After returning home, Su Chen looked at the lake formed from the massive crater left behind by the God War. It seemed like a good spot for the future God King's Palace.

With the God King Palace standing before it, this could be considered the beginnings of the imperial city of the Spirit Hall Empire.

One day, there would be only one empire left on this Douluo Continent!

But such a vast empire still needed money to maintain it, and to put it bluntly, Su Chen was currently broke-ass.

But Su Chen had so many immortal herbs. Selling a few at random would do—any one of those herbs could fetch a considerable sum.

It seemed that the Star Luo Empire would soon be holding a huge auction. Apparently, the reason it had become so popular was because the War God Dai Mubai would be attending!

To ordinary people, gods were beings worthy of worship. Now that they had a chance to glimpse a god's true appearance, naturally countless people came to join in.

Who knew what had gotten into Dai Mubai? He insisted on making his presence known. If there really was something there that he needed, he only had to say the word, and someone would probably eagerly deliver it to him.

He was probably too bored and had come out to seek attention and show off.

Su Chen was also preparing to go back and dig up some herbs. With so many immortal herbs, he had to pick through them properly!

Inside the God King Palace, Hu Liena said excitedly, "Xue'er! Let's go out and have fun with Su Chen too!"

Having finally gotten such a good chance to go out and play, Hu Liena did not want to let it slip away. She had been staying around the God King Palace all this time and was nearly bored to death.

Qian Renxue also looked at Su Chen and asked sweetly, "Su Chen, can we go too~?"

In truth, Qian Renxue was still afraid of causing Su Chen trouble. After all, her and Hu Liena's identities...

Su Chen replied directly, "Of course! Why couldn't you?"

"Yay!"

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Hu Liena could not help crying out in delight!

They could finally go out and have fun!

Thus, the three of them began choosing immortal herbs.

"Ah, that ugly one—let's sell that one," Hu Liena said first.

"Sell it!"

"Ah, I accidentally stepped on this one, so let's sell it too," Qian Renxue said, sticking out her tongue. She had not done it on purpose.

"Sell it!"

"Sell that completely green immortal herb too. It's all green and glossy—I don't like it!"

After making their final decision, Su Chen took a full five immortal herbs this time!

Some were fifty-thousand-year herbs, while others were Hundred-Thousand-Year herbs.

There were still so, so many in his backyard anyway. He could never use them all.

After packing up the herbs, Su Chen set off with the two women!

They headed for the Star Luo Empire!

Star Luo City, As the capital of the Star Luo Empire, it was extremely prosperous. Especially after the God War ended and Spirit Hall's resources were completely divided up, the two great empires had grown even stronger.

At this moment, Star Luo City was packed with people. People from all directions had rushed here, hoping to catch a glimpse of a god's true appearance!

Su Chen and the other two headed straight for the largest auction house in Star Luo City.

Qian Renxue and Hu Liena had both covered their peerless faces with thin veils, concealing them slightly.

Even with their faces hidden, their devilish figures and exceptional bearing still drew countless glances. If looks could kill, Su Chen might already have been killed tens of millions of times.

Murderous gazes were truly terrifying!

The Temir Auction House was the largest auction venue in the Star Luo Empire. It belonged to the Temir Family, the wealthiest family in the Star Luo Empire.

(I really couldn't think of a name~ Everyone can leave your own suggestions in the comments!)

Backed by the powerful Star Luo Imperial Family, the Temir Family had grown increasingly stronger over the past few years. Though the auction house's profits were enough to make anyone envious, no one dared set their sights on it.

Security outside was airtight. Without an invitation, even a mosquito would probably get slapped twice before being allowed in.

But this was very simple for Su Chen. He came to a corner, opened a Space Gate, and the three of them entered the auction house directly.

Looking at the three gleaming golden characters, "Treasure Appraisal Hall," Su Chen walked in without hesitation.

Inside, a man sat in a chair with his back to the entrance. Without even turning his head, he said flatly, "Sir, if you need an appraisal, just place the item on the table."

Hm?

He did not even look at me?

Su Chen felt a little annoyed!

He took out that Hundred-Thousand-Year immortal herb from his Spatial Ring and tossed it over. It struck the man squarely on the forehead.

The man had been about to fly into a rage, but the scent of an exquisite herb drifting from above his head made him freeze. If he had not smelled wrong—

That was the fragrance only a top-tier herb could emit!

The man sniffed it carefully and found that it really did have the scent of top-grade medicinal herbs.

Without even examining it closely, he knew it could fetch a good price.

His face immediately broke into a grin as he turned around and looked at the three before him.

Then he took the immortal herb down from his forehead!

In an instant!

The man's pupils shrank sharply as he stared wide-eyed at the immortal herb before him.

He lost his balance and dropped to his knees, his hands trembling slightly.

"Th-this... this is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb!" the man cried in a shaking voice.

"Mm." Su Chen replied calmly, not expecting the man's reaction to be so extreme.

The moment he realized that the herb in his hands was actually a Hundred-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb, the man felt as though the entire world had become unreal. Trembling, he said, "My ancestors, how could something this precious be tossed around like that?"

As he spoke, he carefully cradled the immortal herb and gently wiped the dust from its leaves.

Su Chen was getting a little impatient. It was just appraising an immortal herb—why did he have to make such a fuss?

He said flatly, "Hurry up. Can you sell it or not? If not, I'll go to the next place."

The man was instantly startled by this and said respectfully, "My lord, of course we can, of course we can! I'll make the arrangements for you right away."

Judging by the old man's reaction, it seemed he had brought too many.

Su Chen took another Hundred-Thousand-Year Immortal Herb from his ring and tossed it to the man.

The man's face flushed red as he stared at the second immortal herb in his hands, stammering so badly that he did not even know how to serve this great lord.

This auction would be the Temir Family's grandest event ever! Without question!

Su Chen said calmly, "All right, pay the deposit."

Hearing that, the man hurriedly said, "My lord, how could we possibly ask you to pay a deposit? This is the key to Box No. 2. Its position is second only to the No. 1 God of War Box."

Su Chen continued, "I meant that you should pay me the deposit!"

He had been short on money lately.

After staring blankly for a moment, the man eagerly pulled out a Black Card and said with a smile, "My lord, there's one hundred million in it. Please spend it as you wish." (I won't use the original currency here; it's too hard to convert.)

After taking the Black Card and key from the man's hand, Su Chen left directly with Qian Renxue and the other woman.

Being around this old man who had never seen the world was simply too boring.

As for whether they might try to swallow his immortal herbs, Su Chen would let them know exactly why flowers were so red!
