Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1243 - 551: Treasure Armor Presented

"Good!"

Ning Qi didn’t hesitate and sat down directly.

The attendant saw the situation and hurried away.

After the attendant left, Princess Xiangxiang finally said, "The Spirit Stones here must be very expensive!"

She had just seen Ning Qi give Spirit Stones to the attendant but hadn’t clearly seen how many he gave.

"Not many, only fifty."

Ning Qi glanced at Princess Xiangxiang and said casually.

"So many? That’s enough for my monthly expenses!"

"That’s so extravagant."

Princess Xiangxiang exclaimed in surprise at his words.

"You’re one to talk."

Ning Qi replied in an annoyed tone.

Ordinary people wouldn’t have expenses as high as hers.

Yet she’s calling his spending high here.

"Still, it’s very extravagant."

Princess Xiangxiang stuck out her tongue and then said, "So, I wonder how the auction below will be."

"You’re so familiar with this place, haven’t you ever attended?"

Ning Qi looked at Princess Xiangxiang curiously, unable to resist asking.

"No."

"Some things are hard to explain."

Princess Xiangxiang shook her head, showing a bit of melancholy.

"Now that I’m going back with you, is there anything you need help with?"

Hearing her words, Ning Qi suddenly became interested.

Time to understand her situation.

"I am Princess Xiangxiang of Yue Country."

"My real name is Li Xiangrou."

Li Xiangrou responded only when he asked, "In our Yue Country, an Empress rules."

"I have never been interested in this at all."

"Yet my father insists on pushing me to ascend to the throne, so I ran away from home."

"Recently, he just found me, so I had no choice but to return."

"Because... he... is not doing well."

Talking about this matter brought a shadow of sadness over her.

Her eyes glimmered with tears.

But she held them back without letting them fall.

"I see."

Ning Qi listened to her, spoke in a deep voice, "So, your imperial sister is the one preventing you from returning, right!"

At this point, he understood what was happening.

Someone wants her to return, which means someone definitely doesn’t.

This is easy to understand; otherwise, there wouldn’t be any assassins.

"Yes, my sister Li Fengrou."

Li Xiangrou sighed lightly and continued, "Initially, she deceived me into leaving."

"Now that my father is critically ill, she still won’t let me go back."

"I just want to see my father one last time, but she’s afraid I’m vying for the throne with him!"

"So, what do you intend to do now?"

Ning Qi listened to her words and asked seriously.

"Since they won’t let me live, I’ll be the Empress for a while!"

"Let these villains know my strength!"

Li Xiangrou looked at Ning Qi, "Ning Qi, you can help me, right?"

"I promised to help you, I won’t deceive you!"

Ning Qi smiled and then said, "I’m just understanding the situation to avoid aiding the wicked!"

"Ah? Do I look like a bad person to you?"

Li Xiangrou pointed to herself and asked him.

"Face can be known but not the heart; if I don’t understand you, it’s hard to say!"

Ning Qi spread his hands and smiled.

"What about now?"

Li Xiangrou asked, unable to resist.

"Considered a good person, but still lacking a bit."

Ning Qi half-jokingly said.

"Considered a good person?"

"That means I’m half a good person!"

Li Xiangrou wrinkled her nose, "It seems I don’t have a good impression in your eyes."

"But you’re changing, and that’s enough!"

"I believe you’ll become a great... Empress!"

Ning Qi looked at her, smiling, "So, I’ll help you!"

"Then it’s up to you how to proceed!"

"Understood, thank you, Ning Qi!"

Li Xiangrou listened to his words and relieved herself.

She knew she had brought Ning Qi as an ally.

By doing this, returning would save a lot of trouble.

In the face of absolute strength, everything is void.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Our auction today is about to begin!"

Just at this moment, the auctioneer below spoke up.

The originally noisy hall immediately quieted down.

Many gazes were focused on the auctioneer in the center.

At this moment, beside him, a Brocade Box was already placed.

"Inside here is a thousand-year-old Immortal Grass."

"Consuming it can open your path of cultivation."

"Its starting price is ten million top-grade Spirit Stones."

After introducing, the auctioneer continued, "Each bid increment cannot be less than one million top-grade Spirit Stones!"

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, please!"

"It can open the cultivation path, meaning it allows ordinary people to practice!"

"Yes, and it can also enhance a cultivator’s strength!"

"Then this price isn’t too high!"

"..."

Many people had already started discussing.

Pairs of eyes fixated on the Brocade Box before them.

Unfortunately, many found themselves short of money.

"Eleven million!"

"Thirteen million!"

"..."

Still, some had the financial power.

It wasn’t long before people started bidding.

"Wow, ten million top-grade Spirit Stones..."

"We don’t even dare to dream about this."

"I’m afraid Yue Country couldn’t possibly have such expenses in a month."

Li Xiangrou clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Perhaps you will know when you become Empress!"

Ning Qi smiled and continued, "Your cultivation is too low, let me give you a hand."

"Ah? How will you help me?"

"I’m too silly; I can’t cultivate to your level!"

Li Xiangrou shook her head and said following.

"Eighteen million!"
