Chapter 43: Nan Liujing's suspicions reached the third round of the auction...
When the auction reached the third round, the eighth-grade immortal grass that Lie Wushuang wanted finally appeared.
The host said loudly: "Eighth-grade Immortal Spirit Grass, starting price 200,000 Spirit Stones."
Two hundred thousand spirit stones. Lie Wushuang was glad that the spirit stones he had prepared should be able to win the bid.
However, after a few rounds, it had grown to 400,000 spirit stones, which had doubled, and the bidding was still going on.
Lie Wushuang sighed, "Four hundred thousand spirit stones, forget it."
Nangong Liuchu smiled and said, "Big Brother, just take the photo. Spiritual stones are not a problem."
Lie Wushuang shook his head: "Eighth-grade Immortal Spirit Grass is not a particularly rare spiritual medicine. I will encounter it again in the future."
Li Youyang suddenly said, "Five hundred thousand spirit stones."
The host was stunned for a moment: "Five hundred thousand spirit stones, is there any more?"
After a long silence, the host said, "Five hundred thousand spirit stones for one time, five hundred thousand spirit stones for two times, five hundred thousand spirit stones for three times. Congratulations, distinguished guest! This eighth-grade immortal grass is yours."
After getting the Immortal Spirit Grass, Li Youyang gave it directly to Lie Wushuang: "This is your meeting gift from your master."
Lie Wushuang lowered his eyes. He already owed his master too much. He hadn't even paid back the three million spirit stones he owed him before. How could he repay them now?
Nangong Liuchu curled his lips, took it and handed it to Lie Wushuang: "Master, he took this photo just for you. If you don't take it, it's useless for you."
Seeing Lie Wushuang still hesitant, Nangong Liuchu directly stuffed the thing into his hands: "If you feel guilty, then practice hard and protect your master."
Lie Wushuang put away the fairy grass and secretly vowed to protect Li Youyang in the future.
"The last lot for today's auction is an unidentified fragment from ancient times. The starting price is one million spirit stones."
After the host finished speaking, the waiter took out the items.
Li Youyang's eyes darkened slightly. This was a fragment of the divine formula.
"I'll offer 10 million spirit stones." Liao Cheng's voice came from the private room.
Nan Liujing said coldly: "Fifteen million spirit stones."
Liao Cheng's eyes darkened: "Twenty million spirit stones."
Nan Liujing said in a deep voice: "Fifty million spirit stones."
Liao Cheng gritted his teeth. He only brought 40 million spirit stones, but he had finally waited until the fragment of the divine formula appeared...
"Fifty million spirit stones, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Liao Cheng clenched his fists tightly and thought, "Never mind, at worst I can just snatch it back later."
Finally, the fragment of the divine formula was bought by Nan Liujing, and the host personally handed it to Nan Liujing: "I was wondering who is so wealthy, it turns out to be Sect Master Nan."
Liao Cheng was also paying attention to the bidder. When he found out it was Nan Liujing, he completely gave up the fight and left the auction hall.
After Nan Liujing collected his things, he quickly chased after him.
The two of them were already a thousand miles away in the blink of an eye. Liao Cheng stopped and said, "Master Nan, it seems that I have never offended you. Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?!"
Nan Liujing's eyes darkened as a killing array was about to strike. Liao Cheng's sword moved swiftly, easily dispelling the array. "It seems that Sect Master Nan is very concerned about what happened back then, otherwise he wouldn't be pursuing me. However, the death of our respected master a hundred years ago wasn't my fault. The person you're looking for has already died at the hands of He Zimo."
Nan Liujing summoned his immortal sword and said coldly, "In my place, all demons deserve to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy pressure swept across the entire world. Liao Cheng immediately knelt down and vomited blood: "You want to kill me? Fine! Then you can also taste the feeling of the evil spirit entering your body!"
