Soon after Qu Mingyuan returned to his family from the mining area, Qu Yuan came to visit Qu Mingyuan's residence, and also asked about some things that happened in the mining area. However, the time is not yet ripe, Qu Yuan can't collide with Qu Zhiqi head-on, so he has to endure it, and swear in his heart that sooner or later, Qu Zhiqi and his father and son will be trampled under their feet.

As for the Qu family's seizure of Gastrodia Stone, because Qu Mingyuan's right arm was completely broken, it would take at least two or three months to recover even if he relied on the medicine prepared by the family's chief pharmacist, so the patriarch Qu Qingyun decided to put the matter aside for the time being, and wait for Qu Mingyuan's injuries to heal before dealing with it.

Qu Mingyuan also asked Qu Yuan about his recent cultivation and strength, of course Qu Yuan couldn't tell him, he just talked about the cultivation situation and his own strength that everyone could see and understand on the surface.

In the qualifying competition of the inner courtyard of the Qu family in October, Qu Yuan only lasted for an hour in the fifth-level ironman formation of the inner courtyard martial arts arena, and did not enter the sixth-level ironman formation.

It's not that Qu Yuan doesn't want to try to enter the sixth-level Iron Man Formation, but he can't. If he shows too much strength, he may be reminiscent of Wei Xiang, the son of the Wei family patriarch, who was killed outside Yuyang City. With Qu Yuan's current strength and ability, he must definitely do everything possible to avoid being discovered, and he must not let people doubt himself.

Even if you get some less family inner court points, you must keep a low profile to hide your true strength.

Time passed in a hurry, and more than a month passed in a blink of an eye. As the temperature gradually dropped, it was already late November, and it was less than a week before the next auction held at the Yuyang City auction house.

And in the entire Yuyang City, it has also become extremely lively in recent times, and many cultivators from other places have gathered here. Walking on the streets, you can see some powerful cultivators wandering around.

The purpose of their coming to Yuyang City this time is obvious, which is to participate in this auction in Yuyang City. Some of these cultivators came from dozens of small cities like Yuyang City around Qiye City, and some even came from some family forces that belonged to Qiye City.

The number of cultivators in the city is increasing, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn, and many ordinary residents do not even dare to go out casually, hiding in their homes, watching through the cracks in the doors of the terrifying cultivators who occasionally pass by the door.

The more cultivators gathered in Yuyang City, the happier the Yuyang City Auction House was, and during this period, President Zhao Qing had a faint smile on his face every day.

Just because the number of cultivators who come to bid will be very large, and the list of temporarily entrusted Yuyang City Auction House for auction is also several times more than the previous auction, some of the commissions are even from some chambers of commerce, the items are rare treasures, martial arts, weapons, rare medicinal materials and ores, etc., are constantly being transported to the Yuyang City Auction House from all over the world.

If there are a few more auctions of this scale, I am afraid that the reputation of the Yuyang City Auction House can surpass that of the Seven Leaves City Auction House. Thinking of this, Zhao Qing was even more happy in his heart, and he also thanked Qu Yuan for the Shenglong Elixir.

As for the Wei family, although the Wei family sent a lot of manpower and material resources to search for the murderer who killed Wei Xiang, because this person seemed to have evaporated from the world, it would be impossible to find out in a short period of time without new clues.

The disappeared gastrodia stone is also like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news at all.

Because the auction house auction is about to start, Wei Yunxing has to temporarily put aside the matter of searching for his son's murderer, and focus most of his attention on this auction, he has made up his mind to do his best to bid for a Shenglong Elixir, deep in his heart, it is too much like a breakthrough, from the Nine Environment Realm to the Gathering Spirit Realm, it is like an insurmountable chasm, and now, the Shenglong Elixir is hope.

Once the breakthrough can be successful, then not only will the strength be greatly increased, but even the lifespan can be doubled, which is conceivably attractive for an elderly cultivator in the twilight of his life.

Qu Qingyun, the patriarch of the Qu family, submitted the matter of Wei Haiyan, the elder of the Wei family, taking away the gastrodia stone, to the city lord's mansion to ask the city lord to adjudicate, this matter is even more unlikely to get a result in a short period of time, Wei Yunxing, the head of the Wei family, is just talking to Qu Qingyun, what he doesn't know what the situation was at the time, what was the gastrodia stone was also found in the Wei family's veins, etc., plus the gastrodia stone has indeed disappeared, Wei Xiang died tragically in the wilderness, the Qu family wants to get a certain amount of compensation from the Wei family, and it seems that the surname may not be big.

In the past month, Qu Yuan's strength has progressed much slower than before, because he has not been able to break through to the Seven Environmental Realms for a long time. And martial arts have also reached a bottleneck, and Qu Yuan has already decided, at the auction, he will bid for some of the martial arts he wants to practice again, and of course, he must wear a hat on his head that cannot be easily recognized.

