?59: Chapter 59 Glorious Auction House 59: Chapter 59 Glorious Auction House Ye Xuan was in a terrible mood, truly terrible.

    When his mood soured, only slaughter could quell his violent emotions.

    Yet he temporarily suppressed this feeling.

    Although Leng Qingxue and others had been killed by him, the matter was not over, just as Ye Xuan had said.

    He intended to not only kill her but also exterminate her entire family.

    However, the injury of Ye Xuan’s mother also served as a warning to him, making him realize that without him by their side, his family’s safety could not be ensured.

    Moreover, the Blood Soul Strange Beasts lurking in the Mortal World, though currently dormant, would inevitably erupt and threaten his family.

    Providing them with means to protect themselves was what he needed to do.

    Precaution is better than cure, safety first and foremost.

    Ye Xuan pondered for a long time and finally devised a less than ideal solution.

    Artifact Refining, Setting up arrays!

    As a Cultivator, Ye Xuan’s skills in Artifact Refining and array setting were second to none.

    However, the wise could not work without the necessary resources, and even though Ye Xuan had the skills, the materials for Artifact Refining and array setting were extremely hard to find, which was a significant issue.

    “Hmm?”

    Suddenly, a spark of Spiritual Light flashed through Ye Xuan’s mind.

    The materials for Artifact Refining and setting up arrays naturally consisted of various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

    In these waning days of Cultivation where Spiritual Energy was depleted, although Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were hard to find, there were alternatives.

    Jade, high-quality jade.

    Only jade that had existed for more than a hundred years could be used as material for Artifact Refining and setting up arrays, though the effect would be greatly diminished.

    However, it was the only solution available now.

    Ye Xuan’s thoughts returned, and he had made up his mind.

    He casually hailed a taxi and directed the driver towards the largest auction house in Jiangnan City.

    ...

    Glorious Auction House.

    A well-known auction house in Jiangnan, everything auctioned here was genuine, with absolutely no fakes, and thanks to decades of good reputation, Glorious Auction House had grown bigger and monopolized the market in Jiangnan City.

    There’s an old saying about dealing with jade and antiques: “A business can remain closed for three years if it profits well enough when it opens.”

    This also shows how lucrative the market for antiques and jade can be.

    At Glorious Auction House, they only held auctions twice a year, and usually, the auction house was not open to the public.

    However, today they had an unusual visitor.

    Inside the auction house.

    Ye Xuan lounged on a sofa, a Supreme Black Card placed on the coffee table in front of him.

    A middle-aged man in a suit was currently looking at Ye Xuan with a troubled expression.

    “Mr.

    Ye, if you truly wish to purchase some jade, perhaps it’s better to wait until the auction house reopens next year.

    These are the rules of Glorious Auction House, and I ask for your understanding.”

    As the person in charge of Glorious Auction House, Gu Xiangyun recognized the Supreme Black Card on the table which indicated that its holder had a net worth of at least one billion.

    However, the auction house had its rules, and they couldn’t be broken just for Ye Xuan.

    “First off, I don’t have the time to make another trip, and your so-called rules, as far as I’m concerned, are just set by someone at some point,”

    Ye Xuan’s attitude was assertive, but he wasn’t looking to cause trouble, he continued, “Of course, I won’t make things difficult for you.

    Apart from buying your jade at the normal price, I also have an item to auction here, which should more than compensate for your loss.”

    A milky-white elixir was casually placed on the desk by Ye Xuan, emitting a fragrant aroma that immediately halted Gu Xiangyun’s initial words of refusal.

    Curiosity filled his eyes as he asked, “Mr.

    Ye, this is...?”

    “This is a Nourishing Yuan Pill.

    As long as a person is not yet dead, it can save their life,” Ye Xuan explained straightforwardly without any superfluous words.

    Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Gu Xiangyun’s expression slightly changed, and his gaze towards Ye Xuan grew somewhat unfriendly.

    “Mr.

    Ye, that joke isn’t funny at all.”

    Ye Xuan could fully sense Gu Xiangyun’s unfriendly demeanor, which made his eyes narrow slightly as he said, “I am not in the habit of joking.

    Go fetch someone who can make decisions.

    I don’t have time to dawdle here with you.”

    Seeing that Ye Xuan was not joking, Gu Xiangyun didn’t dare to take it lightly, fearing that Ye Xuan had a significant background.

    He hesitated, then nodded and quickly went to find the decision-maker.

    Time passed quickly, and in just ten short minutes, Gu Xiangyun returned, followed by a figure with a seductive and voluptuous figure.

    “Giggle giggle!”

    “Mr.

    Ye, the elixir you mentioned, is it really as miraculous as you say?”

    A seductive laugh, like a soul-snatching siren, sparked endless reverie in one’s heart.

    Gu Wan’er wore a fiery red dress, her exquisite and alluring face and curvaceous body exuded an indescribable sexiness, as if able to stir the deepest desires inside a man.

    “An Ancient Martial Artist, and a Grandmaster at that?”

    “Who would have thought that a modest Jiangnan City was hiding a character like you?”

    Upon seeing the sexy and enchanting Gu Wan’er, Ye Xuan smiled wryly.

    He hadn’t expected that merely buying some jade would lead to encountering an Ancient Martial Grandmaster.

    Were Ancient Martial Grandmasters really that common nowadays?

    As Ye Xuan’s words fell, Gu Wan’er, previously smiling coquettishly, suddenly paused, and her eyes showed a significant increase in wariness towards him.

    “Who are you?” Gu Wan’er’s seductive smile disappeared, and her expression turned instantly cold.

    Her red dress fluttered as if she was about to strike Ye Xuan at any moment.

    Seeing Gu Wan’er’s combative stance, Ye Xuan smirked and said, “Rest assured, I am not your enemy, nor do I have any interest in probing why a small auction house is guarded by an Ancient Martial Grandmaster.”

    “Seeing my cultivation, it seems Mr.

    Ye is also quite extraordinary.

    If you truly just want to buy some jade, Wan’er is willing to make your acquaintance,” Gu Wan’er said, her demeanor softening as she probed Ye Xuan.

    “I don’t wish to engage in pointless talk.

    I need a large amount of jade, and I’m willing to purchase it at the original price.

    Plus, this Nourishing Yuan Pill should compensate for your losses,” Ye Xuan said bluntly, not having the time to exchange pleasantries with the woman.

    When it came to the main topic, Gu Wan’er took a deep look at Ye Xuan, then nodded and said, “If this pill is as miraculous as you claim, this is all no problem.”

    Quickly, under Gu Wan’er’s command, Gu Xiangyun carefully scraped off a bit of powder from the Nourishing Yuan Pill and fed it directly to an injured dying mouse.

    In less than a minute, a highly miraculous scene unfolded.

    The previously dying mouse suddenly became spirited and stood up, squeaking incessantly in its cage.

    Its wounds visibly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    This scene made Gu Wan’er abruptly rise from her seat, her eyes intensely fixated on the Nourishing Yuan Pill on the table.

    “This...

    this...?”

    As a member of the Gu Family, there were few rare elixirs Gu Wan’er hadn’t seen, but the effects of the Nourishing Yuan Pill uncontrollably excited her emotions.
