"This is Voice Transmission Jade Pendant. I have arranged for personnel to monitor his every move."

Young Master Qin took the jade pendant with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Okay! Gu Sheng, let's see!"

After that, he sat down again.

Chu Qianxuan Seeing that the storm subsided, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"The next auction is a fifth-grade spiritual grass - Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root!"

There was an uproar in the audience.

"This plant was born in the cold abyss of the far north. Only one plant is found every three hundred years. It has the effect of extending longevity and curing strange diseases."

Chu Qianxuan took out a spiritual grass from Jade Box that was crystal clear and had roots like dragon whiskers.

"The starting price is fifty fourth-grade elixirs!"

Young Master Qin's eyes flashed and he whispered.

"Tie San, I am determined to get this spiritual grass!"

Tie San frowned.

"Young Master, I'm afraid we brought the elixir."

"It doesn't matter."

Young Master Qin sneered.

"I heard that there is an auction of Breakthrough Pill today. If I can get it, I can exchange it with this Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root. My father is about to die, and this thing is suitable for his use."

At this moment, a white-haired old man on the second floor stood up tremblingly.

"Old Li Henian, I am willing to give you one hundred fourth-grade elixirs!"

The whole place was in an uproar again.

This price is already twice the starting price!

Li Henian looked around, his voice hoarse.

"I am an old man who has come to the end of his life. He has traveled thousands of miles to come here just for a chance of survival. I hope all my fellow Daoists will be successful!"

Everyone saw that he looked haggard and his breath was weak. It was obvious that what he said was true. No one raised the price for a while.

Chu Qianxuan was about to drop the hammer when suddenly——

"Two fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill."

The voice came from the fourth floor box, calm but unmistakable.

"What?!"

Li Henian's face changed drastically.

"Breakthrough Pill? Or two?"

Young Master Qin turned his head suddenly and stared at the fourth floor box.

"This voice sounds familiar"

Tie San said in a low voice.

"Young Master, do you know this person?"

Young Master Qin narrowed his eyes.

"I can't remember it at the moment, but I always feel like I've heard it somewhere."

In the corner of the fifth floor, Ling Xiao next to Gu Sheng let out a light sigh.

"Is it Mu Feng?"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"It should be him. I heard that his sister Mu Xi is suffering from a strange disease, so he must be bidding for this Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root for her."

Ling Xiao frowned.

"But the energy of the fifth-grade spiritual grass is so violent that even Heavenly Palace Realm monks need to take it with caution. His sister is only Spirit Stream Realm, how can she bear it?"

"Maybe he has a special method."

Gu Sheng groaned.

"But Li Henian won't give up easily"

Sure enough, Li Henian's face changed several times, and he suddenly took out a jade bottle from his arms.

"One fourth-grade top grade Spirit Prolonging Pill, plus one hundred fourth-grade elixirs!"

"Spirit Prolonging Pill?!"

The whole audience was shocked.

Chu Qianxuan's eyes lit up and his voice raised an octave.

"Fellow Daoist Li offers a fourth-grade top grade Spirit Prolonging Pill plus a hundred fourth-grade elixirs! Is there anything higher?"

"Brother"

Mu Xi gently pulled his sleeves, his voice as thin as a mosquito.

"Forget it, Li Henian's bid is too high."

Mu Feng turned his head and saw his sister's pale cheeks and tearful eyes, and felt heartbroken.

Mu Xi's condition has been going on for three years, and his meridians are shrinking day by day. If he doesn't need Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root to continue his life, he may not be able to survive this winter.

"No!"

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and growled.

"I must get it this time!"

On the booth, Chu Qianxuan was dressed in white and smiling.

"Fellow Daoist Li offered one top-grade fourth-grade Spirit Prolonging Pill plus one hundred fourth-grade elixirs. Is there anything higher?"

There was silence.

This price has far exceeded the market value of Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root. No one is willing to pay such a price for a fourth-grade spiritual grass.

Mu Feng raised his hand suddenly.

"Three fourth-grade Breakthrough Pill!"

"Wow——"

The whole place was in an uproar. Countless shocked looks were directed at Mu Feng in the corner. Even Chu Qianxuan, who had always maintained an elegant smile, looked surprised.

"Three. Breakthrough Pill?"

Chu Qianxuan confirmed.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure?"

Breakthrough Pill, the best among Fourth-grade Elixir, can help monks break through bottlenecks and is extremely valuable. Ordinary monks may not be able to obtain one in their lifetime.

But the young man in plain clothes in front of him actually took out three coins in one go!

Mu Xi's face changed drastically and he grabbed his brother's arm.

"Brother! That's what you used to take the Zixia Holy Land assessment! How could you break through to Golden Core Stage without Breakthrough Pill?"

Mu Feng gently patted the back of his sister's hand.

"Your life is more important than anything else."

In the booth opposite, Li Henian closed the folding fan with a "snap", his face gloomy.

Li Henian stared at Mu Feng, with fire almost coming out of his eyes.

