Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The eighth item, Primordial Enlightenment Stone.

Fist-sized, entirely gray and misty.

No luster, no patterns, no law fluctuations.

It is somewhat similar to the Xiantian Yuan Chu Crystal, yet different.

The Xiantian Yuan Chu Crystal seals within it the state of the universe at the beginning.

The interior of the Enlightenment Stone seals the evolutionary process of law origin.

This item cannot be used to refine magic treasures, nor can it be directly absorbed, but it can be activated when a cultivator is undergoing tribulation to break through a bottleneck, allowing the tribulation-crosser to "see" the primordial form at the birth of law origin within an extremely short time, thereby greatly increasing their depth of comprehension of the corresponding law origin.

For Xu Zhangqing, who is about to undergo the Combined Body Tribulation, this stone is more useful than the Wood Spirit Crystal.

The ninth item, Dragon Vein Source Crystal.

Only thumb-sized, teardrop-shaped.

Entirely translucent, with a drop of blue liquid sealed inside the crystal.

This is the last drop of source essence extracted from an ancient dragon vein underground.

Consuming this drop of essence grants dragon vein support for a period of time, greatly increasing affinity for spiritual energy, while also giving the flesh body extremely strong recovery ability.

Furthermore, this drop of essence has a special resonance effect on creatures possessing Dragon Race bloodlines.

It can temporarily awaken the dormant Dragon Race origin within the bloodline, allowing the bloodline holder to unleash abilities far surpassing their current realm within a short time.

Xu Zhangqing masters Youlong Nine Transformations, and possesses a total of six Dragon Race bloodlines within his body.

Such as the lowest-grade Fish Dragon Bloodline.

Up to the highest-grade Zhulong Bloodline.

Of course, the Qinglong Bloodline is no simple matter either.

So it goes without saying that the value of this drop of essence to him is self-evident.

Actually, this was dug up by Nangong He's grandfather back then at great cost from a dragon vein deep within the Qinglong Mountain Range, and he had never been willing to bring it out for auction.

The same goes for the Primordial Enlightenment Stone.

Today, to curry favor with Xu Zhangqing, Nangong He laid all his trump cards on the table.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze swept back and forth between the Primordial Enlightenment Stone and the Dragon Vein Source Crystal.

The former is the key to comprehending the Dao, the latter is the fuel for bloodlines.

Either of these two items alone would be enough to be the climax treasure of a major auction, and now they await his selection.

He hesitated not at all, directly putting the Wood Spirit Crystal, Ancient Relic Seed, Taichu Nourishing Soul Wood, Nine Apertures Exquisite Seed, Primordial Enlightenment Stone, and Dragon Vein Source Crystal—all of them—into his bag.

Seeing this scene, Nangong He's eyes held both excitement and surprise.

Back then, Grandfather had a venomous eye for value, willing to overpay rather than let good things slip through his fingers, accumulating this family foundation bit by bit over time.

Originally thought the other party would only pick a few items, never expected to have bet correctly this time.

For Xu Zhangqing, the Qingdi Changsheng Jue Fragment is meaningless.

He cultivates the Yuan Dao Heavenly Book, which not only includes the Qing Emperor's system but also the Creation Dao system, and furthermore, his lifespan is already over twenty million years.

As for the Withered Wood Meets Spring Talisman, though it can be studied, it is not needed now.

As for the Endless Life Array Plate, it is indeed useful at the Star Spirit Grass, but Xu Zhangqing has always relied on Creation Power to ripen spirit plants.

Put plainly, the Yuan Dao Heavenly Book has long formed its own system.

The closed loop of Yuan Dao is enough to crush any single system.

The Six Treasures of Creation plus the Heaven and Earth Furnace, combining offense and defense, dual cultivation of pills and artifacts.

As for magic treasures and talismans, his storage items hold who knows how many, all accumulated over several thousand years as family foundation.

Xu Zhangqing finished picking, slightly nodding: "Just these few items, take the rest to auction."

