"The Ice and Snow Phoenix, I wonder how itâs doing."
Gu Chenfeng muttered to himself, his gaze directed towards the deepest part of the Frozen World.
"Thereâs an auction tomorrow. I have to hurry back, or else Fairy Qiushui will surely kill me." Gu Chenfeng chuckled bitterly to himself.
Who would have thought that the mighty Eternal Celestial Emperor would be afraid of a woman?
Despite having merged all his memories, he remained Gu Chenfeng, just with the memories of the Eternal Celestial Emperor.
Looking at WanâEr, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "Miss WanâEr, the Frozen World is too dangerous. Since weâve found the Phoenix Essence, letâs head back."
"If we donât make it to the auction tomorrow and Fairy Qiushui gets angry, she might kill me."
"Alright." WanâEr nodded with a smile and said, "Weâve been really lucky to have found so many treasures shortly after entering."
With a wave of her jade hand, WanâEr conjured an Ice Attribute Energy vortex out of thin air.
"Ice Attribute Escape Technique, the Yin Yang Race really has some skills," Gu Chenfeng thought to himself. "Who would have thought that the small race from back then has become so powerful now?"
Even before his eighth reincarnation, Gu Chenfeng was aware of the existence of the Yin Yang Race, but at that time, their strength was average.
"Brother Feng, letâs go," WanâEr said sweetly, pulling Gu Chenfeng into the vortex, and the little wolf pup followed quickly.
When they reappeared, they were already at the peak of the previous mountain.
"Brother Feng, the Phoenix Essence can enhance Ice Attribute Power, making your Ice Attribute even stronger. Are you sure you donât want it?" WanâEr asked again.
Gu Chenfeng shook his head slightly, "To be honest, Miss WanâEr, you risked so much to take me into the Frozen World just to help me enhance my Ice Attribute. Iâm very touched and grateful, but you probably need it more than I do."
"Alright then, Iâll accept it. Here, Brother Feng, take this. Itâs the Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid from earlier, you must accept it," WanâEr said with a gentle smile, then took out two jade bottles and handed them to Gu Chenfeng.
"Alright, Iâll accept it." Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and, with a wave of his hand, stored the two jade bottles into the Return to Ruins Ring.
Gu Chenfeng then cupped his hands in thanks, "Miss WanâEr, I need to rush back to the Commerce Association. Thank you so much for your help today. If you need anything in the future, feel free to ask me; Iâll do my utmost."
As he finished speaking, Gu Chenfeng flew with Sword Control towards the Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
However.
As Gu Chenfeng vanished into the horizon, WanâEr suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, her delicate face turning pale, and purple lines appeared.
Soon, WanâErâs vision darkened, and she fell downwards.
"Saintess!" Two Yin Yang Race experts appeared instantly.
Seeing the purple lines on WanâErâs face, one of them exclaimed, "Oh no! The saintessâs Yin Yang Curse Vein is acting up."
The other asked in panic and confusion, "Doesnât the Saintess have the Clan Leaderâs power to suppress the Yin Yang Curse Vein? Why is it acting up?"
"Itâs probably because the Saintess overused the Clan Leaderâs power in the Frozen World. Stop talking and letâs take the Saintess back immediately."
WanâErâs Yin Yang Curse Vein acted up, clearly due to overexerting the Tribulation Stage power on Ice Island, leaving insufficient power to suppress the Yin Yang Curse Vein.
...
Ancient God Mountain Commerce Association.
When Gu Chenfeng returned, it was already the morning of the second day.
And the auction had just ended.
"Truly a miraculous elixir that can heal foundational issues, the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill is indeed priceless."
"Only a Royal Artifact can be exchanged for the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill. Such incredible value is beyond our reach."
"Rarity makes it precious, and only Fairy Qiushui can refine it. We just hope Fairy Qiushui can produce it soon."
Many cultivators leaving the auction hall looked full of disappointment and helplessness.
Soon, another group of cultivators emerged, bringing lively and jubilant voices.
"Fairy Qiushui, when will you make more Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pills?"
"Fairy Qiushui, can we pre-order the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill? Can you lower the price a bit?"
"Fairy Qiushui, I want to reserve one too!"
Numerous cultivators surrounded Fairy Qiushui, asking excitedly as they came out of the auction hall.
Shangguan Yanran was directly left behind.
Seeing Fairy Qiushui walk out, Gu Chenfeng was taken aback and quickly turned away.
But it was too late; Ling Qiushui had already seen him.
"Gu Chenfeng!" Ling Qiushuiâs smiling face instantly turned cold, erupting with a terrifying aura and Ice Attribute Power, charging out like a raging beast.
The cultivators who didnât know what was happening, especially those blocking the way, were directly sent flying by the powerful force.
"Gu Chenfeng?" Shangguan Yanran was slightly stunned and then softly said, "Iâm curious, what kind of genius disciple this Gu Chenfeng is."
Seeing Ling Qiushuiâs more fearsome demeanor than a beast, Gu Chenfeng broke into a cold sweat and quickly fled.
"The mighty Eternal Celestial Emperor, yet there comes a day where he has to cower like this," Gu Chenfeng lamented to himself.
But how can a Fasting Stage outrun a Nascent Soul Stage?
In less than three seconds, Ling Qiushui was already in front of Gu Chenfeng, blocking his path.
With a cold glare fixed on Gu Chenfeng, Ling Qiushui angrily asked, "Why are you running?"
"Fairy Qiushui, youâre chasing me, of course, I have to run," Gu Chenfeng replied with an awkward smile, cold sweat already streaming down his back.
"Where have you been?" Ling Qiushui coldly questioned, walking over with a predatory demeanor, her tone filled with boundless anger.
"Fairy Qiushui, you were gone for so long, I could only stroll down the mountain foot," Gu Chenfeng hastily explained, lying as if it were the truth.
"Is that so? And Su Shisan? Donât tell me heâs already gone," Ling Qiushui narrowed her eyes at Gu Chenfeng, clearly not believing his story.
Gu Chenfeng chuckled dryly, "Fairy Qiushui, youâre right, he indeed left."
"Not confessing, huh? Then Iâll hit you until you confess!" Ling Qiushui yelled angrily, her jade hands gathering terrifying power, and she punched.
"Wait, Fairy Qiushui!" Gu Chenfeng shouted in panic.
At the moment Ling Qiushui was about to punch, Gu Chenfeng hurriedly pulled out a jade bottle to shield himself.
"This is... Ice Attribute!" Ling Qiushui suddenly halted, her beautiful eyes fixed on the jade bottle, sensing a pure and powerful Ice Attribute aura.
"Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid!" Shangguan Yanranâs exclaimed voice came.
"Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid?" Ling Qiushui looked at Shangguan Yanran in shock and asked, "Yanran, do you know what treasure this is?"
"Indeed!" Shangguan Yanran exclaimed with extreme astonishment, "Qiushui, the Earth Core Snow Lotus Liquid is an extremely rare Ice Attribute Spiritual Liquid, containing vast and pure Ice Attribute Power."
"It is a priceless treasure for Nascent Soul, Soul Emergence, and even Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation. Iâve only heard of it before."
