The middle-aged man named Qian Yuan spoke up and immediately added eight thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, causing a stir among the crowd.
"Since the Northern Cang Palace is also interested in this Purple Sun Token, I will withdraw from the competition," the thin old man said with a smile, shaking his head.
The Northern Cang Palace, another top force within the Great Zhao Kingdom, has powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm within its ranks. The participation of Qian Yuan from the Northern Cang Palace instantly elevated the atmosphere of the auction.
"Twenty-one thousand!"
"Twenty-two thousand!"
...
Some major forces in the pavilion finally began to place their bids one after another. However, there was no repeat of the initial scene where Qian Yuan directly raised the price by eight thousand.
After all, one thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was already a significant amount of wealth, and they could not afford to be careless.
"Thirty-five thousand!" After a period of silence, Qian Yuan spoke again, and without disappointing anyone, he raised the price of the Purple Sun Token by another six thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
After placing his bid, he scanned the surroundings and said with a grin, "Hehe, everyone, this is the highest price offered by my Northern Cang Palace. If any of you can bid higher than this, I will withdraw and consider it a favor to you all."
As soon as these words fell, many people in the pavilions began to curse under their breath.
Qian Yuan's words sounded very pleasant, but having raised the price by eight thousand once and then by six thousand again, his two bids had pushed the original base price of ten thousand for the Purple Sun Token up to thirty-five thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Such a large sum was not easy for even those top sects with Heavenly Realm experts to come up with; forcing it would surely leave them in a low state for a long time afterward.
Whether it was worth it to exchange such an amount for a Purple Sun Token was indeed debatable.
"Thirty-six thousand." At that moment, a clear voice suddenly came from one of the pavilions.
"It's them!" Seeing four enchanting figures in his line of sight, Fang Chen raised an eyebrow in surprise. The speaker was indeed from the Charming Immortal Sect.
Charming Immortal Sect When did they acquire such wealth?
Not only Fang Chen, but many people at the auction were surprised, even Qian Yuan had a look of astonishment on his face. However, he quickly smiled and said, “The four fairies of Charming Immortal Sect are indeed generous.”
“Elder Qian, you flatter us. Charming Immortal Sect cannot be so extravagant; this Purple Sun Token was chosen by Lord Azure Flame,” said the leader of the four women, the Fox-Fur Woman, with a graceful smile.
Upon hearing the name Azure Flame, many people’s faces immediately showed a look of realization. The connection between Charming Immortal Sect and the powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm was not a secret in the Great Zhao Kingdom. And this powerful figure from the Heavenly Realm was none other than the one named Azure Flame.
“Azure Flame.” Fang Chen glanced curiously in the direction of Charming Immortal Sect.
In Fang Chen's previous life, when he was still weak, Azure Flame was already a presence from the Heavenly Realm, renowned for his power and one of the most formidable old-school experts from the Great Zhao Kingdom. However, Azure Flame had a rather notorious reputation for being quite fond of women.
While Fang Chen pondered this, the competition for the Purple Sun Token reached its conclusion, and unsurprisingly, it fell into the hands of Charming Immortal Sect. The staggering price of thirty-six thousand made many people hesitate; furthermore, the name of Azure Flame resonated loudly among various factions.
On the auction stage, Master Mufang waved his sleeve, and with a ringing sound, the Purple Sun Token was officially secured by Charming Immortal Sect.
With the final treasure, the Purple Sun Token, having found its owner, it also signified that this auction had officially concluded.
As the auction ended, it was naturally time to disperse.
Fang Chen pulled Xia Lingyue, squeezing into the crowd as they began to move outward with the flow of people.
On the pavilion above, Bai Dongchi watched Fang Chen's retreating figure, a flash of naked ferocity flickering in his eyes.
“Uncle Mu, we can move now,” said Bai Dongchi, a cruel smile curling at his lips. “We cannot act during the auction, but once we leave this Auction House, heh heh…”
After exiting the Auction House, Fang Chen and Xia Lingyue completed their item exchange and retrieved the previously won item, the Ice Flame Jade.
"Quick, get ready, we need to start running for our lives." Looking at the Ice Flame Jade in Xia Lingyue's hands with fondness, Fang Chen shrugged and said.
"Ah, okay!" Upon hearing this, Xia Lingyue seemed to snap back to reality, putting away the Ice Flame Jade and scanning her surroundings cautiously, as if on guard against the imminent arrival of Bai Dongchi and his group.
Seeing her like this, Fang Chen couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"Ha..."
Fang Chen chuckled softly, but someone else didn't hold back at all and laughed out loud.
"It's you guys." Fang Chen looked at the four Fox-Fur Women in front of him, his gaze sharpening slightly as he became alert.
