Chapter 17: Chapter 10

Yu Xinyue saw that the girl was young and ignorant. It’s normal for that girl to doubt her ability based on her current age and appearance. With a flick of her hand, she took out a handful of low grade spirit stones and showed it to that young girl while saying, “These are the spirit stones, right?”

 

Seeing her take out a handful of low grade spirit stones, the girl's eyes widened. So, this Miss was a cultivator, she was being rude towards her. The girl bent down, clasped her fists and said, "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me. It's wrong for me to draw conclusions without certainty."

 

Yu Xinyue smiled and said with cupped fists, “It’s alright. Then, how much do I need to buy rare spiritual plants from Hundred Herbs Hall?”

 

“It depends on the spiritual plants. The price starts from ten low grade spirit stones. While for the more rare spiritual plants, the price could reach fifty high grade spirit stones. May I know what kind of plants Fellow Daoist is looking for?" The girl said.

 

“I’m not sure what it’s called. How about Fellow Daoist show me the plants? If it’s a plant that I’m looking for, I'll definitely buy it." Yu Xinyue said.

 

Yu Xinyue was taken to the second floor, where more rare spiritual plants and herbs were placed. On the second floor, there are two spiritual tower establishment cultivators and a beguiling formation to guard the room. The girl made a few hand gestures, walking inside the room while gesturing towards her, "Fellow Daoist, please."

 

Yu Xinyue walked into the room. Inside, she could feel the air was different from the lower level. It felt more refreshing, and the aroma of the spiritual plants permeating the entire area was thicker. She walked around the room while the young lady waited at the side. Taking time to check the spiritual plants in the room, she shook her head. These spirit herbs are of lower quality than those in her space.

 

Seeing her keep shaking her head, the girl frowned. "Fellow Daoist, is there anything that interests you?" The girl asked.

 

Yu Xinyue turned around and said, "There's nothing I need here. Are there any better plants than these?"

 

The girl looked at her for a while. After confirming that it was not a prank, she said, "There are better plants, but if Fellow Daoist want to see the plants, you need to pay the entrance fee, before we can let you go to the third floor."

 

"How much is the entrance fee?" Yu Xinyue asked.

 

"It's two low grade spirit stones. Even if fellow Daoists don't buy anything, the entrance fee will not be refunded." The girl said.

 

Yu Xinyue touched her chin and thought. ‘If the third floor requires customers to pay the entrance fee, the items displayed there must be very rare, right?’ 

 

She took out two low grade spirit stones from her space and handed them to the girl. The girl took the low grade spirit stone from her and said, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me."

 

Yu Xinyue followed the girl to the third floor. This floor is guarded by two golden core cultivators, with several formations engraved on the ground. The girl took out a jade token and showed it to the guards before walking to the door. She placed the jade token on the hollow at the door, the girl turned around and gestured to her, "Fellow Daoist, please."

 

When the jade token was placed on the door, the formation stopped, and the door opened. Walking into the room, Yu Xinyue saw that there were only a few spiritual plants placed in the transparent jade box. In the center of the room, there is a small black tree similar to bonsai, emitting a red light, with a purple fruit hanging on the branch.

 

She walked slowly towards the small black tree. Something seemed to be pulling her closer. She stood two steps in front of the small black tree. When she was fascinated by the tree, she heard the voice of the girl.

 

“This is a Devil tree’s branch taken from the ancient devil tree that grows in the devil realm. It bears fruit once every three thousand years. That fruit is the devil fruit. An ensoulment stage cultivator only managed to get one branch from the ancient devil tree when he went to the devil realm. The price for this branch is 100 high grade spirit stones.” That young lady explained after she saw she was interested in the devil tree’s branch. 

 

The Devil tree’s branch has been displayed for more than two years, but the price is so high that no one has ever bought it. Not to mention, no one knew the usage of this devil tree’s branch at all. The Hundred herbs hall wanted to lower the price, but the cultivator who got the branch refused. He lost nine brothers who went to the devil realm together with him, only he alone managed to escape with his hand cripple. The price he set is already the lowest.

 

Yu Xinyue nodded, turned around and said, "I want this devil tree’s branch."

 

Walking to a round table in the corner of the room, she waved her hand, and a pile of high grade spirit stones appeared on the table. The girl's eyes widened when she saw how easy it was for her to take out a hundred high grade spirit stones.

"Please count the spiritual stones. If there is no problem, I will take the devil tree’s branch." Yu Xinyue said.

 

The girl walked to the table, glanced at the pile of high grade spirit stones, and clasped her fists and said, "The number is correct. Fellow Daoist, you can take the devil tree’s branch."

 

After collecting the high grade spirit stone, that young lady took the devil tree’s branch from the display box and handed it to her. Holding the devil tree’s branch in her hands, Yu Xinyue could feel it was pulsing lightly. This devil tree’s branch was alive.

 

Keeping the devil tree’s branch inside her space, she said with a smile, “I'll take my leave first. Thank you, Fellow Daoist.”

 

“Thank you for your purchase, Fellow Daoist.” That young lady said with cupped fists

 

Yu Xinyue left the Hundred herbs hall in a happy mood. Walking back to the inn, she felt something was wrong. Turning around, she looked at her surroundings. 

 

‘Why do I always feel like someone is watching me? Could it be that there are perverted stalkers in this world too?’

 

She shuddered from that thought. Hastening her footsteps, she reached the inn in ten minutes and went to her space after she made sure that no one was around.

 

Inside her space, Yu XinYue saw the devil tree’s branch was taking root by the lake.  As she got closer, she could see the branch was growing a little bit. The thick branches of the devil tree’s branch are inserted into the soil and grow roots. She grabbed the branch and tried to pull it a few times, but the root was so strong that it didn't move at all.

 

Since the devil tree’s branch already chose its place, she just let it be and went to her bamboo house. The moment she left there, the devil tree’s branch trembled slightly and a few leaves sprouted. While the devil tree trunks are getting bigger and darker. 

 

Not noticing what is happening with the devil tree’s branch, Yu Xinyue went to meditate.  Although she can't cultivate yet, she felt her body become stronger whenever she finished meditating inside her space.

Two days later.

 

Early in the morning, the capital of the Cloud Dragon Empire was already very lively. Today is the auction day of the legendary pill. The disciples of those sects and clans have long been waiting outside the Prosperity Auction house. They looked at each other cautiously.

 

Disciples of some major sects and clans stood in front of the gate. And those people from small sects or small clans can only stand at the side.

 

When she arrived at the auction house, she was taken aback. Looking at those people, she remembered those aunts in her previous life. Whenever there is a big sale in the supermarket, those aunties will be crowded in front of the supermarket long before the opening time. The situation right now is the same, but this time there is no aunt who is ready to fight, but there are many good looking cultivators who are ready to fight.

 

Seeing this, Yu Xinyue chuckled softly. It looks like her pill will be sold out soon. Not long after, the door of the Prosperity Auction House was opened, and the manager came out.

 

Looking at the crowd, the manager stroked his bread and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Thank you for taking the time to visit our Prosperity auction house. Today's auction is only for those who bring an invitation and pay an entrance fee of ten taels of gold. To those who were not invited, we are sorry, you cannot attend today's auction."

 

When everyone heard the manager's words, there was a commotion. Protests could be heard from the crowd.
