When Chongjiu arrived at the Hunyuan Immortal Sect, he saw Xintai and Yuyangzi chatting happily, and he couldn't help but want to turn back.

Upon seeing him arrive, Xintai immediately stood up and said, "Greetings, Venerable One."

Yu Yangzi then got up to take his leave, showing he had some sense of propriety.

Chong Jiu glanced at Xin Yue and sat down beside him. "What business do you have with me?"

Xintai thought for a moment and said, "Two months ago, I received an order from the Upper Realm to find someone who could make this stone shine." As he spoke, he took out a piece of Fuli Stone, which was now emitting a scorching light.

Seeing the intense light emanating from the Fuli Stone, Xintai's pupils involuntarily contracted.

The word "It's over" immediately popped into my head.

Chong Jiu's eyes turned cold as he looked at him and asked, "Why have you come to see me?"

This is because once you get the Fuli Stone, you realize that he is the one.

Xintai's heart tightened, and he said, "I...I didn't know..."

He genuinely didn't know; it was purely a coincidence.

How could he possibly know that this person could make the stone shine?

He traveled a long way to this place, just to find out if there was any possibility that the flow of spiritual energy might reappear.

He had been stuck at the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm for a long time, and last time there were faint signs of a breakthrough, but he dared not break through easily in danger due to the chaos.

Therefore, he wanted to come here to borrow the spiritual energy to break through the shackles of the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Since they had nothing to offer in exchange, they tried to trade the information about the stone for another chance, but little did they know they would run into a trap.

This stone was specially sent down from the Upper Realm, so it must be very important. And this person should also be from the Upper Realm, so he thought he would like this news.

Now……

He probably likes me so much that he'd kill me to silence me.

Xintai glanced at the burning hot Fuli Stone in his hand, feeling like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

He just wants to break free from his constraints, why is it so difficult!

Chong Jiu waved his hand and took the Fuli Stone from his hand. "Who from the Upper Realm sent this to you, and who asked you to find someone?"

Xin Tai swallowed and murmured, "He's from the Guihai family of the Upper Domain. I don't know who he is, but he claims to be from the Guihai family."

"I cannot refuse the orders from the Upper Realm, so please forgive me, Your Excellency."

It's Guihai's home again.

Chong Jiu tossed Fu Lishi aside, looked at him, and said, "Do you know what to do?"

Xintai nodded immediately, "I know, I know, I will definitely be careful."

"Very good, consider this your reward. Don't worry about the rest; those are not things you should be thinking about." Chong Jiu said, placing a bottle of spiritual elixir on the coffee table next to him.

This was given to him by Shu Jianyue before, but he hardly drank it because it was useless.

Xin Tai was taken aback and did not accept it. "Venerable One, I have been stuck at the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm for a long time. Last time, I was about to break through, but I was worried about something going wrong, so I did not."

"Now……"

"Leave the Hunyuan Immortal Sect and don't bother us again unless necessary." Chong Jiu glanced at him, not letting him finish speaking.

After finishing his sentence, Chong Jiu left immediately.

Xintai looked at the jade bottle on the table with a troubled expression, his mind in turmoil.

Yu Yangzi entered and, seeing his constantly changing expression, glanced at the jade bottle on the table and said, "This is very effective for stagnant cultivation. I broke through using it."

Upon hearing this, Xin Tai immediately put the jade bottle away. "Where is that old man, Gu Yunxiao?"

Yu Yangzi laughed and said, "The ancestor went into seclusion. He only came out of seclusion briefly when his grandmaster returned, and then went into seclusion again."

"He's already broken through to the first level of the Nascent Soul stage, why is he in such a hurry?" Xin Tai said, laughing at himself.

Aren't I the same?

Just as Shu Jianyue finished refining a batch of pills, Yu Chuan ran in. "Mother, Chaotian said there's an auction today. I haven't been to see it yet. Shall we go together?"

"You can just go with Chaotian, I won't go." She had no interest in the auction.

“Mom, if you don’t go, Xixi and Wuyan won’t go either. Come on, let’s go together.” Yuchuan said, pulling her hand and shaking it.

Shu Jianyue slapped his hand away, "Who taught you to act like this?"

Yu Chuan immediately shook his head, "Nobody taught me. Do I really need someone to teach me this?"

"Mom, let's go together."

Shu Jianyue had no choice but to nod in agreement, "Okay, let's go together and call Xixi and Wuyan."

Yu Chuan cheered and jumped up, leaping out of the water.

After learning that they were going to the auction, Chaotian specially instructed the maids to clean the No. 1 room of the Heavenly Palace again and set out the best pastries in the capital.

In addition to Shu Jianyue's pills, magical artifacts, and talismans, today's auction also includes items sent by others.

The most anticipated item was a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the news caused an uproar in the capital.

People from other places who received the news rushed over.

Top-grade spiritual weapons are rare in the Eastern Continent; previously, only Yu Yangzi of the Hunyuan Immortal Sect possessed one.

Since there are no more immortal artifacts, any top-grade spiritual artifacts that appear will naturally be snapped up by everyone.

However, an entry jade token is required to enter the auction; without it, entry is impossible. Therefore, people from other places are trying to find connections to get someone to bring them in.

For those with stronger power, the imperial court issued a few more jade tokens, but not many, limited to no more than ten.

But it also led to a bloody fight among them.

The auction started at 5 PM. When Shu Jianyue arrived in the capital of Fengxian Kingdom with Yuchuan, Yanxi and Wuyan, it was still early, so they strolled around the capital.

Wu Yan found everything bland, unlike Yu Chuan, who found everything new and exciting, even though he had visited the capital city before.

Yan Xi obediently held Shu Jianyue's hand, her eyes looking around, but she seemed uninterested in anything.

Wu Yan walked on the other side of Shu Jianyue, attracting a lot of attention because of the ribbon tied around her eyes.

Shu Jianyue bent down and picked him up. "Wuyan, is there anything you want to buy? Tell your master."

"Master may not have much else, but he has a lot of spirit stones."

Her words drew sidelong glances from passersby.

Wu Yan nodded, "Yes, Master."

Yan Xi had a lot of spirit stones on her, so she didn't need to buy anything she wanted; she could buy it herself.

Yu Chuan ran out for a while and came back with four strings of candied hawthorns in his hand.

One person took a skewer.

Shu Jianyue took a bite, and the tangy flavor was amazing!

If she were an ordinary person, I feel like her teeth would probably have fallen out by now.

It was clear that the three children were enjoying their meal immensely, giving me a sense of my own growing old.

Yuchuan ran away again after eating the candied hawthorn.

Lu Shuixian, sitting in the teahouse, was stunned when she saw Shu Jianyue, and narrowed her eyes when she saw Yan Xi and Wu Yan next to her.

She had previously participated in the selection of disciples for the Hunyuan Immortal Sect and passed, but could only enter the outer sect, so she withdrew.

Shu Jianyue was quite lucky; she actually became the last disciple of the Primordial Ancestor.

However, if she remembered correctly, Shu Jianyue's children were twins, a boy and a girl.

The two children are of the correct gender, but isn't their age a bit problematic?

The girl does look similar, but their ages don't match.

That child has gone blind. Ha, it seems he's not doing very well in the Hunyuan Immortal Sect.
