Completely relying on Shen Xuan, thus temporarily residing at Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Shen Xuan placed a massive order with him.

Reserving a full million jin of top-grade Spirit Wine, with a prepayment of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones as a deposit.

The requirements are simple.

The alcohol content must be high, and the contained Spiritual Qi should be sufficient. As for taste and flavor, they are secondary.

Gu Xiaoyao had personally witnessed Shen Xuan use the Treasure Fan to ignite Spirit Wine, displaying the might of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, naturally understanding the true purpose of this batch of wine.

This big order was enough to make him profit handsomely, therefore he worked exceptionally hard.

"By the way, Shen Pill Master."

Gu Xiaoyao remembered something: "Two months later, Myriad Phenomena Immortal City is having a large auction event. I’ve heard it’s of considerable scale, with treasures gathering. Are you interested in going to see? Maybe you can bid on some good items."

"Auction?"

Shen Xuan asked, "Will there be a Nascent Soul Pill auction?"

"Nascent Soul Pill?"

Gu Xiaoyao was momentarily speechless, rolling his eyes.

"My Shen Pill Master, you certainly dare to think big! Such divine objects could hardly appear at an auction! Even Heavenly and Earthly Treasures to assist in Nascent Soul Formation appear rarely. However, various Tier Three Spiritual Materials, Magical Treasures, Elixirs, Cultivation Techniques, surely won’t be lacking; there will definitely be top-grade items."

"Then forget it."

Shen Xuan, lacking interest, waved his hand to refuse.

Currently, he doesn’t lack cultivation resources.

If there truly were such supreme treasures as the Nascent Soul Pill, it would be worth taking risks and planning.

As for other high-tier Spiritual Objects, they offer limited improvement to his current cultivation stage.

Instead, attending an auction might expose wealth and bring unnecessary trouble.

Even if he truly wanted to attend the auction for a glimpse, he would never go as "Shen Xingchen."

He would certainly change his appearance, conceal his whereabouts, and act alone.

"Who sent you to ask?" Shen Xuan inquired.

"Who else could it be?"

Gu Xiaoyao, with no psychological burden, betrayed the person behind the scenes.

"Naturally, it’s Zhang Shixiu, Clan Leader Zhang. He probably wants to take the opportunity to go with you, making use of your reputation for more convenience at the auction or to bolster his presence."

"Please inform Clan Leader Zhang that Shen will be in closed-door cultivation recently, and won’t easily leave the island unless there’s something important. As for the auction, excuse me from participating."

"No problem, no problem! Leave it to the old Taoist!"

Gu Xiaoyao agreed, exchanged a few idle words, drank the Spirit Tea in his cup, and then contentedly got up to take his leave.

...

Two days later.

Shen Xuan exhibited [Thousand Transformations], swiftly transforming into a nondescript late-stage Foundation Establishment fire technique loose cultivator.

Calling himself Wei Tiancheng, he followed the crowd to Myriad Phenomena Immortal City.

This first Immortal City, standing tall in the heartland of Qin Country, is grand and far surpasses Mingyan City and Yueqi City.

It relies on a main Spirit Vein and two subsidiary Spirit Veins, totaling three Tier Four Spirit Veins, and is supplemented by Five Elements Spirit Veins—gold, wood, water, fire, earth—to form a self-sustaining structure.

The entire city is like a vast living entity, operating endlessly, with dense Spiritual Qi forming into mist and pressure like mountains.

This city is the absolute core of the Myriad Phenomena Daoist Palace, with millions of cultivators residing.

Any cultivation force with some fame within Qin Country operates a shop or sets up a base here.

Diverse and bustling, thriving in prosperity.

The city’s order is strict, with fierce presence of the Daoist Palace Law Enforcement Team patrolling back and forth.

Rumors say a Tier Four City Defense Array envelops the entire city, monitoring constantly.

In Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, apart from the Law Enforcement Team, no one dares to casually cast spells.

Shen Xuan has entered and exited over ten times, quite familiar with the city, navigating effortlessly.

At the city gate, he registered the pseudonym Wei Tiancheng, paid the two Spirit Stones entry fee, and freely walked into the wide main street that can accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages side by side.

On the street, the crowd surged like a stream, shoulder to shoulder, various transportation artifacts, tamed Spirit Beasts, and luxurious carriages flowed continuously, bustling and noisy.

At a glance, over ninety percent of the cultivators have cultivation stages at the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Even in such a top-tier Immortal City, Qi Cultivation Cultivators are still the predominant mainstream.

Ahead, a celestial city carriage drawn by four white Spirit Steeds had two female True Masters seated side-by-side.

One of them, graceful in stature, wore a subtle palatial gown, with cloud-like hair pinned high, her elegant appearance showcased, with traces of spiritual and charming allure from her past enhancing a mature elegance accumulated over time.

"Hmm?"

Shen Xuan’s steps noticeably paused.

It’s True Master Illusion Flower from Lu Country’s Myriad Phenomena Sect.

Thoughts flashed quickly in his mind.

Calculating the age, this former "red acquaintance" is over a decade younger than him, yet now she is over two hundred years old.

Judging by her appearance, she clearly has good methods for preserving her looks, well-maintained, with a ruddy complexion, an aura of dignified elegance surrounding her.

Shen Xuan remained calm, quietly shifting his position to the rear side of the crowd, deliberately avoiding the sight line of the carriage’s direction.

He had no intention of acknowledging True Master Illusion Flower.

Past events have long faded like smoke in the wind.

Even during moments of solitude, yearning for some comfort.

In Myriad Phenomena Immortal City, there’s the renowned "Fairy Pavilion," where silver goods trade for mutual needs, simple and carefree, without entanglements.

However, just as the carriage was about to pass by, True Master Illusion Flower seemed to sense something, suddenly turning her head with a hint of doubt in her gaze.

Her Divine Sense expanded, scanning towards the general area where Shen Xuan had just been.

"Sister Illusion Flower, what are you looking at?"

The female True Master in a moon-white long dress beside her asked softly.

"Just now, I glimpsed a figure that seemed familiar, like an old acquaintance."

True Master Illusion Flower slightly frowned her elegant brows, her tone carrying uncertainty.

She hadn’t seen the other person’s appearance.

It’s just a subtle feeling stemming from the familiarity of posture, movement habits.

"Oh? Do you want me to summon the nearby Law Enforcement Team to search carefully?"
