Six years later.

In the market of Anping Town, many travelling merchants came and went. This small town happened to be the border between the Liang and Chu states.

In a black market exchange. A dove egg-sized ”source” appeared, boiling the whole town.

It was said that this source originated from the imperial palace of the Great Qin Nation. Someone had stolen it and auctioned it off here. This source was also the largest that had appeared so far.

”Origin” was hard to find, especially since such a large Origin Core was rarely seen in a hundred years. It was priceless. Everyone rushed to the auction venue. As for this auction, as long as they sold spirit stones, they wouldn't need gold or silver.

”Indeed, it is a high-grade spirit stone. Even its appearance is exceptionally adorable.” Behind the auction house, a five to six-year-old boy holding a pile of Spirit Stones let out a sigh.

He grabbed another high-grade spirit stone with one hand and could not help but bite into it.

Hard enough, good stuff.

The pink bun's face brimmed with a trace of a happy smile. His black beautiful eyes were filled with a sense of satisfaction. The shop assistant who was holding onto a plate of food by the side could not bear to look at them.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders present. Otherwise, they wouldn't want to believe that this was their Young Master's house.

”Young master, can we begin?” The auctioneer walked up to Steamed Bun and reminded him.

The little girl finally stood up and stuffed all the spirit stones into her storage ring. She then raised her eyebrows and smiled darkly, ”Have you collected all the spirit stones?”

”Put everything away.” The auctioneer replied respectfully.

”Then let's begin!” The little bun waved his hand and his heroic spirit rose.

The auctioneer finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Outside, the cheers were like a tide.

As the auctioneer's voice rang out, the auction officially began.

A line of guards crunched on the tiles and jumped through the window with their swords.

”Sword of Azure Sky, a top-quality spiritual sword forged by Master Zuo Liangchen. It is suitable for flying, fighting, and travelling. The starting price is thirty high grade spirit stones! ”

Wow!” The crowd burst into an uproar.

Those who were able to come here were basically not famous forces from other countries. There were even some who came here disguised as rich merchants. However, when they heard this price, they still found it a bit unbearable.

”I bid 40 high grade spirit stones.” A light voice came from a corner. That person's body was luxurious and his aura was cold.

Someone recognized him. It was the 3rd prince of Chu, Murong Yan.

”Forty-five high-grade spirit stones.” He was dressed in a purple robe, and his aura was extremely arrogant and proud, just like a peacock. He was the Crown Prince of Liang Country, Dugu Chong.

Liang State, a subsidiary of the town of Anping, though Liang State and Chu State are neighbouring countries. The two countries also had a hundred year old bond of friendship, but there were countless conflicts and competitions between them in the dark.

Every time he did so, Dugu Chong would be able to suppress Murong Yan by five high grade spirit stones.

The little bun who was hiding in the back of the auction burst out into laughter. It would be best if these two idiots could keep competing with each other!

That way, spirit stones and money would roll in, but he did not expect that at this moment, his neck would suddenly feel a chill, and he felt a sense of danger. There was actually a sword placed on his neck.
