Chapter 751: A Heart That Bleeds!
“Whoosh…”
As gazes from all directions locked onto them, subtle shifts in the air marked the surprise of the onlookers. They hadn’t expected anyone else to challenge the Sacred Mountain, especially someone from within the private room.
“Don’t worry, I’m only suggesting a price increase. I have no intention of keeping this item.”
Noticing Xi Wuqing’s puzzled look, Su Yi shook his head. Since it was someone from the Sacred Mountain who wanted it, he figured he’d push the price up a bit. After all, he had no intention of keeping the wooden box. He just wanted to enjoy a little amusement at the Sacred Mountain’s expense.
“100,001 three-star Yuan Stones, going once!”
“100,001 three-star Yuan Stones, going twice!”
“100,001 three-star Yuan Stones, going thrice!”
Soon, the elderly man at the auction podium struck his gavel. The Sacred Mountain box didn’t make another bid.
“What just happened?”
As the gavel’s strike sealed the deal, Su Yi was stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief. The legendary treasures of the Fuyao Sect, a relic from a powerful being eight thousand years ago, and the mysterious wooden box… Su Yi couldn’t wrap his head around it.
He wielded the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, had access to the mysterious space, and possessed the Sacred Tool Terrifying Star Blade. As the master of the Divine Demonic Sect, he also controlled the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse. While the Fuyao Sect’s treasures were legendary, Su Yi had little interest. Moreover, even the Lingbao Pavilion couldn’t open the box, and he had spent 100,001 three-star Yuan Stones—equivalent to ten billion one-star Yuan Stones.
The thought made him nearly collapse. Su Yi had only meant to drive up the price, messing with the Sacred Mountain, but he never expected them to stop bidding.
As the gavel fell, Su Yi glanced at Xi Wuqing, his expression one of confusion, while the elderly man on stage continued speaking about something. Su Yi had already lost interest.
Xi Wuqing’s expression turned serious as he observed.
The auction had concluded, and some attendees were already leaving. Lingbao Pavilion disciples were busily organizing everything.
“Sir, Elder Qin is asking to see you.”
A voice came from outside the private room, belonging to a thin, middle-aged man.
“Alas…”
Su Yi sighed, amused yet feeling helpless. He then considered whether his black card could truly cover such a massive amount, ten billion three-star Yuan Stones. Perhaps Lingbao Pavilion wouldn’t be so generous. If that were the case, he would be in debt, and the auction might be a disaster.
These thoughts lifted Su Yi’s mood. He stood up, ready to leave the private room with Xi Wuqing.
“Whoosh…”
As soon as Su Yi stepped out of the room, he felt several subtle auras fall upon him.
People from surrounding private rooms began emerging. Su Yi scanned the crowd, recognizing several familiar faces. Elder Bing Fu from the Sacred Mountain was nearby, along with Wang Quande and several young disciples, all casting him cold, hostile glares.
“It was him!”
Wang Quande’s face turned ashen. He had suspected someone had stolen the highly coveted Star Cloud Ganoderma and the wooden box from the Sacred Mountain. To his surprise, it was that young man from the Overlord Sect.
Bing Fu and the others wore grim expressions, their eyes filled with coldness. He had come personally to acquire the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the final wooden box from the Fuyao Sect. What he hadn’t expected was to have both snatched away by this unexpected rival. He hadn’t imagined it would be the young boy from the Overlord Sect.
“We’re in big trouble now.”
Xi Wuqing sighed quietly to Su Yi.
“We faced the enemy, and we defended ourselves. The water comes, and we take cover in the earth!”
Su Yi muttered softly, indifferent to the cold stares from the Sacred Mountain. After all, he and the Sacred Mountain were already bitter enemies. He had secured both the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the wooden box. Looking at the cold, disdainful glances from the Sacred Mountain disciples, Su Yi felt a rush of satisfaction.
Following the middle-aged man, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing exited, though Xi Wuqing’s face remained serious, his brow furrowed in deep thought.
“Little one, I’ll see how you get out of this! Did you think you could show off so easily?”
In a room not far away, Liu Xiaohu’s eyes darkened with malice as he watched Su Yi pass. That young boy had no regard for his own safety, daring to steal the coveted Star Cloud Ganoderma from the Sacred Mountain. Even taking the wooden box was a risky move. Truly, he seemed to have no care for his life.
…
A moment later, in the small, charming hall of Lingbao Pavilion, Qin San awaited Su Yi’s arrival.
“Congratulations, Lord, for securing the prized possessions of the Fuyao Sect, including the valuable Star Cloud Ganoderma.”
Upon seeing Su Yi, Qin San approached with a warm, friendly smile.
Su Yi looked around and noticed that only Qin San was present. He greeted him with a slight bow and said, “Elder Qin, to be honest, I don’t have Yuan Stones readily available. I fear my black card might not cover such a large debt.”
“Lord, feel free to call me Qin San, or simply Shopkeeper. And please, don’t worry. With your black card from Lingbao Pavilion, you’re our most esteemed VIP. A few Yuan Stones are no concern. Just remember to settle the amount at any of our branches within the year. The items you won are ready for you in this space bag, Lord.”
As Qin San spoke, he presented a space bag and poured out two items: the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the mysterious wooden box from the auction.
When the Star Cloud Ganoderma appeared, the entire hall shimmered as stars twinkled around it, and a powerful medicinal fragrance filled the air, even leaking from the jade box.
The wooden box looked weathered and ancient, with slight yellowing. It showed no obvious energy fluctuation. Despite its fresh appearance and subtle mysterious patterns, it seemed like an ordinary wooden box.
“Be cautious with the wooden box. It’s sealed and enchanted. Don’t try to open it forcefully, as it could break whatever’s inside. The jade box is similarly sealed to prevent the Stellar Nebula Reishi from escaping. Like the Blood Spiritual Ginseng, this herb is adept at hiding and fleeing. So, when you open it, be careful. The experts at Lingbao Pavilion have ensured it can be stored in a space bag for convenience.”
Qin San explained, gesturing for Su Yi to examine the items.
Su Yi closely examined both the Stellar Spirit Reishi and the wooden box. The Reishi was sealed within the jade box, but Su Yi wasn’t concerned with that at the moment. His attention was on the mysterious wooden box.
Listening to Qin San’s explanation, Su Yi felt like he was about to collapse. The idea that the black card had such a large credit limit was almost too much for him to accept.
Su Yi carefully examined the wooden box. He could tell it was sealed with powerful enchantments, making it seem almost impossible to open.
He had spent ten billion one-star Yuan Stones on this seemingly unopenable wooden box. Su Yi’s heart felt like it was bleeding. Even if it truly contained the legacy of Fuyao Sect’s powerful cultivators, in Su Yi’s mind, it was definitely not worth that price.
“Big brother, take a look.”
Su Yi handed the wooden box to Xi Wuqing. Given its cost, it certainly deserved a thorough inspection.
Xi Wuqing, who had been examining the Star Cloud Ganoderma, took the wooden box from Su Yi. After a moment of inspection, he shook his head. “The sealing enchantments are ancient. It may be very difficult to open.”
