Chapter 67 Undercurrents
Suzhou, a huge underground modern convention center.
In just two days, the place was cleared out because an unprecedented auction was to be held there in secret.
Chen Beifeng, the King of Jiangnan, was shocked.
However, after inquiring with the six major martial arts families and learning that Yun Chen was responsible for all of this, he stopped asking questions.
The six great families presented six extraordinary treasures.
When the King of Jiangnan learned of this, he also gasped.
Do those treasures that can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years really exist?
He quickly calmed down and decided not to get involved.
The higher-ups of "Primordial World" ordered him to act according to circumstances and ensure that these people do not disrupt the order of the secular world.
The news of this auction has spread throughout the entire Xia Kingdom.
The auctioned treasures have been confirmed.
In an instant, experts from the entire martial arts world, the ancient cultivation world, and the extraordinary world were shocked and rushed to the Jiangnan region.
He has already reported Yun Chen to Chang'an.
The response they gave was: do not provoke them. As long as they do not harm the daily lives of ordinary people, just ignore them!
In fact, this was also the answer given by the Dragon Group.
Chen Beifeng didn't know much about the Dragon Group. He only knew that there was such a special organization that transcended the primordial world, and that the actions of the martial artists in the primordial world had to be in accordance with the instructions of the Dragon Group's leaders.
The immortals there are far more powerful than martial artists.
Since the people there have spoken...
He had no choice but to comply. In fact, he didn't need to be reminded; he had already witnessed how terrifying Yun Chen was, so he naturally wouldn't offend him.
The city of Suzhou at night is a place of undercurrents and a gathering of masters.
Around the main venue, inside an ancient garden mansion, a group of fully armed figures patrolled continuously.
The pavilion in the mansion was brightly lit.
Several figures gathered here, discussing something.
On the stone table, there was a thick stack of documents.
The photos in the document are all of Yun Chen.
They thoroughly investigated Yun Chen.
"What exactly happened to Yun Chen?"
"Senior Genshoko's words are very important!"
"This person has come to Jiangnan; we absolutely must not provoke him. He is very likely a powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage!"
These people were dressed in ancient style and had a profound aura; they were several powerful cultivators from the ancient cultivation world.
Some carried whisks, while others carried swords.
They were all middle-aged, around forty years old.
His spirit and appearance were clearly extraordinary.
"Could it be related to the fluctuations in the immortal array three years ago?"
"But even if he mistakenly entered the ancient cultivation world because of this, how could he have grown to this level in just three years!"
Several people were discussing it.
"The Gusu family truthfully revealed the information: the six treasures in this auction were also given by this young master."
"He seems to be intentionally gathering experts from all walks of life!"
"Regardless, just be careful!"
"I must always remember what Senior Genshoko said."
"Don't do anything reckless, or you'll lose your life."
These cultivators, who were at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, came from Kunlun. After a brief meeting with Xuan Songzi, who was also from Kunlun, they rushed to Jiangnan.
Before they arrived, Xuan Songzi reminded them of something, which led them to investigate all of Yun Chen's information.
If you meet this person, you absolutely must not provoke them.
At the same time, such conversations were taking place throughout Suzhou, with many cultivators from the ancient cultivation world discussing it.
"These ancient martial arts families are indeed very well-established."
"It's not as simple as we imagine."
"They actually managed to bring out such a treasure."
"However, I still feel something's not right. Why would these six great families put all these treasures up for auction at the same time?"
"Why worry about so much? Do you want the Enlightenment Bodhi Fruit? It's said that when refined into pills, it can help someone break through three minor Qi Refining realms in a row..."
"What a pity, we don't have any Foundation Establishment Pills."
"What are you thinking? Do you really think Foundation Establishment Pills are as common as cabbages? How could a martial arts family like this possibly possess such a pill!"
"However, the Tianshan Snow Lotus can indeed be used as one of the ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill; we should try to obtain it!"
Most of the conversations were about the six treasures.
Whether it's the Tianshan snow lotus or the Bodhi fruit of enlightenment, each one is astonishing and enough to cause bloodshed.
Although this is an auction.
However, many people have already come up with wicked ideas.
Slaughtering the six great families and seizing these treasures, obtaining just one of them would truly defy fate.
In the eyes of people in the ancient cultivation world, the six major martial arts families are nothing more than servants in the eyes of the ancient cultivation world!
In fact, some cultivators have already taken action.
As a result, those people died inexplicably.
This gave many cultivators a huge shock, and some experts were secretly providing protection for the six major martial arts families.
Anyone who dares to come and rob us is courting death.
The six great families were not idle either. Taking advantage of the arrival of powerful figures from all sides, they secretly recorded all the information about the experts.
This was to be accounted for to Yun Chen. They dared not disobey, otherwise their fate would be as tragic as that of the Murong family, the Shangguan family, and the Eastern Royal Family—their entire clan would be wiped out, leaving them with no foundation whatsoever!
Of course, this is somewhat one-sided, because these people were not necessarily all experts who participated in that great battle back then!
However, they can't care about that.
"It's better to die than to die, fellow Daoists. In any case, the people who decide the life and death of these guys aren't from the six great martial arts families."
All they need to do is complete the tasks assigned by Yun Chen.
The auction is scheduled for the first weekend of April.
There are three days left until that day.
Qixia Residential Area is quiet at night.
Qin Xi and Chu Miaomiao slept in the same bed.
The two of them couldn't sleep at all that night, whispering to each other.
"Give me a chance, and I'll have my husband use his magic to help you!"
"Why don't you just say he can fly!"
"You know what, he really can fly! The other day when we went to the Xianyou Mountains, he carried me there!"
"Xixi, what you're saying is getting more and more outrageous. Even people with superpowers can't fly or disappear into the ground. I believe your husband has superpowers, but it's impossible for him to fly, disappear into the ground, summon wind and rain, or move mountains and seas like in ancient myths."
"Miaomiao, do you want to become as beautiful as me?"
"I'm so envious! It's only been half a year, and you've transformed into such a stunningly beautiful fairy!"
"Alright, tomorrow I'll ask my husband for a magic pill. After you swallow it, you'll know for sure!"
"Okay, then I'll have to try it out properly."
You'll find out then.
"Xixi, I'll play with you for two days first."
"After this incident, the government gave me seven days off. I'll spend two days with you first, and then I'll go back to Taoyuan Province to visit my parents!"
The two chatted until late into the night before finally falling into a deep sleep.
The next day, Qin Xi asked Yun Chen for a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
When Chu Miaomiao saw the pill, she looked on with great curiosity.
The pill was enveloped in a misty, nine-colored aura, crystal clear and radiating a fantastical glow. It floated in her palm without making any contact with it.
This scene, which seemed like magic, was truly amazing.
She was shocked, and her resolve began to waver.
Qin Xi explained the precautions to Chu Miaomiao. The impurities expelled during the physical cleansing were extremely foul-smelling!
"Xixi, I'll try again when I get back!"
"I'll tell you if you really become more beautiful!"
Chu Miaomiao did not swallow it immediately. Instead, she put the pill in a box and planned to swallow it after returning home. Otherwise, as Qin Xi said, she was worried that the stench on her body would affect them.
