606: Chapter 566: Qi Condensing Herb_1 606: Chapter 566: Qi Condensing Herb_1 Lu Chuan’s kick was incredibly vicious, nearly kicking Xu Chong to death.

As Xu Chong lay on the ground, blood spurted continuously from his mouth, his chest soaked in blood.

“You!

How dare you strike my son so ruthlessly, I won’t let you off!”

Xu Shenghua pointed at Lu Chuan, yelling in fury.

Hua Qianwu looked at Xu Shenghua, feeling somewhat perplexed.

This man was actually so disrespectful to her, warning him once, yet he still dared to be insolent towards Lu Chuan.

Could it be…

Did he no longer fear the Hua family’s support?

The Xu family had grown gradually stronger thanks to the Hua family, almost securing their position as the second most powerful in Flower City.

All this time, they had been obedient to the Hua family, not daring to defy them in the slightest.

Today’s Xu Shenghua was truly behaving oddly.

At that moment, Lu Chuan looked towards Xu Shenghua and dismissively said, “Why don’t you try to take revenge for your son right now, and see if you can manage it?”

Hearing this, Xu Shenghua faltered.

Taking action against Lu Chuan right now would be provoking the Hua family, and he certainly didn’t want to start a war with the Hua family prematurely.

He took a deep breath, his trembling hands gradually steadying.

Then, he slowly resumed his seat, eyes filled with silent resentment as he looked at Lu Chuan.

“Go, quickly get someone to save my son; not a second can be wasted!

If he’s not saved in time, I won’t forgive any of you!”

Xu Shenghua barked an order, and two members of the Xu family immediately stood up and walked over to Xu Chong.

The auction that had been buzzing with activity was now deathly silent, the entire atmosphere cold as ice.

People in the audience whispered amongst themselves, not daring to speak up loudly.

However, everyone was taken aback by Lu Chuan.

No one expected this young man from out of town to be so powerful, showing no fear of the Xu family’s influence.

Having surveyed the crowd, Lu Chuan said calmly, “Ladies and gentlemen, please continue with the auction.

My dispute with the Xu family has ended.”

With those words, he continued to walk towards the audience seats, no longer entangling himself with the Xu family members.

Today, attending the Xu family auction, his most important task was to help Hua Qianwu obtain the Qi Condensing Herb, an essential ingredient.

Therefore, he didn’t want the situation to worsen.

Although, he wasn’t afraid of the Xu family…

Once he returned to his seat, Gu Xiaosang said excitedly, “That was so brutal, you nearly kicked that man to death!”

“I never expected the Carefree Taoist Priest’s precious sword to be so formidable.”

Hua Qianwu quickly turned her attention and curiously asked, “The Carefree Taoist Priest?

Was this sword given by the Carefree Taoist Priest?”

“Indeed, who is the Carefree Taoist Priest?”

Hua Qianwu, who had never been to Carefree City and thus unaware of the Carefree Taoist Priest, felt a growing curiosity.

Lu Chuan offhandedly said, “The Carefree Taoist Priest serves as sort of a mentor to me.

He gave me this precious sword and a sword manual, essentially passing on his legacy to me.”

“Although I’m not his formal disciple, I’m still very grateful he was willing to help me.”

This bronze sword was undeniably of excellent quality; the bronze seal on the outside was simply unable to be opened.

That did not mean the interior of the precious sword was still made of bronze.

Naturally, Lu Chuan had no knowledge of how to unleash the real power of the precious sword, even the Carefree Taoist Priest, who had wielded it for a lifetime, couldn’t unravel the secret of this precious sword.

Hua Qianwu became curious upon hearing this and remarked, “This Carefree Taoist Priest sounds quite formidable.”

“This sword is indeed extraordinary.

Next to it, the Green Jade Dragon Sword seems so fragile.

It appears that this sword is truly exceptional.”

She glanced at the precious sword on Lu Chuan’s back, her heart brimming with curiosity.

“Right, besides being exceptionally hard, does your sword have any other effects?”

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile and said, “Its main function is to slay evil spirits.

Since I’ve arrived in Flower City, I have yet to see any evil spirits emerge.”

Hua Qianwu’s eyes widened in curiosity, “Evil spirits?

What are those?”

“They are malevolent beings that parasitize the human body, continually ravaging the host until death, and then take over.”

Upon hearing this description, Hua Qianwu felt a chill run through her – the thought was too dangerous.

If one were to be possessed by an evil spirit, wouldn’t they die without knowing how?

It seemed, then, that this precious sword was indeed out of the ordinary.

Although there had been an unpleasant little incident at the auction, the event continued regardless.

After all, this was an opportunity for the Xu family to make money, and they naturally wouldn’t end it hastily.

Several treasures were brought up in succession, but neither Hua Qianwu nor Lu Chuan found anything they wanted.

Only Gu Xiaosang couldn’t resist bidding on a beautiful necklace that caught her eye, but apart from that, they didn’t bid on anything else.

Hua Qianwu’s intent was clear; she had come today specifically for the Qi Condensing Herb.

After a dozen or so auction items were presented, finally, it was time for the Qi Condensing Herb.

A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam came over, pushing a small cart.

On the cart was a potted plant with a pale blue herb resembling a hanging basket in shape, but with a more distinct color.

Around the Qi Condensing Herb, currents of air swirled, showing that it was absorbing nature’s spiritual energy.

The host then began to introduce it.

“This is the Qi Condensing Herb, capable of absorbing and storing nature’s spiritual energy.

After purchase, it can be placed at home.

Once it has absorbed the Spiritual Energy, you can draw it back from the plant.”

“Of course, you can also make it into an elixir pill to quickly boost your strength.”

“No matter how you use it, this is a valuable treasure.”

“Now, let us begin the bidding.”

“The starting bid is two thousand taels of gold.”

Gu Xiaorou, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but exclaim, “This herb is really quite special, commanding a starting price of two thousand taels of gold.”

“It is no ordinary item; I must obtain it!” Hua Qianwu said, her tone resolute.

This kind of herb was very rare, and missing this opportunity would make it difficult to find another.

At that moment, Lu Chuan curiously asked, “If you are on good terms with the Xu family, why not just ask them for it?”

Hearing this, Hua Qianwu sighed, “I mentioned it to them backstage, but their response was to bid normally since the auction list had already been published.

Suddenly withdrawing an item would upset the other guests.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “That excuse seems rather far-fetched.

If other people knew it was the Hua family taking the item, would they dare to object?”

Hua Qianwu shrugged helplessly, “There’s nothing I can do if that’s what they say.

I can’t very well insist, can I?”

“Let it be; I’ll follow the rules and bid.

Maybe they just want to make more money,” she conceded.

Immediately, Hua Qianwu raised her placard and said, “I bid three thousand taels of gold.”

However, no sooner had she spoken than a man in white in the corner hastily raised his placard, shouting, “I bid 5000 taels of gold.”

The price was raised to 5000 taels of gold in one go, surprising everyone present.
