Chapter 15 Auction House
Hearing this, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed across Xun'er's beautiful eyes. After a moment, Xun'er whispered, "After tonight, I don't want to see Galeo again. You know what to do."
"Miss, there is no need to do this." Ling Ying said with a wry smile.
"What? You want to disobey my orders?" Hearing this, Xun'er's face turned cold, and two golden flames suddenly rose in her beautiful black eyes.
"I dare not, but Galeo is now living a life worse than death. Killing him would be a relief to him." Ling Ying wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.
"Life is worse than death?" Hearing this, Xun'er was slightly stunned, a hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said calmly: "What do you mean?"
"Not long after you left, young lady, Galeo was attacked and lost the symbol of masculinity." Ling Ying straightened his body slightly and said respectfully to Xun'er.
"The symbol of losing a man?" Hearing this, Xun'er's pretty face flushed, and the coldness on her face quietly dissipated. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know who did it?"
Ling Ying said: "I don't know. I was afraid that the young lady would be in danger, so I followed her. But there was a suspect."
"Who is it?" Xun'er was obviously interested.
"Desolate." Ling Ying replied.
"Cousin Xiao Se? Was he also in the market town at that time?" Xun'er had a pretty good impression of Xiao Se. He had a top-notch character and talent. If he had enough opportunities, he would surely become a peerless strong man famous throughout the continent.
Ling Ying nodded and said, "Yes, Miss. I happened to see him hiding in the crowd. After Master Xiao Yan and Miss left, Xiao Se was the only one in the entire market who had the motive and courage to do this. I always feel that the boy is a little weird. Do I need to monitor him?"
"No need. Cousin Xiao Se took action secretly today. I think he doesn't want to see the Xiao family being bullied. Don't bother with him." Xun'er said calmly.
"Yes." After a slight bow, Ling Ying turned into black mist and disappeared on the spot.
The next day.
In the morning.
Xiao Se put on a big black cloak and came to the door of Mittel Auction.
"Wow! Brother, this building is so luxurious, it's even more magnificent than the imperial palace we had in Jiang Kingdom." Long Kui's exclamation suddenly sounded in her heart.
Xiao Se smiled and said, "Really? I'll build you a bigger one later."
"Hehe…" In the magic sword space, Long Kui's beautiful eyes curved into a shallow crescent shape, and she smiled sweetly: "Then Long Kui thanks brother! But why are we here?"
"Auction of the nourishing spiritual liquid." Xiao Se said.
"Nourishing Spirit Liquid? Isn't that what my brother needs? Only two bottles were refined in total. One of them was of inferior quality due to material problems, so it was auctioned off. What should my brother do?" Long Kui asked in surprise.
"The two bottles of Peiyuan Spirit Liquid will eventually run out. We will auction the inferior bottle and get gold coins, which we can use to buy more medicinal herbs to refine Peiyuan Spirit Liquid. The most important thing is that I need medicinal herbs to refine the third-grade elixir, Bingling Pill, to assist in refining the beast fire of the fifth-level monster Fire-devouring Dragon. With the help of the beast fire, I believe I can refine Peiyuan Spirit Liquid without borrowing your power." Xiao Se explained.
"No need to borrow Long Kui's power?" Long Kui became anxious when she heard it. Her beautiful eyes were misty and she asked urgently, "Brother, did Long Kui do something wrong? Long Kui will correct it."
Hearing this, Xiao Se smiled helplessly and explained, "Long Kui is fine, but every time my brother borrows your power to refine pills, it will consume your soul power invisibly. Although you can't feel anything now, after a long time, your soul will fall into a dormant state due to excessive weakness. You don't want your brother to not see you, do you?"
Xiao Se, who is familiar with the original novel, knows very well that Xiao Yan's over-reliance on Yao Lao's power has led to serious consumption of Yao Lao's soul power. In the end, Yao Lao even fell into a deep sleep in order to protect Xiao Yan.
Xiao Se didn't know whether Long Kui's soul, which had been cultivated for thousands of years, was as strong as Yao Lao's.
But even Yao Lao, whose soul has reached the middle stage of the heavenly realm, is like this. Xiao Se doesn't want such a thing to happen to Long Kui.
"Long Kui understands, but brother is not allowed to think that Long Kui is a burden." After hearing Xiao Se's explanation, Long Kui breathed a sigh of relief. What she was most worried about was that her brother would hate her.
"Yeah." Xiao Se smiled and walked into the auction house under the vigilant gaze of the guard at the door.
As soon as I entered the hall, I felt a cool breeze. My eyes swept across the spacious and magnificent space, and finally stopped on a room marked with three big words "Treasure Appraisal Room".
When I stepped into the room, I saw a middle-aged man sitting bored on a chair beside the table. Hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged man raised his head lazily and looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe. His eyebrows slightly frowned, and then he quickly put on a professional smile: "Sir, are you going to appraise the treasure?"
"Hmm." A hoarse voice came from under the black robe. This was Long Kui using his soul power to change his voice.
Walking to the table, Xiao Se casually took out an emerald jade bottle from his waist and gently placed it on the table.
"This is..." Seeing the jade bottle on the table, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly. He carefully picked it up and sniffed it. After a moment, he looked at Xiao Se again, with a little more awe in his eyes: "Are you an alchemist?"
"Hmm." The hoarse voice sounded again.
After getting the confirmation, the middle-aged man's face was quite moved, and he asked respectfully: "Excuse me, sir, what kind of medicine is this? What is its effect?"
"The Essence Nourishing Liquid is a second-grade product. Taking it or taking a medicinal bath can increase the speed of cultivation. It is only effective for fighters."
"Increase the training speed of a fighter?" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man exclaimed. Although a fighter is not like a fighter who can only practice in a conventional way, his meridians are still relatively weak. Pills that can increase the speed of practice are very rare. If one is not careful, he may not explode and die, but there is a great possibility that his meridians will be damaged and he will become a cripple.
"Don't worry, my spiritual liquid is extremely mild and has no side effects. Even if a fighter with fighting spirit takes it, it will only be excreted from the body because it cannot be absorbed." Seeing the middle-aged man's doubt, the hoarse voice explained slowly.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed again. He carefully put the jade bottle back to its original place and responded respectfully: "Sir, could you please wait a moment? I need to ask Master Gu Ni to personally identify it."
"Go soon and come back soon." Xiao Se waved his hand casually, sat down on a chair beside him and closed his eyes to rest.
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully, turned around and hurried out of the room.
In the room, Xiao Se remained silent, thinking secretly in his heart: I wonder if Ya Fei has come.
