Ch485 - Auction

Hearing Jiang Xu’s narration, Jiang Yuantu had a strange look on his face. “You mean, my Son was locked in a cage byXiaoJin, and he has to be locked up for a day and a night before he can be released?”

“Yeah, it can be counted asXiaoJin’s doing. It wasXiaoJin who said that since he wanted to get her forgiveness, she asked Qixing to stay in the cage and taste what it was like to be locked up. Then Qixing agreed, and he took out the cage and locked himself up.” Jiang Xu said helplessly as he looked at his Uncle.

Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but frown. “XiaoJin is too willful. Master, shallXiaoXu and I go over and rescue our Junior Brother?”

Glancing at his apprentice, Jiang Yuantu shook his head. “Since it’s his choice, let him do it. He is an independent child, and he will never change the things he has determined.”

“But, wouldn’t this be too unfair to Junior Brother?” At this point, Liu Mufeng couldn’t help but frown.

“It’s okay. This matter was originally about Qing‘erand Qixing feeling sorry forXiaoJin. Qixing would accept this kind of punishment because he felt guilty and had an uneasy conscience. He was sorry forXiaoJin, that’s why he acted like this to compensate. Let him do it.” Jiang Yuantu said nonchalantly, waving his hand.

“Actually, Junior Sister wants you to search for your Son on the streets? She wants you to be like Master and Mistress who lost their Daughter, anxiously searching for your Son on the streets.” When talking about this, Jiang Xu smiled bitterly.

Jiang Yuantu was happy when he heard this. “This girl, does she want to demonstrate everything that happened to her on Qixing?”

“The little girl is very vengeful.” Liu Mufeng also didn’t expect that this Little Phoenix with an IQ of only three years old would be so vengeful.

“She took after her Father. Your Master is a vengeful person. Back then, he was bullied a lot when he was in the Lingwu Sect. Later, he became the Sect Master of the Lingwu Sect and those who had bullied him excessively were all bullied back. They were killed one by one.” Jiang Yuantu shook his head.

“A Tiger Father will not have a dog Daughter. After all, Master’s blood is flowing in my little Junior Sister’s body.” Jiang Xu said as he smiled helplessly. “XiaoJin also said that she won’t let my Junior Brother relieve himself.”

Liu Mufeng and Jiang Yuantu both laughed. “It seems thatXiaoJin was very depressed that day.”

“This little girl.” Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Mufeng felt that when Xuanyuan Jin grew up, she would definitely be a little devil.

“My Junior Brother is at the Spiritual King Realm. If he doesn’t eat, drink or relieve himself all day and night, it shouldn’t be a big problem for him. Let’s pick him up together tomorrow.” Looking at his partner and his Uncle, Jiang Xu said.

“Okay, let’s go pick him up tomorrow.” Nodding, Jiang Yuantu agreed.

“If Master is worried about Junior Brother, why don’tXiaoXu and I go over and have a look.” Liu Mufeng asked uncertainly as he looked at his Master.

“Mufeng, the day of the auction is coming soon, and there are ten patients waiting for you to be treated, you andXiaoXu go help.” Looking at his apprentice, Jiang Yuantu motioned for him to leave.

When Jiang Yuantu arrived at Xuanyuan Chen’s Palace, he saw his Son sitting in a cage on the side.XiaoJin spread a piece of animal skin and sat in front of the cage to enjoy her meal. She was munching on dried meat, and while eating, she asked, “Do you want to eat it? If you want to eat it, you can beg me.”

Qixing in the cage smiled. “You can eat it, I bought these for you. I won’t eat them.”

“Oh.”XiaoJin nodded and continued eating dried meat.

“Yuantu, you’re here.” Looking at his old friend who walked in the door, Xuanyuan Chen couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

“Ah, I came out for a walk and pass by here.” Jiang Yuantu smiled, glanced at his Son in the cage, walked directly inside, and sat on the chair with Xuanyuan Chen.

“Yuantu is here.” Seeing Jiang Yuantu’s arrival, Feng Pianpian immediately made tea to greet him.

“Pianpian.” Jiang Yuantu smiled and greeted Feng Pianpian.

“Let me tell you first, I didn’t put your Son in the cage. He locked himself up.” Xuanyuan Chen hurriedly explained.

Jiang Yuantu smiled nonchalantly. “It’s okay, it’s just a kid playing a game.”

“Uncle Jiang, why are you here so soon? It’s not fun at all to be found by you.” Flying over, the Little Phoenix looked reproachfully at Jiang Yuantu.

Jiang Yuantu smiled at the Little Phoenix helplessly. “Then, what doesXiaoJin think is fun?”

