How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Elder Mao's heart was filled with gratification, and without any pretense, he accepted the Origin Transformation Pill.

However, he had been stuck at the Innate Peak for too long, and his remaining lifespan was not much. Even with the Origin Transformation Pill, the hope of breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm was extremely slim.

Members of higher echelons within the sect, such as Fairy Xia Yu and the Yunyue Sect Master, including those from Gongyang Mountain, gazed at Elder Mao with eyes filled with envy.

They all had disciples, but so far, none of their disciples had given them such a generous gift.

Moreover, Chen Yu was also at the Peak of Qi Transformation but chose to gift the Origin Transformation Pill to his master, a spirit that deeply moved others with gratitude for their teacher's kindness.

"Chen Yu is probably aiming to secure the third Origin Transformation Pill," Fairy Xia Yu surmised in her heart.

Many others thought the same, as Chen Yu, who had reached the Innate Peak, definitely needed an Origin Transformation Pill.

Witnessing Chen Yu's generosity and lavishness, many shook their heads slightly, inwardly sighing and losing hope for the third Origin Transformation Pill.

Watching Chen Yu spend twenty-five thousand Primordial Stones, only to gift the Origin Transformation Pill to someone else, the Prince of Yan felt his knowledge was being expanded once again.

The number of Primordial Stones in Chen Yu's possession exceeded his imagination.

Initially, he offered one hundred fifty thousand for the Fire Scale Beast, thinking that Chen Yu would be eager to trade with him, given the substantial amount of Primordial Stones and his future status.

But so far, the amount of Primordial Stones that Chen Yu had spent might just be one hundred fifty thousand.

And most of those Primordial Stones were used to purchase items that were then given away as gifts.

It seemed as if those tens of thousands of Primordial Stones were nothing at all.

"The auction for the third Origin Transformation Pill begins!"

"Six thousand three hundred!"

"Six thousand five."

A few people called out their bids.

However, time passed, and there was still no sign from Chen Yu.

"That kid doesn't want the Origin Transformation Pill?" someone wondered.

"Ten thousand!"

The price for the Origin Transformation Pill started to rise rapidly, yet there was still no move from Chen Yu.

"It seems this young man's Primordial Stones have finally run out," thought the Water Moon Sect Master and other high-level Qi cultivators.

The third Origin Transformation Pill was being contested for by all powers from the Three Kingdoms.

It was the last one and had the potential to create a Guiyuan Realm expert, altering the power dynamic and affecting the outcome of wars.

"Twenty-nine thousand," a cold voice from Purple Cloud Palace echoed. With Ye Luofeng breaking through to the Guiyuan Realm, allowing the Lingjian Sect to further expand its power, Purple Cloud Palace felt threatened and was determined to get this Origin Transformation Pill at all costs.

In the end, the third Origin Transformation Pill was obtained by Purple Cloud Palace for a high price of twenty-nine thousand, which was a thousand more than the first pill.

"The next item up for auction is an Ancient Beast 'Three-eyed Poison Toad.'"

"An Ancient Beast Spirit Pet?"

Chen Yu's eyes showed a hint of surprise; he had not received any intelligence about this auction item, which might have been consigned right before the auction.

The Three-eyed Poison Toad was considered a mediocre Ancient Beast, skilled in poison attacks but not outstanding in defense or speed. It was more than just a notch below the Fire Scale Beast and the Sky Purple Fox.

"This 'Three-eyed Poison Toad' is currently at the Mid-stage Hua Qi Realm, easy to tame, and the cost of raising it is not great. The starting bid is fifteen thousand, with each increment no less than five hundred!"

The higher the level of an Ancient Beast, the harder it is to tame, and their growth is already fixed.

But lower-level beasts or newly hatched ones can be easily tamed, offering great potential and directions for development, though they require a lot of time and resources to cultivate.

This Three-eyed Poison Toad sat right between the two, still possessing decent potential.

"Sixteen thousand!"

"Seventeen thousand!"

In no time, the price for the Ancient Beast broke through to twenty thousand.

