Led by the auction staff, Liu Xiaoyuan arrived at a room in the auction house, where an auction staff member was already waiting for him, and the Pure Yang Grass was placed on the table.
"Congratulations on obtaining the Pure Yang Grass, fellow Daoist!" the woman at the auction said after you entered the room.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the wooden box on the table and said, "I want to inspect the goods first!"
Liu Xiaoyuan was afraid that the auctioneer might have used a switcheroo, which would be troublesome, and he would have lost everything.
Although auction houses are unlikely to do anything to damage their reputation, it's always good to be cautious and take precautions, as it's better to be safe than sorry!
"Of course!" The woman smiled and opened the wooden box, revealing the Pure Yang Grass inside. Instantly, a gentle aura wafted out, like basking in the warm sunshine in winter.
After confirming that the Pure Yang Grass had not been switched, Liu Xiaoyuan nodded. The woman gently closed the wooden box and then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, would you like to exchange now, or sit down and have a cup of tea before exchanging?"
Not wanting to waste time, Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'll make the exchange now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xiaoyuan summoned the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators he had prepared beforehand.
When the late Foundation Establishment cultivator possessed Liu Xiaoyuan's body, his aura changed drastically. The difference between the late Qi Refining stage and the late Foundation Establishment stage was like heaven and earth.
The auction staff were startled when they saw Liu Xiaoyuan's aura become terrifying. She was only a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, and she felt a little breathless facing a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Senior." The woman looked at Liu Xiaoyuan fearfully and called him "Senior."
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't have time to waste words with him. He immediately took out the spirit stones from the late Foundation Establishment cultivator and threw them in front of the woman.
The woman took the spirit stones and knew how many spirit stones were inside in less than a minute.
"Senior, you've given too much. There are already over four thousand two hundred spirit stones here," the woman said honestly.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Consider the extra as a gift!" As he said this, Liu Xiaoyuan felt a little embarrassed, realizing he was deceiving the young girl.
"Can I take the Pure Yang Grass?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
The woman immediately replied, "Of course! The Pure Yang Grass now belongs to you, Senior. Please feel free to take it!"
Liu Xiaoyuan took the Pure Yang Grass and put it into his storage bag, then swiftly walked out of the auction hall.
After Liu Xiaoyuan left, the woman truthfully handed the spirit stones over to her leader. She didn't dare to keep the extra two hundred spirit stones for herself, as this matter could not be kept from the auction house leaders.
After receiving the spirit stones from Liu Xiaoyuan, the auction manager carefully inspected them and found no problems. He then took out two spirit stones and tossed them to the woman, saying, "This is your reward."
"Thank you, Steward!" The woman was naturally very dissatisfied with the reward of two spirit stones. The senior had given her more than two hundred, and you only gave her two. You are so stingy.
After the woman left, the steward grinned and said, "This cultivator is really foolish and rich. Four thousand spirit stones was already too much for a single Pure Yang Grass, and now he's given more than two hundred spirit stones extra. He's really stupid. Sigh, there's nothing you can do about such a fool!"
After Liu Xiaoyuan left the auction, he encountered the cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
A cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's path, about to utter a threat, when he suddenly realized that Liu Xiaoyuan was already in the late-Foundation Establishment stage. Terrified, he quickly clasped his hands and pleaded, "Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life! I was blind! I was blind!"
Liu Xiaoyuan doesn't have time to waste here arguing with him. Once the time is up, the spirit stone will disappear, and the people from the auction might come after him.
"Get lost!" Liu Xiaoyuan glared at the other party, and the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately stepped aside.
Liu Xiaoyuan hailed a taxi and left. Looking at the taxi in the distance, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator stared blankly at the departing taxi, muttering to himself, "This is really strange. He was clearly at the late Qi Refining stage before, how did he suddenly reach the late Foundation Establishment stage? This is unbelievable..."
"That's right, the senior must have been hiding his strength. Oh dear, I was so blind! I almost lost my life. Luckily, the senior was magnanimous and didn't hold it against me..."
Liu Xiaoyuan returned to Murong Yuyan's residence and immediately instructed her to consume the Pure Yang Grass. Liu Xiaoyuan had already consulted the God-level Invincible System and confirmed that the Pure Yang Grass could be consumed directly and that it had good effects.
When Murong Yuyan saw the strange grass in Liu Xiaoyuan's hand, even its roots were green, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyuan, you want me to eat this weird grass? I won't eat it!"
In Murong Yuyan's knowledge, she had never seen the roots of that grass to be green, which she found very strange!
It's like when no one eats crabs, everyone thinks that such a monster as a crab is probably inedible!
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "If you're not going to eat it, this strange herb isn't something you can buy just because you have money."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Be good and eat this grass obediently, hurry up and be good, or I will be unhappy."
Murong Yuyan asked, "Then can you tell me why you're making me eat this grass? I'm not a cow or a sheep."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I'll tell you the answer if you eat it, okay?"
Murong Yuyan looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. So she picked up the Pure Yang Grass, first biting a little bit of the leaf and tentatively chewing it. She found that the Pure Yang Grass tasted pretty good, so Murong Yuyan simply ate the whole leaf.
"Is it good?" Seeing Murong Yuyan's expression, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the Pure Yang Grass tasted pretty good.
"It's quite delicious!" Murong Yuyan said with a grin.
Before long, Murong Yuyan had consumed the entire Pure Yang Grass.
"Alright, I've finished eating. Now you can tell me why, right?" Murong Yuyan asked with a grin.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Murong Yuyan's face showed a pained expression, and she covered her stomach with both hands as if she had a stomachache.
"What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoyuan was taken aback. He wondered if Pure Yang Grass could not be eaten raw like this, or if the grass that Murong Yuyan had just eaten was not Pure Yang Grass.
"Yuyan, are you alright?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, helping Murong Yuyan up.
If Murong Yuyan really died because she ate the herb he bought, then Liu Xiaoyuan would never forgive himself.
"Xiao Yuan... I... my stomach hurts, it feels like... it feels like I'm going to die!" Murong Yuyan said in pain, and because of the pain, she was too weak to speak and her words became intermittent.
"You'll be alright, you'll be alright..." Liu Xiaoyuan quickly comforted Murong Yuyan.
