Lin Jichen never expected that the last Earth Grade battle blade would fetch a sky-high price of 150,000 spirit stones.
After the auction ended, Lin Jichen looked at the earnings and exclaimed, "Goodness, a profit of over 1.3 million spirit stones!"@@@@
This was several times more than last time.
Lin Jichen happily thanked Jiang Luoyu before logging off to eat.

A few days passed in a blur.
During these days, Lin Jichen had been searching for the remaining three types of treasures. He had already found one, and today, unexpectedly, someone was selling another at the auction.
With this, he only needed one more, the Nine-Colored Lily.
Once he obtained this treasure, he could break through to the Golden Core Realm.
The Nine-Colored Lily could only be found on the Soul-Reaping Ghost Emperor, who resided in the Howling Ghost Ridge in the eastern part of Huafeng Province.
It would take several days to get there, but Lin Jichen had no complaints and traveled day and night on his sword.
However, tonight, Lin Jichen didn't continue his journey, nor did he log into the game.
Because today was Tang Tang's birthday, and Qin Xiaowei had invited him and Gu Qiuxue to her house for dinner.
Lin Jichen dismantled Tang Tang's gaming pod from Gu Qiuxue's room and carried it upstairs with her before knocking on the door.
"Coming~"
The door was opened by Niu Naitang, who was wearing a beautiful new outfit today—a mini Tang Suit that made her look festive and cute.
"Hello, Brother Lin~ Hello, Sister Gu~"
Seeing Lin Jichen and Gu Qiuxue, Niu Naitang smiled happily.
When she saw the gaming pod at the door, her eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"Is this Tang Tang's gaming pod?" Niu Naitang ran out excitedly, examining the gaming pod she had longed for.
She had wanted to play with her gaming pod so much, but her Auntie wouldn't let her bother Lin Jichen or sleep at his house anymore.
She had to secretly play for an hour or two with her gaming ring before bed every day, which was far from satisfying.
"Yes, how about it? This gaming pod is a birthday gift from your brother. Do you like it?" Lin Jichen asked with a smile.
Niu Naitang nodded her little head vigorously. She didn't just like it; she loved it!
This was her most satisfying birthday gift ever!
"But will Auntie agree..."
Niu Naitang was a bit worried that Qin Xiaowei wouldn't let her play.
Seeing that everything was fine, Lin Jichen said to Tang Tang, "Come on, let your brother help you set up the gaming pod first."
Niu Naitang was overjoyed and led the way with her short legs.
Lin Jichen moved the gaming pod to Tang Tang's room and started setting it up.
After a while, the doorbell rang, and Niu Naitang immediately went to open the door.
"Haha, Little Lin, you're really good at making decisions without asking. Aren't you afraid Sister Xiaowei will blame you for spoiling Tang Tang?"
A woman stood at the door, teasing him with a laugh.
Lin Jichen looked up from his work and saw that it was none other than Ren Lan.
He hadn't seen this Miss Frenzy for almost a month, and seeing her suddenly made Lin Jichen smile involuntarily.
"What brings you out today? Finished with school stuff?"
Ren Lan sighed, "Don't mention it. The new semester just started, and I have a ton of classes. Plus, I'm the student council president, so there's a lot to handle. I want to resign, but my dad won't let me. It's driving me crazy. I even have to organize orientation activities on weekends. I'm busier than the emperor."
Lin Jichen gloated, "Your cultivation must be falling behind now, right?"
"Yeah, I've regressed a bit, but I still squeeze in three hours of gaming before bed every day. It's not too bad. Once the orientation rush is over, I'll be more relaxed."
"Give me a hand here, lift this." Lin Jichen called out.
Ren Lan walked in and lifted the gaming pod with one hand.
Lin Jichen's eyelid twitched. Yep, still the same strong girl.
They chatted while setting up the gaming pod.
"By the way, why didn't you reply to my message that day?" Lin Jichen teased.
Ren Lan rolled her eyes at him, "It's all your fault for making me laugh. I got caught by the lecturer, Old Li, the strict Marxism teacher. You know how he is."
Lin Jichen thought for a moment but couldn't remember. It had been so long since he left university, who could remember the lecturers?
"What happened after he caught you?"
"He asked me if his class was that funny and told me to explain what was so funny."
"What did you say?"
"I casually said he looked funny..."
Pfft, hahaha!
Lin Jichen couldn't help but laugh out loud. Classic Ren Woxing!
