My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 448 Taking it easy, entering the qualification

Chu Lengyu began to carefully examine the list of auction items handed over by Manager Tang.

The catalog lists the names of various auction items, along with brief descriptions.

There are rare, millennia-old spiritual herbs, mysterious magical treasures, powerful spells, top-grade pills, rare spirit beasts, high-level spiritual veins, and so on. Each item is extremely valuable and dazzling.

Chu Lengyu's gaze swept over each of the auction items, and she secretly admired them in her heart.

Her divine sense lingered on the cultivation techniques auction items for a moment, and sure enough, she saw several sword technique manuals. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she silently memorized them. If she could acquire them, she would definitely be able to apply them to other areas and improve her sword skills to a higher level.

However, thinking about the cultivation of the Glazed Fire, Chu Lengyu frowned slightly again.

In order to collect the strange fire, she had to be careful. If she bid at an auction, it would be too ostentatious and easily attract the attention of others.

As for the Star-Locking Net, a spatial magic treasure, it did not appear in this auction catalog. Although Chu Lengyu felt regretful, she could not ask about it rashly. She could only make a note of it and wait for a suitable opportunity to make a plan.

These items will undoubtedly attract fierce bidding from many cultivators at the auction, but if one can learn about these items in advance, one can better formulate bidding strategies and strive to win the treasures one desires at the best price.

Tang's gesture of goodwill was undoubtedly perfectly timed, demonstrating his sincerity and providing great convenience for Chu Lengyu.

……

The vermilion building, with its carved beams and painted rafters, is magnificent and imposing, while outside, it is bustling with activity and lively sounds.

At this moment, Yu Yi of the Hundred Swords Pavilion and Gao Rui, a disciple of the Thousand Mist Sect, were pacing anxiously outside the vermilion building like ants on a hot pan, their eyes filled with urgency.

Several years ago, Yu Yi and Gao Rui met by chance during an adventure. They shared similar interests and made a pact to explore a legendary secret realm together.

That secret realm holds an incredible opportunity that can greatly enhance one's cultivation, but to enter it, one needs a pill called the Five Elements Pill to resist the strange gales and poisonous miasma within.

Yu Yi and Gao Rui went to great lengths to obtain the Five Elements Pill, searching for it secretly for many years, but they were never able to get their hands on it.

Upon hearing that the Five Elements Pill was being sold on Jingu Island, the two were overjoyed and rushed over, hoping to obtain the pill and fulfill their wish.

However, when they arrived at the Zhu Lou with high expectations, they were ruthlessly told that they were not qualified to enter.

The news came like a bolt from the blue, but the gatekeeper was powerful, and the two could only accept reality helplessly.

At this moment, Yu Yi was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.

He would occasionally look up at the towering red building that seemed to reach into the clouds, his eyes filled with helplessness.

In his eyes, that vermilion building seemed like a fairyland that was both desirable and unattainable, something he longed for but was powerless to reach.

Gao Rui paced back and forth, his brow furrowed and his face filled with anxiety.

He was racking his brains, trying to come up with a way to get the two out of their predicament, but as time ticked by, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

He had originally assured Yu Yi that by contacting other disciples he knew in the Thousand Mist Sect, he could definitely find someone to take them in or buy the items on their behalf.

As a result, his fellow disciples rejected him one by one, claiming that apart from someone like the little princess of the Wei family, no one could freely enter and leave the Zhu Lou, let alone bring others with them.

A bitter expression appeared on Gao Rui's face, and he secretly felt annoyed.

Yu Yi and Gao Rui looked at each other, seeing the same helplessness and anxiety in each other's eyes.

They were unwilling to give up, but couldn't think of any good solutions.

The surrounding cultivators came and went in a hurry, but none of them could help them out of their predicament.

Just as Yu Yi and Gao Rui were frowning and almost in despair, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the Zhu Building.

The woman, dressed in the robes of a Hundred Swords Pavilion disciple and escorted out of the vermilion tower by a lady in a purple dress, was none other than Chu Lengyu's Foundation Establishment incarnation.

Gao Rui, with his sharp eyes, immediately recognized the clothes she was wearing, and a glimmer of hope lit up in his heart.

There was really no other way, so we decided to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

He hurriedly grabbed Yu Yi and whispered urgently, "Look, a junior sister from the Hundred Swords Pavilion has come out! Go up and ask her if she can help us get into the Vermilion Tower."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yi could only manage a wry smile, feeling utterly helpless.

He thought to himself: She's just an ordinary disciple. She probably only got into this tower by luck, winning three matches on the arena. How could I possibly expect her to help me get into the tower?

However, seeing Gao Rui's eager and expectant eyes, he still agreed, bracing himself and mustering his courage to walk towards Chu Lengyu.

When Chu Lengyu saw Yu Yi approaching, she already guessed his purpose. He must have come for the third-tier Five Elements Pill. To her, it was just a trivial matter, and she might as well lend him a hand.

So she said to the lady in the purple dress beside her, "Make an exception and let them in."

Gao Rui was taken aback, then a disdainful smile appeared on his face. He thought to himself, "A mere disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion dares to speak so arrogantly in front of the Myriad Stars Alliance. Does she think she can let the two of us into the building with just a word? Hmph, how laughable. Who does she think she is?"

He muttered to himself: "These disciples of the Hundred Swords Pavilion must have gotten carried away after finally getting into the Vermilion Tower, and now they're deliberately trying to show off in front of others."

Yu Yi also looked embarrassed.

He shook his head helplessly and said to Chu Lengyu, "Nephew, don't try to be brave here. Let's think of another way and not waste any more time here."

He thought to himself: This Zhulou is a key location of the Myriad Star Alliance. How could a Foundation Establishment cultivator like her enter and exit at will? Her words are probably just a pretense of prestige.

However, the lady in the purple dress glanced at the two of them briefly, then nodded and said, "Since Miss Chu has spoken, I will make an exception this time. You two, please come in with me."

Upon hearing this, Gao Rui and Yu Yi were instantly stunned, as if they had been frozen in place, their hearts filled with disbelief.

Gao Rui was utterly astonished. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to begin.

He could only stare blankly at the lady in the purple dress, thinking in astonishment: This maid actually obeys her orders? Just who is this disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion, that she has such great influence?

Yu Yi also looked incredulous.

She said she could let them in, but can she really do that?!
