Qinchuan had never participated in an auction before, and this was the first time he had heard about it. This made Qinchuan, who was curious about everything new, couldn't help but ask, "Is there an auction in Xiyang City?"
"Of course."
A 'Zhu smiled and said, "Xiyang City holds a small auction every month, and a large auction every half a year. The day after tomorrow is the day of the large auction. If you take this demon core to the auction, you should be able to get a good price."
Qinchuan said with some emotion, "Xiyang City is indeed Xiyang City."
Although the State Capital of Qing was also an independent city, it was far inferior to Xiyang City. The area of Xiyang City was at least five times that of the State Capital of Qing, and the population was more than ten times that of the State Capital of Qing. Whether it was technological or economic conditions, the State Capital of Qing couldn't be compared to Xiyang City. At least, Qinchuan had never heard of any auction in the State Capital of Qing.
"Our Yu Family has a special box at the auction. If you want to see the auction, you can come with us."
A 'Zhu could see that Qinchuan was very curious about the auction, so she didn't wait for Qinchuan to mention it and took the initiative to invite him.
Hearing A 'Zhu's invitation to participate in the auction, Qinchuan was immediately very happy and said to A' Zhu, "Thank you very much."
For such a grand event like the auction, Qinchuan didn't want to miss it. Even if he couldn't afford to buy anything, it was still very good to broaden his horizons.
"You're welcome. If you take this demon core to the auction, you can also get a seat, but it won't be a box."
A 'Zhu felt that it was necessary to explain these small things to Qinchuan. If Qinchuan misunderstood that she was deliberately doing him a favor, then it wouldn't be good.
"I'll have to trouble Sister A 'Zhu about the auction," Qinchuan handed the demon core to A' Zhu and said, "I'll have to trouble you for a while."
Originally, Qinchuan had planned to leave after visiting the Yu Clan, but now it seemed that he would have to stay for a few more days.
After Ah-Zhu left, Yu Cai 'er looked at Qinchuan, who was sitting on the sofa with a fascinated look on his face. She asked curiously, "What's so good about the auction? Why are you so excited?"
Qinchuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "For you, the auction is indeed meaningless. But for me, it's a rare opportunity to broaden my horizons. After all, I've never experienced such an occasion before. It's inevitable that I'm a little excited."
Qinchuan didn't try to hide it. He wasn't the kind of person who cared so much about his reputation. If he hadn't seen it before, then he hadn't seen it before. There was nothing to hide.
"I didn't mean to mock you."
Yu Cai 'er was worried that Qinchuan would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "I just think that it's silly for a group of people to bid for the same thing at the auction. If you want something, you can just spend money to buy it. Why do you have to compete with others?"
Qinchuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was probably the way a rich girl thought about things. Sure enough, it was different from ordinary people.
…
Qinchuan's optical computer had been destroyed during the battle with the demon beasts. Fortunately, his optical computer chip was saved, and he could continue to plug in a new optical computer.
He borrowed a new optical computer from Yu Cai 'er and plugged in the chip. In an instant, hundreds of messages poured into his mailbox. The optical computer beeped non-stop.
Most of these messages were from Wang Bo, some from Lü Zi, and only one from Zhou Lin.
Seeing these messages, Qinchuan first opened Zhou Lin's message. There was only one simple sentence inside.
"Foundation Establishment has been completed."
Seeing this sentence, Qinchuan couldn't help but smile. He glanced at the time on the message. This message was sent to him by Zhou Lin two months ago. In other words, Zhou Lin had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage for two months!
"As expected of Senior Sister, her progress is really fast." Qinchuan said with some emotion, "I don't know when I can step into the Foundation Establishment stage."
Thinking so, Qinchuan operated the optical computer to send a video call request to Zhou Lin. After waiting for about three seconds, the video call was connected.
The optical computer flashed, and Zhou Lin's charming and beautiful face appeared in front of Qinchuan.
"Hello, congratulations on successfully advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage, Senior Sister."
Qinchuan looked at Zhou Lin with a smile and said, "My congratulations may be a little late, but I'm absolutely sincere."
"Since you have already walked out of the Cloud Dragon Mountain, you must have advanced to the Qi Refining stage."
Zhou Lin knew that Qinchuan had entered the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range to train. Since Qinchuan contacted her at this time, it meant that Qinchuan had already walked out of the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range. This also meant that Qinchuan had successfully advanced to the Qi Refining stage and ended his training.
"This training was really scary but not dangerous." Qinchuan smiled and said with emotion, "I actually killed a Demonic Beast. Can you believe it?"
"Demonic Beast?
Are you injured? "
Zhou Lin suddenly frowned and asked with concern, "Are your injuries serious?"
"I'm fine, I've already recovered."
Qinchuan chuckled. Seeing that Zhou Lin didn't doubt whether he had really killed a Demonic Beast, but was instead concerned about his physical condition, Qinchuan felt very warm in his heart.
"By the way, there's something I want to tell you."
The expression on Zhou Lin's face suddenly became serious. She said to Qinchuan in a very serious voice, "Is there anyone around you?"
Qinchuan heard this and looked around, then said to Zhou Lin, "There's no one. What's wrong?"
"After I returned to the school, I've been looking up information, trying to figure out what's going on with your brain. Combining the literature records and the explanations of the mentors, I finally came to a conclusion."
Zhou Lin looked deeply at Qinchuan and said, "The changes in your brain are not abnormal. It's very likely that it's a manifestation of the Perfect State!"
Qinchuan was stunned for a moment and said with some astonishment, "You mean I've already touched the Perfect State?"
"That's right!"
Zhou Lin nodded solemnly and said, "In the official history, there are very few records about the Perfect State. However, I found a rumor in the unofficial history. Three thousand years ago, the almighty cultivator Li Huo the Venerable was once burned by a raging fire during a cultivation in the Body Tempering Stage!"
"And this Li Huo the Venerable was the person who recently touched the Perfect State in the Body Tempering Stage!
And his Domain was the Domain of Fire! "
"When you were enveloped by the power of thunder, it was very similar to how this Li Huo the Venerable was burned by a raging fire!
Therefore, I suspect that this special situation should be a symbol of touching the Perfect State! "
Hearing Zhou Lin's words, Qinchuan felt that his brain wasn't enough. He originally didn't have any hope for the Perfect State, but now Zhou Lin suddenly told him that he had touched the Perfect State long ago, but he just didn't know it.
This was too fantastical!
