The Urban Medical Martial Immortal
Chapter 580 - 580 576 Soul Suppressing Stone

580: Chapter 576: Soul Suppressing Stone 580: Chapter 576: Soul Suppressing Stone Seeing Qian Xiaohui appear, Lin Tian was initially thrilled.

But her response sent a chill through his heart.

A cold killing intent surged involuntarily within his chest.

How could Lin Tian have anticipated that Qian Xiaohui would not recognize him?

Looking at the girl’s reaction, it was certainly not an act.

Rather…

she truly did not recognize him!

The girl’s eyes were filled with indifference, showing no trace of emotion toward Lin Tian, as if looking at a stranger she had never met before.

“Has she been poisoned with some kind of Poisonous Insect Poison?”

Lin Tian was certain that the girl before him was Qian Xiaohui, but it seemed she had lost her memory or suffered from some other condition that caused her to forget the past.

If she were pretending, Lin Tian would have noticed some signs.

Such a foreign and unfluctuating gaze was not easy to feign.

With this in mind, Lin Tian paid no heed to the young man standing beside Qian Xiaohui; his Divine Sense directly enveloped her.

After scanning Qian Xiaohui’s body several times, Lin Tian’s brow furrowed slightly.

He found nothing abnormal about her.

Even a mild poisoning or slight anomaly should not have escaped the detection of Divine Sense.

Yet now, Qian Xiaohui seemed perfectly normal but did not recognize him.

“There’s definitely something fishy!”

Thinking this, Lin Tian’s gaze fell on the young man standing beside Qian Xiaohui.

The young man was dressed in a black suit, handsome and refined.

At this moment, the young man was also sizing up Lin Tian, looking his way.

“Do you know Xiao Hui Senior Sister?”

The young man revealed a cordial smile and nodded to Lin Tian as he asked.

“No, I don’t know her.

I mistook her for someone else.”

Lin Tian responded with a slight smile and a shake of his head.

The young man looked very handsome and charismatic, certainly the type that could captivate young girls and married women alike.

However, Lin Tian felt uneasy about the young man’s smile.

Although the other did not possess any Cultivation, there was something about the seemingly genteel smile that made Lin Tian distinctly uncomfortable.

This person was suspicious!

And he even referred to Qian Xiaohui as Senior Sister!

Neither of them possessed Cultivation, so had they both become disciples under Gu Liuushui?

Lin Tian’s mind was filled with doubts.

At that moment, Changsun Zihui suddenly came close and clung to Lin Tian’s arm, saying to the young man opposite, “I didn’t expect the Mengg Family would also come to congratulate Elder Zheng!”

“Since everyone else was busy, naturally it was left to me, Mengg Hao, to attend!”

The young man looked at Changsun Zihui with a smile and said, “Sister-in-law, is this your brother?

Hurry and introduce us!”

Mengg Family?

Sister-in-law?

The words of the two caused some surprise in Lin Tian.

The young man before him was from the Mengg Family of Liiu Yuan City, and he directly addressed Changsun Zihui as sister-in-law, clearly indicating that he was Mengg Zhao’s brother.

It was evident, just how domineering that member of the Mengg Family, Mengg Zhao, was; even without any concrete relationship, he had already marked another as his woman.

“Mengg Hao, please don’t talk nonsense on such an occasion!”

Changsun Zihui’s smile vanished, and her expression turned unsightly as she coldly said, “And this person is not my brother, but my boyfriend!”

As she said this, Changsun Zihui deliberately rubbed herself against Lin Tian, pressing her voluptuous body against him until it was almost deformed.

Mengg Hao was briefly stunned, but soon his expression returned to normal with a smile as if nothing had happened.

“Sister-in-law, then you two enjoy yourselves!”

Mengg Hao amiably said to Changsun Zihui, then he smiled at Lin Tian, “Make sure you entertain my sister-in-law well.

Oh, and enjoy it to the fullest!

Otherwise, there might not be another chance!”

After the two walked away, Changsun Zihui’s face looked extremely unpleasant.

“He’s Mengg Zhao’s brother, Mengg Hao!

Don’t be fooled by his smile; he’s actually very ruthless!

I’ve caused you trouble again.”

Changsun Zihui looked at Lin Tian apologetically and said solemnly, “But, do you know that girl?”

“She’s one of the friends I’m looking for, Qian Xiaohui!”

Lin Tian nodded slightly and added, “Please check on her situation for me!

As for the rest, you need not worry.

This is our deal!”

The charity auction was about to begin.

Lin Tian and Changsun Zihui found seats and sat down.

The auction was presided over by a flamboyantly dressed woman who, with every gesture, exuded a seductive charm that made many men in the audience’s eyes light up.

The woman, evidently accustomed to such occasions, hosted the event with practiced ease.

With each item presented, the woman skillfully stirred up the interests of the wealthy and distinguished guests, leading to steep climbs in the prices during the fierce bidding.

Jewelry, jade, diamonds, calligraphy, antiques, and even a variety of precious medicinal herbs were varied and many.

However, none caught Lin Tian’s eye.

However, Lin Tian noticed that Mengg Hao, not far away, would instantly raise his bidding paddle and call out a doubled price whenever an antique or artwork was auctioned.

At this point, others would typically cease bidding.

Not only because of Mengg Hao’s high bids but also because he was from the Mengg Family, many wisely steered clear of competing.

Few could afford the wrath of the Mengg Family.

“Many thanks to Young Master Mengg for your generous contribution!

Elder Zheng has decided to use the proceeds from this auction to support the impoverished mountainous regions at the edges of Guixi Province.

On behalf of Elder Zheng, I would like to express our gratitude to you all!” The auctioneer bowed slightly to the audience in thanks, then continued, “Now, let’s proceed with the auction.”

The woman picked up a jade box from the auction table, opened it, and said, “This black stone, found in an ancient coffin, is of unknown material.

We have researched it but have been unable to determine what it’s made of.

However, all other objects in that ancient coffin have decayed, leaving only this stone intact.

Speaking of which, we haven’t yet discovered its specific use.

The only certainty is it’s incredibly hard, so much so that not even a road roller could break it.

If any friend here is interested, you can start bidding now, with a starting price of one hundred thousand!”

Just because the stone was hard?

Many in the audience exchanged glances.

Many were dumbfounded at the thought that a plain black stone could be priced at one hundred thousand.

The venue fell into a moment of silence.

But at this moment, Mengg Hao once again raised his bidding paddle and declared, “Two hundred thousand, I’ll take this stone!”

The woman on the auction stage was visibly pleased and promptly asked, “Young Master Mengg bids two hundred thousand, does anyone offer a higher price?”

Below, no one spoke; many were shaking their heads and smirking.

A hard stone being bought for several hundred thousand seemed ludicrous, even if they had the money, they lacked the inclination.

And since Mengg Hao had made a bid, no one dared to interfere further.

However.

Seated in the back of the auction hall, Lin Tian’s eyes suddenly brightened with a sharp glint, radiating intense eagerness.

“Isn’t this the Soul Suppressing Stone?

This treasure can nourish the soul and spirit, and it’s a major aid in cultivating Divine Sense!

If one were to refine it, not only could it subtly enhance the Divine Sense, but when combined with other treasures to create a Magical Treasure, it could also disturb and confuse others’ Divine Souls.

The effects can be unexpected!

Especially for Soul Cultivators, such an attack could be fatal!”

Lin Tian was inwardly thrilled, never expecting to just come in for a look and actually stumble upon a treasure.

He decided he must acquire it.