The next moment, Liao Cheng's devil heart exploded, and the heavy devilish aura filled the world. Nan Liujing waved his sleeves lightly, and a protective formation protected several people. His eyebrows were as cold as frost. The demons were ruthless enough!
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Bei Liyuan and his four companions approaching on flying swords. He was overjoyed and went to greet them: "Fellow Daoist Bei..."
Before he could finish his words, a demonic aura suddenly rose up and enveloped the five people, and then pulled them into a killing zone!
Nan Liujing's eyes were cold. Even he couldn't see the core of this killing formation. The demon didn't have such great ability. It seemed that there was a master behind him.
Thinking of this, he looked at Bei Liyuan and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Bei, follow me closely. I will definitely protect you."
Bei Liyuan ignored him directly. Nangong Liuchu curled his lips and said, "How blind he is!" But it's better than recognizing his master.
In the void, the Divine Lord Ling Ye looked at Bei Liyuan coldly: "Xihe, this time I want to see if you can still be safe and sound!"
Then the sword moved again, and the demonic energy in the killing realm changed instantly. The five people were forced to separate. As luck would have it, Li Youyang and Nan Liujing got together.
Nan Liujing clenched his fist silently. The evil spirit in the place where he was was not strong, which meant that the person who attacked him had a target in mind. What if it was his master... He had to break this killing formation as soon as possible.
Li Youyang rubbed his brows, wondering why he was assigned to the same place as Nan Liujing.
Nan Liujing's sword fingers moved quickly, and his strong spiritual energy probed out to find the center of the formation, but after searching repeatedly, he still found nothing.
Li Youyang was also a little surprised. Nan Liujing was already a saint, and he was the one teaching him personally, but he couldn't find the center of the formation. The person behind this was really not simple.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious as he couldn't find Nan Liujing again and again. The more anxious he felt, the more danger his master was in.
Li Youyang sighed silently. A hundred years later, he was still so impatient. Almost subconsciously, he reminded him, "The more urgent the situation, the more calm you need to be."
Nan Liujing looked at Li Youyang. His master had reminded him of this more than once, in the same tone.
Li Youyang saw Nan Liujing's gaze and thought to himself that this was not good. He couldn't learn to be like Cheng Yanjun, but he could still put the blame on Bei Liyuan. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Liyuan always says that."
Nan Liujing withdrew his gaze and became even more certain that Bei Liyuan was the person he was looking for.
Li Youyang breathed a sigh of relief silently. It was better to say and do less. After years of being a master and disciple, the other party was too familiar with him. One action or one unintentional word might arouse the other party's suspicion.
"I can't find the center of the formation here. Perhaps I need to look for it in a place with dense demonic energy. Mr. Chengyan, please follow me closely."
Li Youyang said calmly, "The demonic energy here is thin and safe. I want to stay here. Sect Master Nan, please go."
Nan Liujing didn't want to bother with Li Youyang anymore, but thinking about how much Bei Liyuan valued him, he would probably be even more angry if something happened to him. "What kind of accident can happen to you if you travel with me? Let's go."
Li Youyang really didn't want to go with Nan Liujing, but he couldn't find any other reason. He was also afraid of making mistakes if he said too much, so he could only follow silently.
Nan Liujing warned coldly: "Mr. Chengyan, stay away from Fellow Daoist Bei from now on."
Li Youyang: ...
After that, the two of them walked in silence, one in front and the other behind.
In the void, Lord Lingye saw Nan Liujing getting closer and closer to Beiliyuan. His eyes turned cold, his sword fingers moved quickly, and a killing formation blocked the way of the two.
Nan Liujing looked back and was about to ask Li Youyang to stay away, but... Li Youyang had already retreated a long way away. He frowned slightly, then slipped into the formation.
Li Youyang folded his arms as he observed the formation. Although it was a killing formation, it held no killing intent. The opponent was merely trying to stall for time. Their formation was crude, relying heavily on spiritual suppression. Their cultivation far surpassed Nan Liujing's. Above the saints lay the Divine Lord, and that only one person, the survivor of the War of the Gods—the Divine Lord Ling Ye!
