Chapter 157 Miss Filosa
Chapter 157 Miss Filosa
Since then, it has been used by some wizards with ulterior motives. They take advantage of its ability to prolong life to deceive others and secretly use it to manipulate people's minds. Eventually, it has become a banned drug even among wizards.
Although Wu Gu Dan was once popular, it was not easy to refine it. Not only did it require a sufficiently powerful wizard, but the materials and timing for refining were also hard to come by. In today's Lingwu Continent, with the wizard race in decline, it was even more difficult to find one. Even a top-level tenth-level wizard like Fang Jueqi took hundreds of years to successfully refine this one.
And the Wu Gu Pill to be auctioned tonight may... be the only one in this Lingwu Continent.
Cang Shu, who has been wandering in the living world for thousands of years, has witnessed the history of the emergence and disappearance of the Wu Gu Dan. He clearly understands the true horror of the Wu Gu Dan. Although it can save lives, it is destined to be controlled by others and live a life like a walking corpse forever. This is why Cang Shu wants to destroy it.
Even if the wizard's target was only the Ouyang family and not the young Ouyang Jie, the very existence of this "poison apple covered with syrup" is a sin.
After the blind auction ended, all the buyers in the Ninety-Six Pavilions left. The winners were taken to pay the auction price according to the auction amount and take away the auction items. The rest who were interested in the Witch Gu Pill waited in the lounge, and those who were not interested left directly.
As for Ye Lianxi...
"You really stump me!"
This was the first sentence that the Ninth Young Master said when he stood in front of Ye Lianxi. Now in his reception room, observing the girl wearing a fox mask closely, he was even more confused. Although he couldn't see her face, she really didn't have the slightest trace of a rich person.
Ji Tianming was very displeased with the way the Ninth Young Master's gaze lingered on Ye Lianxi. It was a look as if he wanted to dig out some secret, and it came from the Ninth Young Master who was not a good person.
He took a step forward to block his view. Unlike Ye Lianxi and Mu Ye, Ji Tianming did not wear a mask, so all his expressions were exposed to the Ninth Young Master. His face was full of warning.
"You just want money!
How much! You can make your bid now! "
The kingly aura emanating from his bones surprised the Ninth Young Master. His eyes were slightly narrowed in the oval golden frames. He pursed his lips and suddenly clapped his hands for no apparent reason. The earring on the right cheek swayed with the movement. The Ninth Young Master smiled and sat back on his cushioned carved armchair.
"Okay, okay! Ah! It wasn't easy for me to get this Xuepo! How much does it cost?"
This is the first time I meet a buyer like you. By the way, what’s your name, girl?”
"leaf……"
Because Ji Tianming was standing in front of her, Ye Lianxi tiptoed and tried to look up and answer over his shoulder. Before she could say anything, when she caught a glimpse of the Ninth Young Master's shrewd eyes, her mind suddenly started and she stopped the name that was about to come out of her mouth.
"No! My name is...Firusa! Yes!Firusa!"
Ye Lianxi didn't know what name to make up, but suddenly she remembered the Phantom vendor who gave her delicious snacks and then sold her in Yancheng. He had mentioned a name - Firouza, the girl who came to give money, and she said it out loud.
However, Ye Lianxi only knew one side of the story. In the Phantom Clan, "Firusa" is also a nickname for a silly girl, specifically used to describe those stupid women without brains. So when the Ninth Young Master heard her words, he was slightly stunned, and then he kept looking at her with laughter.
"Firusa??! What a great name! !
Okay! I've made up my mind! Two hundred thousand intermediate spirit stones! Give me the money!"
……
Gong Yimian went straight to the inn of the Dieyu tribe that Hua Qi mentioned, but he was not able to find Ye Lianxi as he wished.
He was extremely anxious, but had no idea about her whereabouts. Just as Gong Yimian was standing listlessly on a street somewhere in the south of the city late at night, two men with the same appearance and dressed in black suddenly appeared in his sight.
Different from the bustling north of the city where the Phantom Clan gathered, this place was quiet and deserted, and the two men walking among them looked even more sneaky.
"Brother! Are we leaving now?
Shouldn't you say goodbye to them first? After all, they are still friends who have been through thick and thin together!"
Zuo An looked back in the direction of Ouyang Mansion every few steps, still thinking about the few people who escaped from the dungeon with him.
"What a nagging! Do you think I want to leave? The manuscript I had written was washed away by the water in the dungeon! I am still worried about what I will hand in next month! It has become such a big fuss, if I don't leave now, I might get caught and cause trouble for the group leader!
The people who came out to catch slaves have temporarily withdrawn to guard the auction tonight. This is the best time to escape! They definitely don't have time to take care of us now. If we don't leave tonight, when they are free tomorrow, we may have to stay in the underground safe house for several months! I don't want to eat those dry food every day!"
Carrying the bag he had simply packed in the safe house on his back, Zuo Ping looked around nervously. He didn't look like someone running for his life, but more like a thief.
"But I'm afraid... I won't be able to see her again in the future... We have only heard others call her name, and we don't even know what country she is from..."
"She? She? Which she?
Could it be...Ye Lianxi?!"
Just as Zuo Ping was looking at his younger brother's face full of love, before he had time to question his aesthetic taste, a scream from a third person came to his ears like an echo.
"Ye Lianxi???!!"
……
"Two hundred thousand?! How dare you ask that!"
Mu Ye, who had been standing quietly behind, shouted out immediately after hearing the bid made by the Ninth Young Master.
[Two hundred thousand? Is it expensive? ]
Turning around and seeing Mu Ye's reaction, Ye Lianxi showed a puzzled expression under the mask.
On the way out of Xiliang, she deeply felt the importance of money. But she was treated as a slave, and she could be sold for 100,000 yuan? The Snow Soul of Saint Xueyin, which so many people wanted to get, 200,000 yuan... didn't seem too much?
"Okay! Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand! I'll give it to you!"
Before Ye Lianxi could speak, Ji Tianming at the side took the lead and agreed. Although Ye Lianxi did not intend to really pay, she did not want to refuse the price, but what was wrong with this man? Was he planning to pay the auction fee for her?
She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Tianming beside her in confusion, only to find that he was smiling at her with his lips curled.
Two hundred thousand is definitely not a small amount of money, for a stranger who has only known him for two days? Why is he doing this? After the experience of being abducted and sold as a slave after having free snacks last time, Ye Lianxi was inexplicably wary. How could there be a person in this world who would be nice to you for no reason?
