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

A mere Nascent Soul cultivator in the late stage was able to casually trigger a heavenly tribulation.

What kind of powerful entity must be standing behind this?

Manager Sun's dark eyes flickered a few times, their expression shifting uncertainly.

In the end, he snorted, plopped back down, and never dared to raise the sign again.

"Twenty million per time."

"Twenty million twice."

"make a deal!"

The purple-robed auctioneer brought down the gavel, his face beaming with joy.

A gentle breeze swept by, and the curtain of the private room was gently lifted from the outside.

Two figures slowly walked over, both of them at the Nascent Soul stage.

The man at the head of the group bowed respectfully to Su Chen.

Just by looking at their attire, you can tell they're from this auction house.

Su Chen knew that this auction house had powerful connections.

But in this Xuanhuang Continent, there are very few people who are not Li Ziran's juniors.

Of course, they were very polite.

"So you are a distinguished guest under the tutelage of Senior Li Ziran."

"The owner of my auction house would like to invite you, young master, to come over for a chat."

The man quickly said something to Su Chen.

Su Chen waved his hand...

Clearly, this auction house wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with a Grandmaster of the Void Refinement stage.

However, Su Chen didn't want to get into this trouble.

In any case, I now belong to the people of Luoyan City.

Li Tianqi is Li Ziran's granddaughter, but let's leave that aside.

Li Ziran had been kind to him.

I can't easily cause trouble for Luoyan City.

"No need, I have other things to do."

Su Chen simply said one sentence.

The two envoys exchanged a glance, but did not dare to force them to stay. They bowed and left.

Immediately afterward, a cultivator who appeared to be in charge quickly walked up.

He held a jade pendant in his hand and placed it on Su Chen's forehead.

A control mark of the slave seal slowly sank into Su Chen's sea of ​​consciousness along with his spiritual sense.

Thus, the contract was considered successful, and Wang Mei became Su Chen's spirit slave.

Su Chen's lips twitched; he felt a pang of pain at the thought of spending 20 million.

He took out a moon-white gauze dress from his storage bag; it was a gift he had bought for Lin Wanwan.

But now, seeing her alluring curves on full display, Su Chen couldn't just take her away like that.

"Put them on!"

The gauze skirt fluttered and landed in front of Wang Mei.

Wang Mei looked at the clothes, and after a long moment of tension, she finally relaxed.

"This lowly slave...thank you...Master..."

She knelt down immediately, clutching the dress tightly to her chest.

At this moment, I dared not show the slightest disrespect.

Having already agreed to Su Chen's request, Wang Mei completely resigned herself to her fate.

My becoming Su Chen's slave is, in the end, a result of all those causes and effects, which have come full circle to this day.

"Walk."

Su Chen didn't look at her again, but coldly uttered a single word.

Seeing this, Chi Ling also came out.

Stepping out of the private room, the corridor outside was covered with a thick velvet carpet, making it feel completely silent underfoot.

Chi Ling jogged to Su Chen's side, a fawning smile on his face.

"I had no idea you were Young Master Su from Luoyan City. I was blind to your greatness."

"If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me, young master."

At this moment, Chi Ling was covered in cold sweat.

It's not for any other reason than that they're all seasoned foxes, they know exactly what each other is thinking.

He had originally hoped to gain some benefits from Su Chen.

Now it seems that this person is someone we simply cannot afford to offend.

If I don't quickly take a stand now, and Su Chen really settles scores later, how can I possibly be in a good position?

"You didn't offend me in any way."

"Don't be so formal."

Su Chen glanced at him; this man was quite sensible.

Moreover, Su Chen had no reason to stoop to the level of a rogue cultivator.

More importantly, this person is still useful to Su Chen.

After all, Su Chen hasn't found the person he's looking for yet.

Outside the auction hall was a long staircase made of spirit stones.

In the market town below, it was dusk, and the lanterns of each household lit up one after another, their red and green lights dazzling the eyes.

Su Chen took Wang Mei back to his superior room.

Pushing open the door, I saw a burner of calming incense burning inside, its scent light and subtle.

As soon as Wang Mei entered the room, she knelt down.

This woman has always been proud and unyielding, and Su Chen had no intention of deliberately humiliating her, much less actually selling her to some monster.

But since the spirit stone was spent, it wasn't unreasonable for him to have this woman serve him before he reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Once this woman fulfills her promise—the Primordial Yin and the Mysterious Cauldron—to help him break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then it's over.

Now, treating her as a spirit slave to serve him is a lesson he learned from spending so many spirit stones and her lack of caution in the cultivation world.

It's her duty!

"You shall for now be my lowly slave!"

"As long as you still have value, I can let you die a peaceful death."

Su Chen waved his hand.

He sat down in the rosewood chair, crossing one leg over the other.

That Xuan Ding is a good thing, but it's not very useful right now.

However, Wang Mei's combat strength at the late Nascent Soul stage is still quite respectable.

In addition, her primordial yin essence accumulated over hundreds of years was a great help to his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage.

This deal wasn't a bad one.

Wang Mei naturally understood this principle as well; why should Su Chen save her?

Even if Su Chen buys her, if she loses her value, her fate might not be much better than falling into Manager Sun's hands.

Besides, if I really serve Su Chen well, he might be able to negotiate with me and let me go in the end.

She had been in utter despair for some time, but Su Chen gave her a glimmer of hope.

She absolutely couldn't let go of this lifeline.

Speaking of which, after Wang Mei changed into that moon-white gauze dress and took off her dirty prison clothes, she regained some of her former pure and elegant appearance.

At this moment, it became even more obedient and knelt at Su Chen's feet.

"You are now the master of this lowly slave."

"This lowly slave said he would fulfill his duty as a spirit slave."

Beneath the gauze skirt, a pair of slender, jade-like feet sat beneath her, their graceful curves particularly eye-catching.

Those slender hands gently began to massage Su Chen's feet.

"Don't worry."

"I, Su Chen, am a reasonable person."

"Once you help me achieve the Nascent Soul stage, it will be a fair return on those twenty million spirit stones."

"With that cauldron, you can still serve as a fighting force before I reach the Nascent Soul stage."

"When the time comes, I will remove this slave seal for you."

"I have no interest in humiliating you, and you don't need to call yourself a lowly slave anymore. Just call yourself Mei'er or Wang Mei!"

Su Chen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and hummed.

Wang Mei's hand, which was rubbing her foot, stiffened slightly, clearly indicating that she seemed to have something on her mind.

"Reporting to Master."

"This slave seal cannot be broken by anyone other than a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage."

"This is a mark left by a magical artifact from the upper realm."

"However... since she can't solve it, being able to serve her master is already a great blessing for Wang Mei."

"It's better than... being turned into a lowly sex slave."

His voice trembled as he spoke.