However, although Qu Yuan's own ring force has not yet exceeded 10,000 strength, his control over the ring force has become more and more perfect, and the more exquisite the control of the ring force, the stronger the combat effectiveness will naturally be. Like those powerhouses in the Nine Realms realm, they used the same strength of ring force to fight against the cultivators with lower strength, and the one who won in the end was definitely the strong one of the nine rings, this was because their control of the ring force was more mature and free.

Because his cultivation reached a bottleneck, Qu Yuan shortened the time he spent on cultivation, and he also understood that blind cultivation was not the key to breaking through the bottleneck, and sometimes he also needed to relax himself.

During this time, Qu Yuan refined two more parts of the Ascending Dragon Elixir, and as he did last time, each Ascending Dragon Elixir was divided into five small portions. The reason why there is no large-scale refining is that if there is too much refining, it may not be able to sell at the auction, and secondly, Qu Yuan doesn't want Yuyang City or other cities to really have a few more super cultivators of the Gathering Spirit Realm.

Therefore, even if it was the two copies of the Shenglong Elixir that had been refined, Qu Yuan would have to decide how many copies to give to the auction house after seeing the number of bidders and the bidding power at the auction.

In addition to cultivating, Qu Yuan would also take Xiaoli to wander around Yuyang City at will, buy some daily necessities, or simply hang out.

This time, Qu Yuan was walking with Xiao Li at the entrance of the bustling street, Xiao Li with a moving smile on his face, his slender fingers like onion roots were holding the pink scarf he had just bought, very happy, and a few white teeth appeared in his lips from time to time.

This period of time may be Xiaoli's happiest since he was born.

Xiaoli's mother left Xiaoli forever when Xiaoli was born, and her father, a gambler, traveled through the casinos in Yuyang City all day long, not caring about Xiaoli's life or death while he was still in infancy.

If it weren't for a kind woman in the neighborhood to help take care of her, maybe Xiaoli would have gone with her mother a long time ago.

When Xiaoli was four or five years old, she was sold to a trafficker by her ruthless father, and later Qu Mingyuan accidentally saw Xiaoli, who was only four or five years old, and felt that he had an eye, so he bought her by the way.

For ten years, Xiaoli has been living in the Qu family, of course, living in the backyard of the Qu family with many women and women of the Qu family, until one day Qu Mingyuan brought her from the backyard to the Qu family's house to take care of Qu Yuan's daily life.

Over the years, Xiaoli has gradually forgotten her bastard father, and only a faint impression is left in her mind. In fact, there were many times when Xiao Li wanted to go to see her bastard father, but in the end it was only for thinking about it, and she didn't take action, and she didn't dare to really go to see this father alone, she was afraid that if she did that, she might not be able to return to Qu Yuan's side.

"Get out!"

"Old immortal thing, don't let us see you next time, otherwise I'll beat you once I see you, get out!"

"What a bad luck!"

“......”

Just as the two were walking, not far ahead, there were bursts of shouting and scolding, mixed with the sound of punching and kicking.

Qu Yuan frowned and looked ahead, in the crowd, a ragged beggar kneeling on the ground with his hair scattered. The surrounding crowd was just numbly pointing at the beggar, and no one was willing to reach out to help.

Qu Yuan stopped slightly, and he was about to turn around and bypass, he didn't want to meddle in things, especially ordinary people's affairs.

"Xiaoli, let's go down the street over there. Qu Yuan turned sideways and said to Xiaoli. But immediately, Qu Yuan's brows furrowed again, because he saw that the expression on Xiao Li's face at this time was a little wrong.

Xiao Li, who was smiling just now, was a little pale at this time, looking at the beggar kneeling on the ground with big eyes, and his delicate body was trembling slightly.

Seeing this scene, Qu Yuan's heart moved, and his eyes looked at the beggar again.

Xiao Li's life experience, of course, has been mentioned to Qu Yuan these days, and at this time, Qu Yuan can certainly guess that this ragged beggar has something to do with Xiao Li.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xiao Li to see this beggar and show such an expression, even if Xiao Li was kind and wanted to help the beggar.

"Young Master, I want to go over and have a look. Xiao Li looked at Qu Yuan with a begging expression, his voice was already a little crying, his chest was heaving, and he was obviously emotionally unstable.

"Well, let's go over and have a look. Qu Yuan nodded and took the lead in walking.

These onlookers were all ordinary people living in the city, including the evil servants who beat the beggars, and they were not cultivators, but they were physically stronger and could act as thugs for ordinary merchants.

Qu Yuan saw that this was in front of a casino, and above the heads of those evil servants, there was a plaque with red letters on a black background, with the words 'Four Seas Casino' written on it.

This is just an ordinary folk casino, cultivators don't bother to come to this kind of place, even if they want to gamble, they will go to the cultivator's house, or some family markets set up a place where they can gamble with the elixir. And this kind of casino in front of you is just ordinary people gambling on some gold and silver coins.

"Don't you want to go, get out of here, don't get in the way of our business. A stout servant spat at the beggar, waving his arms viciously and scolding.
