Chapter 384: 383, Red Plume Auction House

"Lu Hanmo and I are planning to visit the Red Plume Auction House." Luo Shu said.

"The Blood Sea Domain Ruins will open in half a month, and it’s not too far from Silver Fir City. I heard rumors that Nascent Soul Fruits might be inside. Are you planning to go?" Yun Han asked. Ever since he learned that Luo Shu had been poisoned by Nascent Soul Fruit Pollen, he had been tirelessly searching for the fruit. However, the Nascent Soul Fruit was exceedingly rare. Upon hearing that there might be some in the Blood Sea Domain Ruins, he intended to check it out.

"Let’s wait until we visit the Red Plume Auction House, then decide based on what we find," Luo Shu replied. If the auction house didn’t have any Nascent Soul Fruits, even if she went to the Blood Sea Domain Ruins, it would be a missed opportunity for cultivation. By that time, her cultivation level would have dropped to the Qi Refinement Realm, and even if she went, she would only be able to stay within her own space.

"Alright! Once you find some, let me know. Xiao Yao and I will keep looking for you here," Yun Han said.

"Thank you, Yun Han," Luo Shu expressed her gratitude.

"What’s there to thank for? We’re friends, aren’t we? I won’t keep you any longer; I have some things to handle," Yun Han said before ending the communication.

Luo Shu put away the communication talisman and saw Lu Hanmo quietly watching her. She smiled at him, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Shushu, I’m feeling a sense of crisis," Lu Hanmo reached out and took Luo Shu’s hand. He knew that she had eyes only for him, but he couldn’t help feeling jealous.

"Silly!" Luo Shu laughed and gave Lu Hanmo a sideways glance, placing his hand on her chest, "My heart has room only for you; there’s no space for anyone else." It was true in her previous life and it was true in this one.

Lu Hanmo’s body temperature soared, his face flushed instantly, his breathing became a bit rapid, and his heartbeat thundered.

Realizing what she had done as she noticed Lu Hanmo’s condition, Luo Shu quickly pushed his hand away and, blushing, turned to look outside the carriage. Since she had no defenses against him, sometimes she acted without even noticing herself.

Lu Hanmo took several deep breaths before managing to calm the restlessness in his heart, "Shushu!" His voice still carried a hint of a sexy rasp.

"Hmm," Luo Shu responded softly without turning around. The feeling of his hand on her chest moments ago sent her heartbeat racing uncontrollably.

"Once we return, may I formally propose to your family?" Lu Hanmo reached out and embraced Luo Shu from behind, pulling her into his arms.

Luo Shu’s lips curved into a sweet smile as she relaxed into Lu Hanmo’s embrace, "If my dad agrees, I have no objections."

Lu Hanmo’s mouth twitched involuntarily. Considering Shushu’s current father, Luo Qianyu seemed to be a more difficult person to deal with.

Red Plume Auction House was the largest auction house in Silver Fir City. As Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo stepped off the beast carriage, they saw a distinctive red, inverted triangular building.

"Welcome! This is a directory of today’s auction items at our auction house. Feel free to go inside and take a look," an attendant from the auction house approached and handed Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo a flyer.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo accepted the flyer, glanced over it briefly, and felt a tinge of disappointment as they didn’t find any Nascent Soul Fruits listed for sale.

Approaching the attendant who distributed flyers, Luo Shu inquired, "Excuse me, does this flyer list all the items that will be auctioned today?"

"This is only a small part of the items. Some especially valuable items won’t be listed on the flyer," the attendant replied.

"Then, might there be Nascent Soul Fruits for sale?" Luo Shu asked, hopeful.

"I’m not sure about that, but you can go in and ask our auction house’s manager," the clerk said.

"Thank you!" Luo Shu thanked him, and she and Lu Hanmo walked toward the Red Plume Auction House. Since they were there, they naturally couldn’t just give up. They at least had to ask about the result to be at peace with it.

After entering the auction house and inquiring with the counter staff, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo were led to the manager of the auction house.

The manager of the auction house was a middle-aged cultivator at the Nascent Soul Primary Stage. Seeing Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo come in, he smiled and pointed to the seats opposite him, "Please sit down! May I know what brings you two here?"

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo sat down as told.

"We’d like to inquire whether there is a Nascent Soul Fruit for auction here," Lu Hanmo asked, looking at the manager.

The manager smiled and nodded his head, "There is, but it’s a conditional auction."

"What condition?" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo both showed a hint of surprise. As long as it was available, they had one more hope. Now, as long as they could recover their cultivation, they would strive to meet any condition.

"The seller of the Nascent Soul Fruit entrusted our auction house to auction it under the condition that he only wants to exchange it for a Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed," the manager said. That Nascent Soul Fruit had been in their auction house for over half a year because the seller only wanted a Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed, and thus it had never been sold.

Although the Nascent Soul Fruit was rare, except for curing the poison from Nascent Soul Fruit Pollen, it didn’t have many other uses. Many people wanted to bid on it as a precaution.

But the Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed could repair meridians and, although not as rare as the Nascent Soul Fruit, was much more useful than the Nascent Soul Fruit. Therefore, some people, even if they had it, were reluctant to exchange it for the Nascent Soul Fruit.

"Just the Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed is needed?" Luo Shu couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart. She felt that the Nascent Soul Fruit seemed to be prepared just for her; otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the other party needed a Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed to exchange for the Nascent Soul Fruit, and she just happened to have it?

"Yes," the manager nodded. He had noticed the moment Luo Shu entered that she was poisoned with Nascent Soul Fruit Pollen.

Luo Shu took out the Nine-Leaf Lotus Seed and handed it to the manager. After verifying it was correct, the manager took out the Nascent Soul Fruit from his Storage Ring and handed it to Luo Shu.

The Nascent Soul Fruit was purple-red, about the size of a tomato, with a very tough skin, somewhat like a walnut shell.

"Thank you!" Luo Shu excitedly took the Nascent Soul Fruit. She would finally be able to restore her cultivation.

Lu Hanmo’s face also showed a hint of excitement, his fists clenched tightly. Nothing could make him happier than seeing Shushu recover her cultivation.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo left the auction house and found an inn nearby to rent a room.

After setting up the formation, they immediately entered the space. That they could obtain the Nascent Soul Fruit so smoothly had been beyond their expectations.

"I can finally restore my cultivation, that’s great!" Luo Shu took out the Nascent Soul Fruit, looking at it happily.

"Mhm!" Lu Hanmo smiled as he took the Nascent Soul Fruit and broke it forcefully. A bunch of crystal-clear white fruits immediately appeared in front of them both.
