A conversation with Yao Lao
The Blood Sect's young master, Fan Ling, and Elder Qing of the Heavenly Snake Mansion exchanged fiery glances in the air. It seemed that the final, most mysterious auction item would inevitably fall into the hands of one of their families!
Fan Ling gave Elder Qing a cold glance and said, "The Heavenly Snake Mansion's influence in the Black Corner Region isn't very strong. Even if you manage to take it by chance in the end, you probably won't be able to produce the entire Black Corner Region. Why don't you just withdraw now to avoid damaging our relationship?"
Elder Qing, who had been curled up, sat up slightly. A hint of killing intent flashed in his pale blue eyes as he said coldly, "What? Does the young sect master of the Blood Sect have doubts about his own strength and is now threatening our Heavenly Snake Mansion?"
"Threat? I wouldn't dare, I was just offering kind advice!" Fan Ling said with a forced smile.
Elder Qing chuckled and said, "What a coincidence! The Heavenly Snake Mansion is least afraid of threats. Young Sect Master Fan Ling, you'd better prepare more money, otherwise you won't be able to win this last item!"
Just as the two were locked in combat, the middle-aged man from the Black Skull Tomb got up and left, presumably to pay for the Dou Technique and leave.
However, they didn't have time to deal with the Black Skull Tomb at the moment. The auctioneer, whose face was flushed, suddenly became serious and clapped his hands. A series of clicking sounds came from the edge of the crystal platform, and a circle of black metal bars slowly rose up, revealing an iron ring resembling a prison cell before everyone's eyes.
"Hehe, everyone, please don't mind. These are just some small measures we've taken to ensure the safety of the auction items!" The auctioneer seemed to glance meaningfully at the Blood Sect, Heavenly Snake Mansion, and other forces below the stage.
At the same time, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, because their Soul Power sensed a lot of hidden information rising up around them. And somewhere on the second floor, there was a faint aura of a Dou Emperor, which should be the sect master of the Eight Fan Sect!
The auctioneer was carefully bending down to take out a half-foot-sized purple-gold plate from the cabinet below, on which was a small, palm-sized jade box.
The small jade box was shrouded in a faint white mist, indicating it was made of the finest jade. The contents of the box must have been precious medicinal pills to be preserved in such a box.
Xiao Yu knew that the small box contained Seventh-grade Pill, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill!
With trembling hands, the auctioneer slowly placed the gold plate on the stage and carefully lifted the lid. Instantly, a burst of golden light shot out.
The sudden golden light caused the audience to squint. Through the black robe, Xiao Yu could see that there was a golden pill the size of a dragon's eye in the box, with two small golden dragons coiled around it. The faint dragon roars spread slowly through the vibrations in the air, and a dragon's might swept over them.
The condensation of spiritual energy is a phenomenon unique to Seventh-grade and higher-level pills!
Xiao Yan stared with his mouth slightly agape at the awe-inspiring pills on the stage. Seventh-grade Pill —even he had only heard of them, never seen them before. Today's auction was definitely the most high-level auction in the Black Corner Region in recent years!
Just then, Xiao Yan heard Yao Lao's low murmur, "That is, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill?" His words were filled with extreme gloom and rage.
However, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the voice, then exclaimed with great joy, "Teacher, you're awake?"
Originally, after Yao Lao used Xiao Yan's body to fight the Wu Ying on Misty Cloud Mountain, he fell into a deep sleep after consuming the Seven Illusory Azure Spirit Saliva due to the huge consumption of his Soul Power. Unexpectedly, Yao Lao has now woken up!
After his initial joy, Xiao Yan noticed the gloom and rage in Yao Lao's voice, and cautiously asked in his mind, "Teacher, what's wrong?"
After a moment of silence, the Yao Lao said, "I'll tell you after you return to the academy!"
Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback, but simply nodded and said, "Okay!"
Immediately Yao Lao fell silent. However, Xiao Yu Xiao Yu felt a vast Soul Power enveloping him. Cai Lin frowned slightly, also sensing this Soul Power, and looked coldly in Xiao Yu's direction.
Xiao Yu quickly stopped Cai Lin, signaling her not to act rashly. Then, his Soul Power began to connect with Yao Lao's Soul Power, and an aged voice reached Xiao Yu's ears, saying, "Little one, don't panic. I mean you no harm. I am Xiao Yan's teacher. You can call me Yao Lao!"
Xiao Yu hadn't expected that Yao Lao would come looking for him. He knew that Yao Lao had fallen into a deep sleep while he was at the Misty Cloud Sect, but he didn't expect that he would wake up now and come directly to him!
"Yao Lao, what brings you here?" Xiao Yu asked with a faint smile.
The Yao Lao got straight to the point. "I saw you using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame at the Misty Cloud Sect before. To be honest, this Heavenly Flames has been with me for many years. I'd like to ask, where did you find this Bone Spirit Cold Flame?"
Xiao Yu suddenly realized that the person wanted to ask about the origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Xiao Yu then said, "This Heavenly Flames was found in a crevice in a cliff behind my Xiao Clan's mountain. It's a place that's cold and gloomy all year round. I accidentally wandered into that place once and unexpectedly encountered this flame. In the end, I never expected that this Heavenly Flames would directly enter my dantian and has never left me since!"
The Yao Lao exclaimed in astonishment, "You subdued it just like that? How is that possible? Could there really be a chosen one? No wonder I sensed a familiar aura about you when I was at the Xiao Clan; it turns out it was the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"
Xiao Yu asked softly, "Is Yao Lao going to take back this Heavenly Flames?"
The Yao Lao shook his head slightly and said, "No, no matter what, this Heavenly Flames has already recognized you as its master. Forcibly separating it will only affect your foundation. Since you and this Bone Spirit Cold Flame have such a strong affinity, treat it well. After all, this Heavenly Flames has been with me for many years!"
Xiao Yu nodded without speaking. After a few sighs, Yao Lao's Soul Power receded back into Xiao Yan's ring like a tide. Xiao Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief. The origin of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame was finally cleared up; otherwise, it would have been difficult to explain!
Cai Lin looked at Xiao Yu nonchalantly and explained, "I just felt threatened, not because I wanted to help you!"
"I know!" Xiao Yu said calmly.
"You!" Cai Lin's expression changed abruptly. She glanced coldly at Xiao Yu and then looked away.
In the auction house, because the owner of the auctioned item had a condition that he needed to do two things for him, in the end only the Heavenly Snake Mansion and the Blood Sect remained as buyers, and the price of the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill directly reached a high price of eight million!
Xiao Yu knew that the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill would ultimately belong to the Heavenly Snake Mansion, so he said to Xiao Yan, "Third Brother, let's go, there's going to be a good show soon!"
Xiao Yan realized that this Seventh-grade Pill had nothing to do with him anymore, so he got up and walked outside.
As the two walked out of the auction house, a figure hidden in the shadows at a nearby street corner trembled slightly. Xiao Yu chuckled and whispered, "Looks like Thousand Medicine Pavilion is really courting death. Let's teach them a lesson Thousand Medicine Pavilion!"
A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he nodded secretly, "Alright!"
