Immortality began with the Demon Suppression Division

Time flies.

Before they knew it, it was time for the annual auction at Wanbaoge in Qingyuan City.

evening,

The clouds in the west resembled spilled cinnabar, thick as flames in some places and thin as gauze in others.

Approaching the magnificent pavilion of Wanbaoge.

Luxury carriages came and went in an endless stream, parked in an orderly manner at various points along the street.

One by one, members of the upper-class families and high-ranking martial artists of Qingyuan City entered the classical pavilion with smiles on their faces.

This auction was even more lively than in previous years.

Families from other major cities in the North also came to join the fun.

By the time Luo Chen and Xiao Xiuzhu arrived together, the event was about to begin.

"Tsk tsk, this is quite a lively scene."

Luo Chen stepped inside and saw a red carpet laid out on a high platform in front of him, where a refined old man quietly arrived at the center.

After showing the invitation.

Luo Chen and his companion were led to a private room on the third floor of the attic.

The private room has a viewing platform on the inside, with beaded curtains hanging from it. Even sitting in the elegant seats, you can see the auction items below.

"Brother, I guess I'm benefiting from your help."

Xiao Xiuzhu sat in the chair with a smile, looking sentimental.

If it weren't for Luo Chen's sake, he wouldn't have been qualified to enter the private room.

An ordinary demon-suppressing captain's status is enough to allow him to act with impunity.

However, this place is filled with too many powerful and wealthy people and martial artists, so an ordinary Demon Suppression Captain really doesn't have a good position.

"This identity as a prodigy on the Hidden Dragon Ranking is quite useful."

Luo Chen nodded secretly; the prestige of the Hidden Dragon Ranking was still increasing.

His gaze swept across the various stands.

The place was packed with people; important figures, rarely seen on ordinary days, had gathered together.

"Hey bro, got your eye on anyone?"

"It's about to begin," Xiao Xiuzhu asked with a smile.

Their invitations all listed some of the items to be auctioned, in order to attract people to attend.

Luo Chen had a purpose in mind when he came here, so he nodded.

"I'm actually quite interested in the tenth item from the bottom."

He didn't hide it and told the truth.

Xiao Xiuzhu gave a bitter smile.

"I don't have your wealth."

The final twenty items were beyond the reach of ordinary martial artists; they required the backing of powerful forces.

During the time the two were talking.

On the red carpet platform, the old man looked around and spoke loudly.

"...Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Wanbaoge Auction..."

"Because the treasures involved in the transaction are too precious to be measured in worldly gold and silver, esteemed guests, you may engage in barter!"

"Without further ado, please see the first item up for auction: millennia-old icy marrow from the depths of the extreme cold!"

As the first item was revealed on the platform.

The auction has officially begun.

Luo Chen wasn't particularly interested in the things mentioned earlier.

However, I still watched the bids from all sides to gain an understanding of the value of the various treasures.

During this time, Xiao Xiuzhu spent a thousand taels of gold to buy a large spear.

Looking at the coiled dragon spear that was presented to him.

The pain on Xiao Xiuzhu's face disappeared, replaced by eyes full of affection.

"Congratulations, Brother Xiao, on acquiring this precious artifact."

Luo Chen offered his congratulations.

The auction continued, and one rare treasure after another appeared, allowing those without the means to purchase to feast their eyes.

As time went on.

More than half of the items in this auction have been sold.

Luo Chen finally made his move, setting his sights on the crimson meteorite on the stage.

"A third-tier medicinal herb!"

As he finished speaking, the sounds of fierce bidding gradually faded away.

A variety of gazes, some subtle and some overt, turned toward them.

The old man on the high platform made the announcement.

This crimson meteorite also fell into Luo Chen's hands.

The private room was knocked on.

A middle-aged man, followed by a beautiful maid, entered the room.

"Let's check it out."

Luo Chen took out a wooden box from his storage space and handed it to the people from Wanbaoge who had come.

After careful inspection.

The appraiser from Wanbaoge bowed slightly to Luo Chen, and a maid stepped forward and placed the crimson meteorite iron she was holding on the table.

After the people in Wanbaoge left.

Luo Chen reached out and picked up the meteorite iron, nodding secretly.

This meteorite can be forged by the master craftsmen of the Demon Suppression Bureau and incorporated into the golden scales.

This will enhance the strength of the golden scales.

……

"Please now look at the final ten items in this auction."

"The first item is the Yin-Yang Mother-Child Lotus!"

"Born in the crevices where the sun's rays meet the yin's depths, a plant with two flowers."

Yang lotus seeds can replenish pure yang energy, while yin lotus seeds can nourish pure yin energy.

It is an excellent tonic for cultivating the Great Dao of Yin-Yang Harmony.

It is also a precious natural treasure for comprehending the true meaning of Yin and Yang!

As the old man lifted the red cloth.

A pair of lotus flowers swayed in the breeze, the left lotus golden-red like the blazing sun, the right lotus jet black like the stillness of the night.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

The old man looked around and, seeing that the time was right, spoke.

"This item is only available for barter; rare and exceptional materials will be given priority!"

Inside the private room.

Luo Chen couldn't help but sit up straight.

Looking down at the golden and silver lotus blossoms, he was filled with great interest.

If he were to take this great elixir and continue his cultivation of Yin-Yang True Qi, he should reap unexpected rewards.

It will at least reduce the consumption of lifespan.

"Five Tier 3 Great Herbs!"

Luo Chen's quote.

Immediately following, a deep voice came from the private room above.

"Eight third-tier spiritual herbs!"

"I'll offer nine third-tier spiritual herbs!"

As bids were announced from each of the private rooms.

Luo Chen did not make another offer, but was weighing his options.

This Yin-Yang Lotus is only at the third tier, but because it is so rare, its value far exceeds its actual value.

After thinking for a moment, Luo Chen directly stated his bottom line.

"A fourth-tier spiritual herb!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

After a long while, no one else made a bid.

On the high platform, the old man's smile remained unchanged as he loudly announced.

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP room number 36 for winning the prize."

A cold snort came from the third private room above.

The sound wasn't loud, but it wasn't suppressed and carried throughout the entire attic.

Sitting opposite Luo Chen, Xiao Xiuzhu was truly convinced.

He gave a thumbs-up to the composed Luo Chen.

A short while later.

The people from Wanbaoge knocked on the door of VIP room number thirty-six again.

Luo Chen took out the only fourth-tier spiritual herb he had obtained from the Dragon Palace and placed it on the table in front of him.

Although this "Frosty Soul Nourishing Flower" is a fourth-tier spiritual herb, it is a treasure for increasing soul power in the Divine Realm.

Divine Intent Realm martial artists cannot afford fourth-tier spiritual medicines, and Dharma Aspect Realm martial artists generally do not need them.

Therefore, its value varies from person to person.

After both parties have completed their checks.

Satisfied, they left.

Luo Chen gently stroked the twin lotus, feeling the restlessness of the Yin-Yang True Qi within his body, and was very satisfied.

Seal it up and store it away.

He was no longer able to bid on the subsequent items, so he could only watch the excitement.

The highly anticipated drop of "dragon essence blood" was obtained by the third VIP room.

The final item in the auction was not mentioned on the invitation.

But as the treasure was revealed, the scene erupted in excitement once again.

"The Li Huo Token grants the right to mine the Li Huo Secret Realm for a century..."

Finally, the grand prize was the ownership of a secret realm, even if it was only for a hundred years, which still made countless noble families flock to it.

These final items were prepared specifically for these people.

Luo Chen and Xiao Xiuzhu watched for a while, then took advantage of the excitement and left first.