The Charm Technique of the Charming Immortal Sect could subtly influence others' minds. Although he was confident in his own mental strength, it was better to be cautious. If he accidentally fell victim to their Charm Technique, it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.
Glancing behind the four women, Fang Chen noticed that the powerful Old Woman was not present. She must be guarding outside. He had no dealings with the Charming Immortal Sect, so what did they want? Fang Chen pondered silently.
"Don't be nervous, little brother; we are not bad people." One of the Fox-Fur Women, noticing Fang Chen's vigilance, giggled.
It had to be said that their alluring figures and cool expressions, combined with their sweet voices, could melt anyone's heart. Even without deliberately using the Charm Technique, they still made it hard for people to resist their allure.
Of course, Fang Chen was not one of those easily swayed.
"If you sisters are not bad people, does that mean you are good people?" Fang Chen replied with a grin, completely dropping his previous wariness.
As someone from the Heavenly Realm, he naturally knew how to better resist the effects of the Charm Technique. Under its influence, if a martial artist tried too hard to guard against it, they might inadvertently lose their true self. However, by maintaining a carefree demeanor like Fang Chen did now while still holding onto his true intentions, he could better avoid being affected by the Charm Technique.
Noticing Fang Chen's sudden change in attitude, the leader among the four women with fox fur flashed a glimmer of intrigue in her eyes. Then she straightened her expression and returned to her previous cool demeanor, stating seriously, "To you, we are naturally good people; at least we can guarantee that you won't be killed by the Bai Family."
“Bai Dongchi? That useless person?” Although Fang Chen already knew, hearing it mentioned by Fox-Fur Woman still sparked a cold glint of murderous intent in his eyes.
“Bai Dongchi is indeed useless, but you might not know who is beside him at this moment,” Fox-Fur Woman said calmly. “A warrior at the Late Stage of the Qi-Refining Realm should be enough to kill you, right?”
“Just one guy at the Late Stage of the Qi-Refining Realm?” There was no panic on Fang Chen's face as Fox-Fur Woman had imagined; instead, he remained calm, and to Fox-Fur Woman's astonishment, there seemed to be a flicker of eagerness in the depths of his eyes.
“Is this guy insane?” Fox-Fur Woman thought to herself.
Anyone would react this way upon seeing someone at the Body Refinement Realm showing combat intent against a warrior at the Late Stage of the Qi-Refining Realm. The gap between them was simply too vast, leaving no chance whatsoever.
“Speak up, what are your demands?” With a gentle closing of his eyes, Fang Chen retracted all traces of battle intent and spoke lightly.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The people from the Charming Immortal Sect were helping out because they had their own needs. But what could he possibly have that they would want?
After thinking for a while, Fang Chen still couldn’t come up with anything. Could it be that they were interested in his appearance? His gaze swept over the four Fox-Fur Women's voluptuous figures, and he muttered to himself, “If that's the case, it doesn't seem like a bad deal.”
Though his words were soft, everyone present was far from simple. Immediately, dark lines appeared on the faces of the four Fox-Fur Women. At that moment, they even began to doubt if they had found the wrong person.
“You might not have grasped the situation yet. The Bai Family has not only sent one person at the Qi Boundary, but there’s also an old guy at the Alchemy Realm lurking in the shadows,” Fox-Fur Woman said coldly. She decided to give this ungrateful fellow a shock.
However, she clearly underestimated him; news of an Alchemy Realm expert had no effect on Fang Chen. He still wore that somewhat irritating smile, looking cheerfully at the four Fox-Fur Women.
“And then?” Fang Chen asked. His casual tone was akin to asking about a pig.
Seeing the four Fox-Fur Women on the verge of exploding with anger, Fang Chen found it amusing and continued, “Sisters, you will help me, right? You surely wouldn’t want to see me harmed like this.”
“We’d love for you to die!” The four Fox-Fur Women thought in unison at that moment.
However, this was merely imagination.
Reluctant to face this peculiar individual any longer, the Fox-Fur Woman decided to be straightforward and said, "We need you to participate in the Ziyang Sect's Entry Assessment and help someone pass it to become a disciple of the Ziyang Sect."
"Is that all?" Fang Chen asked, his tone relaxed and carefree.
Glancing at Fang Chen with confusion, the Fox-Fur Woman nodded and replied, "That's all."
"Alright, I agree," Fang Chen said without hesitation.
After speaking, he seemed to notice the confusion in the eyes of the four Fox-Fur Women and added, "I was planning to go to the Ziyang Sect's Entry Assessment anyway, so I might as well help you out."
With that, Fang Chen turned around, facing away from the four Fox-Fur Women, waved his hand, and said, "No need to thank me too much."
With his hands behind his back and his back turned to everyone, his words carried immense confidence and nonchalance, resembling a peerless expert.
"Is this guy... reliable?" The four exchanged glances, a shared thought emerging in their minds.
