When Xiao Xiao was mentioned, Xiao Yunmei's face showed some resentment.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. She's been spoiled in the Xiao family. She speaks without thinking and is too self-righteous. If the Yunmei Auction falls into her hands, she will squander it all sooner or later!"
Zhou Chen nodded. He didn't care much about Xiao Xiao.
He is nothing more than an arrogant and domineering second-generation playboy, relying on his prominent family background and outstanding talent in ancient martial arts to be barbaric and willful.
Zhou Chen didn't even care about that Young Master Gongyang. He only cared about what kind of family the Gongyang family behind him was.
"Your Xiao family should be the top family in Yanhuang, but what is the Gongyang family?"
According to Zhou Chen's idea, the Cai family, to which Cai Yameng belongs, is the overlord of a province.
The Xiao family, to which Xiao Yunmei belongs, is one of the top families in the country.
Then wouldn't the Gongyang family be superior to the Yanhuang family?
After all, even Xiao Xiao, the little princess of the Xiao family, acts coquettishly and cutely in front of Young Master Gongyang, which shows how powerful the Gongyang family behind Young Master Gongyang is.
Xiao Yunmei shook her head. "I don't know much, but there are three other families like the Gongyang family in Yanhuang: the Dongfang family, the Changsun family, and the Zhongli family."
"From what I know, these four families basically all have immortal cultivators, who generally don't care about worldly affairs."
Zhou Chen understood.
Then he asked, "Compared to the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau, which of these four families is stronger?"
Xiao Yunmei answered without hesitation: "Of course the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau is stronger. The Yanhuang Guardian Bureau is in charge of all the cultivators in the Yanhuang territory, including immortal cultivators."
"According to my understanding, the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau alone has more than a handful of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
"However, immortal cultivators basically spend most of their time in seclusion, cultivating, unless there are powerful evil cultivators causing trouble in the secular world, such as the flower-stealing thief who appeared at the last auction. The senior named Luo Ya came out of seclusion specifically to eliminate him."
Zhou Chen touched his chin. Doesn't that mean that the Yanhuang Guardian Bureau has even produced a powerful Jindan stage warrior?
If that's the case, with my cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining, I still have a long way to go!
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. After all, he had only practiced for three and a half months and had achieved such success. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
Zhou Chen comforted Xiao Yunmei: "It's okay, I will strengthen the manor's defense formation and let you take charge of it. This way, even if I'm not in the manor, you won't be completely defenseless."
"Take me to the treasury. I'm going to refine some magic weapons."
Xiao Yunmei was delighted. As long as Zhou Chen was willing to make a move, Yunmei Auction would have another great opportunity!
It seems that I need to work harder to collect training materials for Zhou Chen so that Zhou Chen can devote more energy to the Yunmei Auction and attach more importance to the Yunmei Auction.
Inside the underground treasure house.
Zhou Chen first came to the room where the magical instruments and antiques were placed.
Extending his spiritual sense, Zhou Chen examined each antique one by one.
At the beginning, Zhou Chen still had a strong desire to pick up a bargain.
But after quickly scanning most of the items with his spiritual sense, he couldn't find even a single treasure that caught his eye.
The antique is indeed an antique, and the magic weapon does have the power of a magic weapon, but it is too low-level and cannot even withstand the attack of the previous flower-stealing cultivator.
After looking at all the magical instruments and antiques, Zhou Chen held a sword and a talisman in his hand.
None of them are spiritual weapons, but fortunately the materials are quite good and can be melted and refined again.
Then Zhou Chen came to the room where various minerals and gems were placed.
Zhou Chen still used his spiritual sense to scan each piece one by one to prevent missing the treasure.
Zhou Chen was a little disappointed with the room full of magical instruments and antiques.
However, in the room where the ores and gems were stored, Zhou Chen discovered a lot of refining materials.
"Gengjin... Deep Sea Black Iron... Star Pattern Steel..."
When Zhou Chen walked to an ordinary piece of soil, he stopped immediately.
At first glance, Zhou Chen was a little confused.
After a second glance, Zhou Chen thought carefully.
The third time he looked, Zhou Chen suddenly realized and looked incredulous.
After the fourth glance, Zhou Chen immediately picked up the black soil.
He lost his voice: "Nine Heavens Xirang!"
In the memories of ancient Qi cultivators, there is a kind of soil that can continuously release vitality and nourish the plants on the soil.
In ancient times, the bustling Nine Heavens was a kind of fertile soil that could allow an ordinary grass to grow into the legendary immortal elixir.
Even a piece of Xirang as big as the nail of your little finger would trigger a fight among the major ancient Taoist sects.
The piece of Nine Heavens Xirang in Zhou Chen's hand was as big as a palm!
Zhou Chen finally got a bargain, and this time the bargain was worth millions or even tens of millions of times more than the Kongming Gold and the mid-grade alchemy furnace combined!
Zhou Chen was overwhelmed by the huge surprise, and his hands holding the Jiutian Xirang were shaking.
This means that in the future he will be able to harvest the legendary elixir of immortality!
Xiao Yunmei, who was standing next to him, saw Zhou Chen's expression and knew that he had found a treasure, and she was happy for him.
He introduced it to Zhou Chen: "This piece of black soil was collected from a group of tomb robbers. According to them, it seems to have been found in a very ancient altar."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen quickly asked, "Can we still contact them?"
If there is an altar with the Nine Heavens Xirang, there might be other treasures.
Xiao Yunmei shook her head. "Tomb robbers are very secretive. But I'll tell my men that if they come to us to buy treasures next time, I'll let you know."
Zhou Chen nodded and his spiritual sense probed into the Nine Heavens Xirang.
But once the spiritual consciousness entered the Nine Heavens Xirang, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, as if there was an abyss inside.
This made Zhou Chen more convinced of the authenticity of Xirang.
At the same time, Zhou Chen was also a little confused.
According to the memories of ancient Qi cultivators, the Nine Heavens Xirang should have emitted a terrifying breath of life, but why was he unaware of it?
Could it be related to the fact that the Earth has entered the Dharma-Ending Age?
In order to verify his guess, Zhou Chen asked Xiao Yunmei to send someone to pick a piece of grass at random.
Soon a maid arrived with a weed picked from the manor in her hands.
Zhou Chen inserted the weed into the soil.
What made Zhou Chen extremely disappointed was that the weeds didn't react at all.
"Strange, it doesn't make sense, it's impossible!"
Zhou Chen was a little confused.
Not giving up, he took out the elixir and inserted it into the grass, but there was still no reaction, just like an ordinary piece of soil.
After struggling for a while, Zhou Chen finally gave up.
Jiutian Xirang is indeed Jiutian Xirang, there is no doubt about that.
The problem should be the Earth today.
The reason why Jiutian Xirang has such a miraculous effect is probably because it is closely related to the earth.
The Earth has now entered the Dharma-Ending Age, causing the Nine Heavens Xirang, which is closely related to it, to fall into silence.
Zhou Chen sighed.
The huge psychological gap made him feel very uncomfortable.
But I soon got over it.
Perhaps after many years of cultivating immortality, the earth's spiritual energy will suddenly revive, and maybe the Jiutian Xirang will revive along with it.
