The trio had finally successfully entered the House of Geniuses and were led to their room by a servant.

　　"It seems that someone is out to get us." Once they were in the room, Luluo's eyebrows knitted together. Someone as sharp as her had naturally realised that there were some problems with Xiao Luo's att.i.tude.

　　Zhou Yuan frowned. It was the first time they had come here, and none of them knew anyone, why were they being targeted?

　　On the way here, the only one they had offended was the Gu clan.

　　Could the Gu clan's hands have reached all the way here?

　　Luluo seemed to be able to read Zhou Yuan thoughts, shaking her head as she said, "The faction behind the House of Geniuses is the city lord residence. I doubt that Gu clan can make them do anything."

　　Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly. The city lord residence? Why was this faction making things difficult for them?

　　The trio thought about this matter for a while, but were unable to arrive at a conclusion. Hence, they could only drop it for the time being.

　　Luluo wrinkled her nose as she said, "No need to be too worried. Although the city lord residence is strong, they do not dare to do as they please. It's not like we don't have any powerful backers."

　　Zhou Yuan nodded.

　　"I'll head out and ask around for some information while also looking up where to buy the Underworld Spirit Fruit and the Blood Vermillion Gra.s.s." Luluo grinned. She was clearly someone who was unable to sit still for long.

　　Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao nodded. The House of Geniuses was a mix of both good and bad characters that they did not intend to mingle with. They would rather stay in the room to train.

　　Thus, Luluo went out alone, but it was not long before she slipped back in again, her face br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement.

　　"There's news!"

　　Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised. That was fast.

　　Luluo eagerly blurted out, "There will be an auction tonight in the House of Geniuses, and both the Underworld Spirit Fruit and Blood Vermillion Fruit have been mentioned. Moreover, the ones gathered here are the various geniuses from all over the Cangmang Continent so any treasure can be put on sale regardless of where they came from. Hence, there's likely going to be quite a few gems."

　　From the looks of it, she was extremely fond of such rare and lively events.

　　Zhou Yuan was also a little thrilled at this news. There was finally information about the Underworld Spirit Fruit and Blood Vermillion Fruit.

　　As long as he could obtain these two Genesis resources, his Spirit would be able to ascend to the advance Illusory stage, allowing him to begin learning grade 3 Genesis Runes. When that happened, he would no longer have to fear advance Heaven Gate stage opponents.

　　The current him was amongst a gathering of geniuses of which several possess the strength of the advance Heaven Gate stage. If Zhou Yuan did not raise his battle power, he would be disadvantaged when he met them in a fight.

　　"Then we'll have a look at the auction tonight." Zhou Yuan decided. The current him needed to the Underworld Spirit Fruit and Vermillion Blood Gra.s.s far too much.

　　Time flowed as night began to envelope the enormous Saint Remains City. The outside of the city was pitch-black darkness, while the inside was brightly lit.
