Chapter Thirteen: The Innumerable Treasure Pavilion

  "Damn you, Chu City! I'll destroy you!" The old man hastily pulled back the furious Chumandragon as he abruptly stood up.

  "Young master, a small setback can ruin a great plan! Not being able to buy it doesn't mean we won't get it!" the old man said in a low voice.

  Chu Manlong was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned ruthless: "That's right! Chucheng, wait till I get the Life Jade Box, I will definitely destroy you!"

  Five hundred and one million, this price did not last long before being broken.

  The price had quickly risen to eight million, which was beyond everyone's imagination. And still bidding were only three people: Red-haired Devil Red William, Golden Castle Sun Yan, and that wealthy merchant.

  Hong Weilian robbed homes for thirty years and got a lot of money.

  Jinyao City Sun family, a grand and wealthy family with abundant funds.

  That mysterious wealthy businessman is also not simple and is not afraid of Hong Weilian and Sun Yan.

  "Eight hundred thousand! Red William, I really can't figure it out, what do you want the Life Jade Box for? You're a lone wolf, could it be that you have a dying friend?" Sun Yan shook his folding fan, with a curious expression.

  "Eight hundred and fifty thousand! Young Master Sun, I think that Life Jade Box looks good, can we buy it for collection?" Red William sneered.

  "Hey, don't fight over this, give me that Life Jade Box instead. 90 million!" The wealthy businessman said calmly.

  ……

  Although he was a member of a large family, Sun Yan was still young and didn't have access to a lot of capital. When the price soared to 10 million, he finally lost out.

  "Haha, Master Sun has given up, but you still won't give up? Be careful or something will happen one of these days! One billion one hundred million!" Red William burst out laughing.

  "Under the Red William's pavilion, a small and delicate piece of meat is being offered to you for 12 million. If you want it, just take it!" The wealthy businessman was completely unmoved, not showing any fear at all.

  "Fifteen million, you're shameless! Don't give face if you don't want to lose face!" Hong Weilian was truly furious, the other party really didn't know what's good for them.

  "Two hundred million! Hong Weilian, I know your financial situation, you can't come up with two hundred million, can you? Alright, the Life Jade Box is mine!" The wealthy businessman seemed confident.

  "You, you... what kind of person are you? How did you know about my family?" Red William's heart was filled with panic.

  He has been doing evil for thirty years, accumulating a huge fortune, and if he hadn't carefully counted it himself, he wouldn't even know how much he had. How did the other side know? What kind of energy is this?

  "Hehe, some things you shouldn't know! And some things you'll find out soon enough!" The wealthy businessman's response was mysterious and cryptic.

  Red William didn't know what to think, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly turned around and left, giving the wealthy businessman a fierce glare before he walked away.

  With the departure of Red William, the auction of Life Jade Box finally came to an end.

  20 million gold coins!

  What a large sum of money this is!

  Chu Cheng felt a little dizzy.

  Not just him, even the Butterfly Thief girl felt a little dizzy, she didn't expect that a mere Life Jade Box would be worth so much, and that very Life Jade Box had once belonged to her!

  She glared at Chu Cheng fiercely and began to curse under her breath.

  Leaving the auction house, return to the Transverse Mountain Range and focus on cultivation. Until late at night, Chucheng changed into night-traveling clothes, threw Hu Die down into a mountain cave, and then left alone.

  He wasn't afraid that Butterfly Thief would let the girl escape, because the girl's cash card had been taken away by her, which was also one of their mutual agreement conditions.

  To withdraw money, both the card and the person are indispensable.

  Once again he came to Shanyang Auction House, and this time, still only Qiao Le was there to greet him.

  "Senior, you've finally arrived!" Qiao Le was overjoyed and beamed with a smile.

  "Cut the nonsense, where's the money?" Chu Cheng's voice was devoid of emotion, calm as water.

  "Here, here!" Qiao Le handed over a card: "This is a crystal card issued by Wu Liang Treasure Pavilion, it's an anonymous card and hasn't been bound to a soul yet. Elder just needs to bind the soul and there are 20 million gold coins inside."

  "Two hundred million?" Chu Cheng directly put away the crystal card, not even checking the amount of money, and asked: "Didn't we agree to take a 10% cut?

  "Elder brother, you're joking! How dare we take a cut? Without elder brother, the Shanyang Auction House would have gone bankrupt long ago. You're our savior!" Qiao Le hastily nodded and bowed.

  "Very good, you're very good." Chu Cheng gazed deeply at Qiao Le, then suddenly vanished into thin air with a flash of blood-red shadow. Qiao Le only felt his eyes blur for an instant before Chu Cheng's figure disappeared without a trace.

  "Indeed, a great person is truly a great person!" Qiao Le muttered to himself.

  Leaving Shanyang Auction House, Chu City ran all the way and stopped at the foot of the transverse mountain range.

  "Uncle Jiu, you can come out now!"

  A bloody glow flashed through Chu Cheng's eyes, and a thin layer of blood-colored membrane covered his pupils, turning everything before him into a crimson hue.

  This is the Blood Pupil Technique, one of the foundational techniques in the Divine Fetus Precious Blood Record. It transforms a thread of blood vessels into a thin membrane that envelops the pupil, transforming the world before one's eyes into a bloody realm, and all living beings with blood energy have nowhere to hide.

  At a glance, Chu Cheng immediately discovered Jiu Shu's trail.

  "Second Master... you're getting more and more formidable." Ninth Uncle's voice was filled with helplessness and admiration, as he slowly revealed his figure.

  "Uncle Jiu, don't flatter... I have something good to give you." Chu Cheng said calmly.

  "This... isn't necessary, is it? I don't need anything!" Ninth Uncle was visibly taken aback.

