Chapter 378: Chapter 377 Chaoyan’s Intentions

"It’s Mo Chuan!"

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan identified a person’s name.

To Xie Ying’s genuine surprise, she asked, "He actually came to the Southern Region, and he’s alone?"

"He’s alone."

Just now, Mo Chuan had hurriedly left the auction. Indeed, the Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan had only seen one person.

"He seems to be quite wealthy."

Xie Ying squinted her eyes, pondering the Mo Family’s assets, "It’s indeed fitting for a medical cultivator, even big families might not be able to take out that many Spirit Stones."

That Mo Chuan could produce them on his own was by no means normal.

Xie Ying asked, "Did he escape?"

"He was teleported away, subsequent situation unknown." The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan extended its search outside the city but did not find Mo Chuan, indicating that the Teleportation Talisman used was likely of a very high grade.

Xie Ying was very curious about what happened next.

However, she quickly put the matter to the back of her mind.

True Lord Mei Fu spoke up, "Who would like to come up next? Each item auctioned or exchanged will incur a ten percent service fee to the auction house."

Following that, more than a dozen people went up on stage, none of which interested Xie Ying, although Nalan Youfang exchanged for a Spirit Plant with someone.

By this time, most of the powerful figures in the auction had left, and those remaining were probably like Chaoyan, accompanying the younger generation.

Xie Ying found it quite uninteresting, "The items these people are offering are only suitable for Golden Core cultivators and below."

Chaoyan said matter-of-factly, "Of course they can’t compare to official auctions. If you don’t want to watch, we can leave."

"Where to?"

"Do you have any place you want to go?"

"Not anymore, I want to return to the Sect." Xie Ying was still worried about Clan Leader Xie’s condition.

Chaoyan agreed, just as he was about to suggest leaving.

He happened to glance down at the hall and saw a familiar figure stepping up on the stage.

"The stall owner of oddities?" Xie Ying recognized the person at a glance.

Nalan Youfang asked with curiosity, "What do you mean by that?"

The others looked at Xie Ying as well.

Xie Ying shared the events from the black market.

The younger generation listened with amazement, exclaiming how it broadened their horizons. When they learned that their invitations had been stolen by this very person, they were utterly astounded that such an oddity existed in the world.

"It’s enough to talk about it here. No matter what, that person is a Divinity Transformation cultivator, not someone you can provoke," Chaoyan admonished the group, then remembered something else.

He took out a Storage Bag and threw it to Nalan Youfang.

The Spirit Stones that came from Lord Wude were all given to Nalan Youfang by Chaoyan.

Nalan Youfang was quite surprised.

The others crowded around, wanting to see just how much wealth a Divinity Transformation cultivator possessed.

Xie Ying joined the commotion, only to see tens of millions of Spirit Stones, "Master, are these really all of his Spirit Stones?"

"Yes, he is a Loose Cultivator."

Without the support of a family, all resources had to be earned on his own.

To be honest, Chaoyan had quite a respect for such people.

That Lord Wude was now auctioning the items Xie Ying had seen before; some were unsold, others bought.

Seeing this, Xie Ying’s heart thumped, "That bastard, could he possibly auction the Fusang Order?"

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan said, "It’s very likely."

Both person and sword felt he might put it up for auction.

But even after Lord Wude auctioned off the last item and left, he hadn’t offered the Fusang Order.

Xie Ying’s heart skipped a beat.

What’s happening? Is the auction not continuing?

Chaoyan watched his disciple’s ever-changing expression, feeling unexpectedly amused, "What are you disappointed about, disciple?"

Xie Ying looked at her master.

Immediately, she gathered up her disheartened spirits.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw a token appear in Chaoyan’s palm, "Are you perhaps looking for this token?"

The Fusang Order?!

Xie Jiuniang’s eyes widened in shock as she looked towards Chaoyan.

Chaoyan was pleased, "You really do want it, take it! Here you go." After saying that, he handed the token over to her.

