The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Although the meats were already a little cold and didn't taste as good as the ones Mu Qiao had cooked on Fuchong Mountain, Zeng Wenyu, who hadn't eaten meat for many days, still felt that the meats were delicious. Although the meats were just ordinary meats and did not contain any energy that could improve his cultivation, he ordered the meats not for cultivation but just to satisfy his cravings.

After satisfying his appetite, he asked the waiter to take away all the things on the table. Seeing that it was getting late, Zeng Wenyu took out some medicinal herbs from his storage bag and ate them. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

The cultivator's rest is basically spent in cultivation. Although he is a cultivator who practices body cultivation, he will still practice Sui Xin Sect's Qi-refining technique every night. The purpose is not for anything else but to allow the true Qi to flow through his meridians, constantly widening his meridians, and at the same time increasing the toughness of his meridians.

After the medicinal power in his body was digested, he picked up a body-refining herb beside him and ate it. For the next two days, he did not even leave the inn. Except for asking the waiter to bring some food to his room and clean the room every day, he was always practicing.

Since his physical condition has improved greatly compared to before, the high-level body-refining herbs that used to support his practice for many days now only take about ten minutes for each herb to be absorbed by his body. In addition, Xiaoxue is also a big consumer of herbs, so more than half of the herbs in the storage bag have been consumed in just two days.

Opening the storage bag and looking at the medicinal herbs that were more than half gone, Zeng Wenyu shook his head helplessly. The herbs he bought from the Treasure Pavilion were all the herbs that the Treasure Pavilion in Linbian City had collected in the past ten years. He originally thought that these herbs would be enough for him to practice for a long time, but he didn't expect that in just two days, all the herbs had been used up by him and Xiaoxue.

Fortunately, he remembered that today was the day of the Treasure Pavilion auction that Wang Ke had mentioned before. After cleaning up and washing himself, he took Xiaoxue, who was resting on the bed, into his arms, and left the inn towards the Treasure Pavilion.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Treasure Pavilion to hold an auction. Even in this border town, when people knew that the Treasure Pavilion was going to hold an auction, many people came. Judging from the way these people were dressed, they were basically wealthy and powerful people. Of course, it was not just these wealthy and powerful people. He also saw many people wearing similar style clothes. These people should be disciples of nearby sects. Most of them were arrogant, and passers-by walking near them would also keep their distance from them.

He walked all the way to the gate of the Treasure Pavilion and took out the jade token that Wang Ke had given him from his storage bag. The receptionist at the gate of the Treasure Pavilion welcomed him in. Just as Wang Ke said, the Treasure Pavilion had prepared a separate room for him. Although the location was not very high, it was quiet.

"Guest, do you need anything else? If you need anything, just pull the rope next to the chair and we will have someone come to meet your needs. Of course, if you don't need anything, just hang this Do Not Disturb sign outside the door and the staff and other guests of the Treasure Pavilion will not come in to disturb you."

"Okay, I get it. I don't have any other requests. Please leave first. By the way, please help me hang up the Do Not Disturb sign outside."

The receptionist bowed to Zeng Wenyu, picked up the Do Not Disturb sign from the table beside the door and walked out. She closed the door, hung the Do Not Disturb sign on the door handle and left.

Sitting in a small private room, Zeng Wenyu let Xiaoxue out of his arms and looked at the packed seats with people coming to bid. He couldn't help but sigh that there were so many rich people.

He sat back in his chair, turned off the light in the small private room, and looked down from the window. It was almost time and the auction was about to begin. He gently stroked Xiaoxue's body with his hand, waiting to watch the auction held by the Treasure Pavilion.

The lights in the entire hall suddenly dimmed. A beam of light hit the center of the stage, and a gorgeously dressed woman slowly appeared in the light. She was the auctioneer in charge of this auction.

"Welcome to the auction of the Treasure Pavilion. I am Jiang Yue, the auctioneer for this auction," Jiang Yue said with a smile on her face. "This is the third auction held by the Treasure Pavilion in Linbian City. Although Linbian City is just a border town, it guards the border between the Dakang Dynasty and the Monster Grassland. It is rich in the inner elixirs of various monsters. Whether it is the inner elixir of high-level monsters or low-level monsters, whatever you want, you can find it in the Treasure Pavilion of Linbian City!"

"The Treasure Pavilion in Linbian City also sells monsters. As long as they are monsters in the Monster Grassland and you can afford the price, the Treasure Pavilion will find someone to help you catch them!"

"Hahaha, Miss Jiang Yue, you're joking," a young man's voice came from a higher floor. "I have no shortage of demon beast inner elixirs, but I heard that there is a kind of demon beast in the demon beast grassland that has cat ears and a cat tail, but its body is similar to us humans. I haven't seen this kind of demon beast yet. I wonder if Miss Jiang Yue can help me catch one? It'd be best if it's a female!"

"Oh? Are you talking about the catwoman from the Monster Grassland?" Jiang Yue didn't care at all about the obscenity in the voice of the young man upstairs. "The catwoman is either a mutated monster or one that has survived the thunder tribulation. Forgive me for being frank, but with your wealth and status, I'm afraid you can't afford the Treasure Pavilion even if you sell the entire Hehuan Gate."

Hearing Jiang Yue say this, the man upstairs snorted. His voice was full of dissatisfaction, as if he felt that Jiang Yue did not give him face. However, he did not continue to make trouble and just shut his mouth.

Zeng Wenyu looked up at the man who had just spoken upstairs. "Hehuan Sect? I didn't expect to meet someone from Hehuan Sect here. I wonder what his relationship with the previous Yin Ren is like. Is he here to look for Yin Ren?"

Retracting his gaze, Zeng Wenyu gently stroked Xiaoxue, who was quietly curled in his arms. Xiaoxue also sensed the slight uneasiness in his words and took the initiative to rub his hand with her head.

"Forget it. After today's auction, we should leave Linbian City as soon as possible. I hope he is not here to look for Yin Ren."

He no longer paid attention to the person from Hehuan Sect and began to pay attention to the auction on the stage. The auctioneer named Jiang Yue had already brought the first item to the stage.

As we all know, the more valuable the item, the later it will be auctioned, and the more ordinary the item, the earlier it will be auctioned. Therefore, the first item to be brought up will definitely not be a very precious thing. At most, it can only be considered a rare item, just like this first item for auction.

"The thousand-year-old spiritual medicine Elderflower can greatly increase the strength of bones in the body. It is a precious herb. However, as you can tell from the name, this spiritual medicine is a holy medicine for body refining. It is basically useless to cultivators like us who are practicing Qi refining. It is suitable for collection."

"There are five in total, and the starting price is one hundred."