The person that Lord Lingye wants to kill should be Lord Xihe. It seems that after the formation is broken, whoever is at the center of the killing zone is the reincarnation of Lord Xihe. Finding this person and teaching him carefully will give us more confidence in dealing with future disasters.
When Lord Ling Ye saw that the killing formation was about to be broken, his eyes showed displeasure, he raised his sword lightly, and his spiritual energy turned into a sharp blade and rushed straight towards Li Youyang.
Nan Liujing quickly moved to rescue him, but Li Youyang had already instinctively formed a formation to block the sharp blade.
Nan Liujing was slightly startled, and Li Youyang explained: "It's the formation seal that Li Yuan gave me."
Nan Liujing nodded. This might be enough to fool others, but with his cultivation level, he knew whether Li Youyang had used the formation talisman just now. He had doubts in his heart but did not show them.
At first he believed that Cheng Yanjun was his master, but because of that meeting, he dispelled his doubts. But when he thought about it carefully, the Cheng Yanjun he met today behaved very differently from the person he met that day.
Li Youyang also knew that this reason was too far-fetched, so he quietly drew one and handed it to Nan Liujing: "If you don't believe it, you can take a look."
Nan Liujing took it, this was indeed the master's method: "The killing array here is powerful, let's go around it."
Li Youyang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Nan Liujing stopped asking questions, but he didn't know that Nan Liujing had already begun to observe him silently.
After they had walked for a quarter of an hour, Nan Liujing suddenly spoke up, "I've heard that Elder Li is very eloquent, but why hasn't he spoken a word all this time? Has he suddenly changed his ways?"
Li Youyang said coldly, "Rumors are unreliable."
Nan Liujing continued, "As the most extravagant of the immortal families, Elder Li must have visited quite a few Paradise Places. I heard that Elder Li is a frequent visitor to the Nanxin Place in Xuecheng. There are rumors that there is a top prostitute there, whose beauty is as beautiful as snow. I wonder if it's true?"
Li Youyang had no idea about this, so he just said casually, "It's okay."
Nan Liujing curled his lips and said, "I've got you, Master." There's no such thing as Nanxinfang in Xuecheng, let alone a top star.
Li Youyang added, "I'm not a frequent visitor to Nanxinfang. I've been to countless Jilefangs across the Jiuzhou Continent and I can't even remember which one is which. Most of the ones I've seen are just okay. If Sect Master Nan is truly interested, the Jilefang in Jile City is a place of decadence and extravagance. A trip there is something you'll never forget."
Nan Liujing was slightly stunned and a little unsure. It was impossible for his master to go to a place like Paradise City.
Li Youyang had actually been there once, but he was dragged there by his senior brother after he lost a bet. He just took a quick look and left because he found it too noisy.
In fact, there was no need for such trouble. Whether it was true or not, we would know it immediately. Nan Liujing made up his mind and flicked his fingertips. Li Youyang tripped over a branch and fell. Seeing that he was about to fall, Nan Liujing hurriedly tried to help him, but he ended up falling into Bei Liyuan's arms. At the same time, the evil spirit dissipated completely.
Li Youyang saw blood on Bei Liyuan's lips, so he quickly grasped his wrist and probed his spiritual energy. Although the injury was not serious, he still needed to return to recuperate quickly. "Master Nan, Liyuan is injured. We should go back to Yunshan Sect first."
Nangong Liuchu and Lie Wushuang came over together. As the four of them were about to fly away on their swords, Nan Liujing suddenly called out "Master". Li Youyang almost turned his head subconsciously, but fortunately Bei Liyuan moved in time to block Nan Liujing's sight.
In the void, Ling Ye Divine Venerable raised a cold look: "It's good that he was only injured. It would be boring if he died immediately."
