Chapter 809: Golden Ape Cultivating Sword

"You win!"

After saying these three words lightly, Xiao Mian closed the window.

After that, the auction in the outside world had nothing to do with him.

No matter how noisy the outside world was, no matter how crazy the crowd was, no matter how excited the auctioneer was, no matter how proud Wan Dongyao was, no matter how disappointed Bi Hun Ji was.

Everything, everything, had nothing to do with him, Xiao Mian!

Not to mention that Wan Dongyao offered the sky-high price of "30 million middle spirits" as Xiao Mian wished, even if Wan Dongyao only added 100,000 middle spirits, Xiao Mian would not take it over again.

He offered a sky-high price of 20 million middle spirits, which had already raised the price to the extreme.

As long as Wan Dongyao was willing to take over, Xiao Mian would withdraw.

As for the ownership of the ghost heart, Xiao Mian was too lazy to care!

But Zhu Yan Ji had to appease her a little...

In front of Jing Chu and the other two, Xiao Mian took out the Beidou Si Nan Pan without hesitation and contacted Zhu Yan Ji.

"Big sister! I'm sorry!"

"I've heard from my fourth sister about this matter. Although you didn't stop the other party, I will remember your help in my heart. Now I'm going to take another plan, so I won't argue with you for now..."

"Big sister! Do you want to seize the heart of the ghost?"

"The heart of the ghost must not be lost!"

"The other party has a mid-level Yuanying ancestor! Besides, this is Tianxia City after all. Do you think Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will let you snatch their auction items?"

"..., damn it! It turned out to be the result of that fat guy A delaying tactic!"

"Sister, please be patient! If you believe me, then just hold your ground!"

"This..., do you have a way to get back the heart of the ghosts and gods?"

"It's not lost, so how can I get it back?"

"You! You mean..."

"Sister! See you outside Xuanji Pavilion!"

"Okay! If you can really get back the heart of the ghosts and gods, Xiao Mian, you will be the benefactor of my entire Netherworld, I'll wait for you!"

After cutting off the connection with Zhu Yanji, Xiao Mian looked up and down at Jing Chu and the other two, who looked at him like a monster, and then his face was full of confusion.

"What? Is there something wrong with my brother?"

"You..., forget it! I won't say it..."

It was Jing Chu, who was closest to Xiao Mian, who said this in a tone of being hit hard, and then the three of them never looked at Xiao Mian again.

Xiao Mian touched his nose awkwardly and smiled without saying anything.

Obviously, today's auction was quite exciting for these three people...

First, Xiao Mian offered a sky-high price of 20 million middle spirits, and then the Yin-Yang Stone was sold at a higher price of 30 million middle spirits.

Then Xiao Mian was able to contact the Yuanying ancestor of the Netherworld Ghost Domain, and then this kid clearly set a trap, leaving Fairy Yao Ji unaware.

After spending 30 million middle spirits, she actually got something she didn't want. After realizing it, Fairy Yao Ji wouldn't go crazy, right?

There was actually a middle-level Yuanying ancestor who was deeply involved!

This kid!

How many secrets did he hide on weekdays?

No matter how hard the three people racked their brains, they naturally couldn't figure out Xiao Mian's details.

After the auction, Xiao Mian and others met Qing Qiuzi waiting at the door of Xuanji Pavilion.

I don't know if Qing Qiuzi knew about Xiao Mian's performance at the auction. In short, Qing Qiuzi looked solemn at this time.

Qingqiuzi glanced at Xiao Mian with a meaningful look, and seemed to be thinking about something.

Just then, Zhu Yanji and Heishaji came together, and Bihunji also walked out of Xuanji Pavilion and hurried over here.

The two seemed to know Qingqiuzi's identity, and they saluted Qingqiuzi as a junior. Qingqiuzi politely returned the salute, after all, the other party was a Yuanying cultivator from the Netherworld Ghost Domain.

"Just now, I was discussing the sword with Elder Hou, and I was in high spirits. Now that I think about it, I feel that it is not to be missed..." Qingqiuzi just said this, and Xiao Mian hurriedly joined in: "It just so happens that I also have some alchemy questions to ask Elder Hou!"

"Okay! Let's go to Yinyang Pavilion!"

Qingqiuzi went first, and Xiao Mian and the other four followed closely. Zhu Yanji and the other three exchanged glances with each other and finally followed.

Not long after, in a quiet room in the Yangque of Yinyang Pavilion.

There were only four people in the huge quiet room.

On the table in front of Xiao Mian, Zhu Yanji and the other two, there was an item that was exactly the same as the finale item at the previous auction - the Heart of the Ghost!

"This... is this really the Heart of Ghosts and Gods?"

"Guaranteed authenticity!"

"The one that appeared at the auction... is it fake?"

"That is indeed a Yin-Yang Stone, although the weight is not enough! But it became like that after being processed by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce!"

"I see! Are you saying that Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has a foolproof plan?"

"Of course! They assisted the evil sects such as the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea to transport the Heart of Ghosts and Gods, and they felt guilty about the Netherworld. It was just because they were bound by a contract that they could not openly offend those evil people, so they resorted to a little trick to create confusion." Seeing Zhu Yanji revealing a look of understanding, Xiao Mian reminded her: "But sister, please don't publicize this matter. The reason why Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce handled it so secretly is that they don't want people to think that they are afraid of the Three Gods Temples of the East China Sea or the Netherworld!"

