Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Qian immediately retreated. Gu Qing had been paying attention to the movements of the other people, seeing this, he obviously would not let them leave and call for help.

"Bang …" "Bang …" Bam!

Qi Disciple level 7 shot out three fireballs consecutively, which was as powerful as an early stage Yellow Rank spell. The fireballs directly smashed a few large holes in the ground in front of Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian immediately stopped moving and exclaimed: "Don't kill me!"

Huang Yan seized the opportunity and started his counterattack. The ice arrows kept shooting out, forcing Gu Qing to be unable to get closer.

He had temporarily grasped the initiative, but the shock in his heart did not dissipate. His opponent was already at the seventh level of Qi Disciple, and he even possessed a Profound Level technique!

At this moment, he regretted thinking that he was a fool for spending such a high price on Profound Level techniques. In fact, Huang Yan was not wrong, because many people had thought so. If they did not encounter true danger, Meditation Stage would flash by for a few years, and at that time, the Profound Level techniques that they bought with high prices would no longer be used. Therefore, many disciples would only spend a few Contribution Point s to exchange for Yellow Rank techniques, and would not waste time to find techniques of Profound Level and above.

Gu Qing was an exception, because she had always been fighting with her life, and the wager to change her fate was only herself, so she was willing to spend all of her wealth to increase her own strength, so that way, her chances of winning would be even greater.

Fortunately, she did, or the one who would have lost today would have been her!

Gu Qing did not immediately give chase. Instead, she used all of Huang Yan's spirit energy to find an opportunity to attack.

"Gu Qing, if you dare injure even the slightest bit of me today, you definitely won't be able to stay in the Huaqing Palace any longer!" Huang Yan threatened after being forced to consume a large amount of spirit energy.

Gu Qing raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I am a person born with a bone defying ability, what I am least afraid of is threats!" The voice disappeared and with a "pu" sound, everyone only saw blood flying everywhere. Huang Yan's pinky finger fell on the ground with a "pa da" sound.

Ah!" Huang Yan held onto his severed finger that was bleeding and shouted out in grief and indignation.

Instead of retreating, Gu Qing advanced and used the sword tip formed from spirit energy to point at his opponent, "In the end, I already gave it to you. From now on, the outer sect business belongs to me, Gu Qing!"

Since she could not be merciful, she might as well go all the way through!

Huang Yan's face was deathly pale, it was unknown whether it was because he had lost too much blood or because he was unable to suppress his grief and indignation. Let's see if you can swallow it! " Huang Yan suffered greatly, he did not wish to fight Gu Qing head on, so with a wave of his hand, he led his men and quickly retreated.

Only after they had walked far away did Gu Qing's expression darken. If not for her half a year of closed door cultivation, she would not have only lost today, but also in the outer sect business and everything that would happen in the future.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes as he turned around and headed towards his own residence.

After she came back, she indeed heard the news that Taoist Changhua was going to choose a group of people to go out and gain experience. She was determined to participate in this time's experiential learning. Only in the experiential learning would she be able to become stronger.

Originally, she had planned not to leave Huaqing Palace alone for a few years, but she had decided to take the risk and leave once again. Although most of the Spiritual Stone she had consumed in the past half year, Hee Zhixian had also given her the half year worth of Spiritual Stone. A full hundred pieces of middle ranked Spiritual Stone would definitely be a huge sum of money in terms of Meditation Stage. And she was going to use that money to arm herself.

She had once seen one in the Book Collection Vault. Talisman and Magic Treasures were both methods to defeat opponents in battle.

Now that she was at the peak of Qi Disciple level 7, she could rely on low-grade Profound Level techniques to defeat ordinary disciples at level 8 Qi Disciple. If she possessed some treasures and Talisman, she would be at the peak of level 9 Qi Disciple.

With all that had happened, Gu Qing felt that holding the Spiritual Stone in her hands was the most inappropriate thing to do. She could only spend everything she had to improve her own strength, and not only would she be able to protect herself, she would also be able to earn more Spiritual Stone.

First, she asked Hee Zhixian for a few disguise pills. After changing her appearance carefully in the room, she changed into men's attire and came out.

After walking a few steps, he realized that Liu Ying was heading in her direction.

Liu Ying glanced at sher from afar, and seeing that her appearance was normal, he did not pay any more attention to her, and directly walked past her.

Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. If even Liu Ying could not recognize him, then everyone else might not either.

This was the first time she came down from the mountain after nearly two years of trekking up the mountain, and the burden in her heart immediately disappeared. She was actually a person who loved living, but for some reason, she had to seize every moment to become stronger.

But when she left the Huaqing Palace and went to the nearby town, looking at the dazzling array of goods as well as the waves of shouts, she felt extremely close, as if the shackles on her body had been released at this moment.

She wandered around for a few hours before she found the auction house in an inconspicuous corner of the city, following the directions Hee Zhixian indicated with satisfaction.

The shopkeeper of this auction house was very mysterious. He would always be able to get some good stuff. However, if he hated you, you wouldn't be able to buy anything here no matter how much money you spent.

At that time, when she heard Hee Zhixian say this, she felt that he was very eccentric, but she also liked him a lot. Otherwise, where would she have found such a secretive and safe place?

"Young Master, may I ask if you want to buy or shop?" A pretty girl greeted her as soon as she entered the room.

