Chapter 701: Chapter 701 Warning
"Young Master Ling!"
Not long after, Yan Huo entered the ninth private room.
She was followed by a middle-aged man who had quite an authoritative presence.
"Hm."
Ling Chen nodded slightly.
"Young Master Ling, these are the items you won in the auction! Please check them."
Yan Huo said with a slight smile, a storage ring appearing in the palm of her jade hand as she passed it over.
"Alright!"
Ling Chen was about to take it when a figure swooped from behind him and snatched the storage ring away.
It was Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing directly bound the ring to herself with her blood and took out items like the Immortal Grass Spiritual Fruit.
She neatly placed them in front of herself.
"Lady Yan, please check the Spirit Crystals."
Ling Chen smiled slightly and with a flick of his finger, a storage ring flew toward Yan Huo.
"Okay!"
Yan Huo nodded, bound the ring to herself, and began counting.
"Crack!"
With a flutter of Xiao Qing’s green wings, a red fruit flew over, and she bit into it directly.
"Mmm, tasty!"
Xiao Qing’s eyes lit up, and in just a few bites, she finished off the fruit.
Yan Huo and the middle-aged man were left staring agape.
Ling Chen had bid on so many Immortal Grass Spiritual Fruits, and they were just food for this pet!
This was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!
At that moment, Xiao Qing took a liking to a translucent Spirit Fruit.
She bit into it.
Juice splattered everywhere!
"Ptui, ptui, ptui!"
Xiao Qing spat out the fruit flesh: "Yuck, that tastes awful!"
Then, with a surge of Spiritual Power, she blasted the Spirit Fruit into nothingness.
"That was a Xuanyu Fruit!"
Yan Huo’s eyes jumped wildly.
This item was worth over a thousand high-grade Spirit Crystals, and just because it didn’t taste good, it was destroyed?
"Truly a genius from a Hidden Sect!"
Yan Huo and the middle-aged man exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
Yan Huo calmed herself and said with a smile to Ling Chen: "Young Master Ling, there’s no problem with the Spirit Crystals! Is there any issue with the items?"
"There’s no need to check, they should be fine!"
Ling Chen smiled, his gaze drifting over to Xiao Qing.
But he saw Xiao Qing was about to bite into a Harmonization Fruit.
"Stop!"
Ling Chen’s expression changed, and he appeared next to Xiao Qing, lifting her by the neck.
He put away the Harmonization Fruit before tossing Xiao Qing aside.
"Stingy!"
Xiao Qing gave Ling Chen a white look.
Ling Chen simply ignored her.
The Harmonization Fruit was something he had spent 70,000 high-grade Spirit Crystals on.
If Xiao Qing ate it just to satisfy her own cravings, he would be left with nowhere to cry!
"Young Master Ling, this is the Yan Family Patriarch. Since you have won the Harmonization Fruit, please don’t forget our agreement," Yan Huo said.
"Nice to meet you, Young Master Ling!"
The middle-aged man also gave Ling Chen a slight bow.
"Lady Yan, don’t worry. I, Ling Chen, always keep my word, and please rest assured, Yan Family Master!"
Ling Chen said with a laugh.
"Good!"
The Yan Family Patriarch nodded, "Then Yan here wishes Young Master Ling early success in reaching the top of Qing Province’s Tianjiao List!"
"Thank you for your auspicious words, Yan Family Master."
Ling Chen smiled.
After that, the Yan Family Patriarch took his leave.
"Young Master Ling, do you have a place to stay? Would you like to rest at our Yan Family for a few days?"
Yan Huo looked at Ling Chen with a smile brimming with warmth, her eyes filled with charm.
She exuded a unique aura that made people feel drawn to her.
Not many geniuses, even those with exceptional talents, could resist her seductive charm.
"The Thousand Charm Saint Body, huh?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly.
This Thousand Charm Saint Body was a rather special Sacred Body.
Those born with it naturally possess seductive powers.
The deeper their cultivation, the stronger the power of seduction.
"No, thank you, we already have a place to stay!"
Ling Chen declined.
Although he was not afraid of the Yan Family with his current strength.
The Yan Family Patriarch was merely in the early stages of the World Realm quintuple level.