"I understand! In business, they also have their own difficulties!"

After regaining the Heart of Ghosts and Gods, Zhu Yanji was in a good mood and spoke well of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.

Xiao Mian was naturally happy about this. After handing the Heart of Ghosts and Gods to Zhu Yanji, he found an excuse and left the quiet room.

As for where Zhu Yanji and the others were going, it was none of his business.

Afterwards, in another quiet room, Xiao Mian found Elder Hou who was discussing swordsmanship with Qingqiuzi.

With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian released the little golden ape from his spirit beast ring.

With a flash of golden light, Qingqiuzi and Elder Hou's eyes shifted.

Qingqiuzi was fine, but Elder Hou was stunned when he first saw the little golden ape.

"Is this a sixth-order golden-attributed purple-eyed golden-armed ape?"

"The elder's eyes are sharp!"

"Wait! Your little fellow seems to be a little different... Purple-gold magic pupil!? It actually has a purple-gold magic pupil that shows signs of reversion?"

"Is this the legendary purple-gold magic pupil? I don't know yet!"

"... You kid! Why did you let it out?"

"I just want to ask the elder for it: with its qualifications and attributes, I wonder if it can practice the inheritance of the elder's sword ape lineage? If it can, I am willing to pay a certain price, and I only ask the elder to teach it the way of the sword because we are both apes!"

"This little fellow doesn't have a soul contract in his body. It is not your demon beast. Why do you bother thinking about it so much? Even if I promised you, with the inheritance value of my sword ape lineage swordsmanship, if it is not worth 20 or 30 million middle spirits, do you have the nerve to give it? "

"This... It doesn't have to be so expensive, right?"

"What? Are you looking down on the inheritance of my sword ape lineage? It doesn't matter! You don't have to learn it! Besides, I haven't promised to teach it yet!"

"To be honest, senior! This little guy's mother died of dystocia when giving birth to it. Its father entrusted it to me because he didn't take good care of it. Although there is no soul contract, I regard it as my friend. If I can help it, I will be grateful!"

As he said this, Xiao Mian stood up and bowed to Elder Hou.

The little golden ape seemed to know that Xiao Mian was pleading for it. He looked at Xiao Mian, then at Elder Hou, and followed suit, bowing to Elder Hou repeatedly.

"Forget it! This little fellow has a very different spirit. If I don't teach him well, it may not be a good thing in the future. If another blood sword ape is born, I will be guilty!"

"Senior, have you agreed?"

"But I have said before that if you want me to pass on the sword art of the sword ape lineage to it, it is fine. Even the so-called tuition fee can be waived. I have only one condition: this little fellow must stay in Tianxia City, stay by my side, and be taught carefully by me!"

"This..." After a slight hesitation, Xiao Mian turned to ask the little golden ape: "Xiao Jin! Are you willing to follow this senior and learn the way of the sword?"

"Woo... woo!"

"Are you worried about Hemerocallis?" After the little golden ape nodded, Xiao Mian pondered for a while and said: "What if I let Hemerocallis stay in Tianxia City?"

"Yeah!"

Almost speaking human words, the little golden ape agreed again and again.

"You little bastard! Don't you miss me at all?"

"Woo..."

Calling softly, the little golden ape reached out and hugged Xiao Mian's thigh, reluctant to leave.

"Haha! Don't worry! I still have some things to deal with in Tianxia City, so I won't leave so soon!" Patting the little golden ape's head, Xiao Mian thanked Elder Hou again: "Elder, I will remember your kindness today and will never forget it!"

"It's rare that you can treat it so sincerely. In the future, it will definitely treat you so sincerely!"

After saying this, Elder Hou waved to Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian knew that Elder Hou was ordering him to leave, so he gave the little golden ape a good order, and then followed Qingqiuzi out of the quiet room.

After that, he found Jingchu and the other two in another quiet room, but Qingqiuzi was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked the four to practice in Yinyang Pavilion for one night.

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, the group of people, led by Qingqiuzi, walked out of Yinyang Pavilion, Datong Hall, and Tianxia City.

When everyone returned to Hujiazhai, it was already noon.

Letting Jingchu and the other two say goodbye one by one, Qingqiuzi stopped Xiao Mian.

"Do you know what Elder Hou talked to me about?"

"Isn't it swordsmanship?"

"No! Elder Hou told me that in recent days, Tianxia City seems peaceful, but in fact it is extremely chaotic - especially at night!"

"Night? So that's why you stayed at Yinyang Pavilion last night? What on earth is it that even you are so cautious?"

"... I don't know! I just heard from Elder Hou that many young disciples of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce have disappeared inexplicably in Tianxia City!"

"Missing!?"

"Or - I don't know whether they are dead or alive!"

"What did Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce say? Could it be that they suspect you, senior..."

"Elder Hou didn't say that! After all, when the incident happened in Tianxia City before, we were in Hujiazhai, under the eyes of Elder Hu." When saying this, Qingqiuzi was also quite fortunate. If he was suspected by Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it would be no small matter. After calming down, Qingqiuzi said kindly: "Be careful these days..."

"Yes!"

Obviously, Qingqiuzi or Elder Hou must have someone he suspected.

This person of suspicion must be hostile to Xiao Mian.

Otherwise, Qingqiuzi would not have to warn Xiao Mian alone...
