Chapter 442

His nonsense had actually been exchanged for close to three times the profit. This was simply a huge profit. The monk's heart was filled with joy. He took out some essence stones and was about to exchange them.

However, Zi Chen hesitated and looked at the old man warily.

Zi Chen felt that it was unreal to receive three times the profit from an unfathomable old man for no reason.

"Little guy, you're worried about the auction, aren't you?"

The old man smiled, as if he had seen through Zi Chen's thoughts. He said, "The Primordial Stones used in the auction are all of high quality."

"Then let's exchange. Old man, let's exchange." Monk was pleasantly surprised. "We'll exchange everything for high-grade vitality stones."

Zi Chen was still frowning. He didn't appear as enthusiastic as Monk. After a moment of silence, he finally cupped his fists and said, "Senior, is there something you want me to do?"

"Little guy, you're thinking too much."

The old man looked at Zi Chen and said, "I'm only making things easy for you because of your relationship with Yue Xianzi. As for me, I'm already so old. Why would I need a little guy like you?"

"Alright." Zi Chen nodded in the end as if he had made a decision. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

After that, the two exchanged their vitality stones.

Looking at the pile of vitality stones in front of him, the old man was stunned even though he was prepared.

There were too many vitality stones. There were hundreds of millions of them. In terms of high-grade vitality stones, it was tens of thousands. The old man was slightly stunned.

"Senior, is there a problem with these vitality stones?" Zi Chen asked.

"No problem, no problem." The old man was startled.

All of their vitality stones, including the vitality stone fragments, had been exchanged. Now, they only had tens of thousands of high-grade vitality stones. This was a huge sum of money.

Even Danyuan Old Monster would be tempted.

The monk was very happy and even a little excited. Zi Chen, on the other hand, was surprised that the old man had so many upper-grade primordial stones.

"Hey, you're here too."

After the exchange, Yue Xianzi walked up and was surprised to see the two.

At the same time, Yue Xianzi smiled sweetly at the old man.

"Elder, we will take our leave." The two cupped their fists together and nodded at Yue Xianzi before heading downstairs.

"Second grandpa, are they here to exchange for primeval stones?"

The old man nodded, "That's right, I gave them 65,555 low grade primal stones, the price of one high grade primal stone.

Yue Xianzi opened her mouth slightly and made an exaggerated expression. "Ah!"

Even though Yue Xianzi wasn't well-versed in the ways of the world, she knew that even in Chaos City, no one was willing to pay such a high price. This meant that her second grandpa was going to lose out on this deal, and lose a lot of money at that.

"What do you think of Zi Chen?" The old man suddenly asked.

"Zi Chen."

A smile appeared on Yue Xianzi's face as she thought of Zi Chen. "He's very nice. We're friends, and we've known each other for a long time."

"I keep feeling that this little guy is very mysterious, and I can't see through him. Can you tell me more about him?"

The old man had seen Zi Chen twice. The first time, the little guy wanted to buy a pill weapon, which gave him a fright. The second time was just now. Such a good thing had fallen into his lap, but he actually hesitated over it, and the primal stones he took out shocked him.

He knew that Zi Chen came from a barbarian land that lacked resources. However, he was only in the early stage of the Flight Flight Realm, and he could take out wealth that even a Core Core old monster might not have.

Careful, cautious, and daring. The old man was very curious about Zi Chen.

"That's fine." Yue Xianzi nodded. Then, she began to talk about the legend of Zi Chen.

She talked about such things for several hours. Yue Xianzi spoke with great interest, and a smile appeared on her face the entire time.

The old man nodded continuously, and his eyes flickered with astonishment.

If he had to evaluate Zi Chen's experience, it would be a miracle. The fact that he was still alive was a miracle in itself.

"He has the strength to kill someone in the Flight Flight Realm at the ninth stage of true essence. It seems that I know where his wealth comes from." The old man smiled. "It seems that he has quite a few good things on him."

"Second grandpa, what are you talking about?" Yue Xianzi asked.

"I heard Monk say that you're interested in Zi Chen, and he's interested in you. You two can be considered to be mutually agreeable," the old man said with a smile.

"How could that be?"

Yue Xianzi blushed. She whispered, "I've only met him a few times. How could I possibly like him? Moreover, he's so outstanding, and has several close female friends."

Yue Xianzi and Zi Chen had indeed only met twice.

However, in the Moonlight Pavilion, she heard stories about Zi Chen every day. Moreover, when Zi Chen was being hunted down by various major factions, the Moonlight Pavilion wanted to recruit him.

As a result, many female disciples spread rumors that their master was going to betroth them to Zi Chen, and they often made fun of her. Yue Xianzi had also been paying attention to Zi Chen's affairs. Although she had only met him twice, she couldn't remember how many times she had seen him in her heart.

"He's outstanding, but he's only one person. You're the little fairy of our Shangguan Family. You're peerless, and you're more than enough to be a good match for Zi Chen," the old man said with a smile.

"Really?" Yue Xianzi looked at the old man and asked, "Am I really a fairy?"

"Of course, you're our little fairy."

Suddenly, Yue Xianzi's expression dimmed. "But my true identity is that of an ugly duckling. No one in the family acknowledges me."

