On the second floor, in the private room of Xue Ying.

Fang Shen looked at this mysterious auction item and raised his eyebrows. He couldn’t help but ask, “Young master, can you tell what this is?”

Xue Ying shook his head indifferently. “I don’t know, but this thing doesn’t give me a good feeling.”

“Then should we take this thing?” Fang Shen asked again.

Xue Ying glared at him coldly. Fang Shen was so scared that he immediately lowered his head.

Xue Ying retracted his gaze and said coldly, “I already said it. It’s something that gives me a bad feeling. Do you still want to take it?”

“Are you trying to make me feel disgusted?”

“Lwouldn’t dare!” Fang Shen quickly bent down and apologized.

Xue Ying snorted. After a while, he said expressionlessly, “The Hundred Treasures House is making such a big fuss this time. There must be some rare good treasure.”

“This thing is just a piece of trash. Fei Cai, this woman, has only spoken briefly, but it has already caused the people below to start fighting crazily for it. Those who don’t know might think it’s some valuable treasure!”

“Ridiculous. I don’t know if I should call them idiots or not!”

Fang Shen was already used to Xue Ying’s way of speech.

However, he also thought that he had been too impulsive just now and wanted to bid for this item.

Therefore, as he listened to him, he felt that Xue Ying’s bluster was directed at him. He could not help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xue Ying ignored his slightly ugly expression and continued, “That’s why I said that we should keep calm. The good show is yet to come!”

“In this auction, 11 of the 12 VIP rooms have been filled. There are quite a number of people here.”

“although other than Golden Door Sect, the other powers aren’t worth mentioning at all, but too many cooks spoil the broth.”

“Looks like the final auction will be very interesting!”

An excited expression flashed across Xue Ying’s eyes.

Meanwhile, in Feng Dan’s private room next door.

Feng Dan had been staring at the strange auction item on the auction stage. It was as if her soul had been hooked, and she was frozen in place.

It was not until Zi Yue shook her arm that she suddenly came back to her senses.

She patted her own chest and said in a frightened manner, “Yue-er, this thing is really too strange. I stared at it for a while just now, and I felt drowsy. It was as if my whole body had entered that stone amber!”

“If you hadn’t woken me up, I might still be trapped in that stone amber right now!”

“So, I’ve already said that you should try not to look at this thing, but you’re not convinced. Not only did you insist on looking at it, but you also refused to move your eyes after looking at it!” Zi Yue said unhappily.

She had also looked at the item just now, and she felt drowsy too, as if she was going to enter it.

However, her self-control was better. When she noticed that something was wrong, she quickly retracted her gaze. That was why nothing happened.

But even so, she could not help but feel a lingering fear.

This thing was really too strange!

Feng Dan knew that Zi Yue was concerned about her. She stuck out her tongue and chuckled, but she did not defend herself.

She smiled and said, “Yue’er, it’s all thanks to you. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to wake up right now.”

“How about I bid for this thing for you and study it properly?”

Zi Yue glanced at her indifferently and immediately shouted with her true energy, “Five low-quality spirit stones!”

Feng Dan was stunned for a while before she reacted. She quickly pulled Zi Yue back and said anxiously, “Yue’er, are you serious? I’m just joking with you!”

“This thing is so strange. What’s the use of bidding for it?”

“Did you really get brainwashed by what that vixen, Fei Cai, said?”

“Do you really think that there’s a possibility of getting rich after bidding for this thing? Don’t think about it, okay? If this is really a great treasure, will the Hundred Treasures House take it out and auction it?”

Feng Dan’s series of words fell like a storm, not giving Zi Yue a chance to answer.

“Mmph!”

Zi Yue had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hand.

She sighed and said helplessly, “Can you stop for a moment?”

Feng Dan immediately stopped. She widened her innocent eyes and nodded.

Zi Yue then released her hand and explained, “I know you’re worried that this thing is some kind of evil thing, but since the Hundred Treasures House dares to claim that it is not, at least we can rule out the possibility that it will harm people.”

“Besides…when I saw this thing, I actually had a baffling feeling.”

“Although this feeling is very strange, it’s like a voice telling me that I must take this thing down!”

“Really?” Feng Dan opened her big suspicious eyes and stared at Zi Yue.

“Would I lie to you?”

Zi Yue rolled her eyes at her, returning her suspicious gaze.

“Sigh, alright!” In the end, it was Feng Dan who was the first to give in. She helplessly agreed, “You’ve always had your own thoughts, so it’s up to you.”

“However, why do I feel that something is wrong?”

Feng Dan couldn’t help but mutter.

She clearly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t say where it was wrong for a moment.

On the other side, in Jiang Ping’s private room.

“Liu’er, what’s wrong?” Jiang Ping suddenly grabbed Liu’er’s small arm and asked nervously.

Just now, he felt that Liu’er’s aura had suddenly become very unstable.

He had a vague feeling that she had broken through!

However, in the past half a month, these three girls hadn’t cultivated much, and Liv’er’s aura had just stabilized at the early stage of the tempering realm. How could there be a sign that she had broken through to the intermediate stage all of a sudden?

Liv’er was confused by Jiang Ping’s sudden action. She widened her unusually bright eyes, shook her head in confusion, and said, “Dad, I am fine. Why do you ask?”

“Liu’er, are you really fine?”

Jiang Ping was sure that his perception was not wrong, and asked repeatedly, “Liu’er, do you feel any sudden discomfort or something wrong with your body?”

“No, I feel very comfortable. I want to sleep!” Liu’er smiled, and she had a simple smile.

“Comfortable?” Jiang Ping’s brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly.

The tempering realm, as the name implied, was a stage of body forging. Every breakthrough in the tempering realm was a remodeling of the body.

He had never heard of anyone who felt comfortable instead of pain during the process of breaking through to the tempering realm.

Back then, even Wan’er couldn’t help but grit her teeth and persevere when she broke through to the intermediate and advanced stages.

However, Liv’er’s faint smile didn’t seem to be faking it.

Then what exactly was going on?
