After returning to Murong Yuyan's residence, Liu Xiaoyuan looked somewhat disheveled from the fight. Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's appearance, Fang Chengbai actually asked, "Brother-in-law, you look so disheveled. Did you go to someone else's wife's place last night and get caught red-handed by her husband this morning?"
Damn it, Liu Xiaoyuan was already in a bad mood because he couldn't find the Pure Yang Grass, and this guy made such a joke. Liu Xiaoyuan kicked him to the ground.
And then, he said coldly, "I'm in a bad mood today, so you'd better not mess with me!"
Upon seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's cold gaze, Fang Chengbai trembled in fright and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan went into the bathroom to take a shower. Murong Yuyan, who was standing nearby, came over and helped her cousin up, saying, "Cousin, really, you should watch your mouth and not talk nonsense."
After Liu Xiaoyuan finished showering, Murong Yuyan walked up to him and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyuan, what's wrong? Is something the matter? If so, just say it. Don't keep it to yourself, it'll make you feel bad."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Actually, it's nothing, so you don't need to worry. I want to rest for a while. Could you lend me your bed?"
Unable to find the Pure Yang Grass, Liu Xiaoyuan was in a bad mood and just wanted to lie in bed and rest.
Murong Yuyan had never seen Liu Xiaoyuan like this before. She knew that Liu Xiaoyuan must have encountered something serious, but she didn't ask any further questions. She knew that if Liu Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, it would be pointless to ask.
Liu Xiaoyuan lay on Murong Yuyan's bed, thinking about how to solve the problem, but the thought of not even having a clue about the Pure Yang Grass made him hesitate.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoyuan remembered something: when they entered the tomb, Jia Youdao, that fat man, had said that Pure Yang Grass couldn't possibly grow inside a tomb.
Jia Youdao might know a clue about the Pure Yang Grass!
Thinking this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately got out of bed, grabbed his clothes, and went out. When Murong Yuyan saw Liu Xiaoyuan about to leave again, she quickly asked him where he was going.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'm going out to take care of some business. Don't wait for me to eat!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan walked out of the room.
After Liu Xiaoyuan walked away, Fang Chengbai, who was inside the house, looked at his cousin and said, "Cousin, does your husband have another woman outside? He had an accident last night, and he just came back and went out again. This is not normal."
Murong Yuyan glared at Fang Chengbai and scolded, "Your mouth deserves a slap, you know that? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll kick you!"
Murong Yuyan didn't believe Liu Xiaoyuan had a woman outside. Even if he did, he would do it openly and honestly, not secretly, because Murong Yuyan had seen Liu Xiaoyuan bring his girlfriend to his concert.
After Liu Xiaoyuan left the residential area, he was immediately stumped. Where could he find Jia Youdao, this fat man?
He slapped his forehead. Really, he should have grabbed Jia Youdao's hand and asked him about the Pure Yang Grass when they left the tomb. But Liu Xiaoyuan had forgotten about it at the time.
He wandered aimlessly down the street, looking around for Jia Youdao, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find a trace of him.
Just when Liu Xiaoyuan was feeling disheartened, a familiar voice rang in his ears. Upon hearing this voice, Liu Xiaoyuan was overjoyed, because the owner of the voice was indeed Jia Youdao.
"Teacher Jia!" Liu Xiaoyuan turned around excitedly to look at Jia Youdao.
Jia Youdao revealed his harmless smile and asked, "Brother, are you looking for someone? Do you need my help?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Teacher Jia, I've been looking for you! I've been searching for you for so long. I never expected to run into you here. I'm so happy."
Jia Youdao asked, "Brother, what brings you here?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Teacher Jia, last night I saw that you knew about the Pure Yang Grass, so I wanted to ask you if you know the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass."
Jia Youdao looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and asked, "Brother, what do you need Pure Yang Grass for? Pure Yang Grass is no ordinary thing."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't hide anything and said, "I'm looking for the Pure Yang Grass to save people. If Teacher Jia knows any clues about the Pure Yang Grass, please let me know. I would be very grateful."
Jia Youdao said, "To be honest, brother, I do know the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass. In seven days, there will be an auction for cultivators in the capital. A Pure Yang Grass will be auctioned off at that time. If you want to get this Pure Yang Grass, just prepare your spirit stones."
Spirit stones? Liu Xiaoyuan is really short of them right now. All his assets combined only amount to a few hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Liu Xiaoyuan quickly asked, "Teacher Jia, do you know approximately how many spirit stones this Pure Yang Grass costs?"
Jia Youdao shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but I estimate that the starting bid for a medicinal herb like Pure Yang Grass would be at least several hundred low-grade spirit stones."
The starting price is already several hundred, so after a bidding war, wouldn't it soar to thousands, or even tens of thousands?
Damn it, Liu Xiaoyuan was frustrated. Where was he going to find spirit stones, and so many at that? Was he supposed to specifically hunt down Qi Refining stage cultivators? But with the meager resources of Qi Refining stage cultivators, he didn't know how many he would have to kill to accumulate several thousand spirit stones.
I'm afraid that by then, before I had enough spirit stones, I would have been wiped out by a group of others.
Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely frustrated. He had finally found out the whereabouts of the Pure Yang Grass, but he didn't have any spirit stones on him.
It feels like when you find out that the goddess you've had a crush on for years is still single and doesn't have a boyfriend, so you dress up carefully and prepare to pursue her relentlessly, only to suddenly discover that she's actually a young lady working in Dongguan!
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's expression, Jia Youdao asked with a smile, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Xiaoyuan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Thank you for letting me know, Teacher Jia. By the way, Teacher Jia, are you also attending this auction?"
Jia Youdao nodded and said, "Yes, I also want to go and take a look. Although there's nothing I like at this auction, I still want to see it for myself."
"Brother, it's fate that we met. How about we go to a restaurant and have a couple of drinks?" Jia Youdao invited Liu Xiaoyuan, putting one hand on Liu Xiaoyuan's shoulder and saying with a grin.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to go find the spirit stones, but after thinking about it, he followed Jia Youdao into the restaurant instead.
Liu Xiaoyuan was very curious about Jia Youdao. He was curious how Jia Youdao knew about the Yinling Scripture, how he knew the weaknesses of evil cultivators, and whether Jia Youdao had gone to target this evil cultivator last night.
