Zhao Jinbao nodded, not quite understanding: "I understand."
Zhao Yunfeng said lovingly, "Jinbao, you escaped death this time, but your mother must have been scared. Spend some time with her when you get back."
Zhao Jinbao nodded obediently: "Okay, father."
After the people from Duobao Pavilion left, many people still gathered at the entrance of Qinglian Secret Realm. They were all watching the fierce fight between Sect Leader Tu and Elder Xue.
"I've heard that Sect Leader Tu is not very powerful, and now it seems to be true."
"If it weren't for the fallen Yuanying ancestor of Qingyun Sect who insisted on his own way, Elder Xue would be the head of Qingyun Sect."
"Have you heard that Tu Jiaojiao and Xue Chen's marriage was actually because Sect Leader Tu didn't want to, so he set a trap for Xue Chen."
"I have heard that Tu Jiaojiao has many lovers in Qingyun Sect. As long as there is a good-looking male disciple, she will harm him..."
While everyone was watching the show and gossiping, the outcome of the battle between Sect Leader Tu and Elder Xue had already been decided.
“Bang!”
Sect Leader Tu was knocked to the ground by a palm strike.
He stared at Elder Xue with bloodshot eyes: "How dare you commit treason? Do you still want to stay in Qingyun Sect?"
Elder Xue landed lightly on the ground, looking down at Sect Leader Tu from a high position, sneering, "The next Sect Leader Competition is coming soon. If I win you, I will be the new Sect Leader. If I lose, I will lead all my disciples to withdraw from Qingyun Sect."
Sect Leader Tu gnashed his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Are you threatening me?!"
Once Elder Xue leads his disciples with strong fighting ability to withdraw from Qingyun Sect, no matter which force they are affiliated with, it will be a heavy blow to Qingyun Sect.
Elder Xue said meaningfully: "How can it be a threat? As early as when my son was plotted against by you and your daughter, I was ready to either replace you as the head of the sect or leave Qingyun Sect."
He spoke calmly, but the look he gave Sect Leader Tu was filled with ruthlessness and determination to fight to the death.
Sect Leader Tu grinned and said, "Okay! I want to see if you have the ability!"
Elder Xue looked at him with contempt, then turned and walked towards Xue Chen.
"Chen'er, let's go!"
"Yes, father!"
Xue Chen pulled Qin Shu's sleeve and joined Elder Xue's disciples. They boarded the spaceship and headed straight for Qingyun Sect.
Time flies and half a month has passed.
Qin Shu and Xue Chen were escorted to the Duobao Pavilion auction and were immediately welcomed by Zhao Qing into the VIP room upstairs.
"Master Qin Dan, these are the books that will be auctioned today. Take a look and see if you like any of them."
Qin Shu took the book and flipped through it, then said with a smile, "I'll compete for it if I see someone I like. Daoist Zhao, go ahead and do your work. I don't need any special care."
When Zhao Qing saw that Qin Shu was not interested in the books, his expression paused and he felt that Qin Shu was even more unfathomable.
You have to know that the items in the book that are about to be auctioned are treasures that many monks are fighting for.
Zhao Qing was silent for only a few seconds, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll have someone bring some food and drinks, Master Qin Dan, please wait."
Qin Shu's smile remained unchanged: "Thank you for your help."
Zhao Qing became more respectful: "You're welcome."
Soon, beautifully crafted food containing spiritual energy was brought in, as well as spiritual wine and tea that were great nourishments for the monks.
When Qin Shu and Xue Chen were the only ones left in the room, the latter couldn't wait to pick up the wine on the table.
"Qin Shu, you really impressed me. You even made Duobao Pavilion give you such a grand reception."
"This spiritual wine is brewed with high-grade spiritual fruits. It not only has the effect of increasing spiritual energy, but also can satisfy the appetite. If this were in Qingyun Sect, they would not be willing to take it out unless it was a grand occasion."
While talking, Xue Chen drank two glasses of wine in a row.
After hearing what he said, Qin Shu also picked up the spirit wine on the table and tasted it.
As soon as the spiritual wine entered the stomach, it spread throughout the body, turned into spiritual energy, rushed to the dantian and turned into a ball of hot air.
Qin Shu smacked her lips, a lazy and hazy look appeared in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "This wine is indeed extraordinary."
If this happened in modern times, a seriously ill person would drink a glass of wine to cleanse his marrow and bones, and all his illnesses would be cured.
"Yeah, I am grateful to you today."
