Chapter 751: A Heart That Bleeds!
"Whoosh…"
As the Sacred Mountain, gazes from all directions fell upon them. The subtle fluctuations in the air signaled the surprise of those watching, as they had not expected another person to challenge the Sacred Mountain, especially someone from within the private room.
"Don’t worry, I’m just suggesting a price increase, I have no intention of taking this item."
Seeing the bewildered gaze of Xi Wuqing, Su Yi shook his head. Since it was someone from the Sacred Mountain who wanted it, he might as well mention a price increase. After all, he had no intention of keeping that wooden box himself. As long as he felt happy about it, he didn’t mind the Sacred Mountain spilling some more blood.
"100,001 three-star Yuan Stones at once!"
"100,001 three-star Yuan Stones for the second time!"
"100,001 three-star Yuan Stones for the third time!"
Soon, the elderly man on the auction stage hammered down, inside the box of the Sacred Mountain, there was no intention of bidding again.
"What’s going on?"
As the sound of the hammer hitting the auction stage echoed, sealing the deal, Su Yi was dumbfounded. His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing. The Fuyao Sect of Youzhou, the legendary treasure of a powerful being from eight thousand years ago, even a lifelong legacy, and a mysterious wooden box… Su Yi couldn’t fathom any of it.
He possessed the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, the mysterious space, the Sacred Tool Terrifying Star Blade, and he was also the master of the Divine Demonic Sect. He possessed the Divine Demonic Ancient Verse. Although the Fuyao Sect was as formidable as the Sacred Mountain, and its treasures left behind by powerful individuals were extraordinary, Su Yi was genuinely not very interested. Besides, even the people from the Lingbao Pavilion couldn’t open that wooden box, and he had spent one hundred thousand and one three-star Yuan Stones, equivalent to ten billion one-star Yuan Stones.
The thought made Su Yi almost collapse. He never intended to actually get that wooden box; he only wanted to raise the price and mess with the Sacred Mountain. Little did he know, the Sacred Mountain surprisingly didn’t bid any higher.
As the hammer struck, Su Yi couldn’t help but glance at Xi Wuqing. His gaze was filled with confusion, while the elderly man on the auction stage continued to speak about something. Su Yi had lost interest in listening.
Gazing at Su Yi, Xi Wuqing’s expression grew solemn.
The auction had concluded, some individuals had already left, and disciples from Lingbao Pavilion were diligently organizing everything in an orderly manner.
"Adult, Elder Qin is requesting your presence."
Outside the private room, a voice could be heard. It belonged to a thin, middle-aged man.
"Alas…"
Su Yi sighed, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness. But then he had a change of thought. Could his black card really be able to cover such a tremendous amount as ten billion three-star Yuan Stones? Perhaps the Ling Bao Pavilion wouldn’t have such a generous heart. In that case, he would likely end up in debt and the auction would be a failure.
With these thoughts in mind, Su Yi’s mood gradually improved. He stood up and left the private room together with Xi Wuqing.
"Whizz…"
Just as Su Yi had left the private room, he immediately sensed several subtle auras falling upon him.
From the surrounding private rooms, people began to emerge one after another. As Su Yi glanced around, he caught sight of several familiar figures. Next door was Elder Bing Fu from Sacred Mountain, along with Wang Quande and several other young disciples. There were several unfriendly gazes cast his way, carrying a chilling intent.
"It was actually that young boy!"
Wang Quande’s face immediately turned dark and cold. He had thought that someone had stolen the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the wooden box, which were highly sought after by Sacred Mountain. To his surprise, it was actually that young boy from the Overlord Sect.
Bing Fu and the others wore unhappy expressions, with coldness in their eyes. He personally came this time, seeking the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the final wooden box from the Fuyao Sect. He had believed it was a sure thing, but to his surprise, they were all snatched away by the neighbors. What’s more, he never expected that it was that young boy from the Overlord Sect.
"We are in big trouble this time."
Xi Wuqing sighed and whispered to Su Yi.
"The enemy came, but we defended ourselves. The water came, and we hid in the earth!"
