Five Purple Mansions, Four Golden Cores!
Then, Chen Changqing calmed himself down.
Currently, three Purple Mansions have been opened up within his body.
In the Five Elements, there are the Purple Metal Purple Mansion and Earth Purple Mansion.
Among the Four Symbols, the Azure Dragon Purple Mansion was established!
Now, having obtained the Essence Blood of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger from Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, he can use it to open up two more Four Symbols Purple Mansions!
After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and opened the two small bottles directly.
"Boom!!"
The temperature in the entire stone chamber changed drastically the moment the cork was removed.
A drop of fiery red Essence Blood flew out from the jade bottle on the left, transforming into a miniature phantom of Vermilion Bird.
From the jade bottle on the right, a white-gold gleam burst forth, accompanied by the faint echo of a tiger's roar.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changqing immediately sat down cross-legged.
The next moment, the three formed Purple Mansions within his Dantian trembled simultaneously, resonating with the two drops of divine beast Essence Blood floating in front of him.
"Condense!"
Chen Changqing gave a soft shout, and a suction force immediately emanated from him. Soon after, the drop of Vermilion Bird Essence Blood was the first to merge into his body.
"Boom boom..."
The moment the Vermilion Bird Essence Blood entered his body, crimson Dao flames instantly ignited around Chen Changqing's body.
From behind it, at this moment, a phantom image of a Vermilion Bird spreading its wings appeared.
At the same time, within Chen Changqing's body, intense Spiritual Power surged through his meridians, eventually converging in his Dantian.
Immediately afterwards, a Golden Core within his Dantian began to devour the scorching Spiritual Power.
"Snap!"
For a moment, the Golden Core shattered and transformed into a crimson Purple Mansion containing patterns of the Vermilion Bird.
Just as the Vermilion Bird Purple Mansion was taking shape, Chen Changqing's aura began to rise rapidly.
After a while, Chen Changqing's breathing calmed down.
"Huff huff..."
After letting out a long sigh, he slowly opened his eyes, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the drop of White Tiger Essence Blood floating in front of him.
Then, Chen Changqing didn't delay and directly absorbed the drop of White Tiger Essence Blood into his body.
"Boom!"
A sharp golden light suddenly exploded within Chen Changqing's body.
Platinum patterns appeared on its surface, and its bones emitted a clanging sound.
Soon, the pure Spiritual Power contained in the White Tiger's Essence Blood entered Chen Changqing's Dantian.
As before, it began absorbing the pure Spiritual Power as soon as it reached the Golden Core stage.
"Boom!"
After a while, that Golden Core shattered and transformed into the fifth Purple Mansion.
As this Purple Mansion took shape in Chen Changqing's Dantian, the entire quiet room was illuminated by dazzling Golden Light.
Chen Changqing suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils swirling with five colors.
At this moment, five Purple Mansion shone brightly within his Dantian.
The Metal Purple Mansion, the Earth Purple Mansion, the Azure Dragon Purple Mansion, the White Tiger Purple Mansion, and the Vermilion Bird Purple Mansion all shone brightly.
The True Qi between the five palaces circulates continuously, with four Golden Core surrounding it.
Chen Changqing briefly sensed the surging power within his body and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Five Purple Mansions now!"
"Cool!"
"My strength is now several levels higher than before!"
As he spoke, Chen Changqing clenched his fist, his eyes gleaming.
"If I were to encounter Nascent Soul Cultivator like Bailu again now, I'm confident I could suppress him with a single sword strike!"
Previously on the Challenge Arena, Chen Changqing faced Bailu, who was at the August Rank, and finally managed to kill him by using the power of three Purple Mansions.
Currently, five Purple Mansions have been opened up within his body.
Their strength has increased significantly.
Chen Changqing then remained in the quiet room.
I don't know how much time had passed, but then there was a knock on the door outside the quiet room.
"Knock knock!"
