The Qingqiu Clan's hot spring.

When Li Ye and Su Ya arrived here, they were greeted by a pool of pink water strewn with light pink peach blossom petals.

The water was steaming, and there was a very peculiar and rich fragrance.

Nearby stood some statues of the Fox Race, with the hot spring water gushing from the mouth of one of these statues.

It looked quite nice.

But this pink pool water...

"I didn't expect the Qingqiu Fox Clan to still retain its ancient blood aura."

Su Ya had already changed into attire for soaking in the hot spring and waved with a smile to Li Ye:

"Legend has it that the spring water of the Qingqiu Fox was dyed this color when their ancestor bled into the Spiritual Spring after being injured."

Li Ye blinked.

Isn't this just diluted, so here the color pink actually represents blood?

As he walked forward, he asked, "I've seen a few of my junior sisters wearing pink dresses before, turns out they are quite brave."

"…"

Su Ya regarded Li Ye with a peculiar look several times.

"Don't say this in front of your junior and senior sisters, this color isn't about explanation, just that pink looks better."

He scooped up a handful of water, letting it gently fall back.

The mist refracted a dreamlike pink halo.

Li Ye was already in the hot spring by now, and the water, as if possessing a spirituality of its own, gently caressed his skin, infusing some of the rich heat into his meridians.

As his whole body entered the spring, the slightly scorching temperature made Li Ye moan involuntarily: "This hot spring is truly comfortable, I want to have one in my Cave Mansion."

So long using ordinary Spiritual Water heated for baths, how did he forget to have a hot spring in his Cave Mansion?

"Hot springs are easy to set up," Su Ya replied: "The Four Seasons Jade Pendant available in the Cave Mansion can buy ordinary hot spring fountains, but if you want one exactly like the Qingqiu Fox, it's extremely difficult.

It's better to cultivate some Spirit Plants to provide hot water, which also has the effect of a hot spring."

Listening to this, Li Ye suddenly fell silent.

Indeed!

He had been researching crops for profit, but forgot to prepare some living essentials for relaxation in his Cave Mansion.

Now, being a Cultivator without the urgent pressure of cultivation, spending leisure time on a boat on the lake, soaking in a hot spring when weary, and sleeping on clouds when tired.

An endless lifespan would really be monotonous without these pleasures.

But the premise is money.

Let's see how many Spirit Stones this auction can earn first.

...

Thus,

he and Su Ya waited here for two days.

Two days later, Hu Tong personally delivered an invitation intricately inlaid with gold and jade, detailing the items to be auctioned at the event they had planned.

Even listing the number of attendees—twenty thousand.

Hu Tong wore a smile: "These treasures you two Taoist Friends have are unprecedentedly rare.

That's why so many Taoist Friends have signed up to attend.

The commission for this auction, the elder in the Pavilion decreed, will only be half a percent."

She didn't know who these two people actually were.

But hearing it from the elder indicated something.

What matters most in this line of work is keeping secrets, having dealt with numerous guests and valuable treasures.

If she hadn't kept those secrets deeply, she would probably find herself inside a tree in Demon Suppression Valley.

"Even the noble elder takes an interest in us?" Li Ye furrowed his brow slightly.

"The elder said... she, too, once gazed at the stars in the sky." Hu Tong wasn't sure why the elder said this, but she was merely a mouthpiece, delivering the message faithfully.

This saying was imposed with a Forbidden Technique, destined to be forgotten upon utterance.

"…"

The words gave Li Ye goosebumps, and Su Ya felt the same.

Could it be the master's/martial uncle's significant other?

And seemingly not very smooth as a relationship, otherwise, why say something slightly soured like this.

Curious as they were, it indeed was quite dangerous.

So Li Ye only pondered for a moment.

Then he said to Hu Tong, "Thank you, on my behalf, to the noble elder, and please, Taoist Friend Hu, spare no effort in handling the auction."

"No effort at all." Hu Tong smiled as she gestured invitingly: "Then this young lady will lead you two Taoist Friends to the private room over there."

"Sure."

Li Ye and Su Ya traveled through a spatial portal, arriving in a luxuriously decorated private room.

Subsequently, Hu Tong presented them with some Spirit Fruit and delicacies unique to the Qingqiu Fox Clan's territory, then quietly retreated to prepare for the auction.

...

The Four Seasons Treasure Pavilion's auction venue was, of course, unlike ordinary venues.

The affluent Pavilion arranged for private rooms for all attendees, further customizable based on the number of people and their requirements.

In future participation in various auctions, they could access their private rooms by incurring a nominal Spirit Stone fee.

So the entire auction's main stage was merely a platform hovering in the Star Sea, with the surrounding shining starlight serving as private rooms.

An elegant Qingqiu Fox Race woman, who was slender and beautiful, presided over the auction affairs.

She beamed a smile at the private rooms inhabited by various cultivators.

"I'm Hu Tong."

"The Spiritual Objects auction held here will be hosted by me."

"Every item auctioned today is certified by the Talisman Seal of the Four Halls of the Four Seasons Sect, assuring authenticity."