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly and stretched out his hand, a greyish-white jade box appeared in his palm.

  " Ninth Uncle, I don't know if you have any space spirit tools... this Dead Spirit Jade Box, I'll give it to you!"

  "Death Spirit Jade Box......" Ninth Uncle was stunned, looking at the grayish-white Death Spirit Jade Box, didn't dare to take it: "Second Young Master, this jade box... is a gift for me? Is it the same as the Life Jade Box?"

  Chu City shook his head: "That's not it. This dead spirit jade box, the internal space is the same as the life jade box, but the properties are different. It can't store living things, but instead can store dead objects!"

  "Corpse?" Jiū Shū's expression changed: "Death energy? Death spirit? Corpse? This, this..."

  Chu Cheng looked at Ninth Uncle and nodded with a smile.

  Jiǔ shū cháng chū le yī kǒu qì, xīn zhōng fān qǐ le jīng tāo hài làng.

  Translation:

  The ninth uncle let out a sigh, and his heart was stirred up with shocking waves.

  Few people know that his cultivation of Xuan Gong is different from ordinary people, very strange and special, a mysterious Xuan Gong called Dead Soul Spirit.

  That was when Ninth Uncle was very young, he picked up a blood-red fruit and after eating it, obtained the inheritance of this mysterious skill.

  This mysterious skill comes from a place called "Ghost Heaven", relying on the aura of death and the soul to cultivate, combining the aura of death and the soul to create a mystical dead soul spirit.

  This undead spirit has only a virtual body and no physical body, almost invisible to others, with no attack power, but it can almost penetrate everywhere, investigate information, track down enemies, it's simply a divine instrument!

  In the study of Bian Huang Fu, why is there such comprehensive information? The dead soul spirit is the first meritorious minister!

  However, the dead soul is afraid of blood and gas, and it's hard to nourish and grow. It can be said that the current dead soul is only the lowest level of dead soul, not even a strong one who has transcended the mortal realm can get close to it.

  And if you possess the Soul Jade Box, and place the soul spirit inside to nurture it, then the soul spirit will become increasingly powerful, able to track down even more powerful people, Transcendence Realm, Seven Treasures Realm, Five Elements Realm, Mountains and Seas Realm...

  At that time, the true horror of this mysterious skill would be revealed.

  Jiǔ shū cóng chǔ chéng shǒu lǐ jiē guò sǐ líng yù xiāng, yī gè bié rén kàn bú dào de xū yǐng, cóng tā shēn shàng bō lí chū lái, wú shēng wú xī de piāo rù sǐ líng yù xiāng, zài nóng yù de sǐ qì zī yǎng xià, sǐ hún líng dé dào le qián suǒ wèi yǒu de zī yǎng.

  " Ninth Uncle, this Death Spirit Jade Box doesn't have many death spirits inside. You'll need to go collect them yourself. Whether it's the battlefield, a graveyard, or other places, as long as they're all gloomy locations." Chu Cheng smiled.

  From childhood to adulthood, for twelve years, Ninth Uncle has been by his side, watching him grow up. The relationship between Chu Cheng and Ninth Uncle can be said to be even closer than that of Chu Tian Ge, disregarding blood ties and familial affection.

  For Jiū Shū, Chǔ Chéng also has a different feeling.

  Now, being able to help Ninth Uncle, Chu Cheng felt doubly relieved and happy.

  Under the circumstances where Ninth Uncle did not notice, Chucheng quietly left.

  Returned to the horizontal mountain range to continue practicing, didn't expect that just as I sat down, Dongfang Ye actually came knocking on the door, with an excited face.

  "Chu Xiaozhi, did you know? The Wu Liang Treasure Pavilion in Shanyang City's branch pavilion has reopened!" Dongfang Ye was over the moon, spitting saliva everywhere as he danced with joy.

  "What? The Infinite Treasure Pavilion? When did this happen?" Chu Cheng suddenly stood up.

  Wú Liàng Bǎo Gé as one of the three major merchant alliances, has a great influence. It can be said that the four characters Wú Liàng Bǎo Gé represent wealth and prosperity.

  "It's just what happened! Do you know who reopened the branch? It was that wealthy merchant! And the Life Jade Box he bid on actually became the treasure of the branch!" Dongfang Ye exclaimed with joy.

  "It was him... I see!" Chu Cheng suddenly realized.

  On that day, in the Shanyang auction house, there were people who knew each other more or less, but only one big rich businessman had no information at all, and nobody knew who he was.

  Now that it's known he is from the Boundless Pavilion, everything naturally falls into place.

  As one of the three major business alliances, it naturally has this financial resources and ability.

  A faint smile, Chu Cheng had a plan in mind.

  "Big Brother Dongfang, if I'm not mistaken, that wealthy merchant has already made amends with your family, right?"

  Eastern Wild One was taken aback, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Uh, I just found out too. That wealthy merchant, oh, his surname is Lin, Lin Zhanggui. Lin Zhanggui had already made contact with my family's old master before. After all, our family is a Dan-refining family, and in the future, we'll also be one of the largest sources of Dan medicine for the Split Pavilion."

  Dongfang Yeshidai refined elixirs, currently the head of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Sanyi, is also a master of Dan Dao. The Wuliang Treasure Pavilion is about to open a branch pavilion, others may not be notified, but how can they not go to pay their respects to the Dongfang family?

  "Dongfang big brother, the Wuliang Treasure Pavilion has just opened its branch, it must be bustling with activity at this time, right?" Chu Cheng smiled and said.

  "That's not all! Now, the Treasure Pavilion is offering all treasures at a 10% discount! Of course, this is only for today, and any latecomers will be left out! And half of the elixirs are supplied by our family!" Dongfang Ye said with a proud face.

  90% off...

  A sly smile spread across Chu Cheng's face.
