After Lianyi sat down, maids immediately brought out dish after dish.

The first thing served was a plate of sliced ​​exotic beast meat, a type of meat Lin Chen had never seen before. The meat had a pale golden texture and was thinly sliced ​​and laid out on an ice plate.

While gesturing for Lin Chen to get started, Lianyi explained, "These are Silver Horned Beasts, found only in the northern part of the Chaotic Domain. They live near the Frost Mine and only a few can be hunted each year."

After speaking, he made a gesture of invitation. Lin Chen did not stand on ceremony, picked up a slice and put it in his mouth. It had a melt-in-your-mouth, fresh and refreshing taste.

The second dish was a bowl of soup. The soup was clear as water, but after entering his mouth, a warm current slid from his throat all the way to his stomach. Lin Chen could feel the warmth slowly spreading through his body, and even his spiritual energy flowed more smoothly than usual.

Seeing his expression, Lianyi smiled and said, "This is a recipe that came from the Li Huo Sect. It's made by brewing several kinds of fire-attribute spiritual plants, and it's somewhat beneficial for cultivation."

The third dish was a plate of black, blocky objects with a smooth surface, resembling some kind of fungus.

It has a strong salty and savory flavor upon first bite, and is very tender and juicy when chewed, making it extremely delicious.

Lianyi said that these are mineral bacteria that only grow deep underground and can only grow in environments without light; they will wither once exposed to light.

Lin Chen had eaten many good things in the Blue Star Universe, but compared to the dishes in front of him, they were from completely different worlds.

Every bite refreshed his understanding of "ingredients." The source and processing methods of the materials alone were beyond what he could have imagined before.

Lianyi then poured him another bottle of wine, but this wine was clearly not an ordinary one: "This is a medicinal wine from the Medicine King Sect, one of the top ten powers. It is said to be brewed by blending thousands of medicinal herbs and is very beneficial for cultivation."

"I raise a glass to Mr. Lin to thank you for your support of the Luofu Chamber of Commerce."

After the two clinked glasses, Lin Chen drank it all in one gulp. Immediately, his body felt hot, and his spiritual energy became incredibly active, circulating even faster.

Lin Chen said with deep gratitude, "Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Lianyi."

Lianyi smiled slightly: "I'm glad Mr. Lin likes it. Your Life Crystals have made my Luofu Merchant Guild a fortune today, so I should be the one saying thank you."

He then poured Lin Chen another full glass of wine: "Let me toast you again."

The banquet lasted for nearly an hour, and both the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves immensely.

The two then went to a side hall, where Lianyi leisurely asked, "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with today's gains?"

Lin Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute, a smile playing on his lips: "Thanks to Miss Lianyi, I am very satisfied."

"Mr. Lin, you're still so polite. Don't you intend to consider me a friend?" Lianyi feigned displeasure. "Your one hundred spirit crystals doubled the total transaction amount of today's auction. I should be the one saying thank you."

Lin Chen shook his head: "Miss Lianyi, you've misunderstood me. It's my honor that you consider me a friend."

"Okay, then we'll be friends from now on." Lianyi was very happy and extended her right hand.

Lin Chen quickly reached out and grasped it. It was very smooth and soft to the touch, but he released it with just a light squeeze.

"Mr. Lin, if you ever obtain another Life Crystal in the future, you must think of me first." Lianyi finally revealed her purpose.

"Of course." Lin Chen would certainly not refuse, as distributing these spirit crystals would greatly benefit him. "I also have something I'd like to ask Miss Lianyi for help with."

Lianyi said with slight displeasure, "Aren't we friends? Why are you still calling me Miss Lianyi?"

"Then I'll just call you Lianyi." Lin Chen decisively changed his address, even though he didn't like such a formal way of addressing him.

Lianyi smiled again: "Tell me, what is it? As a friend, I will never refuse to do anything I can."

"I want to exchange all the source crystals I have for cultivation resources." Lin Chen no longer beat around the bush.

"You're not asking for my help, you're supporting my business!" Lianyi said with a smile. "By the way, what resources do you want?"

"I'll exchange half of the pills and half of the resources for tenth- and eleventh-level cultivation. I'll exchange as many as I can." Lin Chen said without hesitation.

"No problem, give me three days." Lianyi replied without hesitation.

It's just some Tier 10 resources, which are the most common and easy to obtain. It's just that Lin Chen needs a large quantity, so she needs time to source the goods.

Lin Chen was overjoyed: "Alright, then I'll bother you for another three days."

Lianyi waved her hand: "It's nothing, you're welcome to stay here indefinitely."

The two chatted for a while longer before Lin Chen returned to his guest room, while Fang Yao had already gone back with the Fang family.

Her talent has already reached SS level, and after years of accumulation, she is preparing to go back this time to try to break through to the twelfth level.

Fang Yao also left a communication jade slip for Lin Chen, so that he could contact her anytime after he finished dealing with things here.

Lin Chen sat on the bed, took out the bottle of Boundless Divine Liquid, poured out only one drop, and quickly drank and refined it.

Suddenly, a cool energy shot straight to the top of his head, and he could feel that his soul had been sublimated.

The marks of the pursuit that covered his soul had faded somewhat.

It took less than half an hour for the drop of divine liquid to be completely absorbed.

"It really worked!" Lin Chen was overjoyed.

This time he poured out ten drops and swallowed them directly.

Suddenly, his soul swelled up, causing a sharp pain in his head: "Damn, I drank too much."

However, he did not have a method for cultivating the soul, so he could only endure it and wait for the soul to slowly absorb it.

Two full hours passed before the pain slowly subsided. Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned: "With my current soul strength, I can only take a maximum of five drops at a time, and each time it takes at least an hour to digest. This bottle contains one hundred drops, so it will take at least twenty hours..."

"No, absorbing this stuff will tire my soul. Looks like I won't be able to leave the house for the next three days."

For the next three days, Lin Chen stayed indoors, focusing solely on absorbing the Creation Elixir.

This caused trouble for the two men in black who were lying in wait outside. If it weren't for the compass showing that Lin Chen was still in the auction house, the two men would have thought that Lin Chen had already run away.

They are currently lurking in a small hotel not far from the auction house.

"This kid, the auction is over, why are you still lingering here?" The man paced back and forth in front of the woman, looking somewhat impatient. The room rate here was very expensive, and he was feeling a bit of a pinch.

The woman stared at the compass, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper: "The information on the compass is getting weaker and weaker. This kid must be refining the divine liquid to remove the mark."

The man hurried over and, seeing that the shaking of the compass needle was getting weaker and weaker, he became a little anxious and actually called out the woman's code name.

"Di Jiu, what do we do? What if this kid really removes the mark and sneaks away?"

Di Jiu rolled his eyes: "Di Qi, what are you panicking about? Haven't we already recorded this kid's appearance? With our Death Tower's intelligence network, where can he possibly escape to?"

Di Qi scratched his head awkwardly: "Since we're using the intelligence system, we should share some of our rewards with them. I'm a little reluctant to do so."

Di Jiu glared at him irritably and ignored him.

The two men were staring at Lin Chen, and so was Hu Tianhai of the Wanfa Sect.
