After the appearance of the blood moon, Lu Ye also took notice.

Recalling that previously when the blood moon appeared, Jiang Qingge would exhibit some anomalies, after pondering for a moment, Lu Ye took out the Communication Jade Token and sent a message to Jiang Qingge.

Shortly after, he received a reply from Jiang Qingge saying she didn't have any issues.

It's just... she's at the Condensing Origin Sixth Layer now.

If Lu Ye didn't know Jiang Qingge's special identity, he might have found this speed abnormal.

But knowing her identity as the Nine Nether Empress... Lu Ye instead sent another message back, advising her not to overthink, just focus on cultivation.

The blood moon didn't last long, just a few minutes later, the crimson glow emanating from the moon gradually faded.

At this time, the Bai Chuan Auction was already in full swing, and large crowds began to enter.

In a massive room, Ruxue sat in a chair, checking the foot traffic of the auction house through several monitoring arrays.

"I wonder if that person will come?"

Ruxue recalled the Diamond VIP Card she had sent out earlier in Cloud Leaf City, her eyes slightly glimmering.

The change in the East Cang Stele List, as the leading auctioneer of Bai Chuan Commerce Association, Ruxue was aware of it.

Fang Zhiyu was nothing unexpected, he's always been a top figure in the Eastern Territory, a renowned prodigy of the Celestial Profound Sect with excellent talents.

Coupled with the massive resource tilt of the Celestial Profound Sect, reaching the Grandmaster Realm under thirty is considered normal.

Ruxue's attention was on another higher-ranked individual, the one listed as number twenty-two, "Chen Beixuan"!

Previously when she gave out the Diamond VIP Card, she asked the name of that cloaked person, it seemed to be... Chen Nanxuan.

This name is not common in Xuanzhou, at least Ruxue was hearing of it for the first time.

And a Nanxuan and a Beixuan...

Ruxue's eyes flashed with a faint light. She suspected that the two could possibly be the same person!

Chen Nanxuan was his disguise, Chen Beixuan was likely his real name!

He not only arrived at the Northern Territory but also went to the East Cang Stele, ultimately making it onto the list.

"Grandmaster Third Layer, able to reverse-slay a Grandmaster Fifth Layer assailant, indicates that his martial arts are quite frightening..." Ruxue's heart was full of curiosity.

Such a monster who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which master does he follow?

After all, being listed on the East Cang Stele means he's definitely not fifty years old yet.

For martial arts grandmasters whose lifespan often exceeds five hundred years, this is still surely the "young man" period!

Looking again at the screen's monitoring arrays, Ruxue then stood up, the auction during the trade event was to be hosted by her.

...

Outside the auction house.

Lu Ye and Chen Lingxiang had also arrived, looking at the large crowd, Chen Lingxiang took out a silver card from the Storage Ring and smiled, "Young Master Chen, let's go that way."

Unlike the passage ahead with the large crowd, there was a smaller passage next to it with relatively less foot traffic.

Evidently, this was a specially opened VIP passage, Lu Ye quickly noticed that a martial arts grandmaster entered the passage at that moment.

Regardless of the class of VIP cards, they can allow others to enter, since Chen Lingxiang took out a card, Lu Ye did not think of taking out his own card.

Following behind Chen Lingxiang, they entered the auction through the exclusive passage.

At this moment, in the queue of the normal passage, many people watched this scene, all showing a hint of envy.

Privileges such as these, especially in the grand ages of martial arts, are something everyone desires.

As the headquarters of Bai Chuan Commerce Association, East Cang City's auction house is massive, and the boxes are graded, the Silver Card can freely use a Silver Level box.

When Chen Lingxiang and Lu Ye entered the box, Ruxue also arrived in the auction house.

"How is the situation in the Diamond Box, how many guests have come?"

"Miss Ruxue, there are currently five Diamond Boxes in use, including those from the Celestial Profound Sect, City Lord's Mansion, Red Dust Palace..."

Upon hearing the Diamond Box situation reported by the auction staff, Ruxue was surprised; these forces were all well-known, yet she hadn't heard the name of solo cardholder Chen Nanxuan.

"Could it be he's not coming to the auction?" With this guess flashing in her mind, Ruxue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, prepare the auction item sequence, we'll start in half an hour."

Just then, a maid walked in from outside and said to Ruxue, "Miss Ruxue, a guest has arrived, claiming to be Chen Nanxuan, familiar with you..."

Suddenly, Ruxue felt a surge of excitement, saying the name brought the person, just as she thought of Chen Nanxuan... or should say Chen Beixuan, he was already here.

"Let him come in... No, I'll go find him."

Watching Ruxue leave in a hurry, the auction staff inside were a bit surprised.

Ruxue's status in the auction house isn't low, and for someone to have her rush out to welcome them...

Could it be the person is someone with a reputation and background similar to Fang Zhiyu of the Celestial Profound Sect?!

Moments later, in a quiet room.

"Young Master Chen, Ruxue thought you might forget about this event and not come." Ruxue looked at Lu Ye, who was no longer wearing black, a hint of doubt flashed through her heart.

This was an unremarkable middle-aged man's face, but Ruxue had a peculiar feeling in her heart that this person shouldn't look like this.

Lu Ye nodded lightly, taking out an Innate Source-Breaking Pill and handed it to Ruxue, "For the auction item, let's set it with Source Crystals."

This was pre-arranged and suggested by himself, Ruxue, while accepting the elixir, quietly glanced at the hand Lu Ye extended...

It was evident that it was a very young hand!

After pondering, Lu Ye took out a crystal-like item from the Storage Ring.

"I wonder if this thing could be auctioned?"

This was the Evil Energy Core obtained after defeating an Innate Realm evil spirit in the Black Forest Swamp.

Though the energy inside was decent, it carried a sinister aura.

Using it for cultivation could lead one to taint themselves with this aura, and Lu Ye found it unappealing.

If it could be traded away, that would be best.

"This is... an Evil Crystal Core? This energy... from an Innate Realm evil spirit?"

Ruxue nodded and said, "The Evil Crystal Core can also be auctioned, a small number of cultivators who practice obscure techniques might be interested, but the target audience is limited, the price may not be high."

"Alright, auction this piece too. Payment in Source Crystals, silver, or spirit medicines would be fine."

Lu Ye nodded plainly, then presented the Human-faced Evil Crystal Core obtained recently from the Soul Falling Valley.

Feeling the evil aura suddenly pervade the quiet room, Ruxue, who was merely at the Postnatal Realm, was struck with a wave of apprehension.

Staring at the seemingly ink-black crystal core, Ruxue's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "A Grandmaster Late Stage Evil Crystal Core?!"

This single crystal core represented a formidable Grandmaster Late Stage evil spirit!