Xie Jiuniang’s heart leapt from despair to elation, "Master, how did you know I wanted this?"

She didn’t remember mentioning it to him, did she?

Chaoyan smiled, "It wasn’t hard to guess."

He still understood his own disciple somewhat.

When they had been in the black market, Xie Jiuniang had discovered the Fusang Order on a stall with her divine sense, and Chaoyan had likewise noticed it.

Back when Xie Jiuniang and Xie Ying were competing on the back mountain, it was over a Fusang Order, and Chaoyan had been there at that time.

Therefore, he knew such a token existed.

Seeing another one exactly like it, he couldn’t help but pay attention to it. Earlier, when he had gone to room E5 on the second floor to find Lord Wude, ostensibly for compensation, he was actually after the Fusang Order.

Xie Jiuniang’s hand tightened slightly around the token, as an inexplicable emotion welled up inside her. She had never had anyone be so good to her, not even her parents, with whom she had always had fleeting interactions.

Noticing something was amiss with her emotions, Chaoyan extended his large hand to rub her head, "If your master gives you something, keep it."

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely honor you in the future," Xie Jiuniang decided in her heart that she would never skimp on Master’s Monkey Wine again and would have Dashan brew a few more jars once she got back to the Sect.

As for the high-grade Spirit Fruits needed...

If the Sect didn’t have them, she could look for them in the Fusang Secret Realm.

After leaving the auction venue.

Chaoyan and the younger generation took a Flying Boat directly back to the clan.

After dropping off Nalan Youfang and the others at their clans, the master and disciple duo didn’t stay but immediately rushed to the Sect’s base and, using the Sect’s Transmission Array set in the Southern Region, returned to the Tianxu Sect the same day.

Meanwhile, a few of the clan members had just received word that the Child of Destiny was suspected to be in the Southern Region.

When they sent people over, they came up empty-handed.

Unaware that the target had already returned to the Sect.

On this trip back to the Sect, Xie Jiuniang kept a very low profile.

Chaoyan took her to look for Elder Yan in the Sect Secret Ground.

It was only then that Xie Jiuniang learned that the Sect’s secret ground was actually a not so large Secret Realm, completely under the control of the Sect.

The realm was filled with dense Spiritual Energy and was outfitted with several large Spiritual Veins, suitable for Divinity Transformation cultivation.

Once Chaoyan achieved Divinity Transformation, the Sect designated a piece of land for him here and built him a cave dwelling.

This was Xie Jiuniang’s first visit to the Sect Secret Ground.

She found everything fascinating.

Chaoyan first took his disciple to his cave dwelling and then sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Elder Yan.

Elder Yan arrived quickly, "Hahaha, Chaoyan, what matter brings you to seek me?"

"I do have something I’d like to consult with you about," Chaoyan replied cordially.

Upon entering the cave dwelling and laying eyes on Xie Jiuniang, Elder Yan’s eyes lit up, even more warmly than when seeing Chaoyan, "Ah, Little Yuanxi, it has been a long time since I last saw you, I’ve missed you greatly."

"We, we haven’t been apart for that long, have we?"

Xie Jiuniang suspected that what he truly missed wasn’t her but the items in her pocket.

Elder Yan’s smile was gentle, "Enough, tell me what is it you need?"

"It’s about my grandfather’s damaged Soul Source..." Xie Jiuniang forthrightly revealed the situation.

Elder Yan did not agree immediately but suggested conducting an examination of Clan Leader Xie’s injuries first.

Xie Jiuniang brought out the Jade Coffin.

After examining Clan Leader Xie, Elder Yan announced, "His condition is not very promising, even if we use a large amount of precious materials for nourishing the soul, he could survive by a stroke of luck but he might lose his memory."

"So, he can be saved?" Xie Jiuniang asked excitedly.

Elder Yan cautiously stated, "There is one method."

But he couldn’t guarantee that it would definitely work, only that there was a sixty to seventy percent chance of success.
