Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Old man, I want your Spirit Returning Sand."

The young cultivator glanced at the box and pointed directly at the jade box in Su Chen's hand.

Su Chen was taken aback; this was indeed unusual.

How could something you've set your sights on be snatched away right in front of you?

If I reveal my identity now, this person will probably give me some face.

But Su Chen naturally couldn't let this thing be exposed too early.

"Young master."

"This Spirit Returning Sand was the one that this fellow Daoist initially set his sights on."

The old cultivator still had some backbone; he pointed at Su Chen.

In fact, Su Chen naturally understood that the price he offered was hard for the old cultivator in front of him to refuse.

"he?"

The young cultivator then turned his gaze to Su Chen.

He looked me up and down.

Seeing Su Chen dressed in a low-key blue robe, looking exactly like a poor rogue cultivator.

The next moment, he practically looked down his nose at Su Chen.

"Who do we have here?"

"You, a mere rogue cultivator, dare to try and steal from me?"

"If you know what's good for you, put the box down right now."

"Don't dirty my eyes."

"Some people are not someone a lowly rogue cultivator like you can afford to offend!"

As the young monk spoke, he even fanned his nose in disgust.

Su Chen almost burst out laughing.

The young people in Tian Shu Star City are all incredibly arrogant.

This person's cultivation level is far lower than mine, yet he dares to be so arrogant.

This is enough to show that she has been spoiled rotten.

No one would do something like this unless they were the son of some old monster.

After all, the cultivation world is incredibly cruel; it's already a miracle that this person has lived to such an old age.

"I cannot agree with what you say, young master."

"There's always a rule about first come, first served, right?"

Su Chen replied indifferently.

Naturally, they wouldn't take this guy seriously...

"rule?"

"In this Tian Shu Star City."

"This young master is the rule."

The young cultivator seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

These words really piqued Su Chen's interest; that was quite a boast!

In Tian Shu Star City, is he the rule?

"Brother Wang!"

"Brother, you mustn't!"

A figure rushed in.

Chi Ling turned pale as soon as he entered the door.

She grabbed Su Chen's arm tightly.

"This is Young Master Ye."

"A disciple of Xuan Yang, a disciple of the Starry Sky Dao Sect."

"We can't afford to offend them, we really can't afford to offend them!"

Chi Ling leaned close to Su Chen's ear and whispered very softly.

A thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

For Chiling, such an existence was already beyond their reach.

What's more, what about offending them?

Su Chen understood; it turned out to be a nominal disciple of the Nascent Soul stage.

No wonder he's so arrogant.

However, he was just a nominal disciple, and Su Chen didn't really take him seriously.

However, given his special status, he couldn't afford to cause trouble at the moment.

The real business is finding the Mi Luo.

It's not worth arguing with a junior.

Furthermore, if the people of the Starry Sky Dao Sect really take notice of us.

If I were to make contact with the people of Xingluo, the news would surely spread quickly.

It might even cause some trouble for Luoyan City.

Su Chen glanced at Ye Chen.

He casually placed the jade box on the counter.

"Since Young Master Ye likes it."

"Then I'll give it to you, young master."

After Su Chen finished speaking, he turned to leave.

This decisiveness surprised Ye Chen for a moment.

Immediately, he realized that this poor rogue cultivator was afraid of him.

At this moment, Ye Chen was completely carried away.

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

Ye Chen snorted coldly and stuffed the jade box into his pocket.

It should have ended here.

But Ye Chen is the kind of person who takes advantage of kindness.

Seeing that Su Chen was so easy to manipulate, they became even more interested.

"Hey, you poor bastard."

"stop."

"I just overheard this guy next to you talking about the auction?"

"Someone like you, a rogue cultivator, wants to go to an auction?"

"However, if you are willing to become my disciple and serve me..."

"I can bring it in for you."

"After all, you need to spend spirit stones to enter an auction."

Ye Chen beckoned to Su Chen's retreating figure with his finger.

Su Chen stopped in his tracks.

How ridiculous! I have more spirit stones than I can spend, why would I need you to bring them?

Moreover, how dare he, a mere Golden Core cultivator, be so arrogant in front of me?

And you even expect me to serve you?

He still had a way to die, if not for not wanting to cause trouble.

In just a breath, he could die and his soul would vanish.

Ye Chen tilted his head, a half-smile on his face.

Su Chen did not turn around.

"What, you don't want to?"

"Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to handle it!"

"Fine."

"When the time comes, I'll show you what I'm made of."

"What do you mean, completely different?"

After saying this, Ye Chen led his entourage away in a swagger.

The hem of the brocade robe swept across the threshold, kicking up a small cloud of dust.

Chi Ling finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

My back was completely soaked.

"Brother Wang, I'm not trying to be mean."

"In that situation just now, it was the right thing to endure it if possible."

"The Xuan Yang Elder behind Ye Chen is not someone to be trifled with."

Chiling wiped away his sweat, his face filled with lingering fear.

Su Chen smiled but didn't say anything more.

...

Those days passed quickly.

Before they knew it, it was the day of the auction.

It was still dark.

Beneath a high platform in the city, a large group of cultivators had already gathered.

Everyone stared longingly in the direction of the high platform.

Su Chen followed Chi Ling and arrived at this place.

"Brother, you are unaware of something."

"This auction house isn't a place anyone can just walk into."

"We need to verify your qualifications first."

Chiling led the way while explaining.

"Capital verification?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

"right."

"You need to prove you have the ability to participate in the auction, and that you have enough spirit stones on you."

"Otherwise, any Tom, Dick, or Harry would squeeze in."

"What if some poor wretch goes in and causes trouble? Wouldn't that break the auction house's rules?"

As Chi Ling spoke, he found a steward to act as a guarantor and recommend Su Chen.

The steward sized Su Chen up and down.

They didn't make things too difficult for me.

With Chi Ling, the captain of the punitive expedition team, vouching for them, things should be alright.

...

Only after passing the verification of funds can one truly enter the auction house's territory.

The sight before him made Su Chen pause for a moment.

A long bridge suddenly appeared, lying across the sky.

The bridge has many twists and turns and is paved with some kind of dark stone.

Beneath the bridge, there was a churning, boiling solution.

The solution shimmered with a faint blue light.

Bubbling and gurgling.

A wave of scorching heat surged up from the bridge.

"This is the Nine-Bend Soul Bridge."

"Beneath the bridge lies a stellar marrow solution."

Chi Ling's voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels.

"Brother, do not be careless! This bridge is absolutely not a place to fly."

"Anyone who dares to leap across the bridge."

"The restrictions on the bridge immediately pulled the person down."

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded...

The bridge was narrower than I had imagined.

There are no guardrails on either side.

Below lies the boiling star marrow.

Many cultivators with insufficient cultivation walked on the bridge with trepidation, as if treading on thin ice.

Su Chen found it increasingly interesting the more he thought about it.

One can easily guess the intention behind this bridge.
