By the time Ji Wuchang returned to the Ji Family, Xiao Mei had already returned as well.
Although this woman had no cultivation, her composure was exceptional. When she saw Ji Wuchang, she actually gave nothing away!
"What a pity. However deep your schemes, they're all futile in the face of absolute strength!"
Ji Wuchang would not have Ji Ping kill her immediately. Another two days would make no difference; he could spare that little bit of time!
Just then, Ji Ping came over and said with a smile, "Wuchang, there's a small auction tomorrow evening. Would you like to come along and take a look?"
Ji Ping's words made Ji Wuchang pause slightly. He remembered now.
In his previous life, Ji Ping had also asked him about this, but he had refused outright at the time.
Ji Wuchang had believed that an auction held in a small city like Muye City could not possibly have anything good.
But later, Ji Wuchang had learned from his senior sister An Kexin that Xiao Fan said he had bought a box nobody wanted at an auction in Muye City. Inside it was actually a map to a secret realm.
Later, Xiao Fan had explored this secret realm alone and learned a secret method there called the "Hundredfold Sublimation Instant Kill Technique"!
It could instantly increase his cultivation dozens or even a hundred times over, allowing him to slay his opponent.
Relying on this secret method, Xiao Fan had turned the tables and killed his opponents in desperate situations many times, making the secret method shine brilliantly!
Moreover, this secret realm seemed to be in the mountains behind the Longevity Sect! The storage ring containing a powerful expert's soul had also come from this secret realm!
At this thought, Ji Ping's heart instantly burned with excitement, and he immediately nodded. "All right, then I'll go take a look with you tomorrow evening, Family Head!"
Hearing this, Ji Ping could not help but pause slightly. He had originally thought Ji Wuchang would never go, since there really was nothing good at such small auctions.
But Ji Wuchang's agreement made Ji Ping very happy too, and he hurriedly nodded.
Watching Ji Ping leave, Ji Wuchang could not help smiling. He had somewhere to check in tomorrow!
Before dawn the next day, Ji Wuchang continued to sit cross-legged on the roof, cultivating the "Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art"!
As the morning sun rose in the east, vast quantities of purple Qi poured into his body. Ji Wuchang felt as though he had plunged into a furnace again!
Creak!
This was not the sound of a door opening, but the sound of bones grinding inside Ji Wuchang's body.
Wisps of black gas rose from his body from time to time, then dispersed into the air!
These were impurities in his flesh, continually expelled from Ji Wuchang's body by the Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art!
Ji Wuchang felt excruciating pain throughout his body, but he did not even grunt, stubbornly enduring it.
As for pain, the suffering from his damaged meridians in his previous life had been true pain!
Whenever spiritual power flowed through them, a heart-piercing agony would follow.
Especially when he fought others, his meridians would hurt even more severely.
Compared with his previous life, this little bit of pain was truly a minor shaman facing a great one!
An hour later, Ji Wuchang leaped down from the roof, drenched from head to toe! After returning to his room and bathing, he instantly felt refreshed and clearheaded!
The day passed quickly. When night fell, Ji Wuchang went out with Ji Ping and Ji Cheng!
Muye City's auction house was called the Notables Auction House, and it did not belong to any faction in Muye City.
Standing at the entrance to the Notables Auction House, Ji Wuchang could not help recalling the figure of a woman.
The Notables Auction House was an auction house chain in Boyun Province, with branches in many cities, large and small!
In his previous life, Ji Wuchang had happened to save the life of the Notables Auction House's eldest young lady, and their lives had become entangled ever since.
That young lady had supplied Ji Wuchang with many good things. Sadly, the beautiful were ill-fated, and she had died in the end. But Ji Wuchang did not know exactly how she had died.
Ji Wuchang vaguely felt that her death in his previous life had something to do with him.
After their final meeting, she had told Ji Wuchang that she knew the whereabouts of a special spirit medicine that could completely heal the injuries to his meridians.
She would leave for a while to gather it for Ji Wuchang!
But after that, there had never been any news of her again!
Thinking of this, Ji Wuchang could not help sighing! That foolish girl-it would be better if she never met him in this life!
One encounter with Wuchang could ruin an entire lifetime. There was truly no need for that!
Ji Wuchang put aside his feelings and followed Ji Ping and Ji Cheng into the auction house, taking a seat in private room number one on the second floor.
System, check in!
After sitting down, Ji Wuchang immediately addressed the system inwardly.
[Ding! Check-in successful at the Notables Auction House in Muye City. Reward: three years of cultivation! Fortune points +3.]
As the system's voice sounded, Ji Wuchang instantly felt an immense surge of spiritual power appear within his body.
With his previous experience, Ji Wuchang did not hesitate at all. He immediately circulated the "Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art," dispersing this immense spiritual power throughout his limbs and bones.
Ji Wuchang clearly felt his physical strength increase enormously in an instant. A faint golden light even appeared on his skin!
Over these two days, Ji Wuchang had effectively used five whole years of cultivation to temper his body.
If word of this got out, many people would probably be so astonished that they could not close their mouths. How could such a fool exist in this world!
But Ji Wuchang did not find it wasteful in the slightest. He could feel that he seemed close to mastering the first level of the "Purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art"!
Just then, a man dressed in coarse hemp clothing slowly walked into the auction hall.
Ji Wuchang recognized him at a glance. This man was none other than Xiao Fan.
A faint, cold smile appeared at the corner of Ji Wuchang's mouth. He had come here tonight precisely to seize Xiao Fan's fortuitous opportunity.
Xiao Fan, you're destined to return empty-handed tonight!
Ji Wuchang did not wait long before the auction began!
A woman walked onto the auction stage!
This woman looked to be in her thirties, with cultivation at Qi Refining, first layer. Her figure was very voluptuous, making many people's eyes brighten slightly.
"Honored guests, I am tonight's auctioneer, Liu Dandan. Thank you all for coming to our Notables Auction House! May you all return with a full haul tonight!"
"Without further ado, tonight's auction officially begins!"
Liu Dandan greeted everyone, her voice very pleasant to the ear!
"Tonight's first item is a law artifact. Although it has a slight flaw, it should be a fine item for anyone who practices a water-attribute cultivation method!"
As soon as Liu Dandan finished speaking, a maid came forward carrying a porcelain bottle.
Dense water vapor swirled around the porcelain bottle. It was indeed a water-attribute law artifact.
Of course, law artifacts like this were used for cultivation and belonged to the auxiliary category.
There was a small chip in the mouth of the porcelain bottle. This was the flaw Liu Dandan had just mentioned!
"The starting bid for this item is fifty low-grade spirit stones, with each increase no fewer than five low-grade spirit stones! Interested guests may place their bids!"
After having the maid display the porcelain bottle to everyone, Liu Dandan spoke with a smile.
As soon as Liu Dandan's words fell, people immediately began bidding. In the end, it sold for one hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones.