“Uncle Jiang needs to be very anxious to look for him. If Uncle can’t find him, he will cry like Mother and make his eyes swollen. That would be fun.”

“XiaoJin, don’t be ridiculous.” Xuanyuan Chen frowned helplessly, grabbed his Daughter and handed her to his wife.

“XiaoJin, Uncle, or men are not allowed to cry. However, Uncle can play with you and search for a few more laps here, what do you think?” Jiang Yuantu said with a smile.

“Okay, then you have to search very carefully and anxiously, and search a few more times before you find him.” Little Phoenix said as she looked doefully at Jiang Yuantu.

“Okay, I will be looking for him anxiously.” Jiang Yuantu nodded and agreed.

Raising his head, Qixing was stunned when he saw that his Father actually agreed to ‘find’ him. Although he has not been in the sect for a long time, he knew that his Father was very important in this sect. Many disciples wanted to join his Father’s mentorship. And his Father was not only an Alchemy Master, but what was even more powerful was that he also taught Liu Mufeng, a genius in alchemy being talked about by the world. Unexpectedly, such a distinguished eighth-level alchemist would actually be willing to play this little game with them.

Jiang Yuantu fulfilled his promise and searched Xuanyuan Chen’s Palace for a long time. He didn’t leave until it got dark which made the Little Phoenix very happy.

When leaving, he glanced at his Son worriedly. However, he walked away silently without saying anything.

Looking at his Father’s leaving figure, Qixing lowered his head unconsciously. Facing this Father, he felt very complicated. He knew that his Father had always been very kind to him since they met. But thinking about his Mother who died tragically, he always felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that if his Father had not abandoned his Mother, her Mother would not have returned to the Snake Clan, and she would not have been plotted against by his Uncles and Aunts and seriously injured and died. As long as he thought about this, he couldn’t accept this Father with peace of mind.

Amidst everyone’s expectations, the date for the auction has finally arrived. On this day, Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen’s family, Jiang Yuantu and his Son all came to the auction house in Lingwu City to participate in this auction.

Sitting in the box, watching cultivators walk in in groups, and seeing the first floor was quickly filled with these participants, Qixing looked a little excited. It was his first time to participate in this kind of auction. It was also the first time that he felt that becoming an eighth-level alchemist was a very, very great thing. If he could become an eighth-level alchemist in the future, could he also hold his own auction? Thinking of this, Qixing had a look full of yearning.

“Not bad, the first floor is already full. The private rooms on the second floor are starting to be filled as well. The luxury private rooms on the third floor are also getting people.” Jiang Xu was very happy to see more and more people.

“Junior Brother Jiang, don’t worry, all the tickets have been sold, and it’s guaranteed to be a packed house.” Elder Qian smiled.

“Senior Brother Qian, thank you for your hard work.” Liu Mufeng said to Elder Qian with a smile.

“As long as the two Junior Brothers are satisfied, what does this trivial matter mean?” He waved his hand and said nonchalantly. He and Liu Mufeng have been friends for thousands of years.

Now, Mufeng andXiaoXu were both eighth-level cultivators. In the future, there would not be many things he could help with. Mufeng could give full authority to this auction, he came to promote, sell tickets, and host, which was also a sign of trust in him. Of course he wanted to do it beautifully.

“Elder Qian, have you told them that we want medicinal materials and spiritual treasures, but not spirit stones?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Don’t worry, Junior Brother, I made it clear on the leaflet that spiritual treasures and elixirs can be exchanged for pills first, and spirit stones come last.”

“En.” Jiang Xu nodded after hearing this.

“Mufeng. When the show opens later, do you want to show your face? Many cultivators want to meet the number one alchemy genius in our Zunhuang Continent.” Elder Qian said with a smile.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Okay, then let me go and say a few words and tell them the requirements of this auction and my personal thoughts in detail.”

“Okay.” Elder Qian nodded and agreed.

“Senior Brother Liu, will you have many spirit stones soon?” The Little Phoenix looked envious.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “When Senior Brother earns spirit stones, shall he buy delicious food, fun things and new clothes forXiaoJin?”

“Yes, Yes, Yes.” Nodding, the Little Phoenix said yes again and again.

“Elder Brother, I wish your auction a complete success and that you can exchange for more elixirs and spiritual treasures.” Qixing smiled and sent his blessing to Liu Mufeng.

“En, thank you, Junior Brother.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng thanked him softly.

“Mufeng, there are many Elders in the sect waiting to buy your pills. Don’t sell all the pills here, keep some for the Elders in the sect.” Xuanyuan Chen reminded.

“Don’t worry, Sect Master, I have prepared all the pills that the Elders of the sect need.” Liu Mufeng was naturally prepared for this.
