Chapter 71: Chapter 70 The Effects of The Spirit Cleansing Fruit

The Effects of The Spirit Cleansing Fruit

What a Spirit Cleansing Fruit did was heal the spirit of any foreign malicious intents. Originally it was used for people who had been afflicted with a slave seal that was branded on the soul or if Demonic Qi infected someone's soul.

Because instead of Spiritual Qi, the Spirit Cleansing fruit contained Soul Qi. And to any cultivator under the Xiantian Great Realm, Soul Qi wouldn't do anything. As Soul Qi was meant for cultivating the soul, cultivators in the Houtian Great Realm couldn't even sense their soul, let alone cultivate it.

However, over the years, cultivators realized that eating a Spirit Cleansing Fruit greatly aids in the process of sensing the soul. As when the Natural Treasure was consumed, you would feel a gust of pure Soul Qi that cleansed your soul.

And if the consumer's Spiritual Sense were sharp enough, they would be able to feel where their soul was hidden from where the Soul Qi circulated to.

That was the reason why Li Mei and Huang Wei were bidding for the fruit even though their cultivation had just reached the Qi Sea Realm. They had already cultivated their Spiritual Sense and would be able to pinpoint the location of their soul after eating the Spirit Cleansing Fruit with it.

However, after Luo Kun and Feng Wei jumped into the bid, both Li Mei and Huang Wei were forced to give up. Neither of the two was a figure they could provoke. And even if they could, both of the heirs only had 3000 Spirit Stones left, and neither Li Kun nor Feng Wei planned to stop raising the price.

And soon enough, the price managed to reach 4300 Spirit Stones, setting a Golden Hall Auction House record.

"Feng Wei, you sword maniac! I don't believe you have more money than me! 4500 Spirit Stones. If you can bid any higher, then it's yours." Luo Kun shouted as he grew closer and closer to his limit.

Sword Cultivators from the Soaring Sword Sect were known for being blindly addicted to the pursuit of the peak of swordsmanship and were full of disdain for worldly items. Feng Wei himself was no exception. And with the price getting so high, Luo Kun threw all of his cards on the table and bid his limit, hoping that Feng Wei didn't have more.

And luckily, he guessed right. Feng Wei's limit was a little higher than his previous bid at 4400. But now, after Luo Kun raised it so much, Feng Wei was forced to give up on the Spirit Cleansing Fruit.

Luo Kun, seeing his rival, didn't raise the bid even after almost a minute, knew that Feng Wei had finally given up on the Spirit Cleansing Fruit.

"Hahaha! Beauty Ling, It seems that I have won this Spirit Cleansing Fruit! Hurry and announce my win." Luo Kun shouted as he opened his window.

Though Ling Yun was disgusted at being hit on so openly and arrogantly, she still had to do her job. Adding on the fact that Luo Kun had a large backing like the Wushen Academy behind him, Ling Yun couldn't coldly reject him in front of so many people.

So gritting her and putting on an awkward smile, she went to pick up her gavel, but just as she was going to slam it on the pedestal, another voice entered the bidding.

"5000 Spirit Stones!" Xiao'er yelled excitedly.

Once again, Xue Bai had given her consent to spend as much money as she wanted. And instead of simply betting ten more to win, Xiao'er wanted to make the number a nice and clean 5000 and upped the bid by another 500 Spirit Stones.

Seeing salvation appear in front of her, Ling Yun didn't waste a second and announced, "Another Noble Guest in the VIP Booth has bid! Does anyone else have a higher bid!"

Seeing that his momentum had been stolen and he lost his chance to hit on the stunning Ling Yun, Luo Kun was enraged. Sticking his head out the window, he looked in the direction of Xue Bai's booth and yelled.

"Whichever blind dog is in that booth, do you not know who I am?! I am Luo Kun, the top Disciple of Wushen Academy! I have ranked first on the Heaven Ranking List! Do you know what happens to people who dare to offend me?!" Luo Ken yelled as he pointed at Xue Bai's booth.

However, Xiao'er and Xue Bai were both unphased. Though Luo Kun could suppress Huang Wei and Li Mei with his status, Xue Bai had nothing to fear. Both of his parents were as strong as the Wushen Academy's Dean, while his father had more than a dozen Law Manifestation Realm commanders under him.

While Wushen Academy was known as one of the Four Great Sects and had a sect in the Central Continent backing it, Luo Kun would never be able to mobilize the entire strength of the Academy for a petty grudge.

At best, he would be able to get his brother, a Law Enforcement Elder, to help him. But his older brother would at most be in the Law Engraving Realm, possibly the Law Manifestation Realm. And such meager strength wouldn't even be able to break into the Dukedom's Inner Region, let alone the Core Region where Xue Bai spent most of his days.

However, if  Xue Bai wanted to get Luo Kun killed, he could tell his father, and it would be done by sunset.