With this level of strength, Ling Chen did not take it seriously.
However, for safety’s sake, it’s still better not to enter someone else’s residence.
First, find a place to consume the Emperor Extreme Pill and the Harmonization Fruit.
"Alright!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Yan Huo’s eyes.
Yet her heart was stirring with shock and amazement.
Ordinary geniuses simply couldn’t withstand the enchanting power emitted when she activated the Thousand Charm Saint Body.
And yet, Ling Chen seemed to be completely unaffected.
He truly is a genius from a Hidden Sect!
"Then this humble one will take her leave first."
Yan Huo gave Ling Chen a slight bow, a deep, bottomless ravine revealed amidst the whiteness.
However, Ling Chen’s expression did not change in the slightest.
As Yan Huo walked to the door, Ling Chen suddenly spoke: "Lady Yan, I hope this is the last time. If it happens again, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
"Yes..."
Yan Huo was startled.
Her own attempt to test Ling Chen hadn’t escaped his perception at all.
After Yan Huo left, Ling Chen turned to Xiao Qing and said, "Take everything out of the storage ring."
"Okay!"
Xiao Qing responded unclearly, and took out the Emperor Extreme Pill and other auction items including a middle-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
"Young Master Liu!"
With a flick of Ling Chen’s right hand, a middle-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon flew towards Liu Yu.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling!"
Liu Yutian first gave his thanks with a bow, then excitedly accepted the middle-grade Emperor Spiritual Weapon.
Ling Chen then handed over the treasures he had bought for Ling Wu and his father to them.
After that, he stored away items like the Emperor Extreme Pill.
"Xiao Qing, pack away your Immortal Grass Spiritual Fruit! We’re leaving!" said Ling Chen.
"Okay."
Xiao Qing stored all the Immortal Grass Spiritual Fruits into his inner world before flying onto Ling Chen’s shoulder.
"Brother, Xiao Qing won’t burst from eating all these things, will it?" Ling Wu leaned in and asked with a worried face.
"No, Xiao Qing is not an ordinary spirit beast."
Ling Chen said with a smile.
Afterward, the group left the auction.
"Young Master Ling!"
Just as they walked out of the auction house, a familiar voice came over.
"Mr. Chen!"
Ling Chen gave a slight fist salute.
The person who came was Chen Gong from the Sky Sun Sect.
The news of the auction had come from Chen Gong.
Chen Gong looked at Ling Chen with a smile and said: "Young Master Ling, you must have had quite the harvest this trip, right?"
"Not bad."
Ling Chen nodded.
"Young Master Ling, I’ve booked a private room at Feixian Tower, I implore you to grace us with your presence tonight!" Chen Gong said with a smile.
Feixian Tower was the tavern where they had met.
But at that time, it was in the hall.
They had not gone to the private rooms upstairs.
"Tonight?"
Ling Chen shook his head, "Mr. Chen, I have some matters tonight. Would it be possible to do it tomorrow night?"
"No problem!"
Chen Gong said with a smile: "As long as Young Master Ling graces us with his presence, I am available at any time!"
After setting the time, Chen Gong took his leave.
And Ling Chen’s group returned to the inn.
"Mr. Shen, be my protector!"
Once back at the inn, Ling Chen chose to go into seclusion, preparing to consume the Emperor Extreme Pill!
"Alright!"
Shen Xing responded.
He had now advanced to the World Realm, and his strength had increased significantly compared to before.
It was no problem for him to act as Ling Chen’s protector.
Even if a sixth-layer World Realm sovereign came, he wouldn’t fear them.
Not to mention, the master of Yan City was only at the early stages of the fifth layer.
In the room.
Ling Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, adjusting his condition.
A quarter of an hour later, Ling Chen’s spirit reached its peak.
Only then did he take out the Emperor Extreme Pill and swallowed it.
"Boom!"
The moment the Emperor Extreme Pill was swallowed, a terrifying energy rapidly erupted.
Ling Chen quickly activated the Night Moon Saint Body to refine this horrific energy.
The Emperor Extreme Pill contained energy to enhance one’s world, as well as a massive amount of Spiritual Energy.
To advance one’s cultivation, Spiritual Energy is indispensable.