"What a pity. Now, with the great war raging in the north, there isn't much time or resources to cultivate this Ancient Beast; otherwise, it could have been trained to be a Sect-defining beast!" Gongyang Mountain stroked his beard, before raising the bid, "Twenty-one thousand!"

"Twenty-two thousand."

"Twenty-three thousand."

The Prince of Yan placed a bid as well.

When the price of the Ancient Beast grew to thirty thousand, the pace of bidding slowed down.

Originally, the value of an Ancient Beast was extremely high, far more precious than the resources previously auctioned.

But with the current war in the north, everyone urgently needed to improve their cultivation instead of having the time or resources to raise an Ancient Beast.

Besides, ordinary people couldn't afford to keep an Ancient Beast at all.

With so many Primordial Stones and resources, it was better to buy cultivation resources to build one's strength, cultivating powerful individuals instead, with shorter time and higher efficiency.

This is why the popularity of this Ancient Beast couldn't match the previous items.

Eventually, the Ancient Beast was sold for thirty-six thousand to a Yan Country Guiyuan Realm expert.

"Compared to the Fire Scale Beast, this Three-eyed Poison Toad is far from just half a star inferior," the Prince of Yan shook his head slightly, his eyes turning towards the Fire Scale Beast.

"The last item of this auction is a Half Spirit Artifact, the 'Wind Cloud Blade.'"

A Half Spirit Artifact—nearly everyone's expression shook, their eyes all converged on the stage.

A maid carried a box onto the stage. Inside the box lay a white broadsword with the edges as if surrounded by whirling winds and clouds, emitting a white radiance.

Chen Yu also found the sword to be quite exceptional, likely close to being a Spiritual Artifact.

"Is that a Half Spirit Artifact?"

Many Qi cultivators widened their eyes, the vast majority of them would never have the chance to witness the majesty of a Half Spirit Artifact in their lifetime.

"What a fine blade!" Gongyang Mountain, unable to restrain his excitement, looked towards the sword.

The Yunyue Sect Master and Elder Mao stared at the blade as well, seemingly unable to look away.

Being cultivators of the wind path, they were even more eager for the blade.

"Half Spirit Artifact, starts at a bid of fifteen thousand, with each increment no less than five hundred!"

"Twenty thousand!"

A mysterious person made a bid.

The next moment, the high bid of twenty thousand was drowned out.

"Twenty-two thousand!"

"Twenty-three thousand!"

A half-spirit artifact could greatly enhance the strength of a cultivator in the Guiyuan Realm and the deterrence of their sect.

And for ordinary cultivators in the Guiyuan Realm, their desire for a half-spirit artifact was extremely high.

"Thirty thousand!"

The half-spirit artifact broke through the thirty thousand mark.

Yet, the price continued to climb.

"Thirty-three thousand!"

Elder Mao from Gongyang Mountain, somewhat excited, called out the bid.

"Thirty-four thousand!"

The Prince of Yan also joined the bidding competition.

Before long, the price of the half-spirit artifact reached forty thousand.

The Prince of Yan let out a sigh of lament and had to give up; he no longer had enough Primordial Stones.

The other major powers also reduced their increments by a lot.

After all, they had already spent a considerable amount of Primordial Stones in the previous auction, and they did not have many left now.

Chen Yu was just watching the fun; he had ancient beasts, Origin Transformation Pills, and half-spirit artifacts, and even his black bone sword was many times more powerful than a half-spirit artifact.

"Chen Yu, how many Primordial Stones do you still have?"

At that moment, Elder Mao from Yunyue Sect's Supreme Elders transmitted a message to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu knew that Elder Mao wanted this half-spirit artifact.

He did not have much affection for this Supreme Elder.

Once, faced with Lv Tiezu's threats, the latter was timid, but when it came time to take the spoils from the Blood Burial Garden, he did not hesitate to take half.

"Not many."

Chen Yu neither refused nor agreed.

At least, he was not going to help Elder Mao for no reason.

"Yu'er, the Supreme Elder said that if you could lend him some Primordial Stones this time, he will surely return them in the future and the sect will immediately grant you the position of a Supreme Elder."

Suddenly, Elder Mao transmitted a message to Chen Yu.