Gu Qing glanced at the things laid out in the hall, which were generally used by the Foundation Period disciples. The things used in Golden Core Stage were too precious and would not be let out easily, while the things used in Meditation Stage were too low leveled and could not be displayed on the stage.

"I want to do something." Gu Qing directly stated her intention of coming here.

Hearing this, the pretty girl immediately revealed a professional smile, "There must be something in our shop that Young Master wants. Young Master, please follow me."

"En!" Gu Qing nodded, parted her robes and followed her inside.

Before long, they entered a spacious hall with a private room on the second floor.

After being introduced, the pretty girl politely left. She glanced around the sparsely populated hall before choosing a corner to sit down.

After waiting for another quarter-hour, there were a few more people than before. There were about twenty people and more than half of the seats were empty.

Gu Qing originally wanted to retract her gaze, but suddenly, a person walked in through the wide open door.

The man wore a hideous mask and a coat of lacquered dark patterns.

When he saw the mask, Gu Qing's body froze. It's him! It was that bastard who peeked at him while he was bathing!

Ever since she had probed Hee Zhixian a few times, she was even more certain that the person who had back mountain was not Hee Zhixian but someone else. It was just that she had not been able to find this person.

She silently withdrew her gaze and sat where she was. She had already started to think about who this person was if there was a chance in the future.

Not long after, an old man with a beard and hair full of white hair led a dozen or so attendants out. Each of them held a tray covered with a cloth in their hands.

This was only a small-scale auction. Although there were many rare treasures at various levels here, there were no high-grade treasures, so there were not many people at the regular auctions.

"Today, the first item that we are going to auction off is a treasure from the Foundation Period, the Sky Miasma Shuttle. This thing is indestructible and its speed is extremely fast. The starting price is five hundred Low Grade Spiritual Stone. "

The magic treasures used by cultivators were separated into normal magic treasures and higher level Spiritual Treasure s. In addition, they were divine artifacts and immortal treasures that required a great opportunity to obtain.

The item auctioned by the Auction House was only an ordinary magical equipment, but it was still a top-notch one among similar grade magical equipment. Thus, someone quickly made a bid.

"Six hundred!"

"Seven hundred!"

The bid continued to rise, but only three cultivators of the Initial Period of Foundation Stage were bidding. In a short period of time, the Primordial Sky Shuttle was accepted by a big bearded man at the price of one thousand and one hundred Low Grade Spiritual Stone.

Gu Qing felt around her pockets. Although they were doing pretty well, compared to the High Ranked Cultivator, they were way too poor. Eleven hundred Low Grade Spiritual Stone were compared to eleven mid-ranked Spiritual Stone.

Fortunately, she was only a Meditation Stage disciple so she did not need to worry about high-grade spells and treasures for the time being. As she slowly grows, the outer sect's business will naturally get better and better, and the number of Spiritual Stone will also increase.

"The next item up for auction is a second tier Talisman. The starting price is fifty Low Grade Spiritual Stone."

Hearing this, Gu Qing's eyes lit up. A second grade Talisman could turn a peak Qi Cultivating Stage disciple into dust, but the price was not cheap. After all, it was a one-time use item, different from treasures that could be used repeatedly.

Many Meditation Stage disciples had the same thoughts as her, and went silent for a moment. After a long while, Gu Qing made the first bid, "Fifty-one Low Grade Spiritual Stone!"

As soon as she made her bid, everyone turned to look at her in disdain.

Low level auctions like this did not require a price increase every time, but those that were a few dozen would usually raise the price by ten pieces. Gu Qing did not care about the looks from the crowd. The Spiritual Stone was hers, if it could be bought at a low price, why not?

"Sixty pieces of Low Grade Spiritual Stone!" Finally, someone offered a price.

Then someone else shouted, "Seventy!"

The person who shouted for $60 fell silent. If he spent $80 on a one-time Talisman, then he might as well spend some more on a treasure that was used for Meditation Stage. Thinking of this, he stopped bidding.

Gu Qing saw that no one was participating, and saw that seventy pieces of the Talisman was about to be taken away, she immediately called out a bid, "Seventy-one Low Grade Spiritual Stone!"

The person who had shouted for seventy pieces of Spiritual Stone immediately glared at when he saw her coming out to join the fun, "Eighty pieces of Low Grade Spiritual Stone!"

Gu Qing clenched her teeth again, "Eighty-one!"

"90 pieces!"

"Ninety-one!"

The man gritted his teeth. If he bought a second grade Talisman with sixty or seventy pieces of Low Grade Spiritual Stone, he would have been able to bear it, but if he spent a hundred or more, it wouldn't be worth it. Thinking about that, he snorted coldly, "I'll give it to you, a second grade Talisman."

Although Gu Qing spent a lot of Spiritual Stone to obtain the second stage Talisman, she was extremely happy in her heart. With this, she would no longer be afraid when facing off against Meditation Stage cultivators!

"Next, we will auction out a third grade Talisman …"

"Hua …"

The power of a third grade Talisman was enough to heavily injure a cultivator of Middle Period of Foundation Stage, and Foundation Period cultivators had relatively more money in their pockets. It wasn't difficult for them to buy a few Talisman, and in a short while, there were no less than ten people bidding.
