Battle Through the Heavens: The Soul Emperor's Only Daughter, I Am the Young Master of the Soul

Chapter 34 The Auction Begins

Three days later, Blackrock City.

Because of an auction, prominent figures from surrounding towns flocked to Blackrock City, making the city even more lively.

Alchemists' Guild.

Master Otto paced back and forth in front of a luxurious guest room. As the start time of the auction drew closer, and seeing that Hun Qinghao still hadn't come out, Master Otto clapped his hands anxiously.

"Master, that person outside has been waiting for a long time. Aren't we going out yet?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King leaned against the door, glanced at Master Otto outside, and then turned to ask Hun Qinghao.

Hun Qinghao was sitting to the side watching Yao Chen refine pills when he heard this. He walked over and slapped the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King on the head.

"Snapped!"

"What's the rush? It'll be done soon, you won't be late."

After Hun Qing turned around, the Amethyst Winged Lion King secretly glared at her.

As expected of the female demon who strikes fear into the hearts of many magical beasts in the Monster Mountain Range, he was just asking a question, was it really necessary to be so fierce?

"Alright, Xiao Qing'er, I'll rest for a bit. You and Da Zi should hurry to the auction, don't be late!" With the final pill finished, Yao Chen put it back into the cauldron, said wearily, and then returned to his ring.

Yao Chen was holding his breath, and he had been refining pills non-stop for three days in a row, which had indeed greatly depleted his soul power.

Hun Qing put all the jade tablets containing pills into the purple jade ring, then touched the black ring on his thumb. His eyes flashed, and a ray of light shone from his fingertip as a stream of pure battle qi energy entered the ring.

Inside the black ring, Yao Chen saw this energy and couldn't help but chuckle, all the gloom of the past three days vanishing.

It seems the little girl isn't entirely uninterested; he's just waiting for the day she'll be willing to call him "teacher."

Outside.

Just as Master Otto was anxiously waiting and pacing around in circles, Hun Qinghao opened the door, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King followed him out.

"Miss Qing!" Master Otto exclaimed in surprise.

Hun Qinghao gave an apologetic smile and nodded slightly to Master Otto, "I'm sorry to have kept Master Otto waiting!"

"It's not too late, it's not too late," Master Otto quickly said with a smile and a wave of his hand.

"Let's go, we're going to the auction," Hun Qinghao said with a faint smile, leading the Amethyst Winged Lion King to the other end of the corridor.

Upon seeing this, Master Otto quickly caught up with them and stood shoulder to shoulder.

In the main hall of the Alchemists' Guild, President Frank sat in the main seat, flanked by two young women with strikingly different styles.

"Who is she? She wants to come to the auction with us, and I have to ask my teacher to invite her. Can't she come by herself?" The woman in red pouted and complained with great dissatisfaction.

The woman in blue opposite her frowned slightly upon hearing this and kindly advised, "Lin Fei, Miss Qing has an extraordinary background. She is a five-star Dou Wang at such a young age. Please watch your words."

"Besides, there is still time. I believe that someone like Miss Qing will not be late."

Linfei glared at Xuemei, who was speaking, and said, "You're the only one who can pretend to be a good person."

Xue Mei's expression remained calm. "I was just stating the facts."

"Alright, you two, stop arguing." President Frank suddenly spoke up, then looked at his disciple and said, "Xue Mei, go and take a look."

"Yes," Xue Mei replied, and just as she was about to get up, Master Otto's voice came from outside the door, "Hahaha, no need to go, we're already here."

Seeing that Soul Lord and Master Otto had entered together, Frank quickly got up to greet them.

"I'm sorry to have kept the host waiting!" Hun Qinghao nodded.

"It's alright, it's alright." Frank waved his hand with a smile. "Now that everyone's here, let's head to the Blackrock City Auction House."

Hun Qinghao readily agreed, and as she turned around, her deep gaze swept over Lin Fei with a cool look, as if she could see through everything.

To Linfei, that glance was incredibly intimidating, making her heart skip a beat.

Seeing that Hun Qinghao only glanced at her and made no other move, Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest with lingering fear.

Linfei's actions were completely observed by Xuemei, who couldn't help but give her a mocking smile.

Linfei: "..."

That woman, Xue Mei, is truly detestable! Blackrock City Auction.

The auction hadn't started yet, but the lobby on the first floor was already full of people, and the private rooms upstairs were gradually filling up as well.

In a private room on the fourth floor, Sheng Linglong, dressed in a luxurious black robe with gold trim, sat on a chair, looking coldly at the auction stage on the first floor. Sheng Feng and Sheng Yu stood behind him.

Several days ago, Holy Spirit Long arrived in the Jia Ma Empire. When he learned that Hun Qinghao had a particularly unusual attitude towards Xiao Yan, the beast in his heart roared wildly.

However, the Holy Spirit Long still retained her rationality and did not go on a rampage to slaughter the Xiao family. Instead, on a dark and windy night, she put a sack over Xiao Yan's head, beat him up, and then left.

Sure enough, having been following Hun Qinghao's trail, they rushed over with their men as soon as they heard she had appeared in Blackrock City.

Shengfeng: "Your Highness, Miss Qing'er has entered the auction house and is in the private room directly below you."

Sheng Yu: "Your Highness, are you sure Miss Qing'er will be interested in the Ice Spirit Cold Spring we brought out? This thing is of no use to Miss Qing'er."

Saint Spirit Long smiled and said, "Sister Qing'er likes to collect strange and unusual things. Whether they are useful or not, she will buy them."

Then, he will ask the auction house to let him meet the person who won the bid for the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and the chance encounter after five years will come.

Shengfeng and Shengyu were somewhat confused about what their prince was thinking. The person he longed for was right down there, and he could have just gone to see her directly, so why did he have to go through all this trouble?

Directly below the private room where Holy Spirit Long was, on the third floor, in a private room, Hun Qinghao sat in the front row of chairs, with the Amethyst Winged Lion King on his left and Chairman Frank and Master Otto on his right.

As for Linfei and Xuemei, they naturally sat behind their own teacher.

Not long after, the auction began. A beautiful auctioneer with a shapely figure walked gracefully onto the auction stage, eliciting cheers from the guests on the first floor.

One by one, the items were brought out for auction: pills, weapons, medicinal herbs...

Hun Qing glanced at Chairman Frank, who kept bidding, and yawned in boredom.

She didn't like any of the items up for auction.

She eats pills like candy, so she doesn't need to buy them at all. As for weapons, the ones she uses are all personally crafted by her father, the Soul Emperor, and are far superior to those outside. As for medicinal herbs, she bought quite a lot three days ago.

Other things were not valuable enough to arouse her interest.

President Frank had just won a bid for a medicinal herb he wanted when he turned to see the bored Hun Qinghao and asked with a smile, "Miss Qing, didn't you see anything you liked?"

Hun Qinghao shook his head. "Not yet, but let's see."
