"What's wrong?" Bai Qingqing was startled.
Liu Peng, Bai Wuji, and Yue Xi were all stunned.
The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't say them.
Bai Hao and his six companions, along with several senior brothers and sisters, all stared wide-eyed.
The Taiyin Divine Stone contains an extremely powerful and chilling yin energy.
Even Bai Wuji and Yue Xi, who have been in the Transformation Realm for many years, did not dare to grab the Taiyin Divine Stone with their bare hands.
This is common sense.
But now, Bai Qingqing is holding the Taiyin Divine Stone firmly in her hand.
Those little hands were still the same as before, white and tender.
A Returning Origin Realm expert!
This was Liu Peng's first reaction.
But Liu Peng quickly dismissed the idea.
First of all, he did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from Bai Qingqing.
Moreover, he's only a fifteen-year-old child.
He was ten years old when his spiritual roots were tested.
Even if she had a series of fortuitous encounters in the following five years, with her spiritual energy replenishing itself, she would still have no chance of advancing to the Returning Origin Realm or higher.
Even the best geniuses in the Central Continent need three years to advance from the Qi Opening Realm to the Qi Moving Realm.
Moreover, it gets harder as you go on.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that each realm is a different level of existence.
The journey from the Opening Meridian Realm to the Returning to Origin Realm spans seven major realms.
That's absolutely impossible.
"Mother, have I caused trouble?" Bai Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, so she quietly moved closer to Yuexi and asked with her lips pursed.
She genuinely didn't know that this thing shouldn't be touched with your hands.
But she's already touched it, so it's bound to break eventually. At worst, she'll just have to pay for it.
Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing's eyes lit up.
This seems to be a path to "get rich".
"Ding! A friendly reminder from Xiao Hao: If the host intentionally damages other people's property, the system will not be responsible for compensation. Please try to spend your money responsibly..."
You cheapskate!
"No. Everyone was just worried that you might get your hands cold." Yuexi came to her senses and quickly ruffled Bai Qingqing's hair to comfort her.
"It's not that cold," Bai Qingqing muttered.
Bai Wuji, who was standing to the side, swallowed hard and asked with some difficulty, "Qingqing, what do you think of this stone?"
Bai Qingqing remained silent for a moment.
Then he glanced at Liu Peng beside him.
"It's good, very good." Bai Qingqing said insincerely, pursing her lips.
This is, after all, a token of their goodwill.
If you could find a square piece of wood about one meter in size, hollow it out in the middle, and use it as a refrigerator, that would be pretty good.
But this stone is too small.
Chicken ribs.
Liu Peng, who was able to become the general manager of the Yunjian branch of Tianyuan City, was naturally no ordinary person.
Bai Qingqing's moment of silence did not escape his eyes.
The magnificent Taiyin Divine Stone, which is highly sought after even in the Central Continent, was actually disliked by a little girl from the Southern Wilderness Continent.
Not only that, but the young girl even held it in her hand and played with it for a while, yet she didn't even hurt a single hair on her head.
If he hadn't been able to feel the powerful, chilling energy emanating from the Taiyin Divine Stone, he would have suspected that he had given away a fake one.
Liu Peng could only chuckle awkwardly.
"It's getting late, we should take our leave." Finally, Bai Wuji broke the awkward atmosphere and said with a cupped hand.
"Sect Leader Bai, please take care." Liu Peng also cupped his hands in greeting, feeling inexplicably relieved.
Throughout the journey, Yuexi pondered who exactly the senior who had raised Qingqing for fifteen years was.
The finest spirit stones flowed like water, without a trace of heartache.
The powerful Taiyin Divine Stone was like a roadside pebble in her hands.
With just a casual remark or a pat on the head, the spirit horse awakened a trace of its celestial horse bloodline.
All of this is simply unbelievable.
Could it be that senior is an immortal?
Then, using celestial magic, he lavishly raised Qingqing for fifteen years.
However, the path to immortality in this world has long been severed, so where are there any immortals left?
Yuexi's head ached from thinking so much, but she still couldn't figure it out.
In the end, I could only force myself not to think about it.
In any case, Qingqing is her daughter, and she will do everything in her power to love and protect her.
Soon, Bai Qingqing and her group returned to the Star Moon Sect.
As they parted, Bai Qingqing took out everything she had won at the auction and gave it all away, leaving nothing behind.
It was quite a coincidence.
The number of items auctioned this time matches the number of people in their group.
One item for each person, without bias.
Bai Qingqing clapped her hands in satisfaction.
Today's auction alone cost me over a thousand high-grade spirit stones. I must continue to work hard in the future.
There's no reason why spending money should be a problem.
"Qingqing, you've been taking pictures for so long, you should keep them for yourself, I don't need them." Bai Wuji said with heartache when he saw that Bai Qingqing hadn't kept any for herself.
"Does Father not like the gift I chose?" Bai Qingqing's big eyes immediately filled with tears as she asked, pursing her lips.
Damn it, even if you throw it away, you can't give it back to me.
Because the voice of the system Xiaohao had just echoed in her mind again.
"Ding, Xiao Hao kindly reminds you that once the item is returned, the system will also return ten times the amount of spirit stones to the spirit stone ledger and record it again."
Tenfold return?
This gift is worth 130 spirit stones. If it's ten times that, wouldn't it be 1300?
I didn't spend a total of 1,300, did I?
Could negative numbers possibly exist?
"Ding! Little Hao kindly reminds you that negative numbers are allowed in the spirit stone ledger."
Damn, there really are negative numbers.
Even if I throw a tantrum, I can't get him to give it back.
Fortunately, she still has a supportive mother.
Seeing this, Yuexi kicked him directly: "Qingqing kindly picked out a gift for you, and you dare to complain?"
"No, no." Bai Wuji skillfully patted the fresh footprints on his clothes and explained, "It's a gift from my darling daughter, so of course I love it. I just felt that since Qingqing took so many pictures, she should keep one for herself too."
"I'm glad Father likes it." Bai Qingqing then smiled through her tears. "These were originally gifts I picked out for everyone. I don't need these things."
Zhou Kai took out a purple jade medicine bottle from his storage ring and handed it to Bai Qingqing.
"This is the Swiftness Pill I refined. After taking it, your speed will increase threefold and last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After you have your spiritual root tested, I will refine some more pills tailored to your needs."
"Thank you, Second Elder." Bai Qingqing accepted it, smiling with her eyes crinkling.
She was actually quite curious and couldn't wait to open it and see what it was like, but it would be a little impolite to open a gift given to her on the spot.
Forget it, I'll study it when I'm alone later.
I wonder what grade of pill this Divine Speed Pill is. It's probably not as good as the Gathering Sea Spirit Pill, right?
Bai Qingqing currently only has a superficial understanding of the cultivation system in this world and doesn't know much about it.
Everything is based on what I just heard and saw at the auction.
And her own guesses.