Xue Chen's face was full of enjoyment, and he drank five or six cups in a row before stopping.
Qin Shu only drank three cups of spiritual wine and stopped touching the wine pot. She ate some snacks made of spiritual fruits and spiritual rice.
Xue Chen picked up the book left by Zhao Qing and looked through the auction items with pictures and annotations inside.
He asked doubtfully, "Qin Shu, you came here for the Moon Soul Condensing Frost Grass this time, why didn't you tell Zhao Qing? Wouldn't it be better to get it directly from them?"
Qin Shu looked through the window at the full seats downstairs and said calmly, "I have already settled the payment with them. Why should I owe them a favor for something I can buy with spirit stones?"
She doesn't feel a sense of belonging here and doesn't want to be involved with too many people.
Xue Chen is an exception.
This person knows how to deal with current affairs and has a sense of boundaries. It's surprisingly nice to get along with him.
Xue Chen looked at the coldness and aloofness between Qin Shu's eyebrows, smiled, and said generously: "Yes! We have spirit stones. No matter how rare the Moon Soul Condensing Frost Grass is, as long as we can buy it with spirit stones, we don't need to have too much involvement with Duobao Pavilion. You must know that there is no business without fraud. They are too good to you, they must have some intentions towards you."
He wished he could hold Qin Shu's thighs all by himself.
Qin Shu glanced at Xue Chen and opened her red lips slightly: "What do you intend to do with me?"
Xue Chen said cheekily with a smile: "Of course I will hug your thighs tightly and beg you to take me flying with you!"
Qin Shu said with a smile: "You are a dignified Golden Core Patriarch after all, and this is all you can do!"
Xue Chen said proudly: "You don't understand, for us cultivators, being able to recognize a gem and meet a noble person is the greatest help on the road to cultivation.
I know you are not an ordinary person, and you will soar to the sky sooner or later. It is a godsend for me to hold your thigh at this time."
Facing Xue Chen's compliments, Qin Shu poured cold water on him mercilessly: "You probably need to find someone to take a good look at your eyes. I don't have such ambitions.
Now I just want to eat and wait for death, then heal Brother Lan's injuries, and then leave here, return to our home, and enjoy the happiness of family life."
Xue Chen already knew that Qin Shu's Taoist partner was seriously injured and was sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake. Qin Shu came to bid for the Yuepo Ningshuang Grass today for the sake of Brother Lan, whom she held in her heart.
He smiled without saying anything and did not refute Qin Shu's words.
Xue Chen only believed in his own intuition. During the time he spent with Qin Shu, the appearance of the golden dragon, the man in the black robe, and Qin Shu's unique talent for alchemy, destined her to embark on a path of cultivating immortals faster than others.
Qin Shu suddenly said, "The auction is about to begin."
"Thank you all for coming to Duobao Pavilion's grand auction... Let's welcome today's first auction item, a high-level magical weapon, the Meteor Twin Hammers... The starting price is 100,000 Spiritual Stones!"
After the auctioneer introduced the origin, power, and price of the Meteor Twin Hammers, he stepped aside.
"I'll offer 250,000 Spiritual Stones!"
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"
“…”
"Five hundred thousand spirit stones!"
The fierce bidding and bidding one after another officially pushed the auction to its climax.
Qin Shu listened to the increasingly high bids, her fingers on the table curled slightly, and she felt a little uneasy.
She now has more than three million spirit stones in her hand, including the rewards from killing people and stealing treasures in the secret realm, as well as the rewards from Duobao Pavilion and three million spirit stones from the Xue family. During this period, she spent two million spirit stones on buying spiritual herbs for refining pills. She doesn't know if she can get the Yuepo Ningshuang Grass today.
The Meteor Twin Hammers were quickly auctioned off for as much as one million spirit stones.
Soon the second auction item was brought to the stage.
Next, magical instruments, elixirs, talismans, spiritual herbs, and all kinds of dazzling goods were brought onto the stage.
"Next, there are 20 Moon Soul Condensing Frost Grasses! Its leaves condense moonlight, collect the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform into spiritual grass. It has the effect of stabilizing the soul and can also be used to refine heaven-level elixirs. The starting price is 500,000!"
The voice of the auctioneer downstairs was clearly heard by Qin Shu and Xue Chen, and they both sat up straight.
Xue Chen reminded him, "Qin Shu, twenty Moon Soul Condensing Frost Grasses are a lot, and the starting price is so high, which shows that many people are bidding for it today. Just keep bidding, and I'll cover the price for you!"
Qin Shu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
