Everyone was immediately stunned. That was a cultivator in the Golden Core stage!
All the cultivators present felt a chill down their necks, and the eyes of those big shots grew even deeper. Henggu had gone too far this time.
The cultivators who had originally had ill intentions all suppressed their thoughts. They obediently followed the rules of the auction to buy things, so docile that they didn't seem like cruel cultivators at all, but rather like little kittens.
Yong Shanling looked solemn. It should be said that luckily she had never thought of forcibly taking Shushu away from the auction. Otherwise, she might have ended up like this person.
"The merits on this human pill are the strongest I've ever seen in all the human pills I've auctioned. Whoever devours the merits on him may be able to leap over a major realm." A Qiu then dropped another bombshell.
It immediately stunned everyone. What did a major realm mean? It meant going from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Incipient Enlightenment stage, or even directly to the Fusion stage, or from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage. There were countless cultivators who had been stuck at a bottleneck for years and couldn't break through until the end of their lives.
Yong Shanling immediately had a headache. This was bad. Her body had completely become the target of everyone in the cultivation world. Should she be glad that Shushu was safe?
"Two hundred top - grade spirit stones." A hoarse voice came, accompanied by a greedy look that was fixed on the girl on the stage.
"Three hundred top - grade."
"Five hundred top - grade. Plus a Break - Calamity Pill." A charming voice came.
...
The price kept rising, and finally it had been hyped up to two thousand top - grade spirit stones.
"Sir, what should we do?" A low voice came from beside Yong Shanling. Ye Qinghe looked at the motionless girl on the stage with a panicked expression.
Yong Shanling also felt a bit nervous. Without saying a word, she directly raised the sign and said loudly, "Three top - grade spirit stones plus a top - grade Cleansing Spirit Pill."
When this voice came, it immediately became quiet around. Everyone turned their eyes to a tall, black - robed man in the hall. Many people in the private rooms were suspicious. After all, the massacre in the Northern Mountains was still an unsolved mystery, and the Pre - Spiritual Grass had become the only clue.
And the top - grade Cleansing Spirit Pill could only be refined from Pre - Spiritual Grass that was over five hundred years old. So this person must know something about the Northern Mountains massacre.
"Brother, don't stop me. I must find that person and ask him if he knows who killed more than a dozen cultivators in our family."
"Don't be impulsive. We'll talk about it after we get out." A gentle voice came, but there was a hint of coldness in it.
Similar words came from several private rooms. Many people were looking at that tall, black - robed man.
In a corner, a person looked at Yong Shanling, and with a deep look at Mu Yijie's body, uttered three words: "Yong Shanling."
Yong Shanling didn't say a word. She just quietly waited for the reaction of the people around. However, no one continued to bid after she spoke.
She bought Shushu very smoothly.
After Yong Shanling bought it, she directly followed the waiter to go through the formalities. She saw a man with a strange appearance, his facial features all scrunched together, standing there, looking at Yong Shanling with a gaze as sharp as a knife.
"A big customer. Your things are ready."
Yong Shanling walked over calmly. She opened the wooden box, took a look inside, then closed it indifferently and told the people behind her to take it away directly.
After going out, Yong Shanling took back Mu Yijie from Ye Qinghe, released him, and then started running away quickly.
At this time, many black - robed people had appeared at the gate behind them and were gradually approaching them.
"What should we do, Mr. Mu?" Ye Qinghe said worriedly. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Otherwise, let's run separately. If I take Sister Shanling, those people probably won't chase me, a weak person. Mr. Mu, you can take a dummy and run away. This way, our chance of escape will be higher."
Yong Shanling hesitated for a moment. Looking at Ye Qinghe, she gritted her teeth and said, "No. You go first. Don't take anything. You'll have a greater chance of surviving."
After saying that, she was about to leave with Mu Yijie. Then she felt the movement behind her. Looking back, she saw Ye Qinghe following her silently.
There was a glint of moisture in Yong Shanling's eyes. After all, not everyone was willing to share weal and woe.
However, those people still caught up quickly. Yong Shanling hugged Mu Yijie's body and was still frantically transmitting spiritual energy with her hand, just to unlock the restriction on Mu Yijie's body.
"Hahaha, put down that girl, and I'll spare your life, old devil." A man with a long hook in his hand and a gloomy face looked at the petite Mu Yijie in Yong Shanling's arms greedily.
Yong Shanling glared at him fiercely and gritted her teeth and said, "You're dreaming. If you want to fight, just come."
The old devil laughed sinisterly and said, "Since that's the case, I'll kill you first and then eat your human pill."
After saying that, he directly took out the long hook in his hand. The long hook flew over like a sharp sword. Yong Shanling was startled. Holding Mu Yijie with one hand, she directly took out a bunch of explosive talismans and threw them over.
Then she turned around and ran away with Mu Yijie and Ye Qinghe, completely losing the momentum of wanting to fight just now.
After that, Yong Shanling directly stuffed a dummy to Ye Qinghe and quickly said, "Now the only way to survive is to split up. We'll run in two opposite directions. After shaking off the pursuers, we'll meet at the fifth small hill in the south."
Ye Qinghe lowered his head and his expression couldn't be seen clearly. He just said, "Don't die."
Mu Yijie showed a bright smile on his face that resembled Yong Shanling's and said loudly, "No. Don't worry."
After that, on the way, Yong Shanling killed several groups of pursuers before finally successfully shaking off everyone and arriving at the meeting hill. She found a safe place to unlock the restriction on Mu Yijie's body.
Mu Yijie moved his hand. Just as he stood up, his body went limp and he fell to one side. With a pale face, he was supported by Yong Shanling to sit up.
"Shushu, don't be in a hurry. We're safe now. Let's recover first. After the people we're meeting come, we'll leave quickly."
"Who are we meeting?" Mu Yijie's voice sounded as if it had been sawed. It was as unpleasant as an old woman's. Yong Shanling felt heart - broken when she heard her own body's voice like this.
Woohoo, her voice. What if it couldn't be recovered in the future?
"It's Xiao Qinghe." Yong Shanling said cheerfully.
Mu Yijie's already ugly face turned even darker.
"Let's go quickly. It's not safe here." After saying that, Mu Yijie struggled to pull Yong Shanling away.