"Yes!"

Nangong He's face showed not the slightest reluctance, his smile becoming even more eager.

Xu Zhangqing took another sip of tea, then asked: "How are these things to be counted?"

Nangong He hurriedly replied: "Ten thousand Superior Spirit Stones per item, Senior; if inconvenient, Middle-grade Spirit Stones will do, and I will convert the quantity accordingly."

As he spoke, his tone was sincere, even carrying a touch of anxiety, afraid the other party would think it too expensive.

You must know, ten thousand Superior Spirit Stones in the auction houses of Qinglong Donglu cannot buy even half a Wood Spirit Crystal, let alone the Ancient Relic Seed, Primordial Enlightenment Stone, Dragon Vein Source Crystal... these town-store treasures that have weighed down the Nangong Family's warehouses for three generations.

But now, he has no choice but to do so.

Xu Zhangqing raised his eyes to look at this person, his gaze carrying a hint of scrutiny: "What do you mean?"

Nangong He met those deep, profound eyes like an abyss, his heart giving a sudden jump.

He knew his little scheme could not be hidden from this senior before him, so he simply took a deep breath and knelt straight down.

Not on one knee, but both knees.

His whole person knelt on the ground, raising his head, speaking with a serious expression: "Senior, this junior does not want to be trapped in Qinglong Donglu for a lifetime."

Grandfather guarded this auction house, and eventually passed away in meditation.

Father guarded this auction house, and eventually retired into seclusion.

This junior does not want to walk the dead end they walked, wanting to go outside and make a name for himself.

The Nangong Family in Qinglong Donglu indeed has some background and influence.

Even so, he could never walk out in a lifetime.

Junior dares to ask senior for a chance!

Xu Zhangqing looked at the young branch manager kneeling before him, and couldn't help but fall silent.

Thousands of years ago, I myself was trapped in a place and couldn't get out.

Back then, I was the Yuheng Star Lord.

I was the core of the entire Spirit Plant System of the Northern Dipper Xianfu.

I was an immovable chess piece on the Great Dao Venerable's chessboard.

Precisely because of this, I could understand what being trapped felt like.

Nangong He was not trapped in a cage, but trapped in his own birth.

The Nangong family had operated auction houses for generations and had some standing in Qinglong Donglu, but this foundation itself was an invisible cage.

He did not lack spirit stones.

He did not lack resources.

He did not lack connections.

Only lacking one thing: a stairway to higher places.

The current Xu Zhangqing was this stairway.

Step on it, and you could reach the heavens!

"Get up."

Xu Zhangqing put down his tea cup, looking at him calmly: "This way, you have two choices.

First, under the Northern Dipper Xianfu, the Xu Family Sui Hang.

This is a family industry, possessing cross-star domain spirit plant trade lines, spread throughout the Floating World Four Domains.

If you go to Sui Hang, with the foundation of the Nangong family operating auction houses for three generations, acting as a branch manager is more than enough.

Second, the Endless Star Domain, Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.

I give you a letter of introduction; after going there, you can choose any position at the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce branch.

You should know the scale of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce; it is a top-three chamber of commerce in the Endless Star Domain, with business spread across all major star domains."

Hearing this, Nangong He was completely stunned.

The Xu Family Sui Hang was the family industry of Xu Zhangqing, the Yuheng Star Lord of the Northern Dipper Xianfu, the largest cross-star domain merchant in the entire Floating World Four Domains.

Not to mention Qinglong Donglu.

Even in any star land of the Four Directions Star Domain, it was an existence that walked sideways.

As for the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce, needless to say, it was a colossus ranked top three in the Endless Star Domain; the name of its chairman Jin Buhuan was thunderously famous even among people of remote star lands like Qinglong Donglu.

He originally thought this senior would at most give him a letter of introduction.

For example, to some inconspicuous corner of the Northern Dipper Xianfu to find a small job.

As a result, he never expected the other party to be so generous!
