Chapter 1108: Secrets

“100,000.”

“110,000.”

“150,000.”

The value of the blood drop exceeded Immemorial Heavenwood, hence the crazy bids.

It only took a few seconds for the bid to go above 200,000.

“300,000.” Feiyun bid after earning 410,000 on the piece of wood.

“350,000.”

“400,000.”

“500,000.”

Feiyun sighed because they were too crazy. He alone couldn’t compete with these old masters.?re?w????ѵeƖ c??

“600,000.” Radiant Lord bid.

“700,000.” Phoenix Goddess joined.

“1,000,000.” An ordinary old man bid.

There was no sign of slowing down after this bid either. Feiyun realized that there was no way to win the blood drop fair and square.

Of course, as long as the robbing didn’t occur in the auction house, the lord of the market would turn a blind eye to it. This was just the greedy nature of cultivators.

“You’re leaving already?” Mo Yaoyao said. Her snow-white skin was crystal clear, her black hair stood in contrast to her milky cleavage.

“The auction for the wood is done, I need to go get my spirit stones, of course. If people see me getting out from the backstage, I’ll be a target.” He smiled.

“Don’t you want to know who will get the blood?” She asked.

“It’ll be big news later anyway.”

“You’re going to get help for a plan.” She said, looking sexy enough to drive men crazy.

“The truth is that I don’t really need the blood.” He smiled.

“What about Miss Hongyan?”

Feiyun knew that she was too smart to be fooled. All fox demons were wily.

By this point, the bid has reached 2,000,000 and Feiyun sat back down.

“I suppose I can wait until there’s a winner.” He said.

“There isn’t only one block of Immemorial Heavenwood, right?” Yaoyao asked.

Feiyun was surprised at first before nodding: “The rarer, the more valuable.”

“There isn’t only one drop of grand saint’s blood either.” She smiled.

Feiyun found it surprising again: “You know too many things.”

“Don’t you want to know how?”

“Of course, but you won’t tell me.”

“I’ll let you know now that I was the one who brought this blood drop back to the market.” She smiled.

A woman like her should be protected and treasured like a flower in a vase. How did she manage to do this?

Feiyun thought that he was smart but clearly, this was only ego. His initial estimation of her was incorrect. This was a flaw that should be fixed.

“You wanted to know why I visited Jin, right?”

“You said you would tell me after the auction.”

“I’ll tell you now, I went there for the drop of blood.”

Feiyun understood right away: “Bronze Cauldron Mountain, is that the actual grave? So that’s the demonic treasury.”

Yaoyao nodded: “The great phoenix cut down Immemorial Heavenwood for the sake of life prolongment, not to mention traveling extensively and leaving behind many legends. Most importantly, going as far as taking something from hell.”

“And bringing it back to the mortal world.” This was Feiyun’s first time hearing about this.

Hell and the gates of hell were different. The latter existed in the mortal world but hell was something else entirely.

“The path taken was the golden river. There are nine heavens and ten earths, hell has nine golden rivers connecting to everything.” Yaoyao said.

“What did the great phoenix take from hell?” Feiyun asked.

“That I do not know.” She shook her head: “It must be something pertaining to reincarnation. It was left in Bronze Cauldron and became a hole leading to hell. The dead were able to come back to life, even some lucky cultivators.”

“A big shot from hell entered the mortal world in order to take it back. Alas, a mysterious force somehow defeated him. He then picked a different path, opening the Yin and Yang World in Jin. These two worlds are specialized in housing the creatures from hell who have made it through the hole, this is to keep the mortal world safe.”

“Of course, this is mere speculation, I don’t know Yin and Yang’s exact origin, only that they are connected to Hell.”

Feiyun calmed down and speculated about the matter.

“It’s incredible that you know all of this.” His eyes narrowed.

She only smiled and didn’t say anything.

A knock from outside could be heard. The manager then came in and respectfully bowed at Yaoyao before speaking to Feiyun: “Young Noble Feng, the auction is nearly over. Here are your spirit stones.”

He held a fist-sized boundary stone and presented it to Feiyun. The latter accepted and took a look inside - a total of 405,900 dragon stones after fees were deducted.

The manager left right away. Feiyun could see the respect given to Yaoyao from him.

Feiyun stared at her while she smiled back at him.

“You’re the market lord’s woman.” He said.

“Maybe, maybe not.” She didn’t answer.

He believed that he was right. A beautiful demon like her would have been eaten alive in this troubled area without a strong background. The market lord must have told her all of these secrets as well.

“I should have known earlier. There’s something I don’t understand though. Why did someone as strong as you need help with a portal since you could have created one yourself? Moreover, why didn’t you leave Jin right away after obtaining the blood drop?” He asked.

“Would you believe me if I tell you that I thought about following the portal left behind by your mother in order to find her?” She playfully licked her lips.

“What the hell is your goal?” Feiyun’s eyes turned cold.

“Your mother was the strongest dragon I’ve ever seen. A female dragon too, don’t you think that’s strange?” She said.

“How do you know this?” He asked.

She laughed and had to cover her mouth: “I didn’t until now. When I met you in Jin, I thought that your mother was a phoenix. I only noticed your dragon blood when you broke the curse and suspected the dragon thing.”

“...”

“That was just a ruse.”

Feiyun lost the battle this time. He thought that maybe she knew everything about him at the start, even his parents’ true identity.

“Don’t be sad, it’s not easy for a man to stay calm and collected before a beauty such as myself. I merely wanted to find out the truth.” She said.

“Men should go crazy in front of beauties, who would they save this energy for, other men?” He said.

“Well, you may go crazy now, I will not refuse. Do you dare?” She asked.