Chu Qianxuan looked around the audience.

"Three Breakthrough Pill once. Twice"

Li Henian stood up suddenly, sat down slumped again, and finally shook his head reluctantly.

"Three times! Deal!"

Chu Qianxuan is the final word.

"Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root belongs to this one."

"Three pieces of fourth grade [Breakthrough Pill], plus one bottle of [Mystic Spirit Liquid]."

Young Master Qin's lazy voice came from the private room on the second floor. He was leaning on the soft couch, playing with a jade slip in his hand, but his eyes glanced at the position of Mu Feng from time to time, with a playful smile on his lips.

Mu Feng's chest heaved violently, and the anger in his eyes almost burst out.

He stood up suddenly, his black robe moved automatically without wind, and his spiritual energy fluctuated faintly.

"Young Master Qin!"

Mu Feng gritted his teeth.

"This spiritual grass is of no use to you, why do you have to go against me?"

Young Master Qin chuckled and slowly put down the jade slip.

"Brother Mu Feng's words are wrong. The one with the highest auction price will get it, so how can you say it right? Is it possible that brother Mu Feng is short of money and can't afford a higher price?"

There was a burst of low laughter in the venue.

Mu Feng's face was ashen. He knew that Young Master Qin was deliberately making things difficult, but for the sake of his sister, he had to endure this tone.

"Four fourth-grade [Breakthrough Pill]!"

Mu Feng almost yelled out the price, and at the same time took out a Jade Box from his arms, and opened it to reveal a fourth elixir that exuded a faint golden light.

There was an uproar in the auction house. The fourth grade [Breakthrough Pill] is a rare treasure in Cultivation World!

"Brother!"

Mu Xi, who was sitting next to Mu Feng, hurriedly pulled his sleeves, his pale face full of anxiety.

"Don't add more, this spiritual grass is not worth the price."

Mu Feng turned to look at his sister, the anger in his eyes instantly turned into tenderness.

Mu Xi's face is paler than in the past few days, and his originally bright eyes have lost their luster. Only occasionally when he coughs will his cheeks appear abnormally flushed.

"Worth it."

Mu Feng said softly, reaching out and stroking her sister's hair.

"As long as it can cure your disease, everything is worth it."

Mu Xi had tears in his eyes.

"But you hit Primordial Realm"

"The realm can be improved, and there is only one sister."

Mu Feng interrupted her with a tone that did not allow for refutation.

In the private room on the second floor, Young Master Qin narrowed his eyes and glanced back and forth at Mu Feng brother and sister.

An old man in gray clothes beside him whispered.

"Master, four fourth-grade [Breakthrough Pill] have far exceeded the value of this spiritual grass, shall we"

Young Master Qin raised his hand to stop the old man from continuing, with a cold smile on his lips.

"Don't worry, let's see again. I want to see how much this brother Mu Feng will pay for his sister."

The auctioneer's voice was so excited that his voice trembled.

"Four fourth-grade coins [Breakthrough Pill]! Is there any higher bid?"

There was silence in the venue, and everyone was shocked by Mu Feng's generosity. Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, the voice of Young Master Qin sounded again.

"Wait a minute."

Mu Feng's heart sank suddenly.

Young Master Qin slowly stood up and looked down at Mu Feng.

"Brother Mu Feng is really brave. But..."

He deliberately drawled his voice.

"I happen to be interested in alchemy recently, and this spiritual grass can be used to practice.

Let's do this, four pieces of fourth grade [Breakthrough Pill], plus ten pieces of High-grade Spirit Stone. "

"Shameless!"

Mu Xi couldn't help but cursed in a low voice, but his brother held his hand down.

Mu Feng's expression was extremely ugly.

He knew that Young Master Qin didn't know how to make alchemy at all, and this was just making things difficult. Four [Breakthrough Pill] were all his savings, plus ten pieces of High-grade Spirit Stone.

"Brother, let's go."

Mu Xi pulled his brother's sleeves, pleading in his voice.

"I'll have to think of other solutions to my illness."

Mu Feng shook his head, with determination in his eyes.

He took out a purple-gold Jade Box from his arms. The moment Jade Box appeared, the aura of the entire auction house was stagnated.

"One of the fifth grade [Purple Lightning Pill]."

Mu Feng's voice was not loud, but it was like thunder exploding in the auction room.

"Earn all your bids."

The whole place was in an uproar!

"Fifth grade elixir?!"

"Oh my god, did I hear that right?"

"What is the origin of this Mu Feng?"

Even the auctioneer, who had always remained calm, widened his eyes and stammered.

"Fellow Daoist Mu Mu Feng, are you sure you are a fifth-grade [Purple Lightning Pill]?"

Mu Feng did not answer and opened Jade Box directly. A purple thunder light shot into the sky and turned into a mini thunder dragon in the air, hovering for a week before slowly dissipating.

The strong fragrance of red dandelion instantly filled the entire auction house, and everyone who heard it was refreshed.

