The Road of Heavenly Pride! It was laid down by the sages of past generations! Its purpose was to temper the younger generation. This road was rich in resources, with countless cultivators upon it. Although it was called a road, everyone knew it was practically a nation in its own right. Only, this nation had no emperor. It had only the guardians of this single road.
Ye Chu and Ye Jingyun gazed at the city before them. The city was magnificent and grand, yet its walls were stained with blood. It carried the scent of ages past, and one could sense that this city had been baptised in blood.
No one knew how many years the city had stood. Generation after generation of outstanding talents had passed through it.
After paying a price of four hundred Azure Origin Pills, Ye Chu and his group were allowed entry by the soldiers guarding the city. The city was a world unto itself.
The city was vast, with countless cultivators within, and no shortage of powerful ones. Ye Chu found an inn to rest, but the price was staggering. Ten Azure Origin Pills per day.
Fortunately, Ye Chu had plundered the treasury of an imperial figure, so he counted as a wealthy man. Such a price was entirely within his means.
After using a hundred Azure Origin Pills to secure several superior rooms, Ye Chu had the inn’s attendant give him a general introduction to the city. He finally gained a rough understanding of the place. Upon learning that there was an auction today at the city centre, Ye Chu felt somewhat interested.
After dismissing the attendant, Ye Chu handed the refined pill pellets, formed from the essence of two peak Profound Life Realm experts, to the three women and said, “These pellets should be of great help to you. Work hard to raise your strength. I hope you can all step into the King realm soon.”
Ye Jingyun quickly snatched them from Ye Chu’s hand. The essence of ordinary Profound Life Realm experts was already useless to them. However, with the essence of peak Profound Life Realm experts to cultivate with, their strength would surely skyrocket.
Ye Jingyun had always been bitter about Ye Chu catching up to her in realm. Now that she had a chance to surpass him, she naturally would not miss it.
Watching the three charming, voluptuous, alluring and seductive women sit cross-legged in cultivation, Ye Chu secretly swept his eyes over their chests, comparing whose was slightly larger. After studying them for a long time to no avail, Ye Chu finally began his own cultivation.
Unlike Ye Jingyun and the others’ cultivation, Ye Chu’s was silent and traceless, and he did not consume any Azure Origin Pills. For he had discovered that the medicinal effect of Azure Origin Pills was already extremely limited for him. The spiritual energy contained within the pills was not of a high enough grade for his cultivation.
Cultivating until evening, and after paying an exorbitant price for dinner, Ye Chu’s group finally set off for the auction house.
However, on the way, Ye Jingyun muttered discontentedly, “You’ve cultivated to this level, what use is ordinary food to you? You might as well just swallow Azure Origin Pills as food directly. Over a hundred pills just to indulge your tongue. You wastrel!”
Ye Chu paid no mind to Ye Jingyun’s cursing. He shrugged indifferently, looking at Ye Jingyun as if she were an idiot. “Is this the first time you’ve known me? The title of wastrel isn’t something I’m being called for the first time. This young master has plenty of money. Tomorrow I’ll eat one meal and throw one away. Eating my own food, let others drool with envy.”
“…”
Yang Hui and Yang Ning watched as Ye Jingyun’s pretty face flushed with anger once again. They snickered from the side. Seeing that Ye Jingyun was about to explode and kick Ye Chu, they quickly reached out to hold her back.
The three women were enchanting and alluring. As they walked through the city, they attracted many gazes, each one burning hot. Seeing this scene, Ye Chu couldn’t help but rub his fists together. He shouted inwardly: Come on, come and rob them! Such beautiful women, don’t let this opportunity pass you by!
Yet although the people of the city had burning gazes, no one made a move. This caused Ye Chu to curse aloud, “A bunch of cowardly eunuchs with lust but no guts!”
The three women were curious why Ye Chu had suddenly cursed like this. But after hearing his explanation, Ye Jingyun’s fist finally couldn’t help but hammer into him. Has this scoundrel got shit for brains? He actually hoped others would come and rob his female companions. This is a perverted mind!
Even the usually obedient Yang Hui blushed at this moment, rolling her eyes at Ye Chu. “Young Master…”
“Haha! Just a joke, just a joke!” Ye Chu laughed it off, but his gaze turned to several cultivators in the distance. He gave them the middle finger, thinking they were truly a bunch of useless trash.
Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu’s actions. She kicked out but missed him, then rolled her eyes. She thought that perhaps the robbing of people happened frequently in other places, but on the Road of Heavenly Pride, it was actually quite rare.
Because those who dared to walk this road were definitely not weak. For example, Yang Hui and Yang Ning looked delicate and bewitching, but their strength was formidable. So unless one understood the full situation, cultivators on the Road of Heavenly Heavenly Pride would not easily offend others.
For a reckless fool with water in his brain like Ye Chu, Ye Jingyun felt it was better to keep some distance from him.
Entering the auction house, it was already packed with people. The private boxes had long been fully booked, and Ye Chu could not obtain one even if he wanted to. This caused Ye Chu to frown.
“Young Master! Just find a place to sit!” Yang Hui knew that Ye Chu had recently become increasingly fond of luxury. Seeing his displeased expression, she quickly said, “The inn attendant told us that the auction house boxes are all occupied by those of distinguished reputation in the city and the city’s powers. Even money cannot buy them.”
Ye Chu nodded. He led Yang Hui and Yang Ning to take their seats in the main hall.
The auction house quickly grew noisy. This was the first city of the Road of Heavenly Pride. Many people had not expected the prices on the Road of Heavenly Pride to be so high. Many cultivators had exhausted the wealth they carried, and were forced to use other treasures on their persons to exchange for Azure Origin Pills.
It was precisely because of this that the auctions in this city were exceptionally lively. Many rare treasures would appear here!
Ye Chu also had Yang Hui take out a breakthrough pill and place it in the auction house. Sitting there enjoying Yang Ning massaging his shoulders, he wondered if any items that caught his eye would appear tonight.
Ye Jingyun looked at Ye Chu lying there lazily like a pig, staring at him with utter disdain. It was truly hard to understand how such a fellow could have cultivated to this level.
Thinking of that battle that day, Ye Chu had now surpassed her.
“Ji Die! Where are you? Come over and fiercely beat down this scoundrel’s arrogance!” Ye Jingyun suddenly thought of Ji Die. She didn’t know if Ji Die had taken this road.
More and more people filled the auction house. In the end, it began to grow crowded, and the entire place was extremely noisy.
As the few of them chatted, a woman slowly walked out from the inner courtyard of the auction house. The woman had a slender waist, swaying with a serpentine grace that released an alluring charm. A form-fitting robe outlined her perfect figure. Beneath the robe, a section of dazzlingly white long legs was visible, making one’s blood boil. Her figure was enchanting and seductive. Her curvaceous lines made one feel the impulse of a nosebleed rushing forth. Her red lips were enticing. She was a woman of captivating sensuality.