Knowing he couldn't persuade Chen Yu, Elder Mao had Mao Qiuyu try.

"A Supreme Elder, huh?"

Chen Yu wasn't overly surprised, but he thought it was acceptable since if he broke through to the Guiyuan Realm he would naturally become a Supreme Elder of Yunyue Sect.

"Alright!"

In the end, Chen Yu decided to secure this half-spirit artifact for the Yunyue Sect.

After all, the memories of his youth were related to this sect, and there were many people and events connected to him within it.

"Ying'er, send these twenty thousand low-grade Primordial Stones over."

Chen Yu spoke to Chen Ying'er.

Having gained quite a few benefits at the auction, Chen Ying'er was of course willing to run the errand.

"Another twenty thousand."

The Prince of Yan was shocked; the total amount of Primordial Stones displayed by Chen Yu had far exceeded his own.

No wonder the one hundred and sixty thousand Primordial Stones could not sway Chen Yu—he estimated that even if he offered two hundred thousand, it wouldn't shake Chen Yu.

He had to admit he had underestimated Chen Yu. Such a young person possessing astonishing quantities of Primordial Stones was definitely not simple.

He even considered that if Chen Yu had been a bit more frugal earlier, he could have swept up several top items later on.

"Forty thousand!"

Elder Mao immediately made a bid.

After a round of competition, Elder Mao secured the half-spirit artifact, the Wind Cloud Blade, for an astonishing price of forty-eight thousand five hundred.

Under normal circumstances, the blade certainly wouldn't be worth so much, but these were special times.

"Hahaha!"

Elder Mao, holding the Wind Cloud Blade, was in high spirits, laughing heartily.

The final auction item went to Yunyue Sect, and this half-spirit artifact further enriched the sect's strength and foundation.

Lv Tiezu's expression was dark and grim; not only did he lose face at this auction, but he also deeply realized Chen Yu's wealth in Primordial Stones.

In Chu Country, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was scarce, so they could only build up cultivation through resources and Primordial Stones. With Chen Yu's massive amount of Primordial Stones, his cultivation would not stagnate, and this made Lv Tiezu feel a sense of danger.

The auction ended and everyone left through the various passages.

Chen Yu had just come out and hadn't walked far when he encountered a veiled woman in blue.

Although her face was unclear, her figure and temperament alone were mesmerizing.

Moreover, Chen Yu noticed that upon seeing him, her eyebrows knit slightly, and her body seemed somewhat uneasy.

Such a beauty seemed to know him, inducing curiosity in Chen Yu, who approached.

As they drew closer, Chen Yu could smell her faint fragrance and a sense of familiarity emerged.

Seeing no way to dodge, the veiled woman no longer evaded and, from behind the veil, came a sweet, gentle voice, "Junior Brother Chen, you were giving out gifts left and right at the auction, how could you forget your senior sister?"

"Qiu Xinxin?"

This voice instantly reminded Chen Yu of a person and a memory that he found endlessly fascinating.

However, Chen Yu recalled that the woman's real name seemed to be Liu Xin'er.

"If only senior sister had recognized me earlier; otherwise, given our close relationship, I would have definitely presented you with a great gift."

Chen Yu examined Liu Xin'er's charming and attractive appearance, as the vivid images from the past involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

It's just that it had been too long, and his memory was a bit blurry.

Hearing the words "close relationship" in Chen Yu's speech, Liu Xin'er suddenly felt somewhat unusual, yet with the veil on, Chen Yu could not see her expression.

Suddenly, a figure in white appeared behind Chen Yu—it was Ye Luofeng.

Ye Luofeng also happened to hear Chen Yu's recent words and was particularly concerned about the "close relationship" he mentioned.

Liu Xin'er glanced at Ye Luofeng, feeling for the first time that there was another woman who could compete with her charm.

At the same time, thinking of what Chen Yu did for Ye Luofeng in the auction, a strange, indescribable feeling stirred in her heart.

Chen Yu suddenly sensed that the atmosphere was off; the two women were supposed to be meeting for the first time yet were eyeing each other strangely. Why did Chen Yu feel like he had become an outsider?
