Ao Bupa asked casually and did not notice Murong Yu's unease.

Mu Qing turned around, blinked, and stared at Murong Yu with a smile in her eyes.

Murong Yu avoided Mu Qing's smiling gaze, his ear tips flushed crimson.

Seeing that the other person was uncomfortable, Mu Qing chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "Ayu, take a look, is there anything you want?"

Mu Qing rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "I never expected A Yu to be such a lightweight. He's so cute and adorable when he's drunk. I'll have to drink with A Yu more often in the future."

Murong Yu, unaware of Mu Qing's ulterior motives, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "Alright."

Then, he reached out and picked up the auction list and glanced at it. The first thing he saw was the Blood Essence Grass, which was ranked third.

The second item is a magical artifact, said to have been crafted by an elder of the Xie family, a renowned family of weapon refiners in the Central Continent.

The first item is a Soul-Gathering Pill, which is said to enhance the strength of one's spiritual consciousness and repair and nourish damaged spiritual consciousness after consumption.

The importance of spiritual consciousness to cultivators goes without saying.

There are certainly many cultivators who want to obtain the Soul Condensation Pill, especially alchemists and talisman masters. These two types of cultivators have the strongest pursuit of spiritual power and are not short of spirit stones.

It's obvious that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Soul Condensing Pill will be sold at an astronomical price.

Actually, judging from the items that will be released for auction, the items being auctioned are not exactly top-tier, since there are still many good things in the cultivation world.

But then I thought, auctions are held all the time, so there can't always be something really valuable.

Most precious spiritual materials and magical artifacts are hidden away within the sects and clans of major sects and families, and are not easily taken out.

The number of treasures that end up in auction houses is naturally extremely limited.

In the dimensional space

Fire Phoenix finally woke up, and the first thing it saw when it opened its eyes was Tuan Tuan's big, clear black and white eyes, and Dian Dian standing next to Tuan Tuan.

The two little ones stared at it intently, and it's unclear how long they've been watching it.

Fire Phoenix: "......"

The fire phoenix stood up nonchalantly, shook its feathers, and, feeling thirsty, flew to the spirit spring and took a sip of water.

After drinking to his heart's content, he looked into the spiritual spring and saw the fish spirit that had sunk to the bottom, as well as the Soul-Locking Pearl next to it.

Fire Phoenix used its magic to lift the Soul-Locking Pearl out of the water. Noticing that Fish Spirit was about to spray water at it again, it quickly said, "Don't spray! We're on the same side!"

"We're all on the same side as Xiangxiang the human, so let's not start a fight."

Upon hearing this, Yu Lingling looked at the Soul-Locking Bead above her head, and then at the Fire Phoenix.

Fire Phoenix preened its feathers with its beak a few times and said slowly, "I'm just checking on him, I won't touch him."

Fire Phoenix carefully observed the soul within the Soul-Locking Pearl and noticed that it was much more solid than it had been a few months ago, and could wake up at any moment. She nodded in satisfaction.

The Soul-Locking Pearl was then submerged in the water.

He thought to himself, "Although this little fish is a bit blind and reckless, it does have some skill."

"This great bird and demon is magnanimous and will not stoop to its level."

After thinking it through, Fire Phoenix looked at Fish Spirit with a magnanimous expression and said, "Take good care of him. After he wakes up, use your divine sense to tell Fragrant Human."

Fish Spirit nodded, blew a string of colorful bubbles at Fire Phoenix, and swayed its tail as it sank into the water.

Fire Phoenix heard a childish voice in her mind: "Okay, Lord Crow." She nodded in satisfaction.
