In the corner of the hall, a short figure cloaked in a black robe glanced at the room on the second floor where Hei Mo was, and a childish whisper arose.

"Thunder Spirit Pill, I really want to eat it!"

And at this moment, a call rang out again in the auction hall: "Sixth-grade Thunder Fruits, three of them!"

"Thunder Fruits!? That person is actually willing to take out Thunder Fruits?"

"Those are Spiritual Fruits for refining Holy Source Elixirs!"

"Holy Source Elixir? What are you thinking? Even if you gather the Spiritual Herbs and Spiritual Fruits, you still need someone to help refine it!"

"However, if used merely for cultivating in the Thunder Path, three sixth-grade Thunder Fruits are indeed equivalent to one Thunder Spirit Pill!"

The hall again erupted in astonishment.

Today's Rejuvenating Flame auction truly opened everyone's eyes, sixth-grade Spiritual Fruits and Pills, these are rare treasures in the Mingqian Realm, usually held by major powers and often priceless without market availability, yet due to this Rejuvenating Flame, so much has unexpectedly surfaced!

"It's the people on the third floor bidding!"

"The third floor? Isn't that people from top-tier forces?"

"Didn't expect top-tier forces to arrive today!"

"It should be people from Changlin Academy, right? As the nearest top-tier force to Mingyuan City, arriving three days earlier is no surprise; arriving later than other top-tier forces would seem to disrespect the Domain Lord's Mansion!"

Seeing the voice came from a private room on the third floor, everyone began to discuss in low voices.

This auction, Jiang Chen participated in it, his heart filled with excitement as he looked at the green flame in the alchemy cauldron on the high platform.

He wanted this Rejuvenating Flame, not just for refining elixirs or tempering his Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Power, but because when the Rejuvenating Flame appeared, a slight fluctuation was transmitted from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, emanating from the True Dragon Martial Spirit.

The True Dragon Martial Spirit had always been dormant, with only occasional assistance in his cultivation, showing no other signs of activity, but now, this Rejuvenating Flame was stirring its interest, so it was imperative to secure it!

"Changlin Academy!"

In the northeast corner of the hall, Sun Peng looked at the private room on the third floor with complicated eyes, a hint of guilt surfacing in his gaze.

"Grandpa, don't!"

Qiao'er gently tugged at Sun Peng.

Even though she was young, only twelve, she understood the place of Changlin Academy in her grandfather's heart. Recently, news of the attack on Changlin Academy spread, and when her grandfather heard the news, he immediately rushed to Changlin Academy.

However, he did not enter, merely glancing from afar at the bustling academy after the battle, then leaving again.

Just from this, Qiao'er knew that in her grandfather's heart, Changlin Academy held an incomparable place!

Sun Peng hesitated for a moment, speaking softly: "If in the end Changlin Academy bids for that Rejuvenating Flame, then let it be, but if Changlin Academy doesn't make another move, then grandpa will bid for it to give to Qiao'er; Qiao'er, I'm sorry, grandpa's escape back then is something remorseful in my heart, grandpa cannot wrong the Academy again!"

"Grandpa, it's okay!"

Qiao'er jumped lightly, hugging Sun Peng, her small face gently rubbing against Sun Peng's aged cheek as a comfort.

On the auction stage, Pang Guang's eyes showed a hint of surprise, glancing up at the private room of Changlin Academy on the third floor, hearing Jiang Chen's voice in the call.

"Changlin Academy, cannot be offended; however, the auction does not compare the strength of forces."

Hei Mo's voice sounded again in the hall, then rejoined the bidding: "One Thunder Spirit Pill and one sixth-grade Dragon Saliva Grass!"

"Dragon Saliva Grass!?"

"Is it the Dragon Clan's companion Spiritual Grass!?"

"This Hei Mo has good luck! A sixth-grade Dragon Saliva Grass, probably only grows after a Semi-Saint Dragon Clan lays eggs, right?"

"What luck! It's what they acquired through slaughtering many forces by Black Wind Stronghold, isn't it?"

Dragon Saliva Grass, the Dragon Clan's companion Spiritual Grass, normally Dragon Clan only resides on Dragon Island, rarely laying eggs outside, which makes Dragon Saliva Grass extremely precious.

Likewise, Dragon Saliva Grass and Thunder Fruits belong to highly powerful Spiritual Grass, the energy stronger the higher the grade, sixth-grade Dragon Saliva Grass, certainly only growing accompanied by the egg-laying of Semi-Saint Realm Dragon Clan!

"How does Hei Mo have Dragon Saliva Grass? The Mingqian Realm has never heard of Semi-Saint Realm Dragon Clan appearing in this region!"

Hu Yiqiu frowned deeply, a touch of suspicion in his gaze.

"Semi-Saint Dragon Clan... the old dean's old friend was a Semi-Saint Realm Dragon Clan powerhouse!"

Sang Zhenye's gaze flashed with a meaningful look.

"You mean..."

Hu Yiqiu's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then turned to solemnity.

"Black Wind Stronghold, Panlong Sect... Domain Lord's Mansion!"

Jiang Chen's eyes showed a trace of deep thought, whispering softly: "It seems the existence of Black Wind Stronghold in the Mingqian Realm is not just because of the great formation in the stronghold!"

Hu Yiqiu and others felt stirred, a touch of ferocity in their eyes.

"Those powers destroyed by Black Wind Stronghold... seem mostly to be... forces that had some friction with the Domain Lord's Mansion!"

Sang Zhenye knitted his brows tightly, his gaze turning profound.

"What a clever means!"

Jiang Chen's lips curled into a cold smile.

Everyone's faces turned grim, even the usually calm Zhang Daoling frowned.

"It seems Domain Lord Zhang Yubo's character is not as sincere and kind as we see!"

Fire Phoenix solemnly spoke.

"These are just speculations; let's not discuss them further!"

Hu Yiqiu warned in a low voice.

Everyone nodded, aware that discussing the Domain Lord's faults in Mingyuan City would invite trouble.

"Dragon Saliva Grass! How does that person have Dragon Saliva Grass? But... I really want to eat it!"

The childish voice from the southwest corner of the hall rang out again.

"Hei Mo's bid is one Thunder Spirit Pill and one sixth-grade Dragon Saliva Grass, does anyone have a higher offer?"

Pang Guang glanced at everyone, his gaze fixed on the door of Jiang Chen and others' private room on the third floor.

Arguably, if anyone could bid more valuable items than Hei Mo's, it would only be Changlin Academy, the only top-tier force in Mingqian Realm present today!

"One seventh-grade Thunder Fruit plus three sixth-grade Thunder Fruits!"

The call rang out again, Jiang Chen's voice resonating through the entire auction hall.

"Seventh-grade..."

"Seventh-grade Thunder Fruit!? Changlin Academy actually has seventh-grade Spiritual Fruits?!"

"Indeed Changlin Academy! Having undergone two great battles, they still have such reserves!"

"Seventh-grade Spiritual Fruit, this is a treasure many may never see in their lifetime!"

The hall exploded into fervor due to Jiang Chen's call.

Seventh-grade Spiritual Fruit, this could spark a great battle; even Integration Realm Peak powerhouses cannot ignore fruits of this grade.