In the private room on the second floor, the smile on Young Master Qin's face solidified.

He stared at the elixir with a purple halo, greed in his eyes.

"Master, this."

The old man in gray clothes was also shocked.

Young Master Qin quickly regained his composure, but the greed in his eyes was even worse.

"Interesting, really interesting. I didn't expect that a little Mu Feng would have such a valuable treasure."

In the auction house, Mu Feng closed Jade Box and looked at Young Master Qin coldly.

"Young Master Qin, do you want to increase the price?"

Young Master Qin burst out laughing, the laughter filled with false appreciation.

"Brother Mu Feng really hides his secrets. Since you value this spiritual grass so much, how can I win people's love? I'll give this spiritual grass to you."

He deliberately emphasized the word "give" when he said it, as if giving alms.

Mu Feng suppressed the anger in his heart. The most important thing now is to get the spiritual grass. The other accounts can be settled slowly.

The auctioneer quickly knocked the gavel.

"Deal! [Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root] belongs to fellow Daoist Mu Feng!"

Mu Feng took a long breath, and his tense body finally relaxed.

He turned to look at his sister and gave a comforting smile.

"Look, I got it."

Mu Xi's eyes were red.

"Brother, that is your hope to hit Primordial Realm"

"Silly girl.

"Mu Feng rubbed his sister's hair.

"You don't know my brother's talent yet? No pill can break through."

Mu Feng walked quickly to the auction table, and the monks around him cast sharp glances.

He could feel that one of the most sinister glances from the second floor lounge was Young Master Qin.

"Foundation Establishment Stage, is he worthy of having a fifth-grade elixir?"

Young Master Qin shook the folding fan with a sneer on his lips.

"Not to mention that Heavenly Longevity Spirit Root."

Mu Feng took the spiritual grass contained in Jade Box, his fingers trembling slightly.

This spiritual grass, which is green all over and has golden veins in its veins, is the treasure that can save my sister's life.

"Thank you."

Mu Feng handed over to the auctioneer. When he turned around, he glanced at the second floor with the corner of his eye, and met Young Master Qin's sinister eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, please stay."

A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Mu Feng's mind, which was a secret message.

Mu Feng paused slightly and recognized that this was the monk in blue shirt who was sitting not far from him just now - Gu Sheng.

"Master Qin Family has set his sights on you brothers and sisters. Do not leave alone after the auction. Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao and I will try to help."

Mu Feng nodded calmly and walked quickly towards Mu Xi.

He had to pretend to be nonchalant, otherwise it would only make Young Master Qin more alert.

"Brother, did you get it?"

Mu Xi eagerly grabbed Mu Feng's sleeves, his eyes full of hope.

Mu Feng showed a long-lost smile and put Jade Box into his sister's hand.

"I got it, your spiritual root is saved."

Mu Xi held Jade Box, tears finally burst out of his eyes.

Her spiritual roots were incomplete since she was a child, and her cultivation level was stagnant at Qi Refining Stage. If her brother hadn't been looking for medicine everywhere these years, she would have died long ago.

"Don't cry, let's talk about it when we get back."

Mu Feng looked around warily and pulled his sister towards the corner.

In the lounge on the second floor, Young Master Qin closed the folding fan with a "snap", with a lustful light in his eyes.

"Zhao Pengzu, Dong Wei."

Two monks dressed in black immediately bowed.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Keep an eye on those siblings, especially that sickly girl."

Young Master Qin licked his lips.

"When the auction is over, I want everything on them, including that woman."

Zhao Pengzu looked troubled.

"Master, private fights are prohibited in the Sky Cloud Pavilion, if the pavilion master knows about it"

"Idiot! Who told you to take action here?"

Young Master Qin kicked Zhao Pengzu in the leg.

"Wait until they leave the range of the Sky Cloud Pavilion before taking action! That boy is nothing more than Mid Foundation Establishment Stage, and my sister is even more useless. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to handle it?"

Dong Wei quickly apologized.

"Don't worry, young master, we will make arrangements right away."

Young Master Qin snorted coldly, and his eyes fell on Mu Xi's slender back.

"Remember, I want that girl to live."

At the same time, Gu Sheng exchanged glances with the white-clothed monk Ling Xiao next to him.

"Qin Family That dude really has bad intentions."

Ling Xiao said through voice transmission, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Do you want to remind the Pavilion Master now?"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

"The master of the pavilion never interferes in the private grievances of his guests. Besides..."

He looked at brother and sister Mu Feng.

"I noticed when that boy was bidding just now that the way his spiritual power operates in his body is very special, unlike ordinary cultivators."

"You mean"

"Let's wait and see what happens. If Qin Family really dares to take action, it won't be too late for us to take action."

The auction continues, but Mu Feng has no intention of paying attention.

He held his sister's hand tightly and felt her cold body temperature, which Array Core hurt.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Xi was keenly aware of his brother's abnormality.

Mu Feng forced a smile.
