After leaving Chen Huahua’s house, Chu Qing did not take a taxi. Instead, he ran straight home. This level of exercise was as simple as warming up for him.

When he arrived downstairs, he tiptoed up the stairs and entered the room.

Fortunately, the door had not been moved. It seemed that no one had realized that he had not been home the entire night.

Chu Qing did not even change his clothes. He pretended to have just woken up, pushing the door open and walking out of his room. The fragrance of cooking came from outside again.

“Why are you up so early today?”

When his father saw that Chu Qing had actually gotten out of bed by himself, he could not help but be a little surprised.

“I slept a lot yesterday.”

Chu Qing lied calmly, his face neither red nor pale.

“By the way, Chu Qing, tonight… You can eat out. I won’t be cooking dinner.”

“Huh? Why?”

Chu Qing was a little surprised. His father was a full-time cook now. He usually didn’t leave the house. Why was he suddenly going out?

“Yes, I have something to deal with. We won’t be coming home tonight.”

His father’s expression was a little gloomy, but there was an unconcealable disappointment in his eyes.

What’s going on?

Chu Qing sensed his father’s abnormality. Could something have happened between him and his mother? Could they have quarreled?

At this moment, his mother pushed open the door and walked out. Chu Qing confirmed what he was thinking. Usually, his mother would only get up at eight or nine o’clock to go to the company. Why was she up at six today?

Chu Qing was a little distracted. After eating a simple bowl of porridge, he left the table and returned to his room.

“I’m full. You guys eat first.”

“This child, why don’t you eat more? Do you have enough money to spend?”

His mother asked.

“Yes, I have. I’ll head back to sleep a little longer.”

Chu Qing closed the door and sat on the bed. Then, he held his breath.

Any minute sound outside the door would enter his ears.

“Sigh…”

His father let out a long sigh.

“What are you going to tell him?”

“I don’t know either. I’ve let this child down. I’ve let you down too,” his mother said.

“Forget it. We’ll talk about this when the time comes. I still can’t accept your family’s arrangements.”

“After so many years, if I could accept it, why would I bring you here?”

His mother sighed too.

“My family will be here in a few days. As for now, I’ll delay it for as long as I can.”

Family?

Chu Qing, who was eavesdropping, had an ugly expression on his face. Although there were still many things that he did not understand, Chu Qing understood the general situation!

Her mother had a family, and she was very unhappy with her family back then, so she brought her father to Jinmen City. But now, her family was coming to look for her.

It seemed like he was involved in this matter as well.

Chu Qing smiled evilly. If it involved him, it would be much easier. If it involved his father and mother, the problem would be more complicated.

At that time, he would deal with whatever came his way.

Chu Qing didn’t care much about this.

After confirming that they didn’t talk anymore, Chu Qing left the house. Since he didn’t have to go home tonight, he could do a lot of things.

He still had to make a trip to the Ye family. In addition, he had to go to the auction house.

In school, Chu Qing began to study what he would need for the auction in two days. He kept condensing his spiritual energy into a ball, then scattering it before condensing it again.

What he wanted to make was called a Spirit Stone.

When cultivating on the continent, Spirit Stones were simply an ordinary thing. They had always been commonly used on the continent. Spirit Stones could be obtained through mining spirit vein mines. There was even a chance of mining top-grade Spirit Stones. The price of top-grade Spirit Stones was not cheap, but the effect was also shocking. It could increase the cultivation speed.

As for the other way to obtain Spirit Stones, it was that cultivators could condense them!

However, this method was a little time-consuming. Only some lower-level martial artists would obtain some remuneration by condensing Spirit Stones and selling them. As for the true upper-level martial artists, they would directly use Spirit Stones to increase their cultivation speed.

In addition, Spirit Stones could also be used to activate arrays or drive flying ships. It could be said that Spirit Stones were the basic components that supported the operations of the fantasy continent.

What would happen if Spirit Stones appeared in this world?

Chu Qing smiled. There was probably no way to extract Spirit Stones in this world.

While he was thinking, a diamond-shaped crystal that flickered with golden light had already appeared between Chu Qing’s fingers. It was crystal clear like amber and emitted a charming light.

Only Chu Qing knew how powerful this was. Although this was a low-level Spirit Stone made by him, the effect was already shocking enough. He believed that this thing would definitely cause a huge commotion at the auction!

At that time, wouldn’t the money come like flowing water?

Chu Qing absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth while making Spirit Stones. In just a short while, he had five more Spirit Stones in his hand. This was enough. He knew about hunger marketing.

And something called a monopoly.

The minimum estimate was that this Spirit Stone should be at least 100,000 yuan per piece. As a consumable, 100,000 yuan was already very expensive. It could be said to be an astronomical price.
