Not long after Xiao Lingyu found his seat, the little girl also came over.
The little girl proudly said to Xiao Lingyu, "It's a good thing I saw you. Otherwise, I would've had to spend more time to find a seat."
Xiao Lingyu rolled his eyes and snorted, "It's a public place. Don't make a racket."
The little girl disdainfully said, "Tch, isn't it just an auction? If it were any other time, I wouldn't even bother to come."
Xiao Lingyu glanced at her and asked, "Then why are you here today?"
The little girl seemed to be very serious as she said, "Because you're here."
"Me? What does me being here have to do with you? "Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion.
The little girl mischievously said, "Of course it has something to do with me. As for what it has to do with me, I won't tell you."
Xiao Lingyu rolled his eyes again and ignored the little girl. However, the little girl's seemingly joking words made him feel that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
He was certain that he didn't know this little girl. At most, this little girl looked somewhat similar to Jiang Lanyue.
Just as Xiao Lingyu and the little girl were talking, a person in a box not far away from them frowned.
That person looked a bit fat and had two long beards on his cheeks that were black and white.
Beside the fat cultivator were two other cultivators. One was wearing a cloak and the other was wearing a Daoist robe. These three were the vagrant cultivators that had plotted against Ge Yunfei and Xiao Lingyu in the Desolate Ancient Forest.
"Brother Ba, what's the matter?" The middle-aged cultivator wearing the Daoist robe seemed to have noticed the strange expression on the fat cultivator's face and asked.
"An old friend has also come. He's behind us." The fat cultivator softly reminded them. Although the box was soundproof with formations and restrictions, they had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to speak loudly.
The cloaked cultivator and the fat cultivator both turned their heads to look. It was only a glance before they turned their heads back at the same time.
"Why is that brat here? Could it be that he knows we're here?"
"Ge Yunfei couldn't have also come, right?"
The cultivator in the Daoist robe and the cultivator in the cloak exclaimed in surprise.
The fat cultivator cautiously said, "I don't know what the situation is, but we should be careful."
The cloaked cultivator asked, "Who is that little girl? She seems to be very close to that brat."
The fat cultivator shook his head and said, "Who knows.
"I wonder if that brat still has his treasure..........................................................

Xiao Lingyu didn't know that the three rogue cultivators were also here. He had only booked an ordinary seat at the back, while the three of them were in a soundproof box that could block the vision and spiritual sense of cultivators. He was only talking to the little girl beside him. At the same time, he was looking forward to the auction starting as soon as possible so that he could leave as soon as possible after bidding for the items.
The little girl's words were getting more and more ridiculous, making Xiao Lingyu a little nervous. He naturally didn't believe that the little girl was here specifically for him. However, there were always accidents. Cultivators in the Cultivation World couldn't be looked at with the eyes of the secular world.
10 minutes after Xiao Lingyu entered the hall, the auction officially began. Without any nonsense, a female cultivator with a graceful figure and a beauty that was like a flower arrived at the auction platform at the front and started to auction the items one by one.
It was Xiao Lingyu's first time participating in such an auction, so he was quite interested. Perhaps he didn't want to talk too much with the little girl beside him, so he kept staring at the beautiful hostess on the auction stage, seriously listening to the beautiful hostess introduce the treasures being auctioned.
He was actually learning humbly, but the little girl beside him was a little unhappy. She kept pouting like a little wife who had been bullied.
The materials Xiao Lingyu needed weren't very high-grade, so the price wasn't very high. He bought three items at the price of 20, 35, and 40 high-grade spirit stones respectively. The high-grade spirit stones that Ge Yunfei had given him had been used up. However, there was still a treasure that hadn't appeared yet.
That treasure was one of the necessary materials for him to break through to the second revolution of the Nine Revolution Chaos Formula. Since he saw it today, he had to get it. The first three materials were only suitable for cultivators below the Severed Soul Stage. However, the last material was useful for Body Integration Stage cultivators. Even if ordinary cultivators couldn't use it, the price wouldn't be too low.
When the auction was about to end and the final item was about to be auctioned, the last treasure that Xiao Lingyu had his eyes on finally appeared.
"The next item is a special material that can be used to refine high-grade spirit pills. Cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage can use it directly. It has extraordinary effects. This material is … "
The beautiful hostess paused for a moment before gently waving her sleeves. A jade box appeared in front of her. She opened her mouth slightly and gently blew on it. A spiritual light swept over the jade box.
The jade box slowly opened, and a red and blue light intertwined to form a multicolored light flashed.
