My Cat Can Do Backflips, Earthcore Phoenix Blood Crystal

Ten million!!!

A full ten million gold soul coins.

Everyone was stunned. Faced with such an overwhelming bid, they could not help wondering who this distinguished figure was.

Huo Fengyan was deeply displeased.

This crystal was of great use to him. It would be such a pity if he failed to obtain it.

Still unwilling to give up, Huo Fengyan continued:

"Sir, this crystal is very important to me. Could you let me have it?"

As soon as he spoke...

Scorching flames spread from the private room to the outside. The powerful bloodline suppression filled even Huo Fengyan's One-Horned Fireburst Dragon with fear and unease.

A surging wave of heat swept through the air.

Along with Jiang Qingyu's voice:

"You have no standing here. This crystal is useful to me as well. If you can't afford to raise the bid, then shut up."

The instant his voice fell, cold sweat streamed down Huo Fengyan's back. This was clearly not someone he could afford to provoke.

"I was presumptuous."

Huo Fengyan hurriedly apologized.

Then, the woman in the cheongsam smiled sweetly.

"Any higher bids for ten million? Ten million, going once. Ten million, going twice. Ten million, going three times."

Bang!

The gavel came down, and the woman in the cheongsam announced:

"Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the item."

Inside the private room, Jiang Qingyu rose to his feet. "Let's go. Time to pay and collect the item."

"Qingyu, do you really have that much money?" Even Bibi Dong only had a few million in spending money, nowhere near ten million.

"I do. Qingluan Grandpa and Guang Ling Grandpa's assets!"

Jiang Qingyu made it clear that money was not a problem.

It was not his money anyway.

After arriving backstage, he paid and collected the crystal that had drawn the Fire Dragon King's attention.

After obtaining the crystal, he did not immediately inspect it. Instead, he returned to Spirit Hall with Bibi Dong first.

Back at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong saw the fork leading toward the Papal Palace and the Consecration Hall.

She decided to be shameless just once.

"Qingyu, can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead!" Jiang Qingyu was in an excellent mood.

"If you don't mind, you can come rest at my place."

Relying on her thick skin, Bibi Dong invited him. There was practically nowhere pleasant to stay in the Consecration Hall.

It would be better to stay at the Saintess Hall.

"Thank you for the offer, but I'll pass on the rest. I can manage even without resting."

Jiang Qingyu politely declined Bibi Dong's invitation.

"Are you really not coming? My cat can do backflips!" Bibi Dong still refused to give up.

Jiang Qingyu looked back and said blandly, "That cat wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"

Bibi Dong's face reddened, and she hastily denied it. "How could that be!"

Was Qingyu too smart?

She did not own a cat, but the way he seemed to see right through her made her heart itch unbearably.

Bibi Dong had to win Qingyu over.

Only then would she feel truly satisfied.

It was the same feeling as a man conquering a woman.

"That's it, bye." Jiang Qingyu waved and headed back to the Consecration Hall.

As soon as he reached the rear courtyard of the Consecration Hall, he saw Qingluan and Guang Ling waiting there.

"Qingluan Grandpa, Guang Ling Grandpa, why are you here?" Jiang Qingyu asked in confusion.

Shouldn't they be wandering around at this hour?

"Little Qingyu is back." Guang Ling Douluo immediately took Jiang Qingyu by the hand and pulled him over to the split boulder.

Qingluan Douluo pointed at the stone.

"Qingyu, tell Grandpa. Have you mastered some new ability, like ice-fire fusion?"

Only when Jiang Qingyu saw the huge stone did he understand. So Qingluan Grandpa had discovered this.

He then spread his hands and said, "Qingluan Grandpa guessed right."

Qingluan Douluo could not wait any longer.

"Qingyu, hurry and show Grandpa. Grandpa is curious too."

Without hesitation, Jiang Qingyu summoned the Flame Phoenix Sword and channeled his power. The crimson flames immediately surged into icy blue fire. Cold and heat intertwined around the blade, while the gravel at his feet was covered in a thin layer of frost in an instant.

Qingluan Douluo stared without blinking and blurted out:

"My goodness, both ice and fire attributes? Qingyu, you're incredible."

Guang Ling Douluo sat off to the side with one leg crossed over the other and said leisurely:

"That's because I taught him well."

Qingluan Douluo immediately refuted him:

"You taught him well? I'm the one who usually trains with Qingyu! And can you stop being so shameless?"

Guang Ling Douluo refused to be outdone. "I taught Little Qingyu combat techniques!"

"I think you're just jealous!" Qingluan Douluo said without any courtesy.

The two bickered back and forth, arguing endlessly.

Jiang Qingyu helplessly shook his head, raised a hand to stop them, and took out the crimson crystal he had just won from his storage soul tool. Pure fire-attribute energy instantly spread through the air.

"Stop arguing. Take a look at this, Grandpas."

The Fire Dragon King's voice rang out in his sea of consciousness at the same time, filled with impatience:

"Kid, refine it quickly. This is an Earthcore Phoenix Blood Crystal. It can purify your fire-element attribute, and you might even gain some other unexpected benefits."

An Earthcore Phoenix Blood Crystal. He had never expected to find one here.

This was a top-tier treasure.

Qingluan Douluo's expression turned serious. He took the crystal and examined it for a moment.

"What is this? Where did you get it?"

Looking at the transparent crimson crystal, he found that it was completely useless to him, since his attribute was not fire.

"At an auction," Jiang Qingyu replied casually.

Guang Ling Douluo leaned over for a look, raising his brow.

"This thing doesn't look cheap. Did you empty both our savings?"

"It would just be sitting there otherwise." Jiang Qingyu smiled.

Qingluan Douluo stuffed the crystal back into his hand and instructed him:

"Since it's a good thing, refine it quickly. The two of us will stand guard. No one will dare disturb you."

Guang Ling Douluo also put away his joking expression and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Qingyu agreed. Holding the Earthcore Phoenix Blood Crystal, he found a suitable spot, closed his eyes, and began absorbing it.

He held the Earthcore Phoenix Blood Crystal in his palm and slowly circulated his soul power to guide it.

The instant the crystal came into contact with his soul power, it transformed into a gentle crimson current that flowed from the meridians in his palm straight toward his dantian.

The warm current traveled through his meridians. Wherever it passed, his original soul power was repeatedly washed and compressed, its impurities completely stripped away until every strand became refined and pure.

The soul power vortex in his dantian spun faster, shrinking slightly in volume, yet the power it contained rose severalfold.

A crimson glow gradually spread across his body, and steady waves of heat diffused outward.

Qingluan and Guang Ling exchanged a glance, then simultaneously erected soul power barriers around the courtyard, cutting off outside disturbances as they silently stood guard nearby.

Half an hour later, the crimson radiance completely withdrew into his body.

Jiang Qingyu slowly opened his eyes and lifted a fingertip. A clear crimson flame sprang forth.

The flame's temperature was noticeably higher than before, and its form could be controlled freely.

He could clearly sense that his soul power compression rate had increased by nearly thirty percent. Both its circulation speed and recovery ability had improved significantly. When using fire-attribute soul skills, their power was naturally more than forty percent greater than that of soul masters at the same level. The quality of his soul power had undergone a complete leap.

Guang Ling Douluo stepped forward with a smile.

"The results are excellent. Little Qingyu even managed to find something like this. Congratulations."

Qingluan Douluo nodded in agreement.

"With such a good treasure, cultivation will yield twice the results with half the effort. How did you find it?"
