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

How could Su Chen not have noticed this?

It's not worth having a mere female cultivator remind you.

"I don't like people guessing what I'm thinking."

"I'm tired..."

Su Chen snorted coldly.

He then lifted his foot and stretched it out.

Ying Ning'er quickly took Su Chen's foot and began to massage it diligently with her little hands.

Did I offend my senior?

Su Chen wasn't actually angry with her.

It was hoped that this female cultivator would know her place and not make wild guesses about Su Chen's thoughts, lest she try to appear even more intimate with Su Chen later.

Given Su Chen's current location, the situation here is unclear and uncertain.

It might implicate this female cultivator.

In fact, Su Chen had some feeling about it too.

That is, ever since she arrived here, Lu Yao seems to have been trying to numb herself.

Although I don't know what happened.

But we still need to be a little careful.

It was just a few more insignificant items.

A jade amulet.

The monks below were making a great commotion.

Su Chen didn't bother to look up again.

That纨绔 (playboy/spoiled brat) cultivator bid for the Youth Preservation Pill.

Right now, he should be rewarding the female cultivator who is clinging to him.

After all, in the fat man's eyes, this guy was just trying to take a picture to win a smile from that glamorous woman.

But that guy was strange; he completely ignored the beauty beside him.

Instead, he stood up from the cushion.

The female cultivator who was left standing to the side was also completely bewildered.

Su Chen frowned.

I could tell that the kid's gaze was fixed on me.

The纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled, dissolute young man) monk stood with his hands behind his back.

We walked through the huge crowd.

Step by step, they walked towards Su Chen's private seat.

The surrounding cultivators were all staring at the items up for auction on the stage.

Surprisingly, very few people noticed this scene.

The cultivator walked to the gauze curtain outside Su Chen's private room.

"Fellow Daoist Su."

"Back in the Xuanhuang Continent."

"I have heard of your esteemed name, fellow Daoist."

"Would it be possible for us to talk?"

Su Chen was genuinely surprised by these words.

They were actually fellow cultivators from the Xuanhuang Continent, and they even recognized him.

Speaking of which, Su Chen naturally knew a general idea about the Void Refinement cultivators on the Xuanhuang Continent.

Luoyan City is naturally Li Ziran, and then there's that one from the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

If we're talking about Void Refinement Grand Cultivators that even Su Chen doesn't know, then there are probably only those in Star Luo who he hasn't fully recognized.

This person is most likely a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage.

They are either cultivators from Xingluo, or they are truly only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Clearly, Su Chen felt it was more likely the former.

After all, if one were truly a Nascent Soul cultivator, one would not address oneself as a fellow Daoist.

They will most likely refer to themselves as a senior.

Before Su Chen could think more about the cultivator, he casually raised his hand.

A gentle spiritual force supported the mutton-fat jade bottle.

Through the gap in the gauze curtain, it was delivered to Su Chen from a distance.

"This item."

"Consider this a small gift from me to establish a friendship with Fellow Daoist Su."

Su Chen reached out and took the jade bottle.

That kid.

I spent one million spirit stones to bid on this item.

We've gone around in such a big circle.

Was it all for himself?

Such a keen understanding of human relationships and worldly wisdom.

They went to great lengths to get closer to me.

What's inside the gourd?

Even if it's just social niceties, it still cost so many spirit stones.

Given this sincerity, Su Chen had no reason not to listen to what this person had to say.

If you still don't appreciate someone's kindness at this point, it does seem like you're being ungrateful.

With a fingertip, a gentle touch.

The hanging gauze curtain floated to both sides with the help of spiritual energy.

Then the monk stepped into the private room.

Ying Ning'er saw that a guest had arrived.

He hurriedly crawled half a step on his knees past Su Chen's feet.

He knelt down respectfully to the side.

This girl is quite obedient.

Su Chen glanced at her.

This girl isn't stupid.

The conversation between the two great beings.

What if you hear something you shouldn't?

That would be a disaster that would backfire.

Ying Ning'er lowered her head, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"Young master."

"Should Yingning'er step back first?"

Su Chen raised his hand and pressed it down.

"No need."

Upon seeing this, the cultivator burst out laughing.

"Fellow Daoist, what magnanimity you possess."

He didn't stand on ceremony either.

He lifted the hem of his robe and sat down on the cushion opposite Su Chen.

"To be honest, fellow Daoist..."

"That's why I've come here."

"There is an extraordinary opportunity that I would like to share with you, fellow Daoist."

Opportunity.

Su Chen's hand holding the teacup remained still.

This kind of thing.

This wasn't the first time Su Chen had encountered this situation.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Who would willingly share their own opportunities with others?

There is only one explanation.

That is to say, this opportunity is a tough nut to crack.

It's something one person simply can't obtain.

"Oh?"

"What opportunity?"

It would be a lie to say I'm not interested.

However, that depends on the circumstances.

If you're confident, you should definitely give it a shot.

Besides, they've already shown such sincerity.

Immediately afterwards, the cultivator seemed to have discerned Su Chen's thoughts.

Without intending to hide anything any longer, he mobilized a wisp of spiritual energy.

In that instant, no one else could perceive it.

However, Su Chen and Ying Ning'er, who was standing next to him, could naturally sense it.

He really is a Void Refinement cultivator!

In terms of cultivation level, he is not much different from Su Chen.

"It is I."

His name is Meng Yuan.

"Just like you, fellow Daoist."

"He is also a cultivator from the Xuanhuang Continent."

"Unexpectedly, I've come here to travel in the Black Mountain Continent."

"I have stumbled upon an opportunity that would benefit even those of us at the Refinement of Emptiness cultivation level."

These words were spoken.

Su Chen's eyelids lifted slightly.

This is a beneficial opportunity for cultivators who have reached the Void Refinement stage.

These words carry considerable weight.

The realm of Refining Emptiness.

In the human realm, this is already the pinnacle.

The spiritual energy in this place is so thin that it is simply insufficient for a cultivator to improve their Void Refinement cultivation.

I want to take it a step further.

It's as difficult as climbing to heaven.

It can make one's cultivation level of Void Refinement a matter of good fortune.

That's truly a once-in-a-millennium event.

Tell me about it.

Su Chen chuckled softly.

Meng Yuan shook his head.

He pulled a piece of paper out of his sleeve.

It was handed over remotely.

"This place is inconvenient."

"Once this auction is over..."

"Three days later."

"I would like to invite you, fellow Daoist, to come to the area indicated on this note and have a chat with me."

Su Chen took the note without saying anything.

Seeing this, Meng Yuan did not linger.

He stood up, bowed to Su Chen, and gave him another salute.

Only then did Ying Ning'er, who was kneeling to the side, dare to raise her head slightly.

There was also a hint of confusion in those eyes.

Su Chen ignored him.

He simply stuffed the jade bottle into his storage bag.

Fellow Daoists

"The grand finale of tonight's event has arrived."

That shout.

All the cultivators instantly perked up.

It wasn't for any other reason than that many cultivators had heard before they came that a supreme treasure had appeared in the world today.

The auction house manager clapped his hands.

Two graceful female cultivators emerged, carrying a tray.

Su Chen frowned.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a calligraphy brush.

A commotion erupted below.

"Is this the grand finale?"

"A broken pen?"

"Is this some kind of bluff?"

Discussions arose.

To be honest, those below the Nascent Soul stage naturally couldn't see through the mysteries of this treasure.

However, all the cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage present were energized.

There are traces of the Great Dao on that pen holder.