Su Yi spoke softly, paying no mind to the unfriendliness of the Sacred Mountain. After all, he and the Sacred Mountain were already bitter enemies. He had successfully obtained both the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the wooden box for himself. As he looked at the cold, disdainful gazes from the Sacred Mountain, Su Yi suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction welling up inside him.
Following the slender middle-aged man, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing departed. However, a solemn expression remained on Xi Wuqing’s face, with furrowed brows indicating deep concern.
"Little one, this time I’ll see how you die! Did you really think it would be so easy to show off?"
In a room not far away, watching Su Yi walk past the doorway, Liu Xiaohu’s eyes filled with coldness. That young boy had no regard for his own safety, daring to snatch the highly coveted Star Cloud Ganoderma from the Sacred Mountain. And even daring to take the wooden box, which was clearly a risky endeavor. Truly, he had no regard for his own life.
…
After a brief moment, inside the small hall of Lingbao Pavilion, with its charming ancient atmosphere, Qin San was already waiting.
"Congratulations, Lord, for collecting the belongings left by the powerful members of the Fuyao Sect, including the precious Star Cloud Ganoderma."
Upon seeing Su Yi, Qin San immediately approached with a smile on his face, exuding a warm and friendly demeanor.
Su Yi looked around, noticing that this time there was only Qin San alone. He promptly greeted him with a slight bow and a smile, saying, "Elder Qin, to be honest, I don’t have any Yuan Stones readily available. I’m afraid this black card might not be able to cover such a large debt, right?"
"Lord, you can call me Qin San, or simply Shopkeeper. And, pardon the joke, but with the black card from our Lingbao Pavilion, you are considered our most precious VIP. These few Yuan Stones are nothing to worry about. Just remember to send them to any branch of our Lingbao Pavilion within a year. The items you bid for have already been prepared for you in this space bag, Lord."
As the words fell, Qin San held a space bag in his hand, and promptly poured out two items, which were none other than the Star Cloud Ganoderma and the mysterious wooden box that were just auctioned on the stage.
As the Star Cloud Ganoderma appeared, the entire hall suddenly dazzled, with stars twinkling. A strong medicinal fragrance filled the air, even spreading through the jade box.
The wooden box appeared weathered and ancient, with some yellowing, and it emitted no discernible energy fluctuations. Apart from the fresh appearance and subtle mysterious patterns, it had no noticeable differences from an ordinary wooden box.
"On the wooden box, there is a seal and prohibition, don’t forcefully open it, otherwise it may break the things inside. The jade box also has a seal and prohibition, to prevent the Stellar Nebula Reishi from escaping. This item, like the Blood Spiritual Ginseng, is extremely good at hiding and fleeing. When the adult opens it, they must be careful. This jade box has also been arranged with special means by the experts of Lingbao Pavilion, it can be stored in a space bag. This way, it will be much more convenient for the adult to carry."
Qin San spoke up, gesturing for Su Yi to inspect the two items being auctioned.
Su Yi closely examined the Stellar Spirit Reishi and the mysterious wooden box. The Stellar Spirit Reishi was sealed and hidden within the jade box, but Su Yi paid it no mind. At this moment, Su Yi’s focus was on the enigmatic wooden box.
Listening to Qin San’s words, Su Yi felt like he was about to collapse. He couldn’t believe that the black card could actually have such a large credit limit.
Su Yi, roughly holding the wooden box, inspected it and discovered that it had indeed been sealed with enchantments. It appeared to be quite difficult to open.
Ten billion one-star Yuan Stones were spent on this unopenable wooden box, Su Yi’s heart was bleeding, even if it truly contained the inheritance of the powerful cultivators from Fuyao Sect, in Su Yi’s heart, it was definitely not worth that price.
"Big brother, take a look."
Su Yi handed the wooden box to Xi Wuqing. Such an expensive wooden box, at the very least, needed a thorough inspection.
Xi Wuqing was continuously inspecting the Star Cloud Ganoderma. Upon hearing this, he took Su Yi’s wooden box and examined it for a while. He shook his head and said, "The sealing restrictions have been in place for a long time, it may be difficult to open."
