Chapter 198: The Auction

Huh…

Yun Yi took a long breath and withdrew the Red Lotus Karma Fire and his soul power.

After controlling the flames and healing the soul for a whole day and night, even for someone as talented as Yun Yi, it was a bit overwhelming. At that moment, a hint of fatigue appeared on his face.

Yun Yi took a pill and swallowed it, and the feeling of tiredness eased a little.

At that moment, Qiao Shaoshan was still completely in a meditative state, his body was bright red, trembling, and covered in sweat, but his vitality had fully recovered. His breathing began to stabilize, shifting from a vague state to firmly settling in the first grade of the One Line Sky Realm.

“It worked,” Black Wind said.

Yun Yi nodded and then opened the door.

Outside the door, Leng Ji waited all night without leaving. When she saw the door open, she quickly walked in. Upon seeing Qiao Shaoshan still sitting on the ground and not awake, Leng Ji hurriedly asked Yun Yi, “Young Master Yun, how is he?”

“Sister Leng, don’t worry. Master Qiao’s poison has been completely removed, and his body has been refined by the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Right now, he is digesting the benefits. He is expected to wake up in about two hours,” Yun Yi said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ji’s worried heart finally felt at ease. She looked at Yun Yi with gratitude in her beautiful eyes.

“I will never forget your great kindness, Sister Leng. If Young Master Yun needs anything in the future, I will do my best to help.”

Leng Ji deeply bowed to Yun Yi, expressing heartfelt gratitude. Qiao Shaoshan’s injury was so serious that they were about to give up hope, and the father and daughter were almost in despair.

At this critical moment of despair, Yun Yi appeared and, with his remarkable skills, solved Qiao Shaoshan’s greatest crisis.

This was not just a favor for healing; it was a life-saving grace. Both Leng Ji and Qiao Shaoshan would remember this heavy debt of gratitude in their hearts forever.

“Sister Leng, there is no need to say that. I also received Ice Heart Saliva, so we are even,” Yun Yi said. He believed that, for him, the value of Ice Heart Saliva was unmatched; as long as he got the Ice Heart Saliva, saving ten Qiao Shaoshans was nothing.

“It’s different,” Leng Ji shook her head with a smile; in fact, she and Yun Yi had the same idea, just from a different point of view.

Both Leng Ji and Yun Yi had the same goal: one to save her adoptive father and the other to save her grandfather.

To Leng Ji, Ice Heart Saliva was nothing; compared to her adoptive father’s life, it was worthless no matter how precious it was.

For Yun Yi, saving people was nothing; compared to Ice Heart Saliva, it was just a simple task.

“Alright, Sister Leng, isn’t today the auction? I still need to hurry to join the auction and see what the largest auction in Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State looks like.”

Yun Yi said with a smile.

“Oh!”

Hearing about the auction, Leng Ji suddenly slapped her forehead, “I forgot about this!”

After speaking, Leng Ji turned and walked away.

Yun Yi quickly closed the door and hurried after Leng Ji, “Sister Leng, why are you so flustered?”

“I am the auctioneer and host at today’s auction,” Leng Ji said, quickening her pace.

Uh…

Yun Yi looked speechless, then couldn’t help but laugh.

Leng Ji was so worried about Qiao Shaoshan’s injury that she forgot something as important as the auction. If a big auction was missing the auctioneer and host, it wouldn’t work at all.

The auction venue at Peace Villa was located inside a three-story hall, which was very large with enough seats for one hundred thousand people.

This was the only auction house in the entire Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State that could hold one hundred thousand people, and it was truly unprecedented.

When Leng Ji and Yun Yi arrived at the auction house, the big gate was almost closed and no one was allowed to enter.

Standing at the gate of the auction house were a group of golden guards.

“The auction is about to begin. Those who are late should go back,” a captain from the Lingyuan Realm said loudly to the several late Spirit Cultivators in front of him.

Those Spirit Cultivators all sighed, but they understood the rules of Peace Villa and knew they had completely missed this year’s auction.

At that moment, Leng Ji and Yun Yi hurried over.

“Young Miss.”

The golden guards saw Leng Ji, were first surprised, then bowed respectfully.

They all knew that Leng Ji was the main person at today’s auction. They thought she had gone in long ago, but to their surprise, just as the auction was about to begin, she hurriedly ran over.

“Quickly, make way.”

Leng Ji said, stepping past the golden guards and striding toward the auction area, while also turning to Yun Yi and saying, “Young Master Yun, your Yanwu family is in Room 6, you can go up directly.”

“Okay.”

Yun Yi nodded and walked toward the entrance. The golden guards, seeing that he was with the Yanwu family and came with Leng Ji, naturally did not dare to stop him.

“Yun Yi.”

Just then, someone called his name from behind.

Yun Yi turned around and saw Duan Tianye, with white hair, waving at him as he rushed over.

“I’m late, I’m late.”

Duan Tianye smiled mischievously.

“Let him in, he is from the Yanwu family,” Yun Yi said.

The guards immediately stepped aside, allowing Duan Tianye to enter.

“Tianye, why did you come here by yourself?”

Yun Yi asked with a smile.

“Don’t mention it, I was late, and I wanted to see the auction. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to get in. I heard that you made quite a splash at the Mystic Hand Pill Lord’s birthday celebration and even got personally invited by Master Qiao. How impressive!”

Duan Tianye said, giving Yun Yi a pat on the shoulder.

“Haha, it’s good you came! Let’s go to the VIP room and see what makes the auction in Xuanzhou State and Xianzhou State so different. Maybe we’ll even find something we like!”

Yun Yi pulled Duan Tianye and walked towards the auction hall.

He and Duan Tianye became friends after their fight, and since then, they developed a feeling of mutual respect and gratitude for each other.

Duan Tianye’s five hundred spirit stones stayed in Yun Yi’s heart.

Without Yun Yi and Black Wind, Duan Tianye would have fallen into darkness long ago and wouldn’t be here today.

The semicircular auction hall had seats arranged neatly from top to bottom. In the air, there was a high platform, which was the auction stage. The auction stage was in the center, allowing all the Spirit Cultivators attending the auction to see the items clearly.

On the third floor, there were several private VIP rooms. Anyone who could sit here and attend the auction was of high status.
