Flaming Bug

"A flaming bug?"

Zhuowen frowned slightly. Wasn't the Mountain River Patriarch talking about the Zhurong Gu?

Moreover, it was the main body of the Zhurong Gu.

In Miao Bang's memory, the main body of the Zhurong Gu was a flaming bug.

Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. He didn't tell Crape Star Sovereign about the origin of the Zhurong Gu. Instead, he wondered why the Mountain River Patriarch wanted the Zhurong Gu.

Although he knew that the abnormality in the Boundless Taixu might be related to the Zhurong Gu, there should be almost no one in the eight heavens who knew the value of the Zhurong Gu. Even if someone else caught the Zhurong Gu, it would be useless. They would not know how to deal with it.

Of course, the main body of the Zhurong Gu was not to be trifled with. Even Zhuowen wasn't confident that he could get his hands on the main body of the Zhurong Gu.

"Brother Long, the slot auction is about to begin!"

Crape Myrtle Star's words immediately interrupted Zhuo Wen's thoughts. Then, he saw a man wearing a mask appear on the central platform.

Although the man was wearing a mask, it wasn't difficult to guess that he was an old man based on his silver hair.

The old man's voice sounded rather old.

"This old man already knows the purpose of everyone's visit. This old man will not beat around the bush. This old man only has five quotas, but there are more than fifty people here. The bidding for the quotas is based on the highest bid. The top five with the highest bid are qualified to obtain the quotas in this old man's hands. Let's begin."

"The starting price is 055,555 high-grade divine stones. Each bid must be at least 65,555 higher."

After saying that, the old man stood silently on the high platform and looked down at the surrounding cultivators.

"065,555!"

"155,555!"

…

"8,555,555!"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, the surrounding people began to bid one after another. The price also rose, quickly rising to 0,555,555, which was ten times higher than the starting price.

When the price was raised to seven million, the voices of bidding gradually died down.

2,555,555 high-grade divine stones was already a huge sum of money. Ordinary Void Sky Seven Steps cultivators might not be able to take it out in one go, so many cultivators gave up bidding.

"Ten million high-grade divine stones!"

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded out, attracting everyone's attention.

In the front seat, a petite woman wearing a mask raised the price by three million in one breath, which shocked everyone present.

Zhuowen looked at the petite girl's back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Eleven million high grade divine stones!"

Just as Zhuowen finished shouting, the petite woman turned around and glared fiercely at Zhuowen. Then, she angrily added another million High Grade Divine Stone, and looked at Zhuowen with the gaze of a victor.

After the price reached 65 million, there was basically no other voice. The only bidders were Zhuowen and the petite masked woman in front of him.

Zhuowen did not care about the gaze that the lady shot over. He shook his head and no longer spoke. He had only come here for the quota.

With his current price, he was already ranked second. Naturally, he would not bid against this woman in a fit of pique.

As for the Purple Star Monarch, he had already shouted once before. His bid was ranked fourth, so he could also get a spot.

When the petite woman saw that Zhuowen did not say anything, the smile in her eyes became even wider. Then, she turned her head and simply ignored Zhuowen.

After the old man called out three times, the five spots were all finalized. The old man also sent someone to give a black jade token to Zhuowen and the other four. This jade token was clearly the symbol of a spot.

Zhuo Wen and the Crape Myrtle Star Monarch each received a spot.

As for the other three spots, besides the petite masked woman, the other spot was a woman with a tranquil temperament who sat beside the petite woman.

The last spot fell into the hands of a black-clothed man.

After the black-clothed man obtained the spot, he hurriedly left the black market.

Moreover, Zhuowen found with his Divine Sense that after the black-clothed man left, several people in the black market followed him. Obviously, they were up to no good.

"It's common for people to eat each other in the black market. Brother Long, let's go!" The Purple Star Monarch also noticed the situation after the black-clothed man left and said indifferently.

Zhuowen did not move. His gaze fell on the petite woman and the other two women who were about to get up and leave. He revealed a thoughtful look.

The Purple Star Monarch noticed Zhuowen's gaze and said with a smile, "Brother Long, could it be that you have your eyes on those two women?"

Zhuowen shook his head and said indifferently, "No, these two women give me a very familiar feeling. They are a bit like my acquaintances. Let's go and take a look!"

The Purple Star Monarch shrugged and did not say anything. He slowly followed Zhuowen and left the black market.

However, the moment Zhuowen and the Purple Star Monarch left the black market, they also noticed that several people were quietly following behind them.

When Zhuowen and the Purple Star Monarch completely left the black market and entered an extremely remote alley in the outside world, several people behind them immediately rushed out and blocked their way.

There were a total of four people in front of them. The leader was a bearded man with a vast aura. He was actually an expert of the Void Sky Eight Steps. The other three were all at the Void Sky Seven Steps.

After the four people left the black market, they took off the masks on their faces and looked at Zhuowen and the Purple Star Monarch mockingly.

"Leave the jade tokens you obtained and get out of here!" The bearded man said with extreme disdain.

Zhuo Wen had concealed most of his aura. Thus, he did not appear like an expert. As for Star Monarch Crape Myrtle, he cultivated an extreme power. If he were not fighting, he would appear no different from an ordinary cultivator.

"Get out!

If you dare to say another word, even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, you will still die! "

Zhuowen's eyes were cold. A mere cultivator of the Void Sky Eight Steps actually dared to rob him. He was really tired of living.

The bearded man and the other three had gloomy looks in their eyes. The bearded man sneered and said, "Arrogant guy, I only planned to cripple you and not kill you. Now, I think you should pay the price for your arrogance!"

With that, the bearded man suddenly stepped out and threw a punch. The fist energy was condensed to the extreme and set off gusts of wind. It was like an angry dragon coming out of the sea and blasted towards Zhuowen.

The other three did not make a move. Instead, they watched the show with mocking eyes.

The bearded man was very powerful. The three of them had seen it with their own eyes. In their opinion, the white-clothed young man in front of them was undoubtedly going to die.

Unfortunately, the moment the bearded man's fist landed on Zhuowen's left cheek, he immediately felt an unprecedented sense of danger. Then, his right hand suddenly lost all feeling and pain filled his entire body.