Then the beautiful host gently waved her hand and a fruit that looked like a baby appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The fruit was about the size of a child's fist. It looked like a newborn baby with a smile on its face. However, its entire body shined with red and blue light. It was very mysterious.
"Dual Colored Nascent Soul Fruit, good stuff!"
"Unfortunately, it should only be a thousand years old and can't be considered a top-grade material. It can only be considered a high-grade material."
Some cultivators who knew the value of the item couldn't help but discuss it.
"That's right. This is a 1,300-year-old Dual Colored Nascent Soul Fruit. Since everyone knows it, I won't introduce it. The Dual Colored Nascent Soul Fruit starts at 500 high-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 50 high-grade spirit stones. Everyone, start bidding. "The beautiful host said generously.
"Five hundred and fifty!"
"Six hundred!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Eight hundred and fifty!"
…
The Dual Colored Nascent Soul Fruit was very popular and the price soared. In the blink of an eye, it broke through a thousand high-grade spirit stones and was still rising. However, the number of cultivators bidding was also decreasing.
"Two thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
When the price stopped at 1,800 high-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lingyu couldn't help but shout.
After shouting this, he unconsciously glanced at the little girl beside him. He originally thought that the other party would be surprised, but to Xiao Lingyu's disappointment, the other party's expression didn't change at all, and she still had a disinterested look.
"Two thousand two hundred!"
Someone directly increased the price by two hundred. It seemed that he was determined to win.
Xiao Lingyu could tell that the voice came from the box in front. The cultivators who could sit in the box were either rich or had a strong background. This was the usual practice of the auction. However, he also increased the price by two hundred.
In the box, a cultivator in a Daoist robe said to the fat cultivator, "That kid is increasing the price. I think you should …"
"What? Do you think we're afraid of him? You know how important this Dual Colored Nascent Fruit is to me. Even if he finds us here, I'll still bid for it." The fat cultivator puffed out his cheeks as the four strands of black and white beard on his cheeks fluttered in the wind.
"Three thousand high-grade spirit stones!" The fat cultivator seemed to be angry and increased the price by a large margin.
"Brother Ba, you misunderstood. What I mean is that we still have to deal with that kid. Why don't we just let him bid for it and then we can snatch it later?" The cultivator in the cloak explained.
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that? This is bad! That kid isn't going to increase the price. I'm going to lose 3,000 Upper Grade Spirit Stones for nothing!" The fat cultivator patted his head and said with a pained expression.
"Three thousand two hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
Just as the fat cultivator was feeling vexed, Xiao Lingyu's voice rang out again.
"Haha, this kid is too understanding. He saved me three thousand high-grade spirit stones!" The fat cultivator laughed.
"I'll bid five thousand!"
The fat cultivator decisively decided not to increase the price, but someone else did. Moreover, the increase in price was even greater.
The three rogue cultivators and Xiao Lingyu frowned at the same time. Even the little girl beside Xiao Lingyu seemed to be interested and looked over curiously.
The person who increased the price was a young cultivator, but he was calmly waving his fan. He had delicate features, and no matter how one looked at him, he had the same air of a noble young master as Ge Yunfei.
"Who is this kid? Why does he look so unfamiliar?" The fat cultivator asked in astonishment.
"What's so strange about that? The Feiyu Continent is so big. How can we recognize all the elites? Don't be fooled by his handsome appearance. Maybe he's an old monster that has been in seclusion for many years." The cultivator in the Daoist robe said.
"I'm sure that this person isn't an elite from the Feiyu Continent." The cultivator in the cloak said.
"Why?" The fat cultivator and the cultivator in the Daoist robe asked in unison.
"Because he doesn't have any companions. Moreover, he's still so calm in this situation. He has a calm smile on his face. It's clear that he's experienced and has seen the world. However, it's also because of his expression that I'm sure he's not old, at least not as old as us." The cultivator in the cloak confidently analyzed, even though his analysis wasn't very reliable.
After Xiao Lingyu glanced over, he only hesitated for a moment. In order to not have to worry about the Dual Colored Nascent Fruit in the future, he could only bite the bullet and increase the price by two hundred high-grade spirit stones.
The other party smiled at Xiao Lingyu and increased the price by a large margin. The price tag was raised to 8,000 Upper Level Spirit Stones.
Xiao Lingyu bitterly smiled and increased the price by two hundred high-grade spirit stones. The other party directly increased the price to ten thousand high-grade spirit stones.
Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones was equal to one hundred top-grade spirit stones. This price was already a price that many Severed Soul experts would back off from.
"Twelve thousand!" Xiao Lingyu increased the price again.