That was the power of having a strong backing. If it were someone like Huo Long, a teen full of potential but lacking a powerful backing, he would either have to hide his identity while bidding or kill Luo Kun discreetly before he would return to Wushen Academy. But the former was difficult to achieve, while the latter would most likely still be linked to Huo Long, leading to a Continent-wide manhunt.

Xiao'er also knew this and didn't flinch at Luo Kun's threat but instead looked over at Ling Yun and spoke calmly, "Is this how Golden Hall Auction House treats its VIP members?"

At first, Ling Yun wanted to help out Xue Bai, but after remembering Luo Kun's backing, she held back and planned to wait until Luo Kun's anger dissipated before becoming a third party to calm the situation down. But after hearing Xiao'er sound unphased and almost apathetic to Luo Kun's threat, Ling Yun was scared.

'Luo Kun, though still weak, is surely one of the most well-known prodigies in the Southern Continent. Which backing do those girls have that can make them so calm under his threat?'

Yes, Ling Yun, unlike the crowd, knew who was in each booth and VIP booth, but as an experienced host, she kept it to herself. And after some guesswork and digging, Ling Yun and Golden Hall Auction House found out each of the people in the booths. Except for Xue Bai's. The only thing they managed to gather was that they came into Snowy Wind City in a carriage driven by Commander Zhang.

Which even by itself was something shocking. Commander Zhang, though the third weakest of the commanders under Xue Feng, was still a full-fledged Law Manifestation Realm Cultivator. A powerhouse on that level was someone that Luo Kun's older brother wouldn't even look in the eyes. But Commander Zhang was only able to drive the carriage of those girls.

'Who are you two?' Ling Yun thought as she tried to guess. But the words of Xiao'er stopped her thinking and forced her back to reality.

"Luo Kun! I already told Huang Wei that our Golden Hall Auction House doesn't stand for any threats during an auction! When this is over, go and find Manager Hong for a fine. If not, then humph! Even your older brother won't be able to shield you." Ling Yun threatened as she regained her posture.

Luo Kun angered to the point of wanting to spit out blood from the back-to-back misfortunes, knew he had kicked a wall. Though he wanted to stick his head out the window and fight longer, he knew that Ling Yun was right and decided it was better to retreat for now.

"That bastard in that room, if you dare wait outside Golden Hall Auction House and see if you can keep that cold attitude!" After yelling out his final remark, Luo Kun closed back his window and sat back down in his chair.

However, his threat only served to make Xue Bai laugh to himself in the booth.

"Young Master, should we call Master to help us with that brute? Though we are from a better force, we don't have any strong bodyguards with us." Xiao'er asked.

Though Xiao'er knew that Luo Kun served as no threat to them. Currently, they were out on a trip and without a strong bodyguard. If Luo Kun threw caution to the wind and attacked them, Xue Bai would be forced to use the life-saving methods he had been given for emergencies.

"No, it's fine. Though Big Wang and Little Wang didn't come with us, Father always had a squad of Shadow Guards following me, protecting me from the shadows. And the head of the squad that is assigned to me is in the Late Stages of the Law Engraving Realm." Xue Bai spoke as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

"But then, wouldn't that reveal our identities?" Xiao'er asked.

"Xiao'er, we only disguised ourselves before coming into Golden Hall Auction House. Plenty of people have seen us before." Xue Bai responded.

However, Xiao'er shook her head at Xue Bai's words confusing him.

"No, Young Master, no, they don't know what we look like."

"Huh? Xiao'er, are you sick? How would they not know what we looked like?" Xue Bai asked back with an odd expression on his face.

"Young Master, you remember the jade necklace I gave you?"

"Yes, you gave it to me not long ago. How could I forget? Where are you going with his Xiao'er?"

"It has an illusory effect on it. And since Master personally engraved the Array on the piece of jade, no one below his realm can see through it." Xiao'er answered.

Not expecting such an answer Xue Bai didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Xiao'er saw his expression and patiently waited for him to gather his thoughts which didn't take long.

"Do you have one as well? Though you aren't as well known as me, you were seen by a lot of people at my Awakening Ceremony. So people would recognize you if you appeared in public." Xue Bai asked.

Nodding, Xiao'er pulled out a similar necklace from under her robes.

Ignoring the glimpse of the bulging mountains of Xiao'er that she most likely revealed on purpose, Xue Bai asked his second question.

"Then what does it show to the outsiders that look at us?"

"It shows both of us with black veils on. So not anything very different than our current appearances." Xiao'er responded shyly.

"So… then even if I didn't put on the veil, people would still see me in a veil?" Xue Bai asked with an odd expression.

"Yes! But don't worry Young Master, you looked extremely beautiful, so I don't think it's a disgrace to your looks!" Xiao'er thought Xue Bai was saddened and tried to comfort him.

Ignoring the myriad of feelings he had, Xue Bai spoke simply, "Xiao'er, I don't care about how I look. But, please, for things like this, just tell me beforehand."

"I understand, Young Master!" Xiao'er answered, ignorant of Xue Bai's inner feelings.
