying into the room.

His eyeballs suddenly rolled, and he leaned into the three women's ears, lowering his voice with a mischievous smile, saying,

"Hehehe! Taking advantage of Xueying coming over today, let's play something a bit different!"

Finishing his sentence, he prepared to scoop up all three women together and stride toward the bedroom.

"Wait!"

Lin Xueying quickly interrupted and grabbed his ear.

Her earlobes turned slightly red, and a trace of helplessness flashed through her beautiful eyes,

"We'll talk about this matter later. I came here now to take you to attend an auction!"

"An auction?"

Baili Yunche was stunned. With his ear being pinched, he tilted his head and asked.

"Mmm-hmm! This time, the imperial capital has basically gathered nearly ninety percent of the high-level Cultivators of the Cangxuan Empire."

"Whether it is the Four Great Sects or the Four Great Families, even the royal family has come."

"In order to seize the peak of this traffic flow, our Wanbao Pavilion has specially held an unprecedentedly large-scale auction!"

Lin Xueying explained with a hint of solemnity in her tone,

"It is said that at this auction, quite a few treasures that even Soul Transformation Stage old monsters would be tempted by will appear."

"I estimate that the Sect Master of your Xuanyang Sect has also participated; it's just that you Disciples don't know about it!"

"Oh! Let's go, Baili Yunche, let's go take a look and broaden our horizons!"

Liu Ruyan instantly became interested. She was naturally a lively character, and her beautiful eyes were sparkling, full of yearning.

Xu Yuehuan also put down her teacup and said indifferently,

"An auction of this scale is indeed rare."

"Even if we don't buy anything, going to broaden our horizons will be beneficial to future cultivation."

Baili Yunche pondered for a moment, swept his gaze across the faces of the three women one by one, and then smiled, saying,

"Since that is the case, how could I, Baili Yunche, have the heart to refuse the request of three beauties?"

"Let's go! Let's all go take a look and see what treasures are at the auction!"

As he spoke, he casually patted Lin Xueying's plump buttocks, producing a crisp sound.

"Let's go!"

"Rake!"

Lin Xueying gave a coy snort, her pretty face blushing bright red, but she wasn't truly angry. She just moved with dainty steps and followed behind.

When Baili Yunche led the three women walking down the main street, they instantly attracted countless gazes.

Those three were all peerless beauties—one as aloof as the moon, one as lively as flames, and one as plump as snow. Each had their own unique charm, yet all of them leaned close to the side of that cyan-robed man.

The Cultivators on the street stopped one after another, their eyes filled with jealousy and envy.

"Look at that kid, who is he?"

"What the fuck?! What kind of dogshit luck did that kid step into! He can actually walk alongside three Fairies!"

"Dammit! Give me even just one of them!"

Everyone wished they could replace Baili Yunche, and the resentment in their eyes almost condensed into substance.

Afterwards, Baili Yunche and the three women arrived in front of Wanbao Pavilion.

Located at the end of the most prosperous Vermilion Bird Street in the imperial capital, Wanbao Pavilion was a magnificent giant building towering nine stories high, covering an area of a full thousand zhang in radius.

The entire pavilion was built on a foundation of millennial profound spar, and its outer walls were inlaid with countless glazed jewels, refracting seven-colored rays of light in the setting sun like an immortal palace descending to the mortal world.

Above the main entrance hung a huge gilded plaque inscribed with three ancient seal script characters reading "Wanbao Pavilion".

The brushstrokes were as vigorous as dragons and snakes, containing a hint of Dao rhythm that instilled awe in those who looked at it.

Above the square in front of the building, it was already a sea of people.

Cultivators from the Four Great Sects, the Four Great Families, the royal family, and countless Loose Cultivators gathered here, shoulder to shoulder, with a clamor that shook the heavens.

Some wore luxurious garments and were arrogant;

Some were travel-worn with eager gazes;

There were also quite a few mysterious Cultivators with concealed faces and deep auras, clearly mighty figures who were unwilling to expose their identities.

On both sides of the huge vermilion-lacquered main entrance stood eight guards dressed in dark armor.

Every single one of them had a stern expression and an abyss-like aura, and their cultivation base was at least the Nascent Soul Stage!

Looking across the entire Cangxuan Empire, only Wanbao Pavilion could pull off such a grand gesture.

"How lively!"

Liu Ruyan excitedly tugged at Baili Yunche's sleeve, her beautiful eyes looking around.

"We're not going to queue up with them. We'll take the VIP passageway!"

Lin Xueying smiled slightly and led the three of them walking toward the side door under everyone's gaze.

There was a passageway paved with a red carpet, with more dark-armored guards standing on both sides.

"Young Miss!"

When the guards at the entrance saw Lin Xueying, they all bowed and saluted, their attitude extremely respectful.

Lin Xueying nodded lightly and then led Baili Yunche and the others straight inside.

The guard leader scratched his head, feeling puzzled inwardly: How could their Young Miss bring three Golden Core Cultivators to take the VIP passageway?

However, as for the Young Miss's affairs, he naturally didn't dare to ask rashly.

"Who are those four people? Their background is actually so big?! They're actually taking the VIP passageway directly!"

"Idiot, didn't you hear that guard say Young Miss just now?"

"The female Cultivator at the lead is the daughter of Wanbao Pavilion; naturally, she has the qualifications to take the VIP passageway!"

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Behind them, the queuing crowd was chattering endlessly, their eyes filled with envy and curiosity.

Listening to the discussions behind him, Baili Yunche's mouth curved up slightly. He put his arms around the waists of the three women and strode into the gates of Wanbao Pavilion.

A rich and mellow Spiritual Qi rushed towards their faces, as if they had entered another world.