"Don't worry, they'll acknowledge you very soon. When the time comes, you'll be the real fairy of the Shangguan Family. We'll have Zi Chen personally go to the Shangguan Family to propose marriage. Moreover, we'll set up layers of obstacles for him so that he'll know how to cherish what he has." The old man patted Yue Xianzi's head and smiled kindly.

"Hehe."

Yue Xianzi smiled happily as if she was imagining that scene. She was very satisfied. However, she quickly sobered up. "He's very smart and very strong. However, he's very slow when it comes to relationships. None of his three close female friends are weak. It'll be too difficult for him to take the initiative to propose marriage."

"It won't be difficult. Second Grandpa promises that it won't be difficult at all. When the time comes, Second Grandpa will personally set a test for him."

Yue Xianzi leaned into the old man's embrace. The old man gently patted her back with a kind smile on his face.

"Let's go, let's go."

Compared to the heartwarming scene upstairs, Tyrant was clearly in a rush. He was still excited about exchanging for ki stones. He pulled Zi Chen away.

"I'm not leaving," said Zi Chen indifferently.

"Are you crazy?! Do you still want to exchange for that lousy Pill Weapon? If you want to exchange for it, you have to be alive to use it. There are so many Core eccentrics here. They'll tear you apart," said Tyrant.

"Even so, I can't leave," said Zi Chen.

"If you're not leaving, then I'm leaving. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."

"Then scram, you ungrateful monk. I really wonder if you're a monk. Has your benevolent heart been eaten by a dog?" sneered Zi Chen.

"Hmph, there's no point in saying more. I'm leaving."

But before Tyrant could leave, a startled cry rang out.

"I've found the Virtuous Wanderer's tracks! He's outside the city!"

"What?! The Virtuous Wanderer has appeared?!"

"Yes, he's outside the city. The Barbarian Bull Village and the Sunset Mountain have already gone after him."

Discussions rang out one after another. Then, more people walked out of the market, wanting to see who the Virtuous Wanderer was.

"Where are you going?" asked Tyrant when he saw Zi Chen turn and leave.

"Back to the inn to sleep."

"Why don't you go see the Virtuous Wanderer? He's appeared."

"Idiot, don't you know if he's appeared or not?"

Looking at Zi Chen's disappearing figure, Tyrant's expression kept changing. In the end, he said, "Damn it! You wanted to die, but you dragged me down with you. Fine, I won't leave either. After you die, I'll return the treasure to its rightful owner, and I'll collect your corpse."

With that, he went straight to the inn.

Zi Chen did not leave the city because his whereabouts had always been under the surveillance of those who wanted to see him.

He went straight to the inn, and Tyrant quickly caught up.

"Being chased all the way, he still has such a temperament. He really is extraordinary." On the top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, the old man's benevolent smile grew even wider.

The cultivators chasing the Virtuous Wanderer quickly returned with nothing to show for it.

Two days later, more cultivators found the Virtuous Wanderer. Many of them chased after him, but after four hours, they returned without any results.

After that, the same thing happened every two or three days. The Virtuous Wanderer appeared again and again, but they couldn't find him.

Over the past few days, more and more cultivators came to the market. It almost felt like it was overcrowded. All the powers in the central region had gathered here, waiting for the auction to begin.

Many of them were mortal enemies, but in the market, they were all restrained. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the deterrence brought by the super powers was.

As the auction approached, the people in the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion were nervously preparing for it.

The tenth day quickly arrived, and the auction began.

On this day, all the Nascent Core old monsters gathered. Their bodies emitted powerful auras as they entered the auction with invitation letters.

It was also at this time that news of the Virtuous Wanderer's appearance came again. This time, it seemed to be very real.

As a result, the leaders of the Barbarian Bull Stronghold and the Setting Sun Mountain all left the auction house, leading people to chase after the Virtuous Wanderer.

At the same time, the people from the Black Dragon Pool and Wu Liufeng also joined in the pursuit of the Virtuous Loose Cultivator. The reason was none other than the fact that the auction this time was a competition between the old monsters of the Core Yuan Realm. They, who were in the air, could not interfere at all.

Zi Chen and Tyrant also came to the auction, ready to give it a try. What was worth mentioning was that during these ten days, Zi Chen had been living with Yue Xianzi. Every day, he would ask for the five thousand origin stones from the previous room, which made Zheng Feng vomit blood in anger.

Zi Chen and Yue Xianzi's relationship seemed to have become even closer because they were living together. Just as Boss Butterball had said, the luxurious room was very large and had many rooms. Apart from the intimate conversation that night, the two didn't talk much afterward.

With Zi Chen and the monk's identities, they could only stay in the hall.

Following the start of the auction, one item after another was displayed. They were all rare goods that the Original Core Eccentrics didn't care about. Some of them were in the air, bidding for them. When all the items were auctioned off, the last Pill Weapon appeared.

"Next, we'll begin the auction for the pill weapons."

However, before the auctioneer could finish his words, a powerful energy burst out from the auction hall. In the next moment, the energy burst out and the auction hall exploded.

PS: On the last day of this month, there's still a gap from the 855,555 word update. I definitely won't be able to make it back. I'll continue next month. As for the number of updates next month, I can only say that I'll try my best. I won't guarantee it anymore. Otherwise, if I can't keep my promise, I'll lose my credibility.
