The Second Prince was going through agonizing pain. He felt that his body was being scorched by magma. Crimson cracks started appearing on his skin and were letting out green puffs of smoke. He looked like he was being torrefied.
Not only his skin, but his muscles, bloodline, viscera, and bones had all started exuding black smoke. It was excruciating.
Still, the Second Prince gritted his teeth and endured. He understood that the coldness in his body was being eliminated little by little.
Some of this coldness had already entered his viscera long ago, and the techniques the Second Prince had cultivated did not help. Now, all Qingfeng Li did was send flames into the prince’s body, yet it was enough to eliminate this coldness.
Qingfeng Li’s Golden Flames contained a horrifying temperature of eight thousand degrees. Within an instant, they had expelled all of the coldness in the Second Prince’s body.


They further traveled to the third rib of the Second Prince’s body. It was where the most dense coldness had gathered, having already seeped into his bone marrow. Nonetheless, the coldness was easily removed due to the Golden Flame’s frightening high temperature.
Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and suddenly put forth his right palm to form a force of gravitation. The force extracted all of the Golden Flames from the Second Prince’s body and stored them back into Qingfeng Li’s.
Qingfeng Li had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body, a technique that could allow one’s body to evolve into the immortal level. If Qingfeng Li could master cultivating it, he would be able to suppress hell; naturally, he was able to withstand the extremely high temperatures of saint level flames as well.
The Second Prince was able to withstand the flames for a very short period of time, but definitely not for the long term, as he was already close to being burned to death.
Qingfeng Li smiled lightly as he asked the Second Prince,
How do you feel right now? Try exercising your emperor level technique and see if the third rib still hurts.

The Second Prince nodded his head and started practicing his fire technique at once. When it got to his third rib, he realized the pain was gone, and the exercise went smoothly.
The fire technique continuously flowed inside his body, faintly advancing his strength and directly allowing him to break through to the Eighth Level of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
Excitement was written all over the Second Prince’s face, the enthusiasm causing his face to become bright red. He had been stagnant at the Seventh Level Spirit Emperor Realm for quite a few years, and it was frustrating. Needless to say, the unexpected breakthrough had made him overjoyed.
The Second Prince stood up, picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for Qingfeng Li himself to show his gratitude.
Again, all those in the restaurant were extremely shocked by what they saw. They did not think they would live to see the sight of the Second Prince of the country of Lingyun pouring wine for someone else. They found this scene to be unbelievable.


To show his courtesy, Qingfeng Li accepted the glass of wine and started drinking.
After that, Qingfeng Li sat down with the Second Prince again and had more conversations. He even transferred some of his own vital essence into the Second Prince’s body to help mend his injury.
Moments later, the wounds on the Second Prince’s body had been completely healed. Moreover, he had become even stronger and gave off a fierce atmosphere. Nevertheless, he was still no match for Qingfeng Li.
At this time, the Second Prince seemed to have thought of something as he took out a golden invitation card and handed it to Qingfeng Li.
The invitation card was made of a fine gold color. It was twenty centimeters long and ten centimeters wide. Its build was exquisite, with the design of a cloud etched on the front. The aura of seal scriptures were given off from the cloud.
One look at it and Qingfeng Li could readily tell that it had to be a master of the Supreme Realm who had made this golden invitation card, because the Cloud talisman Scripture was of the Supreme Realm.
Furrowing his brows, Qingfeng Li asked,
What is this, Your Highness?

The Second Prince explained with a small smile,
This is an invitation to the Imperial Capital Auction. The auction will be held one day later at Ji’s. All the influential self-cultivators and royalties in the country will be attending.


The auction will include many powerful cultivation techniques, elixirs, spiritual treasures, talisman scriptures, and other rare items; even bloodlines, spiritual bones, and beauties of various ethnicities can be put up for bids. Of course, you can buy as well.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes were glowing as he asked,
Can information be bought at this auction?



The Second Prince nodded and told Qingfeng Li that, with enough commission, his desired information could be bought.
Qingfeng Li accepted the golden invitation card from the Second Prince at once, and thanked the prince for it. He had to attend this auction and gain information on the whereabouts of Xue Lin and Ruyan Liu before he could set out to look for them.
Thereafter, the Second Prince conversed with Qingfeng Li again for a long time. In the end, he left Qingfeng Li with a token. It was the Second Prince’s identity token and was representative of the prince himself. It authorized Qingfeng Li to behave the way he wanted all throughout the Imperial Capital,;no one would dare to mess with him.

Of course, except for the Emperor himself and the Crown Prince.

At the this time, the black-clad imperial bodyguard had arrived back to the Crown Prince’s Palace. His face was red and swollen, and the dog paw print on his face had not yet faded away.
He had tried to use the vital essence in his body to remove the dog paw print, but to no avail. As it was drawn with Black Puppy’s super power, the print could not be removed for quite some time.
The Crown Prince was sitting safe and secure on his nephrite jade bed when the black-clad imperial bodyguard came in. The Crown Prince asked,
How did it go? Have you brought Qingfeng Li with you?

The black-clad imperial bodyguard shook his head and replied,
Your Highness, Qingfeng Li refused to come and kept insulting Your Highness, calling Your Highness a good-for-nothing. That Black Puppy by his side even assaulted me, leaving a big paw print on my face…

As the black-clad imperial bodyguard bewailed tearfully, he kept emphasizing his misery, making Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy sound like the most vicious beings in the world.
The black-clad imperial bodyguard was extremely enraged by Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy and vowed to take vengeance for himself. Thus, he kept spewing venom at them, hoping to deeply anger the Crown Prince, so that the Crown Prince would give orders to kill those two.


After hearing what the black-clad imperial bodyguard had to say, the Crown Prince’s face had turned ghastly pale. He was livid.
He thought sending out his personal bodyguard to call forth Qingfeng Li was the best courtesy he could offer; therefore, he found Qingfeng Li’s rejection and violence against his personal bodyguard humiliating and outrageous.
The Crown Prince questioned,
San Huang, did you not know to summon the Imperial City Imperial Guards to teach Qingfeng Li a lesson?

The black-clad imperial bodyguard’s face tensed up as he replied loudly,
Your Highness, I did summon the Imperial City Imperial Guards, and we were going to teach Qingfeng Li and that dog an unforgettable lesson.

However, the Second Prince showed up and turned away the Imperial City Imperial Guards. I feel that Qingfeng Li was friends with the Second Prince, which would make him an enemy. Your Highness, we have to eliminate him.

Coldness started to grow in the Crown Prince’s eyes. He had already sentenced Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy to death in his heart and started contemplating against them.
