Chapter 19: Chapter 12

Yu Xinyue felt her chest tightened when she saw the black jade chest. 

 

‘What is it inside?’

 

“The next item is this chest. This chest was made from black jade, the source of this chest was unknown and we can’t find anyone who can appraise this chest. This chest was brought back from the Ghost Realm by an elder and disciples of Azure Dragon Sect. For this item, we will use the barter system instead of bidding. Whoever offers the best item will get this chest.” The manager said with a solemn face.

 

Yu Xinyue clenched her fists and calmed her frantic heartbeat.

 

‘I have to get that chest!’ 

 

This thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

 

Hearing the manager's words, the entire auction hall fell silent. After a while, a young man in a red robe stood up, clasped his fists and said, "This one is the eighth prince of the Cloud Dragon Empire. I offer this Scarlet Cloud Sword."

 

The guests started to murmur when they saw the Scarlet Cloud Sword. It’s a middle stage spiritual weapon with high grade - level 3.

 

"Is there a better offer than Scarlet Cloud Sword?" The manager asked.

 

The Eighth Prince stood there with his hands behind his back and his chin raised. He looked arrogant and full of pride.

 

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. This one is named Cheng Ling, a direct disciple of Pure Heart Sect Master. I offer this." A girl in a soft green robe said, showing a jade bottle in her palm.

 

‘Eh? Isn’t that girl the white lotus I met before? So, they also came to today’s auction.’

 

Yu Xinyue narrowed her eyes when she saw Cheng Ling. 

 

“This is a supreme stage with low grades - level 4, Qi Gathering Elixir. It is effective even for a golden core cultivator. The absorption rate is 90%.” Cheng Ling said with a gentle voice, but pride could be heard clearly in her voice.

 

The manager nodded and said, "What Fellow Daoist Cheng offers is more valuable than the Eighth Prince. Is there anyone who can offer better things?"

 

The other guests looked at each other but none could offer better. This is a supreme grade Qi Gathering elixir ah! Not many could get their hand on it. This elixir can only be enjoyed by the elders and sect master of the Pure Heart Sect.

 

Yu Xinyue thought for a while and said, "I will offer the Nine Phoenix Spirit Pill."

 

“What?! It’s a pill!”

 

“The one inside the private room must be lying. She is not showing the item.”

 

"Yeah, unless she came from powerful sects or ancient clans, it is impossible to have a pill."

 

The guests discussed with disbelief while Cheng Ling clenched her fists tightly. 

 

'It shouldn't be like this. In my previous life, it was the Bai family’s heir, Bai Qinghao who got this black jade treasure chest by bartering a high stage, perfect grade elixir. Why is this girl suddenly appearing now?’

 

Looking at the private room number one, a murderous intent flashed in her eyes. 

 

‘Whoever dares to snatch that item from me will have only one ending, and that is death!’

 

“Please calm down. We will verify the item. Please wait for the result.” The manager said while glancing at Yu Xinyue’s direction. He believed she was capable of possessing a pill. After all, she was the one selling today's main auction item.

 

Not long after, the manager walked inside her private room, guarded by four golden core cultivators and followed by an old man. He clasped his fists and said, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist. Can we evaluate the items first?"

 

"It's here." Yu Xinyue said with a smile. With a wave of her hand, a small jade box appeared on the table.

 

The manager looked at an old man who was standing beside him and said, “Elder Guo, please.”

 

That old man walked towards the table and picked the jade box from the table. Opening the jade box, there is one red pill lying in the middle of the box while a spark of fire could be seen sometimes. That old man’s eyes widened and his lips trembled. After closing the jade box and placing it on the table, the old man clasped his fist and said, “Greetings, Fellow Daoist. This one is named Guo Jiao, Elder of Red Hall Sect. May I ask, what is the function of this pill?”

Yu Xinyue stood up and said with cupped fists, “Greetings, Elder Guo. This Nine Phoenix Spirit Pill is used to nourish the soul and restore the wounded soul.”

 

“This.. May I ask where this pill came from?” Guo Jiao asked.

 

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell Elder Guo.” She said with a slight smile.

 

Guo Jiao looked at her for a while before he bowed with cupped fists. Yu Xinyue just smiled and didn't speak. The manager was surprised when Elder Guo treated her so respectfully.

 

'It turns out that this lady is not simple at all. My decision to work with this young lady was the best decision I've ever made!’

 

“Then, Elder Guo, what is the result of the appraisal?” The manager asked.

 

“This pill is an earth stage pill with perfect grades.” Guo Jiao said calmly.

 

When the manager heard this, his eyes widened in surprise. 

 

‘For nearly a thousand years, there has been no earth stage elixir that was found. Not to mention medicinal pills, and it can also heal soul wounds! This elixir is an immeasurable treasure! This time the Azure Dragon sect hit the jackpot.’

 

After the appraisal, the manager left her room with Elder Guo and the bodyguard. Holding the small jade box, he walked towards the stage. Looking at the guests under the stage, the manager opened the jade box as he said, "This Nine Phoenix Spirit Pill is a genuine product. It was identified by the elder Guo Jiao of Red Hall Sect. It’s an earth stage pill with perfect  grades, which nourishes the soul and restores the wounded soul. I believe that no one can offer anything more valuable than this pill, so this black jade chest was won by the guests of the private room number one. "

 

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction hall fell into a dead silence. No one can take their eyes off the red pill.

 

Seeing those greedy eyes, Yu Xinyue quietly walked out of her room. Best to leave before she gets into trouble. Before leaving the auction house, she went to the back room to get her black jade chest. She can come back later to get her money. There is no need to stay until the auction is done.

 

Inside the back room, she kept the black jade chest into her space before she said, "I believe that the Prosperity Auction House will keep their client identities a secret."

 

"This is a matter of course. Fellow Daoists, please rest assured." A woman in red said with a smile.

 

"Then thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist. I'll take my leave first.” Yu Xinyue said with cupped fists.

 

“Take care, Fellow Daoist.” The lady said with cupped fists.

 

After leaving the auction house, Yu Xinyue first returned to the inn, and then went to her space.

 

In the space, Yu Xinyue sat on the stone chair near the bamboo house, looking at the black chest in front of her. This black chest is locked with many complex ancient formations. To open it, she needs to find a way to unlock the formation. She touched her chin, lost in thought.

 

‘What is it inside that needs so many formations to lock it?’

 

Touching the black chest, she could feel the cold feeling coming from it, seeping into her body from the fingertips. The cold feeling made her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if something was trying to scatter her soul. The energy from it is evil.

 

With a wave of her hand, she put the black chest on the bottom of the lake. Whatever it was, she couldn't let it out of the black chest. With the pure energy from the spring of life, the evil energy from the black chest can be suppressed. What's more, there is a devil tree by the lake. It can absorb the devil qi in the black jade chest to nourish itself.

 

Yu Xinyue buried the black treasure chest at the bottom of the lake, and was relieved. Her pounding heart finally calmed down. Putting her hands on her heart, she closed her eyes. She heard the rustling of leaves, the singing of birds, and suddenly there was a cold, hoarse voice in her head.

 

'You can't lock me up here forever. One day, I will come out and kill you!’

 

Bang! 

 

An evil aura came from the bottom of the lake, hitting her soul.

 

Gasp! 

 

Yu Xinyue opened her eyes and blood trickled from her lips, staining it red. 

 

“What is that?” She murmured with a frown.
