Chapter 74 News of the Four Nations Tournament

Meanwhile, in another private room

Nan Chuli was slightly taken aback when he heard the name "Qingxin Pill". A fifth-grade Qingxin Pill?

He remembered that when he was taking Chinese medicine, she had given him a calming pill to suppress the effects of the medicine.

If it really comes down to exchanging a Grade 5 Cleansing Pill, then it seems we won't be able to get that fragment of the secret realm scroll.

However, he was only here to take a look today, since even if he got his hands on this thing, it might not be of any use to him.

Just as Nan Chuli was about to leave, he heard a voice coming from room number ten again.

"I have."

He paused, a flicker of emotion crossing his eyes. Could it be... her?

She didn't leave?

Nan Chuli suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of private room number ten. However, because these private rooms were extremely private, he could not hear what the person's original voice was like, nor could he see what the person looked like.

Therefore, it is impossible to determine that it was her based solely on a single Qingxin Pill.

Everyone turned to look at room number ten where Lu Fuyue was, and began whispering among themselves.

"Who exactly is sitting in that private room number ten, that they're so extravagant?"

“I’d also like to know that, but I guess he’s definitely not from our Nanling Kingdom, but rather an elder from some powerful sect outside.”

"That's right, I think only powerful forces can afford to produce fifth-grade pills."

...

Yun Ji was also somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that someone could actually produce a Grade 5 Heart-Clearing Pill without batting an eye. She wondered which major power the person in room number ten came from.

Seeing that no one spoke, she cleared her throat and looked towards room number ten.

"The fragments of the secret realm scroll auctioned this time were acquired by the guest in room number ten."

Inside private room number five, Yun Luoxue and the leader of the Alchemy Alliance exchanged a glance, immediately understood each other's meaning, and then nodded.

They walked out of the private room.

The people in the other private rooms were just there to watch the fun, but they never expected to witness such a good show.

So, I couldn't help but feel curious.

They all sent people to guard outside the auction house, ready to see who this person who could produce a fifth-grade pill was.

Before long, someone delivered the item to Lu Fuyue.

Lu Fuyue opened it and took a closer look. On the back of the tattered scroll, there was a beautiful and mysterious red phoenix tail. Faintly, a powerful spiritual energy emanated from every feather of the phoenix tail.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same pattern as the one on her mother's arm.

Her eyes flickered slightly as she placed the item into her spatial storage.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he handed the jade bottle containing the Heart-Clearing Pill to the maid.

The maid took the jade bottle, opened it, examined it carefully, and nodded. It was indeed a Grade 5 Heart-Clearing Pill.

Suddenly, she took out a blue jade pendant and presented it with both hands, "Senior, this is a blue-grade jade pendant from our auction house."

"As long as you have this blue-grade jade token, you will be a VIP customer of our auction house, no matter which auction house you go to, and you will be able to receive priority assistance from our auction house."

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fuyue's eyes, but she quickly understood.

In the entire cultivation world, while fifth-grade pills are not extremely rare, they are not something that ordinary people can easily produce.

By exchanging a jade pendant for the customer's favor, both parties are satisfied.

Lu Fuyue took the jade token and put it into her spatial storage. She looked up at the maid and said, "I want to find your auction house to inquire about some information. I wonder where I can find such information?"

The maid bowed respectfully and replied, "Senior, if you have any questions, you can write them on the paper in the envelope on the table. The answer you want will appear on this paper in half an hour."

Lu Fuyue looked at the envelope on the table, then picked it up and opened it. Sure enough, there was a piece of paper inside.

Seeing this, the maidservant wisely withdrew.

Lu Fuyue picked up her pen and wrote down her desire to know the specific details of the Four Nations Tournament on the paper before putting the paper back into the envelope.

The envelope disappeared from the table in no time.

Lu Fuyue watched this scene with a hint of interest in her eyes.

I heard that this auction house was just a small treasure shop a few hundred years ago.

But the person behind the auction house has managed to transform it from a small treasure pavilion into a powerful force that now spans the entire cultivation world.

Even the Tianxuan Sect, one of the three major sects in the cultivation world, dared not easily provoke the Jinhe Auction House.

Soon, half an hour had passed.

The envelope reappeared on the table.

Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly as she opened the envelope and took out the paper inside.

Sure enough, detailed information about the four-nation competition had already been written under her question.

After learning all this information, Lu Fuyue summoned the maid again, paid the spirit stones, and left.

As soon as she left the auction house, she noticed that several experts at the Golden Core stage were following her.

Lu Fuyue walked silently to another, more secluded place, and then led the group of people around several places.

Finally, taking them by surprise, he used the Lotus Steps technique to quickly shake them off.

After realizing they had lost track of them, the group of people went back to report.

...

After returning to the inn, Lu Fuyue cast several protective barriers on the room, then turned around and entered the space.

In the small bamboo house,

Lu Fuyue picked up the fragment of the secret realm scroll and studied it carefully.

Just by looking at the state of the fragments, you can tell that there are probably two more fragments missing.

To find out the exact location of the secret realm from this fragment, we would need a complete map, but finding the other two pieces would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, Lu Fuyue had no intention of wasting her energy searching for the other two fragments.

What interested her was only the red phoenix tail pattern on the back of the tattered scroll.

No matter how she looked at it, she couldn't discern any secrets in the tattered scroll.

A moment later, Lu Fuyue put the things aside and continued cultivating.

Right now, her most important task is to obtain Nan Chuli's heart's blood, then enter the ancestral temple and obtain the Water Zither String.

Soon, the time for the four-nation competition will arrive.

Because among the four neighboring small countries, Nanling Kingdom is the strongest, the Four Kingdoms Tournament was decided to be held in Nanling Kingdom.

Based on information obtained from the auction house, Lu Fuyue familiarized herself with the location of the second round of the Four Kingdoms Grand Competition: the Monster Forest.

She would wait until Nan Chuli stepped into the Monster Forest, then follow him and secretly steal his heart's blood.

Soon, three days later, the first match of the Four Nations Grand Competition had come to an end.

Lu Fuyue, who was mixed in with the crowd, glanced indifferently at Nan Chuli on the stage, who had injured his opponent with a single palm strike, and then turned and left.

Tomorrow is the day she secretly enters the Forest of Demons and Beasts to steal Nan Chuli's heart's blood.

To be absolutely sure, she had to investigate further.

Nan Chuli on the stage seemed to sense something and looked at the crowd with some doubt, but found nothing.
