The Token Pulses!

Upon seeing Chen Changqing arrive, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, her expression remaining largely unchanged.

"Young Master Li has misunderstood."

"I just wanted to make the acquaintance of Young Master Li."

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu wasn't lying about that.

Chen Changqing's previous performance on the Challenge Arena was truly astonishing.

With a cultivation July Rank, one can defeat Bailu cultivator with August Rank cultivation level.

This is equivalent to the Purple Mansion reversing the Nascent Soul!

In addition, Chen Changqing, with his Purple Mansion cultivation, can unleash his "momentum".

That's not all; the key point is that he actually developed three Purple Mansions within his body, which is simply unheard of!

In Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's view

With Chen Changqing's talent and aptitude, even on the entire Nine Provinces Continent, he would be a top-tier prodigy, undoubtedly someone that a major sect would do its utmost to cultivate.

She naturally wanted to befriend someone like that.

Perhaps by taking on this good deed, she might even be able to rise in the Xuanyuan Clan in the future.

Upon hearing what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said, Chen Changqing smiled faintly and, without standing on ceremony, sat down to the side.

"Miss Xuanyuan is quite decisive!"

Chen Changqing looked back at Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and said.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu smiled and said, "When dealing with straightforward people, it's natural to be straightforward yourself; it makes it easier to gain their favor."

At this point, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu paused and asked a follow-up question:

"May I ask, young hero Li, do you have feelings for me?"

Chen Changqing did not reply to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, but only smiled meaningfully.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu didn't mind and changed the subject:

"Young Master Li, you didn't come to this auction hoping to buy a treasure containing the Five Elements Origin and the Four Symbols Power, did you?"

Chen Changqing neither confirmed nor denied what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said, and nodded slightly.

"That's right."

"Those treasures will benefit my cultivation."

Xuanyuan Xiaoyu nodded in understanding and did not ask any further questions.

He knew very well that matters concerning cultivation were secrets to every Cultivator.

It would be rather impolite of her to press the matter further.

And so, Chen Changqing and Xuanyuan Xiaoyu chatted idly in the private room.

Before long, the auction in the hall below had already begun.

First, the person in charge of the auction went on stage to give an opening speech, and then maids brought out the items for auction one by one, and the bidding began.

Chen Changqing had been keeping a close eye on those auction items.

Unfortunately, he didn't find what he needed.

Just then, a maid walked onto the auction stage carrying an item covered with red silk.

The host noticed this and began to introduce the topic to everyone:

"Gentlemen."

The provenance of the next item in the auction is a mystery.

"Although I don't know exactly what it is, I can tell you that even a September Rank powerhouse couldn't open it, or even leave a trace!"

Without further ado, the host lifted the red silk, revealing a completely black Treasure Box.

Upon hearing the host's introduction, the audience erupted in uproar.

"Oh?"

"Even powerful figures from September Rank couldn't open it?"

"In that case, there must be treasure inside this box!"

"In my opinion, it must be something good!"

"..."

The bidders were buzzing with discussion, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Meanwhile, inside the private room.

"Um?"

Upon seeing the Treasure Box, Chen Changqing frowned, his heart filled with turmoil.

This was because the Token inside his Heaven-Stepping Ring was trembling in response.

"Could it be that the Treasure Box contains Token?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Changqing's mind.

Earlier, he went to the Universe Secret Realm of the Dao Sect in order to find the Token in order to obtain the Invincible Cultivation Method.

Fortunately, his perseverance paid off, and he finally found the Token.

His previous Token merged with the newly found Token into one.

Now, the contents of that Treasure Box have triggered a response from the Token he kept in his Heaven-Stepping Ring.

The only possibility Chen Changqing could think of was that the box contained the next Token he needed.

Just as Chen Changqing was lost in thought, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly and then said:

"Young Master Li, if you wish to bid, simply submit your offer!"

"The Elder Blood will relay the message to the host."

Upon hearing what Xuanyuan Xiaoyu said, Chen Changqing quickly snapped out of his daze and nodded, feigning composure:

"Thank you for informing me, Miss Xuanyuan!"

At this moment, on the auction stage, after finishing his introduction, the host said directly:

"Starting bid for this item: 10,000 Lower-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Each bid must be at least one thousand Lower-grade Spirit Stones."

As soon as the host finished speaking, a fierce bidding war broke out in the room.

"I'll offer eleven thousand Lower-grade Spirit Stones."

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

Thirty thousand Lower-grade Spirit Stones!

"..."

Amidst the fierce bidding, inside the private room, Chen Changqing directly announced his bid:

I'll offer a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

Upon hearing this, both Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and Blood Butcher, who were standing nearby, were shocked and their faces were filled with disbelief.

But soon, Blood Butcher transmitted the message to the host via secret voice.

"Ah?"

Upon hearing Blood Butcher's telepathic message, the host was utterly shaken and remained stunned for a long while before announcing:

Please be patient, everyone!

"The guest in the Heaven No. 1 VIP room has bid one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this, the entire auction hall fell into a deathly silence.

The crowd that had been fiercely bidding just moments ago was now completely stunned!

One thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones?

It should be noted that ten Lower-grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for one Middle-grade Spirit Stone, and ten Middle-grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for one High-grade Spirit Stone.

Ten High-grade Spirit Stones can be exchanged for one Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

These thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones are equivalent to one million Lower-grade Spirit Stones.

Shocked, everyone looked up at the Heaven No. 1 box.

What's going on?

"A box of unknown origin is being offered for a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

"That's incredibly generous!"

"I wonder who it is?"

"Keep your voice down, that's the guest in room Heaven No. 1!"

"..."

As they spoke, everyone fell silent.

Everyone knows that Room Heaven No. 1 is a VIP box at the Slaughter Auction House.

Even the Four Great Families are not qualified to enter.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the host quickly pursed his lips and finalized the deal:

Congratulations to our VIP customer, Heaven No. 1, for successfully bidding on this item!

The auction then continued.

After winning the bid for the Treasure Box, Chen Changqing did not bid on any other items.

Time slips away quietly.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the last item to be auctioned.

"Everyone!"

"This last treasure is the grand finale of this auction!"

At this point, the host took a deep breath.

Then, the maid presented a crystal bottle, within which a flame flickered.

"This substance is the Samadhi True Fire!"

"Obtained in a Secret Realm, it is a fire left behind by Immortals, which will be of immense benefit to Alchemists!"

Starting bid: 1,000 Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"