Immediately following, the Know-It-All's voice came:
"Fellow Daoist Li!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing snapped out of his daze, got up, and opened the door to the quiet room.
Upon seeing Chen Changqing, the Know-It-All quickly pursed his lips and said:
"Fellow Daoist Li, the auction in City of Slaughter is about to begin!"
Chen Changqing nodded and said:
"Let's go take a look!"
The reason he stayed in City of Slaughter after making a deal with Xuanyuan Xiaoyu was for this auction.
Naturally, they hoped to win a treasure containing the power of the Five Elements or the Four Symbols Power at the auction.
Although five of the nine Golden Core cores in his body have opened up to the Purple Mansion, four of Golden Core have yet to break through.
Next, Chen Changqing and Know-It-All approached Chen Ye, and together they went to the auction in the City of Slaughter.
Soon, the three arrived outside the auction venue.
Looking around, one sees that the auction venue is a completely black building, resembling a lurking giant beast.
By this time, the entrance was already teeming with people.
Chen Changqing retrieved the Blood-Colored Token given to him by Elder Qiu from the Heaven-Stepping Ring.
The original intention was to use this Token to enter the auction venue.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, an old man quickly approached the three of them.
"Greetings, Chief Steward Blood Butcher!"
Upon seeing the old man, the Know-It-All immediately bowed deeply, displaying utmost respect.
Blood Butcher didn't even glance at Know-It-All, his gaze fixed directly on Chen Changqing.
"Young Master Li, please follow me!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing was slightly surprised, but quickly understood.
The fact that Blood Butcher came looking for him must have been arranged by Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.
After a slight pause, he didn't hesitate. He gave Know-It-All and Chen Ye a wink, and then followed Blood Butcher.
Meanwhile, the others present, witnessing this scene, immediately began to discuss it amongst themselves:
Who is that person?
"They actually had Chief Blood Butcher personally receive you?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, this is the foreign Cultivator who killed August Rank Bailu Eight-Month Realm cultivator on the Challenge Arena a few days ago!"
"Strangely, after achieving a hundred-win streak, he never stepped into the Challenge Arena again."
"It seems this outsider Cultivator also knows that if he continues to challenge, even more powerful experts await him!"
"I guess you could say he has some self-awareness!"
"..."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, completely unaware that the reason Chen Changqing hadn't challenged the arena again was because he had made an agreement with Xuanyuan Xiaoyu.
"Um?"
At the same time, a young man in brocade robes narrowed his eyes, watching Chen Changqing's departing figure from the crowd.
The boy had six Blood Moon Marks on his forehead.
Behind him stood several guards, one of whom had reached the August Rank stage.
The young man was none other than a member of the Zhao Family, one of the Four Great Families.
"Interesting."
"A foreign Cultivator was actually received by Blood Butcher."
"It seems there must be some hidden secret behind this!"
The boy glanced at himself, secretly making plans in his mind.
Meanwhile, Chen Changqing and his two companions followed Blood Butcher to a private box inside the auction hall.
"Young Master Li, please come in!"
Blood Butcher smiled and looked at Chen Changqing.
Where are my two friends?
Chen Changqing paused, then turned to look at Know-It-All and Chen Ye.
Blood Butcher smiled slightly and said:
"Young Master Li, please rest assured, I will arrange everything!"
Upon understanding, Blood Butcher immediately beckoned to a steward and instructed him:
"Please escort these two distinguished guests to their seats in the Heaven-Rank Zone."
Chen Ye and Know-It-All wisely refrained from asking further questions and followed the steward away.
Seeing this, Chen Changqing felt relieved and pushed open the door to enter the private room.
Before her eyes, she saw Xuanyuan Xiaoyu leaning against the window, her slender fingers playing with the beaded curtain, looking down at the auction hall below with great interest.
Chen Changqing saw this but wasn't surprised, and said calmly:
"How?"
"Is Miss Xuanyuan afraid that I won't leave?"
